Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 1465 Guidance (Part One)

Darren despised Todd from the bottom of his heart. "You shirked your status as a deputy god, andcheated. Have you no shame?'

Fortunately, he hadn't used his most powerful move yet. It was well within his means to have theability to fight.

Once he used the sixth move of the supreme sword skill, black god's power and penetrating powerwould morph together with his sword intent. Moreover, Darren had secretly prepared the sixSpiritual Flying Swords.

If this proved to be moot, he planned to simply launch a clever sneak attack on Todd. Anyhow, Toddwas the one who cheated first.

Todd stood wielding his sword tightly in both his hands. He attached a powerful intent to his swordand began to slash wildly at Darren.

"Look at you, slashing away as if you were chopping wood with those hands. The only differencethis time is that you're using both hands,” said Darren in a bored tone. Todd had spent his whole lifehoning this attack. It should've been amazing, but Darren could only see it as choppy and lackingany glimmer.

Darren shook his head as he decided to focus on the battle.

As soon as he launched his attack, his sword, condensed by sword intent, flew out and collided withTodd's in mere seconds.

The shrill explosion made Darren's ears bleed as he winced back. His body was thrown away by theimpact, and a sharp pain pierced at his internal organs.

Bang!

Darren slammed against the wall of the secret room. His bones broke with a nasty crunch.

"Damn it! I can't believe I lost to that.” Darren couldn't help but feel disappointed that he couldn'tdefeat Todd in the end.

After a while, the sword intents completely dissipated.

"Darren, how could you be so pathetic?"

Darren turned to the speaker and saw that Todd had been thrown to the wall just like him. Althoughhe was not injured, he looked like he was in a more embarrassing situation than Darren.

Seeing this, Darren smirked. It seemed that his fighting power was on a par with Todd's after all. IfTodd didn't possess the physical strength of a deputy god, he would have been in a more miserablestate than him.

This certainly raised Darren's spirits. He hadn't used the Spiritual Flying Swords yet, after all!

"You were superb, sir. I was defeated,” said Darren as he healed his injuries.

"Bullshit!" Todd said sullenly. He knew that should they have had the same physical strength, hewould've lost the battle.

"You didn't use that move in our first battle.” Todd went and began to act shamelessly once again.Darren could only feel frustration in return. "Why can't I use it? I have more than one move! Must Iexplain all my moves to you just so you can defeat me?'

"Ahem, sir, why did I feel that you seemed to have used the move at the top level of the CelestialGod Realm just now?" Darren didn't want to argue with him, so he exposed his tricks on the spot.Todd blushed furiously in response. He was seen through.

"Uh... Maybe that was just your imagination. Let's stop talking about it.” Todd quickly covered it upand restored his original appearance with his god's power.

"I have to admit that you are definitely a genius, not inferior to Finley in any way at all. As a warriorat the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, you actually released the fighting power at the low-level of the Superior God Realm. I believe by the time you reach the Superior God Realm, yourability will be unimaginable," explained Todd, with a very calm and calculated look on his face.

He was in awe. He had never expected that Darren could unleash such immense power. Hisastonishment was understandable. In the entire Primitive Wilderness, there had never been a warriorlike Darren, a middle-level Celestial God Realm warrior, who possessed the fighting power of a low-level Superior God Realm warrior.

The most outstanding warriors throughout the history of the Primitive Wilderness had been thosewho were at the top level of the Celestial God Realm and yet could fight against the ordinarywarriors at the Superior God Realm. Even Lord Starry Sword and Lord Feng had only obtained theability by sheer luck to compete with the top-level deputy gods after they had reached the top levelof the Superior God Realm.

"I'm flattered, sir. Before reaching the peak of the martial arts, any talent is like smoke, and candisappear if not honed," said Darren in a serious tone.

He spoke truthfully and from the bottom of his heart. No matter how gifted one was, before theybecame the strongest warrior in the world, they were always in danger of being vanquished andlosing their life. A fallen talent was no longer a talent.

Nodding slightly in agreement, Todd said, "You don't have to think about it too much. Just focus oncultivation and there will be a chance for you to reach the top someday. By the way, I saw yoursword move just now. It's definitely fantastic, but there were a few things to improve on.”

Todd was back on the topic.

"Oh? Please give me some advice, sir." Darren cupped his hands in respect. He had always thoughtthat his sword skill was already perfected.

"It's very simple. The power of your sword move is not being used to its fullest potential,” explainedTodd.

"I understand. I'm still not strong enough,” said Darren.

He was only at the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, so the power of the sword formula hecould release was certainly limited. If he were at the top level of the Celestial God Realm, then itwould have been another story.

Actually, the cultivation method he was using was originally owned by the supreme gods. Only theycould unleash the most destructive power of the sword skill. Darren had only mastered a fraction ofit by this point.

"No, I'm not talking about your cultivation base. Although you are only at the Celestial God Realmnow, your strike shouldn't have been so weak."

"Oh? Please enlighten me."

Todd nodded and continued, "Your cultivation method must be an incomplete one, and this hasgreatly affected its power. The key point is that I have fought with you twice, and you have onlyused two sword moves. The power of the first one is much weaker than the second one. Do you replacethat normal?"

Darren furrowed his brows in confusion and said, "It's normal. The first time, I used the fifth move ofthe sword skill; while the second time, I used the sixth move. The power differs, of course.”"Hahaha..."

Hearing this, Todd couldn't help but give out a hearty laugh. This was the root of the problem.

"In your opinion, the last move of the sword skill is always the most powerful, right? Let me tell you,this is the misunderstanding of most swordsmen. According to your thought, what's the point of thefirst five moves of this cultivation method? Wouldn't it have been enough to directly create the sixthmove? Let's say there were one hundred moves. Why did the creator need to create the first ninety-nine moves instead of directly creating the 100th one?"

Darren felt that Todd was on to something, but he hadn't quite wrapped his head around it yet.

He only felt that what Todd said was very reasonable. Every time he comprehended aswordsmanship, he would feel that any previous moves were useless.

For example, when he had just comprehended the second move, he would default to using thesecond move when fighting against his enemies. He would completely disregard the move thatpreceded it.

Now the question was, why did the creator create the first move at all? Just to pave the way forcomprehending the second move? This reason was too far-fetched. A real master would abandonall useless moves and comprehend the essence of the move instead.

Seeing the excitement and confusion in Darren's eyes, Todd said, "Haven't you figured it out yet?You need to connect your moves. Each move ultimately makes the next one more powerful.Eventually, the power of this superimposition will be stronger than the power of your six movescombined. It will be beyond your imagination.”

Connection!

It turned out that this was the key. Darren's eyes grew as he immediately understood.

"Thank you for your advice, sir!" Darren had a eureka moment. He was very excited at the thoughtthat his fighting power could be further improved.

His surprise only made Todd roll his eyes with a deep sigh.

"You're quite an impulsive person, huh. Do you really understand what I just said? If it was really aseasy as you think, then everyone would be a master of swordsmanship.”

"Ahem." Embarrassed, Darren tried to stop his stutter and continued, "Sir, trust me, I reallyunderstand.”

"Well then, show me what you've got and attack me."

Todd cracked his knuckles with a serious face and raised an eyebrow at Darren, daring him to makea move.
