Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 252 Preparation

After Darren killed the young man, a door that emitted rays of blinding light suddenly emerged infront of him, but he didn't rush to enter it.

He stayed put for a few moments, waiting for the young man to gradually regain his consciousnessjust like the other masters did in the previous rounds.

"I lost to you," the young man said, shivering. "You are so powerful.”

There was a look of sheer terror on his face and he could not bring himself to look Darren in theeye. He was totally shocked by what just happened in the fight.

"According to the rules, I should get a reward after defeating you,” Darren calmly replied.

The young man nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed. The reward is different from the otherrounds, and it will be very important to you."

The moment he stopped talking, an old book flew into Darren's hand.

"What is this? Is it the legendary martial skill?" Darren asked with a raised brow.

The young man shook his head and replied, "This book contains all the detailed information aboutthe masters in the tenth round and eleventh round. It even has information about the twelfth roundand thirteenth round. This may sound surprising, but I honestly hope that you'll make it through thelast two rounds. I myself have never been there in my entire life.”

"Hum? So you mean that you had once entered the eleventh round?" Darren asked, his curiosityburning.

"Yes. I once tried to pass the Ancient Void Battlefield. After I passed the ninth round, they put myspiritual intent here to guard this space. But my strength was not strong enough to pass theeleventh round. The master in the eleventh round was so powerful. Few people in the world couldmatch her strength. Maybe after you put a lot of efforts into your practice and improved your Bladeand Sword Domain, there is a slim chance for you to face her," the young man explained with abitter smile on his face.

"How do you know that I have Blade and Sword Domain? I have never used it in front of you,"Darren asked in surprise.

Since the young man was also a master who could use his blade and sword at the same time,Darren knew that even if he used his Blade and Sword Domain to attack him, it wouldn't inflict anotable damage on him.

"I'm the person in charge of this ninth space, so it is perfectly natural that I know all the informationabout your blade and sword.

Actually, your power of the Blade and Sword Domain is more powerful than mine. But it is inevitablethat the hard rules of the test limited your real strength, so you were not able to bring out the bestin you.

I'm curious... how did you surpass me in blade and sword intent?”

Darren replied, "Your blade intent and sword intent were indeed strong, but you didn't notice thatwhen I broke your array, the broken pieces of your intent could be assimilated into my body. So myblade and sword intents got a big boost while in battle. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would have usedmy strongest talent skill to attack your powerful array." It was the truth.

When Darren was fighting the young man’s blade and sword array, he could assimilate the youngman's broken intent and succeed in defeating him. He was able to do it in the most effective andsubtle way.

Darren decided to tell him because there was no harm in sharing the secret with him. After all, theyoung man was only a streak of spiritual intent now.

"Well, I see. You have really impressed me." The young man had never heard that the blade andsword intents could be assimilated. It was unthinkable until now.

"Since you still have enough time, you can improve your strength here before you enter the nextround. And I can help you develop your Blade and Sword Domain, too," the young man offeredkindly.

"That's my plan, too.” Darren wanted to look through the brochure first and replace the information ofthe masters before entering the next round.

The young man was also more proficient in blade and sword than Darren, so it was a good decisionto let a friend to help him develop his skills.

In the following days, Darren spent all his time in practicing skills and improving his strength afterskimming through the brochure. He got a general impression of the masters in the next rounds.According to the brochure, the master in the eleventh round was so powerful that her strength hadsurpassed the peak stage of the Wonder Realm. She was equal to the grand warrior!

There was only a few descriptions regarding the last two rounds, so it was hard to tell their realstrength.

His immediate goal was to pass the eleventh round. In order to do that, he had to hurry up andimprove his strength.

Three months of the outside world passed. Finally, it was time for those talents to get out of theAncient Void Battlefield.

The big day had come at last. All the talents gathered at the place where they first came into theAncient Void Battlefield.

Among those talents, only Violet could enter the ninth round, but she failed to enter the next round.After she was defeated by the master of the ninth round, she was transferred out of the space.Bowen put a lot of effort into practice and kept on improving his strength. He finally entered theeighth round, but like Violet, he also failed in the end. Still, it was not a total loss since he got plentyof valuable lessons in the process. Moreover, he gained a lot of experience in cultivation. Once hegot out of there, it was absolutely certain that he would make a big improvement in his strength."Alas, it didn't occur to me that the tests of the Ancient Void Battlefield were so difficult. The grandwarriors even expected us to enter the eleventh round, yet I could now understand that it was avirtually impossible mission to complete.”

"You are right. Even Ms. Violet Wang failed in the ninth round, so that speaks for itself."

"Huh? What about Darren? Did he die in the Ancient Void Battlefield?" There were only about thirtypeople left at the spot, but none of them could forget Darren who deeply impressed everyone atthat time.

The guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield showed up in front of them.

"Time is up. The Ancient Void Battlefield is about to close. We will transfer you guys out of here.” Ashe finished, the guardian raised his hand. Suddenly, pieces of gifts fell into each talent's hands.Those gifts were the final rewards for their efforts.

"This time, there is one person who is qualified to enter the tenth round. I hope that he can passthrough the thirteenth round in the near future. If he could do it, he would become the first personin martial history to pass all the tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield!" the guardian exclaimed, hiseyes filled with excitement.

"Ah! That person must be Darren!" Someone blurted out upon hearing the guardian'sannouncement.

"Yes, that guy is Darren.” A relieved smile spread over the guardian's face.

"It is really him," Violet murmured to herself in sheer admiration. Since she had experienced theninth round, she knew how hard and terrifying it was to beat the master. No matter how hard shetried, she couldn't replace a way out. But to everyone's surprise, Darren succeeded. He was able to doit

“Once he gets out of here, I will ask him what happened in the last few rounds, * Violet thought toherself.

After several quarters of an hour, the rest of the talents were transferred out of the Ancient VoidBattlefield. They came back to the Grand Void Manor.

A grand warrior sensed that the talents had come back. He immediately sent a shadow in front ofthe talents to ask them about the situation in detail.

When the grand warrior showed up, everyone was well-behaved. They wore looks ofembarrassment on their faces and didn't dare look him in the eyes because they thought they failedto live up to his expectations.

"You guys don't need to be disappointed with the results. We all know that it is difficult to pass allthe tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield. It is absolutely normal that you guys couldn't enter theeleventh round.

But I want to know... who passed through the highest round in the Ancient Void Battlefield? Comehere and get your reward.”

The grand warrior, whose name was Brian, motioned for the said talent to approach him.

As he did so, he deliberately cast a glance at the crowd and looked for Darren.

In a quiet yard, Brian's real body shook his head and said, "Chad, I said that we should not have letthe young man enter the Ancient Void Battlefield. But your man insisted that he should attempt toclear the tests. Now that the poor young man has died in there. You killed an innocent man.”

Brian feigned sadness and gave out a sigh. But the truth was, he didn't care whether Darren wasdead or not. He just wanted to replace something to tease Chad with. This was all fun and games forhim.

"Humph. It is none of my business. I did not ask him to do it. I did not force him to enter theAncient Void Battlefield," Chad replied indifferently.

"Fate plays cruel tricks sometimes. He knew that he was doomed to die in the Ancient VoidBattlefield from the start, but he still went in there. He deserved it. But it is a pity that no one wasable to enter the tenth round this time. If the Ancient Void Battlefield had not opened in advance,we could have found the top superior talents on the Talent Roll to enter the tests. In that case, itmight increase the chances of winning.”

The grand warriors never expected that the Ancient Void Battlefield would open in advance thistime. When they got the news, there was not much time left for them to replace some strongersuperior talents.

Meanwhile, in the Grand Void Manor

"Sir, Ms. Violet Wang entered the ninth round,” a talent replied.

"Ha-ha. That's great. After the meeting is over, Violet can get a special reward. Alas, it is a pity thatthe ninth round is the highest round we reached this time.” Brian couldn't help but give out a sigh."Sir, actually, Ms. Violet Wang is not the person who passed the highest round in the Ancient VoidBattlefield,” one of the talents replied hesitantly.

"Huh?" Brian looked as though he was just doused with cold water. "What do you mean?"
