Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 271 The Journey To The Raksa Sea (Part Two)

Then Darren headed for Skywalker Alliance. He knew that he had to prepare for the journey to theRaksa Sea before it was too late.

A month was insufficient preparation time for the trip.

"Darren, our master has sent for you." Boyce was overjoyed when he found Darren in his dwelling."Sure. Tell Mr. Lou that I will be right there,” Darren answered delightedly. It was no surprise thatChad would summon him.

After several minutes, Darren was waiting in the palatial hall for an audience with Chad.

"Oh, my dear nephew, Darren! Do have a seat,” said Chad, warmly. The host didn't make Darren waitfor long. Though by the time he showed up, a dozen young warriors had already been waiting for awhile. Chad ignored them and addressed Darren first. And, he beckoned to Darren to sit at thehead, in front of Tom.

"Good day, Darren!" a man conveyed his regards to Darren.

"How are you doing, Darren?" greeted another young fellow enthusiastically.

Though all the warriors present were accomplished in martial arts, they remained pleasant andrespectful in front of Darren. They had to for Darren had achieved much more, and, moreimportantly, he was higher in rank among the disciples.

Darren remained silent. When a warrior greeted him, Darren responded by nodding. He sat downthe minute Chad asked him to. It was impolite to speak in front of Chad before being spoken to.After Darren took his seat, Chad walked to the podium and began his speech. "Mighty warriors!Your presence greatly honors me. Tomorrow, you will begin your journey to the Raksa Sea." Hepaused and looked around. The sudden break made everyone wonder why Chad had stopped. Thecrowd re-summoned their wandering attention and listened with bated breath. Chad smiled andcontinued, "Therefore, before you go, I'd like to offer you some advice. I hope you will listen andlearn."

"Yes, sir!" all the men responded collectively.

"The journey to the Raksa Sea is not only for my Primitive Stones but also for your development.As far as I know, the Raksa Sea is an ancient relic. Countless treasures have been unearthed there.An able man will return with many powerful weapons and rare books! But, of course, opportunityand challenge go hand-in-hand. You must be careful in this dangerous area. I sincerely hope thateveryone here will return safely. Otherwise, how will I explain this to your relatives and friends?Although I always try to avoid talking endlessly, I have to emphasize this point again. Do rememberwhat I will say next. In the Raksa Sea, there will be competing superior talents, powerful demonicmonsters, and even malicious border mutants!

The border mutants come in a wide variety. They are born unrivaled. If you run into one, flee beforeit spots you, or it will be too late. Don't ever think about coming face-to-face with a border mutant.And finally, stick together while you are in the Raksa Sea. If I replace out that someone harbored malicetoward his fellow warrior, I will execute the man with bad intentions myself! Do you understand?"Chad ended his speech on a stern note.

"Yes; sin

Everyone responded with one voice again.

Darren nodded and thought that Chad was a man of integrity. He was expecting a long-windedspeech that was devoid of substance. However, to his surprise, the speech was quite concise andsincere. He formed a good opinion of Chad.

"Well, that's all. This is the end of the meeting. Now, everyone should head for the treasure cabinetand claim one handy weapon from my collection as a gift before your adventure,” Chad announced."As for Darren, you don't need to go to the treasure cabinet. You will follow me," ordered Chad ashe turned and left the hall.

Everyone else was so used to their master's preference for Darren that they ignored the partiality hehad shown. As they scattered like birds and animals, Darren followed Chad.

After about a quarter of an hour of walking, Chad stopped in front of a closed door. It was abackroom that was hidden underground. In it were several rare weapons and extraordinary armors.This was Chad's personal collection. The weapons in the treasure cabinet were nothing incomparison to the truly exceptional treasures in this backroom.

"Darren, don't worry. I am not playing favorites. I brought you here because your cultivation base isnot as strong as your fellows. So, pick something from here before you go. You will need it. If I wereyou, I'd choose something protective, like a shield, helmet, boots, or armor. Don't omit anything onyour list. Preparedness averts peril,” Chad said earnestly.

"Thank you very much, Uncle Chad. I won't miss anything on my list." Darren obeyed, as always.Darren glanced around. Although everything in the room was of a high-level and fancy to look at,they were unfit for his plan. Darren wondered if he could pick anything from the room.

When he was about to exit and apologize to Chad, Darren spotted several dim Primitive Stoneslying in the corner, covered in dust.

"Uncle Chad, why do you keep these Primitive Stones here? Aren't they important?” asked Darren.Sharp-eyed as he was, Darren had already detected the fierce and profound Heavenly RepressionRule contained in the unimposing Primitive Stones.

Darren wanted them eagerly, but he was afraid that his attitude would arouse suspicion. So, heasked bluntly as though he was just curious. His feigned sincerity worked!

"Well, those. They are useless crap. Why do you care?" Chad questioned Darren. Though it was riskyasking for them, Darren decided to make the request.

"Really? Can I have them?” Under his calm facade, Darren's heart beat faster as he waited for Chadto reply.

"What for? I just told you that they are useless."

"Oh, I like the color. Ghostly green has always fascinated me. Can I have them, just for fun?" Unsureof what to say, Darren floated quite a lame excuse. Chad could easily refuse him as petty pleasuresthwarted high aims.

But, Chad doted on Darren for some reason. "Fine, take them if they will please you. Don't wastetime on them, though. And do not fiddle with them. Don’t ever think about absorbing what's left inthe stones, or you will embrace an ugly death. Do you understand?”

"I won't, Uncle Chad. Thank you, Uncle Chad." Once the precious Primitive Stones were in his bag,Darren randomly picked a shield and a weapon and left.

The next morning at daybreak, several dozen superior talents, including Darren, headed for theRaksa Sea. Led by grand warriors, they reached the edge of an ancient altar.

"Raksa Sea, here I come!" an overly excited young lad hollered. Darren was also in a good mood. Ifthey entered the primitive sea successfully, he could replace more Primitive Stones. If he managed tocollect enough Primitive Stones, he would be able to achieve his goal of entering the WonderRealm.
