Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 308 A Golden Hand

The two figures on the desolate island shrouded in purple mist stopped their violent fighting andlooked up at the black thunder in the sky.

"How terrifying." Jesse, the old man, stared at the sky and muttered to himself, "Even if my masterwas here, he wouldn't survive from this. Cultivating conflicting martial arts skills is against naturalrules.”

There was a sort of relief in his eyes as he gazed at the shocking scene.

"Alas. Even if my master hadn't died under a sneak attack, he still wouldn't have had a happyending. I've harbored a profound hatred for the attacker over the years, but what on earth did Ihate? Is it meaningful?" He lowered his head as he said these words in frustration, making him looka lot older than before.

Grand Blood Refiner stared at the terrifying scene. His expression was unreadable. 'l have beencultivating and hiding for so many years. I wasn't expecting that I'll die now. What a shame that Ihaven't taken revenge on my enemy, * he thought.

Besides Grand Blood Refiner and Jesse, all the creatures in the Raksa Sea felt the looming aura ofdeath. However, instead of being alarmed and going into a state of panic, they were calm and atpeace—almost welcoming towards their death.

There was a loud thunderous noise.

Flashes of black lightning tore the sky open, creating numerous rifts in the space above.

It was impossible for human beings to fight against such strong power.

Darren stood there quietly, waiting to be turned into ashes. There was no other choice.

Black lighting struck the ground, giving the impression of a mountain crumbling to the ground.Suddenly, something had started to happen.

Darren experienced an extreme pain in his head and nearly passed out, barely just blinking in andout of consciousness.

A golden hand had appeared out of nowhere and covered the entirety of the world.

It settled itself in front of the atrocious black lightning and slapped it towards the sky—farther, even.The scene was too far away from the ground thus all the people and other creatures below couldonly see it vaguely. It appeared that something in the sky was continuously collapsing and thenfinally vanished.

"It's the weird stone from inside my head!" Darren suddenly had a moment of epiphany. Thestrange stone did something and then the golden hand appeared in the sky to save everyone.

All the creatures in the Raksa Sea were shocked by the unbelievable scene. Even the golden monkeyin the deep sea stared open-mouthed and wide-eyed at the sky. He was impressed at whoever wasresponsible for that golden hand, thinking that whoever it was must have had a powerful cultivationbase.

Within a few moments, the sky became clear and the sun was shining once again. The blacklightning had disappeared and so had the golden hand. Everything was back to normal as if theyhadn't been threatened by a great atrocity just mere seconds ago.

Darren heard a looming voice in his mind, "My disciple, remember I'm only able to help you once.Make good use of your assimilation skill. Only by doing this can you overcome all the difficultiesyou meet. We will meet sooner or later.”

Darren froze at the words.

It was not an accident. He didn't just unexpectedly get that strange stone.

He had always thought it was luck that he got hit by the strange stone, nothing more than anincident. But now, he knew that someone had planned it. It was certainly a person whose cultivationbase was beyond imagination. He felt the aura of the golden hand and surely whoever that personwas, he was as powerful as the cultivator from the outer space who had a black sword and a whitesword as his eyes in the Starry Tower.

He was eager to know why he was given that strange stone.

And even more so, he was eager to know where his mother was after the Holy Lord Diana had toldhim that he and his sister had different birth mothers. Darren suspected that he was not born to theChu Clan.

So he decided that after he got out of the Raksa Sea, he would go back to his hometown and replaceout.

The crisis was solved, and so all the creatures in the Raksa Sea continued to live their peaceful lives.Darren checked his cultivation base and found that he had reached the Wonder Realm.

"Shit. My dark gold internal force is suppressed. Its color changed a bit."

A huge amount of dark gold internal force now existed in his body, but it was being suppressed byan unknown force.

"Is it possible that the owner of the golden hand is responsible for this? But why is he doing this?"After considering for a while, he finally thought of the reason. "I see. He suppressed the dark goldinternal force in case I trigger the Heavenly Repression again.”

With that in mind, he ran out of the Ancient Void Battlefield and flew to a quiet sea.

Attacks thundered down on the sea.

Darren released a dark gold internal force one after another, creating monstrous billowing waves.Although the power was weaker, it was still much more powerful than his blade intent and swordintent.

Aside from that, he had reached the Wonder Realm, therefore his cultivation base and speed weremuch better than before.

The most important thing was, when he used his dark gold internal force, no hint of the comingHeavenly Repression appeared. It made him wild with joy.

Without using the dark gold internal force, he could easily kill a powerful cultivator at the premiumstage of Wonder Realm; if he used it, he would be capable of killing a powerful cultivator at thesupreme stage of Wonder Realm. Even if the enemy was a grand warrior, he could still stand againstthem in a fight. However, if his enemy used his domain skill at the beginning of the fight, he couldpossibly be defeated.

He had reached the Wonder Realm in a short time and he could fight against a one-star grandwarrior—he was indeed a promising young man.

He also had an Augmented Attack Bloodline. With that, the power of his blade core and sword corewould be increased. As he reached a new stage of realm, his bloodline force would increase and hislevel of blade intent and sword intent would be upgraded. It meant that once his stage wasupgraded, his cultivation base would also reach a new level.

"I wonder if I can be qualified for the Sky Chart of the Talent Roll." He nearly lost his life, butfortunately he survived and his cultivation base was upgraded to a considerably terrifying level. Hiseyes were flashing in extreme satisfaction.

Darren's cultivation base was one of the most powerful in the southern land. Even the Holy Lordscouldn't defeat him. The enemies that Darren worried about were the grand warriors.

Darren knew that once he reached the Wonder Realm, the upgrading of his cultivation base wouldslow down, like he had experienced in the Ancient Void Battlefield.

He kept absorbing spiritual energy and assimilating magic herbs for tens of years in order to reachthe middle stage of Wonder Realm in the Ancient Void Battlefield.

"I shouldn't think about that right now. My cultivation base is enough to keep me safe as long as Idon't enter the dangerous places. It takes time to upgrade. I shouldn't hurry.”

He was content with his progress. After all, he hadn't reached the age of twenty yet.

Besides, he had thought up of a solution in upgrading his realm—he would upgrade his talent.Imagine what will happen if I have a talent of the Heaven Degree, or even level nine of the HeavenDegree? Won't my realm be upgraded quickly?"

He breathed out a sigh of relief. However, he still had questions about Mathew. He sorted out histhoughts then flew back towards the desolate island shrouded in purple mist.

He flew at top speed and

in a blink of the eye, he had reached the desolate island and landed on the ground.

The black lightning appeared and the golden hand quickly slapped it into the sky. The whole thingdidn't take much time. Grand Blood Refiner and Jesse were still standing there and hadn't gottenover their shock when a figure releasing unreadable aura suddenly appeared in front of them."Darren!" Grand Blood Refiner's eyes flashed in excitement and relief as soon as he saw Darren."Y-you didn't die! How... how was that possible?" Jesse was surprised and incredibly shocked to seeDarren. He couldn't believe the fact that he didn't die. "T-the golden hand came to save you, saveyou..." he continued to mutter.

He couldn't believe Darren had survived from the thunder and lightning that appeared because ofthe Heavenly Repression. After all, even if his master had been there, he would have died.

"Mr. Li, you wanted to kill me. I can let it go, but you must give me an explanation first,” Darrensolemnly said, glaring icy daggers at Jesse. With his upgraded cultivation base, he was not afraid ofJesse anymore—he was ready to confront him.

"Explanation? Do you think I will be afraid of you just because you went through all that difficultly?Why should I made an explanation to you?" Jesse was infuriated. He lifted his arm and tried to sendan attack towards Darren.

Grand Blood Refiner immediately stood in front of Darren, ready to fight Jesse. However, a whitehand pushed him away and an indifferent voice came from behind him. "You can have a rest, sir. Ican take care of him," Darren said.
