Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 309 Darren Tested His Own Strength (Part One)

"Darren, you can't defeat him. I had fought with him, and both of us were badly injured. He hasreached the Grand Realm. Even if you have some secret weapons, I'm afraid that you won't stand achance in defeating him," the Grand Blood Refiner said glumly as he dodged the old man's powerfulattack. He felt defeated because both of them were no match to the old man despite any hiddenskills or weapons they used. When Grand Blood Refiner arrived here, he sensed that Darren's darkgold internal force was indeed flowing with power.

However, despite the great power he was sensing from the dark gold internal force, he was worriedthat Darren's cultivation base was not high enough to compete with a grand warrior. Needless tosay that it wouldn't make any difference if his cultivation base was still low.

Even though the grand warrior was badly hurt and was unable to use his real strength, Darren stillcouldn't defeat him within his capabilities. He would still end up in an overwhelming defeat."Ha-ha." Darren let out a humorous laughter. Darren walked towards Grand Blood Refiner. His eyeswere beaming with confidence when he replied, "Sir, there is no need to worry. Even if I can't defeathim, he can't inflict a damage to me either.”

"Humph. You are nothing but a loser.” The old man gave out a loud snort, his lips twitched from theobvious mockery. He then swiftly lunged at Darren once again.

"Fine. You should earn some experience too. If you can't defeat him, I will help you with it!" GrandBlood Refiner replied exasperatedly. He set aside his uncertainty and let Darren take over the fight.He didn't insist on this point anymore and chose to believe Darren.

"Ice sword intent!" Darren let out a loud roar. In a split second, an enormous sword intent wasblown towards the old man. It sent out a chilly powerful blow that left the old man wide-eyed.Darren's current sword intent and ice intent had improved to a new level. His attack had becomemore powerful than when he used the Blood Dragon Phantom prior to reaching the Wonder Realm.Boom! Boom! Boom!

The old man was startled when he felt the fierce and cold sword intent. The old man could notfathom that kind of power, especially coming from someone like Darren. It was simply beyond theold man's imagination. Despite witnessing it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that such strongpower came from a guy who only reached the Wonder Realm.

However, despite the great power Darren released with his ice sword intent, it still couldn't inflict adamage to the grand warrior. Darren couldn't care less about it though, as his attack was more of atrial to test his ice sword intent.

When Darren realized that the ice sword intent did not have any effect to the old man, heimmediately used his flame blade intent. It sent out a blazing powerful blow, a complete contrast tothe earlier attack. Unfortunately, it turned out that these two skills had nearly the same effect on thegrand warrior.

After the attack, Darren knew how powerful these two skills would be. All of his attacks werecalculated and intended to measure his capabilities. If he used one of the two skills, he wouldbasically be able to kill a master at the top level of the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm.

In order to get more detailed information about his power, he kept on fighting with that old man totest his limits. He was exploring his skills by fighting the old man. Although Darren didn't gain theupper hand in the battle, he didn't get hurt either.

"Fighting Stars!" The old man directly used his domain.

"Humph. Shame on you, old man. I can't believe that you actually used your domain skill to attack ayoung man!" Grand Blood Refiner gave out a loud snort, his facial expression turning into completedisdain. He looked at the old man disapprovingly. Inmediately, he used his domain to counter backthe old man's Starry Domain. He turned to Darren and said, "You go ahead. His domain can't hurtyou right now."

Upon watching them fight, Grand Blood Refiner figured that with Darren's current strength, hemight stand a chance of defeating the old man. So he used his domain to help Darren to fight backusing his real strength.

"That's great. I can practice my skill by the way." Darren nodded in agreement and accepted hisoffer. He knew that when the old man released his domain, he would be doomed to lose. SinceGrand Blood Refiner offered to help him out, Darren felt a huge surge of relief. He knew that unlessthe grand warrior's domain was far more powerful than the Grand Blood Refiner's, there was no waythe old man could hurt him.

"It is time for you to use your blade and sword skills. Otherwise, you are doomed to fail!" the oldman roared in a taunting manner. He instantly used his legendary martial skill and generatedintense pressure to disturb Darren.

"Not necessary yet!" Darren retorted. He then countered the old man’s attack with his own strength."Augmented Attack Bloodline!"

A hint of green blood started to flow inside his body and a strange power passed through Darren'smeridians.

"Ice sword intent!" When Darren combined his bloodline force and the ice sword intent, his icesword intent's power increased ten-fold. It became much more powerful than it used to be.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, the entire barren island shook so violently that it produced such a loud disturbing sound.Howling wind started to pick up and numerous dust and dirt floated in the sky. In the blink of aneye, the whole world had turned dark and gloomy.

"Go to hell!" Darren cried. He released his attack and the powerful blow came rushing to the oldman,

To Darren's surprise, the old man didn't dodge Darren's attack and stayed rooted to his place.Instead, he slapped towards Darren with all his force.

A sharp crack was heard coming from Darren's body.

Several of Darren's breastbones were broken and he was thrown away by the old man's intensepower. He clutched his chest painfully.
