Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 514 Reunion (Part Two)

Darren could not help but feel worry etching its way into his heart. The purple mutant was a forcefulenemy—he already knew that much. Still hurrying along, Darren began to wonder how mighty theking who the black mutant had mentioned would be. According to their discussion, their king waseven able to defeat the lord of the Grand Void Manor in the Talent City.

In reality, the lord of the Grand Void Manor was just a haunted soul. Like a ghost, it evaporated intonothingness when Darren became the new master of the Ancient Void Battlefield. However, Darrenwas the only one privy to this fact.

Darren estimated that the lord of the Grand Void Manor must have been a warrior at the level of aseven-star grand warrior. Still, he was probably weaker than the Shadow Emperor, as the ShadowEmperor existed in the small world created by a holy emperor, which would add to his strength.Lost in his musings, Darren was flying towards the edge of the area. With the information he hadoverheard, his mind was racing a mile a minute. Nevertheless, he decided to calm his mind for thetime being, as leaving in secret was his priority at that point in time. After all, it would be wise toavoid fighting with the border mutants at the present moment.

Darren kept flying in the same direction, and it didn't take him long to finally leave the land that wascontrolled by the mutants.

"What the hell is that?"

Suddenly, Darren felt a strange and terrifying aura that was approaching him. The air around himdropped in temperature. Without much warning, it was suddenly as cold as if he had fallen straightinto a freezing cellar made of ice. The cold was so heavy and pressing that it made Darren shudder.“Damn it! Is it the purple mutant?

Darren's heart missed a beat or two the second that thought entered his mind. He hurriedly ralliedhis force to hide his own aura and came to a halt. Quietly, with a racing heart, he remained in thesame spot and just observed his surroundings.

After a few seconds, Darren felt a hand land on his shoulder and give it a little pat.

Immediately, Darren's pulse quickened and it felt like his heart jumped straight into his throat. Hehad not anticipated something like this. The thing that made him even more nervous was the factthat he didn't sense anybody approaching him. All he could feel was the strange aura in the air. Butthis person had snuck up on him and even patted his shoulder without him noticing any of it! Nomatter who this person was, his ability was already far beyond Darren's expectations.

"Who are you?" shouted Darren, trying to get a sense of control back.

Without waiting another second he moved his arms and launched a blade strike and a sword strikeseparately, using both of his hands for each action.

Though Darren's attacking force was horrifying, it disappeared quietly like a drop of water drippinginto the ocean. And then it was as if it had never existed at all.

"Hush, dude.”

Darren heard a familiar, soft voice speaking at this critical moment. With hope blooming in his heart,he quickly turned around to check who it was. The moment he saw the familiar face his whole bodyrelaxed.

Standing in front of him was a young man in a white robe. To his surprise, the young man's face,which was usually rather cold and stern on most days, was bearing a smile.

"Scott! It's you!"

Darren felt so surprised and elated that his heart skipped another beat, but this time not out of fearand dread but rather out of joy and a sense of peace. He was two seconds away fromsummersaulting around due to the sheer ecstasy he felt.

"Darren, long time no see!” Scott grinned at Darren, eyes sparkling in faint amusement.

"You almost scared me to death, dude!" Darren reached out and patted Scott's shoulder in return.Out of curiosity, he asked, "I sensed nothing when you came close to me, Scott. How did youbecome so strong?"

"This is not the appropriate place to talk about this whole thing. Let's leave.” Scott gave Darren asharp nod and signaled the latter to follow him.

Together, they continued to fly away. A long time passed before they reached a forlorn mountain.Once there, they found a spot to rest and pause their journey. They had also found a proper placeto discuss some important matters

"How are you doing these days, Darren?" asked Scott first, his voice sounding genuinely curious."Not bad, though I have indeed undergone many trials. Why are you on the Western Desert Islandas well? Did you come here for the Shaoyan guys' rescue?" asked Darren in return. The answer tothat question seemed a lot more interesting than what he had been up to lately, at least to him."Yes. I had been practicing and just as I was finished and ready to call it a day, I received the newsthat a slaughter would happen on the Western Desert Island. So I set out to come here and seewhat was happening for myself. I could sense your aura a short time after landing on this island.”"That's great. You improved your strength so fast, Scott! How strong are you now?" Darren felthappy for Scott. It wasn't just an act or empty words; he genuinely felt joyful for his friend from thebottom of his heart.

"Maybe the top three-star level. But I have to figure out the specific level and strength after aproper fight.

I have observed the environment of the island for a couple of days now. I think there must be astrong warrior among the border mutants. But I don't think I'm currently the warrior's opponent.That is, I don't think I could stand a chance if we were to battle each other right now. So I haven'ttaken any rush actions yet," revealed Scott.

"You're right, Scott. There is a mutant in the hall whose ability is equal to a five-star grand warrior,”explained Darren to his friend. He was glad that he had the foresight to observe everything and notsimply charge in there without a plan.

"Five-star? No wonder the mutant's aura is so fierce. Tell me everything you know about this place,Darren.”

Scott had actually spotted Darren right before the latter had entered the central hall. But Darren hadsuddenly disappeared completely, right when he was about to inform him of the current situation.After that, there was no way for Scott to detect Darren's whereabouts. Hoping for a reappearance,he had simply sat back and waited for Darren and his aura to appear. When he was finally able tosense it again, he made his presence known.

That was how he found himself in that moment, with Darren telling Scott everything he knew aboutthat place. As they weren't in any immediate danger, he took his time and explained everything,sparing no details. Subsequently, he told his friend about some of the things that had happened tohim.

Their talk wasn't one-sided, though. Scott made sure to tell Darren everything about him and hismost recent experiences as well. The things he shared with Darren surprised and delighted the latterat the same time.
