Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 909 Discovering A Human

Darren was delighted to learn so much from the dragon ancestor. It was rewarding to receive suchtreasures after his trip.

"If I condense a Sword God Character, what would happen?" Darren asked.

"You fool! Once you condense a Sword God Character, there is a chance that you can break throughto the God Realm through Sword Cultivation. Your sword intent could cause irreparable damage toall living creatures!”

"Really?" Darren asked in disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you? But don't get too excited about that. It only means that you are qualified tobreak through to the God Realm through Sword Cultivation. You still need the help of eight kinds ofrules and powerful sword skills to break through.

But once you manage to break through to the God Realm through Sword Cultivation, you'll becomea deadly threat to the other rule cultivators at your level," the dragon ancestor said.

Darren was puzzled after hearing that. "What did you mean by me being a threat to other rulecultivators? What about martial artists?"

What he heard was far from what he had expected.

"Silly boy," the dragon ancestor chuckled. "As I just said, it can cause irreparable damage to anyliving creature. Can't you get that in your head?" The dragon ancestor frowned, obviously irritatedby Darren's slow comprehension.

"I don't understand!" Darren exclaimed hurriedly.

"How stupid you are! Let me break it down for you. Generally speaking, a rule cultivator must havealready mastered how to heal himself. For example, a rule emperor might master the Life True Rule.Then, his restoring abilities will be even stronger than that of an Eternal Body."

The dragon ancestor went on, "That's why a rule emperor who has mastered this kind of true rule ispractically invincible. However, this type of emperor has an opponent that equals him in power: thewarriors who have broken through to the God Realm through martial arts. The damage caused bytheir attacks can't be healed quickly by any rules, medicines, or even immortal power.

That means, if you manage to break through to the God Realm through Sword Cultivation, all thatthey've learned to heal themselves will not work if it's you who attacks them. Now tell me, is thatnot deadly to those rule cultivators?"

After several explanations, Darren finally understood.

"You could have worded it much more simply..." Darren muttered, scratching his head.

"Bah! If I did not detail it completely, you would not have understood anyways!" the dragonancestor said,

"You could have just said that those who break through to the God Realm using Sword Cultivationcan cause rule cultivators injuries that they cannot heal from! You're overcomplicating things!"Darren retorted.

"What?"

the dragon ancestor was speechless. Darren's explanation was indeed much easier to understand."It's okay, I know my version is better.” Darren smiled. "By the way, you mentioned that I wouldneed the help of eight kinds of rules to break through. What did you mean by that?"

"I don't want to talk to you." The dragon ancestor let out a small huff.

"What? Do you want me to assimilate you?" Darren threatened.

"Ha! Don't try to fool me. You are still far from breaking through to the God Realm. I'll tell you whenyou're ready. Even if you force me right now, I still won't tell you,” the dragon ancestor said gruffly.Darren thought for a moment. He bowed his head. "Well then, please tell me when I'm ready.”

"Oh, there. I was beginning to think you had no manners.” The dragon ancestor softened withDarren's politeness. "You should practice your sword skills for now. I need to rest. I am still veryweak."

With that, the dragon ancestor went silent.

During the next few days, Darren kept on comprehending his blade intent.

Darren tried his best to make sure that both his sword and blade intents were powerful so that hewould be able to use them to his highest potential.

However, even though he had already spent a few days comprehending his blade intent, he still hadzero success.

"It seems that my comprehension of my sword intent relies on my good luck.”

Darren shook his head, realizing that he was not that gifted as he thought he was.

'l wonder how strong I would be if I only use the sword intent..." he thought to himself.

"Hey, Darren!"

The dragon ancestor's voice interrupted Darren's thoughts.

"Weren't you sleeping? You startled me!" Darren muttered.

"I suddenly remembered something.”

"What is it?"

"If you want to increase your chances of breaking through to the God Realm using SwordCultivation, you need to stop focusing on your other abilities. Use only your sword and practice howto be an expert swordsman. Is that understood?"

"Okay..." Darren replied.

"Bah! Is that all I get? I rouse myself from a very important nap to tell you something that will helpyou and all I get is a measly “okay'?" the dragon ancestor snorted.

"Oh! Thank you! You have my deepest gratitude,” Darren said sheepishly.

"That's more like it." Satisfied, the dragon ancestor went back to his sleep.

Darren went out of the underground cave.

"Chaz, has the bird returned?” Darren asked.

"No, I have been keeping watch over the cave. It might have given up long ago.”

"That's good. Let's walk around. Maybe we can replace the way to the eighteen cities.”

They needed to get to the eighteen cities as soon as possible.

"I saw a fierce battle underway yesterday. Maybe I can search for some clues,” Chaz said.

"Okay, let's go and take a look.”

The two men leapt into the sky and flew away.

After flying for a while, they suddenly smelled blood. Just a few meters below them was a valley, andthey decided to move closer to investigate.

"Here, right?" Darren and Chaz landed on the ground.

"Yes, I thought I had heard a human's cry. But I was afraid that the bird hadn't left, so I didn't darelook into it," Chaz said.

"Let's move further down.”

The two slowly went deeper into the valley.

Soon, they came across the corpse of a human young man. The body was nestled among theweeds.

"There's someone here!"

Darren and Chaz moved deeper into the valley, this time with more urgency.

Suddenly, a roar rang out and shook the whole valley.

Chaz let out a small gasp.

Darren looked up and ran towards the sound.

A colorful beast suddenly appeared before him.

More than a dozen corpses lay around the beast. When Darren saw it, it was attacking anotheryoung man.

"Go to hell, you beast!"

Darren rushed over, hurling his sword intent at the monster.

"Aaaargh!”

The beast felt Darren's sword intent and attempted to run away, but it was too slow.

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop!

Darren's sword bit into the beast. A moment later, the beast lay in a pool of its own blood.

The young man was dumbfounded to see such a powerful sword intent.

"Thank you for saving me!" The young man bowed in front of Darren.

Darren was about to speak when he sensed the auras of a dozen men.

"Sweet! A treasure beast!" "This is our lucky day!"

The men rushed towards the beast's corpse.

Darren looked over at the beast and saw that it had dropped a bone. The bone glowed with an eeriepurple light, and it seemed to beckon Darren to pick it up.
