Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 963 My Lord

Although the Profound Nine Sword Skills was not very powerful, Darren, who had extraordinarytalent in swordsmanship, would be able to maximize its power.

In an instant, Darren comprehended it.

“Time to experiment, * he thought.

After cultivating for a short time, Darren's spiritual sense could cover an area of thirty feet. Hereleased his spiritual sense and probed for an ancient beast.

He chose a creature that looked like a rat, but it was as big as a cow.

As soon as the creature sensed Darren approaching, it bared its lips and revealed two dangerousfangs. It thought it could have a good meal by eating Darren.

In the next moment, Darren brandished his palm like he would a sword, and several lights flashedquickly.

"Ah!"

The rat's head fell to the ground.

"This is so awesome!" Darren smiled as he activated the assimilating power.

Since the creature's talent was not impressive, it was useless to absorb it. But Darren's greatestadvantage was that he could assimilate the ancient spiritual energy in a creature's cardiac core andimprove his realm!

"It's a pity that I can't absorb the ancient spiritual energy from the environment. Otherwise, I couldreach the peak of a grand warrior in a month,” Darren murmured.

Unfortunately for Darren, inexplicable ancient rules blocked his assimilating power, and he couldn'tabsorb ancient spiritual energy directly from the air.

The ancient spiritual energy entered Darren's body, transformed his meridians, and then turned intoa source of power.

"I've advanced. Although I don't know what the level system is in this era, My power should be asstrong as a warrior at the Mysterious Realm now." Darren was satisfied with the result.

If all the hundreds of beasts were all assimilated, Darren thought that he would be able to advanceto a one-star grand warrior. With his understanding of the sword formula, it would be a piece ofcake for him to kill a man who was comparable to a five-star or six-star grand warrior.

But, he wasn't that lucky. Just when Darren killed three beasts, several ancient humans rushed intothe cave.

As these ancient humans were not tied up like those beasts, Darren couldn't fight them.

After a brief search, those ancient humans escorted Darren and Hailey away.

It was a bright night—stars dotted the sky and moonlight sprinkled the earth.

A bonfire raged in the distance, and it appeared as though the men and women in the village weresinging and dancing around the fire.

Darren and Hailey were carried to the fire.

"Damn it! They are going to roast us!" Darren was speechless for a while, but he was not afraid.Hailey, however, was terrified. Her face turned pale, and her eyes widened with horror at thethought.

"Darren, what should we do? We are going to be roasted,” asked Hailey as terror coursed throughher.

"They can't hurt us. Don't you remember that I have the True Fire Spiritual Body? Although I can'trelease the godly fires, the flame crystal in my body still exists. So, the fire can't hurt me.

Besides, once I refine this ordinary fire, I can release the flame intent to protect you. That way, youwon't be in danger either. Don't worry,” Darren reassured her.

"Well, thank you, Darren.” Hailey nodded as relief coursed through her. She felt safe with Darrenaround.

After a while, Darren and Hailey were tied to a log of wood and placed on the fire.

At that moment, Darren immediately activated the assimilating power. He assimilated a little firespiritual energy and sent it to the flame crystal.

In just a few seconds, Darren's flame crystal awakened, and it emitted wisps of flame intent.Darren seized this opportunity to direct the faint flame intent in his body to surround Hailey,protecting her from being burned.

"W000, Wooo, Wooo..." sang the villagers.

Even though they were on fire for a while, Darren and Hailey remained unharmed. The ancienthumans were curious about this result.

"Wahlah, Wahlah..."

Another hour passed, and Darren and Hailey were still safe. So, the ancient humans knelt andkowtowed continually, as they thought Darren and Hailey were gods.

Even after these humans released Darren and Hailey, they kept kowtowing.

"Get up, all of you," Darren said before realizing that the ancient humans couldn't understand him.Then, Darren walked toward an ancient human and placed his palm on his head. His spiritual senseprobed the ancient human's mind.

As long as Darren found language information in the ancient human's brain, he could learn it in theblink of an eye.

After searching for a while, information about their language rushed into Darren's mind, and heheard a surprising sound.

"My Lord, please forgive me. I'm so sorry."

Darren smiled. He had mastered the language of ancient humans.

"Get up, all of you," Darren said calmly. The ancient humans glanced at each other in surprise andstopped kowtowing.

An old man dressed in beast fur walked forward and knelt in front of Darren. "My Lord, I am thepatriarch of the Mo Clan. I offended you earlier. Please don't punish us."

"I have something to ask you. As long as you answer honestly, I will not hurt you,” Darren said."My Lord, we will answer any question you ask.” The patriarch kowtowed as he spoke.

"Is there any other powerful tribe besides your village?" Darren questioned

"Yes, my Lord. Three thousand kilometers to the east of our village, there is a tribe called the DarkTribe. It is the most powerful tribe on the island. It is said that they can hunt the apes. It's veryterrifying,” the patriarch answered honestly.

Darren was startled. He wondered if the apes the patriarch spoke about were the roaring apes fromthe coast. If that were the case, it would mean that the Dark Tribe was indeed very powerful.

Even when he had his full power, Darren was unable to stand the apes’ roars. But the Dark Tribecould kill them. That was unbelievable!

"Okay, I understand. You can stand now. Arrange a place for us to live and bring us some food. Thebeasts in that cave looked delicious. Have one roasted and sent to me,” Darren ordered.

Darren had made up his mind to join the Dark Tribe. Both Darren and Hailey had received themessage to join a tribe at the start of the test.

Soon, the people in the village arranged a hut for Darren. Inside was a simple stone bed on whichthey had laid a fresh beast hide. A short while later, they delivered well-cooked beast meat just asDarren had ordered.

As Darren and Hailey hadn't recovered their strength yet, they would feel hungry if they didn't eatanything. When the delicious roasted meat was sent to them, Darren didn't wait to start eating"Eat more. Eat more." Darren wiped his mouth and urged Hailey to eat more when he saw that shewas eating slowly.

"Okay." Hailey nodded and continued to eat slowly.

"Wooo, Wooo, Wooo..."

Just as they were enjoying the food, a strange scream came from outside.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Help! My Lord, help!”

A moment later, a deafening sound reached Darren's ears.

Darren frowned, put down the meat in his hand, and walked out.

As soon as he stepped through the door, an ancient human with blood on his face fell at his feet."My Lord, the devil is coming! Please save us!"

"Let me take a look."

"Thank you, My Lord. Thank you so much.”

Darren followed the man to the periphery of the village. He was shocked when he saw what haddisturbed the ancient humans. Then, he ran back.
