Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 125 Details Of The Test

"Ha-ha.” Colin waved his sleeve and walked over. "Richard, this little girl's remarkable talent isenough for her to be an inner disciple,” he said.

Elsa didn't agree at first. She gave Darren a look, waiting for his opinion.

"Say yes, Elsa.” Considering the complex relationships among the different forces in the Holy Land,Darren thought becoming an inner disciple would be beneficial to both Elsa and him.

Moreover, being a core disciple in the Holy Land would give Elsa access to various resources anddirections from martial skill masters, which was what every martial skill cultivator wished for. Ofcourse Elsa had the willingness to accept it, but it was all up to Darren.

"What about you?" Elsa asked.

"I have to see one thing done first,” he answered.

Elsa knew clearly he was talking about his younger sister.

"Well, then.” Elsa nodded to Darren, turned around and said, “I am willing to be an inner disciple ofthe Lotus Holy Land."

"Good, we now have a new talented maiden with a promising future, ha-ha!" Colin said, happinessrose from the bottom of his heart.

"Wow, I have a new beautiful sister,” Cathy said as she walked to Elsa. "Welcome! We are happy tobe with you as an inner disciple of the Lotus Holy Land. I can play with you in future, I am definitelylooking forward to that,” she said with a nifty smile.

"No problem, you are also very beautiful," Elsa responded to Cathy.

"Well, could you now tell us how you went through the last two rounds of the test, Darren?" Colinreminded.

"Yes, tell us the details of the last two rounds of the test,"

all the ordinary disciples reiterated with excitement.

"The second round of the test was about physical strength and willpower,” Darren blurted out."How did it test your physical strength and willpower?" Outer Elder questioned closely.

"Ha ha." Darren stood upright with his arms crossed on his back. "The round was divided into threeparts: you get burnt by roaring flames, get frozen by ice, and get struck by purple thunderbolt. Eachstep could cause great suffering to the body," Darren said slowly.

"You are kidding me. Well, you did say it was quite dangerous, didn't you? I think with immensestrength and good physical body, one can withstand what you just described easily."

"Yes, then why did so many talents fail to go through this test? I don't believe it."

There were many disciples with strong physical strength in the Holy Land, they should have beenable to pass the test. Darren's words confused the other people.

"The roaring flames, ice, and purple thunderbolt were adjusted according to the participantsphysical strength. The stronger you are, the more powerful they become. The fierce strike will causea man half-dead regardless of his physical strength. Only men with extraordinarily powerfulwillpower and strong body restoring capabilities could have a glimmer of hope in surviving.However, even if a man could survive this round of the test, survival in the next round is surelyimpossible.”

The place was abuzz with constant rambling immediately after Darren's words.

"So that's why. No wonder no one passed the test all these years.”

"No! How did you manage to come out unharmed if everything was that difficult?” one discipleasked in disbelief.

Colin was also wondering about this. Darren was totally unharmed despite his horrifying narrationsabout the trials.

How did Darren manage to survive the last round of the test?

Upon entering the second round, Darren found that all the three rounds were some kind ofattacking arrays left by rule cultivators.

He used his Spirit Power and saw clearly the rule silk threads that composed the three arrays in hiseyes.

Darren's Spirit Power was absolutely not powerful enough to control the three rules. But he was ableto destroy some of the rule silk threads with ease. Unlike other rule cultivators, Darren couldconnect with his Omnipotent Talent Skill to see those silk threads of rule with his own eyes.Without some effort, Darren destroyed the rule silk threads that could amplify the power of thethree arrays respectively. Then, he improved his physical strength by temporarily transforming into ademon and dashed out as quick as possible. With those, he was able to complete the challenge.But it wasn't something Darren could just reveal to the other people

"Of course I have gone through the second round since I can tell you about it now. As for how I didit.." Darren paused.

Colin knew Darren was unwilling to tell them his secrets. "It doesn't matter. Everyone has their ownspecial skills that should be kept unknown to other people. You don't have to talk about it. Just tellus how you got through the third round of the test,” Colin said.

"If it was me, I'm sure I wouldn't make it through the third round,” Colin added.

His words aroused the other disciples’ interests again. They were disappointed that Darren didn'ttell them the specific process of going through the second round. They wanted to know badly."What kind of test would it be, that even Mr. Li would be unable to complete?”

"In the third round of the test, a bronze mirror was placed inside. It could clone ten participants whowere exactly the same with the real participant,”

Darren said in a flat voice. That mirror was similar to the big bell Darren had encountered in theStarry Tower. The difference was that the clones made by the mirror were not as perfect as thosemade by the big bell.

"Not bad." Colin nodded. "The bronze mirror in the third round is a treasure that has been inheritedfrom the ancient times. It could clone up to ten participants in front of a warrior below the supremestage of the Wonder Realm.

As I said, I wouldn't be able to pass the third round of the test. How could someone possibly defeatten clones of themselves all at the same time?" Colin said.

So how in the world did Darren get through it?

"Darren defeated his ten clones?"

"It is too overwhelming, too astounding.”

Darren ignored the surprised disciples and continued, "The bronze mirror is a treasure, that's true.But it could only duplicate participants’ cultivation level and martial skills and improve their strengthby approximately three times. It would by no means duplicate the hidden powers of theparticipants. Do you understand what I'm saying, sir?"

What he meant was that each Darren duplicated by the bronze mirror was at the first stage of theMysterious Realm and possessed Darren's blade and sword martial skills. Moreover, each and everyone of Darren's duplicates was three times stronger than Darren in the Mysterious Realm.

But Darren could beat masters at the supreme stage of the Mysterious Realm with his hiddenmeans. Ten of his duplicates at the first stage of the Mysterious Realm shouldn't be any trouble forhim even if their fighting capacity was three times stronger.

It was as difficult as climbing up to heaven to challenge an opponent nine stages higher. This kindof talent had never been seen in the Lotus Holy Land before.

"If my estimation is right, your real strength level must be at least five or six stages higher than thefirst stage of the Mysterious Realm in order to defeat all ten clones,” Colin analyzed

"More or less," Darren wanted to say no more words.

"Genius, you are really a genius, Darren,” Colin praised. "Your potential is on par with the disciples ofthe Ancient Families.”

"The Ancient Families?" Darren got a little surprised when Collin compared him to the disciples ofthe Ancient Families. They seemed to be extraordinary judging from Colin's tone.

"Correct, talented disciples of the Ancient Families usually can challenge someone whose cultivationlevel is higher, which is unreachable for some talented disciples of our Holy Land,” Colin said with asigh. "If you were at the fifth stage of the Mysterious Realm, you should consider taking part in thegroom-recruiting competition to be held on the day after tomorrow to help the Lotus Holy Landout. Pity, such a pity,” Colin continued.

"Let's get straight to the point. Would you like to be a supreme disciple of the Lotus Holy Land,Darren?" Colin asked with conviction.

"Supreme disciple, my goodness! It's so enviable.”

"I am wondering what his treatment will be as the first supreme disciple of the Lotus Holy Land.”All of the other disciples cast admiring glances at Darren

But to everyone's surprise, he rejected Colin's proposal.

"Hum? Darren, are you stupid? Why did you reject his offer?” Outer Elder blurted out, even he wasanxious for Darren.

"I plan to take part in the groom-recruiting competition of the Holy Maiden. I heard only outerdisciples could qualify for it. Do you mind elaborating on that?" Darren replied.

Hearing Darren's words, Colin frowned as it was the first time that he felt disappointed with Darren'sbehavior.
