Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 131 Pre-competition Test (Part Two)

"What a fucking idiot. What the hell is he doing? How dare he pretend all high and mighty with thatmask on? I'll beat him to death later!"

Seeing Darren's appearance, the disciples from Ancient Families couldn't help but run their mouthsand laugh.

Darren didn't care, though. He ignored all their side comments and focused on the matter at hand.He stood quietly on one side, together with all the other disciples from the Holy Land. "I'll let youguys know who is an idiot later, * he thought, sneering internally.

At this moment, one of the three disciples, who stayed calm the whole time, stepped forward.Wearing a light blue robe, he looked handsome and gentle. "Hello, everyone. I'm Jack Yu. Since theHoly Maiden also came to see the competition, why don't we have a small pre-competition matchto entertain her?”

"What do you want to do, exactly?" Colin asked, doubting Jack Yu's intentions.

"Well," Jack Yu put another foot forward and continued, "It's very easy. We can just have a smallforce test. What do you think? I believe that the Holy Land has some magic treasure that can testthe force.”

After hearing Jack Yu's proposal, Darren released a touch of his spiritual sense and tried to probewhich stage and realm Jack Yu was at. To his great surprise, an overwhelming strength cut theconnection he was trying to forge with the said man. He wasn't able to replace out anything about him."He's not just a nobody, he thought as his eyes gave Jack Yu a once over.

Darren then observed the other two disciples who were as calm as Jack Yu and found them verystrong, too.

There was one thing Darren had to admit: Jack Yu was not only excellent in strength, but he wasalso good at ploys. He realized Jack Yu suggested the pre-competition match so he could measureall the others’ strength and come up with strategies before the actual competition took place. JackYu was so talented and cautious that Darren regarded him as a strong opponent.

“I'm in."

“I'm in, too."

The other two disciples who were as strong as Jack Yu also stepped forward to support it. Theyseemed to have the same idea.

Colin wasn't making any comment yet. He heard the request loud and clear, but he found himselflooking at Darren. He wanted to know what the young man was going to do.

"I'm in," Darren finally said, stepping forward as well.

"Pardon? Idiot! How can you be so silly? Who cares about whether you are in or not?"

Darren's action made the disciples from the three Ancient Families burst into laughter again. Theylaughed as though it was the funniest thing they had ever heard in their lives.

Even the disciples of the Holy Land who stood at the side of Darren felt extremely embarrassed andshameful. They didn’t understand what Darren was doing either. They were supposed to be here asbackground--people to fill in empty spaces. They could not get why Mr. Li would ask such a silly guyto be their team member. And where did that take them? To humiliation. The match hadn't evenstarted yet.

"That's enough! Be quiet! Those from the Ancient Families! Hasn't anyone in your families taughtyou how to be polite?” Colin barked at those disciples who were making a lot of noise. After they allshut up, Colin announced, "It's okay to have a force test beforehand. You can go lift the ForceTesting Stone to complete the force test here.

After the force test, it will be the hunting test and then finally the martial arts competition. Prepareyourselves," Colin said, casually informing all people of the competition procedures.

In the blink of an eye, a purple and dark stone was lifted to the square and placed in front of thecrowd. It glowed with so much power that some spectators had to cover their eyes. The mere sightof it was overwhelming.

"Hey, masked idiot! Why don't you go first?"

"Why are you so foulmouthed and ill-bred? What the hell is wrong with you? You're using yourmouth to show how talented and strong you are? If you can beat me, just do it. If you cannot, shutup! Clear?"

Darren bellowed, coming up to the other disciple and pointing his finger at him.

"Oh, wow! Shit, this is hilarious! How dare you challenge me, you idiot? Ha-ha, what a moron youare. Fine, I will try it first. Watch carefully. If my force is not ten times stronger than yours, then I'mthe idiot. Not that there's any chance you're stronger than me, though, so you'd better keep youreyes open!”

After uttering these words and spitting saliva everywhere, that disciple hit the Force Testing Stonehard using his palm

BOOM!

The Force Testing Stone trembled a bit as a one-inch deep palm print was left on the stone."Twenty thousand pounds of Force! He is only at the fifth stage of the Mysterious Realm, but he hasthe force equal to cultivators at the seventh stage of the Mysterious Realm. Whoa. Disciples of thethree Ancient Families are really talented,” said someone from the crowd. Disciples of the Holy Landwere shocked by the test result. They all knew that this disciple was supposed to be the weakest onein his team, yet he was already plenty strong compared to them.

"Hey, idiot! It's fucking your turn now, isn't it? Let's see what you've got, then!" the disciple mocked,squinting at Darren contemptuously.

CRACK!

One moment, Darren was standing there and staring at the disciple who was mocking him, then thenext, he was already in front of him and slapped hard on his face. Before anyone could react to hisaction, he swiftly moved to the stone and hit hard on it. He made sure that the disciple saw his handhitting the stone so there would be no doubt that it was him who did the damage.

BOOM!

The Force Testing Stone roared deafeningly as everyone's jaw dropped open.
