Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 133 The Holy Maiden Gave In (Part Two)

"A hundred thousand pounds of force.” Darren estimated the force in an attempt to quantify it. Hewas not surprised by the result at all. “If I try my best, I can easily crush the stone as well, * hethought.

Soon after, Kevin Ji and Rory Wei recovered from being caught off guard.

"You have exerted your Bloodline Force and ended up with only a hundred thousand pounds offorce. Jack, it seems that I may have overestimated you," Rory Wei walked out and said. Then hespoke louder, "Mr. Li, please replace the Force Testing Stone with a new one. I would also like tohave a try!"

Colin asked somebody to fulfill his request. Soon after, a harder Force Testing Stone was moved tothe square.

"This is how it's supposed to be done!" Rory Wei said.

Then he went closer to the stone, with a great deal of ancient force bursting out of his body."Divine Ape Arm!" Rory Wei shouted.

Suddenly, his arm bloated up and transformed into a giant arm which resembled that of an ape. Hehit the stone hard with his palm.

Bang!

With a big thud, his handprint dug deep into the stone's surface, even if the new stone was of toplevel and should be able to bear five hundred thousand pounds of force!

"One hundred and thirty thousand pounds of force. The force of your Divine Ape Bloodline is greatindeed," Jack stated calmly. He continued, "However, if I am not wrong, you just exerted four fifthsof your bloodline force in that strike. In other words, it couldn't get much better than what youshowed us just now even if you exert all your force. Considering that, your strength will no longerhave the ability to surprise me. Go back home! You have no chances of winning today!"

“Oops! I made a mistake!" Hearing Jack's words, both Kevin Ji and Rory Wei had the same thought.They realized that the purpose of Jack's suggestion to do this force test was to know about thelevels of their strengths before the real contest began. He now had a general idea of Rory Wei'sstrength, just by observing his performance in the force test.

Darren also realized that fact.

“Although Jack has exerted his bloodline force, nobody could tell how much force he has left. It ispretty obvious that he must be much stronger than what he showed in the force test if he'sconfident in winning the contest, * he thought. “These geniuses can exert at least more than ahundred thousand pounds of force, which exceeds most cultivators at the ninth stage of theMysterious Realm. If they combine their bloodline force with their martial arts skills, they will evenbe much stronger and would definitely be challenging opponents.

Meanwhile, Darren secretly observed the three geniuses—Kevin Ji, Rory Wei and Jack—with hisspiritual sense. He discovered that they were merely at the seventh stage of the Mysterious Realm.But their force already exceeded cultivators at the higher stages. It was because their bloodline forcecontributed to their strength significantly. And they hadn't shown them the full potential of theirbloodline force yet!

Soon after, it was Kevin Ji's turn. Now he learned that he must not show his full force. He used onlyeighty thousand pounds of force to hit the Force Testing Stone just to get it over with.

“Kevin Ji didn't show us the power of his bloodline force. But why do I have this feeling that he is thestrongest one among them?' Darren thought. He suddenly had this strange feeling.

Seeing these geniuses show off their strengths, Colin was gradually getting more hopeless. And sowas Belle.

"There is no need to push through with the contest today," she said suddenly.

Her voice sounded clear and calm to everyone.

"What?"

Upon hearing those words, everyone focused their eyes on Belle, the Holy Maiden.

"I now choose to marry someone from the Yu Ancient Family. Just please give us the magic springwater," she continued. Belle was miserable but she had no other choice. It was meaningless to go onwith the test because she knew none of the Holy Land disciples could exceed the geniuses from theAncient Families at all. Even the boy with the strange mask who had brought her great surpriseswould not be able to win.

She would rather save them all the trouble and just pick a clan to marry into, instead of wastingeveryone's time and getting the same result with the risk of injuring her people.

She didn't want them to struggle for an inevitable result. Belle finally gave in and sacrificed herself."Belle, are you being serious?" Suddenly came a voice.

It was Holy Lord Diana, who abruptly appeared beside Belle. She arrived so quickly that nobody sawwhich direction she came from.

"Holy Lord, thank you for your effort in trying to help me. I'm truly grateful. But I don't want towaste any more time. I want to save my master as soon as possible. I'm sorry if I let you down," Bellereplied with tears. She didn't have any other choice.

The contest was nothing more than a bet. If the Holy Land could win, she wouldn't need to forceherself to marry anybody. Moreover, the three Ancient Families would present the magic springwater she needed to save her master. However, they all knew that the Holy Land was doomed tofail. It was never a fair bet to begin with,

"Ha-ha. Great. We will return to do some preparations very soon. We would be here tomorrow tofetch the bride," the chief of the Yu Ancient Family said. He grinned from ear to ear. He was gladthat Belle finally made her choice after such a long time.

"You seriously want to get married without my permission?"

Just then, Darren, the boy with a mask, turned around and asked suddenly. His sullen voice could beheard clearly by everyone on the square.
