Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 144 Show Off (Part Two)

His companion nodded after giving it a thought. "You have a point. Looks like the rules arereasonable, after all." "They are,” Darren said. "If we only hunt high level prey to get more points, wemight lose in the end because we would have used so much time and energy just to get it done. Butif we only focus on dealing with low level prey, we might not be able to earn enough points to winas well. We have to replace some kind of balance." The rest of them finally understood how tricky therules were based on Darren's explanation.

"Ha-ha. Nice work, but what's the point of all this analyzing stuff? You're wasting time. Have youfound lots of level one demonic monsters? Nobody dares to answer, so I guess that's a no. Youhaven't found lots of level one demonic monsters, but I did,"

Jack interrupted, suddenly showing up in front of them with his head held high.

"Don't be so cocky. You don't have any companion. All you can do is kill several level one demonicmonsters, And you know what? We've already gotten more than 200 points. We'll win this huntingcompetition,” one of the disciples of Lotus Holy Land snapped.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Jack countered with a cold smile. He opened a bag and a pile of cardiac coresof different colors dropped to the ground.

"These are all demonic monster's cardiac cores I got,” he went on, showing off his work.Dumbfounded, the disciples of Lotus Holy Land stared at over fifty cardiac cores with wide eyes,unable to believe that Jack actually managed to collect so many.

Even Darren was taken aback.

'lt means he hunted over fifty level one demonic monsters within four hours. It looks like he is morepowerful than I imagined. But the question is, where did he replace so many demonic monsters?

These demonic monsters’ cardiac cores are very valuable. Each of them carries spiritual energy adozen times more powerful than a superior spiritual herb. No one can absorb spiritual energy fromthem but me. These cardiac cores’ only function is to be ingredients to refine pills, * he thought ashe checked each of the core with his eyes.

"Don't you feel ashamed of yourself? You even tried to fool us with these diabolic beasts’ cardiaccores,"

Darren said in a scornful manner, trying to hide his ulterior motives.

"Darren must have made a mistake. Based on the aura they give, these are definitely demonicmonsters’ cardiac cores.” "Perhaps Darren got it wrong. I'm sure they are demonic monsters’ cardiaccores, not diabolic beasts".

Several disciples of Lotus Holy Land started to discuss in a low voice, making sure they were out ofDarren's earshot.

'How could he make such a small mistake? He is making a fool of himself in front of Jack, * theythought.

"Are you blind? Or are you just jealous because I got these valuable cardiac cores?" Jack growled,unable to contain his temper.

"Come on, just admit it. They are diabolic beasts’ cores. You used some skill to change their looks. Ican check them and prove it to everyone that I'm saying the truth," Darren continued, mocking Jackfurther. "Just one touch... that's all I need to assimilate the talent from these cores, * he thought.

"Do you think I'm that stupid?” What makes you think I'll let you check them? There's no way I'll juststand here and watch as you take them away from me,"

Jack answered rather scathingly. He was annoyed that his plan didn't seem to go well. He showedthe demonic monsters’ cardiac cores to frustrate Darren and make him give up, but it seemed that itwas not working. Worse, Darren was questioning his achievement. He was liking this conversationless and less.

"Okay, it seems you're too afraid that I will end up revealing your lies. I understand that you want tokeep lying to save your dignity. I mean, who wants to be humiliated, right? I won't push you,"Darren mocked. He then looked at his companions and added, "Let's go!" He then turned around,pretending to leave.

Seeing that Darren was heading towards the direction of the demonic monster's den, Jack furrowedhis eyebrows and thought, “No, I can't let him go there. He will replace out about the den in no timeand get more points from killing level one demonic monsters."

After all, that was where he had hunted his prey. He had found the den only an hour ago. Duringthat period, he went all out and slaughtered over fifty demonic monsters. He had to leaveafterwards because he was too weak. It would take him at least six to eight hours to restore hisstrength.

“Darren is in a good condition. What if he replaces that den and kills more demonic monsters than Idid?’ He cast Darren an anxious look. Although he thought all Darren could do was take out a dozendemonic monsters, he didn't want to risk it. As much as possible, he needed to stall Darren so hewouldn't be able to catch up or even earn more points than him. It was a strategy that he had toreligiously follow, or else he might lose this in competition.

"Stop!" Jack exclaimed, not wanting Darren to make another step. "You dare suspect me ofcheating? Fine, I will let you examine them. It's not like you have the guts to steal them anyway,” headded to mask the uncomfortable knot in his stomach.

He was aware that fights were not allowed there. Besides, the bag he used to keep cardiac coreswasn't some common bag. It could take all the diabolic beasts’ cardiac cores back in a heartbeat.Even if Darren were to make an attempt to take them, he would only be able to get one, not all."Great! I'll make sure your true colors will be shown to the rest,” Darren said, trying to stop himselffrom smiling. He went back to where Jack was standing. It was actually hard to keep a straight faceas he got nearer.

He then approached the pile of cardiac cores that Jack collected. He bent down, picked one up, andpretended to examine it. Knowing that the others couldn't see his expression, he allowed a smallsmile to reach his lips as he assimilated the talent of the cardiac cores.
