Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 193 The Dead Body Of A Dragon

Darren flew with Scott.

"Darren, I know you have a lot of questions in your mind. You can ask me now," Scott said as helanded on the top of a huge mountain. Then he made his way toward a stone and sat down.

"Scott, you came here for that blood pool, didn't you? Can you tell me more about the lake?"Darren asked.

"Okay. It is said that the lake is the birthplace of all sects with our dragon bloodline. It is possiblethat it is the provenance for all creatures in the world who have the aura of dragon blood." Scott'sexplanation aroused Darren's curiosity.

"If that is the case, the blood inside the pool is real dragon blood, right?" Darren asked in surprise.Scott nodded. After a moment, he continued, "According to my clan's recordings, this is the bloodof the original dragon. But after thousands of years, the lake has almost dried out. The originaldragon aura has almost completely disappeared.

However, the dragon blood left in the lake can produce one Dragon Saliva Fruit every few thousandyears, which can strengthen a cultivator's bloodline force. That's why I have come here.”

"So, where did the dragon blood come from?" Darren asked. Scott's explanation had piqued hiscuriosity.

"From outside this world," Scott said expressionlessly as he pointed at the sky. "You will understandwhen I show you something."

Darren nodded before voicing another question. "Scott, since you are from the Dragon Blood Clan,can you tell me whether all the members of the Dragon Sect keep the dragon bloodline?"

Scott shook his head and replied, "My Dragon Blood Clan is on the Western Fire Island, and my clanis in charge of the Dragon Holy Land, generation by generation.”

"What?" Darren was confused by Scott's reply. Then he said, "I was told that the Dragon Sect waspreviously the Ancient Dragon Holy Land. Later, it was replaced by the Dragon Sect.”

"You are right. The Holy Lord of the Ancient Dragon Holy Land was a member of our clan. But hewas too ambitious and did something to cross the line. So, our clan asked my father to replace himIt is complicated. We can talk about it later,” Scott replied

"Oh, I see. Scott, you have such a high cultivation base, but you were still severely injured. Were yourinjuries caused by the Blood Dragon in the blood pool?" Darren asked.

"No. Another terrible creature hurt me. The Holy Lords, including me, encountered it previously andit was almost as strong as us at that time. But now that a few months have passed, I am certain thatit has improved at a terrible speed. I believe it is probably as powerful as a Grand Realm cultivator.”Darren was shocked at Scott's words. He knew that the terrible creature Scott mentioned was thefiend that flew out from the bronze coffin.

"Okay, Darren. Now, follow me, and I will show you something extraordinary. After that, we shouldleave. I am afraid that the terrible creature is still around and that we are in great danger.” Scottshuddered in fear at the mention of the creature

Darren followed Scott as they flew over one great mountain and another. Finally, they stopped at aremote place. Darren was stunned as he looked ahead.

"Oh, my goddess!" Darren muttered. He had never been this shocked before.

Far ahead of them, a clear lake glistened in the sun. And on the lake lay a dead body!

The dead body was black all over and as long as thousands of miles. Although it had been dead forhundreds of thousands of years, it still gave off a powerful and mysterious aura!

According to the legends, that was the body of an ancient cyan dragon!

Now, Darren was convinced that there was dragon blood in the giant lake. Although Darren had notbelieved the legends before, he couldn't deny them now. After all, he was looking at the dragon'sbody!

As Darren continued to study the creature from afar, he could not help but wonder how powerfulthe cyan dragon would be if it were alive now. Darren was certain that it could ruin the whole worldwith only one paw!

"Scott, the dragon blood is from this cyan dragon?" Darren asked, still stunned.

"You are right. The secret recordings from my ancestors mentioned that this cyan dragon came fromoutside our world many hundreds of thousands of years ago. It fell on this tremendous barren area.When my ancestors found it, it was already dead. Its blood pooled on the ground and formed thatgiant lake. That was the origin of the dragon blood lake we saw previously."

"Wow!"

Darren sighed. He wondered if there were some other powerful creatures in the dark andmysterious outside space. Up until now, Darren had heard of two dreadful creatures that came fromthe outer world. One was the "guest from the outside world” who had killed numerous powerfulcultivators at the Grand Realm, and even many at the Holy Realm. That had been a terrible battle!Another was this dragon. Darren was, indeed, shocked!

"Scott, how about we fly closer to that dragon and have a look. Maybe we will replace somethingunusual,” Darren suggested.

"No, we can't." Scott stopped him at once. Then he added, "Although the cyan dragon is dead, itstill has power. If I fly forward another ten miles, I will be killed and turned into ash. We cannot getclose to it."

"Is it still that powerful?" Darren had nothing else to say.

"Do not doubt it. Many powerful cultivators came here a long time ago. And all of them had thesame idea as you. But none of them could get close to it. Some ancient books say that a fewcultivators at the Holy Realm came here to investigate and even they could not get close. So manyyears have passed. Although its power has weakened, it is still unreachable for cultivators like youand me," Scott said with a serious expression.

"But, we are the blood of the dragon. Maybe we are different,” Darren argued as he did not want togive up.

Scott shook his head and replied calmly, "There was an elder from my clan, who had very thickdragon blood. He transformed into his genuine dragon body and went to have a look. But he diedon his way. So what do you think will happen if we go closer? We are no match to the elder’s level.”Hearing what Scott said, Darren stopped trying to persuade Scott.

'l will replace an opportunity to get closer." Darren decided before flying away with Scott.

"Scott, do you know the Talent Roll of this time?" Darren asked Scott.

"Of course, I know it. Do you want to check your rank?" Scott gazed at Darren as he wondered whatrank Darren had reached.

"Yes. My aim is to enter the top one hundred on the Talent Roll," Darren answered.

"Top one hundred? I estimate that your rank is above the top three thousand,” Scott replied."Above the top three thousand? How can you tell my rank, Scott? Are the talents on the Talent Rollso powerful?" Darren was unconvinced.

"Actually, my clan has the complete Talent Roll. It updates according to the latest ranks. I have triedto enter the top one thousand, but failed.”

"Scott, did you say that your clan has the complete Talent Roll? Can I see it?" Darren was excited."Yes. There's no need to be surprised. Each super clan, such as the Heavenly Palace Sect in the southland, also has one. No rules prevent you from seeing the Talent Roll. At my speed, I might needanother month to return to my clan. After we leave here, you can calculate how much time isrequired. Then you can replace me at the Dragon Sect. I will show you the Talent Roll," Scott said"Thank you, Scott." Darren cupped his hands and bowed to Scott. Despite being the Holy Lord,Scott was willing to spend a month traveling to fulfill Darren's request. Darren felt grateful.

"You don't need to be so formal with me," Scott smiled at Darren, which was rare.

"Darren, at your cultivation base, it is impossible to enter the top one hundred. Among the tophundred cultivators on the Talent Roll, the lowest-ranked cultivator is at the top level of the middlestage of the Wonder Realm!" Scott reminded Darren.

"Ha-ha! Scott! Don't forget what I have learned. I believe I have the strength to fight a cultivator atthe middle stage of the Wonder Realm.” Darren had great confidence in his abilities.

"You can fight against a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm? It is definitelyimpossible, although I do not want to destroy your confidence,” Scott looked at Darren helplesslyand replied.

"What? Why do you say that? I know more than one fighting method.”

"It is impossible even if you have learned thousands of fighting ways. If you don't believe me, youcan battle me. I will use the power of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. Thenyou will know the reason," Scott said to Darren

After hearing Scott's proposal, Darren was about to agree. Darren never backed down from a fight,even if it meant there was a huge likelihood that he would be defeated.
