Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 198 Brotherly Love

"The Dragon Saliva Fruit is extremely precious. It was nurtured in the dragon blood pool forthousands of years. This may be purposeless for ordinary people, but as for you and me, whopossesses the dragon bloodline in our veins, this serves as the most valuable treasure in the world. Ifone owns an intact Dragon Saliva Fruit, it can refine his feeble bloodline, and allow it to becomeextremely pure and clear. Either that, or it can change his blood into the lower level of the dragonblood," Scott explained.

He then continued, "If my blood can turn into the lower level of the dragon blood, it is certain that Iwill reach the Grand Realm in half a year. If I can't change my blood, it can only empower mybloodline and improve some of my strength, but there is not a slightest chance for me to arrive atthe Grand Realm.

In your case, however, the effect of the fruit will be different. Right now, your bloodline is perfectlypure. Once you arrive at the peak stage of the Wonder Realm, you can refine the fruit and use it tochange your bloodline. After that, with the great power of the dragon blood, I'm sure that you willreach the Grand Realm! So, you take the fruit. Having it for myself would be such a waste.”

As Scott concluded, Darren nodded his head in comprehension.

'Ilt's such an honor to have a brother like him, * Darren thought. Not many people would be asgenerous and selfless as Scott. Darren was deeply moved by this grand gesture. Scott voluntarilygave up his chance to reach the Grand Realm and offered it to Darren. It was so noble of him tomake such a sacrifice.

No one could change the world in a single stroke, but Scott's kindness made all the difference.Considering that they knew each other for only a short period, anybody else wouldn't think twice tokill him when tempted with such a rare treasure. But Scott, the good person that he was, chose thepath of unselfishness. As far as Darren knew, if a person could reach the Grand Realm, it meant thathe could be above everyone else in the world. He would be the real king of the martial world, andeveryone would have to obey his orders. Such a lure of power could be both tempting anddaunting. But Scott resisted such a temptation.

"In that case, you should take the half of the Dragon Saliva Fruit," Darren offered after thinkingfurther. "Even if your chances are slim, you can still can make an effort and make it work for youradvantage. This is a rare chance for you too, and now is not the time for you to give up. As for me, Ihave no idea when I will be arriving at the Wonder Realm. Nothing is settled yet, so I probably won'thave the chance to use it at all,” he stated. He looked at Scott and noticed the torn expressionetched on his face.

He knew that Scott wanted to refuse him on his offer again. So before Scott could say anything,Darren feigned anger and boomed, "If you insist on giving it to me, I will think that you are lookingdown on me and you are afraid to owe a debt of gratitude to me."

"There's really no changing your mind, huh?" Scott sighed and admitted defeat. He saw rightthrough the false anger Darren was showing. Scott knew that he was just putting up a front for himto accept his offer. Scott finally submitted and whispered, "You saved my life twice. I owe it all toyou. Without you, I can no longer exist in this world. So yes, I will take the Dragon Saliva Fruit. If Ican reach the Grand Realm in half a year, I will definitely share my honors with you!"

"Ha-ha. Here you go! That's the spirit!" Darren heartily laughed and wrapped his arm around Scott."You should take a bite of the fruit right now. After you make a full recovery from the injuries, wecan get out of here as soon as possible.” Darren handed the Dragon Saliva Fruit to him.

Scott took the red fruit from his hand, carefully cut off a thin slice and swallowed it. "A slice of theDragon Saliva Fruit will be enough to strengthen my bloodline and make me recover from theinjuries. We can get out here in half a day,” Scott said

"Darren, reach out your hand," Scott said before he started to heal his wound again.

Although Darren was clueless and unsure why he was being instructed to do so, he still complied.The aura of dragon blood inside Scott's body suddenly broke out. It flew directly into Darren'smeridians as Scott held his hands. Scott felt a tremendous pain gushing all over his body. Darreneven found that there was a slight shadow emerging from Scott's back.

Boom!

Darren felt dizzy all of a sudden, and felt as though something strange dashed into his soul.

The whole scene continued for about an hour. When Scott released Darren's hands, Scott lookeddeathly pale. He was so exhausted that he nearly fainted and fell on the ground.

"Scott, what happened?” Darren felt worry rise up as he stared astonished at the weakened personin front of him.

"Darren, have you heard of a particular inheritance skill of the dragons? After you grasp it, you willbe able to share your life and death with another one. Ha-ha." Scott laughed weakly and continued,"You have saved my life twice. And now, I will enter a contract with you. Under this contract, if youdie, I will die with you.”

Darren was at a loss for words. It meant that if Darren was in danger, Scott would do anything tosave him.

But what Darren didn't know was that the contract was unilateral. It meant that Scott's death wouldhave no influence on Darren. It would only work both ways if both parties possessed that particularinheritance skill and voluntarily made the contract. Since Darren didn't have that inheritance skill,and he was unaware of the events, the effects would only influence Scott.

"I promise you, from now on, I will try my best to protect our lives.” Darren smiled faintly. Adetermined look could be seen in his eyes.

"Of course. And remember, from now on, you're my brother,” Scott declared and returned his smile.He was grateful for the newly forged brotherhood they both shared.

"Okay, Scott." Darren was elated to have a big brother like him. He furrowed his brows as if thinkinghard and murmured, "Scott, I owe you an explanation about my demonic transformation.”

"You don't have to hurry. You can tell me when we get out of here. Now, you are my brother, whoshares my life with me. There is no need to care about those trifle details, and I know you are a niceand trustworthy guy.” As Scott finished, he began to cure his body.

It took half a day for Scott to completely recover from his injuries and strengthen his bloodline withthe help of the Dragon Saliva Fruit.

Previously, Scott got in a fight with a black armored man who was as strong as a Grand Realmcultivator. He was able to escape the danger because he had extremely tough body conditions.Otherwise, facing a grand warrior like that, it was certain that he would be killed in one blow. Therewas an enormous gap between the one who arrived at the Grand Realm and the one who came veryclose. Their power and strength were totally different.

After Scott woke up, he and Darren had a long chat. Darren told him about the truth of his demonictransformation skill, and recounted how he entered the forbidden area of the Dragon Sect.

Scott was taken aback by what Darren said. "It was you who entered the forbidden area! To behonest, I was still worried before you told me the truth,” Scott said.

"Ha-ha. At that time, I was chased by some powerful guy. So I had no choice but to run into thatplace.” Darren smiled softly.

"In our clan, there is a rule that has been handed down from generation to generation. It requires usto protect the forbidden area, and prevent creatures that have fresh blood from entering the area. Itis everyone's responsibility to protect the forbidden area in every Holy Land. But we don't knowwhat is in that area. Do you know anything about it?" Scott asked. He was determined to know whatwas the secret behind the forbidden area.

Each Holy Lord of the eight Holy Lands had to undergo an extremely rigorous selection. The mostimportant requirement for the Holy Lord was to protect the forbidden area, whatever the cost. If hecouldn't deliver on his promise, he would be overturned as the Lord of the Holy Land. As the HolyLord of the Dragon Holy Land, Scott also took the responsibility to protect the forbidden area. Buthe also had no idea what was lurking inside. He also didn't know what ways he could do to replace out.The only thing he was sure of was that the Holy Land actually came from the witchers.

"I do know a thing or two about the forbidden area. Let me tell you everything I know. Scott, haveyou heard of the witchers?" Darren asked. Scott's eyes lit up in expectation of what he was about tolearn.

Darren told Scott everything he knew about the forbidden area. As he finished telling his story, itleft Scott completely dumbfounded.

"I see. So the witchers do exist in the world. And the great war happened a long time ago was alsotrue. No wonder the eight Holy Lands have such high statuses and good reputations, it is allbecause the witchers had chosen us. But I guess there must have had other reasons for it.Otherwise, the witchers would not choose our clan and those groups in the first place,” Scottanalyzed. He stroked his chin as he processed the new information he just heard.

"Maybe you're right about that. But we should get out of here soon, I have a friend waiting for meoutside and I don’t know how he is. What's more, I have been here for a long time. Elsa is going tobe worried about me." Darren gave Scott an anxious look.

"Okay, Let's go," Scott agreed. They both flew towards the lake.

When they got there, they were faced with a strange vortex. Scott transferred his aura of dragonblood and blew towards it. A door emerged from the water, emitting blinding rays of light. Theywere both enveloped by the light, and with that, they disappeared.

Darren had never seen those people who had first stepped their feet into this place. Probablybecause they were all buried in the dust and dirt so that no one could replace out again. Staring deepinto the void, he felt that this place was as vast as a world, and he would never figure out the infinitesecrets it beheld
