Chapter 54 Opening Of The Election
Darren returned to the yard where in his childhood he had had yed with his younger sister. The
familiar scene and nostalgic memories somehow saddened him.
He had suffered too much humiliation and affliction here.
Remembering all this, Darren shook his head. His hatred was no longer as intense as before. It was
rather ironic consider how he had amazing strength now.
He took a deep breath and strode over the threshold. The house was spotless. Someone must have
been cleaning it regrly.
''Now, I have to think about how I should put into use the Omnipotent Talent Skill I gained from
assimting the diabolic beast, ''
he thought, recalling that he had obtained the Omnipotent Talent Skill of "Blood Dragon Phantom".
The descriptions of this talent skill came rushing back as he focused on this matter at hand.
"What is the Avatar Rule?"
In his memory, the Avatar Rule that connected heaven to earth was frequently mentioned. Apart from
that, many more names of rules were clear in his mind''s eye. These included the Fighting Spirit Rule,
Bloodshed Rule, Speed Rule, even Life Rule and Death Rule, but he obtained no description of them.
"This sort of talent skill requires the involvement of the forces of the nature," he said softly to himself.
Finally, he managed to pin down the Avatar Rule.
With this, he began to practice the diabolic beast talent skill ording to the methods in his memory.
"Ah, what happened?"
The moment he attempted to do this, his head swam with dizziness and everything blurred.
Before long, everything turned ck. He waspletely unable to see anything.
''Am I blind?'' he thought. He felt severe shooting pains in his eyes.
The pain didn''t stop Darren''s practicing. Instead, he tried to delve deeper into the descriptions in his
mind.
"Well, I would have be a real blind man if I had stopped just now. I''m connecting the forces of the
heaven and earth after all," he muttered.
Afflicted by extreme pain, Darren began to assimte the spiritual energy in the heaven and earth. It
was akin to assimting spiritual herbs with his current talent. Fortunately, this huge amount of spiritual
energy didn''t turn into de and sword internal force. Otherwise, all of his energy meridians would be
shattered by the fierce collision between opposite de and sword internal forces.
As his assimtion processmenced, the pain in his eyes diminished.
But he felt something go wrong when he opened his eyes.
He found himself in a silvery-white world that waspletely unfamiliar.
All the objects around him were made from strands of silvery silk threads.
''Does this have anything to do with the Avatar Rule described in my memory?'' Darren spected.
He tried to find a way to connect with those silvery silk threads. Somehow, he had the intuition that he
would attain the skill of "Dragon Blood Phantom" if he could attach himself to these silvery silk threads.
"Tooplicated!"
Darren sighed. Tangled like a mess, those silvery silk threads sent his head into a chaotic tizzy. He
wracked his brain but couldn''t find any clues at all.
After a brief moment, he felt rather cloudy-headed and fatigued, as if he hadn''t gotten a wink of sleep
for ages. It was hard to carry on.
Immediately, Darren stopped his practice because it was beyond his tolerance.
"Those silvery silk threads seem to have some strong power that has prevented me from connecting
with them. I will take my time in the future when I try again," Darren sighed, exhausted.
He gave it up temporarily. It was the same as martial skill cultivation process-- forcing a cultivation
would only do harm to one whose talent was insufficient to support the corresponding cultivation.
''That diabolic beast could have gotten this sort of talent from blood lineage. That means I should get
my Earth Degree talent improved beforeprehending its skill, '' Darren thought.
He was confident that his talent could improve greatly as long as he could enhance his strength and kill
more powerful beasts or even humans. Once he did that, he would be able toprehend the "Dragon
Blood Phantom".
With a squeak, the door was pushed open.
An old man stepped inside, screeching to a halt. He was amazed at the sight of Darren in the room.
"The guard of the Martial Skill Library?" Darren blurted out.
"Ha-ha, it is you, Darren! I came here to check because I felt a great amount of spiritual energy
emanating from this ce," the guard of the Martial Skill Library said, happiness radiating from his
skinny face.
"Nice to see you, Sir. Long time no see," Darren bowed and cupped one hand in the other before his
chest as a sign of respect.
"I kept this room for you and saw to it that it was cleaned every day. I knew it! I knew you''de back
someday! Stay here since you are back now. Nobody will dare to bully you even the Chu n has the
new chief. I have your back!" the guard promised emphatically.
"Thank you for your kindness. I must leave here after this election. This ce is really not meant for
me," Darren gave him a thin smile. Truth be told, he was more interested in the outside world. Even
more pressing was his need to look for his younger sister Belle. The election for a chief of the Chu n
had scant appeal for him.
"Hey, Darren, don''t worry. Nobody will mess with you under my watch." The guard of the Martial Skill
Library had caught wind of Darren''s misfortune once he entered the Ilmen Sect. He had been waiting
for Darren''s return ever since.
"Not this reason." Darren shook his head and said, "Do you really think I am done?"
The guard gave Darren a puzzled look as he heard his words. The news from the Ilmen Sect was
truthful, wasn''t it? He had made every endeavor to ask about Darren''s situation, which all the people in
the Ilmen Sect knew details about.
Seeing the guard''s puzzled look, Darren flexed his finger and made a flip to the wall, breaking into
pieces a saber that hung on it.
The guard''s aging eyes brightened immediately. "Good boy. Catch my blow!" he said softly.
He dispatched the third move of the Profound Nine Sword Skills.
Darren made no effort to evade it. He simply extended his fair palm and pressed the huge sword edge
with his two fingers. Immediately, all its power was gone and it could make no more moves.
The guard''s mouth hung open in great astonishment. "Why are you so, so strong?" He couldn''t believe
his eyes!
"Ha ha, take a look!" Darren said, smiling mysteriously.
He put his fingers together in the air, calling forth continuous sword internal force which burst out as the
first eight moves of the Profound Nine Sword Skills were shown with perfect tracks.
The guard of the Martial Skill Library was too surprised to utter a word. Only after a long while did he
snap out of his shocked daze and burst intoughter.
"Ha-ha-ha, you are really an extraordinary talent toprehend eight moves of the Profound Nine
Sword Skills! Wonderful, oh, this is so wonderful!" The guard of the Martial Skill Library smiled widely,
earnest pride in his eyes.
"You are overestimating me, Sir," Darren said in a t voice, hanging his head a little.
"Don''t be so humble. Your strength is no less inferior to mine now. Oh, goodness! It''s simply
unbelievable!" he said, patting Darren''s shoulder. "I need to prepare for tomorrow''s grand election,
have a good rest."
He left, immensely pleased. "I wonder how the other Elders will react when they witness Darren''s
strength. How frightened will they be?".
Before daybreak the next day, a noisy din began in Chu n''s manor.
Darren got up and came out to the training ground. It was now crampedly crowded with countless
people, including many members of visiting ns.
"I heard every side has invited masters at least at the second stage of the Spirit Realm topete for
this grand election. This is in fact a contest of backers of different sides."
"Correct, several other major ns in Valmar have also sent their masters here. I think they are going
to pick fights, we''d better keep away from them."
"Why are you so afraid? I heard the Chief Elder has invited some masters from the Governor''s Office to
keep peace here. Moreover, the Governor''s Office has invited an extraordinary powerful man toe
here to maintain order. Those spectators from other ns dare not act foolishly here!"
Several young men of the Chu n''s coteral line talked about the matter.

Around two hourster, thousands of people from all entities that had high status and strength had
gathered on the Chu n''s training ground.
Darren himself stood motionlessly in an inconspicuous corner. He wondered how the other people
would react when Toby from the Governor''s Office introduced him. Yes, him, Darren! He was the
extraordinarily powerful man!
