Chapter 143 Show Off (Part One)
In the area of demonic monsters, Darren and hispanions, who were hiding atop a towering tree,
watched with interest as three demonic monsters hit their prey. It was beyond amusing.
"Darren, Rory is really physically strong. He is still alive."
Darrenughed and responded, "Those demonic monsters are smart. They are just ying with Rory.
If they were serious, he would have already been beaten to a pulp. The demonic monsters were going
easy on him."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a strong wind blew, causing them to hold on to a branch to avoid falling off. They
narrowed their eyes in the direction where the force seemingly came from. A figure that exuded a
strong aura showed up in the woods, not far from where they were hiding.
"Go to hell, you beasts!"
With an angry shout, the man swung his arm and gave the demonic monsters a punch that was so
strong that they flew a few meters away and crashed into a trunk of a tree. They twitched around madly
before their legs gave in, sending them falling face first onto the ground. Darren noticed how their
breathing had stopped by then. The demonic monsters were dead.
"That was so horrible!" the outer disciples of Lotus Holy Land eximed with terror in their eyes. They
couldn''t believe what they just witnessed.
They held their breath and thought, ''He ughtered three level 3 demonic monsters with a single
move.''
"What''s going on? He is the chief of the Wei Family. What is he doing here?" one of them said,
squinting his eyes.
They were anxious. After all, they tricked the members of the Wei Family and got them killed.
"Don''t panic. I''ll go ahead and take a look to see what''s going on," Darren responded, resting his eyes
on Clive. Unlike hispanions, the sudden arrival of the chief didn''t send him into panic. ''The four
members of the Wei Family are dead, Rory cked out, so how would he know I set his members up?
I didn''t kill them myself. Technically, I didn''t break the game''s rules. Hence, even if he figured it out, he
wouldn''t be able to do anything to me.
I must go get the demonic monsters'' corpses. Once I assimte them, I would achieve a significant
leap in talent, '' he thought.
"Be careful, Darren," Sven said as Darren flew towards the dead monsters.
A couple of secondster, Darren reached his target. "Thank god they are still giving off blue light. They
are still useful to me," he murmured with relief.
As he concentrated, the blue lighting off the demonic monsters flew towards him. In a second, he
assimted all the blue light, filling him with warmth and strength.
"Wow. It feels great," Darren said, stretching his arms leisurely as though he had just gotten a good
sleep. He felt fantastic, livelier, and happier.
''Oh jeez, I''ve gotten an upgrade. Now my talent is at level four of the Earth Degree, '' he eximed
joyfully, but still making sure that his face didn''t show too much emotion. He was also pleased to see
that he had achieved such a significant leap in his talent after assimting the talent of the three level
three demonic monsters.
"Get out of here, brat," Clive snarled at Darren while holding Rory, who was covered in bruises, in his
arms.
"Mr. Wei, I hope you understand that you do not own this ce. You neither have the right to ask me to
leave nor the authority to force me," Darren answered coolly.
"Do you think I don''t know you areing here to collect demonic monsters'' cardiac cores?" Clive
retorted, snorting. He then hit the three cores and made them break.
With a small smile, Darren scoffed, "Ah, you''d rather destroy cardiac cores than let me get them. You''re
really mean, aren''t you?"
Clive was visibly pissed off with his remark. His face turned grave as he said menacingly, "You dare talk
to me this way? Aren''t you afraid I might end your life?" Darrenughed.
"Why would I be?" He lifted his chin and then added, rather arrogantly, "If you dare kill me without any

reason, our Holy Lord will treat this behavior as a provocation, and she will not let you go. I''m sure Mr.
Landon will take our side. Are you prepared to face their wrath?"
Clive opened his mouth to speak then closed it again. ''He is right. The risk is too high. After all, we
have ced a huge wager on this bet, '' he thought grudgingly. ''Darren is the hope of Lotus Holy Land.
If I take his life, Diana will throw a fit.''
"You''re a brave man," Clive said, sneering. "Don''t think you''ll be the winner since Rory got injured. You
can''t survive this."
And with that, Clive was transported back to the square together with Rory.
"Just wait and see," Darren murmured, narrowing his eyes at the spot where Clive had been standing a
few seconds ago.
...
Time passed by quickly. It had been four hours since Darren and hispanions had been transported
to the area of demonic monsters.
Ever since Rory left, the outer disciples of Lotus Holy Land hadn''t encountered anyone that dared to
get in their way. So far, they had only ughtered over a hundred diabolic beasts, earning them more
than a hundred points.
"Darren, I think we should focus on diabolic beasts. We only get ten points after taking out a level one
demonic monster. It''s not rewarding enough. Who would be stupid to look for demonic monsters? I
think the hunting rules are unreasonable," one of Darren''spanionsined, seemingly unable
to keep his thoughts to himself.
"You''re wrong." Darren shook his head and continued, "You think hunting diabolic beasts is the best
way to earn points because they are easy to find and there are lots of them, but if the two geniuses of
the Ancient Families can find enough level one demonic monsters, they will earn more points than what
we have gathered so far—all in such a short amount of time."
"On the other hand, running into lots of level two demonic monsters would be quite disadvantageous
for them. Level-two demonic monsters are much stronger than level one demonic monsters. Killing one
level two demonic monster would cost them too much energy and time. It would only earn them about
twenty points, so I don''t think it''s worthwhile," he added.
