Chapter 246 A Big Step Forward
"You are unreasonable. You couldn''t resist the temptation and rushed to pick the herbs. How does your
problem concern us?" retorted a genius. The genius was unhappy as he had been scolded for no
apparent reason.
Boom!
Without a word, Billy delivered a palm attack towards the genius, pushing him backwards dozens of
feet.
"Norris, are you all right?" Another genius who was friendly with the injured cultivator rushed forward to
catch him.
Blood oozed slowly from the corner of Norris Fang''s mouth. Norris Fang was not weak, and he could

kill a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm when he was at full strength. However, Billy
was stronger than him.
"Billy, you''ve gone too far! If I team up with Quinn, we''ll be strong enough to kill you. And that is what
you deserve!" Norris Fang snapped. Quinn Qi, the genius who had helped Norris, red at Billy.
"Yes, Billy, if you continue to act cruelly, we''ll be forced to retaliate. Then, you cannot me us for our
behavior." Before Billy could respond, Quinn and Norris unleashed their powerful aura.
"Humph, you two weaklings want to kill me? You won''t have a chance, because I''ll kill you first!" Billy
cried as he summoned all his power.
"Stop it!" Darren yelled. His tone was so imposing that everyone stopped to stare at him.
"Oh, one more? Do you intend to ally with them?" Billy asked as he red at Darren. "All right,e at
me together. I don''t mind killing all of you."
"Billy, if I also join them, do you think you will have a chance to survive?" Bowen said while releasing
his energy. In terms of strength, Bowen was a little stronger than Quinn.
As the three waves headed for him, Billy, whosebat power had been partly sapped by the magic
herb, wasn''t sure he could kill them anymore. What was more, the talented young man had not shown
his real strength as yet. Billy wondered how powerful Darren was, and became wary of the other
geniuses who opposed him. If all these geniuses joined forces, he had little chance of winning.
"Ha-ha, well, when I regain my strength, I will teach you bastards a lesson, one by one," Billy
threatened as his expression turned into a sneer.
p! p! p!
Suddenly, the sound of skin hitting skin echoed in the space. A figure had swiftly flown toward Billy and
pped his haughty face several times in session.
"Damn it. How dare you p me?" Billy was taken aback by the sudden attack. He had never thought
that anyone would p him on the face. Utterly embarrassed, Billy''s face turned crimson.
It wasn''t until the attacker stopped that the others realized that it was Darren.
"Great, Darren. Well done! If he hits you, we''ll kill him together!" Quinn, Norris, and Bowen supported
Darren.
Rage bubbled inside Billy, but he did not dare to vent his anger. He felt oppressed as he felt that the
others had wronged him.
"You''d better not talk anymore nonsense. I have killed many bastards. It won''t hurt me to kill one more.
Do you understand?"
Billy had not reached the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm yet. Darren knew that with his physical
strength, he had no reason to worry even if he fought Billy alone. Why would he bear Billy''s arrogance
and abuse if he was confident of defeating Billy?
Darren was physically strong enough to withstand the onught of the Omnipotent Talent Skill from a
cultivator at the top level of the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.
"From now on, you are my enemies. I''ll get my revenge!" Billy calmed down after his frenzy. Unwilling
to work with the others, he flew in a different direction.
Darren and the other three didn''t stop him. After his outburst, no one wanted to work with Billy. But they
didn''t want to harm him either. Especially Darren, as he felt that there was a reason why each group
had five people. Perhaps it would make them weaker if their group was missing one member.
Shortly after Billy had left, the remaining group members analyzed the battlefield and concluded that
they needed to seek magic spiritual herbs with mental abilities to enhance their strength and prepare
for theter assessments.
"Darren, do you think we should hunt for magic herbs together or separately?"
Considering how Darren had perceived the threat by the magic herbs first, and how he''d handled Billy,
the others considered Darren as their leader and asked him for advice.
"There seems to be an abundant supply of powerful magic herbs. If we work together, we might invite
herbs? We can meet after we''re stronger," Darren suggested after thinking for a moment.
"I agree with Darren. Do you see that ck cavern in the distance? It emits a faint aura of terror. To
pass this test, we may need to go through the challenge from it," Norris surmised. "We can enhance
our strength faster by attacking the magic herbs separately. What do you think?"
"I agree."
"I agree."
Immediately, the four people scattered in different directions to search for their targets.
What the others didn''t know was that Darren had suggested they should separate and search for the
herbs because he didn''t want them to discover that he could assimte magic herbs instead of refining
them.
After the four separated, Darren flew for a long time before stopping to look at the countless magic
herbs before him.
"Absorbing spiritual energy here won''t cause a conflict between my de intent and sword intent,
which means I might step into the Wonder Realm. But my breakthrough might be reversed once I
leave.
The other participants, who failed and were asked to cultivate outside, got the special rewards to retain
their improvement of cultivation," Darren analyzed.
"Let''s see how much my strength grows when I reach the Wonder Realm!"
Having reached a decision, Darren began to search for targets.
"That magic herb is only at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm. I''ll start with it."
Finally, Darren had found an herb that he could collect. He concealed his breath and slowly
approached the herb.
Boom!
His powerful sword intent cut the herb at the root. Then, he grabbed the magic herb and flew to safety
to avoid being attacked by the other nts.
In a sh, Darren devoured and absorbed the magic herb. Simultaneously, heunched his talent skill
to assimte the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Soon, his realm soared. Within a few seconds, the sword core within his body quivered. It was a sign of
a breakthrough.
However, Darren fought hard to hold back the sword core as he didn''t want to reach the Wonder Realm
relying solely on the sword core. He hoped that after refining the de core, he could make a
breakthrough by leveraging both the de core and the sword core. That way, he would be stronger.
This was the experience he gained from the first test.
Previously, Darren had managed to solidify the de core through a supernatural martial skill. Now that
he had mastered a supernatural de skill, it would be easy to condense the de core with the
previous battlefield experience.
Darren summoned the de intent,pressed it into his elixir field, and started to set the de core.
Ten days went by quickly. During this time, Darren had no trouble condensing the de core.
"Will the de core vanish after I leave?"
Darren deliberated for a while before concluding that it wouldn''t be reversed once he left. He
rationalized that since he had condensed the de core using the de intent he had before he
entered the battlefield, the upgrade had nothing to do with whether he was in the Ancient Void
Battlefield or not.
Satisfied, Darren hunted for a few more magic herbs. Once he had collected several, he assimted
them all at once.
"It''s starting to breakthrough."
Darren released both the de core and the sword core. In the process of the breakthrough, he
continuouslypressed the de intent and the sword intent. Finally, his de core and sword core
were upgraded to the green level, just like when he was in the first battlefield.
Boom!
The massive spiritual energy of heaven and earth descended, and the magic herbs trembled and fell
on the ground.
Darren''s body was filled with horrifying power, and his strength increased rapidly.
The spiritual energy continued to enter his body for two hours before it finally stopped.
Darren had been quietly experiencing the mystery of the Wonder Realm all this time. When he opened
his eyes, they glistened with excitement.
"I never expected to own such terrible power when I reached the Wonder Realm." Darren felt the
strength he had gained and was shocked.
