Chapter 252 Preparation


    After Darren killed the young man, a door that emitted rays of blinding light suddenly emerged in front


    of him, but he didn''t rush to enter it.


    He stayed put for a few moments, waiting for the young man to gradually regain his consciousness just


    like the other masters did in the previous rounds.


    "I lost to you," the young man said, shivering. "You are so powerful."


    There was a look of sheer terror on his face and he could not bring himself to look Darren in the eye.


    He was totally shocked by what just happened in the fight.


    "ording to the rules, I should get a reward after defeating you," Darren calmly replied.


    The young man nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, indeed. The reward is different from the other


    rounds, and it will be very important to you."


    The moment he stopped talking, an old book flew into Darren''s hand.


    "What is this? Is it the legendary martial skill?" Darren asked with a raised brow.


    The young man shook his head and replied, "This book contains all the detailed information about the


    masters in the tenth round and eleventh round. It even has information about the twelfth round and


    thirteenth round. This may sound surprising, but I honestly hope that you''ll make it through thest two


    rounds. I myself have never been there in my entire life."


    "Hum? So you mean that you had once entered the eleventh round?" Darren asked, his curiosity


    burning.


    "Yes. I once tried to pass the Ancient Void Battlefield. After I passed the ninth round, they put my


    spiritual intent here to guard this space. But my strength was not strong enough to pass the eleventh


    round. The master in the eleventh round was so powerful. Few people in the world could match her


    strength. Maybe after you put a lot of efforts into your practice and improved your de and Sword


    Domain, there is a slim chance for you to face her," the young man exined with a bitter smile on his


    face.


    "How do you know that I have de and Sword Domain? I have never used it in front of you," Darren


    asked in surprise.


    Since the young man was also a master who could use his de and sword at the same time, Darren


    knew that even if he used his de and Sword Domain to attack him, it wouldn''t inflict a notable


    damage on him.


    "I''m the person in charge of this ninth space, so it is perfectly natural that I know all the information


    about your de and sword.


    Actually, your power of the de and Sword Domain is more powerful than mine. But it is inevitable


    that the hard rules of the test limited your real strength, so you were not able to bring out the best in


    you.


    I''m curious... how did you surpass me in de and sword intent?"


    Darren replied, "Your de intent and sword intent were indeed strong, but you didn''t notice that when


    I broke your array, the broken pieces of your intent could be assimted into my body. So my de and


    sword intents got a big boost while in battle. Otherwise, I''m afraid that I would have used my strongest


    talent skill to attack your powerful array." It was the truth.


    When Darren was fighting the young man''s de and sword array, he could assimte the young


    man''s broken intent and seed in defeating him. He was able to do it in the most effective and subtle


    way.


    Darren decided to tell him because there was no harm in sharing the secret with him. After all, the


    young man was only a streak of spiritual intent now.


    "Well, I see. You have really impressed me." The young man had never heard that the de and sword


    intents could be assimted. It was unthinkable until now.


    "Since you still have enough time, you can improve your strength here before you enter the next round.


    And I can help you develop your de and Sword Domain, too," the young man offered kindly.


    "That''s my n, too." Darren wanted to look through the brochure first and find the information of the


    masters before entering the next round.


    The young man was also more proficient in de and sword than Darren, so it was a good decision to


    let a friend to help him develop his skills.


    In the following days, Darren spent all his time in practicing skills and improving his strength after


    skimming through the brochure. He got a general impression of the masters in the next rounds.


    ording to the brochure, the master in the eleventh round was so powerful that her strength had


    surpassed the peak stage of the Wonder Realm. She was equal to the grand warrior!


    There was only a few descriptions regarding thest two rounds, so it was hard to tell their real


    strength.


    His immediate goal was to pass the eleventh round. In order to do that, he had to hurry up and improve


    his strength.


    Three months of the outside world passed. Finally, it was time for those talents to get out of the Ancient


    Void Battlefield.


    The big day hade atst. All the talents gathered at the ce where they first came into the


    Ancient Void Battlefield.


    Among those talents, only Violet could enter the ninth round, but she failed to enter the next round.


    After she was defeated by the master of the ninth round, she was transferred out of the space. Bowen


    put a lot of effort into practice and kept on improving his strength. He finally entered the eighth round,


    but like Violet, he also failed in the end. Still, it was not a total loss since he got plenty of valuable


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    lessons in the process. Moreover, he gained a lot of experience in cultivation. Once he got out of there,


    it was absolutely certain that he would make a big improvement in his strength.


    "s, it didn''t ur to me that the tests of the Ancient Void Battlefield were so difficult. The grand


    warriors even expected us to enter the eleventh round, yet I could now understand that it was a virtually


    impossible mission toplete."


    "You are right. Even Ms. Violet Wang failed in the ninth round, so that speaks for itself."


    "Huh? What about Darren? Did he die in the Ancient Void Battlefield?" There were only about thirty


    people left at the spot, but none of them could forget Darren who deeply impressed everyone at that


    time.


    The guardian of the Ancient Void Battlefield showed up in front of them.


    "Time is up. The Ancient Void Battlefield is about to close. We will transfer you guys out of here." As he


    finished, the guardian raised his hand. Suddenly, pieces of gifts fell into each talent''s hands. Those gifts


    were the final rewards for their efforts.


    "This time, there is one person who is qualified to enter the tenth round. I hope that he can pass


    through the thirteenth round in the near future. If he could do it, he would be the first person in


    martial history to pass all the tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield!" the guardian eximed, his eyes


    filled with excitement.


    "Ah! That person must be Darren!" Someone blurted out upon hearing the guardian''s announcement.


    "Yes, that guy is Darren." A relieved smile spread over the guardian''s face.


    "It is really him," Violet murmured to herself in sheer admiration. Since she had experienced the ninth


    round, she knew how hard and terrifying it was to beat the master. No matter how hard she tried, she


    couldn''t find a way out. But to everyone''s surprise, Darren seeded. He was able to do it.


    ''Once he gets out of here, I will ask him what happened in thest few rounds, '' Violet thought to


    herself.


    After several quarters of an hour, the rest of the talents were transferred out of the Ancient Void


    Battlefield. They came back to the Grand Void Manor.


    A grand warrior sensed that the talents hade back. He immediately sent a shadow in front of the


    talents to ask them about the situation in detail.


    When the grand warrior showed up, everyone was well-behaved. They wore looks of embarrassment


    on their faces and didn''t dare look him in the eyes because they thought they failed to live up to his


    expectations.


    "You guys don''t need to be disappointed with the results. We all know that it is difficult to pass all the


    tests in the Ancient Void Battlefield. It is absolutely normal that you guys couldn''t enter the eleventh


    round.


    But I want to know... who passed through the highest round in the Ancient Void Battlefield? Come here


    and get your reward."


    The grand warrior, whose name was Brian, motioned for the said talent to approach him.


    As he did so, he deliberately cast a nce at the crowd and looked for Darren.


    In a quiet yard, Brian''s real body shook his head and said, "Chad, I said that we should not have let the


    young man enter the Ancient Void Battlefield. But your man insisted that he should attempt to clear the


    tests. Now that the poor young man has died in there. You killed an innocent man."


    Brian feigned sadness and gave out a sigh. But the truth was, he didn''t care whether Darren was dead


    or not. He just wanted to find something to tease Chad with. This was all fun and games for him.


    "Humph. It is none of my business. I did not ask him to do it. I did not force him to enter the Ancient


    Void Battlefield," Chad replied indifferently.


    "Fate ys cruel tricks sometimes. He knew that he was doomed to die in the Ancient Void Battlefield


    from the start, but he still went in there. He deserved it. But it is a pity that no one was able to enter the


    tenth round this time. If the Ancient Void Battlefield had not opened in advance, we could have found


    the top superior talents on the Talent Roll to enter the tests. In that case, it might increase the chances


    of winning."


    The grand warriors never expected that the Ancient Void Battlefield would open in advance this time.


    When they got the news, there was not much time left for them to find some stronger superior talents.


    Meanwhile, in the Grand Void Manor


    "Sir, Ms. Violet Wang entered the ninth round," a talent replied.


    "Ha-ha. That''s great. After the meeting is over, Violet can get a special reward. s, it is a pity that the


    ninth round is the highest round we reached this time." Brian couldn''t help but give out a sigh.


    "Sir, actually, Ms. Violet Wang is not the person who passed the highest round in the Ancient Void


    Battlefield," one of the talents replied hesitantly.


    "Huh?" Brian looked as though he was just doused with cold water. "What do you mean?"
