Chapter 501 Pals Are In Trouble (Part One)


    At the onset of Darren''s confident statement, the two elders'' doubting eyes shed with a shadow of


    half-heartedness. Yet, they chose to suppress the feeling within them and dared not verbalize it—they


    had a high reverence for Darren to do so.


    However, no matter how hard they acted normal and tried to hide their apparent stand about the issue,


    Darren keenly detected the glints of doubt in their eyes. Knowing that they did not believe his words,


    Darren''s desire to improve grew within him more intensely. In Horace''s mind, there lingered the


    question, ''How is it possible that Darren is going to improve his strength within just three years from the


    level of being able to kill a one-star grand warrior to the level of killing a four-star or even a five-star


    grand warrior?''


    As he thought about it, Horace hade to think about Finley. That, even Finley, a potential holy


    emperor, was unable to do that. It might also take him many years to be able to advance at that stage.


    "Horace, Rocky, I believe you will have to stay here to deal with some minor problems. I have to leave


    first," breaking the ice that froze them awkwardly, Darren said his farewell and did not say too much.


    "Okay," the two grand-elders replied shortly with a nod.


    With the grand-elders'' consent, Darren lurched and soared into the sky like a bird freed from captivity.


    As swift as he could, he flew out of the region away from the Red Inferno Sect.


    There were vast stretches of mountains outside the Red Inferno Sect, luscious and paved with


    evergreen trees. Creatures of varied species were scattered across the ins, and Darren enjoyed


    seeing such life forms. As he neared his destination, Darren randomlynded on an isted peak.


    Now that he was alone and had all the time in the world, all he needed was to concentrate. He was


    diverting all his attention on how to improve his cultivation base in the fastest way possible.


    "How can I improve my strength quickly?" murmured Darren as he had some self-reflections amidst the


    vast and peacefulnd.


    In all truths, even Darren himself was kind of unsure that he could take merely three years to reach the


    level of being able to kill a five-star grand warrior.


    Especially, after having witnessed the fervid battle between Eddy and the leader of thew enforcers,


    Darren was humbled and felt that his strength was too weak. Unfortunately, to his disadvantage, the


    space passage had been sealed off. That would signify that he had to improve his strength as soon as


    possible, and the idea alone annoyed him—much more the pressure.


    "Right now, my talent is still far from enough!" the confused young warrior talked to himself in soliloquy.


    At those moments of self-questionings, Darren recalled that Finley told him once, that there were


    higher levels of talents above the talent of the Heaven Degree. If he wanted to improve his cultivation


    base sooner and faster, it would be essential to boost his talent.


    However, the problem Darren had at hand was, he could not find appropriate targets to absorb their


    talents. On the other hand, even though he could locate them, he was not strong enough to hunt them


    down, kill them, and assimte what they had. Thus, he had to look for other alternatives as of the


    moment.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    "Inside my Space Ring, there are tens of thousands of demonic cores from grand demonic monsters. I


    can use them to improve my cultivation base as of now," whispered Darren as he thought of a


    temporary solution to his dilemma.


    The moment his cultivation base had improved, Darren''s bloodline force, the one that he had obtained


    in the Raksa Sea, would be activated, which would enhance his strength consequently.


    After having decided on what to do, he dug a cave at will and put out arge number of demonic cores


    from his Space Ring. One by one, Darren began to assimte the spiritual energy in them with all


    hopes of increasing his cultivation base. In his eagerness to have more and more, Darren, at the same


    time, had fully used his talents to absorb the spiritual energy in nature.


    By all these means, even though the progress of elerating Darren''s cultivation base was still slow, it


    was way much fasterpared to other warriors'' cultivation at level-one Heaven Degree talent.


    Time passed rather quickly on that secluded peak while Darren was cultivating. It had been three


    months since that day hended on that peaceful ce with the conviction of having his cultivation


    base improved.


    "By the look and feel of it, I can say that I am already at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm."


    After Darren hadpleted the inspection of his cultivation base, he was delighted.


    Within just three months, he had arrived at the top level of the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm.


    That was quite an achievement; thus, he assumed that it was just right and proper for him to be proud


    of himself.


    "Indeed, the talent degree is important to the improvement of cultivation base," murmured Darren with


    an aplished aura on his face.


    On the contrary, the fact remained that though he had made quite an advancement, the level that he


    had attained right now was quite farfetched from his target—in short, his cultivation level fell too short.


    If, by any luck, he reached the Grand Realm in three years'' time or sooner, he would be able to kill a


    four-star grand warrior at the top level, or best an ordinary five-star grand warrior.


    Once Darren seeded at doing that, his bloodline level would improve significantly, and so would the


    strength of his de and Sword Domain. The improvement of these bloodlines and skills that he had


    would only mean one thing, and that was hisbat power would progress tremendously and to an


    extraordinary extent.


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    Just as Darren had enough motivation to continue his cultivation, the contact bead in his Space Ring


    sounded an alert.


    "Darren, are you all right?


    I am afraid that Timothy and I will be unable to help you. I hope you can save your sister sessfully."


    Abrd''s voice came out of the contact bead. He sounded like he was apprehensive for Darren, which


    made thetter confused as to what made him behave so.


    "No worries, Abrd! I have resolved my affairs. What''s wrong with you?" responded Darren abruptly


    as he was eager to have his mind cleared off at the thought of what was troubling Abrd at the


    moment.


    Yet, staring at his Space Ring, Darren grew annoyed as he remembered thest time that Abrd sent


    him a message through the contact bead. Darren responded immediately, but he, in return, did not get


    any messages back again. Waiting in vain frustrated him a lot, and that made him curse Abrd,


    though he was miles away from him.


    Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!


    This time, however, soon after Darren sent his response, Abrd replied.


    "s, Timothy is in bad shape! He has been severely injured. We are now hiding inside a protective


    device, but I am afraid it will notst long before we get caught. I think I have to say goodbye to you for


    thest time in my life, buddy," Abrd hollered in fear and destion.
