Chapter 70 Award (Part Two)


    A huge explosion followed.


    Waves filled the air as the purple lightning and the sword intent from Darren''s sword collided.


    The confrontationsted for a while before the purple lightning sword began to darken. The purple light


    gradually dulled and its sword intent began to disappear.


    Darren breathed hard to puke a mouthful of blood. The purple lightning sword hurt him pretty badly.


    "You''re good but not as good as me. I defeated you atst." Darren dered with a grin on his face.


    "Darren, take this magical sword. This is your reward for winning this fight. It''s very powerful." Mathew''s


    shadow told Darren by channeling the message in his mind.


    Darren leaped towards the purple lightning sword and held it in his hands.


    "Drip your blood on it and you''ll be its master forever." Mathew''s voice sounded in Darren''s ear again.


    Without hesitation, Darren dripped several drops of his blood on the weapon. Suddenly, a strange


    feeling crept at him as something in him was connected with the sword. Their minds were suddenly


    one. Darren felt it.


    "That''s amazing. I like it. I have always wanted a good sword. With this purple lightning sword, I''ll be


    able to embrace my sword skills to full scale," he said.


    The purple lightning sword came to life and shed fine purple lightning again after the ceremony.


    Numerous shes of tiny, purple lightning appeared on its surface like ripples. Its unusual appearance


    revealed its equally unusual nature.


    Suddenly, a resonant voice echoed from the sky as if God were speaking.


    "Congrattions, boy! You''ve passed the test. Since you did it perfectly, I will give you something as a


    reward," it said.


    After the unknown voice finished speaking, a tiny, wooden box appeared in front of Darren seemingly


    carried by a ray of white light. Darren reached out his hand, took the box, and leaped onto the bank.


    He walked towards Elsa and stood by her closely. Excited, he opened the box. He was eager to know


    what it contained. Whoever owned the ce seemed strong and powerful. He expected the reward to


    be just as spectacr.


    A sweet fragrance filled the air as soon as he opened it. In the middle of the box was an elixir that


    emitted a faint, green light.


    "Talent-upgrading Elixir!" Mathew''s shadow eximed with excitement, a fire of ecstasy glinting in his


    eyes. "Master is so generous. You have only finished the first test but Master already gave you the


    Talent-upgrading Elixir as your reward!"


    "What is the Talent-upgrading Elixir, Sir?" Elsa asked with a puzzled expression.


    "Oh, Darren. It''s one of the most valuable elixirs in the whole world! Some precious herbs have magical


    powers to improve a warrior''s talent, but more often than not, they are difficult to obtain. If I remember


    correctly, the Talent-upgrading Elixir is made up of seventy-eight of those precious herbs. Apart from


    the fact that its power can resurrect the dead, it can also improve a warrior''s talent by ten levels!"


    Mathew''s shadow exined.


    "Wow, that''s amazing!" Elsa eximed with eyes wide with awe. The words of Matthew''s shadow


    surprised her. This was the first time she had ever heard of such substance in her life.


    "Congrattions, Darren. That''s a very precious reward. You have one Talent-upgrading Elixir in your


    possession now."


    "Yes, it is very precious. If brought to the world outside, it might cause bloody fighting among the


    warriors who want to get a hold of it. It would be something many men would be willing to die for."


    Darren nodded in agreement with Mathew''s shadow.


    Since the Talent-upgrading Elixir would be able to upgrade a warrior''s talent by ten levels, even the


    superb warriors from the Holy Lands would surely want it for themselves.


    "Swallow it, Darren. Then, your talent will reach the Heaven Degree. Won''t that be amazing?" Elsa


    said, encouraging Darren. She seemed to be more excited for him than he was for himself.

    "But I want to give it to you, Elsa." Darren replied as he passed it to her without hesitation. He was


    quite certain of what he wanted to do with it.


    "What did you say?" Elsa asked in astonishment, unable to believe what she had heard.


    ''Why would Darren give me such a valuable elixir?'' Elsa wondered.


    "Your talent degraded when you got hurt. This elixir can heal you and improve your talent again. You


    need it," Darren exined.


    Darren possessed the ability to use the Assimtion Skill. As long as he was alive, he could one day


    improve his talent on his own and eventually achieve—or even surpass—the Heaven Degree talent


    with its help. Because of that, the elixir did not hold as much value in his eyes.


    "You''re very talented, Darren. All martial art geniuses crave for ways to improve their talents. No one


    would be willing to give up such a valuable thing! It could make a huge impact on your martial talent!


    But you, Darren, are different from the rest of them. Your friends are more important to you than


    anything else." Mathew''s shadow could not help but praise Darren for his generosity.


    "No, Darren. I cannot take it. It''s yours," Elsa said. She declined politely, unwilling to ept a gift so


    precious.


    "Take it, Elsa. Your refusal makes me feel embarrassed. I''ll feel bad if you insist." Darren replied


    seriously.


    Elsa stared at his face and saw the clear intent in his eyes. This was the first time Darren spoke to her


    that way.


    "Take it, little girl. Your boyfriend is giving you a very precious gift. Your refusal will surely hurt him. Just


    do as he says and take the damn gift." Mathew''s shadow jested.


    Reluctantly, Elsa reached out and held the precious elixir in her hands. Her face turned crimson red


    when she heard Mathew''s shadow refer to Darren as her boyfriend. To hide her shyness, she lowered


    her head to avoid the gaze of the two men in front of her. But she exined nothing. She just peeped


    at Darren from the corner of her eyes to observe his reaction.


    Darren seemed unaffected. It seemed like there was nothing unusual about it. That brought a hidden


    smile on Elsa''s lips. Her heartbeat quickened in glee.


    ''Was he silent because he epted it? Or did he justpletely ignore Matthew''s words? Or... was he


    just afraid of embarrassing me so he decided to keep quiet?'' Thoughts suddenly flooded Elsa. She


    cared so much about what Darren thought of her.
