Talented Martial Hero

Chapter 72 The Life Of Hanson

Hanson was an invincible warrior of his generation. There were countless legends about him in the

book.

On the day when Darren was framed, an Ilmen Sect elder used Hanson as an example to illustrate the

harms and benefits of simultaneously practicing swordsmanship and blade cultivation. Darren

understood the elder's message. However, he didn't expect to meet the avatar left by the legendary

master's brother in the Black Cliff of Sword Intent.

"Not bad. Darren, the little girl said that you have already refined both seeds of sword and blade

intents. You should have broken all the meridians in your body as a result. It is surprising that you have

not only preserved your meridians but also improved your cultivation base. Presumably, you have

found a way to mediate the forces that destroy the meridians when practicing both swordsmanship and

blade cultivation, right?" Mathew asked Darren.

"Yes, sir," Darren replied, honestly.

"Well, I don't know how you broke free from this constraint, but there's one thing that you need to

understand." Having said that, Mathew's avatar paused and seemed to be remembering something.

Then he said, "Life-threatening challenge appears when you break through a big Realm!"

Darren looked solemn upon hearing Mathew's words and seemed to feel something ominous in his

heart. Curious, he asked, "What do you mean, sir?"

Mathew's avatar stepped toward Darren and explained, "My brother ignored my advice and practiced

both swordsmanship and blade cultivation at the same time. Soon he suffered a significant injury and

almost died. As he was talented, he found a way to circumvent the constraint. However, one drawback

of the method was that he could not absorb the universe's spiritual energy."

When Darren heard this, his heart sank. He faced the same problem!

"When a warrior breaks through and enters a big Realm, a large amount of spiritual energy enters the

body. This energy will break the meridians of warriors who practice both swordsmanship and blade

cultivation, and they will die in an instant. I do not know what causes this."

Darren could not help but worry after Mathew told him the horrifying consequence.

He remembered that when he entered the Spirit Realm, a tremendous amount of spiritual energy

coursed through his body. Although it provided him with enough sword and blade internal forces to kill

William, his meridians had been significantly damaged in the process.

With the speed of Darren's cultivation, he only needed to absorb energy from a few herbs or cardiac

cores to break through to the Mysterious Realm. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Now Darren knew that entering the Mysterious Realm would bring a terrifying amount of spiritual

energy into his body. Darren was worried about whether he would be able to bear it or not.

Just as Darren was thinking about the challenges, Mathew spoke again, "Before my brother was about

to advance to the Holy Realm, he found a way to mediate the destructive force!"

Because this was a matter of life and death to him, Darren could not stop himself from asking, "Could

you tell me what method he used, sir?"

"I heard him mention that it is necessary to condense the sword and blade intents and fully integrate

them into one to circumvent the restrictions!" Mathew then sighed before continuing, "It is a pity that

although he tried his best to suppress the cultivation, he automatically broke through to the Holy Realm

and died before the sword and blade intents merged."

"Huh? But why? How did he automatically break through to the Holy Realm?" Elsa asked. She could

not believe what she had just heard.

Hearing Elsa's question, Mathew's avatar smiled bitterly and said, "Sometimes a person is too talented,

and that is not necessarily a good thing. My brother's talent was unparalleled. At the age of 33, he

entered the Grand Realm, and at the age of 135, he was about to reach the Holy Realm. The reason

for his unparalleled achievement was that spiritual energy automatically poured into his body ten times

faster than that of others in the same Realm. That was why he could not suppress the cultivation and

advanced to the Holy Realm and died."

Hearing that, Darren sighed. Hanson's talent was worthy of his fame.

"Spiritual energy automatically poured into his body, so he had to bear the pain of the sword and blade

intents battling each other. He survived in this situation, and finally, could not resist the conflicting

forces when he was advancing to the Holy Realm. It could be said that his achievement was

unparalleled in the world." Darren spoke, sincerely.

"Well, there is more to say about him, but let's put that aside for today." Sorrow flashed in Mathew's

eyes, and he said to Darren, "Darren, I don't know what's going on with you now, but before you enter

the Wonder Realm, be sure to integrate the sword and blade intents. When you reached the

Mysterious Realm, not much spiritual energy entered your body. You recovered even though your

meridians had been damaged. But once you break through to the Wonder Realm, the amount of

spiritual energy will destroy your body and you will die. Do you understand that?"

"Thank you very much for your advice, sir." Darren bowed to Mathew.

"We are grateful for your help, sir." Elsa also bowed.

"You don't have to be courteous. I just told you what I know. By the way, Darren, if you want to merge

the sword and blade intents, you must go to Raksa Sea to find something. I'll explain to you in detail

while you are on your way. I will also describe what you need to look for after you have finished the

third test."

Darren nodded. They could only leave after passing all three tests. This was their top priority.

Then, Mathew activated the second test.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the quiet lake was separated into two halves, and a dark and deep cave appeared in

front of Darren.

"Go ahead, Darren. I'm sure you'll succeed."

"Darren, I'll wait for you to come out."

Darren bid farewell to everyone and jumped into the dark cave.

Since both Mathew and Elsa knew of Darren's strength and talent now, they were not worried when he

began the second test. They knew without a doubt that he could pass, so they chatted.

"Little girl, let me test your talent."

With that, Mathew unleashed his spiritual sense to probe Elsa's strength.

"Your talent is at the ninth level of the Black Degree, and your cultivation base has reached the seventh

stage of the Spirit Realm. Very good. Coupled with the fact that you have now condensed the sword

core, it is possible for you to reach the Wonder Realm in ten years."

"I have Darren to thank for all this. He gave me such a precious pill. I really don't know how to repay

him."

Elsa's cultivation base had improved tremendously, and she was very grateful to Darren. At the same

time, she was thinking that if she and Darren succeeded in getting out, they would be ready for the Five

Schools Competition. What would her father think when it was time for her to fight?

In Elsa's heart, she had dreamed of the day when Thomas would watch her rise to new heights of

martial arts. That moment was about to be realized.

Just as the two were chatting, another loud noise came from the lake.

Mathew's avatar immediately became nervous. "No, why can't I detect Darren?"

As a guardian of the cliff, Mathew had been bestowed the ability to observe whoever took the first five

tests at will by his master, but he could not detect Darren's movements any longer.

"Darren is not in the second test. What is going on?"

When Elsa heard this, she became anxious. "What happened, sir? How could Darren not be in the

second test?"

Mathew shook his head as he had no explanation. This had not happened in thousands of years.

Just as Elsa was getting frantic, a young figure suddenly fell from above. Hovering midair, he gave off a

sense of suffocating pressure.

"Master..." Mathew stared at the extraordinary figure. He was so excited that he could not speak.
