Lord Of Martial Arts

The three of them returned to the tribe.

"Since I'm injured, Darren, I need to recover in seclusion for some time. Make yourselves at home, please," the old man said.

"Okay. Thank you for your help, sir. Please get some rest," Darren replied with a respectful bow.

"You're welcome. I'll take my leave now." The old man waved his hand and left.

"Let's go," Darren said to Hailey.

"Where are we going?" The entire time, Hailey had been nervous because of what she had said to Darren.

"We're headed to where I live. You need to heal, as well."

"Okay."

When they reached Darren's dwelling place, Hailey kept her head bowed and didn't dare to speak.

After a long time, she mustered the courage to ask, "Darren, do you hate me after what I said?"

"Don't be silly. You didn't do anything wrong. Why would I hate you? Just focus on healing, okay?"

Upon hearing Darren's reassurance, Hailey was so happy that she almost cried. But, she tried her best to hold back the tears. Her face remained expressionless as she quietly healed herself.

A month passed.

During this time, Darren appeared calm, but he was restless in his heart.

He tried to communicate with his avatar via spiritual sense, but he received no reply.

'Did the avatar...' Darren didn't dare to think further.

'The Shura Force. I have to improve my Shura Force!' Darren had no choice but to pray that his avatar was safe. In the meanwhile, the restlessness he felt morphed into an obsessive determination to improve his strength. This way, he would still have the opportunity to save his avatar.

"Let the blood of the spiritual beast king enter the crystals. Circle the energy for three hundred and sixty rounds, and then reverse the circulation. If done correctly, you will get the power..." Darren remembered the cultivation method that the avatar had taught him.

Now that he knew the cultivation method and had the blood essence of a spiritual beast king, Darren could refine the Shura Force from ancient spiritual energy.

But, it was easier said than done.

During his practice, Darren stumbled across many difficulties. There were times when the spiritual energy wasn't running smoothly, which caused Darren to face several setbacks. There was also a ti

ence. This is so humiliating," the little ape remarked as fury coursed through him.

"Okay. Let's visit Yahya."

"Okay."

The two apes flew forward and stopped in front of the enormous statue.

Buzz...

Ripples spread in space.

After a while, a figure appeared in front of the two apes.

He was tall and handsome and dressed in a purple robe.

"Sir," greeted Yahya.

After ten years, Yahya was no longer child-like. He appeared mature with his angular features.

"Good boy, did you make it?"

"Yes, sir. I successfully broke through the forbidden area and rescued two other masters. Besides, I also mastered Water and Fire Cultivation and Feminine and Masculine Cultivation. Finally, I am a holy emperor," said Yahya.

"Holy emperor?"

The old ape was shocked by Yahya's progress.

Ten years ago, when Yahya entered the forbidden area, he was at the early stage of a half-step emperor. Ten years later, he had successfully become a holy emperor. No wonder the old ape was surprised by his speed. He had lived for so many years, and he had never heard of such a talent.

"Good, good. My grandson made the right choice.

Now, let me see how strong you are." Satisfaction glinted in the old ape's eyes as he spoke.

"Ha-ha, sir, you are not my match." Yahya grinned as he replied.

"What? You are too arrogant. You don't know my strength at all. Let me show you," the old ape declared. In his mind, a young man who had just become a holy emperor could not defeat him at all.
