Lord Of Martial Arts

"Phew!"

Sweat dripped down from Darren's entire body, but the feeling was refreshing as it cooled him down a bit.

"The spiritual energy is several levels higher than that of the spiritual energy creatures!"

The idea that this drop of spiritual energy was more powerful than ten spiritual energy creatures combined delighted Darren.

And to think that this small pond had thousands of drops!

"I can't completely assimilate and refine them for now, so I'll put them away first." Taking out a jade bottle, he scooped up the spiritual energy liquid. He made sure that no drop was wasted in the process.

Then, he flew around the tree, hunting down for more pools like this, but he didn't find anything.

"Thank you, big tree. This would be enough to make me reach the peak of a half-step emperor."

He cupped his hands together towards the giant tree before flying away.

Upon getting out of the wilderness, he landed on a mountain.

At first glance, it was nothing out of the ordinary. But when he looked at the southeast side of it, he was faced with a smooth mountainous wall that was covered entirely with inscribed words.

He took a closer look at it and saw nine strange cultivation methods carved on it.

Three of them were for rule cultivators. Another three were for martial artists. And the last three were unknown to Darren.

"These three look strange. What kind of cultivation methods are these?

Never mind. I'll try the methods for martial artists first."

With that, he skipped the three unknown inscriptions and selected the other three for martial artists.

"This one is called 'Void Penetration'. It doesn't seem special." He began studying the description for the method.

Soon, though, he could feel his mind beginning to buzz.

It was a low hum at first, until it became more pronounced.

"Ah!"

The buzzing had turned into a sharp headache that seemed to slice through his brain. He then realized that this grade of martial skill was beyond normal.

"I am the person who has the highest talent degree in the world. How can I possibly not understand this one?"

His frustration soon paved the way for astonishment. Generally speaking, low-level cultivators wouldn't comprehend a high-grade martial skill. Even with a Genuine Domain Degree talent, he still couldn't understand this martial skill. This could only mean that whoever

re wasn't one of them. How could he possibly comprehend it?

"Well, let me follow what's on the record first. I'll practice that and then I'll see."

With that, Darren began studying.

"Wow!"

The splitting headache was back with a vengeance. The move was too difficult for him to comprehend. It was a sign that he didn't have enough talent to do it.

"No, I can't!"

The veins on his forehead throbbed incessantly and painfully. It threatened to pop under the strain. He gave up on it eventually.

"I can't do it! I don't have enough talent!"

His failure had upset him greatly. It made him sit down on the ground, needing to recover for three days.

"Wait a minute! Maybe the reason why I can't comprehend it is that there's something beyond the Genuine Domain Degree talent," Darren concluded.

He had always known that his talent could still improve. He just couldn't seem to break through the barrier that blocked him from reaching the next stage.

He never had the chance to get in touch with powerful people from the outer space. This was why he never knew if his suspicions were correct.

But now, he was certain that there was another level higher than the Genuine Domain Degree. Otherwise, how could the people from the Primitive Wilderness learn such powerful martial arts skills?

"Since my talent is not enough, I have to develop it more."

With that thought, he let his spiritual energy explore the mysterious crystal space within him.

It was there where the talent liquid from the different creatures Darren had killed and assimilated was stored.
