Lord Of Martial Arts

Now that the Gambling King had been taken away, Darren and his companions were truly relieved. There would be no one who would threaten and make trouble for them anymore.

With this, he was able to indulge himself in cultivation.

'I should continue cultivating with my half a scroll of the supreme sword skill first. I haven't mastered the third step yet, but my sword intent has already increased greatly. If I will be able to master until the sixth step, my strength should be unimaginable!' Darren thought to himself.

While he was pondering on these thoughts, his spiritual sense went into the Void Space.

His soul had gradually flown to the third step. However, this time, he wasn't attacked nor was he able to refine the sword intent of the third step. In short, nothing really happened, and this phenomenon bothered him.

However, Darren was determined, so he still continued meditating.

Time flew by quickly, and three months had already passed.

During that period, Darren kept on comprehending the third step, but to no avail. Even with the amount of time that he spent, this step remained a mystery to him.

"Well, forget it."

Darren let out a deep sigh and stopped meditating when he still accomplished nothing.

"What's the matter? Are you encountering a problem?" Murphy was already beside him the moment that he opened his eyes.

"Actually, yes. The sword skill is too abstruse that it's frustrating," Darren replied with a slight frown.

"Well, there will be times like that. In fact, sometimes you can only comprehend something by chance. For example, if I was not accidentally inflicted by the itchy poison, I would not have been able to make a breakthrough in my sword intent.

When I made a breakthrough in the sword intent that time, the barrier of my realm also began to crack. Sometimes, luck should also be by your side. If everything goes well, I may be able to reach the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm in about ten years," Murphy recounted.

"I see. Congratulations, Master Murphy! When you already reach the middle-level of the Celestial God Realm, your strength should be able to improve greatly." Darren felt genuinely happy for Murphy.

"You're right. I'm actually looking forward to it. When I reach that level, I plan to ask for a position in the headquarters of our sect in the Starry Sword Region. I believe that with my strength at that time, it will be a bit easy for me to be granted a position.

Oh, by the way, I'm returning this black armor. Please extend my gratitude to Lord Akbar when you meet him."

As Murphy took out the armor, his gaze was still fixed to it. He knew that it wasn't his, but he really yearned for it dearly. The armor could rank in the top ten among the most powerful defense-type divine weapons of the human race in the Primitive Wilderness. Thus, he knew that he didn't have the qualifications to own such a precious item.

this way. If we go there from outside, we will just be stopped by the restriction, and we won't be able to enter the city too," Murphy explained.

"Excuse me, sir. Can you tell us what is happening? Why are you blocking this point?" Murphy asked the law enforcers straightforwardly.

"We can't tell you," their leader immediately replied in a cold tone.

"Hey! Why are you guys being so difficult? Your master was the one who invited me and Darren for a cup of tea. So, why the hell are you telling us that we can't proceed?" Finley asked in a boisterous manner.

"Excuse me, you are Darren?" the leader asked as he glanced towards him. Darren was quite confused with the leader's sudden change of tone, so he just nodded politely.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you just now." The tone of the leader's voice instantly became more accommodating upon knowing that it was Darren.

"Now, can you let us pass?" Finley asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry but we still can't let you proceed. We were advised that there seemed to be an Archean Beast ahead. In order to prevent it from fleeing, we have secured the area. We can't lift the blockage until our general says so," the leader explained as calm as possible.

"Wait. An Archean Beast?" Darren's eyes instantly lit up. The Archean Age was an era after the Primeval Age. If what he was saying was true, the beast must have been living for more than a billion years.

He was so thrilled and eager to encounter such a rare beast.

"We're still not sure of it. If you want, you can wait here. The general is coming soon. He will be the one to lead the inspection of the area."

"Okay, we'll just wait. By the way, when he arrives, can we go and accompany him?" Darren asked expectantly.

"I can't answer that. You must ask the general himself."

With that, Darren and the others waited there in midair. About four hours after, a heroic figure suddenly descended in their midst.
