Lord Of Martial Arts

"Ha-ha," Darren chuckled sarcastically. "Did you really think it'd be that simple?"

"Then what do you want?" the Purple-crystal King asked exasperatedly.

"Only two things. First, share all the secrets about becoming a chief god with the Rule Soul Avatar. Second, stand by my side and solve any troubles that come my way," Darren proposed.

"No way in hell! How would that make me any different from a slave?" The Purple-crystal King shook his head profusely. He could deal with sharing his secrets with the Rule Soul Avatar, but he couldn't stand the idea of being Darren's slave.

"Think it over. If you could really become a chief god one day, you wouldn't be bound by any vows," Darren reminded. He meant to say that as long as the Purple-crystal King became a chief god, he would be completely free. He could even kill Darren if he was capable of doing so.

The Purple-crystal King paused, successfully swayed by Darren's words.

In the mortal world, his growth was stagnant. It was already difficult for him to break through to the Star God Realm, not to mention the higher realms.

But if he could return to the Primitive Wilderness, he would have the chance to grow quickly. Moreover, it would be possible for him to collect the other parts of the Chief God Character and become a chief god recognized by heaven and earth. By then, nothing could get in his way, unless the strongest Balance Law in the Primitive Wilderness descended.

"Okay then. I agree to your terms." The Purple-crystal King nodded after thinking it over.

"You're wise. Swear your allegiance to me first. Then, when you go to the Primitive Wilderness later, you can swear to the Rule Soul Avatar."

Darren knew his plan was foolproof. When they arrived in the Primitive Wilderness, the Rule Soul Avatar and the Twelve Great Witchers would be able to determine whether the oath made by the Purple-crystal King was effective or not. If the oath was invalid, Darren, the Rule Soul Avatar and the Twelve Great Witchers would kill the Purple-crystal King on the spot and then take the fragment of the Chief God Character.

Since he had made up his mind, the Purple-crystal King didn't hesitate any further. Right then and there, he made an oath according to Darren's requirements.

"All right. From now on, we are allies," Darren declared firmly. "The first order of business: to destroy all the purple-crystal creature

fire if Darren got angry, they scolded the child.

"Just because you're useless and can't open your meridians to begin the cultivation, don't get us involved in your stupidity, Hurst Chu!"

"Yes, if I offended you, forgive me. Please don't kill me. I have an eighty-year-old mother who needs me. Please forgive me."

Many people begged for mercy from Darren out of fear.

"Alas," Darren sighed again. He hadn't thought the Chu Clan on the Lothlann Continent would stoop so low.

"Hurst, listen to me. I'm Darren Chu, an ancestor of the Chu Clan. I order you to become the patriarch of the Chu Clan and to take charge of all the affairs of the Chu Clan on the Lothlann Continent," Darren said to the boy bluntly.

"Darren Chu?"

The child named Hurst Chu was stunned. Every member of the Chu Clan was familiar with that name. Darren was the number one genius of the Chu Clan, and Hurst Chu's childhood was filled with stories of the famed Darren Chu.

"Impossible. Ancestor Darren became a god and went to another world a long, long time ago. Humph! Don't lie to me!" he huffed indignantly.

Darren smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Just do as I say. There is one more thing I have to say. No matter how strong you will become in the future, don't do anything evil. Otherwise, I will punish you. Remember my words!"

When he was done speaking, Darren took out some magic herbs and put one hand on Hurst Chu's shoulder, intending to completely open up his originally blocked meridians.

In a flash, dazzling colorful light burst out from Hurst Chu's body.
