Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 235 Entering The Ancient Void Battlefield

In the palace, the qualifying battles had finished. The participants were among the top five hundred talents on the Talent Roll. Fifteen talents won the battle, so they were qualified to enter the Void Battlefield. Finally, fifteen qualified talents, twenty-one recommended talents, and fourteen superior talents were summoned in front of the Void Battlefield.

All the other participants stared at Darren with disdain. Even Tom Yi, the superior talent of Skywalker Alliance, began to question his decision about allowing Darren to take Betty's place. He thought that he should have refused Boyce's appeal in the first place. He was worried about whether the elder would censure him or not if Darren failed.

Meanwhile, a lot of people discussed that since fourteen superior talents entered the battlefield, the other people would not have advantages in the test. The fourteen superior talents ranked relatively high on the Talent Roll. The lowest-ranked talent was number ninety-two, while the highest-ranked one was number eighty-one.

In the quiet courtyard, the masters prepared for the start of the proceedings.

"It is time to do the speech.” One of them used his spiritual sense to explore the Grand Void Manor. "Hmm. You know, I think we should send our shadows to do it. There is no need to go there in person. It's not such an important event,” another man replied with a faint smile on his face.

"Are you being too arrogant about it? Well, it sounds reasonable either way. Ha-ha. Brian, how about you go there?"

These people were none other than the Grand Realm warriors who the elder had mentioned before. A deep furrow appeared between Brian's brows. In a split second, a horrifying shadow emerged from his body and flew towards the Void Battlefield.

The intense aura suddenly emitted from the sky up above frightened the young talents. They gazed at the shadow that appeared in the sky with utter awe, their mouths agape in horror.

"Sir..." They murmured, not knowing how to address him

"It is nice to see you young talents here.” His commanding presence and authoritative voice caught everyone's full attention. Everyone was silent, waiting for his next words. Brian continued, "The Ancient Void Battlefield has opened. It happened so fast that there is not much time left for you guys to prepare. But you must try your best to make it through.

I only have one request for you. When you reach the eleventh round, bring out as many Primitive Stones as you possibly can.”

Hearing what Brian said, everyone felt giddy with excitement. It was the first time that most of the talents had ever heard a grand warrior talk to them. It was truly inspiring! When they heard the word "request", their faces grew solemn and resolute. They were determined to try their best to accomplish the mission.

"If you find a Primitive Stone, please bring it back to your respective alliance. Remember! For every Primitive Stone you bring back, we will give you a great reward and celebrate your triumph. As for the fifteen qualified talents who won the battle just now, if you guys can enter the eleventh round and get the Primitive Stones, please present them to the grand warriors. Right now, you can choose to whom you want to present the Primitive Stones.”

As Brian raised his hand, several names of grand warriors appeared in front of the fifteen talents. There were six other grand warriors, and each grand warrior was chosen by two talents. Since Brian had appeared in person, there were three talents who chose him.

Brian wore a weird smile on his face as he laid his eyes on Darren

"Young man, you don't belong to Skywalker Alliance, do you? You can also choose one grand warrior right now. After you make your choice, whether you can enter the eleventh round or not, the grand warrior you chose will still give you a reward.”

These talents who entered the Ancient Void Battlefield were working for the grand warriors. Whether they could pass the test or not, it was reasonable to reward them for their efforts. Any talent who chose to exert his efforts for a grand warrior would be richly rewarded. Those who accomplished the mission had even more extravagant incentives awaiting them

Before Darren could reply to his question, in the quiet yard, several grand warriors lost their temper. "Brian, you bastard. Darren already belongs to Chad. Why are you letting him choose a grand warrior? Are you doing this on purpose to spite him?"

"Ha-ha. You guys should remember that he might even choose me. We all have the same likelihood of being chosen." Brian wore a slight smile on his face.

"Humph. Is that young man really that bad? Since you guys don't want to take him, he's mine. I can certainly afford a few rewards. Shame on you guys,” Chad said sulkily.

After all, for grand warriors such as themselves, handing out rewards was not a big deal. They were just used to teasing with each other and didn't want to let go of even the slightest chance to have a bit of fun.

"Ha-ha. Congratulations, Chad. There is still a tiny chance that the young man might suddenly become extremely powerful in the test, and bring an abundance of Primitive Stones to you,” someone sarcastically said.

"Stop quarreling with each other. We are out of time. It's just a few rewards, we don't need to waste our time on it. And you guys are much too over-optimistic about the current situation. At the very least, the Ancient Void Battlefield has opened one hundred times. In recent history, only twenty people have managed to enter the tenth round. As of today, no one has ever been able to enter the eleventh. The situation is very tense right now.”

"That's right, the Ancient Void Battlefield has thirteen rounds in total. No one knows what is in the last two rounds. I'm also extremely curious about what secrets could lie beyond it. But the talent who can pass through the Ancient Void Battlefield doesn't seem to have been born yet.”

In front of the Void Battlefield, Darren had not made his decision. Seeing that Darren hesitated for a while, Brian prompted him, "Young man, Chad invited you to join his alliance. Do you want to accept his offer?"

"Darren, Mr. Chad Lou is the real leader in our alliance. Do you want to accept?” Boyce reminded him.

"Humph. If he accepts the offer, the only thing he'll do is to make our alliance look bad. What's the point of urging him to accept the offer, Boyce?" Don said disdainfully as he stood beside them. Darren planned to do it all by himself this time and didn't want to work for anyone. But since it was all because of those grand warriors that he had a chance to enter the Ancient Void Battlefield, he had to choose one of them. There was a good chance that they would not allow him to enter the battlefield if he refused. He had heard that the Ancient Void Battlefield had Primitive Stones. So he thought that if he could get in there, he might find something useful to him. He was really determined to enter it.

“The grand warrior named Chad is willing to choose me. No matter what kind of reason he has, there is no harm to accept his offer, * Darren quietly thought to himself.

"I will accept the offer. If I can get the Primitive Stones, I will present them to Mr. Chad Lou.” "Ha-ha-ha-ha."

Hearing Darren's serious statement, a lot of people burst into laughter.

The grand warriors had already known his real strength. How naive his ambitions were! Didn't he know how weak he was compared to all the other talents?

"All right. Bring them to the Ancient Void Battlefield,” Brian ordered. He turned into a shadow and disappeared in the air.

Dozens of elders of the Grand Void Manor appeared in front of them, emitting powerful auras. They transferred their power together and opened a huge door.

Those talents followed one of the elders and flew through the huge door.

Suddenly a broad wasteland came into view. The setting sun was low in the sky, and a blast of chilly air blew toward them. Some of the talents shivered with nervousness.

"Everyone, follow my lead. Right now, what you are seeing is the outer space of the Ancient Void Battlefield. Our destination is close at hand,” the elder who was leading the crowd explained.

They kept on flying in the sky until they reached a stone tower that was high up among the clouds. The elder gestured for them to stop, pointed at a narrow path and said, "That is the entrance of the Ancient Void Battlefield. After you enter its domain, you will have to undergo a serious of tests. Your real strength and power will determine how many rounds you can pass and how much treasure you can accumulate in the progress.

But don't feel distressed even if you don't manage to get anything. Your efforts are still appreciated and will be rewarded handsomely! For now, strive to grow stronger and do your best.

You should remember that the time limit is three months. Once that window is closed, you will be transferred out of here. I must remind you--never bite off more than you can chew. Before you want to enter the next test, know your true strength and make the right decisions. Otherwise, there is a high chance that your life will be on the line.”

After hearing the elder's advice, the talents all beamed with anticipation. At his signal, they all soared into the narrow gap, ready to face their destinies.
