Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 241 Bowen Versus Violet (Part One)

"It didn't occur to me that the young man who had been looked down on has such strong power. I guess we underestimated him a lot."

"Bowen was very low-key too. He only wore a common gray shirt. Do real talents tend to keep a low profile? Is that how they manage to become so strong without anyone noticing?"

The audience fixed their eyes on the battlefield. They were totally amazed at the tremendous power emitted from the three talents on the stage. Hot waves of energy kept fanning their faces, but they didn't dare blink for fear that they'd miss a spectacular technique.

The three talents had all started their cultivation from the beginning. Since they were geniuses in learning martial skills, they had spent less time in learning them. There was a good chance that each of them would be able to defeat all the other talents on their own. That was the difference between those three talents and the other participants. So most people were green with envy just with the thought of it.

"There are three people here. What should we do?"

Darren casually asked as he stood in the middle of the battlefield.

Since there were three people in the battlefield, the two of them would have to make an alliance to attack another person. After they successfully took out one person, the other two would then fight again to decide who was the winner.

"You two can band together and attack me. After losing, you guys can decide who is the number two and number three,” Bowen said with a smirk while a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. He was confident that he would win the battle no matter what tricks the others tried to pull on him.

"Ha-ha. Bowen, you are overestimating your own abilities," Violet replied with a sickly sweet smile on her face. Nothing about that smile seemed friendly or comforting.

She knew that the two young men were indeed powerful, but that didn't mean that she would cower in fear. After all, there was a reason she reached the finals. She had her own skills and advantages, too. She also thought that if two people collaborated with each other, it was with absolute certainty that the third person would lose in this battle.

Not only that, but she still had some great tricks up her sleeves. She made sure to save them for the grandest fight. With these tricks, there was a good chance that she could defeat both of them and emerge as the sole victor.

"How about me and Darren make an alliance to attack you first? Once we have disposed of you, we'll face each other,” Bowen mocked, his eyes flashing dangerously. Violet had insulted him, so out of anger, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind. He was pleased to see that his comeback actually worked.

"You are rude!" Violet shouted, her hands closing into tight fists. "What are you so smug about? Don't you forget that once the test is finished, all the skills that we learned will be deleted from our memories. Our strength will return to the same level as when we first accepted the test. The slate will be wiped clean of all new techniques. Don't be so arrogant. You may think you're strong, but you actually haven't reached anything worth bragging for. Are you afraid of the truth? Is that why you're trying so hard to seem stronger than what you really are?"

When the fourteen superior talents first entered the test, their strength was way ahead of the other competitors. Among the fourteen superior talents, there were a few who Darren couldn't defeat no matter how tough his body was. Violet was well aware that she was one of them.

Then the guy named Billy, who dressed in white, was now sitting below the stage. He was a superior talent who ranked number eighty-nine on the Talent Roll. A look of pure hatred suddenly flashed across his face as he stared at Bowen. He was just waiting for the test to be finished. Once that happened, he would get back at Bowen.

It suddenly occurred to Bowen that what Violet said was true. If they regained their real strength, it was virtually impossible for him to defeat Violet. As he weighed the scales and tried to count the things in his favor, he ended up changing his attitude and flattering her instead. "So what do you think we should do, Ms. Wang?"

"Humph. That's the kind of attitude you should have. Anyway, I figure we should fight together and eliminate Darren first."

"Why?" Bowen asked curiously.

Darren was astonished at this development.

"No reason. Just because he is really powerful at the moment,” Violet calmly replied, her eyes studying Darren's stature.

"Well," Bowen replied as he took a deep breath. "I'm afraid I have to disagree.” In the split second it took for Violet to digest his words, Bowen's fist was already flying towards Violet who was standing beside him.

"You!" Violet screamed, her voice ringing high in everybody's ears. "How dare you!" She was pushed back a few feet because of the force of the blow. She didn't look like she sustained great damage, but she was seething in anger.

Bowen shrugged nonchalantly. "No offense, but now that you said he is really strong, I suddenly have an overwhelming urge to fight him by myself." He wouldn't let an opportunity like this pass by. He worked so hard to improve his skills and strength, and now would be the perfect time to test it against a formidable opponent.

"Alright. Then I have to fight you first, humph!" Violet snorted rather coldly. She flew towards the sky, the wind caressing her hair.

"Sword Intent Flaming Skill!"

A soft-looking, almost transparent sword appeared in her hands. But as she wielded it in the sky, her powerful sword intent bore down on Bowen like a fierce beast.

"The skill she used is a supernatural sword skill in the martial world. It appears to have reached the high level. She really has great potential as a sword cultivator. However, her sword intent isn't good enough. She has not reached the high level of the preliminary sword intent,”

Darren commented in a low voice, seeing that Violet was also a sword cultivator like him. "Domineering Spear!"

Boom!

A long black spear suddenly appeared in Bowen's hands. As he gave out a roar, the spear emitted tremendous power and radiated towards Violet's sword intent. In a split second, her sword intent was broken into pieces. It then dissipated into the air as though it didn't exist in the first place.

His powerful spear kept on stabbing towards Violet.

She was totally dumbfounded as she felt the strong aura being emitted from his spear. Although the spear skill that Bowen used was also a supernatural martial skill, he was much more powerful than she was. She realized she was totally cornered. She wanted nothing but to get out of this situation.
