Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 338 Fight To Heart's Content

Darren attacked Shane fiercely. He had thought that Shane had used his full power in previous attacks. However, it seemed that he still had other skills. Thus, Darren couldn't afford to be fainthearted and hesitant in action.

In fact, Darren had also hidden two unique skills—the Blood Dragon Phantom and the dark gold internal force. So, he wasn't too worried.

Whistle!

Just as Shane was about to release his most potent skill, several figures flashed past, like rainbows, and landed around Darren and Shane.

"Oh, these are two young men. I thought they were two grand warriors fighting against one another!"

"The lad looks under twenty. How could he be so mighty? We felt the blast wave of the battle seven hundred miles away."

"Brother, should we stop them?" one of the men asked as he looked at their leader, a man in his forties.

"No. They are so powerful. We'd better not provoke them. But, you can watch and learn before we return to the Heavenly Palace Sect,” the leader replied.

"Okay." The man nodded.

Four men had flown to investigate the battle when they felt the shock waves. After discussing for a while, they retreated far from Darren and Shane to watch their fighting.

Darren continuously suppressed Shane with his domain skill while directing violent blade and sword intent at his opponent. After a short while, it appeared as though Shane was weakening and not in a position to continue resisting Darren's attacks.

"Ha-ha. Good. You deserve to try my Spear Soul!"

Shane blurted. Then, he promptly spat a mouthful of blood essence on his black spear.

Darren's eyes widened as a sense of foreboding coursed through him. He wasn't as anxious about Shane as he was about the black spear in his hand.

"Let's see if you can defend against this! And remember, you forced me to use my skill, the Spear Soul! Nothing could suppress my Spear Soul except the domain skill displayed by a true grand warrior.

Crush him!"

Shane shouted. The black spear in his hand looked alive as it released a cold roar. Instantly, an overwhelming aura enveloped Darren.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten thousand spear shadows darted into Darren's domain.

The space trembled and shook violently. Streaks of lightning kindled by the spear shadows danced in the air.

Thunder!

A roar as deafening as thunder resounded in the space as Darren's domain crumbled after the attack by the formidable spear shadows.

What startled Darren more was that the force adhered to the black spear was endowed with such overbearing might.

In the distance, the onlooking overmatches were astonished as well.

"What terrible power. His Divine Weapon even contains a soul. He can't be a nobody among the younger generation.

I know who he is! That's the Spear Soul. He belongs to the Chasm Clan!"

the leader surmised. As he was a supreme disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect, he knew a little about the geniuses of the Chasm Clan. Staring at the lively and vigorous black spear, he recalled that the man was Shane, who ranked at the twentieth position among the young geniuses of the Chasm Clan.

Now that the supreme disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect had identified the young man holding the black spear as Shane, he became curious about the young man with the blade and sword intent. He was interested in learning who this young man was as he had forced Shane to use the Spear Soul!

"The other young man is also very powerful. He even forced Shane to use his special skill,” one of the other three men voiced his surprise at Darren's power.

"That's right. Last year, the Heavenly Palace Sect and the Chasm Clan held a competition among the geniuses of both sides. Even when fighting with Carlson, he didn't use the Spear Soul. In this case, Shane's opponent shouldn't be underestimated,” another man added.

"Since this young man uses both the blade intent and sword intent, could he be Darren, who has become well-known in recent days?" one of the men wondered.

"Oh! You're right! He must be Darren. I heard he was on friendly terms with Elder Star. If he is defeated, we can save him. Elder Star has helped us a lot before we were promoted as supreme disciples,” one man suggested

"Okay. It appears as though he won't be able to defend for too long. Let's get ready and wait for the right time," the leader of the disciples from the Heavenly Palace Sect suggested.

However, just when they thought Darren was going to lose, an amazing thing happened.

"The Blood Dragon Phantom!"

Darren shouted the moment he felt he was weak enough to collapse. Instantly, his eight avatars appeared.

Boom!

The avatars, along with Darren, simultaneously released intense attacks toward Shane.

"What a superb skill! I never thought that you would have such an incredible skill!" Shane gasped in admiration. Meanwhile, he intensified his assaults. He roared, "All you've done is buying some time. Ultimately, you will fail!"

Roar!

The black spear in his hand snarled like a beast. In harmony with Shane's potent fighting intent, his power finally reached its peak.

"The second degree of the Spear Soul!

The Deadly Spear Skill!"

Shane bellowed. The power of the spear in his hand was enhanced further as another legendary martial skill complimented it. The combined released forces headed for Darren at full speed. Without delay, Darren sent his avatars to resist them. However, two of his avatars were killed by the might of the Spear Soul.

"It's too late!"

Darren cried out. Threatened by the bloodcurdling force, Darren commanded his spiritual sense to fuse with the remaining avatars. Otherwise, he and the avatars would be killed in one blow.

"Ah! What's that skill?"

"It is unbelievable. He has fused with his avatars! Darren is powerful beyond my imagination!”

The supreme disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect were all dumbstruck with amazement at the sight of Darren's fusion with his avatars. Now, his aura was so strong that it made their hearts beat faster. "The young men are so evenly matched that it is difficult to foretell who will win!" the leader of the supreme disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect sighed. Awe flashed in his eyes as he watched them fight. The leader also made a comparison in his mind. If he confronted Darren, his odds of winning were lower than fifty percent, for he knew that he couldn't defeat Shane when he used the Spear Soul.

After fusing with his avatars, Darren's aura turned stronger in a second. His eyes were cold as he glared at Shane.

At the moment, it felt like the last hour had come—the earth trembled, and the mountains swayed as gloomy clouds filled the sky and blotted the light on the ground.

"Your Spear Soul is just so-so!" Darren sneered. His blade and sword intent rushed out to grapple with the black spear. Moreover, it seemed like the blade intent and sword intent were sharper than the spear.

"Damn it! Kill him!" Shane howled, no longer as calm as before. Since Darren had managed to withstand his unique skill, Shane was both astounded and wrathful.

However, at the point, his desire to win the battle increased manifold. What such a close battle required was enduring fighting capacity. Shane was convinced that he would win if he persisted. Darren and Shane continued to fight for at least another four hours after releasing their superior skills. Afterward, the battles result was still doubtful as both contenders stood in their corners of the battlefield, bruised and wounded.

"I feel so great!" Darren called out. He didn't worry much about his wounds. What was important to him was this experience of fighting against a worthy competitor against whom he could unleash his skills to their fullest potential.

"Humph. Your power is still decreasing. You will lose if we continue. But, we don't have to reach that point just yet. If you admit defeat, I promise I won't kill you,” Shane suggested. A sense of relief flooded him when he realized that Darren's power was decreasing faster than his.

"You must be kidding. I'll never admit defeat! I am enjoying fighting against you. I won't take your life, either. But you'd better behave from now on!" Darren responded with a sneer as the dark gold internal force surged high in his body.

"Eh?" Shane was stunned when he felt a horrible force. "Does the lad have yet another unique skill?" With that, Shane suddenly turned pale as despair coursed through him.

In the next instant, he saw a dark gold force tear a piece of the void before heading toward him. "Gosh! I'm done,” Shane muttered to himself, going as white as a sheet when faced with the unrivaled dark gold force.
