Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 367 The Future Of The Chu Clan (Part One)

Since these cultivators from the royal family had confessed to their crimes, Darren chose not to kill them. Instead, he imprisoned the offenders so that they could be interrogated with the other prisoners.

Later, Darren inquired about what had happened to the guard of the Martial Skill Library. He intended to rescue the guard as soon as he finished what had to be done here.

"Listen to me. Everyone must gather at the training ground now. Darren has some news to share with us.” Once the Chief Elder summoned all the clan members, they followed Darren to the training ground.

The members of the Chu Clan almost recovered from their wounds and injuries after absorbing the superior spiritual herbs. Now that they had also regained their freedom, many people had hot tears of gratitude and relief rolling down their cheeks.

While walking toward the training ground, Darren used his spiritual sense to communicate with Finley, who was inside the Ancient Void Battlefield.

"Finley, let me ask you a question. Do you know which of the martial arts skills that I collected in the Ancient Void Battlefield can be used in the outside world?" Since Finley had merged with the Shadow Emperor, it was fair to say that Finley knew a lot more than Darren. So, it was wise to consult him first.

"Well, theoretically speaking, none of those things can be used in the outside world. Previously, the rewards that were given to those who passed a test were specially transformed ones. Those skills could be used in the outside world. But, now the special ones are basically non-existence. However, I think there are other treasures that you can take out. By the way, why did you think of asking me this? Is there something wrong in the outside world?" Finley inquired. He was also a bit worried that something might have happened.

"Oh, nothing is wrong. Don't worry. I just want to leave my family members with something, you know." Darren's voice was soft. “Treasure is also good. Treasure is better than nothing, * he thought. Then, he started to search the treasures in the Ancient Void Battlefield with his spiritual sense. "Talent-upgrading Elixir? When did I get this?" In his big treasury, Darren found a chest that was full of pills that contained Talent-upgrading Elixir.

“This is wonderful, * Darren thought. The Talent-upgrading Elixir was a way better gift for his family members than any martial arts skills. After carefully counting, Darren found that he had over one hundred thousand Talent-upgrading Elixir pills. Every Talent-upgrading Elixir pill could upgrade a person's martial arts talent by one level. Considering the quantity and benefits, this chest of Talent- upgrading Elixirs was literally the best present Darren could think of.

Darren was dismayed when he remembered that a person could only take one Talent-upgrading Elixir pill in his or her life.

"Oh, no! One for each member only. What a shame. I wish I could remove this absurd limit,” said Darren, anxiously. Darren's expression amused Finley.

"Hey, buddy, why the face? Of course, you can break this limit. Though martial arts skills are not transformable, today is your lucky day, because I know how to alter the Talent-upgrading Elixir. The trick is using a person's force of control. As long as you inject your force of control into the pills, you can break the limit to... let me think... five pills each. Then, the Chu Clan members can each take five Talent-upgrading Elixirs in his or her life. Isn't that much better?" Finley puffed up with pride at being able to offer this solution.

"Really? Thank you, Finley. I am over the moon with joy! Let me try it!" Darren was beaming with pleasure. He started to inject a huge volume of the force of control into the Talent-upgrading Elixirs inside the chest. Suddenly, a cyan light was emitted from the pills. Perhaps some delicate restriction spell had been broken by Darren's action.

"Oh, that's enough, Darren. You don't want to inject too much force of control, or the Talent- upgrading Elixir pills will explode."

Hearing Finley's warning, Darren stopped and got the chest out of the Ancient Void Battlefield.

Out of thin air, the chest appeared in the sky above the training ground.

Shortly after, a loud noise echoed in the training ground, almost as if something heavy had fallen on the hard ground. When the dust settled, the Chu Clan members saw the chest. This was so abrupt that silence descended in the training ground.

"Oh my! That scared the crap out of me. What is that?" People started to whisper to each other, and their robes swished as they turned around uneasily.

"Be quiet. Darren wants to tell us something," yelled the Chief Elder at the noisy members of the clan. Because of the torture he had suffered before, he sounded very hoarse. It appeared as though he was not as strong as he used to be.

Then Darren showed up. He said, "My dear brothers and sisters and my respectable elders. I asked everyone to gather at the training ground because I believe it is necessary to make arrangements for the future of the Chu Clan. We must get stronger so that no one will bully us. Never again! And we need to work toward becoming the greatest clan in the 100 countries of the southern land.” Darren's voice was full of energy, and what he said excited everyone.

"The number one clan in the southern land? Oh, my god. I can't believe this!"

"Oh, isn't that the greatest news in the world? I almost fainted. Is Darren going to help cultivate a Wonder Realm warrior for the clan?" People started to wonder how Darren was going to deliver what he had just promised.

Then, to their surprise, Darren opened the chest instead of answering their questions. He pointed at the pills, took a look around, and said solemnly, “This pill is called the Talent-upgrading Elixir. Taking one means an upgrade in a person's talent by one level. And everybody can take as many as five in his or her life.”
