Chapter 7 The Barren Wasteland (Part One) (2/2)

? Try to think before you speak,” Corrine Gu said.

”Oops! I had forgotten about this! Ha-ha!” Kyle Zhang giggled as he turned to Corrine Gu. Apparently, he had a crush on her.

”Marvin, you are at the sixth stage. I need you to check,” Jared ordered Marvin Zhou, who hadn't participated in any fight so far.

”A piece of cake.” Marvin leaped into the air and flew forward.

”They are three Giant Fury Bears,” Marvin said from a distance.

”Do you need my help?” Jared was worried about him. Three Giant Fury Bears were freakily ferocious, and they were not easily defeated by a cultivator at the sixth stage, like Marvin Zhou.

”Thank you, Jared! But I can manage them alone.”

Marvin Zhou was fearless when facing the three bears. He hovered, like a ghost, between the three bears. The bears, however, were injured when Marvin flashed past.

”It's the Phantom Punch! That's a high-level martial arts skill. No wonder he's so confident.”

Darren also noticed Marvin Zhou's move. He had thought that three Giant Fury Bears were far beyond Marvin Zhou's cultivation base. But, the second Marvin Zhou summoned his martial arts skill, he put the three bears at a disadvantage.

'That's the power of martial arts skills. What a great leap! I haven't expected that a martial arts skill could improve one's cultivation base to such a degree. If I mastered the two top skills, how much would it enhance my cultivation base?' Darren wondered.

”Let me give you a hand,” Jared said. In the next second, he jumped into the air. Jared didn't want to waste their time in this fight.

Instantly, Jared's sword sliced through the three bears. They didn't even have the time to whine before their death.

”Bravo!” The others marveled.

”That's the power of the seventh stage! Brilliant, Jared! What superb swordsmanship!”

”Way to go, Jared!” Corrine looked at Jared with gentleness sparkling in her eyes. She was wild with joy.

Darren didn't have the time to think about anything. He rushed forward at once for fear that he would fail to absorb the talent of the three bears from far away. He could not afford such a significant loss.

'That's it!' Their talent gathered into one ball of yellow light and flew into Darren's head.

After a booming sensation between his ears, Darren felt refreshed from his brain to his feet. He had never had such a free feeling before in his entire life.

'I've got an upgrade! Am I at level four of the Yellow Degree now?' This thought gave Darren a thrill, but he still needed a test to confirm his speculation.

”Hey, man! You don't have to run like a hunting dog. The bears are dead meat. You don't have to worry that they will run away, ha-ha!” Kyle Zhang laughed at Darren when he saw how anxious Darren was.

”I am just carrying out my duty,” Darren answered as he removed the cardiac cores from the level five dead beasts' chests and placed them in the bag.
