Chapter 28 The School-choosing Convention (Part Two) (2/2)

”Ha-ha, Elder Alan, there's no conflict between the two before he cultivates the blade intent or the sword intent.” It was not that easy for Elsa to back down.

Hearing Elsa's words, a faint cold smirk climbed up Alan Mo's face.

”Alright, you two. Maybe he will choose the School of Spear Skill. I came here prepared. No one will refuse my generous offer. So be careful,” another elder interrupted.

”Let's wait and see,” said the elder of the School of Boxing Skill, Ezra, joining their conversation. ”Then the other talented young man Nelson must join my School of Boxing Skill. I stake my claim on him.”.

The selection process moved along speedily. Soon, more than half of the disciples had chosen the school they wanted to join. But Darren still hadn't moved yet.

In the corner of the yard, a pretty boy with wounds all over his body was watching the people in the yard with another handsome and calm young man.

”It's him! He's Darren, who scarred my face! How am I supposed to go outside looking like this?” the pretty boy wailed to his brother.

”I see. All right, bring the little boy here!”

Responding to the order, one of his subordinates brought a young boy who also had wounds over his body. The eyes of the boy were dull and unintelligent. There was also another man who was with him.

”Jimmy, think wisely if you are going to do as I say. If you refuse me, your foolish brother will die!”

”You evil bastards!” Jimmy shouted, his fury showing in the tightened, white knuckles of his fist.

”What? Are you going to disobey us? Don't forget that he's at the third stage of the Spirit Realm. You don't want to get yourself hurt, do you?” another man threatened.

”What are you waiting for, Jimmy? Give me your answer! Will you do as I ask?” With these words, the man stepped on the hand of the foolish young boy. The bones in his hand shattered with a gruesome crack.

”Brother, it hurts! It hurts so much!” The young boy cried out, holding the broken hand to his chest.

”Let go of my brother!” Jimmy ran towards them but was fought back by the man.

”If you don't go, I will chop off your brother's head!” With the threatening words, the young man held the boy's head in his hand. He could easily kill the boy with little strength.

”Wait!” Jimmy called, half kneeling in front of William Wang, ”Please don't hurt my brother, William! I will go immediately.”

”Ha-ha. That's right. This is a sword intent seed and a blade intent seed. You have to watch him cultivate them, do you hear me? And, act naturally. If Darren finds out what we're up to, you will lose your dear little brother!”

After this, the man called William Wang gave Jimmy two crystals, one was green, and one was purple. Then he gestured for him to go and find Darren immediately.

Jimmy had a painful look on his face. He thought for a short moment before making up his mind finally. Then he mumbled to himself, ”I am sorry, Darren. But I really have to save my little brother.”

He walked straight up to Darren, his resolve for his task hardening as he went.

”Well, Darren, you still haven't chosen a school?” Jimmy asked in a cool tone, his true intentions masked behind a calm demeanor.

Darren smiled after seeing him, then said, ”Yeah. I want to wait for a bit and see.”

”All the schools will be fighting for a talented young man like you.” Then Jimmy changed the subject. ”Oh right, Darren, I heard that you are cultivating both the sword skill and the blade skill. This is for you,” Jimmy said, extending his hand with the two seeds on it. ”This is a blade intent seed and a sword intent seed. They are priceless. The elders asked me to give them to you in secret. Even Nelson doesn't have them. Go on, cultivate them quickly!”

Darren stared at the two shining crystals, feeling a sudden curiosity.
