Chapter 51 Tobys Request (2/2)
When the two battling creatures collided, a large amount of blood burst forth. With it came an explosive noise that was almost enough to rouse the dead.
”How terrifying it is…” The three survivors behind the giant rock trembled in terror. They did not expect such a fierce attack coming from someone whom they assumed was dead!
Cracks spread near the hundred-meter-deep crater. The tremendous forces of Darren and the beast were enough to rip everything nearby to shreds. Heavy smoke billowed straight up into the sky.
A long while passed, and the three survivors held their breath.
”I am still alive…”
murmured Darren as he struggled to his feet. He felt sharp, shooting pain from head to toe.

aintain public order of the city. On occasions like the Chu Clan selection, many other clans would attend the ceremony. The Governor's office usually sent a captain to host the ceremony and preserve order accordingly.
There were two reasons why Toby invited Darren. Firstly, he did so in order to express his gratitude and friendliness to Darren with a warm reception. Secondly, he could greatly strengthen the Governor's authority if he could invite such a superior master.
And of course, another important factor was that Toby feared that he could not convince strong elders from the attending clans.
Toby's heart raced wildly when he saw a weird expression come over Darren's face. How he wished he could slap himself! How dare he make such an unreasonable demand to this man of such a high status? Toby fitfully prayed that he had not offended the master with his careless and insatiable request. Irritating him after he had saved their lives was not his intention at all!
”Is it the Chu Clan selection?” asked Darren, to Toby's surprise.
Toby felt a little relieved. ”Yes. It is exactly that. Have you heard about them, master?”
Alison's face filled with anticipation upon hearing this response.
”Ho-ho, I once got well acquainted with a Chu member in the Ilmen Sect. I will go with you to have a look then!”
When Darren had reached this high stage of cultivation, he had not the slightest inclination of partaking in these so-called selections. The Chief of the Chu Clan was of no interest to him. Nowadays, memories of the humiliations he had received in the Chu Clan seldom crossed his mind. He chose to let bygones be bygones now that he was powerful enough to overpower all the Clan's members.
Yet when the middle-aged man invited him to host the selection, Darren felt it might be the time to return to his childhood hometown. He'd never thought of participating in the selection as a candidate though!
The three rejoiced over Darren's acceptance of their request. They gathered their belongings, preparing to head to Acqua City.
