Chapter 547 A Boring Game (1/2)

The warmth around the place started to increase, making sweats drip from Darren's forehead at once. With his legs crossed and his spirits in deep meditation, Darren sat firmly on the ground. He recalled repeatedly in his mind the scene when he first saw the guardian of the fifth floor.

Though the scene lasted only a quarter of an hour, yet it flashed in Darren's mind many times.

Just as he was in the act of meditation, at one and the same instant, Darren also recalled how he attacked the middle-aged man, in addition to a few brief conversations that they had earlier.

”No fight means that I cannot depend on skills.

I can't attack him, but he can attack me in return, and his power is far better than mine,”

Darren muttered while meditating, along with his calm and stalwart stature at the moment.

Sun, moon, and stars, together with the clouds that seldom brought forth rain, alternately dominated the sky. Days passed by so quick that it had been a month since Darren started his meditation.

”Oh! So that was it! I get it!”

Like a nocturnal owl that awakened from a whole day of sleep, Darren suddenly opened his eyes and released his inner power to shake the dust that accumulated and clung in his body.

Swoosh!

With his hands stretched resembling the eagle's wings, Darren swiftly flew down to the base of the high ladder.

”Huh? Do you want to barge in by yourself?” out of nowhere, the middle-aged man said dryly, breaking the silence with his raspy voice.

”If I don't give it a try, how would I know if I can do it? What do you think?” Darren asked while turning his head, waiting for the man's response.

”Please,” the middle-aged man said coldly while he was stretching his hand, pointing it towards the high ladder.

Swoosh!

Contingent upon the moment, Darren stepped on the ladder, took a deep breath, stooped a little, and ran up as quickly as he could.

Judging from the speed of his sprint, it would take him at least an hour to reach the end of the high ladder.

He was midway the ladder panting and almost out of breath when the middle-aged man caught Darren and pulled him down.

As an aftermath of such action, Darren fell from the high ladder. Down he went, almost to the starting point.

Considering the middle-aged man's potent strength in pulling Darren down, he fell on the ground with a sickening thud. But then again, he stood up calmly and patted the dust off his body.
