Chapter 676 Weapon Command Skills (1/2)

To reach the Holy Realm was the unfulfilled lifelong dream of many of the wisest and strongest of warriors.

Yet this runty old man claimed that he had only become a holy warrior by accident. In fact, he said that he used to be a farmer. Such an unlikely claim piqued Darren's interest.

”I was nothing special,” the old man began when asked to explain. ”One day I was just minding my own business, plowing my field, when I dug up a red fruit. I was hungry and thirsty at the time, so I just ate it without thinking twice.

As soon as I'd done so, however, I started feeling very strange—like the earth was collapsing in on itself, or time was unraveling. Ah, but there's no real way to describe the experience. All I know is that it scared the hell out of me at the time. So much so that I hid myself at home for a month. Ha!

In time, however, I came to understand what had happened.

When I ate that fruit, I directly acquired a superior Life True Rule, and my cultivation base reached the Holy Realm as well.”

Hobson's eyes shone with fascination as he listened to this. ”Wow, that's lucky. Such a boon to your abilities, and all you had to do was eat a fruit.”

”Indeed, I am fortunate,” said the old man, smiling. ”After investigating the matter later on, I became convinced that the fruit had in fact fallen from the outer space. It would be accurate to call it a divine fruit.”

”Tell me, sir, where are you from? Does that land still exist?” Hobson couldn't keep the excitement from his voice.

Hearing this, Darren rolled his eyes. ”Oh, come on, Hobson. You are a seven-star grand warrior, not a little boy. Don't start getting your hopes up over this.”

”Why not?” asked his companion. ”What if there are more divine fruits out there, waiting to be found?”

The old man shook his head as the two young men bantered. ”Stop daydreaming, young man,” he said with a chuckle.

Before it could go on, Darren smoothly changed the subject. ”But sir, by the way, if you're a junior holy warrior, why is your fighting power weak? You haven't explained that yet.”

”It's very simple. I don't have any attacking skills—never bothered to learn them. I don't care much for fighting and killing. So on the rare occasion that I might need to, I have only my physical strength to rely on.

On the other hand, I'm very good at keeping myself alive. If even a senior holy warrior wanted to kill me, he couldn't do it without his full strength. Can you guess why?” Saying this, the old man raised his eyebrows. He was quite proud of his power.
