Chapter 859 A Bet (1/2)

”Darren.” Scott called out his name. His pleasure was evident on his face.

Darren could not help but reflect back that same joy upon seeing Scott again. It had been decades of years since they last saw each other. ”Long time no see, Scott.”

Although they were both pleased to see one another again, now was not a good time for small talks. Their brief greeting had to suffice as they faced all the elders in the hall.

Chandler gazed at Darren's face for some time. His eyes were gleaming with appreciation.

”So you're Darren that everyone's talking about?”

”Yes, sir.” Darren confirmed.

”I've always wondered how come you've become a rival of those senior holy warriors if you're still at a lower level? Is it because of your bold and impulsive personality? Or is it really because you are capable enough? Let me see what kind of strength you possess.” From the other side of the hall, the senior holy warrior Leighton watched Darren intently. He released a steady stream of spiritual sense to probe over Darren.

Suddenly, he cried out, full of wonder. ”What the hell? What a weird and uncanny aura this fellow has! I can't even get through it and check his cultivation base.”

Noting Leighton's futile attempt to get through Darren's aura, the other senior holy warriors joined in as well. Together, they released their respective spiritual senses.

Among them was Chilton. In his case, he also used a strong suppressing force in the hope of breaking through Darren's aura.

But Darren only snorted at Chilton's efforts. His intimidation tactic wasn't working on him. With that, he let out his own powerful spiritual sense and dashed towards Chilton. It all happened so fast that Chilton could not help but draw back by the force.

The entire area fell in a shocked silence. Nobody moved or spoke. Darren's strength was unexpected and had caught everyone off guard.

Horror and rage devoured Chilton. His face twisted in rage and fire flared in his eyes. He was supposed to humiliate Darren in front of all these people, but his plans had backfired.

It took a moment for him to calm down. ”You little rogue, it seems like you've been training hard recently. Do you remember what we agreed on? Since you didn't die outside, we should fulfill our agreement and have a fair fight now. What do you think?”

Despite Darren's sudden display of powerful spiritual sense, Chilton still believed that he was more powerful than the younger man in martial arts skills.

Darren only shook his head. ”As much as I want to end this right now, I'm afraid I have to refuse. I'm not foolish enough to set aside the crisis we're currently facing.”

But Chilton would not stand for this. ”Are you backing out on our bet, you little rascal? You piece of trash truly belong to that trashy Sacred Palace.”
