It seemed to Darren that upgrading his talent remained the key to escape.
"Okay, it won't be a good idea to keep busting random plans from nowhere. The dragon ancestor is wiser and might know what to do."
Darren racked his brains over it already. It was time to ask for the dragon ancestor's help again.
"Sir, it's an emergency..."
Darren's urgent voice woke up the dragon ancestor from his slumber.
"What? What's wrong? Who wants to kill you this time?" He cursed Darren for having powerful enemies—yet again.
"No, wait, it's not like that this time. Listen..."
In the following hour, Daren explained his unique assimilating power to the dragon ancestor.
Having heard the explanation, the dragon ancestor was silent for a moment.
"What an incredible ability! Amazing! You are the most potential cultivator in the world!"
"Tell me, what do you think I should do?" Darren asked worriedly.
The dragon ancestor meditated for a moment and replied, "I'm not really sure about what you should do. These things are a bit unfamiliar to me."
Darren was dumbstruck. It seemed that even the dragon ancestor didn't know what to do about it.
"Now, calm down. There's a method you might want to try. While comprehending that martial skill, try to refine the talent liquid at the same time," suggested the dragon ancestor.
During the comprehension process of the martial skill, Darren's headache actually meant a lack of talent.
It might be good to replenish his talent once his head began to hurt.
"How could I have missed such a simple trick? Let me give it a shot." Darren patted himself on the head. It was so lucky to have someone to enlighten him in dire times.
According to the method described by the dragon ancestor, Darren first tried to comprehend "Void Penetration." Once he started, the dull pain in his head came.
Darren drew out his spiritual sense and immediately entered the mysterious space. He then started to refine the talent liquid stored in the space.
"What in the world?" said Darren as he gave a hearty laugh.
"What's wrong? Have you gone insane?" His laughter unsettled the dragon ancestor. He was worried Darren might've lost his mind while forcing himself to learn the martial skill.
"Sir, you're a genius!" said Darren, reassuring the ancestor as he wiped tears out of his eyes from all the
d? That's unheard of."
"Don't forget that he's backed by a powerful master."
"You're right. That master's level is terribly high. If he willed it, he could quickly raise that kid to our level."
"Ha-ha, he has mastered five moves of the 'Void Penetration.' After he comes to the Primitive Wilderness, he will definitely become my disciple. This is great!"
Darren could clearly hear what the shadows were saying, but remained speechless. He was sure these old men wouldn't listen to him.
Darren was overjoyed with the talent upgrade, and he excitedly continued to comprehend the way to integrate his blade and sword with Void Penetration skill.
"I understand now!"
After his talent promotion, he suddenly gained clarity with the things he had trouble comprehending.
"I've finally made it."
After another half month's practice, Darren succeeded in integrating the five moves into the blade and sword.
"First things first. I need to get the hell out of here."
His ultimate purpose for practicing this martial skill was escape.
The blade and sword started hovering around Darren.
"Void Penetration! Blade and sword! Attack!" he shouted.
The sword and the blade began to quiver in unison. Then they ceased, but the result pleased Darren.
The intangible blade and sword intents silently cut through the void, breaking through the restrictions of the huge mountain.
In a swift move, Darren flew straight through the crack.
It was clear skies all throughout, and he landed right on the mountain's peak.
"I'm finally out of there!"
