Nobilis of War

Chapter 71 Sword Core

Darren casually nodded his head. Even though the battle had left him injured, he had regained his

cultivation base, so he was able to use the spiritual energy to heal the wounds and prepared himself for

the next test.

Elsa, who was standing beside him, had mixed feelings. Confusion and joy rushed through her when

she fixed her eyes on Darren. But she swallowed her emotions and walked up to him.

"Darren, that Talent-upgrading Elixir is extremely precious. And it will be extremely good for you. You

should take it," Elsa softly said. She stretched out her hands and gave it to him. Her words were filled

with tenderness and sincerity.

Hearing her, Mathew couldn't help but laugh. "You two are such a good match. It is nice to see you

guys loving and caring for each other. If I were not an avatar, I would take it without hesitation.

I have seen numerous couples who have constantly fought with each other over these trifles. But you

two have always been polite and considerate towards each other. I believe that you and Darren are a

perfect match for each other," Mathew added.

"Sir……" After hearing his words, Elsa felt her cheeks flush red, and stammered, "That's not how it is.

He's like a brother to me. That's all."

While she was saying this, she couldn't help staring at Darren. She was anxious to know how he would

react.

"Yes, Sir. We are not a couple. Elsa is just like my sister. Please stop making fun of us," Darren

explained.

Mathew glanced at them with a brief smile and didn't say anything more.

But Elsa, who on the surface looked composed, felt a wave of disappointment wash over her. She

stood still and silent, her heart aching.

His remark was followed by an embarrassed silence. Seeing that Elsa didn't say anything for a while,

Darren was utterly confused about what had just happened. So to break the silence, he walked up to

her and said, "Elsa, you had better take that pill. If you insist on giving it to me, I will have no choice but

to force you to swallow it."

"All right. I will take it. Thank you so much, Darren," Elsa softly said. Looking at Darren's serious face,

Elsa thought that it would be hypocritical of her to refuse him again. She nodded her head in

agreement and accepted the pill.

Elsa swallowed the Talent-upgrading Elixir immediately, sat down on the ground with her legs crossed,

and began to absorb the essence from the pill.

Darren followed suit in order to begin to cure his injuries.

'Hmm. The sword intent has become so intense after I absorbed it from the Purple Thundering Sword.

It's so powerful that my meridians are unable to sustain it, ' Darren thought to himself. Darren came to

this realization after he found that the sword intent, which flowed freely inside his meridians, had grown

sharp all of a sudden. When he sensed the change, he instantly transferred the sword intent toward his

cinnabar field.

'Ah! What happened? The sword internal force that was contained inside my body has begun to

transform into something different!' Darren mused.

As Darren started to transfer the sword intent toward his cinnabar field, it kept on circling around. The

sword internal force began to undergo a radical transformation. The entire process was so intense that

it caused a stabbing pain in his meridians.

But Darren didn't stop. Instead, he kept on observing the happenings in his cinnabar field.

'Huh? The sword intent is swirling frantically in my cinnabar field right now! I'm just now remembering

that I had the same experience when I absorbed the demonic internal force! This means that…' Darren

quietly thought.

Darren grew giddy with excitement at the thought of it. With this, he began to transfer the sword intent

urgently.

Quickly, an hour had passed.

'Ha-ha, it is just as I expected. A great deal of the sword intent flowed into my cinnabar field, formed

into a small orange sword, and appeared around the demon core, ' Darren thought to himself.

Darren was delighted at the experience. He guessed that the orange sword was condensed into sword

core, and that it was similar to the demon core. He felt that he had elevated to a higher level in

cultivation and would be more able to absorb the sword intent from now on.

"Ahhh." Darren took a deep breath and managed to turn on the sword core. He wanted to see how it

would work.

Meanwhile Elsa, who had swallowed the pill, observed the strange movement of her body as she

breathed.

Suddenly, rays of green light were emitted from her body. A gust of wind fiercely blew across the

ground, enveloping her in it.

A fierce sword intent was shooting outside from her body violently. It made her feel so comfortable that

she wanted to shout.

"The injuries caused by the sword intent have been healed. Right now, she is improving her talent,"

Mathew observed. Mathew was very fond of them. Seeing that Elsa had improved her skill, he was

sincerely happy for her.

When he turned to look at Darren, he was even more taken aback. After Darren turned on his sword

core, his powerful move caused quite a stir and rippled the surface of the lake. Numerous sword intents

howled across his body fiercely.

"What! Darren was able to condense the sword core?" Mathew gasped.

Mathew was in total shock. He felt the sword intent that gushed out from Darren's body flowing toward

him fiercely. He shuddered as he sensed this almost frightening surge of power.

Mathew's avatar wore a slight smile on his face as he turned towards Elsa. He murmured to himself,

"That's great! Now, let me help you guys."

The avatar instantly stretched out his hand, put his fingers together and made a gesture that looked like

a sword. After he waved his hand toward Darren, the sword intent that was gathering around Darren

flew towards Elsa fiercely.

This process continued for about two hours. As it completed, Darren suddenly opened his eyes with a

piercing look on his face. His eyes now felt sharp as a sword, feeling as though they could cut through

steel.

"Thank you so much, Sir," Darren stated. Darren looked at Mathew before bowing deeply. He was

immensely grateful. Just moments ago, he had been so afraid when the frightening sword intents flew

towards him all of a sudden. It was certain that he would not have been able to sustain such intense

power and the force of the sword intents would have made him explode in the blink of an eye. It was

Mathew who had saved his life.

When he had been in a blind panic at the thought of it, he had suddenly felt that the sword intent was

being deliberately transferred. It could only have been done by Mathew.

"You are welcome. Although I am just an avatar and don't have enough strength, I have grasped the

premium sword intent as a swordsman and was able to help you transfer the preliminary sword intent,"

Mathew explained.

"Besides, it can also help Elsa. Don't mention it. It was my pleasure," Mathew added.

Darren nodded his head and thanked him again. Then he got up and looked toward Elsa.

Elsa, who was beside him, was still absorbing the sword intent.

"Girl, you're almost done. Hurry up and transfer the sword intent into your cinnabar field and turn it into

the core!" Mathew reminded her.

She did as he had told her and transferred the sword intent which was filling inside her body into her

cinnabar field and began to condense the sword core.

Fifteen minutes later, Elsa opened her eyes. She wore a look of glee on her face

"I did it! I did it! Thank you so much, Sir!" Elsa exclaimed. Elsa felt that a small red sword was formed in

her cinnabar field! She jumped up and down with excitement.

"That's great! According to my observations, Darren has condensed an orange sword core, and you

have a red one. From now on, you two are genuine talents in swordsmanship. Congratulations!"

Mathew said proudly. He nodded his head with satisfaction. It was not every day he came across

talents like these!

"Sir, why are our sword cores different colored? What does that indicate?" Darren asked. Darren knew

that it was important.

"Don't worry. Let me explain it to you," Mathew casually replied. Touching his white beard, he slowly

said, "Every strong swordsman desperately hopes to condense a sword core. Generally speaking,

when you reach the Wonder Realm, you will be able to condense one. Because by this time, you would

get a chance to grasp the Omnipotent Talent Skill. And ninety-nine percent of the sword cultivators

seize that chance to condense the sword core.

Right now, you guys have condensed the sword core before you elevate to the Wonder Realm. It

shows that you two are super geniuses and have made your mark in the whole world. And the sword

core can be graded as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple. Generally speaking, when

you reach the Wonder Realm and condense your sword core, basically it will be yellow or above, which

can emit stronger sword intent for the cultivator.

Darren, you have condensed an orange sword core. When you elevate to the Wonder Realm, you will

have a chance to intensify it further. When that happens, it will turn into green at the very least, or even

purple, Elsa, although you have the red sword core which is a little inferior to the orange, you still have

immense potential. When you reach the Wonder Realm and start to intensify your sword core, you will

still be far superior to those with normal and mediocre sword core in the same realm. But you should

put more effort into your practice and really do your best to improve your talent," Mathew kindly said.

Hearing Mathew's detailed explanation, Darren and Elsa grew extremely excited.

"Thank you for telling us all this, Sir! I am ever so grateful for your wise counsel. You are such a worthy

master of the Grand Realm with an incisive mind," Daren replied. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

He and Elsa bowed deeply, expressing their gratitude.

"Ha-ha!" Mathew laughed. Mathew shook his head and said, "Due to my stubborn brother, I was able to

get such detailed information. He also condensed the yellow sword core before he reached the Wonder

Realm."

At this, Darren was surprised. Mathew said that his brother had condensed the sword core before he

reached the Wonder Realm. This implied that his brother was much better and stronger than he was.

Seeing Darren's reaction, Elsa turned around and said, "Darren, Mr. Xiao's brother is also a master

who reached the Grand Realm. Perhaps you have heard about him before. People call him Hanson

Xiao."

Ah!

Darren suddenly felt dizzy. Were they really talking about the legendary cultivator who practiced his

sword and saber skills at the same time?
