Chapter 34 Darren's Goal (Part One)

After Darren stopped transferring the vital energy, he felt much better. But some of his meridians had

been severely injured.

After he rested for a few moments, Darren tried to use the Meridians Refining Scripture to heal the

damaged meridians, but he failed. The two internal forces had broken his meridians, and it was

impossible for him to fix it.

"Am I going to stay a loser?" Darren was hopeless at the moment.

Darren frowned at the irony of the situation. He could use spiritual energy to improve his talent, but

once he had absorbed it into his body, it would turn into internal force and injure his meridians.

"Well, maybe I should take a break and solve the problem step by step," Darren said.

Convinced that a good night's rest would give him a fresh perspective, Darren went to bed early.

Although he was hoping to solve the challenge he faced, Darren felt disappointed that he could neither

absorb spiritual energy nor transfer vital energy.

……

Another night passed. Darren was woken by the sound of someone knocking at his door in the early

morning hours.

Darren hadn't slept well at night. He wearily rubbed his eyes, stood from his bed, and made his way to

the door. He frowned when he opened the door.

"Darren, I have brought the resources the sect has assigned to you. Come and take them," a disciple

standing at Darren's door casually said. The frown on Darren's face grew deeper when he noticed that

the disciple had a blank expression on his face. Then, without warning, the disciple threw a pile of

spiritual herbs in front of Darren.

"Humph. This is so ridiculous. What rules is the sect following? Why are they always giving a loser like

you so many resources? It is so unfair. What a waste!" Without waiting for Darren to reply, the disciple

continued murmuring to himself, "Every day, someone fights with another member for resources like

these as they are rare and precious. But the sect just gives them to you! I'm afraid that you will not

have the chance to enjoy them."

After finishing, the disciple cast a disdainful glare at Darren before walking away.

Looking at the pile of invaluable spiritual herbs, Darren forced a bitter smile. These medicines were

useless to him now.

He felt discouraged at the thought. Nevertheless, Darren pulled himself together, randomly picked a

spiritual herb from the ground, and started to absorb its spiritual energy.

The spiritual herb was very precious. It took a person at least twenty hours to absorb energy from one

herb. However, its effect was as good as a person spending half a month practicing skills. So, Darren

was tempted to try.

As soon as Darren began, a tremendous amount of spiritual energy flew into his body, turned into

internal force, and tore his meridians apart. The pain was so intense that Darren screamed in agony.

"Maybe I am doing something wrong. I could absorb spiritual energy from the cardiac core of the level

eight beast that day. Why do I have to absorb it from the spiritual herb like this?" Darren wondered. A

thought suddenly flashed through Darren's mind. After he grasped that special skill and knew how to

acquire spiritual energy from the cardiac core, he was elevated to a higher level and didn't have to

absorb spiritual energy like others.

When he was thinking about that, Darren felt a strange feeling being generated in his brain. In the blink

of an eye, the spiritual herb withered on his palm as he absorbed its spiritual energy completely.

The next few moments were going to be crucial.

Darren held his breath and concentrated all his attention on the task. He started to feel as though the

spiritual energy flowing through his body had turned into internal force. He was excited when he found

that the spiritual energy didn't transfer into vital energy and hurt him again.

Something was different this time!

"I can't believe it! I don't feel any pain!" Darren shouted.

Darren became excited when he found that after he had absorbed the spiritual energy and turned it into

internal force, it worked in harmony with his meridians and didn't damage his body.

"Although I didn't absorb enough energy from the spiritual herb, and the inefficiency of the transferring

process led to the loss of some spiritual energy, they can coexist." Darren was so thrilled that he

wanted to jump in the air.

But, he wondered whether these two internal forces would stay in harmony if he tried to transfer them

at the same time.

When he thought of that, Darren removed his sword from its sheath and threw it at an old tree beyond

his front door. After his sword embedded itself in the tree, a thundering sound was heard as the tree

collapsed.

As Darren watched the tree fall, he felt a slight pain in his meridians.

"l feel so much better than before. Probably because the internal force that I transferred from the

spiritual energy before, didn't hurt me this time," Darren rationalized.

After that realization, Darren wielded his sword and saber at the same time. He swung them frantically

as he wanted to spend his internal force as quickly as possible. He theorized that once he had

consumed the internal force he had already accumulated, he could acquire new spiritual energy

through assimilation, after which, the internal force would not hurt him again.

Almost an hour passed. By the end of the practice, Darren was soaked in sweat. He was so exhausted

from the intense process that he almost passed out. Although he was tired and his legs felt weak, he

was delighted with the result.

"This is so great! Although my meridians were injured after I used all my internal force, I will recover

from the injuries in less than a month if I can keep my meridians from further damage," Darren said.

Darren was excited.

In the meantime, he felt that the new internal force was stronger and more powerful than the vital

energy he had experienced before. Darren also understood that only after combining the internal forces

of the blade and sword could he maximize his internal force when attacking his enemy.

Darren found that he had become stronger than before!

Feeling empty inside his body, Darren walked inside his house. After picking up the spiritual herbs on Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

the ground, he started to absorb their spiritual energy.

After a little while, he had absorbed all the energy from the fifty superior spiritual herbs. Although the

internal force was only about one-tenth the quantity of the spiritual energy that he had absorbed from

the Heaven and the Earth, Darren was still satisfied with the result.
