Talented Martial Hero

Everyone from the School of Sword Skill were all stunned for a while. No one had any idea who did it.

"Rick, Elsa is no longer the person she used to be. Her aura was so immensely intimidating that I almost could not stand being surrounded by it just now!" said the strong man who had been slapped by Elsa a while ago.

"Really? That almost seems impossible. Did Elsa come across anything unusual in her adventures? Is that why she returned with such talent and strength?" Rick said, his eyes widening in shock. If what the man was saying were true, then it would be totally unbelievable!

"Exactly. I was pretty rude earlier, thank god Elsa didn't argue with me, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here. I'd be dead for sure. Now that I think of it, it must have been Elsa who dealt with the several disciples from the School of Arrow Skill." Even several moments had passed after his encounter with Elsa, the strong man still felt a lingering fear that he could not shake off.

At first, Rick had thought Darren was responsible for it, but the strong man's analysis made more sense to him. At once, the fragments he knew about the events that had transpired started piecing together.

"Elder Thomas would surely be happy about it. He might even take revenge for us! Come on, follow me. There is no way we should let Elsa encounter Jerome. That would surely cause a lot of trouble.” As they moved forward, all of them were ecstatic and in high spirits.

No matter where they went, there was still no sign of Elsa. The only thing they saw was several wounded disciples of the School of Arrow Skill lying on the road.

From the several bodies lying on the ground, one caught their attention - a well-known cultivator at the seventh stage of the Spirit Realm. What immense power Elsa must have possessed if she was able to defeat someone with such advanced skills!

They could not stop wondering exactly what level Elsa had reached. But first, they had to find her before anything else.

Meanwhile, Darren and Elsa wandered along the track as if nothing had happened. As they were happily talking and laughing, someone approached them.

"Darren? Wow, it really is you!"

said the beautiful young girl who had suddenly walked up to Darren's side and interrupted their conversation.

"Fiona? Long time no see, how have you been? It's nice to see you!" Darren was delighted to see Fiona. It had been a while since they had last seen each other, and it was nice to see an old friend. "So this is the guy you were always talking about, huh, Fiona? Darren? The way you talked about him made it like he was out of this world. I have to say, I'm quite disappointed. He's not as nice as you made him out to be. He's pretty ordinary, to be honest. Besides, my silly girl, can't you see how close he is with that girl?" The ordinary-looking girl standing next to Fiona commented.

The moment her friend mentioned it, Fiona's eyes drifted towards Darren's hand which was holding the stunning girl's hand. The fact that they looked like a happy couple sent daggers towards Fiona's heart.

"Darren, who is this lady? You haven't introduced us yet, " Fiona said. Elsa, on the other hand, felt every bit as jealous as Fiona was.

"Elsa, this is my dear friend, Fiona. We entered the sect together before.” After Darren's introduction, an awkward atmosphere enveloped the three. Neither Fiona nor Elsa had any desire to say anything to the other, so Darren continued in an effort to lighten up the atmosphere, "You are both so intelligent and beautiful. Isn't it nice to meet each other?”

"Ha-ha." Fiona tried to smile elegantly, but her pretty, expressive eyes betrayed her. She tried her best to look calm and collected. "It is so nice to see that you are doing great. Anyway, I don't want to bother you anymore. I have to get going. After all, I still need to send the soup I stewed to Randy."

Hearing Fiona's words, the girl standing next to her peeked at her. "Soup? When did you...?"

And then, upon realizing what Fiona had meant, she stopped talking and looked at Darren disdainfully from the corner of her eye. "Of course, only a man like Randy would ever be worth of Fiona. Elsa, are you blind? What did you ever see in him? You're foolish for liking such a useless loser!”

"How dare you!" Elsa exclaimed in anger. That girl's mean words really grated on her nerve, and at once, her look turned cold.

The girl looked as if she was about to say something, but Fiona stopped her. "Please let it go. Darren and I are just friends, really. There's no need for anyone to argue about it at all.”

She could not bear to be there any longer, so she hurriedly turned around before anyone could see the tears falling on her beautiful face.

"Okay okay. I will stop. Fiona, you should have said yes when I introduced Randy to you in the beginning. He is such a genius! And Darren? He is just a loser. Some good for nothing piece of crap! I don't understand why you like him. He hasn't even reached level three of the Spirit Realm! You deserve to be with someone way better than him, so don't be sad anymore!

Besides the Five Schools Competition will be held in only a few days. Then, you will be able to witness how Randy beats all the crap out of the disciples from the School of Sword Skill!

There is not a single girl who wouldn't envy you for choosing Randy over that guy!"

Darren shook his head resignedly as the voices faded in the distance.

"Darren! That beautiful girl cried for you! So tell me, what exactly happened between you two?" Elsa teased, trying her best to hide the bitterness she was feeling inside.

"She's just a good friend. Nothing more, I swear." Darren smiled slightly.
