Nobilis of War

Chapter 21 Belle's Leaving

The ending was really unexpected. Nobody had thought that Darren would become so strong.

Nicholas and the others were quickly carried away to be treated. To be honest, Darren had actually

held back in throwing his punches. If he hadn't, he could have killed all of them.

Darren was strong, but he was not stupid. He knew that they all had powerful forces backing them up,

and if he had actually killed them, then those forces would gang up on him and eventually overpower

and kill him, even if he was a disciple of the Ilmen Sect.

"Darren, don't you think you went too far?" Darren's uncle Reed was so furious that his face actually

turned a shade of purple. His son was badly hurt and was still in a coma because of Darren, and there

was no way he was going to let him get away with that.

"They're the ones who have gone too far," Darren replied with no fear. Nicholas and his gang had

showed aggressive behaviors a couple of times, and everyone knew that. They were all well aware of

who was right and who was wrong.

"Reed, no more about this matter. It's just a game. A little injury is not a big deal," said the Chief Elder

as he stood up.

"Humph." Despite his anger, Reed couldn't contradict the Chief Elder, and so he kept his silence after

letting out a light snort.

Mark, on the other hand, looked awful but didn't utter a word as well.

They all lost face entirely in front of the elders.

"Well, now we, the Chu Clan, have a genius like Darren. It's a great honor that is worth celebrating.

This is a call for celebration! Lay out a great three-day feast starting from tomorrow immediately," the

Chief Elder ordered.

The elder's words also signified the end of the event.

The Chief Elder approached Darren and said, "It was my wrong judgment that caused you to be treated

unkindly. I hope you don't mind it too much, Darren."

The others around them could only stare. None of them could believe what was happening, so they

could only stand there with their mouths agape. Given how powerful and noble the Chief Elder was,

was he actually apologizing to Darren himself? How could that even be possible?

The Chief Elder's words only proved even further how in that world, only the geniuses were rewarded

with respect.

Darren's expression relaxed a little bit, then he said coldly, "If you have nothing else to say, I should go

back. My sister is still seriously hurt."

Without saying another word, he turned his back on the elder, leaving everyone there speechless and

astonished.

"Sure. Hurry up, take some healing medicines. And escort Evan Chu to the criminal office. I will judge

him myself," the Chief Elder said. He hoped that this way, he could clear away some of Darren's

resentment towards the Chu Clan.

...

Standing in the chill courtyard, Darren looked up at the sky and sighed with endless emotion. If he

didn't have the experience from that adventure, the talent, and the strength, he would have surely died

defenseless and oppressed.

Ever since his talent was unfolded before the public's eyes, the people around him all began to hide

their true colors and started to change their attitudes towards him. Even the Chief Elder apologized to

him. Despite the benefits he was getting from the special treatment, it all felt rather ironic and

disgusting to Darren.

'In the world of martial arts, talent is everything. Strength is everything. I still have to remain vigilant.

There are countless talented people in the Ilmen Sect, and there still might be people who can surpass

me.'

Darren was well aware that gaining the Assimilation Skill was just another opportunity. The real goal

was to keep striving and growing stronger until nobody could surpass him.

What was more, he believed that his father's death could not have been a coincidence. Therefore, he

resolved to find out the truth the moment he had the chance.

Almost unconsciously, Darren opened the door to the room where his sister was. The moment he laid

his eyes on his sister, he could not help but think that his sister had only been sleeping.

He entered the room, looked at his scarred sister, and felt a pang of sadness.

"Unfortunately, my sister's talent for martial arts is too low. From now on, the only way I can protect her

is to have her by my side all the time."

''Rat-tat."

Someone knocked on the door. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Come in," Darren muttered, turning his face towards the door.

"Mr. Darren, these are healing medicines. The elder ordered us to bring them to you. Each one of them

is invaluable. Would you please take them? Elder also added that you can rest assured. Evan won't get

away without a heavy punishment." A couple of servants, who had once spoken ill of Darren and

treated him badly, looked at this super genius and trembled in fear, scared that he would remember

what they had done to him.

"I got it. Now get out," Darren said, paying little attention to them. To him, they were irrelevant. All that

mattered in that moment was his sister.

The servants retreated and scurried away.

Darren picked up one pill and looked at it with contempt, "What a priceless pill! Not only can it cure the

injury, but it also contains enormous spiritual energy. Well, well, so this is what they use. There is no

way I could have had access to this before. Not to mention that the elder even asked someone to bring

it to me."

How obvious the disparity was. People with great talent were always considered superior and given the

special treatment.

Darren hurriedly got one medicine out and helped his younger sister take it. He then mobilized his

internal strength to help her digest the medicine.

"Gosh, what's this? Belle's meridians are badly blocked."

Darren perfectly understood the Meridians Refining Scripture, and so he could easily tell when

something was wrong, and something was definitely wrong with her sister.

"Is that the reason why my sister's talent is so poor? I guess it's worth a shot. I'll try the Meridians

Refining Scripture."

Darren then began to take action. At once, he performed the Meridians Refining Scripture on his sister.

Darren concentrated as much as he could. He inspected Belle's meridians one by one. And then he let

out a stream of vital energy that flowed in her body and began to refine her meridians.

"Gosh. More than 700 meridians are blocked, no wonder Belle's talent in martial arts is so poor."

Darren then began to use the Meridians Refining Scripture to unblock Belle's meridians gradually.

Like the dummy from that day, drops of black filth came out from her body. Darren then transfused a

stream of vital energy and made it repair his sister's meridians.

After four hours of refining, her meridians finally started to be unblocked.

"Ah."

Suddenly, Darren felt something unusual. As he was performing the Meridians Refining Scripture on his

sister, his own vital energy began to pass into his sister's body. Suddenly the vital energy's flowing

speed became faster and faster, just like an actual stream.

"Wow, Belle's meridians are so broad. I can't believe this. So how strong could she actually be?"

Darren muttered to himself, "She must be extremely powerful as well."

While Darren was lost in thought, Belle started to wake up. The medicine's healing effect was actually

pretty good. In only four hours, almost all of the scars on her body had almost disappeared.

"Brother..." The moment Belle opened her eyes, she immediately saw her brother. She was so happy

and relieved that she almost burst out crying.

"Belle, don't move. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here now," Darren comforted tenderly.

In that moment, Belle became aware that there was a stream of vital energy flowing inside her body.

Knowing that her brother was healing her, she did not dare to move.

As Darren continued his healing, he got more and more confused. He went as far as absorbing spiritual

energy in order to transform it into vital energy that he could use for Belle. But her absorption rate of his

vital energy was too fast for him to be able to provide an adequate supply.

'Does my sister also have the talent of the Black Degree?' Darren thought. ...

Darren felt immensely drained.

'I have to stop for a moment. At this rate, my own meridians will get impaired too," Darren thought to

himself. Darren stopped healing his sister.

He gave Belle the pills brought by the servant, and helped her take them one by one. Thankfully, the

vast spiritual energy the medicines contained was exactly enough to supply the energy needed, given

Belle's absorption speed.

"Belle, close your eyes and adjust your breath. Quickly," Darren urged.

Belle didn't know what had happened. But her brother's tone made it seem like it was important, so she

did as she was told.

In that moment, Belle looked like a stunning fairy who had extraordinary charm and an otherworldly

transcendence.

"What... What's going on?" Darren asked. He was astonished, but he had the feeling that something

good was about to happen.

Clank, clank, clank...

Suddenly, a vast surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured down and refined Belle's

body.

...

At this moment, a delicate figure appeared from the clouds, its eyes focusing on the Chu Clan.

"Wow, it seems like someone's gotten refined by spiritual energy! Congratulations!"

The figure wearing a white dress flew down gracefully. She looked extraordinarily beautiful. So beautiful

that the people looking at her could barely believe their eyes.

From where he was standing, Darren watched his sister undergo some changes. Before he could say

anything, his sister vanished from his sight. Shocked and confused, Darren ran out of the door to find

his sister.

And then, Darren saw his sister floating above the clouds.

"Hello, my little friend, I'm so lucky to have met such a gifted girl today. Don't worry. I'll never hurt her.

She's going to have a great future with me. If you want to see her at any point in the future, you are

more than welcome to visit the Lotus Holy Land."

Even though those words echoed in Darren's head, it seemed like he was the only one who could hear

them. Outside his head, everything remained quiet.

Darren felt deeply depressed as he gazed after Belle's receding figure. He was sad, but he was not too

worried about Belle. Based on that person's voice, it seemed to him that she would treat Belle with

kindness. Even more than that, Darren knew that it could be an amazing opportunity for his beloved

sister.

"Thanks for your help," Darren said out loud to show his appreciation. He was quite unsure whether

she heard him or not, but he knew of no other way.

Darren knew that it was a good opportunity. He was also aware that if Belle had stayed with him

forever, she might be in even more danger. This way, she could live a much safer life.

"Lotus Holy land - I'll keep that place in my heart forever. Belle, please wait for me. I promise that I will

do everything it takes so that I can visit you in three years' time."

Darren felt a loss deep in his heart. But as long as it would be for his sister's good, he didn't mind the

temporary separation.
