Nobilis of War

Chapter 208 You Are Not That Attractive



"Thank goodness I have returned," exclaimed Darren happily.

Darren raised his head and looked around. He found himself surrounded by a group of palaces. A huge blurry dragon shadow lay behind the most magnificent palace. He realized that he had reached the Dragon Holy Land.

Darren was not in a hurry to find Scott. Darren had been tense and anxious during his time in the demonic monster domain. Now that he had arrived at the Dragon Holy Land, Darren wanted to relax. Thus, instead of finding Scott, he walked around.

"Get out of here before you get killed!" someone yelled.

Darren was about to enter the training ground when he heard the warning. Suddenly, a few Dragon Holy Land disciples blocked his path. Darren frowned as their attitude toward him was hostile. "Is the training ground off limits?" Darren asked, calmly.

One disciple said haughtily, "Are you pretending to be unaware, or are you deliberately asking for trouble? Today, the three geniuses are going to compete with each other. The news has shaken everyone in the Holy Land. Do you still pretend to know nothing?"

"I don't know where this bumpkin comes from, but if you don't have an invitation to watch the competition, you will not be allowed to enter. Get out of my face, or I will break your legs!" yelled another one. Darren would never be nice to ignorant and arrogant people like these disciples. He waved his hand gently and released a great force. It hit the two people with such power that they were pushed back several feet.

"I want to see which geniuses are competing."

Darren had only used a small percentage of his power, so he did not kill the two gatekeepers. His attack had been enough to cause a few minor injuries, though.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A series of resounding claps were heard just then. Darren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl smiling at him. Surprise and admiration reflected in her eyes.

"What an impressive palm skill! You defeated two people at your level so effortlessly. Your strength is truly amazing."

Darren shook his head. He knew the girl was patronizing him. It felt ridiculous, so he ignored her and walked toward the training ground.

"Um? What is your problem? Why are you so cold to me?" questioned the girl. She frowned and stepped in front of Darren.

"Well, I just want to go in and have a look. Why is everyone stopping me?" said Darren helplessly.

The girl did not reply. She thought, 'This guy did not even look at me. Doesn't he know why the three geniuses are battling each other?'

The girl was cute and charming in appearance. In fact, some would even call her a great beauty. But for Darren, no other woman could compare with Elsa. Even if a girl were as pretty as Elsa, Darren would no chase her.

The girl felt very uncomfortable with Darren's icy attitude. Many men all across the Dragon Holy Land dreamed of being with her. And today, the three geniuses of the Dragon Holy Land were fighting to win her affection.

The girl knew all this clearly. Although she had no affection toward these so-called geniuses, she did not stop them. She enjoyed being chased by many men.

"I won't stop you if you want to watch the competition. But, I have one condition," stated the girl as she smiled mysteriously at Darren.

"What is that?" Darren asked, casually.

"Take my hand, and we will go in together."

"Um?"

Darren was astonished. He did not know what the girl intended, but he did not believe that she had fallen in love with him at their first meet.

"What a childish idea!" murmured Darren after thinking for a moment.

"You!" The girl stamped her foot in anger.

She had asked Darren to hold her hand as they walked into the training ground. If Darren had done that, he would have become an enemy of the geniuses in the training ground. She wanted to teach Darren a lesson for treating her indifferently.

The girl had thought that the young boy used a trick to get her attention. However, it seemed that Darren had no affection for her. She was frustrated because he was ignoring her.

"You are not as charming as you think," Darren retorted before walking past her.

The girl's chest heaved before she launched a palm attack at Darren. She thought she was almost invincible as she had reached the ninth stage of the Mysterious Realm. So, she was confident that her attack was enough to teach the proud boy a lesson.

Boom!

A loud sound echoed as the attack landed. However, the corner of Darren's clothes just fluttered a little. Nothing else happened.

The girl was stunned. She watched with widened eyes as Darren walked away at an unhurried pace.

She had used almost her full strength to attack Darren, but he remained unaffected. She thought, 'How powerful is he? He looks only seventeen or eighteen years old! Does he have the strength of the Wonder Realm?' The girl's heart beat faster.

Darren walked into the training ground where over a thousand young disciples had gathered.

The training ground was thousands of acres in size. A dragon-shaped arena had been constructed in the middle of the training ground. Three extraordinary young people had released an aura of pressure against each other. It seemed that they were the so-called three geniuses.

Darren released his spiritual sense to estimate the level of the three competitors. He found that their strength was, indeed, not low. They were all at the top of the primary stage of the Wonder Realm.

"Look! It's Miss Bella Mu."

"Oh, how beautiful she is! I would give my life to walk within three feet of Miss Bella."

"You are daydreaming. Her admirers will shred you if you go too close to her."

In the training ground, all eyes focused on Bella Mu. To the men there, the beautiful girl was like a goddess.

"Eh, she is coming toward me!"

A disciple dressed in white, who had been standing beside Darren, saw Bella Mu heading in his direction. His breath hitched as he wondered, 'Does my elegant demeanor attract Miss Bella?' Seeing Bella Mu walking closer and closer, the disciple in white stuck out his chest, patted his sleeves, and smoothed down his robe. At that moment, he felt very graceful.

"Would you like to be my boyfriend?" murmured Bella Mu before pressing her lips tight and feigning a shy expression.

"I, I, I..." The disciple in white flushed. Excitement rendered him speechless. Then, his eyes rolled up, and then he fainted with joy.

"Idiot." Bella Mu rolled her eyes at the disciple in white. She kicked him away and then looked at Darren.

Below in the arena, the three powerful young people immediately cast a stern glance at Darren.

"Sure," answered Darren casually.

Hundreds of eyes filled with murderous intent focused on Darren. Didn't he know the girl's trick? It was no doubt that the girl wanted him to become the enemy of all the other people there, but Darren decided to fulfill her wish.

Bella Mu was dumbfounded. She was angry with Darren, and she also felt that he was a man of mystery. She had thought that Darren would refuse her proposal as he had been cold toward her earlier. However, to her surprise, he agreed.

The situation puzzled Bella. She had expressed her affection for Darren in front of so many people. They would now believe that she fancied him.

"Come on, honey. Don't you want to kiss your boyfriend?" Darren joked provocatively as he stuck out one side of his face toward Bella. Bella blushed with anger because she didn't expect Darren to flirt with her in public!

"Okay, but remember this. You are asking for trouble," she said in a very soft voice. "I could kiss you, but don't blame me if you die after that." After saying that, she pouted her lips and moved closer toward Darren. A deep sense of shame and indignation reflected in her eyes.

Whoosh!

Immediately, Darren obstructed the girl's lips with his hand.

"Sorry, we've broken up now."

Darren's harsh words rang throughout the training ground. ☐☐☐
