Nobilis of War

Gathering his demonic power and internal force altogether, Darren attempted to release his strength to advance.

As soon as he began to lift his foot, a physical force dawned on him. He barely withstood the force, failing to take a step forward.

"I made a huge mistake!" he exclaimed to himself, shaking his head in disbelief. 'As I attempted to take a step forward back then, I also felt such heavy pressure on me—even heavier than this. According to the Nine Changes of the Demon, if I master the first stage, I can become as powerful as a cultivator at the peak stage of the Spirit Realm!

Even when my strengths are already to the likeness of one at the peak stage of the Spirit Realm, I am unable to move. Perhaps, this world is not that nice to outsiders like me. If I don't use internal force, I might make it!'

Too many thoughts were circulating inside his mind. However, Darren still had the energy in him to laugh at the situation.

After withdrawing his sword and blade internal forces, he raised his foot. Then, he realized that his assumption was indeed right. Slowly now, Darren managed to take a step forward.

Stopping in his tracks, he decided not to keep going. After he ceased to use his internal force, the pressure on him became lighter. Despite the change, he was still under great pressure. After all, he was not in his own world.

'Oh wow, ' he thought to himself. 'There are so many spiritual herbs here!' Darren allowed his eyes to travel, scanning his surroundings.

Enthusiastically, he began picking up the spiritual herb that blossomed in a bunch right before him.

'The spiritual energy in these is so strong! I can feel it!' Eagerly, Darren started to assimilate all the energy he could get from the grass.

Thanks to the assimilation skill that he acquired, he was able to refine the grass quickly. However, there was just one flaw—the utilization rate of the spiritual energy was quite low. He was only able to absorb one-tenth of the herb's spiritual energy.

It didn't take long for Darren to finish naturalizing about one hundred herbs. After the process, he gained a huge amount of energy. Half of it turned into demonic internal force, while the rest served as the sword and blade internal force.

He concentrated his mind carefully so that he could sense the energy meridians. To his amazement, the aggressive black demonic internal force was crushing the sword and blade internal forces.

The two internal forces didn't just stay still. They, too, squabbled against the demonic internal force.

'This can't be good. These forces are just going to keep on getting stronger. What if they cause my meridians to break?' he thought to himself, aware of the possibilities that the situation could cause.

'Whatever. What's important is returning to my original human form, ' he thought, reassuring himself.

Smiling sarcastically at his current circumstance, he looked down on his body that was covered with black spines and scales.
