Chapter 962 Ancient Humans

Soft dripping noises slowly turned into a light drizzle.

By morning, the rain began to fall.

"Hmm." Darren let out a light snort as he was awakened by the rain.

He looked around and realized he was in an unknown wilderness.

"What? Why am I not at the bottom of the sea?" Darren was a little surprised and also confused. He turned around and found Hailey—still sound asleep. Darren quickly woke her up.

Hailey woke up as puzzled as Darren.

"I remember someone telling us something before we passed out."

"Yes, it was something about the test rules.

Do you still remember what it was, exactly?" Darren asked.

"Well, if I remember correctly, the voice said we should join a tribe and gather our strength. But, I'm not sure about anything else," Hailey replied. She was trying her best to recall.

"Yeah, that's all I heard too." Darren nodded and said, "Let's look around and see if anyone is out there."

With that, the two of them prepared to leave.

The next moment, a loud thud was heard as Darren hit the ground.

As soon as Darren had hopped up to leave, his body had slumped over to the ground. Only then did he realize that all his strength had disappeared.

"What?"

Hailey immediately checked her strength level as well and found that it had also vanished.

"What's going on?" asked Hailey in surprise.

After some pondering, Darren looked up at Hailey and said, "I see! Remember, before we fainted, a lot of ancient rules were entering our body, right?"

"Yes, that's correct," replied Hailey, uncertain where Darren was going with this.

"That's right. I think the ancient rules replaced the original rules in our body. Under the effect of the ancient rules, all our abilities have disappeared. This is because many of the abilities we've learned by now had not yet existed in the ancient times. Even if they did exist now, they'd be running under a different system of rules."

Darren was certain, because he experienced the same thing in the Ancient Void Battlefield. Everything within the Ancient Void Battlefield was useless in the outside world, and any strength he gain

ary person to kill a grand warrior.

Fortunately, the beasts were all tied up and unable to move. Otherwise, Darren and Hailey would've been devoured.

"Darren, let's cultivate here. Although our strength has been reduced, we still remember those martial arts skills. It's no big deal to start from the beginning," said Hailey.

"Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Let's go back to the basics." Darren nodded.

In his mind, he recalled all the martial skills. Most of them couldn't be practiced and rendered useless because of the difference in the rule system.

'I know, now! The Profound Nine Sword Skills! A long lost sword formula!' Darren thought excitedly. After thinking for a time, Darren found the first superior martial arts skill that he gained in his youth. It could be used under the ancient rules.

In retrospect, this Profound Nine Sword Skills was a superior sword skill. It wasn't something that could be normally obtained.

However, when Darren's strength slowly increased, the sword formula appeared to be useless, so he hadn't used it for hundreds of years.

'This is going to be good. It makes sense for it to be weak at first, haha.' Darren smiled triumphantly.

Immediately after, he began to analyze the Profound Nine Sword Skills in his mind again. His talent was about to surpass the Genuine Domain Degree, so he made a perfect comprehension of his skill in an instant.
