The legendary warrior novel Chapter 182

'He has already cultivated to the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula!' Zenith thought, looking at Ricky's blue body. There was a flash of surprise and excitement in his eyes.

However, as Ricky had already given him a great deal of excitement and surprise before, Zenith now remained pretty calm. Perhaps he would actually be surprised if Ricky didn't break out the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

People including Elder Evan looked at each other in surprise at the sight of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

But as to be expected, Boris and Elder Logan were staring at Ricky murderously.

"Father, just set your heart at rest. He won't let you down," Grace said, feeling relatively confident.

...

Ricky felt that his body had become even more powerful than ever before once he reached the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. Now he did not feel the least bit threatened by Gennadi's virulent strikes.

"Chaotic Fire Skill—Heaven Melting Strike!"

With his Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, Ricky activated the Chaotic Fire Skill. His burning body was now covered by a sea of roaring flames and runes, which were born of the Heaven Melting Fire and shaped chaotic fire runes.

Now that Alva had suggested using raging power, the Heaven Melting Fire together with the Chaotic Fire Skill should be the most volatile power.

'It's that kind of fire again. I should make some time to talk with Ricky about that, ' Autelan thought to himself at this moment, because he felt the strong resonance again.

With his body tilting downwards, Ricky slashed at Gennadi.

It was just an ordinary slash, but all the Elders keenly felt the strong raging power in it. Ricky's rage even made them a little scared.

"Could this be a strong Beast Fire?" many Elders speculated at once.

"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing rang through the air. Ricky's saber collided heavily with Gennadi's sword.

"Boom!"

A resounding thunderclap shook the air. The power of two flames collided fiercely like two falling firmaments. The power exploded instantly, as if was going to sweep everything away.

Thick strands of fire toxin flowed rapidly in the sword and soon affected Ricky's attack. The strong corrosion power seemed to corrupt everything, including Ricky's Light Apperception.

Ricky's fire attack was visibly fading away very quickly.

But those with sharp eyes could see that the fire toxin only corrupted the ordinary spiritual energy in Ricky's flame. The flame power of the Heaven Melting Fire and chaotic fire runes was not affected at all. Instead, they were now moving freely in the fire toxin.

Meanwhile, the raging power became fiercer and fiercer.

"Go to hell!" Gennadi said fiercely, smugly thinking that Ricky's power had now been compromised. He was now imagining how Ricky would tumble down awkwardly from the arena.

"Are you being too overconfident?" Ricky responded him with a rather insidious smile.

"What do you mean?" Looking at Ricky's sinister smile, Gennadi finally realized that something was wrong. Only now did he look more carefully at both of their attacks.

But it was already too late.

"Explode now!" Ricky shouted loudly.

"Boom! Bang!"

The Heaven Melting Fire and chaotic fire runes suddenly exploded. Endless raging power immediately swept over Ricky and Gennadi.

"Ricky! You..." Gennadi roared in disbelief, but before he could finish speaking, all sounds had become submerged in the violent explosion.

"Oh my! Ricky is causing destruction on both sides!" many disciples exclaimed as they saw the violent explosion.

Ricky and Gennadi could survive the violent explosion, but they would definitely lose their fighting power!

"I guess so. Gennadi's fire toxin is too powerful. In order not to be defeated, Ricky had to take this route. In this way, they will end in a draw."

"Humph! You know nothing at all! Gennadi can control the fire toxin! That means he won't get hurt by the fire toxin in this explosion. He just needs to withstand the explosion!" disciples of the Casting Faction and the Refinement Faction responded coldly. They were unwilling to accept that there was a chance of a draw.

"But for Ricky, he has to withstand the power of explosion as well as the fire toxin. As a result, after the explosion, Gennadi's remaining fighting power will be much more than Ricky's."

"The only winner of this battle will be Gennadi!"

"Indeed! That sounds about right."

"What a bunch of fools who don't know anything at all! Do they really think Ricky's Nine-degree Body Refining Formula is good for nothing?" Edgar smiled, shaking his head when he heard the murmurs.

...

The violent explosion didn't die down until a quarter of an hour later. Gennadi's and Ricky's figures now appeared one after another.

"What... What the hell is happening?" The sight of the arena astonished all the disciples. They blinked their eyes rapidly with disbelief on their faces.

At this moment, Gennadi was half kneeling on the arena, dragging his sword with his right hand. Apart from his eyes which were still a little shiny, his whole body was covered with blood, and there were even several burn marks on his skin. They could hardly see Gennadi breathing. Even an ordinary mortal would easily be able to kill him now.

When they looked at Ricky, he was standing still on the arena. Except for the superficial nicks on his body from before the explosion, he had not been hurt at all. If it were not for the dust coating his figure, his blue hair would still be starkly elegant.

The most frightening thing was that they could feel Ricky's dangerous energy, which had almost reached the peak.

This meant that Ricky would now be able to compete against another warrior at the peak of the ninth grade of Blood Purification.

It was blatantly obvious who emerged the victor.

"How come? How is it even possible? Why didn't you get hurt at all?" Gennadi shouted angrily as he pounded the arena with his fists. He looked at Ricky with his bloodshot eyes, itching to kill Ricky for all eternity.

"Just because I'm stronger than you!" Ricky said lightly, "As I suggested earlier, you two should have competed with me together. But you were still too overconfident to accept."

As he spoke, Ricky walked to Gennadi's side.

"Please remember that this is the second time I have defeated you. The first time, you lost your position as leader of the Casting Faction. This second time, I became the strongest among all the inner disciples. If there's a third time, I won't let you get off so easily!"

And with this, Ricky delivered a swift and merciless kick, causing Gennadi to fly off the arena. As he hit the ground, he lost consciousness.

Then, Ricky looked around the arena and loudly announced, "If anyone else from the Casting and Refinement Factions want to cause any trouble, just come to me. I'll be happy to accommodate you!"

Even if Ricky had only said this with an even tone, many disciples still felt fear strike in their hearts. It was a warning well understood.

...

"Caleb, I dare say that Ricky's fire is not just the Beast Fire!"

"Our chief has already sent us an order that we can choose a suitable day to attack him. We'll know more about it when that time comes."
