The legendary warrior

Chapter 80 Trio Array

"Grr! I'll kill you!"

Alan's howl rang through the silence like sudden thunder. Fumbling to get up from the ground, he broke out in full force.

The power he exuded was characteristic of the first grade of Blood Purification. It burst forth in full swing.

Immediately, Alan pulled out his weapon from his back and turned his palms forward. The weapon quickly expanded and became a black iron spear.

"The Earthlight Iron Spear!"

With a shout, Alan ran and leaped high in the ring, spear in hand. All his strength was concentrated on the spear, which burst into a powerful blaze and hurtled towards Ricky.

"Haven't you realized what you're up against?" Ricky said coldly, calmly watching Alan's infuriated attack.

Ricky burst into flames and pulled out his Iron Destroyer, red spiritual energy surrounding it instantly. Ricky then spun around at a high speed and swung the long saber from above.

"Clang!" The two weapons collided, and Alan's black spear was flung away. Meanwhile, however, Ricky's long saber flew straight at Alan.

The sight of the rapidly approaching blade thrust Alan into a state of panic and despair, and he stood frozen, forgetting how to deflect it.

If this had happened elsewhere, Ricky would have killed Alan without mercy. But it was inappropriate to do so in the house of Shui Clan. Instantly, he twisted his weapon and gave Alan a tremendous blow to

the chest with the back of his long saber.

With a grunt, Alan fell backwards into the ring again, bleeding this time.

But unlike before, however, he failed to get up and instead passed out on the spot. Ricky studied him for a few moments, wondering if he was faking it or not.

A stunned silence fell over the crowd, but only briefly.

Soon the chatter increased exponentially, like the start of a rain shower. They talked about the man in the ring and Agnes.

In an instant, all the attention had completely shifted from Alan to Ricky.

Sherry was startled out of her dazed shock by the loud chatter, her beautiful eyes full of bitterness. She stared at Ricky and Agnes angrily, feeling hatred develop for Alan.

"It seems you were right, sister. Disciples of the Snow Sect are by no means easy to defeat. It was a truly wise choice to send Agnes there before," another elder sighed.

"That's right. After all, a connection with the innate spirit is advantageous. I think that hereafter, it would be a good move to just send more disciples to the Snow Sect if there is an opportunity. Even if they fail at cultivating, they shall still meet some outstanding disciples who can inspire them," the elder woman replied.

Then she stood up, asking a couple of the disciples to carry Alan out of the ring and to the medic for treatment.

She then formally announced that Ricky and Agnes had qualified for the factional contest.

Exiting the ring, Ricky followed Agnes back to their quarters. However, along the way, multiple people, regardless of whether they knew Agnes or not, all passionately approached him, chattering excitedly.

Ricky was again overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Shui disciples.

This was not surprising, though. There were so many women in the Shui Clan who would definitely jump at the chance to meet such a powerful genius warrior like him.

Fortunately, Agnes held a place of high respect among the disciples, and she ordered them to give him space, so that Ricky could go in peace.

"The factional contest will be held in three days, so take a good rest during these days!" Agnes said as she walked Ricky to his quarters. "Let me know if you need anything, anytime, during these three days."

"Why, aren't you going to stay with me these three days? I'm sure I will stand a better chance of winning the factional contest if you keep me company," Ricky teasingly flirted with the noble Agnes.

Blank faced, Agnes ignored him. She pushed him in through the door and left.

She knew it would be dangerous for her to stay there with him.

...

Shaking his head slightly, Ricky sat cross-legged on the futon and continued to comprehend the Five Beasts Arts.

As Ricky had practiced the Whiz Fist at the beginning, he quickly understood the fierce tiger part of the Five Beasts Arts, and with the help of the Devouring Skill, he had achieved the minor achievement in only a few days.

In addition, some fighting methods and biting forms of tigers were now well integrated into his fist, along with his saber skills.

After a preliminary understanding of the secrets of tigers, Ricky intended to focus next on the cultivation method of deer.

Imitating deer was all about speed and agility. Ricky was already very good on offense and defense, but he knew he had to work on speed. It might be his only weakness at the moment.

Mastering the Devouring Skill and Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, he was fully able to compete with warriors at the second grade of Blood Purification at the point. If he further improved his speed and agility, it would be possible for him to defeat or even kill a warrior at the second grade of Blood Purification.

Concentrating all of his energy into his comprehension, Ricky was absorbed in the Five Beasts Arts.

With the aid of his regained spiritual meridian and the Chaos Manual, he soon fell into meditation and completely immersed in the inner strength and comprehension of the cultivation method of deer of the Five Beasts Arts. Deep in his mind, Ricky was like a reindeer running through the mountains, nimble and sprite without a single stumble or falter. No creature could catch up with him.

For the warrior of Blood Purification, time passed quickly once he fell into practice. Three days later, Ricky felt as if he had only been a deer running through the mountains for a brief time. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But despite feeling like time had sped by quicker than usual, Ricky could tell that he had improved a lot. The comprehension he gained in three days had definitely increased his speed by nearly 10 percent.

The 10 percent was by all means a significant improvement, for it had definitely made Ricky as fast as any warrior at the second grade of Blood Purification.

'I don't think the Five Beasts Arts is merely a inferior Black Level cultivation method. I'm suspecting that because it hasn't been practiced by warriors for so long, its importance was forgotten and its rank consequently dropped, ' Ricky thought to himself.

…

Agnes arrived early on the day of the faction competition.

"Ha-ha, did you miss me these past three days, Agnes my beauty?" Ricky teased as he opened the door to greet her.

"The parameters of the contest have been determined. It is to be the Trio Array!" Agnes said, ignoring Ricky's teasing.

"Trio Array? It's a type of array, is it?" Ricky asked.

"Yes, but not exactly!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well first of all, the Trio Array has the power of an array, which means they attack us. But they are controlled by the method of puppet, just as we manipulate puppets!" Agnes explained.

"Puppets mean they have no mind of their own... Isn't that good for us?" Ricky clarified.

"Yes, but that's also a downside! For a thing with no cognitive abilities doesn't feel fear!" Agnes said, shaking her head.

"That makes sense!" Ricky mused and nodded, "So what exactly is a Trio Array?"

"Wooden Men Array, Stone Men Array, and Bronze Men Array! And if two factions pass the Trio Array and there's a tie, the final result will be decided in a battle," Agnes explained. It would be an interesting

challenge.
