Chapter 181 The Final Aces
Chapter 181 The Final Aces
Boom!
Another deafening sound was let out by another collision of the two powers moving with immense
momentum, causing the temperature to rise once again as countless flame spiritual energies ignited all
around the whole battle platform. In that moment, the two warriors were forced to retreat.
However, they were not quick enough to spare themselves from any damages. Both of their top clothes
were immediately burned to ashes from being too close to the powerful blaze.
Now that their tops were both burned to ashes, the lean, masculine bodies of the two warriors became
exposed to the public.
But more than that, even their bodies were not able to escape the wrath of the fierce flame wave. Their
bodies were covered with blood, deep gashes and burn wounds covered almost every inch of their
bodies.
The two of them spit out a mouthful of blood.
They immediately dug their weapons into the ground in order to regain their footing. Yet, the massive
force from the collision still managed to throw them to the corner ends of the battle platform.
"How could their collision be so fierce? Are they really warriors at the Blood Purification?" some
disciples exclaimed. They could not take their eyes off the intense competition.
"Yes, even collisions between warriors at the first grade of Bone Refinement can only be that fierce."
"Wyn, how come didn't Ricky use his devouring power?" While the other disciples were astonished and
confused, Hector kept to himself and thought about what was happening. After a while, he whispered,
"If Ricky doesn't use that power, Gennadi's final ace will be useless, unless he chooses to use it in
public!"
"It appears that we have underestimated Ricky. A moment ago, it would have been the perfect time for
him to use his devouring power, but he didn't. It only means that he was able to detect Gennadi's
corrosive fire toxin skill," Wyn explained.
'What a terrible opponent! Elder Logan is right. Ricky has to be killed as soon as possible, before his
cultivation improves any further. Else, things will get totally out of control, ' Wyn thought, his mind
racing.
Ricky and Gennadi had no time to listen to the people chatting. They had tricky troubles to handle.
'Why didn't he use his mysterious devouring power just now? Was he able to detect my fire toxin skill?
Damn it!' Gennadi cursed in his mind upon seeing that Ricky still looked the same, aside from the
injuries on his body.
'His fire toxin didn't work. I'm guessing his next move would probably be the final collision!' Ricky
thought to himself. 'Ha, that's what I am hoping for as well. It is time for me to take his place as the
number one inner disciple.'
"I have to say, Ricky, I'm impressed. Your fighting power is a lot stronger than I expected, especially for
someone who is still at the seventh grade of Blood Purification," Gennadi said grimly as he stood up.
"But it doesn't change the fact that you are only a warrior at the seventh grade of Blood Purification.
You are not qualified to challenge the authority of a warrior at the ninth grade of Blood Purification!" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
As he spoke, the flaming spiritual energy on his body became stronger and stronger until it reached the
maximum.
His maximum power was so strong that it was about to burn the space around him.
"Now, I will let you see just how strong the peak power of a warrior at the ninth grade of Blood
Purification is," Gennadi added.
After that, red runes showed up; the power of manuals surged out and the Light Apperception at the
fourth grade filled in the air. The strongest power of Gennadi was quickly dashing toward the sword in
his hands.
In spite of how strong Gennadi's power already was, he still was not over unleashing all of it. Within
Gennadi's flaming spiritual energy, a black and red corrosive fire toxin appeared, wrapping his spiritual
energy like a sticky coat.
As soon as the fire toxin came out, the whole space was filled with the stingy odor that smelled like
something was being corroded.
"This corrosion power is just too formidable. What kind of cultivation method is Gennadi using?" many
disciples wondered and asked.
"It is supposed to be a powerful cultivation method called Fire Toxin Skill. Ricky is in grave danger."
"Gennadi is using the fire toxin! What a cruel person! It is said that such a toxic cultivation method
cannot be used to harm others without the warrior harming himself first."
"So, this should be the ace card of Gennadi."
The disciples were so engaged in their discussion.
"Finally, you are willing to expose the so-called cultivation method of fire toxin," Ricky said lightly.
He tried to hide his fear, but in that moment, Ricky knew he was in grave danger. He could feel the
imminent threat exuding from Gennadi.
Gennadi was right. Ricky was only at the seventh grade of Blood Purification while Gennadi was at the
ninth grade of Blood Purification. There was a huge difference between the two grades, and that put
Ricky at a huge disadvantage.
What was worse was that Ricky's devouring power did not seem to work on Gennadi. He was in grave
trouble and they both knew it.
"My master, be careful! The consequence of such a fierce fire toxin is not just as simple as corroding
your body and meridians. At this rate, I'm afraid even your spiritual energy can be slightly corroded,"
Alva said, reminding his master to be cautious at this critical moment.
'His fire toxin is too strong and dangerous. I have no choice now. I need to fight it with my top level
power, ' Ricky thought.
"Ricky, check this! Fire Toxin Manual—Fire Toxin Sword!" Gennadi bellowed.
After that, he leapt up to the air as his body rotated at high speed, so did the Fire Toxin Sword in his
hand, projecting numerous sword shadows in midair.
His movements were so fast that it was hard to see what was happening. Suddenly, Gennadi lunged
towards Ricky.
Then, the countless sword shadows gathered together at once and merged with the sword in
Gennadi's hands. At once, the audience found that the sword not only shone brightly, but also was rich
in fire toxin. Its momentum was so powerful that even the warriors at the first grade of Bone
Reinforcement would flinch and be overwhelmed.
More than that, Gennadi's body was moving at a momentum that could only be achieved by the
warriors of Bone Reinforcement.
In the booming sound, there were faint sounds of bone cracking and vibrating from Gennadi, which
only belonged to the warriors of Bone Reinforcement.
"Sure enough, as Autelan said, Gennadi is already a half step into the Bone Reinforcement," Ricky said
quietly as he felt Gennadi's powerful momentum.
"My master, in the whole Misty South, Gennadi is talented enough to be called a third class genius!"
Alva noted upon sensing Gennadi's power.
"Oh? So you mean geniuses are also divided into different classes?" Ricky asked curiously in his mind.
Nevertheless, Ricky did not give up. His spiritual energy did not stop surging, and even though he was
only at the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula in that moment, he gave his all to
push himself directly to the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. He had no choice but
to do so, since his Devouring Fire could not work.
"My master, geniuses are roughly divided into five classes. Third class geniuses are those who have no
rivals of the same level. Second class geniuses are those who are able to challenge warriors one level
higher than them. First class geniuses, on the other hand, are those who have the ability to challenge
warriors who are as much as two levels higher than they are. Gennadi, as I mentioned, is a third class
genius," Alva explained.
"Based on your current situation, My master, you rank among the first class geniuses," Alva noted.
A moment later, he continued, "Even more powerful than the first class genius is the so called peerless
genius. These geniuses are able to challenge even those three levels higher than them. In the whole
Misty South, peerless geniuses can only be seen from the top forces."
"You said there are five classes, but you've only mentioned four. What is the other one?" Ricky couldn't
help but ask to satiate his curiosity.
"Above the peerless geniuses, there are those called wizard geniuses or genies!" Alva replied. "They
can challenge those up to four levels higher than them. Since their existence transcends the truth, they
are just too rare to see.
If such wizard geniuses and genies don't die, they will become the sole strong warriors on a continent!"
"The peerless genius, wizard genius, genie… Wow, I hope I one day get to meet some of them," Ricky
said in a barely audible voice.
He had let himself get too caught up in his conversation with Alva. Now, he had to fully concentrate
once again on the battle with Gennadi.
In the explosion of his momentum, Ricky's whole body turned into dark blue from the light blue color it
had been before due to his absorption of nearly a hundred kinds of Beast Fire.
"Now that I am at the peak of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, I hope it will be
enough to defeat Gennadi!" Ricky muttered to himself.
