Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 1023 The Competition Began

Soar and the others gave up searching in the Blood Evil Pool and began to refine the pure blood vitality in the Blood Evil Pool instead, as they aimed to gain insights about the martial arts experience and comprehension with it.

At that moment, Ricky and the Evil Mandragora had returned. Despite the great dangers that they had gone through, they were able to reap a rich harvest, as not only did they get the Blood Crystal, Ricky also obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Array from the Wild Array Emperor.

And since the Wild Array Emperor taught Ricky all his comprehension of the array through the soul injection, Ricky now owned the array power of an upper spiritual king.

'It will take me just a few months to improve my array power to my current realm, and with this array power and my strength, my combat power will greatly improve, * Ricky thought to himself excitedly.

He handed over the Blood Crystal to the Evil Mandragora and asked her to refine it first.

"Soar, let's share the rest of the Blood Crystal equally,” Ricky said to Soar through telepathy.

"Ricky, the Blood Crystal has little effect on a legendary beast like me because my blood power has reached its peak, and there is nothing for me to awaken,” Soar replied with a smile.

"But you can still reach the realm of the Chaos Green Dragon, right?" Ricky asked.

"I cannot reach the realm of the Chaos Green Dragon even if I used one hundred more Blood Crystals,” Soar answered and smiled reassuringly at Ricky. "No dragon can become an Azure Dragon beside the first Azure Dragon that was born in the chaos.

So, you can use the rest of the Blood Crystal by yourself. I'm looking forward to the day that you will successfully awaken your blood power.”

"Okay, I won't pretend to be unhappy with your choice, Soar. I'll accept it gratefully,” Ricky said as he smiled brightly at Soar.

He did not need to be so distant with Soar, after all, because Soar was his best friend.

"Ricky, you should refine it as soon as possible because I don't think Carney will stay where he is. He will definitely improve himself as well,” Soar said.

"Okay!"

Ricky nodded once, and then he concentrated on refining the blood vitality in the Blood Evil Pool to transform it into his energy. Of course, he also absorbed the martial arts experience inside and merged it with himself.

At that moment, Ricky became a second-class completed spiritual king at the peak state.

After three days, he made a breakthrough and became a first-class completed spiritual king, and he spent five more days to consolidate the realm he had reached.

Gerry and Soar had also made breakthroughs, although, for them, breakthroughs like these were not the most important. They valued the martial arts experience and comprehension that they had gained much more than any breakthrough that they could achieve.

After they gained a full understanding of the martial arts experience and comprehension they received, they merged this knowledge with themselves, as it would greatly help them achieve more breakthroughs in the future.

After that, they left the Secret Blood Spirit Space.

Of course, they remembered the location of the Secret Blood Spirit Space, so that they could come back and practice at any time after the competition.

However, it would not be easy for them to enter the Secret Blood Spirit Space then, because Oswald would never let them go.

As for how Oswald knew that there were Blood Crystals in this place, it was probably because of the Blood Spirit Beasts that were controlled in that place.

But even though Ricky had obtained the Blood Spirit Beasts, he never thought of using the Blood Crystals to control them. This was because it may expose his belongings, and anyway, there was no need for him to do that.

After all, with their speed, it was not difficult to get the Blood Spirit Bead within two months.

In the following days, they continued to hunt the Blood Spirit Beasts, and two months flew by quickly.

After these two months, all the disciples left the Blood Spirit Ground and came to the periphery of the Blood Spirit Mountain. By this time, Langston had already set up battle rings where the strongest candidate would be determined.

There were ten rings, which meant only ten disciples were qualified to be the core disciples.

There were so many people crowded all over the place, as almost all of the forces had come, and their purpose was very clear. There was no doubt that they were here to watch the battle between Ricky and Carney.

At that moment, there was so much noise around the rings, as everyone was talking incessantly about what would happen between Ricky and Carney.

"It seems that you didn't meet Carney in the Blood Spirit Ground,” Langston said to him through telepathy.

"No, Chief Langston. I didn't look for Carney deliberately, and it seemed that he didn't look for me either. I think he wants to defeat me in front of all these people,” Ricky said lightly like he did not care where they would fight, as he was confident of his victory already.

"That is the only reasonable explanation, but it is bad news for you since you cannot use your chaotic power, and without it, it will be difficult for you to defeat him. On the other hand, if you burst out the chaotic power here, you will likely become the target of the assassinations from all forces because of your talent,” Langston surmised.

"Ha-ha, assassination is the least thing I fear, Chief Langston! By now, I am accustomed to living with it!" Ricky laughed carelessly, and there was no trace of fear in his expression and actions. "Well, you will surely defeat Carney today, and the eyes of these nosey people would bug out in shock.” Langston laughed as well.

"Of course!"

Ricky claimed confidently.

"The selection in the Blood Spirit Ground is finally over. Any disciple who gets more than a hundred Blood Spirit Beads in the past two months can directly become a disciple of the Spirit Sect,” Langston announced.

"Warriors who obtained more than three hundred Blood Spirit Beads will be qualified to compete to be the core disciple.

Now, those who got more than three hundred Blood Spirit Beads, please stand in front of me!” Swish!

Immediately, twenty-two warriors moved forward. At this time, Hugh also appeared, and he came forward and greeted a disciple from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Soar and Amanda also came forward, flanking Ricky's side.

"Ricky! It appears that I was right. I told you that you will become famous once you come to the Western Land. Now you have already become famous within only a few days,” Hugh told Ricky through telepathy.

"What's more, Amelia must have grown up to a beautiful woman now. You must be so excited to marry her."

"Hugh, let me have the competition first!" Ricky replied helplessly.

"Ha-ha, okay!" Hugh could not help but laugh at the helplessness and embarrassment that colored Ricky's words.

"Twenty-two warriors are qualified for the next round. In this next round, you will compete in groups of two people. There will be ten rounds in total.

If you win in one round, you will receive one point, but if you lose, you won't get any points. The ten warriors with the top ten points will qualify as the ten core disciples this time. Of course, when the ten core disciples are determined, the remaining twelve of you will still have a chance to challenge.” After saying that, Langston waved his hand and swept the twenty-two warriors including Ricky toward the rings.

He placed two warriors in every ring randomly, and while he was doing so, a familiar voice came into Ricky's soul sea.

"You are Kenney, right? You have that thing in the Blood Evil Pool, don't you?" When he heard this, Ricky stiffened alertly, and he let his gaze study the other warriors secretly.

As he looked around, he saw a man in a black cloak.

But Ricky recognized the voice now. It was Oswald!

"Oswald!" Ricky responded with a sneer. "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the public that you have the Blue Water Mutant? Why did you come here?"

"Afraid? My Blue Water Mutant is not something that the middle spiritual emperors can tell. And anyway, many people can prove that I didn't participate in the selection of the Spirit Sect this time."
