Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 998 The Blood Spirit Ground

"Before you showed up, and even before you fought with Carney, official information was that the coming selection competition would still take place in the Small World of the Spirit Sect,” Abraham told Ricky.

"But the news about the change came right after Langston left.

I don't think it's a coincidence.

Besides, I think the change in rewards this time is also because of you."

"Rewards? How did the rewards change?" Ricky was mostly just interested in the rewards. After all, no matter where the selection competition ended up taking place, his only real opponent was Carney.

"For all the previous selection competitions, each of the top ten participants had the chance to become a core disciple, choose three Demi-sage Level Treasures from Heaven and Earth, and get two zones of cultivation resources from the Spirit Sect,” Abraham explained.

"This time, the one who wins the first place will get an additional unimaginable reward!" Undisguised greed twinkled in Abraham's eyes as he spoke. He was a strong demi-spiritual emperor, so Ricky could imagine what kind of reward could make his eyes twinkle in greed. "What's the extra reward for the one who wins first place?" Ricky promptly asked. He couldn't even contain his eagerness.

"The Spirit Pool!" Abraham exclaimed.

"Wow!" Amelia and Amanda both could not help but gasp in shock.

"What is the Spirit Pool?" Soar asked, eyebrows furrowed in curiosity.

"Inside the Spirit Sect's territory, there is an energy pool. It is said to have been shaped by the essence of heaven and earth. In the beginning, it was nothing but that—a pool with essence from heaven and earth. It wasn't much of an attraction for the demi-spiritual emperors like me.

But ever since the Spirit Sect had been founded, every spiritual emperor of the sect had merged their power, blood essence, bones, flesh, and even blood into the Spirit Pool before they died,” Abraham imparted

"I see. That's unbelievable!" Soar exclaimed. "As a great force, the Spirit Sect has a history of tens of thousands of years, right? There must have been dozens of spiritual emperors from the Spirit Sect who have died within that period!

How much dense ruling power and energy does the Spirit Pool have?" Soar asked.

"I don't exactly know how much there is, but in the territory of the Spirit Sect, it has been said that every genius who has once been to the Spirit Pool would have an increase in their probability of making a breakthrough and becoming a spiritual emperor by thirty percent than before,” Abraham recalled.

Both Ricky's and Soars eyes lit up immediately when they heard this information

Thirty percent was really a huge amount. In order to achieve the same effect, it would require a large number of Treasures from Heaven and Earth.

Abraham sighed, "Such a precious place like the Spirit Pool is only open to the core disciples of the Spirit Sect, and only when they make outstanding contributions. By rights, they would by no means open the Spirit Pool for such a selection competition, let alone with the existence of Carney. But now they really are going to open it for the winner.

So, obviously, the reward has been added for you, because it is something Langston has prepared for you."

Ricky fell silent. What Abraham said made sense. After all, the first place would be won by either he or Carney, and it was very unlikely that Langston would just gladly give such a reward to Carney. "It seems that Langston thinks very highly of you. In this way, he has given you a chance to enter the Spirit Pool. After all, even a genius of the Spirit Sect could not enter the pool unless he has made a contribution to their sect.”

Ricky just continued to keep silently agreeing with Abraham's words.

He realized that Langston did treat him specially.

"Whatever did you do for Langston, Ricky? Why does he treat you this well?" Soar teasingly nudged Ricky.

"Well, I promised him that I would defeat Carney. It seems that only by defeating him can I repay the grace of Chief Langston,” Ricky murmured in a flat tone.

"It seems like Langston also wants to see where your limit is. He wants you to fight against Carney because, in this way, he'll be taking out his anger,” Tina said.

"That's understandable. If I want to get the favor of others, I have to show my strength,” Ricky said, eyes burning with determination. He would not lose.

"It seems that I only have one choice—to defeat Carney!" Ricky looked at Abraham and the others. "Chief Abraham, what kind of place is the Blood Spirit Ground?” Ricky asked. He could tell from their conversation that the Blood Spirit Ground was a terrible place.

"The Blood Spirit Ground is an extremely dangerous place in the Western Land. There are various kinds of dangers there. Even demi-spiritual emperors would have great possibility to lose their lives," Abraham stated.

"It is said that it was once a passage between the Devil Land and other continents a few ages ago. Numerous powerful warriors died there, and the environment there is as harsh as hell, so it is called the Blood Spirit Ground.

There is a kind of creature existing there. It is condensed by the blood vitality and power of devils and creatures from the continent through heavenly power. It is called the Blood Spirit Beast.

That place is a dangerous place because of the Blood Spirit Beasts.”

"Blood Spirit Ground, Blood Spirit Beast,” Ricky murmured.

"The Blood Spirit Beasts are cruel and relentless creatures devoid of psychic intelligence. They are extremely bloodthirsty and many of them have Omnipotent Skills which they have taken from strong warriors who died in the Blood Spirit Ground,” Amanda warned.

"But the Blood Spirit Beasts can be a kind of opportunity for warriors. Those beasts carry Blood Spirit Beads inside their bodies—they are the source of their power. The Blood Spirit Bead contains not only energy but also martial arts insights. Without those, the beasts would not have their Omnipotent Skills."

"Oh, really? I'm looking forward to the bead now." Ricky grew even more eager.

If there were only warriors who participated in the selection contest in the Blood Spirit Ground, it would be too dull. Ricky was eager to challenge something more difficult.

"But be warned—the Blood Spirit Bead contains evil spirit, so warriors dare not refine too many beads,” Amanda added.

Ricky and Soar glanced at each other and burst out laughing at the same time. They both realized that maybe there wouldn't be too many people competing with them for the Blood Spirit Bead. Other warriors might be afraid of the evil spirit, but Ricky was not.

"What are you two laughing at?” Amanda's face was scrunched up in confusion.

"Ha-ha! You will know when the time comes.” Ricky smirked.

Amanda scoffed in response, seeing that Ricky wanted to keep it a secret for the time being.

She would know the answer sooner or later.

"Alright. So, where is the Blood Spirit Ground?" Ricky turned to look at Abraham.

"It's in the mountains the Spirit Sect is inhabiting,” Abraham answered. "It is said that this time, two middle spiritual emperors will personally officiate and control the array there to prevent any strong warrior from cheating or making trouble.”

"That's good. By the way, has Calvin asked the middle spiritual emperors of the Sky-breaking Dome to go to the Spirit Sect yet?" Ricky inquired.

"I don't know why, but he still hasn't," Abraham replied. In fact, he was confused because it was not like Calvin's way of doing things.

"That's weird..." Ricky murmured.
