Chapter 34 That''s Cheating
At that moment, everyone turned their eyes onto Agnes, who raised her head haughtily. She was a
young woman with long flowing hair tied with lime silk. She was wearing a light blue dress.
She looked beautiful and graceful, with an elegant and noble air about her. Without a doubt, many of
the male warriors admired her beauty.
"It is said that Agnes is not only the genius of the Shui n, but also one of the gifted outer disciples of
the Snow Sect," one of the warriors muttered.
"Agnes has three hundred and twenty ck dots! This time, Agnes could very well win first ce."
"Of course! In my opinion, Agnes is the best warrior around!"
...
"I never expected Agnes to be an outer disciple of the Snow Sect and manage to obtain three hundred
and twenty ck dots. I think she might take third ce this time," Ricky muttered, under his breath.
In the minutes that followed, the total numbers of ck dots the participants had obtained were
revealed to the public one by one. However, no one got more dots than Agnes, and only two warriors
had over two hundred ck dots.
Harald and Connie were growing more anxious and upset, as they found out that Jim and Leo hadn''t
shown up yet.
Meanwhile, the attendees of the Zhang n and the Wang n were also very worried. Their warriors,
Finn and Waylon, also had yet to appear.
...
"It''s my turn now!" With a subtly smug smile on her face, Heather walked towards the two scribes of the
Lion King Castle and drew her ironwood.
"Look! The Lady of the Lion King Castle is there now. I wonder how many beasts she has hunted this
time," a warrior said curiously.
Since Heather and Agnes were two outstandingly gifted women who had joined the Iron Blood Trial,
they would likely to bepared to each other by everyone present.
"Humph! The Lady of our Lion King Castle must win first ce this time!" the disciples of the Lion King
Castle eximed, upon seeing Heather.
"Humph! It''s highly possible that Agnes will get first ce!"
Now many warriors began to bicker because of the two women.
"Heather! Four hundred and ten dots!" called out the voice of one of the scribes. The crowd fell silent
immediately.
No one had ever gotten four hundred and ten ck dots during the three Iron Blood Trials. Not until
now.
"Ahh!" The members and disciples of the Lion King Castle began to cheer in unison.
Benson and other senior leaders of the Lion King Castle alsoughed in glee, their eyes shining with
pride.
"It''s impossible!" the warriors who supported Agnes eximed, in a stark contrast from those who
backed Heather.
"Silence please, everyone. During each Iron Blood Trial, we have invited one remarkable warrior of
Bone Reinforcement from each city to patrol the periphery of the Lion King Mountains to prevent those
who are not participants from entering them," a senior member of the Lion King Castle exined.
"Thus, the Iron Blood Trial is absolutely fair."
"That''s right. We can testify to that!" Some powerful warriors of Bone Reinforcement stepped forward
from the crowd and were willing to bear witness.
Those who were suspicious of the results quieted down, grumbling lowly.
Agnes, who stood there quietly the whole time, said nothing. But on her delicate face, there were traces
of sadness and disappointment.
After a few more warriors'' ironwoods had been checked, it was Ricky''s turn.
Since he was a nobody, only Grace, Heather, Harald and other some disciples of the Snow Sect cared
about how many ck dots Ricky had.
Grace hoped that Ricky could get more ck dots, while Harald and Connie were gearing up tough
at him. After all, they didn''t believe that Ricky at the sixth grade of Skin Refinement could hunt many
beasts.
However, everyone was bbergasted after finding out the total number of ck dots on Ricky''s
ironwood.
"Ricky of the Snow Sect has seven hundred and three ck dots!"
A shocked hush fell upon the crowd. Even the two scribes were amazed. They held Ricky''s ironwood
tightly, as if they thought that they made a mistake while counting up the total number of the ck dots.
"Ahh. You must be very surprised!" Heather snickered, in stark contrast to the rest of the crowd, who
were stunned and shocked.
Agnes finally turned to gaze at Ricky with haughtiness in her gaze. Being the outer disciple of the Snow
Sect, Agnes of course knew Ricky, the one with no spiritual meridian.
Even though he had no spiritual meridian, the achievement he had made during the Iron Blood Trial
greatly surpassed hers.
Agnes was disappointed and displeased by the result, but on the other hand, she started to feel a
growing interest in Ricky.
"It''s impossible for him to get seven hundred and three dots!" Harald roared in rage, after he recovered
from the initial surprise.
"Harald, don''t lose your temper because of jealousy. Otherwise, you will not only disgrace yourself but
also the Snow Sect!" Grace said sneeringly.
Of course, she herself was still in a state of surprise too.
"Master Benson, do you think it is possible for Ricky, someone at the sixth grade of Skin Refinement to
hunt and kill seven hundred beasts of advanced stage of Skin Refinement within a month?" Harald said
to Benson, the Master of the Lion King Castle, ignoring Grace.
"Yes. He''s right! That''s impossible!" Almost all the warriors began to talk about this matter after Harald''s
outburst.
"He must have cheated at the Iron Blood Trial this time!"
...
Learning that many warriors didn''t believe Ricky could get so many ck dots, Benson felt morose, not
knowing how to deal with the situation.
No one had any evidence to prove that Ricky cheated at the trial, but it indeed seemed impossible and
odd for Ricky to hunt seven hundred beasts within a month. Even Benson found it hard to believe.
And even if Ricky had robbed other warriors of their ironwoods, it was still impossible for him to get so
many dots.
Besides, Harald had just said that Ricky was only at the sixth grade of Skin Refinement, so Benson
began to doubt it even more.
Benson looked at Ricky and eximed, "Ricky, you''d better exin it to us!"
"I will then!" Ricky nodded.
ncing around the warriors who kept on talking in whispers, Ricky spoke calmly, "Hi, everyone.
Harald told you all that I''m at the sixth grade of Skin Refinement. Do you really think that he is right?"
Ricky''s words caught the attention of the bickering warriors.
Then Ricky''s aura suddenly changed and was boosted to the highest limit that the eighth grade of Skin
Refinement could reach.
"The eighth grade of Skin Refinement!" Sensing Ricky''s powerful aura, many warriors marveled,
ncing at Harald with disdain, as if ming him for tricking them.
"Damn it! He was just at the sixth grade of Skin Refinement some days ago, but how could he reach
the peak of the eighth grade of Skin Refinement within a month?!" Harald asked himself furiously.
"How could such a worthless piece of trash without spiritual meridian cultivate and achieve the eighth
grade of Skin Refinement?"
Connie also red at Ricky sullenly.
"He has even made a breakthrough and reached the eighth grade of Skin Refinement!" Grace was also
shocked at the revtion that Ricky had cultivated into this level.
She felt confused. The longer she stayed with Ricky, the less she seemed to know about him.
"Hey, everybody, don''t let this guy fool you!" Harald yelled. Being the powerful warrior of Bone
Reinforcement with wide knowledge and experience, he had quickly calmed himself down.
"Please think about this. Even a warrior at the ninth grade of Skin Refinement could not have killed so
many beasts, let alone Ricky who''s only at the eighth grade of Skin Refinement. So that must be
cheating!"

The warriors fixated their suspicious eyes on Ricky again when they heard this.
