Chapter 64 The Battle With Edgar
The atmosphere of thepetition reached a climatic point as the battle between Ricky and Lean
came to an end. All of the disciples fixed their eyes on Ricky in anticipation, wondering if he would
proceed to the final battle.
"Next, who else wants to challenge the top three outer disciples?" Elder Evan focused his eyes on
Ricky expectantly as well and asked again.
"Me!"
A booming voice filled the room while Edgar walked out of the crowd.
"Edgar...Edgar! It''s him!"
"Looks like he wants to take up the top three outer disciples'' challenge! Is he really that capable?" The
warriors eximed as they watched Edgar walk out of the crowd.
"Yes! Which position do you want to challenge?" Seeing that it was Edgar, Elder Evan nodded
imperceptibly and asked him.
Edgar''s performance in the previous battles was exceptional. Every fight was worth watching as Edgar
gave it his all. It was no wonder that he had caught the attention of Zenith and the Elders...
"Elder Evan, I''m not exactly very capable, but I would like to try... I choose to battle Ricky! " Edgar''s
words echoed throughout the battlefield while he stared at Ricky with a killing intent.
"Edgar has the guts, really! You know what they say: no guts, no glory! I thought he would challenge
Agnes at first. I didn''t expect that he would choose Ricky instead!" Hearing Edgar''s deration and
persistence, many disciples resumed their animated discussions as they expected another great battle
from Edgar.
"No matter the oue, it''s going to be yet another fierce battle! Whoa, I never thought that this year''s
Outer Competition would be this fascinating! "
...
''Edgar does not belong to any faction. Looks like he doesn''t have any other affiliated intentions other
than just having a simple fight with me.'' Ricky mumbled to himself as he saw Edgar''s gaze towards
him. His eyes locked in to his opponent as if he was sizing him up from head to toe.
Ricky''s intention to fight had remarkably risen as well. He had to admit that he was getting excited out
of this whole ordeal. He also wanted to know the exact limit of this "Edgar" warrior who emerged out of
nowhere had the gall to fight a senior like him.
"Ricky, I will give you two hours to prepare yourself before taking up Edgar''s challenge!" Elder Evan
couldn''t help but be extremely pleased with how the events were turning. He quickly acknowledged
Edgar''s request. Two dark horses of this year''s Outer Competition would battle out against each other?
This was definitely one for the books. He was just as enthusiastic as everyone else as he awaited for
thispetition to happen. These warriors were just full of surprises.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Elder Evan, but I don''t really need it." Ricky said confidently as
he took a step forward as if he already knew that he would win the battle.
...
"Ricky doesn''t even need time to rest! Looks like he''dpletely looked down upon Lean!"
"That''s right. After such an intense battle with Lean, he doesn''t even need to rest before taking up
Edgar''s challenge. Isn''t it obvious to say that he''s not at least hurt by Lean? "
...
''Ricky... You''ve gone overboard!'' Having overheard their discussion, Lean, who was standing just
beside, screamed in his heart, his face twisted, surprised at how Ricky could still fight another battle
without resting.
...
"Oh? Looks like you''re very confident! In that case, let the battlemence! " Hearing that Ricky
refused to rest, Elder Evan was somewhat surprised.
...
On the battlefield, Ricky and Edgar were already standing opposite each other. The momentum was
umting and virtually on the verge of explosion as the two warriors held out their weapons and got
ready for the action.
"Ricky, I hope you don''t mind me challenging you today. I think you are really a very powerful man.
That''s why defeating you would be a great milestone," Edgar spoke calmly while he nodded and
acknowledged his opponent''s strength.
"Ha-ha, a powerful man? Edgar, you are really ttering me!" Hearing Edgar, Ricky shook his head
slightly in disbelief that his opponent really had the guts tobat a senior, let alone Ricky, an
outstanding warrior. He didn''t dare endorse such ament. He didn''t need to hear that. After all,
there were a good number of people who were much more powerful than him over there.
"I don''t care what you think about that, but in my opinion, I think the final victory is achieved when I
defeat you in this year''spetition!" Edgar eximed, his momentum had erupted at that precise
moment.
...
The first outer disciple, Rufus, was already bearing grudges against Edgar as he said that. A shing
murderous intent shot through his gloomy eyes.
...
Swish!
At the instant when his spiritual energy started to surge, the silver spear behind Edgar spiraled and
encircled his hands. The spear rang with a frightening coldness while it pierced the air and shot
towards Ricky''s face.
"Ricky, take this! Three-starred Vibrating Icy rays!"
Crack! ng!
Under Edgar''s deafening shout, the spiritual energy that surrounded him raged in a frenzy, transformed
into an endless stream of frosty power and shrouded his arms along with the whole of his silver spear.
The head of his silver spear started to vibrate and shot out three ring and piercing icy rays. One by
one, the icy rays shot out and aimed for Ricky.
Three icy rays overwhelmed Ricky and sent chills down his spine. The icy rays were like ice crystals
that were born in the world of ice.
"This is Light Apperception! I can''t believe that Edgar mastered it!" Sensing the immense power of
Edgar''s silver spear, many disciples eximed, "What''s more is that Edgar''s Light Apperception
exceeded the first grade as well."
"He''s actually beginning the battle with the Light Apperception. It''s true that Edgar doesn''t want to leave
a single chance for Ricky!"
...
Ricky would never want to be defeated. Apart from his vicious skill in the martial arts, he had the agility
of a bird and he was quick enough to notice the spears that were aimed at him. He dodged the spears
which left him a bit puzzled.
But this never stopped Ricky from doing better. He pped his face to bring him back to
consciousness. ''Snap out of it!'' Ricky thought to himself as he cultivated his own icy powers in
response to his opponent''s attack. His pupils dted in shock; his arms stretched to his back and took
out the long saber behind him.
The infernal mes roared behind Ricky as he swung his long saber and charged towards his
opponent. He ran with such speed and force as he grasped his saber tightly with all his might.
"Nonuple me Strike-- the Fifth Strike!"
Kaboom!
Their weapons immediately collided--the infernal fire met with the frozen ice. Chaos was about to begin
as they channeled their utmost strength to attack their opponents.
A force field of power sent the two warriors back a few steps. Both of them got up, rushed toward their
weapons. They assumed their striking position and kept an eye on the Achilles'' heels of each other.
Cling! ng! Bang!
Loud noises of metals nging were heard in the arena as the two warriors exchanged nonstop attacks
and counter attacks in the battlefield. Ice and me flew around the arena as they attacked each other
without mercy.
Boom! Boom!
The battle was far from over. Again, the two separated and took steps back charging their momentum
into its peak. Pumped with raging courage, they summoned all their powers into their weapons in
maximum. The arena was about to blow with all the cheering and the wows from the crowd. Every
single one of the audience were at the edge of their seats.
Edgar, who was donning green, stood upright while mustering this spiritual energy in resonance with
his silver spear, just like a legendary spear hero. Seizing the moment, Edgar took up his silver spear
and with a swish, thousands of icy rays flew in all directions. No one was safe from this spectacr
"Six-starred Vibrating Icy rays! Freeze everything!"
And with a thunderous roar, six icy rays again shot in lightning speed from Edgar''s silver spear, as if six
snowy spears had emerged from the World of Ice. They aimed directly towards Ricky. shing like
light, these spears traveled fast, ready for the kill.
Heaving a deep sigh, Ricky immediately activated the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining
Form. This method gave him an orange aura that enveloped his body, just like the infernal power
around him.
All the training that he went through was not in vain for his robust body was enough to boost his fighting
power to the next stage.
Ricky was focused and nothing in this battle would stop him from achieving victory. He wielded his
saber and executed the Nonuple me Strike--- the Fifth mes Strike again!
And in an instant, the icy rays and infernal mes crashed twice as powerful than they usually were.
Ricky and Edgar ran towards each other and collided their weapons once more.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Under that explosion, the fanatic wave of spiritual energy swept across the entire battlefield again that
formed clouds of dust in the arena.
Both warriors exuded great fighting techniques that it was very difficult to decide at this point who would
win. They were equally goodpetitors to the eyes of the audience.
Thump! Thump!
After a period that seemed like an eternity, heavy footsteps were heard as two silhouettes emerged
from that cloud of spiritual power. The audience leaned forward to see who this warrior was. The
winner had emerged from the ashes.
As the spiritual energies dissipated -- two disheveled bodies were revealed. The audience were
shocked as to what happened. Could they both be dead?
Edgar had a sliver of blood flowing out of his lips. Ricky stood there, a little pale though, his hair unruly
and skin bruised. Ricky obviously emerged victorious.
