Chapter 80 Trio Array
"Grr! I''ll kill you!"
n''s howl rang through the silence like sudden thunder. Fumbling to get up from the ground, he broke
out in full force.
The power he exuded was characteristic of the first grade of Blood Purification. It burst forth in full
swing.
Immediately, n pulled out his weapon from his back and turned his palms forward. The weapon
quickly expanded and became a ck iron spear.
"The Earthlight Iron Spear!"
With a shout, n ran and leaped high in the ring, spear in hand. All his strength was concentrated on
the spear, which burst into a powerful ze and hurtled towards Ricky.
"Haven''t you realized what you''re up against?" Ricky said coldly, calmly watching n''s infuriated
attack.
Ricky burst into mes and pulled out his Iron Destroyer, red spiritual energy surrounding it instantly.
Ricky then spun around at a high speed and swung the long saber from above.
"ng!" The two weapons collided, and n''s ck spear was flung away. Meanwhile, however,
Ricky''s long saber flew straight at n.
The sight of the rapidly approaching de thrust n into a state of panic and despair, and he stood
frozen, forgetting how to deflect it.
If this had happened elsewhere, Ricky would have killed n without mercy. But it was inappropriate to
do so in the house of Shui n. Instantly, he twisted his weapon and gave n a tremendous blow to
the chest with the back of his long saber.
With a grunt, n fell backwards into the ring again, bleeding this time.
But unlike before, however, he failed to get up and instead passed out on the spot. Ricky studied him
for a few moments, wondering if he was faking it or not.
A stunned silence fell over the crowd, but only briefly.
Soon the chatter increased exponentially, like the start of a rain shower. They talked about the man in
the ring and Agnes.
In an instant, all the attention hadpletely shifted from n to Ricky.
Sherry was startled out of her dazed shock by the loud chatter, her beautiful eyes full of bitterness. She
stared at Ricky and Agnes angrily, feeling hatred develop for n.
"It seems you were right, sister. Disciples of the Snow Sect are by no means easy to defeat. It was a
truly wise choice to send Agnes there before," another elder sighed.
"That''s right. After all, a connection with the innate spirit is advantageous. I think that hereafter, it would
be a good move to just send more disciples to the Snow Sect if there is an opportunity. Even if they fail
at cultivating, they shall still meet some outstanding disciples who can inspire them," the elder woman
replied.
Then she stood up, asking a couple of the disciples to carry n out of the ring and to the medic for
treatment.
She then formally announced that Ricky and Agnes had qualified for the factional contest.
Exiting the ring, Ricky followed Agnes back to their quarters. However, along the way, multiple people,
regardless of whether they knew Agnes or not, all passionately approached him, chattering excitedly.
Ricky was again overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Shui disciples.
This was not surprising, though. There were so many women in the Shui n who would definitely
jump at the chance to meet such a powerful genius warrior like him.
Fortunately, Agnes held a ce of high respect among the disciples, and she ordered them to give him
space, so that Ricky could go in peace.
"The factional contest will be held in three days, so take a good rest during these days!" Agnes said as
she walked Ricky to his quarters. "Let me know if you need anything, anytime, during these three
days."
"Why, aren''t you going to stay with me these three days? I''m sure I will stand a better chance of
winning the factional contest if you keep mepany," Ricky teasingly flirted with the noble Agnes.
nk faced, Agnes ignored him. She pushed him in through the door and left.
She knew it would be dangerous for her to stay there with him.
...
Shaking his head slightly, Ricky sat cross-legged on the futon and continued toprehend the Five
Beasts Arts.
As Ricky had practiced the Whiz Fist at the beginning, he quickly understood the fierce tiger part of the
Five Beasts Arts, and with the help of the Devouring Skill, he had achieved the minor achievement in
only a few days.
In addition, some fighting methods and biting forms of tigers were now well integrated into his fist,
along with his saber skills.
After a preliminary understanding of the secrets of tigers, Ricky intended to focus next on the cultivation
method of deer.
Imitating deer was all about speed and agility. Ricky was already very good on offense and defense,
but he knew he had to work on speed. It might be his only weakness at the moment.

Mastering the Devouring Skill and Nine-degree Body Refining Form, he was fully able topete
with warriors at the second grade of Blood Purification at the point. If he further improved his speed and
agility, it would be possible for him to defeat or even kill a warrior at the second grade of Blood
Purification.
Concentrating all of his energy into hisprehension, Ricky was absorbed in the Five Beasts Arts.
With the aid of his regained spiritual meridian and the Chaos Manual, he soon fell into meditation and
Five Beasts Arts. Deep in his mind, Ricky was like a reindeer running through the mountains, nimble
and sprite without a single stumble or falter. No creature could catch up with him.
For the warrior of Blood Purification, time passed quickly once he fell into practice. Three dayster,
Ricky felt as if he had only been a deer running through the mountains for a brief time.
But despite feeling like time had sped by quicker than usual, Ricky could tell that he had improved a lot.
Theprehension he gained in three days had definitely increased his speed by nearly 10 percent.
The 10 percent was by all means a significant improvement, for it had definitely made Ricky as fast as
any warrior at the second grade of Blood Purification.
''I don''t think the Five Beasts Arts is merely a inferior ck Level cultivation method. I''m suspecting that
because it hasn''t been practiced by warriors for so long, its importance was forgotten and its rank
consequently dropped, '' Ricky thought to himself.
…
Agnes arrived early on the day of the factionpetition.
"Ha-ha, did you miss me these past three days, Agnes my beauty?" Ricky teased as he opened the
door to greet her.
"The parameters of the contest have been determined. It is to be the Trio Array!" Agnes said, ignoring
Ricky''s teasing.
"Trio Array? It''s a type of array, is it?" Ricky asked.
"Yes, but not exactly!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well first of all, the Trio Array has the power of an array, which means they attack us. But they are
controlled by the method of puppet, just as we manipte puppets!" Agnes exined.
"Puppets mean they have no mind of their own... Isn''t that good for us?" Ricky rified.
"Yes, but that''s also a downside! For a thing with no cognitive abilities doesn''t feel fear!" Agnes said,
shaking her head.
"That makes sense!" Ricky mused and nodded, "So what exactly is a Trio Array?"
"Wooden Men Array, Stone Men Array, and Bronze Men Array! And if two factions pass the Trio Array
and there''s a tie, the final result will be decided in a battle," Agnes exined. It would be an interesting
challenge.
