Chapter 181 The Final Aces


    Boom!


    Another deafening sound was let out by another collision of the two powers moving with immense


    momentum, causing the temperature to rise once again as countless me spiritual energies ignited all


    around the whole battle tform. In that moment, the two warriors were forced to retreat.


    However, they were not quick enough to spare themselves from any damages. Both of their top clothes


    were immediately burned to ashes from being too close to the powerful ze.


    Now that their tops were both burned to ashes, the lean, masculine bodies of the two warriors became


    exposed to the public.


    But more than that, even their bodies were not able to escape the wrath of the fierce me wave. Their


    bodies were covered with blood, deep gashes and burn wounds covered almost every inch of their


    bodies.


    The two of them spit out a mouthful of blood.


    They immediately dug their weapons into the ground in order to regain their footing. Yet, the massive


    force from the collision still managed to throw them to the corner ends of the battle tform.


    "How could their collision be so fierce? Are they really warriors at the Blood Purification?" some


    disciples eximed. They could not take their eyes off the intensepetition.


    "Yes, even collisions between warriors at the first grade of Bone Refinement can only be that fierce."


    "Wyn, howe didn''t Ricky use his devouring power?" While the other disciples were astonished and


    confused, Hector kept to himself and thought about what was happening. After a while, he whispered,


    "If Ricky doesn''t use that power, Gennadi''s final ace will be useless, unless he chooses to use it in


    public!"


    "It appears that we have underestimated Ricky. A moment ago, it would have been the perfect time for


    him to use his devouring power, but he didn''t. It only means that he was able to detect Gennadi''s


    corrosive fire toxin skill," Wyn exined.


    ''What a terrible opponent! Elder Logan is right. Ricky has to be killed as soon as possible, before his


    cultivation improves any further. Else, things will get totally out of control, '' Wyn thought, his mind


    racing.


    Ricky and Gennadi had no time to listen to the people chatting. They had tricky troubles to handle.


    ''Why didn''t he use his mysterious devouring power just now? Was he able to detect my fire toxin skill?


    Damn it!'' Gennadi cursed in his mind upon seeing that Ricky still looked the same, aside from the


    injuries on his body.


    ''His fire toxin didn''t work. I''m guessing his next move would probably be the final collision!'' Ricky


    thought to himself. ''Ha, that''s what I am hoping for as well. It is time for me to take his ce as the


    number one inner disciple.''


    "I have to say, Ricky, I''m impressed. Your fighting power is a lot stronger than I expected, especially for


    someone who is still at the seventh grade of Blood Purification," Gennadi said grimly as he stood up.


    "But it doesn''t change the fact that you are only a warrior at the seventh grade of Blood Purification.


    You are not qualified to challenge the authority of a warrior at the ninth grade of Blood Purification!"


    As he spoke, the ming spiritual energy on his body became stronger and stronger until it reached the


    maximum.


    His maximum power was so strong that it was about to burn the space around him.


    "Now, I will let you see just how strong the peak power of a warrior at the ninth grade of Blood


    Purification is," Gennadi added.


    After that, red runes showed up; the power of manuals surged out and the Light Apperception at the


    fourth grade filled in the air. The strongest power of Gennadi was quickly dashing toward the sword in


    his hands.


    In spite of how strong Gennadi''s power already was, he still was not over unleashing all of it. Within


    Gennadi''s ming spiritual energy, a ck and red corrosive fire toxin appeared, wrapping his spiritual


    energy like a sticky coat.


    As soon as the fire toxin came out, the whole space was filled with the stingy odor that smelled like


    something was being corroded.


    "This corrosion power is just too formidable. What kind of cultivation method is Gennadi using?" many


    disciples wondered and asked.


    "It is supposed to be a powerful cultivation method called Fire Toxin Skill. Ricky is in grave danger."


    "Gennadi is using the fire toxin! What a cruel person! It is said that such a toxic cultivation method


    cannot be used to harm others without the warrior harming himself first."


    "So, this should be the ace card of Gennadi."


    The disciples were so engaged in their discussion.


    "Finally, you are willing to expose the so-called cultivation method of fire toxin," Ricky said lightly.


    He tried to hide his fear, but in that moment, Ricky knew he was in grave danger. He could feel the


    imminent threat exuding from Gennadi.


    Gennadi was right. Ricky was only at the seventh grade of Blood Purification while Gennadi was at the


    ninth grade of Blood Purification. There was a huge difference between the two grades, and that put


    Ricky at a huge disadvantage.


    What was worse was that Ricky''s devouring power did not seem to work on Gennadi. He was in grave


    trouble and they both knew it.


    "My master, be careful! The consequence of such a fierce fire toxin is not just as simple as corroding


    your body and meridians. At this rate, I''m afraid even your spiritual energy can be slightly corroded,"


    Alva said, reminding his master to be cautious at this critical moment.


    ''His fire toxin is too strong and dangerous. I have no choice now. I need to fight it with my top level


    power, '' Ricky thought.


    "Ricky, check this! Fire Toxin Manual—Fire Toxin Sword!" Gennadi bellowed.


    After that, he leapt up to the air as his body rotated at high speed, so did the Fire Toxin Sword in his


    hand, projecting numerous sword shadows in midair.


    His movements were so fast that it was hard to see what was happening. Suddenly, Gennadi lunged


    towards Ricky.


    Then, the countless sword shadows gathered together at once and merged with the sword in


    Gennadi''s hands. At once, the audience found that the sword not only shone brightly, but also was rich


    in fire toxin. Its momentum was so powerful that even the warriors at the first grade of Bone


    Reinforcement would flinch and be overwhelmed.


    More than that, Gennadi''s body was moving at a momentum that could only be achieved by the


    warriors of Bone Reinforcement.


    In the booming sound, there were faint sounds of bone cracking and vibrating from Gennadi, which


    only belonged to the warriors of Bone Reinforcement.


    "Sure enough, as Autn said, Gennadi is already a half step into the Bone Reinforcement," Ricky said


    quietly as he felt Gennadi''s powerful momentum.


    "My master, in the whole Misty South, Gennadi is talented enough to be called a third ss genius!"


    Alva noted upon sensing Gennadi''s power.


    "Oh? So you mean geniuses are also divided into different sses?" Ricky asked curiously in his mind.


    Nevertheless, Ricky did not give up. His spiritual energy did not stop surging, and even though he was


    only at the Fourth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form in that moment, he gave his all to


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    push himself directly to the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form. He had no choice but


    to do so, since his Devouring Fire could not work.


    "My master, geniuses are roughly divided into five sses. Third ss geniuses are those who have no


    rivals of the same level. Second ss geniuses are those who are able to challenge warriors one level


    higher than them. First ss geniuses, on the other hand, are those who have the ability to challenge


    warriors who are as much as two levels higher than they are. Gennadi, as I mentioned, is a third ss


    genius," Alva exined.


    "Based on your current situation, My master, you rank among the first ss geniuses," Alva noted.


    A momentter, he continued, "Even more powerful than the first ss genius is the so called peerless


    genius. These geniuses are able to challenge even those three levels higher than them. In the whole


    Misty South, peerless geniuses can only be seen from the top forces."


    "You said there are five sses, but you''ve only mentioned four. What is the other one?" Ricky couldn''t


    help but ask to satiate his curiosity.


    "Above the peerless geniuses, there are those called wizard geniuses or genies!" Alva replied. "They


    can challenge those up to four levels higher than them. Since their existence transcends the truth, they


    are just too rare to see.


    If such wizard geniuses and genies don''t die, they will be the sole strong warriors on a continent!"


    "The peerless genius, wizard genius, genie… Wow, I hope I one day get to meet some of them," Ricky


    said in a barely audible voice.


    He had let himself get too caught up in his conversation with Alva. Now, he had to fully concentrate


    once again on the battle with Gennadi.


    In the explosion of his momentum, Ricky''s whole body turned into dark blue from the light blue color it


    had been before due to his absorption of nearly a hundred kinds of Beast Fire.


    "Now that I am at the peak of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form, I hope it will be


    enough to defeat Gennadi!" Ricky muttered to himself.
