Chapter 568 Win The Qualification
Boom!
The moment that Luna''s Star Moon Sword Array copsed and dispersed, Ricky''s Gale Torrent Strike
also abruptly blew up. It turned into airwaves that had great impacting power,pletely crushing the
entire Star Moon Sword Array in an instant.
Poof! At the same time, Luna coughed and blood began to flow out of her mouth, staining her cyan veil.
After the Star Moon Sword Array copsed, Luna was naturally affected by the counterattack force
because she was the master of the array. Luckily, she only vomited a mouthful of blood, and had no
other injuries. She knew that Ricky had cut her some ck. He did notunch any other attacks that
would destroy the hidden patterns in her array.
Those hidden patterns were the real framework of her array. They were also a means of hiding the
center of her array. Most importantly, they were the power source of her array.
Ricky could only truly destroy her array by destroying the hidden patterns within it. Luna, as the master
of the array, would suffer more severe injuries if he did that, however.
Since Ricky held no grudge against her, and their battle was only apetition for the use right of the
Quintessence of Heaven and Earth, Ricky didn''t want to be too rough on her and was afraid of killing
her.
Seeing that the power on the surface of the array had copsed, Ricky withdrew all his attack power
and then looked at Luna calmly without saying anything. He had shown a nice gesture by cutting her
some ck. Now, it was her turn to decide whether to continue thepetition or to admit her failure in
front of the crowd.
"You have won thepetition, and I also want to thank you for your mercy. I would suffer many more
injuries if you truly wanted to hurt me," Luna said sincerely to Ricky as she tried to stabilize herself.
Apparently, she had epted Ricky''s kind gesture.
Meanwhile, one could also see that there was a look of shock in her beautiful eyes. Until then, she still
hadn''t figured out how exactly Ricky could use a skill that was able to use the power of her own array
to attack itself.
After hearing Luna admitting her failure, the warriors in the crowd broke into an intense discussion.
They all hadplicated feelings about the events that had just transpired. "Luna admitted her failure,
so the victory goes to that mysterious stranger that calls himself Russell!" the warriors cried out.
In fact, in the depths of their hearts, they had hoped that Luna would win. She was regarded as a
goddess in the hearts of many people there, after all. Over the years, her reputation had been growing.
Somehow, they had thought deep down that she would be invincible and always win.
"Now, I am bing more and more curious about which force Russell and Ridge are from."
"Don''t worry! We don''t need to try and find that out by ourselves. Garrett, his men, and Luna will be
more curious than we are. Soon, we''ll be able to learn the answer from them."
"Saber Hall has taken the win this time around! That means that the Spear Hall has not won this
as they looked at the tform that the Spear Hall was sitting on.
"This time, even though the Spear Hall invited strong warriors like Keyon and Garrett, it was still
defeated. It seems that the Spear Hall''s fortune may havee to an end. It is high time for it to fall!"
Their discussion went on like that for a while.
''Damn it! Russell, no matter who you are, I, the head of the Spear Hall, will not let you ever leave the
Three-hall City! I''m going to make sure you die here!'' Josiah thought furiously when he heard the
heated discussion going on among the crowd. The look in his eyes became extremely dark and
gloomy.
In order to invite Garrett and other powerful warriors from the Garuda tribe to help his hall to win the
use right of the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth, he had paid an obscene amount of money. It was a
huge risk because he might be faced with the risk of the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth being
robbed from him by their strong supporters even if he did win it. It was just like the story of the Frog and
the Scorpion—he was running the risk of being stung.
Even though he was faced with such a huge risk, he was so spiteful that he only cared about keeping
the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth out of the hands of the other two halls.

It was starting to look as if all of his efforts were in vain due to Ricky joining in thepetition.
Consequently, Josiah hated Ricky to his core for ruining his ns.
At that very moment, as Josiah caught a glimpse of Garrett, who looked serious, and Keyon, who
looked ferocious, he became delighted. He believed that the two young masters of the Garuda tribe
were bing vengeful and would never give up the right to use the Quintessence of Heaven and
Earth to the Saber Hall. Thus, he wouldn''t have tounch any attacks against Ricky because those two
young masters would do all the work for him.
''Russell, maybe, even if I don''t take any actions against you, you still won''t ever be able to leave the
Three-hall City alive, '' Josiah hummed coldly to himself.
Ricky, however, didn''t have the slightest idea that he had be enemies with so many people. Even
though he tried to lie about his name to keep a low profile, he would still be faced with a lot of trouble.
"I''m ttered!" Ricky smiled slightly when he heard Luna''s words.
The reason that he could break the Star Moon Sword Array was kind of due to his good luck. The Gale
Torrent Strike he had used against it was an Omnipotent Skill that only he had grasped. He was the
only one that had the Gale Zone which was a necessary condition to activate such a skill.
Even if Luna still didn''t know very much about his Gale Torrent Strike, he would likely be defeated by
her if he used this Omnipotent Skill to attack her Star Moon Sword Array again. Of course, he would
never tell her that.
"Russell, you are quite powerful," Luna said at once. "If it''s possible, I want to invite you to visit the
Apsara Pce."
"Ha-ha, Since you have invited me, of course, I''d be very delighted to visit you there," Ricky said as he
burst outughing.
Yet, deep down, he didn''t want to go to the Apsara Pce at all, even though many beautiful disciples
lived there. Who knew whether Luna had offered him a sincere invitation, or if she just wanted to find
out his real identity?
Moreover, even if Luna was offering him a sincere invitation, she could not assure that the other people
of the Apsara Pce would have the same sincerity.
"Then, I''ll wait for you to visit our pce. If you don''t mind, I hope that we can be friends," Luna said
sincerely.
"All right! That''s what I''m hoping for, too!" Ricky responded and smiled slightly.
After that, Luna retreated to the high tform where the Sword Hall was located, but she still kept her
eyes on Ricky.
The other young warriors around them heard that Luna had not only invited Ricky to the Apsara
Pce, but had also personally said that she wanted to be friends with Ricky. Immediately, their eyes
were filled with great envy, and they even wanted to drown Ricky for attracting her coveted attention.
''Women, especially beautiful women, will always be the source of men fighting!'' Ricky thought with a
little helplessness when he felt men ring at him with great envy. He didn''t do anything wrong, and
didn''t want to be envied by them.
''After the end of the matter here, I''d better leave as soon as possible with Soar. Moreover, if we want to
keep our identities secret, then we cannot stay in one ce for too long.'' Ricky''s mind was racing as he
felt their hatred being focused on him.
Immediately, he returned to the high tform that the Saber Hall was on.
At that point, thepetition for the right to use the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth among the
three halls finally came to an end. Apparently, the Saber Hall had won in the end.
After Ricky returned, Scar, the leader of the Saber Hall, stood up on the high tform and said to the
top leaders of the other two halls, "Guys, the winners and losers have been determined now. Please
hand over the rewards of thepetition ording to our previous agreements."
"All right!" Nora, the leader of the Sword Hall, replied readily at once. After a flip of her finger, a cyan
stone rushed toward Scar.
Ricky knew that the cyan stone that she sent toward him was one of the keys to enter the ce that the
Quintessence of Heaven and Earth was located. There were three keys in total, and each leader of the
three halls had one of them.
The three cyan stones were not ordinary stones—they were the treasures from Heaven and Earth that
were called the Blood Essence Stones. Once the blood of a certain family was dripped into the stone,
the blood power of the family would be preserved in the Blood Essence Stone forever.
Only bybining the three blood powers of the three halls could anyone enter the secret ce where
the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth was hidden.
The winner of thepetition was qualified to get the other two Blood Essence Stones from the other
halls.
Of course, after the winner got the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth, it was also necessary for them
to return the stones to their rightful owners.
The surrounding warriors were quite puzzled as to what was going on. After eachpetition, they all
knew that the two halls who failed would have to hand over a cyan stone. Yet, they didn''t know what
the stones were used for.
They had tried to pry into the whole matter, but none of them could find out the real answer.
As time went by, they all gave up on trying to figure out the secret behind the stones.
After getting the cyan stone from the Sword Hall, Scar then looked at the leader of the Spear Hall
expectantly.
The Sword Hall leader had handed over the Blood Essence Stone so readily, but the Spear Hall would
not be so ready to give up its stone. Josiah didn''t show any signs that he was going to hand over the
stone at all. Scar was quite aware that it would not be easy to get it from him.
