Chapter 29 The Incredible Blood Zone
"Ah!" screamed Finn.
His body was consumed by the raging mes in midair before he fell into the pond.
The water was shallow and it was easy to see that Finn was fatally wounded. Ricky decided to deliver
the deciding blow to end his life.
Walking into the pond, he yed his sword under Finn''s head, severing it from his body in one swoop.
Then, he took away Finn''s ironwood with him.
Turning around, he saw Heather and Waylon still fighting.
Sensing Ricky''s murderous gaze, Waylon felt a pang of fear. He realized that Finn must have lost and
the sight of his dead body in the pond sent a chill to his heart immediately.
Wracked with fear, Waylon turned around and tried to flee.
"It''s toote to run now!" Ricky sneered, smiling at Waylon''s receding figure.
Heather, who was unwilling to admit herself outdone, tried to stop Waylon from leaving.
Striding up to Waylon, Ricky blocked his path. Since Heather was standing right behind Waylon, he
knew that it would be hard for him to escape now.
"Boy, you''d better let me go, and I will consider letting you live. Or you prepare for the wrath of the
Wang n! They will definitely tear you into pieces!" Waylon threatened indignantly.
"Hahaha! Don''t you know? Thest person who said something like that to me is dead now," Ricky
replied ominously.
Without another word, Ricky shed at Waylon with his burning sword.
With Heather''s help, Waylon couldn''t evenst three more strokes before he fell dead.
"Thank you, Ricky!" eximed Heather, her face flushed a little.
"It''s my pleasure. It''s an honor to help a beauty such as you. You''re wee!" Ricky replied teasingly.
Heather''s face turned immediately red. She was embarrassed yet happy to be called a beauty.
"Are you from Lion King Castle?" Ricky asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, my father is the master of Lion King Castle," Heather replied, nodding. She was really proud of
and adored her father. His approval meant everything to her.
"Oh! That means you didn''t even need to fight for Sacred Blood Crystal through this Iron Blood Trial!"
Ricky said, visibly excited.
"I just wanted to go through this training," Heather replied.
"So, it means that you don''t need these ck dots, do you? Then I''ll take all five hundred ck dots.
Thank you!" Ricky said with a beaming smile. He then transferred Finn''s and Waylon''s ck dots to his
ironwood at once, quivering with joy.
Heather was stunned by his actions.
Even though she didn''t need the ck dots, she thought that Ricky should have at least asked for her
permission as a gentleman should. Better yet, he could have offered to give her half of it. However,
Ricky took all the ck dots without even waiting for her response. She felt a little upset. She
wondered if she had lost her charm.
Just a few minutes ago, he called her a beauty. She thought he would have shown her some more
consideration.
"Ms. Heather, do you have more ck dots? Can you give all of them to me in return for saving your
life?" Ricky asked cheekily. Heather had been lost in thought, trying to figure him out.
Now his suggestion made her even angrier.
"No," she replied distantly.
"What a pity!" Ricky was a little disappointed, but he didn''t even notice that her tone had changed
already.
However, now that he had nearly seven hundred ck dots, he was quite confident that he could win
the spot for getting into the Sacred Blood Pond.
After speaking, Ricky turned to Anaconda-tailed Tiger''s dead body. Since Heather was standing right
next to him, he couldn''t put the corpse into his Blood Zone in front of her.
''This carcass is going to be wasted. I should have at least taken the valuable parts, '' Ricky said to
himself.
So he chopped down Anaconda-tailed Tiger''s tail, sharp ws, fangs and some flesh, and bounded
them with a rope.
Heather was surprised to see him gathering Anaconda-tailed Tiger''s body parts, so Ricky exined,
"It''s a beast at Blood Purification level. Its body parts are very valuable! We can sell them for a lot of
money."
"Are you hard up?" Heather asked.
"Why, of course I am. I''m not the child of a castle''s master," Ricky replied earnestly.
"But you''re such a great warrior! You were even able to defeat someone whose grade is above yours.
Are you really not a young master of a noble n?" Heather asked inquisitively. By now, she had
already forgotten that her brief annoyance with him.
"What do you mean? Because I''m such a great warrior, you''re suggesting I''m definitely a young
master? Well, I''m to let you down. I''m not. I''m just an ordinary outer disciple!" Ricky exined.
Then they walked out of the swamp, chatting the whole while.
*
At the edge of the swamp, Ricky suddenly stopped.
He felt something odd happen in his Blood Zone. He had put four bodies of the beasts in there before,
but now they were gone. It seemed that the bodies had been burnt by the mysterious fire in Blood
Zone, and they had turned into some blood vitality.
While some of the blood vitality had been absorbed by the Chaos Manual, the rest was running through
his body through the spiritual meridian to strengthen him.
''It''s amazing!'' Ricky was in shock at what Blood Zone was capable of.
''What the hell is this Blood Zone? It can even digest bodies and turn them into blood vitality to
strengthen me!''
"Hey, what''s wrong?" Heather asked. She found it odd that Ricky had suddenly stopped walking.
"Heather, wait. Could you please stand guard for me? I need to rest!" Ricky leaped up a big tree
nearby, sat in the lotus position and began to refine the blood vitality.
"Hey! I''m not your bodyguard!" Heather shouted, irritatedly stamping her foot.
But Heather soon began to feel happy. She thought to herself that Ricky must trust her very much. That
was why he had asked her to stand guard for him.
*
Ricky concentrated on refining the blood vitality while Heather was lost in various fancies and
conjectures.
With the blood vitality, Ricky began to strengthen his seventh grade of Skin Refinement. After two
hours, he had already reached the peak of the seventh grade of Skin Refinement.
''The fire in the Blood Zone can burn the bodies of the beasts into blood vitality! How great it is! I can
improve my speed of cultivation by ying beasts and putting them inside it! My speed of cultivation
might be even faster than the talents, '' Ricky spected to himself. Deep in thought, he was very
excited at this discovery.
He put the corpse of the Anaconda-tailed Tiger inside Blood Zone while Heather wasn''t looking. Then
he began to ignite the fire to burn the body.
As expected, the fire briskly turned Anaconda-tailed Tiger''s body parts into blood vitality.
Some of them were still absorbed by the Chaos Manual, while the rest of them were absorbed by Ricky
himself.
''That''s incredible! How amazing!'' He was right about what the Blood Zone was capable of. He could
barely control himself from shouting out loud.
Without hesitation, Ricky focused his mind, continuing to absorb the blood vitality.
Anaconda-tailed Tiger was a beast of Blood Purification. Its blood vitality was much more superior to
the beasts'' at the seventh grade of the Skin Refinement.
''Maybe it''s the time to take a chance! I might be able to breakthrough to reach the eighth grade of Skin
Refinement!'' Ricky thought.

Four hourster, the energy inside his body seemed to be ready to burst. It was a sign of an impending
breakthrough. Ricky''s eyes shot open all of a sudden.
Heather''s mouth fell open at the energy which was now surrounding Ricky.
"You...You...How could you... I can''t believe it! You''ve reached the eighth grade of Skin Refinement!"
Heather couldn''t help but shout. She could sense that Ricky was in the same grade as her now! It was
unheard of!
