Chapter 58 Earth Armor
"Boom!"
As the noise resounded through the crowd, Ricky and Jarvis elevated their powers quickly.
"Earth Armor!"
Jarvis shouted, as his power immediately surged to a new height, looming heavily like mountains,
making it hard to breathe. A tornado of dust in the arena rapidly surged to his side.
Ricky could feel that Jarvis was absorbing the power of the earth in the arena.
It all happened in an instant. Jarvis''s entire body was covered with earthy yellow film. It was just like
armor.
"It is the cultivation method——Earth Armor!" Many disciples eximed upon seeing this. They grew
even more excited.
"Yes, Earth Armor is a cultivation method at the advanced stage of the Yellow Level! It is said that there
are nine grades, and whenever the cultivator upgrades, his body bes entirely covered with ayer
of earthy yellow film!"
"The film has powerful defense properties, but it''s also good for offensive moves! After all, its attack
force is more advanced."
"But, he cultivated only oneyer of earthy yellow film! That''s not much if it''s going up against Ricky!"
"The secondyer of earthy yellow film!"
"The thirdyer of earthy yellow film!"
Jarvis shouted again, seemingly all of the dust in the arena and even from several meters outside
surged to him. Now, his body waspletely covered with two moreyers of earthy yellow film.
"Oh my gosh. There are threeyers of earthy yellow film now! Ricky should watch out!"
"Jarvis is at the peak state for a Skin Refinement cultivator with these threeyers of earthy yellow
film!"
...
''''Ricky, very few people can even defend themselves against my threeyers of earthy yellow film! So
your defeat today will not be so humiliating," Jarvis said coldly, a yellow light harshly glowing from his
eyes.
"So that is your special Earth Armor? A cultivation method at the advanced stage of the Yellow Level?
How interesting! Don''t disappoint me!" Ricky sneered, his fighting spirit reflecting in his eyes as it
intensified.
"Ricky, you may draw your sword!" Elder Evan said slowly from the dais.
"Elder Evan, maybe or maybe not, this young warrior could also be regarded as a master in the body
refinement cultivation methods!" Elder Abbott smiled.
"Oh? Is he a master?" Elder Neil said in surprise.
After all, people naturally thought that Ricky was a swordsman because he carried a sword on his
back. Of course, a swordsman''s ace move would be his sword.
"I believe the young warrior''s cultivation method will be a big surprise to you," Elder Abbott smiled
mysteriously.
"Well, something tells me that you and the sect chief have already guessed his ace move, isn''t that
right? Hope he won''t let us down!" Elder Lucia said with a smile, looking at Ricky inquisitively.
...
"The First Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form!"

A red light gleaming in his eyes, Ricky transformed quickly. The color of his hair, eyebrows and skin
turned a deep, bloody red, and his body grew in size slightly. It was Nine-degree Body Refining
Form.
"Look, it is the magical cultivation method!" Many disciples eximed, craning their heads for a clearer
view.
...
"Abbott, is that his trump card? Well, it doesn''t seem to be anything special..." Elder Lucia squinted her
old eyes and said.
However, before she could continue, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Elder Evan and Elder Neil were just as surprised. They all looked at each other, stunned.
"The Nine-degree Body Refining Form!" they murmured at the same time and looked at Zenith for
confirmation.
"Yes, Elders. Ricky had no spiritual meridian when he sessfully cultivated the Nine-degree Body
Refining Form! This is exactly what our Snow Sect needs to confirm!" Zenith said, also feeling a little
bit of shock.
"The Nine-degree Body Refining Form! This cultivation method has not been used in the Snow Sect
for nearly a thousand years!" Elder Evan said excitedly. He gazed at Ricky, satisfaction written on his
face.
"Yes, true! Nearly a thousand years, and we all nearly forget about it." Zenith took a deep breath,
saying, "We are fortunate that a thousand yearster, God sent us a disciple who has no spiritual
meridian! Our ancestor''s cultivation method can be restored to us!"
"Ricky must be a determined young fellow! It''s no easy task to cultivate to the peak of the First Degree
of Nine-degree Body Refining Form. If he cultivates to the advanced stage of the Nine-degree Body
Refining Form and also upgrades himself to the advanced stage of the Bone Reinforcement, our
Snow Sect will have one more spiritual king!" Elder Evan said.
"It will be so hard! It will be much harder than sparing no efforts to train a real innate spiritual king!"
Elder Lucia said, sounding a little defeated.
"Well, we can only hope from this day forth," Zenith smiled.
...
A look of uneasiness came over Jarvis''s confident face when he saw Ricky use the Nine-degree Body
Refining Form. He knew this kind of magical cultivation method very well, and he had wanted to
learn it for himself.
But soon after, his confidence in Earth Armor overcame his uneasiness.
"Fist Force of Earth Armor!"
Jarvis did a martial-arts squat, with his feet nted on the ground like the roots of a tree, so as to
channel the power of Earth to his fists.
All of a sudden, Jarvis pushed out a forceful hit right towards Ricky''s face.
"Body Refining Whiz Fist!"
Anticipating this, Ricky umted more power. His body burst out in ring red light and behind him
rose his spiritual energy which resembled a tiger.
Ricky punched forcefully at Jarvis''s face, the roar of a tiger echoing into the sky.
"Fuck you! How dare you try to defeat me with the cultivation method at only the intermediate stage of
the Yellow Level!" Jarvis growled. Now he was even more impatient to kill Ricky for his insolence.
"It is quite enough to defeat you just with it!" Ricky said lightly, standing his ground.
"Boom! Boom!" The sound of punching fists broke the sound barrier, and the arena was swept with a
violent spiritual energy.
All the disciples stared at the arena intently, afraid to miss anything.
And on the dais, Zenith and four Elders also kept their eyes peeled. They wanted to assess the true
power of Nine-degree Body Refining Form.
"p!"
The violent st bursting out from their punching fists, and Jarvis stumbled backwards a few steps. He
was wounded and bleeding.
While Ricky just took three steps backwards slightly, obviously only a result of the backward
momentum.
Now, it was clear who the winner would be.
"Could it really be? The Nine-degree Body Refining Form? Only by using the First Degree of Nine-
degree Body Refining Form could Risky have totally defeated Jarvis!" The four Elders eximed.
"The Nine-degree Body Refining Form exponentially increases the body''s strength. No wonder our
ancestors were capable of killing innate spiritual kings!"
"Elders, did you notice that Ricky has only cultivated to the eighth grade of Skin Refinement, but his
power exceeds that greatly? Amazing!" Zenith said with satisfaction.
...
"Well, it seems that you don''t deserve your rank! Fifth position in the top ten outer disciples" Ricky said
with disdain as he stood over his opponent. Jarvis went blind with rage. All he could think about was
killing Ricky.
Rattle! Jarvis clenched his fists, his bones straining. He was going mad with anger.
"Ricky, you will die today!"
Jarvis shouted and channeled the Earth Armor once again...
