Chapter 163 Confronting Ivan
This time, the severe pain was not able to shake Ricky any more. Ricky had literally been numb to the
severe pain he should have felt. The zing me was not burning Ricky. It was instead burning the
thickyers of blood that covered him.
Reinforced by the two Supreme Skills, Ricky''s mortal body was rapidly developing with every second.
After four hours of that burning intensity, the energy inside Ricky finally rose up again. A dim blue light
bloomed instantly. It reached its zenith, and then immediately was reced by brighter blue light. The
brightness was not too overwhelming, but out of the energy of the explosion, the power waspletely
beyond the Fifth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Form.
At that moment, Ricky hadpletely broken through to the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body
Refining Form.
Covered by that blue energy, the bloodstains on Ricky disappeared after burning off. All of it cracked off
and a newyer of skin was born. Under the blue light the new skin was so glorious.
Ricky''s hair was long and thin but much more elegant than before while his angr face had be
more inviting and handsome. Ricky was like a newborn in that moment and the explosive power that
was like an avnche was swirling within him and affecting every part of him.
On the ninth stair, Ricky could no longer feel the burning pain he had felt before.
Growl! There was a gurgling growling sound, but it wasn''t from any sort of beast, it was from Ricky''s
hungry stomach.
After a few days of hard work, he was really starving.
However, for him, the ninth stair was a natural barbecue tform. He took out arge piece of flesh
from the storage bag, and soon after cooking it, he began to devour it.
After a satisfying meal, Ricky came out of the tform and put on his robe again.
In the light of the tform, Ricky entered another space, which was a huge battle tform that was
covered on all sides by mes.
The mes were not ordinary mes. They were instead made up of various kinds of Beast Fires.

Seeing the Beast Fires, the Chaotic Fire Zone was immediately in eager, and couldn''t wait to swallow
all of them.
''These must be the Beast Fires that have not been imed!'' Ricky thought to himself.
"After so many days, I didn''t expect to see youing out of the channel. It seems your fate to be
killed by me, Ivan!" a voice called out, surprising Ricky.
Immediately, Ricky looked over to the sound and saw Ivan on the battle tform.
''Ivan went through the Ninth tform!'' Ricky thought in surprise. Ricky was in such disbelief because
he never thought anyone but himself could pass through the stairs.
He also knew how difficult it was to pass through. It was even impossible for the first grade warrior of
Bone Reinforcement to pass through. He would already be dead if not for the Nine-degree Body
Refining Form and his two Supreme Skills
''It seems that I underestimated Ivan. Any person who is able to achieve a level like that, at the same
time in the martial arts and casting, can''t be average.''
It was more surprising to Ivan than it was to Ricky. Only he knew what price had to be paid to cross
through the nine stairs.
Although Ricky was a few dayster than Ivan, it looked like the ninth stair did not cause any harm to
him. Moreover, he had a feeling that Ricky''s energy had improved a lot since he had seen himst.
"Ivan, I was taken aback by that fact, too. It doesn''t really matter though. Since the nine stairs didn''t kill
you, I will just have to take care of you!" Ricky said coldly.
"Ha-ha, what a rude and shameless boast!" Ivan said with a disdainfulugh, "You really think you can
frighten me? You naive boy!"
"Come and see how serious I am!" Ricky said.
Bang! Bang! In the next moment they stopped talking altogether and their vigorous energy built and
rose to the surface of their bodies. It didn''t matter if the hatred they held for each other was old or new;
it fueled them enough for thousands of battles.
Just in the beginning of the collision of energy, Ricky directly broke out the Fifth Degree of Nine-degree
Body Refining Form. He couldn''t look down on people who were able to pass the nine stairs despite
everything else.
Ricky was half covered with me and his other half was covered in ice. Ricky intended to, for this time,
mix the power of the two attributes together.
The ck energy, meanwhile, rose from Ivan''s body. It mixed with white mes, gray mes, and the
smell of death. Venom spread out and it made Ricky feel like being stared at by the snake in the
darkness.
''What a horrible atmosphere! it is making me feel being oppressed. Ivan is such a bad-ass! This battle,
no doubt, will be like a diamond cutting a diamond, '' Ricky thought.
"Bring it! I want you to impress me. You little genius without aplete spiritual meridian!" Ivan
laughed coldly. His eyes were full of a great malice.
At that moment, all Ivan''s breathing and expressions gave out one message. Every bit of him was
exuding a force of subtle malice.
"After this battle, problems between you and me will bepletely solved. I don''t have the habit of
taking advantage and taking the first move, so the advantage is yours now!" Ricky said.
"You are so dead, you arrogant boaster!" Ivan said maliciously.
Right then, there was no need to waste time. Before one could see what was happening, Ivan
disappeared so fast that one could see the shadow he left where he had been standing, while his body
was already ten yards up in the sky.
"Multiple Shadow Kicks!"
With a loud battle-cry, Ivan''s body rolled in the air. His right leg had endless spiritual energy gathered
around it. He mmed his leg directly down on Ricky.
As his leg wasing down, the ck spiritual energy actually showed the shadow of dozens of legs.
For a moment, Ricky could not tell the real leg from the illusions of it!
"Since I can''t tell, I will just ignore it," Ricky mumbled. "So, I will freeze them all together!
Ice Cage Fingers-Double Cage Fingers!"
Immediately, the frosty power around Ricky rose up and rushed into his right hand. Then, Ricky pointed
two fingers out at the dozens of shadows of the leg.
Immediately, the two tracks of energy collided fiercely. Dozens of ck shadows directly crushed the
energy of Ricky''s Double Cage Fingers. Countless tiny ice blocks burst open, but that was not the end
of it. The ice blocks instantly came around and frozen the shadows. Then, they were broken again,
dissolving the energy of the smash from the dozens of shadows.
"Good moves, but not good enough to stop me!" Ivan sniffed. As he said that, his figure came out from
behind the broken blocks. His body was rotating at a high speed. A solid kick straightly smashed down
toward the center of Ricky''s face.
"Hmm, my purpose was to destroy the shadows!" Ricky said coldly. As he said that his infernal power
was rising. There was a roaring sound and a fist of me punched out
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the next second, the leg and the me fist collided. All of a sudden, the strong waves from the
collision filled the tform and then swept out all the mes that were on the tform.
