Chapter 173 An Unexpected Reversal


    What Ricky said really shocked them. To be exact, it was what he was proposing that really took them


    by surprise.


    Was Ricky really a genius in their eyes? Yes, he was! That went without saying!


    But they knew Ricky''s strength and the history of his timeline in Blood Purification. So, if Ricky wanted


    to challenge Caleb and Elvis, it was impossible for it to be an evenly matched battle!


    All of them were at the peak of ninth grade of Blood Purification. Even if Ricky had the ability to


    challenge his superiors, he would at least have to reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification. After all,


    the ninth grade was the highest level in this realm!


    And both of them were the strongest in this realm.


    "Ricky, that''s not funny at all!" Caleb sneered. "It''s like you''re telling us that you never looked up to us in


    the first ce!"


    "Ricky, let me do it!" Autn reminded Ricky in a deep voice. He too thought that this proposal was


    inappropriate.


    If he were in Caleb and Elvis'' shoes, he would also think Ricky was belittling him.


    Ricky had spent a costly amount to invite Caleb and Elvis. There was no need to provoke them at this


    point, because it was definitely against Ricky''s goal!


    What was more, in such a situation, Caleb and Elvis would not show mercy in the battle. Even if


    Autn was present, he might not be able to stop them in time!


    "It''s just a pure curiosity on my part. I mean no offense at all!" Ricky smiled earnestly.


    At the same time, he also said to Autn confidently, "Autn, you can trust me. I don''t think I''ve


    disappointed you yet!"


    "Alright! Be careful!" Autn said reluctantly. Although he didn''t think Ricky could seed, he still held


    out some hope for this warrior who had surprised everyone again and again.


    "Well! Since you are so ''confident'' about this, we''ll ept your challenge!" Caleb and Elvis agreed,


    both still a little peeved. They had decided to teach Ricky a lesson for his arrogant attitude.


    Moreover, this situation had hurt their dignity...


    "Just tell me, which one of us do you want to fight?" Caleb said coldly. He was already imagining how


    they could humiliate Ricky next.


    "Since I want to test both of you, of course I''d like you to fight with me together!" Ricky responded with


    a smile.


    "How could he be so foolish!?"


    "You are so arrogant and conceited!"


    Caleb and Elvis shouted angrily at this.


    It was obvious that Caleb and Elvis and even Heather and Edgar thought Ricky was too bold in his


    suggestion. Autn wanted to hold Ricky back.


    ''It''s arrogant for him to say that!'' Autn thought to himself. ''Oh well, I won''t interfere now. It''s a good


    time to dispel Ricky''s arrogance through Caleb and Elvis. And let him realize that there are people who


    are better than him.''


    "Boom!" At the next moment, Elvis lurched forward. The power of water from spiritual energy whirled


    around his right fist. Then he qucikly threw a punch at Ricky''s face.


    ''Come on, let''s try my new skills!'' Ricky murmured to himself, smiling mischievously.


    This was the first time that he had a chance to fight with a warrior at the peak of the ninth grade of


    Blood Purification. So, he would do his best!


    In the next moment, Ricky''s right arm was surrounded by intense me. Looking carefully, it was


    apparent that there were two kinds of colors of the me. One was blood-red and the other was bright


    red.


    Those two kinds of mes turned into the shape of snakes, like a Yin-Yang pattern which surrounded


    Ricky''s right fist. Suddenly, the powerful me was swept up.


    And Caleb and Elvis were both startled by this powerful me.


    ''How could he have such a powerful momentum?'' they thought in shock. They felt rather taken aback.


    After all, his momentum was stronger than Elvis''!


    Their eyes widened.


    But Autn was staring at that red me on Ricky''s arm, and murmured to himself, ''Why does it seem


    so familiar? It''s as if it resonates with the me in my body!''


    At the same time, Ricky also had the same feeling. He felt that something nearby had some resonance


    with his Heaven Melting Fire. There was only one reason, which was that there was a kind of me


    simr to the Heaven Melting Fire.


    However, there was no time for Ricky to think about this now.


    He concentrated all his spirit and strength, and collided with Elvis''s fists heavily.


    At the moment of impact, Elvis felt a powerful force that was in no way inferior to him which punched


    his heart mightily. There was no doubt that this strength could bnce his power.


    "How could he do this? How could he be so powerful?" Elvis said incredulously as his eyes widened in


    disbelief. He sensed that Ricky''s level was now at the seventh grade of Blood Purification!


    "He''s at the seventh grade of Blood Purification!" Caleb said in surprise, the others present echoeing


    his disbelief.


    It was not so long since Ricky began his journey into Blood Purification. How could he have reached


    the seventh grade in such a short time!? At the beginning, Ricky was much weaker than Edgar and


    Heather!


    But now, Heather was at the first grade of Blood Purification while Edgar was at the second grade. How


    on earth did Ricky manage to be at the seventh grade so quickly!?


    However, what shocked them more was Ricky could stand up to warriors who were at the ninth grade


    of Blood Purification.


    Even a genius in the Heaven Wood Land wouldn''t challenge someone better than himself!


    ......


    As Elvis still reeled in shock, a powerful wave swept through his fist in an instant. It devoured most of


    his strength in a sh. It was the power of Devouring Fire!

    Then, Elvis also felt another powerful strength. It was so manic and intense that it sted into the


    meridians of his right arm through his own fist.


    "Bang!" Elvis''s body trembled and retreated heavily. Then a powerful force swept to his chest from the


    right arm. Suddenly, a spurt of blood shot out from his mouth.


    Everyone was in disbelief, their mouths opened in absolute shock.


    Especially for Elvis, who felt rather rmed because he had been beaten by a warrior whom he


    thought was weaker than him.


    Ricky didn''t retreat at all and his momentum increased sharply. Then he threw a punch directly towards


    to Caleb.


    "Caleb, you should fight with me too. Because this is an examination after all!" Ricky grinned as his


    powerful punch raced towards to Caleb.
