"I can't believe you already have such a good handle on the time power, so much so that you could even reverse time," said Paul's will in an astonished tone. It seemed that Ricky's talents had impressed the will greatly, and the will had come to admire him as well.
"I am honored, sir," Ricky demurely answered, slightly bowing his head in respect.
"On top of that, you even took down the Dark Land Blood Mutant's owner, which emphasized how incredibly powerful you are. All these things showed that you are indeed Paul's most suitable successor,"
Paul's will added further.
After that, the will ushered Ricky gently toward a space overflowing with time power.
The Rocks of Heaven and Earth had fused with the arena itself. From an outside perspective, it seemed like everything had gone back to normal, as no one could see what was happening inside the arena.
Seeing this, all the saints that had gathered outside the ancient battlefield immediately spurred their men to prepare. "Get ready, men! As soon as Ricky steps out of there, we will swoop in and take the inheritance from him. But make sure to keep him alive! After all, he took down an enemy with the extreme evil mutant, and we can say that he had done a good thing for the continent."
Mounting tension and thrill settled over the outer areas of the ancient battlefield, as Paul's inheritance had caught the full attention of all the warriors.
"The time power in this place is incredible! It feels like I can be immortal here," Ricky excitedly noted once he had entered the space.
He sensed that the primitive time power in this space and the time power he had in his Time Zone were pretty much in the same league.
He initially thought that his Time Zone was the most primitive of its kind and that it had the most primitive time power. However, to his surprise, the time power here turned out to be as primitive as that in his Time Zone.
That indicated how high Paul's level was in terms of time power.
"This is the space Paul left behind before he died, and he also left his inheritance here. However, before you accept the inheritance, there is one more thing required of you.
You need to make a Martial Arts Oath,"
Paul's will stated with a somber expression. "Of course, sir. What is it about?"
Ricky curiously inquired. "You need to swear that you will never show mercy to the devil race. When they invade our home, you must eliminate them without hesitation,"
Paul's will urged him in a serious tone. "I don't see any problem with those conditions.
Okay, I swear it!" agreed Ricky at once, promising just as Paul's will asked.
Afterward, Paul's will unleashed an invisible power, and the time power in the space surged and swelled like an ocean wave.
Before long, a River of Time emerged, although Ricky could tell that Paul had created it since it looked short.
After all, the real River of Time was endless. "Paul had created this River of Time, and inside it, you can find everything about him including his experience and comprehension of martial arts," revealed Paul's will.
"In short, this River of Time contains his inheritance. If you want to get it, you will need to travel from the beginning to the end of this river. However, I cannot tell you how much you can comprehend from this journey, for it all depends on your luck and talent,"
Paul's will went on. "Can you tell me how long this journey will take?" asked Ricky.
"It could take you at least three to five years," answered Paul's will. "What?!
You mean I need to spend at least three years here?!" Ricky exclaimed in utter shock. This was an unexpected setback because, frankly, Ricky couldn't afford to wait for another three years.
In fact, he had already planned to become a demi-saint or even a saint in five years.
He debated the worthiness of this venture in his mind, and he felt on the fence about it.
