'This is just wrong. That kind of strength can't belong to Rupert. If it were really his, he would have shown all of it off from the get-go. In addition, only some array power requires blood sacrifice. This can't be right.'
This immediately occurred to Ricky right after the shocking event that unfolded right before him.
Murmurs coming from the other warriors at the scene also validated his suspicions.
"It's the Miraculous Water Orb! It is said that every master from the Zhen Clan would use a certain kind of skill that has the ability to gather spiritual energy to produce the Miraculous Water Orb. Then, they pass it on to the next clan master before their death! It's the clan's ultimate secret!"
"I've also heard of such an orb! I didn't know it was inside Rupert's forehead, however! It's just a surprise how he needed to sacrifice some of his blood in order to use the Miraculous Water Orb!"
"That's not his own strength, is it? Regardless, Russell would still be in danger! After being able to use the orb in his possession, Rupert now probably has the strength of a warrior at the advanced stage of Bone Reinforcement!"
"It's time to decide who wins and who loses."
Everyone had their own set of theories about the fight.
'I see. So this is what they call the Miraculous Water Orb.' Ricky came up with that realization upon hearing the fuss among the other warriors.
'If every master from the Zhen Clan did this, this would mean that Rupert had more than one Miraculous Water Orb. I have to beat this guy in one go. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the upper hand in this battle in the long run.' Ricky continued to analyze the situation.
"Today, you shall die under the power of my Miraculous Water Orb,"
Rupert said in extreme confidence after releasing the miracles of the orb. The eagerness in his aura had diminished, only to be replaced with malicious intent.
"Die? Today? What a joke! You think you can kill me with just your weak orb?"
Ricky answered mockingly. "Let me tell you this. There is no way you'll ever defeat me. No matter what you do, the results will be the same!"
"Your arrogance irks me!"
Rupert yelled back.
The next moment, Rupert's power changed again. He began to merge the power of the Miraculous Water Orb!
The orb engulfed his whole body. He continuously released the orb's power, while merging it into his inner strength. The Miraculous Water Orb appeared smaller, as Rupert's strength gradually became stronger.
Soon, the power Rupert broken out was comparable to the strength of two warriors at the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
"Go to hell! Water miraculous power! Double-waved Palm!"
With a loud growl, Rupert leaped high. Gathering all his strength in his hands, he aimed at Ricky.
A pair of translucent gloves could be seen emerging from Rupert's hands. Without a doubt, it was his mortal weapon.
"Boom!"
Two gigantic waves of power that appeared palm-like directly charged towards Ricky, hitting him squarely.
'I hate to admit it but this Miraculous Water Orb indeed had made him more powerful!'
Ricky thought to himself, seriously feeling the effects of the previous attack.
'It's almost as if Rupert is already on the intermediate stage of the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement!'
It was Ricky's ultimate goal to defeat Rupert at that very moment. It would be either that or his death.
"Clank!"
A loud clanking sound vibrated throughout. Two distinct runes began to appear on Ricky's bluish body. One of them was crimson, while the other scarlet. Respectively, they were the devouring rune and the chaotic fire rune.
