"Boom! Boom!"
The strong wave generated from the clash was quickly absorbed by Ricky's devouring power. He had secretly erupted his power of devouring rune!
The peculiar Devouring Fire began to embrace Ricky's body, layer by layer, and combined with the devouring runes.
Next, a Devouring Storm formed by the devouring power struck at the puppets from eight directions. Meanwhile, Ricky himself aimed at the water-attributed puppet which had attacked him first. In a veil of golden light, Ricky gathered his power and once again launched Scorching Golden Fist.
Ellison had meant to first test his opponent's strength, which gave Ricky the chance to destroy one puppet into pieces unexpectedly. Now that Ricky had found a chink in Ellison's armor, he planned to annihilate the puppets one by one.
But Ellison was also an experienced warrior of genius. He easily saw through Ricky's tactics.
''Don't even try that, Ricky! This time I'll show you no mercy!'' Ellison threatened.
He manipulated his puppets to gather energy from the runic lines and then sent them to collide with Ricky's devouring energy.
Ellison had already added the sealing array to his puppets ahead of time. So, when the puppets attacked Ricky, their strength was reinforced by the sealing power.
Ricky's devouring energy could only barely fend off Ellison's moves. Once Ellison used the sealing power, his devouring energy was completely overwhelmed and fell apart at the first blow.
The puppets then charged towards Ricky, striking him.
Ricky was besieged immediately. Now it would be totally impossible for him to destroy the puppets one by one. After realizing this, Ricky abandoned his first strategy and directly stood in the middle of the puppets.
'I have to admit that It's painstaking for me to fight with nine puppets simultaneously. So is this his plan? Wait until my energy has become exhausted with the puppets? They are not able to kill me but are strong enough to wear me out, ' Ricky quickly mused.
The power of puppets came from the space rather than Ellison, which made it more difficult for Ricky to fight against them.
...
''Ellison's arrays are truly marvelous. The puppets' power almost doubled after fusing with the array! I'm afraid Ricky is no match for him at all, '' many warriors exclaimed.
'Absolutely! I think even if it were Sham or Hoffman on the competition platform, they could do no better than Ricky!'
Sham and Hoffman grew solemn at hearing these declarations. What the warriors said was true. They had to admit that they also couldn't figure out how to deal with Ellison's array. They could do nothing but wait to be attacked by the puppets.
''Kristen, Ricky is in danger!'' Tyson said Kristen with his internal power.
''Yes, that's true. But all we can do now is trust him, '' Kristen replied. "Yes, trust him... just like we always have.''
''You're right. Let's just have faith that Ricky can figure this out, '' replied Tyson.
...
Meanwhile, Grace and Kinsey also stopped their fight after several clashes.
''Your little disciple seems to be in trouble, Grace. Aren't you even a little bit worried about him?'' Kinsey asked scornfully. He planned to distract Grace, and then take her down when she wasn't focused.
''I believe in him, '' Grace replied coolly. ''Why don't you first worry about yourself? Today marks your death.''
Once again, Grace erupted her power of frost. The entire competition platform seemed to be frozen over, and the temperature plummeted!
''The Holy Snow Attack! I did not expect Zenith to pass this cultivation method on to you, '' Kinsey said, his face showing surprised recognition.
