Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 523

The attacks of the enlightening mimic were so fast that Ricky barely saw them coming. They struck him, sharp and electrocuting, before he could even block to defend himself. The pain was immediate, almost numbing his senses at once.

Taking heavy breaths to regain his composure, Ricky raised his fists in a fighting stance. The immense urge to strike back rose in his chest like white hot fire, but the rapid and continuous fire of the attacks was relentless and overwhelming, rendering him unable to stand his ground and fight back. He gritted his teeth as adrenaline rushed into his body.

Boom!

With the sound of the explosion, a massive force hit his chest and sent him flying into the air as if he had been struck by a cannon. To break the impact, he summoned fire around his hands and held on the space around him so he could regain his balance.

'It is too fast. It seems like it did not just double its strength but also its speed, ' Ricky realized, still reeling from the immediate effects of the blow.

Zap! Before he could even finish his train of thoughts, the space in front of him split open, revealing the enlightening mimic. In a flash, it morphed into the Flame Torrent and swept toward Ricky in full force.

'This Tower of Training is indeed daunting and extraordinary. I can't believe it can replicate even my Omnipotent Skill—the Flame Torrent!' Ricky thought to himself as a wide excited grin took over his face.

As the battle ensued, it did not take long before Ricky noticed a certain limit to the enlightening mimic's power. The replication of the Flame Torrent could only mimic Ricky's power, but it could not add different kinds of sacred fires like Ricky did.

Ricky's eyes flashed with the light of fire just as the will to fight blazed hotly in his chest. Without any hesitation, he used his Omnipotent Skill of the Flame Torrent and engaged the enlightening mimic head-on. The enemy was definitely strong, but Ricky refused to give up. This training was important for him as this was his ultimate chance in finding the flaw in his moves and improve himself. No matter what, he would never back down.

Boom! The two Flame Torrents clashed, and the entire room was suddenly engulfed by the endless fire. It seemed like an eternity had passed before the inferno died down and the two figures jumped out of the burning fire.

As the smoke cleared, the differences in their level became more evident. While Ricky shot out of the fire in a rather awkward and ungraceful position, the enlightening mimic remained unfazed and handled its balance well.

Ricky wiped the sweat on his face and grinned. "Awesome! This is exactly what I need! Only a strong opponent like this can help me with my progress!" Although Ricky knew he was currently on the losing fence, his will to fight had never been stronger.

"Smashing Blade Attack—Space Breaking!" With undivided focus, Ricky channeled all his power into the Iron Destroyer. Blinding streaks of gold light filled the entire room as the blade went straight toward his opponent.

As the blade made contact, Ricky quickly used this chance to try out all his moves on the enlightening mimic. With every exchanges and clashes, Ricky began to gain a clearer picture of his strengths and weaknesses and filed them in his memory so he could form an appropriate plan to improve himself.

On the second floor of the Tower of Training, the fight against the enlightening mimic continued for a long time.

Soon, he managed to overcome his defeats and bring the battle to a draw. As more time passed, he grew even more powerful to the point that he could finally take on two or three enlightening mimics at the same time. By the time the tenth day arrived, Ricky could defeat four enlightening mimics.

Ricky could feel in his gut that both his strength and speed improved significantly and exponentially. He couldn't help but feel even more confident about his upcoming battle with Ray.

"Ray, we still have many days left before our much-awaited fight, but I can't wait to stomp on your body when I defeat you!" Ricky said ferociously as the image of Ray crossed his mind and fired up his strong desire to fight.

However, Ricky knew that Ray would not just stand idly by while he improved his strength. Ray, too, must be busy in strengthening himself. He had the support of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce, so Ricky would not be surprised if he had become a middle spiritual king.

With this in mind, Ricky knew that he still had a lot of training to do. He needed to raise his power level even more so that he would have a better chance at defeating Ray. Although this battle was not a matter of life and death, Ricky refused to entertain even the slightest bit of possibility that he could lose.

He would never give the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce a chance to look down on him—not even for a second. Just the thought of it was making his blood boil in disdain and disgust.

"Luxurious Chamber of Commerce, I have defeated Pearl. I assure you that I can and will also defeat Ray," Ricky murmured, venom in his voice.
