Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 60

But upon hearing those words, Ricky broke into disdainful smile.

'Oh, what a shame. They really are so ridiculous and unreasonable!' Ricky thought, annoyed.

"Ricky, you must explain it to us!" Elder Evan said to him.

Ricky responded respectfully, "I didn't punch Jarvis with all my energy just now. In fact, I showed mercy to him because he is also one of the disciples of the Snow Sect. Otherwise, he would not have only been injured with his bones broken. I made sure not to hit him with full strength. I knew it would be fatal for him if I did.

Besides, it's inevitable to sustain injuries during battles. If we weren't allowed to hurt others in the competition, how would anyone be able to show their strength and skills to prove their improvement of cultivation!?"

"Ricky, what you say is a baseless argument! You are challenging the authority of the Snow Sect!" Harald said maliciously, trying to shift the blame on Ricky.

"You, of all people, have no right to judge whether my argument make sense!" Ricky sneered.

Elder Evan shot a look at Zenith.

"All right now, stop it. Do not argue about this matter anymore!" Dignified, Zenith gazed around the square, adding flatly, "Today's competition is over. The competition for the top ten disciples will be held tomorrow."

No any disciples dared question this. Once Zenith had spoken, it was finished.

And with that, the day's competition for entering into top fifty disciples was completed. Again, Ricky became the main topic of conversations all over again. Most of the other disciples speculated about whether Ricky was more powerful than the top ranking outer disciple, Rufus.

When Ricky exited the ring, many warriors, especially those of Bone Reinforcement, from the Refinement Faction and the Casting Faction lunged at him, threatening him with cruel, malicious remarks.

Ricky ignored them. He knew it wouldn't be worth it to respond. Instead, he returned with Grace and Heather to their courtyard. He had to concentrate on regulating his breathing, getting ready for the most important battle. Tomorrow. Finally, it would be the day.

That day, Heather had also achieved her goal. She, along with Ricky, ranked among the top fifty outer disciples.

The battle to accumulate more points continued the next day.

The fifty disciples who won in the competition yesterday would now participate in ten more rounds of battle. And after the contest was over, those who ranked the highest would comprise the ranks of the new top ten outer disciples.

After the competition had been conducted for the whole morning, the ten rounds of battle were finally over.

During this intense competition, Ricky ran into two disciples who had been among top ten outer disciples in the previous years.

One of them was Desmond He, who had cultivated spear skills and successfully mastered the spear-light. To his dismay, however, he struggled against with Ricky's seemingly boundless strength. Ricky acted sportsmanlike towards this opponent, treating him with mercy. Desmond wasn't part of the Refinement Faction and Casting Faction, and all in all, he seemed to be an agreeable, kind warrior.

The second significant opponent was Ryan Yang, who ranked seventh among the outer disciples. He was part of the Refinement Faction's and the day before had made rather offensive remarks to Ricky, threatening to destroy him once on the ring. Ricky did not forget this, and made up his mind to break one of his arms.

But to Ricky's dismay, Ryan gave in and stopped fighting after only a brief period of time. It was a strategy of him, because he knew he couldn't defeat Ricky. Because of this, Ricky didn't get a chance to execute his plan.

At the end of the competition, the warriors who won the ten rounds of battle included

Rufus, ranking first among the outer disciples before, Lean ranking second, Weldon ranking third, Agnes ranking sixth, Geoff Li ranking eighth, Edgar, and Ricky.

Aside from this, Ryan Yang, Desmond He and Darren Wang who was at the peak of the ninth grade of Skin Refinement won nine rounds.

And so these warriors comprised the new ranks of the top ten outer disciples.

Since Ricky had broken Jarvis's arms the day before, Jarvis had to withdraw from the competition. Even if Ricky hadn't unleashed his full strength, Jarvis was still severely injured and had to recover in bed for a few weeks.

Dustin and Jim who had once respectively ranked fifth and ninth among the outer disciples had been slain.

Now, it was time for the ten top disciples to take part in the challenge competition.

"Now the challenge competition begins," Elder Evan said, standing tall in front of all of the disciples. "Outer disciples at the ninth grade of Skin Refinement who want to challenge the new top ten disciples can come into the ring and challenge them. But each of you only have two chances!"
