The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1227

"Ricky is not the right person to be the holy son of the wood branch. I guess he is the only one who dared to challenge the genius of the Desolate Sorcery tribe who is stronger than him, and they ended up in a draw," Lloyd added after some consideration.

After they drew for countless times,

the fight between Ricky and Mordechai had come to an end.

Mordechai won, and he became the holy son of the wood branch.

However, the crowd kept talking about Ricky and wondered why he conceded.

Once the fight was over, Ricky promptly announced that his so-called engagement to Ashley was nothing but a joke. He also said that he was not good enough for her because he failed to become the holy son.

His act left all the disciples bewildered.

"What is on this brat's mind?" Lloyd murmured to himself,

every bit as confused as the others.

"Ashley, you don't need to worry about us anymore. I will be out of your hair now. I've explained to everyone about us, and I didn't become the holy son. You've got what you want," Ricky said to Ashley, using the telepathic link.

With those words, he left with Tina and Amelia.

Ashley watched Ricky's receding figure. She wasn't happy at all. In fact, she was disappointed. She felt a pang in her heart watching him leave with the two women.

Ricky admitting defeat upset her. She went to great lengths to stop him from becoming the holy son, and it turned out that he didn't care about that position at all. She thought that Ricky must laugh at her inwardly.

She felt disappointed because Ricky had even felt the need to explain their fake engagement to the public. It made her feel that she wasn't good enough for him, and she wasn't attractive enough for Ricky to really fall for.

"Mordechai, why would he admit defeat?" Ashley asked Mordechai.

"Well, that is between me and Ricky. We have promised to keep it to ourselves, so I can't tell you about that," Mordechai replied with a troubled look on his face.

"I see." Hearing this, Ashley decided not to push him any further and drop the topic completely.

Soon, the selection of the holy son had ended completely. It seemed that everything had fallen into place.

Ricky returned to his room.

After healing himself for a couple days, he was summoned by Lloyd.

"Be honest with me. Why did you surrender? Didn't you know that the holy son will be permitted to enter the ancestral land of the wood branch and absorb the original wood energy there?" Lloyd was direct and straight to the point.

"Well, that's because I want to get my hands on something that's even better than that. Moreover, Mordechai is strong. He will make a good holy son," Ricky replied, smiling.

"What is it that you want?" Lloyd asked, curious.

Ricky filled him in on the deal he had made with Mordechai.

"I can't believe that you know about the Desolate Sorcery tribe!" Lloyd exclaimed. He was in shock at what Ricky had just told him.

"The Ultimate Golden Body I have cultivated originated from the Desolate Sorcery tribe, so I know this tribe," Ricky explained, smiling.

"It all makes sense now!" Lloyd said, nodding his head.

"Well, let's get down to business. It's okay that you didn't become the holy son of the wood branch. However, there is another position that we hope you would accept," Lloyd continued, his tone suddenly serious.

"What is it?" Ricky asked curiously.

"You need to become the holy son of the Five-element Sect!" Lloyd replied solemnly.

Ricky was dumbfounded. He was silent for a few seconds, processing Lloyd's request.
