Without thinking twice, Ricky immediately activated his six zones to refine and absorb the pure fighting energy. Surely, he could take his time doing this job because he managed to kill this beast in a short time, which left him enough time to do the afterward work. Not all the warriors could defeat the beast with a single blow.
Ricky estimated that the first test would take at least three days. Now, he thought that this would give him enough time to refine and absorb his freshly-obtained pure fighting energy.
His six zones helped him a lot and made him finish this work more quickly.
Ricky's fighting abilities were constantly being improved with the help of his zones. Meanwhile, the power of his zones also increased accordingly. It was said that the improvement of fighting abilities heavily relied on one's cultivation base and realm. With that being said, it was essential for a warrior to enhance their cultivation bases and realms.
In other words, one could compare cultivation base to a filled balloon. If a warrior only focused his resources on improving his strength and ignored to enhance his cultivation base, just like a balloon filled to the tip, the latter would explode. The warrior's body would explode due to excess energy that his body could no longer hold.
Meanwhile, Ricky was trying his best to absorb the fallen powerful warriors' martial arts experience inside the pure fighting energy. The said martial arts experience inside the pure fighting energy in the arena was left by the warriors at the Sage Level and Potentate Level.
Ricky believed that he would have a better understanding of martial arts and it would be easier for him to make progress and enhance his strength as long as he could learn a thing or two from the said martial arts experience.
Apart from that, Ricky had also spent time understanding the king's inheritance to cultivate the illusion power.
At that moment, his six zones and the Shadowy Replication helped him so that he could multitask and be more efficient.
Meanwhile, the fight on the first arena was a complete tragedy because after three days of fighting, half of the warriors had been eliminated, for they did not have the capacity to defeat the beasts.
This competition was held to select Paul's successor. But his will had changed the rules. Now, once a warrior admitted defeat, he would be teleported out of the arena and out of the competition according to the new rules.
If the rule remained the same, then those warriors who had been defeated would instantly turn to ashes.
'Damn! The competition is so fierce! Half of the competitors have already been knocked out. I wonder how many would pass the first test and face the second,' Ricky could not help but think to himself.
Those who would move on to the second test also shared the same sentiments as him.
In fact, the relatively weak ones among them prayed fervently that they could pass the second test so that they could acquire more fighting energy.
However, luck was not on their side this time. As it turned out, each of the beasts that they were about to slay had the strength of a middle spiritual emperor.
Not long after, Ricky and the other warriors entered the second arena, ready to take the second test. After fifteen minutes, most of them had gotten knocked out of the competition in this round.
But Ricky didn't care about those who got eliminated. At that moment, only one thing ran through his mind, and it was to strike down the beast as soon as possible so that he could have more time to refine the pure fighting energy.
As a matter of fact, it was definitely a little rash for him to keep refining the energy in a short period of time so intensively. Despite Ricky having six zones, this quick refinement could result in weakening himself or other side effects that could have adverse impacts on his future cultivation.
He was aware of the ramifications, but he had no other choice but to do it.
If he really wanted to acquire Paul's inheritance, he would have to face the top ten geniuses of the outer region, sooner or later. He had to grow stronger quickly because, at this point, it was impossible for him to defeat the top ten geniuses given his current strength.
As for the problems that he would face about his future cultivation, he thought that it would be best if he tried to solve them after he got Paul's inheritance.
Meanwhile, the fight in the second test had lasted for five days.
