The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1330

In the next moment, Ricky unleashed a massacring power that carried no negative or positive emotion. It gave off the killing aura alone.

And since he had just comprehended the shura power, it was still far from perfect. Perhaps, it could be considered a prototype of the real thing.

"Well done! You managed to comprehend the shura power in just seven days, which is a lot faster than I expected. Now that you can wield it, you can be a big help to me," the Shura Casket praised Ricky delightedly.

"Thank you, sir, but I think I only achieved that because I am inside you. If I were in a different place, I might not be able to succeed, not even if you gave me seven years," Ricky humbly answered, shifting his eyes downward.

He was actually telling the truth. He truly believed that the Shura Casket was the primary reason that he could comprehend the shura power in such a short time. Perhaps, it had secretly helped him comprehend because it needed his help.

It must have given his mental strength a boost, which allowed him to complete his task this fast.

With this thought in mind, Ricky would dare say that even an ordinary warrior could master the shura power, as long as he was inside the Shura Casket.

"Sir, did Steve pass the test as well? Has he comprehended the shura power too?" Ricky asked when he remembered that Steve was in the other casket.

"Yes, he did, but he was slightly faster than you. It only took him six days," the Shura Casket revealed.

"What?! How did he do that?" Ricky blurted out in utter disbelief.

The truth was that he had expected Steve to fail on account of his character and mindset.

He figured that Steve didn't have what it took to succeed. After all, such an arrogant and conceited person could never comprehend the shura power. At least, that was what went on in Ricky's mind.

The essential part about the shura power was that one should not forget what he needed to protect deep inside. Only when someone realized that could he or she succeed in comprehending the shura power.

But when someone wanted to take advantage of the shura power, he or she should forget about everything despite the killing intent.

However, it did not mean that he or she must forget the people or things he wanted to protect for good.

He only needed to put everything aside while fighting by using the shura power so as to release the power's full potential. But still, the things or people he wanted to protect remained in his heart.

As soon as he was reminded of what he needed to protect, he would immediately stop killing and come back to his senses.

That was the reason that even though the shura power was essentially all about killing, he was able to anchor it on his protective instincts.

'Was I wrong about Steve? Does he have something that he wants to defend as well?' Ricky thought to himself, feeling perplexed and astonished.

"Are you surprised that your opponent can also comprehend the shura power?" the Shura Casket asked when it noticed the confusion on Ricky's face.

"Yes," Ricky admitted. "I'm not doubting his talent, of course, but I think we don't have anything in common."

"Hmm... Tell me, child, what is your understanding of the shura power?" asked the Shura Casket. It hummed in a way that signified it knew something that Ricky didn't.

"I can kill others, but I should not get carried away with the violence and forget the things or people that I want to protect," Ricky readily answered, sounding confident in his reply.

"You are right. But your understanding of protection is a bit shallow," remarked the Shura Casket critically.

"Please enlighten me, sir!" Ricky immediately cried out, humbled and with an open mind.

"One should not defend the justice that you can recognize. After all, all creatures have someone or something they want to protect, including themselves. Some even would protect their opponents. In other words, you can defend anything,"

stated the Shura Casket.

"I understand now, sir," responded Ricky meekly.

"Your opponent made it ahead of you because his blood power is related to killing, and it gave him an advantage," the Shura Casket further added, knowing that it bothered Ricky.
