The legendary warrior novel Chapter 62

Weldon stopped in his tracks after hearing the voice. He reluctantly said to Agnes, "Fine. You've won."

Weldon lost face completely today. He had gone back on his word and attacked Agnes before she could finish her second move. But even so, Agnes had easily defeated him.

Now, in the outer disciples' eyes, Weldon, who used to rank third, had become far too weak.

But they were even more surprised at the revelation that Agnes was so powerful.

Ricky had his own thoughts about the sudden strength of Agnes. He speculated that Agnes's success could be attributed to having made great progress with the help of the Sacred Blood Crystal.

...

"You did well," Agnes said lightly, and walked off the arena.

Meanwhile, Ricky was focusing on Rufus, the first ranking outer disciples, who had just stopped Weldon.

Rufus and Weldon were members of the Casting Faction, and so both were destined to be Ricky's foes.

Rufus was dressed in tight gray clothes. He looked very handsome, seeming to be a little younger than Ricky. His black eyes gleamed with confidence and a hint of arrogance.

"He is strong enough to challenge warriors at the first grade of Blood Purification," Ricky concluded, once he had observed Rufus carefully for a few moments.

Rufus seemed to sense Ricky's gaze. He turned his head to look back at the young warrior observing him from the sidelines.

But it was only a glance, and then he looked away.

With Elder Evan's announcement of Agnes's victory, the disciples snapped back into reality from their stunned reverie.

The reality was that Agnes currently ranked third in the outer disciples, while Weldon temporarily held the sixth place in the outer disciples.

"Next, who would like to challenge the top three?" Elder Evan asked.

"Me!" Ricky said, stepping forward.

"Alright then! Which rank would you like to challenge?" Elder Evan seemed to look forward to Ricky's choice. He leaned forward in his seat.

"I would like to try the second place of the outer disciples." Ricky smiled.

"Second place! Come forth!" Lean stepped forward, glaring at Ricky coldly.

If something was meant to be, it would happen. Although Lean didn't want to battle Ricky right then and there, it didn't mean he was afraid of Ricky.

...

The two warriors walked to the center of the arena, warming up the crowd again.

"Their battle will be the ultimate competition between body refining!"

"For sure! Lean's body refining is invincible among the outer disciples, while Ricky's secret body refining cultivation method is also remarkable. This is so exciting! This battle will determine who becomes the top one!"

Feeling the fierce atmosphere between Ricky and Lean, many disciples began to chatter excitedly about their battle.

On the dais, Zenith and four other Elders were also intently watching. They just wanted to find out the limits of Ricky's Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

"After this battle, I will become the top one of body refining among the outer disciples," Ricky said arrogantly to Lean. Both warriors were warming up, eyes fixated on each other.

"What a joke! How arrogant you are, you fool!" Lean retorted coldly. "Do you really think you are invincible, just because you cultivated some ridiculous body refining method?

Today, I will let you know what the true meaning of body refining is. Oh, yes. Let's see who will really emerge as the top one of body refining among the outer disciples!"

Lean's power began to surge as he was talking.

Transparent spiritual energy morphed into shapes of dragons and tigers, surrounding Lean's body. He seemed to transform into something like an elaborate sculpture with energy undulating around his figure. From a cool transparent mist, his energy changed into a blinding light as bright as the sun.
