Ricky stood straight and tall in the middle of the arena, slowly turning around to take in the sight of the disciples who were paying him respect.
The world of martial arts. The world where strength was everything that mattered. The warrior who possessed this superior power was respected by all. Now, it no longer mattered whether Ricky had the spiritual meridian or not. As long as he was powerful, no one would dare to cross him.
But for the loser, no matter how strong you once were, you would become virtually erased upon defeat.
'My first major goal was to become the top outer disciple in the Snow Sect. Now that I've achieved that, I want to keep going. I will strive to rank among the inner disciples!' Ricky told himself, eyes shining with joy and excitement.
.....
"Who wants to challenge the top three in the outer disciples now?" Elder Evan asked again.
Lean challenged Agnes but was easily beat, further impressing the other disciples with regards to Agnes' power.
Then, Edgar also battled against Agnes. He won, but barely. Agnes slumped her shoulders in disappointment.
Now, the top three outer disciples were Ricky, Rufus and Edgar.
The ranks of top three outer disciples had been decided, leaving only seven spots left in the prestigious ranking. There was no doubt that Agnes held fourth place, while Lean, who once ranked second, now fell to the fifth place.
After several more battles, Weldon now ranked sixth, Geoff seventh, Ryan eighth, Desmond ninth, and Darren tenth. The slots were filled.
As the top ten outer disciples were determined, the Outer Competition finally drew to a close.
This particular Outer Competition was probably the most intense one the Snow Sect had seen in decades. Agnes was incredibly strong as a woman warrior. Edgar suddenly rose in ranking without anybody anticipating it. Ricky had channeled strong and unbelievable power. Each battle had made the spectating disciples incredibly excited.
....
"Gentlemen, the Outer Competition is now over. It makes me happy to see that many disciples have improved greatly." "I hope that from now on, you will train harder. Strive! Strive for yourself to live a better life in the world of martial arts," said Elder Evan.
"Now, let's cut to the chase. I know you've all been waiting for this. Top 100 disciples, come to the arena to receive your awards!"
Oh, oh!
The top 100 disciples began whooping. It was their time to get recognition now.
"For those who have ranked 51st to 100th, you will get five Spiritual Energy Nourishing Pills each. Well, if you don't want it, you can say when you receive it. And you can exchange it for silver coins."
"For disciples who have ranked 11th to 51st, we will reward you with a set of cultivation method of intermediate stage of Yellow Level and ten Spiritual Energy Nourishing Pills!"
"As for the 5th to 10th disciples, we'll reward you with a cultivation method of the intermediate stage of Yellow Level, a weapon of the inferior stage of Mortal Level and two Blood Purification Pills!"
"Blood Purification Pill! The prize is the Blood Purification Pill!" The many lower-ranking disciples were a little envious that a Blood Purification Pill was in the reward. After all, for the warriors who trained at Skin Refinement, the most important and precious pill for them was the Blood Purification Pill.
The pill could greatly increase the warrior's skills to reached Blood Purification!
"I wonder what the top five will be awarded."
"The prize for the fourth and the fifth ranking warriors are two sets of cultivation method of the intermediate stage of Yellow Level, a weapon of the inferior stage of Mortal Level and four Blood Purification Pills!"
"The prize for the second and third placers are: a cultivation method of the advanced stage of Yellow Level, a weapon of the intermediate stage of Mortal Level and seven Blood Purification Pills. They can also choose between Treasures from Heaven and Earth in the Treasure Tower!"
"Wow! The Treasures from Heaven and Earth! They've never even offered that reward before!" Many outer disciples and even some of the inner disciples were shocked at this news.
Treasures from Heaven and Earth! They were such rare thing. Any kind of Treasures from Heaven and Earth would be a substantial fortune for the warriors. It would help them greatly enhance their cultivation base.
