The legendary warrior novel Chapter 89

Suddenly! A peculiar sound!

With the infusion of the two supreme energies into his body, Ricky heard sound of crunches and creaks coming from throughout the inside of his body. This meant that his mortal being was undergoing significant changes.

The originally orange rays were growing yellow. Layers of black, thick liquid oozed out of his skin, giving off a foul stench.

In spite of the pungent odor, he focused all his attention on the strenuous practice. To tolerate the sharp pain, he clenched his fists so tightly that his fingernails began to dig into the flesh of his palms.

He was gritting his teeth, and blood seeped out from the corners of his lips.

For now, the only thing he could to do to fight against the pain was mustering all his willpower and energy.

Fortunately, the moment didn't last long. He didn't know whether he could make it to the end, even with his strong willpower.

A loud rumble reverberated in his ears. With a strong momentum erupting, he saw that all the orange rays had turned yellow. He felt his entire being leap up to a higher level. Anyone could determine his explosive energy with only a glance at his impressive muscles.

Ricky realized that he had achieved the Third Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula successfully.

At the Third Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, he could be unrivaled in the inferior stage of Blood Purification. It would be no easy task for a warrior even at the third grade of Blood Purification to beat Ricky without shedding some blood.

"Hooh!"

With a deep exhalation of air, Ricky cracked his eyes open, grimacing as though the severe pain inflicted on every inch of his skin hadn't faded one bit.

Gritting his teeth, he took off his robe and entered the wooden barrel he had prepared beforehand to cleanse himself of the impurities eliminated by his body.

But now, his entire body was so tender and sensitive that he had to clean himself extremely gingerly. He spent a good three hours bathing. The pain took a half day after the bath to fully recede.

Once Ricky felt like he had recovered sufficiently, he took another Water Miraculous Pill and prepared to resume the cultivation.

For him, right now, every single minute and second was extremely precious.

As he began, he found there was a remainder of the energy of Ice Ganoderma Lucidum and Sacred Essence Pill in his body.

He was quite excited about this discovery, telling himself, 'They deserve the reputation of Treasures from Heaven and Earth and high-grade pill. It is so remarkable that there still remained a third of energy in my body after I broke through the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.'

To make the best of the remaining energy in his body, Ricky decided to exert Devouring Skill to cultivate himself.

Within a single day, Ricky had reached peak of the first grade of Blood Purification. Thanks to the magical efficacy of Water Miraculous Pill, it took only another hour for him to reach the second grade of the Blood Purification.

After reaching the second grade of Blood Purification, however, Ricky didn't stop. Instead, he swallowed yet another Water Miraculous Pill and a Water Vitality Fruit as well.

Then he started to refine the Water Vitality Fruit.

It took him another day to ascend to the peak of the second grade of Blood Purification. Riding on the wave of that momentum, he continued to make a breakthrough and achieved the third grade of Blood Purification.

By now, Ricky had evolved into a mighty warrior of the third grade of Blood Purification.

''The journey to the Shui Clan has proven to be fruitful. In the span of ten days, I achieved two grades in one go, ' he thought elatedly, feeling a far stronger power within him.

'To top it all off, I have also entered the Third Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. What an achievement!'

But Ricky was also well aware that he would need much practice before he could have stable and adept performance in applying his newly gained skills and energy.

All of this progress was contributed to two things. First, it took him only a short span of time to reach the high grade, and second, the fast pace of his elevation was largely due to the Treasures from Heaven and Earth and the pills, rather than his long-term strenuous cultivation.

It seemed that he had no choice but to rapidly cultivate himself.
