"I'm your master. This is what I should do," said Grace.

"So where's my father?" Ricky asked a little anxiously, because he had not seen his father for a whole year. It weighed on his mind, and hit him particularly hard when he was alone with these thoughts. His father was always in his heart, and would always find his way into his thoughts.

"When your father learned that you were accepted by the Snow Sect and became my disciple, he took off. He said he needed to find your mother," Grace replied.

"Find my mother?" Ricky whispered, eyes filled with a touch of sadness. He'd never met his mother, but an image of what he imagined she looked like filled his mind.

His mother left shortly after he was born, but he knew she was forced out. He knew in his heart she would always care for him.

The magical spiritual meridian that his mother left for him was the best proof.

"By the way, your father wanted me to let you know that other than Gilbert, there was another enemy called the Bloody Gang. The gang was also a part of the whole setup. And he wanted you to avenge him," Grace continued.

"Gilbert! Bloody Gang!" Ricky said coldly.

"But don't worry about it now. I need you to ready yourself for battle tomorrow. This contest is to the death, and I can't help you once you step into the ring," Grace warned him.

"Don't worry, Master. Tomorrow I'll give you a big surprise," Ricky said confidently.

There were many battle rings in the Snow Sect, but there were only a handful where contestants fought to the death. There were three, all on a flat and snowy field.

Today, almost all the outer disciples gathered around these three rings.

Also, many inner disciples and strong core disciples were there.

Today was mainly about the life and death battle between Ricky and Wade who were newcomers to Skin Refinement, but everyone knew it was actually a battle between the core disciples, as well—Connie and Grace.
