The legendary warrior

"Boom! Boom!"

Red energy rose into the air as a huge blast broke out from Ricky. Then orange energy sprang up, swallowing the red aura. Ricky engulfed in this orange energy. Oddly, the scene looked rather glamorous.

That was the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula!

At this crucial moment, Ricky decided that he could no longer conceal this secret. He decided to show all his cards.

He wanted to win. It was imperative that he beat Lean and the Refinement Faction. Defeating Jarvis had only been the beginning; now, he was executing his plan as scheduled. Ricky inhaled deeply. No one could stop him.

"I've already reached the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula successfully... Oh, it was because of the Quincentennial Magic Ice and the Sacred Blood Crystal. Please, don't fail me now. Show me your full power!" Ricky sighed, confidently feeling his body's pulsating energy as he initiated the method.

Ricky was curiously expectant, wondering how mighty the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula truly was.

The crowd exclaimed loudly, again astonished. The unexpected progress Ricky had made seemed to be endless.

Their whispers began to echo, bouncing off each other like a swarm of bees.

"Oh, my God! Lean has reached the fifth level of the Pure Masculinity. But Ricky! Can you believe it? He's also progressed so well in his cultivation method! I'm so curious about his mysterious method. It's definitely going to be a rigid competition! Oh, it will be a marvelous sight to behold! I can't wait anymore!"

"Yes, I agree. Oh, goodness. Both of them have such immense strength! This is so exciting!"

Zenith and other four Elders on the high stage were just as shocked as the other disciples. They exchanged stunned looks, mouths slightly open. What happened with Ricky was beyond their belief.

None of them had expected that Ricky would make it to the Second Degree of the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

In their minds, Ricky could have the capacity for it. But reaching the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula now was the last thing they anticipated. As the wise elders, they knew everything. They were well aware of how difficult it was to break through it.

"Chief Zenith, this boy is stupefying. He reached the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula at such a young age! I think he must really be in possession of an extremely strong will!" Elder Evan said using his internal power. This way, he could only be heard by the elders.

"Yes. I must agree with Elder Evan. We have to admit it no matter we like it or not, Chief Zenith!" Three other elders also weighed in using their internal powers.
