The legendary warrior

"Humph! Make it clear, then, exactly why you're here!" Ricky sneered.

"Well, now that my dear cousin has won the first place in the Outer Competition, of course I am here to congratulate him. However, I would also like to challenge his strength!" Nate said, smiling wickedly.

As soon as the words left his lips, Nate produced a sudden burst of momentum characteristic of the first grade of Blood Purification.

Since Nate owned a four-starred inferior spiritual meridian with fire nature, the momentum of his power burst naturally took on the shape of fire. Fused with the blood vitality of Blood Purification, his entire being transformed into something akin to a furnace, burning hot and sparking.

"You know this is not the place for this!" Grace said coldly, at the sight of Nate preparing for battle.

It dawned on Ricky that his cousin had come to humiliate him.

Having just won the first place in the Outer Competition, Ricky had surmounted on the first high point of his martial arts career. From hereafter, he had been given the opportunity to march forward.

Knowing Nate's strength, it would be highly possible that Ricky would be badly injured if he was hit hard.

Nate had come at the right time.

Nate had traumatized Ricky by betraying their friendship and stabbing him from behind. If he could drag Ricky down again when he just won the Outer Competition, he knew Ricky might stay down for the rest of his life whenever it came to cultivation.

For Ricky, his cousin's betrayal was worse than being killed. As the saying went, "To kill someone truly is to break his heart."

"Well, my little brother and the so-called genius of the Nan Clan, are you really going to hide behind a woman?" Ignoring Grace's words, Nate mocked Ricky and stared at him.

"Please leave!" Grace said it again, moving forward to assert herself.

But Sean stopped her.

"I'll take care of it, Master!" Ricky murmured, giving Grace a reassuring look.

Ricky very well knew that Nate's supporters included not only the second core disciples like Sean, but also those of the innate spirits. Ricky wanted Grace to stay out of this. It was his problem.
