The legendary warrior

"What's the matter with you?

You were beaten by a guy at Skin Refinement!" On the Snow Vulture's back, Sean asked coldly, as he wished to slap Nate to death.

"I apologize, my senior." Both his eyes were on the ground, and his eyebrows touched for Nate felt immensely terrible about himself. There was nothing, no explanation he could do to change what Sean thought of him.

"Well, it actually doesn't matter that you lost. A man without a complete spiritual meridian will not be compared to you in any way!" Sean did not want to have the conversation any longer, so he waved his hand and said, "But his runic power is really weird!" Sean said, squinting his eyes in both disgust and amazement. Sean had witnessed what Ricky's punch was capable of. And to his astonishment, Ricky was far more powerful than he had ever witnessed in the Outer Competition.

…

Sean and Nate had no words to describe how terrible the match went so they turned their backs on the courtyard and left. On the other hand, Ricky let them go with no intention for a conversation and breathed rapidly.

As much as Ricky won the match, Nate wore him down. Nate was a Blood Purification warrior whose strength did a solid damage to Ricky, who hadn't fully recovered from the Outer Competition. His punches made Ricky catch his breath.

Ricky was tired from the battle. His muscles were sore and his eyes could no longer stay open. He opted for a rest and went home after the match. He plopped in his bed and recuperated for a day until he was ready to go out. The next morning, he asked Heather to go with him and collect the prize from the Outer Competition that he had won.

Ricky's muscles still felt worn out and he needed more than just rest to continue regaining the peak of his strength. Heather and Ricky decided to go to the Medicine Pavilion first to get some pills they had won. Heather received ten Spiritual Energy Nourishing Pills, while Ricky got ten Blood Purification Pills. He wanted to do better than how he performed during the last battle and he did whatever it took him to get to the peak of his power again. Ricky realized that he didn't need that much Blood Purification Pills. And like a gentleman that he was, he generously gave not one, but five of his Blood Purification Pills to Heather.

Even without a Blood Purification Pill, Ricky had the confidence to break through and reach the Blood Purification state quickly.

Any other warrior of course, would not refuse any blessing given to them. Heather accepted the pills gladly with a smile in her face.

But the trip was not over yet. After Ricky handed out the pills, the two went to the Weapons Hall. On the third floor, good weapons were displayed to marvel at. Price tags showed the value of the weapons ranging from cheap to the rare and expensive ones. Ricky and Heather looked around, and tried out several weapons. But there was one that caught Ricky's eyes-- a beautiful long saber.

This saber was quite expensive, but Ricky thought that he earned it fair and square. After all, he won the competition and this was his prize to claim. This long saber was of the intermediate stage of the Mortal Level. It had a name: Iron Destroyer.

"If I were to buy such this saber myself, it would cost at least thirty thousand silver coins." He sighed, but the frown on his face was replaced by an excited look as he remembered that this was part of his prize for winning the Outer Competition. 'I think I truly deserve this one, ' he thought to himself.

Ricky took the long saber and headed for the counter. Heather picked her weapon of choice too. They carried their weapons behind their backs, and went to the Cultivation Method Hall.
