The legendary warrior

Why didn't Ricky just drop his saber at that critical moment the same way Thomas gave up his sword? He always wanted to become a real saber wielder as well as a warrior who had his own insights about his saber. He also wanted to develop his own unique and powerful saber skills.

If those goals were to be truly realized, there was no way he could give up his saber, which meant he had to hold on to it even in the direst situations. His unique link to his personal weapon would be severed otherwise. If he lost his attachment to his saber, his future training and insights about his saber would suffer greatly and he might never reach certain top-level skills.

Moreover, he just didn't believe that the so-called Dual Shadow Punches launched by Tomas could really hurt him in that moment.

The next moment, as Ricky exercised his Devouring Skill to its most extreme point, his body had turned into a body of devouring energy. At the same time, he activated the power of the Sixth Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula to its full strength as well. Soon, blue light and bloody light were intertwined around him as the energy swelled around him.

Boom! An earsplitting sound rang out at the same time. Ricky was inundated by Thomas's countless dark Dual Shadow Punches as they produced a deafening and destructive blast.

Thomas looked at Ricky with mixed feelings of disdain and a little bit of admiration as he hurriedly retreated to avoid the blast.

"Unexpectedly, you still haven't given up your saber, even now. So, you are the kind of man who holds a strong belief—regarding your saber as a valuable object in your life," Thomas said disdainfully.

Of course, Thomas's admiration was hidden because he pushed it to the bottom of his heart. He thought to himself, 'People like him, who have such a steadfast belief, are really annoying opponents. If they live through the fight, their insights about their weapons will be deepened. They will also make greater progress with their power, and become even more difficult to beat over time.'

Yet, despite his admiration, he didn't feel threatened anymore, and instead felt quite relieved. He had become completely sure that Ricky couldn't survive his countless dark Dual Shadow Punches.

The punches might not be his most powerful skill. However, if any warrior wanted to resist them without any precautions, it would be impossible, unless that person was a warrior at the top grade of Bone Reinforcement.

Thomas had such a firm belief that Ricky should be dead. He was only at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement after all, so he could not survive such an attack with just his body and no other defense.

However, before Thomas could finish that thought, a cold voice rang out abruptly, saying, "Even an assassin is not supposed to abandon his sword, and if he does, he will no longer be qualified to use his sword again."
