The legendary warrior

"It is said that the holy son and the holy daughter are the backbones of any Sage Level force. In fact, they are the most valued disciples. In short, they are the heirs to this Sage Level force, if you get my drift," Ashley explained.

At that moment, there was a distinct trace of haughtiness in her voice. Perhaps, this was because she had been the holy daughter of the wood branch from the very start.

Of course, Lloyd's trust helped her a lot. But her success would still mainly rely on her efforts. If Ashley was not powerful enough, then she would have already be deprived of the position of the holy daughter.

"So a holy son and a holy daughter represent the Sage Level force, to some degree," she added.

"Got it. Then, a holy son and a holy daughter have many rights and privileges to enjoy. Am I right?" Ricky clarified.

"Yes. Also keep in mind that the holy son and the holy daughter will know everything except for the core matters. They are qualified to obtain any cultivation method and any cultivation resource," expounded Ashley.

"Oh, I can't wait to be one of them," Ricky said gently.

"As far as I know, my master probably wants you to be the holy son. But on the contrary, I don't think you can be one," Ashley scorned a little after looking at Ricky's optimistic expression.

Curious, Ricky could not help but ask. "Is that so? How come?"

"According to the rules of the wood branch, all spiritual emperors under one hundred years old are eligible to participate in the holy son selection. However, I found out that three of the candidates are much more powerful than me. They might be close to being a hundred years old, but they are still qualified to participate in the contest,"

replied Ashley.

"I see. I think those three have the strength to stop me." Ricky gave a beaming smile.

"Well, of course they have! I know that my master wants to directly announce your appointment as the holy son of the wood branch. But he will still have to let you take that position fairly by displaying your strength. It's a happy thing for me, actually," Ashley said grimly.

Moreover, she believed that if Ricky failed to become the holy son, then he would be too ashamed to take the Five-element Flag by himself or even find the gall to stay in the wood branch. Then, he would probably return the flag and leave the wood branch.

"Haha, I see where you're coming from. But do you really think that those three people you mentioned would be powerful enough to resist me?" Ricky smirked.
