The legendary warrior

"Thanks a lot, Hayes!"

Ricky said gratefully.

He noticed that Hayes and Guillermo had completely different attitudes when facing failure, and he very much preferred Hayes' approach. He believed that with Hayes' personality, he would surely achieve great heights in the future.

"Ricky, if you want, you can tell him about the Justice Skill of the Holy Three-Saber and your comprehension of the Justice Skill.

It might help him to break through to the Sage Level," the Dragon Intent Grass suggested.

"Hayes is an honest and straightforward person. If he can reach the Sage Level soon, he will surely be a great help when the time comes. He can help us fight the devils who will undoubtedly try to invade," it added further.

"Okay, I will."

Ricky nodded and then said to Hayes, "We can discuss our martial arts experience some more later. I think that will be helpful to both of us."

"That would be wonderful!"

Hayes grinned brightly and nodded eagerly to Ricky's suggestion.

Meanwhile, most of the warriors who watched their fight were in a state of shock. "Ricky just defeated Hayes!" some of them cried out. Some others commented, "He actually has six kinds of mutants. That is unbelievable!"

It was entirely conceivable that for a long time to come, they would all have to immerse themselves in the power of Ricky's six kinds of mutants.

'Those six mutants are really troublesome!' thought Mordechai sullenly as he watched Ricky. 'Fortunately, Ricky has not yet reached a higher realm, or there would have been no need to continue the battle since he would definitely win in that case.'

It was at this moment that Ashley sent a message to Mordechai through telepathy.

"It's your turn to repay me, Mordechai."

"What can I do for you? Just tell me, and I will try my best!" Mordechai immediately simpered as soon as he heard Ashley's words.

The truth was that he had his own assumption. Even though he focused on cultivation, it didn't mean that he knew nothing about everything else.

Ashley was probably going to ask him to defeat Ricky in her stead.

Just as he expected, she soon said, "Please help me defeat Ricky!"

"Don't worry. I need to defeat Ricky anyway regardless of the reason, for I am eager to be the holy son. You know that,"

Mordechai answered confidently.
