The legendary warrior

Ricky walked forward without stopping for half of a day. The sky was clear and the sun was beating down on him, affecting his mood. He frowned and muttered profanities as he trudged along.

Eventually, he reached a river that was very wide and deep. Above its churning water was a bridge made up of a single plank. Only one person could pass over it at a time. Ricky spotted an old man on the bridge.

He was very thin and frail-looking, dressed in shabby, filthy clothing.

If people looked at him, they would be filled with annoyance. For no reason at all, all people wanted to kill him the moment they laid their eyes on him.

Currently, the old man was lying on the single plank bridge.

'Why is this old man irking me so much?' Ricky thought to himself.

At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to sneak up on the old man and beat him up.

But he shook his head and said politely, "Excuse me, sir. I would like to cross this bridge. Will you please move out of the way? I can't get past you."

"Fuck off! Can't you see that I'm basking in the sun?" the old man snapped.

Then, he jumped to his feet and stormed towards Ricky. Peeling off his dirty, ripped shoes, he smashed them against Ricky's face. Then, he started punching and kicking Ricky without any sign of stopping.

Ricky was already filled with anger because of the two annoying incidents he encountered moments ago. Now that an old man was beating him up for no reason, killing intent rose in him.

"Fuck off!" Ricky roared, pushing the old man away.

But the old man didn't give up. He cursed louder and punched and kicked Ricky harder.

Feeling rage flare up in him, Ricky gritted his teeth. The thought of him killing the robbers passed through his mind and he smiled. Retracting his fist, he punched the old man and the latter died on the spot.

Immediately, everything returned to its original condition. Ricky woke up from his cultivation and opened his eyes.

'Were the old lady, the people in the house, and the old man the three character tests? Ricky wondered.
