Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 64 The Battle With Edgar

The atmosphere of the competition reached a climatic point as the battle between Ricky and Leancame to an end. All of the disciples fixed their eyes on Ricky in anticipation, wondering if he wouldproceed to the final battle.

"Next, who else wants to challenge the top three outer disciples?" Elder Evan focused his eyes onRicky expectantly as well and asked again.

"Me!"

A booming voice filled the room while Edgar walked out of the crowd.

"Edgar...Edgar! It's him!"

"Looks like he wants to take up the top three outer disciples’ challenge! Is he really that capable?”The warriors exclaimed as they watched Edgar walk out of the crowd.

"Yes! Which position do you want to challenge?" Seeing that it was Edgar, Elder Evan noddedimperceptibly and asked him.

Edgar's performance in the previous battles was exceptional. Every fight was worth watching asEdgar gave it his all. It was no wonder that he had caught the attention of Zenith and the Elders..."Elder Evan, I'm not exactly very capable, but I would like to try... I choose to battle Ricky! " Edgar'swords echoed throughout the battlefield while he stared at Ricky with a killing intent.

"Edgar has the guts, really! You know what they say: no guts, no glory! I thought he would challengeAgnes at first. I didn't expect that he would choose Ricky instead!" Hearing Edgar's declaration andpersistence, many disciples resumed their animated discussions as they expected another greatbattle from Edgar.

"No matter the outcome, it's going to be yet another fierce battle! Whoa, I never thought that thisyear's Outer Competition would be this fascinating! *

'Edgar does not belong to any faction. Looks like he doesn't have any other affiliated intentionsother than just having a simple fight with me.’ Ricky mumbled to himself as he saw Edgar's gazetowards him. His eyes locked in to his opponent as if he was sizing him up from head to toe.Ricky's intention to fight had remarkably risen as well. He had to admit that he was getting excitedout of this whole ordeal. He also wanted to know the exact limit of this "Edgar" warrior whoemerged out of nowhere had the gall to fight a senior like him.

"Ricky, I will give you two hours to prepare yourself before taking up Edgar's challenge!” Elder Evancouldn't help but be extremely pleased with how the events were turning. He quickly acknowledgedEdgar's request. Two dark horses of this year's Outer Competition would battle out against eachother? This was definitely one for the books. He was just as enthusiastic as everyone else as heawaited for this competition to happen. These warriors were just full of surprises.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Elder Evan, but I don't really need it.” Ricky said confidentlyas he took a step forward as if he already knew that he would win the battle.

"Ricky doesn't even need time to rest! Looks like he'd completely looked down upon Lean!"

"That's right. After such an intense battle with Lean, he doesn't even need to rest before taking upEdgar's challenge. Isn't it obvious to say that he's not at least hurt by Lean?

“Ricky... You've gone overboard!" Having overheard their discussion, Lean, who was standing justbeside, screamed in his heart, his face twisted, surprised at how Ricky could still fight another battlewithout resting.

"Oh? Looks like you're very confident! In that case, let the battle commence! * Hearing that Rickyrefused to rest, Elder Evan was somewhat surprised.

On the battlefield, Ricky and Edgar were already standing opposite each other. The momentum wasaccumulating and virtually on the verge of explosion as the two warriors held out their weapons andgot ready for the action.

"Ricky, I hope you don't mind me challenging you today. I think you are really a very powerful man.That's why defeating you would be a great milestone,” Edgar spoke calmly while he nodded andacknowledged his opponent's strength.

"Ha-ha, a powerful man? Edgar, you are really flattering me!" Hearing Edgar, Ricky shook his headslightly in disbelief that his opponent really had the guts to combat a senior, let alone Ricky, anoutstanding warrior. He didn't dare endorse such a comment. He didn't need to hear that. After all,there were a good number of people who were much more powerful than him over there.

"I don't care what you think about that, but in my opinion, I think the final victory is achieved when Idefeat you in this year's competition!" Edgar exclaimed, his momentum had erupted at that precisemoment.

The first outer disciple, Rufus, was already bearing grudges against Edgar as he said that. A slashingmurderous intent shot through his gloomy eyes.

Swish!

At the instant when his spiritual energy started to surge, the silver spear behind Edgar spiraled andencircled his hands. The spear rang with a frightening coldness while it pierced the air and shottowards Ricky's face.

"Ricky, take this! Three-starred Vibrating Icy rays!"

Crack! Clang!

Under Edgar's deafening shout, the spiritual energy that surrounded him raged in a frenzy,transformed into an endless stream of frosty power and shrouded his arms along with the whole ofhis silver spear.

The head of his silver spear started to vibrate and shot out three glaring and piercing icy rays. Oneby one, the icy rays shot out and aimed for Ricky.

Three icy rays overwhelmed Ricky and sent chills down his spine. The icy rays were like ice crystalsthat were born in the world of ice.

"This is Light Apperception! I can't believe that Edgar mastered it!" Sensing the immense power ofEdgar's silver spear, many disciples exclaimed, "What's more is that Edgar's Light Apperceptionexceeded the first grade as well.”

"He's actually beginning the battle with the Light Apperception. It's true that Edgar doesn't want toleave a single chance for Ricky!"

Ricky would never want to be defeated. Apart from his vicious skill in the martial arts, he had theagility of a bird and he was quick enough to notice the spears that were aimed at him. He dodgedthe spears which left him a bit puzzled.

But this never stopped Ricky from doing better. He slapped his face to bring him back toconsciousness. “Snap out of it!" Ricky thought to himself as he cultivated his own icy powers inresponse to his opponent's attack. His pupils dilated in shock; his arms stretched to his back andtook out the long saber behind him.

The infernal flames roared behind Ricky as he swung his long saber and charged towards hisopponent. He ran with such speed and force as he grasped his saber tightly with all his might."Nonuple Flame Strike-- the Fifth Strike!"

Kaboom!

Their weapons immediately collided--the infernal fire met with the frozen ice. Chaos was about tobegin as they channeled their utmost strength to attack their opponents.

A force field of power sent the two warriors back a few steps. Both of them got up, rushed towardtheir weapons. They assumed their striking position and kept an eye on the Achilles’ heels of eachother.

Cling! Clang! Bang!

Loud noises of metals clanging were heard in the arena as the two warriors exchanged nonstopattacks and counter attacks in the battlefield. Ice and flame flew around the arena as they attackedeach other without mercy.

Boom! Boom!

The battle was far from over. Again, the two separated and took steps back charging theirmomentum into its peak. Pumped with raging courage, they summoned all their powers into theirweapons in maximum. The arena was about to blow with all the cheering and the wows from thecrowd. Every single one of the audience were at the edge of their seats.

Edgar, who was donning green, stood upright while mustering this spiritual energy in resonancewith his silver spear, just like a legendary spear hero. Seizing the moment, Edgar took up his silverspear and with a swish, thousands of icy rays flew in all directions. No one was safe from thisspectacular combat!

"Six-starred Vibrating Icy rays! Freeze everything!"

And with a thunderous roar, six icy rays again shot in lightning speed from Edgar's silver spear, as ifsix snowy spears had emerged from the World of Ice. They aimed directly towards Ricky. Flashinglike light, these spears traveled fast, ready for the kill.

Heaving a deep sigh, Ricky immediately activated the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body RefiningFormula. This method gave him an orange aura that enveloped his body, just like the infernal poweraround him.

All the training that he went through was not in vain for his robust body was enough to boost hisfighting power to the next stage.

Ricky was focused and nothing in this battle would stop him from achieving victory. He wielded hissaber and executed the Nonuple Flame Strike--- the Fifth Flames Strike again!

And in an instant, the icy rays and infernal flames crashed twice as powerful than they usually were.Ricky and Edgar ran towards each other and collided their weapons once more.

Under that explosion, the fanatic wave of spiritual energy swept across the entire battlefield againthat formed clouds of dust in the arena.

Both warriors exuded great fighting techniques that it was very difficult to decide at this point whowould win. They were equally good competitors to the eyes of the audience.

Thump! Thump!

After a period that seemed like an eternity, heavy footsteps were heard as two silhouettes emergedfrom that cloud of spiritual power. The audience leaned forward to see who this warrior was. Thewinner had emerged from the ashes.

As the spiritual energies dissipated -- two disheveled bodies were revealed. The audience wereshocked as to what happened. Could they both be dead?

Edgar had a sliver of blood flowing out of his lips. Ricky stood there, a little pale though, his hairunruly and skin bruised. Ricky obviously emerged victorious.
