Chapter 56 Sect Chief—Zenith (1/2)

However, not all of the nine elders would attend the Outer Competition.

From mid-air, four figures came floating down. The first one, who was familiar to Ricky, was Elder Abbott. He had just hosted two of Ricky's most recent battles to the death.

From the murmur of the other disciples, Ricky came to know the other three elders.

One grizzly man was Elder Neil; one old woman was Elder Lucia, and the last one was an ancient-looking man who had been the top elder of the Snow Sect. He had achieved demi-immortality for centuries.

He was known as a senior demi-immortal.

Their presences showed the difficulty in making a breakthrough to the level of an innate spirit from that of only a demi-immortal.

The four elders settled down, smiling at the disciples and standing beside the chairs on the dais. The sect chief of the Snow Sect hadn't arrived yet; they did not sit down out of courtesy.

”Are they waiting for the sect chief? I've heard that the chief of the Snow Sect is an out-and-out inborn overmatch. What could he be like?” Ricky murmured to himself.

”Ricky, it is said that the sect chief is honored as the top-ranked overmatch of the whole Snow Land!” Heather whispered into his ear.

”As the top-ranked overmatch of the Snow Sect, he must really deserve to be the sect chief!” Ricky thought.

...

”Ricky!” An aggressive voice yelled. Two young men walked up to Ricky and Heather.

One of them was Lean, and Ricky also knew the other one as Jarvis, the fourth-ranked outer disciple. They both belonged to the Refinement Faction.

”Lean, what's up? What? Can't wait to watch my body refinement cultivation method again?” Ricky snickered, looking scornfully at Lean.

”Watch your cultivation method? Don't flatter yourself of your nonsense refinement cultivation method! I'm here to warm you to watch your back at Outer Competition!” Lean said ferociously, his lips curling.
