Chapter 63 The Strongest Flesh (2/2)

”Yes, I understand!” The four other elders acknowledged Zenith's order with a nod.

”But, we must keep it a secret. He cannot know this decision for now. He has the great will, that

y wanted very much to kill Lean right then and there. But he knew he couldn't, not with Zenith and the other elders still present. That would be too arrogant and he was sure that those elders would prefer to keep a strong yet modest disciple, so what he had done was enough to prove his point.

”This fight proves that I have the strongest flesh among the outer disciples!”

Ricky announced loudly to Lean, and to everyone from the Refinement Faction. He needed not to conceal the extent of capabilities anymore, as everyone had witnessed his full power now.

”So arrogant!” ”How could he be so arrogant?!” Many inner disciples from the Refinement Faction started to curse at him upon his bold announcement.

”Oh, god! He is so arrogant! How dare he say that in public when there are so many men from the Refinement Faction present?”

”Perhaps that's just part of him being a genius!”

”Well, he's right! He has proven himself to be stronger than any outer disciple! Don't you think so? We all saw what he just did!”

...

”Ricky, Ricky!” Lean snarled, squeezing the name out through his gritted teeth. In agony, Lean could do nothing but shoot Ricky with a hateful glare. His movements were restricted thanks to Ricky's attack. Oh, how he wished he could slaughter him into pieces!

”You are lucky, don't you know? This is a Snow Sect Competition and I can't just kill you here and now. Otherwise, the outcome would have been very different!” Ricky whispered in his ear, threateningly.

He then turned around and jumped off the arena casually, leaving the weakened Lean dumbfounded on the floor.

Once again, Lean spat red, blood dripping from his mouth.

So far, the competition for the strongest body was over. Ricky ranked the second among the outer disciples. Lean, meanwhile, had already dropped to the fifth for now.

The elders were shocked and yet also pleased to have witnessed Ricky's ability. As Elder Evan declared the end of this competition, the next battle began soon after.
