Chapter 75 Reaching Blood Purification (2/2)

The fusion of the blood vitality and the spiritual energy would definitely cause a qualitative change to a warrior. That was the reason why the warrior of Blood Purification had an absolute advantage over that of Skin Refinement. Blood was in the innermost portion of the warrior while skin was superficial, hence Blood Purification warriors were surely stronger than Skin Refinement ones.

There were also exceptions, of course. As a genius, Ricky was an excellent example of those who challenged and defeated a warrior of Blood Refinement with a body of Skin Refinement. A legend i

This fact of Ricky's improvement inspired Heather. She practiced even harder than usual. She did not want to lag behind Ricky, as she wanted to be as strong and powerful as him.

Ricky gave the five Blood Purification Pills to Heather as gifts. Now that he had already been a warrior of Blood Purification and owned the Devouring Skill, the Blood Purification Pills were no more useful for him. So he made a kind offer to Heather, and expected her to make some progress.

During the next few days of Ricky's road to improvement, he started to comprehend the Five Beasts Arts. He did whatever it took for him to become an exceptional warrior. Book after book he read, even during afternoons he would practice his craft.

He planned to leave the Snow Sect to experience the world outside the Sect after he finished the cultivation of the Five Beasts Arts. There might be dangers, but only through that could he become stronger and tougher than he had always been.

There were many people who kept an eye on his every move; the Refinement Faction, the Casting Faction, and Nate. Ricky was well aware of that. He had to grow stronger as soon as possible before they had him disappear in the jungle.

He would not make any extravagant wish, for example, to defeat them. But at least, he needed to be strong enough to protect himself from other warriors, bandits, or from any natural disaster that might come his way.

Another reason would be that he wanted freedom away from rules that could prevent him from even killing a fellow sect member even if they tried to prey on him for his powers. He did not feel safe in the Snow Sect even though there was someone protecting him, like Grace, or something protecting him, like one of the rules which stated that fellow disciples of the Snow Sect were forbidden to kill each other. Those people would definitely have a plan on him when they figured out he was too powerful and he would threaten their positions. They would kill him when the chance came. Ricky was certain about that.

Hence, leaving the Sect to experience and toughen himself would be the best choice.

As long as he left this place, he could go anywhere he liked. By that time, the search for him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack for those men.

...

It did not take long before he got an initial comprehension of the Five Beasts Arts. After that, Ricky was mentally and physically ready to bid goodbye to Grace and leave. However, someone dropped in in the dead of night before he even had the chance to do anything. He glanced at the door and to his surprise, it was Agnes.

Ricky felt rather puzzled at her showing up. He and Agnes barely knew each other and they were not close at all.

But why did she pay him a midnight visit? Was there anything important to talk about in the middle of the night? Ricky thought of all explanations as to why Agnes would go to him, out of all people.
