Chapter 349 Challenging The First Guard (1/2)

Ricky said as he stared disdainfully at Lucas.

He was teaching Lucas an important lesson: being arrogant might cost him his life especially since there was always someone stronger than him. He also wanted Lucas to know that he could have easily died had Ricky not held back.

Ricky expressed that he would show no mercy and would not hesitate to kill him if he ever tried to pick a fight again in the future.

Lucas, on the other hand, struggled to steady himself on the ground. With one hand, he clutched his chest, panting breathlessly. He heard and understood Ricky, and caught all the implied meanings behind his words. Resentfully, he could not anything but keep silent, in order to not provoke Ricky anymore. This fight had made him painfully aware that he was weaker. Wordless, he staggered to his feet and staggered down the stairs. Before long, he had already disappeared into the crowd and was nowhere to be seen.

All the onlookers--the other Royal Sky Guards--were dumbfounded by what they witnessed. Their jaws were agape as they stared with wide eyes at Ricky. They were completely stunned for a few moments before some of them finally came to and began to whisper secretly with their internal strength. ”What? Is this the end of the fight? Lucas lost the battle?! Russell's victory was absolute!”

”Yeah, that's incredible! If Lucas had used some other methods or skills, there would have still been a chance for him to beat Russell. But he chose the devouring power without knowing that Russell has it too! What's more, Russell's is far stronger than his! He was by no means a match for Russell in this respect!”

”I have to admit that Russell has really strong power. I don't think any of us would be able to defeat him. It's probably only that guy who can compete with him!”

The whispers spread over the surroundings. When they mentioned ”that guy”, all the Royal Sky Guards turned to look at another man in the crowd. He was young, wore simple clothes, and had been silent from the beginning.

The throng began to stir again. ”No way! I don't think Chief would send him to fight! He is too strong and might kill Russell! I think the Chief values Russell's genius and doesn't want him die!”

”Well, we have no idea what's on Chief's mind. She has her own plan.”

”As you have already witnessed, Chief, I won again this round. May I know the reward?”

Ricky turned around to face the Chief and asked in a politely manner as he made a small bow. Forgetting about the reward was the last thing he would do. Tyson was right; the mysterious reward was one of the main reasons why he had come here to fight today. Defeating others was not reason enough.

”You have a good memory to remember those things. You may come with me and pick out a Treasure from Heaven and Earth of King Level as you wish after we are done here,” the Chief replied with a proud glint in her eyes.

”Thank you, Chief! I'm honored,” Ricky exclaimed with excitement. A huge grin had spread on his face and his eyes lit up upon hearing her mention the King Level.

At his current level, only Treasures from Heaven and Earth of King Level or something even more superior could whet his appetite.
