Immediately, Ricky retrieved the Devouring Fire.
Of course he also heard the screams round after round. He felt pity for them in his heart, of course. But
what could Ricky do? These warriors knew what they were getting into when they dared to enter the
pagoda, so they must have been prepared to be burned to death by the Beast Fire.
He shook his head slightly and sat down in the space he was in as he waited for the pagoda to change
again.
Ricky guessed that the pagoda didn't let them in so they could simply refine the Beast Fire. No, he
knew the pagoda wanted something more. But he couldn't leave now, so he decided to wait quietly for
the end and see what the next move of the pagoda would be.
He also did not know why the Fire Dragon Egg kept sending him messages in the Chaotic Fire Zone.
Obviously, it was not because of the Beast Fire, so he knew there must be other changes to come.
……
An hour later, the tragic cries ended, indicating that the end of this precious opportunity to subdue the
Beast Fire.
The eyes of the warriors who bought noodles to the pagoda were not full of helplessness and
unwillingness. All they had was fear, and their white as sheet faces said more than they ever could.
The look in their eyes told a thousand words. In them, the tragic fate of the warriors burned to death by
Beast Fire could be seen, and even those were not enough to fully encompass just how horrible what
happened was.
From the outside, everyone knew that from the 200 people who entered the tower, only about one-tenth
of them were able to successfully integrate the Beast Fire. That was to say that there were only about
twenty people who survived inside the tower.
In that moment, the people outside felt so lucky that they did not follow everyone else into the pagoda.
……
"Now that the Beast Fire is over, the pagoda should change again any minute now," Ricky said,
standing up slowly as the screams died down.
The moment he stood up, an old vast voice sounded in his ears.
"Congratulations to you twenty-six human warriors for obtaining a Beast Fire of your own!"
"This... This pagoda can speak!" Ricky exclaimed upon hearing the sound, his hands shaking in shock.
He had been on the road of the casting weapons for so many days. How could he not understand what
the this meant?
Above the instrument, there was a spiritual weapon. The spiritual weapon was the weapon that took
the essence of heaven and earth. It made sense that the spiritual weapon would give birth to its own
intellect.
Since the spiritual weapon had its own intelligence, it could communicate with its own masters, to
maximize the fit, and to exert the strongest power.
But not all weapons could speak autonomously and communicate with its masters. Only the high grade
spiritual weapons could do that.
High grade spiritual weapon! Ricky once heard that high grade spiritual weapons could only be used by
a warrior who had surpassed the spiritual king for only he deserved to use it.
He wondered how strong a man must be in order to surpass the spiritual king. Ricky could only imagine
someone with a power so strong that they could wield the high grade spiritual weapon, and so you
could only imagine just how precious the high grade spiritual weapon was.
Since this tower could speak on its own, it was safe to assume that it was also a high grade spiritual
weapon.
"A high grade spiritual weapon! No wonder the Fire Dragon Egg keeps on alerting me!" In that moment,
Ricky finally understood why the Fire Dragon Egg kept reminding him that he must get the Ragged Iron
Pagoda.
Ricky was not the only one who was aware of what the pagoda actually was. Most of the warriors in the
pagoda also knew that the pagoda was a high grade spiritual weapon. But even those who did not
know that knew that the pagoda was something else. No one could deny that it was extraordinary.
Therefore, in that moment the twenty six warriors in the pagoda were eager for action.
"You all have two choices," the tower continued. "You can choose to go out now, or you can continue to
accept the next challenge. By the end of the next test, only one of you will still be alive.
So make a choice. If you choose to quit, crush the red light beside you."
After that, the pagoda stopped talking, waiting for the twenty six warriors to make their choice.
As soon as the pagoda stopped talking, Ricky found a circle of red light on his side.
'Twenty-six persons, only one can live. I hope Theo and the others do not choose to continue,
otherwise what the only thing I can do is pray for them.' Ricky hoped in his heart as he looked at the
red light.
Ricky, on the other hand, had no choice but to continue. He thought him being at the seventh grade of
Blood Purification, and with various skills up his sleeve, he knew he could make it.
After a quarter of an hour, the pagoda said again, "Now that you have all made your choice, when you
face your death I hope you don't regret it. Now there are ten people left in the pagoda!
One of you will be the final winner. The last man standing in this pagoda will be the champion.
"The ten of you will be divided into two pairs. Remember, it is not your power which will help you win
the competition, but how well you control the flames in your body!"
After a while, Ricky felt a shock in his body as a huge red space appeared. Ricky recognized it as
another layer of space in the pagoda!
In an instant, Ricky felt an invisible force in his body. All of a sudden, his spiritual energy were
suppressed, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not release it at all.
All that remained in his body was the power of the remaining flame.
'It seems that this test truly is about how well we can control the flame. Right now, the only combat
power I can use is the power of the flame left in my body, ' Ricky said in his mind.
"However, which one is my opponent?" Ricky tried to focus his eyes.
Soon, a figure appeared in in front of him.
When Ricky saw the figure, he laughed out loud, barely able to contain his joy. Because from the figure
that was less than one meter high, Ricky knew that it was his old enemy, Andrew, who was going to
fight against him.
'God is with me indeed!' Ricky exclaimed happily in his mind.
"Little bastard, what a coincidence that we are going to be fighting today," Andrew said with excitement
the moment he found out that his opponent was Ricky.
At the same time, Andrew also shouted in his heart, 'God has helped me to meet this bastard. This
time, I certainly won't let him get out of here alive!'
In the next moment, Ricky and Andrew's eyes locked with each other. They looked at each other with
intensity and hate. Their hatred towards each other had reached the limit, and blood must be shed at
this moment!
"Andrew, I really don't know where you get your courage from. Did you take this test because you have
faith in your being at the first grade of Blood Purification or your less than one meter height?" Ricky
said, trying to provoke Andrew.
"Courage? Just wait, I will let you know where my courage comes from, little bastard!" Andrew snorted.
"Ah! "You are quite confident. Even with just the flame, you were still defeated by me. It was so back
then, and it will still be so now," Ricky said with contempt.
"Oh! But you have no idea what's about to happen!"
Boom!
In that moment, the Beast Fire on Andrew started to burn, and its burning momentum directly
pummeled towards Ricky.
