In general, weapons of Demi-spirit Level were really impossible to collide with incomplete spiritual
weapons because spiritual weapons were far more superior, given its own psychic intelligence.
There was, however, an exception to this rule: it would be possible to collide the two if the Demi-spirit
weapon were to be cast by a genius casting master of Spirit Level. This was because in that particular
situation, this kind of Demi-spirit weapon would contain genuine innate power as well as an innate
sight.
Thus it would be able to compete with the incomplete spiritual weapon.
Just now, the armor had released its power. At the same time, the innate power of Iron Destroyer had
also been activated, thereby protecting Ricky from getting tragically hurt.
"Is this Iron Destroyer cast by the old guy—Alexander?" Ivan blurted out in astonishment.
"Humph! Didn't your parents ever teach you to be polite while talking to others?" Ricky said coldly. The
next moment, he raised the Iron Destroyer and slashed at Ivan.
"Boom!" Once again, the Iron Destroyer collided with the black armor.
Already expecting brute force from the collision, Ricky immediately retreated several steps after the
collision. Ivan also retreated, but he wasn't as quick. Blood flowed out from his mouth due to the strong
vibration from the collision.
"Ricky, you will never break my defense using your Demi-spirit weapon. Don't even think about it!" Ivan
roared, the fear in his eyes showing.
"Humph! Don't fool yourself anymore. You and I both know that by the time you passed the nine stairs,
the innate power of your armor had already been almost depleted," Ricky sneered.
"Complete spiritual weapons can automatically generate innate power. Incomplete spiritual weapons,
on the other hand, cannot. Thus, long before the innate power of my Iron Destroyer is exhausted, the
power of your armor will have been exhausted first.
Besides, even if the power of your armor does not get exhausted, you will still die due to constant
collisions, whereas I, at most, will only be seriously hurt by them. No matter what happens, I will still be
the winner, and all of the opportunities in this Iron Pagoda will still belong to me."
"Ricky! You!" Ivan roared unwillingly after hearing Ricky's words. He was furious and really wanted to
kill Ricky now.
But Ricky could not care less about Ivan at all. He merely waved his Iron Destroyer and slashed at Ivan
fiercely.
"Boom!" The next moment, the sounds of strong collision rang loudly. After the thirteenth collision, a
pile of black metal flakes scattered everywhere, and Ivan's body fell heavily on the ground, lifeless.
Now that the black armor had been broken, for Ricky, Ivan was like a lamb brought to the slaughter.
Ricky killed him effortlessly.
Ricky walked over to Ivan's body just to make sure that he was dead. Upon seeing his lifeless body,
Ricky felt relieved. It wasn't that Ricky was being too careful, but Ivan truly was a terrible opponent. If
he had been a little bit stronger, he could have been a fatal threat.
"The feud is finally over!" Ricky sighed.
However, Ricky knew better. He knew that this wasn't the end of it, and once he left the Earth Fire
Place, he would be facing much greater risks for he was the only person who was able to survive from
the Iron Pagoda.
The people behind Ivan and Andrew, as well as the clans and forces of the disciples who died in the
Iron Pagoda were sure to lay the blame on Ricky.
"How annoying this all is!" Ricky muttered in dismay.
But he tried not to think too much about it. He didn't have much time to waste. He still had a lot to do.
Next, he had to see what opportunities could be in this Iron Pagoda.
"Congratulations! You've survived from final test. Next, all the opportunities here will belong to you!"
This time, the sound of the Iron Pagoda was heard again.
Suddenly, a flame appeared in front of Ricky. After the flame dispersed, a middle-aged man dressed in
a magnificent flame robe appeared. The intensity of the flames made it impossible for Ricky to see the
man's face.
"You... Are you the spirit of this Iron Pagoda?" Ricky asked, failing to hide the astonishment in his
voice, while he was looking at this man.
"Ha-ha. Yes, I'm the spirit of this Iron Pagoda." The man smiled, looking at Ricky with satisfaction.
"This... What's the grade of this Iron Pagoda?" Ricky asked, feeling even more astounded upon
hearing the man admit his identity.
Spiritual weapons had their won psychic intelligence, so some of them could even speak. However,
Ricky had never heard that the psychic intelligence of a spiritual weapon could possibly have its own
body.
"Grade? This word is not suitable for me," the man answered with disdain.
"Well, don't waste my time anymore. Let me give you the opportunities you have earned," the man said
with a little impatience. In an instant, an invisible power moved towards Ricky and immediately
enveloped him.
"Wait a moment. I don't want the opportunities now. Let me go!" Ricky felt fear. He was in crisis. All he
could think of was to tell the man that he wanted to leave.
"Ha-ha. Now that you've passed the test, you have no choice! Accepting the opportunities or not is not
up to you!" The man laughed loudly.
"As I've expected, this is a set up!" Ricky said, now completely sure that this was the conspiracy of the
man in the robe upon hearing his laugh.
What he'd been worried about actually happened.
"Ha-ha. You are smart. But it's too late," the man said smugly.
"If you're going to kill me, then the least you can do is tell me the reason for all this," Ricky said coldly.
"Alright. Now that your body will soon become mine, I will tell you what you want to know." The man
didn't refuse Ricky's request. He explained everything to Ricky, not leaving any details out.
The Earth Fire Place would soon disappear, and the Iron Pagoda, which was also this man, couldn't
walk out of the Earth Fire Place by himself at all because he was seriously hurt.
And he didn't want to die, of course. Thus he figured out a way to solve his problem—possession.
Once he possessed the body of a warrior, he would be able to walk out of the Earth Fire Place.
Now that he had decided to possess a warrior's body, he wanted to choose the strongest one here.
Thus he set up opportunities to attract warriors like Ricky to battle for them. The person who passed
the test and became the winner would naturally be the warrior he chose to possess. This was the so-
called opportunity prepared for the warriors.
"Now do you understand?" The man laughed haughtily.
"Yes. I understand," Ricky said faintly as he started to accept his doom.
"To be honest, you really surprised me. The weird devouring flame, the mysterious power and the
indomitable spirit, I'd never seen any of those before!" The man exclaimed.
"It seems to me that you are a person with a lot of amazing opportunities. You must be very unwilling
now.
But you may rest assured that I'll inherit everything you have and make them even more powerful. You
should be happy knowing that."
'Go to hell! There's no way I'll be happy because of being possessed by you!' Ricky cursed in his mind
after hearing the man's words. He couldn't say his thoughts out loud. He didn't want to displease the
man any further.
"Close your eyes. This way, you'll feel better as I am possessing you. Otherwise you will have to die in
torture," the man said as he prepared himself for the possession.
"Wait a minute! I want to talk to you first!" Ricky yelled.
