There was another reason why Ricky, Edie, and Winifred caught the attention of the crowd. It was
because everyone knew that Lundy, Raylan, and Ashley invited Edie to team up with them, but he had
refused them all. Seeing Edie with Ricky, of course, caught their attention.
"I don't know what's wrong with Edie! He refused all of the invitations he got from Lundy, Raylan, and
Ashely. Does he think that he has a chance of getting his hands on the Blood Beast King by himself?" a
warrior whispered.
"Unfortunately, we are not strong enough to get their attention!"
"But we should not give up so easily. Once the Blessing Blood Tower appears, we should give it a try."
A heated discussion broke out among the warriors.
Among all the geniuses here, Lundy only had respect for Ashley and Raylan. He thought that they were
the only ones who were qualified to be his opponents. "I don't get it. The Five-element Sect is a
powerful force, so why did you accept the invitation and come here? Why would you get involved in the
fight for the Emperor Beast Swamp in the endless mountain?" Lundy said to the two talents.
No matter how confident he was and believed that he would become a more powerful warrior in the
future, he had to take Ashley and Raylan seriously. Only an incredibly conceited man would
underestimate them, and he was anything but that.
Meanwhile, Lundy looked a little restless. His brother was supposed to be here, but there was no sign
of him. He was even more worried when he saw that Edie, Ricky, and Winifred had already arrived
together. His intuition was telling him that something bad had happened to his brother.
"Since we have accepted their invitation, we would do our job," Raylan replied. "Lundy, don't tell us that
you are afraid to lose to us?"
"Ha-ha!" Lundy just let out a laugh.
Instead of joining the conversation, Ashley chose to stand there and remain silent while she waited.
However, all the geniuses present could feel that an intense atmosphere had enveloped between
Lundy, Raylan, and Ashley. They were laughing outwardly, but they were hostile to each other in reality.
"These three are very powerful. Ashley and Raylan even rank very high among the peerless geniuses.
As for Lundy, I have a feeling that he is as talented as I am. Apparently, he is an ace genius," Ricky
remarked inwardly.
"This is the first time I've met an ace genius. Although Autelan, Soar, and Jasper have the potential to
be ace geniuses, they didn't have the inheritance for it, and their blood powers haven't been awakened.
Thus, they are not really ace geniuses now," he added.
"There are few ace geniuses in the world. The three you mentioned have the potential to be ace
geniuses, but it's still uncertain whether they can be ace geniuses. Lundy became an ace genius,
thanks to his talent and his birthplace. After all, the endless mountain is the gathering place of the
dragon meridian in the Misty South, and the Fortune River is also situated there,"
the Dragon Intent Grass responded.
"I have a question. Since the endless mountain is where the Misty South's dragon meridian is located
and it is also considered the Misty South's land of fortune, why are there more strong warriors in the
Middle Land than in the endless mountain?" Ricky asked out of curiosity.
"It's very simple. The Middle Land is a better place for warriors than the endless mountain. Fortune is
important to creatures' cultivation, but the cultivation environment is more important than that. Once
you get to the Middle Land, you will realize that it is much better than the endless mountain," the
Dragon Intent Grass replied.
At the same time, all the warriors were waiting while they discussed the upcoming competition with one
another.
The overwhelming power of the blessing power still permeated the Giant Visible Swamp, so none of
them dared to make the first move.
They were all waiting for the Blessing Blood Tower to appear and absorb most of the blessing power.
The so-called Blessing Blood Tower was actually the combination of the warriors' will and the blessing
power. After the warriors had fallen here, their will lingered in the swamp and absorbed the blessing
power, forming the tower. The Blood Beast King was created during that process.
"Ricky, take it." At this point, Edie and Winifred gave some of their marsh mud to Ricky.
"What? Why are you giving it to me?" Ricky asked, confused.
"Although we don't want to admit it, we are too weak to get the Blood Beast King. So we will give up.
You're our last hope," Edie said.
"We just hope that you can share with us once you have obtained the Blood Beast King. I know it's a
rude request. But the blood beast's energy and inheritance mean a lot to us. We are desperate to have
it," Winifred cut in.
"Got it." Ricky nodded at them and took the swamp mud.
"Don't worry. I have never turned on my friends.
As long as I get my hands on the Blood Beast King, you will have a share in it," he reassured them.
Boom!
All of a sudden, the blood-colored blessing power that covered the Giant Visible Swamp surged
forward. When it reached the center, multiple shadows suddenly started forming.
These shadows belonged to all kinds of emperor beasts such as the Red Potentate Roc, the Wind
Benu, the Chromatic Peacock, and the Seven-headed Golden Lion.
As the beasts growled fiercely, they gathered and transformed into a blood-colored tower.
It was a three-story tower. All the warriors sensed it and found there was a huge space on each floor.
"Is this the Blessing Blood Tower?" Ricky asked.
"Yes. But it's more like a gathering of three different spaces than a tower," Edie answered. "The Blood
Beast King is on the first floor.
All the warriors will enter through the third floor, and the most powerful warriors will have access to the
second floor. Then, two warriors who can defeat the rest will enter the first floor to fight over the Blood
Beast King."
"I see," Ricky responded.
Soon after the Blessing Blood Tower took shape, almost all of the warriors dashed toward it.
Of course, Lundy, Ashley, and Raylan moved faster than the others.
Meanwhile, several warriors also stayed outside the tower, like Edie and Winifred.
"What's up, Edie? Why are you still here?" Sumner asked curiously when he saw that Edie was still
outside.
"I just don't want to waste time. I won't win anyway," Edie replied with a small smile.
"I see. Well, even if we can't get what we want, we can get the chance to fight with these geniuses. I
think that will be a good experience," Sumner commented.
However, Edie didn't look interested in what Sumner just said.
"Whatever," he replied in a frosty tone.
Ricky jumped up, and as he entered the third floor of the Blessing Blood Tower, he found that it was a
blood-colored space. In the next second, he trembled slightly and landed on a blood-colored battle ring.
In a blink of an eye, another young man appeared in the ring.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Anderson Qin from the Yellow Imperial Crocodile tribe." The young man
introduced himself politely at the sight of Ricky. "I didn't expect that my first opponent would be you,
Kenney."
"My real name is Ricky Nan," Ricky said with a polite smile. "Kenney is just my alias."
He would be leaving the endless mountain as soon as he left the Emperor Beast Swamp. And besides,
Lundy already knew his real name. Thus, he figured that there was no need to hide his identity any
longer.
"Oh, I see, Ricky," Anderson responded with a faint smile. "Anyway, it doesn't matter what your name
is. What really matters is the outcome of this battle.
Although we will not be able to get our hands on the Blood Beast King, we must be serious about every
fight as a warrior," he added.
"You are right. Let's get started!" Ricky said at once, nodding at him impatiently.
"Take this!"
The moment Anderson finished his sentence, the ring was engulfed by yellow water, and a strong
killing intent enveloped it.
"The Imperial Crocodile Claw!" Anderson shouted.
In the next moment, thousands of yellow sharp claws appeared under the yellow water.
