The legendary warrior

Chapter 65 Collision Of Dual Powers

Tensions rose high as the disciples with expectant faces looked forward to another battle. Hands were fidgeting everywhere as the audience were excited to see the fierce battle between two powerful warriors.

Ricky was relaxed about his fight. Another day, another fight, like he was sliding through the competition. Ricky had the upper hand in this battle for he knew what he was capable of. The clock ticked as the fight kept going, but not one bit was Ricky worried.

Ricky and Edgar locked eyes. Their faces grew more serious each moment as they both reflected their desire for victory. Their eyes and their body were hungry for a kill, for the win. Both of them might have underestimated each other for they were far more powerful than they thought. Weapons clanged and forces rocked the earth beneath them.

"I made the right choice. You are indeed so powerful," Edgar said in a stern and forbidding manner with a little smirk, with his fingers wiping the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth. And an overwhelming coldness radiated from him. His enemy was tough as a rock. How could Ricky possibly take him down? Mustering up all the courage and will to fight, he went back to his attack position.

"You are far greater and stronger than Lean," Ricky replied.

.....

"Ricky meant to annoy Lean deliberately."

"There is no need to include Lean in this situation! Ricky just wanted to trash him!"

Hearing these comments, the disciples turned their eyes to Lean, who felt very uncomfortable. Lean was shaken, as he did not expect to hear those words from the warriors in the battlefield. He was angry, so angry that he wanted to stone Ricky to death.

Ricky didn't flinch at the sight of Lean being the victim in the situation. He just said that to emphasize the strength that he felt from his opponent. He didn't mean to make Lean feel bad about his skills and strength.

...

"Ricky, please play your trump card. Otherwise, you are going to lose your victory," Edgar warned when his frosty power rose to the climax.

Deafening sounds of clanging metals were heard, and sparks flew like dragons in the battlefield. Both competitors fought for victory. Metals swung; shields were destroyed one by one. It was pure chaos!

"Clang!" their weapons collided once more. A thunderous sound was followed by Edgar's last word. Everyone was at the edge of their seats. They leaned forward to know what went on.

That thunderous sound was beyond what the audience had in mind. A bolt of purple thunder shaped like thin snakes started to slither around Edgar's body. Everyone's jaw dropped for they couldn't believe at what they saw.

"This ... this is the devastating power of thunder!" All disciples marveled at the spectacular show of power. Purple snake-like bolts slithered Edgar's body. He truly was more powerful beyond what they expected!

"But? How could that even be possible? How could Edgar cultivate two powers of Light Apperception at the same time, and one of them is the destructive and disruptive thunderous power."

Warriors cultivated on the basis of their spiritual meridian which possessed certain natures. And these properties determined the properties of cultivation method which fitted warriors well. Therefore, one warrior could only cultivate one type of power.

If a warrior insisted on cultivating a method which was inconsistent with his spiritual meridians, he would easily lose control during the cultivation and die from the burst of meridians. A powerful death, an overkill.

Edgar could have perfect command of frosty power and thunderous power, but had no signs of losing control or an overload of spiritual meridian. And that made the audience think twice about what they had known all this time. Confusion swallowed the audience for it was nearly impossible to cultivate two powers at the same time. Things did not add up.

'Could it be true that Edgar's spiritual meridian owned dual natures?' Words started flying around when a few disciples thought to themselves.

Like the spiritual meridian that could cast weapons, the spiritual meridian with dual properties was rare but existed. This was one fight that would never be forgotten by any warrior.

It could be said that if a warrior owned a spiritual meridian with dual properties, he could make remarkable achievements though his spiritual meridian was at inferior stage with one star. Edgar rose to the top. His skill and talent only proved that he was a force to be reckoned with. No other warrior was deemed to have dual powers.

If a warrior possessed spiritual meridian with dual natures and it was a intermediate or even advanced one, he would be a talent that could be only seen once in a hundred or thousand years. Edgar was as rare as his skills. He was one for the books, a legend.

This display of power from Edgar not only surprised the disciples, but also caught the attention of Zenith and four Elders high on the platform.

"Chief Zenith..." four Elders looked at Zenith and said.

Hearing the hint given by four Elders, Zenith did not think twice and flicked an ice crystal so tiny that it was invisible to the naked eye. The ice crystal traveled smoothly and landed on Edgar's shoulder and promptly melted into his body.

The ice crystal flicked by Zenith required a special skill set to be seen. No one noticed this ice crystal that melted into Edgar's body except for the powerful four Elders.

As soon as the ice crystal melted, Zenith's eyes changed as if he had already checked if the rumors were true. Zenith's mouth gave a little curl in the corner. And with a trace of joy, he sent a signal to the four Elders, "Elders, he indeed possessed a spiritual meridian with dual properties and it's four-starred inferior spiritual meridian."

"Inferior stage with four stars! Dual properties!" Four Elders were shocked when they heard Zenith's news.

With such delight and astonishment on the Elders' hearts, they kept their faces silent about it. Not one word, not one reaction was seen from them. They didn't want to steer the whole battle to their attention for the real star of the combat was Edgar.

"Chief Zenith, provided more cultivation, our Snow Sect will have another spiritual king and may be a more powerful one," four Elders gave a hint.

"Yes, Edgar really gave us a big surprise today," Zenith exclaimed.

...

'Dual powers? Your trump card is really amazing!' Ricky thought to himself that Edgar's ace in the hole was so incredible. He thought that Edgar might actually have an edge on this game after all and that he might have underestimated his opponent.

But Edgar was not the only one who possessed a powerful trump card in the competition. Ricky also had one aside from the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.

"Ricky, show your ace in the hole. Otherwise this game will be over soon," Edgar said sternly as the frosty and thunderous power encircled him. Edgar had the impression that he overthrew Ricky with his powers and had already won the match, but it wasn't over yet.

"In that case, I will do as you wish," Ricky buckled up. He didn't want to lose this match only because his opponent had dual powers. His eyes flashed bright. He aimed for victory. And in an instant, the powerful aura inside him grew so incredibly that it could be seen feet away.

At the same time, all disciples fixed their attention on the arena for they were eager to see what kind of power Ricky would use to contend with Edgar's dual powers.

Suddenly, flames erupted and encircled Ricky's body in a flawless manner and reached its peak.

After a few moments, Ricky's flame seemed to be frozen directly by the frosty power. His frosty power constantly rose and merged with his flame. It was a sight to watch, but how could this be possible?

Then, a strange scene occurred. The frozen ice and roaring flame should have been contradictory and incompatible, cancelled out, but they achieved a perfect integration when it came to Ricky's cultivation.

"How... how could that be possible? How could Ricky have dual powers?" Some inner disciples marveled at the sight of yet another warrior with dual powers.

"It's incredible! So amazing!"

"Moreover, the dual powers possessed by Ricky should be incompatible roaring flames and frozen ices."

"Yes! But how could it be possible that these two incompatible powers reach perfect integration without any clash?"

"What a grand competition! It's eye-opening... I'm not going to be able to see this for another century!"

All sorts of voices suddenly popped out from the audience.

...

"It seemed to be that he had no spiritual meridian. Only in this way can Ricky cultivate two contradictory powers." Zenith and his companions discussed secretly on the high dais.

It was sure that the reason why Ricky could cultivate these two contradictory powers was that he had regained spiritual meridian and Devouring Skill. However, that was a secret that only Ricky knew.

"How could that be possible? How could these two people possess such spectacular powers?" After seeing the scene on the arena, Rufus became silent no more. He growled with dismay and envy.

Ricky and Edgar's powers had been beyond his expectation. Rufus thus had no self-confidence in defeating Ricky and Edgar. It was difficult to see such amazing powers to battle within the future, but this made him insecure of what he could bring into the competition. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

...

"Hey, buddy! How do you feel about my trump card now huh?" Ricky said with a triumphant smile after seeing the amazement in Edgar's eyes.

"It was awesome! But it still won't be that easy if you want to defeat me," Edgar replied with a challenging tone as his amazement from his opponent diminished.

"Come on, buddy!"

Ricky did not make it any easier for Edgar. With Freezing Palm of the frosty power on his left hand and the flame strike on the right, he launched an attack at Edgar. He released two powers from both hands with the help of the Devouring Skill and flashed a strike at Edgar.

Edgar put on his game face for he wouldn't want to lose to Ricky, or to anyone. He gathered his electricity of thunder and gave off the power of frozen ice to wield his silver spear to counter Ricky's attack.

Both of the warriors' attacks had shaken the whole arena. Yet again, their powers collided and resulted to a deafening noise of thunder.

Two warriors, both with rare abilities of dual powers, battled it out for victory.
