The legendary warrior Chapter 1222 Selection Of The Holy Son

"Thanks a lot, Hayes!"

Ricky said gratefully.

He noticed that Hayes and Guillermo had completely different attitudes when facing failure, and he very
much preferred Hayes' approach. He believed that with Hayes' personality, he would surely achieve
great heights in the future.

"Ricky, if you want, you can tell him about the Justice Skill of the Holy Three-Saber and your
comprehension of the Justice Skill.

It might help him to break through to the Sage Level," the Dragon Intent Grass suggested.

"Hayes is an honest and straightforward person. If he can reach the Sage Level soon, he will surely be
a great help when the time comes. He can help us fight the devils who will undoubtedly try to invade," it
added further.

"Okay, I will."

Ricky nodded and then said to Hayes, "We can discuss our martial arts experience some more later. I
think that will be helpful to both of us."

"That would be wonderful!"

Hayes grinned brightly and nodded eagerly to Ricky's suggestion.

Meanwhile, most of the warriors who watched their fight were in a state of shock. "Ricky just defeated
Hayes!" some of them cried out. Some others commented, "He actually has six kinds of mutants. That
is unbelievable!"



It was entirely conceivable that for a long time to come, they would all have to immerse themselves in
the power of Ricky's six kinds of mutants.

'Those six mutants are really troublesome!' thought Mordechai sullenly as he watched Ricky.
'Fortunately, Ricky has not yet reached a higher realm, or there would have been no need to continue
the battle since he would definitely win in that case.'

It was at this moment that Ashley sent a message to Mordechai through telepathy.

"It's your turn to repay me, Mordechai."

"What can I do for you? Just tell me, and I will try my best!" Mordechai immediately simpered as soon
as he heard Ashley's words.

The truth was that he had his own assumption. Even though he focused on cultivation, it didn't mean
that he knew nothing about everything else.

Ashley was probably going to ask him to defeat Ricky in her stead.

Just as he expected, she soon said, "Please help me defeat Ricky!"

"Don't worry. I need to defeat Ricky anyway regardless of the reason, for I am eager to be the holy son.
You know that,"

Mordechai answered confidently.

"Oh, thank you very much! Now, let me tell you about Ricky's secret weapons.

That way, he can't take you by surprise," added Ashley.

'So, I was right. Those six mutants were not his last trump cards...' thought Mordechai.



He had thought that Ricky had a lot of secrets that he was keeping to himself, and it turned out that he
was scarily accurate.

"Ashley, you don't need to tell me about his trump cards, as that is unfair to him. I will face him fairly,
and even if I fail, I won't complain.

If I find out the enemy's trump card ahead of time and use that knowledge to get an advantage, my
martial arts path will be incomplete. A battle won that way is worthless to me," he retorted.

"Then I can only wish you luck. Be careful. Make sure that you treat this battle with the desperation of a
life-and-death match, or else you will lose,"

Ashley reminded him earnestly.

She didn't say anything more about Ricky's trump cards because she respected Mordechai's wishes.
She understood where he was coming from when he said that he didn't want to win against Ricky in
that way. To some extent, it seemed dishonorable.

She wouldn't even mention it if she didn't hate Ricky so much. However, her hatred for Ricky
overpowered her honor, and that was why she suggested it.

"Thank you for reminding me,"

Mordechai replied before he set his attention back to Ricky.

Before long, Mordechai and Ricky were ready and eager to fight in the Combat Space.

This battle between the two was the battle over the position of the holy son, so all eyes were focused
on them. After all, one of them would soon be the honorable holy son of the wood branch.



In contrast to the prestige in store for the winner, people would undoubtedly ignore the loser of this
battle.

However, most of the people there had almost no information on these two people, so there was not
much talking going on.

Everything they knew about Ricky came from unverified rumors, except the six kinds of mutants that he
had shown in the previous battle.

On the other hand, Mordechai had joined the wood branch a long time ago, but he had always kept a
low profile except for some fights in a few places. He had been with them for many years, and yet,
none of them knew what his mutant was.

The battle between these two people immediately attracted Lloyd's attention.

Of course, nobody noticed that Lloyd was in the void, observing the battle.

"It's an honor to fight you, Mordechai!" Ricky greeted, inclined his head politely, and clasped his hands
together.

"Your six kinds of mutants are incredible! I have never seen anything so unique throughout my life!"

Mordechai praised him good-naturedly.

And his words elicited pleased laughter from Ricky, who answered, "Ha-ha! My mutants have become
boring since everybody knows of their existence. On the contrary, I'm sure a lot of people here are
fervently anticipating the reveal of your unknown mutant."

"As you said, I've never shown it before. That's the only reason the public is curious, and there's really
nothing special about it,"



Mordechai replied with a knowing smile.

"I hope I can push you enough in this battle that you will finally reveal your mutant,"

Ricky responded with an equally meaningful smile.

They had not even finished speaking to each other when both of their strength suddenly surged to the
extreme.

Eyes met with piercing gazes that resembled lightning collisions, and their bodies slammed against
each other with a loud bang. Their feet landed back in the void, tearing through space from the forceful
impact.

Mordechai didn't waste time and immediately broke out the double powers of bone and wood.

The wooden dragon and the vines surrounded him in an instant, and hard, white bones grew out of
Mordechai's body. They were irregularly shaped and had varying lengths, but they all had something in
common. The bones shone with an eerie light.

In particular, the pale bones were strongest in terms of defense when they were curled up, while the
straighter ones made better offensive weapons.

Meanwhile, Ricky dared not slack off in any way. The moment his power surged out, he instantly burst
out his six kinds of mutants.

He had no choice but to break his mutants out this early in battle because Mordechai was too powerful.

At the same time, he activated the Ultimate Golden Body in the blink of an eye, and its golden light
soon drowned the whole Combat Space in golden light.



The white bones abruptly exploded out of Mordechai's body, each shard so dense that they could even
match a demi-sacred weapon's strength. Ricky had to use his Ultimate Golden Body to defend himself,
or else the bone shards would have cut him up pretty badly.

Bang!

The moment the two forces clashed, the world shook as if two gigantic monsters had collided.

Mordechai looked like a skeleton monster, decorated with white bone vines, while Ricky seemed like a
colorful monster.

Boom! Another apocalyptic collision shook the entire Combat Space violently, as intense anti-seismic
force thundered across the land.

The surrounding warriors nervously looked at each other, afraid that the space they were standing on
could collapse at any time.

It took a lot of time before the ripples of airwaves fully receded in the Combat Space.

Crack!

As the two fought against each other, a loud cracking sound suddenly rang out.

In this way, it became clear that although the two of them had only clashed once, they had erupted with
their strongest power.

Obviously, this was going to be a fierce fight.

Boom!



The instant they were bounced back, they planted their hands and feet on the void to stop their
momentums, consequently tearing the space apart. Then, they collided with each other again fiercely.

"Hyaaa!"

From the other's perspective, the powers they broke out and the strength of their bodies were well
matched.

Endless fighting spirit flowed out from them like a river, and they could not help but roar out.

Bang!

In the succeeding violent blast wave, only the interwoven figures and the broken space fragments
could be seen.

"What a fierce battle! Their initial attacks were as powerful as some of our final attacks. I have to admit
that they are both more powerful than me,"

Hayes remarked from the side, amazed.

"Who do you think will win, Hayes?" some disciples asked curiously.

Hayes could only shrug indifferently as he shook his head.

"I honestly don't know. I have no idea how powerful their trump cards are.

But I might have a better idea once they show more of their powers."

In just a few minutes, Ricky and Mordechai had fought for hundreds of rounds.
