Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 44 Devouring Skill

When Ricky saw the words in his mind, he once again felt the immense vastness which was felt

immortal, as if it were from the infinite remote antiquity.

"It is the Chaos Manual!" Ricky exclaimed to himself.

Now, Ricky faintly felt that his new spiritual meridian was more than just that, like it was also a kind of

inheritance. Because he had no spiritual meridian, it just acted in place of one.

"The description on Manuals is supposed to be about the Casting Skill, then the Devouring Skill is..."

Ricky said in a low voice, and his spirit again communicated with those runes that had intruded into his

Soul Sea.

Just then, he felt that the mysterious runes turned into a huge block of information that absorbed into

his mind.

Soon, Ricky completely understood what the Chaos Manual and Devouring Skill were.

From the new-gained information, Ricky learned that the Chaos Manual had been created since the

beginning of heaven and earth. It was said to be the first treasure in the world for it was not only as

simple as a casting manual, but also included a multitude of cultivation methods of martial arts.

Those combination of these martial arts cultivation skills and casting skills formed the Nine Supreme

Skills, which comprised the Chaos Manual.

The Devouring Skill was the first skill of the Nine Supreme Skills.

"The Chaos Manual, the first treasure, has nine supreme skills. But what kind of person would be its

original owner? And why would my mother have it?" After understanding how powerful the Chao

Manual was, Ricky was taken aback.

"I can't tell anyone about the Chaos Manual. Or I'll be in a lot of trouble!" Ricky warned himself.

Blood Zone, the first segment of the new spiritual meridian, contained the Devouring Skill which was

the first skill of the Chaos Manual. Those mysterious runes turned out to be the cultivation method of

the Devouring Skill.

The other eight supreme skills were in the other eight segments of Ricky's spiritual meridian. Now he

understood why it had split.

To learn the remaining skills, Ricky would have to enhance within his own realm, inciting the

emergence of the other eight segments. This was the same method he had used to obtain the Blood

Zone.

Now, the Blood Zone would be called the Devouring Zone instead.

The scarlet flames accompanying Devouring Skill was a peculiar fire indeed - Devouring Fire.

"This means... With the Devouring Skill and Devouring Fire, I am actually qualified to become a basic

casting master!" Ricky realized, excitement coursing through his body. "From now on, I, Ricky, will be

one of those distinguished and respected casting masters!"

He grinned from ear to ear, now extremely confident about his future in martial arts.

Soon, Ricky completely immersed himself in the Devouring Skill, once he had fully absorbed and

understood how to complete the casting skill and cultivation method in the Devouring Skill.

For an entire day and night, Ricky was deep in his mind, trying to fully absorb everything. He didn't feel

hunger, and did not know how long it would take for him to wake up.

Once he opened his eyes, Ricky told Grace and Heather that he was fine.

Having checked to make sure this was true, Grace scolded him and told him not to be so impulsive

anymore.

Ricky gladly accepted Grace's admonishments. He could feel that Grace did care about him.

Ricky stood up and went to Lewis' room.

In the span of several days' rest, Lewis had already recovered quite well. However, because of the

deep fractures on his legs and arms, it was likely that Lewis would have to bid farewell to the path of

cultivation.

Lewis sighed, but the dominant thing in his mind was the shock that Ricky could have killed Dustin for

him.

They sat on Lewis' bed, talking. Ricky found out that Lewis' parents were preparing to take him home

from the Snow Sect.

"Ricky, my good friend, although I am almost totally disabled now, I will never regret coming to train in

the Snow Sect... Because I met you!" Lewis said, his eyes sparkling with tears.

"Lewis, I won't give up. I will find a way to heal your arms and legs," Ricky promised, just as overcome

with grief as his good friend.

As a warrior of martial arts, Ricky knew a lot of special ways and rare medicines which could help

warriors regrow bones and even rehabilitate limbs, but at this moment he was not qualified to find them

yet.

But Ricky swore he would find them for Lewis.

"Ha-ha, bro, I'm glad that you would do that for me, but I'm better off declining your offer," Lewis smiled.

"Somehow, I am excited to live like normal people in the future."

However, Ricky still could feel the deep desire to continue martial arts reflected in Lewis' eyes.

......

After spending half the way with Ricky, Lewis' family came to bring him home.

Ricky and Vivian came with them a long ways, reluctant to return to the Snow Sect until they had seen

their friend off a long distance away.

......

"Master, do you know what special ways or medicines can regrow broken bones?" Ricky asked Grace

once he returned to the courtyard.

"You're asking this question for Lewis, aren't you?" Grace asked.

"Yes. If only I hadn't killed Luther, Lewis wouldn't be in the state!" Ricky said sadly. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Our Snow Sect also has special ways and medicines that can regrow bones, but you must have

figured out that the price won't be small. They cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins or millions

of silver coins." Grace told him, "Even I cannot afford that price, much less you. If you truly want to help

your friend, the best and really the only way is to study cultivation methods dutifully, because the more

powerful you are, the richer you become."

"Master, I understand!" Ricky nodded vigorously, his mind racing.

He knew he couldn't fulfill his promise to Lewis right away.

He was willing to practice, like Grace had advised him. As long as he was strong and determined, silver

coins and gold coins would be easy to get.

Although Ricky reached the highest level of the eighth grade of Skin Refinement, he wouldn't

breakthrough again right away. He knew that because the breakthrough would be made by the

Devouring Power of the Devouring Zone, he needed to lay a solid foundation to ensure that it wouldn't

hamper his future training in martial arts.

With this, Ricky decided to practice and master the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula and Devouring

Skill.

For the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, he was confident that he could reach the second degree

only by refining his body with the frosty power. By reaching the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body

Refining Formula, he would become virtually unbeatable in the Outer Competition.

Ricky decided to consult Grace. "Master... What extent of the frosty power should be reached in order

to break through and reach the Second Degree of Nine-degree Body Refining Formula?"

"Centennial Magic Ice!" Grace replied.

"The Centennial Magic Ice is hidden away in frozen, icy places up on the snow mountains. I know

some places where you can start looking for it."

"Well, I suppose it is time to head for the snow mountains once again!" Ricky said.

But, before his departure, he needed to select a frosty-natured cultivation method which would

enhance his cultivation of the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula.
