Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 346 Daydreaming

"There are thirty-five names here. It would seem that it's time for me to inscribe mine here, too. I'll be the one,” Ricky whispered.

"Yes. To be a Royal Sky Guard, you need to successfully go through the thirty-six stairs and inscribe your name on the golden plaque. If you fail, you won't be admitted, and you'll have to leave. Of course, you have the option to leave now," Tyson said.

"In the past, I might have already quit. But now, I won't step back. Since you and Kristen made it, you guys set a good example for me. I want to do my best and join you," Ricky said with a genuine smile.

Hearing this, Tyson scornfully shook his head. "Hey, you can't fool me with your flattery. I know you're after the handsome rewards.”

"Tyson, don't say that... that's too discouraging,”

Ricky put on a sad face.

"Come on! I know you very well. I've seen through all your tricks. You can't try anything on me. Let's stop here. You'd better put all your effort into the test and figure out how to get past the stairs,” Tyson said, ignoring Ricky's poor acting.

"Well then, I guess it won't be an easy task, right?"

Ricky asked calmly.

"Yes. The other Royal Sky Guards will spare no effort in obstructing you as you go all-out,” Tyson said.

"How many guards are there?"

"Three in total. We Royal Sky Guards could volunteer to stand guard. If there are no volunteers, our Chief will choose three representatives herself. Of course, Kristen and I are excluded because of our relationship with you."

"I understand. I'm afraid that Maxine will take advantage of that and give me a hard time.”

"You're right. For all I know, Maxine had asked her partner, Lucas, to be one of the three guards. Lucas ranked second among us Royal Sky Guards. He's not easy to deal with.

If everything goes well, I would guess he had already broken through the demi-immortal," Tyson guessed.

"Well then, I hope he won't disappoint me," Ricky said in return. "Come on, you conceited guy," Tyson couldn't help but shake his head at the response and complain.

He then continued, "I have good news for you. One of Kristen's followers is among the three. He won't let you suffer, at least.

Besides the two, another guy would be appointed by the Chief. I believe you would do well, no matter who the opponents are, but you need to be wary of Lucas and the one the Chief appoints— they will be your strongest opponents.”

"I get it. That's very nice of Kristen,” Ricky said with a smile.

Suddenly, a dozen figures appeared. The Chief of the Sky Manor seemed to be the oldest, while the rest seemed younger—they were all Royal Sky Guards.

Unsurprisingly, Maxine was among them. While glaring harshly at Ricky, she whispered to a handsome young man who stood beside her. After which, the man cast a scornful glance on Ricky. 'He looks like a dangerous guy, * Ricky thought.

The other Royal Sky Guards had their eyes fixed on him, not only because he was the last Royal Sky Guard, but because they heard that he was in conflict with Maxine.

Needless to say, as Maxine's good friend, Lucas wouldn't simply let this newbie get off easy. Everyone was curious as to what was about to unfold. After all, Ricky was also a strong fighter. “Would he be a match for three Royal Sky Guards? Let's wait and see!” they all thought.

"This is Russell, the thirty-sixth Royal Sky Guard. You all must be familiar with the rules here. Firstly, I need one man to guard the twelfth stair. Any volunteers?” the Chief of the Sky Manor asked:

"Let me be the one!" A strong, tanned, young man stepped forward. Without waiting another second, he jumped onto the twelfth stair.

"I'm Miles. Come on, Russell. Compete with me!"

Cupping his hands, he saluted

"That's Miles, an excellent warrior at the peak of the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement. He is far more powerful than Maxine. Luckily, he's one of Kristen's followers. Don't be too worried. Kristen asked me to tell him to take it easy on you. You can take it easy, too,” Tyson whispered to Ricky. "Okay. Thanks!" With a nod, Ricky jumped onto the twelfth stair as well.

"Russell, this will be the first test for you, being a Royal Sky Guard. If you win, you will be awarded a cultivation method of the intermediate stage of the Black Level and proceed to the next test. If you fail, you will have to leave the Sky Manor," the Chief of the Sky Manor arrived on the top of the stairs and explained.

"A cultivation method of the intermediate stage of the Black Level? Well... not bad,” Ricky murmured to himself.

Now, it was time for him and Miles to prepare themselves.

His opponent was at the peak of the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement. Even though he was far more powerful than Maxine, Ricky could beat him rather easily. But because he had to face two other powerful fighters later on, he decided to follow Tyson and Kristen's advice to save his strength.

Bang! Balling his fingers in a fist, Ricky punched Miles with the intimidating power of the peak of the ninth grade of Bone Reinforcement. Although he hadn't reached the peak of the grade quite yet, he had enough skill to skip levels and use strength of such caliber.

"What a despicable guy! He's concealing his power. He's been pretending to be at the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement, but he's had this power all along! Shame on him! He's not qualified to join us!" Maxine exclaimed, infuriated with Ricky.

Bang!

Bang! Within a short period, they had already fought several rounds.

Much to Ricky's surprise, Miles wasn't behaving as Tyson said he would. While Ricky thought that Miles would go easy on him, the latter's attack was extremely powerful and fatal. It almost seemed like Miles managed to target every Achilles’ heel on Ricky's body, sparing no effort in defeating him. When Ricky signaled Tyson, the latter merely threw up his hands in resignation—he didn't know why Miles was behaving rather cruelly, either.

"How dare you be so distracted during a fight! You must truly be courting death!" Miles proclaimed coldly. "Admit it. You're no match for me. You want to fight shoulder to shoulder with Kristen? Ha! Stop daydreaming.”

With these words, it suddenly became clear why Miles was being particularly harsh and aggressive. His words were full of jealousy—Miles had fallen for Kristen. It was no wonder that he ignored Tyson's words and went all-out on Ricky.

The thought that Kristen would be offended didn't even occur to Miles. All he thought was, “If I defeat this guy, she'll definitely fall in love with me. Women love strong men, after all.’

"It's you who should quit daydreaming! Kristen won't be with someone who breaks his promises so easily!”

So in his mind, Ricky decided to teach him a lesson.

Without wasting time talking nonsense, Ricky gathered all his power into his right fist and charged toward Miles with the Fire Cloud Fist.

"The second level of Fire Cloud Fist!" Ricky shouted.

Seeing that Ricky was ignoring him and continued to launch a stronger attack, Miles turned infuriated and began roaring. "I'll defeat you!"

Motivating the earthy yellow spiritual energy hidden inside his body, he gathered all the energy in his right arm, forming some sort of thick armor. With that, he balled his hand into a fist and threw Ricky a hard punch.

"Full Arm Boxing! I'm going to beat you to death!" Miles roared again.
