Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 1218 The Selection Of The Holy Son

Ashley was a proud girl. However, she would still compare herself to gorgeous girls whenever she

came across them. She didn't mean to, but she would sometimes become insecure.

She secretly sized up Tina and Amelia, and she felt that they would overshadow her and take her place

as the most coveted female in the wood branch. The aura that Tina exuded made her eye-catching.

Ashley knew she couldn't compete with that.

She felt white-hot jealousy bubbling in the pit of her stomach.

Ashley couldn't help but take it out on Ricky. She cast an angry glance at him. "I don't get it. Why would

my master think so highly of a womanizer like you?"

"Ha-ha! That's none of your business. Don't tell me that you don't even have extra rooms?" Ricky

responded.

"Humph! Being with you is such torture," Ashely said, rolling her eyes at Ricky. "You live on that

mountain. Go find it yourselves."

With that, Ashley immediately took off.

"Ricky, now that you have become a disciple of the Five-element Sect,

when will you break off your engagement with Ashley?" Tina asked, after having chosen a room.

She was afraid that Ashley would fall in love with Ricky one day. After all, Ricky was quite the catch.

They just weren't seeing eye-to-eye now because of a small misunderstanding.

Once they patched things up, Tina feared that Ashley might fall for him.

"Ha! You have nothing to worry about. That woman hates my guts now. Once the selection for the holy

son is over, I will break off our engagement," Ricky said, reassuring her.

"That's great!" Tina replied, smiling brightly.

"Evil Mandragora has been practicing in seclusion in the hopes of making some progress. Hannah has

been picking up what Holy Three-Saber has been teaching her. She is the daughter of a deity. I wonder

how strong she will become after she masters the inheritance of her father," Ricky said.

"Perhaps she will reach the Sage Level. After all, her father is a deity. If she hadn't been reborn, she

would already be at the Divine Level," the Dragon Intent Grass replied.

"What? The Sage Level? That's so unfair! I mean, I kind of admire her," Ricky exclaimed. He suddenly

felt very envious.

"Stop complaining. If one of your parents were at the Divine Level, the same thing would happen to

you," the Dragon Intent Grass said.

Over the next few days, Ricky focused on his meditation.

The race to select the holy son was just round the corner. The entire wood branch was thrilled about

the upcoming selection.

There was another promising candidate in the race—Ricky.

Recently, many of the disciples had looked into his background. They learned a lot about his life. For

example, they found out that Ricky had possessed several mutants and cultivated the chaotic power.

They also learned that he was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor.

Ricky had become the talk of the town. Everyone believed that he was the most promising competitor

for the selection of the holy son.

Defeating Guillermo had earned him such a stellar reputation.

However, while some disciples were excited, others were upset. Those who were frustrated were

actually very powerful and talented. They were even stronger than the three most promising

candidates. However, they were not qualified to join the race because they were over a hundred years

old.

According to the competition rules, the competitors must be below one hundred years old. There was

nothing they could do. After all, none of them would dare break the rules.

Ricky had heard the others talking about him. However, he didn't pay attention to any of it. All he cared

about was improving his strength. He still had a lot of unfinished business to attend to. If he wanted to

get everything done, he needed to be strong.

Reputation meant nothing to warriors. Strength mattered the most.

If it weren't for the holy son's rights, he wouldn't have signed up to be part of the selection.

The day for the selection of the holy son finally came. The competition was hosted by two demi-saint

elders. The race had four parts, and there were over forty participants.

However, after several hours passed, only four contestants remained. They were Ricky, Hayes,

Guillermo and Mordechai.

It wasn't until then that Ricky finally met Hayes and Mordechai in the flesh.

Hayes looked like a dapper, handsome gentleman in his golden robe. Girls were going to swoon over

him.

Mordechai was a bulky man. He was clad in old, yellow armor, and he released overwhelming aura.

He looked rough around the edges.

Thanks to his six zones, Ricky could tell that Mordechai was far stronger than both Hayes and

Guillermo.

'He is a formidable foe!' Ricky remarked inwardly. He observed Mordechai closely. 'I have a feeling that

he is more talented than Ashley.'

At the same time, Hayes and Mordechai sized Ricky up.

They also spoke to one other through telepathy.

A moments later, Guillermo sent a message to Ricky.

"Ricky, I will defeat you this time. Remember what you said. If you lose, you have to leave Ashley

alone," he said to Ricky telepathically.

"Guillermo, I'm going to say to you the same thing that I said to you before. Beat me if you can," Ricky

responded, a sly smile on his face.

Under the arrangement of the two demi-saints, the competitors were split into two groups.

They would battle one another. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Guillermo was up against Mordechai, while Ricky was going to battle Hayes.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect that my opponent would be you. To be honest, you're the last one I

want to fight against," Hayes said to Ricky through telepathy.

"Really? Why?" Ricky asked.

"Rumor has it that you not only cultivate the chaotic power but you were also once an incredible demi-

spiritual emperor. No one would dare go up against you," Hayes replied.

"However... Ricky, are those rumors true?"

"Ha-ha! You should just give up now!" Ricky said jokingly.

"Ha-ha! You must be kidding," Hayes said, laughing. "I must witness what an incredible demi-spiritual

emperor is capable of. Even if I lose, it's worth a shot!"

When the duo spoke to each other, Mordechai and Guillermo were already ready to fight. They exuded

the strong auras containing the wood element. It was as if they were in a forest.

"Guillermo!" Mordechai greeted. He cupped his hands, a gesture of courtesy before battle.

"Mordechai, ever since you have already made a name for yourself, I have never fought against you.

Rumor has it that no one knows your real strength. I'd like to see just how far you can go," Guillermo

responded, saluting back. His spirits seemed high.

He was raring to go.

He was eager to defeat Mordechai and rid himself of the shame that Ricky brought upon him.

Of course, his ultimate goal was to become the holy son. Only when he became the holy son would he

get closer to Ashley.

"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time," Mordechai replied, exuding great fighting spirit.

In the next second, the pair unleashed all of their power.

Wood dragons appeared and growled behind them. Then, the dragons dashed forward and collided

with one another. With that, Guillermo and Mordechai charged at each other.
