CHAPTER 562 GOLDEN LIGHT STRIKE VERSUS SCORCHING GOLDEN FIST

Snap!

As soon as the power of Garrett's Golden Enlightenment rushed out, a shattering sound rang out all

around them. The ground he was standing on had cracked between his feet when he stomped.

At the same moment, Garrett appeared in front of Soar abruptly. Almost the same second as that, he

threw out a fast, fierce punch that glowed with golden light. Everything happened so fast. Within a split

second, the punch could hit him and kill him. If Soar couldn't avoid it in a timely manner, his head would

be smashed into pieces. The onlookers were holding their breath and waiting anxiously to see how the

situation would unfold itself.

At that particular moment, another fist surrounded by golden light emerged. Along with a deafening

sound as if two weapons were colliding with each other ferociously, Garrett's fist attack was blocked by

the newly emerged fist.

Then, the two bodies that were filled with golden light both stepped slightly back and away from each

other.

"This is your second fight in a row. This battle is becoming difficult for you, so let me try," a low voice

said to Soar in that moment. The low voice came from Ricky. He and Soar represented the Saber Hall

at that day's competition. Ricky wanted to protect the Saber Hall, so he had been watching Soar's

competition closely.

The moment he felt that Soar was in danger, he had already launched an attack to protect him.

Meanwhile, he was worried that if Soar wanted to defeat Garrett or maybe ended the battle in a tie, he

would have no choice but to burst out the blood power of a Great Dragon and the power of the Heaven

Melting Pagoda. If that happened, the cost would be too high. Soar's identity as a Great Dragon was

supposed to be kept top secret. Exposing such a secret would only get him into much more serious

trouble. Previously, he even lied and said that his name was Ridge in order to keep his identity a

secret.

Seeing Ricky stand up for him, Soar decided not to refuse his help. Without any hesitation, he returned

to his seat on the high platform. He couldn't be more aware of the reason that Ricky had needed to

interrupt the battle between him and Garrett. Keyon had also been completely defeated by him and his

purpose had been realized. He had great confidence that Ricky could take care of the remaining

business at hand.

"Who is this young man?" Seeing how Ricky had resisted Garrett's attack, the warriors around were

shocked by the events in front of them once more.

"Judging from the momentum that this young man has, his power does not seem to be inferior to

Garrett's. How did the Saber Hall manage to find two young geniuses with such impressive power?"

"It's so strange. I feel like this young man's realm is inferior to Ridge's, so how come his power has

turned out to be more powerful than Ridge's?"

"I don't think you're right about that. Do you think that he is also a peerless genius like Jasper or an ace

genius like Ricky? Do you think that he could really challenge those who have higher levels of strength

than him? I am telling you, it's just impossible. He must have used a way to hide his real strength.

There are many ways to hide a warrior's real strength, after all. Anyway, there can't be that many

geniuses in this world."

"Well, I didn't expect that the Saber Hall would have an ace in the hole like you," Garrett said lightly. He

didn't immediately attack Ricky. He instead looked him up and down.

At the same time, one could see that Garrett's eyes grew heavy and serious. Somehow, he had a

strong hunch that Ricky was not as simple as he looked. He could tell that Ricky would be a very strong

opponent.

After they had already clashed against each other's attacks, the intense feeling that Ricky was

dangerous strengthened in his heart.

Similar to Garrett, Ricky's eyes also became more serious. Due to the power of his three zones, Ricky

detected that the power that Garrett had was likely to be infinitely close to a second-class middle

spiritual king.

Ricky had no exact measure of his own strength at that moment. Since the life-and-death battle he had

with Ray, he had never really had a chance to fight with another enemy.

Before the two warriors started their fight, the audience on the high platform of the Sword Hall had a

discussion about them. "Luna, what do you think of the strength of these two warriors that are about to

fight?" Nora, the leader of the Sword Hall, asked Luna slowly with a grave expression on her face.

Luna, a female disciple from the Apsara Palace, had been invited by the Sword Hall to join the

competition and fight for the right to use the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth. It was a very rare

treasure that could be used to improve both a warrior's cultivation base and his spiritual weapon's

power. Nora had been quite sure that the Sword Hall would win the competition and get that rare

treasure. Nevertheless, it never crossed her mind that the Spear Hall had also invited two geniuses like

Keyon and Garrett, while the Saber Hall had the firm support of two very mysterious young geniuses as

well.

After hearing Nora's inquiry, Luna thought about it for a while and replied honestly, "Nora, to tell you the

truth, I have no confidence in defeating those two young men. Also, I think that the young man from the

Saber Hall is even more unpredictable and unfathomable."

After a pause, she added grimly, "However, since I have accepted your invitation, I will try my best in

the competition."

Hearing Luna's reply, Nora murmured back to her, "So, the younger man from the Saber Hall is even

more mysterious." She really believed what Luna had told her. The geniuses had outstanding power

that gave them a leg up that common people didn't have.

"Luna, just try your best, but don't push yourself too hard. If we fail this time, we still have more

chances in the future," Nora said gently. She valued a genius like Luna, and didn't want her to be hurt

needlessly in a competition. After all, the Quintessence of Heaven and Earth would appear once every

five years.

"It's no problem, Nora! Don't worry about me. This is just a competition, not a life-and-death battle.

After they finish fighting, I'll go and have a try at it too," Luna said. She was not worried about her

safety. Instead, she was more eager to have a fight with Garrett or Ricky. After the discussion, they

soon turned their attention back toward the two warriors.

"The Spear Hall is not so bad. I thought that I didn't have to join the competition this time.

Unexpectedly, a famous warrior like you has appeared though," Ricky said with a smile as he heard

what Garrett had said before.

"What's your name?" Garrett asked lightly.

"I'm Russell Feng. I came to the Eastern Land to better my cultivation. Later, I met the leader of the

Saber Hall, and he invited us to support him in this competition," Ricky replied in a low voice. He lied

about his name because he wanted to keep a low profile. He and Soar had secretly come there to join

the competition. If the news that he was there was learned by his enemies, he would be chased by

them and would be in great danger. On his path of martial arts, Ricky had paid a high price—he was

always being hunted down by his enemies.

"If you are pleased, our Garuda tribe welcomes you both. You will receive rewards from us that are no

less than those that the Saber Hall has offered to you," Garrett said with great sincerity.

"Let's talk about that later. Now that we have received our payment from the Saber Hall, we have to

finish our task first. I'm afraid that you wouldn't even believe us about it otherwise, right?" Ricky

responded with a slight smile.

"You're refusing my offer?! That's a pity. Because if you insist on representing the Saber Hall, you stand

no chance of winning at all," Garrett said, his face brimming with confidence.

"It's still too early to jump to conclusion now, isn't it? The final result only depends on my strength, but

also on your strength, right?" Ricky rebutted with a laugh.

"Let's fight and see whose Golden Enlightenment is better," Garrett responded indifferently, revealing

his great self-confidence and murderous intent.

Buzz! Buzz! Garrett's words had hardly fallen from his mouth when the momentum and enlightening

power of the two men instantly burst out and rose to their peak. The energy formed their respective

Ultimate Domains, which would soon collide with each other. That abrupt scene generated another

wave of heated discussion among the audience.

"These two warriors have both cultivated the Golden Enlightenment with strong attacking power. I'm

really curious as to who will win in the end!"

"I bet that Garrett will win. I heard that not a single warrior whose cultivation base was at the same level

with him could defeat him before because of his power of Golden Enlightenment."

"Exactly! Although Garrett doesn't cultivate dual powers like Keyon, his Ultimate Domain of golden

power is far superior to most other young warriors in his generation."

"I think that it's still hard to say. Russell and Ridge are mysterious, and we know nothing about their

backgrounds yet. We didn't think highly of Ridge at all before, but we all saw what happened when he

fought, right? Keyon was completely defeated by Ridge. I guess that Russell's strength must be

extremely formidable too."

"I think that you're right! My instincts tell me that Russell is quite an unfathomable warrior!"

"I guess you can say that this match—since it's between those two warriors who both cultivate the

Golden Enlightenment—is going to be very fierce." The discussion soon subsided, and the crowd

turned back around to watch the match.

"Let me test your strength!" Garrett bellowed sternly the moment the Ultimate Domains of their Golden This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Enlightenment collided with each other. Then, the endless golden light emerged from behind his back.

"Golden Light Slash!" Garrett roared furiously.

In the next second, the golden light blended with Golden Enlightenment and instantly condensed into a

golden saber in his hand. He then flung it violently toward Ricky.

"I'm going to warn you— you will never manage to beat me with such simple tricks," Ricky sneered

coldly.

Buzz! Buzz! Instantly, Ricky's Massacring Runes burst out from his body. They blended with his

Massacring Enlightenment while five sun-like light balls were glittering brightly behind his back.

"Massacring Power—Scorching Golden Fist!" Ricky roared furiously as he attacked.

At the same time, his right fist instantly merged with the five light balls. Then, his attack slammed

towards Garrett's attack.

Bang! The next moment, the Golden Light Strike and Scorching Golden Fist clashed against each other

violently.
