The legendary warrior

Chapter 35 Master Lambert

Grace felt justified after seeing these warriors' eyes filled with hatred and disrespect again.

To be honest, even Grace didn't truly believe that Ricky had seven hundred and three dots, but she knew he wouldn't cheat. After spending so many days with him, she was pretty sure about that.

Ricky gave Grace a reassuring look after seeing the worry in her eyes.

Then, Ricky looked at the master of Lion King Castle—Benson.

"Master Benson, could I ask you something?" Ricky said.

"Go ahead." Benson nodded his head.

"If I kill a beast at the first grade of Blood Purification, how many dots would I get?" Ricky asked.

"Killing a beast at that level, its blood will leave five hundred dots in the ironwood," Benson replied casually.

But something started to dawn on Benson, and he asked, "You mean you hunted a beast like that?"

"Yeah, I got five hundred dots by killing an Anaconda-tailed Tiger at the first grade of Blood Purification," Ricky answered calmly.

"Who does he think he is, anyway, talking big like that?" Heather said under her breath. She was close by, and heard him talking. After all, she knew exactly how that Anaconda-tailed Tiger was killed.

Like usual, Ricky's words caused a commotion.

"How could a guy like him kill a beast of Blood Purification?"

"Four warriors at the peak of the ninth grade of Skin Refinement couldn't take on that kind of creature. He is merely at the eighth grade of Skin Refinement. Him? No way."

No one believed that Ricky could kill a beast at the first grade of Blood Purification.

"Ha-ha, Master Benson, I think you should punish a liar like that. You should abolish his cultivation base and exile him from lands of Lion King Castle!" Jim laughed loudly.

"It's not up to you, Jim," Grace said coldly.

"Master Benson, I realize I'm no match for a beast at the first grade of Blood Purification. But if the creature is wounded, I might have a chance," Ricky said calmly.

'What a liar!' Heather mocked Ricky in her heart. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Explain," Benson said. He was intrigued, but still dubious.

"The Anaconda-tailed Tiger was mortally wounded when I found it. It could barely fight back. That's how I took it out," Ricky explained.

Warriors stopped mocking him, and started thinking about it. It sounded logical.

They cursed in rage in their hearts, "He must have the gift of good timing."

"How did that guy get so lucky?" Harald and Connie also cursed in their hearts.

"I see." Benson nodded after hearing Ricky's words. This sounded quite reasonable.

But Harald was not so willing to accept it. He said, "Okay, you said the creature was wounded? So prove it!"

"Yeah! Yes! Prove it!"

Those jealous warriors all agreed with Harald.

'Jealousy is a killer sometimes, ' Ricky said in his heart ferociously, looking at Harald and those other warriors who were green with envy. He could easily imagine him tearing though these supposed warriors. They never cut him any slack.

Meanwhile, Heather wanted to stand up for him and speak out on his behalf, but Ricky stopped her with a glance.

"If you don't believe me, let's go to the mountains and have a look," Ricky suggested.

"Seems we have no choice." Benson nodded his head.

"Not necessarily. He's telling the truth, and I can prove it." Just at that moment, a voice was heard clearly, echoing through the mountains. It was hoarse with age, but definitely otherworldly.

Then, an old man with long red hair and in plain grey clothes came out of the clouds, hovering above the mountains.

Behind the old man were flame wings composed of spiritual energy, holding the old man aloft.

"Grandpa!"

Heather said, excited at seeing the old man.

"Father! Why are you here?" Benson asked with respect and astonishment.

"Master Lambert!" All the powerful warriors of the Lion King Castle also greeted the old man respectfully. But their eyes were filled with confusion. Why did Master Lambert show himself now?

"Master Lambert of the Lion King Castle!" warriors all around said, incredulous at the sight.

"Didn't Master Lambert die decades ago?"

"Didn't he pass away?"

"That's right! We haven't heard anything about him for dozens of years."

"Didn't you see the wings of spiritual energy? That's the sign of demi-immortal. He didn't die. Instead, he became a demi-immortal!"

"Demi-immortal!" Gaping at Master Lambert high in the sky, all the warriors were both respectful and envious.

"That's demi-immortal, on another level from all other mortals. Being a demi-immortal means you've achieved near immortality. Much of your body ages at a slower rate and five hundred years will seem like five years to you."

Unlike innate spirits who could live for thousands of years, demi-immortals had shorter lives. But they were still long-lived.

"I came here to help this young man," the old man said, his voice echoing again. "I have been secretly observing him for a month. This young man did encounter a seriously wounded beast of Blood Purification.

If any of you still don't believe him, just ask me."

No one dared to say anything again. This shut both Harald and Connie up.

Even though they were core disciples of the Snow Sect, they dared not piss off a demi-immortal.

Each demi-immortal was the real overlord of the Snow Sect region. Except for those extremely rare innate spirits, who could compete with demi-immortals?

'Why did Master Lambert help me?' At this moment, Ricky was really confused. 'He said he was watching me secretly. Did he help me because I saved Heather?'

Nevertheless, Ricky said respectfully, "Thank you for sticking up for me, Master Lambert!"

"Lion King Castle is fair to everyone. There's no need for you to thank me," Master Lambert answered. He was quite polite to Ricky, which confused the other warriors.

'Damn! What the hell? How could this old man of Lion King Castle still be alive and even become a demi-immortal?' At this time, the ferocity in Harald's heart was more than what words could describe. He was truly pissed.

'And Jim is useless. He couldn't even do one thing right. I took him in as a disciple, but for nothing.'

Of course, Harald also knew that Jim and Leo probably wouldn't show themselves.

...

"Certainly. I also want to let people know that I'm still alive," Master Lambert said, looking at the clan masters of the major clans in the Lion King Castle.

The masters were disconcerted. And they couldn't stare down a demi-immortal easily.
