Chapter 1323 The Source Of The Wind

A ferocious look flashed through Ricky's eyes, as he activated his physical strength to fight against the
three kinds of powers. He knew that this fight would depend on his pure physique, will, and
persistence.

It was dangerous indeed, but Ricky was not afraid to face them head-on.

Honestly, he kind of enjoyed these moments, as they allowed him to grow stronger and better. It was
through fights like this that he could attain what he wanted.

The blood-colored wind blades didn't relent with their attacks, continuously attacking him more than
eight times. Ricky was now covered in his own blood. Wounds peppered his body from front to back,
and blood sluggishly dripped from his veins.

Despite being worse for wear, he was overcome with excitement.

He knew that this encounter would force his physical body to become stronger and that was what he
wanted.

Once Ricky escaped from the place, his strength returned at once, and he immediately healed his
injuries with his life power. He could easily recover to his peak strength, but he was afraid of exposing
his identity if he did this too obviously.

"It looks like the blood-colored wind helped him grow stronger," Laura noted pensively as she studied
Ricky intently.

It took half a day before Ricky fully recovered. When he deemed himself well enough, he turned back
to the others and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's okay. You saved our lives. We don't mind waiting for you," answered Laura with a sincere smile.



After that, Ricky handed Laura one of the tokens he retrieved.

"Here you go! I found two tokens, but I hope you won't mind me keeping one for myself," he said
uncertainly.

"You're too generous, Soar. You risked your life for these tokens, so we can't just take the tokens from
you. Besides, if it weren't for your help, we would not have made it out of that place alive. You can keep
them," Laura protested as she fervently shook her head, pushing the token back towards Ricky.

"It's fine. I only needed one anyway, and I don't have anyone else to give this to. I also don't have any
intention of trading the token for other stuff, so you can just have it. I believe that it was fate that
brought us together today. Just take it and consider it as a gift from a friend.

If you continue refusing it, I'm going to think that you don't want to befriend me because I'm just a kid,
or maybe I'm not good enough to be friends with geniuses like you!" Ricky insisted with a friendly smile.

"Ha-ha! I don't think we can call ourselves geniuses in front of you," retorted Laura, laughing lightly.
"But, I'm serious. We don't have the right to get that token. If you don't want it, just give it to Audrey!"

At this point, Audrey chimed in to persuade Laura as well, saying, "Just take it, Laura! I only said I
wanted my share in the token because I wanted to give it to him."

"Okay, okay. Thanks for this, Soar!" Seeing as both of them wanted her to have it, she finally gave in
and accepted the token.

Once everything had been settled, Ricky opted to linger around the area instead of leaving.

His sharp gaze roamed around the area filled with blood-colored wind as if he was looking for
something. He must have spotted what he was searching for, as an excited smirk suddenly pulled at
the corner of his lips.



Audrey noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What are you planning?"

Of course, Laura and her companions heard her as well, and they all sent curious glances towards
Ricky.

'What else is there that is making him excited?' Laura couldn't help but wonder as she shifted her gaze
from Ricky to the center of the blood-colored wind.

As her eyes roamed over the otherwise empty area, an idea abruptly popped into her mind, and her
wide eyes brightened in astonishment.

"I'm going to take something from that place," Ricky replied with a smirk.

Before he even stopped talking, he activated the eternal power. The eternal power rose, lit up with a
golden purple hue and formed a massive hand above his head.

"Go, my hand!" Ricky shouted at the top of his lungs.

At once, the golden purple hand flew towards the center of the hurricane-like wind.

Of course, the blood-colored wind tried to stop the hand's attack, but the wind wasn't strong enough, as
the golden-purple hand contained a massive amount of eternal power.

A few moments later, as the dust settled after the attack, the golden-purple hand slowly opened up. In
its palm was a square blood-colored stone that was emitting a crimson light.

"I knew it! He was targeting the Gory Wind Source!" Laura blurted out in shock when she saw what
happened. "His physical body must be exceedingly powerful that he could do this! I can't believe he
even managed to take it from the center of the blood-colored wind."

"Is this the Gory Wind Source? What can it do?" Ricky asked when he heard Laura's words.



Audrey, Helen, and the others also turned to look at Laura with curious gleams in their eyes. None of
them were familiar with the Gory Wind Source.

Ricky had initially spotted the blood-colored stone when he first collided with the blood-colored wind
blades. He didn't know what it was, but it had piqued his curiosity.

Once he had successfully resisted the blood-colored blades' attacks and cleansed his body of the three
powers that contaminated it, his body sensed another force in the blood-colored wind.

That force gave him an intense feeling of excitement and yearning as if he had to get it at all costs.

Therefore, as soon as he obtained the tokens, he located the Gory Wind Source and acquired it.

"The Gory Wind Source is considered to be the heart of this area. As you have seen, it is the source of
the strong wind over there. Only places filled with massacre aura could have a Gory Wind Source.

Since the massacre aura is overflowing here in the Corpse Lair, it naturally created the Gory Wind
Source.

Moreover, the Gory Wind Source's blood vitality is incredibly unique and potent. It can't improve
warriors' cultivation level but it can increase their physical strength.

That is why the Gory Wind Source is considered a priceless treasure for body refining warriors," Laura
lengthily explained.

"Wow... I didn't know it has such a great effect." Audrey and the others were also astonished by Laura's
words because this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.

"Does that mean this is a Treasure from Heaven and Earth?" asked Audrey out of curiosity.



"Yes, but it isn't hard to find. As far as I know, every area full of these winds within the Corpse Lair has
one," Laura replied lightly.

"That's impossible. If that were the case, we should have heard about it long before, right?" asked
Helen with a puzzled expression.

"It's not well known because not everyone can get their hands on the Gory Wind Source. In fact, a
warrior wouldn't be able to sense it if his physical strength had not reached a certain level.

Even a saint wouldn't be able to perceive it if his physical strength is not strong," expounded Laura.

"No one could get their hands on the Gory Wind Source in this area for thousands of years. The last
person to succeed was a genius with an exceedingly strong physical body tens of thousands of years
ago, and he was the only one that could sense the Gory Wind Source. Due to this difficulty, very few
people know about the Gory Wind Source. I only know about it because I happened to read it in an
ancient book in our library," she added.

Hearing all these, Laura and her companions could not help but look at Ricky in a different light. They
thought he was incredible earlier, and now, they looked up to him even more.

Their eyes had been opened to Ricky's true capabilities.

"So Soar was able to find it because he can feel the strong wind source in the blood-colored strong
wind area, right?" Audrey asked Laura immediately once she had processed most of Laura's words.

"Yes, of course he could," Laura answered affirmatively, nodding thoughtfully.

"That's great. We can ask Soar to help us collect more Gory Wind Sources!" exclaimed Audrey with
great excitement as a smile lit up her face.



She then turned to Ricky and mentally urged him to help. "Ricky, you'll help us, right? We can't do it
without you!"

"Of course, I'll help! Besides, I also want to get more Gory Wind Sources!" Ricky easily agreed.

"That's enough, Audrey. I don't think we should get those Gory Wind Sources," Laura immediately
protested, shaking her head lightly.

"Why?"

"I already mentioned that those Gory Wind Sources contain a special kind of blood vitality. That blood
vitality is very bloody and violent, so it needs an extremely strong body to withstand it. If we try to refine
the Gory Wind Source, we might end up losing control over it. After all, we don't have an incredibly
strong body.

Only those geniuses who can sense it can refine it. Of course, saints can also refine it, even if they
can't perceive it themselves. Their strong bodies can bear the massacring energy inside it without
losing control,"

explained Laura at length, hoping to dissuade Audrey from her idea.

"Oh! That sounds so scary! It sucks that only incredibly strong geniuses and saints can make use of it,"
Audrey and Helen whined in chorus as their faces darkened with doubt. It was too bad that they
couldn't take advantage of this new information.
