CHAPTER 474 THE TWO PEERLESS GENIUSES FINALLY CROSSED PATHS

"Madeline, please listen to me carefully. Now that Ricky has chosen the spiritual king battlefield, you

have to go there as well. You must personally protect him. We have sent out our men but I can only

trust you. You're the only one that can do this task," Scar immediately said to Madeline when he saw

that the two airships were about to take off.

"Yes, I will do it!" Madeline nodded her head confidently without any hesitation.

If her boss had asked her to protect this young man in the past, she would definitely be reluctant to do

it. But she had a different opinion about Ricky. She knew that he was a peerless genius. That was why

she immediately agreed when she heard her Scar's request. She was very happy to have this chance

to be able to protect a peerless genius.

"But remember this, you have to call him young master!" Scar gave her one last reminder. In fact, he

did not despise Ricky anymore after he was made aware of Ricky's true strength and potential.

"Yes, I got it!" Madeline nodded her head once again.

The next moment, she jumped onto the dais where Ricky was standing on.

Ricky, on the other hand, quickly noticed the woman who came at the last second before the airship

would leave the ground. He then looked at her from head to toe.

From his perspective, she looked a little bit like Grace. She had exquisite and defined facial features

that made her look quite a heroine. She didn't have any expression on her face except tranquility. 'She

must have a strong will, ' Ricky commended secretly.

"Do you work for Scar?" Ricky asked her through telepathy. Meanwhile, he activated his power

originating from his zones to test this woman's strength. It turned out that she was at least a first-class

lower spiritual king.

"Yes, young master," Madeline promptly responded to his question.

"Young master?" Ricky couldn't believe what he just heard. He laughed a little before he continued,

"Well, that is very considerate of Scar to think of such an address." He thought for a while and with a

smile, said, "Since you work for Scar, you don't need to be so formal and distant by calling me young

master. Just call me Ricky."

"Okay, Ricky it is!" Seeing how politely and friendly he looked at her, Madeline immediately changed

her demeanor towards him.

"How many people do you have here? Are you by yourself?" Ricky asked again.

"The hall leader sent out almost every man available right now. There are twenty-one people here,

including me," she replied at once.

"There are also twenty people on the other airship. They were supposed to protect you. But it seems

like they wouldn't have much to do."

Ricky laughed inside as he thought, 'Scar is really worried about me so much!' However, he understood

why Scar did this. Scar was a servant to him now and his priority was to keep him safe. No wonder he

sent out all of his men.

'Doris was really being wise when she left the bonding contract between me and him. Honestly, this is

such a huge help to me, ' Ricky thought.

"So, Ricky, should I contact the other twenty men right now?" Madeline proposed at that point in time.

"Not yet. Just leave them be. They will be very useful when we enter the battlefield," Ricky told her. His

brain had started functioning really quickly, trying to come up with a plan on how to make the most out

of Scar's men.

'Scar is quite powerful! He has so many young innate warriors as his subordinates, ' Ricky pondered

deeply within himself.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly, loud crashes were heard from where they were standing. Right at that time, the two flying

middle-sized airships suddenly enlarged and turned into two super airships.

"Those who want to fight in the demi-immortal battlefield, please get on the left airship. Those who

want to fight in the spiritual king battlefield, please get on the right one," the Skyward Sword Spiritual

King announced.

After everything was settled, the two giant airships took off. Before long, they disappeared into the

distance. They were heading for the deeper side of the Oriental Mountains where the Oriental College

was located at.

Their journey was quite peaceful and serene. They didn't encounter any problems at all.

About one hour later, the airships stopped. They finally arrived at their destination—the periphery of the

Oriental College.

Standing on the airships which were floating high above in the air, everyone took their time to take in

their surroundings. It was undeniable that they could feel the powerful arrays that were filling the space

nearby. Those were actually the periphery arrays deployed there by the Oriental College.

There were numerous large palaces and buildings, as well as giant squares resting on those

mountains. From where they were standing, it looked magnificent.

"We have arrived at the periphery of the Oriental College. But you are not allowed to enter yet because

you have not successfully passed the test," the Skyward Sword Spiritual King said. He was smiling as

he looked at everyone who was looking around with curious eyes.

"The Oriental College!" all the candidates, including Ricky, murmured as they emitted the combat

intentions around them.

Right at that time, several shadows flew towards them. Right at the front was a handsome young man

who was wearing radiant white clothes. He was the leader of the group.

He looked quite calm and serene. However, his momentum was extremely suffocating and

suppressing, and it mixed with his killing intention. One would shiver immediately the moment they felt

it. He was no doubt carrying catastrophic power within him.

That was to say, almost all the geniuses would be cast into shadow as long as he showed up.

"I did not expect that he would come here," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said. For some

reason, he was smiling when he saw the young man. There was undeniable joy in his old eyes.

Apparently, he liked the said young man very much.

"He was probably informed that the recruitment competition would be held right here at this time," the

two spiritual kings said. They smiled as well and nodded in approval. Truth be told, they liked that

young man too.

Soon enough, the young man and his entourage landed on the airship. "Masters, I've heard that you

will be hosting the competition by yourselves. At first, I didn't believe that news. But now that I'm seeing

you right here, I'm so glad to confirm that it's true!" the young man said with a wide smile on his face.

The Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor was the first one to react when he laughed shortly. Then, he stated,

"I'm afraid you're not here for us. You know something, don't you? If I guess right, a little bird on the

airship told you everything!" His words sounded sarcastic but he was actually smiling as he did so.

"You know me so well, Deputy Dean," the young man said awkwardly while he lightly rubbed his nose.

"Look at that young man! He is the first inner disciple of the Oriental College—Jasper Zhang!" someone

screamed in surprise when he finally recognized who that young man was. At that moment, more and

more warriors recognized the man. Then, they started to whisper to each other and soon enough, the

whole crowd became excited.

"What? Jasper Zhang? The peerless genius of the Oriental College?" The series of whispers continued

throughout the crowd.

Almost everyone in the entirety of the Oriental Realm knew the name, Jasper Zhang.

It was the name of a peerless genius —the most powerful and talented genius in the Oriental Realm. He

was even probably the strongest genius in the whole Eastern Land!

By all means, another peerless genius appeared in time. So Jasper Zhang was not the only peerless

genius anymore.

'Jasper Zhang? A peerless genius?' Ricky pondered. He squinted his eyes as he sized Jasper Zhang

from head to toe. He knew that that man was probably the only warrior who could be a match for him.

Ricky was a peerless genius now and he knew that only through fighting against another peerless

genius could he make further progress.

'They have a peerless genius as a disciple. Then, there must be a lot of stronger warriors as elders or

teachers in the Oriental College! I'm sure that this place will not disappoint me!' Ricky wondered with a

little excitement in his heart.

While Ricky continued to process the knowledge that he had just heard, Jasper Zhang looked at him

directly. In Jasper Zhang's mind, he felt that the young man in front of him was very special among all

those candidates. Jasper Zhang's felt that he was also a very talented genius like himself.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Or it could be said that a peerless genius would always attract another peerless genius because of

their similar momentums.

In the blink of an eye, Jasper Zhang dashed in front of Ricky. With a smile on his face, he said, "If my

guess serves me right, you must be the peerless genius everyone is talking about!"

Uncontrollably, Jasper Zhang released his battle intention. As if by instinct, he wanted to battle against

Ricky. However, he tried really hard to suppress such intention. He was actually afraid that he might kill

Ricky. In Jasper's mind, Ricky was still too weak to battle against him despite the fact that both of them

were peerless geniuses.

At that point in time, everyone locked their eyes on the two young men. They could already imagine

what it would be like if they fought against each other. It must be a really wonderful and ferocious

battle.

'It seems that this college will become very lively soon. I like that! Hopefully, they will not only become

enemies, but become friends as well!' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor thought to himself

while he stared at the two young men in front of him. He actually liked Ricky and hoped that Ricky and

Jasper would become good friends. That way, both of them could make progress and enhance

themselves together, without being shaded by dark thoughts.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ricky Nan," Ricky introduced himself in a decent manner. He

recognized that Jasper Zhang wanted to have a fight with him. But Ricky couldn't find it in himself to

find faults with the man in front of him. Ricky thought that it would be the best for him to behave politely

at that moment.
