CHAPTER 477 A FEROCIOUS FIGHT

Buzz! Buzz! The moment they collided, the corridor created by Ricky's runes faded and turned into a

strong power, which in turn sank into his fist, making Ricky even more powerful.

The violent collision created an endless blast that rippled through the air, splitting things into pieces.

Those cracks in the air lingered for quite some time. That was just a Small World created by the

spiritual emperor, after all. So the forces of nature were not strong enough to have the air restored in a

short time.

Ricky's fist had grazed York's shield. The first layer collapsed the first and then the second layer.

Fortunately, the blow could not penetrate the third layer.

Boom!

Immediately, the strong auras of the two became turbulent like a flood. Both Ricky and York were

charging at each other like in mad rage, raising swirls of dust in the air.

In the blink of an eye, they met, so did their fists.

Bang! Bang! They stopped as their fists collided. The swirls of dust rose high into the sky like a spout

from the ground.

"You have lived up to your reputation as a peerless genius. The fact that you can challenge a spiritual

king as a demi-immortal is impressive, to be honest. If you were also an innate spirit, then I don't think

I'd stand a chance against you for even one bout," York claimed as he was surrounded by his earth

power.

"But you know what? You are being over-confident though you are a peerless genius. You can

challenge a spiritual king. But that doesn't mean that you can defeat him!"

"I'm being over-confident? I don't think so. I will prove it to you that a peerless genius can defeat a

spiritual king even though he is just a demi-immortal! You will soon know!" Ricky grinned in response.

Roar! Roar! After they finished their conversation, both of them roared out loud. They gathered all their

strength on their hands, preparing for the incoming collision using their bodies.

Outside the battlefield, the disciples of the Oriental College were surprised by what was going on inside

the Small World. "Indeed, he has confirmed his reputation as a peerless genius! Are we going to have

another peerless genius just like Jasper soon?" one of them exclaimed loud.

"Jasper came here a few moment ago, and he has already made an appointment with Ricky to have a

fight when the time comes," a fighter on the airship said.

"What? They've already seen each other? And they've made an appointment to fight?" another disciple

exclaimed in surprise.

Their faces showed surprise and confusion. "Did Ricky agree to the challenge? That sounds reckless

of him! Although he is also a peerless genius, he is still just a demi-immortal!

There is no way he could match up to Jasper!" someone commented. "Yes, he agreed! But they will

only fight when Ricky attains the level of an innate spirit."

"We can never know what a peerless genius is capable of. I'm sure Ricky will make great progress and

attain the rank of a spiritual king in a short time if everything goes smoothly with him. He came here not

long ago, but so far, he has been very impressive," a disciple explained. He looked quite

knowledgeable.

"Jasper broke through his current level as a demi-immortal and became a spiritual king in just one year.

This might also happen to Ricky, don't you think so? In my opinion, we could soon witness Ricky's

breakthrough as well. That would make an exciting fight between the two!"

The rest of the disciples nodded in agreement.

They did not feel jealous of Ricky. They already had Jasper as their first role model, and they had great

admiration for a peerless genius. They knew that as ordinary innate spirits, they would never be able to

compete in Ricky and Jasper's league. So instead of jealousy, they showed great respect.

If they let envy into their hearts, they would only stifle their own progress.

The result of hating on the success of others would be loss of focus, which would cost them dearly.

There was simply no use in them trying to compete against a peerless genius, whose power was way

out of their league.

"In that case, we will soon be privileged to have two peerless geniuses in our college!" someone

enthused.

"Ha-ha, exactly! I'm very curious about who would be stronger. I just hope that they would make

progress together. That way, our college will definitely enjoy a greater reputation."

"You are right. I'm hoping the same too. Hopefully they'll not get derailed by unhelpful rivalry.

The Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor nodded in satisfaction when he heard the disciples'

discussion. He was glad that they did not feel jealous that Ricky was a peerless genius, poised for

admission to the college. Needless to say, if a force or organization wanted to keep strong, there must

continuously invest in tapping raw talents.

Besides that, there should also be more average and slightly above average talents to develop, forming

the bulk of trainees.

'Probably it will all depend on the two peerless geniuses for the Oriental College to rise again and

compete with those forces in the Middle Land, ' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor thought.

Meanwhile, Ricky and York, who had been sparring now reached the limits of their strength. While at it,

they had generated intense amounts of energy, filling the air with a great deal of heat and steam.

Space cracked again. Crevices in the cloud which were about to close up began to enlarge once more.

Both the two fighters were forced to step backward, causing tracks on the ground as they did.

The next minute, Ricky and York took on each other again, releasing bolts of lightning as they collided.

Now and then, their collisions would leave a deep crack in the ground.

The two fighters moved so fast that they looked like two strings of lightning. In swift and unpredictable

flashes, they appeared on the ground, in the air, between the trees, and so on. People would hardly

see their collision. All they could see were two vague shadows swooshing past, here and there.

That was what those ordinary warriors could see and hear, of course.

For those who were stronger than Ricky and York, they could see their every collision. After one

particularly sharp clang, they separated again. Now both of them panting heavily, clothes torn, they

looked like a mess.

York was worse off. His eyes deep red, he reckoned just how powerful a peerless genius was. He

finally had real respect for Ricky.

When York was still a demi-immortal at the limit, he felt frail when faced with the weakest spiritual king.

But his opponent resisted him and even fought back beautifully. They just ended in a draw! It was

obvious that Ricky was very strong. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

York did not understand why a peerless genius was so highly spoken of until now.

"You are indeed very extraordinary!" York acknowledged.

"I will only be extraordinary after I defeat you!" Ricky responded calmly after he adjusted his breath and

retracted his devouring rune and chaotic fire rune.

The only thing left was the massacring rune. Ricky was ready to show the real power of his refined

body.

"Let's have the last one last do or die bout! One game will settle it all!" Ricky shouted and challenged.

"The Massacring Refined Body!" Then, Ricky dropped into a fighting stance as a hint of golden light

flashed through his eyes.
