CHAPTER 519 THE WOMAN SAVES HIM IN TIME!
As soon as the man appeared in front of Ricky, Ricky was amazed by the strong aura that he
possessed. He almost felt as if an enormous mountain was pressing against him. At the same time, his
enlightening power swept through space and made its way towards Ricky. Just as Ricky was
wondering who this man was, he heard the murmurs of the disciples around him.
"Oh, it's him! Bowie, Bernard's cousin!" the disciples of the Oriental College who had gathered around
Ricky shouted instantly.
"At the competition among outer disciples last year, he was ranked ninth and his strength was graded
medium among the first-class lower spiritual kings. It's been a year since then, and he should've have
reached the peak level of a first-class lower spiritual king."
"Wow, it's going to be a good show. Bowie has always been loyal to Bernard. In the previous selection,
Bernard suffered a great loss because of Soar, Ricky's buddy. Now as fate presents him to face Ricky,
he is not going to miss the chance to trouble him."
While they were engaged in a hot discussion, all the disciples also began to turn their attention on the
two warriors who were just about to clash.
In Bowie Bu's strong momentum, apart from the ruin aura from the Ruin Leopard tribe, Ricky also felt a
powerful force that was pressing him hard. Ricky immediately deduced that along with the ruin power,
Bowie Bu had also applied the Gravitation Enlightenment. He was actually practicing these two
different powers at the same time.
However, Ricky was not afraid of him at all. Having recently reinforced his current level, Ricky actually
wanted to have a good fight to test his real strength. 'Bowie is ranked ninth among the outer disciples.
Then definitely, his strength is bound to be extraordinary. He is the perfect man for me to test my new
power.' Ricky's mind was racing.
Meanwhile, his body trembled and he launched his scorching flame. The next second, Bowie Bu's
invisible attack was easily blocked by his power.
"Whether I can successfully cultivate the Scud Movement Skill or not, it seems to have nothing to do
with you. So, just get out of my way!" Ricky said coldly. Since he wanted to have a duel with Bowie Bu,
he could not launch the attack first. He had to somehow provoke Bowie Bu to start the fight.
"Humph! You are quite confident about yourself!" Bowie Bu sneered disdainfully. He was getting slightly
irritated at Ricky's arrogance, and Ricky's plan seemed to start working. As a result, his enlightening
power became stronger, which made even the space around him crack.
He then added, "Are you aware that you are a disciple who has just entered the Oriental College?
Didn't your previous master teach you how to respect senior disciples?
Or, are your master as arrogant and conceited like you? You need to be taught a good lesson!"
"Hey, you seem to talk too much! You know what people say, right? A barking dog seldom bites! So,
step aside now!" Ricky replied coldly as he sneered.
An ear-splitting growl suddenly burst in the area around Ricky.
Ricky's provocative words had fulfilled his intention. The roar had come from Bowie Bu, the special
sound of the Ruin Leopard. He was boiling and shaking with anger.
"Oh? Oops! I'm sorry! I forgot that you are actually a leopard. It's a little too insulting to refer to you as a
mere dog," Ricky said with mocking disappointment as if he suddenly realized that this was the cause
of Bowie Bu's fury.
"Look, how Ricky is provoking Bowie again and again!" the disciples watching them commented at
once. An old proverb correctly says that you cannot see what everyone else sees. The spectators
immediately realized that Ricky was inciting Bowie Bu on purpose, while the latter was just
overwhelmed by rage and couldn't think if there was a motive behind it. Or maybe Bowie Bu was
actually not blinded by his anger, but instead, he was just so confident in himself that he chose to teach
Ricky a lesson in public. So, he would win respect from every newcomer. Any which way, the onlookers Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
were curious to witness how the show would unfold.
"An ace genius like Ricky is bound to be so arrogant. He will never take Bowie seriously. The only thing
left is to watch them fight," a senior disciple added at once.
Boom! The next second, Bowie Bu launched the first attack, just as the senior disciple had predicted.
Without any conversion, the power of Ruin Enlightenment behind him condensed into a phantom of a
Ruin Leopard, which instantly pierced the space and darted straight to Ricky's face, throwing a hard
punch at him.
The corner of Ricky's mouth rose. He was so glad that his fish had bit the hook. Without any delay, he
burst out all of his most powerful skills. He immediately launched a scorching flame punch towards
Bowie Bu which vibrated the space and collided directly with his ruin punch.
With the collision, the space in the area around them shattered into pieces and dropped on the ground
like broken glass. Yet, the two warriors' violent punches were still firmly pressed against each other in
the air.
Bang! As the space in the power-swept area shattered completely, the collision core of the two
punches broke out with an even more powerful reaction force. Under this violent energy, Ricky and
Bowie Bu were forced to retreat hastily.
However, while Bowie Bu only stepped back four steps, Ricky had retreated at least fourteen steps
further back. Moreover, Ricky's feet were pushed three times more into the depth of the ground than
that of Bowie Bu.
More than that, you could see that Ricky was panting heavily. It was clear that he was in an absolutely
disadvantageous situation and the fight was turning out to be too heavy for him.
'Bowie is definitely practicing two kinds of enlightening powers, Ruin Enlightenment and Gravitation
Enlightenment, and his combat power has reached the peak level of a lower spiritual king, ' Ricky
became very serious and thought to himself.
'I underestimated his strength and didn't realize the seriousness of his skill. Bowie is ranked ninth
among the outer disciples of the Oriental College. His strength is really extraordinary. I shouldn't have
started the fight with him.' Ricky realized that blinded by his arrogance, he had picked a very wrong
fight.
However, the battle had already begun, and his only choice was to fight until the end. If he showed any
sign of weakness, the battle would be controlled by Bowie Bu.
Of course, Ricky was quite assured about his safety. They were just outside the Culture Method Hall.
Bowie Bu would have to be completely out of his mind to go all out and try to kill him at this place. If he
did that, he would face much more severe consequence according to the rules of the Oriental College.
"It seems that Ricky is weaker than Bowie at this time," the disciples around them expressed as they
saw the entire fight.
"I think Bowie will request Ricky to have a real fight with him in the arena. After all, this place is just
outside the Cultivation Method Hall and we are not allowed to have combat here," one of the onlookers
commented.
"Humph! Is an ace genius so weak like this? If you have the nerve, just come to the arena and have a
real fight with me. I assure you that I will beat the crap out of you!" Bowie Bu snarled. And true to the
disciple's prediction, Bowie Bu challenged Ricky just the next moment for the same.
"I won't! I have other things to do and I have to leave now. So, leopard, please get out of my way. If you
still dare to launch attacks here, you may destroy some of the stuff in the Cultivation Method Hall. We
both know that if that happens, we can't afford that," Ricky said with a grin as he slowly withdrew his
momentum. He knew he had to get out of the place as soon as possible. No matter how brave, no wise
man fights when the odds are against him.
After saying this, Ricky was ready to leave. Naturally, he chose the opposite direction. After all, he
knew that Bowie Bu would not let him go and if he kept fighting, he knew that he would suffer a great
loss.
"After deliberately infuriating me, do you think you can get out of here, from my claws, so easily?"
Bowie Bu grunted as he ferociously started launching his attack again.
This time, Bowie Bu directly activated the dual enlightening powers—Ruin Enlightenment and
Gravitation Enlightenment. Under the pressure of the two powers, Ricky's whole body seemed to be
crushed and he was about to collapse. Once again, he felt as if an enormous mountain was pressing
against him.
In a second, Bowie Bu leaped high to the air and resembled a Ruin Leopard. His hands were
transformed into two sharp claws which pounced directly towards Ricky.
"So, you really want to have a fight here!" Ricky murmured coldly. When he saw Bowie Bu launch an
attack again, he knew that he was driven into a corner and as a result, he was filled with rage. Without
any delay, he also burst out his strongest power to resist Bowie Bu's attack.
"Bowie, this is not the place where you can fight," a cold voice suddenly interrupted the fight.
Bowie's eyes widened at the cold voice, and there was a slight hint of fear in his eyes. Immediately, he
retreated all his offences and landed on the ground from midair.
"Oh, no! She is here! It seems that our chance of watching a wonderful show is ruined," the onlookers
around the two warriors murmured, their voices tinged with disappointment.
The next moment, all of them turned back and saw a woman in a blue dress slowly walking towards
them with her hands folded in front of her. She seemed like elegance and decency personified, and
everyone was lost in the admiration of her gentle beauty.
With an oval face and slightly pointed chin, the woman was dazzling.
The aura exuding from the woman's body was very cold. But besides the coldness, there was also a
sense of vitality in it.
'Is this woman the disciple who is ranked first among the outer disciples?' Ricky wondered to himself.
He was a little stunned. He had heard about the woman before and knew how strong she was. 'What is
she doing here? And why is she trying to help me?' Ricky asked himself inwardly.
At that very moment, the woman was examining Ricky and looking at him up and down.
