CHAPTER 677 A BIG PROBLEM

Upon saying these words in excitement, Ricky looked at Pearl with glee. However, their joy might have

been short lived when they suddenly realized that it was all too good to be true and that it wasn't as

simple as they thought it would be.

If the test was to master Jacob's cultivation method, then why did so many creatures die here?

"Hey, what's up? Is there any problem?" Jacob said lightly after noticing the sudden silence form Ricky

and Pearl.

"As a matter of fact, sir, yes there are. We noticed that all the rocks floating around have skeletons in

them, and these skeletons are from the creatures who failed in this Dark and Light Rock Array," Ricky

reported.

"You're right about that. When they all failed, they had their bodies trapped in this array. After they died,

their bodies were wrapped in rocks which would float in this space forever," Jacob confirmed.

"Maybe one day, this Dark and Light Rock Array will disintegrate all by itself, and their skeletons will be

exposed again!

By the way, I have already collected the storage rings. And if you are able to pass the test, I will give

them to you. This can be regarded as a contribution to the creatures on the continent. But I shall ask

you one thing in return—you should kill more devils in the future."

"Sir, now that we know that so many creatures have failed, I think that we, too, might suffer the same

fate and will probably have less chances to survive. In other words, it is not enough to pass the test by

practicing a single cultivation method. It seems that this is not as simple as you said it was," Ricky said.

"At this point, it is not necessary for me to give you two juniors false hopes. It is true that a single

cultivation method is enough and there is no time limit in doing so. It is simple as that. What's more, I

have faith in the both of you and I'm sure that you will succeed. And that is why I have talked you into

this," Jacob said upon hearing Ricky's words.

But his words struck Ricky and Pearl with curiosity.

"Sir, if I may ask, why are you so sure that the both of us can succeed?" Pearl asked.

"As I have already told you from the beginning, you own the Feminine Mutant. On the other hand, even

though he doesn't own the Massacring Mutant, what he owns is superior to it," Jacob said with a smile

on his face.

"Does it mean that his cultivation method needs two people to cultivation. And one must be the owner

of the Feminine Mutant and the other be the owner of the Massacring Mutant?" Ricky said to Pearl

telepathically after hearing Jacob's reply.

If the cultivation method was only suitable for the owners of the Feminine Mutant and the so-called

Massacring Mutant, then Ricky and Pearl would be the right people to practice them. Now wonder a lot

of creatures died.

"Perhaps it is!" Pearl replied.

"Then, sir, where is the said cultivation method?" Ricky asked as soon as he had the chance to speak

up.

"It is just on the largest motionless rock in the center. Once you read the cultivation method, you will

understand why I am convinced that you can succeed in practicing, and why so many creatures before

you have failed," Jacob said.

He stared at them for a moment with an obvious wicked smile on his face.

Without further ado, Ricky and Pearl jumped and went to the location of the said rock. There, they saw

an iron box on the rock which contained a scroll of beast hide.

Upon seeing the cultivation method, they realized that it was their test.

"Dark and Light Dual Cultivation Method!" Just right after they opened the scroll of beast hide, Ricky

and Pearl saw the name of the cultivation method. But as soon as they looked at the name of the

cultivation method, Ricky and Pearl had a bad feeling about it.

And with only those couple of words, something was made clear to them.

Without uttering a single word, the two continued reading. But after a while, they discarded it directly

with a red flush on their faces for they didn't know what to do.

"Haha, so what do you think? I have told you over and over again that you two will surely succeed. You

should know that it is my cultivation method. So many spiritual emperors have aspired to grab it. What

you've read is a cultivation method at the advanced Earth Level, and surely, it is just a step away from

the Heaven Level!" Jacob said in a laugh while he looked at the unfathomable facial expressions of

Ricky and Pearl.

After Ricky and Pearl had read the cultivation method, everything became clear to them.

The cultivation method at the advanced Earth Level was a dual cultivation method. The dual cultivation

meant that it was to be performed by the pair of a man and a woman.

And that was the reason why a lot of creatures had failed. Those who came in alone didn't stand a

chance.

And on top of that, the cultivation method also had a special requirement.

It was that this cultivation method required the Feminine Mutant and the Massacring Mutant.

If the cultivation method were to be practiced by a man and a women without the Feminine Mutant and

the Massacring Mutant, their bodies would explode and they would die.

Therefore, even if a man and a woman without the Feminine Mutant and the Massacring Mutant came

here together, they would surely die horrible deaths.

And that was why all this time, Jacob was so certain that Ricky and Pearl would be able to master the

cultivation method.

Unfortunately, Jacob thought that Ricky and Pearl were lovers! But in reality they were the complete

opposite—they were mortal enemies.

'Fuck! What kind of a shit test is this? You've got to be kidding me!' Ricky couldn't help but curse with

burning rage in his mind. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Ricky, are you going to practice the dual cultivation method with Pearl?" said Tina, who was in the

Chaotic Fire Zone, in a mood that she couldn't put a name on.

"No, I won't. Tina, it is impossible at this point," emphasized Ricky.

"But, if you don't do that, then how are we supposed to get out of here? I doesn't own the Feminine

Mutant..."

"Don't worry. I will discuss this with Jacob," assured Ricky.

But this was all too big of a problem for Ricky at the moment. He even felt that this was bigger than the

destruction of the entire world for he wasn't entirely sure what to do.

…

Meanwhile, Pearl stood aside in a trance.

"Sir, is it really your cultivation method? If so, can you practice it alone?" Ricky asked Jacob after a

moment of tranquility.

"Ha-ha, I am the Dark and Light Mutant, with the dark and light power in my body. That means that any

woman would be suitable for me," Jacob said with a smile upon hearing Ricky's inquiry.

"Why do you two still feel shy? In the moment of life and death, you two should make a combination to

cultivate even if you are enemies. Otherwise, you will stay here together with the skeletons in the rocks.

Would you like that to happen? I don't think so.

And besides, one of you owns the Feminine Mutant, and what the other owns is superior to the

Massacring Mutant. You are an ideal couple created by nature. This cultivation method is almost

perfect for you in every way."

Cold pea-like sweat started to form on Ricky's body after he heard Jacob's words.

Standing beside them, Pearl, too, looked so helpless like there was no other option.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, Ricky and I are really mortal enemies, and the forces behind us are also the

same. But I believe that there is no other option now. We have no choice but to make a temporary

combination to face the situation," Pearl said in a slight sigh.

"So in that case, it is impossible for us to cultivate together. Is there any other way out of here?"

Having heard Ricky's helpless words, Jacob felt more interested on how this situation was going to go.

And then he laughed. "Ha-ha! How interesting! I didn't expect you to be mortal enemies. What can I

say? This makes things more interesting now."
