CHAPTER 678 HIGH-HANDED RICKY
Jacob was pretty excited after hearing what Ricky had just said. For countless years, as a part of his
soul that lacked the freedom he used to have, he had been staying in this Dark and Light Rock Array
and only had himself to talk to. It was a very lonely experience that he had almost forgotten how it was
to talk to someone else. To his great surprise, he had finally met the young man who would make him
want to talk again.
What surprised him even more was what happened next. It made him more interested and even put
him in a happy mood.
Under the circumstances, Jacob was really wondering in his heart what could happen with Ricky and
Pearl. He was curious about what their choices would be. In addition, he thought that it would still be so
much fun for him no matter what their decisions would be in the end.
Deep in his heart, he thought that it was a good thing to get a chance and see something interesting
before finally disappearing as a soul. With all that in mind, he could not help but put a smile on his face,
something he hadn't done in a long time.
"Sir, first of all, this shouldn't be funny, so can you please stop laughing at it? In addition, please do
consider to set up another challenge for us. I won't complain at all even if the new challenge ends up
being ten times more difficult than the one that you just said," Ricky said in a serious tone as he stared
at Jacob. Although he looked calm at that moment, he was feeling helpless with Jacob's test. However,
he did not want to reveal his true emotions at all in front of the others. He tried his best to convince
Jacob to change his mind.
"Well, do you not understand that I'm just a soul? I can't believe that you think that I'm still capable of
controlling the Dark and Light Rock Array," Jacob replied after hearing Ricky's words. "As you can see,
I'm nothing more than a lost soul. If it wasn't for the protection of the power from the array right here,
any creature would have already killed me in one breath without much effort.
In addition, if I had that kind of power, I would have already tried getting out of this hellhole a long time
ago. I would never ever spend another second in this place if I had a choice!
Believe me or not, all I want at this moment is a creature to come and pass the test for me to finally get
my freedom. Life in here as a soul isn't that great. You guys have no idea how awful things could be This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
after living in this world for a long time. Believe me, staying in the world too long will only make you feel
disgusted towards everything you encounter.
Therefore, I would like to suggest that you two work together for this test.
You two have the perfect physical conditions for dual cultivation given that she has the Feminine
Mutant while what you have is superior to the Massacring Mutant. You have no idea how blessed the
two of you are to have such strong physical attributes for cultivation. So why cling on to hatred or other
worldly ideas that will only hold you back? The law of this martial world is just as cruel as the law of the
jungle. The weak shall always fall to the strong.
I know it is not easy to find your so-called soul mate in a world like this. However, if you two are willing
to do the dual cultivation, I'm sure that your genuine feelings towards each other would arise in no time.
Now you only have one and only choice here, which is to abandon the hatred you have in your hearts
and practice together. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits you is to become rotten skeletons.
Look down at the skeletons in those rocks. It'll be too late to say any of your regrets if you die here,
don't you think so?"
"Sir, why do I have a strong feeling that you were just saying that to convince us that we should do the
dual cultivation? None of that makes sense at all!" Ricky responded helplessly after hearing what
Jacob had just said.
"Well, what you said is not all wrong. Although I'm a spiritual emperor, one of my hobbies while I was
alive was to be a matchmaker. Most of the cases that I had successfully done though were just me
being a matchmaker for myself. I had done dual cultivation with many women. And every single time,
the woman was always more than willing to do dual cultivation with me. I had never forced anyone of
them into doing it," Jacob calmly stated in a flat tone.
"And that might be the reason why the patriarch of the Massacring Holy Ant tribe did not kill me back
then. Instead, he had treated me as a friend while I was only his servant."
"Oh, sir, I don't mean to be rude but I'm not really in the mood to listen to your stories right now. Can we
just focus on the test and how we can get through it?" Ricky felt helpless after hearing what Jacob had
said. He was trying his best to stop Jacob from telling more about himself.
However, at the same time, Ricky had known very little about what Jacob's character. Based on what
Jacob had said and his tone, he seemed to be the kind of person who was uninhibited and unworldly.
"Ha-ha! Well, fine. You two can discuss it yourselves," Jacob replied with a smile on his face. He could
not help but feel happy after hearing what Ricky had just said. What Ricky did really caught Jacob's
interest at that moment. He then added, "To say the least, if you two really hate each other so much,
you could just kill the other right after the successful cultivation. This should be another way out for you
guys, am I right?"
By that time, Jacob had already finished what he wanted to say. He then turned silent as he looked at
Ricky and Pearl with great interest.
For a moment, no one knew what to say next and the area was filled with silence.
"Ricky, what do you plan on doing now? Isn't there a possible way to get out of here by simply entering
the Chaotic Fire Zone?" Tina asked in a perplexed tone. She was totally confused by everything that
was going on at that moment.
At that point, Tina felt even more tangled than Ricky was. Deep in her heart, the last thing she wanted
to see was for Ricky and Pearl to do the dual cultivation. However, on the other hand, she didn't want
them to die without trying.
If what Jacob had said was true, it would be the only way out for the both of them. They had to do the
dual cultivation. Otherwise, Ricky would have to face his death and this was the last thing she wanted.
She really hated herself at that moment thinking that she was not the perfect one to help him in doing
the dual cultivation.
"Tina, I don't know how to get out of here right now. Even if I enter the Chaotic Fire Zone, I don't think
I'll be able to leave that easily," Ricky answered with a slight sigh. "There is a special connection
between my body and the Chaotic Fire Zone. Given that, the Chaotic Fire Zone would always be
wherever my body is.
And since I'm in the Dark and Light Rock Array right now, there is no way out for the Chaotic Fire Zone
either."
After hearing Ricky's explanation, Tina didn't know what to say next. For a moment, there was only
silence around all of them.
'If there is no other way out, all that is left for me to do is follow Jacob's advice and try to work with
Pearl," Ricky thought to himself after thinking about it for a while in his mind. Deep in his heart, he
knew that the last thing he wanted was to die there.
In his heart, there were still so many things he wanted to do, feats he had to accomplish.
On the other hand, Pearl was, without a doubt, a pretty nice woman indeed. Even though Ricky was a
gentleman in his mind, as a man with needs, he felt that he wanted such a woman like her. In addition,
Pearl owned the source of feminine energy within her body. How could he not yearn for it?
They were all so busy contemplating in their heads that silence continued to fill their surroundings.
"If my memory serves me right, there will be source of feminine energy in the body of the owner of
Feminine Mutant." All of a sudden, Jacob finally broke the silence.
"In order to awaken the source of feminine energy, the owner of the Feminine Mutant must make love
to the owner of the Massacring Mutant. As far as I know, that is the one and only way to awaken this
power.
In this case, for you little girl, this is that good things come in pairs! After all, you will have to awaken
the source of feminine energy in your body sooner or later. Until then, your Feminine Mutant will be the
real Feminine Mutant."
As he was speaking, Jacob turned and looked at Pearl with clear expectations on his face as he waited
for her response.
The moment she noticed that Jacob was staring at her, Pearl tried to avoid his eyes as quickly as she
could.
'Wow, I had no idea that the source of feminine energy had to be awakened that way, ' Ricky thought in
his mind after hearing Jacob's words.
"Young man, when I look at you, I have a strong feeling that your body is much more powerful than the
one with the Massacring Mutant. I can sense that there are other kinds of hidden powers in your body
that are definitely as powerful as warriors with mutants. I have this feeling that you already have a
household reputation outside this place.
Hey, why don't you answer my question yourself?" Jacob then turned and looked at Ricky as he waited
for his response to his question.
"You're absolutely right, sir," Ricky said as he nodded in approval. This time, his tone changed as he
sounded a little more domineering.
All of a sudden, Ricky closed the Chaotic Fire Zone without warning Tina first. After doing that, she
wouldn't be able to see anything outside the Chaotic Fire Zone anymore.
"It looks like you have already made up your mind, am I right?" Jacob asked immediately as he felt that
something had changed in Ricky's tone. He could tell that Ricky had already made his decision in his
mind.
Ricky did not answer Jacob's question directly but instead turned to look at Pearl.
"Pearl, I don't care what you're thinking of at this moment. I just want you to know that dying in this
place is the last thing that I want for the both of us," Ricky calmly stated in a firm voice.
"So, for the rest of our remaining time, while you and I are stuck in here, I will need you to finish the
cultivation method with me. I don't care whether you're willing to do this or not, you have to follow my
lead so that we can finally get out of here. That's the only thing I need from you right now."
Boom! To prepare for everything, Ricky released the full momentum from his body as he spoke, fully
aware that Pearl would not agree with him right away.
As for Ricky, he was not willing to do what he had to do in order to awaken Pearl's source of feminine
energy, which meant that he had to make love to her. However, he was not willing to die there as well.
This must be the only way out. They had to do the dual cultivation as Jacob had said earlier. If he was
lying, there should not be as many dead creatures in this place. After all, those who were able to enter
this place were geniuses with high cultivation levels. Given that glimmer of hope, he would not allow
her refusal to impede his survival.
"Ha-ha! That's nice! This is exactly how a man should be! I like your overbearing character right now.
Keep it up." After Ricky's words, Jacob could not help but laugh out loud.
"We should always keep justice in our hearts. And this is our responsibility as creatures from the
continent. However, we have to accomplish more using some arbitrary measures. And now, this is
exactly one of those moments. Ha-ha!"
"Sir, you'd better stop talking or laughing right now. Or I will be the one to blow you away!" Ricky stated
as he gave Jacob a serious look after hearing him laugh.
For a moment after Ricky's words, silence filled the area once again.
"Ricky, how dare you say this?! Don't you have any idea that you're asking for trouble by saying all of
that?!" Pearl responded out of fury after Ricky's statement. Her murderous intent immediately grew
more intense as she spoke.
