CHAPTER 966 MASCULINE POWER, THE INVINCIBLE OPPONENT OF FLAMES

'I didn't think I would face the masculine power here. Since it's one of the oldest types of power in the

world, it seems very profound. It's not surprising that it feels mysterious, and it must be the cause of

Bruce's enigmatic quality, ' Ricky thought to himself.

Despite his shock, Ricky's fighting spirit was increasing. Excitement livened his veins as he thought of

fighting a genius who cultivated the masculine power.

"Bruce, if I'm not mistaken, the power you are cultivating is the masculine power, right?" Ricky asked

straightforwardly then.

"Yes, you are right, Kenney. It is, indeed, the masculine power, but it's still far from the real masculine

power," Bruce said, nodding his head. "If the real masculine power is one hundred percent, I have only

cultivated thirty percent at the most."

"In my opinion, that's nothing to sneeze at! I believe that you're capable of cultivating the purest

masculine power sooner or later," Ricky said with a warm smile. "Now, show me how strong your

masculine power is!"

"Ha-ha, I also hope so. Let's get started!" Bruce answered, and as he spoke, his masculine power

surged once again.

He intended to take Ricky seriously, as he had already seen his considerable strength earlier.

Surrounded by the masculine runes, the white masculine power pervaded, and its temperature climbed

higher and higher. The masculine power and roaring flame had some similarities, and this was one of

them.

Both of the two were fire-related and born from flames, but the difference was that masculine power

was more advanced than flame power.

For a flame-based power to hurt anyone, it needed to have contact with its target, and it couldn't

severely injure the opponent unless it was burnt directly on the body.

The masculine power, however, could be used to injure the opponent without contact with the

opponent's body. Thus, it was more long-ranged than a flame-power attack.

This was because of the masculine power's focus—the masculine light. Masculine light bore the power

of heat, and it could be condensed into something fast, overwhelming, and deeply painful. The more

light there was, the faster the heat could spread, and thus, the worse injuries could be inflicted.

And now that Ricky was facing Bruce, he needed to be constantly alert and wholly focused on the

battle since he couldn't use his five mutants, the chaotic power, and the third level of Ultimate Golden

Body.

Swish!

Bruce didn't hesitate. His black pupils turned white, as the masculine power around him gave off vivid

light that shone fiercely. While the light was shining, the temperature increased gradually, and steam

and smoke came out from the ground itself.

'Chaotic Fire Mutant!' Ricky cried out in his mind. Instantly, the chaotic fire runes began to pervade, and

he pushed the Chaotic Fire Mutant to its extreme.

If he was to use his power to resist the burning of the masculine power, he had to burst out the power

of his five mutants. That meant that he had to use everything he had.

However, he didn't resist this time, and he simply let the masculine light caress his body.

It was a calculated gamble on his part, and his confidence in the Chaotic Fire Mutant played a huge

part.

He counted on it to make him fireproof, and with its help, he believed that no fire could burn him.

Swish! The masculine light went straight into Ricky's Chaotic Fire Mutant in an attempt to destroy his

body with the power of heat. But at this moment, Ricky's whole body turned into fire, so of course, the

flames posed no danger to him at all.

But even so, he still got hurt.

That was because the masculine power seeped through part of his Chaotic Fire Mutant, and it

managed to lightly scald some parts of his body that were exposed. It just showed how powerful Content provided by .

masculine power was.

'The masculine power is too dangerous! It even touched my real body despite the protection of the

Chaotic Fire Mutant!' Ricky couldn't help but sigh, as he was awed by its overwhelming power, but at

the same time, he was aware that it could lead to his death.

If he didn't have the Chaotic Fire Mutant, he wouldn't be able to resist the masculine power at all, and

he would have been burned into a pile of coal already.

"Even though his masculine power is not pure, you cannot underestimate it. After all, the masculine

power is the invincible opponent of flame mutants. Flame-related mutants reveal the real bodies of the

cultivators in the face of the masculine power, but your flame mutant doesn't, which just shows how

strong your mutant is," the Dragon Intent Grass said.

Ricky's expression became pensive at this piece of information.

"That means that flame mutants are generally suppressed by masculine power, right?" he asked in a

low voice, a stern frown growing on his face.

"That's right, so you have to go all out. He is no match for you if you burst out all your five mutants at

the same time," the Dragon Intent Grass said.

"Okay, but I can't let others know my real identity, so I can't reveal my five mutants for the time being,"

Ricky said. That was another complication because he wasn't planning on killing any of them, so he

couldn't outright show them his power. Otherwise, his real identity would be exposed.

"You can also see that masculine power can only slightly suppress my flame mutant. And I can recover

from the burn it caused me in an instant, so I don't have to burst out all the five mutants yet."

As he spoke, he activated the life and death rune and the Life and Death Fire, to remove the tiny burns

on his body.

"If that's the case, we can only pray that Bruce hasn't cultivated the masculine power to forty percent

yet," the Dragon Intent Grass said worriedly.

After that, no more words were exchanged between them, as the Dragon Intent Grass decided to just

watch everything play out. Meanwhile, Ricky focused on Bruce once more.

"Ricky, your flame mutant and your means to recover from the burn astound me. All my other

opponents with flame mutants revealed their real bodies once they were exposed to my masculine

light. This is the first time that someone was able to stand up against it. That means that your flame

mutant is the most powerful that I've ever encountered."

Bruce spoke with an elated expression on his face, and instead of being frightened by Ricky's

impressive power, he seemed even more excited.

"But I have to admit that your masculine power did suppress me. From now on, I won't be holding

back!"

Ricky warned Bruce. Then, he activated his Chaotic Fire Mutant to the extreme, and nine kinds of

flames condensed into the flaming lotus and mingled with his right fist.

"Space-shrinking Pace!"

Ricky exclaimed, bursting out the Space-shrinking Pace. Indeed, he was now showing his true

strength.

Because his Chaotic Fire Mutant was quite advanced, the masculine power could only suppress him a

little, but the minimal suppression could likely put him in a passive position in this battle.

Thus, he had to end this as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Bruce's pupils shrank in surprise at Ricky's move. But he easily recovered and gathered all

the masculine power from his entire body without hesitation. He shrouded himself in it, like a chain-mail

armor.

"Masculine Rule! Masculine Shield!"

This Masculine Rule was composed of the incomplete ruling power.

Scorching white masculine power shone vividly in the place, and its light was as blinding as the sun, as

it condensed into a protective shield for Bruce.

Boom! The deafening sound of two powerful forces colliding rang through the air instantly. Bright

orange light and white light combined, as Ricky's flaming fist slammed on the Masculine Shield.

The collision between the flame and the masculine power was so fierce that the whole cave shook.

Glowing airwaves instantly swept around from the center of collision and formed ripples that dashed all

over.

Standing aside, Bella couldn't stand the strong impact and was almost thrown back. Thankfully, Stuart

appeared beside her just in time to steady her.

At this moment, the power on the Masculine Shield was rapidly condensed and wrapped around

Ricky's flaming fist. Bruce quickly condensed the suppressive force of the masculine power over the

flame to force Ricky to withdraw his Chaotic Fire Mutant.

Under such strong suppressive force, Ricky's flaming fist slowly turned back into blood and flesh, the

chaotic fire receding.

"He concentrated all the suppressive force of the masculine power on my right fist?" Ricky murmured in

a low, surprised voice, as it was the last thing that he expected from Bruce.

Then, without any hesitation, he drew out his right fist and quickly jumped away from Bruce.

As soon as he retreated, the Masculine Shield quickly changed and condensed into an attack, rushing

toward Ricky.
