In the blink of an eye, Ricky's momentum soared and clashed with Mike's, resembling two streaks of
entangled lightning. Roaring and howling sounds echoed all around them as if beasts were prowling
nearby.
Of course, there were none. Only the collision of two ace geniuses like them could have produced such
a sound.
Ricky's eyes shifted from one color to another the moment he activated his mutants. With these mutant
powers, he intended to get on the same level as Mike in terms of momentum.
Mike was undoubtedly an intermediate one-star middle spiritual emperor. And even though Ricky had
become a three-star lower spiritual emperor at peak state, it didn't change the fact that he was still just
a lower spiritual emperor.
If he wanted to take on Mike, he had no choice but to use his six mutants.
"Grass, I truly understand how difficult it is to challenge someone with higher level when both me and
the opponent are getting stronger. Although I had activated the seventh zone, I still found it hard to beat
him. In this case, I might not be able to challenge my superiors once I have become a demi-saint."
Ricky shared his opinion to the Dragon Intent Grass as he was activating his mutants.
"Brat, when will you be satisfied with what you have? After all, I think you are the only one who can
challenge those who are at a level higher than you even though you are just at the Emperor Level. In
fact, even those ace geniuses at the Emperor Level have trouble doing that," the Dragon Intent Grass
lectured him.
"I guess you're right..." Ricky finally agreed.
Afterward, he turned his attention back to his fight with Mike.
"That guy has six mutants!" Seeing that Ricky had burst out six mutants, the saints and disciples from
other regions of the Middle Land were stunned. It was not until then that they realized why Ricky had
the balls to confront Mike despite being a lower spiritual emperor.
Even the saints from the outer region were taken aback. After all, it was more shocking now that they
had witnessed it first hand, rather than if they had heard about it from others.
At once, an ardent discussion broke out among the saints from other regions. "I can't believe he has six
mutants! I've never met anyone with that many mutants before."
"Yeah, he is indeed talented. It looks like we can't underestimate the geniuses of the outer region!" "I
totally agree with you, man! Thanks to the six mutants, he can challenge someone superior to him at
the Emperor Level!"
"If it's possible, I think we should try getting this white-haired genius on our side."
Meanwhile, Mike was staring at Ricky intently, envy obvious in his gaze.
"I heard that you have six mutants, and now, I finally saw it with my own eyes. I think you are even
more talented than other ace geniuses," praised Mark.
At this point, he didn't dare to underestimate Ricky.
"Ha-ha! Are you kidding me? If this got out, all the ace geniuses on the continent would come for me
and challenge me.
I'm sure they would like to test their skills against me," retorted Ricky. Mike couldn't help but laugh
when he heard this.
Suddenly, the duo locked gazes with each other, and a bright light emerged from between them.
In the next moment, their momentums clashed with each other. With their arms crossed over their
chests, overwhelming power gushed out from their bodies. Their powers swelled like the sea and
crashed against each other like waves.
Clung! The next moment, the rending sound of metal rang through the air. The two impactful forces
produced by their collision instantly spread outward like tornadoes, blowing both Ricky and Mike away.
Despite this seemingly destructive attack, Ricky and Mike had not actually used their real strength.
They just wanted to assess each other's ability.
Mike immediately realized that he should avoid fighting with Ricky with his physical body, as it would
put him at a disadvantage. If he insisted on fighting that way, it was highly likely that Ricky could simply
control the pace of their fight.
Claire, Peter, Michael, and Enoch, who were all watching outside the ancient arena, were struck dumb,
especially when they saw that Ricky could comfortably exchange blows with Mike.
The last time when they met, Ricky had shown them how powerful he was, but his initial abilities paled
to what he was showing them now. They were, frankly, astounded. How did Ricky get this strong in
such a short time?
'Has he mastered the king's inheritance? But that's impossible! Even if he began to master it, he
couldn't have made such significant progress that quickly.
It seems that I have underestimated him once again. But what kind of person is he? I'm even more
curious now. After all, there is a slight resemblance between him and the king in terms of talent and
appearance,' Claire thought to herself as she observed Ricky intently.
Knowing that he should avoid clashing with Ricky using his physical body, Mike unleashed his fortune-
telling power. The so-called fortune-telling power would allow him to communicate with the heavenly
power, which would then show him the future.
Boom! After Mike unleashed his fortune-telling power, Ricky sensed the strong suppression from the
heavenly power. No matter how strong a creature was, the heavenly law's effect would always be
stronger.
Then, Mike executed a strange gesture, and the heavenly power instantly transformed into a power
that would enable him to see the past and the future.
This was the true extent of the fortune-telling power.
"As far as I know, the fortune-telling power is a kind of power from the Eight Diagrams," explained the
Dragon Intent Grass.
"I see. Perhaps, Mike had acquired an inheritance related to the Eight Diagrams just like Jasper did,"
Ricky speculated curiously.
"I guess so. Mike and Jasper are enemies to some extent," the Dragon Intent Grass replied at once.
"Is that so? But that's none of my business. What I need to do is defeat Mike." Ricky spoke. As the
fortune-telling power shrouded him like a fog, Mike created five passages.
Immediately after, five shadows rushed out from them and knocked Ricky out of the sky.
"Ricky, you cannot escape this attack unless you use your chaotic power. Your six mutant powers can
only make up for your low cultivation level." Mike spoke in a patronizing tone.
"Who knows? Anyway, I believe that everything is possible. I'll give it a shot!" Ricky responded with a
bright grin.
In the blink of an eye, the six kinds of runes had created an invisible power, which shielded him from
the upcoming attack.
The consequence shook Ricky to the core. He now realized how terrifying the fortune-telling power
was.
Due to the forceful collision, Ricky's invisible shield that had been protecting him collapsed. However,
Mike's fortune-telling power twisted it around.
Ricky had no choice but to condense hundreds of Massacring Holy Patterns to defend himself.
'The fortune-telling power originating from the heavenly power is indeed impressive. Mike's level is
higher than mine, and he can cultivate the fortune-telling power. That means I can't defeat him with
only six mutants,' Ricky thought to himself.
"Fortune-telling Blade, come out!"
At that point, Mike had gathered more and more fortune-telling power, which he later unleashed. It was
the first Omnipotent Skill related to fortune-telling he had activated to attack Ricky.
In the next breath, Ricky felt the suppression around him grow stronger and stronger.
