"Thanks a lot, Hayes!"
Ricky said gratefully.
He noticed that Hayes and Guillermo had completely different attitudes when facing failure, and he very much preferred Hayes' approach. He believed that with Hayes' personality, he would surely achieve great heights in the future.
"Ricky, if you want, you can tell him about the Justice Skill of the Holy Three-Saber and your comprehension of the Justice Skill.
It might help him to break through to the Sage Level," the Dragon Intent Grass suggested.
"Hayes is an honest and straightforward person. If he can reach the Sage Level soon, he will surely be a great help when the time comes. He can help us fight the devils who will undoubtedly try to invade," it added further.
"Okay, I will."
Ricky nodded and then said to Hayes, "We can discuss our martial arts experience some more later. I think that will be helpful to both of us."
"That would be wonderful!"
Hayes grinned brightly and nodded eagerly to Ricky's suggestion.
Meanwhile, most of the warriors who watched their fight were in a state of shock. "Ricky just defeated Hayes!" some of them cried out. Some others commented, "He actually has six kinds of mutants. That is unbelievable!"
It was entirely conceivable that for a long time to come, they would all have to immerse themselves in the power of Ricky's six kinds of mutants.
'Those six mutants are really troublesome!' thought Mordechai sullenly as he watched Ricky. 'Fortunately, Ricky has not yet reached a higher realm, or there would have been no need to continue the battle since he would definitely win in that case.'
It was at this moment that Ashley sent a message to Mordechai through telepathy.
"It's your turn to repay me, Mordechai."
"What can I do for you? Just tell me, and I will try my best!" Mordechai immediately simpered as soon as he heard Ashley's words.
The truth was that he had his own assumption. Even though he focused on cultivation, it didn't mean that he knew nothing about everything else.
Ashley was probably going to ask him to defeat Ricky in her stead.
Just as he expected, she soon said, "Please help me defeat Ricky!"
"Don't worry. I need to defeat Ricky anyway regardless of the reason, for I am eager to be the holy son. You know that,"
Mordechai answered confidently.
"Oh, thank you very much! Now, let me tell you about Ricky's secret weapons.
That way, he can't take you by surprise," added Ashley.
'So, I was right. Those six mutants were not his last trump cards...' thought Mordechai.
He had thought that Ricky had a lot of secrets that he was keeping to himself, and it turned out that he was scarily accurate.
"Ashley, you don't need to tell me about his trump cards, as that is unfair to him. I will face him fairly, and even if I fail, I won't complain.
If I find out the enemy's trump card ahead of time and use that knowledge to get an advantage, my martial arts path will be incomplete. A battle won that way is worthless to me," he retorted.
"Then I can only wish you luck. Be careful. Make sure that you treat this battle with the desperation of a life-and-death match, or else you will lose,"
Ashley reminded him earnestly.
She didn't say anything more about Ricky's trump cards because she respected Mordechai's wishes. She understood where he was coming from when he said that he didn't want to win against Ricky in that way. To some extent, it seemed dishonorable.
She wouldn't even mention it if she didn't hate Ricky so much. However, her hatred for Ricky overpowered her honor, and that was why she suggested it.
"Thank you for reminding me,"
Mordechai replied before he set his attention back to Ricky.
Before long, Mordechai and Ricky were ready and eager to fight in the Combat Space.
This battle between the two was the battle over the position of the holy son, so all eyes were focused on them. After all, one of them would soon be the honorable holy son of the wood branch.
In contrast to the prestige in store for the winner, people would undoubtedly ignore the loser of this battle.
However, most of the people there had almost no information on these two people, so there was not much talking going on.
Everything they knew about Ricky came from unverified rumors, except the six kinds of mutants that he had shown in the previous battle.
On the other hand, Mordechai had joined the wood branch a long time ago, but he had always kept a low profile except for some fights in a few places. He had been with them for many years, and yet, none of them knew what his mutant was.
The battle between these two people immediately attracted Lloyd's attention.
Of course, nobody noticed that Lloyd was in the void, observing the battle.
