Since Ricky acquired the primitive cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body and cultivated the eternal power, his body had become almost indestructible. His endurance had also increased even when he hadn't activated the Ultimate Golden Body. Thus, the blood-colored wind here couldn't hurt him one bit.
When they saw this, Laura and her companions were shocked.
Although they knew that Ricky was a middle spiritual emperor, they still thought of him as a child just as his physical features suggested. Besides, a warrior who had just become a middle spiritual emperor was nothing special in their eyes. He shouldn't be strong enough to do this.
However, the blood-colored wind that downed two of their strongest had almost no effect on Ricky.
'Wow! Audrey's new friend is really something!' Laura remarked with awe in her heart once she regained her senses. It was not until this moment that she began to take Ricky seriously.
"Laura, it looks like the rumors are accurate for once. This kid is more than what he seems at first glance. Moreover, I have used the Mind-clearing Spell to assess him, and I have a strong feeling that he may look like a kid, but he isn't. His display of strength right now is more proof of that, especially his incredible physical body,"
Helen remarked through telepathy as she watched Ricky, who was heading toward them.
"You are right, Helen. With his strength, he could pose a threat to us, but I can tell that he bears no ill-will for us. Instead, I think he is trying to help us out of the goodness of his heart. I think we can trust him," surmised Laura thoughtfully.
"All right," Helen agreed at once.
As soon as Ricky reached Laura and Helen, he let loose some of his power, which formed several Massacring Holy Patterns that temporarily protected them from the wind blades. "Massacring Holy Pattern, protect them!" he ordered. His Gale Mutant gave Ricky the ability to merge with the wind power that the blood-colored wind contained, and this meant that the suppressive force subduing him was weaker than what the two girls received. Hence, he could help the pair against the wind's attacks.
"Thank you!" the two women gasped gratefully. They immediately felt relieved from the continuous damage they had been receiving.
"I can't keep you safe for long. You two have to get out of here," Ricky hastily told them. "I'll find those two tokens myself and come to you. Trust me."
The two women had no choice but to agree, and they immediately left the area. As soon as they were gone, Ricky unleashed more eternal power, which he merged with the gale runes to withstand the suppressive force and the blood-colored wind. With that done, he strode forward confidently and reached the center of the wind in no time.
There, he saw two golden tokens floating in the vortex.
But a strong power seemed to keep the tokens in place, and it didn't look like he could simply pick them up and get them.
"Hmm... It appears that you will have to destroy the power that is enveloping them first before you can get a hold of those tokens," the Dragon Intent Grass remarked.
"It's fine. I'm going to use the eternal power since only a few people know that I cultivate it. That won't give away my identity," Ricky confidently responded.
While he spoke, he simultaneously unleashed all his eternal power, and his body lit up with a golden sheen. He activated the gale runes to resist the blood-colored wind's attacks and then sent a punch flying towards the golden tokens.
'He has such a powerful body, ' Laura commented silently in surprise when she sensed the physical strength that Ricky had just let loose.
In all her experience, she had seen many talented warriors who were famous for refining bodies, but she had not seen anyone who could be on par with Ricky in terms of physical strength.
"You know, even though I cultivate the Mind-clearing Spell, this kid seems very mysterious. I want to know more about him," remarked Helen as her gaze followed Ricky through his movements.
Ricky had released a punch that contained a combination of the eternal power and his physical strength. It landed perfectly on the tokens and shattered the power that was holding them hostage. At last, he got his hands on the two tokens.
"It looks like you have been working on your eternal power a lot recently," the Dragon Intent Grass thoughtfully noted.
"Thanks to it, I can hold my own against this suppressive force," answered Ricky happily. "And now, I have two tokens!"
At this point, he intended to return to Laura and the others, but something unexpected happened once again.
Before Ricky could turn around, countless streams of blood-colored wind suddenly emerged, roiled around violently, and devoured the power in the area.
