Water and fire were opposite elements, and thus, natural enemies. That meant a collision between these two opposing elements would always be intense and devastating. Now, as the flaming seal clashed against the water orb, the battlefield turned into a hellish landscape.
The two potent attacks fought against each other, producing incredibly fatal water and fire ripples that blasted all over the place.
These ripples left wreckage every which way they went, which showed how mighty Ricky's and Fernando's moves were.
The detritus in the air caused by the impact soon settled down, and two figures could finally be spotted through the poor visibility of the airwaves. They were none other than Ricky and Fernando.
It looked like they didn't even pause. They continued using their Omnipotent Skills and relentlessly faced off with each other.
After dozens of rounds of confrontation, they finally jumped away from each other, stopping when they were a safe distance away. Blood dripped from the corner of their lips, and their chests heaved with the effort.
"That was a brilliant tactic! He used the power of sacred fire to restrain my attack containing the water power..." Fernando reflected on their fight, and his eyes narrowed in a somber expression.
Ricky was indeed a formidable opponent now that his cultivation level had increased.
His seven mutant powers and chaotic power had not even entered the scene yet. This was only the tip of the iceberg.
'I guess I will be Ricky's stepping stone. But even though I have no hopes of winning, I will still give this my all. This is an excellent opportunity for me to become an upper spiritual emperor, ' Fernando decided.
The next second, he yelled out, "Orb Water Mutant!"
From between his eyebrows emerged a glowing mark, a sign that he had activated his mutant power.
The moment he released all his water power, the water power surged around him and formed dozens of tiny orbs. At this point, it seemed like he had created countless water orbs.
Although those water orbs were too small to be seen by naked eyes, Ricky felt that each of them contained an enormous amount of mysterious energy.
His face took on a serious expression.
'Since he has the Orb Water Mutant, each tiny orb supposedly contains water power equal to the amount of water in an ocean. At least, that's what I heard. Maybe that is exaggerated, though. I think it's more possible that the amount of water power in each orb is equivalent to the water in a lake.
The water power is even stronger because it contains the power of the Supreme Ultimate!' thought Ricky as he scrutinized the tiny water orbs.
Seeing how powerful Fernando's mutant was, Ricky had to get serious. The mark of chaotic fire emerged from between his eyebrows, glowing with a vibrant shine. He also unleashed the Chaotic Fire Mutant, and its power poured out from his body.
"Finally! Did he just activate one of his mutants?" Fernando murmured to himself.
"I already told you earlier, Fernando. My level is no longer inferior to yours." Ricky started talking in a low voice.
An oppressive atmosphere engulfed the platform as he spoke, like a heavy blanket settling over them.
At the same time, the surrounding disciples watching them erupted in a heated discussion over what was happening. "Do you think Ricky could suppress Fernando if he burst out his seven mutants at the same time? I wonder up to what extent he can do that..."
"If it were us fighting, his seven mutants will definitely be a death sentence. But we never know with these top talents. They never seem to lose."
"But since Ricky has seven mutants, he must spend time on all of them. No matter how talented he is, he will lose to those top geniuses who only focus on cultivating one mutant. As they say, a jack of all trades is master of none."
"Perhaps, that's Ricky's only weakness."
"I guess you are right. However, once he cultivates all his mutants to their extreme, no one can defeat him."
"Indeed, we can't rule out that possibility. We should warn our senior leaders about Ricky, so they wouldn't go after him."
"The odds of successfully robbing him are abysmal, so you are probably right. Once he reaches his maximum potential, even those top forces who messed with him might not be able to bear his anger and vengeance."
However, they stopped discussing shortly, as the situation on the platform heated up again.
When Fernando heard Ricky's words, he didn't bother to answer with his mouth and instead responded with his attacks.
'Anyway, it's too early for this battle to be over. Even if I lose in the end, it's worth it if I can get him to activate his second mutant, ' Fernando contemplated.
As he stepped forward, nearly a hundred water orbs shot out from his body like tiny, watery bullets.
