As one of the Great Dragons, Soar was going to be one of the strongest creatures in the entire world in the future.
Ricky was his savior and he saw Ricky as his brother. That meant that he valued Ricky a lot.
That wasn't the only reason he had a soft spot for Ricky.
To top it all off, the Chaotic Fire Zone inside Ricky had shown Soar that Ricky was even more talented than him.
In fact, that was the main reason why Soar was willing to address Ricky as his brother.
That was also why Soar hadn't left Ricky. He wanted to reward Ricky's kindness, but also wanted to be with someone as talented as he was.

"Nice! You're really capable of things like challenging the spiritual kings," Ricky said excitedly after listening to what Soar had said. Since Soar was already at the Demi-spirit Level, he had figured that Soar was able to challenge the spiritual kings. He was so glad that Soar's positive answer had confirmed his supposition.
As for Soar's compliment, Ricky didn't give it much mind at all.
"Soar, what did you mean by first and second class of the lower spiritual kings?" Ricky asked.
"There are four levels of spiritual kings. From bottom to top, they're the lower spiritual king, the middle spiritual king, the upper spiritual king, and the completed spiritual king," Soar replied. "There are significant differences between the spiritual kings of different levels. It's like the difference between Skin Refinement and Blood Purification," Soar continued.
"Okay." Ricky nodded as he listened.
"There are big differences between the warriors at different grades as well for the lower spiritual kings. There are first-class, second-class, and third-class rankings for them. The lower spiritual kings at the third class are the weakest while the ones at the first class are the strongest among them," Soar continued.
"Of course, the middle spiritual king, the upper spiritual king, and the completed spiritual king classifications are more similar to each other," Soar added.
"However, the different classes' classifications is based on their combat power, not their levels of cultivation," Soar said after a few seconds.
"What do you mean?" Ricky asked in confusion.
"Let's say that there are two lower spiritual kings. One of them is at the first class, and the other is at the third class. Both of them can have breakthroughs and become middle spiritual kings. However, if they battle each other, you'll find that the lower spiritual king at the first class is much stronger than the one at the third class still. The former can kill the latter easily," Soar explained.
"The difference between them reflects in their power when they activate the cultivation method. You could see it as the difference between their comprehensive levels. That difference can actually be made up through a warriors' practice," Soar instructed.
"I see. It means that there are gaps between the spiritual kings' battle effectiveness even if they are at the same level," Ricky said as he began to understand.
"Yes, that's right." Soar nodded.
"So, now you're at the third class of the lower spiritual king level. I think that's enough for us for right now!" Ricky continued.
"Hahaha, do you want to dominate the whole Chaotic Region?" Soar asked.
"Yes, I do. How did you know that though?" Ricky laughed.
"I told you. Even when I was still an egg, I could tell what was happening around me. You can't hide your ambition from me now," Soar said with a smile.
"I should never have put you in the Chaotic Fire Zone. It seems that you know all my secrets because of that," Ricky sighed.
"Don't worry. I won't tell your secrets to anyone," Soar said. "I will hide my identity and pretend to be a beast for now."
After speaking, Soar turned himself into a small red snake and curled himself around Ricky's right arm from his wrist to his shoulder.
"I've heard that innate spiritual beasts are able to change their sizes and now I see that it's true! Is it because of the power of noble innate spirit blood?" Ricky asked. He was a little surprised that Soar could make himself so small.
