It was safe to make the conclusion that, after three months' cultivation, Ricky had made great progress in his martial arts skills.
He was no longer simply at the peak of the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement. By that point, Ricky's combat power had reached the peak of the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement. Also, he was able to make a breakthrough at some point very soon and become a strong warrior at the fifth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
Meanwhile, he also had refined his body to the peak of the Seventh Degree of the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula. Relying on the skill at such a level, he was confident that he could escape unscathed in battles with most ordinary warriors at the eighth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
As for weapon casting, Ricky's casting skills could be compared to those of a casting master at the Demi-spirit Level. Since he was not a demi-immortal yet, he could not launch any innate power or cast weapons at the Demi-spirit Level.
Weapons could only be called weapons at the Demi-spirit Level when they contained more than ten innate powers launched by a demi-immortal. Without that, they could only be called weapons at the advanced Mortal Level.
In order to allow the innate powers to be immersed into a weapon completely, a casting master at the Demi-spirit Level had to make use of their innate power and their own Pounding Skill during the casting process.
Ricky's Iron Destroyer was a good example because it was a strong weapon cast by a casting master at the Spirit Level. The innate powers it contained were real innate powers; they were much stronger than the powers contained in other weapons at the Demi-spirit Level.
Ricky had used up all the innate powers hidden in his Iron Destroyer, so it had been reduced to a much less powerful weapon. It was only a little sharper than a weapon at the advanced Mortal Level.
Of course, it would be very simple to eventually recover its full power. His Iron Destroyer had to be nourished by innate powers. Nevertheless, Ricky couldn't do that until he made a breakthrough and become a demi-immortal.
Fortunately, he met Doris--a super-strong warrior. Ricky naturally took out his Iron Destroyer, and asked her to help nourish it back to its former power by using her innate powers.
Doris helped him without any hesitation. She told Ricky, that after a day of nourishing his weapon through her innate power, the powers hidden in his Iron Destroyer would be enough to help him become an innate spirit warrior.
Therefore, it was reasonable to believe that Ricky had a rich harvest during his three months' cultivation in the small bamboo forest.
At the same time, a sort of change began to take place in the spiritual energy of the Chaotic Region. All the warriors of the Chaotic Region could obviously detect that such spiritual energy was becoming stronger.
From the first day of the change to its fifth day, the spiritual energy of the Chaotic Region was three times what its original power had been.
Both Ricky and Doris in the small bamboo forests had also detected such a change.
"Doris, what's going on?" Ricky asked doubtfully.
"If I'm not guessing wrong, there should be a secret place covered by thick spiritual energy somewhere within the Chaotic Region. It has caused such an obvious change somehow. It might be indicating that the rare opportunity to become an innate spiritual king is becoming possible," Doris analyzed the change slowly.
"The rare opportunity to become an innate spiritual king?!" Ricky repeated in a low voice. Startled and excited, he had eagerness in his eyes and just couldn't wait to catch the opportunity for himself.
After that, Tina, the chief leader of the Dahlia Palace, visited the small bamboo forest and had a private talk with Ricky. "Ricky, you must have noticed the change of the spiritual energy that happened in the last few days. The change is an omen, indicating that the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king in the Chaotic Region has showed up. All the forces at the Chaotic Region are now preparing to seize that once-in-a-million opportunity. I am here to inform you of the situation," Tina said directly.
"Thank you, Miss Lian. It seems it's high time for me to go back to the Manor Palace to get ready for that," Ricky said at once.
"Ricky, I thought I told you to call me Tina, my given name. Don't use Lian, it's my family name," Tina said in an unhappy tone when she heard Ricky still call her Miss Lian again.
"Ha-ha, sorry for that; I will do as you wish, Tina," Ricky said briskly and laughed.
"Now, that sounds more appropriate," Tina said with a smile on her face.
In the past three months, Ricky had spent time with Tina every other day, to help her get rid of a little bit of evil spirit that haunted her. They had gradually got to know each other and became good friends.
