Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 317

Luckily, when the innate spiritual king launched the attack, Ricky had already urged the Chaotic Fire Zone and escaped that valley. The innate spiritual king was left furious as he didn't catch Ricky.

At this moment, Kristen and Tyson both came back from the shock and turned their eyes to Ricky, knowing that Ricky would explain to them. They were gasping their breaths but were eager to hear Ricky's explanations. Heaving a deep sigh, Ricky met their gaze with confusion in their eyes.

"Kristen, Tyson, I know how confused you are right now. But first, let me introduce myself again before I explain this zone and everything that happened." Gazing at the two, Ricky smiled and immediately took the mask away, revealing his real face. The moment Kristen and Tyson saw his face, a flustered and shocked look unveiled from their faces.

This was the decision Ricky made, exposing the Chaotic Fire Zone and facing Kristen and Tyson in his true identity. It might seem a rushed thing to do, but he had to reveal himself for another significant purpose.

In addition, Kristen and Tyson had proven their worth to Ricky, so he didn't find any reason to not trust them. In his heart, he had known what kind of persons Kristen and Tyson were.

If neither of them was sincere, it could only be that either they were really good at pretending, or Ricky was a super idiot. It would have been foreseen by Ricky a long time ago already if they were frauds.

"You... You are..." Tyson jabbered and could not believe the instant change from a familiar face to a strange one. Now, his mind became even more chaotic than earlier because of what he was witnessing.

"Tyson, he is Ricky. Ricky from the Snow Sect who goes against the Realm of Wildness," Kristen said, which was supposed to come from Ricky himself. To Ricky's and Soar's surprise, Kristen was not shocked but calmly told the truth to Tyson, who was currently lost in bafflement.

"Ricky? How is this possible? It's too surreal! Are you really him?"

Tyson said with a serious tone.

"Kristen, you seem to have known my identity for a long while. How and since when did you know about it?" Slightly shocked, Ricky smiled and asked Kristen.

"Well, it wasn't obvious at first. But when you said you could cast, I began to suspect it, considering that your ability can challenge above your level. So after you cast two weapons, I saw your excellent Pounding Skill, I could 50% confirm your identity," Kristen started explaining calmly.

"Until there was a time where I had the opportunity to confirm my suspicions. When you used your weapon casting skills to conquer Trent, I've had completely identify you," Kristen finished.

"It seems that I'm not careful enough. What a pity," Ricky said to Kristen flatly, feeling quite disappointed.

However, he was relieved at the same time because it was Kristen who found out. Since this moment, Ricky had more trust in Kristen, because she did not say anything to anyone after she confirmed his identity, which was the strong evidence that Kristen really treated him as a friend. It was lucky for him to find this kind of person who understood that what he had back then was necessary to be hidden.

"Yes, you are. You've let your guard down,"

Kristen nodded in a poker face.

"Fortunately, it's you who found out about it. Or was it really a fortunate one?" Ricky replied playfully, and Kristen could only roll her eyes and bite her lips to prevent herself from smiling. After a few moments, she returned her gaze back to Ricky.

As she met Ricky's smiling face again, she couldn't help but smile back. The two looked at each other intensely while smiling, which indicated their mutual trust beyond words.

For Kristen, she didn't care whether the man standing in front of her was called Russell or Ricky. All she really cared about was that he was her friend. It was always the same person, no matter how many times he changed his name and face.

"Hey Tyson, do you understand now? I'm sorry if I had to keep it from you,"

Ricky said with apologetic eyes, as turned his gaze onto Tyson, who was still a little shocked.

"More or less," Tyson muttered in a low voice. It was still an unbelievable incident for him, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Later, walking to Ricky, Tyson looked him up and down, from head to toe, and asked again, "Russell, are you really Ricky?"

"Tyson, I'm 100 percent real. I am really Ricky,"

Ricky replied with a soft chuckle. Tyson's face was too hilarious that he couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Kristen knew it all along. The ability to compete above your level, the weapon casting skill, and the cultivation method of body refining. How could I miss all these clues? I'm so stupid! I was always left behind!" Tyson complained to himself and scratched his head. "It was too obvious, but I didn't even have a suspicion. Foolish me..."

"It's okay, Tyson. Now..." Ricky gently patted Tyson's head and grinned.

"Now I only know that you are my friend, a friend I can trust everything with. I have known you as, so now, Russell or Ricky, whichever your name is, nothing will change," Tyson became serious, being sincere with his words to Ricky.

"Ha-ha!"

Then, he became serious and said, "I will make sure that you will like Ricky too. My real self. This time, there won't be any pretention anymore."

At the back of his mind, he could only reminisce what his life used to be. It was so lonely to become a powerful master in the martial arts world but it would not be the case anymore with true friends on the way.
