Puffs of air blew from Ricky's lips. He couldn't believe that he had belittled the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula before. Even though Seth wasn't the strongest warrior among the demi-immortals, he was talented for his level. The strengths Seth had activated were definitely stronger than Ricky's.
But with the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula, Ricky only felt a bit of pain when he blocked Seth's attack. He didn't even get injured. He started to think that he almost became invincible when he faced someone like Seth.
The fact that he didn't sustain any damage boosted his confidence, and he even looked at Seth with disdain.
He knew that he couldn't defeat Seth, but he knew that Seth couldn't hurt him, either.
Ricky's gut feeling told him that most of the demi-immortals couldn't inflict any serious injuries on him, except if they were at the peak of demi-immortal level.
"How could he... I can't believe it! He could withstand my attacks because of that stupid body refining method. Why is it so powerful?" Seth snarled. He was shocked when he saw Ricky had no injuries at all—but soon enough, rage got the better of him.
While he didn't use his ace, he had gathered all his strength to throw Ricky a hard punch. He had even threatened to kill Ricky with that punch, so now he was embarrassed when Ricky didn't get hurt at all.
'I've been told that the body refining cultivation method he's cultivating is the Snow Sects's best and most precious cultivation method. It seems that it's true. It's so powerful!' Brent thought in amazement. His eyes drifted to Ricky, whose body had turned into gold.
There was no hint of despair in his eyes now.
Brent had also realized that although Ricky was no match against Seth, Seth couldn't defeat Ricky either because of the latter's powerful body refining cultivation method. Not to mention, Ricky had a large Wind Hole as well.
'Ricky, you're just like a miracle, ' Felicia thought. She gazed at him as well, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
'Finally, the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula's true power has recurred again!' Grace thought excitedly with a grin. 'By the time he becomes a demi-immortal, I'm sure that his talent and Nine-degree Body Refining Formula will enable him to challenge innate spirits, ' thought Grace.
She couldn't wait for the moment they would find out what Ricky was truly capable of when he reached being a demi-immortal.
Meanwhile, Seth was envious of Ricky and the fact that he had such a great body refining cultivation method. He had read records about the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula in some of the books in his clan's collection. He had also learned about it during the investigation he had carried out on Ricky.
He knew that this cultivation method would enable demi-immortals to challenge innate spirits. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, his envy of Ricky only grew more.
Seth often got easily envious of another genius, especially now since Ricky was his sworn enemy.
"Huh! Body refining... I don't think you have enough spiritual energy to activate it and withstand all my attacks!" Seth roared. Wrath filled every fiber of his being until his eyes turned red.
As Seth gathered all his strength again, his momentum reached its peak. His whole body was engulfed in flames. He was so furious that his momentum seemed to be greater than Ricky's.
After he gathered enough power, Seth gave his all and threw Ricky another powerful punch.
Even though Ricky knew that he couldn't defeat Seth, he still wanted to fight him because he was curious about how powerful the Nine-degree Body Refining Formula was. And so, he didn't ask Grace to help him.
Of course, Ricky flung back and landed heavily on the ground after every attack. But despite that, he was like a cockroach that Seth couldn't kill. Every time Ricky fell to the ground, he stood up right away and got prepared for the next attack.
Ricky continued to attack ceaselessly like a rascal, which obviously pissed Seth off and made him even more furious.
Like Seth had said, it was true that Ricky didn't have enough energy to fight Seth for a long time. Besides, Ricky had just reached the ninth degree, so he hadn't mastered it well yet. After several more attacks, Ricky had grown a bit weary.
