Baron's eyes had shone with confidence before the start of the fight. But his emotions went downhill—from confidence to desperation, to fear, to disbelief. He could not believe what he got himself into this time. With all the mixed emotions that he was feeling, he roared his heart out. "What is happening? No way. This is not supposed to happen! I must be dreaming!
You are a peerless genius! How could it even be possible!?"
Baron was also a genius. However, he was trained by a relatively weak organization. So there was no way he could be a match for a peerless genius like Ricky. This was because a peerless genius always had a strong force to back him up at any time. Even if Ricky did not have any support for the time being, numerous powerful forces would still offer to support him. And from that point on, Baron realized that his organization and family would never be able to compete with Ricky or his support.
This situation was too much for Baron to bear that he was already going out of his mind.
The next moment, he lifted his head high up and roared into the air out of grief. Then suddenly, his body grew bigger and bigger as it became inflated. And right before everyone's eyes, he was already changing his shape!
"You are...you are a spiritual king beast!" Ricky exclaimed with wide eyes as he looked at Baron.
The next moment, he also activated his strength to limit his resistance with his opponent. This was done because when a spiritual king beast showed its real beast body, its strength would be stronger than its strength in human form. Clearly, Baron was transforming into the beast body. Moreover, he was wild now, which indicated that he would grow much more powerful.
"Humph! Still trying to fight against me, huh? Now that you've already gone crazy, I will make you sober by beating the shit out of you!" Ricky stated in a cold voice when he saw Baron intend to launch another attack against him.
But Baron was not to be defeated easily as he responded with a loud roar. Then, in just a few seconds, he had already transformed into a big black bear. A white moon hung above his head while it released a very strong and powerful aura.
"Oh, he's a member of the Moon Bear tribe!" Ricky murmured to himself as he recognized this species. The shape of a black bear and the moon were obvious enough for everyone to recognize which tribe Baron belonged to.
As a matter of fact, the Moon Bear tribe did not have a very strong bloodline. After all, a grown bear would only become an upper spiritual king at the most. With this, they were kind of the weakest force among all those organizations who had innate spiritual kings.
No wonder Baron went crazy when he learned Ricky was a peerless genius! Fear and desperation engulfed his every being when he realized that he wouldn't stand a chance against Ricky. And maybe that was also the reason why he also lost his mind.
Seeing Baron caught by madness, all his seniors became very worried about his state. To them, this was a sign of death. If Baron could not get himself together, then he would be trapped, lose all his intelligence, and become a stupid animal who could not think very smartly! In other words, if he would not recover from his state of madness, then he would be unable to practice any cultivation method anymore.
The Oriental College, on the other hand, would not just watch on the side when Baron had already gone rouge about killing Ricky. This was because all of them had already wanted to have Ricky as their new member.
"Damn you, Baron! Why couldn't you just hold it back? Why do you have to act so recklessly?" one of Baron's seniors shouted out of frustration and worry as he saw how Baron behaved.
"That bear seems to be out of control!" the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King said worriedly to the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor.
Both the two spiritual kings noticed that Baron was behaving unusually. In all honesty, they did not care about Baron's safety. But they knew that the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor was a spiritual beast who would always help out his beast juniors. It didn't matter to him if they were geniuses or not. He would help them when they were in danger.
"Oh well, he always seems to get out of control so easily. If he keeps this up, he is doomed to be unable to make great achievement," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor sighed as he shook his head out of disbelief and frustration.
Still, he decided to help Baron. Immediately he sent a message to Ricky through telepathy. "My friend, could you please hold on for a second? Could you do me this favor and just let him go?"
"Oh, sure. No worries. It's my pleasure," Ricky immediately responded as soon as he heard him ask for a favor. Then, he took back his aura and stepped backwards to avoid touching Baron in any manner.
The Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor asked him politely in secret. He did this because he was not that kind of senior who would indiscriminately protect his junior. And Ricky respected a warrior with that kind. That was why he agreed in an instant.
The most important reason, however, was that Ricky did not think of Baron as a threat. He did not care if Baron would end up alive or dead after their supposed fight. If Baron were some kind of really dangerous and powerful warrior such as the Shadow King, Ricky would never let him go that easily.
"And please don't address me your friend. This is too much for me as a junior!" Ricky added.
"Ha-ha! You just did me this favor without any hesitation. You deserve to be called my friend! More than that, you are a peerless genius! I know that you will grow more powerful than me someday in the future," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said as he smiled.
"Thank you. I owe you one. Rest assured that I will help you whenever you need one in the future."
