Buzz! Buzz! The moment they collided, the corridor created by Ricky's runes faded and turned into a strong power, which in turn sank into his fist, making Ricky even more powerful.
The violent collision created an endless blast that rippled through the air, splitting things into pieces.
Those cracks in the air lingered for quite some time. That was just a Small World created by the spiritual emperor, after all. So the forces of nature were not strong enough to have the air restored in a short time.
Ricky's fist had grazed York's shield. The first layer collapsed the first and then the second layer. Fortunately, the blow could not penetrate the third layer.
Boom!
Immediately, the strong auras of the two became turbulent like a flood. Both Ricky and York were charging at each other like in mad rage, raising swirls of dust in the air.
In the blink of an eye, they met, so did their fists.
Bang! Bang! They stopped as their fists collided. The swirls of dust rose high into the sky like a spout from the ground.
"You have lived up to your reputation as a peerless genius. The fact that you can challenge a spiritual king as a demi-immortal is impressive, to be honest. If you were also an innate spirit, then I don't think I'd stand a chance against you for even one bout," York claimed as he was surrounded by his earth power.
"But you know what? You are being over-confident though you are a peerless genius. You can challenge a spiritual king. But that doesn't mean that you can defeat him!"
"I'm being over-confident? I don't think so. I will prove it to you that a peerless genius can defeat a spiritual king even though he is just a demi-immortal! You will soon know!" Ricky grinned in response.
Roar! Roar! After they finished their conversation, both of them roared out loud. They gathered all their strength on their hands, preparing for the incoming collision using their bodies.
Outside the battlefield, the disciples of the Oriental College were surprised by what was going on inside the Small World. "Indeed, he has confirmed his reputation as a peerless genius! Are we going to have another peerless genius just like Jasper soon?" one of them exclaimed loud.
"Jasper came here a few moment ago, and he has already made an appointment with Ricky to have a fight when the time comes," a fighter on the airship said.
"What? They've already seen each other? And they've made an appointment to fight?" another disciple exclaimed in surprise.
Their faces showed surprise and confusion. "Did Ricky agree to the challenge? That sounds reckless of him! Although he is also a peerless genius, he is still just a demi-immortal!
There is no way he could match up to Jasper!" someone commented. "Yes, he agreed! But they will only fight when Ricky attains the level of an innate spirit."
"We can never know what a peerless genius is capable of. I'm sure Ricky will make great progress and attain the rank of a spiritual king in a short time if everything goes smoothly with him. He came here not long ago, but so far, he has been very impressive," a disciple explained. He looked quite knowledgeable.
"Jasper broke through his current level as a demi-immortal and became a spiritual king in just one year. This might also happen to Ricky, don't you think so? In my opinion, we could soon witness Ricky's breakthrough as well. That would make an exciting fight between the two!"
The rest of the disciples nodded in agreement.
They did not feel jealous of Ricky. They already had Jasper as their first role model, and they had great admiration for a peerless genius. They knew that as ordinary innate spirits, they would never be able to compete in Ricky and Jasper's league. So instead of jealousy, they showed great respect.
