Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 479

"Okay," Ricky briefly replied while he nodded his head a few times.

He knew that no matter what the consequence was, he would never give the enlightening mark back to York just because the later claimed to be his friend. Ricky was not that foolish to trust someone whom he barely knew. As a matter of fact, he had been having a difficult time trusting anyone easily after everything that he had gone through. Besides, there was no denying that Ricky was not a very merciful man. And most importantly, he was in dire need of that mark.

After the conversation between them had ended, a mysterious power circled around York and soon enough, he vanished out of that space.

"The very first enlightening mark! Yes! I finally got it!" Ricky exclaimed in excitement while he stared at the enlightening mark which was lying silently on his palm. The longer he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. Somehow, Ricky felt that each time he successfully refined one enlightening mark, his power would improve to a larger extent with the help of his three miracle zones.

"It's time to search for the next mark!" he said to himself while he squinted his eyes in the distance. Determined, he chose a direction that he thought would be the easiest way out. Then, he set off and before long, he was nowhere to be seen.

Outside of the battlefield where Ricky and the others were, a lot of spectators bared witness to what happened.

"My intuition is telling me that this young man is going to make tremendous progress within half a year from now." The Skyward Sword Spiritual King shared his point of view through telepathy. He then added, "His capabilities are still quite limited despite the fact that he is a peerless genius.

So, he still has to improve his powers with each fight so that he can grow stronger if he wants to pass the test and be admitted into our college."

Hearing his thoughts, the Array-shattering Spiritual King commented, "That's probably the real reason why he came to attend our recruitment competition. From what I could see, it would be easy to guess that his purpose is not limited to being a member of the college. No, he wants more than that. It's also his way of enhancing his strength."

"I still remember that Jasper successfully defeated a third-class lower spiritual king who was at his peak condition at that time. I'm actually very curious as to how far this young man could go," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said with utmost interest.

The Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King both giggled a little in amusement before responding, "They are both peerless geniuses. I'm sure he will also surprise us with his potential."

"But we never know what could happen. Differences also exist between peerless geniuses. And those differences could be much further apart with those between the first-class geniuses. Above the peerless geniuses, there are ace geniuses. They are the highest level a genius could reach," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor expounded on his point.

He then added, "However, it has been hundreds of years since an ace genius appeared in the Middle Land. That's why we rarely heard of such titles."

"Geniuses even stronger than the peerless geniuses? That's almost unbelievable," the two spiritual kings both exclaimed with astonishment upon hearing what their senior had just said. They thought that for a powerful genius like that to exist, one would have to be terribly skilled and capable.

Once a peerless genius grew strong, he would become the most powerful warrior on that continent.

"So, what you're saying is that there are different levels of peerless geniuses. May we know just how many are there exactly?" the Skyward Sword Spiritual King asked.

"There are three levels. The first one is the peerless genius at the first level. Evidently, this is the lowermost level. But a person at this level would be able to challenge a third-class lower spiritual king. Jasper is a good example of a warrior at this level. Next, a peerless genius at the second level is able to challenge a second-class lower spiritual king. To some degree, this is actually the highest level. You may feel that it's strange as to why the second level is deemed to be the highest one, right?"

the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said. Then he paused for a few seconds before he continued, "Let me explain. A peerless genius at the third level is able to challenge a first-class lower spiritual king. As a matter of fact, he is very close to being an ace genius. That is why people prefer to consider the second level as the highest. It all comes down to the fact that a peerless genius at the third level is almost considered to be an ace genius already.

Any demi-immortal who could successfully challenge a first-class lower spiritual king definitely has the potential to be an ace genius."

"Oh, we perfectly understand now! That's quite surprising to us. We never expected that there would be different levels of peerless geniuses," the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King responded as they nodded their heads.

"That's quite a huge amount of information, right?" the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said before chuckling a little. Then, he continued, "In fact, there is very little chance in our Eastern Land to have a peerless genius. So it was rare for anyone to talk about this information. It's not strange if you didn't heard of such information."

"You are absolutely right. There is still half a year before the competition comes to an end. For now, why don't you leave and have a good rest? We will take care of everything here," the Skyward Sword Spiritual Emperor suggested.

"Thank you for your kind offer. But I think it would be best if I just stay here. I'm too old now and I won't probably make any further breakthrough. So taking a rest is useless to me. Personally, I prefer to stay here to kill time. This young man is interesting, isn't he? I'm sure it will be very enjoyable in here," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said with a smile.

Then, he hunkered down on the airship. Apparently, he was planning to stay here for the next half year so he could watch Ricky closely.

Seeing the resolve in the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor's eyes, the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual King both decided that convincing him would be useless at that point. So instead, they also hunkered down.
