''What? Unfair?'' The Luxurious Emperor sneered. ''Are you kidding me? There is no such thing as justice in this world. We all live by the law of the jungle! How can a spiritual emperor be so naive?"
''I'll tell you what—justice does exist in the eyes of the Oriental College, whether you want to admit it or not, '' the Oriental Emperor replied coldly.
''Really? Their battle of life and death has already begun. If you disobey the rules and interfere in this battle, the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce will not just sit idly by twiddling our thumbs, '' the Luxurious Emperor snorted, ready to fight with the Oriental Emperor at any moment.
''Will the three spiritual emperors get into a fight?'' The surrounding creatures looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.
''It's probable, I think. If you were the Luxurious Emperor, and the Oriental College had a peerless genius and an ace genius under their control, what would you do?''
''I can see what you mean. Maybe that is also the reason why the Bright Emperor and the Luxurious Emperor ganged up on Ricky.''
''I believe you already have the answer as to why we have teamed up. So, make your choice now. Only one of those two geniuses can survive.'' The Bright Emperor easily confessed what his intentions were.
'I am at their mercy just because they are spiritual emperors and have so much power, ' Ricky thought to himself in indignation, clenching his fists tightly.
''I believe in you, Ricky. You will be able to surpass them in less than ten years, and they will pay for their insolence when that day comes, '' Tina said, trying to cheer Ricky up.
Tina was born to a substantial family with strong men in it, so she understood the powerful potential of an ace genius. After spending time with Ricky for a long time, she had developed confidence in Ricky.
''I'd never abandon any of my disciples from the Oriental College. If you want to take their lives, you have to defeat me first, '' the Oriental Emperor said, gathering up his ruling power.
''Maybe I will lose the fight today and the Oriental College will be dismissed. If I am able to escape, then I shall make your forces pay for your actions.''
''Are you threatening us?'' the Luxurious Emperor asked coldly.
The Bright Emperor was planning to retreat at that point. His intention could be detected in the depths of his golden eyes.
He believed that the Oriental Emperor meant what he said. By teaming up with the Luxurious Emperor, he might be able to defeat the Oriental Emperor. They could not stop him from escaping because they were evenly matched in power, though.
If they let the Oriental Emperor escape, then their forces would be in danger. That meant that there was no way to stop a spiritual emperor from assassinating their disciples.
The Bright Emperor was not willing to witness an ace genius grow stronger in the Oriental College, though.
''So what? Didn't you first provoke me?'' the Oriental Emperor replied coldly.
''It seems that the Oriental Emperor and your friends from the Oriental College think very highly of you. They choose to protect you even when faced with powerful enemies, '' Tina said in surprise.
''Maybe justice does exist in the world of martial arts, just like the Oriental Emperor said. I truly was lucky to meet him, '' Ricky said.
'What does justice really mean to me? Should I always keep justice in my heart?' Ricky sank into deep thought.
''You can think about all of this later. Your present task is to become stronger. That's the only thing that counts right now, '' Tina said.
''You're right, Tina, '' Ricky agreed.
