"Oh? Who is that anyway? I'm very curious to know," Ricky asked curiously upon hearing Jasper's words.
Jasper was a peerless genius who had very high standards for appreciating other warriors. Thus, he only appreciated and looked up to only a few of them. But hearing that Japer was going to introduce another warrior to him, Ricky was sure that this certain person must be powerful enough to even be introduced by Jasper. This was because he knew that Jasper would never introduce anyone weak to him, not now, not ever.
"Chill out. You'll know when you see him in person. And aside from that, I can assure you one thing: this one would never refuse you if you throw down a challenge at him," Jasper replied in a tone of fact.
"Hmm...I'm getting curious by the minute and I'm starting to look forward to meeting him as soon as possible," Ricky said with eagerness wrapped on his smiling face.
Not long after, Ricky, Soar, and Jasper headed to their destination.
But as they talked and laughed happily along the way, numerous disciples of the Oriental College who saw them gossiped about them secretly.
"No way! How could Jasper, a peerless genius, and Ricky, an ace genius, get along pretty well? I can't believe this! They don't even look like they are rivals at all!"
"You are right! Maybe this probably happens between them only. They must have put a great value at the chance to meet each other. Otherwise, they would not have become friends at all."
"Although Jasper is a little bit arrogant and aggressive, he has always been nice to us. He is always so kind and pleasant to us when we see him."
"Yes. And now that they are friends, I think that Ricky must be as kind as Jasper! If possible, I even believe that we can try to get closer to him. After all, he is an ace genius. Oh, this is so exciting, and I just can't wait!"
But some other disciples did not share the same excitement with them as some disciples showed resentful looks when they saw Ricky and Jasper were getting along pretty well. This was no surprise. After all, these were the warriors from the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce.
Never had they ever imagined that Ricky and Jasper would become friends. After all, a nation couldn't have two queens. But based on what they just saw, it seemed that they were just getting on well.
'Damn it! How is it possible for them to become friends? They were supposed to be rivals! How could they get along so peacefully?' those disciples cursed inwardly as they hated the fact that the two had become friends.
Meanwhile, Ricky, Soar, and Jasper had already arrived at a small canyon located in the territory of the Oriental College. Many trees with sword-shaped leaves inside the small canyon made the whole area very unpleasing to their eyes.
The moment they entered the canyon, Ricky had already sensed a strong cold and murderous intent emitting from those sword-shaped leaves that swarmed the area.
This kind of invisible intent that the sword-like leaves reeked of was much stronger than the sword light, which meant that the owner of this small grove had already improved the Light Apperception in that place into the Intent Apperception. And this alone was such a big progress.
Ricky could also feel that the owner of the land already had a deep comprehension of the Intent Apperception.
'The Intent Apperception follows the Light Apperception when it comes to the weapons' strength. It seems that I must strive to improve my saber light into the saber intent!' Ricky murmured to himself in his heart.
Whoosh! Whoosh! But as soon as they landed their feet on the canyon, an invisible ferocious storm rushed towards the three warriors. As a result, all the trees rustled due to the storm and the sword-shaped leaves began to fall on the ground.
Ricky and Soar were nonchalant about what was happening at first. But a few seconds later, they found something interesting as the leaves fell faster and faster. Moreover, the power of the sword intent contained in those leaves became stronger and stronger by the minute.
Afterwards, enlightening power suddenly gushed out from the leaves which then transformed into sharp swords. Suddenly, these leaves began to rush towards them at full speed as if they were aching to kill them and send them to their tombs.
This, however, was an obvious sign that the owner of the canyon had already expected that guests were coming to his land. Thus, he controlled the sword intent that lingered on the leaves to attack the visitors.
"Ah, nothing new here. He always does that to his visitors," Jasper explained as he saw those swords dashing towards where they stood.
But before his voice faded, Jasper released his Golden Enlightenment and transformed it into a giant palm in order to resist the enlightening swords that were transformed from the leaves.
