Even in such a critical situation, Martin appeared more composed and calmer than he had before.
He was not irritated by Ricky's comments anymore, and he couldn't even recall what Ricky had said before. He was preoccupied with thoughts of revenge and hatred at that moment. As the killing aura exuded from within him, an atmosphere of horror dominated the entire area. He was becoming nothing but an emotionless killing machine. All he could think about was how he wanted to smash Ricky into pieces.
"Since I can't break your light power now, I will take my revenge after you make a breakthrough," Martin said with an unfathomable smile.
"What happened to him? Why did he still appear composed despite the fact that he couldn't break Ricky's light power?" Seeing Martin's sudden change in demeanor, Soar and the others could hardly believe their eyes as they stood waiting inside the Mind Palace Model.
"It seems that he has become more strange and powerful than before," Terrence mused as a feeling of anxiety overwhelmed him.
"How could that happen? I have a nagging feeling that Martin is not blind at all. I think that he put up a front and tried to fool us with such a dirty trick. I can vaguely sense that there is a potent power within his eyes, but I can't figure out what it is," Samson stated as his face grew serious. Stroking his chin, he lost in thought over the possibilities.
"Really? Are you sure about that?" Soar and Terrence questioned him in confusion upon hearing what Samson said.
"No, it's just a gut feeling. The blood power inside my body that I inherited from my ancestors is able to influence my thoughts, so there is a good chance that I am wrong about that," Samson calmly explained, as he scratched his head. He was greatly puzzled as to what was happening with Martin.
"Since we haven't figured out what is going on with Martin, the only thing we can do right now is wait for Ricky to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. When he succeeds in elevating his strength, no matter how powerful Martin is, I'm pretty sure that defeating him won't be much of a trouble for Ricky," Soar said with a smirk and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Martin ceased to blow his energy towards Ricky's four zones. He kept himself afloat in the air with his legs crossed. He sat quietly, waiting for Ricky to make a breakthrough from his current stage.
At that moment, the process was of critical importance to Ricky. Both his accumulation of strength and his understanding of enlightening power had surpassed a lower spiritual king. Ricky had a mixed feeling of excitement and fear as he realized that he was just one step away from victory. Although the future of the fight was promising for him, Ricky still thought that it was best to err on the side of caution.
Clenching his teeth, he prepared himself for the last stage. He needed to concentrate all his power to help him overcome the last obstacle before becoming a middle spiritual king.
Transferring the power of his four zones, Ricky summoned all sorts of enlightening powers inside his body and fused them with the innate strength of his elixir field. Three kinds of potent powers turned into a sharp cone and shot towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, an invisible barrier came from out of nowhere and kept on falling onto Ricky's cone. They landed heavily on its surface, ruthlessly suppressing his power which emitted from the cone. The barrier was so intense that it seemed impossible for anyone to endure such pressure.
"Break it!" Ricky suddenly roared as his hands closed into tight fists.
In the next second, the power of the cone penetrated everything in the vicinity, flooding towards the invisible barrier.
Sensing the destructive force of Ricky's counterattack, they were all agape in horror. Before they could blink their eyes, they heard the crack of the barrier in the distance. After the invisible barrier broke, it turned into a thin film and disappeared without a trace from in the air. In the aftermath of the fierce collision, everything suddenly felt clear and fresh to Ricky again. That experience made him feel brand-new. Giddy with excitement, he noticed that his elixir field had been extended.
All of a sudden, his strength and all sorts of enlightening powers inside his body underwent significant changes.
There was no doubt that, after all that fighting and struggling, Ricky had finally become a worthy middle spiritual king.
Boom! Boom! A deafening sound was heard coming from Ricky, shattering the silence. A mighty aura, which was nothing less potent than Martin's, filled the entire area with terror. Slowly getting to his feet, Ricky opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings.
Although anger and bitterness had preyed upon him continually during the process, he was still filled with energy. A domineering aura exuded from within him and he was full of intense and furious fighting spirit.
"It feels so good to have such mighty power!" Ricky couldn't help but marvel at the destructive force of his innate power.
At that moment, Ricky felt like there was something strange about his existent space. He felt a chill of fear go down his spine as an oppressive feeling that came from the supreme enlightenment suddenly overtook him.
Although Ricky had just become a middle spiritual king, he already possessed absolute power, which was equal to the top level of a middle spiritual king's strength. In the Land of Legacy, one could not exist in such an area if they were at a higher rank than the top level of a middle spiritual king. That was the reason why Ricky felt such strong oppression after elevating his strength.
