"He's probably not brave either. Maybe, he is just a self-conceited man," Ricky said with a smile.
As he spoke telepathically, he activated the Space-shrinking Pace again, because Curran's attack was nearing his position. In the blink of an eye, Ricky appeared in mid-air.
Curran couldn't believe his eyes when he missed once again. His face reddened in anger and frustration, but he tried again and again because there was no way that he would just give up. He increased his speed to the fastest he could manage and continued to attack Ricky.
Unfortunately, Ricky's speed was faster than his, and now, Ricky was also using the Space-shrinking Pace. At the rate he was going, he wouldn't even be able to touch Ricky's clothes.
"You are such a loser!" Ricky sneered at Curran again. He believed that the best and most effective way to deal with Curran, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, was by jeering at him and humiliating him.
Once he had decided that he would help Amelia, the Chu Clan became his enemies, and he had never shown mercy to his enemies.
Howl! Meanwhile, Curran was enraged after he failed to hit Ricky several times, and it was worsened by the fact that he was starting to become everyone's laughing stock now. 'All because of this guy!' he thought as he roared like a raving beast.
"Who are you?" he asked angrily, as he stopped wasting his energy on his ineffective attacks. He finally admitted to himself that it had become useless, and he wasn't affecting Ricky at all.
"My name is Kenney, and since Amelia saved my life many years ago, I have been living in the Hong Clan." Ricky lied and he found it fairly easy to make up a story. If it was believable was a different story altogether though.
"I heard that you look down upon the members of the Hong Clan, so I just had to come and teach you a lesson."
"Guys, I feel like this Kenney is making up a story!" The disciples of the Hong Clan began to talk telepathically once they heard Ricky's story.
Some of them had lived in the Hong Clan for almost one century, but they had no recollection of Ricky at all. So, of course, they couldn't believe that Ricky was a member of the Hong Clan.
"Maybe he made this story on purpose so that Curran cannot refuse to fight with him, just in case he refused because he wasn't a member of our Hong Clan," some other disciples guessed, and those who heard their theories agreed.
"That's right!"
"Kenney, you're just taking advantage of your movement skill. If you have the guts, come down and fight me properly," Curran said condescendingly. "Don't be a coward anymore. Stop hiding like a sissy."
"Ha-ha, you must be joking. How ridiculous! I have cultivated this cultivation method, and it is a part of my strength. Why should I not use it?" Ricky grinned wildly.
"It seems that you're not very smart. And since you're saying this, I'm sure you won't admit defeat unless I defeat you with my physical strength."
"What do you mean?" asked Curran.
"It's very simple. I never fight a battle that I can't benefit from. I will no longer use my movement skills, and I will fight with you with my hands. But if you lose, you have to crawl out of here like a dog!" Ricky answered with a big grin plastered on his face.
"What if you lose?" Curran asked coldly. His sharp eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Whatever you want. It's up to you!" Ricky replied lightly like he didn't care at all. He appeared confident that he would win, which irritated Curran even more.
"Okay!" Curran agreed. He didn't think that Ricky could defeat him, because Ricky hadn't reached the demi-spiritual emperor realm.
"Ricky, why did you agree to that?" Amelia asked as she was worried that Ricky was underestimating his opponent.
"Don't worry. He isn't strong enough to make me take this seriously," Ricky said carelessly.
He landed in front of Curran and said in a flat tone, "You can attack first."
"But what if you use your movement skill in the battle?"
