What Ricky said really shocked them. To be exact, it was what he was proposing that really took them by surprise.
Was Ricky really a genius in their eyes? Yes, he was! That went without saying!
But they knew Ricky's strength and the history of his timeline in Blood Purification. So, if Ricky wanted to challenge Caleb and Elvis, it was impossible for it to be an evenly matched battle!
All of them were at the peak of ninth grade of Blood Purification. Even if Ricky had the ability to challenge his superiors, he would at least have to reach the eighth grade of Blood Purification. After all, the ninth grade was the highest level in this realm!
And both of them were the strongest in this realm.
"Ricky, that's not funny at all!" Caleb sneered. "It's like you're telling us that you never looked up to us in the first place!"
"Ricky, let me do it!" Autelan reminded Ricky in a deep voice. He too thought that this proposal was inappropriate.
If he were in Caleb and Elvis' shoes, he would also think Ricky was belittling him.
Ricky had spent a costly amount to invite Caleb and Elvis. There was no need to provoke them at this point, because it was definitely against Ricky's goal!
What was more, in such a situation, Caleb and Elvis would not show mercy in the battle. Even if Autelan was present, he might not be able to stop them in time!
"It's just a pure curiosity on my part. I mean no offense at all!" Ricky smiled earnestly.
At the same time, he also said to Autelan confidently, "Autelan, you can trust me. I don't think I've disappointed you yet!"
"Alright! Be careful!" Autelan said reluctantly. Although he didn't think Ricky could succeed, he still held out some hope for this warrior who had surprised everyone again and again.
"Well! Since you are so 'confident' about this, we'll accept your challenge!" Caleb and Elvis agreed, both still a little peeved. They had decided to teach Ricky a lesson for his arrogant attitude.
Moreover, this situation had hurt their dignity...
"Just tell me, which one of us do you want to fight?" Caleb said coldly. He was already imagining how they could humiliate Ricky next.
"Since I want to test both of you, of course I'd like you to fight with me together!" Ricky responded with a smile.
"How could he be so foolish!?"
"You are so arrogant and conceited!"
Caleb and Elvis shouted angrily at this.
It was obvious that Caleb and Elvis and even Heather and Edgar thought Ricky was too bold in his suggestion. Autelan wanted to hold Ricky back.
'It's arrogant for him to say that!' Autelan thought to himself. 'Oh well, I won't interfere now. It's a good time to dispel Ricky's arrogance through Caleb and Elvis. And let him realize that there are people who are better than him.'
"Boom!" At the next moment, Elvis lurched forward. The power of water from spiritual energy whirled around his right fist. Then he qucikly threw a punch at Ricky's face.
'Come on, let's try my new skills!' Ricky murmured to himself, smiling mischievously.
