Chapter 298 A Once-in-a-million Opportunity Showed Up
Chapter 298 A Once-in-a-million Opportunity Showed Up
It was safe to make the conclusion that, after three months' cultivation, Ricky had made great progress
in his martial arts skills.
He was no longer simply at the peak of the fourth grade of Bone Reinforcement. By that point, Ricky's
combat power had reached the peak of the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement. Also, he was able to
make a breakthrough at some point very soon and become a strong warrior at the fifth grade of Bone
Reinforcement.
Meanwhile, he also had refined his body to the peak of the Seventh Degree of the Nine-degree Body
Refining Formula. Relying on the skill at such a level, he was confident that he could escape unscathed
in battles with most ordinary warriors at the eighth grade of Bone Reinforcement.
As for weapon casting, Ricky's casting skills could be compared to those of a casting master at the
Demi-spirit Level. Since he was not a demi-immortal yet, he could not launch any innate power or cast
weapons at the Demi-spirit Level.
Weapons could only be called weapons at the Demi-spirit Level when they contained more than ten
innate powers launched by a demi-immortal. Without that, they could only be called weapons at the
advanced Mortal Level.
In order to allow the innate powers to be immersed into a weapon completely, a casting master at the
Demi-spirit Level had to make use of their innate power and their own Pounding Skill during the casting
process.
Ricky's Iron Destroyer was a good example because it was a strong weapon cast by a casting master
at the Spirit Level. The innate powers it contained were real innate powers; they were much stronger
than the powers contained in other weapons at the Demi-spirit Level.
Ricky had used up all the innate powers hidden in his Iron Destroyer, so it had been reduced to a much
less powerful weapon. It was only a little sharper than a weapon at the advanced Mortal Level.
Of course, it would be very simple to eventually recover its full power. His Iron Destroyer had to be
nourished by innate powers. Nevertheless, Ricky couldn't do that until he made a breakthrough and
become a demi-immortal.
Fortunately, he met Doris--a super-strong warrior. Ricky naturally took out his Iron Destroyer, and
asked her to help nourish it back to its former power by using her innate powers.
Doris helped him without any hesitation. She told Ricky, that after a day of nourishing his weapon
through her innate power, the powers hidden in his Iron Destroyer would be enough to help him
become an innate spirit warrior.
Therefore, it was reasonable to believe that Ricky had a rich harvest during his three months'
cultivation in the small bamboo forest.
At the same time, a sort of change began to take place in the spiritual energy of the Chaotic Region. All
the warriors of the Chaotic Region could obviously detect that such spiritual energy was becoming
stronger.
From the first day of the change to its fifth day, the spiritual energy of the Chaotic Region was three
times what its original power had been.
Both Ricky and Doris in the small bamboo forests had also detected such a change.
"Doris, what's going on?" Ricky asked doubtfully.
"If I'm not guessing wrong, there should be a secret place covered by thick spiritual energy somewhere
within the Chaotic Region. It has caused such an obvious change somehow. It might be indicating that
the rare opportunity to become an innate spiritual king is becoming possible," Doris analyzed the
change slowly.
"The rare opportunity to become an innate spiritual king?!" Ricky repeated in a low voice. Startled and
excited, he had eagerness in his eyes and just couldn't wait to catch the opportunity for himself.
After that, Tina, the chief leader of the Dahlia Palace, visited the small bamboo forest and had a private
talk with Ricky. "Ricky, you must have noticed the change of the spiritual energy that happened in the
last few days. The change is an omen, indicating that the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king
in the Chaotic Region has showed up. All the forces at the Chaotic Region are now preparing to seize
that once-in-a-million opportunity. I am here to inform you of the situation," Tina said directly.
"Thank you, Miss Lian. It seems it's high time for me to go back to the Manor Palace to get ready for
that," Ricky said at once.
"Ricky, I thought I told you to call me Tina, my given name. Don't use Lian, it's my family name," Tina
said in an unhappy tone when she heard Ricky still call her Miss Lian again.
"Ha-ha, sorry for that; I will do as you wish, Tina," Ricky said briskly and laughed.
"Now, that sounds more appropriate," Tina said with a smile on her face.
In the past three months, Ricky had spent time with Tina every other day, to help her get rid of a little bit
of evil spirit that haunted her. They had gradually got to know each other and became good friends.
What was worth mentioning was that, in the process of helping her dispel the evil spirit, Ricky's mind
and willpower had become more firm.
"So, Tina, when we fight for the rare opportunity later, we'll see each other again. Please go easy on
me when the time comes," Ricky said jokingly with a smile spreading over his face.
"Don't worry! I'm not going to compete for this rare opportunity. I'll just watch how you and others fight
for it. You'd better watch out for the leaders of the other forces!" Tina said mildly. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Oh, right! It's clear to me that you could have reached a much higher realm than an innate spiritual
king by now if not for the evil spirit," Ricky said lightly.
Later, they finished their talk and Ricky bid farewell to Tina and Doris. He left the bamboo forest and
headed for the Manor Palace.
Tina and Doris stayed there and talked further about the situation.
"Tina, do you really want to fight against those warriors for that rare opportunity?" Doris asked seriously
after Ricky left.
"Doris, you should know me very well by now. I'm not interested in fighting for the opportunity at all. I
plan to join the fight, but only in the hope of offering a little help to Ricky. He has made a lot of promises
which he shouldn't have made because of me, so I feel like I owe him," Tina said honestly.
"You are doing the right thing. We should try our best to help him. Remember to crumble up the
Nimbus Jade Tablet I gave to you if you are in danger. If you do that, I will be informed that you are in
danger. Then, I'll get to your side as fast as I can to help you out of danger."
"I understand Doris, thank you!" Tina said gratefully. There was also an imperceptible excitement in her
beautiful eyes because deep inside, she was excited for the opportunity to finally return the favor to
Ricky.
Ricky, however, didn't have the slightest idea that he would receive any help from Tina at that moment.
When he finally returned to the Manor Palace, he was naturally teased by Tyson and the other
members of the Manor Palace. They had thought Ricky had been living it up with the beauties of the
Dahlia Palace. They assumed that he would have been so intoxicated by the women there that he
might have never returned.
Hearing their teasing words, Ricky just laughed and bragged about his experience at the Dahlia
Palace. They soon changed the subject and shifted their attention to a more serious matter.
"Tyson, Kristen, you must have realized that the opportunity to become an innate spiritual king has
become available. It's time for us to fight for it against others in this region," Ricky said seriously.
"Yes, it just showed up earlier than I have expected. If it showed up after I made some more
breakthroughs, this opportunity would be really easy for me to seize. It would be as easy as winking,"
Tyson replied.
Then, Ricky detected that Tyson and the other members had also made significant progress in their
martial arts skills during the last three months.
Kristen's realm had already reached the intermediate stage of the eighth grade of Bone Reinforcement;
Tyson's realm was at the peak of at the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement; Trent had put his full
concentration on weapon casting and was only at the peak of the sixth grade of Bone Reinforcement,
and Bastian's realm now reached the peak of the seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement.
Of course, one of the reasons for the members of the Manor Palace's huge progress was that they had
recently gotten a large number of training resources.
"Bastian, have you found out which place the opportunity is going to show up at?" Ricky asked
doubtfully.
"According to the scouts from a lot of forces, it should appear in a grand canyon in the Chaotic
Mountains. There is the thickest amount of spiritual energy down there; six times the usual amount of
energy," Bastian replied shortly.
After a pause, he added, "I estimate that, in another three or four days, the secret area that has the
opportunity of becoming an innate spiritual king will reveal itself."
"Three or four days?! Then we should set off tomorrow," Ricky said at once. "Please tell our other
members that they should be well-prepared for this event. They should not have to risk their lives
though."
"Leader Russell, I've already told them about it, but in the face of this rare opportunity, no any warrior in
the Chaotic Region is willing to let it go easily," Bastian said honestly.
"Yes, you are right. Give them all some life-saving pills just in case. This is the best we can do for
them," Ricky said.
