Chapter 345 Sky Manor''s Small World
"I know all about the little fight you had with Maxine outside the gate. You defeated her nearly
immediately, which indicates your true strength. Very good!" said the Chief of the Sky Manor
approvingly, looking at Ricky''s confused expression.
"However, you also need to ept a challenge and prove yourself if you want to join the Royal Sky
Guard. Every warrior who wants to join the Royal Sky Guard has to undergo it. What''s more, the
challenge may be more difficult because of the conflict between you and Maxine," she added.
"To be a Royal Sky Guard is moreplicated than I think," Ricky muttered under his breath at this.
"In addition, you will earn some rewards if you win in the challenge. The more sessful you are, the
more rewards will be yours for the taking!" the Chief exined to him.
"Chief, I''m looking forward to it. I''m ready for the challenge," Ricky replied, nodding as a smile bloomed
on his face. After all, he never passed up an opportunity for a reward!
He was quite confident that he''d be able to win all of them in one sitting!
"I must say that based on what I''ve gauged of your power, the challenge will be easy for you. But
Maxine may have something in store for you. Be careful!" Kristen warned.
"Kristen, we''ve known each other for a long time. You know my power very well, don''t you? Do you
think there is anyone who can stop me from the Royal Sky Guard?" Ricky said calmly and confidently,
trying to reassure her.

"You are wildly arrogant, but I of course hope that your strength is great enough to win the challenge,"
the Chief said as her brow furrowed in slight annoyance at Ricky''s words to Kristen.
"I won''t let you down!" Ricky muttered determinedly.
Kristen felt a little helpless about Ricky. She had known him and his character for a long time. To most
people, he looked mild and gentle, but in reality he was very proud and even a little arrogant. But he
wasn''t aggressively arrogant. After all, he had the power to back this up!
She bit her tongue. As Ricky had guessed, she didn''t believe that there was anyone of the Royal Sky
Guard who could stop him from winning the challenge, even the warrior whom Maxine had asked for
help.
"In that case, you will begin your challenge in three days," the Chief dered, her eyes bright with
expectation.
Afterward, Ricky followed Kristen to the yard where she and Tyson cultivated. It was Ricky''s turn to
cultivate here.
Originally, he mainly nned to choose some advanced cultivation methods for himself. But now that
he needed to prove himself qualified to be a member of the Royal Sky Guard, he had to put off this
search.
During these three days, he continued to reinforce his level. He was at the seventh grade of Bone
Reinforcement.
After all, he had suffered some after-effects after hisst breakthrough reaching the seventh grade of
Bone Reinforcement. He needed to focus more in reinforcing his level, so he wisely chose to stay in the
seventh grade of Bone Reinforcement for longer than usual and only make a breakthrough to the
eighth grade of Bone Reinforcement once he sessfully eliminated all the after-effects.
How time flew by! Three days had passed quickly. It was finally time for Ricky to prove himself.
This time, Tyson apanied Ricky. Kristen had begun her cultivation inplete seclusion to
recover her sight as soon as possible. She was very confident in Ricky''s capabilities, which was why
she didn''t bother attending the challenge. She knew he had it in the bag!
The two men arrived at the pce of the Sky Manor. Then, following the Chief, they proceeded to a
secret ce which was a small hill in the depths of Sky Manor.
In front of the hill, there were two old, ck doors made of iron.
Ricky sensed the array that was hidden here. He could tell that he would quickly turn into dust should it
be activated.
''It seems that this is a secret ce in Sky Manor, '' Ricky thought to himself.
"Russell, do you see the iron door in the hill? Behind it, you will find a Small World," the Chief
exined, pointing in its direction.
"A Small World?" Ricky was startled to hear this.
He had heard of Small Worlds before. It was said that they were separated from continents and were
independent dimensions, like a piece of an ancient battlefield. They were apparently about the same
size as a city.
Unlike the pieces of an ancient battlefield, a Small World would stay connected with the continents
forever as long as it wasn''t attacked.
The warriors who were able to create Small Worlds were at least at the level of a demi-spiritual
emperor! It took tremendous power to make something like it.
''The ancestors of Sky Manor may be the demi-spiritual emperors!'' Ricky spected to himself
curiously.
Tyson could tell that Ricky''s mind was racing. He exined, "Demi-spiritual emperors and warriors who
are superior to demi-spiritual emperors take up only a small percent of all continental creatures during
every era.
However, the universe has been existing for a long time. The number of demi-spiritual emperors and
warriors who are higher than demi-spiritual emperors were quite considerable. They created a lot of
Small Worlds when they were alive.
As time passes, the Small Worlds of the continents have be countless. Therefore, if the innate
warriors want to set up innate forces, they look for a ce where a Small World exists.
A Small World is a very desirable ce for innate warriors to set up their forces, after all.
The innate forces each have their own Small World."
"Oh, I see," Ricky said softly, enlightened by Tyson''s fascinating exnation.
"In that case, the Small World is more likely a secret ce of forces. So..." Ricky asked curiously as he
turned his eyes to the Chief.
She understood what Ricky meant by the expression on his face. She said nonchntly, "I believe that
you have sensed the array around here, which is only controlled by me.
If I cease to hold control over it, even a lower spiritual king would be killed by it, much less you."
"I understand," Ricky said as he frowned.
He finally understood why it wasn''t a big deal for the Royal Sky Guards to know this much about this
Small World. It was because they didn''t know the exact location of this Small World at all!
"Come on! Let''s begin. Let me know what your real power is," the Chief said as she waved her right
hand. The old iron door swung open gradually, before Ricky and Tyson were shoved into it.
As their bodies shook, Ricky found that he and Tyson were now in another world.
There were many trees, flowers, and grassy fields in this world. It looked so peculiar. The sky was
round and the ground was square, covered by dense nts. The center was shaped like a big basin.
However, what attracted Ricky was two other things.
First of all, the spiritual energy of the Small World was about three times as densepared to the
normal world. Cultivating here would consequently speed up the process by three times as well!
"The Small World is really amazing!" Ricky sighed.
The second thing that caught his eyes was the huge golden staircase in the center of the Small World,
which rose several hundred meters high. Ricky counted and found that there were thirty-six steps, and
he saw that there was a huge golden que at the top of the staircase.
Then Ricky looked closer and saw that there were thirty-five names on the golden que, including
Tyson''s and Kristen''s!
