Chapter 468 The Selection Competition Was Coming


    Right after he swallowed the Regenerating Grass, Ricky then immediately activated his devouring rune


    to break down and digest the vital energy that was lodged in the grass. Afterwards, he channeled the


    energy into every part of his body to eradicate the after-effects.


    The Regenerating Grass, however, was a King-level Treasure from Heaven and Earth which contained


    thick vital energy. It was said to be the best cure to manage and treat those kinds of after-effects. The


    fatigue, which left him with zero energy to deal with the after-effects. If he had not done this, then he


    would have notpletely recovered from the supposed after-effects.


    Living up to its fame, the Regenerating Grass did an outstanding job of helping Ricky recover in just


    three days.


    Aside from the great quality and treatment from the grass, Ricky''s recovery, however, would not be


    possible if it weren''t for his strong body.


    After his recuperation, he then started to refine his iplete innate power.


    His body hosted about thirty percent of iplete innate power. With this, his next goal was to transfer


    all the power in his body into iplete innate power.


    Normally, it was extremely difficult for any ordinary warrior to sessfully pull that off. But Ricky was


    different for he was, in fact, an extraordinary warrior. And to him, this process would be a piece of cake.


    There were two reasons for saying that Ricky could do it easily. The first reason would be that he had


    already owned three zones for quite a long time, making him proficient with it. This meant that he had


    alreadyprehended the innate power simr to the level ofprehension of an innate warrior.


    With his confidence, he even thought that he could challenge and survive the Thunderstroke Doom.


    The second reason would be that he was already ustomed and had already known and understood


    the enlightening power. This would then make it easier for him to transfer his power into iplete


    innate power.


    That was why Ricky might be capable of gathering one hundred percent of iplete power directly


    and quickly.


    With determination and focus, Ricky then took a deep breath and started his cultivation at once.


    Immediately, he was given a hint by the Source of Golden Body. It reminded him that there would


    always be an energy source for a living creature and that his energy source was obviously from his


    regained spiritual meridian.


    As a matter of fact, all of his power originated from his special spiritual meridian.


    After learning this important piece of information, Ricky then decided to start cultivating with the radical


    energy that was embedded in his spiritual meridian.


    In total, it took him ten days to transform all the radical energy into the iplete innate power.


    This, however, was already perceived as a short time to do such a task.


    After he had sessfully transformed his power in the regained spiritual meridian into the iplete

    innate power, he had spent another whole day to allocate all the iplete innate power into every


    part of his body. He did this in order to limatize his body to the new environment so that it would


    adjust ordingly.


    And at that point, Ricky felt that his power had reached a surprisingly new level ever since he had


    be a demi-immortal.


    ''I''m very curious about my current strength! What could I do with this new-found power? Am I already


    strong enough to defeat an ordinary innate spiritual king?'' he said inwardly with a faint little smile on his


    face. He squinted his eyes as he assessed himself.


    An ordinary spiritual king was deemed to be stronger than a demi-immortal at the peak level, but not


    because the former was stronger than thetter. As a matter of fact, they were almost simr in terms


    of power. An ordinary spiritual king would only be a bit more powerful than a demi-immortal at its peak.


    The differences between the two were theprehensive power and the enlightening power.


    It was said that the gap in terms ofprehensive power was very noticeable. It was simr to the


    almost impossible to bridge without having such an enormous talent. A warrior with higher


    this gap was also the same when it came to the difference of enlightening power.


    On the other hand, after an ordinary spiritual king gained the enlightening power, his strength would be


    erged to a huge extent. A demi-immortal, however, would never be able to defeat the king even if his


    power was at its peak.


    When it came to the strength alone, Ricky''s strength was definitely stronger than many third-ss


    lower spiritual kings.


    But he couldn''tpete with a spiritual king when it came to theprehensive power and


    enlightening power before his refinement. Determined to be the best warrior, he practiced hard to


    improve hisprehensive power and enlightening power in order to narrow the gap by using his


    power from the Body Refining Form and his three zones.


    With such difficulty, it was said that only a warrior with such an extremely strong bloodline or someone


    such as a super powerful genius could do this.


    Soar, for example, had a strong bloodline. More than that, he was considered to be clever and smart.


    So when the time came that he became a demi-immortal, he was surely able to defeat an innate


    spiritual king. And that was one of the most powerful traits a beast like Soar had.


    But there was always a drawback from what the amazing beasts could do. Once theirprehensive


    power reached the peak of their bloodline, it would be much more difficult for them to improve their


    This was because Ricky was undeniably talented. Moreover, he had the power of the Nine-degree


    Body Refining Form and his three zones. With all of the aforementioned, he was confident enough


    that he couldpete with a creature with a strong bloodline.


    ''If only I could fight against an ordinary innate spiritual king! Oh boy, that would be a great way to test


    my abilities, '' Ricky thought to himself.


    Considering the fact that he was still inside his zone and that he had not finished his final task, what he


    wanted was not going to be possible as for now.


    Then, Ricky took out the egg. His next step would be making his Ultimate Golden Body, his cultivation


    method, reach its initial level—the first level of Ultimate Golden Body.


    Considering the fact that this egg was from a holy beast, its energy could help Ricky in more ways that


    he could imagine.


    "I hope that this egg won''t disappoint me! If this doesn''t work, then my two point two million gold coins


    would have been spent for nothing!" Ricky murmured to himself as he fixed his eyes on the egg,


    wishing that it would work on him.


    Then, without wasting any more time, he activated his Massacring Skill and released the massacring


    rune to refine the egg that he held.


    And in a snap, he could see with his own two eyes that the energy inside the egg reacted violently to


    the grilling done by the massacring rune. Then, the energy gushed out from the shell, which was then


    poured into Ricky''s body.


    Meanwhile, Ricky activated the cultivation method of the Ultimate Golden Body and shouted, "The first


    level of Ultimate Golden Body!"


    Immediately, the Source of Golden Body grew exponentially. Golden lights shone brightly at a rapid


    speed. Not long after, its size grew to ten feet long, which was a lot bigger than Ricky.


    But it was very weak, though. It even looked like it could be blown away by a strong breeze.


    Meanwhile, the massacring rune floated in the air around Ricky while it continuously sucked all the


    golden energy from the egg. Ricky then mixed the rune and the energy, pouring the mixture into the ten


    feet long golden body. Then, he activated the cultivation method and embedded the energy into the


    golden body.


    All his efforts were not in vain for he could visibly see his golden body grow sturdier and sparkle more.


    Meanwhile, back in the Oriental City, people were filled with shock and gossip as they finally heard the


    news that a young master and an elder from the Golden Leopard Valley were killed by an unknown


    assant. News spread like wildfire that even though the elder was an upper spiritual king, he still did


    not survive the attack.


    Aside from the death of two warriors, it was also the talk of the town that the spiritual space tool that


    they had won during the action had gone missing.


    It was such a great loss for the Golden Leopard Valley. Not only did they lose their men, but they also


    lost a huge amount of money.


    The leader of the Golden Leopard Valley, Hugo Jin, initiated a search team to look for the murderer.


    However, no matter where they went, they failed to get any clue about who the murderer was. Hugo Jin


    was so angry that he vented his anger out on those weak and small organizations and forces by finding


    fault with them from time to time. Everyone was anxious for Hugo Jin breathed down on their necks.


    The situation was such a mess that none of them would like to keep in contact with the Golden Leopard


    Valley at all.


    The more shocking fact was that the three men, Ricky, Soar, and Tina, just disappeared out of thin air


    and were nowhere to be seen. Those strong organizations had also searched for them day in and night


    out at every corner of the Oriental City and near the Oriental Mountains. But to their dismay, not a


    single trace of them was found.


    Meanwhile, time passed by so fast that it was almost time for the recruitmentpetition of the


    Oriental College.


    It was during that day when all the warriors shifted their attention to the center of the Oriental City. All of


    them were more concerned about the iingpetition. After all, that was the reason why they


    came here.


    Two high daises stood in the center. Everything was almost back to normal as they were still as


    untouchable as ever. The central area of the city was the territory of the Oriental College, and only a


    few people had the opportunity to visit it.


    But things were different that day. Numerous people gathered around the two daises. Everyone heard


    that warriors from the Oriental College would be soon arriving. All of the people present in the area


    were just so desperate to have a look at the powerful fighters from that college. All of them were


    excited, as they were expecting to participate in or witness the selectionpetition through which the


    new geniuses would be identified by the college.
