Chapter 474 The Two Peerless Geniuses Finally Crossed Paths
"Madeline, please listen to me carefully. Now that Ricky has chosen the spiritual king battlefield, you
have to go there as well. You must personally protect him. We have sent out our men but I can only
trust you. You''re the only one that can do this task," Scar immediately said to Madeline when he saw
that the two airships were about to take off.
"Yes, I will do it!" Madeline nodded her head confidently without any hesitation.
If her boss had asked her to protect this young man in the past, she would definitely be reluctant to do
it. But she had a different opinion about Ricky. She knew that he was a peerless genius. That was why
she immediately agreed when she heard her Scar''s request. She was very happy to have this chance
to be able to protect a peerless genius.
"But remember this, you have to call him young master!" Scar gave her onest reminder. In fact, he
did not despise Ricky anymore after he was made aware of Ricky''s true strength and potential.
"Yes, I got it!" Madeline nodded her head once again.
The next moment, she jumped onto the dais where Ricky was standing on.
Ricky, on the other hand, quickly noticed the woman who came at thest second before the airship
would leave the ground. He then looked at her from head to toe.
From his perspective, she looked a little bit like Grace. She had exquisite and defined facial features
that made her look quite a heroine. She didn''t have any expression on her face except tranquility. ''She
must have a strong will, '' Rickymended secretly.
"Do you work for Scar?" Ricky asked her through telepathy. Meanwhile, he activated his power
originating from his zones to test this woman''s strength. It turned out that she was at least a first-ss
lower spiritual king.
"Yes, young master," Madeline promptly responded to his question.
"Young master?" Ricky couldn''t believe what he just heard. Heughed a little before he continued,
"Well, that is very considerate of Scar to think of such an address." He thought for a while and with a
smile, said, "Since you work for Scar, you don''t need to be so formal and distant by calling me young
master. Just call me Ricky."
"Okay, Ricky it is!" Seeing how politely and friendly he looked at her, Madeline immediately changed
her demeanor towards him.
"How many people do you have here? Are you by yourself?" Ricky asked again.
"The hall leader sent out almost every man avable right now. There are twenty-one people here,
including me," she replied at once.
"There are also twenty people on the other airship. They were supposed to protect you. But it seems
like they wouldn''t have much to do."
Rickyughed inside as he thought, ''Scar is really worried about me so much!'' However, he understood
why Scar did this. Scar was a servant to him now and his priority was to keep him safe. No wonder he
sent out all of his men.
''Doris was really being wise when she left the bonding contract between me and him. Honestly, this is
such a huge help to me, '' Ricky thought.
"So, Ricky, should I contact the other twenty men right now?" Madeline proposed at that point in time.
"Not yet. Just leave them be. They will be very useful when we enter the battlefield," Ricky told her. His
brain had started functioning really quickly, trying toe up with a n on how to make the most out
of Scar''s men.
''Scar is quite powerful! He has so many young innate warriors as his subordinates, '' Ricky pondered
deeply within himself.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, loud crashes were heard from where they were standing. Right at that time, the two flying
middle-sized airships suddenly erged and turned into two super airships.
"Those who want to fight in the demi-immortal battlefield, please get on the left airship. Those who
want to fight in the spiritual king battlefield, please get on the right one," the Skyward Sword Spiritual
King announced.
After everything was settled, the two giant airships took off. Before long, they disappeared into the
distance. They were heading for the deeper side of the Oriental Mountains where the Oriental College
was located at.
Their journey was quite peaceful and serene. They didn''t encounter any problems at all.
About one hourter, the airships stopped. They finally arrived at their destination—the periphery of the
Oriental College.
Standing on the airships which were floating high above in the air, everyone took their time to take in
their surroundings. It was undeniable that they could feel the powerful arrays that were filling the space
nearby. Those were actually the periphery arrays deployed there by the Oriental College.
There were numerousrge pces and buildings, as well as giant squares resting on those
mountains. From where they were standing, it looked magnificent.
"We have arrived at the periphery of the Oriental College. But you are not allowed to enter yet because

you have not sessfully passed the test," the Skyward Sword Spiritual King said. He was smiling as
he looked at everyone who was looking around with curious eyes.
"The Oriental College!" all the candidates, including Ricky, murmured as they emitted thebat
intentions around them.
Right at that time, several shadows flew towards them. Right at the front was a handsome young man
who was wearing radiant white clothes. He was the leader of the group.
He looked quite calm and serene. However, his momentum was extremely suffocating and
suppressing, and it mixed with his killing intention. One would shiver immediately the moment they felt
it. He was no doubt carrying catastrophic power within him.
That was to say, almost all the geniuses would be cast into shadow as long as he showed up.
"I did not expect that he woulde here," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor said. For some
reason, he was smiling when he saw the young man. There was undeniable joy in his old eyes.
Apparently, he liked the said young man very much.
"He was probably informed that the recruitmentpetition would be held right here at this time," the
two spiritual kings said. They smiled as well and nodded in approval. Truth be told, they liked that
young man too.
Soon enough, the young man and his entouragended on the airship. "Masters, I''ve heard that you
will be hosting thepetition by yourselves. At first, I didn''t believe that news. But now that I''m seeing
you right here, I''m so d to confirm that it''s true!" the young man said with a wide smile on his face.
The Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor was the first one to react when heughed shortly. Then, he stated,
"I''m afraid you''re not here for us. You know something, don''t you? If I guess right, a little bird on the
airship told you everything!" His words sounded sarcastic but he was actually smiling as he did so.
"You know me so well, Deputy Dean," the young man said awkwardly while he lightly rubbed his nose.
"Look at that young man! He is the first inner disciple of the Oriental College—Jasper Zhang!" someone
screamed in surprise when he finally recognized who that young man was. At that moment, more and
more warriors recognized the man. Then, they started to whisper to each other and soon enough, the
whole crowd became excited.
"What? Jasper Zhang? The peerless genius of the Oriental College?" The series of whispers continued
throughout the crowd.
Almost everyone in the entirety of the Oriental Realm knew the name, Jasper Zhang.
It was the name of a peerless genius —the most powerful and talented genius in the Oriental Realm. He
was even probably the strongest genius in the whole Eastern Land!
By all means, another peerless genius appeared in time. So Jasper Zhang was not the only peerless
genius anymore.
''Jasper Zhang? A peerless genius?'' Ricky pondered. He squinted his eyes as he sized Jasper Zhang
from head to toe. He knew that that man was probably the only warrior who could be a match for him.
Ricky was a peerless genius now and he knew that only through fighting against another peerless
genius could he make further progress.
''They have a peerless genius as a disciple. Then, there must be a lot of stronger warriors as elders or
teachers in the Oriental College! I''m sure that this ce will not disappoint me!'' Ricky wondered with a
little excitement in his heart.
While Ricky continued to process the knowledge that he had just heard, Jasper Zhang looked at him
directly. In Jasper Zhang''s mind, he felt that the young man in front of him was very special among all
those candidates. Jasper Zhang''s felt that he was also a very talented genius like himself.
Or it could be said that a peerless genius would always attract another peerless genius because of
their simr momentums.
In the blink of an eye, Jasper Zhang dashed in front of Ricky. With a smile on his face, he said, "If my
guess serves me right, you must be the peerless genius everyone is talking about!"
Uncontrobly, Jasper Zhang released his battle intention. As if by instinct, he wanted to battle against
Ricky. However, he tried really hard to suppress such intention. He was actually afraid that he might kill
Ricky. In Jasper''s mind, Ricky was still too weak to battle against him despite the fact that both of them
were peerless geniuses.
At that point in time, everyone locked their eyes on the two young men. They could already imagine
what it would be like if they fought against each other. It must be a really wonderful and ferocious
battle.
''It seems that this college will be very lively soon. I like that! Hopefully, they will not only be
enemies, but be friends as well!'' the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor thought to himself
while he stared at the two young men in front of him. He actually liked Ricky and hoped that Ricky and
Jasper would be good friends. That way, both of them could make progress and enhance
themselves together, without being shaded by dark thoughts.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Ricky Nan," Ricky introduced himself in a decent manner. He
recognized that Jasper Zhang wanted to have a fight with him. But Ricky couldn''t find it in himself to
find faults with the man in front of him. Ricky thought that it would be the best for him to behave politely
at that moment.
