Chapter 480 Alva Woke Up
The whole process began with the first enlightening mark. Three types of runes gushed out from
Ricky''s body. The main one was the devouring rune. He took that as a sign and activated his Devouring
Skill to start the refinement.
He had already understood the enlightening power a long time back, at the Enlightening Cliff in the
scatteringnd of the ancient battlefield. Wasting no more time and energy on it again, he swiftly
moved on to the next aspect. He needed to refine the mark.
Ricky could see that the mark containing the enlightening power gradually became smaller and smaller
while being pushed by the three types of runic power. Mingling and melting inside those runes, it
spread across his regained spiritual meridian before it entered his three zones.
Only the real spiritual kings could use the enlightening power. So, Ricky, as a demi-immortal, couldn''t
just transfer it into his own body. His three zones were the best ces the enlightening power could be
stored. Having done that, one could say he possessed the enlightening power to some degree too.
Even though his flesh and blood were unable to contain the enlightening power, there was still
something Ricky could benefit from. It was the spiritual emperor''sprehension left inside the
enlightening mark, that he could still digest.
The spiritual emperor lived up to his fame as a real strong warrior. There might be only a very small
part of hisprehension and experience left in the mark, but it was more than sufficient for Ricky. He
would still gain a lot of useful information from it.
Sensing the power of a spiritual emperor, Ricky thought to himself, ''Is this what a spiritual emperor is
capable of? When will I be a spiritual emperor? I can''t imagine what it would feel like to possess
that kind of power. I want that. I really do.''
Suddenly, Grace''s face shed through his mind. ''Master Grace! I will push all my boundaries. I will
grow stronger so fast that it wouldn''t be believable. Just wait for me! I will get you out of that ce very
soon!'' His eyes glistened with determination and promise.
"What just happened? How could this be? He sessfully refined the enlightening power as a demi-
N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
immortal. I''ve never seen or heard of such a thing before. This is impossible!" All disciples just stood
there rooted to the ground, awestruck, as they witnessed the scene.
"Even Jasper could not make it when he was a demi-immortal! But now, this guy has done it! I must
admit that I am extremely impressed," said someone at the back. Muttering sounds came from
everywhere, as the crowd could no longer hold on to their thoughts.
It was just too good to be true. In that moment, those disciples of the Oriental College genuinely
thought they were in a dream where impossible and magical things happened frequently. They were
absolute geniuses judging by the fact that they were admitted by the Oriental College. They were also
very well aware of that. But now, Ricky''s genius made them feel weak and small.
"What''s going on there on earth? I find it hard to figure out," the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the
Array-shattering Spiritual King asked the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor through telepathy.
"In principle, it is impossible," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor responded in a calm, yet
profound voice. "However, there are some high grade spiritual weapons and demi-spiritual sacred
weapons which can be employed to store the enlightening power."
"What? Do you mean he possesses or has ess to such a high grade spiritual weapon or a demi-
spiritual sacred weapon?" Both the Skyward Sword Spiritual King and the Array-shattering Spiritual
King jumped with curiosity.
"The enlightening power is only one kind of power. Although it is a confined space inside the Small
World, the power can move freely in the battlefield. You both know how powerful a demi-spiritual
sacred weapon can be," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor continued exining.
"He could not have done that without any help. I think this was done by virtue of some powerful
inheritance."
"Oh, gosh!" they sighed together, nodding their heads in admiration and amazement.
Their righteous minds did not allow for any kind of ill feelings. One of their most important principles
was that what was doomed to be theirs would be theirs, and what was doomed not to be theirs, they
would dare not snatch it from someone else.
Ricky should feel fortunate that the three warriors watching him outside were all righteous and
upstanding. If they were some other people, they would probably curse him or try to steal everything
that belonged to him.
"A peerless genius! He is a true peerless genius! He has so many secret weapons under his belt. He is
working exactly the same as Jasper used to. I''m certain he will always surprise us with his impressive
performance," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor sighed. He was impressed by Ricky as well.
The two spiritual kings also nodded in agreement.
Ricky, on the other hand, had no idea what they were thinking.
Even if he knew how they would react, he would have still chosen to refine the enlightening power. It
improved his strength to arge degree and that was his ultimate motive.
It took Ricky three whole days to refine all the enlightening power contained in those enlightening
marks he had taken from the others.
When he was finally done, he felt an enormous power gushing inside his three zones, flooding and
running wildly. He could not have felt better than this.
Moreover, he had alsoprehended all the information the spiritual emperor had left in the marks.
Therefore, he had a better understanding of the martial arts.
"How strong am I now? I''m quite curious to know," Ricky murmured to himself, blinking his energetic
eyes. He clenched his fists as if looking for a target.
He knew he could easily defeat an opponent like York.
"I think, you are absolutely right!
He must have some high grade spiritual weapon or some demi-spiritual sacred weapon which could
refine and store the enlightening power. Otherwise, he could not have used the power inside the five
enlightening marks left by the spiritual emperor at all. It''s just such a short time," the Skyward Sword
Spiritual Kingmented, trying to make sense of the situation.
"He is talented and lucky. I think he has a very promising future. I can hardly imagine which level he
could reach now. Probably, this is beyond my imagination," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor
said through telepathy. "I''m sure those people must have already known that we are going to have
another peerless genius!
So, before Ricky bes apleted spiritual king, you must take good care of him and keep him
safe. We all know that many of our geniuses were killed by them! We cannot let that happen again!"
"Yes, we will! We will do everything possible to keep him safe! You have our word," the two spiritual
kings said, nodding their heads with sincerity.
"A lot of geniuses appear at this age; the world is also full of chaos and blood nowadays. There is
going to be a bloody storm on the way! Who will win? And who will be defeated? We will soon know the
result. Only the real geniuses and exceptionally strong warriors would survive and be even more
powerful to dominate this world," the Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor continued.
Demi-spiritual emperors had already made contact with the supreme enlightenment of the world. They
could sense what the future would be like more or less.
''A bloody storm?'' The Heavenly Ape Demi-spiritual Emperor''s words stuck with the spiritual kings.
All disciples of the Oriental College were dumbfounded by Ricky''s performance, which was simr to
how they used to react to Jasper''s performance in the past.
"Hmm?"
Ricky murmured. The moment he stepped out from his cave, he sensed something strange. At first, he
was confused. But, soon the confusion was reced by thrill.
Thump! Right at that time, he saw a me shooting towards him. It was none other than the Heaven
Melting Fire.
"Soar! Finally, here you are!" Ricky jumped with excitement as he looked at the fire.
The mended and transformed into the form of a human being. It was Soar. "You know, it''s not easy
to find you! This is not a small ce at all. I''ve been searching for you the past one month using the
Heaven Melting Fire," Soar said, panting and trying to catch his breath.
"It must be very troublesome for you to search for me. I''m honored. Thank you," Ricky said in a grateful
voice.
He wanted to search for Soar. But, his strength had not been strong enough before the refinement. So,
the only choice was Soar searching for him.
"You know what? I''m bringing you another guy here!" Soar said with a mysterious look before he
nodded his head.
Immediately after, a familiar voice was heard in Ricky''s mind. "It''s me, my master!"
"Oh my God! It''s you! Alva! You woke up!" Ricky eximed in great excitement as soon as he heard
the familiar voice.
Ever since Alva helped him to fight back the Shadow King, he had been asleep to recover. It had been
almost one and half a year until now. Ricky missed him so very much.
"Yes, this is me, my master. I''m so d to see you again," Alva said in a smiling voice.
"Yes, same here! I''m just so happy! I''m d to see you are in good condition now," Ricky said. "You
can just call me Ricky! Master would not be necessary. You have Soar to be your master now. He is the
Heaven Melting Dragon and he is the real master of you."
"Ha-ha! You''re too kind! You save me and Alva. He considered you to be his master. So you can
continue being his master," Soar said with a genuine smile.
"s, Alva, you are going to have two masters! Ha-ha!"
They shared the joy and burst intoughter happily.
