Chapter 521 The Gale Strike


    When Ricky reached the famous Pce of Gravity, he had yet again caught the attention of many other


    disciples, as always. Of course, he could feel the re of all of them on him. He could feel that some of


    them were looking at him with admiration and friendliness, yet he could perceive that others stared at


    him with contempt.


    However, he simply dismissed these perceptions of his, ignored all of these stares and went into the


    pce straight away.


    The watchman of the Pce of Gravity was a grey-haired old man, who seemed to be highly respected


    as all the disciples who went in and out of the pce were extremely deferential to him, having their


    heads bowed while facing him. Whether they truly respected him or not, at least all of them called him


    "sir" most reverently.


    While contemting and interrogating with his powers of the four zones, Ricky got to know that the old


    man was a strongpleted spiritual king, and a veteran among all his peers here. It was no wonder


    that he enjoyed a high prestige.


    "Hello, sir! My name is Ricky Nan, and I would like to learn more techniques, cultivate myself fully and


    practice in this amazing Pce of Gravity for a month. I have heard so many good things about this


    ce," Ricky stated with the same reverence that other disciples showed the old man, and presented


    his well-earned jade tablet proudly to him at once.


    There were restrictions to the Pce of Gravity. Since only the disciples of the Oriental College were


    allowed to step into the Pce of Gravity, it was required that the jade tablet should be the only


    passport for registration. Ricky had learned the rules of the college by heart, so he was ready


    beforehand and proudly showed his identity even before the old man asked him to.

    "Ricky Nan? So you must be the ace genius they''ve been talking about these days, aren''t you?" asked


    the old man, looking up and scrutinizing Ricky, focusing on his reaction once he heard his name. There


    was sparkling sharpness in his pair of old eyes. Ricky couldn''t help but sense the disdain in his tone


    quite clearly.


    Ricky was in utter confusion. ''If I''m not mistaken, this old guy is a spiritual king beast. If I should ever


    offend a spiritual king beast, he should eithere from the Ruin Leopard tribe or the Golden Rhino


    tribe. Have I missed anyone who isn''t from these two tribes?'' Ricky thought quickly.


    "This is really interesting. I heard that the Bing n has been very kind to Earle. Let''s see how he will


    seize the opportunity and avenge his benefactor." Ricky heard some of the disciples present whisper


    with amusement, and this answered the many questions he had been toying with in his mind.


    ''Ah, so, all of this is for the Bing n, and this old guy''s name is Earle, '' Ricky thought and smiled,


    especially since he knew what he would be dealing with.


    "Pity. Now only the rooms on the ground floor are avable. Will that be okay with you?" asked Earle


    with a sneer, clearly with no good intentions. He was no longer looking at Ricky, as if he wouldn''t care


    about this so-called ace genius.


    "But I''ve just left the second floor and there are still many empty rooms up there! How strange!" blurted


    one of the disciples who were near them when he heard Earle''s words. Whether he meant to nail


    Earle''s lie to the counter, or he was simply puzzled, he looked really confused and asked the question


    without thinking. However, one thing was for sure, that he had embarrassed Earle.


    Therefore, as soon as he was done speaking, Earle stared at him in a stern manner, full of evil intent,


    which scared that young man into leaving the ce at once.


    The types of rooms on each floor of the Pce of Gravity varied. The higher the floor, the stronger the


    gravity pull in the rooms would be. For innate spirits, only gravity that was twenty or even thirty times


    stronger could awake their potential, while the ten-fold one would prove too weak for their cultivation.


    For this reason, all the disciples who came to this Pce of Gravity to practice would choose rooms on


    the second or the third floor, where the gravity was enhanced twenty or thirty times. There had been no


    exception.


    As for rooms on the first floor, they were with ten times stronger gravity pull, and were built mainly for


    demi-immortals.


    So it couldn''t be more obvious that Earle was doing it on purpose. He was spiting Ricky by not allowing


    him to enter the rooms that matched his level.


    Out of spite, he might have thought that it was a good idea to make Ricky feel small, but in fact, the


    rooms on the first floor were just what Ricky needed at the moment. Ricky nned to practice the Scud


    Movement Skill today, so the ten-fold gravity room was the perfect space for him. After all, he didn''t


    need to awake his potential this time.


    ''I knew you were ying tricks on me, old dog. Unfortunately, you have mistakenly given me what I


    need, '' Ricky thought gloatingly. ''Alright then, I''ll face the challenge and prove that I am the bigger


    person today, and I shall finish this show with you, as you wish.''


    Most evidently, Ricky would continue to keep what happened today in his memory. He was not a


    vengeful man, but this Earle had worked on his nerves by abusing the power in his possession.


    "Err…sir, but that warrior has just said…" Ricky stammered, pretending to be a bit surprised and


    annoyed.


    "Keep quiet. I''m in charge here. I know better than him or you, understand?" Without hesitation, Earle


    interrupted Ricky sharply before Ricky could finish his words. "It will be the rooms on the first floor or


    nothing. You can just go if you have better options elsewhere. Give the resources to those who really


    need them,"


    Earle then said with a smirk, his tongue in his cheek.


    "Fine, so be it! I shall make do with the ten-fold gravity room, for a month," Ricky said with a shrug,


    feigning disappointment.


    "Three hundred thousand gold coins!" Earle dered in a t and cold voice.


    "That Ricky guy didn''t mean it, did he? It''s just so stupid to practice in a ten-fold gravity room when you


    are an innate spirit. He might as well cultivate in his own cave. What a waste to spend three hundred


    thousand gold coins on this kind of empty thing," eximed some of the disciples present. Many of


    them couldn''t believe that Ricky would bear with it, and whispered to one another via telepathy.


    "You said it. He should just give up today. Although Earle is in charge here, I don''t think he would dare


    to go too far. I bet he would only show his teeth this time, or else the three vice deans won''t stand by


    and let him get his way," one of themmented.


    "I agree. He should just swallow it and try again another day," another one of them echoed.


    However, while they were engaged in this conversation, Ricky had already paid the high fees as


    required and walked into one of the rooms on the first floor.


    "Well, I really want to see your face when you realize that the ten-fold gravity room is just what I want in


    reality, Earle," Ricky said to himself in a cold grin. "I shall never forget this, and you can be sure that I


    will pay you all back and more, soon enough."


    Then he left all this behind and focused on what his mind needed before immersing into his cultivation.


    To ovee the pull of the ten-fold stronger gravity in the room, Ricky applied his power to help him


    seed in sitting cross-legged in the middle of the air. Cultivating in those rooms of powerful gravity


    was basically like pumping iron in a mega gym somewhere.


    What was Ricky''s n? In the next one month of practicing, he had two main goals.


    First, he would like to master the Scud Movement Skill sessfully by, at least, being able to use


    expertly the first level of the skill when he stepped out of the room. He believed that this would be


    another one of his trump cards when fighting with Ray in the future.


    Although Ray might have guessed that Ricky would learn the Scud Movement Skill and use it against


    him, he had no way to know at what level he had mastered it. Therefore, being able to use the skill still


    gave Ricky an added advantage. This boosted Ricky''s confidence level. No one could stop him.


    Secondly, he wanted to master the Omnipotent Skill of the Gale Zone—the Gale Skill as soon as


    possible, so that he could control the power of this zone better.


    It had been a long time since he activated the Gale Zone. Besides, he had made the breakthrough and


    had be an innate spirit recently. That was quite an achievement. It was high time that he learned


    the Omnipotent Skill of the Gale Zone.


    Strictly speaking, these two goals were actually for the same purpose. Ricky felt confident that after he


    had mastered the Omnipotent Skill of the Gale Zone, he would gain a much deeper understanding of


    both the Cloud Enlightenment and the Wind Enlightenment. These two skills were of a supreme


    standard.


    Particrly, the Scud Movement Skill was a skill that required profound grasp of the Wind


    Enlightenment and especially the proficiency of its usage. The application of such a skill guaranteed


    sess. So it could be said that Ricky''s second goal was the foundation of his first one. He needed to


    master these skills to the full.


    With his ambition served and his goals set, Ricky applied himself diligently and got down to practicing


    and mastering the Cloud Enlightenment and the Wind Enlightenment first.


    He concentrated, dived into the Gale Zone and immersed himself with his power in the gale rune


    study andprehend the Omnipotent Skill in the Gale Zone to his utmost ability.


    In this process, he received an expected prize from the gale rune—the Gale Fire, the peculiar fire of the


    Gale Zone. So again, he had added one more powerful fire to his Chaotic Fire Zone. However, this


    windfall didn''t stop him there.


    For the twenty days that followed, Ricky had been cultivating inplete immersion as if the Gale


    Zone was the whole world. He was oblivious of anything outside this room.


    What happened after the goals were set left everything in a daze. One day, Ricky slowly opened his


    eyes, as if waking up from a long dream. It was hard to tell whether he had really awakened at the


    beginning, for his dark pupils had turned as white as snow, as if there was a curtain of fog lingering in


    them. His expression was illusory, even his whole outline turned hazy. His silhouette was not distinct,


    which added an air of mystery to him. The power vibes that emanated from him were beyond


    second, and was hard to perceive for the next second. What had happened?


    For a moment, it seemed as if Ricky had be the embodiment of both the Cloud Enlightenment and


    the Wind Enlightenment. He had made it. The results were astonishing!


    The next moment, all seemed even more unreal. He stood up, rose, and started to fly up steadily to


    poise in the middle of the air. At that point, he sought and drew the Iron Destroyer. As soon as the


    saber touched the air, a cloud of Cloud Enlightenment and Wind Enlightenment surged out and


    wrapped it up. Ricky brandished it in the air without hesitation. His art was the proof of his cultivation!


    There was a reason why Ricky suddenly picked his saber to test his new skill—the new Omnipotent


    Skill he had just mastered was a kind of saber skill.


    "Omnipotent Gale Skill—Gale Strike!" Ricky bellowed proudly and convincingly as he wielded the saber


    with the bursting energy behind it.
