Chapter 535 An Invitation From Jasper


    The young man who found his own way into the cave looked both dashing and handsome. He had a

    slim yet masculine body with a demeanor that reeked of confidence and majesty. He was none other


    than the first inner disciple of the Oriental College—Jasper.


    "I don''t think it was polite to just break into other people''s cave like this. Wouldn''t you agree, Jasper?"


    Ricky asked slowly. He was clearly a bit annoyed when he saw that Jasper just came in without his


    permission.


    "Ha-ha, you need to rx, dude. I''ve long gotten used to entering ces of people whose levels are


    lower than mine like this. I think a simple greeting should be more than enough. It''s like what they


    always say, old habits die hard," Jasper answered. He had of course noticed that he had annoyed


    Ricky with what he did, but he just pretended that he hadn''t and talked back with a cheeky grin on his


    face.


    "Oh, I see. But what if, in return, someone who is stronger than you breaks into your ce? What will


    your old habit say to that?" Ricky asked again, this time with a tone that dripped with more sarcasm.


    "You can be sure that I will be pissed off as well. But that would not change anything because I will


    continue to work hard, level myself up, and soon leave him in the dust. Whoever''s stronger than me


    thates to shove it on my face will be beaten up sooner orter, I promise you that," Jasper replied


    with a big bright smile on his face as if what he had just said was a bunch of kind words.


    "Wow, that''s a great idea. I never really thought of that. Thank you for bringing up," Ricky said as he


    nodded after hearing his words. He might still have a rtively bad impression about Jasper, but he


    relented a bit.


    When the tension was released from the atmosphere, Soar and the others took the chance to size


    Jasper up. They too had heard about Jasper''s name quite often, and it had made them quite curious


    what this peerless genius was actually like.


    "So tell me, what brings you here today? If you''re looking for some target practice, I''m afraid that I''m


    not qualified to sustain even a single round of your attacks right now," Ricky told him without hesitation.


    He and Jasper had met only for a limited number of times, so he didn''t think that they were familiar


    enough for him to drop by and just say hello. Something was definitely waiting for him after these


    formalities, and he would prefer if they just went straight to the point.


    "No. No. No. You don''t have to worry about that. I didn''te here to fight. I just wanted to ask if you


    would like to join my group in our daily training." Jasper gave a straightforward answer as he smiled.


    "Your group? In your daily training?" Ricky repeated with a bit of confusion in his voice. Why would


    Jasper suddenly make such an offer?


    If he wasn''t mistaken, Jasper was one of the best among all the upper spiritual kings, while he himself


    was barely a middle spiritual king, which meant that there was still a huge gap between them. What


    role would an ant y in a game full of elephants? Ricky just couldn''t figure out why Jasper would


    choose him.


    "In fact, I was only nning on making a team of two for this training. But as soon as I came back, I


    heard news about an ace genius who had defeated Ray. It immediately aroused my curiosity. I


    expected you to be at least a middle spiritual king, so I thought it was a good idea to make friends with


    you for mutual growth. What do you say?" Jasper exined borately.


    "Of course, I would also like to invite the talent behind you if possible. I have a feeling that he is also a


    very strong warrior, perhaps almostparable to you,"


    Jasper then added as his gaze fell on Soar and then back on Ricky again. Fighting spirit burst out from


    within him as Ricky met his gaze. If the rumors were true and that Ricky was indeed an ace genius, his


    talent should be much greater. This was enough to alert Jasper. He wanted to take on this new fighting


    star as soon as possible.


    But he certainly knew that now was not the right time yet. He had to be patient and wait until Ricky was


    at the same level as his. When the time came, he would defeat him and show the world that he, the


    real peerless genius, could bring down the so-called ace genius with his own strength rather than


    having the advantage of a higher level.


    Ricky and Soar exchanged looks as they heard Jasper''s words, as if to show that they were surprised


    with Jasper''s instincts about the Great Dragon.


    Nevertheless, Ricky still couldn''t understand what Jasper was up to. After all, any warrior whose


    cultivation level was higher than Ricky could easily help Jasper achieve the mutual improvement he


    wanted. "Thank you for asking, Jasper. We are extremely ttered. It''s so kind of you to have faith in


    both of us, but I''m afraid I have to point out thatpared with you, our levels are..."


    Ricky then paused as his face turned red with embarrassment. He believed that Jasper was clever


    enough to understand what he was trying to say.


    "Ha-ha. I know exactly what you''re about to say," Jasper responded withughter. "I can exin


    everything and I will also introduce the entire training n to you. But don''t you think we should sit


    down and have a good chat?"


    "Of course. We should have a drink first," Ricky replied with a smile as he gestured for Jasper to take a


    seat. He then took out a bottle of good wine he collected and offered a toast to Jasper.


    "Shall we begin with the training n? I wonder what would be waiting for us," Ricky then started.


    "I n to go to the Eastern Realm of Wildness. I bet you have also heard about it. Remember the


    Bright Emperor who threatened to kill you a few days ago? He came from that realm," Jasper said after


    taking a sip of the wine.


    "Yes, I remember him," Ricky answered and nodded.


    "The realm is literally a world of sand and wildness. It could be said that the whole Eastern Realm of


    Wildness is established on stark and endless deserts," Jasper continued to borate.


    "Those deserts are very dangerous and filled with different kinds of challenges. Sometimes, the sands


    would shift and would show some ancient Land of Legacy," he said in a lowered voice.


    "The Land of Legacy!" Ricky''s heart skipped a beat as he heard what Jasper said. After all, he knew


    very well about the Land of Legacy as he himself hade across one of these ces and had the


    chance to harvest its treasures.


    "Well, your eyes just told me that you already know about this kind of ce. Seems that no further


    exnation is needed." Jasper gave a small smile. "But this time, getting thevish inheritance under


    that ce is not the main purpose of our journey. We have other more important things to do.


    We have the bigger goal of growing stronger, and this won''t be obtained by merely harvesting


    inheritances."


    "I quite agree with you," Ricky nodded as he heard Jasper''s emphasis on other seemingly more


    important things.


    "Look, I''ve no idea what kind of Land of Legacy you once had the luck to find, but the one in the


    Eastern Realm of Wildness is known for a kind of Treasure from Heaven and Earth—the Enlightening


    Fruit. What''s more, if you''re lucky enough, you might even be able to find the fourth-level zed Fruit


    right in its very soil."


    "Hold on a second. Did you just say the Enlightening Fruit and the fourth-level zed Fruit?" Now both


    Ricky and Soar could barely contain their excitement. The names of the treasures alone were enough


    to surprise them. They just couldn''t wait to go to the Eastern Realm of Wildness and find the Lands of


    Legacy and collect the treasures.


    It wasn''t hard to understand their reaction. The Enlightening Fruit could only be found where thend


    wasced with thick and pure enlightening, and the fruit had proved to be a kind of priceless cultivation


    resource for an innate spiritual king or even a demi-spiritual emperor.


    It was no exaggeration to say that a single one of the Enlightening Fruit could help a warrior below the


    level of a demi-spiritual emperor cultivate and obtain the enlightening power of dozens or even


    hundreds of years in a single instance.


    And if a demi-spiritual emperor could get a hold of one of these fruits, his ability of mastering the ruling


    power would be greatly enhanced, thus helping themplete their breakthroughs and be an


    innate spiritual emperor.


    As for the zed Fruit, Ricky had already gotten one from the chief of the Sky Manor as a gift once


    before. It was a kind of fruit full of the purest energy from heaven and earth, and any creature that


    consumed a fruit like this would be able to turn all of its original form of energy into any kind that they


    needed the most.


    Specifically, each zed Fruit had its own level, from the first to the ninth with its power growing with


    the levels. The fourth-level zed Fruit was the kind of Treasure from Heaven and Earth that suited a


    spiritual king.


    "It looks to me that those two kinds of fruits have really intrigued you," Jasper said with a knowing smile


    after seeing Ricky''s brightened face.


    "You''ve seen right through me. Honestly, even if I''m not a greedy man in nature, I won''t be able to


    resist the temptation of these valuable Treasures from Heaven and Earth," Ricky came back to earth


    and said. "Besides, I don''t think you can, can you? You won''t mention them with sparkling eyes


    otherwise."


    "Ha-ha! You got me. Of course I do, and I might even be more desperate to find them than you," Jasper


    admitted without hesitation. "In any case, if the Enlightening Fruit could really help a spiritual king get a


    just in impossible.


    Simrly, if a fourth-level zed Fruit could boost a spiritual king''s cultivation and help him make


    breakthroughs without taking any risks, how could anyone ever refuse the opportunity?"


    "Thank you for giving me this chance, Jasper. We would be happy to join your training group," Ricky


    then said as he bowed slightly.


    "Not at all. In fact, you will know about them soon enough even if I didn''te and tell you today. News


    like this travels fast and eventually, all the creatures in the Eastern Realm of Wildness will begin to talk


    about them," Jasper said as he shook his head.


    "So, my real purpose of asking you to join me is that I want to dig out another thing in the Lands of


    Legacy there, and I want to do it with you," Jasper said as he lowered his voice once again.


    "Oh? What would that be?" Ricky inquired immediately.


    Amazement and anticipation were written on his and Soar''s faces as the second secret was about to


    be revealed. From the wickedness in Jasper''s eyes, they could tell that the thing he was about to


    introduce was something more precious than the Enlightening Fruit or the fourth-level zed Fruit.
