Chapter 614 The Golden me Mutant And The Golden Holy Fire
When Tobias lunged his fist towards Ricky, the fight ended in a tie. Tobias realized that Ricky could
actually match his strength. Even though Tobias didn''t get the upper hand in the fierce fight, he didn''t
get hurt either.
Tobias and his men never imagined this to be result of the battle.
Tobias only fought with his right arm, but it didn''t prevent him from summoning all his strength. For that
Ricky.
He didn''t consider Ricky to be potent enough as an opponent, and so, Tobias was very confident and at
ease with the idea of defeating Ricky. However, the result of the battle surprised him, and he couldn''t
help but wonder about Ricky''s power.
Ricky''s strength was undoubtedlyparable to any first-ss middle spiritual king''s, just as Tobias''.
"Gosh! It''s hard to believe that Ricky has such immense power!" Terrence muttered, gaping at Ricky.
Although he appeared to be shocked, he very well knew that Ricky had been keeping his real strength
from others. So, when he revealed his best moves, Terrance couldn''t contain his excitement.
''But, how did he do it? Just because he refined that half of Enlightening Fruit?'' Terrence thought to
himself. Even after due consideration, there was still one little nagging doubt at the back of his mind. ''It
seems impossible that only half of the Enlightening Fruit was able to make such a drastic progress in
one''s power, '' Terrence pondered in confusion.
"Well, the more time I spend with Ricky, the more unfathomable he seems to be." Terrence shrugged
with a heavy sigh.
...
As per Terrence, that half of the Enlightening Fruit was the leading cause of Ricky''s powerful strength.
It enabled Ricky to elevate his power to the level of a first-ss middle spiritual king''s. But, one thing
Terrence didn''t know was that there was a huge gap between Ricky''s efficiency of refining the
Enlightening Fruit and others''. Ricky was way ahead of his rivals in the refining process, and this
couldn''t be attributed to the fruit.
Here, Terrence was able to absorb at most twenty percent of the enlightening power from the
Enlightening Fruit. But, since Ricky possessed the four zones, he could easily absorb every bit of its
enlightening power.
Under those circumstances, even if Ricky only refined one Enlightening Fruit, the energy he absorbed
was five times more than others.
It was no wonder that only with one half of the Enlightening Fruit, Ricky was able to achieve such
significant progress in improving strength.
Moreover, once Ricky had refined the zed Fruit, he had already reached the top level of a second-
ss lower spiritual king. So, the Enlightening Fruit enabled him to be a first-ss lower spiritual
king.
...
"How do you have such intense power? How is it that your strength is equal to a first-ss middle
spiritual king''s?" Tobias roared as he firmlynded on the ground. Seething with anger, he looked at
Ricky with an icy cold stare. There was burning hatred in his eyes, and the result of the battle only
added fuel to his fire. He was so wildly furious that he wanted to burn everything here at the Birthce
of Ghosts.
When Tobias entered the Land of Ghosts, he truly believed that he was the only worthy first-ss lower
spiritual king possessing any powerful strength in there. He also considered that few could match his
power when it came to martial arts. He thought he was absolutely unbeatable. He always had a
positive attitude about his strength and tended to overestimate his own abilities. Before the battle, he
was certain that luck would be on his side once again and everything would go smoothly just as he
imagined.
Unfortunately, his optimism proved to be unfounded. He waspletely stupefied when the battle took
another twist. A horrific sense of panic overtook him as the unexpected result struck a chord in his
head. He trembled with fury about this humiliating defeat, as his discontent soon turned into bitterness.
As for Duncan and his men, their expressions looked like they were the most furious ones. Depression
took over them like a heavy ck cloud, as they stood rooted to the ground in deadly silence.
"I don''t think I ever told you that I didn''t have the same strength as a first-ss middle spiritual king.
You just made those things up and created trouble in here," Ricky said calmly, shaking his hurting
arms.
He instantly became very serious as he realized Tobias'' potency.
Ricky figured that if he hadn''t possessed strengths equal to a first-ss middle spiritual king''s, he
would be left with no choice but to bring Terrence and the others into the Chaotic Fire Zone.
Ricky went silent for a moment, gathering his thoughts and then continued, "You have your own special
powers that you could use against me. What makes you think that I don''t have any to protect myself
from getting hurt? Do you really think that I am naive enough to let my guard down here in this ce? I
was already prepared for this battle, Tobias."
"Indeed, we underestimated your power." Tobias nodded his head in agreement. His face turned red
and angry with all those messed up thoughts in my mind.
It never urred to him that Ricky would have any hidden skills. He felt a pang of remorse when it hit
him. He had made the stupid mistake of underestimating his opponents and being over-confident about
his little victories in the past. If he had proceeded with caution, things could have been in his favor right
now.
"However, there is one thing you should keep in mind." Tobias'' stern voice shattered the silence and a
killing aura emitted from within him. "We are confident that our Golden Rhino tribe will emerge
triumphant. Although you possess intense strength, I''m still way more powerful than you are."
"Correct me if I''m wrong, but didn''t you just make a breakthrough in this cultivation stage? There is still
a world of difference between me and you."
Ricky wasn''t irritated by his haughtiness. Instead, he just wore a faint smile on his face and calmly
replied, "Ha-ha. That''s hrious. Do you know the reason why I''m widely known as an ace genius in the
world of martial arts?" Ricky looked at Tobias with a frigid stare. A calm yet dominant aura exuded from
within him.
"Huh? That sounds interesting. Enlighten me, Ricky." Tobias couldn''t hold his curiosity. He really did
want to know about Ricky''s journey in order to get any hint about his strengths and weaknesses.
"That''s because a first-ss middle spiritual king is nothing but a hollow title to me. There is nothing
that can set a limit to my strength. If I be a first-ss middle spiritual king, I''m the unbeatable king
in that field. Few people in the same cultivation stage can match my power. I must tell you in advance
that you are doomed to fail from the moment you chose me as your opponent." A confident smile
spread across Ricky''s face and he continued, "Oh, and one more thing, this applies to all other
cultivation stages.
That''s the reason why I''m the ace genius and you are just another regr genius. Now, that''s the world
of difference between us."
Ricky just made those things up. He knew what Tobias wanted to hear. It was undeniable that in the
same cultivation stage, every master''s strength would be different in degree. Ricky had to admit that
with his current strength, he didn''t get an edge among the first-ss middle spiritual kings.

He only said those things to get under Tobias'' skin.
Although arrogant, Tobias wasn''t a fool. He was clever enough to see through Ricky''s little trick.
He couldn''t help but burst intoughter. Staring at Ricky with a look ofplete disdain, he chuckled,
"Ha-ha. Is that so? I''m dying to see how invincible you really are."
Boom! Boom!
Tobias'' wildughter faded into a deafening sound apanied by mighty rays of fire shing in the
sky. An intense aura emitted from within him and his heated Golden Enlightenment red up.
Rays of golden lightening released from the mes, and its sweltering heat suffocated the surrounding
creatures to death. The more power it generated, the more potent Tobias became. In the blink of an
eye, the killing vibe enveloped in the me reached its limit and seemed to explode any moment. A
dark horrific atmosphere fiercely took over, scaring everyone in the vicinity.
Before Ricky could react, the golden and white mes fused with Golden Enlightenment and melted
into Tobias'' body.
It turned his body into a huge ball of fire. Packing the mes within him, he was shining brightly in the
sky.
"Is it another form of mutant? The golden and white mes probably are a kind of holy fire," Ricky
murmured to himself. Sensing Tobias'' intense power, Ricky began drifting away and wondering about
his potent skills. Soon, he regained hisposure and started to analyze the current situation.
"To be honest, when I first met you, I looked down on you and thought that you were just a loser. But
now, I have changed my mind. Since you are, by your own ount, an ace genius, I think I should
bring out my best moves to this battle. Losing here, fighting you would be the most humiliating thing in
my whole life," Tobias said calmly with a smirk, while a look of disdain shed through his eyes.
"Ha-ha. Really? I consider it a great honor to be treated that way." Ricky smiled faintly.
It was time for Ricky to reveal his real strength. He began to summon his skills without any
reservations. In the blink of an eye, numerous rays of golden light radiated from within him. The Source
of Golden Body grew bigger and bigger inside the Massacring Zone, turning into the first level of
Ultimate Golden Body.
"So, could you tell me what kind of mutant and holy fire you possess?"
Ricky asked Tobias with greedy eyes. The Devouring Fire inside him was ready to make a move and
he couldn''t resist the strong urge to test Tobias'' golden and white holy fire.
"This is the Golden me Mutant," Tobias said arrogantly.
"Golden me Mutant? That''s a good name. So, this means that the golden and white holy fire is the
Golden Holy Fire," Ricky calmly replied with a mysterious smile on his face.
