Chapter 995 The Background
"I can''t thank you enough, sir!" Ricky smiled from ear to ear as he sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"In that case, you should call me Chief from now on. How does that sound?" Langston gave a faint
smile as he replied. Despite the happiness from all that was happening, Langston could not help but
feel the heaviness of his heart now that it was time for him to also think about solutions on how to deal
with the Sky-breaking Dome.
Since Calvin suffered such a great loss, he would most probably seek help from the Sky-breaking
dome.
"Yes, Chief!" Ricky respectfully tried to get Langston''s attention.
"We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!" At that moment, the members of the Hong
n led by its leader, Abraham, also expressed their sincere appreciation to Langston.
"You''re wee. A warrior with the Rainwater Mutant must be treated as a genius in the Spirit Sect."
Langston smiled as he spoke.
"Does that mean that Amelia can also join the Spirit Sect if she wants to?" Abraham asked excitedly
upon hearing Langston''s words.
"Well, of course. After all, the Spirit Sect is also short of mutants and it would be great if she could join
us," Langston replied. "But, as far as I''m concerned, it''s better that you join the Spirit Sect by taking
part in thepetition that would be held two and a half months from now.
By then, thepetition would be fierce. In fact, tons of rewards await you once you be a core
member! Moreover, these rewards are great opportunities for you, and your realm will surely benefit
from them. I know you are very interested in joining the Spirit Sect now, but if you do right now, then
there will be no reward for you at all."
"Wepletely understand, Chief!" Ricky and Amelia said in unison as they nodded their heads upon
hearing Langston''s words. Right then and there, he imagined all the rewards that could soon be his.
"Let me remind you that you can''t be careless in thispetition. Moreover, there would be no fooling
around, because there will be many geniuses of the elder generation who often take part in the
faint smile.
"Well, that makes it more interesting." Ricky smiled.
"That''s good to hear. You can stay in the Hong n for the time being. But be sure to head to the core
area of the Spirit Sect. I''ll be waiting for you there," said Langston. At that moment, he was eager to
see how well Ricky''s skills would y out in the uingpetition.
Ricky had gained a good reputation because of what had happened today. But in thepetition, there
would surely be a lot of people who had not been convinced of his real strength. In addition, the Chu
n and its allies would not let the opportunity to kill Ricky pass by.
It was no doubt that Ricky was an ace genius. However, Langston had always known that the Spirit
Sect only needed geniuses who had experienced life and death battles.
"Maybe, I have to change some rules of thepetition for Kenny''s sake," Langston suddenly said to
himself in a low voice. Deep inside, he was dying to know the limit of a genius who had cultivated the
chaotic power.
But before he could do that, he still had to figure out one more thing: he needed to dig deep into Ricky''s
background—where he came from, who he was, and why he was there. It was natural for Langston to
pay extra caution when it came to dealing with an ace genius like Ricky, since he didn''t know where
Ricky was from.
Meanwhile, the warriors started to leave as they looked forward to witnessing the epic battle between
Langston and Calvin. However, to their disappointment, the two spiritual emperors only had two rounds
of fight before Calvin retreated. After all, it was not every day that they got the chance to watch a battle
between two powerful spiritual emperors.
Needless to say, the audience found that Calvin was being reasonable and wise when he stopped the
fight as soon as he knew that he could not defeat Langston.
But beyond that, Ricky was also the talk of the town. The warriors wanted answers as they all got
curious about Ricky''s origin. After all, they didn''t know much about him and his identity remained a
mystery.
Ricky was such an extraordinary warrior that it was difficult for him to get unnoticed anywhere.
Ironically, as much as Ricky was known for his strength and power, many people still knew nothing
about him, making them more curious about Ricky.
And because of the repeated discussion about his background, Kenny—Ricky''s fake name—became
well-known throughout the entire Western Land.
"Kenney, there''s something that I want to ask you, but you have to answer me with all honesty..." But
before Ricky could answer, Langston followed up with another question. "I''m talking about your identity.
It''s just funny that I have never heard of your name anywhere before.
Also, as a spiritual emperor in the Western Land, I can clearly feel that you are not from here. I''m
guessing that you must be from anothernd. Maybe you''re a genius from the Middle Land or
something. So please, can you properly introduce yourself this time?
I hope you don''t get me wrong."
"I understand, Chief," Ricky replied with a smile after he heard Langston''s sentiments. "May I have a
word with you alone?"
"Don''t mind if I do!" Langston nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his big hand. Soon
after, he and Ricky immediately appeared in another world. Feeling the void carefully, Ricky sensed
that they must be in Langston''s very own Small World.
"Ricky, are you sure about this? Do you want to tell him who you really are?" Tina asked, concerned.
"What else can I do? I can''t keep this forever. After all, it is not easy to deceive the chief of the Spirit
Sect," Ricky said. "Sooner orter, my secret would be known. It''s better to tell him straightforward than
let someone else unravel the truth," Ricky added.
"Langston is a reasonable man, but if he really thinks that I''m in cahoots with the devils, then I think
that we would rather leave this ce sooner.
Even though it is true that I cultivate the evil spirit, I still feel very upset whenever these creatures from
the continent refer to me as a devil." The Evil Mandragora''s distressed voice came through at the
moment.
"But it''s better than knowing that you are an evil mandragora. Once your identity is exposed, not only
the creatures from the continent, but also the devils that have been left behind on the continent will
probably be eager to catch you," Ricky reminded her.
"In that case, then you''d better be a devil before we gain enough strength.
I think the demi-spiritual emperor who sealed you in the first ce has also protected you to a certain
extent. Think about it carefully."
"Hmm.. That''s something to think about!" the Evil Mandragora said as she curled her lips at Ricky''s
words.
At that moment, Ricky was right. Once the Evil Mandragora''s real identity was revealed, the strong
warriors and devils would not let her go, because her blood could open up the passage between the
Devil Land and the continent.
"Chief, take a guess about where Ie from. You''ll be surprised," Ricky teased him.
"Are you to test how observant I am? Then let me have a try!" Langston remarked. "By feeling your
aura from such a close distance, I find that you''re not so old as you look.
You are Amelia''s friend. She once went to the Eastern Land and as far as I can remember, there is an
Oriental College in that area. I have once witnessed the cultivation method its former dean cultivated,
which was the Transforming Omnipotent Skill."
Langston stopped speaking. He shifted his gaze to Ricky who stood frozen.
Ricky was at a loss for words. At that moment, it seemed that Langston had already known who he was
all along.
''But how could it be possible? How could he know?'' Ricky thought to himself in shock. At that moment,
he knew that he had forgotten what a spiritual emperor was capable of, especially when he was the
chief of a great force.
Needless to say, Langston must have figured out who he really was based on Amelia''s previous trip to
the Eastern Land and Ricky''s Transforming Omnipotent Skill.
Langston must have known that Amelia had been to the Eastern Land based on the information
gathered by the spies of the Spirit Sect. At that point, Ricky suspected that there might be Spirit Sect
spies lurking in every demi-spiritual emperor force within the Spirit Sect''s territory.
"So you''re the ace genius from the Eastern Land—Ricky!" Langston said in a light tone. "And I believe
that you haven''t revealed that you haveprehended the chaotic power in the Eastern Land.

Otherwise, you would have already been known as an ace genius in thatnd."
