Chapter 1377 Make Progress Every Day
Everyone around Ricky gasped again. They couldn't believe what he was saying.
He could say that he wanted to kill Lanny all he wanted. Lanny was not there, after all.
But Chandler was right in front of him. Chandler was not as powerful as Lanny. That was why Lanny used him to do his dirty work. But everyone knew that Ricky was weaker than Chandler because he had been defeated in one move by Chandler a month ago.
Therefore, they thought that Ricky would have chosen to run away instead of challenging Chandler.
But now, it seemed like Ricky didn't just want to fight against Chandler. He wanted to kill him. All the people present kept shaking their heads. They thought that Ricky had lost his mind.
"Oh no! Don't start overestimating yourself now, brat!" Xavier said while he glared at Ricky.
He hated working for Chandler, but he had to repay Chandler for saving his life.
He wasn't as foolish as Ricky. He knew not to play any tricks on Chandler or challenge him because Chandler had the Nether Phoenix tribe and the Phoenix tribe supporting him.
And why would he go against Chandler? After all, they shared an enemy, and currently, Xavier was not strong enough to take Ricky down on his own.
"Mordechai, if you're up for it, I'll leave Xavier to you," Ricky told Mordechai telepathically when he heard Xavier's taunts.
"Of course. I'm not a match for Chandler, but I can fight Xavier with no problem. Just watch me chop his head off," Mordechai replied confidently, puffing out his chest.
He was worried for Ricky. But since Ricky chose to fight against Chandler, he trusted that Ricky would win.
"Jasper, Mike, you two can take care of Matthias, the man behind Chandler." At the same time, Ricky sent a message to Jasper and Mike using telepathy.
"Matthias might be a two-star middle spiritual emperor, but it will be a piece of cake for the two of us to take him down. Don't worry," Jasper said. "But Ricky, we are worried about you. Chandler might not be as strong as Jedidiah or Miller, but he is still much stronger than you. Are you sure you want to fight against him?"
"Jasper, don't underestimate me. I've been making more progress every day," Ricky reassured him, smiling gently.
Jasper and Mike were slightly shocked to hear that, but after a few seconds, they came to the realization that it was true.
"Monk, isn't your friend being a little too arrogant?" Miller said through telepathy. "He can challenge creatures that are at a higher level than him, but with the improvement of his realm, his ability of challenging them should be degenerating.
After all, the rules of the heavenly law are that creatures are not allowed to challenge those who are at a higher level.
If that weren't the case, he wouldn't have been defeated by Chandler a month ago."
"He could have made some progress over the past month. Don't you think so, Miller?" Jedidiah replied.
"Do you really believe that?" Miller laughed.
"Of course I don't, but his confidence and my intuition tell me that it's possible," Jedidiah responded.
He didn't think Ricky could be a match for Chandler, but deep down, he knew that anything was possible. Plus, after spending so many days with Ricky, he knew that Ricky didn't seem like a man who would court death.
If so, given Ricky's current situation, he would have been dead already.
"We'll just have to wait and see, Miller. We already know that his talent is stronger than ours," Jedidiah pointed out. He had faith in Ricky.
"Okay. Because you say so, I will wait and see, Monk," Miller replied. "After all, he is Paul's successor and he was once an incredible demi-spiritual emperor. It would be amazing to see his true power at work."
"You brat! Why are you so eager for me to kill you?" Chandler asked, looking at Ricky coldly.
However, he held back some of his anger and became vigilant. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
He had wanted to kill Ricky for a while now. As a result, he knew Ricky well. As a matter of fact, he didn't think Ricky was the kind of man who would ask for death.
"Like I said, I want to make Lanny pay. You're in my way," Ricky answered.
A moment later, Chandler made his move.
Black and yellow light bloomed into the same attack that had defeated Ricky a month ago. With one swipe, his claw aimed at Ricky's heart.
Closing his eyes, Ricky released the powers of the seven mutants and they encircled his right arm. He clenched his right fist and punched at Chandler's claw. They collided and exploded.
Boom! The wave of pressure that left the collision caused Ricky and Chandler to step back at the same time. Ricky was dozens of meters away, while Chandler was only a few meters away.
Ricky found himself at a slight disadvantage, but in the battle between two warriors at the Emperor Level, it wasn't considered as such.
All of the onlookers were surprised.
A month ago, Ricky didn't stand a chance against Chandler. But now, he was able to completely resist him.
'It's true! He has made unbelievable progress!' Miller thought to himself.
If he were in Ricky's shoes, he couldn't have advanced that much if he had tried.
"His cultivation base has reached the peak state of a one-star middle spiritual emperor. Where did he find the time to make that happen?" Jedidiah was also staring at Ricky with wide eyes.
They had spent the last month together, and he had never seen Ricky cultivate.
Mordechai and the others were also in a state of shock.
"You're telling me that Ricky is actually making progress every day without spending extra time cultivating?" Mike said seriously.
'Ricky, you are becoming more and more like the king, especially with that layer of confidence, ' Claire thought as she stared at Ricky fondly.
The only reason that Ricky had reached the peak state of a one-star middle spiritual emperor was because he had refined the Intent Spirits.
The power he obtained from the Intent Spirits had sped up the process of his breakthrough by enormous amounts.
Even though Ricky's ability to challenge a warrior at a higher level had been weakened, he could still be as powerful as a two-star middle spiritual emperor when he was at the peak of a one-star middle spiritual emperor.
Maybe he couldn't defeat Miller or Jedidiah, but Ricky believed deep down that he was strong enough to fight against Chandler.
"Look at that! You made the right decision when you chose to break through by taking advantage of the Intent Spirits," the Dragon Intent Grass said.
"Soon, you will be more powerful than me. Then, I will need you to protect me instead of me protecting you," the Evil Mandragora added.
"Ha-ha! Men are born to protect women, aren't they?" Ricky teased, smiling at the Evil Mandragora's words.
Currently, Chandler was sulking. No one had expected Ricky to grow so much in one month, let alone him.
After all, it was not suitable for a warrior to break through in the Passage World.
Chandler could tell that Ricky had not consumed Treasures from Heaven and Earth or pills to break through from the way he had consolidated his aura.
Last time, he had let Ricky go because Jedidiah had appeared. He figured that he could ask Miller for help after and that they could attack Ricky together.
But now, he regretted his decision. If he had known that things would turn out the way that they had, he would not have left back at that time. Instead, he would have sent a message to Miller and asked him to come as soon as possible.
'Damn it! What happened to him over the past month? How did he make so much progress?' Chandler thought, clenching his fists.
"Chandler, in order to avoid any more accidents, let's fight Ricky together," Matthias told him through telepathy.
Then, he informed Xavier of his plan.
When they saw that Matthias and Xavier were about to make a move, Mordechai and the others stepped forward to stop them from helping Chandler.
"Chandler, don't play nice. If you want to kill me, show me all of your strength," Ricky taunted as he stretched out his finger and pointed it at Chandler.
