"Do you remember Pearl, daughter of the president of Luxurious Chamber of Commerce? She and the geniuses from the three large forces supported by demi-spiritual emperors are hunting for you throughout the Small World!" Madeline warned Ricky in a deep husky voice. Adding further, she said, "The warriors from the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce and some forces affiliated with those three large ones are also searching for you.
To make things worse, we have reason to believe that all the warriors and spiritual king beasts within the Small World are hunting for you. This is because Pearl has promised that the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce would offer protection to any force that is able to report your trace to her."
Ricky's and Soar's faces turned red as they gathered the news.
Pearl's revenge was the one thing they feared the most in the Small World. It was not Pearl herself that made them afraid. It was the power of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce and her reputation as the prettiest female warrior in the Oriental Realm that truly terrified them.
They were blown away when they found out how warriors from all the forces rushed to help her as soon as she offered that reward. She had that effect on everyone.
"Which are the three large forces that you just mentioned?" Ricky asked after a moment of silent thoughts.
He only needed to be cautious about the warriors and spiritual king beasts from the three larger forces, not the other lesser powers.
"Among these three large forces, the most powerful one is the Ruin Leopard tribe," Madeline began explaining.
"Oh, it's a tribe of spiritual king beasts," Ricky murmured.
"This tribe ranks as the third strongest force in the whole Oriental Realm, with the Oriental College and the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce being the other two forces. The bloodline of the Ruin Leopard tribe is derived from the Ruin Emperor Leopard, the emperor beast," Madeline told Ricky.
"Such an extraordinary bloodline!" Ricky was shocked. "But, why are they still at the demi-spiritual emperor level?" he again murmured, scratching his head with confusion.
"It is because the bloodline of the Ruin Emperor Leopard residing in their bodies is too weak to help them become spiritual emperors. Their bloodline can only be strengthened when one of them makes a breakthrough and becomes a spiritual emperor," Madeline responded.
"Alright, then. Who's the strongest genius from the Ruin Leopard tribe that participates in the selection of the Oriental College?" Ricky wanted to gather as much information as possible.
"He's called Bernard! In terms of his cultivation level, he is a second-class lower spiritual king level. But in terms of his combat strength, he is strong enough to fight against the most ordinary first-class lower spiritual kings since he is a first-class genius," Madeline articulated further.
"It's a tricky situation though, since he has the equivalent power of a first-class lower spiritual king," Ricky said in a worried voice after understanding the strengths of his opponent.
"Ricky, please allow me to spend more time on cultivation. I'm certain I can make a breakthrough and become a first-class lower spiritual king beast soon. Then, we don't have to be afraid of anyone," Soar said confidently.
"Ricky, I can make a cultivation breakthrough too!" Madeline jumped up upon hearing Soar. Ricky was taken by surprise.
"Great! We are not weaker than them!" Ricky boasted with a lot more confidence when he saw the willingness in his friends.
"Okay then, which are the other two large forces?" Ricky asked hastily.
"One of them is the Bing Clan. They are one of the most long-lasting forces of this kind within the Oriental Realm. Almost all the clan members have icy spiritual meridians since birth," Madeline explained meticulously.
"The icy spiritual meridians of some of their genius disciples even reach the seven-star level. Their powers can be largely amplified.
Unfortunately, for all these years, not a single member of the Bing Clan has ever become a spiritual emperor. But, despite their slow cultivation progress, the Bing Clan still maintains a high social status within the Oriental Realm.
In the most recent selection held in the battlefield of the Small World, the strongest genius warrior that the Bing Clan has designated is called Louie Bing!"
"Is Louie Bing a first-class genius?" Ricky inquired.
"Actually, there are very few first-class geniuses worldwide, and he's not one of them. He's just an outstanding second-class genius. His cultivation level is probably close to a first-class lower spiritual king level!" Madeline went on answering his questions patiently.
Pearl was the most influential warrior at her age. She was a little girl, and yet, no one at her age dared to trick her, not even once. But, Ricky did it. Madeline respected him for his wits and capabilities, and she also realized what that meant for Pearl.
"It's not a big deal. I just tricked her into giving me several million gold coins!" Ricky responded with his palms spreading out.
"What? Several million gold coins! Not a big deal?" Madeline was shocked upon hearing him. "Several million gold coins account for half the property of a force that supported by a completed spiritual king. This amount also means a considerable sum of money for a force supported by a spiritual emperor.
If I were Pearl, I would not let you get away with it either," she added.
Seeing Madeline's agitated reaction, Ricky sneered faintly.
He didn't really care so much about the gold coins, and he didn't think it would be a big deal for Pearl to lose that sum of money.
"Can we please stop talking about them? Now, let us figure out how we are going to counter their aggressive acts!" Soar interrupted.
"I have no idea about that. Just tell me whatever the two of you plan. At first, I came here to protect you two under the hall leader's command, but now I can't even protect myself in the current situation, let alone protecting you two. So, now I can only follow your advice," Madeline responded.
She was adept at countering other common warriors, but she felt helpless in the face of Pearl's layered strategies.
'Ricky is such an awful nuisance, ' Madeline complained in her mind.
She could have remained a safe outsider in this picture. In order to protect them, she had to get involved inevitably.
"What else can we do? Well, let's just seek shelter from this danger for a while. You and Soar can take this opportunity to make breakthroughs in cultivation. Once both of you have made it to the next level, we will figure out a better action plan," Ricky said with a faint smile.
