Even in such a critical situation, Martin appeared more composed and calmer than he had before.
He was not irritated by Ricky's comments anymore, and he couldn't even recall what Ricky had said before. He was preoccupied with thoughts of revenge and hatred at that moment. As the killing aura exuded from within him, an atmosphere of horror dominated the entire area. He was becoming nothing but an emotionless killing machine. All he could think about was how he wanted to smash Ricky into pieces.
"Since I can't break your light power now, I will take my revenge after you make a breakthrough," Martin said with an unfathomable smile.
"What happened to him? Why did he still appear composed despite the fact that he couldn't break Ricky's light power?" Seeing Martin's sudden change in demeanor, Soar and the others could hardly believe their eyes as they stood waiting inside the Mind Palace Model.
"It seems that he has become more strange and powerful than before," Terrence mused as a feeling of anxiety overwhelmed him.
"How could that happen? I have a nagging feeling that Martin is not blind at all. I think that he put up a front and tried to fool us with such a dirty trick. I can vaguely sense that there is a potent power within his eyes, but I can't figure out what it is," Samson stated as his face grew serious. Stroking his chin, he lost in thought over the possibilities.
"Really? Are you sure about that?" Soar and Terrence questioned him in confusion upon hearing what Samson said.
"No, it's just a gut feeling. The blood power inside my body that I inherited from my ancestors is able to influence my thoughts, so there is a good chance that I am wrong about that," Samson calmly explained, as he scratched his head. He was greatly puzzled as to what was happening with Martin.
"Since we haven't figured out what is going on with Martin, the only thing we can do right now is wait for Ricky to make a breakthrough in his cultivation. When he succeeds in elevating his strength, no matter how powerful Martin is, I'm pretty sure that defeating him won't be much of a trouble for Ricky," Soar said with a smirk and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Martin ceased to blow his energy towards Ricky's four zones. He kept himself afloat in the air with his legs crossed. He sat quietly, waiting for Ricky to make a breakthrough from his current stage.
At that moment, the process was of critical importance to Ricky. Both his accumulation of strength and his understanding of enlightening power had surpassed a lower spiritual king. Ricky had a mixed feeling of excitement and fear as he realized that he was just one step away from victory. Although the future of the fight was promising for him, Ricky still thought that it was best to err on the side of caution.
Clenching his teeth, he prepared himself for the last stage. He needed to concentrate all his power to help him overcome the last obstacle before becoming a middle spiritual king.
Transferring the power of his four zones, Ricky summoned all sorts of enlightening powers inside his body and fused them with the innate strength of his elixir field. Three kinds of potent powers turned into a sharp cone and shot towards the sky. In the blink of an eye, an invisible barrier came from out of nowhere and kept on falling onto Ricky's cone. They landed heavily on its surface, ruthlessly suppressing his power which emitted from the cone. The barrier was so intense that it seemed impossible for anyone to endure such pressure.
"Break it!" Ricky suddenly roared as his hands closed
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
e to attack me with the mighty rays of light. I'm willing to guess that you can't use that skill right now. I would not be able to stand in here and talk to you otherwise, isn't that right?"
"Yes, you are right," Ricky frankly replied with a faint smile on his face. "But, even with my naked fists and my saber, destroying you would be a walk in the park."
"Is that so? I'm afraid that you will change your mind when I show you my full strength!" Martin called out as a killing aura exuded from within him.
Boom! Boom! As his voice faded away, the power of ghost and resentment started to build up and surged through every bit of his body.
After that surge of power rose to a climax, two kinds of powers fused together into a brand-new form of power. It was the dark power and the Dark Enlightenment.
Astounded by what had just happened, Ricky stared at Martin with furrowed brows. It seemed to Ricky that Martin was no longer a human being. It was like he had become a ball of Dark Enlightenment.
It struck an awful terror into Ricky's heart as he came to the realization that Martin was way more dangerous than the Feminine Mutant that Pearl had.
'So, this is the change he underwent while I was concentrating my efforts on elevating my strength. It seems that Martin is no longer the same person he used to be. Now he is nothing but a ball of Dark Enlightenment. I sense that he still has his own memories though, ' Ricky quietly thought to himself. Though Martin's strength and aura overwhelmed him, he still showed no fear that Martin could see.
"Since you have made a breakthrough, you should show me some of your best attacks to prove yourself. Mere word will not help you win this battle, after all. Let's get stared; I'm dying to see how powerful you are now," Martin called out with a look of complete disdain on his face.
"I will deliver on my promise. I can assure you of that," Ricky coldly replied, not showing even an ounce of fear.
Ricky prepared himself and blew an enormous surge of strength towards Martin. Due to the massive improvement in his strength brought about by recent cultivation, Ricky's power was nothing less potent than Martin's, despite the fact that his strength was unstable on occasion.
"That's great! You've always played a defensive game before. Be a man and fight me!" Martin roared at Ricky with a vicious look on his face.
