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 Clan led by its leader, Abraham, also expressed their sincere appreciation to Langston.

"You're welcome. 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 the competition that would be held two and a half months from now.

By then, the competition would be fierce. In fact, tons of rewards await you once you become 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."

"We completely 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 this competition. Moreover, there would be no fooling around, because there will be many geniuses of the elder generation who often take part in the competition. Be careful for most of them are not weaker than you or Carney," Langston warned with a faint smile.

"Well, that makes it more interesting." Ricky smiled.

"That's good to hear. You can stay in the Hong Clan 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 play out in the upcoming competition.

Ricky had gained a good reputation because of what had happened today. But in the competitio

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 I come 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 have comprehended the chaotic power in the Eastern Land.

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