At this point, a voice suddenly rang out and broke the oppressive atmosphere. "You may be ranked sixth in the top ten geniuses and have a good reputation in this place, but that does not make you worthy of the holy daughters of our sect."
Immediately after, two figures landed on the ground, looking fearsome and gruff. They were Ricky and Mordechai.
As soon as Ashley and her companions caught sight of Ricky and Mordechai, their faces lit up with glee. It was evident that the duo's presence brought them much relief.
Enoch and the other disciples of the Brilliant Array Sect looked cautious all of a sudden, as they turned their attention toward Ricky and Mordechai.
Despite Ricky's offensive words, Enoch didn't seem upset. He sent an unimpressed glance at Ricky and Mordechai and remarked,
"You must be Ricky and the new holy son of the wood branch. I have heard some interesting rumors about you two. They say that Ricky once took out an ace genius."

That's why I could easily destroy it.
If it were another array of the same level, I'm afraid I would have lost that bet," Ricky uttered modestly.
"I heard that you have a pair of Eyes of Heaven and Earth, and I'm lucky that I witnessed their power. They are indeed amazing. Anyway, I'm not a sore loser, so you don't need to comfort me," Enoch responded with a hint of admiration in his tone.
It turned out that Ricky had earned his respect.
Although Ricky had won the bet, he didn't mock him or act arrogantly. Instead, he showed remarkable honor and humility. Enoch admired warriors like Ricky.
"I swear that our people will not pick on the disciples of the Five-element Sect. You have my word on that," Enoch sincerely promised.
And when Ricky heard and saw how sincere Enoch was, he was immediately relieved.
He had been afraid that Enoch might take revenge on Ashley and the other disciples of the Five-element Sect.
Besides, Ricky didn't think he could defeat Enoch. After all, he was ranked sixth in the top ten geniuses, so he was undoubtedly stronger than Michael and Peter.
Seeing that Enoch was willing to let things go, and he even made such a promise, Ricky could finally breathe easier.
