When Caleb saw Ricky's flaming fist, he immediately gathered all his power and used his Ice Punch to
deflect it!
But with a thunderous noise, Caleb was forced to stumble back and spat out blood too.
Ricky then stopped striking him.
At this moment, Ricky was satisfied with the strength of his move.
This move was what Ricky called the "Devouring Flame Fist", which was created by using his
Devouring Fire to absorb nearly a hundred Beast Fires. Ricky had of course comprehended it from the
mental cultivation method of Chaotic Fire Skill.
The so-called Devouring Flame Fist was the combination of Devouring Fire and Heaven Melting Fire. In
the collision, the Devouring Fire would strongly suck the opponent's strength first. Then the Heaven
Melting Fire would give the opponent an unexpected strike with great force.
Under such circumstances, as long as the opponent was not stronger than Ricky, he or she would not
be able to easily deflect that strike.
What happened to Caleb and Elvis right now had just proved this point.
In reality, when Ricky devoured nearly a hundred Beast Fires, his strength had become equal to the
ninth stage of the Blood Purification, because nearly all the power of Beast Fire was consumed by the
Devouring Fire. Therefore, it was impossible that Caleb and Elvis would defeat him!
But now they instead were both defeated, which proved that the Devouring Flame Fist that Ricky had
comprehended was so powerful.
Of course, it was only now that Ricky confirmed the capacity of this move.
'You didn't let me down, Chaotic Fire Skill! Now combined with the Devouring Skill, nobody will able to
stop me in the Realm of Wildness, ' Ricky thought to himself, feeling quite confident and elated.
……
"I'm impressed. You're both great! If the Misty South Faction has you two as members, it will definitely
improve a lot," Ricky said Caleb and Elvis, smiling.
However, Heather and Edgar were thinking, 'Such a liar Ricky is.' Of course, Autelan, Caleb and Elvis
felt the same way!
But right now, Autelan didn't care about what he said at all, because he was still deep in thought about
the scarlet flame that Ricky channeled.
……
"You're being modest, aren't you, Ricky? Not only did you reach the seventh stage of the Blood
Purification, but you also have such a strong capacity to challenge people above your level. I'm sure
we're right about choosing to join the Misty South Faction!" Wiping the blood from their mouths, Caleb
and Elvis exchanged glances. They both did their best to hide their shock and talk to Ricky politely.
The reason why Ricky chose to battle with Caleb and Elvis was not that he wanted to show off, but to
make them realize who was truly in charge should they join in the Misty South Faction.
And it had worked. After what just happened, they were indeed intimidated, which could be seen from
their attitude towards Ricky. Their arrogance had turned to caution and humility.
"Ha-ha. Now that you meet all the requirements, then I will also fulfill my promise. You can take these
two Beast Fire balls!" Ricky laughed as he took out two masses of Beast Fire and let them go in the air.
"Please be careful when you are refining the Beast Fire. But I'm sure you are already aware of the
dangers involved."
"We got it!" They said excitedly, looking at the Beast Fire in front of them. They couldn't wait to absorb
it.
"In that case, I'm eager to tell all the disciples of the Snow Sect that you have joined the Misty South
Faction as soon as possible. You know, the time is ticking away!" said Ricky.
"Ha-ha, of course. Don't worry, Ricky. Within an hour, both the inner disciples and outer disciples in the
Snow Sect will have heard that we belong to the Misty South Faction," Caleb and Elvis said seriously.
"Thank you, Caleb, Elvis!"
Then, after some brief conversation, Ricky and the others left. As they emerged from the courtyard of
Caleb and Elvis, some disciples were wondering what had taken place.
……
In the small courtyard, after Ricky left, Caleb and Elvis's faces changed immediately. They both turned
rather grim.
"Do we really need to join that ridiculous Misty South Faction, Caleb? And let them use our fame for
their own gain?" Elvis said coldly.
"The reason why Ricky is so strong now is just because of the two Beast Fire. Now that we can also
refine the Beast Fire, we'll defeat him eventually. Just let him enjoy his arrogance for a while. One day,
we're going to take back what we lost!" said Caleb.
"Plus, now that he's been targeted by our people, he can never get away from us!"
"Right, we should refine the Beast Fire first. Even if we don't kill him, there are so many people out
there waiting to kill him!"
"Now, let's just do as he said. We tell all the disciples of the Snow Sect that we've joined the Misty
South Faction. The higher he stands, the more painfully he will fall in the future!"
……
Back in the courtyard of the Misty South Faction, Autelan, Heather, and Edgar couldn't wait to ask
Ricky about how he made such progress the past few days.
Ricky simply told them about the opportunity he got in the Earth Fire Place.
They grew rather envious of Ricky's luck. Of course, he didn't say anything about the Heaven Melting
Pagoda.
……
"So what are we going to do next?" asked Edgar.
"It depends on how beneficial Caleb and Elvis will be after they join." "Edgar, when they reveal the
news about their joining, we can also tell others that the Misty South Faction is recruiting members,"
said Ricky.
"This time, if anyone joins us, we will recruit them all. Of course, those who cause trouble will be thrown
out."
"Got it!" Edgar nodded.
"Well, this time, we are going all out. Let's see how the Casting Faction and Refinement Faction are
going to respond," Autelan said vigorously.
Autelan was rather morose because he hadn't trained for three months and encountered things like
Ricky had.
They then sat in silence, waiting for news from Caleb and Elvis.
……
"I believe you felt something just now, my owner!" Alva suddenly said.
"Yes, that resonance and feeling revealed to me a hint of another kind of power… it's quite similar to
the Heaven Melting Fire!" Ricky told Alva.
Now the Heaven Melting Pagoda had taken him as its master, he could talk to it alone in his head.
"Alva, now that you've felt it, can you sense where it is in the courtyard of Caleb and Elvis?" asked
Ricky.
"You overestimate those losers. With their talent, how can there be sacred fire around them?" replied
Alva scornfully.
"Is it not in their courtyard?" Ricky replied, rather confused.
"My master, if I'm right, there is only one person that has the other sacred fire! And that person was
close to you!" said Alva.
"What?" Ricky was rather shocked when he heard this.
