Meanwhile, under intense caution, Ricky secretly observed the woman behind the young man in black.
Exuding an unworldly aura, the woman shone a tender look in her glistening eyes. Moreover, she was
blessed to have such fine features that no man could ever avoid falling for a woman like her.
At that moment, all the men in the area had their eyes glued to the woman.
'What is going on around here? She looks kind of familiar. Have I met her before?' Ricky wondered the
minute he saw the woman.
Of all the people in the area, Ricky could not help but notice how the woman's gaze always fell on him.
"Hey, Hayes! See that girl? Do you know her?" Ricky asked telepathically after letting his curiosity get
the best of him.
"Ha-ha! Oh, Ricky. Don't tell me that you're attracted to that woman, too? But I have not met that
woman before, and I don't think George and Brandon ever did, too. Because if they did, they would
surely have a different response than you,"
Hayes remarked.
"Really?" Ricky said softly to himself.
"Ricky, snap out of it. That woman might be very enchanting, but you must pay close attention to that
young man in front of her," Hayes said seriously.
"Do you know that guy?" Ricky asked as he stared at the young man in black.
"That's Peter Mu. He's from the Mu Clan of the Misty Mountain," Hayes replied as he gazed at the
young man in black.
'I see... So this is Peter Mu,' Ricky uttered inwardly.
But at the same time, Ricky was baffled by his presence. "What is he doing here? The Mu Clan of the
Misty Mountain and the North Sect usually live in harmony without any conflicts. I wonder whose side
he will take this time.
I doubt that his presence here is purely by chance. I mean, no one would dare enter the Land of
Thorn," he blurted out.
"I have no idea!" Hayes answered bluntly. "I just hope that he would not take George and Brandon's
side."
The Mu Clan of the Misty Mountain was said to be on par with the North Sect. However, considering
the number of medium saints, the Mu Clan had two while the latter had only one. Therefore, the Mu
Clan was more powerful.
Moreover, the Mu Clan was situated very far from the North Sect. It was a good thing that the Mu Clan
was situated far away from the North Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the two to avoid
conflicts.
Peter Mu was the son of the Mu Clan's leader. People described him as an incredible genius who was
even more famous than George in the outer region of the Middle Land.
In addition to being a genius, he ranked ninth among the ten top young talents of the outer region of the
Middle Land,
while George even failed to become one of them.
Generally speaking, the top ten talents of the outer region gave honor to the most talented young
warriors in the Middle Land's outer region. These talents were then recognized by the Misty South
Palace.
All of a sudden, both George and Brandon averted their gazes away from that head-turner woman. And
instead, they placed them on Peter Mu, as if they were caught in a spell. "It's Peter Mu!" the duo
suddenly exclaimed with serious faces.
Frankly, George was actually a little bit afraid of Peter Wu because the former was a genius who was
valued by the Misty South Palace. In addition to that, he was well aware that Peter Wu was also named
as one of the top ten talents in the outer region.
Despite that, George didn't see eye to eye with Peter Wu.
He didn't think that Peter was better than him.
After landing on the ground, Peter Wu glanced at everyone. "Let me see who's here. George, Brandon,
Mordechai, and Ricky... I also see that there are also other talented disciples from the North Sect, the
Luo Clan, and the Five-element Sect.
I sensed it right. This place is undoubtedly full of geniuses,"
Peter Wu said as he smiled from ear to ear.
"Hey, Peter, what brings you here?" George asked all of a sudden. As a result, he got Peter's full and
undivided attention.
Compared to Ricky and Mordechai, George had this itching desire to fight Peter. He thought that once
he defeated Peter Wu, he could replace him in the ranks and become one of the top ten geniuses.
"Ha-ha! Just like what I said, George, I had a feeling that many talented people reside here. And that's
why I paid a visit," Peter Wu replied with a warm smile.
But somehow, all the other warriors, including Ricky, didn't buy anything that Peter Wu had just said.
Instead, they thought, 'You've got to be kidding me. Do you think you can fool us with this lame lie?
A saint outside couldn't even have a sense of what is going on in the Land of Thorn, let alone someone
who is not.'
"Oh, is that so?" George clarified while narrowing his eyes at Peter.
"Yes. So, if you have some unfinished business to attend to, please, just go ahead and ignore us. We'll
be fine here," Peter Wu answered back.
"You can't be serious, Peter! No one in the entire outer region would dare ignore you, given your rank.
And now that you're here today, you must come and do a few rounds with me. How does that sound?
We all know that you rank ninth in the top ten geniuses. And to be honest, I have wanted to own your
title for a long time,"
George said with no holds barred as he looked Peter Wu in the eye.
"Well, if that's what you want," Peter agreed and nodded his head indifferently. "After all, according to
rules the Misty South Palace has made, the ten geniuses, including me, can't refuse any other talented
young warriors' challenge."
"Then I'm beyond thrilled to hear that. The deal is sealed!" George said excitedly. "But before that, let
me just deal with something. I hope you won't interfere."
"Ha-ha! I completely understand! Don't worry, I will stay out of your way," Peter Wu assured.
He was certain that George was going to take care of Ricky and his team first.
At this point, Ricky did not care what other people said. There, he tried his best to guess and recall the
woman's identity. He could not just ignore his intuition that this woman was someone he knew.
After thinking hard for a while, he had finally started to realize why this woman looked so familiar to
him.
"Dragon Intent Grass, see that woman behind Peter? Does she look familiar to you? They look the
same," Ricky said.
"Yes, she appears to be the spitting image of him. Could they be fraternal twins?" the Dragon Intent
Grass replied.
"I thought so, too. My Golden Spirit Eyes told me that the two are the same person. But that's still
impossible," Ricky said with furrowed eyebrows, frustrated.
Meanwhile, George turned around and stared at Mordechai and Ricky ferociously. "Watch us as we
take you out in three moves," he threatened the duo. Initially, he planned to play with Ricky and
Mordechai for a little while before eliminating them.
However, Peter Wu's arrival made him change his mind. Instead, he decided to finish them off as
quickly as possible. After all, he could not wait to take Peter Wu's place in the ranks.
Hearing what George said, Ricky and Mordechai looked at each other and let out a rebellious sneer.
"Humph!
Are you really sure about that?"
At that moment, both of them realized that George wasn't taking them seriously at all.
"In that case, try us then!" Ricky dared.
Deciding not to hide his real strength anymore, he burst out his six mutants and unleashed the chaotic
power. Soon after, he jumped and swung at Brandon from the sky. Afterwards, a colorful lotus emerged
along with his punch.
On the other hand, Mordechai activated his Sorcerous Combat Body. Immediately, he launched an
attack on George in the blink of an eye.
The moment the battle started, Ricky and Mordechai surely put in all their efforts as they fought with all
their might.
Seeing that the enemy had already made their moves, Brandon and George gathered their strength
and performed their powerful Omnipotent Skills.
And because they had already claimed to destroy their enemies in no more than three powerful strikes,
the duo did not hesitate to show them their best moves.
From a distance, Peter Wu watched the fight. However, he spent more of his time watching Ricky, and
so did that woman behind him.
