The legendary warrior

Afterward, Jasper and Mike left to explore the Passage World together, intending to fight the devils they encountered with just the two of them. In this way, they would get used to killing devils as a pair, and they would learn to fight like one unit in the future.

"Farewell, Ricky. See you in two years,"

said Jasper as he lightly patted him on the shoulder.

"See you! And take care of yourself!"

Ricky replied as a small smile tugged at his lips.

He then turned back to Enoch and the others and bade them farewell too.

"I see. So both of them have got the inheritance of the Law of Universe, and the only difference is that one has got the positive part and the other the negative part. Even though we don't want to see them fight, we can't do anything about it. However, if they all take the road of martial arts of the Eight Diagrams, who will become the Eight Diagrams' real master?" As they continued on their journey, Ricky told Mordechai and Ella what had happened in the array, and the two couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know. It depends on their luck, and of course, on how much they can improve,"

answered Ricky with a shrug. "Anyway, let's continue hunting those devils. We only have less than four hundred points at present. That's far from enough."

"You're right. It's time to shake a leg, guys!"

Mordechai agreed enthusiastically.

After that, the three of them did as Ryland had said, and they began to hunt devils that were at the same strength as them.

During this time, all three rapidly grew stronger in terms of their realm, fighting power, and understanding of the road of martial arts.

The three of them displayed great competence and accumulated five thousand points in just three months. That would allow one of them to become a disciple of the Misty South Palace.

Accumulating fifteen thousand points in two years would probably be a piece of cake for them.

But Ricky didn't intend to become a simple disciple of the Misty South Palace. He wanted to become a core disciple, and that meant he had to gain at least ten thousand points. Of course, that was the floor limit because other talented disciples would undoubtedly collect more points. He figured he must reach thirty thousand to forty thousand points so that he could at least reach the top ten.

For that goal, two years was too short.

Mordechai and Ella were well-aware of the situation as well. One of them said, "We have to kill a multitude of devils at once. If we don't, we'll run out of time, and you might not become a core disciple."

"That's what I was thinking as well. However, it's almost impossible to kill an upper spiritual emperor or a demi-saint of the devil race,"

Ricky murmured, deep in thought.

"Guys, I have an idea. Why don't we take out one of the devil race's strongholds?"

suggested Mordechai all of a sudden.
