Chapter 521 The Gale Strike (1/2)

When Ricky reached the famous Palace of Gravity, he had yet again caught the attention of many other disciples, as always. Of course, he could feel the glare of all of them on him. He could feel that some of them were looking at him with admiration and friendliness, yet he could perceive that others stared at him with contempt.

However, he simply dismissed these perceptions of his, ignored all of these stares and went into the palace straight away.

The watchman of the Palace of Gravity was a grey-haired old man, who seemed to be highly respected as all the disciples who went in and out of the palace were extremely deferential to him, having their heads bowed while facing him. Whether they truly respected him or not, at least all of them called him ”sir” most reverently.

While contemplating and interrogating with his powers of the four zones, Ricky got to know that the old man was a strong completed spiritual king, and a veteran among all his peers here. It was no wonder that he enjoyed a high prestige.

”Hello, sir! My name is Ricky Nan, and I would like to learn more techniques, cultivate myself fully and practice in this amazing Palace of Gravity for a month. I have heard so many good things about this place,” Ricky stated with the same reverence that other disciples showed the old man, and presented his well-earned jade tablet proudly to him at once.

There were restrictions to the Palace of Gravity. Since only the disciples of the Oriental College were allowed to step into the Palace of Gravity, it was required that the jade tablet should be the only passport for registration. Ricky had learned the rules of the college by heart, so he was ready beforehand and proudly showed his identity even before the old man asked him to.

”Ricky Nan? So you must be the ace genius they've been talking about these days, aren't you?” asked the old man, looking up and scrutinizing Ricky, focusing on his reaction once he heard his name. There was sparkling sharpness in his pair of old eyes. Ricky couldn't help but sense the disdain in his tone quite clearly.

Ricky was in utter confusion. 'If I'm not mistaken, this old guy is a spiritual king beast. If I should ever offend a spiritual king beast, he should either come from the Ruin Leopard tribe or the Golden Rhino tribe. Have I missed anyone who isn't from these two tribes?' Ricky thought quickly.

”This is really interesting. I heard that the Bing Clan has been very kind to Earle. Let's see how he will seize the opportunity and avenge his benefactor.” Ricky heard some of the disciples present whisper with amusement, and this answered the many questions he had been toying with in his mind.

'Ah, so, all of this is for the Bing Clan, and this old guy's name is Earle, ' Ricky thought and smiled, especially since he knew what he would be dealing with.

”Pity. Now only the rooms on the ground floor are available. Will that be okay with you?” asked Earle with a sneer, clearly with no good intentions. He was no longer looking at Ricky, as if he wouldn't care about this so-called ace genius.
