Chapter 614 The Golden Flame Mutant And The Golden Holy Fire (1/2)
When Tobias lunged his fist towards Ricky, the fight ended in a tie. Tobias realized that Ricky could actually match his strength. Even though Tobias didn't get the upper hand in the fierce fight, he didn't get hurt either.
Tobias and his men never imagined this to be result of the battle.
Tobias only fought with his right arm, but it didn't prevent him from summoning all his strength. For that last punch, he remembered using ninety percent of his energy, but it didn't cause any visible damage to Ricky.
He didn't consider Ricky to be potent enough as an opponent, and so, Tobias was very confident and at ease with the idea of defeating Ricky. However, the result of the battle surprised him, and he couldn't help but wonder about Ricky's power.
Ricky's strength was undoubtedly comparable to any first-class middle spiritual king's, just as Tobias'.
”Gosh! It's hard to believe that Ricky has such immense power!” Terrence muttered, gaping at Ricky.
Although he appeared to be shocked, he very well knew that Ricky had been keeping his real strength from others. So, when he revealed his best moves, Terrance couldn't contain his excitement.
'But, how did he do it? Just because he refined that half of Enlightening Fruit?' Terrence thought to himself.

As per Terrence, that half of the Enlightening Fruit was the leading cause of Ricky's powerful strength. It enabled Ricky to elevate his power to the level of a first-class middle spiritual king's. But, one thing Terrence didn't know was that there was a huge gap between Ricky's efficiency of refining the Enlightening Fruit and others'. Ricky was way ahead of his rivals in the refining process, and this couldn't be attributed to the fruit.
Here, Terrence was able to absorb at most twenty percent of the enlightening power from the Enlightening Fruit. But, since Ricky possessed the four zones, he could easily absorb every bit of its enlightening power.
Under those circumstances, even if Ricky only refined one Enlightening Fruit, the energy he absorbed was five times more than others.
It was no wonder that only with one half of the Enlightening Fruit, Ricky was able to achieve such significant progress in improving strength.
Moreover, once Ricky had refined the Glazed Fruit, he had already reached the top level of a second-class lower spiritual king. So, the Enlightening Fruit enabled him to become a first-class lower spiritual king.
...
”How do you have such intense power? How is it that your strength is equal to a first-class middle spiritual king's?” Tobias roared as he firmly landed on the ground. Seething with anger, he looked at Ricky with an icy cold stare. There was burning hatred in his ey
