Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 744 The Casting Center

"Scar, do you have any idea where I can go to improve my strength?” Ricky asked Scar hopefully. He strongly believed that Scar would know something favorable for him.

"Well, I'm not quite sure actually. Before the battle for the Sense of Realm, the Casting Center will hold a casting competition in the Eastern Land. I think that would probably be a good opportunity for you,” Scar replied thoughtfully.

"The Casting Center? What is it?" Ricky asked curiously because he had never heard about the place before now.

"The Casting Center is an alignment of all the Casting Guilds in the whole Eastern Land. It is no exaggeration to say that the Casting Center is one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Land. All the five chiefs of the Casting Center are casting masters of Demi-sage Level," Scar explained patiently.

"Cameron from the Oriental College is the fourth chief of it."

"Oh? I didn't know that he had another identity!" Ricky exclaimed. He should have known there was something more to that guy.

"The main reason why the Casting Center stands out among all the forces is that the first and second chiefs of the Casting Center are also spiritual emperors,” Scar added.

"That makes sense. Only when one combines his power and casting skills can he be strong enough to bring honor to his organization,” Ricky commented. "But truth be told, although I want to enhance my casting ability, I prefer to improve my strength for the time being.”

"I have to tell you Ricky, you've got it all completely wrong," Scar interrupted, alarmed when he heard that Ricky was not interested in casting now.

"Those who will participate in the casting competition are all talented casting masters of their respective organizations. They are more powerful than any talent you have ever met. Why is that? That is because they practice utilizing runes and improve their strengths at the same time. You would make great progress if you have the chance to fight against them. Do you understand what I mean?" Scar scrutinized Ricky for a second before he continued, "What's more, I heard that the reward of the casting competition is exceptional. If you can get it, it will not be difficult for you to break through and become an upper spiritual king."

"Oh? Really? What is the reward? I'm starting to grow interested in it," Ricky asked.

"The rewards change each time. However, there is one thing that never changes. It's the Heaven Soul Stone!" Scar said as his eyes glinted involuntarily. There was a hint of desire in his eyes as he announced the prize.

"The Heaven Soul Stone? What is that? What is its effect?" Ricky asked, still clueless although he noticed that Scar seemed to value the prize highly.

"The Heaven Soul Stone is a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level," Scar explained.

"What? A Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level?" Ricky repeated in surprise as his eyes widened when he realized how exceptional the prize truly was. It was no wonder why he was surprised and excited to hear it. Even a spiritual emperor would want to have a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the advanced King Level.

"Yes. To be frank, the Heaven Soul Stone is as strong and valuable as a Treasure from Heaven and Earth at the Demi-saint Level!" Scar added excitedly, carried away by Ricky's enthusiastic reception of this information.

"Unbelievable! But why?" Ricky asked in disbelief.

"It is all because of its unique effect. Which part of a creature is the weakest part? Without any doubt, the soul! When a creature becomes a spiritual king, the soul begins to grow in his body," Scar explained to Ricky.

"Yes, I know about the story of the soul. The soul in my body is an incomplete one," Ricky stated. "Yes. Only when one becomes a completed spiritual king could his soul grow to be a complete one. But it is also the weakest when it becomes a complete soul.”

Scar then paused for a second. He seemed like he wanted to say more but had trouble finding the words. "It matters not if a warrior practices the cultivation method or casting skills. His ultimate powers come from the soul. Soul is the fundamental base of any innate spirit.

Once a warrior refines the Heaven Soul Stone, their soul would be more concrete. A middle spiritual king's soul would be able to reach the upper spiritual king level, an upper spiritual king's soul would reach the completed king level, and a completed spiritual king's soul would be close to the demi- spiritual emperor level. If a demi-spiritual emperor refines it, their power of the soul would soar. Once the soul is enhanced, the creature would become more talented in both cultivation methods and casting skills.

So, if you can get the Heaven Soul Stone, your soul would be able to grow up to the upper spiritual king level. You are talented and it would be a piece of cake for you to become an upper spiritual king. You could probably manage it in just a few minutes,” Scar said. He talked on and on with few pauses in between as if he wanted to teach Ricky everything he had ever heard. Scar did not stop until he told everything he knew about the Heaven Soul Stone.

"It seems that I must go to the Casting Center now," Ricky said as a determined fire burned in his eyes.

"Yes. Please go ahead. And don't worry, you will be safe there. Cameron has a good relationship with the first and second chiefs of the Casting Center. I'm sure the Luxurious Emperor of the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce would not dare hurt you when two chiefs have got your back,” Scar said.

"But what I'm not sure is that whether the two chiefs would grow greedy after they learn that you own the inheritance of Massacring Holy Ant tribe.”

"It's okay. Now that I've decided to go there, these worries are just minor problems. The world is full of dangers everywhere. You can't get what you want unless you take the risk," Ricky said to soothe Scar.

Then, Ricky and Scar arranged for the members of the Misty South Palace to head for the Saber Hall located in the Oriental Realm. Every one of the Misty South Palace was excited. They knew that they would only make greater progress in a greater realm.

Ricky gave Scar a spiritual space tool. It was the Mind Palace Model he got from the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce.

At first, he had planned to give Scar the spiritual space tool he robbed from Luke and Tyler. But somehow, he sensed that the spiritual space tool was not as simple as it looked.

This was probably because Ricky was not strong enough to identify its level yet.

That spiritual space tool was a palace. It had three floors and each floor contained more spaces than the lower floor.

This spiritual space tool was called the Stygian Palace Model.

According to Tina's assumption, it was highly possible that this spiritual space tool was no weaker than a saint weapon. There was a high possibility that it was restrained by some mysterious power. Ricky did not bother to think about it yet. He believed that he would be able to know everything when the right time came.

What made Ricky upset was that he could not destroy the heads of Luke and Tyler. He would have destroyed them if he had the power, but he was forced to suppress them instead.

"Oh, Ricky, only you would be so generous as to give your subordinate a spiritual weapon at the intermediate stage,” Scar said as he laughed delightedly.

"Ha-ha. I'll just consider that a praise. Otherwise, you would not have treated me with sincerity.” Ricky smiled when he saw how pleased Soar was.

Later, Scar told the members of the Misty South Palace to enter the Mind Palace Model before he carried it and headed for the Saber Hall.

As for Ricky, he set off for the Casting Center.

This time, he did not ask Soar or Henry to accompany with him. It would only be a waste of time for them anyway. So Ricky thought it would be better for them to search for opportunities elsewhere. He was not alone, though. Tina and Pearl went with him.

They also agreed that they would meet when the battle for the Sense of Realm was about to start. As he started his journey, Ricky put on a mask so he could avoid unwanted attention before he reached the Casting Center. That would save him a lot of time because he knew he would waste precious time dealing with unexpected troubles brought on by his face and reputation.

He released Tina and Pearl from the Chaotic Fire Zone.

During the trip, Ricky did not waste his time and practiced the Shadowy Emperor Replication and Massacring Holy Attack along the way.

He wanted to improve his strength and become a first-class middle spiritual king.

Along the way, a bold idea sprang into his mind as he practiced the Shadowy Emperor Replication. Now that the shadow could create a duplication, could he also make duplications of his peculiar fire and sacred fire?

It would be amazing if that was possible. The peculiar fire and sacred fire were extremely powerful fires after all.

Presumably, other creatures would not be able to do that, but Ricky was different. He owned four zones and he was confident that he could make it.

Determined, Ricky began to try anyway.
