Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 747 On The Way

The figure was Ricky. He had drawn all attentions from those who were present. Even Linda and Tony forgot they were fighting against the runic power as they shifted their attention to the black shadow.

"Who is he?" the warriors muttered to each other. They were all aghast.

High up in the sky, Harrison and two elders were both taken aback as well.

The comparison and huge difference was hard to deny and ignore for them. How could they forget that the three disciples of the Casting Center took longer time to pass the sixth and seventh stages than Ricky did?

"How is that even possible?’ Harrison thought in disbelief.

"How is that possible? How could he have passed the seventh stage and reached the eighth in no time?" It was difficult for the witnesses to overcome their huge disbelief.

It didn't help that Ricky directly jumped through the hundred-meter distance of the seventh stage and reached the eighth.

The intense shock was immediately followed by a profound silence. Everyone stared at the black shadow, as if they were dreaming.

The deadly silence didn't last long as Ricky opened his mouth and lazily said, "It seems that the Casting Path isn't much of a difficult or challenging place to get on. I simply took one step and now I'm at the eighth stage.”

Ricky's comment snapped everybody out of their reverie.

"What was that? He made the eighth stage sound extremely easy!" All the other warriors were not really happy about Ricky's words. They were infuriated.

"Where did this guy come from?"

Several of them were still struggling to reach the fifth stage. The sixth and seventh stages were as unreachable as the sky and they could only dare to think about it.

And yet, here comes Ricky, a guy fairly unknown to them, who reached the eighth stage so effortlessly. It was a stage that only casting geniuses would be able to reach. They had witnessed it with their naked eyes.

Even the three geniuses of the Casting Center made tremendous efforts to get to the eighth stage. Though Meade had already reached the ninth stage, he also found it extremely difficult to be where he was, back when he was still at the eighth stage.

It was all too different for Ricky. He had not even broken a single sweat as he accelerated to the eighth stage.

The warriors present envied him. Linda and Tony were completely forgotten. The two had likewise forgotten what they were doing because they were distracted by Ricky's deliberate display of his abilities.

"Where does this guy really come from? How can he possess such excellent casting talent?” Grumbling voices whispered and exclaimed left and right.

"Harrison, it seems that we have ourselves an extraordinary genius this time!" an elder exclaimed, communicating using their internal power. "He might even be the genius who can finally break the record.”

"The ninth and tenth stages are not easy. It is still too early to say whether he could pass the two stages or not." Harrison was unfazed by Ricky's easy ascend to the eighth stage. Though he would not admit it, Harrison himself was also among those who were shocked.

Ricky hadn't used the runic power to hold against the runic pressure at the eighth stage, which meant that his talent exceeded that of the three disciples of the Casting Center.

"How about that, Pearl?" Ricky smirked, awaiting for Pearl's reply.

As a man, of course Ricky didn't want to be mocked by Pearl

"Humph! Tell me that again when you've accomplished the ninth and tenth stages and have your hand on the opportunity,” Pearl replied, seemingly unmoved by Ricky's achievement. Deep down, however, Pearl, too, was impressed and pleasantly surprised.

She was also aware of how the three disciples of the Casting Center struggled in this Casting Path. "Is that so? Let's wait and see!" Ricky smiled back, now donning a cold expression on his face.

He then turned his attention to the end of the tenth stage.

After some time, the envious warriors had finally calmed down. They had all resigned themselves and decided to quit guessing the truth behind Ricky's identity. They all wanted to know how far Ricky would go, and whether he could surpass Meade or not.

Though the eighth stage was easy for Ricky, he could still feel the pressure.

The pressure originated from the runic power possessing invisible strikes that went after the souls of the creatures that made it to the eighth stage.

In order to put an end to those invisible attacks, the creatures must decompose the strikes using their understanding of the runes. This was a test for the casting talent.

If they were unable to use their understanding of the runes, the power would suppress their soul. Once their soul was suppressed, then the body couldn't move, leaving the body of the person taking the test to be powerless to even take a step forward

Boom! The momentum surged. Ricky immediately activated the massacring runes, instantly eliminating the invisible attacks. He kept heading towards the end without much obstacles hindering his path.

All the other warriors who were initially envious of Ricky, were now used to witnessing him go about smoothly over the challenges that awaited him within the eighth stage.

After activating the chaotic fire runes, Ricky successfully passed the eighth stage and stepped on the ninth.

"Is the cultivation of double runes the reason why he made it to the ninth stage without much struggle?” several warriors whispered to each other.

However, they realized they were wrong right away. As Ricky stepped into the ninth stage, he activated the devouring runes. The three runes surrounded his body.

"Damn, three runes!" cursed some of the warriors.

"Harrison, I heard that the three runes happen to belong to the genius that everybody's been talking about for the past days. Is this correct?” Just then, the two elders had already guessed Ricky's true identity.

After all, there wouldn't be any other genius as talented as Ricky in the whole world.

"If so, then he possesses four runes. None of us have anticipated that he would return this time, because many people are keeping their eyes glued on his holy legacy,” Harrison stated.

"I didn’t think that he would come. Though he doesn't reveal his true identity, it is very courageous for him to bring himself here.”

Harrison then shot a glance at Ricky expectantly and curiously.

As he was at the last few steps of the ninth stage, Ricky activated the gale runes. Now surrounded by the four runes, Ricky made it to the tenth stage unscathed.

When Ricky stepped onto the tenth stage and revealed his four runes, the warriors around him were neither surprised nor caught off guard.

For one thing, they were already getting used to it. At the same time, they had also guessed his true identity. Over time, the four runes had already become a signature of Ricky.

However, Ricky didn't care about it at all. The only thing he had in mind was to get past the last hundred meters and seize the very opportunity he had been setting his eyes on since the moment he stepped foot at that place.

He had to admit though that he had underestimated the tenth stage. As he set foot on the final stage, he instantly felt pressure that was so intense, he got down on one knee.

All the other warriors wouldn't believe it at first, but there were clearly beads of sweat that had formed on Ricky's forehead.

"Harrison, it seems that though he has the power of four runes, he has now started to feel pressure,” Gorden remarked calmly as he eagerly observed and anticipated how Ricky would traverse through the final stage of the test.

"If it had been that easy to pass the tenth stage, then it will not be deemed as an opportunity for the spiritual emperors and the casting masters of Demi-sage Level in the first place,” Harrison noted. "Let's see whether he can pass it or not."
