Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 754 An Unknown Man Appeared

The only reason Celia managed to reach the third floor was because she had used her runic power of vibration. Yet she was still not strong enough to beat Ricky. Before she could even break out the runic power, Ricky had already surpassed her.

He casually waved his hand, making the golden shield over Celia's body vanish. "Well, you can leave now. I won't tell anyone about what happened here as long as you don't mess with me again.” "Humph!" Celia snorted as she turned on her heels to leave. She couldn't bear the thought to waste another second around him.

If only she had known how strong Ricky was—so strong that he could beat her—she wouldn't have offered to fight against him when Howell and Zach discussed on how to deal with him. Celia was a proud woman with a reputation to uphold. She wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Ricky again. She feared he would get back at her the only way he knew of and she wasn't looking any forward to facing the damage of others finding out she leaked the Vibration Ruin Manual to him. Even as the princess of the Eastern Empire, the senior leaders wouldn't spare her so easily.

"Celia's so naive. I bet she only tried to face me because Howell incited her,” Ricky sighed as he shook his head and watched the receding figure of Celia.

"You still threatened her even though you knew very well she's innocent,” Tina gently stated.

Ricky let out a chuckle. "Sure I did. Or I wouldn't have obtained the Vibration Ruin Manual," he responded with a smug grin on his face.

Regaining his seriousness back, Ricky began to focus when a black light started to form. It was time to pass through the third floor of the Soul Tower.

An hour later, he successfully reached the fourth floor.

The soul attack on the fourth floor was ten times more powerful than the former. The set of pounding skills was also way more challenging than the one Ricky had faced on the third floor. Fortunately, the time limit now was longer—fourteen hours.

In the end, despite the hard work, Ricky spent eight hours to get through that floor. A little over half of the time he still had left.

'If it weren't for the power of my four zones, I'm afraid it would be harder for me to make it through the fourth floor. I believe it's almost impossible for Kylie to pass it though. But Meade? If he has really made a breakthrough and become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, he would have a high chance to pass the fourth floor judging from his talent, * Ricky thought to himself.

“Anyway, Meade remains to be a powerful opponent in this competition. Whether I can get the Heaven Soul Stone all depends if I can defeat him.’

As soon as he got to the fifth floor, Ricky sensed right away something was off. It didn't take him much to realize the power generated from the soul was suppressing him. That meant the spiritual power at the fifth floor was even stronger than the one he had faced on the fourth.

If he was going to be honest, he didn't feel the spiritual power on the current floor to be just ten times stronger than the previous. This was definitely more.

Instantly, Ricky frowned.

"Tina, I think the fifth floor was designed by a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level," Ricky informed Tina by making use of his internal power.

"And how does it make any difference for you? You know what? Your level of comprehension of the runic power is no lower than the one of a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level. All you need is an opportunity to break through,” Tina said honestly.

"I might fail to break through when that opportunity comes, though," Ricky added next. "But anyway, I'll give it a try. Nothing is going to stop me."

Before the sound of his words could fade away, he had his eyes stuck on the soul attack that was starting to form into thin air.

"The soul attack is a condensed one!" Ricky said gravely as he observed the energy consolidating in the air. "This attack is way more destructive than the one on the fourth floor.”

Once the soul attack was completely condensed, it wouldn't take long to start to get brutal.

Boom! Boom! A loud and terrifying rumbling tore through the skies. Moreover, the mighty soul energy in the air surged and instantly transformed into a dark vault. As the sky split itself in two, an unknown ferocious beast roared out from it.

The attack was a threat even for Ricky. He was well aware that its power was no weaker than his own real strength

'Ilt seems this attack's power measures up to my own, * Ricky thought to himself.

Meanwhile, another invisible attack hit Ricky as he applied his spiritual power.

This was the so-called dual attack.

Unhesitatingly, Ricky hurried to activate the second level of Ultimate Golden Body. The power from the four zones in the deep side of his Soul Sea got mixed with the runes, and his own spiritual power then turned into a shield.

Ricky was aware that his spiritual power was greatly inferior to the one afflicting into this space. He would be unquestionably defeated if he blindly chose to hit back in the air. His only chance stood on defending himself instead.

Even so, he could barely resist this soul attack leaning on his power of four zones.

Still he wouldn't merely defend himself when the condensed soul attack dashed towards him. He needed to win this over once and for all.

All of a sudden, two balls of golden light radiated from Ricky's chest and turned into two giant palms.

"Massacring Omnipotent Skill—Massacring Golden Palms!"

Ricky roared. Right after, the golden purple galaxy energy emerged from his golden body and penetrated into his Massacring Golden Palms.

Bang! The sound of metal collision disrupted throughout the skies in a blink as two vicious figures crashed into each other forcefully in the air. Shortly, Ricky's body shocked, especially in the head. However, he wasn't able to disguise the damage inflicted whilst a fine line of blood shed from the corner of his mouth.

His soul was hurt. The soul attack from the space was stronger than his power. Nonetheless, he still succeeded. Ricky looked up at the sky and grinned despite the injuries.

The solid soul attack hit Ricky and forced him to retreat only for a few steps.

“Great! I thrived and passed the test on the fifth floor! The casting manual and the soul-restoring pill will be mine!" Ricky thought rather contently as he sat down and got himself a break to adjust and recollect his strength.

"As expected, he is the first one to pass all the tests,” Harrison murmured to himself outside the Soul Tower. "And more, he obtained the cultivation method of the Eastern Empire. He's really a lucky guy.

The cultivation method of the Eastern Empire contains the vibration rune. Even I am jealous!

Wait! What?" Harrison lifted both of his eyebrows astonished when two other warriors made their ways to the fifth floor. The first one was Meade, who was largely expected to get there. But what really caught Harrison's attention was the second warrior. He wasn't somebody he had ever laid his eyes on before.

The young man wore all black and an emotionless expression on his face as he carried himself through the fifth floor. Despite his handsome and intriguing look, he had a quite strange aura surrounding him.

"I've never seen this guy before and he has also made it to the fifth floor. Where on earth did he come from?" Harrison shook his head in confusion.

In the meantime, he was also excited to see another candidate. The more geniuses to show up, the better, and the happier he would be.

'lt's pleasant to have another warrior reaching the fifth floor. But whether you will be worth my attention or not remains unknown. Show me what you're capable of and fight on the fifth floor!" Harrison said inwardly.

Curious, he fixed his eyes on the young man in black. He was looking forward to seeing if the new guy would be able to successfully resist the soul attack on the fifth floor.

Throughout most of the trial, the mysterious man struggled hard with the soul attack. When Harrison was about to give up on him, he bounced back and finally made it victoriously.

"It's just unbelievable that this young man is a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level just as Meade," Harrison exclaimed. He was a little surprised and over the moon by the realization of the man’s strength.

"I've never anticipated that the Casting Center would have two casting geniuses through this current competition. That is what I'd call a fruitful result.”

Four hours later, the competition in the Soul Tower was officially over.
