Born Almighty Warrior -
Chapter 757 Alliance
"Oh, I didn’t expect you to be afraid,” Cameron taunted Ricky after he heard his question.
"Sir, I'm not afraid. But you know that I have already offended many spiritual-emperor forces. It would be unwise for me to be hated by one more spiritual emperor who is also a casting master of Demi-sage Level," Ricky uttered with a small shrug.
"Don't worry. Gorden has a good relationship with Sellers, but this doesn't mean he is allied with Sellers. He knows that you have passed his Casting Path. I think the reason he wants to hand over the Heaven Soul Stone to the first place in person is that he wants to see you,” Cameron informed Ricky with a smile.
"In that case, I am relieved. I really can't afford to offend such a powerful man,” Ricky said with a sigh of relief.
He knew when he should push back and when he should go with the flow. Even though he was backed by the Oriental College, they would still feel the pressure dealing with the Casting Center. Moreover, Ricky knew that he had to be strong and he had to improve his own strength to be a truly fearless person.
"There is no time limit on the competition, but you only have one chance, so use it wisely. That's all I needed to say. You guys can start your casting now!" Sellers announced in an authoritative voice. With this said, the three chiefs of the Casting Center sat back in midair with their legs crossed. They looked expectantly at the twenty people who started casting at the signal.
They started as one, all eager to win
"Ricky, do you think you could do this?" Tina asked at this moment.
"Tina, this is my moment. After this, there will only be two outcomes: victory or failure! I can do this," Ricky said seriously.
It was true that Ricky had not yet become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, but he was very close to that. In the past three days, he had made more than a dozen castings in the Chaotic Fire Zone. He might not have succeeded but he learned a lot.
"Okay, I believe you! But please be careful. I can see evil intentions in Howell's and others’ eyes. They may make trouble for you during the casting process,” Tina warned him with concern in her eyes.
"Attacking is not allowed in this competition!" Ricky protested in surprise.
"Ricky, you need to be careful. During the competition, they may work together to launch spiritual attacks on you because spiritual attacks are allowed," Kylie said to Ricky telepathically.
"Seriously?" Ricky asked uncertainly. He was not aware of that. Thankfully, Kylie was able to inform him ahead of time.
If that were the case, he could already imagine what he would face later during the casting process. "This is what real casting is like. When you compete on casting, you also compete on spiritual attacks. Finley and I can repel only one attack each for your sake. I'm afraid our spiritual energy combined cannot bear more than two attacks,” Kylie said.
"Kylie, I really appreciate that you and Finley are willing to help me in this way, but your goodwill is enough for me. You can concentrate on your casting. If they launch an attack against my soul, I will take an eye for an eye," Ricky told Kylie. Gratitude colored his tone of voice and his eyes sparkled brightly.
"After all, I'm not a punching bag. I will hit them back."
After he said that, Ricky turned to look at Howell and others with his sharp eyes, which put great pressure on them and even made them feel a little scared.
"Humph! Ricky, you haven't even made a breakthrough and become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level yet. Even if you have become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, it would still be impossible for you to get the first prize,” Howell communicated telepathically to Ricky after he recovered from the spike of fear he felt when their eyes met.
"Only Meade is qualified to take the Heaven Soul Stone. And only he is qualified to cultivate forever in the Soul Tower."
"Really? Maybe you're right. You know, sometimes it's not easy to be a lackey," Ricky responded with an eyebrow raised.
"What did you say?" Howell narrowed his eyes at Ricky.
"Haha, you know what I mean,” Ricky responded with a smile before he ignored Howell, as if he had gotten bored of him easily.
"Kylie, Finley, please don't step in this time. I have my own way of dealing with them. My counterattack against them might hurt you if you get involved," Ricky warned Kylie and Finley telepathically.
"It seems that you're very confident, Ricky. I know you're an ace genius with peerless power. But if you really need my help, please don't hesitate to tell me. After all, neither Kylie nor I have any chance to get the Heaven Soul Stone now. Cultivating in the Soul Tower for a few months doesn't sound appealing to us at all. We would rather fight against them together with you.”
Finley wanted to make sure that Ricky knew he always had support in them.
"Haha, thank you, Finley. I won't hesitate to ask for your help if necessary,” Ricky said in a warm voice, obviously touched.
Then, Ricky turned his attention and concentrated on the melting stage. He couldn't fail, so he was very meticulous in the melting process. He even activated the Heaven Illuminating Fire.
He knew he had only one chance.
In the melting process, Howell and others wouldn't attack him. They could only attack him in the beating process.
After the melting process, Ricky entered the beating stage and started beating. At least, that was what he wanted the people to think. Particularly, Howell and his gang of bullies.
"Ricky, be careful! They are going to attack!" To Ricky's surprise, he heard Celia in his mind.
"Celia, now that I have promised you that I wouldn't tell anyone, you can be sure that I won't. You don't have to do anything against your will because of what happened in the Soul Tower," Ricky replied.
"You're right, Ricky. I'm simply worried about that. Please be warned that I will pretend to join in their attack. I hope you won't misunderstand me," Celia mentally whispered to him. Obviously, she was concerned but could not outwardly show it.
"Huh! How innocent she is!" Ricky thought to himself, amused with her way of affection.
Boom!
As soon as Ricky finished his thought, he sensed ten spiritual attacks which were combined with the runic power at the same time. There was no doubt that these ten attacks were from Howell and his fellows.
Among the ten attacks, Ricky felt three strong spiritual attacks. He guessed that they were from Howell, Zach, and Celia. And as Celia said, she did not truly attack Ricky.
'Ilt's really generous of you to attack me together with the power of nine casting masters at the inferior stage of Spirit Level at the same time. But it's too naive of you to believe that you can defeat me with this, * Ricky sneered inwardly. The lot of them were cowards, bound together by the knowledge that they could not defeat him by themselves.
Ricky gathered the power of the four zones and his runic power, and turned them into a shield to defend his Soul Sea.
He busied himself in defense but refused to attack.
"Ricky, you must be careful. If your soul got hurt before the competition comes to an end, you would never be able to cast a weapon at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level in the following casting process,” Tina reminded him.
"Tina, even if I didn't want to fight back, there's nothing else I can do now. They are the ones who attacked me first. I'll just let them do what they want for a while,” Ricky said.
With a secret smile, Ricky reduced the resistance of his runic power. He pretended to have difficulty as he resisted their attacks. A cold sweat came out on his forehead.
"It seems that his spiritual power is not as strong as we thought, Howell,” Zach noted to Howell telepathically. He was grinning widely. He fully believed that they were winning.
