Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 761 Making A Breakthrough And Fight Back

Ricky hadn't been much aware of what was going on around him—he also couldn't care less if he was going to be honest about it. After beating Meade, he knew he had to clear his head and to get his focus back on casting.

Along with Meade's defeat, Ricky was positive that Lynch would no longer attempt against him. Clang! Clang! Clang! All Ricky's attention was on casting. His casting realm was nearly getting to a state of perfection. It was evident how much it was increasing by the second as well as his casting skill.

"It seems he's improving his strength now. I wonder what he's going to pull off next. This is really extraordinary. He's probably the only one who can make a breakthrough under such a circumstance!" Warriors around couldn't help but notice as they felt Ricky's continuous growing. "Damn it! What's this brat doing here? He's ruining everything!" Sellers hissed full of resentment as he watched the turn of events.

He had informed the Luxurious Emperor and his men that Ricky was in the Casting Center. Since there was no way they could make a move against Ricky in the open, not in the Casting Center at least, the Luxurious Emperor just decided not to show up at all.

Nevertheless, Sellers was still uneasy and eager to stop Ricky from messing with things further. Still, there was no way out. He had to control himself in order to avoid doing something stupid. Cameron and Harrison were definitely watching him, which undermined any chance of action. It was painful but Sellers could only bite his lip and swallow his annoyance.

"What should we do now, Sellers? I'm afraid your disciple has almost been crippled by this brat. I don't want to take the risk and throw any realm attacks against him," Lynch said to Sellers in secret. "Of course we can't expect to take him down with realm attacks anymore. I hate to admit it but there is something in both his spiritual power and his casting realm that feels dangerous,” Sellers replied coldly.

"Are you sure?" Lynch was shocked with the honesty he felt from Sellers's response. "It is said that the casting manual he holds is very extraordinary. Perhaps these aren't just rumors.

But I have to say that you really are a ruthless man, Sellers. You know Ricky is dangerous but you still allow your disciple to face him with the realm attacks. Don't you think this is sending your man to a suicide mission?"

By then, Lynch came to finally realize how merciless the man on his side could be.

"Meade is my disciples, and he will be my tool when I need him to be. A powerful man must be cold and ruthless. Don't you agree, Lynch?" Sellers sneered.

Lynch laughed. "Let's just drop the issue. How should we deal with this genius?" Lynch- asked and changed the topic.

Honestly, he didn't care about getting the Heaven Soul Stone. The only reason he was pursuing it was simply to help Sellers and nothing else. Of course, he would feel differently if the Heaven Soul Stone was to be his once he got it. But this wouldn't be the case.

"You don't need to worry about what's going on with him. You should focus on trying your best to cast the weapon. Even if he makes a breakthrough, he won't be able to compete against you with those newly learned skills,” Sellers urged in an authoritative voice.

"It seems to be the best way now." Lynch nodded.

Then, concentrating on nothing but his goal, he focused on weapon casting.

"It looks like that Lynch was frightened by what Ricky could achieve and gave up throwing his strike now," some warrior said upon seeing that.

"That's completely understandable. He might be stronger than Meade, but I'm afraid he still can't take Ricky down. If so, it's expected that he ends up just like his friend. It isn't wise to attack Ricky right now.”

As the short discussion wrapped up, the square went back to silence. Everyone held their breath, anxious to see how things were going to unfold.

Meanwhile, Meade and Howell also came back to their senses after their failure and began to cast again. However, they couldn't control their feelings. With their prides hurt, they were only able to feel the anger towards Ricky. Unfortunately, this would only hurt the weapons they casted as they were no longer as good and powerful as they could be.

Therefore, they had failed in one way or another.

Naturally, since Meade was a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, he was still fit to win the third place—considering he was just unable to beat Lynch and Ricky.

Sadly, this also meant that no one cared for him anymore. All eyes were fixed on Ricky at that point. Everyone was just waiting for a miraculous breakthrough to occur to him any minute now.

Ricky was improving by the second, both in his pounding speed and his casting realm. He was fighting an intense battle within himself. Thankfully, he was the only winner.

Sweat was dripping from Ricky's forehead as the transformations went on. Time kept running its course when, all of a sudden, his casting changed without a warning.

At first glance, he had just slowed down his pounding speed. Then, from what the other warriors could perceive, it seemed his casting realm had gradually stopped improving.

Ricky, on the other hand, looked relaxed for the time being.

However, everything about Ricky felt different. Something deeper was seizing his casting now.

"It seems he has successfully become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level! He made it!" Warriors around cheered as they realized the miraculous scene they had just witnessed. "If he survives and keeps up with these breakthroughs, he'll dominate the whole Eastern Land sooner or later,” a warrior commented in awe and appreciation.

"Cameron, I have to say that he really is a genius who is more powerful than we've dared to imagine,” Harrison uttered telepathically. He was astonished about Ricky's accomplishment.

"He's almost there now. Let's see what kind of weapon he can cast next,” Cameron murmured as he measured Ricky carefully.

If a gaze could cast a hole, it would be the one Sellers regarded Ricky with. His face was dark with rage and his jaw clenched before his foe's breakthrough.

While everyone else stood amazed by Ricky's achievement, he was slowly coming back to his senses after being deeply involved in the process. Excited, he thought to himself, “Thank God, I've finally become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level. The chromatic energy really didn't disappoint. Thank you for your help this time.’

Although he was delighted, he was also humble enough to admit that it was due to the chromatic energy that he was able to level up this time. Anyone would agree Ricky was a true genius, but his talent played no part at his latest breakthrough. Yet, there was no denying his perseverance and boldness helped him with it. He was certainly dignified.

"Now I'm coming for payback,” Ricky ruminated unsympathetic.

Several times he had been bullied; now it was his enemy's turn to feel the stingy taste of humiliation. He wasn't a doormat who would take a beat and not fight back when given the chance. His counterattack was naturally aimed at Lynch, the strongest one.

Ricky knew he had to throw a strike instead of casting a weapon if he wanted to stand a chance. He had just made a breakthrough and wasn't as proficient as Lynch. Any weapon he casted would likely be inferior to his rival's.

He was determined to win this game once and for all. Now that the realm attack was allowed in the competition, he wouldn't pull his punches.

There was no time for hesitation. Ricky promptly gathered the energy of his casting realm along with the four runic powers and integrated them with the chromatic energy. As Lynch was still concentrated on his casting, Ricky's combined powers quickly turned into a forceful strike and went straight to the enemy.

"Ricky is attacking!" some warrior blurted after seeing Ricky in action.

"It looks like he's been holding a grudge. He's been attacked so many times that now he wants his opponents to have a taste of his fury.”

"It seems this bright guy is well familiarized with his own weakness and has found a way to get around the issue,” Cameron said with a grin. He was hyped up, too. The way he saw it, if Ricky was smart enough to admit his own shortcoming in this game, he had already won the battle.

“Damn it! How dare this brat attack me!" Lynch thought resentfully when met by Ricky's strike.

He, like all the others on his side, had always perceived themselves as the predators and the only ones strong enough to attack in a battle. Not for a moment did they consider getting hit first. Sellers fidgeted. He could no longer sit back and watch how nasty things looked for them.
