CHAPTER 542 THE CASTING GENIUS
Ricky had become as popular as Jasper. Everyone was curious to know more about him.
Ricky's every little move was under the scrutiny of powerful warriors.
Everyone in the Oriental College already heard the news of Ricky and Victor's casting competition. It
spread like wildfire everywhere.
''Humph! Ace genius? You mean nothing to me!'' Victor sneered at Ricky with contempt.
''Save your shit!'' Ricky replied coldly, his voice filled with impatience. Victor's words didn't seem to
penetrate through Ricky's confident aura.
He immediately began selecting the casting materials he wanted to use. With the activation of the
Heaven Melting Fire and the Devouring Skill, he started the melting process. Victor was just another
nameless pawn for him. Ricky accepted his challenge only because he needed the three million gold
coins and the ancient black iron.
Keeping that in mind, Ricky ignored his words. Victor too, realized. Quietly, he also started his melting
process.
This competition was his only chance to defeat Ricky, an ace genius. He had already planned how he
would humiliate Ricky in front of all the disciples of the Oriental College. He played every moment of it
in his head several times.
However, he found it quite surprising that Ricky's melting skills were even more proficient than him. The
casting materials quickly melted under the scorching crimson fire released by Ricky.
...
''He really does know how to cast weapons. This technique is unheard of!'' All the disciples were in
disbelief. Even the powerful warriors hidden in the sky was startled. They too, discussed the scene with
each other by using their telepathic link.
Jaxon's face darkened. He had a hunch that Ricky had set up a trap for him. To be more accurate, he
almost volunteered to be the bait.
'Damn it! How can this bastard cast weapons? Judging by his technique and proficiency, he's
incomparable even among the casting masters of Demi-spirit Level, ' Jaxon thought to himself viciously.
However, his anxiety began to die down when he saw that Victor's speed of melting was also pretty
quick. He really wanted Victor to defeat Ricky.
''I believe in you, Victor!'' Jaxon couldn't do anything but pray to the god. He just had to keep faith in
Victor.
''Arrogant idiot! Only a true casting master might be able to surpass Ricky in terms of casting skills. A
casting master of Demi-spirit Level is no match for him.'' Soar secretly sneered at Jaxon and his forces.
He didn't want to say anything just yet.
'Open your eyes, foolish man. Ricky will show you what a true casting genius is.'
...
Four hours later, both Ricky and Victor completed the melting process.
''Humph! Melting skill is only the first step of the process. It does not determine anything. The casting of
an advanced weapon is characterized by many special elements.'' Victor glared and snorted at Ricky.
Ricky completely disregarded his futile attempts of provocation. He was confident that his attainments
would destroy Victor and he would not be able to hold ground.
With a wicked smile on his face, Ricky took out the hammer and activated his enlightening power. He
began to beat the materials with a combination of the Devouring Skill and the Chaotic Fire Skill. Victor
wouldn't lag behind. He also started beating his materials with different skills.
Cling! Clang! Bang! The whole Weapon Casting Department was filled with the rhythmic sound of
beating.
Pulled by the beating sound, all the disciples sank into the casting realm created by it.
However, they soon realized that actually there were two different sounds and casting realms created
by Ricky and Victor. As one sound drove them to sink into a state of inspiration, the other made them
feel disturbed.
The longer they listened to the two different sounds, the disparity between them became more and
more obvious.
Purely out of curiosity, they looked at the casting square, trying to figure out who made which sound.
With great concentration, they discovered that the rhythmic sound was created by Ricky while the noise
was created by Victor.
''We have underestimated Ricky. His casting skill is even more proficient than a casting master of
Demi-spirit Level.'' Cries of acclaim and shock filled the air.
''Look! Judging by the runic power he released in the process of casting, he is definitely highly skilled in
weapon casting, '' a disciple commented insightfully.
''Besides, his Pounding Skill is extraordinary. Victor's Pounding Skill is also proficient. However, it has This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
been completely overshadowed, making it sound boisterous.''
''I'm afraid the Jiang Clan is bound to lose five million gold coins this time.''
''I agree!'' ''They were too proud and smug to challenge Ricky without knowing anything about his
casting skills.''
''The Jiang Clan is doomed to fail. We'd better seize this opportunity and enjoy this melodious casting
realm created by Ricky.''
Many disciples stopped talking and began to focus, so as to comprehend this new realm.
So did the powerful warriors hidden in the sky. This new surprise by Ricky still lingered in their minds.
''Master, what do you think about Ricky?'' In the distance, the woman in white looked at the man in
black with her eyes filled with disbelief.
''Genius! He is undoubtedly a genius in weapon casting. His casting realm has reached perfection!'' the
elder in black acclaimed as his hands trembled with excitement.
''I have decided to make him my disciple and guide him to comprehend the supreme enlightenment of
casting.
How perfect his casting realm is! His gifts for casting is incomparable!" the man went on.
...
''Damn it! Holy shit!'' Jaxon was furious with Ricky. He murmured curses in a deep voice with resentful
eyes.
He tried to disgrace Ricky, but his efforts were in vain. Even before the competition was over, everyone
already knew it would be Ricky's victory.
'Go to hell! He must die!' Jaxon clutched his fists tightly. His bosom filled with boundless wrath.
He was so jealous of Ricky's talent for casting weapons. He knew he could not surpass Ricky even if
he became a true casting master of Spirit Level in the future. It could be said that Ricky's casting realm
was even more perfect than a casting master casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level.
''No!'' Victor suddenly let out a scream.
Distracted by Ricky's attainments in casting, he lost control of his enlightening power and accidentally,
knocked down his own casting table.
Nobody could remain calm after witnessing Ricky's casting realm and Victor was no exception. It was a
unique method to reach perfection. As a result, Victor lost control of the casting rhythm he had created
and failed miserably.
