CHAPTER 745 CASTING PATH
Along the way, Ricky, Tina and Pearl cultivated their energy as well.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the realm where the Casting Center was.
When they were about to reach this realm, Tina and Pearl promptly returned to the Massacring Zone.
Tina was extremely beautiful and graceful. They could get into unnecessary trouble if she was seen by
others.
Pearl could not appear in public either, because every innate spiritual king in the Eastern Land knew
her and she would be instantly recognized as soon as she was spotted.
This realm was well known for weapon casting. The warriors here loved weapon casting far more than This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
martial arts.
Almost all the dealings in every city here were about weapon casting. They dealt with casting materials,
casting technologies and casting products.
In some of the cities, Ricky also checked out the casting materials he would need. That was because
he had found that the Iron Destroyer seemed to fit him poorly, now that his strength had reached an
upper spiritual king's.
'It seems that I really have been left behind in terms of weapon casting. Now that I'm going to take part
in the casting competition, I must become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level
first. Otherwise, I would not be able to enhance my Iron Destroyer that matches my level, ' Ricky
thought to himself. He was disappointed in himself that he let his casting be this weak compared to his
strength.
While collecting casting materials, Ricky began inquiring about the top casting geniuses in this realm.
After his investigation, he obtained information on three outstanding disciples of the Casting Center.
These were Meade Han, the disciple of Sellers, the third chief of the Casting Center, Finley Zhuo, the
disciple of Harrison, the fifth chief of the Casting Center, and finally Kylie, the disciple of Cameron, the
fourth chief of the Casting Center.
The first chief, Todd, and the second chief, Gorden, of the Casting Center did not have any disciple.
Perhaps, their standards were so high so they didn't have the desire to teach any of the geniuses in the
whole Eastern Land.
After all, the two of them were not only casting masters of Demi-sage Level, but also warriors of
Emperor Level. They were very likely to become casting masters of Sage Level. Maybe this could
explain why they disdained ordinary geniuses.
The three people Ricky noted were the best young casting masters in the Eastern Land. They were all
casting masters at the inferior stage of Spirit Level.
Many days had passed, so there was a great possibility that they had already become casting masters
at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level.
In addition, the three people were also quite talented in respect to martial arts. With the help of their
runic power, they were on par with the top geniuses from spiritual-emperor forces.
'I didn't expect Kylie to be so famous in this realm. A year has passed since I last saw her. I wonder if
she has become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level., ' Ricky wondered.
In addition to the three best-known young casting masters, there were also top casting geniuses in
other spiritual-emperor forces, including Jake from the Star Sect, Howell from the Luxurious Chamber
of Commerce, Zach from the White King Tiger tribe, and Celia, a princess from the Eastern Empire.
Maybe the casting arts of the four casting masters were inferior to those of the three geniuses from the
Casting Center. However, there was no marked difference between the two groups that could be
noticed.
Of course, there were quite many casting geniuses in addition to the seven people.
Ricky only took note of the seven casting masters because they were obstacles that he needed to
overcome so he would win the Heaven Soul Stone.
'The seven people are at least casting masters at the inferior stage of Spirit Level. In contrast, I spent
little time practicing weapon casting in the past year. As a result, my casting level is sure to fall behind
theirs. It seems that it might be quite difficult for me to get the Heaven Soul Stone, ' Ricky thought to
himself with a deep sigh.
'Fortunately, there will be more than a month before the contest takes place. Maybe that short period of
time doesn't mean anything for others, but I can change greatly in more than a month.'
Before long, Ricky had arrived at the city where the casting contest would take place and the Casting
Center was based. This city was one of the biggest cities in the Eastern Land.
As Ricky walked, he observed the bustling streets were many creatures flitted about busily along the
winding and numerous roads. His eyes checked out the plentiful casting products displayed all over the
city.
Efficiently, Ricky bought the casting materials he needed as soon as he arrived at the city. Then he
chose a guesthouse where he planned to carry out casting cultivation with all his efforts. He needed to
at least become a casting master at the inferior stage of Spirit Level.
The guesthouse was a mimicry of the city. Every room was equipped with a casting site.
The rooms were divided into three grades—the under grade, the middle grade, and the upper grade.
An under grade room cost one hundred gold coins per day; a middle grade room cost five hundred gold
coins per day; an upper grade room cost one thousand gold coins per day, and maids were provided.
Everybody knew what the so-called maids actually did.
For the time being, Ricky had more than enough gold coins. For the past year, he had accumulated
thirty million gold coins from various kinds of relics he had found and creatures he had killed.
So, he gave the owner of the hotel fifty thousand gold coins and booked an upper grade room. He
would spend the next one and a half months practicing weapon casting. Of course, he made sure to
inform them that he would not be needing maids.
He also said that he wanted to be left alone and didn't want to be disturbed by anybody.
After he finished making all the necessary preparations, he entered the state of casting. In the following
one and a half months, he concentrated on casting all the time. He worked out as many as five inferior-
stage spiritual weapons every day.
With the help of the Chaos Manual and the four zones, his casting arts improved rapidly during this
period of time.
But above all these achievements, Ricky had obtained something far greater. Casting brought him a
precious gift that he did not realize he would receive.
It had greatly improved not only his mental state, but his physical strength was boosted greatly as well.
"The Chaos Manual is great! While I cultivate casting, I can also cultivate my martial arts
unconsciously. It seems that I made the right decision by coming here," Ricky mumbled to himself
happily.
Once again, he realized that cultivating casting would not impact his martial arts. On the contrary,
cultivating casting helped with his martial arts.
That was how amazing the Supreme Skills in the Chaos Manual were.
'In future, I must cultivate martial arts and casting at the same time. Only in this way can I further
discover the Supreme Skills inside the Chaos Manual, ' Ricky thought to himself.
He only went out of the guesthouse when the primary election of the contest of the Casting Center
started.
He knew this because he had requested a staff member from the guesthouse to inform him of any
important news about the casting contest.
The primary election took place at the Casting Path.
The primary election applied to casting geniuses from forces under the level of a spiritual-emperor
force. Disciples from spiritual-emperor forces didn't need to take part in the primary election. Instead,
they could directly attend the formal contest.
It sounded unfair at first glance but that was a benefit awarded only to the strong. This was how the
world of martial arts worked, where the law of the jungle prevailed.
If somebody wanted to complain about that, he had better cultivate his energy first. Only when he had
considerable strength would the people listen to him, and only then could he make his own rules.
The Casting Path was located at the west side of the Casting Center. There was a black stone path
with a length of about one thousand meters. This was called the Casting Path.
The Casting Path was divided into ten sections. Each section was one hundred meters long.
The warriors in the primary election would pass once they surpassed the first five sections of this path.
