CHAPTER 755 LYNCH QIN
All the disciples in the Soul Tower gathered the moment Harrison waved his hand to end the
competition. The majority of them were beaten down as they failed to reach the fourth floor.
"The competition is over!" Harrison announced to the warriors standing around him. "Thirteen of you
got into the fourth floor of the Soul Tower. As the competition ends, you'll be able to get a casting
manual of the Casting Center."
Despite the overall dreadful atmosphere, the thirteen fit disciples were rejoiced by Harrison's words.
Among them were Kylie, Finley, Celia and Howell. Celia and Howell got their eyes viciously fixed on
Ricky. They had never expected him to come out victorious against three middle spiritual kings and
Celia.
Ricky shrugged and sneered in response. He'd never taken those people seriously or regarded them
as worthwhile enemies. Even Meade was also just a minor obstacle for him to contend for the Heaven
Soul Stone.
"As for the warriors who had reached the third floor, our Casting Center decided that you can become
disciples of the guild, but not formal ones. Think about this as a chance. The choice is yours," Harrison
announced again.
The announce got all the warriors down below gaping and amazed for a while. Not in a million years
could they have thought to be granted such a chance. Even though they couldn't become formal
disciples, it was still fortunate to join the Casting Center.
It was expendable getting free access to the advanced manuals, but being a member of the Casting
Center could take the advantages of those manuals still available. The Casting Center's reputation
went so far, even just some "unimportant" manuals were considered superior to those from the
warriors' own clans and organizations.
After the first wave of shock, the news started to kick in. The warriors that got into the third floor grew
even more excited by the second.
However, the setting wasn't all cheerful. Those who didn't reach beyond the second floor were left full
of sorrow and regret, wondering why they hadn't put more effort to get into the third floor. Their
thoughts walked bitterly through all the wasted opportunities they could've taken to reach the goal.
"As for the fifth floor, everyone, there are three people who made it." A curved and subtle smile popped
at the corner of Harrison's mouth as he foresaw the clamors and reactions of the crowd.
The people didn't disappoint him. As expected, everyone started to chatter and gossip after hearing
Harrison's declaration.
"What? Three people made it? Except for Meade and Ricky, who's the other warrior?"
"Who? Kylie? Finley?"
"Maybe it's Howell?" "Could it really be any of them?"
Even Ricky was mildly surprised with a third victor among them. Apart from him and Meade, it didn't
occur to him anyone who was fit to get onto the fifth floor.
'Have any of them already become a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level?' Ricky
thought to himself before he turned to Kylie and the others. The look on their faces, though, told him
they weren't the ones.
As everyone kept busy trying to figure out who was the third warrior, no one noticed how unaffected
Meade remained.
Harrison decided to put an end on the guesses and focused his gaze on the mysterious man in black.
Then, he asked, "Young man, may I know your name?"
Immediately, all the eyes fell upon the man. And impressed, everybody started to ponder about the
man's identity. 'Who is he? Has he got onto the fifth floor? How come we've never seen him before?'
"Master Harrison, I'm Lynch Qin. During my training outside, I became friends with Meade. And when I
heard that there would be a casting competition here, I decided to take part in it," the young man in
black calmly explained.
"Oh? Meade's friend?" Harrison murmured surprised. It wasn't only Harrison who glanced at Meade
eagerly awaiting further clarification. Ricky couldn't avoid his own curiosity as well.
"Yes, Master Harrison. I befriended Lynch." Meade nodded slightly.
The excitement once present in Harrison's heart dropped increasingly. If Lynch Qin was indeed a friend
of Meade, he was also associated with Sellers and this wasn't a good sign for him or Asher.
"Meade's friend? That's impossible. I heard Meade doesn't make friends," a warrior in the crowd
commented.
"That depends on what kind of friends they are. Upon meeting a genius like Lynch Qin, who doesn't
want to be acquainted to him?" another warrior retorted.
'It seems I have one more rival to deal with now. Those two are casting masters at the intermediate
stage of Spirit Level, ' Ricky thought.
At that point he was extremely serious as he considered his odds. He was well aware it wouldn't be
easy to defeat two casting masters at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level when he was yet to become
one himself.
"Okay, Lynch, keep it up!" Harrison said at last.
"You three will get a manual respectively. After the competition, you can choose which one you want.
Moreover, each of you will also get a soul-restoring pill of King Level. You shall make good use of
them."
Harrison once again waved his hand and three black pills found their way each to Ricky's, Meade's and
Lynch's palms. They quickly grasped them within their fists. It wasn't wise to leave the pills on sight
since they could foment a great deal of greed on the other warriors around.
Even after being the most careful they could be, the three men noticed all the envious eyes coming
from the crowd towards them.
"Well, the casting competition will be held in three days. I believe you must have heard about the
reward for it. Whether you can get the reward or not totally depends on your own ability," said Harrison.
He glanced over the three warriors one more time before turning his back to leave.
Although before he did, Harrison used his internal power to secretly speak to Ricky. "You've certainly
known about the current reward. And you also know that Sellers doesn't get along well with Cameron
and me, so out of anyone who can win the Heaven Soul Stone, I really hope that person will be you.
Kylie and Finley are way inferior to Meade."
"Master Harrison, in fact, what I'm actually coming for is the Heaven Soul Stone. Moreover, I have a
good relationship with Master Cameron too. Naturally I won't let Meade and Lynch get it either," Ricky
firmly answered. He had already figured out what Harrison was concerned about through his words. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Well, I appreciate your understanding," Harrison told him.
As soon as they were done, Ricky was about to leave as well. Time now was too precious as he was
racing against it. He had three days ahead of him to enhance his abilities and get ready for what was
next.
"Remember, you don't stand a chance on getting the Heaven Soul Stone this time, even if you are an
ace genius," Meade said to Ricky before he could take off.
"You know, this is my territory. The dragon itself has to crawl here."
"Really? Well, let's see who will win casting competition, shall we? I am not going to give up on the
Heaven Soul Stone, not to mention I will allow it to end up in your hands," Ricky responded coldly.
He hadn't bored to wait for a comeback. He left the second he was done talking. Nothing good would
come out of discussing with Meade.
Inside the room, Ricky grabbed the soul-restoring pill and took it out. All of the sudden, a strong
spiritual power spread out the room. It felt absolutely no less than the same spiritual power he
previously witnessed on the fifth floor of the Soul Tower.
"This is indeed a soul-restoring pill. The spiritual power is so strong, Pearl. I suddenly start to feel a
little sorry now," Ricky said.
"The pill is in your hand. Regret it or not, it's up to you," Pearl replied coolly.
