Chapter 754 An Unknown Man Appeared
The only reason Celia managed to reach the third floor was because she had used her runic power of
vibration. Yet she was still not strong enough to beat Ricky. Before she could even break out the runic
power, Ricky had already surpassed her.
He casually waved his hand, making the golden shield over Celia''s body vanish. "Well, you can leave
now. I won''t tell anyone about what happened here as long as you don''t mess with me again."
"Humph!" Celia snorted as she turned on her heels to leave. She couldn''t bear the thought to waste
another second around him.
If only she had known how strong Ricky was—so strong that he could beat her—she wouldn''t have
offered to fight against him when Howell and Zach discussed on how to deal with him. Celia was a
proud woman with a reputation to uphold. She wouldn''t dare to cause trouble for Ricky again. She
feared he would get back at her the only way he knew of and she wasn''t looking any forward to facing
the damage of others finding out she leaked the Vibration Ruin Manual to him. Even as the princess of
the Eastern Empire, the senior leaders wouldn''t spare her so easily.
"Celia''s so naive. I bet she only tried to face me because Howell incited her," Ricky sighed as he shook
his head and watched the receding figure of Celia.
"You still threatened her even though you knew very well she''s innocent," Tina gently stated.
Ricky let out a chuckle. "Sure I did. Or I wouldn''t have obtained the Vibration Ruin Manual," he

responded with a smug grin on his face.
Regaining his seriousness back, Ricky began to focus when a ck light started to form. It was time to
pass through the third floor of the Soul Tower.
An hourter, he sessfully reached the fourth floor.
The soul attack on the fourth floor was ten times more powerful than the former. The set of pounding
skills was also way more challenging than the one Ricky had faced on the third floor. Fortunately, the
time limit now was longer—fourteen hours.
In the end, despite the hard work, Ricky spent eight hours to get through that floor. A little over half of
the time he still had left.
''If it weren''t for the power of my four zones, I''m afraid it would be harder for me to make it through the
fourth floor. I believe it''s almost impossible for Kylie to pass it though. But Meade? If he has really
made a breakthrough and be a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, he would
have a high chance to pass the fourth floor judging from his talent, '' Ricky thought to himself.
''Anyway, Meade remains to be a powerful opponent in thispetition. Whether I can get the Heaven
Soul Stone all depends if I can defeat him.''
As soon as he got to the fifth floor, Ricky sensed right away something was off. It didn''t take him much
to realize the power generated from the soul was suppressing him. That meant the spiritual power at
the fifth floor was even stronger than the one he had faced on the fourth.
If he was going to be honest, he didn''t feel the spiritual power on the current floor to be just ten times
stronger than the previous. This was definitely more.
Instantly, Ricky frowned.
"Tina, I think the fifth floor was designed by a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level,"
Ricky informed Tina by making use of his internal power.
"And how does it make any difference for you? You know what? Your level ofprehension of the
runic power is no lower than the one of a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level. All
you need is an opportunity to break through," Tina said honestly.
"I might fail to break through when that opportunityes, though," Ricky added next. "But anyway, I''ll
give it a try. Nothing is going to stop me."
Before the sound of his words could fade away, he had his eyes stuck on the soul attack that was
starting to form into thin air.
"The soul attack is a condensed one!" Ricky said gravely as he observed the energy consolidating in
the air. "This attack is way more destructive than the one on the fourth floor."
Once the soul attack waspletely condensed, it wouldn''t take long to start to get brutal.
Boom! Boom! A loud and terrifying rumbling tore through the skies. Moreover, the mighty soul energy in
the air surged and instantly transformed into a dark vault. As the sky split itself in two, an unknown
ferocious beast roared out from it.
The attack was a threat even for Ricky. He was well aware that its power was no weaker than his own
real strength.
''It seems this attack''s power measures up to my own, '' Ricky thought to himself.
Meanwhile, another invisible attack hit Ricky as he applied his spiritual power.
This was the so-called dual attack.
Unhesitatingly, Ricky hurried to activate the second level of Ultimate Golden Body. The power from the
four zones in the deep side of his Soul Sea got mixed with the runes, and his own spiritual power then
turned into a shield.
Ricky was aware that his spiritual power was greatly inferior to the one afflicting into this space. He
would be unquestionably defeated if he blindly chose to hit back in the air. His only chance stood on
defending himself instead.
Even so, he could barely resist this soul attack leaning on his power of four zones.
Still he wouldn''t merely defend himself when the condensed soul attack dashed towards him. He
needed to win this over once and for all.
All of a sudden, two balls of golden light radiated from Ricky''s chest and turned into two giant palms.
"Massacring Omnipotent Skill—Massacring Golden Palms!"
Ricky roared. Right after, the golden purple gxy energy emerged from his golden body and
prated into his Massacring Golden Palms.
Bang! The sound of metal collision disrupted throughout the skies in a blink as two vicious figures
crashed into each other forcefully in the air. Shortly, Ricky''s body shocked, especially in the head.
However, he wasn''t able to disguise the damage inflicted whilst a fine line of blood shed from the
corner of his mouth.
His soul was hurt. The soul attack from the space was stronger than his power. Nheless, he still
seeded. Ricky looked up at the sky and grinned despite the injuries.
The solid soul attack hit Ricky and forced him to retreat only for a few steps.
''Great! I thrived and passed the test on the fifth floor! The casting manual and the soul-restoring pill will
be mine!'' Ricky thought rather contently as he sat down and got himself a break to adjust and recollect
his strength.
"As expected, he is the first one to pass all the tests," Harrison murmured to himself outside the Soul
Tower. "And more, he obtained the cultivation method of the Eastern Empire. He''s really a lucky guy.
The cultivation method of the Eastern Empire contains the vibration rune. Even I am jealous!
Wait! What?" Harrison lifted both of his eyebrows astonished when two other warriors made their ways
to the fifth floor. The first one was Meade, who wasrgely expected to get there. But what really
caught Harrison''s attention was the second warrior. He wasn''t somebody he had everid his eyes on
before.
The young man wore all ck and an emotionless expression on his face as he carried himself through
the fifth floor. Despite his handsome and intriguing look, he had a quite strange aura surrounding him.
"I''ve never seen this guy before and he has also made it to the fifth floor. Where on earth did hee
from?" Harrison shook his head in confusion.
In the meantime, he was also excited to see another candidate. The more geniuses to show up, the
better, and the happier he would be.
''It''s pleasant to have another warrior reaching the fifth floor. But whether you will be worth my attention
or not remains unknown. Show me what you''re capable of and fight on the fifth floor!'' Harrison said
inwardly.
Curious, he fixed his eyes on the young man in ck. He was looking forward to seeing if the new guy
would be able to sessfully resist the soul attack on the fifth floor.
Throughout most of the trial, the mysterious man struggled hard with the soul attack. When Harrison
was about to give up on him, he bounced back and finally made it victoriously.
"It''s just unbelievable that this young man is a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level
just as Meade," Harrison eximed. He was a little surprised and over the moon by the realization of
the man''s strength.
"I''ve never anticipated that the Casting Center would have two casting geniuses through this current
Four hourster, thepetition in the Soul Tower was officially over.
