Chapter 757 Alliance
"Oh, I didn''t expect you to be afraid," Cameron taunted Ricky after he heard his question.
"Sir, I''m not afraid. But you know that I have already offended many spiritual-emperor forces. It would
be unwise for me to be hated by one more spiritual emperor who is also a casting master of Demi-sage

Level," Ricky uttered with a small shrug.
"Don''t worry. Gorden has a good rtionship with Sellers, but this doesn''t mean he is allied with
Sellers. He knows that you have passed his Casting Path. I think the reason he wants to hand over the
Heaven Soul Stone to the first ce in person is that he wants to see you," Cameron informed Ricky
with a smile.
"In that case, I am relieved. I really can''t afford to offend such a powerful man," Ricky said with a sigh
of relief.
He knew when he should push back and when he should go with the flow. Even though he was backed
by the Oriental College, they would still feel the pressure dealing with the Casting Center.
Moreover, Ricky knew that he had to be strong and he had to improve his own strength to be a truly
fearless person.
"There is no time limit on thepetition, but you only have one chance, so use it wisely. That''s all I
needed to say. You guys can start your casting now!" Sellers announced in an authoritative voice.
With this said, the three chiefs of the Casting Center sat back in midair with their legs crossed. They
looked expectantly at the twenty people who started casting at the signal.
They started as one, all eager to win.
"Ricky, do you think you could do this?" Tina asked at this moment.
"Tina, this is my moment. After this, there will only be two oues: victory or failure! I can do this,"
Ricky said seriously.
It was true that Ricky had not yet be a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, but
he was very close to that. In the past three days, he had made more than a dozen castings in the
Chaotic Fire Zone. He might not have seeded but he learned a lot.
"Okay, I believe you! But please be careful. I can see evil intentions in Howell''s and others'' eyes. They
may make trouble for you during the casting process," Tina warned him with concern in her eyes.
"Attacking is not allowed in thispetition!" Ricky protested in surprise.
"Ricky, you need to be careful. During thepetition, they may work together tounch spiritual
attacks on you because spiritual attacks are allowed," Kylie said to Ricky telepathically.
"Seriously?" Ricky asked uncertainly. He was not aware of that. Thankfully, Kylie was able to inform
him ahead of time.
If that were the case, he could already imagine what he would faceter during the casting process.
"This is what real casting is like. When youpete on casting, you alsopete on spiritual attacks.
Finley and I can repel only one attack each for your sake. I''m afraid our spiritual energybined
cannot bear more than two attacks," Kylie said.
"Kylie, I really appreciate that you and Finley are willing to help me in this way, but your goodwill is
enough for me. You can concentrate on your casting. If theyunch an attack against my soul, I will
take an eye for an eye," Ricky told Kylie. Gratitude colored his tone of voice and his eyes sparkled
brightly.
"After all, I''m not a punching bag. I will hit them back."
After he said that, Ricky turned to look at Howell and others with his sharp eyes, which put great
pressure on them and even made them feel a little scared.
"Humph! Ricky, you haven''t even made a breakthrough and be a casting master at the
intermediate stage of Spirit Level yet. Even if you have be a casting master at the intermediate
stage of Spirit Level, it would still be impossible for you to get the first prize," Howellmunicated
telepathically to Ricky after he recovered from the spike of fear he felt when their eyes met.
"Only Meade is qualified to take the Heaven Soul Stone. And only he is qualified to cultivate forever in
the Soul Tower."
"Really? Maybe you''re right. You know, sometimes it''s not easy to be ackey," Ricky responded with
an eyebrow raised.
"What did you say?" Howell narrowed his eyes at Ricky.
"Haha, you know what I mean," Ricky responded with a smile before he ignored Howell, as if he had
gotten bored of him easily.
"Kylie, Finley, please don''t step in this time. I have my own way of dealing with them. My counterattack
against them might hurt you if you get involved," Ricky warned Kylie and Finley telepathically.
"It seems that you''re very confident, Ricky. I know you''re an ace genius with peerless power. But if you
really need my help, please don''t hesitate to tell me. After all, neither Kylie nor I have any chance to get
the Heaven Soul Stone now. Cultivating in the Soul Tower for a few months doesn''t sound appealing to
us at all. We would rather fight against them together with you."
Finley wanted to make sure that Ricky knew he always had support in them.
"Haha, thank you, Finley. I won''t hesitate to ask for your help if necessary," Ricky said in a warm voice,
obviously touched.
Then, Ricky turned his attention and concentrated on the melting stage. He couldn''t fail, so he was very
meticulous in the melting process. He even activated the Heaven Illuminating Fire.
He knew he had only one chance.
In the melting process, Howell and others wouldn''t attack him. They could only attack him in the
beating process.
After the melting process, Ricky entered the beating stage and started beating. At least, that was what
he wanted the people to think. Particrly, Howell and his gang of bullies.
"Ricky, be careful! They are going to attack!" To Ricky''s surprise, he heard Celia in his mind.
"Celia, now that I have promised you that I wouldn''t tell anyone, you can be sure that I won''t. You don''t
have to do anything against your will because of what happened in the Soul Tower," Ricky replied.
"You''re right, Ricky. I''m simply worried about that. Please be warned that I will pretend to join in their
attack. I hope you won''t misunderstand me," Celia mentally whispered to him. Obviously, she was
concerned but could not outwardly show it.
''Huh! How innocent she is!'' Ricky thought to himself, amused with her way of affection.
Boom!
As soon as Ricky finished his thought, he sensed ten spiritual attacks which werebined with the
runic power at the same time. There was no doubt that these ten attacks were from Howell and his
fellows.
Among the ten attacks, Ricky felt three strong spiritual attacks. He guessed that they were from Howell,
Zach, and Celia. And as Celia said, she did not truly attack Ricky.
''It''s really generous of you to attack me together with the power of nine casting masters at the inferior
stage of Spirit Level at the same time. But it''s too naive of you to believe that you can defeat me with
this, '' Ricky sneered inwardly. The lot of them were cowards, bound together by the knowledge that
they could not defeat him by themselves.
Ricky gathered the power of the four zones and his runic power, and turned them into a shield to
defend his Soul Sea.
He busied himself in defense but refused to attack.
"Ricky, you must be careful. If your soul got hurt before thepetitiones to an end, you would
never be able to cast a weapon at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level in the following casting
process," Tina reminded him.
"Tina, even if I didn''t want to fight back, there''s nothing else I can do now. They are the ones who
attacked me first. I''ll just let them do what they want for a while," Ricky said.
With a secret smile, Ricky reduced the resistance of his runic power. He pretended to have difficulty as
he resisted their attacks. A cold sweat came out on his forehead.
"It seems that his spiritual power is not as strong as we thought, Howell," Zach noted to Howell
telepathically. He was grinning widely. He fully believed that they were winning.
