Chapter 108 Arrival Of Autn
"Elder Samuel, I''m very sorry... you know that my interests lie more with martial arts!" said Ricky after
Elder Samuel''s impassioned speech. He was at a loss for what to do.
"Right! Well! Sorry for my forwardness. Besides, between you and I, it would be such a waste for a
genius like you to be my apprentice," said Elder Samuel, waving his hand to conceal the
embarrassment he felt.
"Ricky, what''s wrong with you? How can you refuse my Master?" Bertha approached Ricky and
whispered, "You are embarrassing Master in front of us!"
Ricky suddenly became upset at this, not knowing what to say. He had been careless of the social
dynamics.
"Ricky, do you mind if youe with me to discuss the art of casting in private?" Elder Samuel said, as
if the offer of apprenticeship had never happened. His manner of speaking was as though he was
inviting a master who was his equal.
His actions were clearly shocking to Bertha and Olivia, and made them feel that Ricky''s Pounding Skill
probably meant a lot more than what they could imagine. What could it be, exactly!?
Gradually, Edgar came to understand what the implications of Ricky''s casting were. He thought in
disbelief, ''It''s amazingly hard to believe that not only is Ricky a genius of martial arts, but also a rare
genius of casting.

Even though Ricky has an iplete spiritual meridian, I know in my heart that he will likely y an
outstanding role in the Snow Land, hell, even beyond it!''
"How can I refuse Elder Samuel?" said Ricky with a slight smile, getting up to follow Elder Samuel.
....
Later, the several of them returned together to Elder Samuel''s house and began to talk about casting
skills.
Although Ricky didn''t have any experience, he just divulged some of the things he hadprehended
from the Devouring Skill, and this in itself was sufficient to keep Elder Samuel, Bertha and Olivia lost in
thought for half a day.
On the other hand, Ricky learned a lot of valuable experiences, too.
Ricky, knowing that generosity would be rewarded, passed on to them a piece of the Pounding Skill
from the Devouring Skill.
The three casting afficionados were visibly overwhelmed by the excitement.
"Ricky, what would you say to the idea of me joining your faction?" His faction didn''t even have a name
yet! And this kind Elder was more than ready to join it!
"Thank you, Elder Samuel!" Ricky stammered, bowing deeply. How could he refuse? It was an offer too
good to be true!
Just when he had been worrying about theck of demi-immortals in his faction, Elder Samuel
presented himself! Things wereing together! After all, Elder Samuel, being both a demi-immortal
and a Demi-spirit Level casting master, was equal to three ordinary demi-immortals all together!
"In this case, then I will join your faction, too!" Olivia said, gaining confidence in Elder Samuel''s
movement.
The demi-immortal Elder Samuel, the core disciples Olivia and Grace—what I need to do more than
ever is convince Autn!'' thought Ricky. His faction was in its preliminary form, awaiting birth.
"Ricky, you know that I am already part of the Amber Faction, so I can''t join you. But, you have my
word. I will support you and I think that the rest of the Amber Faction will too," Bertha offered.
....
Ricky and Edgar left shortly, their spirits high.
"Ricky, I really do think that you should take Elder Samuel as your master. Although I don''t know much
about casting skills, what I do know is that on any road, one who has a mentor takes a more
straightforward path!" said Edgar, walking next to his friend.
Ha-ha, casting is more of a hobby to me. Martial arts are my true passion," Ricky exined casually. It
was obvious that he did not care for casting much.
But aside from this, Ricky just didn''t want to take anyone as his teacher just yet. For others, having a
teacher would be an advantage, but for him, it would only hinder him to a great extent. That was why
Grace and he werepatible. She let him explore on his own.
"It''s your call!" said Edgar, nodding.
"Oh, what a good day today was for us! Not only did we get Olivia to join, but also Elder Samuel! And
Bertha thinks we stand a chance of getting support from the Amber Faction, which is very good news
for our faction."
"Yes, what we need is just a few more members now!" said Ricky. "And in the process of recruiting, we
have to remember that strength is not the main aspect that we zero in on, but their nature and
character."
"That''s for sure! Strength only gets us so far!" nodded Edgar.
"What''s our next n for Autn?"
"Edgar, I think we must be subtle. I suppose the best thing to do would be for you to go back to the
Zenith Mountain, and let him know that Olivia is one of our members and that she is also very
interested in my casting skills," said Ricky confidently.
"Ha-ha, I like your thinking!" Edgar chuckled.
....
And so, Edgar went home towards the Zenith Mountain, and Ricky returned to his own small courtyard.
"Ricky, in the six days you''ve been gone, have you persuaded Autn to join us?" Grace immediately
asked at the sight of Ricky.
"Master, a little more patience. I foresee that within six hours, Autn will definitelye here and beg
me to let him join us," said Ricky confidently as he seated himself. There was a twinkle in his eyes.
"Yeah? It is your confidence which makes me curious," Grace said in surprise.
How was it possible that Autn woulde here begging Ricky to ept him into their new faction?
Grace, Ricky, and Heather sat there, waiting. Time would tell.
....
Four hourster, a roar sounded outside the small courtyard.
"Ricky,e out!" A figure appeared in the small courtyard. It was most definitely Autn.
Ricky quickly came out and smiled, "Autn, my brother, what''s the matter? Who is messing with you?
Why are you angry?"
Autn was actually here! Grace and Heather exchanged looks of shock.
"Don''t mess with me! How did you fool Olivia into joining your pathetic faction?" shouted Autn.
"My brother, Autn. What unfair me you put on my shoulders! The only reason she joined me was
of her own will." Ricky said, "You know me and my power so well. I would never force it."
"Is it because Olivia wants to learn casting skills from you?" asked Autn,ing closer and closer.
"Well, you''ve proven a genius once again! You have guessed precisely. As long as you join my pathetic
faction, I promise to help you win her heart.
Otherwise, Olivia will always ask me for advice. We''d be spending a lot of time together that I would
find it hard to guarantee that nothing would happen between us!" Ricky said in a low tone.
"How dare you!?" growled Autn, his usually cool brow now furrowed.
"Well, it totally depends on you, buddy," said Ricky with sly smile.
"Oh, Ricky! You are good, too good! Count me in!" Autn said resentfully. "You''re really making me
regret saving your life in the first ce! It would have been better if I''d just let that man from the West
Vanity Valley kill you!"
"Ha-ha, Autn, this is the fate between us. The universe says so!"
"Get out of my face! There is no fate that binds us!" Autn shouted, whirling around and leaving.
Ricky now looked at Grace and Heather, the looks on their faces priceless.
