Upon his arrival, Elder Alexander said to Ricky, "I've sent them back to the Snow Sect safely and assured them that you'd stay here for a while."
"Thanks for everything. I really appreciate it," Ricky responded.
"Ricky, if you want me to send you back to the Snow Sect, I can. I'm sure that those people won't defy me," Elder Alexander said.
"Elder Alexander, I thoroughly appreciate your kindness. However, you shouldn't be involved in this issue," Ricky said. "Well, apart from them, Endless Shadow is plotting to kill me too!" he added after a short pause. Elder Alexander replied with a concerning look on his face, "What! Endless Shadow!" Upon hearing this, Elder Alexander's expression changed immediately.
"You're in a lot of trouble, Ricky. Endless Shadow is fearless. They don't care for the Casting Guild's power whatsoever, nor that of the spiritual king. Keeping that in mind, it is also said that their leader is an upper spiritual king, which means that he is not someone to be messed with."
"Their leader is so powerful!" Ricky responded with a low tone in his voice.
"Therefore, unless you become as powerful as an innate spiritual king, Endless Shadow may never stop chasing you!" Elder Alexander said seriously.
"Elder Alex, you're aware that the realm of the innate spiritual king is fairly far from me at this point! There's absolutely nothing to be afraid of," Ricky replied with a confident smile.
"Well, if that be the case, I think you must stay here, or at least in the Snow Sect for a while. It is for your own safety!" Elder Alexander immediately shook his head. Although being as a Spiritual Level casting master and innate spiritual king, he didn't have the slightest idea how to solve the dilemma.
"Well, never mind then, Elder Alex. Here, this is a gift for you. I hope it can aid in your casting skills!" At that moment, Ricky proceeded to pass the set of pounding skills and runes he'd already drawn on, to Elder Alexander.
"What on earth is this? Why are you so mysterious?" Looking at Ricky's note curiously, Elder Alexander took it cautiously.
Reading the note, Elder Alexander started to tremble, his hands shaking as he read the paper. He was indeed very familiar with the pictures and words written on it.
For the casting master, such prophetic Pounding Skill was entirely priceless.
That was the reason why there were so many people outside that were eager to kill Ricky. Their goal was to snatch his Magic Spirit Stone and Pounding Skills...
As a response, Elder Alexander, who was a sophisticated and righteous man, folded the paper up and gave it back to Ricky. He then said, "Ricky, please, don't look down upon me as the villain that covets your Pounding Skills. My only purpose here is to offer you help, mainly because I value your talent and characteristics.
Oh, what a pity that you have already reached the disciple of the casting master at the Sage Level. If that wasn't the case, I would have surely taken you as mine.
So, there's no need for you to do this," Elder Alexander said.
"Elder Alex, we haven't been well acquainted with one another for a very long time, hence I don't know much about you before," Ricky stood up and said seriously.
"Actually, I barely know anything about you. My apologies, Elder Alex. Please don't mind my obliviousness and caution."
"I can see your point clearly and believe that time will surely prove everything. Now, you'd better take this back, otherwise, you will surely be punished severely by your master!" Elder Alexander said calmly. As for Ricky's words, he didn't mind them at all.
"Elder Alex, this is a gift for you. How on earth can I take it back?" Ricky smiled.
"Elder Alex, perhaps I don't know you so well after all. Nevertheless, it is only fair for you to accept the set of Pounding Skills, particularly because you have helped me so much already. I am convinced that you are indeed a trustworthy and respectable man, and that is why I have proceeded to show you the set of Pounding Skills!
The last thing you have to worry about, is my master's attitude! So, Elder Alex, please accept it!
If you still refuse it, it will mean that you have failed to treat me as one of your own people!"
