The news that Elder Alexander accepted Ricky as his disciple spread across the whole Casting Guild, as well as the Casting City.
This sparked great concern of many other disciples, particularly those who wanted to gain the Pounding Skill from Ricky.
However, this matter met the expectations of countless warriors. Since Ricky managed to perform so brilliantly during the Casting Appraisal, it was quite normal for Elder Alexander to think highly of him and allow him to be his disciple.
It wasn't too long before many warriors refrained from keeping an eye on Ricky and even gave up scrambling for his Pounding Skill. Regardless of whether Ricky's Pounding Skill was brilliant, the warriors wouldn't dare to offend Elder Alexander, as he was a casting master of Spirit Level, as well as an innate spiritual king. It simply wasn't worth it. Besides, other warriors weren't backed by any innate spiritual king whatsoever.
Many disciples speculated the reason why Elder Alexander accepted Ricky as his disciple was that he planned to give Ricky the right to enter the Earth Fire Place.
However, no matter what the reason was, even Andrew and Ivan's men hesitated about taking action against Ricky, especially after he became Elder Alexander's disciple.
...
"What the hell? Damn it! I can't believe that Alexander dared to make Ricky his disciple. He really pisses me off!" Inside a resplendent room, Andrew, who was short and thin, became infuriated and disrupted the interior of the room.
"Alexander must've been intrigued by Ricky's manual. Otherwise, he wouldn't take Ricky on as one of his disciples so easily," Ivan analyzed.
"I bet that Ricky will enter the Earth Fire Place. It may be the perfect opportunity for us to attack him!"
"You're right. I didn't think of that before! Since he's become Alexander's disciple, he is eligible to enter the Earth Fire Place," Andrew remarked in a tone that emphasized his excitement, upon hearing Ivan speak.
As long as Ricky managed to enter the Earth Fire Place, Andrew would have plenty of ways to kill Ricky.
Upon hearing this, Andrew got a bit worried and added, "Although most of the warriors are afraid of Alexander, there still remains countless warriors outside that want Ricky's manual. Who knows what they'll do to retrieve it. In this case, will Ricky be willing to enter the Earth Fire Place?"
"Well, for anyone to win the Magic Spirit Stone, Ricky would have to show his extraordinary Pounding Skill. It seems as though he is a merciless and ambitious warrior that appreciates treasures a lot.
Chances and treasures are abundant inside of the Earth Fire Place, so I believe that this time around, Ricky will surely seize the opportunity that can only be met once every thirty years," Ivan uttered.
"That's correct. If I were him, I would never surpass such a chance!" Andrew responded.
"Andrew, before we conspire or take any action to kill Ricky, there is one more thing we have to do," Ivan stated.
"So, what now? What must we do?"
"We must derive a plan to secretly ally with those who keep watch over Ricky, and persuade them to stop spying on him for the moment. We must give Ricky time to relax his vigilance when he gets into the Earth Fire Place," Ivan replied.
"Well, that's perfectly fine! We can do as you please. Should we fail to kill Ricky this time, we can figure out other ways to deal with him after coming out of the Earth Fire Place," Andrew stated coldly.
...
Since the moment Ricky became Elder Alexander's disciple, a mere few days thereafter, next to no one dared to spy on Ricky outside the Casting Guild anymore.
Elder Alexander's men informed Ricky about this matter.
"Listen, I'm afraid that this matter isn't as simple as you make it out to be. Do you really think that those warriors are willing to retract their greed, just because I managed to become Elder Alexander's disciple? Or have all of them begun to prepare for the Earth Fire Place's matter? Are they too busy to deal with me?"
Currently, Ricky was only focused on his improvement and his purpose for entering the Earth Fire Place. Therefore, he wasn't worried about much else.
