Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 401

"Well, I guess that's pretty fair to me. After all, you are indeed a powerful warrior from tens of millions of years ago!" Seth spoke beautifully crafted words to glorify the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor again. As flattering as Seth's words could be, there was still a portion of it that was rather a bit fishy, that he could still not be telling what he really thought of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor.

"Even though I am the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor, I am still very proud of my casting skill. Thus for the next competition, I want to see how well versed you are with your casting skills. It is the skill I want to see and I don't give a pig's ass about your personal fighting power at all," the murky shadow of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor said obnoxiously.

Ricky, upon hearing these words, had his interest piqued while Seth, on the other hand, felt stupefied.

But Seth's distraction was replaced by a good thought--he suddenly came to a realization that he, indeed, could do a lot better than Ricky in this task. After all, Ricky had not yet reached the demi-immortal level and could by no means be close to being a master of the Demi-spirit Level at all.

This also meant that Ricky, even though he was a casting master at the advanced stage of the Mortal Level, was no match for Seth's casting skill.

"Well, in that case, please set a task for us to complete. We are ready," Seth daringly asked the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor. Whenever it came to martial arts skills or casting, Seth was known to reach and take advantage of the chance to be a living legend. He was known to be a warrior of confidence and would not let any chance slip his way.

"All right, then!" The indistinct shadow of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor nodded after he saw both Ricky and Seth had been well-prepared and eager to start the test.

The emperor then waved the sleeve of his robe. And in an instant, two large pieces of ocher copper appeared respectively and fell in front of Ricky and Seth.

"As you can see, there are two pieces of innate copper essence in front of you. Note that both of them are of the exact same size. For this task, you will need to melt the copper essence and get pure water of the copper essence. The warrior who manages to perform the task in shorter time and the copper water with higher quality wins this round," the vague and powerful shadow spoke.

"Once you are ready, you may begin!"

Flames burned fiercely as the two warriors focused on the task ahead of them. Right after the cunning shadow finished his last words of instruction, Ricky and Seth did not hesitate to activate their spiritual energy to their full potential. They both used their spiritual energies to cover each of their copper essences. After covering, they immediately activated their own manual skills to fuse with their energies and start melting the metal.

... And in half an hour after they had started the test, the copper essence started to melt a little.

'Wow. This innate copper essence must be a very special casting material, huh. What's taking this thing so long to melt?' Ricky exclaimed inwardly. 'I bet it will take up so much time to melt this in a conventional way. Hmm. I think the shadow of this Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor wants to reveal the peak of our strength!'

"Boom! Bang!" Seth, who was also having a hard time melting the innate copper essence, seemed to have the same sentiments as Ricky. He then thought of a way on how to make the melting faster. He reached out his hand and took out a Rage Fire Pill from his pocket and swallowed it. Then suddenly, large and powerful flames surged and appeared all over his body.

"Fuck! He has more than one Rage Fire Pill! Oh man, I'm officially screwed!" Ricky exclaimed out of panic as he saw Seth took the pill.

But then again, the presence of the shadow of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor might have saved his life. After all, if it weren't for the shadow's presence, he might have already been killed by Seth's magical and humongous flames.

Ricky had never thought that Seth had another Rage Fire Pill in his pocket all along. If Ricky had known about this, he wouldn't have even dared come into this place after Seth.

"Take a close note that winning by taking pills brings no honor to the victor. But, it is a fact that pills are also part of the strength of the warriors. Thus, I declare that it is not, in any way, illegal to take pills in this competition!" the shadow of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor said directly to Ricky upon hearing his rough words. He thought that Ricky felt cheated that Seth took the pill to improve his flames for this competition.

"No worries; I totally understand!" Ricky replied to him.

"Ricky, you good-for-nothing coward. If you choose to quit now, I may leave you as a complete corpse after I get the heritage, and I will let those people off outside. Otherwise ..." Seth said ferociously to Ricky after he saw the indistinct shadow of the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor had no objection about him taking the pill. He thought with confidence that he was sure to win the competition.

"You know what? Just set your heart at rest. I will surely tear you to shreds after I get the valuable heritage," Ricky said nonchalantly in response to Seth's words.

"Very well, then! Ha-ha! You'd better mark your words!" Seth screamed out a hysterical laugh upon hearing Ricky's response. This did not intimidate him whatsoever, and instead, it helped him focus even more on completing the challenge. He then ignored Ricky and set his mind on the task ahead of him.
