Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 402

"What did you say?"  Seth roared in a voice trembling with uncontainable rage. Murderous intent filled his eyes the moment he heard the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor's words. Had Seth been more powerful than him, he would have torn his remaining soul into pieces already. The disparity in their strength was the only reason Seth was able to contain himself at the moment.

This was way beyond Seth's expectations. Without a doubt, the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor's decision had shattered his dream once and for all. Even worse, it could mean an untimely end for him.

If Ricky obtained the inheritance from the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor, he would definitely become much more powerful. Even more importantly, he would become the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor's disciple. If that happened, there would be no way that Seth could match him. They fought, and Seth would die. There was no the other way around.

The Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor said nothing in return to Seth's emotional outburst. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he brought out the liquid of innate copper essence Ricky had made and presented it to him. Seth's face changed color when he saw the liquid. As a Demi-spirit Level casting master, he certainly could tell whose work was better and whose liquid turned out to be purer.

"No. It isn't true! This is not possible!" Seth shouted, losing all control of his temper. "You are merely a Mortal Level casting master, one at the advanced stage at the most! You must be cheating!" Now that Seth could see the quality of Ricky's work with his own eyes, he began to throw a raging tantrum. As he snarled, envy, hatred and all the other uncontrollable negative emotions erupted from his eyes, nearly consuming him entirely.

But the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor simply ignored him. He turned to Ricky and said, "Now, follow me, and I will impart to you everything I know about martial arts and casting!"

"Thank you so much, sir!" Ricky bowed respectfully.

He had gotten what he wanted. Unlike Seth, who desired the inheritance itself, he only wanted the inheritance to gain more knowledge about the martial arts world. And after that, he would surely help the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor find a suitable inheritor. That had been his plan from the very beginning.

But he refused to admit it now, not before he obtained the inheritance and learned more about the martial arts world. What if the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor felt cheated and changed his mind? All Ricky's efforts might be in vain if the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor knew about the truth too early. He might be doomed because of lying to him.

"This is unfair, sir!" Just when they were about to leave, Seth suddenly said loudly, like a petulant child. He just would not give up.

"Oh? What makes you think so?" the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor turned around and asked in a calm voice.

"Casting involves a lot of procedures, and everyone knows the melting process is only one of them! I don't think it fair to make the conclusion that he's superior to me in casting just because he produced better liquid of innate copper essence. I want to challenge him in the actual weapon forging. The one who can produce better weapons would win!" Seth argued, looking very ferociously at Ricky.

"I have already made it clear that your talent in casting is what I value the most!" The Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor replied flatly at Seth's obstinance.

He believed that he was right about Ricky's talent. Of course, he knew that Ricky was now still inferior to Seth in general, but Ricky had shown greater potential in casting than him. Combining his inherent gift with a little more effort, he was sure to leave Seth in the dust. Besides, the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor didn't quite like Seth's character, especially now when he got so fretful and indignant losing the competition.

But as a demi-spiritual emperor, and one of kindness and integrity, the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor was open-minded and generous enough to forgive Seth. He continued regally, "However, there must be a reason that we have met, my inheritance and you might have attracted each other, or else you wouldn't be able to get in here. So..."

The Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor then walked back to Seth and said, "I'm willing to give you a second chance."

"That's so very kind of you, sir!" Seth hastened to thank the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor earnestly hearing his answer. "I won't let you down, I promise!" he added.

At the same time, he shot Ricky a look of pure, unabated hatred.

Ricky was not the least bit frightened or affected by Seth's statements. He was calmly confident about himself when it came to casting. Except for not being able to make weapons of Demi-spirit Level yet, he was exceptionally skilled in this craft after all! At least he didn't think that Seth could beat him in regard to casting skills now, no matter how many cards Seth got up in his sleeve.

The next round of the competition commenced. This time, the Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor had demonstrated a set of Pounding Skills in the air first.

The rule of the competition was that each of them should put the Pounding Skills he had shown into practice after learning it. They each had four hours to prove themselves, during which duration the contestant who had comprehended and performed the skills better would win.

Ricky's victory was certain. With the help of the power of his three zones, he could understand the skills fairly easily. Four hours later, he had successfully deployed ninety percent of the Pounding Skills.

On the contrary, Seth could hardly remember anything about the skills and only sat there, perplexedly scratching his head. The fact that Ricky could re-create nearly all of it stunned and frustrated him. Near the end of the four hours, he could only curse and stamp his feet to let out his anger and show his disbelief.

Now Ricky's ability was beyond all dispute. The Ruin Demi-spiritual Emperor kindly turned a deaf ear to Seth's pathetic excuses. He walked away with Ricky, and created a little private space with fire before taking out two yellow light balls of enlightening.
