Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 541

"Damn!" All the disciples around took a deep breath in awe while giving Ricky an incredulous look.

"Five million gold coins? That's no small amount of money!" Whispered conversations of interest could be heard from among the disciples.

"Five million gold coins is about the full amount of monetary resources that a spiritual-king force has. I wonder if Ricky actually has the money, or if he was just bluffing."

"It doesn't really matter. The fact that he dared to wage five million gold coins clearly indicates that he has the guts to deal with the consequences. Maybe that's the difference between an ace genius and all the ordinary people!"

At that moment, both Soar and Tina were staring at Hardy and Victor with a cold smile on their faces. They knew Ricky's personality better than anyone. No one would be able to take advantage of him. They knew that if Ricky decided to bet against anyone, he would not stop until his opponent was broke.

Both Hardy and Victor looked sullen, as the situation was looking bleak for them.

First of all, they did not have five million gold coins on them. Secondly, even if they had had such money on them, they did not have the courage to put it all up in a wager against Ricky. Last but not least, they were genuinely worried that Ricky might actually know a lot about weapon casting.

"What now? I thought you were the one who started all this. Are you trying to play dead now?" Soar asked with contempt in his voice, stepping up to confront them.

Click-clack! Click-clack!

Hardy and Victor tightened their fists so hard that their fingernails cut into their palms. Their eyes flashed with murderous intent at Soar's taunts. If they could kill with nothing but the power of their will, Ricky would have already dropped dead.

...

"I would never have thought that Hardy could be put in such an awkward position. After all, it was him and his people who started all this." The disciples around discussed their opinions telepathically with each other.

"You don't say. In the entire Oriental College, Ricky might be the only genius who could make Hardy, a genius from an influential family, look like such a fool."

"If you're chickening out, then stop wasting our time. Be a good boy and just step aside," Ricky said softly with a devilish smile on his face.

"It is only five million gold coins. Call them on that! People will begin to think that the Jiang Clan can't even come up with such small amount of money otherwise. Don't sit there and bring shame to our clan!" a man called out in a flat tone and commanded everyone's attention.

Everyone turned in the direction of the voice and saw a white-clad young man stepping up with a little bit swagger. He shot a quick glance at Ricky before turning and letting his eyes linger longer on Tina instead. He was apparently drawn by her elegance and beauty.

"That's Jaxon! I can't believe that he is really here!" Every disciple on the scene was astonished by his presence.

Jaxon Jiang was a genius in both pill refining and weapon casting. He was under the age of thirty, but he was already a casting master at the inferior stage of Spirit Level, as well as a pill refiner of King Level. To some degree, he was just as gifted as Ricky.

'Jaxon? I believe I have heard that name somewhere before. Isn't he the one who is both a pill refiner of King Level, and a casting master of Spirit Level?' Ricky thought to himself as he saw Jaxon Jiang. 'We literally just arrived at this place, then someone so strong has already showed up. It looks like they were somehow expecting my arrival.'

Ricky was right. Even inside of the Oriental College, his actions were under constant surveillance by the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce, along with the disciples of the three demi-spiritual emperors.

The reason they had kept tabs on Ricky while he was in the Oriental College, was that they wanted to know when Ricky would be coming out of there to gain more experience. They knew that would be their window of opportunity.

...

Under any other circumstances, Ricky would have been really impressed with Jaxon Jiang. After all, almost no one could make it to a pill refiner of King Level as well as a casting master of Spirit Level at the same time, and do it all while under the age of thirty.

"Jaxon!"

"Jaxon!" Both Hardy and Victor grew excited as Jaxon Jiang appeared. They hoped he had come to back them up.

They could not come up with five million gold coins. However, Jaxon Jiang could definitely come up with such an amount.
