"Why are you always so mean to me?" Ricky sighed with resignation. Although he pretended not to mind it, he actually hated how she treated him.
He was unwilling to hand over the soul-restoring pill but he already gave his word to her. His reluctance showed on his face as he gave her the pill. No matter what he felt about it, he would always honor his promises.
Pearl stopped glaring at Ricky when she received the soul-restoring pill. It seemed to her that Ricky truly was an honorable man who would do as he said. Her face brightened immediately.
"Pearl, why do you want the soul-restoring pill so much?" he asked her curiously.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you!" she answered as she shifted with discomfort.
"Pearl, do you truly believe that I know nothing about you when you have already cultivated in my Massacring Zone?" Ricky retorted. He had been curious about her for a long time. He had some speculations about her motivation but a straight answer from her would be great.
"Then go ahead." As soon as she said that, she shut herself up in the Massacring Zone. It was obvious that she was about to refine the soul-restoring pill.
"You have become so confident in yourself. It feels like you don't care about me at all." Ricky sighed once again but decided to let her go. He respected the fact that it was her secret to keep.
"Tina, I have to stay in the Chaotic Fire Zone to practice weapon casting. Call me after three days, okay?" he asked Tina. He tended to get lost in the task so it was better to have Tina's support.
"I hope you can cast a weapon at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level within three days," Tina said softly, a hopeful look reflected in her eyes.
"It's not as simple as you might think. Even though I'm confident about it, it's not that easy to get the Heaven Soul Stone," he answered truthfully.
He nodded at her in farewell and went to the Chaotic Fire Zone. Once there, he poured all his attention and energy into casting.
Three days went by in the blink of an eye. The final competition started.
It was held at the casting square of the Casting Center. Overall, twenty candidates participated in the competition. They were casting masters who had managed to enter the fourth and fifth floors of the Soul Tower.
All of them were casting masters of Spirit Level and represented the highest casting level among the younger generation in the whole Eastern Land.
At this time, twenty casting tables had been placed in advance in the middle of the casting square. They were about to cast weapons with the same casting tripods and materials. This competition was to see who had true mastery over the art of casting weapons.
Soon, Ricky and the others had chosen casting tables of their preference.
Three figures came down through the stairway. Ricky looked up at them and recognized two. One was Harrison, the fifth chief of the Casting Center. The other was Cameron, the fourth chief. However, he failed to recognize the third one.
"The three chiefs are attending the event together!" The warriors whispered to each other in surprise.
It was certainly a rare sight; the three casting masters of Demi-sage Level had shown up together.
'Then the other must be Sellers, the third chief of the Casting Center, ' Ricky thought to himself. His eyebrows quirked up as he observed the older man. Sellers wore a white robe that reached to his feet. His hair was more ashen than gray, slicked back neatly. Ricky felt the strong blood vitality that radiated from him.
Undoubtedly, this man was powerful, even among the other demi-spiritual emperors.
"Ricky, long time no see!" Cameron greeted Ricky through telepathy.
"Long time no see, sir. You still look handsome to this very day!" Ricky replied with a smile.
"How dare you make fun of me!" Cameron teased him. "Alright, we should stop talking any more nonsense for now. Listen, you have to win the Heaven Soul Stone this time."
"Please rest assured, sir. I will do everything in my ability. After all, I came here only for the sole purpose of acquiring the Heaven Soul Stone!"
