Bang! As soon as Sherman was done speaking, he immediately launched an attack. In an instant, the spiritual power of a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level burst out. He transformed into a ferocious beast that carried the devouring power and dashed towards the depths of Ricky's Soul Sea.
'His spiritual power is quite strong given that he is a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level, ' Ricky thought to himself after sensing Sherman's immense spiritual power. 'But unfortunately, I'm also a casting master at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level too.
What surprises me is that there is another layer of devouring power embedded in his strength. However, no matter how powerful his devouring power is, it still wouldn't hurt me.'
After that, Ricky also gathered his soul and turned it into a blade to try and confront the spiritual power formed by Sherman.
He had not successfully mastered the Soul-binding Technique just yet, which meant he would only be able to transform his soul into a simple and relatively weaker attack.
Boom! The next moment, a loud yet invisible rumble echoed through the skies. Two soul attacks collided with each other as the two beams appeared out of nowhere. It was obviously caused by their powerful collision. None of them could defeat the other and the round ended with a draw.
Ricky had spent about one and half months in the Soul Tower practicing and improving his strength, and it made him believe that he had made great progress.
"The fight just ended in a draw! This is something I did not expect at all. Although Ricky defeated Meade and Lynch, it might be reasonable because both of them have just broken through to be casting masters at the intermediate stage of Spirit Level. Sherman is much stronger than Meade and Lynch, yet he is unable to defeat Ricky!" The disciples around were all surprised as they communicated amongst one another using their internal power when they saw what just happened.
"That actually makes a lot of sense. Think about it; Ricky just defeated Meade and Lynch not long ago when he was still a casting master at the inferior stage of Spirit Level. But now, he has already broken through successfully and reached a higher level!" another one said.
"How exactly could it be possible? How were you able to block my soul attack?" asked Sherman in a cold voice. He became more afraid of Ricky after seeing what Ricky could do.
Cameron and Harrison would learn about everything if he stayed there and continued to fight Ricky for a longer time.
He came here today to fight Ricky because Sellers ordered him to do so. The purpose was to humiliate Ricky until he announced that he would no longer take the position as the sixth chief of the Casting Center.
As a matter of fact, Sherman did not want to do it at all. However, Sellers threatened him and promised him some sort of reward. He also thought that it would be a piece of cake to deal with Ricky, so he agreed without thinking too much. He had believed that Cameron and Harrison would only punish him slightly because Sellers would be there to protect him.
But now, everything was different from what he had initially expected.
"Damn it. He has made progress again!" Lynch said with resentment and envy in his heart as he saw what was happening.
Immediately, he said to Sherman through their telepathic link, "Sherman, you must know that there is no turning back from this anymore. If you fail to defeat him with your spiritual power, you must turn to your prowess in combat instead. I have confidence in you and I know that you can defeat him in the blink of an eye without taking too much damage."
"Damn you, Lynch. You tricked me into doing this!" Sherman replied coldly.
"Sherman, let me tell you this. Master Sellers and I will put the blame on you if you lose to Ricky. You have no other choice but to defeat him and make him announce that he would not be the sixth chief of the Casting Center," Lynch said in the same cold tone.
"Anything is possible! I'm the sixth chief of the Casting Center. If I fail to defeat you, I should be very ashamed of myself," Ricky said in a disdainful tone after hearing Sherman's words.
Bang! As soon as Ricky was done with his words, Sherman broke out his power that belonged to a second-class middle spiritual king as soon as he could. The power was mixed with the devouring power which was then condensed to form a giant dark mouth. After that, it crushed the space and immediately rushed towards Ricky's throat.
'He is getting furious now. It seems that Lynch must have said something to irritate him. But it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of anything or anyone. I may not be that strong, but I am far from weak as well, ' Ricky thought to himself as he saw the quick attack from Sherman.
Buzz! Ricky manipulated his massacring runes as he gathered them to his Massacring Fist. He was planning to counter Sherman's attack with his galaxy power.
Crack! A loud crackling sound then echoed through the skies. Sherman was knocked back into the air before hitting the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This scene stunned the crowd once again.
Lynch was shocked. He narrowed his eyes and said in his heart, 'How could that be possible? Since when did he become so powerful?
No, no, no. This is very bad for us. We must get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise...'
