"Bam!"
Two disciples at the sixth grade of Blood Purification called forth their spiritual energy and crashed into each other, with one holding Ricky's knife and the other holding Gennadi's sword.
Dozens of crashes later, the winner had been determined
when Gennadi's sword broke in half. It was clear that Ricky was the winner.
"Ricky wins, his weapon wins the challenge!" all disciples exclaimed.
What this told everyone was that Ricky was much more powerful at casting than Gennadi, an inferior Mortal Level casting master!
The square suddenly exploded into noise.
Ricky was a true genius!
No spiritual meridian, but so what? He was able to defeat such a powerful opponent like Gennadi when it came to casting skills!
"The Misty South Faction will be known throughout the whole Snow Land because of Ricky!" some disciples exclaimed.
''I want to join the Misty South Faction!" several female disciples said almost hysterically, utterly taken with Ricky.
...
The Casting Faction and the Refinement Faction felt the resentment and disappointment hit them quite hard. As for Gennadi, his anger boiled over.
He failed. As the top-ranked inner disciple of the Snow Sect, he was gifted in casting. How could he be defeated by a mere outer disciple like Ricky? This guy had an incomplete spiritual meridian and on top of that, had only stayed in the Snow Sect for less than a year!
He dug his fingernails into the palm of his hand, blood seeping out of the punctures.
Gennadi could not reconcile himself with his status as a loser.
He had to disband the Casting Faction once he failed. That was terrible.
On top of that, he hadn't been the true leader who dominated the Casting Faction! He was only its figurehead, in reality. How would he tell the real bosses that he was the reason that the faction was disbanded?
"Gennadi, resign from your position as head of the Casting Faction!" Sean said to him.
This order only deepened Gennadi's hatred towards Ricky, who had unexpectedly turned his life upside down.
"Gennadi, you failed. Now, you must keep your word as a true warrior!" Ricky said coldly as he turned to Gennadi.
Now everyone else was staring at Gennadi. They clearly knew that it was impossible to disband the Casting Faction. Or was it?
"Ricky, you will pay for this one day," Gennadi slowly raised his head and said maliciously, the pure hatred sharp in his eyes.
"Humph! Don't you forget that you asked for this!" Ricky responded coldly.
"Humph! Maybe. But you want to disband the Casting Faction! You know that's not possible!"
"What? You're the top-ranked inner disciple of the Snow Sect! What ever will we think if you break your promise in front of so many disciples?" Ricky sneered. Of course he knew it would be impossible to disband the Casting Faction. However, he continued taunting Gennadi. He just wanted to humiliate the Casting Faction.
"From this day forward, I shall resign from my position and also depart from the faction!" Gennadi said loudly. Everyone murmured in astonishment, in a state of shock.
"Now that I am no longer the head of the Casting Faction, I can't disband it as you ask," Gennadi said, having found a way out.
"Ha! At least you are not the faction leader any longer. That's also a rather satisfying result!" Ricky smiled with satisfaction.
Gennadi clenched his jaw and left, not replying anymore.
It was a great shame that he was defeated and even lost his position. He just wanted to leave this wretched place immediately.
...
"Wyn, still up for the challenge?" Ricky said, looking at Wyn once Gennadi had disappeared into the throng of people.
