The legendary warrior novel Chapter 1427

Laughing, Ricky took out the jade slip he had prepared in advance. It contained all the information recorded in the Chaos Manual.

"Sir, here is the casting manual I'm practicing—the Chaos Manual!"

he intoned as he held out the jade slip.

"The Chaos Manual, named after the so-called chaos which contains everything. What an intimidating name!"

the Casting Ladder sighed upon hearing the name of the manual. Since it was a supreme weapon, the Casting Ladder could see the innermost working of things with just a superficial glance. So when it heard the name of the Chaos Manual, it immediately understood how Ricky had gotten so incredible in casting. He even surpassed the strongest genius of the Short Human tribe.

After the Casting Ladder took the jade slip, a deluge of information poured into Ricky's Soul Sea.

"This is for you, the casting manual of the Helian Clan—the Ancestor Divine Manual!"

explained the Casting Ladder. "However, this is only a quarter of the complete version. As you know, aside from the Helian Clan, the Short Human tribe is composed of three more clans.

The other three quarters are in the hands of the remaining three clans."

"I understand,"

replied Ricky, nodding.

He already knew that, of course, since the Short Human tribe was quite famous. It was composed of the four strongest clans, and each of them held a quarter of the casting manual of the tribe.

"Ricky, why do I feel like you got shafted in this deal?"

the Evil Mandragora remarked. "You only received a quarter of the Ancestor Divine Manual, while the Casting Ladder acquired the complete Chaos Manual."

"Don't worry. It may only be a quarter of the manual, but it is already a great deal for me,"

Ricky reassured her. "And besides, the Casting Ladder helped me become a casting master at the Sage Level, and I consider that the ultimate harvest.

Oh, and by the way, I have one more ace up my sleeve. You see, my Chaos Manual is connected to my spiritual meridian and zones. And it is only when the spiritual meridian and zones exist together can an individual truly comprehend the Chaos Manual.

That means no matter how talented the members of the Short Human tribe are, they could never surpass my understanding of the Chaos Manual. However, I can surpass them on the Ancestor Divine Manual."

"So that's why you are willing to give the Chaos Manual to the Casting Ladder just like that!"

Only at this point did the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora understand Ricky's actions.

Afterward, Ricky bade farewell to the Casting Ladder, entered the Massacring Zone, and left.

"Can this young man be the casting genius who will eventually surpass the Short Human tribe?"

the Casting Ladder murmured to itself. "I hope that someday, this experience will help him see the Short Human tribe in a friendly light. After all, my hunch is always right."

Three days later, the third round finally began.

This round was much easier than the second one because this round only involved testing one's casting talent and casting capability.

Most even considered the second round as the real competition.

Among the Helian Clan's treasures was a divine drum that could test casting talent and casting capability.

It served as the centerpiece of the square, with a height of three meters and a width of two meters. At this point, all the participants and warriors who came to watch had already gathered around it.

The drum was a reddish-yellow color peppered with circles all over its body, from the center to its outermost part. A closer inspection revealed exactly one hundred circles.

As for the test, the participants would take turns in hitting the drum with their strongest runic power, which it would then absorb. Then, the drum would glow according to the participants' casting talent and casting capability. The stronger the participants were in terms of casting, the more circles would glow up.

If a participant's strike could light a hundred circles, the drum would make a sound, and the circles would shine again.

In other words, the higher the casting talent and casting capability of a participant, the more the drum would sound and more circles would glow.

"So this is a test of casting talent and casting capability, huh? Interesting!"
