Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 122 Ricky's Elaborate Plan

Ricky smiled viciously as he looked at the young man in white.

Now that the young man was so afraid of Elder Alexander finding out about what he did, Ricky just

needed to call Elder Alexander here and see what would happen next. But calling the said Elder was

also a problem in itself.

"Now, the appraisal begins!" Elder Alexander announced after making sure that all the casting

materials were delivered to the disciples present.

After this, all the disciples participating in the appraisal concentrated on the preparation for casting. The

sound of flames rising rang instantly in the air.

Ricky also started his casting preparation. He first put some of the scrap metals into the smelter tripod

to make them melt.

'What a fool he is!' the young man in white, who always paid attention to Ricky in fear of him telling

Elder Alexander about everything, thought. He was terrified because if the Elder found out about what

he did, he would be expelled from the Casting Guild. Andrew may not be punished, but he would

definitely become the scapegoat.

So far, though, Ricky hadn't said anything and just focused on casting.

Who else would react like this, except for a fool?

But there was one thing that the young man did not notice. Instead of putting all of the scrap metals into

the smelter tripod, Ricky put only half.

'It seems that I don't need to worry too much. There's no need to do this much shadowing to deal with

this fool, ' the young man in white thought to himself. Then he started his casting preparation and didn't

look at Ricky again, not even a glance.

After all, he also needed to focus on his appraisal in order to have a good performance.

...

Not much molten iron could be obtained by melting these scrap metals. This was true for other casting

masters, but for Ricky, it was not difficult to make some more molten iron from these scrap metals.

He stimulated the Devouring Skill and transferred the Devouring Fire from the Devourer Zone to his

right hand. Soon, scorching hot scarlet flames spread all over it.

Ricky had found out that with the improvement of his level, the Devouring Fire in the Devourer Zone

also became more powerful. Of course, there was a requirement: enough energy was needed to be

devoured by the Devouring Fire. This was also the reason why Ricky often went hunting beasts.

Now, as Ricky's Devouring Fire melted those scrap metals, some pure molten iron was separated from

rusty metals. This was no doubt the effect of the Devouring Skill.

Sure enough, there was only a little of pure molten iron that had been obtained. It could, at most, be

used to cast a knife.

Nevertheless, it was enough for Ricky to execute his plan.

Almost an hour had passed. Most disciples had finished their preparation and began casting. Regular

thumping sounds could be heard here and there.

The young man in white looked at Ricky again and found that he was still melting the scrap metals. He

breathed a sigh of relief and told his heart to stop worrying. He then immersed himself completely in the

casting.

This action did not go unnoticed. Ricky knew that the young man in white was now deep in his casting

realm. He smiled and finally got the little molten iron out of the tripod to solidify it. A few seconds later,

he also started his own process of casting.

Because the molten iron Ricky obtained was too little and he also used the powerful Devouring Skill in

the process of casting, it took him only one hour to finish his casting. As he had expected, the final

work was just a knife.

This scene definitely didn't escape Elder Samuel's eyes. He had always been watching Ricky's every

movement.

He was very worried because he realized that somebody was out to make trouble for Ricky. However,

before Ricky started his appraisal, he had asked Elder Samuel to promise one thing: whatever

happened to him, please don't interfere. He was confident that he'd solve his own problems.

And Elder Samuel surely believed in Ricky. So, even though he was anxious, he had no choice but to

wait.

After about nine hours, almost all the disciples had finished their casting, including the young man in

white. He stole a glance at Ricky, only to find him standing there dully. The amount of disdain he felt for

him was unbelievable.

'Useless fool!' he thought, mocking Ricky again with all his heart and mind.

But even though he was watching him as closely as he could, he didn't notice the knife Ricky had

hidden within the unsuspecting scrap metals.

Finally, after ten hours, disciples of the Casting Guild and Elder Alexander started checking the results.

It didn't take long for a disciple to approach Ricky. He was astounded after he saw the scrap metals on

Ricky's casting table, and he instantly realized that Ricky was set up by others.

Regardless of the disciple's expression and what was possibly going on in his head, Ricky took that

small knife out of the half scrap metals.

"Senior, please check my work!" Ricky said, holding the knife with a smile and offering it to the disciple.

"That's amazing!" the disciple exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that Ricky would use the scrap

metals to cast a weapon. As a casting master, he knew it was not an easy feat.

His reaction attracted the attention of Elder Alexander. He came to Ricky almost immediately.

His eyes instantly turned gloomy after seeing the scrap metals on Ricky's casting table. He was also

brilliant enough to know what had happened.

And soon, his eyes landed on the knife Ricky cast out of those scrap metals.

He took the knife from his disciple and scrutinized it carefully. The more he inspected it, the more

surprised he got.

Finally, Elder Alexander looked into Ricky's eyes and praised him with great delight. "What a well- NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

crafted knife! Its purity is up to ninety percent. You possess an extraordinary Pounding Skill! You are

really gifted with casting. Well done!"

Elder Alexander's compliments caught the attention of all the people around him.

'Damn it! What the hell? How could this be?' the young man thought in disbelief. He was completely

terrified of the scene that was unfolding before him.

'How is it possible? How could he extract molten iron and molten copper from those scrap metals and

even manage to cast a knife?'

The young man's body trembled and he felt his knees would give out at any moment.

As for the disciple who handed out the casting materials to Ricky, he stood rooted to spot with his eyes

filled with insurmountable fear.

Now, with the attention of the casting masters at Demi-spirit Level, other people got to know what had

just happened. They couldn't believe their eyes and they couldn't help exclaiming in surprise.

How could this awful thing happen in the competition of the Casting Guild? And how was it possible for

Ricky to successfully cast a knife using only those scrap metals?

And it wasn't just a simple knife, either; it was the very knife that was strongly complimented by Elder

Alexander himself.

They couldn't deny it. All of this only meant one thing: Ricky was a genuine casting genius.

'I finally understand what Ricky's elaborate plan is. It really works. Now everybody knows he is a

casting genius!' Elder Samuel looked at Ricky and then at the people gathering around him. He was

reminded of how he was told not to interfere regardless of what happened, and he was glad he kept his

cool and just waited. It all made sense now.

This was Ricky's grand plan; to cast a knife with excellent quality out of scrap metals, attract Elder

Alexander's attention, and take everyone--including him--by storm.

Ricky's casting talent was fully exhibited in this knife.

And to add icing on the cake, Elder Alexander also found out through this way that someone made

trouble for Ricky, and he would surely deal with the relevant people. This elaborate plan of his killed

two birds in one stone, and he clearly achieved what he wanted.
