Chapter 129 Fighting Against Andrew (1/2)
The tension in the air was so thick that one could cut through it with a knife.
”The intermediate Mortal Level”—these words were like a magic spell, causing the disciples' ears to tingle and the hairs on their forearms to stand up. Only a moment ago, they had sneered at Ricky.
They came to venerate Andrew as a symbolic figure, someone who shared their jealousy of Ricky and utterly denied his competence. However, rocks emerged when water subsided. The saber that Ricky had cast served to counter their disdain, once and for all.
”How is it possible? How could he cast a weapon at the intermediate Mortal Level?” disciples murmured, looking at Ricky with suspicious eyes.
”Could it be that he was previously a casting master at the intermediate stage of the Mortal Level? But if so, why did he join the Casting Appraisal at the inferior stage? And he had to compete with Andrew during this too! And Elder Alexander's favoring him, perhaps it was only a coincidence!
Had he really reached the intermediate stage within three days? It's impossible!”
...
”How could this ever happen? He really made it!” Kayla was certainly the most astonished. In those three days, she had been observing quite closely how Ricky had done.
Bertha was, of course, surprised as well. But she again had to remind herself not to feel too surprised when it came to Ricky, especially after what he had done in the Snow Sect.
”What the hell!? Damn it! There can be no one superior to me! How dare he challenge me!” Andrew was outraged. ”Die! He must die! Otherwise he will most definitely become an obstacle to my success!”
...
”Great!” The casting master who was examining Ricky's weapon nodded with satisfaction, rather pleased.
With a cacophony of heated discussions, the appraisal finally came to an end. About four-fifths of the participants passed, which meant that only about forty people were qualified to proceed to the next round.
Now, many disciples began to change their attitude towards Ricky! Perhaps it was true that becoming superior to those who were envious of you would turn their ill will into worship and respect!
