Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 108 Arrival Of Autelan

"Elder Samuel, I'm very sorry... you know that my interests lie more with martial arts!" said Ricky after Elder Samuel's impassioned speech. He was at a loss for what to do.

"Right! Well! Sorry for my forwardness. Besides, between you and I, it would be such a waste for a genius like you to be my apprentice,” said Elder Samuel, waving his hand to conceal the embarrassment he felt.

"Ricky, what's wrong with you? How can you refuse my Master?" Bertha approached Ricky and whispered, "You are embarrassing Master in front of us!”

Ricky suddenly became upset at this, not knowing what to say. He had been careless of the social dynamics.

"Ricky, do you mind if you come with me to discuss the art of casting in private?" Elder Samuel said, as if the offer of apprenticeship had never happened. His manner of speaking was as though he was inviting a master who was his equal.

His actions were clearly shocking to Bertha and Olivia, and made them feel that Ricky's Pounding Skill probably meant a lot more than what they could imagine. What could it be, exactly!? Gradually, Edgar came to understand what the implications of Ricky's casting were. He thought in disbelief, "It's amazingly hard to believe that not only is Ricky a genius of martial arts, but also a rare genius of casting.

Even though Ricky has an incomplete spiritual meridian, I know in my heart that he will likely play an outstanding role in the Snow Land, hell, even beyond it!"

"How can I refuse Elder Samuel?" said Ricky with a slight smile, getting up to follow Elder Samuel. Later, the several of them returned together to Elder Samuel's house and began to talk about casting skills.

Although Ricky didn't have any experience, he just divulged some of the things he had comprehended from the Devouring Skill, and this in itself was sufficient to keep Elder Samuel, Bertha and Olivia lost in thought for half a day.

On the other hand, Ricky learned a lot of valuable experiences, too.

Ricky, knowing that generosity would be rewarded, passed on to them a piece of the Pounding Skill from the Devouring Skill.

The three casting afficionados were visibly overwhelmed by the excitement.

"Ricky, what would you say to the idea of me joining your faction?" His faction didn't even have a name yet! And this kind Elder was more than ready to join it!

"Thank you, Elder Samuel!" Ricky stammered, bowing deeply. How could he refuse? It was an offer too good to be true!

Just when he had been worrying about the lack of demi-immortals in his faction, Elder Samuel presented himself! Things were coming together! After all, Elder Samuel, being both a demi- immortal and a Demi-spirit Level casting master, was equal to three ordinary demi-immortals all together!

"In this case, then I will join your faction, too!" Olivia said, gaining confidence in Elder Samuel's movement.

The demi-immortal Elder Samuel, the core disciples Olivia and Grace—what I need to do more than ever is convince Autelan!" thought Ricky. His faction was in its preliminary form, awaiting birth. "Ricky, you know that I am already part of the Amber Faction, so I can't join you. But, you have my word. I will support you and I think that the rest of the Amber Faction will too," Bertha offered. Ricky and Edgar left shortly, their spirits high.

"Ricky, I really do think that you should take Elder Samuel as your master. Although I don't know much about casting skills, what I do know is that on any road, one who has a mentor takes a more straightforward path!" said Edgar, walking next to his friend.

Ha-ha, casting is more of a hobby to me. Martial arts are my true passion,” Ricky explained casually. It was obvious that he did not care for casting much.

But aside from this, Ricky just didn't want to take anyone as his teacher just yet. For others, having a teacher would be an advantage, but for him, it would only hinder him to a great extent. That was why Grace and he were compatible. She let him explore on his own.

"It's your call!" said Edgar, nodding

"Oh, what a good day today was for us! Not only did we get Olivia to join, but also Elder Samuel! And Bertha thinks we stand a chance of getting support from the Amber Faction, which is very good news for our faction.”

"Yes, what we need is just a few more members now!" said Ricky. "And in the process of recruiting, we have to remember that strength is not the main aspect that we zero in on, but their nature and character.”

"That's for sure! Strength only gets us so far!" nodded Edgar.

"What's our next plan for Autelan?”

"Edgar, I think we must be subtle. I suppose the best thing to do would be for you to go back to the Zenith Mountain, and let him know that Olivia is one of our members and that she is also very interested in my casting skills,” said Ricky confidently.

"Ha-ha, I like your thinking!" Edgar chuckled.

And so, Edgar went home towards the Zenith Mountain, and Ricky returned to his own small courtyard

"Ricky, in the six days you've been gone, have you persuaded Autelan to join us?" Grace immediately asked at the sight of Ricky.

"Master, a little more patience. I foresee that within six hours, Autelan will definitely come here and beg me to let him join us,” said Ricky confidently as he seated himself. There was a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yeah? It is your confidence which makes me curious,” Grace said in surprise.

How was it possible that Autelan would come here begging Ricky to accept him into their new faction?

Grace, Ricky, and Heather sat there, waiting. Time would tell.

Four hours later, a roar sounded outside the small courtyard.

"Ricky, come out!" A figure appeared in the small courtyard. It was most definitely Autelan.

Ricky quickly came out and smiled, "Autelan, my brother, what's the matter? Who is messing with you? Why are you angry?"

Autelan was actually here! Grace and Heather exchanged looks of shock.

"Don’t mess with me! How did you fool Olivia into joining your pathetic faction?" shouted Autelan. "My brother, Autelan. What unfair blame you put on my shoulders! The only reason she joined me was of her own will." Ricky said, "You know me and my power so well. I would never force it."

"Is it because Olivia wants to learn casting skills from you?" asked Autelan, coming closer and closer. "Well, you've proven a genius once again! You have guessed precisely. As long as you join my pathetic faction, I promise to help you win her heart.

Otherwise, Olivia will always ask me for advice. We'd be spending a lot of time together that I would find it hard to guarantee that nothing would happen between us!" Ricky said in a low tone.

"How dare you!?" growled Autelan, his usually cool brow now furrowed.

"Well, it totally depends on you, buddy,” said Ricky with sly smile.

"Oh, Ricky! You are good, too good! Count me in!" Autelan said resentfully. "You're really making me regret saving your life in the first place! It would have been better if I'd just let that man from the West Vanity Valley kill you!"

"Ha-ha, Autelan, this is the fate between us. The universe says so!"

"Get out of my face! There is no fate that binds us!" Autelan shouted, whirling around and leaving. Ricky now looked at Grace and Heather, the looks on their faces priceless.
