The legendary warrior

"Although he didn't use the runic power at the Sage Level, he is still a real Sage Level casting master. He has experience, which you lack," the Dragon Intent Grass said.

"Yes, I overlooked that," Ricky admitted. "It looks like I will have to beat him in the third round to win the first place."

"Even if you could become a casting master of Sage Level, it will not be easy to defeat him. Who knows how long it has been since he broke through to the Sage level?" the Dragon Intent Grass said. "Anyway, give it your all. That's the only option at the moment."

"I know. I have no need for the second place. I will be the champion," Ricky said, his eyes filled with determination.

During this time, Kamari had his glare fixed on Ricky. He couldn't accept the fact that Ricky had tied with him for the first place.

He was fully aware of his own advantages. He was a casting master of Sage Level, and even without using the power of the holy runes, he was supposed to have defeated all the other competitors with ease given his rich experience in casting.

However, Ricky had stamped through all of his calculations.

It was to be a fight between a giant and a dwarf. The giant was obviously expected to knock the dwarf in the dirt without breaking a sweat. But that wasn't the outcome in front of them. They were tied. One could only imagine the humiliation faced by the giant.

That was how Kamari felt at that moment. He was overwhelmed by embarrassment.

"Maybe you shouldn't have jumped to conclusions right from the beginning, Kamari," Ricky said to him through telepathy, seeing his murderous glare. "Everyone craves for the chance to be the champion."

"So, you want to take my place?" Kamari asked acidly.

"There's absolutely no one here who doesn't wish to replace you. If they say otherwise, they are either plain liars or are just being modest," Ricky said with a smile.

Ricky was no longer at the bottom of the pile. He was right there at the top, with Kamari of the Helian Clan. There was no need for him to be modest. He already had too many enemies. One more wouldn't hurt. Ricky was planning to make the Misty South Palace recognize his talents.

Gaining the title of the number one casting genius in the Misty South was merely a first step to attaining his goal.
