The legendary warrior

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.
