The legendary warrior Chapter 123 Reaping What They Had Sowed

"Hmm.. Great! Impressive! "Excellent!"

A few moments later, Elder Alexander's aged eyes were filled with glee as he gazed upon the knife
made by Ricky. He could not help but express his admiration for it as he was beginning to fall under the
impression that Ricky was a genius in the making due to his unique creation.

Elder Alexander recognized Ricky's casting abilities and knew that they were far more impressive than
those who practice casting with the same age as Ricky. He could easily tell as he was a Spirit Level
casting master himself, even surpassing the likes of Elder Samuel.

'Who would have thought that Ricky possessed such an aptitude for casting that he was able to
impress Elder Alexander!' the other warriors contemplated. Suddenly, they began to feel more envious
of Ricky for his accomplishment.

They started to wonder where Ricky came from and how exactly he was able to capture the attention of
Elder Alexander.

Even the other schools were astonished by what they were witnessing as they had begun to feel regret
for missing the opportunity to take Ricky under their supervision.

The disciple clothed in white, along with the one who tampered with Ricky's casting materials, could not
believe what just happened. They were so sure of their plot's success but they did not expect it to fail
so badly.

"Ricky, right? My friend, I am very sorry for what you had to go through. The Casting Guild made a
mistake. However, I assure you that I will see your case through and help you get what you rightfully
deserve. This is my word," Elder Alexander said unexpectedly.



Everyone in the square was surprised by the casting master's sudden remark. Even Elder Samuel was
caught off guard.

It was a known fact that Elder Alexander was no common master among his fellow elders.
Furthermore, he was a Spirit Level casting master and an innate spiritual king himself. He was also one
of the most well-known and respected Elders in the Casting Guild. Even the head of the Guild held a
great deal of regard for Elder Alexander.

Now, Elder Alexander recognized Ricky's potential as a casting master and vowed to assist him. This
action was shockingly new to every person around them.

'Could Ricky's casting skill rival that of the other seniors and prodigies?' Many of the warriors and
masters thought as they witnessed Elder Alexander's unexpected gesture.

However, they could not prove their assumption right away.

They could only examine the knife that Ricky made and determine whether or not their speculations
were true.

As for Ricky, even he was surprised by the Elder's fondness of him and his precious knife. Even though
he knew that his knife would leave a good impression, he did not expect Elder Alexander to address
him as an equal and even vowing to help his case.

For the first time in his life as a casting master did he only feel respected, much so admired by a
master as respected as Elder Alexander.

'Am I really as good as they say I am? I.. I can't believe this is happening, ' Ricky humbly thought to
himself.



"Elder Alexander, I am humbled by your words but I am just a simple beginner trying to make a name
for himself," Ricky replied as he waved his hand and took a bow to show his humility and respect
towards the Elder.

With this gesture, Elder Alexander sensed how much a modest and genuine person Ricky was and
was more pleased with him.

At the same time, his eyes were directed to the disciples who were in charge of distributing the casting
materials. He then began to speak to them, "Find out the menace responsible for tampering with the
materials or else every single one of you will feel my wra-"

"It is... It is me, Elder Alexander! I am the one responsible!" The man quickly stood up and raised his
hand, cutting off Elder Alexander before he could finish. It was the one who distributed Ricky's casting
materials. Barely able to stand up straight, he looked at the Elder.

"Explain to me right now why you tried to sabotage Ricky's work!" Elder Alexander exclaimed furiously
at the disciple. With his words, an aura so powerful emerged that it drove the deceiving disciple to bend
his knees before him.

The disciple could feel the weight of the aura around his entire body. "El...Elder, pl- please...", he
whimpered. He then began to look up at the one dressed in white as he could not finish his plea.

The other disciple knew what this meant. Despite his fear of the Elder, he stood up immediately and
said, "Elder Alexander, I am the one who is truly responsible. I am the one who paid him to set Ricky
up."

The disciple in white did not want to admit to his actions. He definitely did not. But, he thought to
himself that it was the only way. He knew he had no other choice but to own up immediately and let the
investigation end with him because if it continued up to Andrew, he would be doomed to a far worse
end.



As he stood up and admitted to his offenses, everyone looked at him. They were baffled by this
revelation and began to talk among themselves.

One disciple asked the person next to him, "Wait. Is that Allen? Mr. Wu's friend?" The other disciples
recognized him immediately as well.

"Ahh, it makes sense now. There was this one time where Ricky messed everything up for Mr. Wu
while he was picking up a girl which eventually ended up ignoring him. Maybe he wanted revenge," one
of the disciples murmured. Meanwhile, the other people started talking about that story as well.

However, they eventually stopped gossiping around for fear of getting into trouble with Mr. Wu.

Elder Alexander then turned his eyes back to the disciple in white and asked, "Why would you even
think of doing such a discriminating act?" The Elder began to act colder towards the disciple.

"He's caused me trouble before and I wanted to humiliate him in return. That's why I decided to frame
him, Elder," Allen replied calmly as to not show his fear.

"Are you not aware of the rules and regulations of the Casting Guild?" The Elder asked coldly. At this
moment, the same aura began to shift its way towards Allen causing his mouth to bleed a little bit.
However, Elder Alexander withdrew it for a moment as to not hurt the disciple too badly.

"I.. I am aware, Elder!" Allen exclaimed as he spat out blood while touching his cheek.

"Then, you know the consequences of your actions," the Elder answered. For a brief moment, he
paused. "From this day forth, you, your entire clan, and the sect you belong are hereby exiled from the
Casting City! You are forbidden to come back to these grounds! If even one of you is caught disobeying
my command, each one of you shall be executed immediately! Now, leave this place and never come
back!" the Elder announced, proving that his authority was unmatched.



Upon hearing this, Allen, along with his entire clan, left immediately. They felt helpless against the
Elder's command.

There was silence all around as soon as Allen and his people have left. However, the Elder's work was
far from over. Once again, Elder Alexander set his sights upon the disciple responsible for tampering
with the casting materials. The Elder began to speak towards him, "Since you are only an accessory to
the crime, I shall give you one final chance to prove your worth."

"Make a knife out of these materials, just like Ricky did. If you are successful, I shall forgive you and
your offenses towards him."

As the disciple was handed the materials, he knew he was not capable to do what the Elder had asked
him. "No... Not this, please. Elder Alexander, please! Anything but this!" the disciple cried. He then
continued to beg for the Elder's mercy, but to no avail.

"There is no other way. If you cannot, then you have failed," said Elder Alexander, coldly.

The Elder then began to walk towards the disciple whimpering beneath his feet. He placed his palm on
his head and the disciple started to cry out louder. He knew what would become of him soon.

"Oh.. Oh my... He's emasculating his casting abilities in the spiritual meridian. His casting days are
over." Many warriors exclaimed as they witnessed this haunting sight.

The disciples of the Casting Guild had never felt more unnerved in their entire lives. They knew what
this meant for a casting master. They were right to fear what was happening before their very eyes.

The other disciples thought to themselves and swore to never violate or disobey the rules and
regulations of the Casting Guild. They knew that if they were to go against Elder Alexander's
command, they would receive a punishment far worse than any other.



Being stripped away of one's casting talent from the spiritual meridian was a fate no casting master
should ever want to experience.

'It seems to me that Elder Alexander sets this punishment as a warning for the other disciples. A
warning that no one should dare to act against the law of the Casting Guild, ' Ricky thought to himself,
showing no signs of compassion towards the accused.

After a few moments, Elder Alexander had finished depriving the disciple of his casting talent. He
asked someone to escort the powerless disciple out as he walked back towards his seat.

The disciple was too weak to stand on his own. However, he looked back at Ricky before he went out
of sight. His eyes filled with grief and anger towards Ricky. Rage and vengeance had consumed his
body. And, with his last few moments in the guild, he vowed to himself that he would make Ricky pay
for what had happened to him.

Ricky did not seem to care because he knew that the disciple was only one in a long list of people who
wanted him dead.

It didn't matter that much to add one more. With everything that transpired, it was clear that Allen and
his accomplice reaped what they had sowed.

And, if not for the help of Elder Alexander, Ricky would not have been able to pass the test of the
Casting Guild.
