Chapter 1428 Shock
Chapter 1428 Shock
Time went by quickly, and it was soon Brent's turn, who was in the sixth place.
The best result until this point was five sounds and fifty circles.
And the one who had achieved this feat could undoubtedly be regarded as a top genius in casting.
"I wonder if Brent can make six sounds," a warrior said out loud.
Ignoring the sharp gazes of the audience, Brent walked to the drum's side. He gathered all of his runic
power, merged it with his casting intent which turned into a bright light, and slammed it into the center
of the drum. Almost instantly, the light was absorbed by the drum.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A moment of silence later, strong sounds reverberated through the air. As the light bloomed in circles,
the sound rang out six times. After the sixth ring, the light stopped on the tenth circle.
"Six sounds!" a warrior exclaimed.
"Six sounds! A casting master like him who is under the age of three hundred could be considered an
ace genius in casting!"
"He has proved without doubt that he has the qualifications to become a casting master at the Demi-
divine Level of this era."
"With six sounds, Brent will be identified as one of the top talents in the Misty South. If he is able to
grow this talent further into the future, he will make a place for himself in the Misty South," the Dragon
Intent Grass said to Ricky through telepathy.
"I wonder how many times I can make the drum ring with my current strength," Ricky answered. He
was looking forward to his performance.
Melissa and Tommy would test after Brent.
Melissa walked up to the drum in her red floral dress. She looked confident, even a little arrogant. She
clapped her slender hand onto the drum and seven deafening sounds burst forth.
After the seventh ring, the light stopped on the twentieth circle.
"Unbelievable! Brent is only one place behind Melissa, and yet she was able to make the drum sound
seven times. The gap between their talents is too obvious." The warriors around them sighed as they
felt sorry for Brent.
"That is the gap between someone who has possibilities of becoming a Demi-divine Level casting
master and someone who is already on their path to becoming a Demi-divine Level casting master. The
difference is tremendous."
"The casting masters of Helian Clan are on another level, far beyond the reaches of the other forces."
"You're right. And here comes the next one."
Melissa was followed by Tommy. He was stronger than her when it came to casting. After the seventh
ring, the light stopped at the thirtieth circle.
"Ah, it stopped with the thirtieth circle. Such a pity. If he could have gone a little further, Tommy could
have broken the previous record," a warrior said.
"After the sixth sound, the gap between the neighboring circles becomes larger. Melissa and Tommy
made the drum ring seven times and yet managed to reach the higher circles. The two of them are sure
to become prominent figures of the Helian Clan in the future."
"Next is Veronica. She is sure to surpass Melissa and Tommy!"
"That's not necessarily true. Although Veronica surpassed the two in the second round, this test is
mainly about their casting talent. There could be an upset."
After seeing Melissa's and Tommy's results, Brent felt helpless. He shook his head in dismay. The large
gap between him and the other two was a slap of reality and he lost his fighting spirit. There was no
use going against the Helian Clan.
Shortly after, Veronica walked to the drum. Looking effortlessly beautiful in her green dress, she
attracted the attention of everyone in the crowd. In the martial world, strong and beautiful women were
always an attraction, especially those who were masters in both martial arts and casting.
With a shout, Veronica poured all her strength onto the drum. Seven times the sound burst forth, and
the light bloomed and finally stopped at the forty-first circle.
"Amazing!" The warriors cheered, seeing that Veronica had surpassed Melissa and Tommy.
"Veronica has talent. She is qualified to be one of your women," the Dragon Intent Grass said to Ricky
through telepathy.
"Shut up!" Ricky cursed with a smirk.
However, he had to admit that Veronica was indeed strong.
"What a pity! She still didn't break the record," a warrior commented.
"Veronica is for sure a casting genius that we haven't seen in thousands of years. Unfortunately,
Kamari and Ricky are too incredible that they outshine her." The saints from the Casting Guild
discussed among themselves through their telepathic link.
"That's true. If not for Kamari, we could have suppressed the Helian Clan."
"The only option now is to try our best to win over Ricky!"
"I agree with you. Only a genius like him can help us suppress the Helian Clan."
Once Veronica exited, the atmosphere in the square quickly became tense. All eager eyes, including
those of the saints, were focused on Ricky and Kamari.
The two men were against each other once again.
There was a strong scent of gunpowder in the air.
"The fight for the first place begins now!" The warriors looked at each other with excitement.
"A real fight between the two top geniuses!"
"You two were tied in the previous round. Who wants to go first?" the short man asked.
Kamari stepped forward and walked towards the drum.
"Do you know why I am going first?" he asked Ricky through telepathy.
"Please do tell," Ricky replied.
"My talent and power will be so great that you will not have the courage to even come up here after me.
I will make you shake in fear," Kamari said arrogantly.
"Is that so?" Ricky replied in a cold voice. "Let me tell you something, Kamari. I have never lost to any
genius at the same level as me, be it martial arts or casting.
So, I am definitely not going to lose to some so-called genius."
Ricky was very serious, and the so-called genius he was referring to was obviously Kamari.
Kamari didn't respond. He concentrated all of his runic power on to the drum and punched it with every
ounce of his strength.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
In that moment, all the ears and eyes in the crowd were fixated on the drum. Seven strong sounds
came from the drum in an instant, and ninety-nine circles shone brightly.
Seven sounds and ninety-nine circles!
"Kamari broke the record without breaking a sweat!" the warriors shouted in excitement.
But it was not a shocking result by any means. This much was expected of the genius.
"With one more circle, the drum would have rung for the eighth time."
"There is a huge difference between being able to make seven sounds and eight sounds. Although he
could have made it with just one more circle, that is the gap in power between the Demi-sage Level
and the Sage Level."
"That's right. Even Kamari wouldn't be able to do it unless he is a casting master of Sage Level."
Bang!
Before they could finish their discussion, an even stronger sound resounded in their ears.
In the space around them, there was a visible sound vibration, and runes pervaded. This sound was
real, not their imagination.
All their eyes widened in a stunned silence, except for the few elders of the Short Human tribe.
There was an eighth sound!This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
