The legendary warrior novel Chapter 172

The power of two balls of Beast Fire rapidly swept over the whole yard. Caleb and Elvis stared at them, shocked. They were even more astounded than Autelan had been.

"This... This is the Beast Fire!" Caleb and Elvis looked at each other, mouths agape. Soon their eyes filled with greed, which they had to consciously conceal.

"I'm never mean to people on my side. Don't say anything superfluous. As long as you claim to the whole disciples of the Snow Sect that you've become members of my Misty South Faction, these two balls of Beast Fire will be given to you as gifts," Ricky said.

After hearing this, Caleb and Elvis fell silent.

Just as Ricky had guessed, the reason the Casting Faction and the Refinement Faction hadn't recruited Caleb and Elvis successfully was because they hadn't offered enough incentives.

Beast Fire was appealing even to powerful warriors of Bone Reinforcement, let alone these two!

"There's no reason to hesitate. It's normal to take money and then help to handle affairs. Besides, after joining my Misty South Faction, I won't restrict you. You can still go about your own business." Ricky tried again to persuade them after he saw the flicker of hesitation in their eyes.

But Caleb and Elvis were still silent.

For some time, they remained mum.

"It seems that they have rejected our invitation. Autelan, let's go then!" Ricky said, intending to leave first.

"Hold on, Ricky!" Caleb stopped him hurriedly.

"Ricky, it's a big deal to join a faction. So we need to consider this carefully. Could you please give us some time to think about it?" Elvis asked.

"Fair point. How long do you need?" Ricky asked.

'The fish finally took the bait!' he thought to himself.

"An hour is enough!" Caleb said.

"Alright then, can we stay here for a while before you make up your mind? Sorry to disturb you!" Ricky said.

"It doesn't matter. Never mind!" Caleb smiled. Subsequently, they led the disciples including Ricky to a side-room, prepared tea for them, and then took their leave.

"Ricky, in my opinion, they are just smug, self-righteous and ungrateful people. We'd better not invite these two," Autelan said, after making sure that they had left.

"Autelan, don't worry. I know very well what kind of people they are," Ricky said. "But right now, we have to make use of their fame."

"But in order to invite them successfully, we have to send them two balls of Beast Fire. I think that's much too high of an offer," Edgar also said.

"It's not too much for the sake of the Misty South Faction," Ricky replied calmly.

But there was one thing Ricky didn't tell them. He was thinking to himself, 'I will get the Beast Fire back myself sooner or later.'

"That's right. After all, among all the inner disciples, no one has greater influence and appeal right now than these two warriors." Autelan nodded his head. He looked at Ricky with respect.

Only people like Ricky who dared to make risky decisions and act decisively were qualified to become mighty warriors.

And that was exactly what Ricky showed in this situation. Other people would be terribly reluctant to give Beast Fire away, not to mention two balls of it!

An hour passed soon. Caleb and Elvis came back.

"Have you made a decision by now?" Ricky asked politely.

"Yes, we've decided to join the Misty South Faction. But there's one thing we want to make clear of. Of course, we will also do our part after joining the Misty South Faction, but you cannot force us to do things we don't want to do using your power as faction leader," Caleb said.

"Great! That's a deal!" Ricky smiled.

Ricky immediately took the two balls of Beast Fire and showed them to Caleb and Elvis.

Seeing the Beast Fire near at hand, they couldn't help but hurriedly reach for it.

However, Ricky drew back his hands suddenly before they could reach.

"What do you mean by this, Ricky?" Caleb and Elvis said coldly, suddenly disappointed.

"Don't worry. I'm just thinking… since you have stated your demand, could you also allow me to make a request? After all, it's also a big deal for me to have people join my faction." Ricky smiled.

"Really? Just tell us what it is. As long as it's not too outlandish for us, we will be willing to consider it," Caleb said to Ricky.

"Ha-ha. It's actually nothing too big. I just wanted to personally know your fighting ability. I hope you don't mind. After all, although you rank top ten among the inner disciples, the rank was actually made a long time ago. So..."

Ricky stopped here, knowing they understood enough.

"Ha-ha, I see. Ricky, you are being really careful." Caleb smiled.

"But Ricky, we are no match for Autelan indeed. Please tell him to hold back on his punches," Elvis said.

Ricky's requirement was understandable for them. Because if it were them, they would also like to know the abilities of those joining their faction. After all, the reason why Ricky used two balls of Beast Fire to attract them to join the Misty South Faction was that he appreciated their strength.

"Ha-ha. Take it easy. We're in the same sect. I won't hit you hard. Remember that safety goes first in this combat. We don't want to hurt each other!" Autelan stood up with a warm smile.

Autelan understood what Ricky meant. Ricky wanted to send a message that although you two were good, we were actually better.

But Autelan just understood half of what Ricky meant.

"Autelan, please lay out the terms!" Caleb and Elvis were ready to compete. They were actually eager to compete with this renowned genius.

"I'm sorry to disrupt this but, I think you all misunderstood what I meant," Ricky said, scratching his head as he walked to them feeling a little embarrassed.

"What?" The three warriors were all confused at this. Even Edgar and Heather who were standing nearby also exchanged puzzled looks.

"Ricky, what exactly do you mean?" Caleb said, sounding irritated. He was beginning to think that Ricky was just playing jokes on them. After all, they still thought it was impossible for Ricky to send them two balls of Beast Fire.

"I meant that the examination would not be done by Autelan. It would be done by me," Ricky said lightly, looking at them earnestly.

However, his light words had the same effect as a clap of thunder exploding fiercely in the yard. It made all the people present rather stunned.
