Born Almighty Warrior

Chapter 1172 Being Fooled By Ricky

A sudden silence fell over the room as soon as the words fell from Ricky's mouth.

All eyes swiveled toward Ricky's private box, and some warriors even rubbed their ears to make sure

that they didn't hear it wrong.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and no one dared to make a sound.

Meanwhile, Edie and the Thousand-hand Emperor were staying in one of the castle's secret rooms.

They, too, were astounded and intrigued to hear Ricky's price.

"Edie, your friend is too impractical. If he fails to provide that much cultivation resources later, he will

be..."

The Thousand-hand Emperor cut off his words with a sigh. Of course, he knew that Ricky was playing

tricks on the Flame Valley, but he was afraid that Ricky was acting too impulsively. There was no way

Ricky could provide them with that large amount of cultivation resources after all.

"Do you think he doesn't have that large amount of cultivation resources?" Honestly, Edie was not only

asking the Thousand-hand Emperor, but he was also asking this to himself.

"Do you really think he can give us that many cultivation resources? The number of cultivation

resources he mentioned can only be provided by a top force at the Emperor Level!" the Thousand-

hand Emperor answered heatedly. "If possible, I think we should persuade him not to add too much.

Another fifty to six zones of cultivation resources will be enough. If he adds more, the Flame Valley may

stop to compete," he added.

"Perhaps, he does not have that many cultivation resources, but I believe that he has some things that

are priceless," Edie muttered mysteriously, so quietly that the other man could not hear him.

Meanwhile, back at the auction hall, the tense silence had finally been broken.

The spectators seemed to have recovered, and they turned to each other asking,

"Do you think that voice belongs to that white-haired young man?"

"Yes, he must be doing this for revenge! He is trying to raise the price so that the Flame Valley will have

to offer more cultivation resources."

"That's for sure! This kid has balls of steel. Isn't he afraid that the Flame Valley will give up on the bid?"

"Maybe he is that brave, or maybe he has the cultivation resources to pay for it..."

The happiest ones at this moment were the two great forces, the Moon Dragon Palace and the Star

Tiger Palace. They did not want to offend the Flame Valley, but if there was someone who offended the

Flame Valley, they would be very willing to see that.

And the reason was simple— the three major forces competed fiercely against each other. They were

opponent forces, but their hostility could not be shown directly, so they could only resort to passive-

aggressive ways.

"We were right not to raise the price earlier! It is much better for us to let this boy raise the price..." the

leading warriors of the two forces remarked to each other using their internal powers.

In contrast to the amused and cheerful atmosphere of the other private boxes, the Flame Valley's room

was about to explode with tension and rage.

"Damn it!" Hutton cursed with gritted teeth, seething in anger.

He didn't expect that Ricky would dare to raise the price.

"Master, there is no doubt that he doesn't have any cultivation resources with him. If we give up the bid,

he will not be able to pay, and he will just cause trouble for himself. The Wind-Mountain Alliance will not

allow such a person to exist," Fitch suggested quietly.

"I know. But according to the order given by our leader, I have to bring back the Chaotic Sword Intent

Herb at all costs," Hutton answered. "If we give up now, that bastard will surely end up being torn into a

thousand pieces.

In that way, I can avenge Redmond. But the Chaotic Sword Intent Herb will also be taken back by the

Wind-Mountain Alliance, and we won't be able to present it to our leader. That can't happen. We need

to get it at all costs!" he added determinedly.

"At all costs? Is this Chaotic Sword Intent Herb really so important to our leader?" Fitch asked in

confusion.

"With this Chaotic Sword Intent Herb, our leader's breakthrough to the peak of the upper spiritual

emperor or even the demi-saint is assured by one hundred percent. Do you think it is important or not?"

asked Hutton back.

"It seems that we are forced to keep our grievances to ourselves today," muttered Fitch with an angry

scowl. In his mind, he had already killed Ricky a thousand times, if only he could in the here and now.

"Fitch, count the amount of all the cultivation resources we have brought here, plus everything we have

with us," Hutton said with a ferocious look.

After a moment of calculation, Fitch replied, "Master, we have a total of seven hundred and twelve

zones of cultivation resources."

"Okay, let's raise the price. If he exceeds this number, then we'll give up!" Hutton nodded decisively. "If

the offer he makes is beyond our limit, the leader can't blame us for not obtaining the Chaotic Sword

Intent Herb."

Fitch nodded obediently and announced in a loud voice,

"Six hundred and fifty-one zones of cultivation resources!" He sounded incredibly angry, and everyone

knew that the anger in his voice was meant for Ricky.

"The Flame Valley offered a higher price, which just adds one more zone of cultivation resources,"

some people remarked.

"Well, it seems that the Flame Valley is also about to reach its limit. I wonder if the white-haired young

man has the courage to continue to raise the price."

Ricky's booming louder resounded from his private box, as he put another bid for the treasure. He said

aloud, "Ha-ha! Isn't the Flame Valley a big force at the Demi-saint Level? How come you only add a

zone of cultivation resources? If you're not willing to match my bids, then you might lose. I will provide

seven hundred zones of cultivation resources!"

Silence immediately engulfed the entire hall, as a tension, thick enough to cut with a knife, settled over

them all.

Many warriors began to give Ricky's private box a thumbs up.

They didn't know what the final result would be, and honestly, they didn't know if Ricky did it because

he was brave or he was stupid. But all of them admired his courage at that moment.

"Well, now the Flame Valley is in a very embarrassing situation. The young man has added another

twenty zones of cultivation resources. So if the Flame Valley wants to get the Chaotic Sword Intent

Herb, they have to raise the price further!" some warriors said to each other through telepathy.

Suddenly, cracking and breaking sounds could be heard from the Flame Valley's private box.

It was the sound of the tables and chairs breaking, as the Flame Valley's anger got the best of them.

Once again, Fitch's fearsome voice sounded from inside. "Seven hundred and one zones of cultivation

resources!"

All the warriors could tell that he was speaking between gritted teeth, and if he were a volcano, he

would have erupted countless times already thanks to Ricky.

"Alas. From the way I see it, your offer is so stingy and boring. Fine, then, I'll raise the price a little less.

Seven hundred and twelve cultivation resources." Ricky's laid-back voice rang through the air right after

Fitch gave his bid.

Some warriors could not help bursting into laughter when they heard Ricky's teasing. They could not

believe that such an influential force was being played with by a young warrior.

"Edie, it seems that this Kenney is really not that simple," the Thousand-hand Emperor said at this

time. It seemed that Ricky's performance had changed his attitude, as he said to Edie, "Maybe you are

right. Kenney is a person destined for great success."

Hearing his words, Edie was slightly intrigued. "Really? What changed your mind?"

"According to our information, the amount of the cultivation resources brought by the Flame Valley is

about seven hundred and ten zones," reported the Thousand-hand Emperor.

"If Kenney no longer bids a higher price next, it is very likely that he knows how many cultivation

resources the Flame Valley has brought here this time. And if that is true, this Kenney is not as simple

as he seems to be."

At this moment, all the eyes in the auction hall were fixed on the Flame Valley's private box.

Everybody was eager to know if the Flame Valley would continue to raise the price.

After a long silence, they heard Fitch's voice again, but this time, he sounded like he was in agonizing

pain. "Seven hundred and twelve and a half zones of cultivation resources!"

After this, the whole space was silent for a while, as all the warriors came to realize that the Flame

Valley had finally reached their limit.

At that point, they could feel the strong murderous intent coming from the Flame Valley to Ricky.

"Well, now that the Flame Valley has taken out so many cultivation resources, I have to give up the

Chaotic Sword Intent Herb." In the silence, Ricky's sigh was suddenly heard.

"I guess they really deserve to be one of the influential forces.

Warriors like me who do not have a big force as a backup can never compete with them successfully," Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Ricky lamented in a seemingly regretful tone. Upon hearing this, almost all the warriors couldn't hold

back their laughter.
