Rocky surprisingly won the fight by just one move. Everyone was left dumbfounded; they could not
believe that it was possible. They all thought that he was just a loser who was not capable of having
any skills.
However, Rocky had been able to reach the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage and had even defeated an
opponent who had won against the Bear.
People found such a change hard to accept.
"Deity Finger... When did he master this skill?" Mia was also surprised at seeing the spiritual martial
arts that Rocky had just exhibited. She then soon remembered that she had personally practiced with
Rocky for several days. She noticed that he had a knack for closely imitating her cultivation of the
spiritual martial arts. However, she did not think anything of it at the time because she did not expect
Rocky to actually be able to learn her skill.
"Has his power already reached the stage where it is strong enough to learn the spiritual martial arts?
He deliberately intimated my spiritual martial arts and somehow tricked me into instructing him." Mia
was suddenly enlightened. "It turns out that he had been deceiving me all this time. But what on earth
did he do to hide his power so well?" she angrily murmured to herself.
"I wonder if he really is only at the fourth grade of Mortal Stage. Let me see how much power he is
hiding." Among the shocked crowd, someone was staring daggers at Rocky as the latter stood on
stage.
"Basil won! It turns out that he has reached the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage after all. Looks like I
have been worried for nothing," Lena said, smiling happily.
'How was that possible?! When did he reach the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage? How come no one
found out?' Priest Dean was shocked as well. He now regretted taunting and belittling Rocky in front of
the other trainees. Rocky's splendid performance was like a slap to his face for putting his foot in his
mouth.
The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and Felicia beside him were the only ones who seemed to be
unperturbed.
"Your Majesty, you have so many undiscovered talented people in the Holy Dragon Empire. A royal
spirit manipulator who seemed to only possess a power at the second grade of the Mortal Stage
suddenly exhibited the power of a fourth grade of the Mortal Stage. I'm curious to know as to what kind
of cloaking skill he used," Felicia said, impressed.
The emperor only gave out a laugh in response. He was also surprised and did not know how to
respond. Rocky's excellent behaviour greatly delighted him.
While most of the people were between a mix of being shocked and being impressed, some were
extremely annoyed at Rocky's showing off. One of them was Alston.
Alston clenched his fists as he glared angrily. He had heard that Rocky had reached the second grade,
but he paid no mind to it. However, Rocky eventually reached the fourth grade in such a short amount
of time. It was definitely unnatural.
To everyone's astonishment, the score was now six to four.
Rocky's next opponent was one of the two phoenix spirit manipulators at the fifth grade of the Mortal
Stage.
Although Rocky releasing his power at the fourth grade and eventually defeating his opponent caught
everyone by surprise, no one believed that he would be able to do it again. There was an enormous
gap between the fourth grade and the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage. Moreover, his opponent had a
strong two-star war beast that looked like a huge rhinoceros. Rocky was clearly at the major
disadvantage because he did not have his war beast with him.
Aside from that, everyone was thinking that Rocky's power had reached its limit at the fourth grade of
the Mortal Stage.
'I still have two fights left after this one. Looks like I have to end this as soon as possible, ' Rocky
thought to himself and then immediately blew a whistle.
A beast swiftly rushed out of the stable and ran towards the fighting site without being noticed by
anyone.
At the same time, Rocky started to move as well. He got close to his opponent in a flash. Seeing that
Rocky did not have his war beast, his opponent commanded his own two-star war beast to attack
Rocky to test how powerful Rocky was.
Just as the two-star war beast was rushing towards Rocky, a beast suddenly jumped out from the
crowd, landing on the fighting stage. It blocked the two-star war beast's attack and hit it back hard. The
two-star war beast rolled onto the ground and immediately passed out.
Everyone was once again left in shock by the scene they witnessed.
After the beast knocked out the two-star war beast, it ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Rocky was now closer to his opponent. He then released a fifth level dragon spiritual power
from his left arm. The crowd instantly fell dead silent.
The expression on everyone's faces had gone completely stiff. They were all wondering the same
thing: how much hidden power did Rocky have and how in the world was he hiding it?
In just a quarter of an hour, Rocky seemed to have reached the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage,
completely subverting everyone's initial expectations of him.
He had proved that he was not a failure and a non-achiever, but rather a skillfully talented spirit
manipulator who could surprise everyone.
After Rocky rose his power up to the fifth grade, he activated the Illusion Technique. He then launched
an attack that was as fierce as a thunderstorm, which immediately suppressed his opponent.
However, his opponent's strength was not one to be underestimated. She was still able to withstand
Rocky's powerful initial attack.
"Hey, gorgeous, your clothes that covered your chest seem to be torn," Rocky suddenly quipped.
His opponent, not realizing that Rocky was playing tricks on her, automatically looked down at her
clothes, worrying that she might have been indecent. She had been tricked.
"Illusionary Palm!" Seeing that she was distracted, Rocky immediately launched the Illusionary Palm
towards his opponent.
"You rat!" she shouted as she realized that he had been fooled. She then immediately released the
phoenix spiritual power and formed a water shield to block Rocky's attack.
The palm shadows ferociously collided with the water shield and caused a thick mist.
Rocky then cried out another obscene remark, "Hey, gorgeous! I think your waist belt is loose!"
