Having activated the Spirit Possession, Erica was able to break through the peak of the ninth grade of
the Supernal Stage to the Divine Stage.
Rocky shook his head with a sigh when he saw that Erika was still unwilling to give up.
Erica spread her wings and shot straight at Rocky.
"Take this! The Phoenix Dance!" Erica's body arced in the air gracefully and swiftly. Wind gathered
behind her, rumbling into the clouds, and she released a violent spiritual power at the Divine Stage. A
huge phoenix shadow emerged from the skies and glided downwards.
Everywhere the phoenix shadow touched, a bright light erupted.
The spirit manipulators who had been watching were dumbfounded. After all, for them, the attack at the
Divine Stage was already incredibly impressive.
Rocky was also enveloped in the light, but it didn't look like he made any move to avoid it. All the spirit
manipulators thought that he might have died instantly.
However, to their surprise, a silhouette of a man slowly emerged from the light. A black spiritual
shadow shrouded his body, making him look like an evil king filled with an ominous aura determined to
conquer the world.
Erica was shocked to see that she still didn't stand a chance against Rocky, even when she used all
her strength. Determined, she was about to launch another attack when she found out she couldn't
budge an inch. It didn't take long for her to realize her entire body had been entangled in countless
spiritual threads.
"What the—?" Erica was stunned. She didn't even realize that Rocky had trapped her.
As she struggled against her tethers feebly, Rocky walked up to her. It was then that she realized the
spiritual threads came from his Hexagonal Netting Dragon Ring.
"If you don't want to be humiliated in front of so many people, just give up," Rocky said to Erica
seriously as he noticed that more and more onlookers had gathered.
"Fight with me seriously," Erica answered through gritted teeth. She wouldn't give up so easily.
"Well then, there is no need to discuss any further..." Rocky shrugged. Suddenly, he raced towards her.
"What are you planning on doing?" Erica's face changed when she saw that Rocky was closing in on
her.
"I'll give you one more chance." Rocky smiled wickedly. "Or else, you won't even be able to leave your
room!"
"Cut the crap!" Erica's eyes flashed with fear.
Hearing that, Rocky smiled. He was standing in front of her now. Gently, he raised Erica's chin and
stared at her sexy lips, an evil look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Erica knew what Rocky was planning to do. Her delicate face turned red and her slender,
pink lips pursed tightly. She would never let Rocky succeed.
However, to her surprise, Rocky suddenly raised his head to face the onlookers. "She can't move now.
If anyone wants to take the opportunity to kiss her, don't hesitate."
Chaos ensued. The spirit manipulators were in an uproar. When they saw that Rocky was being
serious, they exchanged excited glances and spared no time lining up behind him. None of them
wanted to let such a good opportunity slip away!
Erica was a little scared. She finally knew what Rocky was up to. If these shameless men kissed her,
she would never be able to show her face in the Magic Phoenix Empire afterwards!
"Alright already! I admit defeat. Ask these damned guys to leave!" Erica said huffily. She had no choice
but to surrender.
Despite that, the spirit manipulators still surged towards her.
Hearing Erica begging for mercy, Rocky smiled slightly. Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "All of
you, leave!"
All of a sudden, Rocky released an aura in all directions. Those spirit manipulators who were
unfortunate enough to have gotten close were sent flying backwards.
Grumbling, they got to their feet and dusted off their clothes.
"You brat, are you kidding us?" a spirit manipulator shouted angrily.
"Damn it! Let's teach him a lesson!" another spirit manipulator roared.
Rocky narrowed his eyes. Astonishing strength at the eighth grade of the Divine Stage instantly surged
from him, which shocked all the people around, including Erica.
"Oh, my God! The eighth grade of the Divine Stage!"
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"This kind of strength is unheard of in any empire."
In the blink of an eye, the anger of those spirit manipulators was replaced with astonishment and fear.
They had never expected that Rocky was so terrifyingly powerful.
"You have reached the eighth grade of the Divine Stage?" Erica asked, dumbfounded. Back in the
Witch Palace, his strength had been only at the second grade of the Divine Stage. But now he reached
the eighth grade.
"This is why I don't want to fight with you. I'm afraid it will hurt your self-esteem." Rocky chuckled softly.
It was not until then that Erica realized that Rocky didn't want to hurt her again.
Just then, her Spirit Possession had reached its limit, so the Glint Phoenix turned into a light, separated
from her body and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, Erica's knees buckled from underneath her and she was about to fall.
Seeing this, Rocky immediately stepped forward to catch her, which startled her. In her panic, she
wanted to push him away but before she could do that, she found herself pressing against him and her
lips touching his. It happened in a split second, but everyone present saw it.
Rocky was stunned, and Erica's cheeks burned red with shame. Obviously, neither of them had
expected this.
The spirit manipulators around were also shocked.
"He kissed Erica...!"
"Erica is my goddess. He has insulted my goddess in public!"
"How dare the damned guy take advantage of her?"
The spirit manipulators were seething with envy, glaring at Rocky with murderous eyes.
Rocky, on the other hand, didn't care about them at all. He gathered his spiritual power and took back
Robin. Then, he took off with Erica.
A moment later, they appeared in a garden in the royal palace.
"Can you let go of me now?" With Rocky's hands around her waist, Erica felt uncomfortably warm. So,
after they landed, she glared at Rocky angrily.
Rocky raised his eyebrows and smiled at her devilishly. Then, he let go of Erica.
Erica seemed to be a little embarrassed, so she left immediately, her lips tingling. She couldn't help
recalling what had happened just now, which made her heart beat faster and faster.
Watching her receding figure, Rocky shook his head. He knew that things wouldn't just come to an end
like this, so he figured he'd better go back to the Holy Dragon Empire after the end of the martial arts
contest.
However, it never occurred to him that his trip to the Magic Phoenix Empire would involve him in a
terrible crisis...
