'This man said that the Cloud Sword has a special feature that allows it to sense the spiritual power
released by any spirit warrior with excellent swordsmanship aptitude. If I am really talented in this
aspect, then maybe I can make the sword respond without really exposing my true strength. What am I
waiting for anyway? I'll try this out and see if it works,' Rocky wondered as the idea struck his mind.
With great determination, he took a deep breath and then closed his eyes. He was aware that if he
wanted the Cloud Sword to react, he had to release the spiritual aura that could only be sensed by the
sword. Without hesitation, he began to release his spiritual aura slowly.
At that moment, the whole training ground seemed to have instantly quieted down, with only the sound
of the breeze to be heard. Then, with a light sound, the Cloud Sword behind Eugene began to move
out of the blue.
Without a doubt, this stunned everyone around. However, they took it lightly, for they thought that it was
only an accident. But the truth was that it was Rocky who was making this happen.
Clang! Not long after, another sound was heard.
Only this time, everyone did not think that it was a coincidence anymore.
At that moment, the Cloud Sword behind Eugene began to stir violently, as if it was about to take off at
any second.
Without a doubt, both Tessa and Eugene were beyond surprised at the turn of events that were
happening in front of them.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Sword began to finally break out of its scabbard.
At that moment, something more unexpected occurred. The spiritual swords behind the disciples of the
Sword Spirit Sect, who had just passed by the training ground, also flew out instantly, quickly flying
towards the training ground. In the blink of an eye, dozens of spiritual swords had already gathered
above Rocky's head.
Clang!
Finally, the Cloud Sword was unsheathed, shocking the whole audience.
Without a doubt, such an unexpected event stunned everyone around!
'What? How could this be? How could all the spiritual swords respond to him? This is crazy! He must
be so talented in this aspect!' Eugene wondered as his eyes widened in great shock.
Tessa, on the other hand, was also stunned to see this. She didn't expect that Rocky's talent in
swordsmanship could be this spectacular.
But as soon as Rocky realized that he was going too far, he immediately withdrew his spiritual power.
At the same time, the spiritual swords above his head fell down consecutively, creating loud, annoying
sounds of clashing metal.
"Well, I think that's all I can do," Rocky told Eugene calmly, cupping his hands in respect.
"So, are we cool now?" Tessa asked as she looked at Eugene eagerly.
"I guess that will do for now. Later, I'll declare him as the new disciple. Starting today, he'll be the
trainee disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect. But it doesn't end there. He still needs to pass the examination
which will happen next month before he can be an official disciple. So, don't get too excited now,"
Eugene explained.
"Oh, I see," Rocky replied with a little shrug.
"Well, I'm leaving now. If you have anything you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask Eugene
directly," Tessa told Rocky. Now that he had successfully become a disciple of the sect, she gave him a
warm smile. In fact, this smile of relief immediately made all the disciples in the area feel so
comfortable as if a gentle breeze had swept through. After her voice trailed off, she waved her hand
and left the premises, leaving behind a trail of her unique fragrance.
"You. Take your place in the line," Eugene ordered Rocky.
Without saying a word, Rocky immediately stood at the end of the line.
Despite being newcomers, these newly recruited disciples had a lot of potential and were talented
disciples recommended by some small sects. With that being said, most of them were already at the
second or third grade of the Spirit Realm, with the strongest disciple being at the fourth grade. As a
result, all of them were treated differently from one another.
On the other hand, even though Rocky had made a splash just now, he still looked like a country
bumpkin, so he was still looked down upon by the people around him.
But this did not weaken Rocky's spirit. The most important thing for him at that time was to be an
accomplished official disciple within a month so that he would have the chance to participate in the
competition for the qualification to enter the Martial Spirit Graveyard.
The beginners only had one month to receive special training, and then afterwards, they must take part
in the examination to become formal disciples. In fact, there was no doubt that these beginners were
very industrious and active. Soon after receiving Eugene's guidance and direction, they began to
discuss and even compete in different groups.
Meanwhile, Rocky found a nice and cool place to rest. But somehow, he had enjoyed it so much that
he had fallen asleep at once.
It was not long after when he felt that a pair of piercing eyes were staring at him. Intrigued, he opened
and squinted his eyes slightly and saw that the sharp eyes belonged to Ramon.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Li?" Rocky stood up and shouted.
"What are you doing here?" Ramon asked, squinting his eyes as he was becoming more and more
suspicious.
"I am here because I'm already a trainee disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect," Rocky answered plainly.
"Huh? When did you become a trainee disciple?" Taken aback, Ramon was stunned to hear his
answer.
"Oh, not too long ago, I suppose. In fact, I just passed the examination for beginners," Rocky replied
with a proud smile.
"That can't be. The recruitment of the disciples should have ended three days ago." At that moment,
Ramon felt that something was not right.
"Oh, that. They said that one of the disciples suddenly quitted, so, I got a place and Tessa helped me to
get it," Rocky answered.
"Nonsense!" Ramon shouted gloomily.
"Captain Li, it's no secret that you don't like me. But I just want to say that I'm a good man," Rocky
explained his side. He knew that Ramon was still suspecting him.
"From my experience, it is people who claim themselves to be good are the ones who may not be
telling the whole truth," Ramon said with confidence. Obviously, he still did not trust Rocky.
"I know that I can't change your mind no matter what I say. But I don't think it matters anyway at this
point. All I know is that you have a secret," Rocky said, squinting his eyes in distrust.
"What are you trying to say?" Ramon frowned upon hearing his words.
"I know about your little crush on Miss Hannah," Rocky whispered to Ramon's ear after leaning closer
to him.
"What? What is this nonsense?" Ramon's body trembled, and his expression changed. He retaliated
and scolded Rocky in a hurry, but it just looked like he was trying to hide something that was already so
obvious.
"Stop denying it. I can see through that. It's normal for men to fall in love with women! Come on, don't
be shy. How about this? I'll teach you how to chase after her, and we'll shake hands and make friends."
Rocky suggested with a smile of a sport.
"If you don't shut that senseless mouth of yours, I will kill you with my bare hands!" Ramon, however,
merely glared at him and then left.
"What an indecisive man! He doesn't even have the courage to express his feelings for her. So what if
Hannah is a noble lady? I have even dated a princess!" Rocky shook his head.
Meanwhile, after the morning training, Rocky went back to the beast farm to work. In truth, now that he
was a trainee disciple of the Sword Spirit City, he didn't have to work in the beast farm anymore.
However, he still needed to use the spiritual beasts in the beast farm for research and analysis.
A few days later, Nightshade's wounds were visibly healing, so Rocky didn't need to change its
dressing. Still, he went to the Fragrance Pavilion every day to check its body personally. At the same
time, he continued to deepen his relationship with Tessa.
Although Hannah had told Tessa to forbid Rocky from coming there once Nightshade got better, Tessa
didn't take her words seriously. Instead, she kept a close relationship with Rocky, which also caused a
lot of rumors to spread around in the Sword Spirit City.
It had been more than half a month since Rocky's arrival at the Sword Spirit Sect. During the past half
a month, he spent the rest of his time studying the genome of the spiritual beasts on the Supreme
Ether Land after he finished his visit at the Fragrance Pavilion and doing daily morning exercises. In the
lab, he planned to cultivate and produce a super spiritual beast that combined the characters of Uriah
and Ken through asexual reproduction after decoding the genome of the spiritual beasts on the
Supreme Ether Land.
After half a month's effort and research, he was nearly done decoding the genome of the spiritual
beasts in this world As a result, he could now begin to execute the asexual reproduction
experiment.
