Two hours later, Ramon was surprised by what he discovered. Nearly all of the members of the
Cloudlet Team he sent earlier were annihilated, and only one member was left standing—Rocky. Yet,
the Wolf Team had three members left.
"How on earth did Wolf Team's strength reach this level? Unbelievable!" an agitated Ramon exclaimed,
unable to take in everything all at once.
"Ha-ha! Thank you for kindly letting me win, Captain Ramon!" Xavier was quite pleased with the recent
turn of events, especially as his purpose was to intentionally embarrass the Cloudlet Team to prove that
the Wolf Team was the strongest guard team in the Sword Spirit City.
"Just surrender once you step onto the field," Ramon advised Rocky bitterly. Despite Rocky's
impressive strength, he was doubtful that they could turn the tide to their favor. So he decided to raise
the white flag.
"That'll be for me to decide," Rocky replied with a grin as he made his way to the field.
He was facing an opponent at the fourth grade of the Spirit Realm. This was already quite an
impressive level among the disciples of the Sword Spirit City.
"I think it's time you get on your knees and beg for mercy, brat! Otherwise, you'll have no one to turn to
for help later," the member of the Wolf Team threatened arrogantly.
"Alright. Come over here and I'll beg you for mercy!" Rocky called out and waved his hand, a sly smile
on his face.
The member cooperated and soon he darted forward to Rocky's side.
"Good boy! What an obedient mongrel you are!" Rocky mocked him with that mischievous grin that
never left his face.
The members of the Cloudlet Team immediately burst into delightful laughter.
"Cut the crap! Beat him to death!" an impatient Xavier ordered with twitched eyes.
"Your captain's furious. We better get this show started!" Rocky urged.
"You're no match for my strength. I'll destroy you with a single finger!" the member of the Wolf Team
shouted back.
By then, Rocky's eyes widened. The spiritual sword behind him was instantly unsheathed and then
disappeared without a trace.
"Is that…the invisible sword?"
"No way! Only warriors who are at the Spirit Realm's fourth grade and with a middle-grade sword skill
can learn how to wield it, right?"
"He's still a basic disciple. He hasn't even dipped his toes into the first grade yet."
To everyone's astonishment, the member of the Wolf Team that stood in front of Rocky was suddenly
knocked out by Rocky's spiritual sword out of nowhere. He flew through the air and was bashed
against the stone wall as his limp body sunk to the ground.
Everyone watching was dumbfounded. They never expected Rocky could defeat someone who had
just beat several powerful disciples of the Cloudlet Team.
"That was amazing, Basil!"
"You're our hero!"
"We love you!"
Several members of the Cloudlet Team loudly cheered, excited by the example Rocky had just made
out of their enemy.
On the other side of the field, the eyes of both Xavier and the other members of the Wolf Team
widened in surprise. They then glared fiercely at Rocky.
"It was an accident, I swear!" Rocky pretended to be modest.
"Captain Ramon, I never expected Basil to possess such an exceptional hidden talent!" Xavier realized
that what Rocky did was by no means an accident. However, he was unaware why Rocky was able to
perform that middle-grade sword skill even with a weak spiritual aura despite not being at the fourth
grade of the Spirit Realm.
"You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Your team member was just too careless. With Basil's
strength, he'd be unable to perform such an action." Ramon tried to reason out with an excuse.
"Well, it seems Captain Ramon has figured it all out. However, he won't be so lucky next time." Xavier
too came up with an excuse to avoid embarrassment. He then hinted at one of the other members of
the Wolf Team who had yet to play.
With a knowing nod, the member walked onto the field before immediately sprinting towards Rocky at
tremendous speed. He had no intention of giving him a second to breathe. Then, he unsheathed the
spiritual sword behind him and attacked Rocky. He appeared to be one with his sword in the attack—
abrupt and unexpected.
With a clear understanding, Rocky simply narrowed his eyes and did nothing.
When everyone on Ramon's team expected Rocky to brandish the skill he used once more, he
suddenly withdrew his spiritual sword with his hand and thrust it into his opponent.
"Does he think he's too good to attack with a sword? There's no way he'll be able to match his
opponent's blow, right?" By then, the crowd was in an uproar.
Rocky's opponent from the Wolf Team was quite skilled in terms of speed. If he couldn't catch up with
his opponent, he'd surely find himself in a stalemate. Moreover, the swordsmanship of someone from
Sword Spirit City was based on the level of power displayed by the sword. If Rocky were to wield one,
then it wouldn't be able to exhibit much power at all.
Or so the onlookers thought. Unbeknownst to them, Rocky was a human from another land. Although
the Wild Spirit Land's power was nowhere near that of the Supreme Ether Land, the former land's
spiritual skill came with its unique advantages.
Once Rocky and the Wolf Team's representative faced each other, the latter's spiritual sword began to
split into three sword shadows.
"Three sword shadows! And it is also a middle-grade sword skill!"
In the blink of an eye, the three sword shadows began to charge at Rocky from different angles. They
were closing in on him, leaving him with no room to dodge. But then, Rocky suddenly split into three as
well, turning into three shadows all at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
These shadows immediately collided with each other, which resulted in three deafening bangs upon
impact.
Clouds of dust immediately rose and mighty spiritual power surged everywhere as far as the eye could
see.
Just when everyone thought that Rocky's luck had run out, a flash appeared. Once the blinding light
died down, a spiritual sword appeared under the neck of the Wolf Team's member who had yet to
regain his strength. Rocky had unexpectedly appeared behind him as well.
"No way! How did he do that?"
The crowd was once again thrown into chaos. No one saw or knew how Rocky managed to accomplish
that. Not even Ramon or Xavier could figure out a reason.
Xavier was furious. He never expected Rocky to defeat both Wolf Team members in a second.
"Thank you for the sweet victory!" Rocky exclaimed in gratitude as he sheathed his sword and walked
back to his original position from earlier.
Realizing that defeat was inevitable, the member of the Wolf Team bowed his head and unwillingly
returned to where his team stood.
"Cory, go. It's your turn," Xavier commanded a man who wore a white robe and had yet to step onto the
arena as he made a slicing gesture across his neck.
Cory was a remarkably powerful member of the Wolf Team. He was already at the fifth grade of the
Spirit Realm and was rumored to be next in line for deputy captain of the Wolf Team.
Cory immediately nodded with a sinister smile. He had been previously humiliated by Rocky the last
time they were face to face. Now that he had an opportunity to crush him to the ground, he definitely
wouldn't waste it.
