After sorting the herbs, Rocky found that it was still early and planned to find a spot where he could
exercise his physical body. So, he quickly put on his disguise and left the Ghost Palace.
Of course, Rocky didn't intend to go that far, and he just wanted a place where no one could bother
him. Hence, he went to the crescent-shaped lake not far from the Ghost Palace. There was a clearing
that had a diameter of about a hundred meters near the lake, and no one normally came there. Thus, it
was the perfect spot for him to train.
As soon as he arrived, he took off his coat, revealing his strong upper body. Then, he sat beside the
lake and began to meditate.
Currently, his cultivation was divided into two main types—the outer and inner cultivation. The outer
cultivation was used to cultivate the Flaming Ogre Formula, while the inner cultivation was used as a
meditative one. For now, he cultivated in the world of the Scarlet Heaven Jade.
Previously, the Scarlet Heaven Jade could materialize itself, so he could cultivate with just his spiritual
sense. However, after it was integrated into his body, the martial spirits' memories stored in it were also
integrated into his memory. Therefore, in order not to mix the two kinds of memories, the memory
stored in the Scarlet Heaven Jade was hidden in the deepest part of his subconscious, and only when
he entered the meditative state could he reach it.
Actually, it took him three months just to figure out this method.
Therefore, after entering the state of meditating cultivation, he was able to once again enter the world
of the Scarlet Heaven Jade.
Just like before, inside the Scarlet Heaven Jade, he began to fight with one of the martial spirits that
were sealed inside the spirit tablets to absorb its combat experience and skills.
When Rocky entered the state of meditating cultivation, his body would also move as he battled the
masters inside the Scarlet Heaven Jade. This was why he needed to find a remote place outside the
Ghost Palace.
Soon enough, Rocky, who had been sitting still beside the lake, started to move as the battle began.
He strode forward and backward freely, and every action he took was neat and efficient. If others saw
him, they would think that he was just fighting an imaginary opponent, but in reality, he was really
fighting with a master.
Meanwhile, a girl's voice could be heard not far from where Rocky was training. "The leader's mansion
is so big that I accidentally got lost. Well, I'm bored anyway, so I may as well walk around."
Not long after, a beautiful figure in a yellow dress and a thin veil came out from the bushes on the other
side of the area. She was none other than Valeria, the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief.
After spending some time in the Fragrance Palace, Valeria thought of walking around to let the time
pass. However, she did not expect that she would be lost. Then, she happened to stumble upon the
area near the Ghost Palace where Rocky was training and cultivating. Because Rocky's upper body
was naked, she was taken aback that she immediately averted her gaze and let out an embarrassed
shriek. As her face blushed, she yelled, "You, jerk!"
However, since Rocky was in the state of meditating cultivation, he did not pay attention to her and kept
on immersing himself in the battle.
Seeing that Rocky deliberately ignore her, Valeria could not help but become more irritated. After all,
she was the Godly Genius of the Flower Fief, and every person that she met instantly admired her.
Even though she was in the Ghost Fief right now, all of the people of the Shura Race who saw her also
treated her with respect. Rocky was the only one who ignored her, so she felt very uncomfortable.
At the same time, Rocky's every move just became a provocation to her.
"You are one arrogant guy. Let me teach you a lesson!" As a cultivator at the Emperor Realm, Valeria
could be rather proud. Moreover, seeing that Rocky did not respond to her at all, she became so angry
that she couldn't help but rush to him.
Then, as soon as she made her move, several flowers suddenly emerged and darted towards Rocky
as if forming two spiritual snakes.
Although Rocky was still immersed in the state of meditating, his body obviously felt the spiritual power
aimed at him. At the same time, his spiritual sense in the Scarlet Heaven Jade also sensed the
incoming danger. At this moment, the martial spirit that he had been fighting instantly transformed into
what seemed to be Valeria's moves.
Because of this, Rocky felt rather strange that the martial spirit suddenly changed its movements, but
he didn't mind it. Seeing that the flowers around its arms spread out and were about to bolt towards
him, he immediately launched a counterattack. A spiritual energy wave burst out from his body that
instantly dispersed the gushing flowers.
At the same time, Valeria was quite staggered. She thought that she could easily bring Rocky down,
but she didn't expect that her attack would be easily resisted. What was more surprising was that
Rocky's spiritual power was not even at the Emperor Realm. However, the timing of his attack was so
accurate that it effortlessly overcame hers.
Consequently, Valeria became more competitive. She could not accept that she would lose to someone
whose strength was not even at the Emperor Realm. Therefore, her spiritual power eventually
increased. In an instant, an aura at the Emperor Realm filled the air, and it seemed like she was about
to take things seriously.
At this time, Valeria's sudden increase in strength made Rocky wary. Even if he was in the state of
meditation, he could feel that something was definitely out of place. However, before he could react,
Valeria had already launched an attack. This time, she used her full strength.
In the blink of an eye, a stream of flowers, like a rampaging flood dragon that rose from the sea, rushed
out from Valeria's arms and surged directly towards Rocky.
Fortunately, Rocky could quickly summon the Magic Icy Armor to protect himself.
Boom!
In a flash, the stream of flowers that was formed from Valeria's intense spiritual power collided with the
Magic Icy Armor. However, it instantly dispersed the moment it clashed with the armor, causing no
harm to Rocky.
Seeing this, Valeria was stunned. She had already attacked Rocky using her full strength, but it was
also completely blocked off.
While the flowers were repelled, they did not fully dissipate. Hence, Valeria acted quickly and decided
to approach Rocky, intending to give him a blow from up close.
However, Valeria did not know that the Magic Icy Armor could not only resist powerful attacks but also
launch a counterattack whenever an opponent got close to its bearer.
Therefore, as soon as Valeria closed her gap to Rocky, the Magic Icy Armor suddenly emitted a
dazzling spiritual light. Caught off guard, she felt that a spiritual power at the Emperor Realm was about
to consume her. Her face turned pale and she tried to raise her spiritual power to the limit in order to
protect her.
The very next moment, the two spiritual powers at the Emperor Realm collided, causing a massive
spiritual wave that violently shook all the nearby plants and trees. Even the lake trembled, and the
water in it splashed out.
Although Valeria managed to block the counterattack from the Magic Icy Armor in time, she was still
shaken up. The veil on her face was also blown away, and a trace of blood dripped from the corner of
her mouth. She tried to gasp for breath as she felt a bit stuffy in her chest.
At this time, Rocky also withdrew from the state of meditation. As his sight returned to normal, he was a
bit surprised to see a girl in front of him. She looked extraordinary, elegant, and beautiful. At first
glance, she could be mistaken as a human. However, the color of her eyes and the shape of her ears
were definitely not of a human.
Upon closer inspection, Rocky noticed that the girl was well-dressed, and her strength was at the
Emperor Realm. Moreover, there was a pattern of colorful feathers embroidered on her sleeves. He
had never seen this in the Ghost Fief, so he assumed that she was from another fief and that she had a
strong background.
"Little girl, are you the one who attacked me just now?" Rocky asked as if he was someone much older
than her. Valeria indeed had a petite figure and was only eighteen years old, so she really gave a vibe
that she was very young.
"Did you just call me a little girl? Don't talk nonsense!" Valeria hated it the most when she was treated
like a little girl.
