Due to the confusion in the results of the test, a Spiritual Emperor from the Di Clan came to check.
However, as he examined the spiritual ball, he announced afterward that there was no mistake in
Rocky's test result.
Upon hearing this, the spectators instantly burst into an uproar. It meant that Rocky was indeed far
powerful than they imagined.
At the same time, even though the recorder was still in disbelief, he had no choice but to record
Rocky's test result according to the original outcome.
After that, Rocky calmly walked out of the test area as if what happened was not a big deal.
Soon enough, Holden also rushed out of the place. When he saw Rocky outside, he didn't dare to
approach him or even talk to him. All he wanted was to leave that place as soon as possible. He was
already humiliated twice in a row, and he didn't want anything more to do with Rocky.
"Hey! Are you going to the next test area already? Why don't we go together?" Rocky called out to
Holden and offered.
"What? No. No. I've already finished the other tests," Holden answered as sweat trickled down his
forehead. Right now, he just wanted to get away from Rocky. He recognized that he shouldn't have
been too arrogant because Rocky might get back at him later on. After he firmly refused, he hurriedly
walked away.
"Ha-ha! Look at him go with his tail between his legs. He's like a scaredy-cat who doesn't know what to
do." Rocky shook his head and grinned at Holden's expression. Then, he continued walking towards
the next test area.
From his performances in the strength test and the spiritual power test, Rocky was able to earn a lot of
points. Hence, he decided to restrain himself a little in the next tests in order to avoid getting attention
from others. Otherwise, the Godly Geniuses, who had disguised themselves, might get suspicious of
him.
Then, after Rocky finished all the tests in the first round, he was able to rank around seventieth, which
was actually a better result than he expected.
In comparison to the other low-grade Spiritual Emperors, his overall performance was just average.
Among the high-ranking low-grade Spiritual Emperors, half of them were from the human race. In fact,
some of his friends and acquaintances such as Carla, Moore, and Eunice had exhibited extraordinary
performances. Of course, Valeria and Gloria also did very well. Surprisingly, Holden's rank after the first
round was even higher than Rocky's. But the one who got the most attention was Michelle Li, the
person who ranked first among the low-grade Spiritual Emperors. It was said that she was just a new
Spiritual Emperor who belonged to the Flying Feather Pavilion, a force that ranked third among the
Sovereign Sect. She was a beautiful woman and was even said to be a strong competitor of Lilith who
had just become the successor of the Sky-suppressing Mansion.
Since she ranked first, Michelle Li naturally attracted Rocky's attention. After all, a person as strong as
her would possibly be one of the Godly Geniuses that was just disguising as a human being.
Of course, the Spiritual Emperors at the middle-grade and high-grade were also on Rocky's watch list.
There was no doubt that they exhibited more astounding performances, and any one of them could
secretly be a Godly Genius.
At the same time, Rocky also paid more attention to Isabel. As an old acquaintance, Rocky deemed
that her performance was rather outstanding among the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors. He could
really understand why Alyssa valued her so much.
Since the tests in the first round were basically to examine the participants' strength, Rocky was not
able to find any significant clue about the other Godly Geniuses. Therefore, he just decided to
concentrate on preparing for the second round.
For the second round, the tests would include the limit test and the potential test.
The limit test would be carried out in an esoteric illusionary array called the Myriad Illusionary Array,
which was constructed by the Di Clan itself. Compared to the strength test in the first round, the limit
test would also require the participants' comprehensive ability and talent.
The following day, the limit test that was part of the second round already began.
However, since the strength of the participating Spiritual Emperors varied, the limit test was also
divided into three catalogs—the low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade.
For the low-grade Spiritual Emperors, they needed to go to the northwestern part of the Boundless
Manor because that was where their limit test would be held. Thus, early in the morning, several
contestants were already gathered in the area.
But in order to keep a low profile, Rocky decided to go and take the test in the afternoon.
However, when Rocky arrived at the test area, he saw that there were even more people watching than
in the first round. Hence, it did not really matter whether he went in the morning or the afternoon. After
all, the performance of the participants in the second round would determine if they would be qualified
to enter the third round. Of course, the people would not dare to miss it.
Unfortunately, unlike the tests in the first round, the limit test could not be viewed directly. In fact, the
spectators could only know how the participants were doing through the progress cards that were
placed at the center of the area.
When Rocky arrived, many Spiritual Emperors were already doing the test and fighting with all their
might inside the Myriad Illusionary Array.
Before registering, Rocky went to check the progress cards first to see how everyone was doing.
There, he saw the cards of his friends, including Eunice, Carla, and Moore.
"That is Moore from the Sky-suppressing Mansion, right? I heard that his strength is considered the
strongest among his peers."
"Well, he has already reached the thirtieth pass, so it must be true."
"You should also pay attention to Carla! As the daughter of the Yu Clan, she is doing very well. She is
currently challenging the twenty-fifth pass."
"Don't forget Eunice from the Di Clan! She has also reached the twenty-fourth pass right now!"
Suddenly, another progress card was hung up.
"That's Seth Ling! He is the young master of the Myriad Spiritual Hall, a famous force in the spiritual
race. I heard that he's just a new Spiritual Emperor, but he has already reached the thirty-first pass,
overtaking Moore!"
Immediately after, another progress card showing that another one had reached the thirtieth pass
appeared.
"That's Barron! He is also one of the most famous new Spiritual Emperors from the spiritual race!"
"I guess this is also a competition between the human race and the spiritual race, huh?"
"Yes! That makes it even more exciting! These low-grade Spiritual Emperors are actually the most
popular personalities right now in the human race and the spiritual race. They are making a name for
themselves this early, so they will inevitably become the big shots in the future. Right now, it is even
more fun to watch because they are almost equally powerful in terms of strength!"
"That's right! I wonder who will emerge as the strongest one among them."
As Rocky passed through the crowd, he could not help but murmur to himself, "I really thought that
there would be less people participating in the afternoon. It turns out that I was wrong. Moreover, there
are lots of people that I know." He slightly shook his head and let out a bitter smile upon seeing the
situation. But since he was already here, he eventually went to register and took the test.
The test was done simultaneously, so Rocky did not wait for too long before he could enter the Myriad
Illusionary Array. Hence, upon registration, he directly entered the test area and was guided by a
Spiritual Emperor from the Di Clan.
Then, as soon as he entered the array, a lifelike phantom appeared in front of him, which seemed to be
emitting the strength of a low-grade Spiritual Emperor.
"All right. Let's do some warm-ups!" Rocky uttered with a relaxed expression on his face. Eventually, he
released his spiritual power and directly confronted the enemy in front of him.
The Myriad Illusionary Array would automatically adjust depending on the strength of the participant.
Thus, if a low-grade Spiritual Emperor entered it, the opponents and obstacles would also be adjusted
accordingly.
However, as one advanced to the higher passes, he would start to encounter stronger enemies. This
would begin after going through the tenth pass. In other words, every ten passes, the degree of
difficulty would also rise. Normally, the limit for an ordinary low-grade Spiritual Emperor would be fifty
passes. After the fiftieth pass, the opponents inside the array would resemble the strength of a middle-
grade Spiritual Emperor. That was why it was already hard to overcome it after the fiftieth pass.
The first twenty passes were relatively easy for Rocky. With his current strength, he felt like he just did
some exercises. However, the real challenge was that the Myriad Illusionary Array had a time limit for
defeating an opponent. Therefore, if one could not defeat his opponent within the prescribed time, it
would cause him to fail the test.
In just two hours, Rocky had easily finished the first twenty passes. After that, the opponents' strength
had drastically increased.
Fortunately for Rocky, his strength was far above the limits of the low grade, so he had no problem in
continuing the test.
Then, about another two hours later, Rocky was also able to finish the thirtieth pass. Hence, this
appeared on his progress card that could be viewed by the audience. Immediately after, it caused a
massive uproar.
"Hey! Check this out! Another low-grade Spiritual Emperor has surpassed the thirtieth pass!"
"But who is that guy? I don't think I've seen him before!"
"I only heard of him in this contest. They said that he has set a new record in the strength test back in
the first round."
"Really? But how come this is the first time we've heard of him?"
