Of course, not only Michelle was interested in recruiting Rocky, but Lilith and Carla also had this idea.
"Eunice, you have been with Basil for quite a long time. What do you think the limitation of his strength
is?" Carla asked out of curiosity. It seemed that she really wanted to know how strong Rocky was.
"Hmm. That is difficult to answer. I don't know the exact extent of his strength, but I believe that he will
definitely win this battle. I can only say that I am indeed jealous of that guy. When he suddenly
reappeared after vanishing for a long time, his strength had reached such an astonishing level. It really
makes me wonder what kind of adventures he'd encountered to get to this level." Even Eunice did not
know what Rocky had experienced when he was in the Shura Race, so she was curious to know those
things as well.
"I see. Now, I am more intrigued than ever!" Lilith exclaimed with an enthusiastic smile on her face.
At the same time, Eunice and Carla glanced at each other, understanding what Lilith was feeling.
Meanwhile, Rocky and Quentin had already released their Spiritual Domains to the extreme, displaying
a confrontation that gauged the limitation of the strength of both sides.
After seeing that the power of his Spiritual Domain alone was not enough to suppress Rocky, Quentin,
who was still floating in midair, condensed the spiritual light in his hand. Then, the next moment, a
claw-shaped weapon appeared in his hand. It shone with a faint evil light, emitting a strong demonic
spiritual power. Judging from its aura, the weapon should be at least a holy treasure.
'Is that the Spectral King Claw? That's one of the secret treasures of the Purgatory Fief! It is said that it
could summon the Spectral King, whose strength is equivalent to a Spiritual Emperor at the peak
stage, to help its master. Moreover, the summoner does not require to have a certain level of strength.
As long as they has enough spiritual power, they can utilize it at any time. This is absurd. Who would
have thought that the Purgatory Fief will give Quentin this secret weapon just so he can win the
Spiritual Emperor Contest?' At this moment, the other Godly Geniuses, who were watching the battle
from the sidelines, recognized the holy treasure that Quentin was holding.
However, since the members of the human race and the spiritual race did not know how powerful the
Spectral King Claw was, they only thought that it was some kind of a unique spiritual treasure.
Then, the next moment, Quentin used the Spectral King Claw to cut through the air, making a huge gap
in midair. Soon enough, two huge claws crawled out from the gap and tore it apart. Eventually, a
dreadful ghost with a terrifyingly malicious aura all over its body emerged from the gap and let out a
deafening roar.
Upon hearing this, the people surrounding the battlefield could not help but tremble in fear. No one
thought that the holy treasure that Quentin possessed could summon such a horrifying and malevolent
creature that was neither human nor beast.
Worse, this monster actually exuded an aura equivalent to a Spiritual Emperor at the peak stage. It was
known that the peak stage was extremely rare to be achieved by the members of the human race and
the spiritual race. Hence, it was inconceivable that Quentin could summon a monster that was even
stronger than him—a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor.
Right now, in the eyes of the spectators, there was no way Rocky could defeat both Quentin and the
ferocious creature that he summoned.
They grew worried about Rocky, thinking that his life was in grave danger.
In fact, even Eunice and the two women, who were confident in Rocky's chances of winning the battle
earlier, were now very nervous.
The only one who remained calm despite all of this was Rocky himself. After all, he was already at the
Shura Realm. Even though the monster in front of him possessed astonishing strength, he could still
obliterate it without using too much effort.
At this time, the Spectral King had fully emerged from the gap that Quentin made. It seemed that its
body was more than ten meters high. It was a giant that exuded an overbearing aura, which could
easily send shivers down the spine of anyone who saw it.
"Attack that bastard! Tear him to pieces!" Without wasting any time, Quentin ordered the Spectral King
to attack Rocky.
Hearing this, the Spectral King instantly pounced on Rocky, baring its sharp teeth and claws. Then its
huge arms swung with incredible momentum, attempting to grab Rocky and immobilize him.
"This monster's strength is indeed fascinating. I can perceive that it is really on par with a Spiritual
Emperor at the peak stage." Seeing that the monster was quickly rushing towards him, Rocky deemed
that he could not hold back his strength anymore. If he continued to play it safe, he would not be able
to defeat Quentin and the Spectral King.
Hence, the next moment, his expression changed, and a stream of powerful spiritual power instantly
surged out. Then, his aura broke through the premium stage.
"I told you! He is already at the premium stage!"
Rocky had only been releasing his strength equivalent to the medium stage of a Spiritual Emperor.
Thus, when the people clearly felt the aura at the premium stage coming from him, they were actually
surprised. It was his first time unleashing such a tremendous amount of spiritual power in front of the
onlookers.
Then, just as everyone was still in a daze, Rocky's aura suddenly spread out, enveloping his body with
a dazzling spiritual light. It was very pleasant to the eye compared to the demonic aura of the Spectral
King.
Moreover, Rocky's powerful aura continued to gush in every direction, filling up the place and almost
engulfing the aura of the Spectral King.
"Wait a minute! This isn't just an aura of a Spiritual Emperor at the premium stage! Basil is already at
the peak stage!"
"What the hell? That is impossible! Who is this person?!"
"If I did not know that he is from the human race, I will not think that he is one! How can this happen?!"
Obviously, everyone present was in utter disbelief. They could not believe what was happening in front
of their own eyes.
In fact, even the most powerful masters of the human race and the spiritual race, as well as the Godly
Geniuses watching the battle, could just open their eyes wide in shock. Israel, who had been watching
expressionlessly all this time, let out a frown as his face darkened. He could not help but become a bit
hostile as if he sensed a serious threat.
Then, just as Rocky unleashed his strength at the peak stage, a sword bolted out from the sky. Its
momentum was extremely appalling that even the space where it passed by became distorted.
"God-killing Sword!" Rocky said, summoning the powerful weapon with an overwhelming aura. Then,
the next moment, the sword turned into a dazzling beam of light that rushed out in an instant. Its
movement was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of the Spectral King.
"What kind of spiritual skill is this? I have never seen anything like it! It seems normal, but you can tell
that it contains endless amount of power!" Everyone's mouth was left hanging, and they were not able
to fully understand how Rocky could pull this off. His spiritual skill had already reached an amazing
level that was beyond their knowledge and imagination.
At the same time, when Quentin saw how Rocky's strength suddenly soared to an unimaginable height,
his face turned rather grim. All the while, he thought that he had already ensured his victory after
summoning the Spectral King. However, never did he expect that Rocky's strength was even above
his.
But of course, this was not enough to make him give up. Upon regaining his composure, Quentin
ordered the Spectral King to confront Rocky head-on. However, the God-killing Sword had already
approached the Spectral King.
Even before the Spectral King could rush towards Rocky, the God-killing Sword already collided with it.
The massive impact of spiritual power reverberated mightily, sending backlashes of spiritual power that
spread out in an instant. Consequently, the entire square of the Boundless Manor trembled violently.
"Such an incredible power! Basil will have no problem winning if this continues!" Lilith exclaimed,
deeply satisfied with the turn of events.
"Maybe Rocky is just starting," Eunice murmured to herself. After knowing Rocky for quite a while, she
knew that he would not reveal the extent of his strength until the last moment. When it was already the
most critical moment, Rocky would almost always do the unexpected.
"Heavens! This is so thrilling. I just want to know who will win in the end." Of course, Gloria was full of
expectations that Basil would win. After all, she did not want Quentin or Israel to win the
competition.
