A tiny dot of light swiftly bounced out when Vivian flicked her finger. It went undetected as it pierced
through the thunderous palm of her opponent, and then slammed right onto the chest of the low-level
Spiritual King.
Boom!
The next moment, the light dot exploded. A stream of power at the King Realm emanated, throwing the
low-level Spiritual King out. His body then hit the stone wall of the training ground before he passed
out.
Their battle had caused the other Spiritual Kings to drop their jaws in total shock. None of them could
grasp how Vivian made it happen.
"Wow, I didn't expect Tripp to be so powerful. That blow should at least be equal to that of a high-level
Spiritual King's—maybe even higher." Alex could not help but speculate about Vivian as she stood next
to Rocky.
Rocky, however, merely smiled. He was well aware that Vivian had not even begun to use her real
strength. She could definitely do far better than that.
The other Spiritual Kings now had some scruples about Vivian due to her amazing display of
performance. Despite this, however, they still refused to take her seriously.
They believed that what had just happened was merely a coincidence, so they wanted to have a go at
teaching her a lesson.
Not even an hour later, more than half of them who tried to fight Vivian had all been beaten to the
ground, including three medium-level Spiritual Kings.
Those who had not come up to fight her yet were now deeply confounded. Of course, none of them
had thought that Vivian was this powerful. It was also quite unknown to them how much stronger she
could get, since their strongest Spiritual Kings at the medium stage could not even withstand three
moves from her.
In the same way, Alex watched Vivian tackle the members of her clan in surprise. She felt that Vivian
had the aura that was way stronger than a normal warrior with a Heaven Stage spiritual root could
have.
She had questions in her heart, but she was wise enough to keep her countenance. She acknowledged
that everyone had their own secrets. After all, Vivian had just been admitted into their clan. Alex knew
that if she asked too much, they might easily fall into her disfavor.
"Anyone else who wants to challenge me?" Vivian asked coldly with a piercing glare as she scanned
the crowd of Spiritual Kings who had not faced her yet.
The Spiritual Kings could only exchange hesitant looks with each other. Obviously, they were trying to
avoid losing face in the public since it was now clear to them that Vivian could surely beat them.
Due to their reluctance to come up, an awkward atmosphere was created. Rocky then stepped forward
to break the ice. "Wow, Tripp! I didn't know you're so powerful! Good thing I didn't offend you in the past
two days, huh? Otherwise, I might've sported a swollen face since you can beat me hard."
To her annoyance, Vivian snorted and rolled her eyes at Rocky.
"Tripp, you seem to be at the premium stage of the King Realm at least. Oh my, it seems our clan has
finally been blessed with good luck!" Alex tried to contain her joy when she talked to Vivian.
She then turned to Rocky and said, "You can also go and spar with them, Rookie."
"Oh, no. I'd better not, young master. I'm sure I'm not even qualified to fight with these Spiritual Kings,"
Rocky quickly refused, pretending to be modest.
"It doesn't matter. I just need to know your strength," Alex insisted, nodding at Rocky to go ahead.
Rocky then chuckled and scratched his head as he said, "Well, then, sirs, please show me mercy."
Rocky cupped his hands to the Spiritual Kings before he walked to the center of the training ground.
It wasn't his intention to take this seriously. His agreement to fight these Spiritual Kings was just to
show respect to Alex.
He then looked around and made eye contact with the Spiritual Kings. He was feeling a little generous,
so he told them, "Here, I'd like to offer something. Anyone who can defeat me will obtain a spiritual
treasure from me."
"Ha! You're in no position to be so benevolent with your treasures when you seem to be at the primary
stage of the King Realm at most. But sure, let me take you up on that offer." A middle-level Spiritual
King that had never fought with Vivian jumped out upon hearing Rocky's proposal.
He was absolutely confident that he could beat the young man.
He then added, "How about we make it simple? I'll just stand here while you attack me however you
can. I won't move at all. Now, if you can make me take a step back within five minutes, you win." He
was so full of himself that he gave Rocky such a dangerous offer.
Meanwhile, Rocky simply smiled since he didn't appreciate the arrogance of this middle-level Spiritual
King. Originally, his plan was to pretend to be weak at first. However, if he showed them that he was
quite a loser, he would surely be looked down upon like how they did with Vivian. This time, he decided
to take things a bit seriously, just so he could take this chance to practice his fighting energy.
"Alright! Not a problem." Rocky grinned, almost looking smug.
As soon as Rocky agreed, the Spiritual King immediately released his spiritual power to protect himself.
Rocky, however, did not come charging at him. Instead, he walked leisurely towards the Spiritual King,
who was stunned and confused. He could not comprehend what Rocky was trying to do.
"Sir, there's some dirt on your clothes. Here, let me dust it off for you." Rocky stretched out his hand as
he spoke and directly patted the Spiritual King on the shoulder. At the same time, he activated his
fighting energy at the Mystery Stage, which condensed in his palm.
Slap!
In other people's eyes, Rocky was just being nice.
After all, the only thing they could see was that he was gently patting the dirt off his opponent's clothes.
But the next moment, the middle-level Spiritual King suddenly seemed in pain, with beads of sweat
slowly covering his brows. Soon, his face started twitching. He held his arm, and then took a few steps
back.
The other Spiritual Kings looked at each other with furrowed brows. They were confused about what
had happened all of a sudden.
"Sir, are you okay? What's wrong?" Rocky tried to sound as concerned as he could.
"It's n-nothing. I'm... fine. My arm just suddenly feels numb and heavy." Even the middle-level Spiritual
King was at a loss. He could not fathom why his arm felt broken when the young man merely patted
him on his shoulder.
"Oh no. Did I pat too hard?" Rocky asked deliberately.
"That's impossible. How could you have broken the spiritual power that was protecting my body? You're
weak!" The middle-level Spiritual King frantically shook his head. He would never admit that his arm
was almost disabled by a young man who just patted him on the shoulder. The thought of this news
spreading perturbed him, since he did not know how he could continue to live with pride in the
Wankong Clan.
"Oh, of course, you're right. Now, you'd better go and rest that arm!" Rocky urged considerately.
Without even starting the fight, the middle-level Spiritual King had no choice but to retreat.
Everything happened as though it was just a coincidence, so the other Spiritual Kings did not pay much
attention to it. One by one, they continued the fight.
Rocky competed with three other Spiritual Kings one after another, and all of them seemed to have
been suppressed. They all inexplicably felt their arms or legs hurt, so they also fell back.
Even Vivian who was watching the battle at the side couldn't stand it anymore. She thought that Rocky
was willfully mocking them with his stellar and artful performance. He seemed like a loser, yet no one
could get the upper hand from him.
Meanwhile, another Spiritual King came forward to compete with Rocky.
Rocky passively defended himself in the most tactical yet subtle way. No matter who his opponent was
and how hard he tried, he could not lay a finger on Rocky.
"Rookie may be a little weak, but it seems to me that he can defend himself quite well," Alex
commented while she stood next to Vivian.
"Oh, sure. That's all he can do," Vivian replied in a way that the young master would not notice she was
mocking Rocky.
The Spiritual King was getting aggravated that he could not get ahead of Rocky for once.
At the same time, he was so eager to get Rocky's spiritual treasures that a dark light flashed in his
eyes. Suddenly, a black shadow emerged under his sleeve and went straight for Rocky's neck.
With Rocky's strength, it was impossible for him not to notice that. He merely narrowed his eyes and
put his fingers together, instantly slashing out a stream of fighting energy that swiftly cut off the black
shadow.
