"Where did this guy come from? Is he planning to confront the Ice Phoenix by himself? He must have a
death wish!"
"That's right! Did he not see that we were not able to break through its defenses even after joining
hands for a few hours? What makes him think that he can do anything alone?"
"This guy is a fool. That is the only explanation!"
The spirit warriors sneered at Rocky, thinking that he was just wasting his life.
At the same time, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Rocky approached the Ice Phoenix without a
hint of hesitation.
Seeing that Rocky was bravely rushing towards it, the Ice Phoenix was not too amused. It increased its
spiritual power and flapped its wings harshly. Then, an incomparably cold wind rushed out in an instant,
which was enough to freeze everything in the vicinity.
Meanwhile, as Rocky was in midair, he also felt that his speed had drastically slowed down under the
influence of the ice wind and cold air.
The next moment, he activated his Devilish Phantom Skill, creating several avatars. Then, the avatars
dispersed in different directions in order to distract the Ice Phoenix. This way, Rocky could find a
chance to break through. However, the Ice Phoenix seemed to be smarter than he expected. It was
completely unmoved and remained very calm.
'That's strange. This spiritual beast's power is not as strong as I initially thought. It seems that someone
just summoned it, ' Rocky thought to himself, furrowing his brows. Soon enough, he noticed that his
speculation was getting clearer, but he still continued to test it.
After about five minutes of being in a stalemate, Rocky found that although the Ice Phoenix wasn't that
strong, it didn't give him any chance to approach the divine treasure. Left with no choice, he eventually
returned to where Alex and Vivian were.
"Hey! Don't pull a stunt like that ever again!" Vivian yelled, pretending to scold Rocky.
After all, it was impossible for a Spiritual King to break through the defenses of a spiritual beast whose
strength was equal to a Spiritual Emperor at the peak stage. If Rocky didn't want his real strength to be
exposed, then he had no way of getting the divine treasure that easily.
"We can't just give up. Besides, I just tested out the strength of the Ice Phoenix. Based on what I
noticed, this spiritual beast should be a beast spirit that has been summoned," Rocky said with his
eyes lit up.
"It is a beast spirit?" Alex and Vivian could just look at each other after hearing what Rocky said.
"Yes. If I am not mistaken, this beast spirit must be summoned by the divine treasure. Hence, it seems
that the treasure must be really unusual after all." Rocky's eyes narrowed as he took a glance at the Ice
Phoenix again.
"Are you sure? That's amazing!" Vivian responded, though she had a lot of doubts at the back of her
mind. After all, if Rocky was indeed correct, the treasure that they were looking for was extremely
outstanding.
"Do you want to get a hold of this treasure?" Rocky turned to Alex and asked.
"Of course, I do. Obtaining it is the best that I could wish for. However, I am also sure that the risk is
just too huge. Thus, you can already forget it." Although Alex was obviously hopeful and tempted to
acquire the treasure, she still remained very rational.
"What are you talking about? As long as you want it, I'll be sure to get it for you," Rocky replied with a
confident smile.
Immediately after, he entered the palace with his mind and asked the guardian for a divine treasure that
could hide the user's aura. Upon having it, he quickly returned to reality.
"All right, this is what we're going to do. I will try my best to attract the attention of the spiritual beast. At
that time, Tripp, take Alex with you and go get the treasure in the beast's lair," Rocky instructed firmly.
"But how? The spiritual beast's Spiritual Domain is very large. I'm afraid that it will discover us right
away as soon as we get close to the lair," Vivian asked with a disapproving expression on her face.
"That's why you will need this. Use it, and you won't be discovered by the beast spirit." Then, Rocky
took out the magic treasure that he had taken from the palace and handed it over to Vivian. "This
treasure can easily hide your aura. However, you can only use it once. So, I trust that you can utilize it
at the perfect timing."
Rocky knew that since Vivian's strength was close to the God Realm, she could use an imitation of a
divine treasure without any problem.
"I see." Seeing that Rocky is very confident with his plan, Vivian didn't say anything more and just took
the divine treasure from him.
"Rookie, be very careful," Alex reminded, showing a very worried expression.
"Don't worry about me! Just focus on getting the treasure." Rocky smiled calmly as if the Ice Phoenix
was not a big threat.
Soon after, he rushed towards the vicious spiritual beast again. This time, it could be seen that he was
more serious. Of course, he had to. Otherwise, it would be difficult to suppress the Ice Phoenix.
"This guy is going at it again! Is he that desperate to get the treasure from the lair?"
"Who cares? It's not like he can succeed! He's just a mere Spiritual King. It doesn't really matter
whether he dies or not."
When the spirit warriors saw that Rocky was trying to confront the Ice Phoenix again, they also felt that
it was ridiculous. They could not help but think that he had gone insane.
When the Ice Phoenix saw that Rocky was rushing towards it again, it let out a furious roar and
released the cold wind once more.
This time, Rocky didn't bother to dodge. He remained still and engaged the cold wind.
"What the hell? Is he crazy? This guy is suicidal!" Seeing Rocky's odd action, the spirit warriors were
shocked and confused at the same time.
Of course, they didn't know what he was trying to accomplish at this moment. But in fact, Rocky's body
had already been surrounded by the fighting energy at the Mystery Stage, which could invisibly
eliminate the cold wind that was rushing towards him.
Therefore, when the cold wind reached Rocky, it instantly disappeared and left no injury to him at all.
With this, the eyes of spirit warriors widened as they were stunned from what they just witnessed.
"That's impossible! How could he resist the power equal to that of a Spiritual Emperor at the peak
stage? Isn't he just a Spiritual King at the primary stage?"
"Maybe he used some kind of a powerful treasure. But what kind of treasure can resist that kind of
attack? It should be pretty invaluable!"
"Then, who the hell is this guy? How can he possess such a precious treasure? Does anyone here
know who he is?"
For a moment, all the spirit warriors looked at each other, trying to figure out who Rocky was.
Meanwhile, just as the spirit warriors were still in a daze at Rocky's performance, no one noticed Vivian
and Alex. They had been well prepared, waiting for the perfect moment to use the treasure given by
Rocky. As Vivian raised the divine treasure, a strange light enveloped the two of them. From the
outside, it seemed that the two of them turned invisible, and no one would be able to detect them.
Wasting no time, the two girls rushed towards the ice tree just as Rocky instructed earlier.
On the other hand, because Rocky was able to somehow restrain the Ice Phoenix, the spirit warriors
thought they could take advantage of the moment.
Soon enough, several Spiritual Emperors at the medium stage and the premium stage started
encircling the Ice Phoenix in an attempt to bring it down.
However, the cold wind released by the Ice Phoenix got stronger and stronger. As Rocky realized that
the Spiritual Emperors were trying to take advantage of the situation, he had an idea and revealed a
cunning smile. The next moment, he suddenly ran backwards toward the Spiritual Emperors gathered
around.
When the Spiritual Emperors saw that Rocky was coming towards them together with the cold wind
from the Ice Phoenix, they were startled and started fleeing in all directions.
"Oh, forgive my carelessness!" Rocky shouted, obviously trying to piss them off.
Of course, the Spiritual Emperors knew what Rocky really wanted to do. Hence, they naturally became
angry with him, feeling humiliated at what just happened.
"Damn this guy! Why don't we join hands and teach him a lesson?" a very furious Spiritual Emperor at
the premium stage said through gritted teeth.
The other Spiritual Emperors nodded in agreement and wanted to get back at Rocky.
Before long, the Spiritual Emperors rushed towards Rocky, who was still resisting the cold force from
the Ice Phoenix.
Seeing that Rocky was actually caught up in such a passive position, they could not help but gloat.
They all thought that he deserved it.
However, Rocky just smiled carelessly. In an instant, he narrowed his eyes, unleashing several streams
of fighting energy at the Mystery Stage. They began surging towards the Spiritual Emperors behind
him, and one could just imagine what could happen next.
