"It's actually a good sword, but I think it's a little heavy and difficult to control. But for the time being, I guess this will make do," Rocky murmured to himself as he swung the sword a few times. Then, he made a scabbard for the sword with the most flexible and durable diabolic beast's skin that he found. Since he had no idea what was the original name of the sword, he decided to name it the Mystical Dragon Sword.
After putting the sword back into the scabbard that he just made, Rocky left his Magic Spiritual Space promptly.
It was almost daybreak when he went back to the cave. Seeing that Ramon and Tessa had already recovered their physical and spiritual power, he quickly said, "Guys, let's go! Today's goal is to slay forty beasts!"
"What? Forty? Did you forget how hard it was to kill thirty yesterday?" Ramon and Tessa were stunned upon hearing Rocky's words, knowing that he was really serious.
"We can do it! All of us need to improve, so it is better to set our goals higher." With a bright smile on his face, Rocky gestured at them to come out of the cave and start their busy day.
Ramon and Tessa reluctantly got up and weren't able to say anything else as they saw Rocky's receding figure.
The day quickly passed, and somehow, they managed to finish the tough task of slaying forty beasts. However, the following day, Rocky increased their target again by ten.
A few days passed and they continued increasing their targets by increments of ten.
When their daily goal had reached a hundred, about half a month had already passed.
Despite the grueling task that they had to endure every day, the effect on them seemed really visible. Especially for Ramon and Tessa, they improved by leaps and made amazing progress in terms of endurance when it came to both using their physical and spiritual power. Moreover, the strength of their Spiritual Infants was also greatly enhanced.
Just as the three of them returned to the Sword Spirit City, the competition for the position of the Security Hall leader was already in full swing.
At that moment, a large battle ring with a diameter of several hundred meters had been set up in the training field within the Sword Spirit City. Many people wanted to join as well as spectate. There were ordinary disciples and some were warriors at the King Realm. Obviously, the stronger ones were planning to participate in the competition and were ready to risk it all in order to fight for the position.
At the same time, to ensure the fairness of the competition, Harrison, the governor of the city, led the other hall leaders in the city to witness the battles. This also showed that he paid great importance to the selection of the next Security Hall leader.
The competition for this position would be done in the simplest way. The strongest one who would be left standing, in the end, would be declared as the winner. Anyone at the King Realm, who had the intention to fight for the position would be allowed to enter the stage and fight until he defeated his opponent. The winner would wait on the stage until another challenger dared to fight him. If someone was able to defeat the former winner, then he would be the one to stay behind and wait for the next challenger. Then the last disciple to be declared as the winner would be qualified to become the Security Hall leader.
When Rocky, Ramon, and Tessa arrived at the training ground, they immediately saw that there were already two warriors at the King Realm that were fighting on the ring. One of them was the winner of the first round, meaning that it was already the second round.
"It seems that we are already late for the event," Ramon said as he stared at the disciples inside the ring.
"Well, it's not like we're too late. The event is just heating up," Rocky said as he revealed a defiant sneer.
"You two should work hard and perform well. This is a rare chance to become famous in the entire Sword Spirit City. Even if you can't get the position itself, once the people saw that you displayed your magnificent skills, new opportunities would surely come your way!" Tessa encouraged. She was well aware that her father appreciated great talents, so she believed that if they caught her father’s attention with their performance, they could expect something great.
"I think you should fight early on as a warm up. It'll be bad if your first opponent is already someone who's very strong," Rocky suggested.
