"Ha! You are just saying that! I know what I'm doing!" Actually, Gloria knew that everything Rocky said was reasonable. However, she was not willing to admit that she was in the wrong.
"Look at Valeria. She controls herself better than you."
"So what? It still doesn't change the fact that she's no match to me!"
"Why do you have to be so stubborn? Fine! Just listen to me carefully and understand my point. If you don't expose your real strength, the other Godly Geniuses won't get suspicious of your identity. And if they don't know who you really are, they won't put up their guards against you. It means that you can freely attack them whenever you want," Rocky explained with all seriousness.
"Then, why don't you tell me your plan first?" Finally, Rocky got Gloria to listen. Interested by the point that he made, she leaned over and was ready to hear what Rocky had to say.
On the other hand, Rocky knew that the only way he could make Gloria listen to him was that he revealed something interesting to her. Then, he whispered a few words to her. Upon hearing them, Gloria's expression immediately brightened up, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Even you know that this is an excellent idea. Now, just listen to me and everything will go well." Rocky remarked after he let Gloria know his plan.
"All right, fine! I got it already!" Gloria snorted but was actually smiling inwardly because she already got what she wanted. Then, she went ahead and left.
After a while, Rocky also left as well.
Because of his fantastic performance earlier and having mastered the Holy Spirit Skill, Rocky became a major sensation in the Spiritual Emperor Contest again. Right now, everyone treated him as a dark horse, and every attention was focused on him.
Of course, Gloria also gained a lot of attention because of her astounding performance in the Heavenly Library. She was also regarded as a very formidable opponent.
However, since Rocky had successfully prevented her from reaching the tenth grade at the very last moment, she was overshadowed and eventually not as hot a topic as Rocky, which was actually what he wanted all along.
Just as Colton announced before, the Spiritual Emperors would enter the Holy Heaven Palace in the next round. It was going to be a tough battle for each of them, so they didn't dare to waste the time given to them to recover their strength.
Moreover, many of the participating Spiritual Emperors had already secretly made alliances with others in order to ensure that they would do well in the trial.
At the same time, since Rocky had exhibited such magnificent performances in the first three rounds, many masters actually wanted to form an alliance with him. However, Rocky directly avoided them. After all, it would just hinder his plans even more.
After staying for about a day in the Magic Spiritual Space, Rocky went back to the Boundless Manor in the evening. Before the fourth round began, he wanted to discuss with Valeria the tactics that they should do in the Holy Heaven Palace.
However, before he could enter the manor, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared, and it seemed that she had been waiting for Rocky for a long time already.
Then, Rocky turned around and revealed a playful smile upon seeing who it was. It turned out to be Michelle, who had somehow changed her opinions of him after everything that happened recently.
"Miss Michelle, I take it that it's not a coincidence that you're here. What can I do for you?" Rocky stared at her and asked straightforwardly.
"You must be mistaken. I have nothing to say to you. I just passed by this place by chance," Michelle replied with a proud tone while raising her chin upward.
"Miss Michelle, you don't have to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just out with it. I have time to listen." Of course, Rocky did not believe what she just said. If she personally visited him, then he deemed that he might as well listen to what she had to say.
"Well… I admit that we had some misunderstandings before. In fact, I didn't mean to go against you." Out of the blue, Michelle spoke in a peaceful tone. Not a single hint of hostility could be found in the words she said.
On the other hand, Rocky could just smile inwardly because he had already predicted this to happen.
"I know that you don't have any ill-intent, so I did not take it seriously. You have nothing to worry about," Rocky replied, just going along with what she wanted to hear.
