Although Uriah's fight stunned the audience, the skill that this mysterious man now displayed drew everyone's attention and admiration. His spiritual martial arts had caught everyone present by surprise.
The spiritual martial arts of the mysterious man obviously surpassed Evan. Many in the audience wondered about the true identity of the mysterious man. Evan was of the fourth grade of the Earthly Stage. Among the thirty participants, he was considered to be of the intermediate level. He was only slightly below the skill level of the deputy commanders. The two deputy commanders of the northeast military camp had already finished their rounds. Who then was this mysterious man? Was there another competitor from the northeast military camp who could easily overwhelm Evan?
No one in the audience had an answer.
Evan was taken completely by surprise by the man's spiritual martial arts attack. He could not believe that his strike could not withstand the arrow force from the man. As the nebula arrow came within inches from Evan, his spiritual power surged and he threw another Flying Cloud Punch against the arrow. But the nebula arrow pierced his punch attack one more time.
Murmurs filled the audience while some exclaimed in shock and amazement. Evan was a spirit manipulator of the fourth grade of the Earthly Stage and yet he somehow failed to counter an attack from this mysterious man twice in a row.
The audience quickly realized that this mysterious man was much more powerful than Evan.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mysterious man. His aura was so intense that nobody could ignore his presence. His entrance at the arena was like that of a war god coming down to show his wrath on the helpless mortal before him.
"How is that even possible!? Evan can't withstand Rocky's spiritual martial arts attack!?" No one was more shocked than Marin. The last time she saw Rocky fight against Evan, Rocky was only of the second grade of the Earthly Stage and was weaker than Evan. It was only a few months since that fight. How did Rocky grow that strong so quickly?
"Marin, is Rocky really only of the second grade of the Earthly Stage?" Isis asked. She had never seen Rocky fight before and everything she knew about Rocky's skills was from Marin. Rocky's spiritual aura was always weak so it was hard to tell how strong he truly was. When she saw how powerful Rocky's attack was, she was also surprised.
But Marin and Isis were not the only ones who were caught by surprise. Lance watched the fight with growing interest and surprise. As a master spirit manipulator, Lance could easily tell that the spiritual power in Rocky's attack was far more powerful than that of Evan.
Lance gave Marin an inquiring look. From Uriah's appearance to Rocky's attack, the whole match was a huge surprise to everyone who witnessed it. But even more important was the fact that these last few minutes now provided a glimpse to the true power level of Rocky that no one seemed to have any idea before today. No one present was aware that there was a soldier in the northeast military camp who was this powerful.
When Marin met Lance's glance, all she could do was shrug helplessly. She was as confused and clueless as everyone.
"It's impossible that he has improved several grades in a mere few months. Unless he has been concealing his true power level from the start. Is it that he is always higher than the second grade of the Earthly Stage?" Isis guessed thoughtfully.
"I don't know. He is a strange guy. That is just how he is. Rocky has never stopped surprising people with what he can do that no one else knows is even possible," Marin replied with an awkward smile.
At the same time, the commanders and officers in the platform and soldiers and spirit manipulators of the base camp around the arena, all recognized the mysterious man. He was the breeder who displayed an exceptional skill in the Army Flag Contest and even received high praise from the Commander in Chief.
