Not aware that he was being watched, Rocky followed the spirit manipulator who was at the third grade of the Earthly Stage. If everything went according to plan, the confused fighting would end in two hours. If he could stay hidden and safe until the end of the two hours, he would be qualified to proceed to the second round.
At that same time, in other areas of the bamboo forest, some spirit manipulators consumed much of their spirit energies to launch powerful attacks against each other.
At the end of the first hour, three spirit manipulators below the skill of deputy commanders had been eliminated for being knocked out or simply running out of energy.
But changes were unexpectedly happening within the bamboo forest.
Dunn of the east-southeast military camp combined forces with another spirit manipulator from their camp. Dunn was a spirit manipulator of the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage and with their combined strength, no one was stupid enough to dare go against them. A third spirit manipulator from their camp soon joined them. At this rate, their group was likely to grab three of the seven positions who would make it to the second round.
However, the three camps originally having two participants, including the northeast military camp, had only one deputy commander left now. Therefore, the three deputy commanders agreed to join forces in order to survive.
Two other military camps including the eastern mountain military camp that originally had three representatives found themselves in dire situation for their individual members failed to find each other in time.
Therefore, except Rocky and the spirit manipulator that Rocky used as bait, there were now four sub-teams in total inside the bamboo forest. If they confronted each other, the number of participants would drop sharply. Even if only the two teams with two spirit manipulators were eliminated, Rocky could effortlessly manage to enter the second round.
However, if Rocky encountered any one of the teams except the team of three deputy commanders, he would be caught in a grim situation.
And since only seven spirit manipulators would make it to the next round, once any one of the four sub-teams encountered another team, they would fight fiercely to ensure their place among the seven who would be qualified to enter the next round.
The spectators all knew what went on inside the bamboo forest in real time.
"Why is Rocky not allied with Deputy Commander Chen?" Marin asked in confusion as she heard about the development of the contest.
"Does he act alone all the time? What is he thinking? Unless he is lucky enough to avoid the other teams, he stands to lose no matter which team he encounters!" Isis exclaimed. She was surprised that Rocky decided to fight alone. Based on the current developments on the situation, Rocky's decision was not wise. But Rocky was a man who never acted based on what everyone else was doing.
Out of nowhere, the people felt a cold gust of wind. A figure suddenly appeared beside Lance and then whispered in his ear.
This figure was Lance's personal bodyguard. The people who saw the figure assumed that Lance might've sent him out to carry out an important mission and was now reporting back to Lance.
