"Whenever I remember that battle last year, I feel so ashamed! I've always wanted to fight you again, but I never found the chance. I know that I'm not as strong as you are right now, but I wouldn't go down without a fight." Erica was indeed a stubborn woman. She hadn't let go of the fact that Rocky had once defeated her. Truth be told, his victory was only a fluke. However, she wouldn't be satisfied until she got a rematch. As long as she remembered the embarrassment of losing, it would be a nightmare that would continuously haunt her. She was surprised and frustrated that Rocky didn't participate in the martial arts contest. After all, outstanding spirit manipulators from various empires were expected to gather and join the martial arts contest.
"Then, there's one more reason why I can't fight you. What if you lose again?" Rocky retorted as he raised his eyebrows, wearing a faint smirk on his face.
"Just fight me, okay? One round is enough! If I lose again, I won't appear in front of you ever. I swear!" Erica argued in a serious tone.
"Such a stubborn woman..." Rocky had seen countless beauties before, but it was his first time seeing a delicate face with such an unyielding attitude.
Hearing what Rocky said, Erica just got more impatient.
"Just give it up. I won't fight you." Rocky clearly knew that he would gain nothing from fighting her. Thus, he stood by his decision and dismissed her right away.
Realizing that Rocky wouldn't agree no matter how much she convinced him, Erica also made up her mind. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists as if planning something. The next moment, she waved her arms, and a strong spiritual power immediately rushed towards Rocky from that very close distance. She attacked him without warning so that he would have no choice but to fight back.
"Why, you..." Rocky's face darkened with Erica's unexpected attack. However, due to his fast reflexes, he was able to step back and dodge her attack with ease.
At that moment, they were actually in the middle of the royal palace's road where many people passed by. The spirit manipulators from various empires were also around.
Therefore, the scene that Erica made quickly attracted the attention of the people in the area. The spirit manipulators instantly recognized her and became interested in the developing fight.
"Isn't that Erica, the talented spirit manipulator of the Magic Phoenix Empire?"
"Yes, it is her! I have heard that her strength is almost at the Divine Stage now."
"What? Really? I remember that she has just broken through to the Supernal Stage about a year ago. How did she get that strong in just a year? What a fascinating talent!"
"I heard that she has undergone extensive training in the Phoenix Master Clan within that time."
The spirit manipulators who saw Erica and Rocky couldn't help but discuss with each other.
However, they only knew Erica, and nothing about the person she attacked. Thus, naturally, the onlookers got curious about the person.
Therefore, the people started to make a variety of guesses.
"Has he molested her? Doesn't he know who he is dealing with? That guy is courting death!"
