Among the disciples at the Spirit Realm of the Sword Spirit City, Noelle solely held the third rank. But then, recently, Tessa fought with her in a competition and they ended up in a draw. Thus, Tessa's ranking also rose, and now, they shared the same ranking.
"Rocky is going to have a tough time if he's up against Noelle. I'm sure he would suffer quite a beating..." Tessa remarked as she wore a gloating look on her face and was somehow still pissed at what Rocky had done to her. It was as if she wanted Noelle to teach him a good lesson for her sake. However, right before the battle started, her gaze fell on Rocky and she started to feel a bit worried. "If Basil wants to enter the final match, he must defeat her at all cost. I just don't know how he could pull that off. He has so little chance..."
Many disciples of the Sword Spirit City were actually infatuated with Noelle. In fact, most of them stood beside the ring, where she and Rocky were going to fight, in order to support and cheer for her. At the same time, they also sneered at Rocky and ridiculed him whenever they got the chance.
"This guy just won over Omar by a fluke! Now, he's going to face Noelle. There's no way in hell that he can do that again this time!"
"That's right. As soon as she makes her move, Basil is doomed. I bet he would be scared to death!"
"He should just quit immediately. Otherwise, he's going to lose miserably!"
Although several disciples jeered at him all the time, Rocky just ignored them and kept a calm attitude.
"Hello, miss! They're right when they said that you're really beautiful," Rocky greeted Noelle casually. He looked at her from the other side of the ring with a carefree smile.
Although Noelle was somewhat petite in size, she wasn't the type that would be intimidated by anyone. She wore a serious expression and cast a cold glare at Rocky, ignoring his banter.
"Enough chitchat. Let's begin!" Noelle uttered dismissively as she cupped her hands. As soon as the fight started, a very light spiritual sword flew out from behind her.
"Noelle's Dancing Sword is the lightest spiritual sword that I've seen in the Sword Spirit Sect. It's like an assassin's dagger that will catch you off guard. It doesn't produce any sound and one can't easily detect it. Moreover, if she uses it while performing the advanced spiritual sword skill of the Sword Spirit City, the Silent Swordsmanship, it will be invincible! Basil needs to be very careful, or he will be in grave danger," Tessa muttered, still thinking that Rocky would be in a very tight spot.
However, although Noelle had already unleashed her Dancing Sword, she didn't take the initiative to attack. Instead, she waited for Rocky to make the first move. On the other hand, Rocky also did the same thing and stood there as if he was competing in terms of patience.
About half an hour had already elapsed and there wasn't even a single movement between them, which made everyone agitated. The crowd became intolerant, and they were the ones who urged the two disciples to start fighting.
After an hour, Noelle also lost her patience and already made her move. In the blink of an eye, her Dancing Sword shot out, but it wasn't that fast. A moment later, it appeared close to Rocky.
When the sword was about to approach him, a faint sound wave was suddenly produced and spread around, reverberating with a buzz.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sound wave spread out, it suddenly exploded and engulfed everything that was within its range, including Rocky.
Even the crowd was stunned at her sudden attack. As the people regained their senses, they began cheering loudly, expecting that Rocky should have been taken out by the explosion.
Just now, Noelle used the Silent Swordsmanship. As she attacked using the powerful skill, the sword aura that she generated infused into the sound wave, creating a wild vibratory resonance. Then, when the explosion occurred, a mighty sword force was released that enveloped the surroundings.
After a while, the veil of dust and smoke dissipated, but Rocky was nowhere to be seen.
Noelle instantly frowned upon seeing that Rocky wasn't where he was supposed to be. She tried to look around, but she was unable to sense Rocky's spiritual aura.
The next moment, Noelle was taken aback when Rocky quietly appeared beside her and said, "Hi, beautiful lady!"
With Noelle's quick reflexes, she immediately waved her Dancing Sword again and attempted to strike Rocky. Another burst of a sound wave blasted, but when the dust and smoke cleared out, Rocky disappeared again.
