After a while, Rocky successfully avoided the resulting impact of the Cloud-concealing Skill, and somehow, approached the two overwhelming spiritual beasts. Then, the Mystical Dragon Sword behind him soared to the sky and morphed into dazzling starlight that began to expand.
It was the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.
By then, all the disciples present were shocked by the sudden appearance of the spiritual light. It was as dense and luminous as one of the stars in the night sky. Their astonishment was heightened once they witnessed the light fall towards the earth like a falling star. It then morphed into sword shadows that completely enveloped the two spiritual beasts.
“What… what spiritual skill is this?”
“This is quite alarming. Is it a premium grade spiritual skill? I’ve never seen it before!”
“That’s impossible! How could someone with his strength use a premium grade spiritual skill like that?”
As the bewilderment continued to spread among them, the two spiritual beasts beamed with sword radiance all over their bodies. Their bodies gleamed and glistened for a moment before both of the ferocious beasts dropped dead.
All around, there was nothing but dead silence.
All the disciples turned to Rocky with eyes as wide as saucers. They looked as though they were staring at a monster.
“I guess I’ve gone too far.” Rocky knew that conjuring the Thousand-star Swordsmanship would draw a lot of attention. But considering that he was up against two premium grade spiritual beasts, he needed to use his full strength. Otherwise, someone else might take the chance of snatching his advantage.
So he used up all his power to help the red team pass the first round.
Without delay, he quickly approached the two spiritual beasts and snatched the items he needed before the other disciples could react. The red team now had a total of four items. This meant that the yellow team, who had the upper hand earlier, now seemed to be on the losing end.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry! Don’t let him escape!” Drake, the leader of the yellow team, commanded. Losing their advantage was unacceptable.
All the members of the yellow team looked at each other but none of them dared to step up and face Rocky. The Thousand-star Swordsmanship he just exhibited still stunned the onlookers.
“Thank you for the win, yellow team!” Rocky exclaimed in gratitude to the yellow team who remained frozen in place even after he took the items.
It was as if they were stunned and unable to react for a while.
'If I’m right, he used a premium grade sword skill from the Sword Spirit Sect. It must be a skill that ordinary disciples aren’t taught. But how did he manage to learn it? And a warrior of his level shouldn’t be able to master such a premium grade sword skill in the first place,' Carla thought. She was still trying to recover from the astonishment Rocky’s Thousand-star Swordsmanship brought earlier. It appeared he was more powerful than she imagined. No wonder he was able to subdue the previous demonic spiritual beast they encountered.
Once the members of the red team realized that Rocky successfully retrieved two items in a single breath, they all fell into silence before they erupted into happy and excited cheer. This meant that their team was heading straight for the second round of the newcomer contest.
The members of the red team rushed towards Rocky, one elated face after the other.
