After his battle with Isabel, Rocky realized that there might be a lot of spiritual race troops who were proficient in the mysterious military arrays. If that was the case and they fought against the spiritual race again, a simple military array wouldn't be enough to defeat them. Therefore, upon consulting Tucker, he gathered a group of six thousand troops to undergo systematic training in military arrays, so that they'd be able to freely operate the basic military arrays. From there, he would gradually improve them.
A few days later, after the training, Rocky went back to his own tent to finally get some rest. Now that he had been promoted to deputy commander, he had his own tent. Just as he was about to settle down, a delicate figure suddenly emerged on his campgrounds. He initially thought it was Shirley, but upon a closer look, he realized it was actually Isabel disguised as a human soldier.
"Why are you here?" Rocky looked at Isabel in surprise.
"Commander in Chief Mu asked me to give this to you," Isabel said as she handed the secret letter to Rocky without hesitation.
Rocky took it eagerly and read it immediately. After he read it, a faint smile of relief played on his lips.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave now." Isabel knew that she couldn't stay long. If she was discovered, it'd truly be troublesome. Once she was finished speaking, she turned around abruptly to take her leave.
"Wait!" Rocky suddenly stopped her.
"Are you going to detain me?" Isabel stopped to glare at Rocky.
"No, you misunderstand. I just wanted to thank you." Rocky smiled at her gratefully.
"Don't bother. I'm just doing this for Commander in Chief Mu!" Isabel sneered.
"Still, I owe you one. I mean it," Rocky said seriously.
"And how do you plan to repay me?" Isabel rolled her eyes. Obviously, she didn't take him seriously.
"You haven't merged with a martial spirit yet, have you?" Rocky asked suddenly.
"Are you kidding me? You know it's not that simple to even find a martial spirit." Isabel rolled her eyes at Rocky once more, filled with exasperation.
"Alright then. I'll give you a martial spirit for free," Rocky said graciously. After all, there were many martial spirits roaming around in his Magic Spiritual Space.
"Huh? Save it! Quit messing with me," Isabel spat. Secretly, Rocky's offer stunned her for a moment. He must've been joking.
But even as she was speaking, Rocky suddenly reached out and took her hand, taking her directly into his Magic Spiritual Space.
"Come out, all of you!" Once they had entered the Magic Spiritual Space, Rocky summoned his martial spirits. It didn't take long before a mass of martial spirits gathered around them, startling Isabel beyond belief.
"What? There are so many of them! How did you manage to collect so many?" Isabel was absolutely stunned. Although she had seen some martial spirits before, it definitely took her by surprise to see so many of them at once.
"Pick any one, as long as you can fuse with it," Rocky said.
Isabel stared at him in disbelief for a moment. Finally, after hesitating, she came to her senses. "Am I dreaming? These martial spirits are all fake, aren't they?"
"You'll know when you fuse with one of them." Rocky shrugged and winked at her.
Isabel hesitated a moment more, but eventually, she found herself eyeing the mass of martial spirits before her. For a highly talented spirit warrior such as herself, it came easy to her to find a suitable martial spirit.
Before long, she stood in front of a valiant and heroic female martial spirit clad in armor. It was obvious that her former master was a female general who dominated the battlefield.
"Whenever you're ready, you can begin merging with it." As Rocky spoke, he asked the other martial spirits to disperse and let Isabel fuse with the female martial spirit in front of her.
