"Humph! I don't fight with losers like him. He is just a waste of my time!" Hall Leader Chen arrogantly said with a disdainful look on his face.
"Stop acting so pretentious, Hall Leader Chen," Rocky bit back.
The crowd burst into a fit of laughter and amazement. No one expected Rocky would be so cunning.
"Brat, are you courting death?" the hall leader said with his fists clenched, ready to make a move at any moment.
Seeing his intention, Eunice and Carla immediately stood in front of Rocky.
Eunice knew well enough that Rocky's real identity might be exposed if he fought with Hall Leader Chen. On the other hand, although Carla just met him, she wouldn't let the hall leader bully her friend like that.
The crowd let out a gasp of surprise when the two stood in front to protect Rocky. They wondered what kind of charm he had to make the two beautiful women stand up for him.
The moment Hall Leader Chen saw this, jealousy boiled inside his heart, which made him even more furious.
Although he wanted to attack, he was afraid of Eunice and Carla since they were both notable figures. Instead, he tried to provoke Rocky by shouting at him, "Brat, don't hide behind women!"
"I'm not hiding! They're the ones standing in front of me. If you're strong enough, then force them out! I'll just stand here in the meantime," Rocky responded angrily.
Hall Leader Chen was speechless.
The crowd once again burst into laughter. Embarrassment started to creep up on the hall leader. He wanted to put Rocky in his place, but he was also afraid of offending the ladies of the Di Clan and the Yu Clan.
"Humph! Just you wait, I'll deal with you after the Spiritual Emperor Contest!" Seeing no other way around the situation, Hall Leader Chen could do nothing but taunt his opponent once more before leaving.
Eunice and Carla breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him leave. They weren't sure if the two of them could hold him off since the hall leader was a middle-level Spiritual Emperor.
"Can you behave yourself and try not make any trouble?" Eunice immediately turned around to scold Rocky with a reproachful look.
"I provoked Hall Leader Chen just to save you! Why do you say that it's all my fault?" Rocky pretended to be displeased.
"Then that's my problem to solve, not yours!" Eunice continued to deny the matter.
Rocky gave her a teasing smile.
Meanwhile, Carla couldn't help but laugh at the two.
Noticing that the scene came to an abrupt end, the crowd continued to watch the tests in the Imperial Soul Testing Array. Out of the blue, the crowd on one side suddenly erupted into an uproar, causing many to come over and see what was happening.
"Who is this beautiful woman? I've never seen someone so pretty and attractive!"
"She is Michelle, the last disciple of the owner of the Flying Feather Pavilion. Many say that she will also be the next leader."
"What? Is she really Michelle? I heard that her skills are on par with that of Lilith of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. Some even say that she's very likely to surpass her..."
"Yes, that's her! Another talented woman who showed extraordinary talents six months ago!"
