"This is so laughable, Miss Li. You hold such a high status in society, yet you deliberately make things difficult and take advantage of someone like me because of some trivial matters? Do you really want to continue this? Are you not afraid that others will think that you are a narrow-minded person with a short fuse? You should care more about your reputation," Rocky said without a shred of provocation.
Hearing this, Michelle was rendered speechless. She was a bit baffled that Rocky was trying to make him look like an insignificant person while intentionally boosting her standing. On the surface, it seemed that he did not want to offend her, but Rocky actually mocked her subtly for being narrow-minded. At the same time, since there were so many people watching, if she indeed bared her fangs in public, they would certainly think that Rocky was right.
"Humph! Whatever. Anyway, just mind your own business next time!" Left with no choice, Michelle had to let the incident go. Afterward, she also left in a hurry.
"That girl is unbelievable! I don't care if she is the core disciple of the Flying Feather Pavilion. She is way too arrogant!" After Michelle left, Eunice was not able to suppress her emotions and express her irritations.
"Well, at least it became clear that she is not the one we are looking for." Judging from Michelle's behavior just now, Rocky was sure that she wasn't one of the Godly Geniuses who was just disguising as a human.
Eunice also nodded, agreeing with his conclusion.
However, Carla, who was also there, could not help but ask what the two were talking about. "You two were looking for someone?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Look! It should be our turn anytime now," Rocky replied and tried his best to immediately change the topic so that Carla could not ask anything more.
Fortunately, just a moment later, the numbers of Rocky and the two women were called. Aside from them, Michelle, Moore, Holden, and several other low-stage Spiritual Emperors were also called.
When the batch of participants was announced, the spectators immediately discussed among themselves.
Among the twenty candidates in this group, many of them were new Spiritual Emperors from various forces in the Ethereal Region. Of course, among them, the strongest one was Michelle, who ranked first among the low-grade Spiritual Emperors in the first round of the tests.
However, the potential of the Imperial Soul was not solely decided by one's level of strength. It was an innate talent. Hence, at this point, it was very hard to know whose Imperial Soul would have the highest potential.
Obviously, the spectators also had their own guesses and were rooting for a specific Spiritual Emperor. If they would base their selection on strength, the most probable ones to excel were Michelle, Holden, Moore, and Carla since they were recognized as extremely powerful Spiritual Emperors in the entire Ethereal Region. It meant that they were supposed to be the most talented ones.
"Everyone, please enter into the Imperial Soul Testing Array one by one," the Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan, who was in charge of the testing array, instructed. Then, he opened the entrance of the Imperial Soul Testing Array with his own spiritual power.
Afterward, Rocky and the others directly entered the array. As soon as they stepped in, they were sent into separate spaces.
"Inside the Imperial Soul Testing Array, your Imperial Souls will go through eighteen floors. The first six floors are classified as the human pass, where the basic strength of your Imperial Souls will be tested. The next six floors are called the earth pass, which is also known as the devil pass. On these floors, the willpower of your Imperial Souls will be tested. As we all know, the willpower of one's Imperial Soul is controlled by its owner. Hence, the willpower of the candidate will directly affect the Imperial Soul. Therefore, if one doesn't have a strong mind, chances are he will go berserk, and at the same time, the power of the Imperial Soul will greatly weaken.
Then, the last six floors are classified as the heaven pass. I will warn you that it is very hard to overcome them. In fact, since ancient times, only ten Spiritual Emperors from the Di Clan were able to reach the heaven pass.
Now, listen carefully and follow my instructions. Calm yourselves and gradually release the power of your Imperial Souls to materialize them." As Rocky heard the instructions that echoed in the space where he was in, he immediately closed his eyes and sat on the ground with his legs crossed. Then, he slowly released his Imperial Soul.
Eventually, streams of power mixed with orange light continuously overflowed from his body. They intertwined with each other and gradually transformed into a blurry soul shadow in front of him. At this point, Rocky could not clearly see the shadow itself, but it exuded a sense of arrogance and a domineering aura.
"On the first floor, you will need to refine the five essential elements in order to pass it," the voice briefly informed.
