"Yes, the third round is about to end and the next one will be held in a forbidden area of the Di Clan, the Holy Heaven Palace. Some say it's a mysterious place filled with many unknown dangers, but it is the most suitable place for us Godly Geniuses to fight in. Since the standoff between us just ended, the fourth round will be much more interesting," Rocky explained with a confident smile across his face.
"You're crazy!" Gloria couldn't help but snap at him. Never in a million years did she expect that Rocky would be the one to provoke the other Godly Geniuses, seeing that he was still the weakest among the nine. Although he had her and Valeria by his side, it was still far too risky to expose his identity like that.
"Some men sent by the other Godly Geniuses are keeping a close eye on us. How are we going to deal with them?" Valeria asked with concern.
"Let me deal with those bastards. Wait here and don't follow me. I don't want you guys to blow your cover. I'll be back soon." With a smile, Rocky immediately went out the door to confront their enemies.
He first hid in the shadows and disguised himself as a member of the Shura Race no one had seen before with a new mask. He then crept out of the building's edge and shouted, "Stop hiding and come get me!" He quickly dashed towards the back of the mountain, enticing his opponents to chase after him.
A handful of Spiritual Emperors emerged from the shadows and followed him.
Under the pale moonlight, Rocky saw a dozen figures chasing after him.
Not long after, Rocky arrived in a clearing at the back of the mountain and stopped.
The Spiritual Emperors of the Shura Race arrived nearly at the same time. They were divided into several groups and each took a corner before they glanced at each other. It seemed that they didn't expect that so many Spiritual Emperors would be sent to test Rocky. Inevitably, they grew wary in their minds.
At the same time, Rocky turned around under the light of the stars and faced them.
When they saw that it was a different face, they all stirred uneasily.
"What?! You aren't the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief!" One of the Spiritual Emperors gasped in surprise.
"Of course! My master isn't a fool to come see you in person. If you want to meet him, you must first pass my test," Rocky said with a sneer.
"Don't overestimate yourself, lad! Can you really beat us all by yourself? Although we work for different Godly Geniuses, we can surely set aside our differences since we all have the same goal tonight!" a masked Spiritual Emperor sent by Israel shouted.
"He's right! Who do you think you are? You won't stand a second if we gang up on you!" another Spiritual Emperor chimed in with disdain.
"It's up to you. I don't mind fighting you one by one, but you will definitely regret it!" Rocky provoked them even more with a cocky smile.
"Brat, let me be the first one to fight you! I'll put an end to your miserable life!" a thin, shifty-eyed low-level Spiritual Emperor shouted as he swiftly approached Rocky.
Although there was an opponent charging straight at him, Rocky remained steady and didn't move a muscle.
"Take this!" As soon as the Spiritual Emperor got within striking distance, he immediately unleashed his most powerful skill. With a defiant scream, several ghost shadows burst out of the ground and wrapped Rocky's feet, rendering him unable to move.
At the same time, the low-level Spiritual Emperor stretched out his hand and a huge claw materialized and slashed at Rocky.
Bang!
The overwhelming spiritual power exploded in violent fashion the instant it attacked him. It sent dust and rocks flying high into the clouds, leaving a crater on the ground. Since Rocky was unable to move, he absorbed the force of the blow head on.
