If Rocky was just on the fiftieth floor, then this might not really be such a surprising feat. However, he was doing the task on the sixtieth floor. In fact, this was already the farthest that a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor could normally reach. Yet, Rocky was not showing any sign of slowing down. He made it this fast without struggling on the upper floors.
Meanwhile, the news that Rocky had already entered the sixtieth floor quickly reached the ears of the people outside the Holy Heaven Palace, instantly making a huge commotion.
"What? He is on the sixtieth floor? I thought that was already the limit for most middle-grade Spiritual Emperors! He isn't even a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor! How can this be?"
"I bet this guy is about to do something incredible again!"
"His abilities and talents are really out of this world! There's no way that he's just a low-grade Spiritual Emperor!"
At this time, all kinds of excited comments and remarks could be heard from the crowd.
Colton could just smile while lightly shaking his head. Even he was very impressed at Rocky's marvelous performance. Moreover, since the young man was disguised as s Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan, it was already to be expected that he would attract others' attention. However, Colton wasn't worried that Rocky's identity might get exposed. After all, he had complete trust in the young man and that he knew exactly when to stop.
Just as Colton expected, Rocky's plan was actually to leave the Spiritual Divine Land after he caught up with Gloria.
"Hey! Are you supposed to reach this far?" Gloria was surprised to see that Rocky had suddenly appeared and had already caught up to her. Logically speaking, he should not be performing this good if he wanted to keep a low profile.
"Listen to me first. I was attacked by Guillermo earlier," Rocky informed her immediately.
"What? Here on the test? Are you all right? What happened?" Gloria instantly asked. The expression on her face quickly changed from confusion to worry.
"Well, do you think that I can appear right before your eyes if he managed to do something to me?" Rocky retorted with a confident smile.
"Then, it seems that Guillermo was the one who got in trouble." Hearing Rocky's subtle joke, she could not help but feel relieved.
"Yeah. He probably won't be able to see the outside world again."
"Wait. What do you mean? Did you kill him?" Gloria's eyes instantly narrowed, worried that someone might discover what he did.
"Of course not. In fact, I didn't need to do anything to him."
"Then, what on earth happened? Don't make me keep guessing!" Gloria was so intrigued that she did not want Rocky to spare any detail.
Eventually, Rocky told her everything.
"I see. Israel has already made his move. It's actually beneficial for us. With his help, we can get rid of the other Godly Geniuses much sooner. It will save us a lot of trouble for later," Gloria remarked after learning how Israel cooperated with Rocky in order to eliminate the other Godly Geniuses.
"You should not be rejoicing yet. After all, Israel plans to take down every Godly Genius, including you. Your identity has already been exposed, so I want you to leave with me right now. That is actually the reason why I had to catch up with you," Rocky explained.
"I see..." Gloria knew how dangerous Israel was, but she was still a little hesitant to forfeit the test.
"What are you still hesitating for? I can guarantee that you will enter the next round. So, you don't have to go further and take the risks," Rocky urged with a serious expression.
"All right, all right!"
