"Gloria won't warn Valeria. It seems that I will have to go to Valeria and Lilith myself." Since Rocky had already finished his business here, he hurriedly left and disappeared.
First, Rocky went to see Lilith. As she was practicing her spiritual skills in her yard, he appeared to her as Basil.
Upon seeing him, Lilith could not help but blush a little. "Basil, it's already too late. Why are you here? Anything happened?"
"Why? Can't I come and visit if I don't have anything important to discuss with you?" Rocky asked with a gentle smile.
"Um, do you want to go inside first?" Lilith asked in a shy tone.
"No. It won't be necessary. After all, I won't be here for long." Rocky shook his head as he refused. Moreover, he also thought that it would be inappropriate for him to enter Lilith's residence this late in the night.
"Okay then." Realizing what a gentleman Rocky was, Lilith looked up to him with an inexplicable brilliance in her eyes.
"By the way, I just want to know. Why you gave up the fight earlier today?" Rocky asked out of nowhere.
"Hmm, no reason really. I just don't want to fight against you," Lilith answered honestly. Besides, she also knew that Rocky should be much stronger than her. Hence, she did not want to waste both their time and hurt each other in the process.
"Really? That's it? Well, anyway, thank you for doing that."
"Ha-ha. There is no need for you to thank me. In fact, I already told you that I don't care much about the result of the Spiritual Emperor Contest. If it were not for my father forcing me to participate, I would not even want to be here. But of course, I really found the trails in the Holy Heaven Palace to be worth it!" If there was any consolation for her participation in the contest, it was the experience and attainments she acquired from the Holy Heaven Palace.
"I see. It is surprising that you have this kind of thinking at your age." Rocky actually appreciated Lilith's attitude because she knew what really was important.
"When you say it like that, you sound like an old man," Lilith complained as she put her hands on her waist.
Hearing this, Rocky smiled inwardly. After all, the experiences he had in his entire life were not actually in line with his current age.
"Also, you did not come just to thank me, right? It's okay. You don't have to beat around the bush." Obviously, Lilith was smart enough to comprehend that Rocky had something else to tell her if he had to come and see her at this time.
"Yes. I am actually here to warn you to be extra careful in your next matches. They might not be very merciful to you," Rocky reminded as neutral as he could sound.
"I see. Of course, I will. Thank you for your concern." As Lilith saw the serious expression on Rocky's face, she knew that there must be a specific reason why he was warning her. But since he tried to sound rather vaguely, she was sharp enough to assume that he could not freely tell the reason. So, she decided not to pry anymore.
"That's all. I'll take my leave." Afterward, Rocky turned around and eventually left.
While looking at Rocky's back, Lilith was a bit lost in her own thoughts.
Then, soon enough, Rocky also appeared to Valeria but as Odin this time. He also told her the same thing that he had told Lilith.
The following day, the battles commenced.
This time, Rocky's opponent was a high grade Spiritual Emperor from the Sovereign Pavilion named Iker. He was a famous poison master in the Ethereal Region.
However, as they met inside the stage, Rocky could immediately tell from Iker's eyes that he had enormous killing intent. Hence, he knew that this battle would not be as easy as the previous ones. This time, he was facing a powerful premium-stage Spiritual Emperor who was ready to kill his opponent.
At this point, Rocky had already won three consecutive matches. Since he was only supposed to be a medium-grade Spiritual Emperor, many people saw his performances as quite abnormal. Therefore, in this match, there were even more people in the crowd, curious to see if Rocky could really emerge as the dark horse of the competition.
