Categorically, diabolic beasts and spiritual beasts on the Supreme Ether Land could only reach the Emperor Realm. It was highly unlikely for them to reach the Shura Realm, so everyone found Rubygon to be an utterly incredible existence in this regard.
Clinton never thought that Rocky's treasure beast was a diabolic beast at the Shura Realm, so he stood there looking totally stunned.
"Please, go ahead," Rocky said calmly to Clinton as he gestured that Rubygon was ready.
The moment Clinton realized how powerful his opponent was, he was at a loss for what to do. Of course, he did not want to start a fight against Rubygon, but he also did not want to stand there and do nothing, knowing all those present would deem him a coward if he backed out. Left with no other choice, he mustered all his courage and decided to fight.
"Enjoy your fight, Rubygon," Rocky playfully cheered.
In response, Rubygon immediately roared and shook its body. The next second, its overbearing aura surged out, swiftly rushed to Clinton at lightning speed, and launched a series of attacks on him.
Despite the intensity, Clinton faced Rubygon head-on.
Soon, the man and the beast caused a fierce rumble in the square in front of the hall.
At the outset, Rubygon and Clinton seemed evenly matched. Gradually, however, the innate advantage of being a diabolic beast led Rubygon to gain the upper hand.
Recognizing that the beast was already pulling ahead, Clinton felt so embarrassed that he turned livid.
"That's it! I'm demonizing now!" He took the next second to rage so he could try to save face. Apparently, Clinton forced himself to enter a demonic state to greatly boost his strength.
The demonizing ability was unique to the Shura Race. While it was impressive, it had a certain side effect on the user's body. When the royal members, including the king, saw that Clinton tried to use this skill, they all frowned and shook their heads in disapproval. They thought that he was taking this fight too seriously by using such a powerful yet double-edged skill during a play fight.
Immediately after setting off the demonizing skill, Clinton grew quite ferocious, and his overall strength had also increased to the medium stage of the Shura Realm.
Seeing that the Godly Genius stepped up his game, Rocky ordered Rubygon to do the same.
Now, they had both increased their power. As a result, a violent airwave instantly stirred up.
"Wait, what? It even reached the medium stage of the Shura Realm?" The king and the royal members were dumbfounded to find that the strength of the spiritual beast could still increase that much. After all, normal beasts would have to go through an arduous path before they could reach the Shura Realm, yet Rubygon's strength had already reached this far. Naturally, they were beyond surprised.
They could not keep themselves from guessing where Rocky got this beast. Eventually, they came to a suspicion that he might have subdued it back in the Ghostly Demon Land.
Upon arriving at this thought, the three Godly Geniuses of the royal family wore dark faces. They realized that they might have been deeply humiliated without even knowing it.
Of course, none of them compared to how gloomy Clinton looked. When he increased his power, he had thought that he would be able to regain some dignity by beating Rubygon hard. To his dismay, Rubygon still managed to increase its strength and prevail over him, which meant that using his demonizing skill was futile.
At this point, Benjamin, one of the four Godly Geniuses of the royal family, finally snapped, "That's enough, Clinton. Stop the fight."
"But I..." Clinton wanted to say something more, but he immediately nodded when he saw how serious Benjamin seemed. He then replied, "Alright, alright. I admit defeat."
The sudden withdrawal made Rocky shift his gaze to Benjamin. With one look, he could tell that this guy was the leader.
"Odin, right? I can't believe you have such an enviable beast. It's amazing! By the way, my name's Benjamin." Benjamin then looked at Rocky with a mischievous smile.
"Thanks! I'm flattered." Rocky smiled and replied with modesty.
"You know, I've been hearing a lot how unique you are in every aspect. They also say you have extraordinary abilities. It's nice to see that you're actually living up to your reputation," Benjamin continued, his wicked smile unfading.
Perceiving that Benjamin was the shrewdest one of the four Godly Geniuses, Rocky did not say a word and just smiled politely.
