Among the disciples at the Spirit Realm of the Sword Spirit City, Noelle solely held the third rank. But
then, recently, Tessa fought with her in a competition and they ended up in a draw. Thus, Tessa's
ranking also rose, and now, they shared the same ranking.
"Rocky is going to have a tough time if he's up against Noelle. I'm sure he would suffer quite a
beating..." Tessa remarked as she wore a gloating look on her face and was somehow still pissed at
what Rocky had done to her. It was as if she wanted Noelle to teach him a good lesson for her sake.
However, right before the battle started, her gaze fell on Rocky and she started to feel a bit worried. "If
Basil wants to enter the final match, he must defeat her at all cost. I just don't know how he could pull
that off. He has so little chance..."
Many disciples of the Sword Spirit City were actually infatuated with Noelle. In fact, most of them stood
beside the ring, where she and Rocky were going to fight, in order to support and cheer for her. At the
same time, they also sneered at Rocky and ridiculed him whenever they got the chance.
"This guy just won over Omar by a fluke! Now, he's going to face Noelle. There's no way in hell that he
can do that again this time!"
"That's right. As soon as she makes her move, Basil is doomed. I bet he would be scared to death!"
"He should just quit immediately. Otherwise, he's going to lose miserably!"
Although several disciples jeered at him all the time, Rocky just ignored them and kept a calm attitude.
"Hello, miss! They're right when they said that you're really beautiful," Rocky greeted Noelle casually.
He looked at her from the other side of the ring with a carefree smile.
Although Noelle was somewhat petite in size, she wasn't the type that would be intimidated by anyone.
She wore a serious expression and cast a cold glare at Rocky, ignoring his banter.
"Enough chitchat. Let's begin!" Noelle uttered dismissively as she cupped her hands. As soon as the
fight started, a very light spiritual sword flew out from behind her.
"Noelle's Dancing Sword is the lightest spiritual sword that I've seen in the Sword Spirit Sect. It's like an
assassin's dagger that will catch you off guard. It doesn't produce any sound and one can't easily
detect it. Moreover, if she uses it while performing the advanced spiritual sword skill of the Sword Spirit
City, the Silent Swordsmanship, it will be invincible! Basil needs to be very careful, or he will be in grave
danger," Tessa muttered, still thinking that Rocky would be in a very tight spot.
However, although Noelle had already unleashed her Dancing Sword, she didn't take the initiative to
attack. Instead, she waited for Rocky to make the first move. On the other hand, Rocky also did the
same thing and stood there as if he was competing in terms of patience.
About half an hour had already elapsed and there wasn't even a single movement between them,
which made everyone agitated. The crowd became intolerant, and they were the ones who urged the
two disciples to start fighting.
After an hour, Noelle also lost her patience and already made her move. In the blink of an eye, her
Dancing Sword shot out, but it wasn't that fast. A moment later, it appeared close to Rocky.
When the sword was about to approach him, a faint sound wave was suddenly produced and spread
around, reverberating with a buzz.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the sound wave spread out, it suddenly exploded and engulfed everything that was within its range,
including Rocky.
Even the crowd was stunned at her sudden attack. As the people regained their senses, they began
cheering loudly, expecting that Rocky should have been taken out by the explosion.
Just now, Noelle used the Silent Swordsmanship. As she attacked using the powerful skill, the sword
aura that she generated infused into the sound wave, creating a wild vibratory resonance. Then, when
the explosion occurred, a mighty sword force was released that enveloped the surroundings.
After a while, the veil of dust and smoke dissipated, but Rocky was nowhere to be seen.
Noelle instantly frowned upon seeing that Rocky wasn't where he was supposed to be. She tried to
look around, but she was unable to sense Rocky's spiritual aura.
The next moment, Noelle was taken aback when Rocky quietly appeared beside her and said, "Hi,
beautiful lady!"
With Noelle's quick reflexes, she immediately waved her Dancing Sword again and attempted to strike
Rocky. Another burst of a sound wave blasted, but when the dust and smoke cleared out, Rocky
disappeared again.
"What the hell? What kind of spiritual skill is he using? How can he hide his spiritual aura so well?"
Upon witnessing Rocky's strange movements, even Harrison couldn't help but be left dumbfounded.
The people of the Sword Spirit City were always good at and focused on sword skills. That was why
they shouldn't be able to learn other advanced spiritual skills. Therefore, after seeing that, he was sure
that Rocky had displayed a spiritual skill that wasn't of the Sword Spirit City.
The audience also glanced at each other and were baffled as to how Rocky could completely
disappear in such a large competition area.
Unable to perceive Rocky's spiritual aura, Noelle started to become anxious. If she couldn't trace where
her opponent was, she was going to have some problems. "You coward, come out and face me!" she
shouted in exasperation.
"Coward? I'm such a good-looking guy and I can't be a coward; don't you agree?" Out of nowhere,
Rocky's voice echoed as he emerged beside her again.
Everyone watching couldn't help but be surprised, as well as laugh, upon hearing what Rocky said.
They couldn't determine where he was coming from, and they thought that he was just toying with
Noelle.
"You, shameless bastard!" Noelle glared at him, feeling humiliated by his stunts. She felt that Rocky
wasn't fighting her seriously, and he was just deliberately making a fool out of her.
"What? How can you call me that? This is called confidence!" Rocky boasted with a playful grin.
"Then, don't hide from me if you think that you have what it takes to defeat me!" Noelle snorted coldly.
"Hmm. But you're so beautiful even when you're angry, so I wanted to play with you a little longer.
Otherwise, if I become serious, you would lose easily," Rocky remarked as he intentionally provoked
her.
"You conceited piece of crap! I'm done with your antics!" Noelle shouted, obviously furious at Rocky's
words.
"Ha-ha! Are you offended? I'm sorry. I was just telling the truth," Rocky commented as he laughed
complacently.
Being triggered to the extreme, Noelle almost lost her mind and began attacking him viciously and
randomly. All she cared about right now was to corner Rocky and take him down.
However, no matter how hard she tried to restrict Rocky's escape route, he would just disappear
mysteriously and reappear like a ghost again and again, which greatly bewildered Noelle.
Not long after, her face already turned red, and she looked like she was out of breath. It seemed that
she got rather exhausted after randomly attacking Rocky aimlessly.
"Aren't you too tired to go on? Do you still want to continue? You can admit defeat if you want." Out of
nowhere, Rocky appeared near her again and persuaded her to surrender the match.
"No way! You haven't seen anything, so don't be too arrogant! I didn't want to use it as much as
possible, but you forced me. Now, you're going to regret it!" Noelle instantly narrowed her eyes upon
saying that. Suddenly, she let the Dancing Sword soar into the sky and fly about a hundred meters
above them.
When Rocky saw that, his reaction grew a bit serious.
"Wait. Is she going to use the most powerful and advanced spiritual sword skill in the Sword Spirit City?
Impossible! When did she even succeed in cultivating it?" Tessa's faced almost turned pale when she
realized what Noelle was trying to do.
The people present also immediately guessed what was going to happen. Thus, they stared at Noelle
in astonishment.
"Green Wave Swordsmanship!"
As Noelle shouted the name of the move, the Dancing Sword swooped down in a flash. Then,
extremely strong sound waves were constantly released, rushing to the ground with great momentum.
As the sword landed in the blink of an eye, the violent sword aura waves surged out like gushing
ripples that instantly covered the area within a thousand meters, affecting the surroundings of the
competition area.
When the people watching witnessed that, they easily got panic-stricken. They immediately retreated,
afraid that they would also be caught up in the devastating sword aura that Noelle had unleashed.
At the same time, while he was at the core of the sword aura wave, Rocky still let out a faint smirk. He
quickly stomped on the ground beneath his feet, instantly making a huge fissure. The broken stones all
over the ground were lifted by an unknown force and continuously gathered, forming a solid defense to
resist the impact of Noelle's attack.
