"Sir, please announce the victor!" Felton was the first one to calm down and immediately reminded the
vice president.
"But..." The vice president was still lost for words. He was having a hard time accepting that Moore was
defeated. After all, Moore was the new elite trained by the Sky-suppressing Mansion. In fact, this
contest was arranged so that he could enter the Spiritual Sea Region to cultivate.
"The result has been decided. There is no doubt who the victor is!" Felton said concisely, but it was a
clear statement.
The elders of the school didn’t want to accept what just happened, but deep inside they all knew that
Rocky beat Moore in a straight fight. Everyone present also knew it. No one could even doubt Rocky’s
victory.
After taking a couple of shaky breaths, the vice president stood up reluctantly, looked around him, and
announced at the top of his lungs, "I declare that the winner of the newcomer contest of the Sky-
suppressing School is… Basil!"
The crowd immediately exploded into an uproar. Although everyone saw that Moore was defeated in
one move, they couldn’t believe it. They demanded for some kind of explanation to try and explain what
had just transpired before their very eyes.
But since the vice president had already announced it to the public, it meant that they had no choice
but to accept it, whether they wanted to or not.
After hearing the announcement, Rocky went straight outside the arena, and was immediately greeted
by Eunice's cute face, filled with confusion.
"What did you hide from me?" She stared at Rocky and questioned him.
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Rocky said with a teasing smile.
"Do you mean your strength? But how could you have improved in such a short time? When you were
in the Sword Spirit Sect, you had just broken through to the primary stage of Spiritual Infant! But
judging from the power of the move you used to defeat Moore, I can tell that your strength has at least
reached the advanced stage!" Eunice was beyond confused.
"Of course it's impossible for me to break through to the advanced stage. But I have my own way to
make up for the gap between our strengths. That's all," Rocky explained nonchalantly.
But judging from Eunice's face, it was apparent that she still doubted him. Even if Rocky had a way to
make up for the gap in strength between him and Moore, it was still impossible for him to win with just
one move.
"Believe it or not, I actually said the truth. I'll go back now. Please get the reward for me!" After finishing
his words, Rocky turned around and left, leaving the stunned Eunice behind with her mouth still
hanging wide open.
Rocky was supposed to go up to the stage to accept the award, but since he had already left, the
ceremony didn’t push through, leaving Eunice to accept the prize on his behalf.
When Eunice returned to the disciple dormitory with the reward on hand, she went straight to Rocky's
room to look for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
It was not until the next day that Rocky returned to the dormitory.
"Where have you been the whole night?" Eunice asked as soon as she saw him.
"I had to deal with some personal affairs," he replied halfheartedly.
"Here's is your reward." Irritated, she immediately handed over an exquisite-looking box to Rocky.
After opening it, he found several bottles of elixirs and a manual with medium stage spiritual skills
inside. This kind of reward was undoubtedly precious to ordinary spirit warriors with Spiritual Infant at
medium stage. But it was no use for Rocky.
"Here, it's all yours!" Rocky handed back his prize.
"I don't want it!" Eunice turned her head, showing her discontent at him.
"Since I won the competition, does this give me a chance to enter the Spiritual Sea Region?" Rocky
asked directly.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it depends on the decision of the Sky-suppressing School. But normally, yes, you
do have a chance," Eunice replied in a much softer tone after casting a glance at him.
"Then what do you need me to do if I were to enter the Spiritual Sea Region?" Rocky asked again.
"I'm afraid you can't complete the task alone. You'd better let me go with you," Eunice replied after
thinking for a while.
"Then you have to try your best to get the opportunity to enter the Spiritual Sea Region." Rocky's eyes
narrowed.
"Well, I'm afraid that's up to God." Eunice didn't have much faith in herself since there were only a few
spots left to enter the esteemed Spiritual Sea Region.
Meanwhile, Rocky’s unexpected victory prompted the senior leaders of the Sky-suppressing School to
hold an emergency meeting. Aside from the vice president and several elders, an elder from the Sky-
suppressing Mansion was also present.
Moore's sudden defeat caught them blindsided. It had disrupted the training arrangement of the Sky-
suppressing Mansion. They couldn't just stand by and watch as the opportunity slip right through their
fingers.
"Who is this disciple called Basil?" the elder from the Sky-suppressing Mansion asked, eyeing the vice
president.
"According to the registration information, he is a spirit warrior from the Di Clan," the vice president
answered in fear. Although he was one of the most powerful people in the school, he respected the
elder from the Sky-suppressing Mansion and dared not anger him. After all, the school was controlled
directly by the Sky-suppressing Mansion.
"A warrior of the Di Clan? I did not expect that." The elder fell silent. He was obviously a little worried.
After all, the Di Clan was a force that even the Sky-suppressing Mansion didn't dare ignore.
"Yes, and this year, there is another warrior from their clan who entered the school; her name is Eunice.
They registered together," the vice president reported with utmost respect.
"Eunice? She shouldn't be from the direct line of the Di Clan. I don't remember such a name. If that's
the case, then we don't have to worry too much," the elder said as he stroked his beard.
"Yes, sir." The vice president nodded repeatedly.
"Judging by the results of the newcomer contest, there are so many talented new disciples. I think we'd
better change the competition so that more will have a chance to enter the Spiritual Sea Region this
year," the elder advised. Of course, his real purpose was to give Moore another chance to enter, but he
wanted to hide his true intent.
"No problem. I'll arrange it right away." The vice president immediately understood the meaning of the
elder's words and gave his promise.
"Thank you, vice president. In this way, I can explain to the chief when I go back." The elder then stood
up to leave, but after taking two steps he suddenly paused and added, "Keep an eye on the warrior
called Basil from the Di Clan. Pay attention to his every move. If there is anything even remotely
suspicious about him, report it to the Sky-suppressing Mansion immediately."
"Yes sir, I understand." The vice president nodded in a hurry.
After that, the elder left the room while others present watched him walk out.
