Moreover, Rocky's Imperial Soul was very unique and special in many aspects. In fact, even Colton
and the other two Spiritual Emperors might not be able to hurt him. Hence, there was no doubt that the
Fiery Lion could not do anything to him.
At this moment, Crosby was still a bit dumbfounded, so he could not help but cast a few glances
towards Rocky. Just a moment ago, he clearly felt a strange aura from Rocky. It only lasted for a
second, but he was still able to sense it. Furthermore, it was the first time ever that a low-grade
Spiritual Emperor could remain calm in front of the Fiery Lion. It was indeed an astonishing feat.
"As promised, here is your reward for being the last one to hold on. It is a Sacred Spirit Pill." Crosby
actually believed that some Spiritual Emperors of the Sky-suppressing Mansion would emerge
victorious, so there was no problem for him to give it as a reward in the test. However, never did he
expect that it was Rocky who would outlast every other Spiritual Emperor in the end.
A promise was a promise, so he did not hesitate to give it to the winner. Therefore, he immediately took
out the Sacred Spirit Pill and handed it over to Rocky. At the same time, he could not help but subtly
give Rocky a meaningful look.
"Thank you for this, Mr. Crosby." Although Rocky noticed the look that Crosby gave him, he did not pay
attention to it and just accepted the reward without hesitation.
Later on, Crosby returned to where Colton and the others were.
At this moment, everyone's focus was on Rocky. After all, who would have thought that he could even
take a nap in front of the vicious Fiery Lion? Because of that, he won in the end and even got the top-
grade pill from Crosby. It was hard for the onlookers to accept the fact, especially that he was just a
low-grade Spiritual Emperor.
Of course, no one knew that Rocky did that on purpose. He intentionally planned to make a scene
during the test in order for the other disguised Godly Geniuses to take the bait and reveal their
identities.
Just as Rocky expected, several Spiritual Emperors showed looks of suspicion towards him.
"Hey, can I have the pill that you received?" Out of nowhere, Eunice suddenly appeared and asked for
Rocky's reward without any hint of hesitation.
"Oh, you want it?"
"Of course! Don't you know that it's the best one among the low-level pills? It can easily help you break
through to a higher level. If you don't want it, then just give it to me." Without even a hint of a humble
tone, Eunice asked for the pill, assuming that Rocky would have no interest in it.
"Fine. I'll give you the pill." Indeed, Eunice was right. Rocky was not really interested in it, so he handed
it to her without wanting anything in return.
Although the Sacred Spirit Pill was actually pretty good, it would be useless for Rocky since he had
already reached a much higher level. So it was better to give it to Eunice.
Upon receiving the pill, Eunice was very exhilarated.
At the same time, when the people saw how Rocky gave the coveted Sacred Spirit Pill without
reluctance, they could not help but start some rumors and guess the relationship between him and
Eunice.
Moreover, they were so envious of Rocky. He could just give a precious pill to others without thinking
twice.
They were starting to see Rocky's real strength, and even the high-grade Spiritual Emperors seemed to
be inferior to him.
"The third test shall commence tomorrow. For now, let us call it a day and have a good rest!" Colton got
the attention of the crowd and made the announcement.
Afterward, Colton and the other two Spiritual Emperors left the scene.
Since there were no events remaining for the day, the participants also left one after another.
On the other hand, Rocky stayed behind. He wanted to observe the crowd first as they left the area.
Soon enough, everybody was gone, and he was the only one remaining. However, just as he was
about to leave, a figure suddenly appeared and stood in front of him.
"Hey! You are the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief, aren't you? You are making such a huge fuss here in
the Spiritual Emperor Contest. I guess you are not afraid to reveal your identity, huh?" It was actually a
participant from the spiritual race, and his eyes were full of hostility as he looked at Rocky. Since he
knew about the Godly Geniuses, Rocky thought that he must be a Godly Genius in disguise or
someone connected to them.
"What? You must be mistaking me for someone else. I don't know anything about the Godly Genius of
the Ghost Fief," Rocky replied, deliberately feigning ignorance.
"Ha! Do you take me for a fool? If you are not the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief, I will quit the
competition right away!" The man from the spiritual race was so sure that he even wagered his spot on
the contest.
"Ha-ha! Fine. May I know who you are? Which fief do you belong to?" Rocky asked calmly and cupped
his hands in front of the man.
"I am from the Blood Fief." Without any hesitation, the man instantly revealed his identity to Rocky.
"The Blood Fief?" Rocky could not help but raise his eyebrows upon hearing this. The Blood Fief was
known to be the weakest one among the nine major fiefs. In fact, their Godly Genius did not take part in
the quest to subdue the Nether Dragon King last time, so Rocky had not seen him personally. However,
since the man took the initiative to reveal his identity without any hesitation, Rocky thought that he was
either a fool or a schemer.
But based on Rocky's experience, he must be dealing with a schemer. The reason was quite simple. At
this point, all of the other Godly Geniuses saw Rocky as a major threat, so no one would think of easily
exposing their identities to him. If anything, they should be always on guard.
Therefore, it was plain as day that this man was up to something as he came to Rocky first.
"Why did you appear before me? What is your intention?" Although Rocky was already sure that there
might be a trap waiting for him, he kept it to himself first. This Godly Genius must have a purpose to
seek him, so he wanted to know that.
"I actually wanted to cooperate with you and Valeria." With a serious expression on his face, the man
immediately uttered these words.
"You want an alliance? Then, why didn't you find Israel? Everyone knows that he is the strongest
among all the Godly Geniuses. It's so obvious that he is the best choice," Rocky retorted, thinking that
his motives were very suspicious.
"Humph! I already tried that, but Israel doesn't want to cooperate with me." The man snorted coldly.
"What is his reason?"
"Well, everyone knows that Israel is so competitive. He can even defeat all of the other eight Godly
Geniuses on a one-on-one battle. Hence, he did not want to cooperate with anyone."
"What about the other Godly Geniuses? As far as I know, some of them also formed an alliance. Like
Drew and Quentin?" Rocky asked as his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Ha! Are you kidding? I don't like those guys," the man quickly said with utter disdain.
"So, you are saying that you only want to ally with me and Valeria?" Based on his answers just now,
Rocky could tell that this man had a definite plan on his mind.
"Yes. That's right. Besides, I can help you guys a lot. Between you and me, I have already confirmed
the identities of Drew and Quentin. If you will cooperate with me, I can immediately tell you who they
were disguised as!" the Godly Genius said, offering a very tempting offer. "Hmm. That sounds great."
Rocky let out a positive response, but he did not immediately agree to it. After all, he could tell that this
man did not really want to cooperate and help him. Moreover, his gut was telling him that he was
probably not really the Godly Genius of the Blood Fief, and this was all a part of an elaborate trap to
take him down.
"What do you say? We can join hands and kill Drew and Quentin! They will never know what hit them!"
the Godly Genius tried to entice Rocky even further.
"So, you are actually planning on killing them during the Spiritual Emperor Contest?" Rocky just found
another major reason why he could not trust this person. If this man was prepared to launch a sneak
attack during the Spiritual Emperor Contest, then greater trouble would inevitably happen unless he
had a very secure plan to pull it off.
"Yes. That is not a problem. We can find many opportunities to do it during the contest. Why are you
hesitating? If we can seize the opportunity, we should take it, right?"
"Well, give me a little bit of time to think about it," Rocky said after thinking for a while.
"All right then… Give me your reply as soon as you can." The Godly Genius hesitated a bit before
replying because he wanted an answer right away.
"Yeah. See you later." Upon saying that, Rocky left the square.
A few moments after Rocky left, another figure appeared beside the man who introduced himself as the
Godly Genius of the Blood Fief.
