After a while, Valeria, who was still unconscious due to her injuries, was sent back to the dormitory
where she was staying by Eunice. Meanwhile, Rocky, who disguised himself as Odin, was already in
the room, preparing for the operation to heal Valeria's wounds.
With the severity of her injuries, she could only be treated by Rocky's Skill of Magic Needle.
"I have already done my best to delay your match, giving you additional six hours. Will it be enough?"
Eunice asked Rocky, looking at the pitiful state of Valeria.
"I'm not sure. For now, I just have to do my best to save her!" Rocky said with certainty in his eyes. At
the back of his mind, he thought that it was much better to try than do nothing.
"I'm a little confused. Isn't she a Godly Genius too? Wouldn't it be more favorable to you if she became
disabled?" Eunice knew that Valeria was currently Rocky's nominal fiancee, which was why she was
cooperating with him. However, it was also known that sooner or later, the Godly Geniuses would have
to fight among each other. So, naturally, Valeria would also become Rocky's enemy in the end.
Therefore, Eunice thought that this situation was actually not bad for Rocky.
"I understand what you are thinking. However, it's not that simple. If something bad happens to her, the
alliance between the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief will become meaningless. Israel, the biggest threat
in the competition among the Godly Geniuses, and the Primitive Fief where he belongs are not yet
eliminated. Thus, the Ghost Fief still needs the support of the Flower Fief. That is why I cannot let
something bad happen to Valeria," Rocky explained with a frown.
"I see. Then, you'd better hurry up. You should finish healing her before your match starts." Rocky
would not be swayed if he had already decided to do something. Hence, Eunice could just sigh and
leave to let him focus on healing Valeria.
Right after Eunice left, Rocky began to employ the Skill of Magic Needle to heal Valeria's wounds.
Eventually, six hours passed by and the match between Rocky and Quentin should be starting anytime
soon.
In fact, Quentin had already been waiting on the field all this time. However, Rocky was nowhere to be
found. This made the people in the audience start a commotion, discussing among themselves why
Rocky had not shown up yet.
"What's happening? Where the hell is Basil?"
"Don't tell me he got scared? Come on!"
"That's impossible. His opponent might also be considered a dark horse, but I'm sure that Basil is
strong enough to defeat him!"
"Eunice, what's holding Basil up? He will be disqualified if he doesn't show up on time." Even Carla was
getting anxious because Rocky had never been late in this kind of important battle.
"Who knows what that guy is thinking? Maybe he just wants a grand entrance!" Of course, Eunice
pretended to be ignorant because she couldn't tell anyone that he was actually busy healing Valeria.
Moreover, there were so many people around, and someone might hear her if she told the truth.
At this moment, an incense stick was lit up, meaning only fifteen minutes were remaining before the
match started. If Rocky did not show up within that time limit, it meant that Quentin would automatically
win by default.
Soon enough, the fifteen minutes were almost up. The incense had reached the bottom and was about
to be extinguished.
But just when everyone thought that Rocky might not show up anymore, a figure silently appeared on
the stage, bearing an indescribable momentum.
"He made it! It's him!" As soon as Eunice saw Rocky, she was so relieved that she could not help but
exclaim.
Fortunately, in the nick of time, Rocky was able to arrive on the stage.
However, there was not even a hint of relief or elation on Rocky's face. His eyes were as cold as ice,
and he was in a very bad mood. Moreover, he did not even look at Quentin, who was supposed to be
his opponent. Instead, his icy glare fell directly on Israel, who was watching the battle on the sidelines.
Then, when Israel met Rocky's piercing gaze, he was kind of taken aback. Obviously, he could feel the
wrath directed at him.
When Rocky was healing Valeria earlier, he found out that Israel had been extremely cruel to her. Not
only were her meridians seriously damaged, but all of her four limbs were also broken. In fact, if he
hadn't learned Esteban's Skill of Magic Needle, Valeria might have become disabled throughout her
life.
Of course, Israel had all reasons to crush her to this extent. After all, he had already suspected that
Valeria was one of the Godly Geniuses in disguise.
Even if Valeria was just Rocky's fiancee on paper, they had already established a connection. Since his
woman was bullied to such a degree, he would not sit idly. He would avenge her until justice was
served.
Therefore, he had no reason to hold back in this match against Quentin. He would do everything in
order to face Israel in the final battle and make him taste his own medicine.
On the other hand, when Quentin saw that Rocky did not even look at him, he felt so humiliated and
ignored. It was as if saying to his face that he was not even worth the time and attention. Besides,
Rocky also killed Drew before, making him lose a powerful ally. Therefore, he also had all the more
reasons to make Rocky pay.
At this moment, the only thought that was running in Quentin's mind was to destroy Rocky in the most
mortifying way. Then, when he entered the ultimate battle, he would also defeat Israel and accomplish
the task given to the Godly Geniuses.
Thus, the very moment the gong sounded, Quentin instantly used the secret skill of the Purgatory Fief.
A shadow suddenly spread out from beneath his feet and enveloped the entire stage. Then, a gloomy
aura persisted, making the spectators nearby shudder in horror.
"I shall show you the power of the Nether Spiritual Domain! Let's see how you handle this!" As soon as
Quentin finished his sentence, he instantly soared into the sky and looked down at Rocky with
murderous intent oozing from his eyes. "Basil, this place will be your burial ground!"
The moment Quentin launched his attack, a Spiritual Domain was released. The onlookers were
rendered speechless because they thought that a Spiritual Domain could only be performed by a
Spiritual Emperor at the peak stage. They all assumed that Quentin was just an ordinary premium-
stage Spiritual Emperor, so there was no way that he was strong enough to display a Spiritual Domain.
"What the hell? Is he that desperate to use a Spiritual Domain as soon as the battle begins? If Basil
can't use his own Spiritual Domain, how will he fight against this guy?" Carla anxiously shouted.
"This is surely a battle between two powerful masters. I wonder if Basil can defeat his opponent. He
seems to be a little too strong!" Even though Lilith knew that Rocky was indeed powerful, she was not
sure if he could handle this kind of opponent.
"Don't worry. There's no way that Basil will lose," Eunice said rather calmly, confident that Rocky would
prevail.
Then, at this time, Rocky also soared into the air. Slowly, sword shadows emerged and condensed
around his body one after another, and they appeared to be very real.
"Am I seeing this right? Isn't that the Sword Spiritual Domain? Only sword masters at the peak stage
could exhibit that!"
"Damn! We don't know the extent of Basil's strength at all! He is surprising us up to this point!"
"I thought we will be witnessing a fight between two Spiritual Emperors at the premium stage. But this
is far better than what we expected!"
"At this point, it is rather difficult to guess who will win the battle!"
At this moment, the people in the audience could not help but exclaim and discuss excitedly.
"I am now sure that Basil's strength is unfathomable. He just doesn't stop growing stronger, which
surprises us every time. If we can only make him join the Sovereign Pavilion, we are going to become
untouchable!" Holden, who was also enjoying the battle with Michelle, expressed his desire to recruit
Rocky. Of course, he was not aware of Basil's real identity. Otherwise, he would not think of this.
"I don't think we can convince him. I heard that he turned down even the invitation of the daughter of
the Sky-suppressing Mansion's chief. What makes you think that he would want to join the Sovereign
Pavilion?" Michelle asked nonchalantly while shaking her head.
"Why are you giving up so soon? Maybe if you do the talking, he might give in!" Holden strongly
suggested, indicating Michelle to use her womanly charms.
"We can plan about that later." Michelle actually had little knowledge of Rocky as Basil. She only knew
that he had risen to fame back when he was still in the Sky-suppressing School. Then, afterward, he
was summoned to fight in the front line. While he was rendering his service there, he gained many
achievements that made Colton, the commander in chief at that time, favor him. However, sometime
after that, he disappeared mysteriously and completely. Then, the only time he resurfaced was here in
the Spiritual Emperor Contest. What was more surprising was that after he returned, his strength had
already improved by leaps and bounds. Therefore, many people could not help but be curious,
including Michelle.
There were so many secrets involving Rocky that would blow people's minds once they were revealed.
One of them was if they knew that Basil and Rocky was actually the same person.
