Chapter 292 The Powerful And Mysterious Man
Although Uriah''s fight stunned the audience, the skill that this mysterious man now disyed drew
everyone''s attention and admiration. His spiritual martial arts had caught everyone present by surprise.
The spiritual martial arts of the mysterious man obviously surpassed Evan. Many in the audience
wondered about the true identity of the mysterious man. Evan was of the fourth grade of the Earthly
Stage. Among the thirty participants, he was considered to be of the intermediate level. He was only
slightly below the skill level of the deputymanders. The two deputymanders of the northeast
military camp had already finished their rounds. Who then was this mysterious man? Was there
anotherpetitor from the northeast military camp who could easily overwhelm Evan?
No one in the audience had an answer.
Evan was takenpletely by surprise by the man''s spiritual martial arts attack. He could not believe
that his strike could not withstand the arrow force from the man. As the neb arrow came within
inches from Evan, his spiritual power surged and he threw another Flying Cloud Punch against the
arrow. But the neb arrow pierced his punch attack one more time.
Murmurs filled the audience while some eximed in shock and amazement. Evan was a spirit
maniptor of the fourth grade of the Earthly Stage and yet he somehow failed to counter an attack
from this mysterious man twice in a row.
The audience quickly realized that this mysterious man was much more powerful than Evan.
Everyone''s eyes were fixed on the mysterious man. His aura was so intense that nobody could ignore

his presence. His entrance at the arena was like that of a war goding down to show his wrath on
the helpless mortal before him.
"How is that even possible!? Evan can''t withstand Rocky''s spiritual martial arts attack!?" No one was
more shocked than Marin. Thest time she saw Rocky fight against Evan, Rocky was only of the
second grade of the Earthly Stage and was weaker than Evan. It was only a few months since that
fight. How did Rocky grow that strong so quickly?
"Marin, is Rocky really only of the second grade of the Earthly Stage?" Isis asked. She had never seen
Rocky fight before and everything she knew about Rocky''s skills was from Marin. Rocky''s spiritual aura
was always weak so it was hard to tell how strong he truly was. When she saw how powerful Rocky''s
attack was, she was also surprised.
But Marin and Isis were not the only ones who were caught by surprise. Lance watched the fight with
growing interest and surprise. As a master spirit maniptor, Lance could easily tell that the spiritual
power in Rocky''s attack was far more powerful than that of Evan.
Lance gave Marin an inquiring look. From Uriah''s appearance to Rocky''s attack, the whole match was
a huge surprise to everyone who witnessed it. But even more important was the fact that thesest few
minutes now provided a glimpse to the true power level of Rocky that no one seemed to have any idea
before today. No one present was aware that there was a soldier in the northeast military camp who
was this powerful.
When Marin met Lance''s nce, all she could do was shrug helplessly. She was as confused and
clueless as everyone.
"It''s impossible that he has improved several grades in a mere few months. Unless he has been
concealing his true power level from the start. Is it that he is always higher than the second grade of the
Earthly Stage?" Isis guessed thoughtfully.
"I don''t know. He is a strange guy. That is just how he is. Rocky has never stopped surprising people
with what he can do that no one else knows is even possible," Marin replied with an awkward smile.
At the same time, themanders and officers in the tform and soldiers and spirit maniptors of
the base camp around the arena, all recognized the mysterious man. He was the breeder who
disyed an exceptional skill in the Army g Contest and even received high praise from the
Commander in Chief.
They were almost taken aback when they realized that the mysterious man was Rocky.
And those who did not recognize the identity of the mysterious man, they all marveled at the power that
he had demonstrated. They considered Rocky as a genius spirit maniptor.
The entire training field roared with excitement because of Rocky and Uriah.
A loud explosion filled the arena as a blinding light momentarily blinded everyone watching. Evan could
not counter Rocky''s spiritual martial arts attack. The neb arrownded on the ground with the force
of a meteor and left a gaping hole in front of Evan.
The force of the explosion was so close that it almost hit Evan. He was lucky that he was able to move
away from the st. Beads of cold sweat filled his brows and rolled down his face and neck. His breath
became short and shallow. His heart pumped like it was going to jump right out of his chest.
Evan''s beast was overwhelmed by Uriah, and now he could not even match the spiritual martial arts
attack from Rocky. Boos andughs slowly filled the air as the audience saw Evan in this predicament.
Evan had never felt so embarrassed before. He stared at Rocky with hate-filled eyes.
It wasmon knowledge that Evan came from an influential family. He was a member of the Ji n.
His father was an important figure in the n. This was likely the reason why Evan was always
arrogant and cocky. Many people present had harbored a keen hate for Evan because of this. Now that
Evan was getting humbled in the arena, a lot of the people present were happy at the result of the
battle.
Based on Evan''s estimate, he should have easily beaten Rocky. Rocky should now bepletely
defeated and should now be kneeling and begging for mercy. In Evan''s mind, the audience''s scorn
belonged to Rocky and not him. But reality was not on Evan''s side right now.
Evan found it impossible to ept what happened. Anger burned in his chest as his face twisted in
"You are dead! Do you hear me?!" Evan yelled angrily at Rocky. He felt so humiliated. He used his
anger to focus all of his spiritual power into his next spiritual martial arts attack that easily defeated
Rocky before.
"Ghost Fog!"
Evan yelled the two words in grim determination and confidence. A dense white fog slowly surrounded
Rocky threatening topletely engulf him. Figures of ghosts appeared from the fog as it expanded all
around Rocky. They charged at Rocky all at the same time as loud shrieks and screams filled the air.
"Such a joke!" Rocky said in contempt. He summoned the Neb Cloud Transformation with the
merest gesture. A neb-like light soon filled the area around Rocky. It expanded quickly and
overwhelmed the surrounding fog. The fog and the ghosts were swept into nothingness in a matter of
seconds, the screams faded into nothingness like the memory of a bad dream that melted against the
rays of the morning sun.
"That is not possible!" Evan was almost stunned in disbelief as Rocky effortlessly took out his Ghost
Fog.
The audience could scarcely hold back their surprise, admiration and amazement when they saw
Rocky break Evan''s Ghost Fog as if it was a mote of dust against the fury of the wind that was Rocky.
They all now wondered how powerful Rocky truly was.
