Chapter 299 Supervision On Rocky
Not aware that he was being watched, Rocky followed the spirit maniptor who was at the third grade
of the Earthly Stage. If everything went ording to n, the confused fighting would end in two hours.
If he could stay hidden and safe until the end of the two hours, he would be qualified to proceed to the
second round.
At that same time, in other areas of the bamboo forest, some spirit maniptors consumed much of
their spirit energies tounch powerful attacks against each other.
At the end of the first hour, three spirit maniptors below the skill of deputymanders had been
eliminated for being knocked out or simply running out of energy.
But changes were unexpectedly happening within the bamboo forest.
Dunn of the east-southeast military campbined forces with another spirit maniptor from their
camp. Dunn was a spirit maniptor of the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage and with theirbined
strength, no one was stupid enough to dare go against them. A third spirit maniptor from their camp
soon joined them. At this rate, their group was likely to grab three of the seven positions who would
make it to the second round.
However, the three camps originally having two participants, including the northeast military camp, had
only one deputymander left now. Therefore, the three deputymanders agreed to join forces in
order to survive.
Two other military camps including the eastern mountain military camp that originally had three
representatives found themselves in dire situation for their individual members failed to find each other
in time.
Therefore, except Rocky and the spirit maniptor that Rocky used as bait, there were now four sub-
teams in total inside the bamboo forest. If they confronted each other, the number of participants would
drop sharply. Even if only the two teams with two spirit maniptors were eliminated, Rocky could
effortlessly manage to enter the second round.
However, if Rocky encountered any one of the teams except the team of three deputymanders, he
would be caught in a grim situation.
And since only seven spirit maniptors would make it to the next round, once any one of the four sub-
teams encountered another team, they would fight fiercely to ensure their ce among the seven who
would be qualified to enter the next round.
The spectators all knew what went on inside the bamboo forest in real time.
"Why is Rocky not allied with Deputy Commander Chen?" Marin asked in confusion as she heard
about the development of the contest.
"Does he act alone all the time? What is he thinking? Unless he is lucky enough to avoid the other
teams, he stands to lose no matter which team he encounters!" Isis eximed. She was surprised that
Rocky decided to fight alone. Based on the current developments on the situation, Rocky''s decision
was not wise. But Rocky was a man who never acted based on what everyone else was doing.
Out of nowhere, the people felt a cold gust of wind. A figure suddenly appeared beside Lance and then
whispered in his ear.
This figure was Lance''s personal bodyguard. The people who saw the figure assumed that Lance
might''ve sent him out to carry out an important mission and was now reporting back to Lance.
"Thatd is so smart! He even uses another spirit maniptor as his bait to avoid more powerful
opponents. However, if he manages to enter the second round so easily, I will feel cheated!" Lance
paused for a moment and seemed to give the situation some thought. He then turned to the figure who
stood beside him, "Proceed as nned."
The figure nodded and disappeared without a sound.
Isis and Marin stared at each other when they heard Lance''s voice.
"What are you up to, father?" Isis asked. She knew her father well and she knew that the primary
purpose of thepetition was to discover Rocky''s true skill level and potential and then to promote
him. It then stood to reason that Lance would not allow Rocky to move to the next round without a fight
in the second half of the first round.

"Father, you seem unsatisfied with his performance so far," Isis said thoughtful.
Lance turned to nce at his daughter. A mischievous smile was on his lips yet he said nothing. He
stood up without warning and stepped forward a few steps. His body was suddenly surrounded by an
intense bluish light that represented his intense spiritual energy which was at the Divine Stage. The
people who saw this disy of power were immediately amazed.
In the blink of an eye, a gale materialized in the middle of the bamboo forest that shook everything
within the forest.
Lance then raised one of his hands and his spiritual energy moved like small waves that ovepped
each other continuously.
"Water Mirror Illusion!" Lance eximed. The aqua blue spiritual energy that built up in his hand flew to
the air and formed a water mirror which showed an empty bamboo forest.
Themanders and the officials seated behind Lance were all startled and confused.
The Water Mirror Illusion was a spiritual martial arts skill that could be used at a range of a few hundred
meters. The mirror was formed from the moisture in the air of the bamboo forest to disy what went
on inside the bamboo forest.
It consumed arge amount of spiritual power. Thus, Lance never used it under regr circumstances.
Those who knew about the mirror wondered why Lance used it now considering it consumed such a
After a few moments, the figure of a man appeared in the water mirror.
"Isn''t that the breeder from the northeast military camp?" someone said when he recognized Rocky in
the mirror.
Themanders and officials started to whisper among themselves. They never expected that the
purpose of using a technique that consumed a lot of spiritual energy was to merely watch Rocky.
Isis and Marin also looked puzzled. The suddenly had a feeling that something terrible was about to
happen to Rocky.
