Chapter 1444 He Garnered Much Attention


    "Are you really so confident?" Ramon''s eyes narrowed when he heard Rocky''s boastful remarks.


    "Of course. I never pick a fight I can lose. Plus, the thought of fighting Xavier tomorrow makes me a


    little excited..." Rocky replied with a smirk on his face.


    Ramon still watched Rocky under a suspicious gaze.


    "But thank you for reminding me!" Rocky broke the silence.


    "It seems that I don''t have to say anything more." After that, Ramon left the beast farm and sighed. ''If


    this guy is not a madman, then he really is quite special,'' he thought to himself.


    The next day,


    the town was buzzing in anticipation to see who would win the decisive battle to determine who would


    enter the Martial Spirit Graveyard.


    The arena was jam packed with people itching to watch the fight.


    Many notable figures also came to watch, such as Harrison, the governor of the Sword Spirit City, and


    Timothy Qiu, the leader of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Timothy Qiu had a serious look on his bearded face. His long hair hung down his shoulders, touching


    his white robe with golden silks. A red phoenix could be seen on his robe and a purple belt was

    wrapped around his waist. He exuded a strong spiritual aura, which made him appear noble and


    powerful.


    Aside from the two, several elders and five leaders of the Sword Spirit Sect were also present. It was


    apparent that the Sword Spirit Sect was keeping a close eye on the decisive battle.


    Of course, the disciples who were able to win first ce in thepetition and qualify to enter the


    Martial Spirit Graveyard were the strongest among their peers. It was only natural for them to be valued


    by the leaders.


    If one could be famous through thepetition, they would definitely gain a foothold in the Sword


    Spirit Sect in the future.


    Since Rocky was about to enter the battle as the dark horse, he had already garnered much attention.


    Everyone in the Sword Spirit City was buzzing about his amazing performance, which caught the eye


    of the Sword Spirit Sect.


    Therefore, even the sect leader, Timothy Qiu, paid attention to him. As soon as he took his seat, he


    asked Hannah who was sitting next to him, "Hannah, I heard from Harrison that this disciple who got


    the chance to participate in the decisive battle is called Basil and you brought him back before, right?"


    "Yes." Hannah nodded slightly.


    "Were you aware of his strength beforehand?" Timothy Qiu continued to ask.


    "No, I didn''t know how powerful he truly is." Hannah shook her head.


    "So he hid his real strength on purpose before he entered the Sword Spirit City. Is that right?


    Otherwise, how could he possess the strength to take part in such a crucial battle in only a few


    months?" Timothy Qiu''s curiosity was piqued.


    "I have no idea. I never even thought of questioning him before. He just looks like an ordinary person.


    In fact, the governor had tested him before, but even he didn''t find out that Basil was hiding his true


    strength," Hannah answered.


    "Oh really?" Timothy Qiu then turned to look at Harrison.


    "It''s true. I tried my best to test him, but I didn''t find any spiritual power fluctuations from his body,"


    Harrison confirmed.


    "Leader, I think he must have other ulterior intentions. He is a cunning man. We can''t let him stay in our


    Sword Spirit Sect," Miguel suddenly butted in. A malicious look could be seen deep inside his eyes.


    "You don''t have any evidence. Stop talking such nonsense!" Hannah retorted as she shot an angry look


    at him with her beautiful eyes.


    "Do we even need evidence for this sort of thing?" Miguel snorted.


    "You..." That struck Hannah''s nerves. After all, she was the one who brought Rocky back.


    "Stop arguing. There are only two possible reasons as to why Harrison can''t figure out his real strength.


    One is that he is stronger than Harrison, but I find that unlikely. The other is that he is not a real spirit


    warrior but he may have a special talent," Timothy Qiu said after thinking for a while.


    "I think it is very likely that the second possibility is right, because Basil said that he came from a vige


    at the border, which is close to the domain of the Shura Race. Plus, he seems to be a beast curer.


    When Tessa''s Nightshade was seriously injured, even the best beast curer of our Sword Spirit City was


    unable to heal it. It is Basil who saved it using a special method," Hannah said after hesitating for a


    moment. She tried her best to put in a good word for Rocky.


    "Really? It seems that he is very remarkable. However, he has only been in our Sword Spirit Sect for


    less than three months but he has already gotten so powerful. That is what I find very strange. But it


    doesn''t matter. What matters is his background!" Timothy Qiu decided not to waste any more time


    thinking about it.


    "Although we don''t know anything about him, he did save my life after all. If he really has any intention


    to harm the Sword Spirit Sect, he might not have taken the risk to save me back then." Hannah still


    tried her best to defend Rocky.


    "Perhaps it''s a part of his n! We can''t dismiss the fact that there is a chance he is a spy sent by the


    Robber Regiment..." Miguel said insidiously.


    "It''s impossible. If he is a spy of the Robber Regiment, he should''ve handed me over to them," Hannah


    retorted. She thought Miguel''s ims werepletely unreasonable.


    "I have already nned to investigate him after thepetition for the qualification is over," Harrison


    said to Timothy Qiu.


    "Then please try your best to deal with this." Timothy Qiu nodded. In his opinion, that was only a trivial


    matter.


    Half an hourter, the decisive battle started, greeted with the deafening roar of the audience.


    When Rocky and Xavier walked into the field from both ends of thepetition area, they instantly


    locked eyes on each other. A tense atmosphere immediately filled the arena.


    Everyone was at the edge of their seats.


    "Captain Xavier, I didn''t expect that we would fight each other in the end..." Rocky calmly looked at


    Xavier who had a grudge against him.


    "I also didn''t expect it. It seems that you are really something, but today I will definitely make you kneel


    in front of me!" Xavier said arrogantly.


    "Well, that depends on how strong you are!" Rocky raised his eyebrows and smiled. He found no


    reason to hide his true strength anymore.


    "Humph, what an arrogant brat. I''d like to see how long you can keep that up!" Seeing how confident


    Rocky was struck Xavier''s nerves. He wanted nothing more than to make Rocky suffer.


    As the sounds of drums and gongs rang out, the decisive battle officially began.


    Almost in an instant, the spiritual swords behind Rocky and Xavier flew up and collided with each other


    midair. A fierce battle between the two soon followed.


    Since Rocky was the neer, he didn''t know any profound sword skills in the Sword Spirit City. In


    terms of sword skills, Xavier undoubtedly surpassed him.


    However, Rocky was able to trade blow for blow with his opponent, which surprised everyone who was


    watching.


    The grueling battlested for an hour. As soon as one side was about to win, the other suddenly


    managed to turn the tables. No one was sure who woulde out on top.
