Chapter 1479 Became The Hall Leader


    "It’s true! It’s the Thousand-star Swordsmanship! When did you learn it? And who taught you?"


    Harrison asked, bewildered at what he had just witnessed.


    "I got this swordsmanship thest time we went into the Martial Spirit Graveyard,” Rocky replied tly.


    Of course, he had alreadye up with an excuse beforehand.


    "The Martial Spirit Graveyard…" Harrison uttered with furrowed brows. But after thinking for a while, he


    thought that it was indeed possible for Rocky to acquire this swordsmanship in the graveyard because


    all of the previous sect leaders had gone there to cultivate. One of them might have left it there

    unknowingly.


    "Does this swordsmanship have anything to do with the Sword Spirit City?" Rocky asked, although he


    already had some knowledge regarding it.


    "I’ll tell you about itter. But remember, if someone asks you about this swordsmanship, tell him that


    you have just randomly learned it, or that you have created it yourself. Just don’t tell anyone that it’s the


    Thousand-star Swordsmanship. Do you understand?" Harrison warned.


    "All right. I got it." Rocky gave his word.


    "You can go ahead. I’m going to meet the sect leader now." Harrison knew that this matter should be


    urgently reported to Timothy. After all, it turned out that a spirit warrior, who was not a sect leader, was


    able to master the Thousand-star Swordsmanship. It was a huge deal for the Sword Spirit Sect, and if


    the news spread out, it would definitely cause a big mess. Some ns and sects coveted the unique


    sword skill and might take advantage of the situation.


    "Then, I’ll take my leave." Rocky bowed and eventually left.


    At the same time, Harrison immediately set out and flew towards the Sword Spirit Sect.


    After Harrison left, Rocky briefly stopped and looked at his receding figure. He then revealed a cunning


    smile, knowing what really was going on. ''It seems that everything is going my way. If my assumptions


    are correct, when the sect leader knows that I learned the swordsmanship, he will definitely give me


    special treatment. With that, I will be able to enter the Sword Spirit Sect freely, and a better cultivation


    environment would be waiting for me.''


    Rocky knew that even if he became the leader of the Security Hall, things might not go very smoothly


    for him. This time, he defeated Xavier again, and he believed that Miguel would be infuriated to the


    extreme. Although he thought that Miguel was a bit insignificant, he was still the godson of the sect


    leader, so he couldn’t underestimate his influence. Moreover, Rocky also discerned that after bing


    the leader of the Security Hall with minimal experience in the Sword Spirit City, he thought that several


    people would doubt his capability, and this, in turn, might be taken advantage of by the people who


    wanted to cause him trouble.


    The following day, on behalf of the Sword Spirit Sect, Harrison formally appointed Rocky as the next


    leader of the Security Hall of the Sword Spirit City. Thus, Rocky became the youngest leader in the


    history of the city. Of course, although Rocky obtained the position fair and square, in the eyes of the


    older generation, he was still a too young and inexperienced man who might not be very suitable for


    the job.


    Therefore, except for Harrison, the leaders of the other halls obviously had a condescending attitude


    towards Rocky. They didn''t want to take Rocky seriously, but the young man didn’t seem affected


    because he was expecting that this would happen.


    However, due to Rocky’s undeniably excellent performance in thepetition, he still attracted a lot of


    people’s attention, and many disciples regarded him as an inspiring figure—someone who started


    humbly but was able to attain great heights through hard work.


    Moreover, the happiest ones for Rocky’s achievements were Tessa and Ramon.


    In fact, after the appointment ceremony, Tessa and Ramon quickly approached Rocky to congratte


    him.


    "You really did it, huh? I guess I’ll have to call you ''leader'' from now on," Ramon said as he greeted


    Rocky. If this happened in the past, Ramon would be like the other hall leaders who wouldn’t recognize


    Rocky. However, since he had gone through many ordeals with the young man, especially with the


    training in the ck-devouring Swamp, he had learned to admire Rocky to the extreme. Furthermore,


    in the battle against Xavier, if it wasn’t for Rocky, he would have been dead already.


    "Ha-ha. That’s unnecessary. I would still like you to call me by my name. Besides, I’m going to name


    you as the deputy leader," Rocky responded with a smile.


    "What? Deputy leader? That position isn’t being used for a long time. The Security Hall is only


    have a deputy leader. If you suddenly make that decision, I’m afraid that people would have a lot to


    say. So, while I appreciate the thought, I suggest that you don’t try it," Ramon exined.


    "That changes today. Because from here on, I will be merging the two teams of the Security Hall.


    Xavier has suffered severe injuries and might take at least a year to recover and resume his duties.


    Without a captain, the Wolf Team wouldn’t be able to function properly. That’s why I will propose to


    merge the Cloudlet Team and the Wolf Team. While I take the role of the leader, I shall appoint you as


    the deputy leader. Also, you don’t need to worry about it because the sect leader has already approved


    my n," Rocky remarked.


    "Really? You already talked to the sect leader? That’s great then! Congrattions, Ramon! You’re


    going to be the deputy leader of the Security Hall," Tessa said with much tion. Back then, she


    already knew Ramon, but it was only when they fought side by side in the ck-devouring Swamp that


    she really got to know his character. As they battled life and death together, they naturally established a


    deeper bond.


    "Well, if that’s the case, I’ll dly ept it. Thank you for trusting me." Since Ramon heard that even


    the sect leader had no qualms about it, he had no objection to what Rocky wanted.


    "All right. Tessa, you can go home now. Ramon and I still need to go back to the Security Hall to deal


    with the merging of the guards of the hall," Rocky urged. After he became the leader of the Security


    Hall, Rocky’s momentum and aura had somehow be different—or rather returned to how it was.


    He was still Prince Basil, the one who once led the enormous army of the human race and the spiritual


    race of the Wild Spirit Land. However, in order to not arouse any suspicion, he had to deliberately


    restrain himself and hide this side of him the first time he got to the Sword Spirit City. But now that he


    had be a leader again, he didn’t have to worry too much about exhibiting his authority.


    "Fine. But don''t forget toe by to teach me the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill!" Tessa said


    as she pouted.


    "I won''t. I just have to finish some work before I go to your pavilion." Rocky nodded and reassured her.


    With that, Tessa left with a satisfied smile on her face.


    "If the sect leader sees that Miss Tessa has been so obedient to you, he will probably feel very


    relieved," Ramon said with a sigh.


    "Huh? What do you mean?" Rocky asked.


    "You might not know, but before you came to the city, Miss Tessa was a famous troublemaker, and she


    wouldn’t listen to anyone, not even to her father. But since you’ve been close to each other, she seems


    to have changed a lot, especially since she started learning the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill


    from you. She''s just way too different than before," Ramon said with honesty.


    “Oh, really? I didn’t know. Well, it must be because of my wily charms! Ha-ha! I think you also changed


    a lot. At least, you don’t dislike me so much now!” Rocky said, grabbing the chance to tease Ramon.


    “Ahem! I still hate you when you’re like this,” Ramon retorted, feeling embarrassed. After all, Rocky was


    right. He was indeed harsh to the young man before, but it was just reasonable since Rocky was a


    mere stranger who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But now, he had fully trusted him with all his


    life.


    Afterward, Rocky and Ramon went to the Security Hall to gather the members of the two teams and


    announced the merging of the guards publicly. As soon as they heard the news, the members of the


    Wolf Team trembled in fear. Now that Rocky had be their leader, they assumed that their lives


    would be miserable because they had offended him a lot of times before. Hence, they believed


    that Rocky would use this opportunity to get back at them.


    "Members of the Wolf Team, although I am the hall leader now, I strongly suggest that you put the


    misunderstandings between us in the past behind you. I only ask you to obey me and the deputy leader


    from now on. I’ll be sure to be fair to everyone. Those who disobey the orders would be punished, and


    there shall be no exception!" Rocky, who used to be in charge of thousands of troops, knew what the


    members of the Wolf Team were thinking, so he quickly put their minds at ease.


    Upon hearing this, the members of the Wolf Team were able to breathe a sigh of relief. With this


    gesture, they started admiring Rocky from the bottom of their hearts. Even the ones who were loyal to


    Xavier didn’t try to do anything reckless. After all, Rocky had already given them a chance. If they went


    against him again, they knew that they would really suffer some dire consequences.


    After the announcement, Rocky also dered that Ramon would be the deputy leader, and that he


    would also be in charge of the affairs of the Security Hall. This meant that Ramon’s words were just


    equivalent to Rocky’s.


    Behind it all, the main reason why Rocky wanted to be the leader of the hall was not because of


    umting power. It was because he knew that with this position, he could easily acquire more


    information about the Ethereal Region, thus giving him the opportunity to find the whereabouts of


    Marcia and the others. Therefore, the Security Hall was just a stepping stone for him.


    After sessfully dealing with the affairs of the Security Hall, Rocky left the other tasks to Ramon and


    went out of the hall.


    As soon as he got out of the guard hall, he saw Hannah in a fascinating green dress, walking towards


    him.


    “Miss Hannah, it’s been a while. What are you doing here? I don’t think that there is any escorting


    mission today,” Rocky asked as he greeted her.


    “Well, I’m actually here for you,” Hannah said abruptly.


    “Me? What can I do for you?” Rocky asked.


    "Nothing much. I actually came to see the governor, and then I heard that you have been officially


    appointed as the leader of the Security Hall, so I wanted to congratte you." Recently, Hannah’s


    impression of Rocky had also improved a lot. Especially after what he had done for Ally, she became


    friendlier towards the young man.


    "Oh, you don’t need to. But anyway, thank you, Miss Hannah. I’m actually ttered," Rocky replied with


    a sincere smile.


    "Well, of course, you have to thank me. After all, if I hadn’t pick you up before, you wouldn’t end up in


    this position," Hannah teased with a charming smile. Seeing that there was no one around, she let


    herself befortable around Rocky.
