Chapter 1752 Suspect


    "No. It was not canceled. They just need to double-check it," Rocky immediately corrected.


    "Ha-ha! Are you just trying tofort yourself? You''d better expect the worse already. Otherwise, if you


    found out that you cannot make it to the next round, you will just be more disappointed," Gloria teased,


    trying to get Rocky''s spirit down.


    "Why does it sound like you don''t want me to advance to the next round?"


    "Of course! After all, you might be one of the biggest obstacles that I have to face in this contest if I


    want to win," Gloria replied with all honesty.


    She knew how powerful Rocky was, and she assumed that he would be an even greater threat than


    Israel in thetter part of the tournament. After he exhibited such high potential in the Imperial Soul''s


    potential test, it only proved how frightening he was. Although they said that it needed to be double-


    checked, she thought that it was not just a coincidence. Hence, if there was a chance that Rocky would


    drop out now, she would be more at ease.


    "Ha-ha! So, you''re saying that you are afraid of me?"


    "Do not be mistaken. Of course, I am not afraid of you. What I am afraid of is that I might be


    hesitant if I have to face you in the final round. Can you see what you did to me? You should actually


    take responsibility for it," Gloria said with a wink, immediately leaning close to Rocky to cling unto him.


    However, right at this moment, the door of the room suddenly flew wide open. Then, Valeria rushed in


    and happened to see the intimate moment between Rocky and Gloria.


    "W-what are you two doing?" Valeria stammered so hard and could not help but have some

    inappropriate thoughts in her mind.


    "Don''t you know how to knock? You disturbed us!" Gloria was so annoyed that her moment with Rocky


    was interrupted.


    "I''m sorry. I thought Odin was the only one here…" Valeria said embarrassedly, not able to look them in


    the eye. She was actually in a hurry to find Rocky after she heard that his performance at the Imperial


    Soul potential test was canceled. She wanted tofort him because she thought that he would not be


    able to participate in the contest anymore.


    "Oh, you are here for me? Come on. Let''s talk outside." Rocky immediately took the chance to pull


    himself away from Gloria. Then, he quickly got out of the room.


    Seeing this, Valeria also followed him right away.


    "Humph! What does he think of me? Am I just an annoying fly? How dare he avoid me deliberately?"


    Gloriained nonstop after Rocky and Valeria got out of the room.


    "I am really sorry. Did I interrupt something just now?" Valeria was still fidgeting in awkwardness as she


    asked Rocky about what just happened when she entered the room earlier.


    "Hey, what exactly are you thinking about? My assistant is just a little weird and clingy at most times,"


    Rocky immediately tried to clear up the misunderstanding because he could guess what was running


    on her mind.


    "Humph! You''re so dense. I think it''s more than that. He definitely has some special feelings for you!"


    Valeria could not take it anymore and voiced out her spection.


    "Well, unfortunately for him, I am not into guys! So, he should learn to respect some boundaries,"


    Rocky replied with hints of irritation in his voice.


    "I see…" Valeria was actually relieved upon knowing that Rocky was not into some shady hobbies.


    "By the way, why do you want to see me?" Rocky asked, remembering that she was in a hurry when


    she got into the room.


    "Hmm, nothing serious. I just heard that something went wrong with your performance in the Imperial


    Soul potential test. So, I came to ask what happened."


    "Oh, that? Well, they are actually double-checking it right now." Then, Rocky continued, "If I am not


    mistaken, you must have controlled your potential to show at the premium grade of Earth Stage, right?"


    "Yes, that''s right. I really tried my best to control it, but the result still showed that I am at the primary


    grade of Heaven Stage."


    "Really? It''s just like what happened to me! I made sure that I suppressed my soul potential, but that


    still happened." Rocky surmised that he might have encountered the same incident as Valeria did.


    "Well, maybe. However, my test result was not canceled or needed to be double-checked."


    "Can you me them? I am only supposed to be primary-stage Spiritual Emperor but my soul potential


    actually reached the medium grade of Heaven Stage. Of course, it is kind of questionable. Anyway, it is


    good that you ranked high among the primary-stage Spiritual Emperors. You are sure to proceed to the


    next rounds," Rocky remarked.


    "Yeah, I''m not worried about myself. Right now, I''m more concerned about the rankings of the other


    Godly Geniuses." Since the other Godly Geniuses must have disguised their true identities as well, we


    don''t know who they are or what their rankings are.


    "I''ve also been looking into that. I believe that I can soon find out their identities in theing round.


    Now, all you need to do is focus on preparing for the next round. Be sure to get some good rest. We''ll


    never know when you might face one of the Godly Geniuses," Rocky urged.


    "You''re right. I will do that. Thank you." With just a simple nod, Valeria went straight back to her room.


    Then, two dayster, the formal results of the potential test were announced, and it took the crowd by


    storm.


    Among all the participants, seven of them showed a potential at the primary grade of Heaven Stage. As


    expected, Rocky was not among them.


    These seven were Michelle, Valeria, Seth, a medium-grade and premium-grade Spiritual Emperors


    from the human race, and two Spiritual Emperors from the spiritual race.


    For several people, it was not really surprising that many people showed a soul potential at the Heaven


    Stage. After all, these Spiritual Emperors were the elites of the human race and the spiritual race. It


    was just normal for them to be this powerful and talented.


    However, in the eyes of the discerning ones, the results gave a major hint. For example, Valeria was


    just a new Spiritual Emperor that no one had heard about before this contest. After the first two rounds,


    she was deemed as a dark horse because of her brilliant performances. Moreover, she was able to


    have a soul potential at the Heaven Stage even though she was just a primary-stage Spiritual Emperor.


    Therefore, the other Godly Geniuses in the contest already suspected her to be one of them.


    Meanwhile, in an abandoned house in the Boundless Manor, two figures suddenly appeared out of


    nowhere. They both wore masks as if they were trying to conceal their true identities.


    "Hey, Quentin. I saw that you did a good job in the first two rounds!" one of themmented.


    "Well, you are not bad yourself, Drew!" the other figure responded.


    "Ha-ha! It''s not like those trivial tests can pose a problem to us. No wonder the human race and the


    spiritual race are so weak! They already consider those tests as something very challenging! However,


    we cannot be rash, so we have to hide our real strength. So far, in the potential test, I have controlled


    and suppressed my potential right below the Heaven Stage. Those other Godly Geniuses should have


    no idea about identifying me," Drew said with a devious smile.


    "Yeah. I did the same. By the way, I''ve been doing some careful observations in the first two rounds,


    and I have listed some of the suspicious ones. If my hunch is correct, some of the Godly Geniuses


    must be disguising as these people. For example, Israel might be this high-level Spiritual Emperor from


    the human race," Quentin took out the list he was talking about and handed it to Drew while borating


    his spections.


    As Drew looked at the names of the people on the list, he bluntly suggested, "How about we kill them


    all? Not only can we reduce the number of our opponents in the contest, but we won''t also have to


    waste our time dragging them out one by one."


    "I already thought about that, but I''m afraid that it''s not the wisest thing to do. After all, we are in the


    territory of the human race. Even though they are supposed to be weaker creatures, there are several


    powerful masters here in the contest. With just the two of us, our strength might not be enough to fight


    all of them at once. I say we seek the best opportunity to wipe them out one by one without being


    noticed. It will take longer, but the rate of sess will be higher. Anyway, we will definitely find a lot of


    opportunities in the next rounds, so let us not be too hasty," Quentin exined his n in detail.


    "All right, I agree. However, I still think that we should prioritize searching for the Godly Genius of the


    Ghost Fief. Right now, that brat is in the limelight and he enjoys the highest reputation. Even Israel


    won''t be able topete with him. If we can eliminate him first, then everyone else would be an easy


    target." From Drew''s statement, it seemed that he really wanted to deal with Rocky as soon as


    possible.


    "Don''t worry. In fact, I already have a suspect in mind. However, it is still quite a long shot," Quentin


    said after thinking for a while.


    "Really? Who is it?" Drew asked impatiently.


    "Do you remember the Spiritual Emperor who showed a soul potential at the medium-grade of Heaven


    Stage? They said that the result was canceled and was now being double-checked. However, I have a


    feeling that it was not a simple coincidence…"
