Chapter 1524 His Bigger Goal
Not long after, the sixteen disciples left the ck Abyss Cave one after another and presented
themselves to the spectators, who had waited a long time outside the cave for that moment.
Moore came out first. His Spiritual Infant was at the peak of the medium stage. In the second round of
the melee, no one dared to go against him, so he won a ce in the next round without a fight.
Two more disciples came out after Moore, both of them having a Spiritual Infant at the middle stage.
These two also performed splendidly, so most of the people had expected this oue. They were
allowed to join the third round now and even had the chance topete for first ce in the neer
contest.
The disciples with primary Spiritual Infant came out next. However, they had been in school for at least
half a year, so they already had some qualifications.
Before long, most of the disciples who stood out in the second round had alreadye out of the cave,
while Eunice and Ca made up the rear.
Once the two girls exited the cave, they naturally attracted a lot of attention, as they were also the only
female disciples who had stayed in the second round. Moreover, they were both breathtakingly
beautiful.
Of course, Ca''s strength needed no introduction. She was regarded as a seeded disciple from the
very beginning, which was a stark contrastpared to Eunice.
Eunice came as a surprise because she was a rtively new disciple who had just entered the Sky-
suppressing School, and her registered strength was only at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant.
With such an identity and strength, none of them had expected her to be able to enter the third round.
"Where is Basil? Did he get eliminated?"
Ca anxiously wondered as she nced around the disciples who had juste out. However, she
didn''t find Rocky. Her delicate shoulders sagged lower, showing her disappointment.
"That''s strange. Why isn''t Hayden there either?
Even though Basil drew Hayden and his twopanions away, he wouldn''t be able to defeat three of
them at the same time. And Hayden should be able to enter the third round with his strength!"
Eunice noticed that Hayden and his twopanions, who Rocky distracted earlier, hadn''t passed the
second round either.
At this point, people were also whispering to each other curiously, as they had also noticed that only a
few dozen disciples had exited the cave. They, too, felt that something was off because thirty-two
disciples should have passed the second round ofpetition ording to the arrangement of the
neer contest. These students would then proceed to thest stage. However, only a few dozen
had passed.
Felton soon appeared in front of everyone. He exined to the crowd that he made a temporary
decision during the contest''s second round because of an ident. This, of course, caused a
commotion.
"Elder Felton, someone is missing," someone reported to Felton.
It seemed that the masters had checked the list of disciples in the third round and realized that only
fifteen disciples had made it out of the cave.
Upon hearing this, all the spectators nced at each other in confusion. It appeared that the masters
had expected to find sixteen students outside, but after counting, they only found fifteen students in
front of them. One person was indeed missing.
"There''s one more?
Who is it?
Does anybody know?"
Felton fired off question after question, frowning in consternation.
"ording to the elimination list, Basil should be thest disciple to enter the third round," a master
replied.
"Basil passed?"
Felton was slightly surprised to hear Rocky''s name because it sounded familiar to him.
He had heard of him before, as he was the disciple who had defeated Hayden and the two other
disciples.
However, the surrounding people hadn''t heard of the name of Basil, so he was virtually unknown to
them.
"Did they say Basil''s name?
So, he has also reached the end and entered the third round!" Both Eunice and Ca were astonished
but pleased to hear that.
"I''m sorry; I''mte." The next moment, a figure abruptly flew out of the ck Abyss Cave andnded
gently in front of everyone. He exuded a certain grace that better belonged on a stage.
All the people present studied this figure intently, their eyes roving over him and cataloging what they
could see. It was none other than Rocky. He finally made it!
The onlookers erupted in an uproar because they observed that Rocky''s strength was ridiculously low.
He had the weakest strength of the sixteen participants in the third round, not to mention, the whole
neer contest. But this perplexed the people because there must be some kind of exnation. He
couldn''t have passed to the third round with such strength!
Of course, if they had seen with their own eyes how he had defeated two high-level spiritual beasts
with one move of a high-level sword skill in the first round, they would not have doubted him so.
Felton studied Rocky keenly with his eyes that seemed to see through Rocky''s soul. And then he
nkly announced to everyone, "The second round of thepetition is over, and these sixteen
disciples who have passed will continue to the third round. Thepetition willmence the day
after tomorrow. I hope you can continue to work hard and strive for the best results."
After saying that, he left right away.
Once Felton had gone, the eliminated disciples also left the cave one after another, including Hayden
and his twopanions, whom Rocky had defeated.
But when the three of themid eyes on Rocky, they drew back, shaking with fear. They didn''t even
dare to breathe heavily and quickly left his vicinity.
A sh of resentment crossed Hayden''s face, but he knew well that Rocky had hidden his strength.
Even if he fought against Rocky head-on, it wouldn''t do him any good.
Both Eunice and Ca also noticed the dejected expression of the three men, which only served to
surprise and confuse them. They couldn''t help but wonder what had happened after Rocky drew the
three men away, and why the three men were eliminated while Rocky had entered the third round.
Just as the two women''s curiosity was about to get the better of them, Rocky stole away, leaving them
no chance to get some answers.
Rocky disappeared for the next two days. In fact, he didn''t show up until half an hour before the
neer contest''s third round started.
"Where have you been?!"
Eunice was greatly relieved once Rocky reappeared. She had been worried that Hayden and the
others might have retaliated against him, so she felt restless and anxious.
"I found a ce to cultivate in seclusion, so I stayed there the whole time,"
Rocky replied, shrugging indifferently.
"Shut up! Why did you have to cultivate in seclusion?
That doesn''t make any sense," grumbled Eunice in dissatisfaction.
"Have they released thepetition''s match-up list yet?"
Ignoring Eunice''s protest, Rocky didn''t borate on his exnation and instead opted to ask for
updates.
"Yes, it just came out. We are in two different groups, and Moore is in my group. It seems that I have to
go all out. If I can defeat him, I will surely be the champion of thispetition!"
Her eyes twinkled with confidence and firm resolution. Although she knew that Moore was stronger
than her, she still wouldn''t give up without a fight.
"What about Ca?" Rocky asked casually.
"She is in your group, and she will likely stand out among the others in your group,"
Eunice predicted boldly.
"You think so?"
A faint smile yed on Rocky''s lips as he added, "Then I''ll have a casualpetition."

"It''s all up to you because your task in the neer contest has already beenpleted.
Anyway, I don''t expect you to reach the top of the neer contest," replied Eunice indifferently.
Rocky nodded at this and then proceeded to the field where his group was allocated.
Contrary to what he told Eunice, he didn''t intend to treat this round lightly because he had a bigger
goal, which was to win first ce in the neer contest. That was because, in the two days that he
had been cultivating in seclusion, he had gained new progress within the Scarlet Heaven Jade. Also,
he activated his Spiritual Infant further and was only one step away from the advanced
stage.
