Chapter 1525 Something Was Wrong


    For the nextpetition, the disciples were then divided into two groups of eight. The finalists would be


    determined from the two groups.


    Of course, it went without saying that the neer disciples who had made it thus far were


    undoubtedly powerful. It was believed that Moore would win the championship, though Ca also had a


    fighting chance. After all, the two of them were the strongest throughout the neer contest. They


    weren''t in the same group, which meant it was likely they would be the ones facing each other in the


    final battle.


    However, there was also talk of a dark horse among the top sixteen disciples. Eunice was the


    candidate, since she was one of two new disciples who had made it to thest rung of thepetition.


    She managed to stand out even though she was new; anyone could see that she was extremely


    talented.


    The other new disciple was Rocky.


    Although Rocky had a very remarkable performance in the second round, especially when he defeated


    three disciples at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant like Hayden. The matter was not known to


    many people in the Sky-suppressing School, because Hayden had already sent people to seal off the


    news from the public. And the masters of the school didn''t spread the news and just pretended that the


    matter didn''t happen, due to the suppression from the force of the Summer Pce. As a result, almost


    no one knew how strong Rocky was. In their opinion, it was pure luck for him to be one of the top


    sixteen disciples, and he would soon be eliminated in the followingpetition.


    The two groups of disciples were to fight one-on-one battles. Rocky''s group went first.


    Inside thepetition area, four arenas of the same size were lined up one by one. Outside the


    arenas, a sea of people had gathered to watch how thepetition would unfold.


    The four battles in the first round of thepetition would be held simultaneously. The determined


    winners from those battles would then move on to the next round of thepetition in the afternoon.


    From there, the finalists would participate in thest battle.


    Therefore, each round was incredibly important to the sixteen disciples. They could afford no moment


    of carelessness, and would have to fight to the best of their abilities with each round if they wanted to


    make it to the final battle.


    Just then, the eight disciples from the first group were preparing for the first round.


    Unfortunately for Rocky, his opponent was a disciple with Spiritual Infant at the medium stage. He was


    one of the only two disciples at that level besides Moore and Ca.


    "No wonder Eunice asked me to not take this fight so seriously," Rocky said with a smile, eyeing his


    unexpectedly powerful opponent. "She didn''t think I had a chance!"


    Rocky''s opponent, the disciple in yellow, also stared at him, but his eyes were hostile, as though he


    hated Rocky from the depths of his being.


    Rocky, noticing his opponent''s death re, immediately figured out what that meant: the disciple in


    yellow was working for Hayden.


    Just as Rocky had guessed, Hayden watched the two from his seat in the audience, smiling sinisterly.


    Squinting at Rocky''s figure, he sneered, "Finally, that brat will get what he deserves!"


    Half an hourter, the four battles in the first round of thepetition began.


    The eight disciples, including Rocky, all entered their respective arenas, preparing to fight against their


    opponents.


    Rocky faced the disciple in yellow and bowed slightly.


    "Let''s begin!" Rocky said, cupping his hands politely.


    The disciple in yellow also raised his hand as though to return the gesture, but instead, heunched a


    surprise attack. That left Rocky with no time to respond. Before he knew it, the disciple in yellow had


    his arms raised like wings, white spider threads shooting out madly. In the blink of an eye, the spider


    threads had coiled around Rocky''s hands and feet, restricting his movements.


    Rocky narrowed his eyes and struggled to break free, only to find that the threads were getting tighter


    and tighter.


    "Humph, don''t even try," the disciple in yellow sneered. "At your level of strength, there''s no way you


    can break out of my spider threads. But that doesn''t mean I''ll let you surrender right away. After all,


    Master Hayden asked me to teach you a good lesson!" With the flick of his wrist, the threads wrapped


    around Rocky felt like sharp des, slicing into his clothes.


    In everyone''s eyes, it seemed Rocky had no choice but to wait helplessly until he was totally defeated.

    Disappointed, the audience started booing. They all felt Rocky was too weak and was unworthy to be


    among the top sixteen disciples.


    Even Eunice shook her head. At that rate, Rocky had no way to turn the tables. After all, his opponent''s


    strength was above his. Moreover, he was not prepared for the spiritual skill used by his opponent. The


    result was not hard to imagine!


    Just when everyone thought the battle was over, the Mystical Dragon Sword on Rocky''s back suddenly


    buzzed and was unsheathed. Several rays of sharp sword radiance shed out from it, slicing the


    threads that were wrapped around Rocky''s body.


    The crowd broke into an uproar. The spider threads were so tough, ordinary Spiritual Weapons could


    not cut them off. However, Rocky''s seemingly dull huge sword made it look so easy!


    Without a moment to lose, the Mystical Dragon Sword then whizzed through the air, aiming straight at


    the disciple in yellow.


    The disciple had been under the impression he''d defeat Rocky with one fell swoop, so he was not


    prepared for Rocky''s counterattack. Before he even realized what was happening, the Mystical Dragon


    Sword rammed into him.


    A strong spiritual light shed, momentarily blinding everyone watching. When their vision cleared, they


    found the disciple, flung back ten meters, kneeling on the ground and spitting blood.


    Everyone was stunned. No one saw thating.


    They didn''t expect Rocky was so remarkable. Not only did he emerge from the first attack unscathed,


    but he also managed to seriously injure his opponent!


    "Why do I get the feeling that this guy grew stronger the past two days?" Eunice couldn''t help but


    mutter.


    On the arena, Rocky watched his opponent calmly.


    "Damn it!" The disciple in yellow spat, obviously humiliated. After all, he was injured by a new disciple


    who was weaker than him. In his anger, the spiritual power in his body grew irritable. His eyes were


    instantly bloodshot, and a ck gas suddenly started to enshroud his body. Everyone watching


    trembled with fear.


    Rocky frowned slightly. Something was wrong with his opponent...


    Sure enough, the disciple suddenly roared and pounced on Rocky like a wild beast. At the same time,


    his originally pure spiritual power was filled with the strong evil aura, which indicated he was spiraling


    into utter madness.
