Chapter 1804 In Vain


    "Gloria won''t warn Valeria. It seems that I will have to go to Valeria and Lilith myself." Since Rocky had


    already finished his business here, he hurriedly left and disappeared.


    First, Rocky went to see Lilith. As she was practicing her spiritual skills in her yard, he appeared to her


    as Basil.


    Upon seeing him, Lilith could not help but blush a little. "Basil, it''s already toote. Why are you here?


    Anything happened?"


    "Why? Can''t Ie and visit if I don''t have anything important to discuss with you?" Rocky asked with


    a gentle smile.


    "Um, do you want to go inside first?" Lilith asked in a shy tone.


    "No. It won''t be necessary. After all, I won''t be here for long." Rocky shook his head as he refused.


    Moreover, he also thought that it would be inappropriate for him to enter Lilith''s residence thiste in


    the night.


    "Okay then." Realizing what a gentleman Rocky was, Lilith looked up to him with an inexplicable


    brilliance in her eyes.


    "By the way, I just want to know. Why you gave up the fight earlier today?" Rocky asked out of


    nowhere.


    "Hmm, no reason really. I just don''t want to fight against you," Lilith answered honestly. Besides, she


    also knew that Rocky should be much stronger than her. Hence, she did not want to waste both their


    time and hurt each other in the process.


    "Really? That''s it? Well, anyway, thank you for doing that."


    "Ha-ha. There is no need for you to thank me. In fact, I already told you that I don''t care much about


    the result of the Spiritual Emperor Contest. If it were not for my father forcing me to participate, I would


    not even want to be here. But of course, I really found the trails in the Holy Heaven Pce to be worth


    it!" If there was any constion for her participation in the contest, it was the experience and


    attainments she acquired from the Holy Heaven Pce.


    "I see. It is surprising that you have this kind of thinking at your age." Rocky actually appreciated Lilith''s


    attitude because she knew what really was important.


    "When you say it like that, you sound like an old man," Lilithined as she put her hands on her


    waist.


    Hearing this, Rocky smiled inwardly. After all, the experiences he had in his entire life were not actually


    in line with his current age.


    "Also, you did note just to thank me, right? It''s okay. You don''t have to beat around the bush."


    Obviously, Lilith was smart enough toprehend that Rocky had something else to tell her if he had


    toe and see her at this time.


    "Yes. I am actually here to warn you to be extra careful in your next matches. They might not be very


    merciful to you," Rocky reminded as neutral as he could sound.


    "I see. Of course, I will. Thank you for your concern." As Lilith saw the serious expression on Rocky''s


    face, she knew that there must be a specific reason why he was warning her. But since he tried to


    sound rather vaguely, she was sharp enough to assume that he could not freely tell the reason. So, she


    decided not to pry anymore.


    "That''s all. I''ll take my leave." Afterward, Rocky turned around and eventually left.


    While looking at Rocky''s back, Lilith was a bit lost in her own thoughts.


    Then, soon enough, Rocky also appeared to Valeria but as Odin this time. He also told her the same


    thing that he had told Lilith.


    The following day, the battlesmenced.


    This time, Rocky''s opponent was a high grade Spiritual Emperor from the Sovereign Pavilion named


    Iker. He was a famous poison master in the Ethereal Region.


    However, as they met inside the stage, Rocky could immediately tell from Iker''s eyes that he had


    enormous killing intent. Hence, he knew that this battle would not be as easy as the previous ones.


    This time, he was facing a powerful premium-stage Spiritual Emperor who was ready to kill his


    opponent.


    At this point, Rocky had already won three consecutive matches. Since he was only supposed to be a


    medium-grade Spiritual Emperor, many people saw his performances as quite abnormal. Therefore, in


    this match, there were even more people in the crowd, curious to see if Rocky could really emerge as


    the dark horse of thepetition.


    Soon enough, the gongs rang out, signaling the beginning of the battle. As expected, Iker immediately


    launched a series of powerful attacks right from the start. He constantly unleashed his hidden weapons


    that were stained with poison and threw them at Rocky.


    The most frightening thing about Iker was not his poisonous hidden weapons but that his spiritual


    power was also poisonous. Therefore, even if Rocky was fast enough to dodge the weapons hurled at


    him, he also could not easily approach Iker because he would be poisoned by his spiritual power.


    Moreover, Iker''s poison was so potent that it could prate one''s skin and enter the bloodstream.


    Once that happened, it could instantly affect the cirction of one''s spiritual power and weaken their


    strength. Worst, his opponent could be poisoned to death in just a few moments.


    Therefore, it would not be that easy for Rocky to make a move and deal with Iker.


    Of course, with Rocky''s current strength, he should be naturally immune to all kinds of poisons.


    However, he could not expose his real strength in front of the crowd this early. So, for now, he could


    only dodge Iker''s weapons and spiritual power with all his might. He wanted to deceive the audience


    and even Iker with his acting.


    After quite some time, Iker was still doing his best to suppress Rocky through his hidden weapons. At


    the same time, Rocky also pretended that he had been losing ground, unable to fight back anymore.


    Seeing this disappointing scene, the onlookers started to shake their heads. They thought that this


    must have been Rocky''s limitation and real strength. They assumed that Rocky was just able to win the


    previous rounds because of sheer luck. But now that he had encountered an opponent that he could


    not even get near to, they all thought that he was doomed.


    "Iker''s fighting style is really troublesome for his opponents. He canpletely suppress them just by


    using his poisonous hidden weapons!"


    "We must have been wrong all along. It seems that Basil is not that powerful!" "Well, he is just a


    medium-grade Spiritual Emperor. He must have been just lucky to win three consecutive battles. After


    all, it is impossible to easily defeat someone much stronger than him."


    "One thing is clear. I think his streak will end this time!"


    At this time, among the onlookers that were discussing with each other were the representatives from


    various forces. These people had a better understanding of one''s strength, so they were not just blindly


    judging.


    Of course, for Iker, he was also confident that he could defeat Rocky. Moreover, he was extra


    determined because it was Holden''s order to find an opportunity to kill Rocky. Even if he could not kill


    Rocky, he could at least make him disabled for life.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    For this reason, Iker had crafted and prepared a very unique kind of poison. The moment this poison


    made contact with Rocky, it would prate his meridians and destroy them in less than ten minutes.


    Consequently, his spiritual power would be lost, making him unable to be a warrior anymore.


    Most importantly, Iker made sure that there was no antidote for this poison. Therefore, the moment


    Rocky was poisoned, his victory was already sealed and his mission waspleted.


    However, the materials used to make this rare poison were also scarce. Hence, Iker only had one


    chance to use it.


    But it seemed that he would have no problem finding the opportunity to use the poison. Under his


    aggressive attacks, Rocky seemed to be getting weaker and weaker by the moment.


    Deeming that it was already the perfect chance, Iker immediately shot out the sharp hidden weapon,


    which was stained by the rare poison, to corrode Rocky''s meridians.


    The next moment, Rocky let out a scream while putting his hand on his shoulder. Afterward, he knelt on


    the ground as if he was actually hit by the poisonous hidden weapon.


    Upon seeing this, the spectators instantly knew that the fight was done.


    At the same time, Iker also sneered and was very pleased. After all, he did not realize that it was just a


    part of Rocky''s convincing act. Not knowing that he was already caught in a trap, Iker immediately flew


    towards Rocky. Then, he raised his palm in the air, instantly manipting a poisonous palm shadow to


    rush towards Rocky.


    At this moment, Rocky was still kneeling on the ground, looking very weak and powerless. From the


    audience''s eyes, he was in a life-threatening position.


    However, just as the poisonous palm shadow was about to reach Rocky, his figure suddenly flickered


    and vanished from where he was kneeling. The speed he exhibited was so fast that both Iker and the


    crowd were caught off guard.


    Before Iker could react, Rocky had already appeared in front of him. Then, Rocky put his fingers before


    Iker''s face, showing that the poisonous hidden weapon that he had thrown earlier was actually


    sandwiched between them. Furthermore, it was wrapped by a stream of spiritual power. Hence, it did


    not make contact with Rocky at all.


    "You tricked me! You were not poisoned!" It was not until then that Iker discovered what Rocky really


    did. He was just acting all this time that he was hurt by the poisonous hidden weapon.


    Realizing this, Iker wanted to get far from Rocky as quickly as possible. However, his face turned


    ghastly pale when he noticed that his body was not obeying hismand and that it was so hard for


    him to move. At this point, Rocky''s overbearing spiritual power suppressed him.


    Iker was so confused because he thought that Rocky''s strength should not be that strong. Of course,


    even though he wanted to figure out the reason why, it would already be meaningless.
