Chapter 1441 Rocky Entered The Second Round

The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim as they marveled at Omar's staggering skill. For the people
watching, this sword attack was incomparably fast and should be able to defeat his opponent in the
blink of an eye. However, Rocky begged to differ. Indeed, he was also surprised by its speed, but it was
nothing alarming that he wouldn't be able to dodge it with ease. Thus, when the newcomer evaded it
effortlessly, the spectators' eyes widened in disbelief.

They were so hyped and confident by Omar's skill that they assumed that Rocky just dodged it by mere
luck. In fact, they bet on it that on the next strike, he wouldn't be able to escape from it.

On the other hand, even Omar didn't expect that his first strike would miss its target. After all, his first
sword strike was designed to take his opponent by surprise. Normally, it was the most difficult to
defend, but Rocky made it look so easy.

Soon enough his Lightning Sword made a sharp turn in the air and transformed into vicious lightning
shadows again. Then, it bolted out and darted towards Rocky. This time, it was faster and fiercer. As
the crowd saw this, there was no doubt in their minds that it should take Rocky down in an instant.

"Basil, watch out!" Tessa, who turned out to be watching on the ringside, shouted loudly. Although she
said the last time they met that she didn't want to talk to him ever again, she was still there, watching
his battle. Rocky might have entered the final round and was supposed to be stronger than what he
pretended to be, but the warriors that he was going to face from here on were among the top disciples
of the Sword Spirit City. Hence, she couldn't help but worry about him.

Moreover, Tessa wasn't alone. Ramon, who was standing not far away from her, was also paying a lot
of attention to Rocky's fight.

Additionally, Hannah was also there, sitting next to the big shots of the Sword Spirit Sect, like Harrison.
From time to time, it could be seen that her face let out a frown when Rocky seemed to be in an
unfavorable position. Obviously, she also cared about his safety.



Soon, there was another uproar that came from the crowd around the ring where Rocky and Omar
fought. Apparently, Omar's second strike, which was supposed to be more aggressive and intense, was
completely avoided by Rocky again.

Among the seventh grade Spirit Realm disciples in the Sword Spirit City, only a few of them had
actually dodged Omar's fast sword attacks without getting hurt.

Because of this, Omar felt a hint of panic. Rocky could have dodged the first strike by luck, but there
was no way that it was still the case for the second one. It just meant that he was on the level that
could really match his sword's speed. However, he was still confident because among the opponents
that he faced, no one was able to get away from his third strike unscathed.

Therefore, Omar wasted no time and controlled his spiritual sword again, which broke through the air
and even made the wind whistle. At that point, the speed of his sword strike was already at the highest
degree.

Giving Rocky no time to prepare, the sword strike shot out rapidly and chased after him. Just as the
sword was just less than half a finger away from him, Rocky's body quickly maneuvered again at an
unimaginable angle just to get past the sword strike. However, this time, he wasn't able to fully dodge it
without getting hit. A part of his clothes was instantly cut by the aura surrounding the sword, but at the
same time, the spiritual power around Rocky's body deflected the remaining sword aura. Thus, he
wasn't hurt at all.

After seeing Rocky's magnificent move, all the people were flabbergasted. If their memories served
them right, he was just the second person among the Spirit Realm disciples in the Sword Spirit City that
confronted Omar's three strikes and didn't incur any injury—the first one being Xavier.

"It seems that I have underestimated you, young man. I didn't expect that I have to use this on you, but
this is the end! Try avoiding my Hundred-shadow Swordsmanship!" Omar had finally realized that



Rocky's strength was way stronger than he had imagined. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to use the
Sword Spirit City's premium swordsmanship—the Hundred-shadow Swordsmanship.

It was actually one of the most advanced Spirit Realm swordsmanship that existed in the Sword Spirit
City. In the past three years, only two seventh grade Spirit Realm disciples managed to comprehend
and master this skill in the entire city. One was Omar, and the other one had already broken through
the King Realm a year ago. Therefore, it couldn't be denied that Omar was indeed a very talented
sword master.

In an instant, the lightning spiritual swords were divided into illusory figures in the air and turned into a
hundred sword shadows, which were generated at an incredible speed. It was a high-level skill that
utilized one's spiritual power to make the air vibrate wildly, thus creating the sword shadows in the
process. The faster one can manipulate his sword, the more damage would the sword aura cause to
his opponent.

The very next moment, the hundred sword shadows were shot like blazing arrows that poured at Rocky
at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, Rocky, who had been on the defensive all this time, finally made a move. However,
instead of confronting the sword shadows, he dashed straight towards Omar. As he was rapidly
approaching Omar, the sword shadows instantly hovered on top of him and were about to rain down on
him. However, the spiritual sword on his back was yet to be unsheathed.

All of a sudden, everyone got the shock of their life when countless streaks of sword radiance flashed
out of nowhere and offset the hundred sword shadows in an instant.

This scene made everyone present to open their eyes wide and drop their jaws. They had never seen a
move like this.



"What a fast sword skill! What did he just do?" All the powerful masters at the King Realm, including
Harrison and the two elders who were overseeing the competition, almost jumped out of their seats. All
they saw was that the sword on Rocky's back made a faint move, but it wasn't even unsheathed in the
first place. However, it was also a fact that all those countless sword radiances were generated from it.
The speed of the sword skill that he just exhibited completely overwhelmed Omar's—to think that it was
supposed to be one of the Sword Spirit City's premium swordsmanship.

The more interesting point was that the ability that Rocky had just displayed should be impossible to
pull off even for a seventh grade Spirit Realm disciple.

"How could this be? His sword strike is even faster than Omar's!" Tessa exclaimed as she tightly
clenched her fists.

Seeing all of this happen in the blink of an eye, Omar was utterly stunned and was in a daze for a
while. He was so confident that with his proud spiritual swordsmanship, there was no way that he
would be defeated by the newcomer. However, his greatest fear just became the reality.

"Your sword strike is fast, Omar. It's just that mine is faster," Rocky declared sternly. Even before Omar
could regain his senses, Rocky had already appeared in front of him.

"You…" Omar's face instantly flushed with embarrassment. He tried to open his mouth, but couldn't
utter another word. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Rocky's speed was far superior. In fact, he
didn't even clearly see how his sword moved at all.

"Are you going to yield?" Rocky asked with a faint but gentle smile.

"Well, I guess I should… I yield!" Although Omar didn't want to give up the fight, he perceived that
Rocky's real strength was still much higher than what he had already shown. Therefore, if he chose to
go on, it would only bring him more disgrace, and it might cause him needless injuries.



On the other hand, Omar's sudden decision to forfeit the match made the crowd burst into an uproar.
No one expected that the battle would end this way. Now, the people realized that Rocky wasn't just
someone who made his way into the final round out of sheer luck.

At the same time, for the disciples of the Sword Spirit City, who were closely watching Rocky's match,
they also didn't notice how powerful his sword skill was until now. Therefore, they thought that there
were still a lot of mysteries shrouding the newcomer's fullest potential.

In the meantime, the other six disciples, who were fighting at the other rings also saw that the match
between Omar and Rocky was already finished, and they were baffled to see that Rocky came on top.
However, they also thought that it wasn't such a bad thing. Except for Xavier, the other five disciples
were reluctant to be paired against Omar. Thus, with his defeat, they thought that they had one less
problem to face if they got to the next round. Of course, they still needed to focus on their current
matches in order to do so.

Six grueling hours later, the bouts of the other three pairs were also settled. Three seventh grade Spirit
Realm disciples, including Xavier, filled the list of the participants that were going to enter the next
round. The three disciples that Rocky might be facing next were ranked first, third, and sixth among all
the disciples that were at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm in the Sword Spirit City.

Therefore, no matter who was going to be paired against Rocky next, it was to be expected that a
fierce battle would ensue.

However, since no one really knew how powerful Rocky was, they could only speculate on what might
happen when he faced his next opponent.

Then, the next morning came, and the second round of the final stage of the competition was about to
begin. That day, only two rings would be occupied. When both matches ended, the two disciples who
would prevail were going to battle it out for the chance to enter the graveyard.



At the same time, although the matches were lesser, more people came to watch. After all, the
participants at that point were almost the best among the rest of the Spirit Realm disciples in the city. In
fact, more warriors at the King Realm appeared today to watch compared to yesterday.

The pairing was still decided by a random draw. After drawing lots, Rocky was declared to be up
against Noelle Xia, who ranked third among the Spirit Realm disciples of the Sword Spirit City. When
the people saw this, they immediately shook their heads and assumed that it was Rocky's unlucky
day.
