Chapter 1513 The Coming Newcomer Contest

Just as Rocky was about to be in danger, another woman appeared in front of him and shouted, "If you
want to get to him, you have to get past me first! Who dares to come up and have a try?"

The unexpected event shocked everyone, because the woman was none other than Carla, the
strongest warrior at the King Realm among them.

And judging from the expression on her face, she had recovered from her earlier injury.

Seeing that Carla had come to her aid, Eunice was a little surprised, but mostly relieved. After all, she
knew that Carla was a lot more intimidating than she was, and could actually protect Rocky.

Needless to say, the disciples who were approaching Rocky stopped in their tracks and exchanged
fearful glances. They dared not continue to go forward, because they believed that if they fought her,
they would not only suffer a great loss but also offend the Yu Clan, which firmly stood behind her.

In the middle of all this, a lone figure rushed out from the corner, unnoticed by everyone present. And to
add to their surprise, he was not aiming at the Purple-flaming Phoenix, but at Rocky.

"Go to hell, Brat!" Hayden shouted with a snicker.

By the time Eunice and Carla spotted him, it was too late for them to stop him. They could only watch
him approach Rocky, as if they were frozen in place. At the same time, the powerful spiritual power of
the Purple-flaming Phoenix enveloped Rocky, seemingly capable of hurting him at any time.

The next moment, an extraordinary thing happened. The Purple-flaming Phoenix, which had been
completely still, suddenly turned its head, stared straight at Hayden, and opened its mouth, spurting
purple flame out at him. It had never occurred to Hayden that the phoenix would suddenly recover, but
it was too late for him to dodge. He flew straight into the purple flame, and then fell directly from the air
to the ground. An unpleasant burning smell filled the air as smoke wafted off his whole body.



Everyone present was dumbfounded. They didn't understand why the phoenix had suddenly attacked
Hayden, but it seemed to be protecting Rocky.

They didn't have to speculate for long, because the next moment, Rocky also jerked back into motion
and flew to the ground as if nothing had happened. He narrowed his eyes at Hayden, who had just tried
to launch a sneak attack on him and was now lying not far away. "I see, it's him. He deserves his
punishment for acting so recklessly!"

"Basil, are you okay?" Eunice nervously forced her opponent back and then flew down to Rocky.

"I'm fine," he replied.

"What happened just now? Why were you and the Purple-flaming Phoenix not moving at all?" Eunice
asked in confusion.

"Because I was having a heart-to-heart talk with it," Rocky said casually.

"Really?" Eunice was still puzzled, as were the rest of them.

Since Rocky seemed to be perfectly fine, and the Purple-flaming Phoenix had made a move just now,
some of the disciples who had been approaching them stood still, not daring to take any action.

However, there were a few disciples who were not willing to give up and still wanted to give it a shot.
Just when they approached the phoenix and were about to attack it, the phoenix roared angrily, ready
to battle them.

"Just ignore them and go back to my Magic Spiritual Space first!" Rocky said abruptly. At the same
time, he opened the door to his Magic Spiritual Space.

When the phoenix heard Rocky's words, it immediately quieted down. It threw an arrogant glance at
the disciples before flying into the space.



There was an audible gasp from everyone present as they watched the phoenix disappear before their
eyes on Rocky's order.

No one had expected that the phoenix would listen to Rocky, as if it had been subdued by him.

"Basil, what on earth is going on?" Eunice couldn't help but ask.

"From now on, it's my spiritual beast," Rocky replied lightly.

The whole venue fell into silence. Obviously, no one could accept the fact that Rocky, who was
technically the weakest among them, had tamed the Purple-flaming Phoenix that had evolved into a
demonic spiritual beast. It was impossible to even comprehend!

"Did you really tame the Purple-flaming Phoenix? How did you do it?" Even Carla couldn't stay silent,
because it was just too unbelievable for her to accept.

"I have my methods, of course. By the way, I have to thank you for your help just now," Rocky said with
a small smile. The moments when he had been communicating with the Purple-flaming Phoenix had
been absolutely crucial for him. If Carla hadn't stopped the other warriors at the King Realm from
approaching him, his efforts would have been in vain, and he might even have been in great danger.

"I just didn't want to owe you any favors. Since you have subdued the phoenix, there's no reason for
me to stay here any longer. Goodbye!" After saying that, Carla flew away.

"Let's go," Rocky said to Eunice.

"Okay," Eunice replied coldly, still not having recovered from the shock.

The two of them swiftly left, leaving behind the awestruck disciples who still could not come to terms
with the truth.



Two days later, all the disciples who had entered the Phantom Valley successfully returned to the
entrance. Most of them had gained a lot during their journey. Of course, even though they had come
back with a good harvest, it was not as good as subduing a demonic spiritual beast.

With the return of those powerful warriors at the King Realm, the news of Rocky taming a demonic
spiritual beast spread all over the Sky-suppressing School. Of course, since most of the disciples
hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they were skeptical of the news.

After the first training in the Phantom Valley, the Sky-suppressing School prepared a new list based on
the strength of the new disciples and their performance in the first trial to motivate them.

Although Rocky had subdued the demonic spiritual beast, he still ranked at the bottom of the list. But it
didn't matter much to him. In fact, it was better that way because he could continue to avoid being
noticed.

After that, he attended two more training sessions, during which he maintained a low profile.

A month later, the newcomer contest of the Sky-suppressing School commenced.

The contest was open to all the disciples who had been at the Sky-suppressing School for only a year
or less.

Therefore, over a hundred disciples participated in the contest. The competition was exceptionally
fierce!

Logically speaking, the disciples who had stayed in the school for a year should have an advantage
over the disciples who had only stayed there for a few months. After all, they had much more
experience and knowledge.



However, in terms of strength, this was not necessarily the case, because there were three new
disciples who had already reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant, while the disciples who had
been at the school for a year were still at the primary stage. Therefore, they did not have much of an
advantage.

It was still uncertain who would be the winner in the end!

Of course, most people who watched the competition could gauge the possible winner. After all, any
competition was based on strength. The stronger one was, the greater their chance of victory would be.

According to everyone's prediction, the disciple who was most likely to be the winner was a genius
from the Sky-suppressing Mansion called Moore Duan, who had already reached the peak level of the
middle stage of the Spiritual Infant.

Apart from him, there were also a few other disciples who were likely to be the winner. They were
slightly weaker than Moore Duan, but they were also at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant.

Carla was one of those disciples.

However, no one knew exactly how powerful she was. Some people said that she had just reached the
medium stage, while others said that she had already reached the peak of the medium stage and
would cross it soon. But no matter what, with the strength she had at the medium stage, she would
definitely come out of the contest with a good ranking.

All in all, everyone took it for granted that the final winner would be one of those few people.

Two hours before the contest began, Eunice whispered in Rocky's ear, "Remember, this contest is very
important to us. It doesn't matter if you don't get a place, but I must get it. So, if you can help me, just
help me, understand?"



"Okay," Rocky replied casually.

"You have to remember it," Eunice stressed with a worried frown.

"I see. When did you start nagging so much?" Rocky said, rolling his eyes.

"How dare you make such rude remarks about me? You're courting death!" Eunice cursed angrily.

"All right, all right. You don't nag at all. I'm sorry!" Rocky said hurriedly, afraid that he would spark her
temper.

"That's more like it!" Obviously, Eunice was still a little unhappy.

The spectators of the contest included the disciples of the Sky-suppressing School and the spirit
warriors who cheered for the participants from their own sects and clans. The Sky-suppressing School
had appointed an elder to be in charge of the battles, and there were also many senior school officials
present. Therefore, the venue was filled with lively chatter, and everyone was brimming with
excitement.

It was said that the president of the Sky-suppressing School would also be there to watch the final
battle. Therefore, whoever participated in the final battle would definitely have a chance to earn a place
in the president's good graces, and in turn have a bright future.

The contest was divided into three rounds.

The first round was a team battle, where all the participants were divided into four teams with the same
combined strength. Each team had to complete the designated task to get a chance to enter the
second round. If a team didn't complete the task, all the members of that team would not qualify for the
next round. Therefore, mutual cooperation among the team members was particularly
important.
