Chapter 1756 A Voice Sounded

Since everyone now knew his identity as Basil, Rocky now had no reason to hold back his real
strength. On top of this, he was itching to know how powerful he really was.

He relentlessly fought one battle after another in the Myriad Illusionary Array and made it to the fiftieth
pass in only a couple of hours. But he knew that he still had a lot more to give.

A few moments later, he was now at the sixtieth pass.

At the same time, people started to gather around the Myriad Illusionary Array.

However, they didn't come for Rocky's awesome display of his skill, but for another Spiritual Emperor
from the spiritual race. The fact that he participated in the competition was already something people
didn't expect.

What was more, he was already challenging the sixtieth pass, which meant that he was one step in
front of Rocky.

"Wow, Basil is really powerful! He's already making his way towards the sixtieth pass!"

"I wonder how powerful he really is. Is he actually a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor? I remember he
was just a Spiritual King when he first entered the Sky-suppressing School, but now he managed to
improve his strength like this in such a short span of time! He really is one of a kind!"

Four hours later, Rocky had already reached the sixty-ninth pass! For most, this was the limit of a
middle-grade Spiritual Emperor.

The talented Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race mentioned earlier managed to reach the
seventieth pass, one step in front of Rocky.

There was only one pass between the two.



Everyone was at the edge of their seats, waiting for Rocky to proceed with the pass, but to their
dismay, he decided to call it quits in an anti-climactic fashion. He didn't want to reveal to everyone that
he was actually as capable as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.

However, he still made sure to break the record reached by a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor, which
was recently sixty-fifth passes.

After Rocky withdrew from the test, the talented Spiritual Emperor also stopped at the seventieth pass.

After the limit test, the potential test was next in line for them.

Because of Basil's captivating performance, people swarmed the entrance of the Imperial Soul Testing
Array to watch. They wanted to know whether the previous test was only a fluke or if he was the real
deal.

Up to now, Rocky's ranking was still the third place. If he didn't perform well in the potential test, he
would miss the opportunity to enter the third round.

While everyone was waiting in anticipation for the test to start, the crowd started buzzing with talks
about him.

"I think his soul potential is at least at the middle grade of the Earth Stage!"

"Maybe it's at the high grade of the Earth Stage!"

"Stop overestimating him too much! We can't guess the potential of his Imperial Soul based on his
strength, since they're totally irrelevant!"

Four hours had passed as people heatedly discussed among themselves.



Then, the crowd hushed in silence as they saw Rocky finish the potential test in the Imperial Soul
Testing Array. Everyone was itching to know the result, and as soon as it was announced, everyone
was shell-shocked.

"Basil, the high grade of the Heaven Stage!"

"What? The high-grade of the Heaven Stage?! That's impossible!"

"Did I hear it wrong? This should be a mistake."

"It must be! Contestant number ninety-nine from the last test also had his results come out wrong! At
first the potential of his Imperial Soul was classified at the middle grade of the Heaven Stage, but upon
re-examining, the potential of his Imperial Soul fell to the high-grade of the Earth Stage."

"Yes! I remember it! It's very likely that this one's wrong too!"

Even Rocky himself was surprised to hear this since in his previous soul potential test, the potential of
his Imperial Soul only reached the middle grade of the Heaven Stage. When he thought about this
again, he realized it might be because he practiced the Mysterious Soul Formula lately.

The result was so shocking that the Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan immediately reported it to Colton.

Like the others, Colton was also surprised to hear this, but he did not order a reexamination. Instead,
he sent a message to the Spiritual Emperor responsible for the test.

As soon as the latter received the message, he quickly hushed the lively crowd and reported,
"According to the chief of the Di Clan, Basil can directly enter the last round considering his
extraordinary soul potential."

The announcement of this decision left everyone speechless. Never had they anticipated that Rocky
would qualify for the last round without further checking. But soon, they figured that since the potential



of his Imperial Soul was identified to be at the high grade of the Heaven Stage, it might be possible that
he had not yet fully displayed his strength. Perhaps the Di Clan favored him because of this respect,
and thus they made an exception for him.

But overall, the sudden development of events remained a shock to everyone.

Meanwhile, some representatives from different forces now viewed Rocky in a different light. For them,
he was a precious treasure waiting to be caught!

A Spiritual Emperor with an afro immediately rushed over to Rocky and excitedly asked, "Sir Basil,
would you like to join our Earth Dragon Sect? Our leader took note of your extraordinary talent and
would like to gift you these fine treasures!" He took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Rocky with both
hands respectfully.

"Wow. This is so generous of you! Thank you!" Rocky said, pretending to be flattered.

"You're welcome. If you are willing to join our sect, you can have as many as you want," the Spiritual
Emperor boasted proudly.

"Really? Thank you, but unfortunately, such low-grade pills are useless for me," Rocky replied with a
smile.

"Wh... What?" The Spiritual Emperor with an afro was stunned.

The crowd burst into a fit of laughter while the other representatives snickered to themselves at the
side. How could this man be so ignorant enough to offer someone as powerful as Rocky low-grade
pills? He was practically begging to be insulted!

"Shame on you! Your sect doesn't deserve such a talented warrior like him," another representative
chimed in as he made his way towards Rocky. He then turned around and said, "Sir Basil, please join



our sect. We are a rising force in the Ethereal Region and we are rapidly improving. With you by our
side, we'll be unstoppable! If you agree to join us, you'll be awarded the title an elder. This is how much
we respect you. What do you think?"

"I'm used to being a free man. I'm not interested in being an elder!" Rocky refused as he waved his
hand.

"I can tell that you're not a narrow-minded man. Why don't you join our Happiness Valley Sect? If it's
freedom you value, then we're the most liberated sect in the Ethereal Region. If you join us, you'll not
only be an elder, but you'll also have a handful of stunning female Spiritual Kings under your disposal if
you know what I mean..." A charming female Spiritual Emperor appeared in front of him as she
deliberately show her cleavage to seduce Rocky.

"If all of those female Spiritual Kings are as stunning as you, then I might have to consider your offer,"
Rocky said, smiling as he kept his eyes locked on to the woman's chest.

"As long as you wish, I can assist you in person," the female Spiritual Emperor said as she winked at
him.

"Oh, thanks. But I'm not interested in women older than me." Rocky shook his head.

The crowd burst into laughter once again.

Her face turned a bright red in humiliation and anger, but she couldn't lose her temper in public.

Seeing him turn down another offer, many more were getting ready to approach Rocky. But before they
could open their mouths, Rocky said to them, "Stop wasting your breath. I'm sorry, but I'm really not
interested in joining any sect."

All the representatives were disappointed since Rocky seemed to be refusing all the forces.



Suddenly, a sweet voice rang out from the crowd. "What about an invitation from the Sky-suppressing
Mansion? Would you really turn down a request from me?"
