Chapter 1769 Show Extraordinary Talents

Perhaps it was because of the influence that Rocky had exhibited, Gloria became distracted and
eventually lost focus. Gradually, the spiritual light on her body started to dim. At this point, there was no
way that she could break through to the tenth grade anymore.

At the same time, the spiritual light around Rocky began to dissipate as well.

Seeing this, the people, who were still holding their breath, could not help but heave a deep sigh. They
all thought that both candidates did their best, but it was unfortunate that none of them could reach the
tenth grade.

However, just as the crowd thought that the test was over, a strange golden spiritual light suddenly
rushed out of Rocky's body, interweaved, and enveloped him.

"The tenth grade!" Colton exclaimed out of nowhere.

When everyone heard Colton, they were instantly stunned. No one ever thought that Rocky could really
reach the tenth grade. After all, his progress earlier was so slow. But at the most crucial point, he
suddenly pulled through and made a breakthrough.

At the same time, Gloria was also dumbfounded. She really thought that she could make it to the tenth
grade, but she failed at the very last moment. Logically, she assumed that her level of strength should
just be the same as Rocky's. That was why she found it impossible that Rocky beat her to it.

Right now, the undeniably spectacular talent and aptitude that Rocky displayed were more than enough
to hail him as the most superior Spiritual Emperor in the contest.

"What the hell? This guy's potential is overwhelming! I have clearly underestimated him before!"
Michelle could not help but exclaim in surprise. She always felt that he was not a match for her if she
exhibited her true strength, but she realized that she was sorely mistaken. Seeing Rocky's mind-



boggling talent before her eyes, she was struck by the reality that someone would always be stronger
than her in this world.

Of course, even the other Spiritual Emperors, like Holden, thought the same. Most of them grew even
more annoyed and infuriated.

Originally, Holden wanted to take advantage of the Spiritual Emperor Contest to gain fame and be in
the limelight. But after what he experienced, he recognized that it would not happen anymore. From the
first round up to now, he was always defeated and humiliated by Rocky.

However, this also motivated him even more to do something to eradicate Rocky from his path. After
all, with him gone, he might have the chance to steal the show again.

Despite the people who harbored malice towards Rocky, some were genuinely happy for his
achievements. These included Eunice, Carla, Lilith and Valeria. In their eyes, aside from being deeply
surprised, they felt sincere admiration for him.

As the golden light that enveloped Rocky's body had been completely released, the library eventually
returned to being peaceful. However, everyone could easily spot something different in Rocky.

Moreover, no one really knew what kind of special technique Rocky managed to comprehend all this
time.

But of course, as long as one was able to reach the tenth grade, it would be just a piece of cake for
them to comprehend any kind of unique and rare skill.

At this moment, Rocky already landed on the ground and approached Colton.

The two of them looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on.



Since everyone wanted to know what unique skill Rocky was able to comprehend, Colton directly
asked him, "Can you tell us about the skill that you have comprehended? I am sure all these people
would like to know."

"Oh, of course. What I have comprehended is the Holy Spirit Skill!" Rocky replied bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Colton was rendered speechless. It seemed that he didn't expect someone to
discover this rare skill in the library.

"Did he just say that he comprehended the Holy Spirit Skill? I thought that ancient skill has been lost for
hundreds of years now?"

"That is what I also know! It is said to be comparable to a divine skill. When one cultivates to the
maximum limit, his spirit will be able to leave his body, transcend the three supreme worlds, and
become a holy being! It is that amazing!"

"But how did that happen? If it has been lost for a long time, how did he find it in the library? Is he lying
then?"

For a moment, the crowd started to become noisy again as doubts and speculations rose here and
there.

In fact, even Colton himself was not aware that the Holy Spirit Skill was just hidden in the Heavenly
Library. The library was built in the early stages of the establishment of the Di Clan, and every chief
tried their best to put the unique skills that they had collected into it. Although there should be a record
of every skill in it, it had already been hundreds of years since its establishment, so there was a
possibility that some skills were somehow not recorded. Since Colton was from the recent generation,
he was also not familiar with every skill that could be found in it.



"What a shame! I did not even know that the Holy Spirit Skill is here all along. Anyway, I haven't seen
the skill myself. I believe everyone here also wants to take a glimpse of it. Will you show us?" Colton
deliberately asked Rocky to remove the doubts from the people.

Understanding what Colton meant, Rocky just nodded and raised his hand. Suddenly, a tiny golden
crystal appeared. Then, with a flick of his finger, the golden crystal flew out.

The next moment, the golden crystal that suspended in the sky flashed a brilliance that could be
compared to the sun. This was the holy power contained in it that shone towards everyone below. It
made them feel the warmth of a spring breeze that cleared their minds and hearts.

After a while, the light dissipated and everyone regained their senses. They felt rather disappointed
because they still wanted to be surrounded by the holy power from the golden crystal for a while longer.

"Well, to put it in simpler terms, the Holy Spirit Skill is a kind of a mind-clearing technique. It is unique
but it may not be as mysterious as you think," Rocky explained modestly. According to the memory of
the Shura Race's king however, the Holy Spirit Skill actually originated from the royal family of the
Shura Race. Of course, it was before the royal family had fallen into evil. When one was able to
cultivate the skill to the extreme, it was said that the user would be able to fight against gods and
demons.

Although Rocky tried to downplay the ability of the Holy Spirit Skill, everyone still thought that the skill
was extraordinary, and they were envious of him for acquiring it.

"All right! The three tests in the third round have finally come to an end. As long as a participant has
reached the fifth grade in the third round, they are qualified to enter the fourth round. The trial for the
fourth round shall start the day after tomorrow. It is the test of the Holy Heaven Palace, so I hope that
every participant who will enter the fourth round will rest well. This trial is even more dangerous than
the first three rounds. If you are not careful enough, you might die. Now, let's call it a day so that the



rest of you can prepare fully well." After finishing his announcement and casting a glance at Rocky,
Colton eventually left the area.

At the same time, most of the people were still fixated on Rocky.

Since he did not want to be the center of attention, Rocky decided to leave the Heavenly Library as
soon as he could.

However, right after exiting the library, a delicate figure suddenly appeared behind him and was quickly
catching up.

Judging from her aura, Rocky instantly knew that it was Gloria. Nonetheless, he didn't stop from
walking away. Instead, he even sped up so that he could get far away at once.

Seeing that Rocky was deliberately ignoring her, Gloria felt more exasperated. Stubborn as she was,
she did not let Rocky off her sight and followed him wherever he was going.

Not long after, the two managed to arrive at the bamboo forest in the Boundless Manor. That was the
only time that Rocky stopped in his tracks.

"Do you really need to take me this far?" Gloria realized that Rocky was actually leading her to this
place. His main purpose must be to observe privacy.

"You know that all the other Godly Geniuses are keeping their eyes on me. We must be extra careful
from now on!" Rocky said upfront.

"I know that. That's why I wanted you to share that burden with me. But you stole my thunder and
distracted me that I failed to reach the tenth grade! What did you mean?" Gloria let out her frustrations
as she crossed her arms on her chest.



"Huh? What are you talking about?" Rocky still tried to get away by letting out an awkward smile and
denying what Gloria said.

"Don't play dumb with me. I knew you did that on purpose." Gloria looked away and rolled her eyes at
Rocky.

"I did it for your sake. I already told you not to expose your identity," Rocky retorted and reprimanded
her.

"I also told you that I am not afraid of the other Godly Geniuses even if they found out my real identity!"
Gloria snapped back, annoyed that her pride was being stepped on.

Rocky heaved a deep sigh and patiently reminded her. "We'll get there eventually. But it is not yet the
right time. Besides, did you forget that we are not just dealing with the Godly Geniuses? If you tried to
get too much attention, even the Spiritual Emperors of the human race and the spiritual race will focus
on you. That will inconvenience us from carrying out our plans properly."

The Spiritual Emperors of the human race and the spiritual race were also smart and perceptive. If they
found out that something was fishy about some of the participants, they might start snooping around,
spy on them, and discover the truth. If that happened, it might cause a huge commotion that would
affect their quests as Godly Geniuses.
