"Whenever I remember that battle last year, I feel so ashamed! I've always wanted to fight you again, but I never found the chance. I know that I'm not as strong as you are right now, but I wouldn't go down without a fight." Erica was indeed a stubborn woman. She hadn't let go of the fact that Rocky had once defeated her. Truth be told, his victory was only a fluke. However, she wouldn't be satisfied until she got a rematch. As long as she remembered the embarrassment of losing, it would be a nightmare that would continuously haunt her. She was surprised and frustrated that Rocky didn't participate in the martial arts contest. After all, outstanding spirit manipulators from various empires were expected to gather and join the martial arts contest.
"Then, there's one more reason why I can't fight you. What if you lose again?" Rocky retorted as he raised his eyebrows, wearing a faint smirk on his face.
"Just fight me, okay? One round is enough! If I lose again, I won't appear in front of you ever. I swear!" Erica argued in a serious tone.
"Such a stubborn woman..." Rocky had seen countless beauties before, but it was his first time seeing a delicate face with such an unyielding attitude.
Hearing what Rocky said, Erica just got more impatient.
"Just give it up. I won't fight you." Rocky clearly knew that he would gain nothing from fighting her. Thus, he stood by his decision and dismissed her right away.
Realizing that Rocky wouldn't agree no matter how much she convinced him, Erica also made up her mind. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists as if planning something. The next moment, she waved her arms, and a strong spiritual power immediately rushed towards Rocky from that very close distance. She attacked him without warning so that he would have no choice but to fight back.
"Why, you..." Rocky's face darkened with Erica's unexpected attack. However, due to his fast reflexes, he was able to step back and dodge her attack with ease.
At that moment, they were actually in the middle of the royal palace's road where many people passed by. The spirit manipulators from various empires were also around.
Therefore, the scene that Erica made quickly attracted the attention of the people in the area. The spirit manipulators instantly recognized her and became interested in the developing fight.
"Isn't that Erica, the talented spirit manipulator of the Magic Phoenix Empire?"
"Yes, it is her! I have heard that her strength is almost at the Divine Stage now."
"What? Really? I remember that she has just broken through to the Supernal Stage about a year ago. How did she get that strong in just a year? What a fascinating talent!"
"I heard that she has undergone extensive training in the Phoenix Master Clan within that time."
The spirit manipulators who saw Erica and Rocky couldn't help but discuss with each other.
However, they only knew Erica, and nothing about the person she attacked. Thus, naturally, the onlookers got curious about the person.
Therefore, the people started to make a variety of guesses.
"Has he molested her? Doesn't he know who he is dealing with? That guy is courting death!"
Then, from the Magic Spiritual Space, the tall and burly Robin slowly emerged. Its hair fluttered in the wind while exuding a vicious aura that suddenly silenced and shocked everyone.
All of the spirit manipulators were stunned at the sight of Robin. They couldn't believe that this seemingly weak guy was able to summon a spirit-manipulated beast that surpassed at least the six-star level. Robin's true strength had actually exceeded the seven-star level. However, there were no peerless masters among the spectating spirit manipulators, so none of them could perceive its real power.
Right after Robin appeared, it immediately rushed towards the Glint Phoenix. It was incredibly fast that they weren't able to notice that Robin had already grabbed the Glint Phoenix in just the blink of an eye. Robin held on tightly, rendering the Glint Phoenix completely motionless.
"Do you still want to continue this?" Rocky turned to Erica after seeing that the Glint Phoenix was incapacitated.
However, Rocky had underestimated Erica. This much wouldn't be able to make her give up. Then, she snorted and said, "Spirit Possession!"
Suddenly, the Glint Phoenix, which was held by Robin, turned into a ray of colorful light, flew directly at Erica, and instantly merged with her. The next moment, she emerged in front of everyone with a completely different appearance.
Earlier, she was dressed in pink clothes, but as she merged with the Glint Phoenix, she appeared in a colorful blazing phoenix robe. Her beautiful yet cold face was covered with fiery spiritual marks, and her eyes glowed brightly. As she transformed, the most noteworthy part was the flaming and shining wind wings rising from her back.
The spectating spirit manipulators were extremely astonished to see Erica employ the Spirit Possession. The unique skill was not something an ordinary spirit manipulator could master. Only the high-level ones with superb talents would be able to manifest it. Moreover, they were flabbergasted at the fact that Rocky was able to push Erica to such an extent that she needed to use the Spirit Possession skill. All he did earlier was dodging her attacks, and then he suddenly summoned such a high-level spirit-manipulated beast. Everything they were seeing was inconceivable. Now, they were curious at how far this guy could surprise them as his battle with Erica raged on.
