CHAPTER 172 UTTERLY DETESTABLE (PART ONE)

"Damn it!" Evan shouted with rage. He expected he would be able to defeat Rocky with the power at

the first grade of the Earthly Stage. However, he never once considered that Rocky could also be at the

same grade as he!

Evan was determined not to take his defeat lying down. Under the eyes of the soldiers of the northeast

military camp, as a team leader, Evan knew very well that his high prestige and reputation would be

damaged if he lost to Rocky. Thinking of this, he rapidly promoted his spiritual power to the second

grade of the Earthly Stage. This time, he displayed the spiritual martial arts of which he was most

proud, aimed at giving a fatal blow to Rocky.

"The Ghost Fog..." With his spiritual power enhancing, suddenly, dense white fog leapt up around

Evan's body and floated towards Rocky, densely enveloping him at once.

"Captain Evan even applied his unique skill!" While the crowd was already startled at Evan's

demonstration of the spiritual martial arts, they were even more astonished that Rocky, who was Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

considered as a worthless team leader of the weakest sixth team, would be so powerful that he could

drive Evan to use his special skill.

However, they were all convinced that Rocky would be doomed.

Immediately, Rocky felt he was in fog. His surroundings grew hazy. Meanwhile, wild shrieks and howls

from ghosts rang in his ears, besieging him from all sides. Any other soldier would probably be scared

out of his wits at this experience, let alone the challenge of fighting with Evan in the first place.

But Rocky just stared at one direction, looking as though he was waiting for something.

Very soon, countless ghost shadows gushed out of the fog, launching overwhelming attacks at him.

More substantial than illusions, these ghost shadows were formed by Evan's spiritual power. Touching

them would incite an attack of this power. Therefore, Rocky was in great danger.

Rocky was also aware of this, so he played flanking tactics against the ghost shadows. He knew it was

difficult to handle Evan now that he had used his power at the second grade of the Earthly Stage.

Seeing that Rocky had nowhere to hide, Evan firmly believed that Rocky wouldn't be able to escape

from his unique skill of the spiritual martial arts.

However, he didn't know that Rocky had a treasure. Without it, he would haven't survived the invasions

in waves from the four overmatches at the medium level of the Heavenly Stage when he fought in the

Witch Palace.

Rocky took out the bottle with the magical saliva and drank a drop of it. In an instant, his spiritual power

and the operation of his meridians and organs increased promptly, which enhanced his bodily

performance. As a result, he sped up at once. In the blink of an eye, he passed through the countless

ghost shadows while time and again shooting clouds of luminous nebulas to dispel them into mist. With

the help of the magical saliva, Rocky finally forced his way out of the fog.

Evan was stunned at the figure rushing out of the fog. Once he confirmed that it was Rocky, he became

stone-faced and grim. He had never expected Rocky to be so capable and powerful to the point of

being able to break through his most exquisite skill of the spiritual martial arts. What was even more

shocking was that he survived without a scratch.

"I won't allow him to live another day," Evan muttered to himself as his eyes were filled with murderous

intent. His spiritual power was promoted to the third grade of the Earthly Stage from the second grade

of the Earthly Stage. This time, rather than use the spiritual martial arts, he directly ran to Rocky. It

seemed that he planned to defeat Rocky with his overwhelming superiority. After mulling over the

matter at hand several times, Evan had grown determined to kill him. He was not stupid. He knew

Rocky would be a big trouble for him in the days to come, even if at the moment Rocky wasn't as

strong as him.

Seeing Evan rush towards him, Rocky remained calm and met him head-on.

In the moment of collision, they crisscrossed with one another. With a loud bang, a steak of light

exploded between them. They fell on opposite ends. Evan stood still on the ground, while Rocky kept

his balance after stumbling back several steps.

"The power at the third grade of the Earthly Stage is so mighty," Rocky sighed in astonishment, blood

surging in his chest. But mighty as Evan was, it would be no easy task for him to get rid of Rocky.

"I shouldn't preserve my strength anymore," Rocky said with his sparkling eyes. Immediately, he

promoted his spiritual power to the second grade of the Earthly Stage once again.

Seeing this, the whole northeast military camp seethed with excitement.

Everyone was abuzz with what had just happened. Rocky surprised them time after time! They

wouldn't sure how much more they could stand!

Evan couldn't think of anything to say. What he regretted was that he had made a big mistake from the

very beginning — he had treated Rocky as a target.

Rocky took another drop of the magical saliva and prepared to take the initiative to strike first.

"Boom! Bang! Crash!"

Wherever they passed, a cloud of dust and smoke accompanied by loud noises followed in their wake.

After a few moments, the earth was scattered about in a mess, trenches and holes scattered

everywhere.

Relying on the amazing effect of the magical saliva, Rocky was about to fight with an opponent who

was just as capable as he. The winner or loser wasn't clear-cut yet at all.

It was beyond all expectations that Rocky would turn out to be so challenging to deal with. Besides,

after a long and drawn-out battle, Evan's spiritual power had reduced sharply. Any semblance of his

arrogance had faded away. However, Evan was certain about the implications if Rocky would defeat

him. He would be thoroughly discredited in the northeast military camp. He shook his head in defiance.

He could not tolerate this defeat which would surely be the end of his power-tripping days!

Mustering all his strength, Evan shouted loudly and summoned the Ghost Fog again. This time, the fog

covered a larger area and the momentum of ghost shadows were more ferocious. They blotted out the

sky and the land as thickly as stalks in a field of flax, for which the power at the second grade of the

Earthly Stage was no match.
