Chapter 970 Geoffrey’s Challenge

The next morning, Rocky went to the ruins of the ancient temple within the capital's suburb. He excavated the crystal that had absorbed spiritual power for seven consecutive days and nights. Once it was revealed, the entire crystal overflowed with strong spiritual light.

As Rocky bent over and picked it up, he could feel the abundance of spiritual power the crystal contained. Because it was still in its early form, the spiritual power couldn't be released yet. Next step for it would be to enter the second stage of refining.

A spiritual crystal usually needed to undergo years of testing before it finally became powerful. The same went for the artificial spiritual crystal.

According to the refining notebook's records, the crystal that sealed the spiritual power needed to be refined for three consecutive days and nights after the completion of the spirit absorption stage. The refining would be done under the conditions of the two opposing forces in nature: extreme Yin (the negative, feminine energy) or extreme Yang (the positive, masculine energy) to rid the crystal of impurities.

So now, Rocky needed to find a place that with the most suitable refining conditions to carry out the crystal refining process.

After some inquiry, he heard that three miles away from the north of the capital was the Fire Wave Mountain which was named for its extremely high temperatures. Supposedly, there was a fire cave located on the mountain's hillside. The innermost part of the cave was the hottest area. It was scorching to the point that it could burn human flesh.

Rocky had initially planned to go directly to the cave. However, Woods had sent a messenger to inform him that he was needed at his mansion regarding an urgent matter.

He had no choice but to head to Woods' mansion first.

Being a sophisticated person, Prince Woods' mansion naturally reflected his elegant magnificence. The entire mansion was a picturesque park filled with singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Rocky was led through a peach blossom forest before finally arriving at the lak

Rocky began to teach Queenie some of the basic Beast Curing Skills, which meant he had no time to rest.

At the same time, news of Geoffrey's challenge against Woods began to spread throughout the entire capital like wildfire. To no one's surprise, it drew much attention.

Two days later, it was the day of the competition. It occurred in the early morning and was attended by other princes and other important figures from various clans. The entire beast arena was bustling with excitement and anticipation.

Soon after, Geoffrey and Woods appeared with their respective entourages. This stirred up the crowd within the arena even further.

Geoffrey was accompanied by none other than the masters of the Qi Clan. Apart from Alexander, there was also a peerless master of the Divine Stage as well as several masters of the Supernal Stage. To say their group was powerful would be an understatement.

On the other hand, Woods' entourage was led by the Cao Clan. They only had one peerless master of the Divine Stage, Lucas. The power they emanated was less intimidating. Fortunately, they had two masters at the high grade of the Supernal Stage, making their team not greatly inferior to Geoffrey's in strength.

Soon, the two groups met face to face on one side of the viewing platform. The suspense within the beast arena intensified.
