The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim as they marveled at Omar's staggering skill. For the people watching, this sword attack was incomparably fast and should be able to defeat his opponent in the blink of an eye. However, Rocky begged to differ. Indeed, he was also surprised by its speed, but it was nothing alarming that he wouldn't be able to dodge it with ease. Thus, when the newcomer evaded it effortlessly, the spectators' eyes widened in disbelief.
They were so hyped and confident by Omar's skill that they assumed that Rocky just dodged it by mere luck. In fact, they bet on it that on the next strike, he wouldn't be able to escape from it.
On the other hand, even Omar didn't expect that his first strike would miss its target. After all, his first sword strike was designed to take his opponent by surprise. Normally, it was the most difficult to defend, but Rocky made it look so easy.
Soon enough his Lightning Sword made a sharp turn in the air and transformed into vicious lightning shadows again. Then, it bolted out and darted towards Rocky. This time, it was faster and fiercer. As the crowd saw this, there was no doubt in their minds that it should take Rocky down in an instant.

Six grueling hours later, the bouts of the other three pairs were also settled.

The three disciples that Rocky might be facing next were ranked first, third, and sixth among all the disciples that were at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm in the Sword Spirit City.
Therefore, no matter who was going to be paired against Rocky next, it was to be expected that a fierce battle would ensue.
However, since no one really knew how powerful Rocky was, they could only speculate on what might happen when he faced his next opponent.
Then, the next morning came, and the second round of the final stage of the competition was about to begin. That day, only two rings would be occupied. When both matches ended, the two disciples who would prevail were going to battle it out for the chance to enter the graveyard.
At the same time, although the matches were lesser, more people came to watch. After all, the participants at that point were almost the best among the rest of the Spirit Realm disciples in the city. In fact, more warriors at the King Realm appeared today to watch compared to yesterday.
The pairing was still decided by a random draw. After drawing lots, Rocky was declared to be up against Noelle Xia, who ranked third among the Spirit Realm disciples of the Sword Spirit City. When the people saw this, they immediately shook their heads and assumed that it was Rocky's unlucky day.
