At this moment, the final sixteen candidates drew lots in order to determine their opponents in the first round of battle. When it was Rocky's turn, it seemed that he actually picked one of the ten high-grade Spiritual Emperors, whose strength was ranked in the top three of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. It was none other than Jude.
"Seriously? Do I already have to face such a strong opponent off the bat? It seems that I will be forced to show some of my real strength to defeat this one. I'm afraid I don't have the luxury to keep a low-profile in this match." Rocky let out a frown, but later on, he also thought that the result was just reasonable. After all, ten of the sixteen candidates were all high-grade Spiritual Emperors. Hence, the probability of encountering a strong opponent from the start was really high. So, whether his first opponent was strong or not, it did not matter. Eventually, he would have to face all of them.
Of course, ideally, Rocky did not want to expose his real strength so soon. Thus, he decided that he would do his best to defeat his opponents by only using his trump cards at the most crucial moments.

Rocky was not that strong in the first place. Hence, there was no need for him to use all his strength.
Of course, no one had realized that Jude was actually threatened by Rocky ever after Rocky had effortlessly avoided the first set of attacks thrown at him.
Moreover, even as he was faced with this more powerful attack, Rocky still looked calm and unfazed. Although the overbearing sword aura fell from above his head, he still did not move away. Instead, he flipped his two fingers and waved them as if he was swinging a sword.
Then, suddenly, a purple sword aura appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards Jude.
"What the hell? Where did this overwhelmingly strong sword aura come from?" Caught off guard, Jude perceived that a tremendous sword aura was about to get him. At the same time, an intense spiritual pressure descended from the sky, instantly making his face ghastly pale.
Even before the purple sword aura could reach him, Jude already felt that his breathing was in disorder and he was actually panicking really hard.
However, he was still unwilling to admit defeat. After all, his reputation as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor of the Sky-suppressing Mansion was at stake here. If he lost in his first battle against someone whose strength was supposed to be inferior to him, he would become a laughingstock. Ultimately, it would bring disgrace to the Sky-suppressing Mansion.
