The Medallion

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.

Besides, no matter how powerful Jude was, he was just a high-grade Spiritual Emperor. At Rocky's current strength, it was absolutely easy for him to win this match.

In fact, what he was worried about was that he might hit his opponent too hard. If that happened, the other candidates might become too wary of him, thinking that he had been hiding his real strength. This was something that he wanted to prevent, at least for the time being.

However, in the eyes of the audience, they were already confident that Jude would actually bag the victory in his first match. Since Rocky just participated in the challenge competition before as Basil, most of the spectators today did not know this Basil guy's true strength. At the back of their minds, Basil was just a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor, so there was no way that he could defeat Jude.

But of course, they were yet to see something that would instantly change their minds.

After everyone had already finished drawing lots, the sixteen candidates went to eight different sites, where their first battle would happen.

All eight battles were going to be held at the same time, so it was impossible for the spectators to watch all battles at the same time. They could only choose one battle at a time. Logically, they would choose a battle between powerful high-grade Spiritual Emperors, thinking that it should be the most exciting one, or perhaps a battle between the most beautiful participants.

It also meant that not many people went to see Rocky's first battle.

At this time, Rocky and Jude already stood at the center of the battlefield.

Both of them exchanged looks and had completely different expressions on their faces. Jude was wearing a serious one, while Rocky was just calm and indifferent.

Basil?" Jude asked directly. Although it was just his first time meeting Rocky in person, he had already heard about him before. Jude's eyes were
