The Medallion novel Chapter 49

Marcia would be visiting the dragon field in the afternoon. As soon as Mia got this news, the entire dragon field, which had always been quiet in the morning, became lively.

To welcome Marcia, Mia and some other ministers came early to the dragon field and planned to redecorate it. They even went as far as planning to change it up to look like a big feast.

On top of that, many aristocrats, high officials, even members of nobility and royalty came rushing towards the dragon field after hearing the news. Even the ordeal of standing under the scorching heat of the sun did not stop them from patiently waiting for Marcia's arrival. They wanted to witness the graceful arrival of the Marcia who was famous all over the country with their own eyes.

"It seems like this Marcia is really famous. Even these privileged people are so eager to see her that they don't mind standing under the hot sun," Rocky said as he amusedly looked at the scene. He had no idea that Marcia's influence was this huge. He then left to return to his room.

The news of Marcia's arrival had already spread among the trainees in the area. They all went completely crazy as if they were pumped up with excitants. Although Marcia had been famous throughout the entire country for a very long time and these new royal spirit manipulators had already heard a lot about her, only a few of them had been fortunate enough to have met her personally. It was no wonder that they all acted like mad dogs upon hearing the news that the legendarily powerful and remarkably stunning general was going to watch them train.

"It will be excellent if Marcia would take me as an apprentice."

"I'm even willing to be her servant!"

"You're both so unambitious. I will make her my girlfriend and marry her, and then I will be rich for the rest of my life."

Rocky heard several of the trainees daydreaming and fantasizing as he walked towards the door of his room. He could not help a smile from appearing on his face as he wondered what these trainees' faces would look like if they knew that not only had he met their dream lover, but also seen her naked.

He then saw Flint quietly cultivating with his legs crossed as he entered the room.

"You're not going to train today?" Rocky curiously asked.

"Don't you know? They said we can take a rest this morning," Flint answered him as he opened his eyes.

"Is it because Marcia is visiting us that they gave us a half-day off? I didn't expect that Mia would make an exception for anyone," Rocky gruffly contested. He was slowly coming to the understanding that in this society, people also rated power and authority as important. They were willing to break rules when it came to pleasing the powerful people.

"Of course she would make an exception for Marcia. Marcia is one of the Three Great Generals of the Holy Dragon Empire, only second to His Majesty. She will always come first. Even important events will be put aside, not to mention a half-day training. However, I wonder why a Great General wants to watch our training. She can beat us with just one finger. I somewhat find it strange that she's interested in our training," Flint contemplated.

"How powerful is this Marcia?" Rocky asked. Despite having seen Marcia fight the martial arts master from the Timber Deity Empire in a fierce and epic battle, he did not completely know what level she was in. He also did not know about the concept of a martial arts master.

"What I know is that she is at the Divine Stage right now. What I don't really know is how powerful she exactly is, because after one reaches the Supernal Stage, it will be hard to go further than that. It would be incredibly difficult to upgrade to the Divine Stage. They might not upgrade even if they cultivate for several years. Most manipulators at the Immortal Stage only exist in legends and masters at the Divine Stage won't show their real power if it isn't necessary. Therefore the stronger a master is, the more they stay low-key. After all, they had cultivated so hard to enhance their power, and none of them want to draw any attention from enemies," Flint explained.

"She's at the Divine Stage? No wonder she's so powerful," Rocky murmured as he remembered the great power Marcia exhibited before.

Since they had a half-day off, Rocky leisurely had his breakfast. But he still did not want to waste time, so he took Uriah with him back to the bamboo forest and continued to practice spiritual martial arts.

Time flew by quickly and the next thing they knew, it was already afternoon.

Because Rocky was so concentrated on his cultivation, he did not notice that everyone else had gone until he heard a loud noise that came from the direction of the dragon field.

Rocky then immediately left the yard and rushed to the dragon field with Uriah. He saw numerous people crowded in the center of the dragon field as he passed through the gate. They all looked reverent as they stood in two lines.

A fancy carriage surrounded by hundreds of beautiful guards in silver armour soon showed up at the entrance of the dragon field.

The crowd grew even more giddily exuberant as they saw the fancy carriage. Everyone craned their necks, trying to sneak a peek at the beautiful general through the gauze curtain.

Rocky was close to the crowd when the fancy carriage stopped. He did not want to squeeze between the people in the crowd, so he just stood behind them.

A stunning figure then raised the gauze curtain and walked down from the carriage. Everyone finally saw the breathtakingly beautiful face of the general.

Everyone on the dragon field immediately went crazy, exclaiming excitedly at Marcia's beauty.
