The Medallion novel Chapter 64

"That is the strength of the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage! What just happened? How could he have reached the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage..." Priest Dean who was sitting near the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was startled upon seeing Rocky's display of his mighty strength. Although he was well-informed and had lived long enough to see a lot of wonders, he was still stupefied by what he had just seen.

"Humph! Who used to accuse Basil of being a waste? Are you seeing this? In just a span of two months, he had already reached the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage. Even the eldest prince, Alston, wasn't able to achieve that when he was Basil's age," Lena said as she beamed with joy. Meanwhile, she threw a scornful glance at Priest Dean. She always disliked him for being mean towards Basil.

"What? He did all of it in two months? Are you saying that since the day he fused with the Holy Dragon Bead, it only took him two whole months to reach his current level?" Erica, hearing what Lena said, was also completely startled. If she didn't see it for herself, she probably wouldn't believe it to be true. As a well-known phoenix spirit manipulator, she had to admit that even she couldn't make that happen in a span of two months.

Felicia who was next to Erica also had the same startled look on her face. Though she was knowledgeable and had seen a lot of amazing things, never had she heard of such a huge and quick improvement her whole life.

"To be more precise, it only took him two months to leap from the first grade of the Mortal Stage to the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage. After his fusion with the Holy Dragon Bead, Basil did not get the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in an instant. It means that roughly two months ago, he was still stuck at the first grade of the Mortal Stage," Lena who cared for Basil very much and knew what had happened to him explained carefully. She wanted to emphasize that Rocky made a very significant breakthrough without any foundation in his cultivation.

When Felicia and Erica heard her detailed explanation, the expression on their faces changed dramatically. For a while, they just couldn't find the right words to express what they were feeling. They all kept their silence but their minds raced wildly. If what Lena said was true, it only proved that Rocky was definitely a peerless talent among the spirit manipulators. On the other hand, in such absence of any foundation, how could he have created such a wonderful feat when all he had was the Holy Dragon Bead?

"As the rightful heir to the most precious blood of the Holy Dragon Empire, he really does live up to his reputation... Your Majesty, you really gave us a big surprise..." Felicia who was well known for her high standards couldn't help but exclaim after everything they just saw.

"Preceptor Felicia, you flatter me! My son Basil works very hard but he is not talented," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire said modestly. At least, Basil was not a talent before. But since he had fused with the Holy Dragon Bead, he had been totally changed to a different man. As his father, the emperor felt like he never had a sufficient understanding of his own son.

"If he had not been qualified to be regarded as a talent, then our Magic Phoenix Empire should feel ashamed for our lack of such genius like him. I believe he is the only person whose talent could even be superior to my disciple, Erica," Felicia said honestly. She always appreciated people with talent. When she saw Rocky show his talents multiple times, she had been so impressed. If he was not the son of the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, she would probably try to convince him to be a citizen of the Magic Phoenix Empire at all costs.

Hearing the uplifting words from the imperial preceptor of the Magic Phoenix Empire, the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire said nothing as a smile flickered in his eyes. However, this smile didn't last very long.

When the man saw that Rocky showed his strength of the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage, he suddenly felt a little scared. Yet, before he could figure out a new skill to use against Rocky, the next moment, Rocky had already rushed towards him.

In a state of panic, the man desperately cried, "Medusa..." Obviously, out of instinct, he wanted to summon his war beast to protect himself.

However, all he heard was a painful roar from Medusa. He saw that Uriah was holding Medusa in its mouth and threw it into the sky. As a result, it flew out of the square and within a split second, fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Losing his last resort, the man suddenly turned pale as a piece of paper. Apparently, he had lost all his momentum and was no longer in the right condition to continue the fight. In the end, he had no other choice but to surrender and spare himself from the struggle.

At that moment, the audience suddenly cheered as loud as they could. As citizens of the Holy Dragon Empire, they were very excited to see Rocky's outstanding performance at such a critical moment. His victory had won three points for their empire. As a result, the score between their empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire was now tied at six. The contestants of the powerful Magic Phoenix Empire were deterred by the amazing strength of Rocky. Now, at the ring, there was only one last contestant left to compete against him. Both of them were at the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage.

Therefore, the next fight was about to be the final match between the Holy Dragon Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire.

Since both Rocky and the last contestant of the Magic Phoenix Empire were at the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage, their fight would be an intense battle of equal strength. At that moment, everyone in the audience was lost in their thoughts. But they all had a glimmer of hope that they could claim the final victory for their empire.

"Your Majesty, it is very rare for us to witness such a wonderful contest. To make the contest more attractive, we the Magic Phoenix Empire will no longer hide our trump card from everyone," Felicia said abruptly. She knew Rocky was a strong competitor and she didn't want to lose the contest. Thus, she decided it was time for them to use their trump card. Once Felicia was done speaking, she immediately nodded at Erica.
