The Medallion novel Chapter 99

At this point, it didn't occur to the onlookers that a level one beast evaluator would be able to display the two unique skills that the two well-known beast evaluators, who were regarded as grandmasters, had long mastered. It was an extremely shocking development. Had they not seen for themselves, they would never believe it was true.

What made them feel even more startled was that the young man had grasped two different kinds of Beast Evaluation Skills at the same time. Typically, it was very difficult for a beast evaluator to master one kind, let alone two different ones. Even grandmasters like Carter and Weldon couldn't do that. However, this young man had achieved an impossible thing. This was simply a wonder that was far beyond their expectations. As a result, most of them began to stare at Rocky with incredulous eyes, mixed feelings rushing through them. Presumably, the extraordinary talent of grasping two kinds of Beast Evaluation Skills alone could make him famous. Following this, many beast evaluators would scramble to invite him as their disciple. After all, his endowed talent was so rare, and it was hard to find a young man with such abilities.

Of course, the onlookers, who were still dumbfounded at that moment, didn't have the slightest idea that Rocky's Stroking Evaluation Skill was actually only one of the Magical Evaluation Skills that could be learned by a beast evaluator when he reached the second level. This was according to what was described in the Beast Encyclopedia. Like Carter's skill, Weldon's Stroking Evaluation Skill, which he regarded as an esoteric skill, was actually derived from the Magical Evaluation Skill as well.

At that exact moment, Rocky suddenly got up and burst into peals of laughter, which abruptly broke the dead silence.

Rocky's sudden laughter made the onlookers even more surprised, and they all looked at him with great confusion.

"What are you laughing at?" Carter immediately asked Rocky, totally perplexed.

"I am laughing because someone is going to miss the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup and feel disappointed," Rocky said confidently, looking teasingly at Carter. It was as if he had predicted the final outcome of the competition between them as earlier. They had agreed that if Rocky won, the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup would still belong to the Super Beast Farm.

When the onlookers heard Rocky's words, they thought instinctively, 'Maybe he really has found out something from the good-for-nothing spirit-manipulated beast?' Now, they were even more curious about the final outcome of the competition.

"Hey, young man, don't be so cocky! I'd like to hear your comments about the hidden ability of this good-for-nothing spirit-manipulated beast. If you're mistaken, you should apologize to me immediately and hand over the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup to me," Carter snapped. Although it was definitely shocking when Rocky used two Beast Evaluation Skills at the same time, Carter certainly didn't believe that Rocky had the ability to evaluate the quality of the good-for-nothing beast he had chosen.

"Well, it's quite easy," Rocky replied lightly. All at once, he took the Frozen Wind Dagger that Marcia gave to him from his inner pocket. As he unsheathed it, the Dagger suddenly flashed and its spiritual power made everyone wince.

As the onlookers were lost in thought, trying to figure out why Rocky took out the Frozen Wind Dagger, he suddenly slung the dagger straight at the beast. They gasped, totally taken aback.

"What? Does he want to kill the spirit-manipulated beast because he couldn't find out its special quality?" someone in the crowd cried out.

As soon as Rocky pulled out the Frozen Wind Dagger and stabbed the beast with it, Carter did not stop him. His face gradually turned dreadfully pale.

In the blink of an eye, the Frozen Wind Dagger had already sunk into the beast's hide. Just when the crowd thought that Rocky was trying to kill the beast because he had lost all hope of winning, the dagger suddenly bounced back. Amazingly, the Dagger had not pierced its body! The beast looked safe and unhurt.

Now, everyone in the crowd stared at Rocky in mute amazement. They were losing track of how many times he had made them feel so shocked within so short time.

"This spirit-manipulated beast, although it looks like a good-for-nothing creature, has a very strange body structure. Its fat tissue, strong like silk, is very different from that of an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast. Certain layers of its fat tissue are stacked, indicating that enough stretching force can be formed inside its body and it will be protected by these layers. After any sharp weapon is stabbed into it, the force of that object will be weakened by one point after penetrating a layer of its fat tissue. If there is not enough force to pierce all the layers of its fat tissue, the weapon will bounce back. Moreover, the skin of this beast looks crumpled, but it is actually very hard to be pierced into. Together with the abnormal fat tissue under its skin, its body is actually able to resist any thrust, cut or stab of typical weapons. It's a good fit to take it for a shield against any attack. Although this ability is not very impressive, it will be a good choice if you use it to protect your life. This is the hidden attribute of the beast," Rocky explained slowly to the crowd in detail as he put away his Frozen Wind Dagger.

"Am I right, you dumbass?" Rocky asked Carter, raising his eyebrows. His tone was full of provocation.

Carter looked so irritated and gritted his teeth, but he couldn't find anything to refute what Rocky just said. After all, Rocky was quite right. He had thought that the hiding ability of the beast was very special, and Rocky definitely could not figure it out. But now, it turned out he was completely wrong.

"Hey, young man, what kind of Beast Evaluation Skill are you learning..." Carter asked, frowning angrily.

"The skill I am learning seemed to be called the Magical Evaluation Skill. But to be honest, I haven't been studying it that deeply," Rocky said lightly, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"What? Do you really mean the Ma... Magical Evaluation Skill? Do you know that the Magical Evaluation Skill is a Beast Evaluation Skill, which had been created by the strongest level nine beast evaluator, Sean, in the Wild Spirit Land three hundred years ago? It's said that this Skill is extremely exquisite, profound and extraordinary. Unfortunately, Sean remained unmarried and lonely in his whole life, and he didn't pass the skill to anyone before he died. So after his death, his special skill was lost. But until now, this Magical Evaluation Skill is still a unique skill that all the beast evaluators are eager to learn!" a beast evaluator in the crowd suddenly yelled like crazy. His words immediately made the crowds murmur in excitement, spurring heated and lively discussions to take place.

"Oh, no! He is actually learning the Magical Evaluation Skill which has been lost for about three hundred years. How could he learn it without an instructor?"

"No wonder he was able to evaluate such a good-for-nothing spirit-manipulated beast, which we are unable to."

"What you said is not the most important thing! What's pivotal is the fact that the Magical Evaluation Skill is not a skill that everyone can learn. Anyone who wants to learn it must have very high talent and qualification, because it requires very profound knowledge to grasp it. In other words, only a genius would manage to do this! Although Sean had also accepted several people as his disciples, all his disciples were not talented enough to learn the Magical Evaluation Skill. Finally, they left Sean, established their own school and became famous beast evaluators. Even so, the Beast Evaluation Skill they created still could not be comparable to the Magical Evaluation Skill, and their gap is too far..."

They got so carried away that they were lost in their hot discussion. Although they still had difficulty believing what they had heard, they still had to. They had seen with their own eyes what Rocky had done, after all.

The long-lost Magical Evaluation Skill had reappeared! The implications of its resurrection would certainly soon create a huge storm among the entire Wild Spirit Land.

As soon as Carter heard the words "Magical Evaluation Skill", he was thunderstruck and then felt numb. After all, the founder of his school was one of Sean's disciples three hundred years ago. The founder hadn't even been able to grasp the Magical Evaluation Skill. Thus, after he learned a little bit from Sean, he left and started his own school. The little bit he learned from Sean was called the Radiance Evaluation Skill. And he then passed the little bit to his generations. Of course, this matter was the secret of his own school, which was known by only a select few. And now this young man, Rocky, was telling him that he had learned this impossible skill!
