The Medallion

Chapter 73 A Wonderful Game

Mia blushed when she heard Rocky. She then argued, "When did I ever say such a thing? I don't remember that at all!"

"How could you..." Rocky's lips curled in disappointment.

"Stay right here! Once I'm done with Erica, I will come back for you and teach you a lesson." Mia winked at Rocky and then turned to face Erica.

Erica had already prepared herself for the upcoming fight. She completely ignored Mia and laid her eyes on Rocky.

The reason why she cared about Rocky was not just because he defeated Tasha. When she heard her master marvel at Rocky's performance, jealousy began to boil in her chest. She had always been the best talent but now Rocky had surpassed her. How could she possibly accept that? Rocky reached the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage from the first grade within a span of two mouths. Such a quick breakthrough had overshadowed her strength. And now she just witnessed that he reached the Earthly Stage in the blink of an eye. No one in the Wild Spirit Land had done such a thing before.

She wanted to know what was so special about Rocky on earth. But deep down inside, she just could not accept that she was overshadowed by Rocky in the aspects of cultivation progress and talent.

"Your time has come, Scarlet Flame Dragon!" Mia opened the Magic Spiritual Space and called her Scarlet Flame Dragon out. The Scarlet Flame Dragon was a four-star spirit-manipulated beast that had reached its highest level. What's more, the Scarlet Flame Dragon was obviously much superior to its peers.

Among the royal spirit manipulators who were below the Supernal Stage, both Mia and her war beast were on the top three list. Without a doubt, Mia had a great future awaiting her. And the emperor of the

Holy Dragon Empire thought highly of her as well. That was why the emperor appointed her as the instructor in charge of training the new royal spirit manipulators.

Apart from her being an excellent spirit manipulator, her grandfather's influence was also a key reason. Her grandfather who had reached the high grade of the Divine Stage was a great general who used to assist three emperors in governing the Holy Dragon Empire. Even the current emperor had to show some respect to him. With her grandfather serving as her backer, Mia smoothly got the high position job in the imperial government.

Mia inherited her talent in dragon manipulation from her grandfather. When she reached the Earthly Stage, her talent for dragon manipulation had rocked the whole Holy Dragon Empire that year. Even to this day, lots of Supernal Stage masters could not compare with Mia in the matter of dragon manipulation. Now that she was twenty five years old, the moment she reached the Supernal Stage, she would be a member of the mainstays of the Holy Dragon Empire.

Although Mia's talent for cultivation could not compare with Erica, Mia's spirit manipulation skill was way better than Erica's without a doubt.

Mia and Erica, obviously, were neck and neck considering all their unique strengths and weaknesses.

The moment Mia summoned her war dragon, Erica whistled calmly.

About a few moments later, a giant figure blocked the sunlight and casted a giant shadow over the venue. Everyone on the area looked up immediately and was greeted with a colossal creature flying over the sky. A strong wind brought by the creature threw stones and sand in all directions. Enveloped by the cloud of sand, the creature landed beside Erica. It was her war beast, the Glint Phoenix.

Erica's Glint Phoenix was also a four-star war beast. Although it only reached the third grade, it was almost as strong as Mia's Scarlet Flame Dragon. The Glint Phoenix was a rare kind of phoenix. Such a spiritual beast was much superior to other spirit-manipulated beasts.

Without a doubt, the appearance of the Scarlet Flame Dragon and the Glint Phoenix attracted everyone's attention at once. Things had taken an interesting turn. The fight between the two beautiful women stirred up a ruckus among the audience. They were murmuring about who they thought would win the game in the end. And nobody remembered that Erica initially wanted to challenge Rocky instead of Mia. Obviously, Mia had stolen his thunder.

Rocky, however, didn't mind any of it at all. Meanwhile, Uriah had walked back towards him. Rocky and Uriah also joined the audience and were very excited for the game to start.

Both Mia and Erica were well prepared for the upcoming fight. Simultaneously, they disappeared on the spot and stood at the center of the venue in a flash.

"Gust Strike!" As Mia made a spin, a strong vortex of airflow appeared around her. She then flapped her arms and shaped the vortex into a semilunar blade. Without stopping for a second, the forceful blade charged towards Erica as it blew hard. The strike fully showed the power of her Wind abilities.

"Thunder Growling!" Erica also launched her attack the same time she did. All of a sudden, the sky was rumbling. She then raised up her hands and channeled her spiritual power to her hands. In a split second, two lightning bolts that were formed by her spiritual power appeared around her hands and targeted the wind blade at once.

The second the two forces hit each other, a strong impact took place that ended with a bright and dazzling light. The two talents who were both at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage brought everyone to their feet.

Mia and Erica exerted all their strength in their attacks. They knew well that a single quick and critical strike could significantly improve their chances to win the game.

Meanwhile, the Scarlet Flame Dragon and the Glint Phoenix had flown over their masters' heads and started a brilliant fight. As the Scarlet Flame Dragon opened its mouth, raging flames immediately charged towards the Glint Phoenix. The flames were much fiercer than those it threw at Rocky before. From where Rocky stood, the Scarlet Flame Dragon's mouth looked like a violent volcano. As he witnessed that image, he finally understood that Mia had shown him great mercy that day. If the Scarlet Flame Dragon had thrown such a forceful attack at him, he would have been burned into ashes in an instant.

The Glint Phoenix, however, didn't dodge the fire attacks but calmly flapped its wings. In a matter of seconds, its spiritual power sparkled around its body to form a shining dome that protected it from harm. Whenever the fire attacks from the Scarlet Flame Dragon would hit the protective dome, the attack would be rebounded from the dome and would fall on the ground. The fire attacks then left large black markings on the ground.

Every spiritual beast was born with their own special ability. Obviously, the special ability of Erica's Glint Phoenix was defensive. It could throw back any of its opponent's attacks. But this ability had a disadvantage. If the Glint Phoenix met a stronger opponent, the ability would be significantly weakened. The Glint Phoenix, however, was almost as strong as the Scarlet Flame Dragon, which meant the tiny gap didn't influence its effectiveness at all.
