The Medallion

Chapter 75 Call It A Day

It would be quite impossible for Rocky who was at the first grade of the Earthly Stage to successfully take a hit from someone who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Everyone who saw what happened was thinking that Rocky had bitten more than he could swallow

despite his admirable courage.

Lena grew worried as she saw Rocky take a hit to protect Mia who had been wounded.

The emperor who had always been calm and steady was a little bit unsettled. Rocky was becoming a national treasure to the entire Holy Dragon Empire. If he was somehow hurt or worse, if he died in an ordinary competition, it would be a tragic and tremendous loss for his country.

Alston looked as if he was in grief and was deeply concerned while he wished from the bottom of his heart that Rocky buried himself over this and got killed by Erica, which would be one less obstacle for his desire to get the throne.

Just as everyone was worried about Rocky, he was also embarking on a dangerous stage as he was taking a continuous beating from his opponent who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Although he had unleashed his dragon spiritual power to absorb the spiritual power from her move, the opponent was still too overwhelming for him. Even if he managed to absorb all of its power, it would overload his own body causing it to explode from within.

"Basil, you need to step out of the way......" Mia had never thought that Rocky who she had been giving a hard time by providing extra workload during his training would step up and take the hit that was meant for her. At that moment, Mia knew that Rocky could no longer withstand the beating given his current strength and he might even get himself killed. Seeing that he was still tightly holding on, Mia could not help but shout at him in panic in hopes that he would stand down. Meanwhile she felt warm inside as she was being cared for and protected. It was something that she had never felt before as no man had ever thrown himself in the pit for her the same way Rocky did.

Rocky was indeed trying to save Mia. He was not a man of cold blood. It was Mia who stood up for him under the provocation of Erica and now that she was in distress, Rocky would not hesitate for a second to come and help her. Although he knew that Erica was way more powerful than he was, he still chose to step in regardless of what could possibly happen to him.

His action was not completely out of passion or desire to get himself killed, which everyone thought was his motivation. Only Rocky himself knew about the true strength that he possessed. It was a long shot and he put his life at risk, but he believed that it was better than doing nothing knowing that Mia was in danger.

Rocky suddenly looked solemn as he took a deep breath and sped up the process of absorbing the strong spiritual power until he took it all inside of his body.

The overwhelming power disappeared right in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone widened their eyes as they saw Rocky take the hit but didn't have a single scratch on him. It was way beyond their wildest imagination. "He is truly mesmerizing!" Everyone thought in their heads. They were so dumbfounded that they started to believe Rocky might be a deity himself.

Everyone including the emperor, Felicia, and Lena was all astonished by the amazing power demonstrated by Rocky.

Even Erica froze for a second as she found that all the spiritual power she exerted was gone in an instant. Her opponent was a spirit manipulator who had just made it to the Earthly Stage yet he was powerful enough to take everything from her. This was something unimaginable if not impossible.

The audience was still marveling at the extraordinary scene yet none of them had noticed that Rocky was standing a little weird way, motionless like a statue. He was extremely calm on the outside but there was a storm raging inside his body as he just took in all of Erica's spiritual power. It seemed as ifNôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

he was concentrating on directing the course of this energy. With a single misstep or distraction, he could explode.

He was still waiting for the perfect opportunity to defeat Erica once and for all.

Erica looked surprised when she saw Rocky withstood her attack, but deep down she was angry to her core as she couldn't handle such humiliation. It was understandable as it should have been a piece of cake for her to defeat a spirit manipulator at the Earthly Stage. However, not only did she fail to defeat Rocky, he stood there unscathed which was a complete insult to her more than anything else.

She was getting very close to losing her temper.

Erica bit her lips as she shot a cold look at him. She was oozing with killing intent as she tightened her fists. There was no way she was going to let Rocky survive her next attack.

"Your Majesty, the way I see it, we already have our result right in front of us. Let's just call it a day before it gets out of control." Seeing that Erica's face was turning solemn, Lena immediately suggested to the emperor to stop the contest as she was deeply worried about Rocky's safety.

The emperor snapped out of it and came around. Hearing Lena's suggestion, he also looked concerned. Mia had already lost. Although Rocky successfully survived a hit from Erica, there was no way he could do it again. Judging from his own experience, the emperor was convinced that Rocky's miraculous run should end right then and there.
