The Medallion

Chapter 65 About To Become The Laughing Stock (Part Two)

Erica, as Felicia's best disciple, knew what she was talking about at once. She then got up from her seat and disappeared to fulfill her request.

"Preceptor Felicia, I am confused. What exactly are you talking about?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire asked out of curiosity.

"Be patient, Your Majesty, you'll find out in a second," Felicia responded to ease his mind. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Just before the last contestant of the Magic Phoenix Empire appeared on the ring, Erica suddenly showed up in front of her and whispered a few words in her ear. After she was done whispering, Erica returned to her original seat.

The final contestant of the Magic Phoenix Empire, also known as a phoenix spirit manipulator, finally showed up on the ring and stood right in front of Rocky with a three-star war beast with her. Its shape was like a wolf but its face looked like a fox. Rocky found it was wagging its three very bright and thick red tails and that the aura it was exuding was no inferior to Uriah. Both of them were at the second grade of the three-star level.

"I didn't expect you to be such a little beauty," Rocky said after taking a careful look at his opponent. She was about sixteen years old or so, probably the youngest among all the seven phoenix spirit manipulators. Yet, her strength had reached the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage. As the youngest phoenix spirit manipulator, she was also the most powerful. Besides, she seemed innocent, lovely, and tender, while her eyes were as big as grapes. If she grew up a little, she would definitely look gorgeous and would attract quite a lot of attention.

"Erica told me that I don't need to hold back in our fight. If I succeed in defeating you, she will give me a red spiritual crystal as a reward, so I'll make it certain that you lose to me," the big-eyed girl said in a naive tone.

"Little girl, what is your name?" Rocky asked as he immediately put on a wicked smile which made the others think of like some kind of weird stranger.

"Tasha Tian," the girl answered briefly.

"Tasha, are you sure you can defeat me?" Rocky asked beamingly with his arms around his chest. In his mind, his real strength was at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage, while Tasha was only at the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage. As long as he exerted his full strength, Tasha would lose without a doubt.

"Erica was right. She told me you would underestimate my strength. But I'm telling you before we begin, I am not at the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage. My master told me that I needed to hide my real strength a bit so that the people from the Holy Dragon Empire wouldn't have to experience a crushing defeat," Tasha said naively as she winked her big eyes.

After comprehending her words, Rocky was alarmed and his facial expression changed abruptly. Meanwhile, he suddenly felt that Tasha's phoenix spiritual power began to change. In no time, he noticed that Tasha's left face and the corner of her left eye suddenly had a few marks that were similar to his Dragon Spirit Mark. Her naive look was gone. Instead, she became somewhat seductively charming.

Earlier, he had been wondering why he couldn't see the phoenix spirit manipulators with some marks on their arms that were similar to him. It turned out that they also had that marks but in different parts of their bodies. Others may not be able to see those marks easily. At that moment, due to the increase in Tasha's spiritual power, she could no longer hide her spiritual marks anymore.

All at once, Rocky saw a sudden burst of spiritual power coming out of Tasha. Like a huge blowout, there was also a powerful aura surrounding her body which indicated her actual level of strength. Obviously, it shone brighter than Rocky's.

"She is at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage..." Rocky glanced at her and immediately detected that Tasha's strength had been raised to the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage. Evidently, he was not the only one who tried to hide their actual strength.

When the people watching the contest saw that Tasha's strength suddenly increased dramatically, they were also alarmed and dumbfounded. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel worried for Rocky. They initially thought it would be a close match. However, before they could even begin the fight, drastic change had already broken out which made their glimmer hope of victory fade slowly. They all believed that the phoenix spirit manipulator now had better chances of winning.

"Preceptor Felicia, who exactly is this phoenix spirit manipulator..." The emperor also witnessed the entire change as his look slightly changed. It never occurred to him that the Magic Phoenix Empire's new phoenix spirit manipulator could reach the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage so soon! Thus, he couldn't help but ask Felicia about her identity.

"Her name is Tasha Tian. As the most talented girl among the new phoenix spirit manipulators in our Magic Phoenix Empire, she only comes second to Erica, my best disciple. Tasha is also my final disciple. Her talent may not be comparable to Prince Basil. But as a member of the royal family, the prince had fused with the Holy Dragon Bead. Thus, even though he has his current strength, I only take it for granted." Felicia obviously wanted to win back some of their honor. After all, from only a moment ago, there had been three phoenix spirit manipulators who had been defeated by Rocky. If the Holy Dragon Empire changed the result of the contest to finally win the contest, then for the delegates of the Magic Phoenix Empire, there would no longer be any meaning to their visit of the Holy Dragon Empire. And if the result was spread out, others would regard their failure as a laughing matter. As the imperial preceptor of the Magic Phoenix Empire, Felicia couldn't bear to suffer from such consequences.
