The Medallion

Chapter 71 You Versus Me

"Basil! Basil!" An exuberant cheer, followed by loud applause, echoed in the air in the huge space among the audiences. Everyone felt exhilarated for Rocky's victory and stood up together to praise him.

Overwhelmed by the support from people, Rocky withdrew his left hand from Uriah's forehead and stroked it gently. Uriah's power was transformed into Rocky as he absorbed the yellow spiritual crystal's spiritual power. It looked exhausted now.

"That's no fucking way! How's that possible?! Why did it happen so?" Tasha busted in pain with tears filling her eyes. She could not admit that she didn't defeat Rocky. And, what made her more terrified was the fact that Rocky pierced through the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage and entered the Earthly Stage. After withdrawing the Spirit Possession, she returned to the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage. Also, she and her war beast both felt dead tired now, because of the Spirit Possession.

Hit by a wave of gloom, she felt anxious that she could not defeat him even if he was still at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage. Now being so late, he had already reached the Earthly Stage. But, Tasha was such a confident and triumphant woman, who had never suffered a failure. It was painful for her to accept the reality. At that instant, Rocky soothed her by saying, "Come on, Tasha! Just accept the result." This was like adding fuel to the burning fire as Tasha was already fighting a fierce battle within herself.

If the match lasted, it was obvious that Tasha would be hit by Rocky. But, the man didn't want that to happen as he did not like to hurt a girl.

"Never!" Tasha exploded in anger. She had lost her consciousness, and then she routed all her left power into her palm and threw fire attacks at Rocky.

Being a patient guy, he didn't overreact but waved his left hand as the fire attacks were targeted towards him. In seconds, those attacks scattered in the air. In short, they were consumed by his dragon

spiritual power. Now that he had reached the Earthly Stage, his dragon spiritual power grew stronger as well. It could absorb the spiritual power from a Mortal Stage manipulator instantly. When Tasha saw Rocky breezily took her strikes, her eyes widened in astonishment. She finally realized the great gap between her and Rocky, but she could still not accept that reality. Rocky and she were both at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage at the beginning of the match, but suddenly to her surprise, he had attained the Earthly Stage.

How could she accept a guy like Rocky outsmarting her in a few seconds? In a second, Rocky had stood in front of Tasha. "You are not going to accept your failure?" Rocky asked Tasha. "No way!" Her lip curled in contempt. Then she intended another fire strike on Rocky's chest.

"Okay, fine! Don't blame me later then! I need to win this game for sure!" Rocky said as he shifted his dragon spiritual power to his left palm. He then fluttered his left arm, and in seconds, his spiritual power scattered in the air just like shining stars in the sky at night.

"It's the Vast Nebula Skill! But he has just reached the Earthly Stage! How could he master the Vast Nebula Skill in such a short span?" Marcia was taken aback at what she saw. She didn't know that Rocky had memorized the Vast Nebula Skill in detail after she sent that to him. By the time he reached the Earthly Stage, it was pretty easy for him to master the Vast Nebula Skill. Meanwhile, Tasha overreacted in a panic the moment she caught her eyes on him.

But it was late already. As Rocky slowly extended to his palm, the scintillating spiritual power started surging in the air and directed towards Tasha. In a matter of seconds, Tasha had been enveloped.

Feeling choked by the universal pressure, the woman was scared to shout. At the moment Rocky's spiritual power almost hit her, a figure appeared and reached out a palm to defeat his spiritual power. Within a few seconds, Rocky's spiritual power had been defended and disappeared into the air. Simultaneously, the figure caught Tasha up to keep her balance. "Erica!" Ascending her head up, the

woman cried pointing towards Erica's face. But, then she fainted as her spiritual power and strength had been exhausted.

"Tasha!" Erica, however, thought it was Rocky's attack made Tasha pass out. So she scowled at Rocky as she slowly laid Tasha down on the ground. She then stood up and pointed to Rocky. "You versus me! Now!" When the others on the spot heard Erica, they were dumbstruck in astonishment.

Being an martial arts master, Erica had reached the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage at her tender age. And now she was challenging Rocky who just reached the Earthly Stage. It was unexpected as Rocky could not even near Erica in her expertise.

Every audience had been conceiving the scene of talented Erica performing in a fight. So they didn't want such a unique opportunity to slip away in front of them. "Accept her challenge, Basil!"

"Accept!"

"Accept!"

... Many people screeched in excitement.

Everything happened rapidly, so Felicia didn't have the time to stop Erica at all, with her eyebrows furrowed. Before she raised, the emperor said, "Just easy! Preceptor Felicia! Don't worry! That's just a small game. Since your student wants to fight against Basil, let them have the chance to learn new skills. After all, it was a great chance for my son to learn from an expert like Erica."

"But..." As Felicia scowled with worries, the situation had turned worse for the Magic Phoenix Empire. And what Erica was doing now only drove the Magic Phoenix Empire into a more embarrassing situation. Other people would rather assume that was a tricky game for the Holy Dragon Empire and mock at the Magic Phoenix Empire.

"Relax, Preceptor Felicia!" the emperor said quietly. After all, Rocky had turned the tables. And now Erica, the proud talent from the Magic Phoenix Empire, was challenging Rocky voluntarily. No matter what the results would be, the Holy Dragon Empire would not suffer any losses or humiliation. Of course, Felicia knew what the emperor was speculating, but she had no other option now. If she tended to interrupt and end the game, she would put the Magic Phoenix Empire into an appalling situation. The Holy Dragon Empire would only think that the Magic Phoenix Empire couldn't afford a failure at all. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

So she leaned back with hesitation. When Rocky heard Erica, he was startled in astonishment. As he gazed at the woman, he was mesmerized by her alluring beauty, fair complexion and enticing figure.

Erica felt so embarrassed under Rocky's stare and shouted at him, "Why don't you speak up? Fine! Then I will take your silence as confirmation." Clenching her fists in anger, she aroused her spiritual power. To his surprise, two figures appeared in front of Rocky and conversed at the same time. "I will fight along with you."

The two figures halted as they heard each other. And they cried out in shock as they stared at each other.

"Master Mia!" "Your Royal Highness!"

Those who supported for Rocky were Mia and Lena.

Their unexpected presence on the spot took the climax to a new dimension.
