The Medallion

Chapter 1756 A Voice Sounded

Since everyone now knew his identity as Basil, Rocky now had no reason to hold back his real strength. On top of this, he was itching to know how powerful he really was.

He relentlessly fought one battle after another in the Myriad Illusionary Array and made it to the fiftieth pass in only a couple of hours. But he knew that he still had a lot more to give.

A few moments later, he was now at the sixtieth pass.

At the same time, people started to gather around the Myriad Illusionary Array.

However, they didn't come for Rocky's awesome display of his skill, but for another Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race. The fact that he participated in the competition was already something people didn't expect.

What was more, he was already challenging the sixtieth pass, which meant that he was one step in front of Rocky.

"Wow, Basil is really powerful! He's already making his way towards the sixtieth pass!"

"I wonder how powerful he really is. Is he actually a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor? I remember he was just a Spiritual King when he first entered the Sky-suppressing School, but now he managed to improve his strength like this in such a short span of time! He really is one of a kind!"

Four hours later, Rocky had already reached the sixty-ninth pass! For most, this was the limit of a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor.

The talented Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race mentioned earlier managed to reach the seventieth pass, one step in front of Rocky.

There was only one pass between the two.

Everyone was at the edge of their seats, waiting for Rocky to proceed with the pass, but to their dismay, he decided to call it quits in an anti-climactic fashion. He didn't want to reveal to everyone that he was actually as capable as a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.

However, he still made sure to break the record reached by a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor, which was recently sixty-fifth passes.

After Rocky withdrew from the test, the talented Spiritual Emperor also stopped at the seventieth pass.

After the limit test, the potential test was next in line for them.

Because of Basil's captivating performance, people swarmed the entrance of the Imperial Soul Testing Array to watch. They wanted to know whether the previous test was only a fluke or if he was the real deal.

Up to now, Rocky's ranking was still the third place. If he didn't perform well in the potential test, he would miss the opportunity to enter the third round.

While everyone was waiting in anticipation for the test to start, the crowd started buzzing with talks about him.

"I think his soul potential is at least at the middle grade of the Earth Stage!"

"Maybe it's at the high grade of the Earth Stage!"

"Stop overestimating him too much! We can't guess the potential of his Imperial Soul based on his strength, since they're totally irrelevant!"

Four hours had passed as people heatedly discussed among themselves.

Then, the crowd hushed in silence as they saw Rocky finish the potential test in the Imperial Soul Testing Array. Everyone was itching to know the result, and as soon as it was announced, everyone was shell-shocked.

"Basil, the high grade of the Heaven Stage!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"What? The high-grade of the Heaven Stage?! That's impossible!"

"Did I hear it wrong? This should be a mistake."

"It must be! Contestant number ninety-nine from the last test also had his results come out wrong! At first the potential of his Imperial Soul was classified at the middle grade of the Heaven Stage, but upon re-examining, the potential of his Imperial Soul fell to the high-grade of the Earth Stage."

"Yes! I remember it! It's very likely that this one's wrong too!"

Even Rocky himself was surprised to hear this since in his previous soul potential test, the potential of his Imperial Soul only reached the middle grade of the Heaven Stage. When he thought about this again, he realized it might be because he practiced the Mysterious Soul Formula lately.

The result was so shocking that the Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan immediately reported it to Colton.

Like the others, Colton was also surprised to hear this, but he did not order a reexamination. Instead, he sent a message to the Spiritual Emperor responsible for the test.

As soon as the latter received the message, he quickly hushed the lively crowd and reported, "According to the chief of the Di Clan, Basil can directly enter the last round considering his extraordinary soul potential."

The announcement of this decision left everyone speechless. Never had they anticipated that Rocky would qualify for the last round without further checking. But soon, they figured that since the potential

of his Imperial Soul was identified to be at the high grade of the Heaven Stage, it might be possible that he had not yet fully displayed his strength. Perhaps the Di Clan favored him because of this respect, and thus they made an exception for him.

But overall, the sudden development of events remained a shock to everyone.

Meanwhile, some representatives from different forces now viewed Rocky in a different light. For them, he was a precious treasure waiting to be caught!

A Spiritual Emperor with an afro immediately rushed over to Rocky and excitedly asked, "Sir Basil, would you like to join our Earth Dragon Sect? Our leader took note of your extraordinary talent and would like to gift you these fine treasures!" He took out a bottle of pills and handed it to Rocky with both hands respectfully.

"Wow. This is so generous of you! Thank you!" Rocky said, pretending to be flattered.

"You're welcome. If you are willing to join our sect, you can have as many as you want," the Spiritual Emperor boasted proudly.

"Really? Thank you, but unfortunately, such low-grade pills are useless for me," Rocky replied with a smile.

"Wh... What?" The Spiritual Emperor with an afro was stunned.

The crowd burst into a fit of laughter while the other representatives snickered to themselves at the side. How could this man be so ignorant enough to offer someone as powerful as Rocky low-grade pills? He was practically begging to be insulted!

"Shame on you! Your sect doesn't deserve such a talented warrior like him," another representative chimed in as he made his way towards Rocky. He then turned around and said, "Sir Basil, please join

our sect. We are a rising force in the Ethereal Region and we are rapidly improving. With you by our side, we'll be unstoppable! If you agree to join us, you'll be awarded the title an elder. This is how much we respect you. What do you think?"

"I'm used to being a free man. I'm not interested in being an elder!" Rocky refused as he waved his hand.

"I can tell that you're not a narrow-minded man. Why don't you join our Happiness Valley Sect? If it's freedom you value, then we're the most liberated sect in the Ethereal Region. If you join us, you'll not only be an elder, but you'll also have a handful of stunning female Spiritual Kings under your disposal if you know what I mean..." A charming female Spiritual Emperor appeared in front of him as she deliberately show her cleavage to seduce Rocky.

"If all of those female Spiritual Kings are as stunning as you, then I might have to consider your offer," Rocky said, smiling as he kept his eyes locked on to the woman's chest.

"As long as you wish, I can assist you in person," the female Spiritual Emperor said as she winked at him.

"Oh, thanks. But I'm not interested in women older than me." Rocky shook his head.

The crowd burst into laughter once again.

Her face turned a bright red in humiliation and anger, but she couldn't lose her temper in public.

Seeing him turn down another offer, many more were getting ready to approach Rocky. But before they could open their mouths, Rocky said to them, "Stop wasting your breath. I'm sorry, but I'm really not interested in joining any sect."

All the representatives were disappointed since Rocky seemed to be refusing all the forces.

Suddenly, a sweet voice rang out from the crowd. "What about an invitation from the Sky-suppressing Mansion? Would you really turn down a request from me?"
