The Medallion

Chapter 68 Who Is Better Now

Seeing Uriah charging towards her, Tasha retracted one of the tails and blocked its impact. She made a pose with her tender hands in front of her chest and shouted aloud, light flashing from her eyes. "Chain of fire!"

A couple of chains that were blazing fire, swooped out of the ground around Uriah and entangled it in its grip from all directions. Uriah struggled with its utmost power but with no success. It seemed to be trapped in the chains.

Rocky became serious and intense as he saw Tasha trap Uriah with relative ease. He realized that her strength was far stronger than his, but he was not someone who would give up easily.

While Tasha was busy dealing with Uriah, Rocky took the opportunity to close in on her. He decided to use the skill of the Whirlwind Kick. Just as the aura of this kick began to materialize, Rocky charged towards Tasha.

Tasha pulled back immediately and brandished her three giant tails and that aura exploded to pieces.

Suddenly, Tasha felt a spiritual power which came crushing down on her. She balanced herself and saw a finger shining brightly. It seemed to be passing through her tails and coming straight for her in high speed. It was so fast that she didn't notice how soon it would reach her.

"Such childish play!" Tasha saw right through his trick. She quickly generated waves of fire that devoured the finger.

"Now here comes your payback." Tasha was taken aback. Just when she thought she had figured out Rocky's move, she heard a cold laugh behind her. She instantly turned around and saw Rocky standing there. Somehow he had managed to sneak behind her, and she was so engrossed that she failed to notice his movements.

As soon as he finished that sentence, Tasha saw a dozen palms striking down on her. She was clearly caught off guard as her tails were still out there. And there was no time for retraction. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The audience cheered as they saw that Rocky was still able to turn the tables around, even when the strength of his opponent was far more than his.

However, it was too quick for all to assume that Rocky's sneak attack would be successful against Tasha, who was at the ninth grade of the Mortal Stage at the moment. Tasha had received the most intensive training in the Magic Phoenix Empire. The brutality of her attacks was beyond anyone's imagination.

Just as Rocky thought he was going to succeed, Tasha ascended into the sky. In a single movement, she was able to dodge all of his palms and those attacks.

Rocky was shocked when he saw Tasha use her three giant tails to prop her up into the sky. Such a reflective action was truly amazing.

Now was not the time for Rocky to appreciate her talents. He needed to be alert as Tasha was swooping down from the sky. She flipped her palms as she shouted, "Blaze Palm!" The moment she shouted, fire burst out of her hand. It was coming straight for Rocky, like a firestorm.

There was hardly any time for Rocky to escape from Tasha's attack.

Boom!

The firestorm hit the ground and exploded. Shock waves from its spiritual power sent dust and debris into the air.

Everyone felt pity for Rocky. They knew he couldn't possibly take that hit, which was imbued with Tasha's full force. It was expected to happen, given the gap in their strength.

"It looks like we have the result!" Felicia sounded relieved. She had to admit that Rocky was definitely not an ordinary spirit manipulator. He had managed to gain the upper hand, at least for some time, against an opponent who was a combination of human and spiritual beast and was at the ninth grade of the Mortal Stage.

The emperor looked a little disappointed.

"Basil has already outdone himself. He lost with honor." Lena smiled with appreciation in her eyes.

"Is that all you can do?" Marcia asked from her place in the crowd as she stared ahead at that puff of dust. She was hoping to see Rocky emerge from it.

Just as everyone thought that Rocky had already lost, a wind blew away the dust. A figure seemed to be moving ahead. Unexpectedly, Rocky showed up! To everyone's surprise, Rocky was still standing straight. He was all messy with the dust but had a determined look in his eyes. The Dragon Spirit Mark on his left arm was shining with all kinds of colors and had no apparent pattern.

The audience once again started cheering. They could not believe that Rocky was actually able to stand after taking that extremely strong blow from Tasha.

Felicia and the emperor were among the others who were equally shocked.

"How can he turn out all right?" Erica was also confused at the scene before her eyes.

Tasha had just landed on the ground, panting. She was astonished to see Rocky still standing in front of her. She had hit him with everything she had. Not even for a second had she thought that Rocky would be able to take it.

Under any other circumstances, if it had been any another spirit manipulator of the same strength as Rocky, it would not have been possible for him or her to take such a hit. However, no one was aware

that there was a special ability in Rocky's dragon spiritual power which seemed to have no nature. The ability was that it could devour other spiritual power. He had just used the special ability of his dragon spiritual power to devour most of the power of the hit from Tasha. Of course, he also paid a price for it. He had been hit more than a dozen times by the shock wave, in order to absorb her power.

He looked fine, but the fact was that though he took this hit, he could not take another one from Tasha now.

Fortunately, no one else knew his true condition. The whole square erupted in discussions and speculations.

"If I want to beat someone who is at the ninth grade of the Mortal Stage, I have to acquire more spiritual power." While he was wondering on it, something came to his mind. Suddenly, he grew solemn.

He remembered the resolve he had made to himself. He intended to win this competition and make everyone cheer for him. He wanted the entire Holy Dragon Empire to be proud of him and everyone to know that he was not that weak Basil any longer. He was the man who was going to make history in the Wild Spirit Land.
