The Medallion

Chapter 1805 His Real Strength

Without the audience noticing, Rocky, who was holding the hidden weapon between his fingers, stabbed it into Iker's shoulder.

Since Iker was fully restrained, he could not do anything. When he saw what Rocky had done, his face revealed a horrified expression, knowing that he was the one going to be doomed. Moreover, he saw that the look in Rocky's eyes was cold and ruthless as if he did not care at all if his opponent would become disabled for life.

Only then did he realize that he had been completely deceived by Rocky. He thought that he had the upper hand all along, but he was a fool to think that way.

Iker could not even utter a single word. His eyes just widened as he started to accept the bitter truth. Soon enough, he fell to the ground. His entire body writhed and foam formed on his mouth.

Even the spectators were utterly stunned, not understanding how the tables were suddenly turned. Just now, they were confident that Rocky was about to meet his impending doom, but then in a flash, Iker was the one on the ground, incapacitated. At this point, it was clear that Iker could not make any comeback.

Immediately after, the Spiritual Emperor of the Di Clan, who was supervising the match, already decided to end the fight upon seeing the miserable state of Iker. He then announced that Rocky was the winner and instantly sent some people to take Iker away and cure him.

"What did just happen? Basil won again?!"

"It seems so! I can't believe he won against the poison master of the Sovereign Pavilion!"

"What is going on? How can he easily defeat premium-stage Spiritual Emperors when he is just at the medium grade? Is he just hiding his real strength? Anyway, this is really impressive!"

Rocky's fourth consecutive win immediately caused quite a stir. All his matches so far had ended at a fast pace. It was like even before the fights started to heat up, Rocky could already defeat his opponents.

However, this wasn't the end of it.

These easy victories lasted until the eighth round. The more outrageous feat was that among those eight opponents, six of them were powerful premium-grade Spiritual Emperors. The only other candidate who was able to easily defeat his opponents like that was Israel.

That was why after the eighth round, Rocky and Israel was still tied in the first place without any losses. If the two of them maintained this streak, there was a huge possibility that they would have a sure slot in the final battle.

Of course, as for Israel, no one was doubting his strength because he was a premium-grade Spiritual Emperor. However, when it came to Rocky, winning all those eight matches rather easily came as a shock to everyone. Basil was known to be an amazing master in the Ethereal Region before, but after going missing for quite a long time, no one expected that he would make such an astonishing comeback here in the Spiritual Emperor Contest.

Therefore, it could not be helped that people were coming up with speculations and spreading rumors.

After the eighth round, the spectators could somehow see the trend of the candidates that could enter the next round. Right now, Israel and Rocky were undefeated. At the same time, Valeria, Gloria, and Quentin all won six out of eight matches, defeating several premium-stage Spiritual Emperors in the process. Thus, their performances also exceeded the expectations of the crowd.

Before the Spiritual Emperor Contest, people often believed that the chances of a medium-grade Spiritual Emperor beating a premium-grade Spiritual Emperor were almost none. However, this changed dramatically after they watched the matches here in the Spiritual Emperor Contest.

However, these spectators were not aware that these powerful medium-grade Spiritual Emperors were actually Godly Geniuses from the Shura Race that were just hiding their real strength.

Then, in the ninth round, just as everyone thought that Rocky might continue his impressive streak, he unexpectedly gave up at the start of the match. This time, his opponent was none other than Gloria.

Originally, he had no plans of forfeiting the match because it would affect his ranking. However, Rocky clearly knew Gloria's special talents. Once he engaged in a fight with her, there was a huge possibility that she would be able to discover that he was Odin. Hence, he decided that it was better for him to lose this match than to risk it.

Because of this, Rocky's ranking fell a place lower and was now tied to another premium-stage Spiritual Emperor. At the same time, he only had one more win compared to Valeria and the other Godly Geniuses.

Fortunately, this was the only time that he needed to forfeit the match. The rest of his opponents would include the other Godly Geniuses, and he had no reason to hold back.

Meanwhile, because Rocky deliberately gave up at the beginning of his match with Gloria, the plan of Quentin and Drew to kill him failed miserably. Of course, the two Godly Geniuses were pissed off. Hence, Rocky knew that when he faced either of the two, it would certainly be a fierce battle.

Sure enough, when the tenth round came, Rocky's opponent turned out to be Drew.

Just like all the other Godly Geniuses, Drew participated in the contest by disguising himself and registering as a medium-grade Spiritual Emperor. However, Rocky observed from his previous matches that Drew must have already reached the premium stage.

"Hey, Drew. You must ensure that Basil will be disabled this time. We cannot let him enter the final battle!" Quentin reminded before the match started. At this moment, there was still some time before

the tenth round officially started. Hence, the participants were still taking their time to make some preparations.

"You don't need to tell me that. I won't show mercy. Just wait and see!" Drew said with a cold and confident smile.

After that, he eventually went to the area where his battle with Rocky would take place.

Soon enough, Rocky and Drew were already on the stage, and their fight was about to start.

This match was actually crucial for both of them. Right now, Drew was just a win lower than Rocky, meaning that if he won this round, he could already catch up with Rocky. For this reason, the battle also attracted a lot of attention. The audience wanted to know if Drew could turn the tables and give Rocky his second defeat. In fact, even Colton personally came to watch the battle.

However, Colton did not really come to support Rocky. He knew that Rocky was about to take on a Godly Genius, so he actually came to take care of the situation in case unexpected trouble suddenly arose.

Among the crowd, Eunice and Carla were also watching quietly.

The two women were actually very surprised at Rocky's performances in his previous matches. Although they knew that he was just hiding his strength, they were still astounded at how strong he already got.

At the same time, they were still worried because they knew that Rocky was up against another Godly Genius. Last time, he instantly gave up when he was about to fight Gloria. Therefore, they were not sure if he was going to do the same this time.

While the two candidates were already on the stage, no one really made an effort to speak with each other. Instead, Drew was just oozing with killing intent as he glared at Rocky.

Of course, Rocky could clearly sense the murderous will that was gushing out of Drew. He knew that his opponent was serious about taking him down, just as how Iker was.

'I can't afford to hold back this time. I will need to show some of my hidden skills.' Rocky was aware that Drew's real strength must be much stronger than an ordinary premium-stage Spiritual Emperor. He would have to defeat Drew without unleashing all of his strength, so this was definitely not going to be easy for him. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Moreover, the difference in strength between a member of the Shura Race and a human, who were both at the premium stage, was still pretty huge. It could actually be compared to the gap between a middle-stage human Spiritual Emperor and a premium-stage human Spiritual Emperor. The reason for this huge gap was quite simple. The Shura Race had a higher standard of strength compared to both the human race and the spiritual race. Moreover, they had a much stronger physique and had the ability to demonize. Therefore, the overall strength of the Shura Race was definitely much stronger than the human race.

In other words, if Rocky had been using the strength of a Spiritual Emperor at the medium stage to deal with his opponents before, then he would be forced to use the strength at the premium stage to fight and defeat Drew.

The problem was that this would undoubtedly reveal his true strength. However, since this was already the tenth round, and the match was a very crucial one in securing his slot in the final battle, Rocky had no reason to hesitate to accomplish what he had to.

Besides, he would have to reveal his real strength when he fought Israel.
