The Medallion

Chapter 54 Enhancing Rapidly (Part Two)

Rocky concentrated and activated the fifth grade of the Mysterious Dragon Skill as he soon felt the dragon spiritual power immediately linked with the spiritual power gathering crystal. The spiritual power gathering crystal began to twinkle constantly and gathered the spiritual energy between heaven and the earth. With the linking of the spiritual power, the spiritual power the gathering crystal absorbed was flown into Rocky's body through a channel which was served as a vessel growing outside his body.

Because it was the first time Rocky ever used the spiritual power gathering crystal and he was mesmerized by the magic and the wonderful feeling, he sat beside the pond for entirely one day and one night.

When he opened his eyes, a sharp light was emitted out of his body. At the same time, he jumped into the air. With the powerful spiritual power rushing out of his body, the multicolored light shone fiercely like the sun.

Rumble!

Under the strong impact of the spiritual power, the dust around the pond was blown into the air as the once quiet pond rippled violently.

"I think I've just reached the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage!" Rocky muttered in surprise the moment he landed. He had not expected that he could reach the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage so soon just by cultivating through the spiritual power gathering crystal for an entire day. It was as exciting as riding the rollercoaster.

Rocky needed at least ten days to half a month before he was able to reach the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage. But currently, he was able to break into the fifth grade of the Mortal Stage so quickly with the help of the magic power of the spiritual power gathering crystal.

"General Gorgeous. I love you so much!" Rocky couldn't help but kiss the spiritual power gathering crystal before he put it back into the silk bag. If anyone knew that Rocky had such a magical treasure in his possession, they would definitely try their best to take it away from him.

It was already afternoon. Apparently, Rocky had already missed his morning training. When he had returned to his room, he was immediately requested to go to Mia's office.

"Is this your office?" It was Rocky's first time to come to the place where Mia worked in so he couldn't help but look around in curiosity. The office was huge but the decorations were rather simple. It was not luxurious as one would expect but just a plain room with a pleasant smell from incense.

Mia was sitting behind a wide table as she stared at Rocky who was touring her office.

"Are you done looking around?" Mia asked in a cold voice.

Hearing what Mia said, Rocky shrugged his shoulders as he turned around and smiled at Mia. "I was wondering why Master Mia would ask me to come here," he asked but he knew the answer very well.

"Why didn't you take part in today's morning training?" Mia asked in a low voice.

"Women feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. Actually, men could also go through the same situation. Today was one of those days I felt so uncomfortable when I woke up in the morning..." Rocky was talking rubbish.

"Nonsense!" Mia stopped him immediately. Actually, she did not ask Rocky here to explain the reason for his absence this morning. She wanted to ask him about something else.

Mia stood up and walked towards Rocky as she looked Rocky in the eyes and asked, "Did you and General Marcia know each other?"

Rocky immediately realized that Mia also cared about what had happened between him and Marcia yesterday. She wanted to figure out if there were any secrets between him and Marcia.

"Of course not, we absolutely didn't," Rocky lied calmly without flushing. He surely was an expert in lying to women.

Hearing that Rocky denied instantly, Mia frowned and asked, "Then where did you bring General Marcia? Did she tell you anything interesting?"

"We just walked around, and she just asked how our daily training went on." Rocky was merely making stuff up. He did not know what Mia was going to say if he had told her that they had not gone anywhere and the two of them had talked about a lot of secrets in his room.

"That was it? Nothing else?" Mia asked again.

Rocky just shook his head.

"Good," Mia sighed softly. Marcia suddenly said that she wanted to watch their training, but she ended up asking Rocky to show him around with just the two of them. Therefore, the ministers were all wondering that whether it was because they had done anything wrong that might've offended Marcia yesterday.

As the head of the dragon field, Mia was also concerned about the current situation, so she wanted to ask Rocky about it. Besides, she also cared a little about the close relationship between Rocky and Marcia. They did not look like two people who just met each other for the first time. But she could not figure out what kind of relationship Rocky and Marcia had because the gap between them was so big. So she believed that there were no secrets between the two of them.

Mia would never have guessed that Rocky was the real reason why Marcia came to the dragon field in the first place.

"Alright. You can leave now. You have to train twice this afternoon. And don't try to play tricks again. Or I'm going to have to teach you a lesson," Mia said coldly.

Rocky had already known she would say words like these, so he was not surprised at all and just left without saying anything

The Dragon Birth Festival was drawing nearer. The atmosphere in the dragon field grew more and more intense. Almost everyone was training and cultivating as hard as they could. They even kept on cultivating after the training was over just to gain more power in order to stand out at the festival and grab the chance to be famous.

But there was one guy who disappeared immediately after their daily training.

"Look. The loser left so soon again."

"Humph. He must be satisfied that he has reached the second grade of the Mortal Stage."

"Many people had upgraded from the first grade to the second grade in the past days, and some of them had even reached the third grade. What's more, it was said that Bear and Flint are about to reach the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage. So the people like him who was not hardworking and depended solely on luck are nothing but losers."

The training had just ended and most of them had stayed to continue cultivating while Rocky left as soon as he could. So the rest of the trainees were all talking about his behavior.

'I'm very disappointed. Looks like I have made a huge mistake," Mia who stayed to oversee their training was also angry with Rocky as she saw Rocky's unambitious and lazy attitude.

Rocky went to the kitchen and found something to eat with Uriah. They went directly to the pond the moment they finished eating. He was attempting to take a risk again tonight. Last time, he had almostOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.

killed Uriah when he let Uriah eat the yellow spiritual crystal. Fortunately, he saved its life using his dragon spiritual power and it succeeded in upgrading its power to a higher grade. Now that he had three yellow spiritual crystals in his pocket, he wanted to try something again. Scientists always had a thirst for adventure but he seemed to be the most intense daredevil.

But now that Uriah was a three-star war beast, though it was only at the first grade, it was able to eat an entire yellow spiritual crystal without any trouble so he did not worry that what had happened last time would happen again.

Uriah got excited as it saw Rocky took out the yellow spiritual crystal. The spiritual crystal was extremely attractive to the spirit-manipulated beasts. None of the spirit-manipulated beasts could resist the temptation of the special spiritual power emitting from the spiritual crystal. So the spiritual crystals at higher grades would attract the stronger spirit-manipulated beasts. The smart ones of the spirit- manipulated beasts would not eat the entire spiritual crystal but would instead surround it and slowly absorb the spiritual power from the spiritual crystal. This was also why spiritual crystals at higher levels were harder to get because if you wanted to get one, you would have to deal with one or more spirit- manipulated beasts. So a spirit manipulator who was at least at the Heavenly Stage was only able to get one yellow spiritual crystal at a time.

In other words, Rocky was so fortunate that Marcia sent him three yellow spiritual crystals in one breath. He couldn't have been more grateful.
