The Medallion novel Chapter 1493

Harrison hesitated for a moment, but decided not to say anything more.

The atmosphere around the competition was extremely tense. The crowd was dead silent, and no cheers or taunts came from them. Everyone's eyes were trained on Rocky and Knox, who were already standing on the arena.

Rocky studied the opponent before him. It was just as Ramon had said: Knox's spiritual aura was unlike any other ordinary spirit aura, and there seemed to be some kind of a strong evil aura to him. However, he was able to restrain his aura well and did not show it easily.

"Before we begin, I have to tell you something." Rocky's eyes narrowed at him. "Ramon, the guy you injured just now, is my friend."

"So what?" Knox glanced at Rocky indifferently.

"I hate it when my friends are bullied," Rocky replied in a low voice.

"So, you want to get back at me for him?" Knox sneered.

"Not only will I avenge my friend, I will also defeat you miserably," Rocky responded calmly.

"How dare you say that to me?" Knox wrinkled his nose in arrogant disdain. "You might've defeated Edgar, but he's an ant compared to me."

"I can tell just how strong you are." Rocky narrowed his eyes. "Even though you suppress your spiritual aura, I will show the world your true colors immediately!"

Knox snorted. "Brat, you are too arrogant." Obviously, he was irritated by Rocky. He immediately pulled out the Crescent Spiritual Saber behind him and stabbed at the vital part of Rocky's body in the blink of an eye.

Rocky dodged sideways calmly, but the saber followed him like a shadow.

Clang!

Just as the saber was about to slice Rocky in half, his Mystical Dragon Sword suddenly blocked it.

When the two blades collided, Rocky felt the power contained in the saber.

"This guy purposefully limits his strength at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant..." Rocky's expression darkened, but he didn't show any signs of backing down. Instead, he retaliated by slashing out a streak of sword aura, forcing the saber back.

Knox was stunned. He had thought it was impossible for anyone to resist such a formidable power, let alone force it back!

Regaining his senses, Knox pulled out another saber. Waving the two sabers wildly, he slashed towards Rocky once more.

At the time, Rocky's Mystical Dragon Sword also created the Dagger Dome to resist the incoming saber forces.

A split second later, the saber forces and the Dagger Dome collided violently, unleashing an intense spiritual power shockwave. The people in the audience trembled as the ground underneath their feet shook.

Rocky and Knox were enveloped in the spiritual power. To the audience's surprise, they were motionless, like two petrified statues. Their blades countered each other with such force, neither side was willing to give way. Rocky, by the way, was completely unharmed. That made Knox incredibly frustrated. He didn't expect Rocky would be powerful enough to fight him head-on.

A hush had fallen over the crowd. Everyone present didn't expect Rocky would be Knox's match.

"How is that possible?" someone whispered. "Has his strength already..." Seeing that his dual saber force couldn't break through Rocky's defense, Knox couldn't help but grit his teeth...

"Use your real strength!" Rocky taunted.

"If you say so!" Knox sneered. Right then and there, he unsealed his power that he had locked away. In the blink of an eye, his power broke through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant, and a wave of violent spiritual power filled the entire Sword God Square.

"His strength reaches the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant!" Timothy exclaimed grimly. If that were the case, Rocky had no chance to win.

"That's right. Knox obviously used the Nine-shadow Saber Skill. It's the unique and most formidable skill of the Sovereign Pavilion."

"Looks like the winner of the battle is decided!"

Amidst the commotion in the crowd, Knox threw his head back and laughed wildly. He believed he'd won already.

Just then, a burst of violent spiritual wind suddenly whirled around the arena, causing the ferocious saber forces to disperse. When the dust began to clear, a figure slowly emerged. "It turns out you're not that powerful!"

When the crowd saw the silhouette in the battlefield, they were dumbstruck. It was none other than Rocky, not a hair out of place!

"You... remain unharmed even now?" Seeing that Rocky emerged unscathed by his unique skill, Knox couldn't help but gape.

"It's just a trick," Rocky said airily. "How can such a 'unique skill' harm me?"

"Impossible!" Knox roared. "You're just at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant, so it's absolutely impossible for you to block my unique skill, unless you're actually..." Only then did it dawn on Knox.

Seeing the stunned look on Knox's face, Rocky sneered and his aura began to rise rapidly. Immediately, his strength reached the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant under the watchful eyes of the public.

Another collective gasp came from the audience.

If a warrior in the Ethereal Region could reach the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant, they would definitely attract much attention. Moreover, in each clan or sect, such a warrior usually held a high position. However, in the entire Ethereal Region, it was extremely rare for someone to break through to such a realm before the age of thirty!

Most importantly, they had never heard of such a genius in the Heaven Shadow Pavilion. The fact that Rocky was on that level was complete news to them.

"I can't believe that Basil has already broken through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Infant!" Even Timothy was shocked, his eyes shining with delighted excitement.
