What Happens in Chapter 1758 Facing The Third Round – From the Book The Medallion
Dive into Chapter 1758 Facing The Third Round, a pivotal chapter in The Medallion, written by Hollie Lee. This section features emotional turning points, key character decisions, and the kind of storytelling that defines great Fantasy fiction.
After the fierce challenge competition was completed, the three Spiritual Emperors, who were qualified to be a part of the third round, were determined. However, since the Di Clan made an exception for Rocky, he could also enter the third round directly.
Hence, apart from Lilith and Rocky, the two other candidates to join the third round were a talented Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race and a middle-grade Spiritual Emperor from the human race.
At the same time, the latest top eighty Spiritual Emperors, who had performed well in the first two rounds and the challenging round, were already announced.
The one who ranked first overall was the youngest elder of the Sky-suppressing Mansion—Jules, a high-grade Spiritual Emperor.
For the second overall ranking, it was a high-grade Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race—Wesley.
Then, the one who ranked third was a new high-grade Spiritual Emperor from the Sovereign Pavilion—Julian. He was an incredible talent and had been training vigorously throughout these years. Everyone thought that this could be his chance to prove himself once and for all.
After the announcement of the top eighty was made, these three candidates were thought to be the most likely ones to win the championship in the Spiritual Emperor Contest.
As for the other seven high-grade Spiritual Emperors that were also a part of the top ten, they also had a chance to win. However, their overall strength was slightly weaker than the top three candidates. It meant that they would have to perform very well and might need more luck to emerge victoriously.
Among these seven Spiritual Emperors, someone actually displayed such a magnificent performance that attracted the attention of a lot of people. It was a high-grade Spiritual Emperor from a rather small and not so famous sect—Justin Chen.
However, his real identity was actually the Godly Genius of the Primitive Fief—Israel.
At this moment, In Israel's room, a masked man in blue came in and knelt in front of him.
"Did you get any information about the other Godly Geniuses in the contest?" Israel asked directly, wasting no time.
"Yes, sir. According to our careful observation and investigation within the past few days, we were able to confirm the identities of three Godly Geniuses," the man in mask briefly informed.
"Is the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief among them?" Obviously, Israel cared about Rocky the most. In fact, he was the target of every Godly Genius. They wanted to discover Rocky's identity as soon as possible in order to eliminate him.
"I am not sure of it yet. We still have to look further," the masked man replied apologetically.
"Then, find out as soon as possible. He is the biggest threat in this contest. I want all information about him. We should be prepared to face him soon." Israel knew that even though he was supposed to be the strongest among the nine Godly Geniuses, he could not act too complacent because Rocky had already proven himself a couple of times. In order to ensure his victory in the competition, he must eradicate Rocky first.
As the masked man heard Israel's order, he swiftly bowed and left to carry out the task given to him.
Meanwhile, after Rocky showed up as Basil and was allowed to participate in the third round of the contest, he disappeared again in the eyes of the people. Right now, he was also focusing on secretly investigating the other Godly Geniuses with Eunice's help. Ideally, his goal was to discover their identities before the next round started.
"Hey, are you not planning to see Carla? You have already come back as Basil. Why don't you at least meet her?" While checking the list of participants with Rocky, Eunice was so cooped up with this thought. She believed that she had to ask Rocky. Otherwise, she would not be able to calm down.
"What is the rush? Besides, I don't think it's the right time," Rocky replied indifferently.
"Then, when is the right time? She must be restraining herself and waiting for your initiative to talk to her! You're so cold-hearted. It's been a long time since she last saw you. I know that she misses you very much." Eunice did not need to tell it directly. Rocky immediately knew what she was trying to say.
"This is also hard for me. However, I have to set my priorities straight. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it. I promise that I will handle this properly." Rocky then glanced at Eunice and let out a reassuring smile.
On the other hand, Eunice could just sigh. Eventually, she decided to drop the topic off.
Two days after the challenge competition was held, the third round of the contest began.
Every time she switched her identity from the apprentice pharmacist to this one, she would be behaving rather freely. Hence, Rocky could not help but worry that her real identity might be easily exposed when she kept this up.
"What do you need? Make it quick. Although you are in disguise right now, your behavior can easily arouse others' suspicion. So, we can't be seen together." Of course, Rocky had to be cautious at all times. Especially now that the other Godly Geniuses must also be on the move to narrow down their prospective suspects.
"Fine. Are you sure that you can win in the third round?" Gloria asked with a straight face.
"I need to. But yeah, I'll admit that it will be a bit difficult."
"I know. I was also surprised to find so many powerful warriors from the human race and the spiritual race. I did not expect that as a member of the Shura Race, I will be a little worried about winning in this contest. Anyway, if we can't even overcome the next round, we will be big disappointments, especially you..." After the first two rounds, Gloria's perspective about the warriors of the human race and the spiritual race had broadened. She did not expect that there would also be talented people from both races that could be on par or even be stronger than that of the Shura Race. She realized that they were not as weak as she had imagined before.
"What are you talking about? Did you forget that I am the weakest among the Godly Geniuses?" Rocky answered, trying to sound modest.
"Ha! Do you really think that I will be fooled by such nonsense?" After witnessing Rocky's abilities in the past and this contest, she could only conclude that he was just good at playing weak, but his full potential and real strength were much greater than what everyone could see.
"But just in case I failed, I'm confident that you will make it anyway. Besides, we are allies. As long as one of us can complete the trial, it is already good enough for both of us," Rocky said in a dismissive tone.
"Hold that thought because that is not necessarily the case here. Although we have formed an alliance, my goal is still to defeat all the other Godly Geniuses, and that includes you. Therefore, let me get this thing clear. If I win this trial, you won't get any benefits from me," Gloria declared proudly, showing an unwavering spirit.
"Is that so? Then, how about we terminate the alliance already?" Rocky immediately retorted, trying to provoke her on purpose.
"Ha! You wish. You will still help me before I can become the successor of the gods. There is no getting out of our alliance. Now, cheer up and make sure that you perform well in the third round. Otherwise, I might punish you later," Gloria said with her eyebrow raised before eventually leaving.
Then, as soon as she disappeared into the crowd, Valeria suddenly appeared.
