The Medallion
Chapter 1353 I'll Give You A Chance

Meanwhile, a breakthrough had just been discovered in the human experiments. Recent data showed that the serum refined from the Holy-blood Dragon King could have positive effects on humans. After ordinary humans were injected with the serum, changes in their bodies started to be visible. Unable to become spirit manipulators prior to the experiments, these humans were now in good physical conditions. After a month of tedious studies and experiments, Rocky did not replace any adverse side effects of the treatment. Hence, he continued to carry out his experiments further.

After more and more trials, he then found out that the serum could only take effect on the subject once, meaning that it could only be injected to a person once in his lifetime, and pushing for a second dose of this serum would not have any effect on the human. In addition to his replaceings, he learned that the chance of his experiments' failure was about thirty percent.

Not long after, Rocky began injecting the serum into the bodies of the spirit manipulators who volunteered to be his lab rats. After some moments, the results came back, stating that the serum could be administered to the spirit manipulators. However, just as the previous replaceings, it could only work once. This serum had the capability to enhance and develop the spirit manipulators' bodies based on their physical conditions.

But Rocky did not stop there. Through trial and error, Rocky finally came up with the conclusion that the serum had the ability to transform human bodies.

He wanted to test and see how greatly the serum could affect and strengthen ordinary soldiers. As a result, Rocky made a few batches of serum and sent them to the three groups of the United Army. Upon further studies, Rocky learned that human potential on the battlefield was very easily stimulated. Furthermore, he discovered that it was possible that the bodies transformed by such serum could further be enhanced under constant stimulation. The result of this study was very favorable to him since it was his ultimate goal.

Meanwhile, in the Spiritual King Hall,

Alston's face darkened in anger. During the past month of battle, his army had suffered immense losses despite his continuous dispatching of numerous members of the spiritual race to fight with the United Army. However, his efforts of supplying more and more soldiers to fight for him were in vain in the end. They were still outnumbered by the enemy. The spiritual race might be strong in terms of power, but they still were not able to withstand the overwhelming attacks of huge crowds from their enemy.

In fact, what infuriated Alston the most was that the United Army had used some kind of serum to greatly boost their fighting power. If this was true, then there was no doubt that the spiritual race did not have any winning chance. After all, the spiritual race members were not at all that powerful, and most of them were only at the Supernal Stage. However, he still believed that there was something he could do to finally turn the whole situation around.

"Do any of you have a better plan to deal with the United Army? Now is the time to speak up!" Alston looked at each of the powerful spiritual masters and high-level ordinary spiritual beings in the hall. Unfortunately for him, all of them only looked at each other and lowered their heads without uttering a single word.

"Useless bastards! All of you are useless! You can't even deal with mere humans!" Alston couldn't help cursing his fury away.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Let's just wait it out. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the United Army is much weaker than before. It's just a matter of time before they weaken. When that happens, we grab that opportunity to strike them at their lowest," Dean advised immediately.

"That's the thing! I don't have the luxury of waiting any longer," Alston responded impatiently.

Although he was now the Spiritual King who united the spiritual race clans, there were only a few clans under his rule.

At that time, all the clans of the spiritual race in the Wild Spirit Land had declined with each passing day, and the Heavenly Demon Clan had exterminated many clans overnight, causing heavy destruction and fatalities. On the other hand, in order to deal with the calamity beasts, Rocky had killed more than half of the members of the spiritual race using the Divine Spiritual Source. In addition, Alston had fought with the Wood Clan and the Phoenix Master Clan in order to rule the spiritual race, causing many of its members to die or suffer grave injuries. With this in light, fewer and fewer spiritual race clans were placed under his rule.

What worried Alston the most was that the longer the battle lasted, the more their disadvantages would be exposed. He was afraid that the United Army would take advantage of this opportunity to defeat them. "Alston, you are the ruler of the spiritual race now. If you don't have the patience to deal with this seamlessly, then I suggest that you'd better step down now," a figure said in a loud voice as it was flying into the hall from the distance.

Alston heard this and glared at the figure. Then, he shouted, "How dare you say that to me? Do you have a death wish?"

But it seemed that Alston's little taunt did not work on the figure at all. In fact, it did not flinch at his sharp words of intimidation.

"Alyssa?" After the figure finally landed in front of him, he identified the figure as none other than Alyssa.

"Took you long enough to recognize me," Alyssa said as she stared at Alston with cold and unapologetic eyes.

"I must say that you really do have the nerve to come here alone. Do you want to get yourself killed? I thought you went to take revenge on Basil after he killed your brother. But I think that you don't have the heart to do it, do you? After all, he is the man you love. That stings. I bet that you despise him despite your burning desire and love for him. Am I right about that, Alyssa?" Alston sneered. "Cut the crap, Alston. I'm here to make a deal with you," Alyssa offered.

"A deal? The audacity! Do you even think that you are qualified to even propose a deal? How about you give me your legendary guardian beast? Then I will think about it," Alston murmured.

"If you agree to this deal, you can take the legendary guardian beast. You can even take my life if you want," Alyssa said in a calm tone.

"Oh, really? In that case, tell me about it," Alston asked after being intrigued.

"Let me rule your army. I'll use the force to defeat the United Army. After I catch Rocky, I will deal with him myself and avenge my brother," Alyssa suggested.

"Really? My army? You must be joking. Tell me a good reason why I should believe you." Alston laughed wildly upon hearing Alyssa's words. After all, how could he trust her when he knew that she had a huge crush on Rocky?

"I don't care whether you believe me or not. But you should know that I am the only one who can defeat the United Army because I know how to deal with Basil," Alyssa said with firm resolution.

Hearing this, Alston fell silent for a moment as if considering her points. Without a doubt, Alyssa was powerful. In fact, she once made the Holy Dragon Empire suffer a lot. Moreover, she was the only one who knew Basil more than anyone else. If Alyssa could lead the army to fight against the United Army, then the chances of winning would be greater. Nevertheless, Alston was still confused. He didn't know why Alyssa came to him with this offer.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let her lead an army to fight a few battles first?" Dean suggested again.

Alston placed his eyes on Dean and then on Alyssa. Given the current situation, it seemed that Alyssa was his best bet if he really wanted to take Rocky down. Although he didn't believe in Alyssa wholeheartedly, he could still give it a try. If Alyssa had any ulterior motives, it wouldn't be such a problem for him. After all, he could easily kill her with his strength.

"I'll give you a chance. Make significant achievements within a month. I will only believe you when you achieve great heights. Make me believe in what you can do," Alston finally agreed. He said this so that he could test Alyssa's plan and motive. At the end of the day, it was still up to him whether he would be satisfied with her performance and leadership. And besides, he was not afraid of the tricks that Alyssa could play on him.00000
