The Medallion
Chapter 1461 Got Promoted

"Ally seemed all right two days ago. What made it so irritable now? Could it be sick?"

Hannah asked, looking perplexed. Ally had been with her since it was a cub, and it had always been obedient and even-tempered. In fact, it had rarely shown such mercurial temperament before. "We have no idea what is happening. Several beast curers have come to check on it, but none of them could replace anything wrong!" the man in charge of the beast farm immediately answered. He looked harried and frightened, possibly because Hannah could easily blame him and punish him.

But Hannah didn't get angry at him. Instead, she turned to look at Rocky hopefully, knowing that he was also very proficient in beast curing.

"Basil, do you know what's wrong with Ally?"

Rocky was quiet for a moment as he thought about it. Then he said, "I think it might be in heat, so it must be longing for a mate."

"In heat? What does that mean?" Hannah looked stunned for a moment, as she had not expected that answer.

"It is autumn right now, and spiritual beasts typically reproduce during this season. It is highly likely that Ally has reached maturity, so all its instincts are driving it to reproduce. Therefore, it is in a hurry to replace another beast to mate.

This is a normal process that all beasts go through, so you don't have to worry. It's not a big deal!" explained Rocky succinctly.

"Oh, is that so?

I guess I have to replace a suitable spiritual beast to mate with Ally right away."

Hearing Rocky's explanation brought instant release to the anxiety in Hannah's mind, and she let out a deep sigh. She had been incredibly concerned at first, but it seemed that Ally's problem could be easily dealt with, which was a great relief.

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea. Spiritual beasts like Ally won't be willing to mate with spiritual beasts arranged for them. The best thing that you can do is to let it select the mate it wants," Rocky reminded her gently but firmly.

"Oh, no, I can't do that. Ally is incredibly talented, so its genes must be exemplary. It will be a great loss if it replaces an inferior spiritual beast to mate with!" Hannah cared deeply about Ally and thought of it as a family member, so she didn't want anything bad to happen to it at all.

"I think you are misinformed. A beast's mother is the main source and therefore has the biggest impact on the descendant's characteristics. That is why even if Ally replaces a low-grade spiritual beast, it won't cause too much impact,"

Rocky reassured Hannah.

"No. I can't let it replace a mate by itself,"

Hannah insisted, shaking her head vigorously. It seemed that she was resolved not to let Ally have a choice.

"So, are you going to replace one for it even if it doesn't like your choice?" Rocky looked sideways at Hannah as he spoke as if he was judging her in the privacy of his mind.

"I can get multiple beasts that it can choose from.

I'm sure if I get a lot, there will be one among them that can satisfy it, right?" replied Hannah.

"Well, I can't force you if that's what you want to do. But you have to be mentally prepared for what will happen."

Rocky seemed to have given up, as he just shook his head at Hannah's pigheadedness.

"Has anybody told you that you talk a lot?" said Hannah suddenly.

She had a teasing smile on her face despite the harsh words because she knew that Rocky was just doing that for her own good.

"I'm just trying to help. Anyway, as long as you remember what I said, everything will be fine,"

Rocky muttered sternly and turned around to leave, but Hannah's abrupt cry stopped him.

"Wait!" she shouted as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Do you need anything else, Miss Hannah?" asked Rocky.

He raised one eyebrow critically as he turned back around to meet her searching eyes.

"I heard that you helped Tessa a lot. She said you were instrumental in her successful fusion with the martial spirit," she answered. Her beautiful eyes were narrowed in thought, but Rocky only shook his head modestly.

"It's not a big deal," he said as he waved his hands in a dismissive gesture.

"Anyway, I just wanted to thank you. Although Tessa is not my biological sister, we have been best friends since we were children. I can't become a spirit warrior because of my physical defect, so I have placed all my hopes on her. That is also the reason that I persuaded Harrison to let her enter the Martial Spirit Graveyard this time,"

Hannah continued gratefully.

"Speaking of this, will you let me collect some blood sample from you?" Rocky asked thoughtfully.

"What? My blood sample?" Hannah looked at Rocky in confusion.

"Yes. I want to take some of your blood."

"What? Why do you want my blood?" Hannah found it strange that he wanted her blood, so she didn't know what to do.

"Trust me. It's for your own good," insisted Rocky. Of course, he didn't intend to tell her the truth. Rocky had a theory that her physical defect could be still be changed. After all, she was born unable to become a spirit warrior mostly because there was something wrong with her genetic makeup. Thus, he thought that if he could replace out more about her defective gene, then he could repair it and, perhaps, allow her to become a spirit warrior.

Of course, the reason he wanted to do so was to win over Hannah. She was the daughter of the Sword Spirit Sect's leader and had a great influence within the sect. If he could use her influence and resources it would greatly benefit him in the future.

"Umm, okay. How will you collect my blood?"

After hesitating for a while, Hannah finally relented. She reasoned to herself that it wasn't a big deal to give Rocky a little blood, so she agreed with him in the end.

"It's actually quite simple. Please stretch out your hand,"

Rocky instructed as soon as she gave her permission.

Hannah stretched out her hand a bit shakily. Then, a needle and a container instantly appeared in Rocky's hand.

He grabbed Hannah's hand and stabbed her thumb with the needle as fast as possible, making sure that she wouldn't feel any pain. Afterward, he put the few drops of blood he had collected inside the container and covered it with an airtight lid.

"It's done," Rocky said with a smile as he put the container into his Magic Spiritual Space.

"Wow! That's so simple and quick!" Hannah was amazed that Rocky had done it with very little fanfare, and she didn't even feel any pain!

"Of course!" Rocky answered, looking pleased that Hannah found the process easy and painless.

"Since you still live in the beast farm, I'll leave Ally to you. I'm going to look for suitable spiritual beasts to mate with it as soon as possible in the next few days," said Hannah after a while. She knew that Rocky was very capable of caring for Ally, so she had no qualms about leaving it in his charge.

"Okay." Rocky nodded.

After that, Hannah went off straight away, as she didn't want to waste any more time.

"From now on, I, alone, will take care of Ally. The other disciples of the beast farm should not get close to it, or else they might get hurt,"

Rocky told the man in charge of the beast farm.

"Understood." The man in charge nodded his head hastily, for he was ecstatic that Rocky was now in charge of Ally. Now that Rocky had made a splash in the Sword Spirit Sect and earned Hannah's respect, the man in charge dared not displease him.

Before long, Rocky took Ally back to the beast farm and tried to appease it. After it calmed down, he left the beast farm and proceeded to the Security Hall.

When he arrived at the Cloudlet Team's lounge, he found that Ramon and the members of the Cloudlet Team were all present. The moment they saw Rocky, they all got up hastily, greeting him with fondness and admiration.

"What happened to you guys? Why are you looking at me like that?" Rocky asked with a smile.

"Just now, Master Harrison sent someone over to reward the two of us, and he also gave you a promotion. You are now the deputy captain of the Cloudlet Team," Ramon muttered indifferently.

"Oh, what about Eliseo?" Rocky asked immediately.

"He was transferred to be the captain of the Sword Spirit City's guardian team. In other words, he was promoted to a higher position thanks to you..."

Ramon knew that if Rocky hadn't been promoted, Eliseo wouldn't have been promoted to be the captain of the guardian team as well. "Really? Well, I'm glad to hear that.

"

I was afraid that Eliseo would lose his position because of me. If that happened, I couldn't be the deputy captain!" Hearing the news from Ramon seemed to fill Rocky with relief. "Here. Master Harrison gave you this deputy captain's token as a reward. From now on, you will be in charge of the basic affairs of the Cloudlet Team."

After saying that, Ramon handed a delicate-looking wooden box and a token to Rocky.☐☐☐
