The Medallion
Chapter 1474 Mastered The Thousand-star Swordsmanship

Ramon and Tessa followed closely as they watched Rocky fighting off the beasts alone. They were actually amazed at what the young man could do. Both of them were considered as outstanding spirit warriors among their generation in the Sword Spirit City, but compared to Rocky, who had been brilliant ever since, they had to admit that they were far inferior to him.

As the sun set and night fell, Rocky managed to kill thirty diabolical beasts at the King Realm and complete the team's goal for that day at the same time.

Then, the three of them found a cave where they could safely rest and recover their strength.

"Whew! I'm so tired!" Tessa immediately sat on a rock as soon as she entered the cave. She began patting on her hands and feet, looking very exhausted from their activity for the day.

At the same time, Ramon silently put down his spiritual sword and sat in another spot. He closed his eyes and started adjusting his breath.

"Well, I'll go cook some dinner first," Rocky uttered with a relaxed expression on his face. Although he had consumed a lot of physical and spiritual power from dealing with all the spiritual beasts from earlier, he still had sufficient strength to go on.

"Really? That's great!" Tessa was actually grateful that Rocky volunteered because she was already too tired to move.

Rocky just let out a faint smile and immediately piled up some stones and made a fire to grill some food. Then, he put a large piece of diabolic beast meat that he had collected beforehand on a wooden branch After that, he put it above the fire and roasted it. Not long after, the fragrance of the meat instantly filled the cave.

Tessa looked at the roasted meat in Rocky's hand and couldn't help but swallow. After she endured such laborious work throughout the day, it was just natural that she would get that hungry. Moreover, seeing that the meat was beautifully cooked, she wouldn't be able to resist such temptation.

"Here you go!" Rocky immediately handed the roasted meat to Tessa upon finished cooking.

Of course, Tessa didn't hesitate. She accepted it wholeheartedly and began to devour it regardless of what her image might look like.

Then, Rocky roasted another piece and put it beside Ramon, who was still quietly adjusting his breath.

"Are you not going to eat?" Tessa suddenly asked when she saw that Rocky only cooked for her and Ramon.

"Hmm. I'll just eat the remaining eat that you won't be able to finish," Rocky replied, teasing Tessa.

"What? No way! And who said that I won't be able to finish all of this?" Tessa responded as she covered the meat in her hand.

"Ha-ha. I'm just kidding. Anyway, the two of you can rest in this cave for a while. I'll just be outside to stand guard." Rocky nodded slightly and walked out of the cave.

As he got out, ensuring that Ramon and Tessa were resting up, he summoned Glutton and asked it to guard the cave in his stead. Then, he found a secluded place near the cave and entered his Magic Spiritual Space. Inside it, he took out the Scarlet Heaven Jade, entered the stone tablet where Darius was, and challenged him.

In his previous battles with Darius, although he failed to defeat him, he still accumulated a lot of experience and got more familiar with Darius' tactics. Therefore, he could now be more aggressive and be able to fight all out.

However, Darius was still far stronger and it wasn't that easy to take him down.

After a while, Rocky lost again. He sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and was a bit disappointed that he failed again. Of course, he knew that he was facing a peerless master, so it wouldn't be easy to succeed that fast.

"I can see that you've already made much progress, but it still isn't enough. However, I think you're now ready to learn the Thousand-star Swordsmanship," Darius said as he returned to the stone tablet and walked up to Rocky.

"Really?" Rocky was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that Darius would suddenly impart the first move of the Thousand-star Swordsmanship even though he hadn't won against him yet. "But why? I haven't defeated you," Rocky asked.

"Ha-ha. If you can really defeat me, then there's no need for you to learn the Thousand-star Swordsmanship." Darius stroked his beard and smiled at the young man's determination.

"I see. Well, will it be difficult to learn the Thousand-star Swordsmanship?" Rocky inquired as he stood up.

"Hmm. It's not that difficult, but it wouldn't be easy either. There is only one move in executing the Thousand-star Swordsmanship, but there are thousands of changes in the move. It's not that hard to learn the move itself, but it's not easy to grasp its essence. Back then, in order to create the Thousand-star Swordsmanship, I had cultivated in seclusion for ten years. I watched the stars every single day until I finally comprehended and created the move," Darius explained.

"In case I can't master it, can you teach me something less difficult?" Rocky asked, a little bit nervous in learning the swordsmanship.

"I'm afraid not. I'm just a wisp of a soul remnant. I only exist on the spiritual stela for one purpose, and that is to let the person who has obtained the Scarlet Heaven Jade grasp the strongest swordsmanship in the world. Whether you can learn it or not has nothing to do with me," Darius remarked as he shook his head.

"All right then. Please teach me!" Rocky nodded and made up his mind to learn it anyway.

"I won't need to teach you anything. You're going to comprehend it yourself!" The moment Darius finished his words, he turned into a beam of soul light and rushed straight into Rocky's body, merging with him in an instant.

The next moment, Rocky's mind was filled with stars that turned into swords, like countless meteors and comets that shrouded the sky. Among the sea of star swords, the most unremarkable one possessed the strongest power, containing mysterious and profound sword skills.

In a flash, Rocky leaped into the air and a sword aura rushed out. The sword aura burst out like blinding starlight and turned into streaks of dazzling lights that spread all over the sky. "Thousand-star Swordsmanship!"

Right after, the luminous sword lights fell down and their auras enveloped the whole space, making it tremble violently.

After a long while, everything gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Rocky also fell to the ground in front of the stone tablet of Darius. The next moment, the stone tablet was broken into pieces and eventually turned into dust that dispersed everywhere. "Sir, thank you very much!" Rocky cupped his hand as he respectfully addressed Darius.

After successfully learning the astounding skill, Rocky was extremely elated. He felt that he could now continue challenging the other spiritual tablets around.

However, since he had already learned the powerful swordsmanship, he would need an appropriate spiritual sword that could be used to perform the Thousand-star Swordsmanship. Therefore, he immediately searched for a suitable Spiritual Weapon on the other spiritual tablets, but ultimately didn't replace a suitable one.

After that, he suddenly remembered that when he got the Scarlet Heaven Jade, he also took its master's huge sword and ice armor with him.

Hence, he wasted no time, left the Scarlet Heaven Jade, and returned to the Magic Spiritual Space. There, he found the sword and the armor from the warehouse.

"These two should be considered as supreme Spiritual Weapons, but it seemed that they have completely lost their spiritual power..." After examining the sword and the armor for a while, Rocky was disappointed upon seeing that they just looked like ordinary weapons without any spiritual power.

Then, he put down the armor and picked up the sword. When he first acquired it, he didn't really notice how heavy it was. But now, he recognized that it should be about a hundred kilograms. If he held it for a while, he would be fine. However, if he wielded it for a longer time, he wouldn't be able to use it effectively because it would wear him down.
