The Medallion
Chapter 1475 To Challenge Jasper

"It's actually a good sword, but I think it's a little heavy and difficult to control. But for the time being, I guess this will make do," Rocky murmured to himself as he swung the sword a few times. Then, he made a scabbard for the sword with the most flexible and durable diabolic beast's skin that he found. Since he had no idea what was the original name of the sword, he decided to name it the Mystical Dragon Sword. After putting the sword back into the scabbard that he just made, Rocky left his Magic Spiritual Space promptly.

It was almost daybreak when he went back to the cave. Seeing that Ramon and Tessa had already recovered their physical and spiritual power, he quickly said, "Guys, let's go! Today's goal is to slay forty beasts!"

"What? Forty? Did you forget how hard it was to kill thirty yesterday?" Ramon and Tessa were stunned upon hearing Rocky's words, knowing that he was really serious.

"We can do it! All of us need to improve, so it is better to set our goals higher." With a bright smile on his face, Rocky gestured at them to come out of the cave and start their busy day.

Ramon and Tessa reluctantly got up and weren't able to say anything else as they saw Rocky's receding figure.

The day quickly passed, and somehow, they managed to finish the tough task of slaying forty beasts. However, the following day, Rocky increased their target again by ten.

A few days passed and they continued increasing their targets by increments of ten.

When their daily goal had reached a hundred, about half a month had already passed.

Despite the grueling task that they had to endure every day, the effect on them seemed really visible. Especially for Ramon and Tessa, they improved by leaps and made amazing progress in terms of endurance when it came to both using their physical and spiritual power. Moreover, the strength of their Spiritual Infants was also greatly enhanced.

Just as the three of them returned to the Sword Spirit City, the competition for the position of the Security Hall leader was already in full swing.

At that moment, a large battle ring with a diameter of several hundred meters had been set up in the training field within the Sword Spirit City. Many people wanted to join as well as spectate. There were ordinary disciples and some were warriors at the King Realm. Obviously, the stronger ones were planning to participate in the competition and were ready to risk it all in order to fight for the position.

At the same time, to ensure the fairness of the competition, Harrison, the governor of the city, led the other hall leaders in the city to witness the battles. This also showed that he paid great importance to the selection of the next Security Hall leader.

The competition for this position would be done in the simplest way. The strongest one who would be left standing, in the end, would be declared as the winner. Anyone at the King Realm, who had the intention to fight for the position would be allowed to enter the stage and fight until he defeated his opponent. The winner would wait on the stage until another challenger dared to fight him. If someone was able to defeat the former winner, then he would be the one to stay behind and wait for the next challenger. Then the last disciple to be declared as the winner would be qualified to become the Security Hall leader.

When Rocky, Ramon, and Tessa arrived at the training ground, they immediately saw that there were already two warriors at the King Realm that were fighting on the ring. One of them was the winner of the first round, meaning that it was already the second round.

"It seems that we are already late for the event," Ramon said as he stared at the disciples inside the ring.

"Well, it's not like we're too late. The event is just heating up," Rocky said as he revealed a defiant sneer.

"You two should work hard and perform well. This is a rare chance to become famous in the entire Sword Spirit City. Even if you can't get the position itself, once the people saw that you displayed your magnificent skills, new opportunities would surely come your way!" Tessa encouraged. She was well aware that her father appreciated great talents, so she believed that if they caught her father's attention with their performance, they could expect something great.

"I think you should fight early on as a warm up. It'll be bad if your first opponent is already someone who's very strong," Rocky suggested.

"Well, yeah. Let's see how the next rounds will turn out," Ramon said without any objection.

At the same time, Rocky suddenly felt a hostile gaze directed at him. When he looked in the direction where it was coming from, he saw that it was Xavier who was glaring at him, and beside him was Miguel. "Tch. These two are really accomplices. I guess Xavier should also be coveting for the position of the hall leader so much," Rocky murmured to himself as he looked at the two with disdainful eyes. He knew that both of them could give him a headache, but they weren't going to be a serious threat.

On the other hand, seeing that Rocky and Ramon had come to participate, Miguel and Xavier thought that it was actually a good opportunity for them to avenge themselves. "Xavier, I'm looking forward to your performance in this competition," Miguel said expectantly.

"Don't worry. I will definitely get that position. No one can hinder me! I have suffered a lot for the past half a month just to prepare for this day. I have finally learned my master's unique skill! That's why no one will be able to stop me," Xavier said confidently.

"I see. Although you have just broken through to the King Realm, you have an innate talent, bodily skill, and the unique skill that you have acquired from Elder Joseph. I'm sure that even the senior King Realm warriors, with Spiritual Infants at the primary stage, won't be able to stand a chance. But most importantly, when you meet Basil or Ramon on the ring, be sure to bring them down mercilessly," Miguel instructed coldly as he revealed a malicious smile.

"Yeah, I'm going to do that. I'll show those two the difference in our strength!" Xavier declared with burning contempt in his eyes.

In just a short while, the competition had become more intense. More than ten warriors at the King Realm had already fought against each other and displayed such a variety of skills that made the crowd burst into an uproar.

However, the best was yet to come. A battle like this usually got more exciting towards the end because the stronger warriors often choose to wait until the last minute before they showed up. After all, they didn't want to waste their time facing off opponents who were far weaker than them.

At the moment, the reigning disciple inside the ring was Jasper Xu. As a senior warrior at the primary stage of the King Realm, with his Spiritual Infant at the primary stage, he had just defeated the opponent who challenged him.

Although he was not that outstanding in terms of talent, he was still considered as one of the famous and powerful warriors in the Sword Spirit City because of his discipline and hard work in his cultivation. Moreover, he had also created a special sword skill-the Body-trapping Swordsmanship. This strike allowed him to use his spiritual power to seal his opponents. Even the ones stronger than him could also suffer greatly from his sword skill.

Seeing that it was now Jasper Xu who accepted the challenges, several warriors at the King Realm, who were yet to participate, became wary. They knew that it was not easy to overcome his Body-trapping Swordsmanship, and he also wouldn't reveal his weakness during the fight.

Of course, there were still King Realm warriors who were much stronger than Jasper Xu. In fact, they thought that they could bring him down in one or two attacks, so they didn't participate yet, thinking that they should wait for a better opponent. At the moment, some King Realm warriors with Spiritual Infants at the primary stage just kept watching and didn't plan on participating anytime soon.

Likewise, Xavier, who stood next to Miguel, shared the same sentiment.

"Ramon, I guess it's time for you to make an appearance. Why don't you give it a try on him," Rocky urged Ramon as he saw the development of the competition.

"I guess so too. I'll stay undefeated until you show up there. I'll wait for you," Ramon declared. Obviously, he was well-prepared for this. He didn't waste the past half a month dilly-dallying. The next moment, he flew into the air like a mighty roc that spread its wings. He swept over everyone's head and instantly landed on the ring.

The sudden appearance of Ramon caused quite a stir because almost nobody knew that he had already broken through to the King Realm.

"That aura! Since when did Ramon break through to the King Realm? Impressive!" Even Harrison was surprised. Since then, among the batch of disciples that Ramon belonged to, Harrison had always thought highly of him. Now that he had done another great feat, he just showed that he was worthy of the governor's trust.

"Nice to see you here, sir. Let's have a great fight," Ramon greeted, addressing Jasper Xu with the utmost respect.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
