The Medallion
Chapter 1483 Benedict's Sudden Visit

In the end, Rocky just simply drew an area in his Magic Spiritual Space and engraved a big chessboard on the ground, trying to imitate it.

Upon finishing the simulation, he finally found something noteworthy. The chess pieces on the chessboard formed a moving path, and as he moved along this path, he would eventually reach an advantageous position. Although he wasn't able to fully understand the principle behind the move, there was something with all the games that he had played with the Lorenzo. Rocky noticed that there was actually a kind of moving path that was hidden inside. It looked unpredictable and somewhat messy, but the end results were surprisingly the same.

"If Miss Hannah didn't point it out to me, I wouldn't have figured it so soon," Rocky said to himself. He was fully aware that Hannah had helped him a lot this time.

Without wasting any time, he immediately entered the Scarlet Heaven Jade and summoned Lorenzo.

"Sir, I've already comprehended the footwork that was hidden in your chess game. However, I'm not sure what kind of footwork this is. How can it give people a feeling that you are securing an invincible position?" Rocky asked, still a bit confused about the underlying principle.

"It is called the Demonic Chess Footwork. It is created by the ever-changing skills that are exhibited in the game. It can gain the upper hand in every aspect, so naturally, it can be invincible," Lorenzo briefly explained as he heard that Rocky had already made great progress.

"Hmm. But how can I integrate this footwork into real battle? I'm having quite a hard time imagining how it could work all the time," Rocky asked with furrowed brows.

"Listen. Although there are many changes in the footwork, there is only one goal and purpose, and that is the enemy's general. Therefore, as long as you can think about how to bring the other party's general down, you will be able to perform it according to the situation that you are in. Of course, it still depends whether you are really talented in this aspect. If you're not, you can still display the ordinary power of this footwork at the least, but if you do possess an outstanding talent, this footwork can stimulate your potential and help you deal with your opponent in a single blow!" Lorenzo explained in detail.

"I see. Thank you for your instruction, sir!" Upon hearing what Lorenzo had said, Rocky learned that in order to make the most out of the Demonic Chess Footwork, it would solely depend on him. "Well, it's time for me to leave. But before that, how about another game? Although I'm just a remnant of my original soul, my addiction to chess won't change," Lorenzo said with a faint smile.

"No problem, sir. But may I ask something? Why are you called the demon king? I read it on your tablet. You don't seem like the type of person who should be given that title," Rocky asked out of curiosity. "Well, it's a long story, but everything is in the past now. But if ever you have the chance to go to the Di Clan one day, maybe you'll know the answer. Besides, I've left a cultivation cave in that place, which holds my lifetime collection. From now on, they're all yours," Lorenzo declared.

"Thank you, sir!" Rocky didn't expect that he would be gaining a lot of things by just playing a game of chess with Lorenzo. Although he had to really rack his mind up, his hard work wasn't in vain. "So, shall we start?" Lorenzo asked with a gentle smile.

Rocky nodded and made the first move to start the game. However, when they were still in the middle of playing, Lorenzo's broken soul gradually became almost transparent.

A moment later, it finally turned into a spiritual light that flew into Rocky's body. At the same time, the stone tablet of Lorenzo was broken into pieces.

"Goodbye, sir!" Rocky heaved a sigh.

After a while, he got out of the Scarlet Heaven Jade and continued to study the essence of the Demonic Chess Footwork. Since Lorenzo's soul was already integrated with his, he had somehow mastered all the tricks that there were in it, but he recognized that it would still take him some time before he could actually apply them in real combat.

Meanwhile, just when everything seemed to be rather peaceful, something big was about to happen in the Sword Spirit Sect. Benedict Hong, the leader of the Grand Sky Sect, suddenly came to visit, bringing a pile of invaluable gifts for a grand proposal.

Inside the Arcane Sword Hall, Timothy was sitting on the throne of the sect leader. His firm but gentle demeanor was pleasing and admirable. At the same time, Benedict Hong sat on the other end, facing Timothy. Although he was the guest, he was also a sect leader, so displaying a domineering posture was second nature to him.

"Master Timothy, let me get straight to the point. The purpose of my visit this time is to propose a marriage between our sects. I'm hoping that my son can marry your daughter," Benedict Hong said with a straight face.

His words were like a bomb that took all the elders and the officials of the Sword Spirit Sect by surprise. They burst into an uproar and started discussing by themselves. The two sects were known to be both huge forces in the Sovereign Sect. If they were connected in marriage, it would definitely cause a great sensation in the entire Ethereal Region.

On the other hand, Timothy was mentally prepared for the actions that the Grand Sky Sect would do. He knew that beneath it all, Benedict Hong had malicious intentions and was just waiting for the right opportunity. He also knew that the recent misbehaviors of the Robber Regiment had something to do with the Grand Sky Sect; thus, he was always on guard of what they could be plotting against the Sword Spirit Sect. However, Timothy didn't expect Benedict Hong to use such an underhanded move such as arranging a marriage involving their children.

It was known to all that Benedict Hong was a cunning and deceitful man. He would often use despicable means just to take advantage of the people around the Grand Sky Sect. Therefore, needless to say, he was just using this marriage to gain something from the Sword Spirit Sect.

"Master Benedict, I'm deeply flattered that you even considered my daughter to become your son's wife. But I'm afraid that my daughter might not be good enough for your son, who both has outstanding martial art skills and appearance," Timothy immediately replied, replaceing an excuse to refuse.

"Master Timothy, everyone knows that Hannah is one of the most beautiful women in the entire Ethereal Region. Do not say that she's not enough for my son! I do think that they'll be a perfect match." Benedict didn't back down and even praised Hannah.

Hearing this, the elders and officials of the Sword Spirit Sect couldn't help but sneer behind their backs, fully knowing that even the most average disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect had a better appearance than Benedict Hong's son. He had a big fat head, huge ears, and a round body. Moreover, it was said that he was already thirty years old, but he was still at the primary stage of the King Realm. Any spirit warrior in the Sword Spirit City at that same age should be much stronger than him.

It was also known that Benedict Hong spoiled his son too much, and he wouldn't let anyone mock him outright. Therefore, even though the people around wanted to laugh about it, no one said a word and they just pretended not to hear Benedict Hong's comments.

"Master Benedict, I know you must have already heard that my daughter has been unable to become a spirit warrior because of her physical defect since childhood. If she happens to marry your son, instead of helping him, she might even become a burden. The Grand Sky Sect is also a major sect, and your son will be its future leader. I just think that you should replace someone with equal strength as your son. That's why I don't think that my daughter will be fit for him." Timothy continued replaceing whatever loophole there was to refuse in a proper way.

"What are you talking about? Although she is not a spirit warrior, I've seen how Hannah grew up. I think she is very virtuous, dignified, and has the skill to manage a family. When my son becomes the sect leader in the future, I know that Hannah will help him manage the affairs of the sect very well. That alone is enough for me." Benedict Hong seemed to have made up his mind and wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Well, I can see that you're pretty determined to marry my daughter to your son..." When he realized that Benedict Hong would do whatever he could to make the marriage happen, Timothy's eyes narrowed. "Of course. I don't think you have a reason to refuse, do you?" Benedict Hong asked with a cunning grin.0000000
