The Medallion
Chapter 1545 Rocky's Unusual Potential

"This is impossible! How could his Spiritual Infant display an aura that is as strong as an Imperial Soul already? This is unheard of!" Elder Felton and the other elders were utterly shocked the moment they felt the overwhelming power that the golden Spiritual Infant behind Rocky was releasing.

A Spiritual Infant was called as such because it was still in the developing stage and its power wasn't mature enough. Once its power became more developed and enhanced, it would then evolve into an Imperial Soul.

The power of the Imperial Soul was measured through the intensity of the soul power that it could release, which could usually produce a destructive force.

And at that moment, Rocky's Spiritual Infant was able to release a remarkable power that could only be attained by an Imperial Soul. That was why the elders were all baffled. They hadn't seen such a warrior before that could display this kind of power during the test on the Imperial Soul Altar.

Of course, even Rocky didn't expect that his Spiritual Infant could reach this level. Although, it shouldn't really be a surprise since he had already regained his divine power back in the Spiritual Sea Region. Because of this, his power had increased drastically, which was also the reason why his Spiritual Infant had become much stronger.

"What the hell? His Spiritual Infant is this powerful? How many secrets is this guy hiding?" Eunice was actually bewildered upon seeing the scene. Although she knew that Rocky was definitely not a weakling who could only display an ordinary Imperial Soul potential, she didn't expect that his Spiritual Infant was this strong.

'This is his real strength! He didn't let me down!' Carla's eyes twinkled like stars as she gazed at Rocky with infatuation. At this point, she was unconsciously concerned for this man.

Then, as the crowd was continued to be mesmerized by Rocky's powerful Spiritual Infant, the rotation of the altar had finally halted. Eventually, the spiritual power stopped gathering on his body, and the golden Spiritual Infant also gradually disappeared.

A moment later, everything on the altar returned to normal, but the stunning scene that they just witnessed would be forever etched in everyone's mind.

"Ahem!" After a while, Felton finally came to his senses before the other elders did. He actually didn't know what to say because Rocky's Spiritual Infant that they had seen was obviously beyond their wildest expectations. But at the back of their minds, they could only think of one explanation. Rocky just displayed a potential that had never been reached before the ninth grade.

He would be the first spirit warrior to ever exhibit this potential in the entire Ethereal Region, and if this news spread, it would surely cause a great uproar in the region.

Therefore, Felton didn't dare to be rash and discussed the matter with the other elders. Soon enough, it seemed that they had reached an agreement.

"For Basil's Imperial Soul test result, we have decided to declare it as invalid!" When the people heard this, they instantly looked at each other because they were not expecting this.

Everyone was extremely surprised as they wondered why they decided to declare Rocky's test result as invalid.

"There was an accident that occurred in the test that you have seen. We think that it might have been caused by the abnormal circulation of the spiritual power in the altar. Therefore, Basil's test result was affected. For the sake of fairness, we can only deem it as null and void!" Felton firmly explained.

Immediately after, a commotion stirred up and there were all kinds of discussions around.

"I knew it! There's no way that he could be more powerful than Moore!"

"Well, I don't know about that. The scene we just saw was too real! Besides, I think this is the first time that such kind of accident occurred in the test."

"So, what does that mean? Is he going to undergo another one? I mean, how will he know his potential then?"

For a moment, people had so many questions and they weren't quite satisfied with the elders' decision.

"Because there's an abnormality in the altar's spiritual power, it must be temporarily closed to avoid further trouble. Therefore, Basil cannot do the test again for now. However, as the champion of the newcome contest, Basil's strength and potential are undoubtedly on another level. Hence, after some discussion, we decide to make an exception for him and grant him a spot for the representatives of the Spiritual Infan Contest. The rest of the fourteen disciples will participate in the next rounds until the other four representatives and three candidates are selected," Felton announced.

The people couldn't believe what they just heard. It was as if another bomb was dropped in their midst that caused a massive uproar.

"What? Basil is directly selected to be a representative?"

"I don't know if this guy is just really lucky or what! This is outrageous!"

"Well, as Elder Felton said, he was the champion of the newcomer contest. I think even if he still participated in the next round, he will have a huge chance to snatch a spot to become a representative in the Spiritual Infant Contest."

At the same time, Rocky also didn't expect that the elders would come up with such a decision. He actually thought that he would be eliminated after they declared that his test result was invalid. Although he aimed to take part in the Spiritual Infant Contest, he just didn't expect that he would get the spot this way.

However, he already had a hunch that declaring his test result to be invalid was just a cover. They must have considered directly giving him a spot because of the extraordinary potential that he had shown in the test earlier. They just said that an accident occurred because if the news spread out, it would definitely attract the attention of the other two schools, so they had no choice but to trick the people into believing that the result was faux.

"Today's Imperial Soul test is over. You may now leave and come back tomorrow for the other tests." Felton immediately waved his hands and dismissed the crowd, as well as the participants. Soon, the students who had been watching the event dispersed.

At that time, most of the disciples, who were fighting for the right to participate in the Spiritual Infant Contest, including Moore, cast a meaningful stare at Rocky before they eventually left the place. "Basil, come with me!" Before Rocky could leave together with Eunice, Felton suddenly appeared and called out to him.

"Okay, sir..." Rocky turned to Eunice and gestured at her to go on without him.

Then, Eunice just nodded back and watched as Rocky left with Felton.

Not long after, Felton and Rocky arrived in a room that looked like a study. There were many bookshelves around, and all kinds of books could be seen that seemed like from ancient times. "Have a seat," Felton told Rocky after he sat down behind the desk.

Rocky nodded, did as told, and sat on the chair nearest to him.

"Basil, do you know why I asked you to come here with me?" the elder asked straightforwardly.

"I'm not quite sure, sir," Rocky replied calmly.

"When you were in the altar and you displayed the potential of your Spiritual Infant, you knew that it was pretty unusual, didn't you? Do you care to explain it?" Felton directly pointed out.

"I actually have nothing to explain. I haven't tested the potential of my Spiritual Infant before, so I wouldn't know if there was something wrong with it," Rocky answered as he lightly shook his head. "Oh, is that so?" Felton furrowed his brows and was a little bit unconvinced. Obviously, he was suspecting that Rocky was hiding something, but he couldn't prove it since, based on Rocky's tone and expression, it seemed that Rocky really didn't know the unusual potential of his Spiritual Infant.

"If you still have any doubts, I'm willing to withdraw from the school just to prove my innocence, sir," Rocky uttered without any hint of hesitation.

The elder's expression suddenly changed when he heard that. He didn't expect that Rocky would be this resolute and direct, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Why do you need to go that far? I was just trying to clear things up. It's not like I meant to doubt or accuse you of something. Besides, you are a disciple that was recommended by the Di Clan. It's actually normal if you perform extraordinarily in several aspects. The other elders and I already decided to make an exception for you to be one of the representatives of the Spiritual Infant Contest because we believe that you really have the strength and talent to fight for the school, and we are hoping that you won't let us down."000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
