The Medallion
Chapter 1744 Going All Out

However, not long after, two more cards suddenly appeared behind Rocky's. These actually belonged to Gloria and Valeria.

The truth was the two women entered the array just a little earlier than Rocky. Of course, they also tried to suppress their strength, so their progress was just about the same as Rocky's

In the first round, in order not to expose their identities, both women tried their best to keep a low profile. However, they did not expect that there were many promising participants in the contest. Hence, they thought that they needed to get a better ranking in the second round. With that in mind, they began to take the limit test more seriously.

Meanwhile, among the low-grade Spiritual Emperors inside the Myriad Illusionary Array, Moore, Seth, and Barron were the ones taking the lead, reaching the fortieth pass.

On the other hand, Carla and Eunice seemed to be having some difficulties as they were both stuck in the thirty-fifth pass and could not move forward.

Before long, Moore finally took the lead and advanced to the forty-first pass.

But soon enough, Seth and Barron also caught up and reached the forty-first pass as well.

The onlookers could not help but exclaim and gasp in awe as they witnessed the progress of the promising participants. After all, any low-grade Spiritual Emperor who was able to at least reach the fortieth pass was considered to be very powerful.

In conclusion, the fact that the participants from the human race and spiritual race racing with each other made the audience thrilled.

But since the majority of the people watching were humans, they were rooting for the Spiritual Emperors of the human race to succeed and triumph in the end.

Another two hours had passed, and everyone's eyes were glued to the progress cards.

After such a fierce battle inside the array, Carla and Eunice both stopped after reaching the forty-first pass.

Meanwhile, Moore, Seth, and Barron still had the lead and were now on the forty-fourth pass.

However, without really being noticed by the crowd, Rocky had also advanced to the fortieth pass and was progressing steadily.

At the same time, Valeria and Gloria were just about one or two passes behind him.

With Rocky's current strength, if he really wanted to, he could easily catch up with Moore and the other two, or even surpass them. But he deemed that it would not be a smart move. After all, people's attention would instantly shift to him, and his real strength might be exposed right away. Hence, he suppressed his power and proceeded at the pace of a normal low-grade Spiritual Emperor.

After another two hours, Seth and Barron, the leading candidates from the spiritual race, had already reached the forty-fifth pass. However, to everyone's surprise, Moore, the leading candidate from the human race had to forfeit at the forty-fourth pass.

"What a pity! I thought Moore could still go for a couple more passes. Now, the two Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race had finally taken the lead."

"That's okay. He's still young but his strength is already close to the medium stage. It won't be long before he could have a breakthrough. Right now, he's still one of the most outstanding Spiritual Emperors from the human race!"

"I agree. Besides Lilith, he should be the next most talented one in the Sky-suppressing Mansion. I can't wait for him to grow even stronger."

"The young generation is so remarkable. I can't even count the number of amazing talents that emerged in the Ethereal Region in recent years!"

"But it's still a little disappointing that the Spiritual Emperors of the human race cannot catch up with the talents of the spiritual race. Anyway, let's see how Seth and Barron will do in the next passes." Since Moore, who could compete with Seth and Barron, withdrew from the test, the onlookers could not help but sigh, feeling a little saddened at the outcome. However, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Everyone! Look at that! Number ninety-nine had already made it to the forty-fourth pass! That was pretty fast!" Everyone was busy looking at the progress of Moore and the two members of the spiritual race that no one noticed Rocky sneakily catching up.

"What? How is that possible? It feels like he isn't struggling at all!" "When did this happen? I didn't notice that he already made it that far!"

"Are you sure that this guy isn't cheating? I thought he has just reached the fortieth pass not long ago? How could he make such huge progress in that span of time?" "Yeah, that is weird. Are you saying that he is stronger and more talented than Moore?"

In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, and everyone expressed their doubts about what was happening. Of course, since they had not heard about Rocky, they found it strange that an unknown warrior could perform this well.

But their suspicion was just based on the information they knew, and thus it was groundless. Besides, the test was strictly supervised by several senior Spiritual Emperors from the Di Clan, so no form of cheating could go past them.

However, even though most of the people doubted Rocky, it didn't have any effect on him. After all, he was already used to this kind of treatment. He still maintained his rhythm and steadily advanced through the passes in the Myriad Illusionary Array.

At the same time, the spectators also recognized Valeria and Gloria who were just quite behind Rocky and were also making the same progress.

Soon enough, the three of them made a sensation. No one expected that these unknown human Spiritual Emperors would suddenly appear and bring the competition back against the members of the spiritual

race.

At this moment, Carla and Eunice, who had just come out of the Myriad Illusionary Array, also noticed what was going on.

"What? That guy is really reckless! He promised to keep a low profile, but he is now at the forty-fourth pass?" Eunice complained as her face grew sour. She knew Rocky's number, so she instantly knew that it was him who was currently at the forty-fourth pass. Although she thought that with his strength, it should not be surprising. However, she was still worried because Rocky needed to protect himself from being discovered this early in the contest.

"Eunice, what's the matter?" Carla saw that Eunice was mumbling something while wearing a slightly irritated expression on her face, so she came over and asked. "Huh?

Oh... Ha-ha! It's nothing. I'm just disappointed that I was not able to go further." Of course, Eunice quickly found an excuse because she could not tell the truth. Although she actually wanted to inform Carla that Rocky was back, she couldn't say it without his consent. Hence, as she lied to Carla, she could not help but feel guilty.

"Look at number ninety-nine. Who the hell is that guy? I haven't heard of him before. With his current progress, he should even be more powerful than Moore. If this goes on, he might eventually catch up with the Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual race. Moreover, there are two others who are just behind him. It's so weird. Those three are this powerful but I haven't heard of their names before." Carla felt rather confused after looking at the progress cards that actually belonged to Rocky, Valeria, and Gloria.

"Well, those three are actually new Spiritual Emperors from the Di Clan..." Eunice answered, only stating half of the truth.

"Really? Well, that explains it. No wonder all of them have remarkable talents." Hearing what Eunice said, Carla's suspicion eventually dissipated. After all, the Di Clan was a haven for the elites. In the entire Ethereal Region, it was the only clan that could cultivate warriors that could even be stronger than the disciples of the Sky-suppressing Mansion and the Sovereign Pavilion.

Now that Moore had withdrawn from the test, and most of the other participants had also given up, the Myriad Illusionary Array had now become a stage for the showdown between Rocky, Valeria, Gloria, and the two Spiritual Emperors from the spiritual race.

After another hour, the peaceful vibe in the audience was disturbed once again by a sudden development.

As the onlookers saw the update in the progress cards, a massive uproar broke out.

Barron just failed to advance from the forty-fifth pass because he was not able to beat his opponent within the required time. At the same time, Rocky had just surpassed the forty-fourth pass and advanced to the forty-fifth one.

Meanwhile, Valeria and Gloria reached the forty-fourth pass together.

As for Seth, he was still ahead of everyone else, and it seemed that he was not going to stop anytime soon.

Since only the four of them were left in the Myriad Illusionary Array, who had reached above the fortieth pass, their performances had been the only focus of the people right now.

As they advanced further, they got closer to the limit of fifty passes. Hence, from here on, the developments should be more exciting to watch.

At the same time, the four lived up to the expectations of the crowd and gave them something to look forward to.

Soon enough, Rocky's card revealed that he had just entered the forty-eighth pass, while Seth had already advanced the forty-ninth pass, just a step away from the limit for the low-grade Spiritual Emperors. On the other hand, as Valeria entered the forty-seventh pass, she unexpectedly gave up. Apparently, she was worried that if she continued to advance further, her identity might get exposed. So, in order to be safe, she deemed that it was time for her to withdraw.

Meanwhile, Gloria still proceeded with the test. It seemed that she had the intention of catching up with Rocky and Seth.

'Since the fiftieth pass is the limit for the low-grade Spiritual Emperor, I'll stop after finishing that.' Rocky already calculated the points that he could acquire from the limit test and thought that it was enough to stabilize his ranking. After this, even if he only played it safe in the potential test, he should still be able to qualify for the next round.

After another two hours of tedious struggle, Seth finally reached his limit and failed to get out of the forty-ninth pass. It was such a shame because he was just a step away from reaching the fiftieth one. Upon exiting the Myriad Illusionary Array, he was immediately surrounded by his followers.

"Congratulations, Young Master! You have gained the highest record among the low-grade Spiritual Emperors from both the human race and the spiritual race. With such an amazing result, you will certainly land within the top fifty!" His followers showered him with praises, thinking that no one would be able to beat his record.

The Myriad Spiritual Hall, where he belonged, was a famous sect in the spiritual race. Therefore, as its young master, Seth always felt the need to be superior to the other Spiritual Emperors of the spiritual

race.

"Well, that's just what I expected," Seth responded with a sneer, feeling confident of his accomplishment. He was actually the most popular and most esteemed new Spiritual Emperor in the spiritual race, so he was shouldering the responsibility of defending the reputation of the entire spiritual race in this contest. Therefore, he had no choice but to go all out.
