The Medallion

Chapter 1902 You Scared Me

"Congratulations, Valeria! You just acquired a very rare beast." Although the king was actually frustrated at the outcome, he still forced himself to congratulate Valeria with a smile on his face.

At the same time, the elders, fief leaders, and other members of the royal family also extended their congratulations. Of course, it was such a big deal since no one was able to subdue Aryanna for several decades.

Valeria could just nod and smile. After all, she knew that it would not be possible if it were not for Rocky.

Moreover, Rocky had easily subdued two of the top beasts in the festival, but he just gave both of them to Gloria and Valeria. Of course, this gesture made most members of the Shura Race green with envy.

"I guess that concludes this year's Beast-fighting Festival!" Seeing that it was getting late, the king decided to cut the festival short.

After some more conversations, the king and the elders left first.

Then, the leaders and the other Godly Geniuses also went their way.

Soon enough, the whole square was emptied, leaving only Rocky, Gilbert, Flora, Valeria, and Vivian behind.

After the king left, Layla returned and walked towards Rocky and the others.

"So, did everyone have fun? I did not expect that Odin would have such a great harvest at the Beast- fighting Festival." Layla was still in disbelief that Rocky acquired two powerful beasts for Gloria and Valeria, which would be very helpful later on. Although Gloria was a member of the Genie Fief, she actually sided with Layla and was helping Rocky execute his plans.

"I know! By the way, Odin, won't you tell us how you were able to subdue the Two-headed Supreme Dragon?" Even Flora was very curious, so she could not help but ask.

"Hey! My name is Aryanna, not the Two-headed Supreme Dragon!" Aryanna, who was standing next to Valeria, immediately corrected Flora and let out a frown.

"Oh, that's right. Please forgive me." Although Aryanna took the form of a young woman, she was actually hundreds of years old already. Hence, Flora instantly apologized in a respectful tone.

"Well, I guess it will just be a secret between me and Aryanna," Rocky said, deliberately keeping them guessing.

"When did you ever tell us anything in the first place?" Layla complained, knowing how secretive Rocky was.

"By the way, I heard that both the Primitive Fief and the Purgatory Fief parted ways with Prince Zain. Are you not going to talk with their leaders?" Rocky asked Layla, diverting the topic to a more important one.

"I've already sent my men to them. However, it seemed that the two leaders intended to wait in the meantime. Well, I'm sure that they will only pick a side when they gain some assurance," Layla replied with a shrug.

"Well, that makes sense. They are just being smart and cautious." Rocky nodded, thinking that they could not do anything about it for now.

"With the departure of the two fiefs, Prince Zain's overall power has been greatly weakened, so we don't really need to be afraid of him. Right now, we can focus our attention on the royal family and Prince Enoch. However, as we can see, Prince Enoch also doesn't plan on directly engaging with the

royal family anytime soon. That means that we also can't take advantage of their conflict," Gilbert said as he slightly shook his head.

"Actually, Prince Enoch's patience is also beyond my expectations. I can only suspect that he is plotting something secretly. He will have to make a move soon, and we just need to be very aware of his every action." As a cunning man himself, Rocky knew that Enoch would not stay silent without preparing something big.

"Then, I guess we can only wait and see for now."

After that, every one of them also went their own way.

A few days later, the king sent some of his men to summon the leaders of the fiefs, as well as the Godly Geniuses, into the Royal Land. It seemed that it was the time for the king to announce the identities of the Godly Geniuses of the royal family.

As soon as Rocky, Gilbert, and Valeria arrived at the king's palace, they saw four unfamiliar Shura Realm masters standing in the center of the hall. Three of them were men, and only one was a woman. Also, from what Rocky and the others could perceive, their auras were different from ordinary Shura Realm masters.

Without even saying anything, they were sure that these four were the Godly Geniuses of the royal family whose identities were previously concealed.

"I think you already have a hunch, but nonetheless, let me introduce these four young people. These are the Godly Geniuses of the royal family that were chosen by the deity. After they were chosen, they had been secretly cultivating in seclusion." The king gave a brief introduction.

"Godly Geniuses and leaders of the fiefs, nice to meet you. I am Benjamin." One of the four immediately introduced himself and cupped his hands to the visitors. He was a handsome man whose

appearance was very similar to that of a member of the spiritual race.

"My name is Cruz." Then, a skinny young man, with a huge gourd on his back, stepped forward and cupped his hands.

"I am called Clinton!" This time, a stout man with whiskers on his face spoke up. Compared to the other three, he was like a little giant.

"I'm Billie!" Lastly, the only female Godly Genius introduced herself in a haughty tone.

"Enough about us. Who among here is the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief?" the huge and bearded Clinton asked as though he was about to issue a challenge.

"It's me," Rocky replied flatly.

Hearing this, the four Godly Geniuses of the royal family quickly shifted their gazes to Rocky and stared at him from head to toe. It seemed that they heard a lot of rumors about him. After they came back from their cultivation, they were informed that Rocky not only obtained Phillip's spiritual power but also the Purgatorial Tripod itself. Then, he also overcame the Heavenly Demon Tower upon the king's order. Naturally, they would be very curious about Rocky.

"Is it true that you have got out of the Heavenly Demon Tower unscathed?" Clinton asked straightforwardly.

"Yes. But I guess I just got lucky," Rocky replied, downplaying his own abilities yet again.

"Maybe. But I don't think that you are weak. Do you care to spar with me?" Clinton asked with a defiant sneer.

Rocky could easily discern that Clinton was just provoking him, so he just smiled and said, "I don't think I'm strong enough. You might only get disappointed if you sparred with me."

"Ha! What a useless coward!" Clinton instantly snorted disdainfully.

Hearing Rocky's words, the other Godly Geniuses of the royal family, as well as the royal members, also showed a hint of mockery on their faces. They believed that Rocky was only declining because he was afraid to lose to Clinton.

"Hey! Show some decency!" Valeria immediately stepped up and defended Rocky. After all, she could not stand it when someone was mocking him.

"Did you really think that he's afraid of you? Odin just said that out of modesty," Gloria also chimed in, obviously unhappy that they were belittling Rocky.

"Well, let's not get carried away. If you want, you can spar with Rubygon," Rocky suddenly said, narrowing his eyes. Originally, he did not want to embarrass these Godly Geniuses. However, upon seeing their rotten attitudes at their first meeting, he thought that he did not need to be polite with this arrogant bunch. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"Rubygon? Who's that?" Clinton asked with furrowed brows.

"Oh, it's my spiritual beast," Rocky replied.

"Humph! Not only are you a coward, but you want to make me fight with a mere spiritual beast? That's ridiculous!" Clinton continued with his mockery.

"Well, my spiritual beast is more powerful than me. Are you afraid that you might lose to a mere spiritual beast?" Now, it was Rocky's turn to provoke Clinton.

"Ha! Why would I be afraid? Fine! Call your spiritual beast and watch me beat it to a pulp!" Rocky could just smile inwardly, knowing that this simple-minded man had already fallen into his trap.

At the same time, Valeria and Layla also looked at each other. They knew that Rocky was going to humiliate Clinton. After all, they once witnessed how powerful Rubygon was.

Of course, most of the members of the royal family present had no idea how strong Rubygon was. The only ones who witnessed the diabolic beast's prowess were the warriors who had entered the Ghostly Demon Land. However, even the ones who came back from the deadly land did not want to speak of it again, so no one really knew about Rubygon's real strength. Even the king only heard about it because of Zain. Since he had no idea how strong the beast really was, the king did not try to stop Clinton.

"All right then. Let's head to a more open place." Rocky then walked out of the hall with a smirk on his face.

Immediately after, Clinton followed, itching to teach both Rocky and Rubygon a lesson.

At the same time, the other royal members followed outside the hall. It was the first meeting of the Godly Geniuses of the fiefs and the royal family, but they already got heated. Hence, they wanted to see who would have the upper hand.

As soon as they arrived at the square outside the hall, Clinton shouted conceitedly, "Summon your spiritual beast, and let me see what kind of useless beast it is!"

Then, Rocky summoned Rubygon with his mind. Soon enough, a majestic and overbearing diabolic beast swooped down and instantly landed on the square.

The moment it landed, Rubygon let out a ferocious roar that shook the surroundings. Its momentum was astounding, and it unleashed an aura at the Shura Realm.

"What the hell? That beast is at the Shura Realm!" At this time, the royal members present were stumped to see such a legendary beast.
