The Medallion

Chapter 1913 A Set Of Unique Skill

Truly, the Wankong Clan was in a bind. If they went to the Ethereal Valley and failed to acquire any gains that could improve their strength, losing their status as one of the five great clans was within the bounds of possibility. In that case, the Myriad Spiritual Hall would then take their place.

If that happened, it would undoubtedly bring utter humiliation to the entire Wankong Clan, a clan of great antiquity.

This was the reason why they chose to relax the conditions and accept even outsiders to take part in their test.

Luckily, all their efforts eventually paid off. They finally found a promising candidate.

"It seems that you've put a great deal of effort into this whole thing, Alex," Rocky commented.

"That's for sure. But it's all been worth it, right?" Alex replied with a smile that looked so genuine.

After strolling around and familiarizing the territory of the Wankong Clan, Alex sent Rocky and Vivian back to the Spring Cloud Pavilion where they stayed.

Before they parted ways, Alex brought up a suggestion. "There's still about a month before the Ethereal Valley opens. Let's take this time as a chance to improve your strength. I'll arrange a test for you first thing tomorrow to get a glimpse of your overall strength." Since Rocky and Vivian did not get tested for their strength during the spiritual root test, Alex could only estimate that their strength should be at the Spirit Realm or the King Realm. They could even be above the King Realm, but she had to make sure first.

If indeed they were at the King Realm, they would be able to protect themselves inside the Ethereal Valley. Otherwise, she would have to make other arrangements.

Rocky was well aware of what she was thinking, so he kept his mouth shut.

Right after Alex left, Vivian snapped, "Does that little girl really think we're weak? What makes her think that we'll do whatever she asks us to do?"

"Don't get mad, Vivian. I believe she's doing all that for our own benefit. After all, she has no idea about our real strength."

"Fine. What level of strength are you going to show her then?"

"How about showing her that I merely have the Spiritual Infant? I'll act as a loser for the time being, and you can probably just show that you're at the King Realm since you can't pretend to be too weak. Especially since they had proven that your spiritual root is at the Heaven Stage." After some thought, Rocky came up with a proposal.

"If they see you a loser, won't that disappoint the young master?"

"Why should she be disappointed? It doesn't matter if I'm strong or not. My existence is simply for bringing more opportunities to her clan, almost like an admission ticket." It was clear to Rocky what his role was. The only reason why the Wankong Clan took a fancy to him was not because of his strength, but because he had the spiritual root that enabled him to go to the Ethereal Valley unrestricted. This freedom that he had could bring the Wankong Clan some incredible assets.

"Right... Well, then. Carry on!" Vivian finally got on board with the idea.

After their conversation, she went to her room on the third floor.

Rocky had nothing else to do, so he left the Spring Cloud Pavilion and went to find a quiet place to cultivate. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Since the Spring Cloud Pavilion was already a remote place, Rocky easily found a good cultivation spot deeper in the forest.

He had to scout for the most optimal spot since he had been wanting to explore and study how to use the power of his Fighting Soul ever since it got promoted from his Imperial Soul.

If it would be based according to the standard in the Holy-Evil World, the Fighting Soul could be considered the Divine Soul.

In the early stages of the creation of the Holy-Evil World, the Divine Soul was recognized as the foundation of the cultivation of deities and devils. It was also the symbol of the most powerful warrior in the Supreme Ether Land.

It was inevitable for the powerful warriors of the Shura Race to cultivate the Fighting Soul because they had to cultivate the Divine Soul if they wanted to reach the God Realm. However, they also had to reach the medium or premium stage of the Shura Realm first before they could even cultivate the Fighting Soul.

Clearly, it was not an easy feat—releasing the Fighting Soul would consume a large amount of spiritual power, and it could even hurt the owner once the Fighting Soul got injured. That was the reason why it was important that the warriors of the Shura Race cultivate this in a safe environment. On top of all that, they would not choose to use the power of the Fighting Soul unless it was absolutely necessary, since it would be extremely risky.

Therefore, in the Ghostly Demon Land, none of the masters at the premium grade of the Shura Realm had released the power of their Fighting Souls to fight. Of course, to them, it was meant to enhance their basic strength. But more than that, it was meant to save their lives at critical moments. Only when their Fighting Souls were strong enough could they release the power of the Fighting Souls to fight.

Originally, it should have been impossible for Rocky's soul to be promoted to the Fighting Soul so soon, because he had just broken through to the Emperor Realm. He also had just cultivated the Imperial Soul with the help of the Spiritual Energy Gathering Pill before the Spiritual Emperor Contest. After that,

he had enhanced his Imperial Soul by using the Mysterious Soul Formula. Due to the limited conditions, however, he did not have quite a smooth progress.

Later, thanks to the Divine Nether Flower he obtained while in the Holy Heaven Palace, his soul power had advanced greatly. Moreover, he broke through to the Shura Realm even before his soul became a Fighting Soul first, which actually cleared the obstacles for its upgrade. That was why his soul could be promoted directly from the Imperial Soul to the Fighting Soul later so easily.

Any powerful warrior would surely find this kind of adventure and opportunities beyond belief.

Now that he had already cultivated his Fighting Soul, Rocky thought it would be a huge waste if he did not make use of it.

As Rocky sat down, he entered the palace with his mind.

"Master! It's nice to see you." The guardian also came into sight as soon as Rocky appeared.

"I'm thinking of cultivating more advanced soul skills since my soul has already become a Fighting Soul, which is also the Divine Soul. Is it possible?" Rocky asked straight away.

"Normally, yes. However, you've already practiced the Mysterious Soul Formula, so you can't cultivate other soul skills anymore," the guardian outright replied.

"Seriously? Oh no. I didn't see that coming..." Rocky was at a loss.

"Well, the Mysterious Soul Formula can still evolve itself even though it's already at the Emperor Realm. Besides, since your Imperial Soul got promoted, the cultivation effect of the Mysterious Soul Formula will also be improved, so you don't really need to regret cultivating it." The guardian offered some clarifications.

"Oh, I see. I thought it's been for naught." Rocky heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this information.

"Now that you already have the Divine Soul, you can unlock the middle-grade divine treasures. However, like the low-grade divine treasures, most of them are imitations and have a limited number of uses. What's more, since your Imperial Soul has been promoted to Fighting Soul, you can cultivate all kinds of secret manuals at the Shura Realm that my former master had collected..." The guardian made sure to remind Rocky of the upsides he had achieved.

"Cool! I'd like that. What can you recommend?" Rocky raised his eyebrows as his eyes twinkled. Ever since he got the palace, he could easily get everything he wanted. It made him feel elated.

"Master, the Flaming Ogre Formula that you have practiced was created by my former master when he was still at the Emperor Realm, so that's only suitable for you to cultivate back when you were at the Emperor Realm. You're now at the Shura Realm, so I advise you to cultivate a new mind method that corresponds to your current level," the guardian suggested.

"If I do that, will it have any effect on my cultivation?" Rocky asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Well, not really. But it is still best that you change your cultivation habits."

"All right then. I'll leave it to you. Please choose a mind method and a unique skill for me!" Rocky agreed and fully trusted the guardian's judgment.
