The Medallion novel Chapter 1740

"All right then. If you still need anything, just tell me. I'll ask Eunice right away to arrange it for you," Colton reassured Rocky.

"Okay. Thank you." Rocky nodded, grateful for Colton's cooperation.

"By the way, I think I should let you know that we have decided to add another rule in the Spiritual Emperor Contest. It means that the Spiritual Emperors who are not officially part of the contest can challenge the participants. This way, more Spiritual Emperors will have the chance to take part in the contest. I think that it will be a good opportunity for you to challenge more Spiritual Emperors using the identity of Basil, so that you may carry out your plans better," Colton explained.

"Really? That will be really helpful." Rocky let out a smirk and thought that it was indeed a good idea.

"Well, it's time for me to leave. I am definitely looking forward to your performance in the contest," Colton said with a smile. Then, he put on his bamboo hat and eventually vanished into thin air.

Afterward, Rocky also left and headed back to his residence.

At the door, he found Eunice there, who had been waiting for him all this time. Then, she approached him and asked, "What were you talking about with the chief? Tell me."

"It's a secret! Walls have ears. Someone might be listening out there." Seeing how serious Eunice was, Rocky decided to tease her.

"Humph! You just don't want to say it!" Eunice snorted while staring at Rocky in disdain.

"By the way, I heard from the chief that they will add another rule to the Spiritual Emperor Contest to accommodate more participants. So, I decided to use my identity as Basil to challenge more Spiritual Emperors. Can you arrange that for me?" Rocky asked. This time, his expression eventually became serious.

"I was just about to tell you that. I've already arranged it for you." As soon as Eunice said that, she took out a jade token with the name Basil engraved on it, and showed it to Rocky.

"Wow. It seems that you really know how I think. I can see that you care for me so much," Rocky said with a meaningful smile.

"What? You are so full of yourself! Can I smack you just once?" Eunice said with contempt as she got flustered.

"Ha-ha. But seriously, thank you." Then, Rocky took the jade token from Eunice and went straight to the gate.

"Damn it. That guy is super annoying!" Eunice's heart was still pounding as she stared at Rocky's back with her eyes full of affection.

Three days eventually passed, and the Spiritual Emperor Contest arrived as scheduled.

Early on that morning, as expected, the square of the Boundless Manor was crowded with people. All of the one hundred Spiritual Emperors gathered there. Of course, there were also people who came from various places to watch the competition, including some senior leaders of the spiritual race.

Not long after, Colton appeared together with three elders and more than ten Spiritual Emperors from the Di Clan. In fact, they were enough to make the audience gasp because of their majestic aura.

Then, after a brief impassioned speech from Colton, he began explaining the rules of the contest.

This year, the Spiritual Emperor Contest would not simply adopt the elimination system. In the first two rounds, there would be all kinds of tests, and the participants would gain corresponding points by passing them. The higher one's points were, the higher his ranking would be. After these two rounds, the one hundred Spiritual Emperors would be challenged by other Spiritual Emperors who were not originally qualified to enter the contest. If the points accumulated by the challengers reached the top one hundred, then the original participants who fell in the ranking would be eliminated.

"The first round of the Spiritual Emperor Contest will test your abilities. Every Spiritual Emperor will need to take a series of tests and obtain points from them. I hope that you will perform well so that you can accumulate as many points as possible." Right after Colton finished speaking, the gongs and drums in the square began to resound.

With this, the Spiritual Emperor Contest, which was held for the rapport of the human race and the spiritual race, officially began.

Immediately after, the participants rushed to the test areas that were spread throughout the Boundless Mountain.

"So, where is that apprentice pharmacist of yours? Did he not come?" Valeria walked towards Rocky and asked him.

"Moore Duan, the elite Spiritual Emperor of the Sky-suppressing Mansion also broke a thousand-pound Strength Testing Stone. The thousand-pound stone should be the highest record for the Spiritual Emperors at the primary stage. It means that he really is spectacular!"

As Rocky listened to the chatter in the crowd, he saw Holden on the stage. He was the young master of the Sovereign Pavilion that the people were talking about, and they had met before in the small border city. He was now in the middle of the stage, wearing a proud expression on his face.

'Hmm, I didn't expect that Holden would be so powerful. Fortunately, I never had any conflict with him previously, ' Rocky thought, remembering his previous encounter with him.

Soon enough, Holden asked to increase the weight by another two hundred pounds. It seemed that he was attempting to break the record for the Spiritual Emperors at the primary stage. Thus, this naturally attracted the attention of the onlookers.

The area for the test of strength could accommodate ten participants at the same time, but since the number of Spiritual Emperors participating at this time was rather low, the number on Rocky's jade token was already called. It was also his turn to take the test while Holden was attempting to break the 1, 200-pound stone.

Then, Rocky raised his hand upon hearing that his number was called.

"Please go to the second test point on the left. Wait for further instructions when you get there," the staff in charge said.

Rocky nodded and walked towards the second test point. On the sideline, he saw the recorder that would assist him.

"Okay, you can start. How many pounds do you want to challenge first?" the recorder asked right away.

"One thousand," Rocky said without a shred of hesitation.

At this time, the onlookers at the area who heard this were all stunned. They saw that Rocky was only a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage, but he dared to challenge the highest record for his level right away.

Of course, even the recorder was dumbfounded. He had confirmed from Rocky's jade token that he was indeed a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage. He had been recording the test results for more than half a day, but it was his first time encountering a Spiritual Emperor at the primary stage who wanted to challenge the highest record right off the bat.
