The Medallion novel Chapter 1791

"Nonsense! He's merely a young, inexperienced Godly Genius. He hasn't even reached the Shura Realm yet. How dare you let him go to the Avici Palace? Is he not risking his life? It is a life and death game in that hall!" The expression on Mikayla's face reflected the seriousness of the situation.

"Although that's true, we all agree that this particular Godly Genius is extraordinary. Moreover, his recent performance has proven this well. He's already passed fifty challenges successfully in a row!" another deity pointed out immediately.

"Fifty challenges?" Mikayla was stunned. The Avici Palace was set up to test the Godly Geniuses once they reached the Shura Realm. Any Godly Genius that made it to this realm would need to pass that hall's rigorous tests. No one had ever participated in a test with a strength that only reached the Emperor Realm before.

What was more amazing was that Rocky, who had yet to break through to the Shura Realm, could pass all fifty challenges so smoothly.

The range of challenges in the Avici Palace was like a sea of knowledge that covered everything. Anyone who wanted to pass the tests there would have to possess extraordinary skills. Even the chosen Godly Geniuses had to go through countless trials to have their shot.

"Maybe he's just lucky…" Mikayla replied with a frown.

But she added nothing more. Instead, she quietly observed Rocky's performance through the mirror.

Meanwhile, the upcoming challenges became increasingly more difficult for Rocky after he achieved finishing the fifty challenges with ease.

The content became more complicated.

Like in the fifty-first one, he encountered one of the toughest challenges he had ever faced. The clues was hidden in a well-known folk story of the continent.

Because the culture of this world was vastly different from that of Rocky's, the folk stories it held dear would naturally be different.

Fortunately, in the memory of the Scarlet Heaven Jade, there were many memories of senior masters with profound literary attainments. Therefore, with their knowledge, Rocky managed to muddle through.

Not long after, he had already finished sixty challenges.

Mikayla and the other deities focused on Rocky were slightly shocked by the fact that his performance had greatly exceeded their expectations.

"This Godly Genius's ability is astounding! But the real challenge awaits in those past the sixtieth one. Without enough profound knowledge and life experience, it will be quite a challenge to get any of them right!"

The deities began to discuss among themselves. Only Mikayla was silently paying attention to Rocky.

At that moment, Rocky faced the sixty-first challenge where he was asked to talk about his opinions of the martial arts.

'Is it testing my exposition ability?' Rocky was born during modern times, so the knowledge he had was beyond the comprehension of the people in this world. Although this topic seemed rather difficult for others, it was actually as simple as turning a palm for Rocky. In fact, it was no different from writing a thesis.

He then began to quote various famous people from his time and their theories that were unheard of in this world to discuss his views.

After his detailed explanation, ten lamps were lit up in the hall. Amazingly, he solved ten questions with a single answer. This meant he now passed seventy challenges.

"Are you kidding?" Rocky was surprised as well.

Two hours later, ninety-nine lights were on. Only one more was needed for him to finally leave the palace.

"I didn't expect him to make it to the ninety-ninth question and challenge."

Four hours swiftly flew by but he still hadn't moved. He knew that the purple beast shadow was still on its guard. Any sudden move he'd make would surely scare it off again. Therefore, he needed to be still for as long as possible until he was sure he could trap it.

Meanwhile, the deities watching through the mirror were beginning to grow impatient.

"It appears this Godly Genius might not be able to pass this final challenge. The soul of a legendary beast is something that, after all, not just any ordinary person could catch."

"That's true. However, it's already miraculous that he was able to pass all previous ninety-nine challenges considering his current strength!"

"Why don't you send him back? If he is trapped and killed in the Avici Palace, then all hope for our Holy-Evil World will vanish along with him."

"That's right. Let's stop this and send him back!"

Just as the deities were discussing among themselves, Mikayla interrupted, "Now that he's in the Avici Palace, he must finish all one hundred challenges. If he can't, then whether or not he survives will be up to his destiny!"

The deities couldn't help but be startled by her words since she was the one who chose the Godly Genius currently in the hall. They had expected that Mikayla would show mercy and let him out. However, it appeared that this wouldn't happen judging from her reaction.

"You don't have to be so harsh on him, do you? We've sent him to the hall just to test him. We never intended to hurt him!" a deity reminded her.

"Rules are rules. No one is exempted from them without any authorization. Otherwise, it will be unfair to the other Godly Geniuses!" Mikayla firmly retorted with a deadpan expression.

The deities immediately looked at each other, worry written all over their faces.
