The Medallion Chapter 1573 In Danger

"Okay," Maxwell responded.

His voice had barely faded away when he suddenly screamed and all of his muscles started twitching.

"Is your body rejecting the gene?" Rocky asked, mostly to himself. That was the first time that he had
done genetic experiments on a human being. Although the new genes he had developed wouldn't have
much impact on the main genetic sequences of a human and normally wouldn't endanger their lives, he
was still worried that something else could go wrong.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the rejection that Maxwell's body was currently going through, Rocky
touched him and transferred some of his spiritual power over.

Moments later, he realized that the spiritual power that he had poured into Maxwell's body was being
absorbed too quickly.

Rocky bent over and looked closely at Maxwell's body. He discovered lots of big changes, especially in
his meridians. He knew that an ordinary person's meridians were different from that of a spirit warrior. A
spirit warrior's meridians were much wider and thicker and they connected with each other in a
harmonious way.

Meanwhile, it looked like Maxwell's meridians were also widening. Before long, they were wider than a
spirit warrior's!

"Is his body experiencing extreme mutation because of the new genes?" If that were the case, Rocky
wasn't sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

For the sake of safety, Rocky had to withdraw his spiritual power. Seconds later, it appeared that
Maxwell's condition had slightly improved, but his body was still undergoing changes.

He had also fallen into a coma.



It took more than twenty hours for his physical changes to cease. Rocky stood guard beside him the
whole time and checked his body, and the results he saw were even more surprising.

Rocky gasped. Judging from the width of Maxwell's meridians, he had reached at least the primary
stage of the Spiritual Infant.

In other words, Maxwell hadn't needed to cultivate for a long time to broaden his meridians and hold
more spiritual power. He would only need to adapt to his new body and strengthen his physical
cultivation. There was a chance that in a few months, he could move straight to the primary stage of
the Spiritual Infant.

"This is a blessing in disguise," Rocky murmured to himself. He had expected his genetic experiments
to be successful, but he had no idea that they could reach such limits.

Not long after, Maxwell woke up.

"How long... have I slept?" he mumbled, thinking he had been asleep the entire time.

"It's been half a day. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Rocky asked, stepping closer to him.

"No, I'm fine. In fact, my body feels super light..." As Maxwell spoke, he propped himself up with one
hand, nearly causing his head to hit the ceiling.

His eyes were wide as he looked down at Rocky. After landing back on the ground, he looked at his
hands and feet in a panic.

"The experimental genetic modification performed on your body was successful. Now, you have directly
acquired the physique of a spirit warrior. That means you won't have to build a foundation like an
ordinary spirit warrior in order to break through to the Spirit Realm. Your physique is already on par with
a Spiritual Infant at the primary stage," Rocky explained.



"A Spiritual Infant at the primary stage? Really?" Maxwell knew plenty about the levels of the spirit
warrior, so he was aware that the primary stage of a Spiritual Infant was a point in which no ordinary
spirit warrior could get past.

"Why would I lie to you? Besides, this doesn't mean that you can just rest easy. You still have to
cultivate hard. After all, you don't have a solid foundation yet. And you have a lot of things to do to
reach the next level. But don't fret. I will give you some guidance," Rocky said with a smile.

"Thank you, Rocky." Maxwell smiled back.

After that, Rocky taught Maxwell the most basic cultivation method of the spirit warrior, and also gave
him some pills to replenish the spiritual power in his body.

The meridians and spiritual power at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant could not be completely
replenished overnight. Since Maxwell was a beginner, he had to gather them slowly using his
cultivation. None of it was intended to be a race.

After that was settled, Rocky sent Maxwell out of the Magic Spiritual Space and left him on his own.

Then he made his way back to the camp. As soon as he entered it, Kye approached him and said,
"You're here at the right time. Commander Wang just sent word that there is a mission and he's asked
us to come to his camp..."

"Okay." Rocky nodded and walked with Kye to Tucker's camp.

As they walked through the curtain of the camp, Rocky saw Tucker and a man who wore similar
clothes and had the same aura as Tucker. Apparently, he was also a commander.

"This is Commander Ling. He is stationed at the front line," Tucker said, pointing at Commander Ling.

"Commander Ling." Rocky and Kye cupped their hands and bowed.



"There is no need to be so courteous," Commander Ling said, waving his hand.

"Commander Ling and I are friends and he came here to ask for our help," Tucker told them, cutting
right to the chase.

"He needs our help?" The second they heard that, Rocky and Kye knew that a hard task was ahead of
them.

"Recently, the defense line of the western region that is stationed by Commander Ling has been
attacked by some spiritual beasts. Now the front line is in danger. These spiritual beasts have united
and don't intend on backing down. We think that they have been manipulated by the spiritual race.
Commander Ling's soldiers have tried relentlessly to solve this problem, but to no avail. So they came
to the Tiger Whisker Pass to discuss it with me. Basil, you seem to have lots of experience in fighting
spiritual beasts. Maybe you can help Commander Ling," Tucker explained, turning to face Rocky.
Suddenly, all their eyes were on him.

"Okay. I will try my best to help you!" he responded.

"Thank you, Basil. Could you please come with me? We happened to catch one of the spiritual beasts
two days ago. Maybe you can find some clues from it and figure out a solution for us," Commander
Ling said, cupping his hands.

"Sure," Rocky replied, nodding.

"But wait. Who will lead the team if Basil leaves?" Kye asked.

"You will. You are the acting captain in my absence," Rocky answered, looking back at him.

"Well..." Kye felt a little embarrassed even though he was supposed to be the team leader.



"Perfect. Kye, you will temporarily act as captain while Basil is gone," Tucker ordered at once.

"Yes, sir." Kye took the order.

After that, Rocky and Commander Ling climbed onto a flying beast and flew to the front line of the
western region.

The region was an important military base for the human army in the border war. If the front line were
lost, it would directly threaten the safety of the Tiger Whisker Pass and other passes. Now Rocky
understood why Tucker had been so willing to send him there to help.
