The Medallion Chapter 1804 In Vain

"Gloria won't warn Valeria. It seems that I will have to go to Valeria and Lilith myself." Since Rocky had
already finished his business here, he hurriedly left and disappeared.

First, Rocky went to see Lilith. As she was practicing her spiritual skills in her yard, he appeared to her
as Basil.

Upon seeing him, Lilith could not help but blush a little. "Basil, it's already too late. Why are you here?
Anything happened?"

"Why? Can't I come and visit if I don't have anything important to discuss with you?" Rocky asked with
a gentle smile.

"Um, do you want to go inside first?" Lilith asked in a shy tone.

"No. It won't be necessary. After all, I won't be here for long." Rocky shook his head as he refused.
Moreover, he also thought that it would be inappropriate for him to enter Lilith's residence this late in
the night.

"Okay then." Realizing what a gentleman Rocky was, Lilith looked up to him with an inexplicable
brilliance in her eyes.

"By the way, I just want to know. Why you gave up the fight earlier today?" Rocky asked out of
nowhere.

"Hmm, no reason really. I just don't want to fight against you," Lilith answered honestly. Besides, she
also knew that Rocky should be much stronger than her. Hence, she did not want to waste both their
time and hurt each other in the process.

"Really? That's it? Well, anyway, thank you for doing that."



"Ha-ha. There is no need for you to thank me. In fact, I already told you that I don't care much about
the result of the Spiritual Emperor Contest. If it were not for my father forcing me to participate, I would
not even want to be here. But of course, I really found the trails in the Holy Heaven Palace to be worth
it!" If there was any consolation for her participation in the contest, it was the experience and
attainments she acquired from the Holy Heaven Palace.

"I see. It is surprising that you have this kind of thinking at your age." Rocky actually appreciated Lilith's
attitude because she knew what really was important.

"When you say it like that, you sound like an old man," Lilith complained as she put her hands on her
waist.

Hearing this, Rocky smiled inwardly. After all, the experiences he had in his entire life were not actually
in line with his current age.

"Also, you did not come just to thank me, right? It's okay. You don't have to beat around the bush."
Obviously, Lilith was smart enough to comprehend that Rocky had something else to tell her if he had
to come and see her at this time.

"Yes. I am actually here to warn you to be extra careful in your next matches. They might not be very
merciful to you," Rocky reminded as neutral as he could sound.

"I see. Of course, I will. Thank you for your concern." As Lilith saw the serious expression on Rocky's
face, she knew that there must be a specific reason why he was warning her. But since he tried to
sound rather vaguely, she was sharp enough to assume that he could not freely tell the reason. So, she
decided not to pry anymore.

"That's all. I'll take my leave." Afterward, Rocky turned around and eventually left.

While looking at Rocky's back, Lilith was a bit lost in her own thoughts.



Then, soon enough, Rocky also appeared to Valeria but as Odin this time. He also told her the same
thing that he had told Lilith.

The following day, the battles commenced.

This time, Rocky's opponent was a high grade Spiritual Emperor from the Sovereign Pavilion named
Iker. He was a famous poison master in the Ethereal Region.

However, as they met inside the stage, Rocky could immediately tell from Iker's eyes that he had
enormous killing intent. Hence, he knew that this battle would not be as easy as the previous ones.
This time, he was facing a powerful premium-stage Spiritual Emperor who was ready to kill his
opponent.

At this point, Rocky had already won three consecutive matches. Since he was only supposed to be a
medium-grade Spiritual Emperor, many people saw his performances as quite abnormal. Therefore, in
this match, there were even more people in the crowd, curious to see if Rocky could really emerge as
the dark horse of the competition.

Soon enough, the gongs rang out, signaling the beginning of the battle. As expected, Iker immediately
launched a series of powerful attacks right from the start. He constantly unleashed his hidden weapons
that were stained with poison and threw them at Rocky.

The most frightening thing about Iker was not his poisonous hidden weapons but that his spiritual
power was also poisonous. Therefore, even if Rocky was fast enough to dodge the weapons hurled at
him, he also could not easily approach Iker because he would be poisoned by his spiritual power.
Moreover, Iker's poison was so potent that it could penetrate one's skin and enter the bloodstream.
Once that happened, it could instantly affect the circulation of one's spiritual power and weaken their
strength. Worst, his opponent could be poisoned to death in just a few moments.

Therefore, it would not be that easy for Rocky to make a move and deal with Iker.



Of course, with Rocky's current strength, he should be naturally immune to all kinds of poisons.
However, he could not expose his real strength in front of the crowd this early. So, for now, he could
only dodge Iker's weapons and spiritual power with all his might. He wanted to deceive the audience
and even Iker with his acting.

After quite some time, Iker was still doing his best to suppress Rocky through his hidden weapons. At
the same time, Rocky also pretended that he had been losing ground, unable to fight back anymore.

Seeing this disappointing scene, the onlookers started to shake their heads. They thought that this
must have been Rocky's limitation and real strength. They assumed that Rocky was just able to win the
previous rounds because of sheer luck. But now that he had encountered an opponent that he could
not even get near to, they all thought that he was doomed.

"Iker's fighting style is really troublesome for his opponents. He can completely suppress them just by
using his poisonous hidden weapons!"

"We must have been wrong all along. It seems that Basil is not that powerful!" "Well, he is just a
medium-grade Spiritual Emperor. He must have been just lucky to win three consecutive battles. After
all, it is impossible to easily defeat someone much stronger than him."

"One thing is clear. I think his streak will end this time!"

At this time, among the onlookers that were discussing with each other were the representatives from
various forces. These people had a better understanding of one's strength, so they were not just blindly
judging.

Of course, for Iker, he was also confident that he could defeat Rocky. Moreover, he was extra
determined because it was Holden's order to find an opportunity to kill Rocky. Even if he could not kill
Rocky, he could at least make him disabled for life.



For this reason, Iker had crafted and prepared a very unique kind of poison. The moment this poison
made contact with Rocky, it would penetrate his meridians and destroy them in less than ten minutes.
Consequently, his spiritual power would be lost, making him unable to become a warrior anymore.

Most importantly, Iker made sure that there was no antidote for this poison. Therefore, the moment
Rocky was poisoned, his victory was already sealed and his mission was completed.

However, the materials used to make this rare poison were also scarce. Hence, Iker only had one
chance to use it.

But it seemed that he would have no problem finding the opportunity to use the poison. Under his
aggressive attacks, Rocky seemed to be getting weaker and weaker by the moment.

Deeming that it was already the perfect chance, Iker immediately shot out the sharp hidden weapon,
which was stained by the rare poison, to corrode Rocky's meridians.

The next moment, Rocky let out a scream while putting his hand on his shoulder. Afterward, he knelt on
the ground as if he was actually hit by the poisonous hidden weapon.

Upon seeing this, the spectators instantly knew that the fight was done.

At the same time, Iker also sneered and was very pleased. After all, he did not realize that it was just a
part of Rocky's convincing act. Not knowing that he was already caught in a trap, Iker immediately flew
towards Rocky. Then, he raised his palm in the air, instantly manipulating a poisonous palm shadow to
rush towards Rocky.

At this moment, Rocky was still kneeling on the ground, looking very weak and powerless. From the
audience's eyes, he was in a life-threatening position.



However, just as the poisonous palm shadow was about to reach Rocky, his figure suddenly flickered
and vanished from where he was kneeling. The speed he exhibited was so fast that both Iker and the
crowd were caught off guard.

Before Iker could react, Rocky had already appeared in front of him. Then, Rocky put his fingers before
Iker's face, showing that the poisonous hidden weapon that he had thrown earlier was actually
sandwiched between them. Furthermore, it was wrapped by a stream of spiritual power. Hence, it did
not make contact with Rocky at all.

"You tricked me! You were not poisoned!" It was not until then that Iker discovered what Rocky really
did. He was just acting all this time that he was hurt by the poisonous hidden weapon.

Realizing this, Iker wanted to get far from Rocky as quickly as possible. However, his face turned
ghastly pale when he noticed that his body was not obeying his command and that it was so hard for
him to move. At this point, Rocky's overbearing spiritual power suppressed him.

Iker was so confused because he thought that Rocky's strength should not be that strong. Of course,
even though he wanted to figure out the reason why, it would already be meaningless.
