The Medallion

Chapter 83 Rocky's Strange Strength

A war beast rushed to him quickly as soon as Rocky stepped into his chamber. He hadn't come back here for about two months.

"You're here!" Rocky looked happily at Uriah. He held him close and gently patted Uriah's head. He took him into the chamber.

"Look around! It's your new home now! You can sleep wherever you like," Rocky said to Uriah, showing him the room.

Uriah roared excitedly, as if in agreement. It ran toward the queen-size bed in the center of the chamber and leaped onto it at once.

"Goodness, you're enjoying yourself very much!" Rocky smiled at Uriah. He turned around and told maids to put down the emperor's rewards that they were still holding.

They followed his instructions and left the chamber after deeply bowing. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Finally, I've come back! I have really learned a lot during these two months," Rocky said with a smile. He was understandably extremely proud of his success.

"Little boy, you're proud of your success?" a charming voice said from inside the room.

Rocky looked around the chamber in surprise. He had thought they were alone. A charming figure appeared beside him like a ghost. She looked at him with a proud expression on her beautiful face.

"The beautiful general?" Rocky frowned in surprise. It was Marcia standing next to him.

Yesterday, Marcia had left quite early after she had treated Rocky. But she was still concerned about him. She had returned to her own palace to see him, only then finding out that he had gone to the

Grand Holy Hall. When she arrived at the Grand Holy Hall, she found out that he had been reinstated as a prince again. She had been waiting for Rocky in his chamber ever since.

"I am eternally grateful for your help!" Rocky said earnestly. He truly appreciated what she had done for him in the past day.

"It was nothing. Your life belongs to me. If others kill you easily, it will bring shame to me," Marcia grunted.

"It seems that my life isn't as important as your face," Rocky said with a forced smile as he shook his head.

"Your wounds have healed?" She said, changing the subject. She looked at the affected areas of his body.

Rocky nodded in affirmation.

"Give me..." Marcia stretched out her hand.

"What?" Rocky was in a state of shock.

"Don't play stupid! I gave you half a bottle of that miracle liquid you gave me before to save your life. You owe me for your life. You must repay me with at least a bottle of miracle liquid," Marcia said bluntly. She was exceptionally shrewd.

"You came here just for a bottle of miracle liquid?" Rocky groaned, rubbing his temples.

Marcia pointed to Rocky and stared at him meaningfully, as if to say that she would beat him mercilessly if he didn't agree to give her a bottle of miracle liquid.

"Don't worry! I will give you some," Rocky sighed as he took out a bottle of magical saliva from his silk bag and handed it to Marcia.

She carefully tucked it into the folds of her robes.

"When I treated you yesterday, I also detected your dragon spiritual power. It is very peculiar indeed," Marcia suddenly said, pursing her lips.

"Why is it strange?" Rocky asked, quite curious.

"Before the Dragon Birth Festival, you have reached the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage?" Marcia asked, ignoring his question.

Rocky nodded obediently.

"I know that you can hide your strength at the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage. But on the Dragon Birth Festival, I couldn't even detect that you had already reached the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage. If you can cheat others, it may be possible. But I can't see your real strength, either, which means that your dragon spiritual power is very strange," Marcia said in a serious tone.

"Are you sure?" Rocky also felt rather strange. Whatever level he had reached, he still looked and felt quite weak.

"It seems that you don't know the reason, either. Though it's impossible for me to make a conclusion at the moment, I think that it must be related to the Holy Dragon Bead." They were both at a loss for the mysterious forces behind Rocky's great power.

"That's because..." All of a sudden, Rocky had remembered the feelings when he had made a breakthrough to the Earthly Stage after he heard Marcia's words. When it happened, he had felt that he was able to remold himself thoroughly and became a new man.

"What?" Marcia asked inquisitively.

"That is because my dragon spiritual power is so shy that nobody can see it," Rocky said with a lopsided grin. Marcia couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Besides that, the spiritual flame of your dragon spiritual power seems to have several kinds of colors. I have never seen it before. Does it always have more than one?" Marcia asked.

"More than one color?" Rocky's expression changed quickly. He had never been able to pinpoint its color, but now finding out that there was more than one was even more confusing. However, he still nodded and said, "That's right! Is it strange?"

"Oh, your dragon spiritual power is so strange. It doesn't have a set nature and we can't see your real status. You just look like an ordinary man, instead of a spirit manipulator of the Earthly Stage." Even if Marcia had known Rocky's strength before, she only detected a little dragon spiritual power of the Earthly Stage in his meridians. As long as Rocky didn't release his strength of the Earthly Stage, nobody could know his real strength.

"Oh, so you're showering me with praises now?" Rocky smiled happily.

"Humph, don't be arrogant! You've just only reached the Earthly Stage and still have a long way to go. Cultivate the Vast Nebula Skill carefully. By the way, don't let others know that I have been here. Do you understand? Otherwise, you will..." Marcia stared at Rocky with a steely expression before promptly disappearing like a gust of wind.

"It seems that the beautiful general really likes threatening others." Rocky shuddered as though he were cold.

"Basil, who are you speaking to?" Lena asked, coming into the chamber.

Rocky turned around, shaking his head. With a smile on his face, he explained, "Uriah has occupied my bed. I am giving it a lecture now."

"You are so mean. Let Uriah sleep there in peace!" Lena looked at Uriah, grinning with joy to see the beast snoring contentedly.

"But I don't have a bed to sleep now. Can I sleep in yours?" Rocky quipped.

Lena rolled her eyes, not replying. She did not want to jeopardize their friendship, after all.

"Basil, I have heard that there will be a lantern show of the Dragon Birth Festival in the Imperial City. Do you want to go with me to see it?" Lena asked brightly, a smile on her lips. But there was a trace of bitter sadness in her eyes.

"All right! But isn't it difficult to get out of the Palace City?" he asked, knowing this fact from experience.
