The Medallion novel Chapter 1420

"Well, my father would certainly claim so. Ugh, this is really annoying. What about the final result?" Tessa couldn't help but pout as she asked.

"What do you think?" Hannah responded with a meaningful smile.

"I know that you are very eloquent, so I really hope that you have convinced my father," Tessa said with an expectant gaze from her gleeful eyes.

"Ha-ha! Of course, I did. However, he still insists that you participate in the competition for the qualification. And it is a must that you land the top eight position at the least," Hannah replied.

"Top eight? That should be a piece of cake then! Moreover, I think this will also be a good chance to practice my skills," Tessa remarked with a bright smile on her delicate face.

"Oh, one more note. You are not allowed to bring Nightshade in this competition. After all, spiritual beasts are rare, so it would be unfair to the other participants if you did so," Hannah added.

"Well, I don't intend on bringing it anyway. Nightshade still needs more rest," Tessa replied. In fact, she didn't think that it would put her at a disadvantage if she didn't use Nightshade in the competition. She was confident enough to win it with her own strength.

"I'm glad to hear that. So, I think that's all for today. I should take my leave now," Hannah said after a while.

"All right. Come on, let me walk you out," Tessa quickly offered.

"That would be unnecessary. Besides, if Nightshade is almost healed, you shouldn't let anyone outsider enter the Fragrance Pavilion. Otherwise, we don't know what might suddenly happen," Hannah remarked as she cast a subtle glance at Rocky.

"Oh, yeah. You're right..." Tessa just nodded slightly, knowing immediately what Hannah actually meant.

Soon enough, Hannah left the Fragrance Pavilion.

"It seems that she doesn't like me that much. I even thought that she was nice to me the first time we met," Rocky blurted out. Judging from Hannah's attitude just now, he had a bit of a different opinion of her. The first time he encountered her, he thought that she was a kind-hearted woman, but now it seemed that it was only on the surface. There was something that told Rocky that she was pretty scheming.

"Well, she is indeed nice if you get to know her more. Probably since you're an outsider, she is just a bit wary of you. And I have a good hunch that Ramon spoke ill of you in front of her," Tessa said with a mischievous smile.

"I would also assume." Then, Rocky changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I heard the two of you talking about the Martial Spirit Graveyard. What is that place? It sounds very interesting."

"Oh, that? It's one of the forbidden areas that are being guarded by the Sword Spirit Sect. It is said that a long time ago, that place used to be a battlefield where the human race, the spiritual race, and the Shura Race on the Supreme Ether Land fought each other. However, due to an unexpected natural disaster, they were all killed in one swoop. But after these super masters died, they didn't completely vanish. Instead, they were transformed into martial spirits and wandered in that place. Our ancestor happened to discover the area and established the Sword Spirit Sect based on it," Tessa explained as she told the brief history of the Martial Spirit Graveyard and its connection to the foundation of the Sword Spirit Sect.

"So, if you enter that place, what can you gain from it?" Rocky asked out of curiosity.

"That place is very important if you want to achieve greater heights in terms of your cultivation. If one can find and refine a martial spirit there, he can directly break through to the King Realm, provided that he is already at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm. Moreover, if he is already at the King Realm, then he can directly cultivate and brew the Spiritual Infant, which would make his cultivation much easier in the future. That's why the place is highly regarded, and no one could just enter it whenever they want," Tessa remarked.

"Wow! That place is really awesome! But how can we go there if it's not open for anyone?" Rocky inquired again.

"Every year, the leader and the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect will discuss and eventually recommend a group of warriors at the King Realm who are qualified to enter there. Additionally, they will hold a competition for the disciples at the Spirit Realm. The one who will win first place will also be granted permission to be there," Tessa elaborated.

"Hmm. So is there no way for me to go there?" Rocky asked in a gloomy tone.

"You? I'm afraid you won't be allowed. You're not even a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect, to begin with. Also, if you want to participate in the competition, you must be at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm. It's not that easy to get inside that place," Tessa answered as she shook her head.

"I see. Then, how can I become a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect?" Rocky asked with a straight face.

"Well, the Sword Spirit Sect recruits new disciples every year. Are you interested in joining the sect?" Tessa replied as she saw the serious look on Rocky's face.

"I've actually dreamed of becoming a peerless master since I was a child. However, since I came from the countryside, I didn't have any chance. Now that I got the opportunity to be in the city, I would consider myself very lucky if I can join the Sword Spirit Sect," Rocky replied with a determined expression.

"I see. The timing wasn't just right. The recruitment of new disciples for this year has just ended. I'm afraid that you will have to wait until next year again." Tessa broke the news in a soft voice.

"Really? Oh, man! I'm so unlucky!" Rocky couldn't help but exclaim as he let out a frown.

As Tessa observed Rocky's reaction, she really saw his desire to join, so she wanted to confirm again. "Do you really want to be a part of the Sword Spirit Sect that much?" she asked in a serious tone.
