The Medallion novel Chapter 1440

"Oh? Is that so? I personally tested him before and seen with my own eyes that he was just an ordinary cultivator. It seems that we are being deceived by him all this time," Harrison said as he wore a serious expression.

"Then, what are you going to do about it?" Hannah asked in a cautious tone.

"The timing is not right. If we do something to him right now, we will have to completely stop the entire competition for the qualification. It will not be fair for the other disciples and we will certainly receive a lot of criticisms. So, I guess we can only deal with this matter once the competition is over," Harrison declared after thinking for a while.

"Well, I think so too…" Hannah nodded and agreed with Harrison's decision.

The strength of a seventh grade Spirit Realm warrior was somewhat equivalent to that of an Immortal Stage warrior. Thus, when warriors at this level clashed and fought with all of their strength, the area would surely be filled with overwhelming spiritual power and dazzling lights. At the same time, the fourteen disciples of the Sword Spirit City at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm unleashed their fullest potential in order to win their respective matches.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had already passed. Eventually, winners prevailed one after another.

About another two hours later, with the sudden announcement of Tessa's defeat in her battle, the eight disciples who were able to overcome their opponents were finally declared, and obviously, Rocky was one of them.

Moreover, the other seven winners, including Xavier, were all included in the list of the top ten disciples of the Sword Spirit City. It meant that every participant for the final round was very powerful and couldn't be underestimated.

With Rocky in the list of the qualifiers for the final round, the people had a consensus that he had no chance to win a single match in the next round.

Besides, no one really expected that he would be able to enter the final round in the first place. After all, he was just a newcomer who had only been in the city for less than three months. For many, it was just his beginner's luck that pushed him this far.

Since the final round would still be held the day after, as soon as the names of the winners were announced, the competition area was quickly emptied and everyone took the opportunity to take a rest.

At the same time, Rocky tried to avoid extra attention, so he walked fast and attempted to leave the area without being seen. However, he was easily caught by Tessa.

"Are you trying to desperately sneak out of this place? Don't you have anything to explain to me?" Tessa asked as her hands rested on her hips. Rocky might have stealthily covered up his real strength before, but after what he had shown in his previous match, Tessa would be an idiot if she still believed that it was just out of sheer luck.

"Do I?" Rocky answered with a question as he averted his gaze. It was pretty obvious that he was still pretending to be someone he was not.

"I've seen it with my two eyes! Stop pretending already!" Tessa's beautiful eyes widened in anger and she actually wished to tweak Rocky's ear to teach him a good lesson.

"Okay. Okay. I admit that I did conceal my real strength…" Rocky said. At this point, he knew that there was no reason to hide it anymore.

"I thought so. You should also be at least at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm. Am I right?" Tessa asked.

"Well, sort of. I guess," Rocky said in an unconvinced tone.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Tessa furrowed her brows and was not satisfied with his indirect answer.

"Because in my hometown, the classification of a warrior's strength is different from what you have here. That's why I can't be too sure," Rocky explained briefly.

"Different? Where exactly are you from then?" Tessa couldn't help but ask. She was more curious about this man than ever.

"I can tell you, but I'm sure that you have never heard of it," Rocky said indifferently as if he was still trying to cover his identity.

The people around the ring, where Rocky and Omar Xu were about to battle it out, were discussing their matchup intensely. Obviously, they had no qualms that Omar Xu would win this round. After all, they had already seen how powerful he had been throughout his career as a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect.

Although Rocky had shown promising strength in the previous round, no one was really sure what he could prove. Even if one should assume that he was also at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm, it was hard to say how he could stand his ground against Omar Xu. As a senior disciple in the Sword Spirit City, Omar Xu was more than thirty years old and had reached the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm five years ago. Therefore, whether it was experience or strength, he was surely better than most seventh-grade disciples of the same realm.

"I would appreciate learning from you, Omar!" Rocky greeted politely as he cupped his hands towards Omar Xu.

"I've seen your performance in the previous round, and I would say that your style is a little strange. However, since you prevailed, I know that your strength can actually match with warriors at the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm. It's just not your lucky day that you have to be paired against me. After all, I'm far more experienced than you. Oh well, just as you said, learn from this battle, and maybe you can go further the next time you try," Omar Xu said confidently.

"You flatter me. I know I'm just a newcomer, so please show some mercy." Rocky smiled calmly as he tried to lighten up the mood.

"Unfortunately, I can't show you any mercy. But rest assured, I'll try not to hurt you badly. Once I unleashed my fast swordsmanship, I will never stop at will, unless you admit defeat!" Omar Xu declared fiercely.

"All right then. Let me see what you've got!" Rocky said as he positioned himself, stretching out his hand.

Omar Xu acknowledged the young man's bravery by nodding slightly. The next moment, the Lightning Sword behind him was unsheathed in a flash and flew in the air. Then, it turned into a sword shadow that bolted out at lightning speed and appeared in front of Rocky in an instant. Although there was a distance of more than ten meters between the two of them, it covered the said distance in a second.

The moment Omar Xu displayed his fast swordsmanship, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

'I must admit that it's really fast.' Rocky's eyes narrowed as he experienced Omar Xu's fast swordsmanship firsthand. However, no matter how fast his spiritual sword was, before Rocky's eyes, it was no different from the speed of an ordinary spiritual sword. Therefore, Rocky didn't even take a step back but just slightly tilted his body to the left. At that very moment, the spiritual sword brushed past his right shoulder without hurting him.
