The Medallion novel Chapter 1525

For the next competition, the disciples were then divided into two groups of eight. The finalists would be determined from the two groups.

Of course, it went without saying that the newcomer disciples who had made it thus far were undoubtedly powerful. It was believed that Moore would win the championship, though Carla also had a fighting chance. After all, the two of them were the strongest throughout the newcomer contest. They weren't in the same group, which meant it was likely they would be the ones facing each other in the final battle.

However, there was also talk of a dark horse among the top sixteen disciples. Eunice was the candidate, since she was one of two new disciples who had made it to the last rung of the competition. She managed to stand out even though she was new; anyone could see that she was extremely talented.

The other new disciple was Rocky.

Although Rocky had a very remarkable performance in the second round, especially when he defeated three disciples at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant like Hayden. The matter was not known to many people in the Sky-suppressing School, because Hayden had already sent people to seal off the news from the public. And the masters of the school didn't spread the news and just pretended that the matter didn't happen, due to the suppression from the force of the Summer Palace. As a result, almost no one knew how strong Rocky was. In their opinion, it was pure luck for him to become one of the top sixteen disciples, and he would soon be eliminated in the following competition.

The two groups of disciples were to fight one-on-one battles. Rocky's group went first.

Inside the competition area, four arenas of the same size were lined up one by one. Outside the arenas, a sea of people had gathered to watch how the competition would unfold.

The four battles in the first round of the competition would be held simultaneously. The determined winners from those battles would then move on to the next round of the competition in the afternoon. From there, the finalists would participate in the last battle.

Therefore, each round was incredibly important to the sixteen disciples. They could afford no moment of carelessness, and would have to fight to the best of their abilities with each round if they wanted to make it to the final battle.

Just then, the eight disciples from the first group were preparing for the first round.

Unfortunately for Rocky, his opponent was a disciple with Spiritual Infant at the medium stage. He was one of the only two disciples at that level besides Moore and Carla.

"No wonder Eunice asked me to not take this fight so seriously," Rocky said with a smile, eyeing his unexpectedly powerful opponent. "She didn't think I had a chance!"

Rocky's opponent, the disciple in yellow, also stared at him, but his eyes were hostile, as though he hated Rocky from the depths of his being.

Rocky, noticing his opponent's death glare, immediately figured out what that meant: the disciple in yellow was working for Hayden.

Just as Rocky had guessed, Hayden watched the two from his seat in the audience, smiling sinisterly. Squinting at Rocky's figure, he sneered, "Finally, that brat will get what he deserves!"

Half an hour later, the four battles in the first round of the competition began.

The eight disciples, including Rocky, all entered their respective arenas, preparing to fight against their opponents.

Rocky faced the disciple in yellow and bowed slightly.
