The Medallion novel Chapter 1527

However, it didn't matter if he was the dark horse or not. What mattered was if he would make it to the finals of the competition, and in order to do so, he needed to win this last round.

In everyone's eyes, the chances of Rocky winning in the last round were very small, since his opponent was the famous Carla from the Sky-suppressing Sect, who was quite powerful.

There were many rumors about just how strong Carla was. She had, at the very least, a Spiritual Infant at the medium stage, second only to Moore. Therefore, unless Rocky was as strong as Moore, there was no way he'd defeat her.

Moreover, Carla had been regarded as a talented spirit warrior ever since she was a child. The Yu Clan had invested their time and resources on her, and as a result, she had learned the best and most secret skills of the clan. Rocky's chances of winning were extremely slim.

Even before the third round of the competition started, everyone knew Rocky was going to lose.

However, to everyone's surprise, at the beginning of the competition, there was a sudden news that due to the consecutive days of the competition, Carla's injury in the second round melee was aggravated, and she had to quit in the last round.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the Sky-suppressing School. No one had expected that Carla would suddenly give up, especially when she was sure to win.

However, people were more disappointed with Rocky's sheer luck. Without even having to face Carla, he managed to make it to the final rung of the competition, officially earning the title of dark horse. For decades, no disciples with a Spiritual Infant at the primary stage in the Sky-suppressing School could take part in the final battle. And yet, Rocky managed to break the record, hardly even lifting a finger to do so.

Rocky, on the other hand, was not surprised when he heard the news. He figured Carla was doing it as a way of saying thank you for Rocky's help in saving her in the previous round.

Because Carla withdrew from the competition, the third round of the battle between Carla and Rocky ended before it even began. The competition of the other group began in advance.

Because Rocky's spot in the final battle was secured, Eunice's fighting spirit was aroused. If Rocky, who was her follower, managed to enter the final battle, then so could she!

However, to her surprise, her opponent in the second round was Moore himself. How could she be so unlucky?

Then again, that was going to happen sooner or later. Despite giving it her all, Moore still defeated her in one move, simply because she wasn't as powerful as him. Unfortunately, her failure eliminated her from the competition.

Moore, being the most powerful disciple in the competition, pretty much breezed his way to the final round.

Thus, the final round was between Rocky and Moore.

However, there was no excitement over the final result. Everyone believed that Moore was going to win.

On the eve of the final battle, Rocky, who just returned to the disciple dormitory from outside, saw Eunice waiting for him in the yard.
