The Medallion novel Chapter 1752

"No. It was not canceled. They just need to double-check it," Rocky immediately corrected.

"Ha-ha! Are you just trying to comfort yourself? You'd better expect the worse already. Otherwise, if you found out that you cannot make it to the next round, you will just be more disappointed," Gloria teased, trying to get Rocky's spirit down.

"Why does it sound like you don't want me to advance to the next round?"

"Of course! After all, you might be one of the biggest obstacles that I have to face in this contest if I want to win," Gloria replied with all honesty.

She knew how powerful Rocky was, and she assumed that he would be an even greater threat than Israel in the latter part of the tournament. After he exhibited such high potential in the Imperial Soul's potential test, it only proved how frightening he was. Although they said that it needed to be double-checked, she thought that it was not just a coincidence. Hence, if there was a chance that Rocky would drop out now, she would be more at ease.

"Ha-ha! So, you're saying that you are afraid of me?"

"Do not be mistaken. Of course, I am not afraid of you. What I am afraid of is that I might become hesitant if I have to face you in the final round. Can you see what you did to me? You should actually take responsibility for it," Gloria said with a wink, immediately leaning close to Rocky to cling unto him.

However, right at this moment, the door of the room suddenly flew wide open. Then, Valeria rushed in and happened to see the intimate moment between Rocky and Gloria.

"W-what are you two doing?" Valeria stammered so hard and could not help but have some inappropriate thoughts in her mind.

"Don't you know how to knock? You disturbed us!" Gloria was so annoyed that her moment with Rocky was interrupted.

"I'm sorry. I thought Odin was the only one here…" Valeria said embarrassedly, not able to look them in the eye. She was actually in a hurry to find Rocky after she heard that his performance at the Imperial Soul potential test was canceled. She wanted to comfort him because she thought that he would not be able to participate in the contest anymore.

"Oh, you are here for me? Come on. Let's talk outside." Rocky immediately took the chance to pull himself away from Gloria. Then, he quickly got out of the room.

Seeing this, Valeria also followed him right away.

"Humph! What does he think of me? Am I just an annoying fly? How dare he avoid me deliberately?" Gloria complained nonstop after Rocky and Valeria got out of the room.

"I am really sorry. Did I interrupt something just now?" Valeria was still fidgeting in awkwardness as she asked Rocky about what just happened when she entered the room earlier.

"Hey, what exactly are you thinking about? My assistant is just a little weird and clingy at most times," Rocky immediately tried to clear up the misunderstanding because he could guess what was running on her mind.

"Humph! You're so dense. I think it's more than that. He definitely has some special feelings for you!" Valeria could not take it anymore and voiced out her speculation.

"Well, unfortunately for him, I am not into guys! So, he should learn to respect some boundaries," Rocky replied with hints of irritation in his voice.

"I see…" Valeria was actually relieved upon knowing that Rocky was not into some shady hobbies.

"By the way, why do you want to see me?" Rocky asked, remembering that she was in a hurry when she got into the room.

"Hmm, nothing serious. I just heard that something went wrong with your performance in the Imperial Soul potential test. So, I came to ask what happened."

"Oh, that? Well, they are actually double-checking it right now." Then, Rocky continued, "If I am not mistaken, you must have controlled your potential to show at the premium grade of Earth Stage, right?"

"Yes, that's right. I really tried my best to control it, but the result still showed that I am at the primary grade of Heaven Stage."
