The Medallion novel Chapter 1755

"Hey! Maybe there's still hope! Don't give up!" Valeria swiftly encouraged Rocky who stood next to her. If he couldn't qualify for the third round, then they would lose the advantage of competing with the other Godly Geniuses.

On the other hand, Holden took pleasure in Rocky's misfortune when he saw that the latter was likely going to lose this round of the competition.

"Humph! I thought this guy was supposed to be special. Yet he turns out to be just another mediocre man. Let's see if he can still manage to hold his head high on his shoulders once he loses this round!" he snorted.

Hall Leader Chen, who Rocky had offended during an earlier encounter, was gloating alongside Holden.

"He's hopeless! But this is no surprise," Michelle, who had been paying close attention to Rocky, sneered at him as well once she saw that there was no hope in him proceeding to the next round.

At that moment, the elder of the Di Clan announced, "The No. 99 participant is ranked as the 48th."

"It's him! The one whose soul potential was proven to be at the middle grade of the Heaven Stage! His ranking is higher than that of Barron who is from the spiritual race..." someone pointed out and explained immediately.

Meanwhile, Valeria's and Gloria's eyes widened in surprise as well. Of course, the Spiritual Emperors from the human race including Michelle and Holden were shocked as well.

The audience was now in an uproar. No one expected Rocky to rank higher than Barron, a low-grade Spiritual Emperor of the spiritual race who was second only to Michelle and Seth.

"Damn it! How is that possible? His ranking is exceptionally high!" Holden cursed and immediately lost his temper.

Hall Leader Chen was disheartened by the news too.

On the other hand, Michelle's face clearly showed that she was feeling mixed emotions right now despite not saying anything. Rocky's result took her by surprise.

"You've reached such a high ranking!" Valeria exclaimed as she gave Rocky beside her a faint smile, hinting that she was delighted by his result.

"I'm quite lucky," he replied coolly.

"Great! I knew this would happen!" Carla, who was standing by Eunice, commented thoughtfully. She knew from the first moment she laid eyes on Rocky that he was special and that he would undoubtedly provide unexpectedly magnificent performances.

Gloria, who was paying attention to the rankings too, had a meaningful look in her eyes upon hearing the news.

To nobody's surprise, Michelle and Seth occupied the following two rankings.

The rankings of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors and the high-grade Spiritual Emperors were soon announced.

"The third round will be held after the challenge competition. I hope that all the candidates who will enter the third round will have a good rest and stock up on their energy. You all will need it..." the elder of the Di Clan added after he announced all the rankings before he turned around and left.

The Spiritual Emperors and the onlookers on the square immediately dispersed.

Already, several of them shifted unwelcoming gazes towards Rocky from afar.

The following day, the challenge competition that was temporarily set up officially began.

The reason for this competition was that there were still numerous powerful Spiritual Emperors who didn't have the chance to participate in the Spiritual Emperor Contest. Hence this competition was specially arranged, to fairly determine who would move to the next round.
