The Medallion novel Chapter 1775

As soon as Holden, Michelle, Hall Leader Chen, and the two middle-grade Spiritual Emperors saw that Rocky had parted ways with the three girls to act alone, they could not help but exchange meaningful glances. It seemed that every one of them thought that it was such a good opportunity to take action.

"Miss Michelle, let me go and tail that guy. You and Young Master Holden should stay together," Hall Leader Chen offered and volunteered. Seeing that no one disagreed, he quickly followed Rocky and made sure that he would not be noticed.

At the same time, Michelle and the rest took the path that Carla and the two other girls had chosen.

Before long, several candidates had also arrived on the island and had chosen random paths into the forest.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, Rocky stopped briefly.

He noticed that the path became broader all of a sudden. It seemed that he was already inside a spacious area.

Moreover, the area was full of strange upright pillars that were arranged in a regular crisscross pattern.

Then, upon closer inspection, Rocky found a few middle-grade Spiritual Emperors there. They were standing before the stone pillars, looking very helpless and dejected. It seemed that they had somehow reached a stumbling block that hindered them from moving on.

'Hmm. They should have come here from the other paths. So, these trail paths were interconnected after all, ' Rocky thought to himself after some careful observations.

The nine trial paths in the Spiritual Divine Land interweaved in a very complicated way. Some of the paths were connected with each other, so the participants would eventually meet other contestants along the way.

At this moment, one of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors tried to pass through the stone pillars again.

However, as soon as he stepped on one of the stone pillars, it reacted as if it had a life on its own. Then, all these pillars instantly formed a stone wall, forcing the Spiritual Emperor to retreat backward. It seemed that many candidates were stuck here because they could not get past the array that was created by the stone pillars.

Although the middle-grade Spiritual Emperor exerted all his strength, he was still unable to get past the stone array.

"What the hell is with these stone pillars? They are so hard that no amount of strength can break them!"

"This is absurd! There is no use attacking the stone pillars. How do we even proceed?"

"Then, why don't we go back the way we came? Maybe this really is a dead end. Let's try other ways!"

"I agree! We can't waste our time here anymore!"

Most of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors had already agreed and were about to go back.

However, at this moment, Rocky suddenly approached the stone array and examined it closely.

"Hey, look! It's that guy! Is he trying to get past the stone pillars?"

"He's just a low-grade Spiritual Emperor. If we can't break through it, then neither can he."

"Yeah. He's just trying to show off. I bet he will also fail miserably!"

Although the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors recognized Rocky as one of the outstanding low-grade Spiritual Emperors, they believed that it would be impossible for him to go over the stone pillars. However, the very next moment, Rocky activated the Earth-diving Skill and instantly shuttled through the huge stone pillars. Since the skill enabled him to travel beneath the ground, the stone pillars were unable to hinder his advancement.

At the sight of this scene, the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors, who were belittling Rocky earlier, were silenced and flabbergasted. They never anticipated that Rocky would be able to use such a unique skill that could effortlessly let him bypass the stone pillars.

But since they did not have any skill that had the same effect, most of the middle-grade Spiritual Emperors gave up on overcoming the stone array and decided to find a different path. Only three were left who continued trying to break the array.

At the same time, Hall Leader Chen, who had been following Rocky all this time, had also arrived in front of the stone pillars. However, Rocky had already gotten past them, while he was immediately blocked off. His mission became a failure, and he had no other choice but to watch Rocky leave before his eyes.

About two hours later, Rocky accomplished two more challenges, which were not that difficult for him. Therefore, at this point, he was actually far ahead compared to most of the participants.
