The Medallion novel Chapter 23

"Maybe we have made a mistake," some of them said in confusion, scratching their heads at the disappearance of the trace of Rocky's dragon spiritual power.

Bear was surprised to see Rocky knock back the man with a crew-cut, but he still refused to believe that Rocky could have reached the first grade of Mortal Stage. He still saw Rocky as a loser.

"Go! You can hit him harder," Bear said to his other follower, a stout man who had a round face.

The man walked towards Rocky as he was eager to kick Rocky's ass.

The other men murmured among themselves about how hard Rocky would be wounded, because this trainee was at the second grade of Mortal Stage. It was possible that he ranked eighth or even higher among the thirty young men. Rocky would not be as lucky as just now.

'You have mistaken the sleeping tiger for a cat!' Rocky thought as he saw Bear send a man at the second grade of Mortal Stage to fight with him. He could tell his power was a pretty good match to this second adversary. Though he did not want to cause trouble, they would not just leave him alone.

Rocky looked into his eyes, emitting a sharp aura.

He had enhanced his power a lot in the past ten days. He was also more and more skillful at the control of the Dragon Spirit Mark. His previous rapid punch was a testament to this. So he was pretty confident that he could handle this one.

The second man was now close to Rocky. Suddenly, he rushed quickly towards Rocky and reached him in a flash.

'So fast!' Rocky instantly stepped back. The man kicked twice in the air ferociously. In the twinkling light, the dragon spiritual power turned into a wind which rushed towards Rocky like two sharp knives.

Apparently, compared with the trainee who had a crew-cut, this one had mastered the Dragon Spirit Mark much more adeptly. Moreover, he was faster than Rocky because he had the dragon spiritual power of Wind nature.

The man with a round face gained the upper hand in this fight and he suppressed Rocky at once.

Though Rocky swiftly dodged the two kicks, the next moment his right shoulder was almost hit by a formidable punch. He could not withstand the power of the intense attack and stepped back again.

The nature of their dragon spiritual power became the determining factor in this fight as they were at the same grade. Since the nature of Rocky's dragon spiritual power was not shown yet, it was an uphill battle for him.

While Rocky was knocked back again, his opponent launched another sharp wind punch that was so fast and powerful. It made a loud whoosh.

Everyone thought that Rocky would be knocked down by this one.

Realizing he had no time to dodge this attack, Rocky immediately released the dragon spiritual power in the Dragon Spirit Mark. He crossed his hands before his face as the Dragon Spirit Mark emitted multicolored light. In the next moment, the wind punch hit right on the Dragon Spirit Mark on Rocky's arms. The spiritual power suddenly devoured by the light emitted from Rocky's Dragon Spirit Mark.

In a blink of an eye, the wind punch was totally drained of its power.

"What! He blocked the attack!" the other men exclaimed in surprise. No one had expected that he could block that ferocious punch.

Even Rocky himself found it odd that he could block this attack so easily. It reminded him of what had happened the day he saved Uriah from the fire, but he did not notice it as he was hurrying to save his war beast. He suddenly felt that the dragon spiritual power inside his body had increased a little.

"Is there anything special in my dragon spiritual power? Is it related to the Holy Dragon Bead?" Rocky abruptly smiled at the dumbfounded man in front of him as he released the dragon spiritual power in the Dragon Spirit Mark again. He shouted loudly, "Let me show you my power!"

Rocky released the power to show his strength at the second grade of Mortal Stage. The spiritual power turned into a twinkling fist shadow and rushed towards the face of his foe. With a loud pop, two bloody teeth flew out of the stout man's mouth as he was knocked unconscious.
