The Medallion novel Chapter 75

It would be quite impossible for Rocky who was at the first grade of the Earthly Stage to successfully take a hit from someone who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Everyone who saw what happened was thinking that Rocky had bitten more than he could swallow

despite his admirable courage.

Lena grew worried as she saw Rocky take a hit to protect Mia who had been wounded.

The emperor who had always been calm and steady was a little bit unsettled. Rocky was becoming a national treasure to the entire Holy Dragon Empire. If he was somehow hurt or worse, if he died in an ordinary competition, it would be a tragic and tremendous loss for his country.

Alston looked as if he was in grief and was deeply concerned while he wished from the bottom of his heart that Rocky buried himself over this and got killed by Erica, which would be one less obstacle for his desire to get the throne.

Just as everyone was worried about Rocky, he was also embarking on a dangerous stage as he was taking a continuous beating from his opponent who was at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage. Although he had unleashed his dragon spiritual power to absorb the spiritual power from her move, the opponent was still too overwhelming for him. Even if he managed to absorb all of its power, it would overload his own body causing it to explode from within.

"Basil, you need to step out of the way......" Mia had never thought that Rocky who she had been giving a hard time by providing extra workload during his training would step up and take the hit that was meant for her. At that moment, Mia knew that Rocky could no longer withstand the beating given his current strength and he might even get himself killed. Seeing that he was still tightly holding on, Mia could not help but shout at him in panic in hopes that he would stand down. Meanwhile she felt warm inside as she was being cared for and protected. It was something that she had never felt before as no man had ever thrown himself in the pit for her the same way Rocky did.

Rocky was indeed trying to save Mia. He was not a man of cold blood. It was Mia who stood up for him under the provocation of Erica and now that she was in distress, Rocky would not hesitate for a second to come and help her. Although he knew that Erica was way more powerful than he was, he still chose to step in regardless of what could possibly happen to him.

His action was not completely out of passion or desire to get himself killed, which everyone thought was his motivation. Only Rocky himself knew about the true strength that he possessed. It was a long shot and he put his life at risk, but he believed that it was better than doing nothing knowing that Mia was in danger.

Rocky suddenly looked solemn as he took a deep breath and sped up the process of absorbing the strong spiritual power until he took it all inside of his body.
