The Medallion

Upon entering the study, Rocky instantly saw Timothy standing in front of several portraits, seemingly lost in thought. He also took a look at those magnificent portraits, and it didn't take long before his eyes were fixed on one of them. On the portrait was no other than the one who taught him the Thousand-star Swordsmanship—the former leader of the Sword Spirit Sect, Darius.

"Master Timothy!" Rocky greeted the sect leader as he cupped his hands.

"You're finally here. Have a seat." Timothy turned around and pointed him to the couch.

Rocky nodded and immediately did as told.

"Do you know why I summoned you today?" Timothy asked upon sitting across Rocky.

"I have a hunch, but I'm not really sure about it," Rocky answered with honesty.

"Then go ahead and make a guess," Timothy insisted.

"I heard that Miss Hannah is going to hold a martial arts competition that will determine the warrior that she would marry. I'm assuming that it has something to do with that, right?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.

"You're really good at this sort of thing. But that's just partially correct. There is more to it..." Timothy slightly nodded as his expression immediately became more serious.

"I'm listening. Please tell me what you need me to do," Rocky responded earnestly.

"Harrison told me just recently that when you competed for the position of the Security Hall leader, you happened to use the most powerful swordsmanship of the Sword Spirit Sect, the Thousand-star Swordsmanship. He also said that according to you, you have acquired this swordsmanship when you explored the Martial Spirit Graveyard before. Is that true?" Timothy asked as he stared directly into Rocky's eyes.

"Yes, sir. That's true," Rocky calmly replied.

Back then, he had reached the peak level in swordsmanship. Even the founder of the Sword Spirit Sect might not be able to defeat him if they faced off. Right before he died, his strength was said to be at the peak level of the Emperor Realm and was almost close to breaking through the Shura Realm, which no human spirit warrior has ever attained.
