The Medallion

Hayden, from his seat in the audience, smiled sinisterly. In exchange for killing Rocky, he gave the disciple in yellow a magical pill made by the Summer Palace. This pill was meant to increase his strength and speed, which was why the disciple took it without hesitation. What he didn't know was that its potential side effects were to make the taker go berserk and lose control like a beast.

Of course, when Hayden had given him the pill, he didn't tell the disciple about its side effects.

Just as Hayden had planned, the disciple in yellow began to show symptoms of the side effects.

If Rocky was killed by this out-of-control disciple, it would be attributed to his bad luck. No one would look into it. Hayden would get away with murdering Rocky easily.

Rocky, who could see the craziness in the disciple's eyes, dared not let his guard down. The disciple tried to pounce on him like a mad dog, carelessly and clumsily. Rocky narrowed his eyes at him. He could tell something was wrong. However, in the eyes of the onlookers, the disciple in yellow was just attacking with all his might; they didn't notice how he was out of control.

'He must have taken some sort of pill to strengthen his body,' Rocky figured. 'Little did he know that his clever trick would backfire on him like this...' However, Rocky knew that if he didn't end the battle immediately and get this disciple some help, he would be lost forever. Time was of the essence.

Expression grim, Rocky suddenly stopped moving and faced the coming opponent head-on. When the disciple in yellow saw this golden opportunity, his hands turned into massive claws. In the blink of an eye, two huge claws appeared by Rocky's sides, poised to rip him apart.

However, Rocky didn't even attempt to dodge. Instead, he took a step forward. All of a sudden, a strong spiritual power rushed out from his body and collided with the two huge claw shadows. A strong wave of spiritual power swept over the arena under the impact of their collision.

But soon, the power of the massive claws grew stronger. Just as it was about to slash Rocky into shreds, something remarkable happened. A sword shadow suddenly appeared behind the disciple and knocked him on the back of his neck. Eyes rolling to the back of his head, the disciple then fainted on the spot.
