The Medallion

“Mr. Hayden, listen carefully. I’m new here and don’t want to cause any trouble. You may know Eunice but don’t you dare provoke me! Otherwise, I’ll be anything but polite to you. Even though you’re the son of the Summer Palace's leader, you’ll never get the good end of the stick if you continue looking for trouble!” Rocky warned as he brushed past him.

Hayden trembled when he returned to his senses. By then, Rocky was already gone.

“How dare he…” Hayden's eyes widened and his face changed.

Meanwhile, Rocky walked for a short while before he discovered that Kohen, who was previously perched on his shoulder, had vanished. Its sudden disappearance reminded him of Ken.

“This isn't good,” Rocky uttered as he shook his head. He narrowed his eyes in search of Kohen. The tiny beast didn’t have much strength to protect itself. So if it came across someone with ill intentions, it’d be in trouble.

Fortunately, he was able to connect Kohen previously with the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. This allowed him to locate the beast no matter how far it ran off.

Without wasting another second, Rocky activated the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to find Kohen. Soon, he entered a deserted bamboo forest. The crystal clear and alluring melody of a flute could be heard in the distance. The tune was peaceful and pleasant as it rang through the air. A moment later, Rocky could hear the undeniable sound of some special summoning power within the melody. Other spirit warriors would never be able to detect it. He could because of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill he cultivated that allowed him to not only communicate with beasts but sense all kinds of summoning power as well.

“The humans in the Ethereal Region aren’t skilled at beast taming but some are able to summon a beast with a flute. This isn't just some simple task. I’ll go and take a look,” Rocky said with a beaming grin. He then morphed into a shadow and disappeared.

Soon, a waterfall came into his view. The water cascaded down as if the Milky Way was falling from the sky. Countless water droplets splashed and reflected the sun’s rays into crystal clear light. At the bottom of the waterfall laid a pool of blue water. The steam emanating from it hovered above its surface like a hot spring.

Rocky noticed a beautiful figure standing by a huge stone on the pool’s side. She held a bone flute in her hand. Although she didn’t emanate any aura, he could tell that her strength was higher than his.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the pool.

Splash!

A colossal water blue beast quickly jumped out of the water. It began to shake the water droplets off of its body carelessly and flicked them onto the beautiful woman by the pool.

“Water, you’re so annoying!” the figure complained and then giggled in a sweet voice.

The giant beast let out a low growl that, although terrifying, revealed its playful innocence.

“Water? What a lovely name!” Rocky shook his head and smiled.
