The Medallion

The next day, Rocky and Eunice went to the entrance of the Black Abyss Cave, where the second round of the newcomer contest would be held.

At the moment, the entrance was already packed with people, as some disciples went early to prepare for the second round of the fighting. Many other disciples and masters from the school also came early to watch the contest.

"To all the participants, please enter the cave now. The second round of free-for-all fighting will begin after one hour!" the elder in charge of the contest announced loudly, urging the people to come inside.

"Let's go," said Eunice, nodding at Rocky beside her.

Then, the two of them followed the other disciples who were participating in the fighting into the Black Abyss Cave.

The first thing they noticed when they arrived at the cave was that it was dark inside. There was a dim light coming from several holes on top of the cave, but they were too small to be of much help. Worse, the sound of the wind howling echoed from the depths of the cave from time to time, and it sounded like ghosts wailing from the underworld, which added to the creepiness of the dark cave.

As soon as the disciples entered the cave, a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Welcome, participants! Allow me to briefly explain the rules of the melee that we are about to do. When the contest officially begins, that's the time that you can go deeper into the cave where the fighting will take place. By the way, this is a free-for-all fight, which means that you can do whatever you want to win. You can ambush, assassinate, or even use a trap array to defeat your opponents. However, be careful not to deliberately kill or severely injure your opponent to the point of death. Of course, if a mistake is made accidentally, you may be pardoned.

For the battle rules: if you feel that you are no match for your opponent, then you can quit at any time. If you do surrender, an official representative will appear and send you to the cave's designated safe areas, where you will wait for the melee to end.

Do you understand?" the figure explained lengthily.

All the participants nodded at once.

The figure waited for a few seconds to see if anyone would ask a question and then turned to look at the lighted incense in the cave. Seeing that the incense was almost burnt out, he said to the participants, "You can start now. Good luck!" After that, he abruptly disappeared.

The disciples were stunned for a moment and glanced at each other as if to see what the others would do. Some hastily left, while some lingered a few minutes more. Before long, the cave was empty.

All the disciples had used their bodily movement skills, going deeper into the Black Abyss Cave.

Rocky and Eunice tried to find an advantageous spot in the cave immediately. In such a place, the fighting tested not only their strength but also their personal abilities.
