The Medallion

"What do you mean? I don't get it," Rocky said while looking at Gloria innocently like a child.

"Have you reached the medium grade of the Emperor Realm already?" Gloria demanded. She seemed to have seen through his facade and noticed something.

"What makes you say that?" he asked her in return. Truth be told, he didn't expect her to figure out that he had hidden his true strength. However, her guess wasn't entirely correct.

"Among the Spiritual Emperors who were sent to spy on you tonight, at least three of them were at the medium grade. With the strength you displayed publicly, you wouldn't have easily dealt with them unless they were intimidated by your real strength. Moreover, your extraordinary performance during the Spiritual Emperor Contest suggested that your strength should have leveled up to the medium grade long ago..." This proved that Gloria was exceptionally smart to have come up with such speculation.

"It seems I can't hide it from you. It's true. My strength has reached the medium grade," Rocky confirmed and nodded discreetly.

"You're horrible. You know that Valeria and I were so worried about you!" Gloria pouted as she shot Rocky a disapproving look. However, Rocky being a medium grade Spiritual Emperor was actually beneficial for her.

"I didn't realize you were worried about me." Rocky shrugged.

"Humph. I know you're secretly rejoicing at the fact that two beautiful ladies care about you. No man has ever been able to make both me and Valeria worry about him so much before you." Gloria shot him a stern glare.

"Well, if there's nothing else for us to talk about, I'll leave now," Rocky mentioned. He had no intention of continuing this conversation with her because of her exceptional intelligence. He was afraid that the more he talked, the more skeptical she would be about his true strength.

"There's a nice, cozy room for you to stay in and yet you insist on staying outside? Are you making an excuse to leave and go on a date with that woman from the Di Clan?" Gloria asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Whatever you say!" Rocky turned around, pulled the door open, and left without any further explanation.

Heavenly Library's existence wasn't a secret in the Ethereal Region, so many of the Spiritual Emperors and the representatives of the forces watching knew about it as well. When they heard that the third test was to be held in the Heavenly Library, they were overjoyed because they would be able to learn a unique skill if they were lucky enough. This
