The Medallion

Soon, the golden runes that encircled them began to fly and make their way towards the competitors' field. They intertwined with each other like golden rivers floating and shuffling among the Spiritual Emperors.

As they remained in place, they began to feel strange. Some heard a strange buzz in their ears, a few of them experienced blurred images flashing before their eyes, and the rest felt the spiritual power within them disappear in an instant.

These runes were impacting each Spiritual Emperor on the field differently.

A few of the Spiritual Emperors were able to detect and hear certain mantras a few moments later. However, most of them were incomplete. None of them dared to try and chant them out loud for fear of worsening their situation.

Most of the Spiritual Emperors chose to wait it out and see what would happen next.

But Rocky was different. He quickly completed the intermittent mantra in his mind and began to manipulate the spiritual power within him using it.

The spiritual power in his body began to rise and speed up.

Suddenly, vivid images of the previous world he lived in flashed through Rocky's mind. He saw his past with Isis, Marcia, and Alyssa. Emotions that he had buried deep within suddenly burst out like an overflowing dam.

Except for Rocky, the ten high-level Spiritual Emperors were also trying to figure out and complete the mantras they had heard to control their spiritual powers. So did some middle-level Spiritual Emperors and some extraordinary low-level Spiritual Emperors like Michelle, Moore, and Seth.

As soon as most of them became more familiar with using the mantras, they began to show different states.

This meant they began to fully comprehend what they heard.

By then, Colton had slowly descended from the top of the first floor and weaved his way between the Spiritual Emperors to observe their states. During the process of comprehension, it was easy to spiral into madness. He needed to stop it once he detected its early signs in any of the competitors. Otherwise, there would be unimaginable consequences.

Soon, more and more Spiritual Emperors from both the middle-level and the low-level began to take their shot at the comprehension task.
