The Medallion

Everyone grew more and more excited for the anticipated battle between Basil and Israel. While some might say that Israel was stronger, no one could say for sure since the two were neck in neck in terms of strength.

Add to this the fact that Israel disguised himself as a well-known, high-grade Spiritual Emperor from the spiritual race, while Basil himself was a new up-and-coming talent from the Ethereal Region.

The hilltop where the battle was to be held was already brimming with people wanting to watch the fight up close. Thousands of people were eager to watch, including representatives of the major forces, Spiritual Emperors from different sects, and disciples of the Di Clan.

Even Quentin, who was still gravely injured from the battle with Rocky, dragged himself to watch the highly anticipated battle.

"I gathered information that Israel intends to kill off Basil in the battle," Gloria said to Quentin.

"To be honest, I prefer Basil to be the winner. Maybe he'd even save us the trouble of killing Israel," Quentin replied with a hopeful smile.

"I hope so!" Of course, Gloria would also be happy to see that.

"However, if Israel beats him, I'm afraid that even with the combined power of the other Godly Geniuses, we won't stand a chance against Israel," Quentin said with worry written all over his face.

"Let's just hope it won't come to that. Anyway, what I'm more curious about is why Basil spared your life? He had numerous chances of killing you, but why didn't he do it? He didn't show any mercy to Drew, so why would he spare you?" Gloria looked at Quentin with much curiosity as she narrowed her eyes in thought.

"How would I know? If I were given another chance, I'll definitely kill him!" Quentin said ferociously.

The next moment, Rocky and Israel's figures appeared out of the mountaintop, several meters away from each other. They were locked in each other's stare, creating a chilling yet intense atmosphere.

Rocky's eyes were dead-cold. Only a few people had ever witnessed this side of Rocky, and no one was able to live to tell the tale.
