The Medallion

"Well, you are a Godly Genius, aren't you? If you can't even finish a hundred challenges from me, you don't deserve to be called one. Why don't you just let me eat your soul? However, I promise to give you a corresponding reward in return if you succeed. Ha-ha!" At this point, Ricardo had already shown his true colors. All along, his real intention was to devour Rocky's soul.

However, Rocky had already anticipated that something like this would happen. He had already become suspicious the moment Ricardo didn't show up when he spoke to him. Moreover, based on what he said, it seemed that he didn't have any intention of letting Rocky leave.

"Fine. What are the contents of these challenges?" Rocky asked, trying to ride along on what Ricardo wanted while devising a way to get out of there.

"Everything under the sun. It covers all sorts of things you can ever imagine; every kind of secret skill, things related to astronomy, geography, and even mysterious arrays used in military tactics. Once you have given a wrong answer, you shall suffer the impact of the spiritual sense attack. The only way you can leave is if you get everything right," Ricardo explained briefly.

"I see. Then, don't waste my time and get it going!" Rocky knew that there was no point in arguing with Ricardo anymore. He believed that nothing would be too difficult for him if he poured all of his determination to overcome them.

Soon enough, several shadows suddenly appeared in the previously empty palace, displaying various moves in the air. They moved rather swiftly and simultaneously. Thus, it was actually difficult to see or remember everything. Then, in the blink of an eye, the shadows dissipated as if they had never been there.

"Now, display all the moves that you have just seen!" Ricardo finally issued the first challenge.

'A challenge involving my memory, huh?' Rocky had somehow known that the challenge might be something like this. Hence, he thought carefully for a while before imitating the movements that the shadows performed earlier.

Fortunately for Rocky, although the shadows displayed several different strokes at the same time, he had inherited the memory of the royal king of the Shura Race. Therefore, he only needed to take a single glance at the shadows earlier to know what kind of unique skill they used.

Upon exhibiting the movements perfectly, a lamp suddenly lit up within the palace.

Behind the lamp, Rocky could see a wall, on which a map of the Ethereal Region was inscribed. However, at first glance, Rocky already noticed that it was incomplete. Several areas were missing from it.

'So, now, it is to test my knowledge in geography?' Seeing this, Rocky could just shake his head while letting out a faint smile. When he led the human army before, he had completely mastered the map of the Ethereal Region. Hence, he knew the entire region like his own palm.
