The Medallion

"Gloria won't warn Valeria. It seems that I will have to go to Valeria and Lilith myself." Since Rocky had already finished his business here, he hurriedly left and disappeared.

First, Rocky went to see Lilith. As she was practicing her spiritual skills in her yard, he appeared to her as Basil.

Upon seeing him, Lilith could not help but blush a little. "Basil, it's already too late. Why are you here? Anything happened?"

"Why? Can't I come and visit if I don't have anything important to discuss with you?" Rocky asked with a gentle smile.

"Um, do you want to go inside first?" Lilith asked in a shy tone.

"No. It won't be necessary. After all, I won't be here for long." Rocky shook his head as he refused. Moreover, he also thought that it would be inappropriate for him to enter Lilith's residence this late in the night.

"Okay then." Realizing what a gentleman Rocky was, Lilith looked up to him with an inexplicable brilliance in her eyes.

"By the way, I just want to know. Why you gave up the fight earlier today?" Rocky asked out of nowhere.

"Hmm, no reason really. I just don't want to fight against you," Lilith answered honestly. Besides, she also knew that Rocky should be much stronger than her. Hence, she did not want to waste both their time and hurt each other in the process.

"Really? That's it? Well, anyway, thank you for doing that."

"Ha-ha. There is no need for you to thank me. In fact, I already told you that I don't care much about the result of the Spiritual Emperor Contest. If it were not for my father forcing me to participate, I would not even want to be here. But of course, I really found the trails in the Holy Heaven Palace to be worth it!" If there was any consolation for her participation in the contest, it was the experience and attainments she acquired from the Holy Heaven Palace.

"I see. It is surprising that you have this kind of thinking at your age." Rocky actually appreciated Lilith's attitude because she knew what really was important.

"When you say it like that, you sound like an old man," Lilith complained as she put her hands on her waist.

Iker was not his poisonous hidden weapons but that his spiritual power was also poisonous. Therefore, even if Rocky was fast enough to dodge the weapons hurled at him, he also could not easily approach Iker because he would be poisoned by his spiritual power. Moreover, Iker's poison was so potent that it could penetrate one's skin and enter the bloodstream. Once that happened, it could instantly affect the circulation of one's spiritual power and weaken their strength. Worst, his opponent could be
