The Medallion

Since Rocky could not do anything to pre-arrange the draw, he could only entrust the result to fate. Ideally, he was hoping that he could face Israel first so that Valeria would be paired with Quentin. After all, Quentin would be a much easier opponent than Israel.

Before the draw began, Rocky looked at the other three candidates and uttered, "Why don't we let the lady draw first?"

"Yeah, I don't mind." Quentin also agreed. He was actually staring at Valeria with narrowed eyes. Although he was not a hundred percent sure, he had already suspected that the real identity of this female Spiritual Emperor was indeed Valeria.

However, Valeria hesitated, a bit confused at the statements of the two.

"Come on, just do it. It doesn't really matter who draws first." Rocky nodded and continued to urge her.

Finally, Valeria heaved a sigh and took a bamboo slip from the box.

Afterward, Quentin approached the box and also took one.

Then, Rocky also gestured at Israel that he could pick before him.

Without hesitation, Israel took one of the remaining bamboo slips, automatically making the last one as Rocky's.

After everyone had already drawn, the elder of the Di Clan, who was in charge of supervising this battle, signaled the four candidates to show their lots at the same time.

With that, Rocky and the rest flipped the bamboo slips and showed the numbers written on them. When Rocky looked at the bamboo slips of the other three candidates, he saw that Quentin had the same number as him, which meant that they would be the ones to fight in the semifinals. Moreover, the other pair would be Valeria and Israel.

Rocky could not help but let out a frown since this was the worst combination that he wanted to happen.

"Do you mind if I exchange my lot with you?" Out of desperation, Rocky approached Valeria and proposed that they traded their lots. After all, he was worried that something bad might happen to her. Once Israel confirmed that she was a Godly Genius, there was a huge possibility that he would try to kill her.

At the same time, Valeria was taken aback that Rocky would do something like this. In fact, she was tempted to accept the offer because she knew that her chances of defeating Israel were slim to none.
