The Medallion

Chapter 41 Uriah Reveals Itself By Striking The First Blow

Bear and his partners quickly realized that Rocky seemed to have undergone a recent transformation. They were in shock. It had been just one month since they'd seen Rocky! How could this once-frail boy suddenly grow immensely strong and become so powerful and self-assured!?

"Say it again if you have the guts!" Bear growled scoldingly, burning with rage at Rocky's words and attitude. He immediately recalled that one month ago, he had lost a bet to Rocky.

"You want to talk about guts? Who's the one that sent two fools to do his bidding because he was too afraid?" retorted Rocky with a sneering smile.

"How dare you …" Bear fumed with rage. He clenched his trembling fists, shooting daggers at Rocky with his eyes. But unsupervised fighting was prohibited by the explicit order of the dragon field. It would be unwise to hit Rocky here and now. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Bear, this brat is so ignorant and arrogant. We must teach him a lesson!"

"I agree. He has no respect at all for Bear!"

"Bear can kill him with just a snap of a finger! How dare he provoke him?"

Several teenagers behind Bear began to fling words of flattery. None of them were the least bit sincere.

"Humph! He is not worth wasting my time on!" Bear pretended to be arrogant, but the truth was that he was quickly feeling inferior to Rocky and couldn't wait to kill his rival immediately.

"In front of me, you are so obedient and submissive. You are my sweet grandchild!" Rocky was fully aware that Bear didn't dare to strike the first blow, and decided to take the opportunity to humiliate him.

It seemed that Rocky's speech had reached the limits of Bear's tolerance. He lost his temper, breaking out into a furious rage with a murderous glint in his eyes. He signaled to his war beast, the Lion Eagle

which was always on his side, to attack Rocky immediately. The Lion Eagle at once soared high into the air, making a sharp turn to attack Rocky from behind.

'Duel fighting with a royal spirit manipulator is prohibited by the explicit order of the dragon field. But a war beast is an exception! They are beasts who can fight anyone, anytime, and anywhere!' Bear thought to himself, smiling maliciously.

Bear's Lion Eagle, a three-star war beast, had two heads, four claws, and an immense wing. Its muscles were toned and hardy, giving it an advantage both in the air and on the ground. And to add to its power, its wing as hard as steel and its feathers as sharp as knives.

Rocky felt an unusual wind gusting from behind him. He instantly narrowed his eyes and did a backward somersault. Just before Rocky landed on the ground, the Lion Eagle's wing brushed against his right arm, zooming past him with a terrifying whoosh.

'My sweet grandchild, you turned out to play tricks!' Rocky thought, keeping his composure. He waved his left arm and a dragon spiritual power instantly burst forth towards the Lion Eagle.

However, the Lion Eagle flew faster than Rocky had anticipated. Before Rocky could react, the Lion Eagle had disappeared into the air. Soon after, it re-emerged in mid-air, spreading its wing and swooping down towards Rocky.

The Lion Eagle had the advantage in the air, so Rocky did all he could to shorten the distance between the Lion Eagle and himself. But Rocky had forgotten about the beast's master. The Lion Eagle was a spirit-manipulated beast, who was controlled by an excellent spirit manipulator.

Bear was renowned for his abilities in this. Although he had not yet acknowledged a spirit manipulating master as his teacher, the ability to manipulate a Lion Eagle very skillfully seemed to be an inherent skill of his. Bear had already seen through Rocky's tactics, so he at once ordered the Lion Eagle to broaden the distance between Rocky and himself.

Rocky also had figured out Bear's plans. He glared at Bear angrily. 'At the level of the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage, I should be able to kill Bear as easily as plucking the petals from a flower!

Since Bear is pulling crazy tactics, I have to beat him at his own game!'

Rocky thought to himself. A moment later, Rocky activated his dragon spiritual power. His body gleamed brightly, covered in multicolored light. Almost at once, his spiritual power exploded.

"Second grade of the Mortal Stage! Humph, he is no match for my Lion Eagle!" Bear sneered.

But a few seconds later he ate his words. Rocky's lightning reflexes greatly shocked him. He had absolutely no idea about Rocky's recent enhancement of his spiritual power. Of course, he did not know that Rocky's true strength had reached the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage. Bear could tell that things were taking a left turn for him, so he immediately ordered the Lion Eagle to attack Rocky more quickly.

'Humph! If Uriah were here, he would surely kill this stupid eagle with just a snap of a finger, ' Rocky thought to himself. This three-star Lion Eagle was just at the first grade and was absolutely no match for Rocky's once-little beast. And for those powerful spirit-manipulated beasts, this Lion Eagle was only a piece of cake.

Though, the Lion Eagle's movement at high speed did put Rocky in a sticky situation. If Rocky pulled out all the stops for his power in the battle, he could easily kill the Lion Eagle. But Rocky did not want to expose his true strength too early, and certainly not at this time and place.

At the moment, a loud sound of roar came from the fences in the direction of the bamboo grove. Rocky saw a beast's shadow zoom past him.

The shadow of a beast moved so quickly that Rocky and Bear could not see it clearly. Upon hearing a piercing squeal, they all came to their senses and realized that a dragon-like beast had pinned the Lion Eagle to the ground with its forelegs.

Bear and the other young men present were stunned into silence. They all knew that the three-star Lion Eagle was powerful. How come it has become so defenseless in the face of this big beast? This dragon-like creature was definitely stronger. Due to their limited abilities, they could not discern the combat capacity and star level of this big beast. They just felt the big beast was very strange and certainly ungaugeable.

"Uriah, what brings you here?" At the moment, Rocky involuntarily frowned as if nothing had happened. It turned out that this big beast was none other than Uriah.

Upon hearing his voice, Uriah romped around and yapped happily. The beast was quite hyper and did not understand that its master had intended to conceal him.
