The Medallion

Chapter 47 Extraordinary Discovery

Flint froze for a second as he looked towards the sound and saw a figure where the dart came from. It was none other than Rocky while the beast that just pressed him with its claws was Uriah.

"Was that you?" Flint realized in an instant that the attacker was Rocky.

"If I knew that this would work earlier, I would not have gone through so much trouble," Rocky said with a smile on his face.

Flint still did not understand the reason behind his actions. He felt both humiliated and furious. He approached Rocky and pointed the ice sword towards his face. Uriah wanted to protect its master but Rocky stopped it.

"You have every right to be angry. However, you will not achieve anything if you refuse to enter the tiger's den. Besides, who do you think just saved you?" Rocky asked Flint as he squinted at him.

Flint looked confused as he then looked at his Cloud Tiger.

"That's right. Your war beast just saved your life." Rocky affirmed his suspicions.

"That's not possible. How could the Cloud Tiger have such abilities?" Flint found it hard to believe that the Cloud Tiger possessed the power of ice.

"Uriah......" Rocky called his war beast to gesture it to attack.

Uriah immediately jumped towards the Cloud Tiger. The Cloud Tiger sensed the upcoming danger and immediately brandished its claw. An ice claw then shot out of its claw in an instant and was aimed at Uriah. Uriah dodged the attack as the ice claw went straight into the bamboo grove and blasted a couple of bamboos to bits and pieces.

Flint was shocked by what he just witnessed. He turned rigidly towards Rocky and asked him, "What the hell is the meaning of this? How did the Cloud Tiger learn to do all of that?"

"You've always treated it as a war beast that was only good with its strength. That was your mistake. The Cloud Tiger always had potential with ice in his body similar to a spiritual beast. Once activated, such ability can be used by the war beast the same way spiritual beasts do," Rocky explained to Flint in detail.

"How did the Cloud Tiger acquire a spiritual beast's power with ice?" Flint still couldn't fully grasp the concept Rocky was telling him.

"The ancestors of the Cloud Tiger were probably a combination of a war beast and a spiritual beast. I believe this also applies to other war beasts, not just the Cloud Tiger. Many of them have some sort of hidden potential within them." Rocky started having these clues after his study on the Cloud Tiger, and he came to believe that it also applied to other war beasts.

However, the beast evaluators in this world only knew how to evaluate a beast but had no clue how to cultivate and activate the full potential of spirit-manipulated beasts. Rocky would not have discovered the potential hidden inside the Cloud Tiger if it hadn't been for his persistence in experimentations.

What Rocky failed to understand was that it was very difficult to be a beast evaluator in this world. There had been a time when there were contending schools of thoughts among the different beast evaluators. But eventually, every school of beast evaluation began to live off their past gains instead of progressing and exchanging ideas with one another. To make things worse, the Beast Evaluation Skill had been closely guarded as a secret of every school, which made it more difficult for their knowledge to be passed on. On the other hand, it was a technique that was largely dependent on one's gift. There had been many who studied the Beast Evaluation Skill that finally gave up as nothing had been achieved. The ones who were gifted enough to become beast evaluators were very rare. So many Beast Evaluation Skills had been lost due to the lack of inheritance and the constantly decreasing

number of beast evaluators. Nowadays, top-tier beast evaluators could be counted with a single hand. Every country coveted their own talents yet very few were made available.

The gift of the Beast Encyclopedia from Marcia to Rocky was indeed very helpful to his quest. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Rocky, as a rookie beast evaluator, just made history in this world by combining the evaluation and cultivation of spirit-manipulated beasts. This could significantly improve their abilities.

"Then how did you discover that there was some sort of ice ability within the Cloud Tiger?" Flint followed up with more inquiries.

"This is where I make my living. Sorry, but I cannot tell you anything about it." Rocky gave a mischievous smile as he continued, "In conclusion, you could say that the potential of the Cloud Tiger had somehow been activated. It is now up to you to cultivate it and make it even stronger. By the way, your dragon spiritual power is also anchored on ice, the same as your Cloud Tiger which will make it way easier for you to command it." Rocky found Flint to be very lucky as he just acquired a war beast with the ability of a spiritual beast while Rocky had been the one who worked hard to bring out its potential.

The success of the experiment on the Cloud Tiger significantly boosted Rocky's confidence because it showed that the theory he had studied in the modern world could also be applied in this world. However, what Rocky failed to realize was that this was just the beginning and what was about to come next would be way more difficult than his estimation.

"Thank you." Flint stared at Rocky and thanked him with sincerity.

"What?" Rocky had never expected Flint to tell him those two words. This was definitely a first.

"It seems like I owe you one. I promise to repay you one day," Flint said with affirmation before he took off with the Cloud Tiger.

Rocky smiled without giving it too much thought. He didn't know at that time that Flint would see what happened to be a favor he had to repay.

Rocky went back to the bamboo grove after Flint's departure and started to cultivate the spiritual martial arts that he learnt from his training with Mia.

Meanwhile, in a room full of aroma with pink portieres inside a magnificent residence at the northeast corner of the royal city, there was a beautiful woman in a pool of hot water with herbs floating around her. Many candles lit up the room like it was day light. The skin of that woman was tender and white while her hair was jet-black. She wore no makeup yet her face was charming and lovely. She was young, energetic, and lively.

Rocky would have still found this scene a treat to his eyes despite their last encounter.

The woman was none other than Marcia Mu.

She was leaning on the edge of the pool as she enjoyed the water around her body. A frivolous smiling face suddenly came into her heart as she opened her eyes.

"What the hell is happening to me? I have been thinking about him a lot ever since I got back. Am I regretting not killing him when we met?" Marcia shouted at herself in anger with a bit of confusion.

She then stood up from the water. Her curvy body was then exposed in the air and was indeed intoxicating. There was a mark of silver lines on her back that shone bright under the candle light. They were all very beautiful.
