The Medallion

Chapter 67 Spirit Possession

"Master!" Seeing Tasha activate the Spirit Possession, Erica looked to Felicia, yearning for permission to stop Tasha. After all, this time all the fights were just for exchanging experience, Tasha did not have to use dangerous skills like the Spirit Possession. Besides, Erica believed that Tasha could win that prince by her own power.

Felicia knew what Erica was thinking, but under the circumstances, her intervention in the fight would make good fodder for gossip. The other source of concern was whether Tasha would be able to control the spirit possessing powers afterwards. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

But she decided to wait and see. Somehow, she hoped Tasha would win the fight and bring the last honor to Magic Phoenix Empire. Already, Rocky had won three fights, and it was unlikely that Magic Phoenix Empire could lose again. Though it was no harm to lose, they would fancy winning one last bout. Just for pride.

But Erica was not at ease. She wanted Felicia to take charge and restrain Tasha.

"She can activate the Spirit Possession? No wonder she is the most respected Phoenix player. For her seventh grade of the Mortal Stage, the confidence she exudes in turning on the skill is also rare," the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sighed, his face turning serious. When Rocky showed the power at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage, the emperor had been certain of victory.

Least had he expected that Felicia's disciple could summon Spirit Possession. If she succeeded in fusing that power, she would open a really wide gap between her and Rocky. It would take another miracle for Rocky even to come closer. No one believed that Rocky could rise beyond what he had already shown. As much as they had counted on him, the odds looked oddly staked against Rocky right now.

Like their emperor, most people from Holy Dragon began to despair.

"There is no need to fight since she activated the Spirit Possession. He doesn't stand a chance against her with his mere seventh grade. While she, on the other hand has already shot up from seventh to ninth, by turning on her spirit possession," Priest Dean said with glee. From the outset, he had wished Rocky would fail. Even worse, he had denigrated Rocky and spoken ill of him to everyone. Now, he worried that he might eat humble pie, if Rocky won today's decisive bout. By every means possible, he hoped Rocky would be humiliated.

Meanwhile, Marcia who was watching the fight in the crowd turned serious when she saw Tasha activate the Spirit Possession. At first, Marcia had been very impressed that Rocky had upgraded his power to the seventh grade of Mortal Stage since they last met. She had not expected a Phoenix player would manage anything closer to Rocky's newfound power.

If she succeeded in accomplishing the Spirit Possession, Rocky would definitely lose the fight.

"If I knew this before, I would have taught him the skill. Does he stand any chance now?" Marcia murmured to herself ruefully, badly wishing there was a way Rocky could wrap this up with a win. But then she consoled herself in the fact that already, the crystal she had given Rocky had helped the young man a great deal in his development as a royal spirit manipulator.

"Why should I care so much about this single friendly match? In any case, the worst that can happen to him is maybe an injury, which is no big deal for his career. If anything, injuries are an inescapable part of the training. He is the only one who can unravel the secret etched in a tattoo on my back, with the power he got from the Holy Dragon Bead. So I'll try my best to make sure he doesn't get seriously injured here." Then in an abrupt mood swing, she thought to herself, 'It doesn't matter if he loses a hand or a leg. For all I care, he may as well lose an eye, but he'll still be around to help unlock the mystery of the tattoo.' Marcia was such a moody woman. However, even though she said so, she couldn't help but look at Rocky with anxiety.

At this time, Rocky, who had no clue about the skill for a human to fuse with the spirit-manipulated beast, saw Tasha glow with dazzling light after turning on her spirit possession. Even as he watched, he noticed the girl's spiritual power shoot up so rapidly that her body began to change.

Tasha's eyes looked like the eyes of a fox. With the spirit mark on her left cheek, she looked coquettish. Three red tails appeared on her hip which made her look like a three-tail fox spirit.

In a blink of an eye, her power had reached the ninth grade of the Mortal Stage. The gap of the power between seventh grade and ninth grade was so big that it had hinted the end of this fight.

Tasha left no room for Rocky to pull off a surprise. At the ninth grade of the Mortal Stage, she knew she'd be near invincible.

Rocky began guessing for Tasha's next move as he could only see the flash of her figure. When he tried to attack, Tasha suddenly disappeared.

"You are too slow," Rocky heard her voice from behind. She then gave him such a strong kick from the back that she sent him tumbling like a sack of potatoes.

Rocky who had easily won against three opponents so far was knocked down with a single kick.

The crowd fell dead silent, wondering whether Rocky would be able to pick himself up again.

Caught by surprise, he muttered something while still rolling on the ground. The he slowly rose up, and tried his best to stand still. Staring angrily at her, he cursed, "This woman is so heartless! Does she take this to be a matter of life and death? If I was weaker, she would have seriously injured me." Already, there was blood on the corners of his mouth. He was apparently injured.

Seeing Rocky had stood up after the first blow, Tasha immediately launched another attack determined to knock the wind out of him. In a flash, she charged at him, palm raised ready to strike. "Flame!" she

shouted.

A ball of flame instantly flew out of her palm and rolled towards Rocky.

He jumped to one side and dodged, but Tasha swung her three long tails in quick succession. The tails blocked his way, cutting short his escape form the flaming ball.

As the flames rolled and tumbled closer, out of nowhere, a blaring roar rent the air. From the sidelines, Uriah had seen his master in danger, and being the beast it was trained to be, it jumped into the ring without waiting for a command. It directly blocked the flaming ball by standing between Rocky and Tasha.

Successfully, Uriah stopped the fireball, but he took some nasty hit in the process. But Rocky was safe. The next moment, Uriah charged at Tasha in a fit of rage.
