The Medallion

Chapter 96 Losing The Contest

When the dumpty summoned his Beast Evaluation Skill, all the beast evaluators around him began murmuring among themselves. They were apprehensive because all of them had been defeated by that skill earlier. Obviously, that Beast Evaluation Skill was a brilliant one.

"Is it the Radiance Evaluation Skill?" For some reason, Rocky felt familiar with the Beast Evaluation Skill which that dumpty summoned. The skill was quite similar to the Magical Evaluation Skill written in the book, Beast Encyclopedia. Both the skills depended on the light reflected from a spirit-manipulated beast to tell its quality. That kind of Beast Evaluation Skill was called the "Radiance Evaluation Skill" in that book.

The Radiance Evaluation Skill was a basic one compared to the other evaluation skills in that book. Only when his cultivation reached a higher grade, he would be qualified to learn more about high- graded evaluation skills.

The evaluation skills written in that book contained almost every aspect of beast evaluation, which outdid any other Beast Evaluation Skill.

The Beast Evaluation Skill which the dumpty summoned was also overshadowed by the evaluation skills that were written in the book.

Weldon frowned deeply as he saw the dumpty start his evaluation. The rule for the contest was quite simple. The beast evaluator, who could tell about a spirit-manipulated beast's star rating and quality the fastest and the most accurately, would win the game. The speed and accuracy revealed how great a beast evaluator was. An excellent beast evaluator would be able to tell the accurate star rating and quality of a spirit-manipulated beast in a matter of minutes.

Worrying that the Super Beast Farm would lose the contest, Weldon joined the game as well. As a bright light flashed around his left hand, he put his left hand on the cub and stroked its body. A smile

crept over the corner of his lips soon. It had hardly taken him time and he already knew the cub's star rating and quality.

However, the dumpty announced the result of his evaluation even before Weldon opened his mouth. The man exclaimed, "A four-star Sirius Lion, number fifty six on the Spiritual Beast List. It's famous for its lightning speed. In a blink of an eye, it can run hundreds of meters..."

After the dumpty finished his detailed evaluation report, the beast evaluators on the spot gave him thunderous applause. All of them were stunned by the dumpty's evaluation. It was clear that they had accepted the fact that this man was going to defeat all of them. He had won against Weldon too, who was a grade seven beast evaluator from the Super Beast Farm. It was undeniable that the dumpty was an outstanding beast evaluator. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Mia's brows knitted together when she saw Weldon lose to the dumpty. Her eyes moved onto him. Although the man looked ordinary, his beast evaluation ability had surpassed that of Weldon. She had to admit that the saying was true, 'No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger than you.'

"What an excellent young man! I accept the result sincerely," Weldon said bowing to the dumpty. Although he tried to be modest, deep within he was distraught to confess his failure.

"Oh, I'm so flattered, Mr. Weldon! I just won by a nose! I knew that Mr. Weldon had already made your evaluation too. Mr. Weldon is really as good as those stories say. Honestly, I think I still need to learn a lot from you," the man said as he bowed to Weldon.

Weldon just smiled awkwardly. As soon as he saw Mia, he walked to her and gave a formal bow to her. "Madam Mia, I'm so sorry! I didn't live up to the expectations you and the Super Beast Farm had on me."

Weldon also knew that the Super Beast Farm had lost its glory as the beast evaluation champion because of him. It was a huge blow for the Super Beast Farm as the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup, which they had kept for years, was not theirs anymore.

"Never mind, Weldon! You have done your job well. Nobody can be a winner all the time," Mia comforted calmly.

When Weldon walked towards Mia, everyone's attention was on Mia. They had been so engrossed in the game that nobody noticed Mia's presence. Their eyes lit up as soon as they saw her. It was evident that all of them were infatuated by her delicate features and charm.

"Oh! You must be the head of the Super Beast Farm, Miss Mia. I've heard a lot about you. It's really an honor to meet you here today, Miss Mia. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Carter Li, and..." The dumpty introduced himself as Carter. When he saw Mia, he strode towards her at once. His eyes were fixed on Mia as he began talking with her.

However, Mia ignored Carter's flattering words and interrupted his self-introduction blatantly. "Tobin, go and get the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup." Now that the Super Beast Farm had lost the game, the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup belonged to Carter.

"Madam Mia...but..." Tobin frowned as he stood still after hearing her words. He didn't want to give away the Jade Cup. Mia shot a cold glare at him. He knew he could do nothing but would have to follow her order.

On the other hand, Carter had a broad grin on his face. He was waiting to take the Jade Cup in his hands. His smug face annoyed Mia and Weldon further.

"Wait!" A voice rang out suddenly.

Everyone turned towards the source of the voice. They saw a handsome young man standing out beside Mia. He slowly began to walk towards Carter. Once closer to Carter, he said, "Hey! But something is missing. I feel that your evaluation result is incomplete. You didn't give the complete information about the cub's quality. You have missed a detail."

That young man was no one else but Rocky.

Everyone who was present there was dumbstruck. They were filled with amazement when they heard Rocky claim about the detail that Carter had missed. They all thought Rocky's remark was ridiculous. Carter was a grade seven beast evaluator, and Rocky was questioning Carter's evaluation result. What a lunatic would do such a thing? They didn't think that such a young man like Rocky would be a high grade beast evaluator. They were looking at Rocky with scorn as if he was an over-confident idiot.

"What do you mean by saying that my evaluation is incomplete? Ha ha! Please tell me you were just cracking a joke," Carter sneered at Rocky.

"Madam Mia, he is..." Weldon asked Mia. He knew that Rocky had come there with Mia. He was shocked to see Rocky question Carter so confidently.

Mia gave no answer but stared at Rocky. If it had been any regular time, she would have taken Rocky away and taught him a good lesson for his crazy nonsense. But this time she seriously considered what Rocky had said. After all, Rocky had usually proved his words right. She had witnessed in person how he turned an impossibility into reality.

"Well, do you want to place a bet? If I can tell the missing detail in your evaluation result, the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup will still belong to the Super Beast Farm. Agree?" Rocky said confidently.

"You really think highly of yourself, young man! Fine! I accept your challenge! I don't know your relationship with these people, but I'm sure that you are doing this for the Super Beast Farm. How

about this, dude? If you lose to me, I will not only get the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup but also an apology from you. You have to kneel down and kowtow before me to show your sincerity." Carter, obviously, had been infuriated by Rocky and he felt humiliated. How could he accept that a young man like Rocky stood up to question him, a grade seven beast evaluator?

"Deal!" Rocky said, raising his eyebrow.

"Madam Mia!" Tobin exclaimed with concern. He was worried that if Rocky lost the game, he would have to apologize to Carter. Rocky was a prince. What would the royal family think if they came to know that a prince kowtowed to a civilian because of a bet? What a humiliation it would be for the royal family!

"It's fine! Don't worry about it." That bet was not going to be harmful for the Super Beast Farm. The Super Beast Farm had lost the contest anyway. Even if Rocky failed, the Super Beast Farm just needed to hand over the Top Beast Evaluator's Jade Cup. Mia was eager now. She wanted to see what made Rocky special. Was he really talented or just extremely lucky?

The others who heard Rocky, sneered at him and shot sarcastic looks. They thought of Rocky as a hopeless idiot and kept wondering why he was making a fool of himself. They couldn't understand why he was being so irresponsible and how dare he to challenge a grade seven beast evaluator!
