Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1459 Challenged The Sword God

After looking carefully, he discovered a few human shaped portraits and words on the stone tabletas well.

Rocky walked over to the nearest stone tablet. Curiosity was brimming on his face. A Taoist with along sword on his back was carved on the tablet. Somehow, the Taoist on the tablet looked ethereal,and on the side of the stone tablet, a few words were engraved: Darius, the Sword God.

"Darius, the Sword God? Was this person the Sword God? If true, then his swordsmanship must havebeen amazing!" Rocky murmured.

At that moment, the Taoist on the stone tablet suddenly moved. Rocky's jaw almost dropped to theground the next moment when the Taoist walked out of the stone tablet. Somehow, he seemed likea corporeal entity instead of an illusion.

"Are you going to challenge me?" the Taoist asked.

"What? Challenge you? Are you kidding me? You are the Sword God and I am not going to make amountain out of a molehill.” Rocky immediately waved his hand. However, he could feel that theTaoist's aura was similar to his own. In fact, the Taoist did not look like a peerless master of greatstrength.

"Really? Because if you challenge me and then win, you will be able to obtain a uniqueswordsmanship of the Sword Spirit Sect. It's known as the Thousand-star Swordsmanship,” theTaoist said

"Really? Will that really happen?" This was the first time Rocky had encountered such a situation, sohe was unable to react for a while. Whatever was happening in front of him right now was beyondhis wildest dreams. He was a modern man, so it was impossible for him to imagine a man walkingout of a stone tablet. And then, to top it over, the man had said that if Rocky succeeded in winninga battle against him, he would receive an incredible reward. This was also beyond Rocky'simagination.

Luckily, he was quite flexible and adapted to the unfamiliar environment quite well. He immediatelyasked, "What if I fail in the challenge?"

"If you fail, you will be bedridden for a few days at most. I will try my best not to kill you,” the Taoistsaid honestly.

Hearing that, Rocky suddenly had an impulse to spurt blood. What did he mean by “try not to killyou'? Was it possible that he could die in this challenge? This was exciting!

Rocky liked excitement and challenges and therefore, decided to give it a shot.

"Okay, I'll challenge you sir. Please show me mercy,” Rocky declared, cupping his hands.

"Since you haven't reached the Emperor Realm yet, I'll give you a head-start of two moves. If youcan touch the sword behind me, you win," the Taoist offered.

"It is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously.” Rocky's face lit up when he heardthe proposal. In terms of strength, he certainly could not defeat Darius. However, in terms ofadaptability, he was confident that he could achieve victory.

"Please!" After saying that, Darius put his hands behind his back.

He then nodded to show that he was ready. Rocky stretched out his body immediately and directlyattacked Darius with all the strength he could muster.

On the other hand, Darius didn't even move. The moment Rocky tried to touch him, a forceful spiritpower burst out from his body and pushed back Rocky's hand.

Rocky didn't want to be outdone and continued to attack. However, no matter how close he got toDarius, he would always be shaken away by the forceful spiritual power from him. Let alone touchthe sword, he couldn't even get his hands on Darius’ clothes.

Seeing that a direct approach wasn't working, Rocky summoned Glutton and activated the SpiritPossession. This increased his strength and speed several folds. Then he attacked head-on again.However, even after more than a dozen rounds, he was unable to do anything to Darius, and wasalready a little out of breath.

"Your speed is good, but your heart is not calm enough. An anxious heart will always affect yourphysical performance. You can be much faster, but because of the shackles in your mind, you areunable to reach further. Study my words carefully and then challenge me again later.” After sayingthat, Darius turned around and entered his stone tablet with his hands behind his back. Once there,he turned back into a stone carving.

"Looks like I will have a lot of fun here.” Rocky was still excited. He hadn't been this enthralled in along while.

Although he hadn't succeeded in completing the challenge, he had still benefited a lot from it. Thelast words Darius had just said were quite insightful.

When Darius was gone, Rocky looked at the other stone tablets around him. Soon, he discoveredthat apart from the carvings which looked like peerless human masters, several other carvings ofspiritual beasts and Spiritual Weapons were also engraved upon a few of them.

"If all of these creatures can be challenged, then the following days aren't going to be so boring atall." Rocky smiled and looked around. "But how would I get out of this place?"

Just as he had wondered aloud about exit routes, Rocky suddenly came to his senses and foundhimself back in reality. It was as if he'd never left.

"I think my spiritual sense entered the jade,” Rocky murmured. He checked his Spiritual Infant andsaw that it had grown slightly. His strength had also increased a little.

It must be the result of his entry into the Scarlet Heaven Jade. It was then he realized what aprecious treasure the jade was. Rocky sighed softly. He was now certain that entering the MartialSpirit Graveyard this time could prove to be a crucial turning point for his martial arts career.

Early next morning, Rocky left his Magic Spiritual Space and decided to look around for Tessa.Unexpectedly, she appeared in front of him in the beast farm herself.

"Tessa, what a surprise. I was just looking for you. How come you are here?" Rocky asked.

"I'm here for you, you idiot. I have something I need to ask you," Tessa said with her beautiful eyestwinkling softly.

"What is it?" Rocky raised his eyebrows.

"Come with me." Tessa waved her hand mysteriously, instead of giving him a straight answer."Okay." Rocky left the beast farm with Tessa under the watchful eyes of the farm's disciples.

Not long after walking out of the beast farm, Tessa suddenly turned around and asked with apuzzled look, "The day I merged with the martial spirit, I could feel that my strength was notenough. However, when you patted me on the shoulder later, I felt a sudden surge of power, andthe martial spirit, which was resisting till now, also merged with me by itself. Tell me honestly; didyou do something for me?"

"I don't think so. I just gave you some encouragement,” Rocky answered with an innocentexpression.

"I don't believe you." Tessa was certain it could not be a coincidence.

"If you don't believe me, then I cannot make you do so," Rocky said helplessly with a shrug.

"I know you must have done something to me, whether you admit or not,” Tessa declared firmly."Believing me is your choice. I am telling the truth. But tell me, how do you feel after fusing with themartial spirit?" Rocky changed the topic.

"Not bad. My father also checked up on me this morning. He said that the martial spirit is quitecompatible with me. Also, it is a feminine type of martial spirit which is very suitable for myswordsmanship.” Tessa's eyes lit up.

"Really? Good for you. Congratulations!" Rocky smiled encouragingly.

"Thank you. Truth be told, if you hadn't risked your life to draw those martial spirits away from me, Iwouldn't have had enough time to fuse with it.” Tessa was aware of the great sacrifice that Rockyhad made just so she could fuse with the martial spirit without hindrance.

"Ha-ha, it's not a big deal.” Rocky smiled disapprovingly. He didn't like formalities.
