Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1519 The Second Round

After a while, Rocky successfully avoided the resulting impact of the Cloud-concealing Skill, andsomehow, approached the two overwhelming spiritual beasts. Then, the Mystical Dragon Swordbehind him soared to the sky and morphed into dazzling starlight that began to expand.

It was the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.

By then, all the disciples present were shocked by the sudden appearance of the spiritual light. Itwas as dense and luminous as one of the stars in the night sky. Their astonishment was heightenedonce they witnessed the light fall towards the earth like a falling star. It then morphed into swordshadows that completely enveloped the two spiritual beasts.

“What... what spiritual skill is this?”

“This is quite alarming. Is it a premium grade spiritual skill? I've never seen it before!”

“That's impossible! How could someone with his strength use a premium grade spiritual skill likethat?”

As the bewilderment continued to spread among them, the two spiritual beasts beamed with swordradiance all over their bodies. Their bodies gleamed and glistened for a moment before both of theferocious beasts dropped dead.

All around, there was nothing but dead silence.

All the disciples turned to Rocky with eyes as wide as saucers. They looked as though they werestaring at a monster.

“I guess I've gone too far.” Rocky knew that conjuring the Thousand-star Swordsmanship woulddraw a lot of attention. But considering that he was up against two premium grade spiritual beasts,he needed to use his full strength. Otherwise, someone else might take the chance of snatching hisadvantage.

So he used up all his power to help the red team pass the first round.

Without delay, he quickly approached the two spiritual beasts and snatched the items he neededbefore the other disciples could react. The red team now had a total of four items. This meant thatthe yellow team, who had the upper hand earlier, now seemed to be on the losing end.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry! Don't let him escape!” Drake, the leader of the yellow team,commanded. Losing their advantage was unacceptable.

All the members of the yellow team looked at each other but none of them dared to step up andface Rocky. The Thousand-star Swordsmanship he just exhibited still stunned the onlookers.“Thank you for the win, yellow team!” Rocky exclaimed in gratitude to the yellow team whoremained frozen in place even after he took the items.

It was as if they were stunned and unable to react for a while.

'If I'm right, he used a premium grade sword skill from the Sword Spirit Sect. It must be a skill thatordinary disciples aren't taught. But how did he manage to learn it? And a warrior of his levelshouldn't be able to master such a premium grade sword skill in the first place, Carla thought. Shewas still trying to recover from the astonishment Rocky's Thousand-star Swordsmanship broughtearlier. It appeared he was more powerful than she imagined. No wonder he was able to subdue theprevious demonic spiritual beast they encountered.

Once the members of the red team realized that Rocky successfully retrieved two items in a singlebreath, they all fell into silence before they erupted into happy and excited cheer. This meant thattheir team was heading straight for the second round of the newcomer contest.

The members of the red team rushed towards Rocky, one elated face after the other.

But before they could reach him, he silently disappeared.

Since all of the items were found, the first round of the newcomer contest came to an end. Once allfour teams left the Mirage Maze, they assembled at the entrance where the announcement wasmade. The red team and the blue team were qualified for the second round, where they would meetin a melee.

In the next round, all the disciples would gather in an arena and fight each other until only thirty-two disciples were left standing. The remaining disciples would enter the third round. Compared tothe previous team-centered challenges, this round would be more brutal and barbaric since thewheat would be separated from the chaff—the strong would be separated from the weak.

In preparation for the next round the following day, the qualified disciples left the Mirage Maze andreturned to their dormitories to recuperate.

Rocky planned to do the same. He tried to be as discreet as possible but was stopped after a fewsteps by a delicate figure.

“Miss Carla. What can I do for you?” Rocky immediately recognized her.

“Well... I just wanted to say... thank you! If it wasn't for you, the red team wouldn't have been able toproceed to the next round." Carla's face blushed as she expressed to him her gratitude.

“There's no need to thank me. You also did your best, didn't you? Go back and get a good rest,”Rocky replied indifferently as he brushed past her.

Carla felt a little uncomfortable with Rocky's disinterest. She was the daughter of the powerful YuClan of the Sky-suppressing Sect. All throughout her childhood, she was spoiled by everyone andrelentlessly pursued by countless admirers. Many men wanted to flatter her and couldn't resist hernatural charm. They took her very seriously, but Rocky proved to be quite the opposite. He didn'teven want to talk to her which made her feel somewhat empty inside.

However, it further piqued her curiosity. Intuition told her that Rocky held many secrets as seen bythe mystery he always left behind with each personal encounter. She wanted to unlock and unveilthose secrets.

“Miss Carla! Miss Carla!” Lyric called out to her while such longing thoughts still relentlessly swamthrough her head.

“What?” she asked once she came back to her senses.

“What were you staring at? I've called out to you a thousand times!" Lyric curiously asked.“Nothing. Let's go.” Carla shook her head as the two of them left.

Meanwhile, Rocky bumped into Eunice on his way back to the disciple dormitory. She had beenwaiting for him but he didn’t know for how long.

"Why aren't you in bed resting?” Rocky asked her.

“The premium grade swordsmanship of the Sword Spirit Sect is quite compelling. It could annihilatetwo premium grade spiritual beasts at once. It appears I've greatly underestimated you.” In fact,once the blue team backed out of the competition, Eunice sneaked back in to observe Rocky andwitness him use the Thousand-star Swordsmanship.

“I originally wanted to keep a low profile. But if I couldn't make it to the second round, it woulddefinitely hinder your plan. I needed to go all out,” Rocky replied casually.

“You're right. If it wasn't for what you did, the red team would've been a lost cause. But you'll needmore power in the second round. Now that you've attracted lots of attention, you'll need to beready. You've become a walking target, but it doesn’t matter. All you need to do is ensure that I canmake it through the second round and get to the final round.” Eunice clearly had more confidencein herself. Moreover, she thought Rocky's win in the first round was just a flash in the pan. Thesecond round would be a test of endurance. She decided to persuade Rocky into helping her getinto the third round by teaming up.

“I see.” He nodded and then went straight into his room without uttering another word.
