Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1525 Something Was Wrong

For the next competition, the disciples were then divided into two groups of eight. The finalistswould be determined from the two groups.

Of course, it went without saying that the newcomer disciples who had made it thus far wereundoubtedly powerful. It was believed that Moore would win the championship, though Carla alsohad a fighting chance. After all, the two of them were the strongest throughout the newcomercontest. They weren't in the same group, which meant it was likely they would be the ones facingeach other in the final battle.

However, there was also talk of a dark horse among the top sixteen disciples. Eunice was thecandidate, since she was one of two new disciples who had made it to the last rung of thecompetition. She managed to stand out even though she was new; anyone could see that she wasextremely talented.

The other new disciple was Rocky.

Although Rocky had a very remarkable performance in the second round, especially when hedefeated three disciples at the medium stage of the Spiritual Infant like Hayden. The matter was notknown to many people in the Sky-suppressing School, because Hayden had already sent people toseal off the news from the public. And the masters of the school didn’t spread the news and justpretended that the matter didn't happen, due to the suppression from the force of the SummerPalace. As a result, almost no one knew how strong Rocky was. In their opinion, it was pure luck forhim to become one of the top sixteen disciples, and he would soon be eliminated in the followingcompetition.

The two groups of disciples were to fight one-on-one battles. Rocky's group went first.

Inside the competition area, four arenas of the same size were lined up one by one. Outside thearenas, a sea of people had gathered to watch how the competition would unfold.

The four battles in the first round of the competition would be held simultaneously. The determinedwinners from those battles would then move on to the next round of the competition in theafternoon. From there, the finalists would participate in the last battle.

Therefore, each round was incredibly important to the sixteen disciples. They could afford nomoment of carelessness, and would have to fight to the best of their abilities with each round if theywanted to make it to the final battle.

Just then, the eight disciples from the first group were preparing for the first round.

Unfortunately for Rocky, his opponent was a disciple with Spiritual Infant at the medium stage. Hewas one of the only two disciples at that level besides Moore and Carla.

"No wonder Eunice asked me to not take this fight so seriously,” Rocky said with a smile, eyeing hisunexpectedly powerful opponent. "She didn't think I had a chance!"

Rocky's opponent, the disciple in yellow, also stared at him, but his eyes were hostile, as though hehated Rocky from the depths of his being.

Rocky, noticing his opponent's death glare, immediately figured out what that meant: the disciple inyellow was working for Hayden.

Just as Rocky had guessed, Hayden watched the two from his seat in the audience, smiling sinisterly.Squinting at Rocky's figure, he sneered, "Finally, that brat will get what he deserves!”

Half an hour later, the four battles in the first round of the competition began

The eight disciples, including Rocky, all entered their respective arenas, preparing to fight againsttheir opponents.

Rocky faced the disciple in yellow and bowed slightly.

"Let's begin!" Rocky said, cupping his hands politely.

The disciple in yellow also raised his hand as though to return the gesture, but instead, he launcheda surprise attack. That left Rocky with no time to respond. Before he knew it, the disciple in yellowhad his arms raised like wings, white spider threads shooting out madly. In the blink of an eye, thespider threads had coiled around Rocky's hands and feet, restricting his movements.

Rocky narrowed his eyes and struggled to break free, only to replace that the threads were gettingtighter and tighter.

"Humph, don't even try," the disciple in yellow sneered. "At your level of strength, there's no wayyou can break out of my spider threads. But that doesn't mean I'll let you surrender right away. Afterall, Master Hayden asked me to teach you a good lesson!" With the flick of his wrist, the threadswrapped around Rocky felt like sharp blades, slicing into his clothes.

In everyone's eyes, it seemed Rocky had no choice but to wait helplessly until he was totallydefeated.

Disappointed, the audience started booing. They all felt Rocky was too weak and was unworthy tobe among the top sixteen disciples.

Even Eunice shook her head. At that rate, Rocky had no way to turn the tables. After all, hisopponent's strength was above his. Moreover, he was not prepared for the spiritual skill used by hisopponent. The result was not hard to imagine!

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, the Mystical Dragon Sword on Rocky's backsuddenly buzzed and was unsheathed. Several rays of sharp sword radiance flashed out from it,slicing the threads that were wrapped around Rocky's body.

The crowd broke into an uproar. The spider threads were so tough, ordinary Spiritual Weaponscould not cut them off. However, Rocky's seemingly dull huge sword made it look so easy!

Without a moment to lose, the Mystical Dragon Sword then whizzed through the air, aiming straightat the disciple in yellow.

The disciple had been under the impression he'd defeat Rocky with one fell swoop, so he was notprepared for Rocky's counterattack. Before he even realized what was happening, the MysticalDragon Sword rammed into him.

A strong spiritual light flashed, momentarily blinding everyone watching. When their vision cleared,they found the disciple, flung back ten meters, kneeling on the ground and spitting blood.Everyone was stunned. No one saw that coming.

They didn't expect Rocky was so remarkable. Not only did he emerge from the first attackunscathed, but he also managed to seriously injure his opponent!

"Why do I get the feeling that this guy grew stronger the past two days?" Eunice couldn't help butmutter.

On the arena, Rocky watched his opponent calmly.

"Damn it!" The disciple in yellow spat, obviously humiliated. After all, he was injured by a newdisciple who was weaker than him. In his anger, the spiritual power in his body grew irritable. Hiseyes were instantly bloodshot, and a black gas suddenly started to enshroud his body. Everyonewatching trembled with fear.

Rocky frowned slightly. Something was wrong with his opponent...

Sure enough, the disciple suddenly roared and pounced on Rocky like a wild beast. At the sametime, his originally pure spiritual power was filled with the strong evil aura, which indicated he wasspiraling into utter madness.
