Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1526 Hayden's Trick Failed

Hayden, from his seat in the audience, smiled sinisterly. In exchange for killing Rocky, he gave thedisciple in yellow a magical pill made by the Summer Palace. This pill was meant to increase hisstrength and speed, which was why the disciple took it without hesitation. What he didn't know wasthat its potential side effects were to make the taker go berserk and lose control like a beast.

Of course, when Hayden had given him the pill, he didn't tell the disciple about its side effects.

Just as Hayden had planned, the disciple in yellow began to show symptoms of the side effects.

If Rocky was killed by this out-of-control disciple, it would be attributed to his bad luck. No onewould look into it. Hayden would get away with murdering Rocky easily.

Rocky, who could see the craziness in the disciple’s eyes, dared not let his guard down. The discipletried to pounce on him like a mad dog, carelessly and clumsily. Rocky narrowed his eyes at him. Hecould tell something was wrong. However, in the eyes of the onlookers, the disciple in yellow wasjust attacking with all his might; they didn't notice how he was out of control.

'He must have taken some sort of pill to strengthen his body," Rocky figured. “Little did he know thathis clever trick would backfire on him like this..." However, Rocky knew that if he didn't end thebattle immediately and get this disciple some help, he would be lost forever. Time was of theessence

Expression grim, Rocky suddenly stopped moving and faced the coming opponent head-on. Whenthe disciple in yellow saw this golden opportunity, his hands turned into massive claws. In the blinkof an eye, two huge claws appeared by Rocky's sides, poised to rip him apart.

However, Rocky didn't even attempt to dodge. Instead, he took a step forward. All of a sudden, astrong spiritual power rushed out from his body and collided with the two huge claw shadows. Astrong wave of spiritual power swept over the arena under the impact of their collision.

But soon, the power of the massive claws grew stronger. Just as it was about to slash Rocky intoshreds, something remarkable happened. A sword shadow suddenly appeared behind the discipleand knocked him on the back of his neck. Eyes rolling to the back of his head, the disciple thenfainted on the spot.

All the people in the audience were in a daze. In their eyes, the disciple in yellow just collapsed outof nowhere since they didn't see how Rocky had attacked his opponent.

With the disciple in yellow lying on the ground, he began to twitch violently and foam at the mouth.A tutor of their school immediately flew into the field and checked the situation of the disciple. Hesoon found that the spiritual power in the disciples body had completely lost control and that hewas spiraling into madness.

"Fortunately, you defeated him in time," the tutor told Rocky seriously. "A moment longer, hismeridians would've been torn apart!"

"Sir, please heal him as soon as possible; he might've taken some sort of pill or elixir,” Rockycautioned.

The tutor nodded and took the disciple in yellow off the arena to begin the healing process.

All the while, the crowd had been watching in silence, totally stunned by what had just happened. Itwas only when Rocky had walked out of the arena did the crowd burst into an uproar of confusionand awe.

"Damn it! The secret pill didn’t work!" Hayden cursed. Frustrated with the outcome, he left hurriedly.Once Rocky had left the battlefield, Eunice approached him.

"You're amazing," she said sarcastically. "You managed to defeat a disciple who's stronger than you.In such a short time, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds." Her tone was laced withshock and confusion. She eyed him suspiciously, wondering how he had grown to be so strong in soshort a time.

"Isn't this why you asked me to enter the Sky-suppressing School with you?" Rocky cocked hiseyebrow at her. "So that if the both of us make it to the final battle, I'd let you win and you wouldbe the champion. And if you didn't make it, I would complete the task on your behalf. Isn't it goodto hit two birds with one stone?"

"Even so, I feel like you're keeping me in the dark here..." Just then, it dawned on Eunice that shewasn't in control of Rocky. He kept doing things that were beyond her expectations.

"Don't worry," Rocky said mischievously. "I'm not hiding anything. Plus, you saved my life!"

His words sent a shiver down Eunice's spine. She couldn't help but feel a bit worried. After all, it washer mission to enter the Sky-Suppressing School; she wanted everything to go according to plan"Anyway, don't be too reckless. If your opponent in the next round is stronger, just quit right away.Got it?" Eunice ordered coldly.

"What?" Rocky frowned. "Are you sure you want me to quit?" Of course, Rocky didn't want to quit.However, if Eunice insisted, he would give in. After all, he still needed her to inquire about the newsof Marcia and the other warriors from the Wild Spirit Land for him.

"Just do as I say," Eunice said seriously.

"Fine." Rocky crossed his arms over his chest.

Eyeing him warily, Eunice then turned around and left.

Rocky didn't loiter any longer and soon left as well.

The other three matches ended just after noon. The two other winners aside from Carla had SpiritualInfant at the primary stage, so they weren't too strong.

Soon, matches for the second round were announced. Rocky and Carla would fight against theother two disciples with primary stage Spiritual Infant.

Two hours later, the second round began.

"I can't just quit,” Rocky muttered to himself when he saw how much weak his opponent wascompared to him. Winning would be too easy. Thus, he decided not to quit until he faced Carla.

It wasn't hard to imagine the result of the second round.

Because he easily won two rounds of the competition in a row, Rocky garnered a lot of attention. Itwas unsurprising he was now regarded the dark horse among the newcomers.
