Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1573 In Danger

"Okay," Maxwell responded.

His voice had barely faded away when he suddenly screamed and all of his muscles startedtwitching.

"Is your body rejecting the gene?" Rocky asked, mostly to himself. That was the first time that hehad done genetic experiments on a human being. Although the new genes he had developedwouldn't have much impact on the main genetic sequences of a human and normally wouldn'tendanger their lives, he was still worried that something else could go wrong.

Therefore, in order to stabilize the rejection that Maxwell's body was currently going through, Rockytouched him and transferred some of his spiritual power over.

Moments later, he realized that the spiritual power that he had poured into Maxwell's body wasbeing absorbed too quickly.

Rocky bent over and looked closely at Maxwell's body. He discovered lots of big changes, especiallyin his meridians. He knew that an ordinary person's meridians were different from that of a spiritwarrior. A spirit warrior's meridians were much wider and thicker and they connected with eachother in a harmonious way.

Meanwhile, it looked like Maxwell's meridians were also widening. Before long, they were wider thana spirit warriors!

"Is his body experiencing extreme mutation because of the new genes?" If that were the case, Rockywasn't sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

For the sake of safety, Rocky had to withdraw his spiritual power. Seconds later, it appeared thatMaxwell's condition had slightly improved, but his body was still undergoing changes.

He had also fallen into a coma.

It took more than twenty hours for his physical changes to cease. Rocky stood guard beside him thewhole time and checked his body, and the results he saw were even more surprising.

Rocky gasped. Judging from the width of Maxwell's meridians, he had reached at least the primarystage of the Spiritual Infant.

In other words, Maxwell hadn't needed to cultivate for a long time to broaden his meridians andhold more spiritual power. He would only need to adapt to his new body and strengthen hisphysical cultivation. There was a chance that in a few months, he could move straight to the primarystage of the Spiritual Infant.

"This is a blessing in disguise,” Rocky murmured to himself. He had expected his geneticexperiments to be successful, but he had no idea that they could reach such limits.

Not long after, Maxwell woke up.

"How long... have I slept?" he mumbled, thinking he had been asleep the entire time.

"It's been half a day. Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Rocky asked, stepping closer to him.

"No, I'm fine. In fact, my body feels super light..." As Maxwell spoke, he propped himself up with onehand, nearly causing his head to hit the ceiling.

His eyes were wide as he looked down at Rocky. After landing back on the ground, he looked at hishands and feet in a panic.

"The experimental genetic modification performed on your body was successful. Now, you havedirectly acquired the physique of a spirit warrior. That means you won't have to build a foundationlike an ordinary spirit warrior in order to break through to the Spirit Realm. Your physique is alreadyon par with a Spiritual Infant at the primary stage,” Rocky explained.

"A Spiritual Infant at the primary stage? Really?" Maxwell knew plenty about the levels of the spiritwarrior, so he was aware that the primary stage of a Spiritual Infant was a point in which no ordinaryspirit warrior could get past.

"Why would I lie to you? Besides, this doesn't mean that you can just rest easy. You still have tocultivate hard. After all, you don't have a solid foundation yet. And you have a lot of things to do toreach the next level. But don't fret. I will give you some guidance,” Rocky said with a smile.

"Thank you, Rocky.” Maxwell smiled back.

After that, Rocky taught Maxwell the most basic cultivation method of the spirit warrior, and alsogave him some pills to replenish the spiritual power in his body.

The meridians and spiritual power at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant could not becompletely replenished overnight. Since Maxwell was a beginner, he had to gather them slowlyusing his cultivation. None of it was intended to be a race.

After that was settled, Rocky sent Maxwell out of the Magic Spiritual Space and left him on his own.Then he made his way back to the camp. As soon as he entered it, Kye approached him and said,"You're here at the right time. Commander Wang just sent word that there is a mission and he'sasked us to come to his camp..."

"Okay." Rocky nodded and walked with Kye to Tucker's camp.

As they walked through the curtain of the camp, Rocky saw Tucker and a man who wore similarclothes and had the same aura as Tucker. Apparently, he was also a commander.

"This is Commander Ling. He is stationed at the front line,” Tucker said, pointing at CommanderLing.

"Commander Ling." Rocky and Kye cupped their hands and bowed.

"There is no need to be so courteous,” Commander Ling said, waving his hand.

"Commander Ling and I are friends and he came here to ask for our help,” Tucker told them, cuttingright to the chase.

"He needs our help?” The second they heard that, Rocky and Kye knew that a hard task was aheadof them.

"Recently, the defense line of the western region that is stationed by Commander Ling has beenattacked by some spiritual beasts. Now the front line is in danger. These spiritual beasts have unitedand don't intend on backing down. We think that they have been manipulated by the spiritual race.Commander Ling's soldiers have tried relentlessly to solve this problem, but to no avail. So theycame to the Tiger Whisker Pass to discuss it with me. Basil, you seem to have lots of experience infighting spiritual beasts. Maybe you can help Commander Ling,” Tucker explained, turning to faceRocky. Suddenly, all their eyes were on him.

"Okay. I will try my best to help you!" he responded.

"Thank you, Basil. Could you please come with me? We happened to catch one of the spiritualbeasts two days ago. Maybe you can replace some clues from it and figure out a solution for us,”Commander Ling said, cupping his hands.

"Sure," Rocky replied, nodding.

"But wait. Who will lead the team if Basil leaves?" Kye asked.

"You will. You are the acting captain in my absence,” Rocky answered, looking back at him.

"Well..." Kye felt a little embarrassed even though he was supposed to be the team leader.

"Perfect. Kye, you will temporarily act as captain while Basil is gone,” Tucker ordered at once.

"Yes, sir." Kye took the order.

After that, Rocky and Commander Ling climbed onto a flying beast and flew to the front line of thewestern region.

The region was an important military base for the human army in the border war. If the front linewere lost, it would directly threaten the safety of the Tiger Whisker Pass and other passes. NowRocky understood why Tucker had been so willing to send him there to help.
