Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1694 Being Recognized
The Potent Force Rune was a unique treasure that Gilbert owned. It had been condensed using hissecret skill, the Potent Force Technique. Because of his hard work, the power behind each rune wasequal to his own. However, in order to make a single Potent Force Rune, it needed to be refined forat least a month, which meant that it took the power that Gilbert had accumulated over threemonths to condense three runes. They were very precious.
Gilbert's strength was above the Shura Realm, which made the Potent Force Rune a powerfulspiritual treasure in an ordinary master's eyes. Although each one could only be used once, it was anessential form of protection.
"l will use them carefully," Rocky said, taking the runes without hesitation.
Later, the other elders gave him some pills and powerful, one-off spiritual treasures. The othermembers continued to fill with jealousy.
Because Valeria had already been prepared for the task in the Nether Fire Land, Elder Leticia onlyhad to give her simple instructions.
"It's time to go!" Looking all around him, Rocky saw all the guards gathering and several giant birdscircling above them.
"Wait a moment. To ensure a smooth arrival to the task, my sister will be leading the guard team.She should be here soon," Gilbert said.
As soon as Rocky heard that, he grew slightly worried. He had forgotten for a moment that Gilberthad a sister and that he had saved her. There was no reason for him to foresee her arrival.Fortunately, he had changed into a human skin mask, and Vivian hadn't seen his real face becauseof her coma. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any problems.
The moment Gilbert finished speaking, a petite, silver diabolic beast that was shaped like a grifreplaceived down from the sky. After it landed, a beautiful woman in a white robe stepped delicately ontothe ground. She was tall and sported an attractive face and a wild aura. She had arrogance thatcould match a queen's. All the members of the Shura Race were ready to submit to her if she wereto ask.
She was none other than Vivian, the sister of the leader of the Ghost Fief.
"Greetings, Miss Vivian..." everyone, except for the elders, greeted.
Vivian was much younger than Gilbert. They shared a father but their mothers were different people.Gilbert's mother had died when she was young, and then Gilbert's father had married Vivian'smother. After Gilbert took over the position of the leader of the Ghost Fief, his father took Vivian'smother and showed her the world. At that time, Vivian was still under age, but that didnt stopGilbert from treating her strictly. The moment that Vivian reached adulthood, Gilbert shipped her offto the border for training. Therefore, she was molded into an extremely cold, indifferent person,similar to an assassin. Now, she was one of Gilbert's most trusted people.
In fact, anyone could see that Gilbert was preparing Vivian to be the next leader of the Ghost Fief.Gilbert cultivated the royal family's Potent Force Technique all year round. It made him all powerfulbut it had a side effect. He could never have children. Now, Gilbert worried that an outsider wouldbecome the next leader, so he intentionally raised Vivian for the job.
It was no longer a secret in the leader's mansion, and everyone there treated Vivian with respect.She was already like a leader in their eyes.
Vivian looked at everyone that was present and nodded slightly. Then she approached Gilbertwithout looking at Rocky. It seemed like she didn't recognize him.
"When will we leave?" Vivian's face was cold and her voice was emotionless.
"I was just waiting for you. We're ready now. But hold on. You haven't met the Godly Genius yet.This is..." Gilbert turned to face Rocky. After Vivian was poisoned, she had secluded herself to heal. Ithad only been three days since she finished the process. Straight away, she had received an orderfrom Gilbert that she must lead the guard team and escort the Godly Genius to the Nether FireLand, so she hadn't gotten a chance to meet Rocky, the newly appointed Godly Genius, yet.
A few seconds later, Vivian glanced at Rocky and said in a callous tone, "It's the first time I've seensuch a weak Godly Genius..."
Everyone that was present took a deep breath and held it in. It was obvious that Vivian was trying tocause problems.
Of course, she had reasons to resent Rocky. She wanted to participate in the selection of GodlyGenius this year, but she had been poisoned and injured, so she had missed it.
If Vivian had taken part in the competition, there was a chance that Rocky would not have beenchosen to be the Godly Genius. Therefore, her displeasure was warranted.
"Miss Vivian, everything you just said is true!" Valeria yelled as she stood beside Elder Leticia. Herface had lit up with interest. Normally, a person like Vivian wouldn't treat a Godly Genius like that.The interaction was amusing to Valeria.
Gilbert stared at Vivian with surprise. He didn't think she would utter words like that in public. Hisface darkened and he was preparing to remedy the dispute when Rocky spoke. “I've heard that youare a straightforward person. It turns out that it's true. Compared to you, I'm indeed a little inferior,so please take good care of me on this journey..."
Everyone was even more surprised to hear how humble and amiable Rocky's response was. Theywondered if he really was a good-tempered man and if he would really let Vivian bully him.
"Well, I've heard that you are Esteban’s disciple and that your medical skills are very good. It musthave been you who detoxed me when I was poisoned, right?" Vivian uttered. Some small gaspswere heard from the audience.
"What? Miss Vivian was saved by the Godly Genius when she was poisoned!"
"I heard that the poison that was absorbed into Miss Vivian's body was extremely vicious. Very fewpeople in the entire Shura Race could remove it..."
"The Godly Genius really has mastered the medical skills that Esteban taught him!"
Now, amazement and awe were spreading like wildfire throughout the crowd. No one had expectedthat Rocky had been the one who had rescued Vivian.
Valeria, who craved seeing Rocky in an awkward position, became very quiet.
Rocky was stunned, wondering how Vivian knew that he was the person who had removed thepoisonous substances from her body. He was wearing a human skin mask now, and even if hewasn't when he treated Vivian back then, she had been in a coma. There was no explanation for howshe recognized him. Even the middle-aged woman who had brought Vivian to Rocky had only seenhis human face, not this one with the mask. He was stumped.
Nevertheless, Vivian knew. If he denied it now, her doubts surrounding him would increase.
"I didn’t think you would recognize me. How did you know who I was? I didn't look like this when Isaved you. I was practicing disguising myself as a human being..." Rocky admitted with a smile.
