Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1804 In Vain

"Gloria won't warn Valeria. It seems that I will have to go to Valeria and Lilith myself.” Since Rockyhad already finished his business here, he hurriedly left and disappeared.

First, Rocky went to see Lilith. As she was practicing her spiritual skills in her yard, he appeared toher as Basil.

Upon seeing him, Lilith could not help but blush a little. "Basil, it's already too late. Why are youhere? Anything happened?”

"Why? Can't I come and visit if I don't have anything important to discuss with you?" Rocky askedwith a gentle smile.

"Um, do you want to go inside first?" Lilith asked in a shy tone.

"No. It won't be necessary. After all, I won't be here for long.” Rocky shook his head as he refused.Moreover, he also thought that it would be inappropriate for him to enter Lilith's residence this latein the night.

"Okay then." Realizing what a gentleman Rocky was, Lilith looked up to him with an inexplicablebrilliance in her eyes.

"By the way, I just want to know. Why you gave up the fight earlier today?" Rocky asked out ofnowhere.

"Hmm, no reason really. I just don't want to fight against you,” Lilith answered honestly. Besides, shealso knew that Rocky should be much stronger than her. Hence, she did not want to waste boththeir time and hurt each other in the process.

"Really? That's it? Well, anyway, thank you for doing that.”

"Ha-ha. There is no need for you to thank me. In fact, I already told you that I don't care muchabout the result of the Spiritual Emperor Contest. If it were not for my father forcing me toparticipate, I would not even want to be here. But of course, I really found the trails in the HolyHeaven Palace to be worth it!" If there was any consolation for her participation in the contest, itwas the experience and attainments she acquired from the Holy Heaven Palace.

"I see. It is surprising that you have this kind of thinking at your age.” Rocky actually appreciatedLilith's attitude because she knew what really was important.

"When you say it like that, you sound like an old man,” Lilith complained as she put her hands onher waist.

Hearing this, Rocky smiled inwardly. After all, the experiences he had in his entire life were notactually in line with his current age.

"Also, you did not come just to thank me, right? It's okay. You don't have to beat around the bush.”Obviously, Lilith was smart enough to comprehend that Rocky had something else to tell her if hehad to come and see her at this time.

"Yes. I am actually here to warn you to be extra careful in your next matches. They might not be verymerciful to you,” Rocky reminded as neutral as he could sound.

"I see. Of course, I will. Thank you for your concern.” As Lilith saw the serious expression on Rocky'sface, she knew that there must be a specific reason why he was warning her. But since he tried tosound rather vaguely, she was sharp enough to assume that he could not freely tell the reason. So,she decided not to pry anymore.

"That's all. I'll take my leave." Afterward, Rocky turned around and eventually left.

While looking at Rocky's back, Lilith was a bit lost in her own thoughts.

Then, soon enough, Rocky also appeared to Valeria but as Odin this time. He also told her the samething that he had told Lilith.

The following day, the battles commenced.

This time, Rocky's opponent was a high grade Spiritual Emperor from the Sovereign Pavilion namedIker. He was a famous poison master in the Ethereal Region

However, as they met inside the stage, Rocky could immediately tell from lker's eyes that he hadenormous killing intent. Hence, he knew that this battle would not be as easy as the previous ones.This time, he was facing a powerful premium-stage Spiritual Emperor who was ready to kill hisopponent.

At this point, Rocky had already won three consecutive matches. Since he was only supposed to bea medium-grade Spiritual Emperor, many people saw his performances as quite abnormal.Therefore, in this match, there were even more people in the crowd, curious to see if Rocky couldreally emerge as the dark horse of the competition.

Soon enough, the gongs rang out, signaling the beginning of the battle. As expected, Ikerimmediately launched a series of powerful attacks right from the start. He constantly unleashed hishidden weapons that were stained with poison and threw them at Rocky.

The most frightening thing about Iker was not his poisonous hidden weapons but that his spiritualpower was also poisonous. Therefore, even if Rocky was fast enough to dodge the weapons hurledat him, he also could not easily approach Iker because he would be poisoned by his spiritual power.Moreover, Iker's poison was so potent that it could penetrate one's skin and enter the bloodstream.Once that happened, it could instantly affect the circulation of one’s spiritual power and weakentheir strength. Worst, his opponent could be poisoned to death in just a few moments.

Therefore, it would not be that easy for Rocky to make a move and deal with Iker.

Of course, with Rocky's current strength, he should be naturally immune to all kinds of poisons.However, he could not expose his real strength in front of the crowd this early. So, for now, he couldonly dodge lker's weapons and spiritual power with all his might. He wanted to deceive theaudience and even Iker with his acting.

After quite some time, Iker was still doing his best to suppress Rocky through his hidden weapons.At the same time, Rocky also pretended that he had been losing ground, unable to fight backanymore.

Seeing this disappointing scene, the onlookers started to shake their heads. They thought that thismust have been Rocky's limitation and real strength. They assumed that Rocky was just able to winthe previous rounds because of sheer luck. But now that he had encountered an opponent that hecould not even get near to, they all thought that he was doomed.

"Iker's fighting style is really troublesome for his opponents. He can completely suppress them justby using his poisonous hidden weapons!"

"We must have been wrong all along. It seems that Basil is not that powerful!” "Well, he is just amedium-grade Spiritual Emperor. He must have been just lucky to win three consecutive battles.After all, it is impossible to easily defeat someone much stronger than him."

"One thing is clear. I think his streak will end this time!"

At this time, among the onlookers that were discussing with each other were the representativesfrom various forces. These people had a better understanding of one's strength, so they were notjust blindly judging

Of course, for Iker, he was also confident that he could defeat Rocky. Moreover, he was extradetermined because it was Holden's order to replace an opportunity to kill Rocky. Even if he could notkill Rocky, he could at least make him disabled for life.

For this reason, Iker had crafted and prepared a very unique kind of poison. The moment thispoison made contact with Rocky, it would penetrate his meridians and destroy them in less than tenminutes. Consequently, his spiritual power would be lost, making him unable to become a warrioranymore.

Most importantly, Iker made sure that there was no antidote for this poison. Therefore, the momentRocky was poisoned, his victory was already sealed and his mission was completed.

However, the materials used to make this rare poison were also scarce. Hence, Iker only had onechance to use it.

But it seemed that he would have no problem replaceing the opportunity to use the poison. Under hisaggressive attacks, Rocky seemed to be getting weaker and weaker by the moment.

Deeming that it was already the perfect chance, Iker immediately shot out the sharp hiddenweapon, which was stained by the rare poison, to corrode Rocky's meridians.

The next moment, Rocky let out a scream while putting his hand on his shoulder. Afterward, heknelt on the ground as if he was actually hit by the poisonous hidden weapon.

Upon seeing this, the spectators instantly knew that the fight was done.

At the same time, Iker also sneered and was very pleased. After all, he did not realize that it was justa part of Rocky's convincing act. Not knowing that he was already caught in a trap, Iker immediatelyflew towards Rocky. Then, he raised his palm in the air, instantly manipulating a poisonous palmshadow to rush towards Rocky.

At this moment, Rocky was still kneeling on the ground, looking very weak and powerless. From theaudience's eyes, he was in a life-threatening position

However, just as the poisonous palm shadow was about to reach Rocky, his figure suddenlyflickered and vanished from where he was kneeling. The speed he exhibited was so fast that bothIker and the crowd were caught off guard.

Before Iker could react, Rocky had already appeared in front of him. Then, Rocky put his fingersbefore lker's face, showing that the poisonous hidden weapon that he had thrown earlier wasactually sandwiched between them. Furthermore, it was wrapped by a stream of spiritual power.Hence, it did not make contact with Rocky at all.

"You tricked me! You were not poisoned!” It was not until then that Iker discovered what Rockyreally did. He was just acting all this time that he was hurt by the poisonous hidden weapon.Realizing this, Iker wanted to get far from Rocky as quickly as possible. However, his face turnedghastly pale when he noticed that his body was not obeying his command and that it was so hardfor him to move. At this point, Rocky's overbearing spiritual power suppressed him.

Iker was so confused because he thought that Rocky's strength should not be that strong. Ofcourse, even though he wanted to figure out the reason why, it would already be meaningless.
