Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 182 A New Identity

Rocky bowed his head and whispered in Marin's ear.

"Would those arrangements be possible?" Rocky asked. He looked at Marin, crossing his arms overhis chest.

"Yes, I will arrange for it,” Marin hastily replied, blushing. It took a while for her to regain control ofherself. Then she cleared her throat and took a step back to distance herself from Rocky. She wasrather perplexed that when he had come close to her, she felt a strange feeling stirring within her asher stomach rippled gently. She was a little uneasy about this.

"Well then. We'll leave you now, Commander.” Rocky nodded and walked out of the tent with Sue."Mr. Bai, what did you say to Commander Marin? Why did she look a little weird?" Sue asked out ofcuriosity when they were out of the tent.

Rocky ignored her question, as something had suddenly come to mind. Worriedly, he asked,"Where's Little Rubygon, Sue?"

Sue's eyes twinkled with a smile. She untied her worn-out cloak to reveal Little Rubygon, which wassleeping soundly in her arms.

"Oh, how adorable that is!" Seeing this, Rocky was unable to stifle a laugh. Regardless of everythingthat had taken place in the past few hours, Little Rubygon still slept so peacefully. It was really quitefortunate that Rubygon was so obedient and calm, or its appearance would have surely caused asensation

"Let's go to my room first," Rocky said to Sue and led her to his quarters. However, they drew a lotof unusual looks all the way.

"Mr. Bai, why are they staring at us?" Sue asked. She instinctively huddled closer to him, feelinguncomfortable and frightened.

"Because they are all hungry wolves. Upon seeing a pretty lady such as yourself, they are itching tocatch your attention,” Rocky replied with a mean smirk.

"Don't make fun of me!" Sue pouted, her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at him. She felt ratherembarrassed. But it was not long before her eyes quickly lost their spark once more. Morosely, Suesaid, "Grandpa is gone. What will I do all by myself?"

"I've asked Commander Marin to arrange a place for you. When you get there, you can start a newlife,” Rocky said and gave a soft sigh.

"Where shall I go?" Sue asked while looking up at Rocky.

"I don't know yet, but I'm sure she'll know of somewhere safe and pleasant,” Rocky replied gently."So that means I can't see Little Rubygon anymore," Sue said, frowning sadly.

"Don't worry, Sue. I'll make you a promise, alright? When I have time, I'll take Little Rubygon to seeyou," Rocky comforted her.

"Really? You better keep your word! Let's call it a deal.” Sue stared at him earnestly, her eyes wideopen with innocence and sadness.

Rocky smiled gently and nodded.

When they arrived at his quarters, they were greeted by the sight of Thor, Joss and Uriah."Captain!" Thor and Joss exclaimed happily, rushing over to him in a fit of excitement. All was notlost. Fortunately, Rocky had escaped by the skin of his teeth by the plot that Evan and DeputyCommander Chen had set into motion. It was definitely a cause for celebration.

"Why are you so happy?" Rocky darted a strange look at the two. Obviously, Rocky felt a littleuncomfortable before their sudden ardor.

"Captain, we're happy that you were cleared of wrongdoing. We were always sure that the captainof our sixth squad would never do such a thing. Matthew and those self-righteous people arealways playing the tyrant at will. How dare they do such a thing? Captain, you really gave them whatthey deserved!" Joss shouted passionately. Matthew and his friends had bullied Joss endlessly, so itgreatly gladdened his heart to see Rocky dole out some karma. What was even more unexpectedwas that Matthew had been executed!

"Captain, would you introduce this lovely girl to us?" Thor asked, grinning at Sue.

"What's wrong with you? Well. I have another thing to tell you. From now on, I'm not your captain. Ithink I've taught you well. You know how to take care of yourselves,” Rocky said calmly and tookSue and Uriah into the room. Thor and Joss were left outside, looking at one another in speechlessshock.

After they entered the room, Little Rubygon woke up. Sue took it in her arms and played with it. Ityawned happily. As for Rocky, he sat aside and cultivated his power by closing his eyes andmeditating.

After a long time, someone knocked at the door. Rocky opened his eyes, walked to the door, andopened it slightly. It was a man sent by Marin to summon Sue to the battlefield.

Rocky turned to Sue, who was still gleefully playing with Little Rubygon. "Sue, it's time to go.”Hearing this, Sue raised her eyes to stare meaningfully at Rocky as she tightly embraced LittleRubygon. At long last, she stood up and left the room with great reluctance.

When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw Marin standing beside Verdanim, her war beast.Marin stepped forward to greet them and said to Rocky, "I've arranged everything well. You cancome stay with Sheridan at the beast farm and ask him to help you. It just so happens that I need togo to the headquarters, so I can give Sue a ride this time. You can rest assured that she'll be safewith me."

"Thank you, Commander. Please take care of her.” Rocky nodded. He looked at Sue with the lovinggaze of an older brother. "Don't be naughty. Take care of yourself, understand?"

"I know. You too. Remember to visit me," Sue replied while blinking up at Rocky. Her eyes shonewith tears, looking like diamonds.

"Let's go," Marin gently said. She held Sue's hand to boost her up with a jump onto Verdanim'sback, before getting on behind her.

"Goodbye, Rocky.” Sue waved her hand. Verdanim roared, taking off and soaring rapidly away,gradually becoming an invisible speck in the distance.

"So I can do anything I want now. I never expected that I would be endowed with such luck! Then Iwill have plenty of time to catch the Dark Heaven Insects and nobody can restrain me. This is betterthan I could have hoped!" Rocky muttered to himself after he saw Sue and Marin off. He couldn'thelp but smile, as this change in plan suited his own goals perfectly. He strode towards the beastfarm with his chin up.

'I suppose Sheridan must have been the old man I met before, * Rocky thought as he got close tothe beast farm.

The reason why Rocky asked Marin to transfer him to the beast farm was far more than to be anidler. His Magical Evaluation Skill was only at the second level and he even wasn't able to evaluatethe natures of Uriah and Little Rubygon, let alone spirit-manipulated beasts at higher levels.Therefore, he knew that he really had to promote his level of beast evaluation. Naturally, the beastfarm would be the best place to practice the Magical Evaluation Skill. Since he had no chancebefore, he had to conceal his real power. Though his real power had been exposed, it seemed thatMarin didn't have any intentions of investigating the origin. Thus, Rocky would certainly made fulluse of the rare opportunity. He knew that only with a stronger, more formidable power could hesurvive in this dangerous place.

At the beast farm, Rocky saw a short figure being busy with something. After looking at him for agood while, Rocky was sure he was the old man he had met before.

"Sheridan?" Rocky called as he walked over.

"You are... I remember you. You've been here once.” Sheridan looked at Rocky and recognized him.Rocky looked Sheridan up and down, something he hadn't had time to do the last time. He had abig head and a square face. Based on the normal body proportion, his head was too big and hisbody was too small, and his face featured heavy eyebrows, small eyes and whiskers. Sheridan wasdefinitely out of the ordinary. However, Rocky noticed that Sheridan's eyes were so sharp andpiercing that he guessed Sheridan must have seen much of the world.

Rocky hadn't really seen anyone who looked like him before, so he stared at him, rather curious."Commander Marin asked me to come to you," Rocky said.

"I know. You're the new breeder she mentioned. Follow me, lad,” Sheridan said gruffly. Withoutlooking at Rocky, he turned away into the beast farm.

"Breeder? When did I say I wanted to be a breeder?" Rocky was stunned for a moment. On secondthoughts, he realized it was Marin who had made this decision. He had no choice but to roll with itnow. Rocky had indeed said that he wanted to work at the beast farm, but didn't think that she'dassume that he'd want to be a breeder here. Though he was a bit displeased, he still followedSheridan inside, shaking his head the whole time.

At present, the beast farm was full of spirit-manipulated beasts. It could be roughly estimated thatat least thirty to forty spirit-manipulated beasts were kept here. They howled constantly, creating acacophony amidst the stench of muck and dung. However, his eyes running down them, Rockyfound most of them were at very low levels. Upon his entrance, the first spirit-manipulated beast heencountered glared at him with its large eyes open wide.

"Your job is to feed the spirit-manipulated beasts and bathe them. You also need to clean up thebeast farm to keep them healthy and energetic so that they can assist spirit manipulators to carryout their tasks. Their food will be sent by specially-assigned persons, so you just need to distribute itto their stalls. It's fairly easy. By the way, the spirit-manipulated beasts are easy to get..." Sheridanled Rocky, showing him around the beast farm. He pointed out particular residents, telling himsome points for attention for the different spirit-manipulated beasts.

"I see," Rocky replied. Actually, he didn't concentrate on the spirit-manipulated beasts and paid littleattention to Sheridan's words. He was far from being enthusiastic about being a breeder, so he hadno interest in learning the knowledge about feeding them.

"I have to go now. You look after the beast farm,” Sheridan said. It seemed that he fully trustedRocky. With a curt nod, he turned around and left.

When Sheridan left, Rocky unlocked the door of a stable and walked in, smiling playfully at asecond-star spirit-manipulated beast.

The spirit-manipulated beast was immediately on alert and stepped backwards. It was extremelyafraid that the strange man would do something cruel to it.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want to touch you..." Rocky said in a playful tone. Then hestretched his left hand shining with the spiritual light and got close to the second-star spirit-manipulated beast, whose eyes widened in fear.
