Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 203 Spirit Possession

"Uriah, are you really hurt badly on the inside?" Rocky asked with concern. He remembered the timewhen they had gone to capture the two Dark Heaven Insects at Carcass Valley. At that time, in orderto protect little Rubygon, Uriah had to withstand a huge attack launched by the Dark Heaven Insectat the second grade of the three-star level. After the fight, it didn't seem like there was anythingseriously wrong with Uriah. He had still fed it with some magical saliva. Due to its strong body, Uriahcould recover quickly even if it got seriously injured.

"It is suffering due to the recurrence of an old injury,” Sheridan revealed.

"An old injury?" Rocky's eyes widened in shock. He thought glumly, "Was this old injury caused whenUriah fought with the spirit-manipulated beast of the Heavenly Stage at the Witch Palace? After thatfight, Uriah was indeed hurt seriously. If any other spirit-manipulated beast had been hurt like that,it might have died soon after. Only beasts like Uriah could survive after experiencing an intensefight like that." Uriah had recovered soon after that. So, Rocky had assumed that nothing wentwrong. But now, the old injury was causing trouble for Uriah.

"You should have paid close attention to it. I don't have to tell you this. You know what a spirit-manipulated beast means to a spirit manipulator,” Sheridan said with a frown.

Rocky felt really annoyed, but he couldn't say a word in return. It was his negligence that had led toa recurrence of Uriah's old injury. There was no way that he could have known that there wereinjuries that couldn't be cured by magical saliva.

The truth was that no matter how effective the magical saliva was, it still couldn't compare to thereal magical saliva that could resurrect the dead. Also, Uriah was only a beast at the second grade ofthe three-star level. Hence, the magical saliva created by it had limited effects. But Rocky knewnothing about this.

"Can it be cured?" Rocky asked with concern in his eyes.

"It's not easy. If we had identified this wound earlier, it could have been cured easily, without a trace.But we are only seeing this now. Adding new injury to the old one has made the situation evenworse. If your spirit-manipulated beast didn't have a good physique, I can't even imagine whatsituation it would have been in now.’ Sheridan's countenance became severe.

"Do whatever you must. Please save it," Rocky said in a low whisper. Uriah had always accompaniedhim everywhere he went and never abandoned him. So, Uriah was very important to him. Without it,he wouldn't have been alive today. They shared a deep bond. To Rocky, Uriah was not just a spirit-manipulated beast; it was his only family and his best friend.

"There is a treatment. But it's a little dangerous... Do you know about Spirit Possession?" Sheridaninquired.

"Spirit Possession?" Rocky repeated. He had heard of it. He had also witnessed the Spirit Possessionadopted by Tasha, a beautiful genius from the Magic Phoenix Empire when he had contestedagainst her at the Dragon Birth Festival of the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Spirit Possession is a secret technique that combines a spirit-manipulated beast with the body ofthe spirit manipulator and thus becomes a single being. As is known by most people, SpiritPossession is extremely dangerous, although your power would be dramatically increased afterbecoming one with your beast. However, if you don't have sufficient power to control and curb thepower of the spirit-manipulated beast, trying to acquire this kind of technique would be likewelcoming death with an embrace. This isn't known to many, but the Spirit Possession techniqueisn't created by a spirit manipulator. It is the work of a beast evaluator, well-versed in veterinarymedicine. In the beginning, this technique was used to cure the diseases of the spirit-manipulatedbeasts by exerting spiritual power on it. But later, spirit manipulators adapted this technique, andcalled it Spirit Possession to blend their power with that of a spirit-manipulated beast,” Sheridanexplained.

"Are you saying that I have to use Spirit Possession to cure Uriah?" Rocky asked.

"That's right. You're not too dumb after all! After you and your spirit-manipulated beast becomeone entity, you could perceive where the injury of the beast is, and then cure it using your spiritualpower," Sheridan said, nodding every now and then.

"Well, how do I reach the state of Spirit Possession?" Rocky enquired.

"Once you feel connected to your spirit-manipulated beast, that is, when you feel that you are onewith your beast, and if you and your beast trust each other, there is a chance for you to achieve thatstate. I can teach you the mental method of Spirit Possession. Of course, I can only teach you howit's done, but whether you can do it or not depends entirely on you. An ordinary spirit manipulatorcannot easily reach the state of Spirit Possession. Generally, only a spirit manipulator with the powerof the spiritual race can achieve it. That is, only royal spirit manipulators can reach the state in theHoly Dragon Empire. In-born gift and aptitude are required to learn Spirit Possession. As far as Iknow, very few ordinary spirit manipulators have reached the state,” Sheridan explained.

"And you should also remember that the first time you reach the state of Spirit Possession will bethe most dangerous moment. If the spirit-manipulated beast declines to combine with you, it willlead to serious consequences. Especially now, since your beast is injured, it is not a good time foryou to carry out Spirit Possession with it. If something even slightly goes wrong, both of you willlose your lives. Do you really want to learn Spirit Possession to save your spirit-manipulated beast,despite the threat to your life?" Sheridan stared at Rocky with his cloudy eyes.

"Threat to my life?" Rocky sneered. He had done crazier, more dangerous things so far in his life.This was just a piece of cake for him. He wasn't scared of anything, as long as Uriah could be cured.Sheridan was shocked by Rocky's reckless endeavor to save his spirit-manipulated beast. This wasnot a common behavior observed amongst ordinary spirit manipulators. Most of the spiritmanipulators would be reluctant to risk their lives to save their spirit-manipulated beasts.Manipulators could just get a new beast if their spirit-manipulated beast died, but a spiritmanipulators life was irreversible.

"Fine. I'll teach you the mental method. Listen to me carefully,” Sheridan continued. Then, he beganto teach Rocky the mental method of Spirit Possession.

Rocky learnt it by heart, and said to Sheridan, "Thank you for the favor. I owe you one." After that,he left with Uriah.

"Boy, show me what you can do," Sheridan said with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Spirit Possession was a dangerous practice. Combining the power of a spirit-manipulated beast withthe spirit manipulator would produce destructive power. Thus, the process couldn't be carried outindoors. It would cause a huge commotion in the military camp. Taking into consideration the safetyof everyone, Rocky went back to the house, took Rubygon and sneaked out of the military camp tothe Ghost Village.

After arriving in Ghost Village, Rocky went to the nest to see the three Dark Heaven Insects. He alsobrought two carts of fertile soil to them. After that, he came out of the nest.

Rocky and Uriah went to the center of the village after making sure that Rubygon stayed away fromthe scene.

"Are you ready?" Rocky asked Uriah

The wounded beast grumbled weakly.

Rocky began the mental method of Spirit Possession. The spiritual power at the second grade of theEarthly Stage burst out, making the surrounding shine like the sun.

At that same time, detecting the power from the mental method of Spirit Possession, Uriah sparkledwith an iridescent light, which added radiance and charm to the light which came from Rocky.

In the end, Uriah became nothing but a blurry light, as it started to combine with Rocky as anentirety.

Due to the serious injury, Uriah's spiritual power was a little weakened. Uriah became unstable afterits spiritual power became a blurry mist, and the light coming from the beast started to turn dimand then bright, and then dim again. Thus, the possession was extremely slow.

Rocky detected the spiritual power from Uriah merging with him and noticed that the verydisorderly force of Uriah was declining his spiritual power. It impacted his body negatively time andtime again.

A war was being waged inside Rocky's body. As Uriah's spiritual power gradually combined withRocky's, the war field expanded too. Soon, the conflict spread throughout his body. All he could dowas try to combine their spiritual powers to the maximum and quickly reach the state of SpiritPossession.

Uriah's spiritual power was not yet weaker than Rocky's. It was not a simple task to combine theirspiritual powers.

As time passed, Rocky broke out in a cold sweat, turning extremely pale. He felt like numerousbombs were going off in his body, the impact destroying his organs and breaking him apart.

Rocky had only managed to combine half of the blurry mist, which was Uriah's spiritual power, andthe impact it had on his body was too strong and obvious. If he combined all of the beast's spiritualpower, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him.

But no matter what happened, he had to persevere until the Spirit Possession was complete.
