Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 205 He Was Quite A Character!

However, it had been a time of war during the last few years. Several big wars had broken out fromtime to time. Therefore, the four major military groups had definitely suffered inevitable losses interms of their royal spirit manipulators. As a result, the general number of the Holy Dragon Empire'sroyal spirit manipulators was decreasing constantly. Yet, only 30 new royal spirit manipulators couldbe recruited each year due to the strict selection process. Obviously, such a small number was notenough to supply the increasing demands for the royal spirit manipulators.

The Holy Dragon Empire, as well as other empires, regarded the spiritual manipulators whoinherited the power of the spiritual race as the best of the best. Considered the cream of the crop,they were looked up to as an elite force. For example, the Magic Phoenix Empire had the phoenixspirit manipulators, and the Timber Deity Empire had the timber spirit manipulators. These elitespirit manipulators were all strictly protected and carefully overseen by their own empire. Theircultivation was of the highest priority. In fact, it could be said that the number and strength of theseelite spirit manipulators were also the embodiment of an empire's strongest combat power.

At that moment, Rocky, who was in the Spirit Possession state, had the power of both an ordinaryspirit manipulator and a royal spirit manipulator, which was considered something quite impossible.Generally speaking, the ordinary spirit manipulator couldn't have the power of the royal spiritmanipulator, while the royal spirit manipulators couldn't have other powers except for the dragonspiritual power.

However, Rocky had managed to combine both. How could he make the impossible happen? Itowed to the fact that he was once a formal royal spirit manipulator. The red light in the spiritualflame was also a part of the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, which appeared before Marcia sealedit. Thus, although Marcia sealed the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body, the spiritual flamethat produced the spiritual power was somewhere deep within him. The red light in the spiritualflame was also retained in his body.

After he started the Spirit Possession, a kind of magic where the spirit manipulator could fuse withspirit-manipulated beasts and possess their power, the red light lurking in his body was activated bythe special capability of the Fire nature in Uriah's body. What all this indicated was that Rocky hadthe special ability to manipulate the nature of Fire from then on. As an ordinary spirit manipulator,Rocky had the ability to manipulate the nature of Fire. Such a unique situation only happened oncein a blue moon.

Obviously, Uriah's injury turned out to manifest as a new opportunity for Rocky to strengthen hispower. How lucky he was!

Rocky, who figured out his good luck, immediately put on a sly smile. Obviously, he had a plan. Hesuddenly jumped up and waved his hands to launch the power of the red light and the Vast NebulaSkill directly toward an empty house in the Ghost Village. It was apparent that he wanted to test thepower of his newly regained ability. He grinned with satisfaction. It was clearly visible that the twodifferent spiritual powers were intertwined in the air. One was misty like nebulae, while the otherwas red like burning flames.

Bang! In the blink of an eye, the house was easily razed to the ground after only a second of beingattacked by the two spiritual powers. It turned into a large, blackened crater, with dust and smokerising from its depths. It was as though an asteroid had landed! The attack combing the impact ofthe nature of Fire was quite powerful.

Although Rocky still had some doubts as to why his spiritual flame had such a weird transformation,he was now relieved to replace out that this peculiar change was not a bad thing.

Of course, Rocky didn't know at that moment that the odd changes in his spiritual flame were alsorelated to the Holy Dragon Bead. The mystery of this artifact was that it would offer a spiritmanipulator unlimited possibilities. If Rocky would be able to regain the power of the Holy DragonBead, he would then understand that more surprising changes would be coming his way in thefuture.

The state of Spirit Possession couldn't last too long since the activation of such a skill consumed thespiritual power of a spirit manipulator. Thus, Rocky soon stopped his testing. He had to catch upwith time and start curing Uriah's wound at once.

Soon, in the curing process, Rocky found that Uriah's wounded body part turned out to be its ownspiritual source. The spiritual source of a spirit-manipulated beast was equal to the spiritual flame ina spirit manipulator. The main difference between the two was that the spiritual source of a spirit-manipulated beast was just like its heart. Even though part of the spirit-manipulated beast's bodywas injured or fatally wounded, as long as its spiritual source was well-preserved, then there was stilla good chance that the spirit-manipulated beast would still be saved due to the strong healingpower of its spiritual source. But if its spiritual source was destroyed, no matter how strong thespirit-manipulated beast's body was, it would die in the end. Much like a functioning bodily system,if the heart died, the other parts would go down with it despite being healthy.

Therefore, the damage of the spiritual source was a very serious matter, which could not be restoredby its own resilience or the amazing effect of the magical saliva. The only way to cure the damagedspiritual source was by Spirit Possession, which meant using the spiritual power of a spiritmanipulator to cure it.

However, almost all of the spirit manipulators didn't know the importance of the spiritual source.Rocky had only found out about its importance after he activated the Spirit Possession anddiscovered that Uriah's damaged part was its spiritual source. He remembered having read recordsabout it in the Beast Encyclopedia.

Rocky was truly fortunate to have got to know the inscrutable old man, Sheridan. Without hisguidance, Rocky would never have discovered Uriah's problem and cured it so quickly.

However, Rocky himself also made a great contribution to such an achievement, because this SpiritPossession was a skill that was not easy to grasp. Especially if an ordinary spirit manipulator wantedto learn it, the amount of time and effort it demanded was almost tantamount to chasing after anunrealistic dream. Unexpectedly, Rocky was able to accomplish such a laborious task by virtue of hisamazing perseverance and determination. Of course, if he had still been a royal spirit manipulator, itwould have been a much easier task. It was a pity that the power of his Holy Dragon Bead wascurrently sealed. Thus, he had no way but to make greater efforts and costs before he was able tohelp cure Uriah miraculously.

Rocky then began to use his own spiritual power to repair Uriah's damaged spiritual source. He wasdetermined to do his best to cure his beloved war beast. After all, Uriah was his faithful companionwho had followed him through most of his difficult journey.

The Spirit Possession lasted less than an hour. Once it was completed, Rocky clearly felt his spiritualpower was about to be completely depleted. Thus, he immediately stopped the activation of theSpirit Possession. The next second, a light shadow abruptly emerged from his body and landed onthe ground.

"Uriah..." Rocky called to the shadow. Uriah looked much better than before. The curing methodrecommended by Sheridan had worked wonders indeed.

However, because Uriah's spiritual source had been badly injured twice before, it was still notcompletely recovered. If Rocky wanted to completely cure its injury, it would take some more time.Now that he had already grasped the Spirit Possession, it would not be a big problem to help Uriahfully recover. Both of them just had to be patient.

After that, Rocky returned to his room in the military camp with Uriah and Rubygon. After feedingUriah some magical saliva, he put it near Rubygon and then went to the beast farm alone.

"Hey, young man, look at your sorry face! You seem to have failed," Sheridan said immediately whenhe saw Rocky's blank face.

"Well! I'm dismayed to replace out that you were hoping I'd fail. I initially came here to thank you foryour help. Now it seems I'd better not," Rocky said calmly as he crossed his arms around his chest."Thank me? Do you mean that you have succeeded? How can it be possible? Even for a prettytalented royal spirit manipulator, it would be practically impossible to succeed with just one try!Several attempts would normally be made before being able to accomplish such a hard task!"Sheridan said hesitantly, scratching his head with perplexity. In the beginning, he just wanted totease Rocky. But he hadn't expected Rocky's response. He expected the young man to returndejected!

"You don't believe that I was able to do that, right?" Rocky asked at once. The corners of his mouthtwitched and curved up in a faint smile.

"Of course I didn’t! In my lifetime, I have only seen three ordinary spirit manipulators who cancomplete the Spirit Possession. Young man, if you really did it, I will immediately accept you as mydisciple!" Sheridan exclaimed, squinting at Rocky and trying to discern if he was playing tricks."Accept me as your disciple? What benefits will I get if I become your disciple?” Rocky asked insurprise. Such an idea had never crossed his mind before.

"Have you heard of Priest Dean from the Holy Dragon Empire?” Sheridan couldn't help but ask."Priest Dean?" Rocky repeated coldly as he narrowed his eyes. Oh, he knew Priest Dean alright. Hehated him with all his heart! If it were not for Alston and Priest Dean, he wouldn't have endured thetorment! Rocky's face showed a hint of anger.

"He's an old acquaintance of mine. We used to be fellow disciples of the same master. I was a seniordisciple while he was a junior disciple. Our master was good at Beast Evaluation Skill, Beast TamingSkill, and Beast Curing Skill. Priest Dean was more talented in beast evaluation. Thus, he onlyfocused on the Beast Evaluation Skill, while I focused on the Beast Taming Skill and Beast CuringSkill. Well, don't think I'm boasting or anything like that. The reality is that there is only a limitednumber of people who are better at the two skills than me in this Wild Spirit Land. Or in otherwords, I am one of the best beast tamers and beast curers, even though these two have becomequite unpopular occupations now. Despite that, even the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire hasinvited me to the Palace City a few times to raise the high-class spirit-manipulated beasts for theroyal family.” Sheridan said with a proud look on his face.

Listening to Sheridan's exciting retelling of his proud story, Rocky finally realized that the old manwho kept such a low key actually had quite a noble character with a strong background! Howfascinating!
