Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 299 Supervision On Rocky

Not aware that he was being watched, Rocky followed the spirit manipulator who was at the thirdgrade of the Earthly Stage. If everything went according to plan, the confused fighting would end intwo hours. If he could stay hidden and safe until the end of the two hours, he would be qualified toproceed to the second round.

At that same time, in other areas of the bamboo forest, some spirit manipulators consumed muchof their spirit energies to launch powerful attacks against each other.

At the end of the first hour, three spirit manipulators below the skill of deputy commanders hadbeen eliminated for being knocked out or simply running out of energy.

But changes were unexpectedly happening within the bamboo forest.

Dunn of the east-southeast military camp combined forces with another spirit manipulator fromtheir camp. Dunn was a spirit manipulator of the ninth grade of the Earthly Stage and with theircombined strength, no one was stupid enough to dare go against them. A third spirit manipulatorfrom their camp soon joined them. At this rate, their group was likely to grab three of the sevenpositions who would make it to the second round.

However, the three camps originally having two participants, including the northeast military camp,had only one deputy commander left now. Therefore, the three deputy commanders agreed to joinforces in order to survive.

Two other military camps including the eastern mountain military camp that originally had threerepresentatives found themselves in dire situation for their individual members failed to replace eachother in time.

Therefore, except Rocky and the spirit manipulator that Rocky used as bait, there were now foursub-teams in total inside the bamboo forest. If they confronted each other, the number ofparticipants would drop sharply. Even if only the two teams with two spirit manipulators wereeliminated, Rocky could effortlessly manage to enter the second round.

However, if Rocky encountered any one of the teams except the team of three deputy commanders,he would be caught in a grim situation.

And since only seven spirit manipulators would make it to the next round, once any one of the foursub-teams encountered another team, they would fight fiercely to ensure their place among theseven who would be qualified to enter the next round.

The spectators all knew what went on inside the bamboo forest in real time.

"Why is Rocky not allied with Deputy Commander Chen?" Marin asked in confusion as she heardabout the development of the contest.

"Does he act alone all the time? What is he thinking? Unless he is lucky enough to avoid the otherteams, he stands to lose no matter which team he encounters!" Isis exclaimed. She was surprisedthat Rocky decided to fight alone. Based on the current developments on the situation, Rocky'sdecision was not wise. But Rocky was a man who never acted based on what everyone else wasdoing.

Out of nowhere, the people felt a cold gust of wind. A figure suddenly appeared beside Lance andthen whispered in his ear.

This figure was Lance's personal bodyguard. The people who saw the figure assumed that Lancemight've sent him out to carry out an important mission and was now reporting back to Lance."That lad is so smart! He even uses another spirit manipulator as his bait to avoid more powerfulopponents. However, if he manages to enter the second round so easily, I will feel cheated!" Lancepaused for a moment and seemed to give the situation some thought. He then turned to the figurewho stood beside him, "Proceed as planned.”

The figure nodded and disappeared without a sound.

Isis and Marin stared at each other when they heard Lance's voice.

"What are you up to, father?" Isis asked. She knew her father well and she knew that the primarypurpose of the competition was to discover Rocky's true skill level and potential and then topromote him. It then stood to reason that Lance would not allow Rocky to move to the next roundwithout a fight in the second half of the first round.

"Father, you seem unsatisfied with his performance so far," Isis said thoughtful.

Lance turned to glance at his daughter. A mischievous smile was on his lips yet he said nothing. Hestood up without warning and stepped forward a few steps. His body was suddenly surrounded byan intense bluish light that represented his intense spiritual energy which was at the Divine Stage.The people who saw this display of power were immediately amazed.

In the blink of an eye, a gale materialized in the middle of the bamboo forest that shook everythingwithin the forest.

Lance then raised one of his hands and his spiritual energy moved like small waves that overlappedeach other continuously.

"Water Mirror Illusion!" Lance exclaimed. The aqua blue spiritual energy that built up in his handflew to the air and formed a water mirror which showed an empty bamboo forest.

The commanders and the officials seated behind Lance were all startled and confused.

The Water Mirror Illusion was a spiritual martial arts skill that could be used at a range of a fewhundred meters. The mirror was formed from the moisture in the air of the bamboo forest todisplay what went on inside the bamboo forest.

It consumed a large amount of spiritual power. Thus, Lance never used it under regularcircumstances. Those who knew about the mirror wondered why Lance used it now considering itconsumed such a large amount of spirit energy and now showed only an empty bamboo forest.After a few moments, the figure of a man appeared in the water mirror.

"Isn't that the breeder from the northeast military camp?" someone said when he recognized Rockyin the mirror.

The commanders and officials started to whisper among themselves. They never expected that thepurpose of using a technique that consumed a lot of spiritual energy was to merely watch Rocky.Isis and Marin also looked puzzled. The suddenly had a feeling that something terrible was about tohappen to Rocky.
