Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 321 Same Position

Now that the contest was finished, Rocky thought he could finally relax. Sadly, he was wrong.Despite the conclusion of the contest, he still had a lot of loose ends to tie up. The two beautiesstood before him were an excellent example. At any other time, he would've been accosted by twogorgeous women like Isis and Marin. But at that moment, he was a little scared by the strange glintin their look as they stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"What are you two planning?" Rocky stepped back with a shudder when they only leaned towardshim and looked at each other instead of answering him. He felt like he was a student once again,waiting for a punishment after he had done something wrong. Which was just wrong because hewas an adult who could control powerful beasts. He even crossed his arms defensively and puffedup his chest to cover up the discomfort he felt.

Isis and Marin rolled their eyes at Rocky's reaction.

However, Rocky's obvious discomfort made Isis realize as well the strange vibe that surroundedthem. Maybe she had stared too much. Isis coughed slightly to conceal her embarrassment. Shestraightened her posture as if nothing had happened, and made it seem like she was only there forimportant business. She took out a little bottle from her sleeve and handed it over to Rocky."What's this?" Rocky asked as he took the bottle from her and looked at it with doubt.

"That's a healing elixir, very effective for body injuries including traumatic and internal injury." Isisanswered in a casual way, acting as if she didn't care about it at all.

"That's the top elixir Isis treasures for herself.” Marin whispered to Rocky when her cousin wasdistracted. Rocky couldn't help but be amused at the duo's antics.

"You didn't have to, thank you!" Rocky didn't actually need any elixir no matter how powerful theeffects were because he possessed the magical saliva. Still, the bottle of elixir came from Isis so heaccepted it gratefully. He didn't want to offend her in any way.

"Rocky, do you have any idea what you did? Why did you continue fighting after getting badlyinjured? You don't have to risk your life. It's only a contest. What if you were disabled or even killedjust then? Did you even think about that?" It seemed that Marin merely gave Isis her time to speak,and now she deemed it her turn to scold Rocky. She really had been worried for Rocky during thematch, especially when she saw that Rocky was truly in danger. She could still remember how bloodrushed to her head and how her heart thundered in her chest.

"It's not a big deal!" Rocky answered nonchalantly, flapping his hand dismissively at them. At thecritical moment of the match, he had activated his spiritual power at the ninth grade of the EarthlyStage. That was the reason why he was able to turn the tables in the end, but it seemed that nobodyhad noticed it yet. This was good news for him, since it saved him the hassle of having to answerunavoidable questions from a lot of people.

"Can't you take this seriously? What about your family? Have you ever thought of what they wouldfeel if anything happened to you?" Marin roared at Rocky, his flippant attitude infuriated her evenmore that she already was.

"I don't have family!" Rocky answered her coldly. A hint of warning flashed in his eyes as ifthreatening them not to pry further.

Isis and Marin were both taken aback, seeing the change in his eyes.

"Well, just don't do such a thing anymore! You should take care of yourself." Marin said to Rocky.Her previously loud voice had softened as if in apology. She bit her lip in guilt, regretting her words.She knew she crossed the line even if she had good intentions.

"Let's go! Leave him here so he can rest first." Isis said to Marin. She glanced at Rocky but didn't sayanything. Together, they walked out in silence

Just as they had gone outside, the door burst open and Sheridan came in. He rushed hastily toRocky's side and felt his wrist for a pulse.

"Phew, what a relief! No internal injury! And still in one piece. Great! You're not going to die then,"Sheridan said, touching Rocky's chin. His hands were steady but his eyes wandered all over Rocky,looking for injury.

"I assure you that I will live safe and sound until you croak, old man! Ha-ha!" Rocky said in hisflippant manner as he rolled his eyes at Sheridan's nonsense.

"Good for you, man! You defeated Dunn, the strongest deputy commander in the Crimson DragonGroup. That's a great achievement. And I've also heard that Uriah leveled up during the contest. Isthat true?" Sheridan asked out of curiosity.

Rocky nodded at him, and turned to look at Uriah that was still sleeping in the corner. Sheridanfollowed his line of sight and saw the sleeping Uriah. The scales around its shell had changed into afiery ruby in color and Uriah had grown twice its previous size. Although it had already withdrawn itsflames that flourished during the contest, it did not look less formidable.

"It's indeed the Flaming Shell!” Sheridan marveled as he observed the sleeping Uriah.

"What did you just say?" Rocky asked with a perplexed look.

"Do you know about the Flaming-shell Tiger? That spirit-manipulated beast ranks number seven onthe Spiritual Beast List. It earned its fame and its name because of its flaming, red shell. The rubyshell of Uriah is extremely similar to the Flaming Shell. What's more, the fire Uriah's shell released inthe contest resembles the flames of the Flaming-shell Tiger. Your Uriah may be the descendant ofthe Flaming-shell Tiger," Sheridan suggested.

Rocky tried to remember the information about the Flaming-shell Tiger he had read before. As hecompared what he remembered and what he had seen, he could not help but agree with Sheridan.Uriah and the Flaming-shell Tiger did share many characteristics in common.

"I should study the new changes Uriah had undergone later.” Rocky murmured to himself.

"Where did you get this spirit-manipulated beast?" Sheridan asked.

"I just ran into it," Rocky lied. He didn't want Sheridan to replace out too much

"Bullshit!" Unfortunately, Rocky was a pretty bad liar. Sheridan immediately knew he was hidingsomething.

"Whatever! Do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave and close the door on your wayout. Thank you!" Austin didn't want to say it that directly, but he did want Sheridan to leave. If hestayed, Rocky was sure he wouldn't be able to rest properly.

He could see that Sheridan was reluctant to leave. They stared at each other in tensed silence beforeSheridan finally turned and left the room.

Now that Rocky was alone, he sat in bed with his legs crossed and took out his magical saliva. Hedrank it quickly and started meditating to hasten the healing of his wounds.

With the help of the magical saliva, his wounds were nearly healed overnight.

The next morning, Sue brought Rubygon over.

"Mr. Bai, do you feel better now?" Sue asked as she looked at Rocky worriedly.

"Yeah! I'm all right now." Rocky answered with a faint smile. It was a bit of a hassle to keep onassuring everyone he was alright, but he appreciated their kindness.

"I've heard what happened to you from Miss Isis. I've been wanting to see you since last night butMiss Isis told me that you needed to rest. I didn't want to disturb you so I came for a visit todayinstead,” Sue said, and her face scrunched up in worry.

"Never mind. I'm sorry I worried you." Rocky smiled at Sue kindly. He was about to say somethingelse when the door suddenly burst open

Marin entered the room authoritatively. She looked ready for battle except she carried a set ofclothes in her hands.

"Commander Marin!" Sue bowed to her immediately.

Marin nodded at Sue and then addressed Rocky, "How do you feel now? Do you still feel sore?""Yes, of course! I'm aching all over. Commander Marin, could you do me a small favor? I want amassage so badly!" Rocky said as a devious smile crept at the corner of his lips. He exaggeratedlywinced and whimpered suddenly, to gain her pity.

"Well, I don't mind. I could do you a favor... and send you to heaven now! Go change! And thencome with me.” Marin shouted at him and threw the clothes she was carrying to his face.

"To where?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Both you and Dunn were seriously injured yesterday, so the result hasn't been announced. They willannounce who can be promoted to the Frontline Commander today. Everyone has already gatheredup in the training field, waiting for you,” Marin explained and then she left the room with Sue soRocky could change.

Once Rocky finished changing his clothes, he walked out to join Marin

"Do you know what it means that you have won the contest yesterday?"

"Of course I know! Now I'm a Frontline Commander, the same position as you are,” Rocky saidproudly, puffing his chest out and smirking at Marin.
