Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 37 Let Me Try

Rocky was about to take out the Beast Encyclopedia when the morning siren set off from afar.

"Time flies so fast." Rocky just realized that it was already morning and the siren meant thateveryone else was about to get up. He also had to go to kitchen to help with breakfast preparations,otherwise Mia would punish him more severely for cutting corners.

Actually, he was having a hard time with Mia since his very first day in the dragon field. But now thathe didn't have the energy to deal with her, he had to keep a low profile.

Growing so big in such a short time, Uriah would draw suspicion if it was brought back so Rockydecided to keep Uriah in the bamboo grove to keep it from being seen. Later on, he went back tohis room to get his practice uniform and headed to the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, Rocky ran into Mia who seemed to be lost in thought over something."Master Mia..." Rocky greeted Mia as he came up to her.

Mia responded with a slight nod, "Your punishment is over. Return to the dragon field.”

"Really?" Rocky was surprised by Mia's sudden display of mercy because his punishment only lastedfor a day before he was told to return to practice. He even considered studying the BeastEncyclopedia while doing his errands in the kitchen

"What are you still doing here? Move!" Mia shouted at Rocky as she saw him still standing there."Right away.” Rocky turned around and left. In his present cultivation stage, Rocky should not getaffected by his absence from basic training at all. The current practice was mainly for improvingtheir physical strength. With the magical saliva, he could improve his strength several times strongerthan what they could achieve from basic practice.

The reason why Mia freed Rocky from the punishment was never out of kindness. It was because ofa secret letter she received from the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire after leaving the GrandHoly Hall. What was stated in the letter made her break her rules and decided to keep the secretletter to herself. She knew that the contents of the secret letter could dramatically overwhelm thewhole royalty.

Seeing Rocky suddenly return, people began discussing and wondering about the possible reasons."Aren't you supposed to be in the kitchen for your punishment? What are you doing in here?"Curiously, Flint asked Rocky when he was passed by him.

"Who knows, just as I was starting to get lazy.” Rocky shrugged his shoulders as he headed into theline with a grin on his face.

Mia soon presented herself in front of the young group.

"You have already been in the dragon field for quite a long time, and now I think you already knowthat being a spirit manipulator is not as easy as you thought it would be. And what you have done isjust the beginning. Starting today, we will double the intensity of your training. Anyone who can'tfinish their training will not get fed,” Mia sternly announced.

The young trainees began complaining that the practice was already too hard for them and it wouldbe impossible for any of them to finish their training if its intensity was doubled. And failure tocomplete it meant they wouldn't be given their meals.

Mia checked out the young trainees and clapped her hands as a huge bronze tripod weighing sevento eight hundred pounds was dragged by a deputy. It was as easy as pulling a plate for him. Whenhe placed down the tripod, the tremendous sound violently made the ground tremble.

"Your current challenge is to lift this bronze tripod. If you can lift this tripod right now, you will befreed from one month of training. Just so you know, among all the green royal spirit manipulatorswho I've trained before, only ten were able to lift it before leaving the dragon field while the restfailed. One of them is someone you all know, Shirley from the Ximen Clan. And she is also the onlyone who lifted this bronze tripod with only her fifth grade of the Mortal Stage. Typically, only peoplewho are at least at the seventh grade of the Mortal Stage are able to barely lift the same bronzetripod. So it's virtually impossible for any of you to lift this tripod right now,” Mia declared to themas she pointed at the tripod.

People roared when they heard the name of Shirley. They couldn't help but take a closer look atBear. Coming from the Ximen Clan, Bear was also the strongest one among the royal spiritmanipulators of that year. It was only him who could possibly lift the tripod.

Watched by so many people, Bear channeled his confidence and then raised his hand saying,"Master Mia, I know my gift and potential are probably worse than Shirley, but I still want to give it atry if you would allow me."

Mia approved his request with a nod.

Bear climbed the stage and stood in front of the bronze tripod. He then bent his knees slightly whilereaching his hands to the bottom of the tripod and took a deep breath. Right away, he applied thedragon spiritual power to lift the tripod using all the strength he had in his arms. The bronze tripodswayed a little and was gradually lifted above the ground.

The crowd was taken aback as they wondered if Bear could actually break Shirley's record with hisstrength only at the third grade of the Mortal Stage.

Silently, Mia was shaking her head knowing that he wouldn't make it.

Soon, Bear suddenly swayed and the tripod fell on the ground with a loud bang.

Even in his failure, Bear received a loud round of applause.

Several other people also tried but even making the tripod move the slightest bit was extremelydifficult for them. Bear was, without a doubt, the best among them.

"Anyone else? Alright, training begins now," Mia said to them as she thought that no one else wascoming up. Suddenly, a voice came, "Master Mia, lifting the tripod means one month of exemptionfrom training, right?"

Drawing all the people's attention, the voice came from none other than Rocky. Although Rockyastonished people with his skills the last time, people doubted his ability to lift that tripod knowingthat he was only at the second grade of the Mortal Stage and that he had a weaker physique. It wasabsolutely impossible for him.
