Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 60 The Useless Prince

"Oh, I know who he is! He is the useless prince! Why does he come here?"

"I don't know either. He doesn't even reach the third grade of the Mortal Stage. Why would it behim who goes up for the last round? Did the Holy Dragon Empire make a mistake?"

"Yeah, maybe you are right. How could he possibly compare with the phoenix spirit manipulatorsfrom the Magic Phoenix Empire? They can probably defeat him in the blink of an eye! Holy moly! Heis just going to make this situation way uglier!”

"Look! He doesn't even bring his war beast! Does that mean he's trying to surrender right from thestart? Or maybe he doesn't even have a war beast of his own? That's just embarrassing!"

People began murmuring among themselves.

Even the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was surprised to see Rocky coming up in the lastround.

"Priest Dean, what happened? What's the reason behind this?" the emperor looked at Priest Deanand asked him with worry.

"Your Majesty, I shall explain everything later," Priest Dean whispered. Because Felicia was present atthe area, Priest Dean didn't tell the emperor beforehand that Marcia requested for Rocky to join thecontest. As he expected, the emperor was caught by surprise the moment he saw that Rocky waspresent.

The emperor could tell Priest Dean was caught in an awkward situation. To add to that, Felicia satright next to him so the emperor decided to put a stop to the topic and merely nodded at PriestDean instead.

"What is this piece of crap doing here? Does the whole Holy Dragon Empire run out of other spiritmanipulators?" Alston whispered furiously.

But when Lena saw Rocky, she immediately had stars in her eyes. Of course, she didn't know thatRocky's presence in the contest was made possible by Marcia so she thought it was because Rockyfought for himself. It made her feel really happy for Rocky.

"Oh! Is he the royal spirit manipulator who acquired the dragon spiritual power from the HolyDragon Bead? The players from the Holy Dragon Empire who came before don't seem to be the onewho has fused with the Holy Dragon Bead. Could he be the one? But he looks so weak. The otherplayers look way stronger than him," Erica questioned with a face full of doubt.

"Well..." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire was tongue-tied and embarrassed after hearingErica.

"Sorry, Miss Erica! The one you just mentioned doesn't join the game because he has anotherbusiness he has to take care of," Priest Dean explained at once to save the emperor from furtherembarrassment as he nodded at him to let him know he had his back.

The emperor also understood that if they found out about that the one who gained the dragonspiritual power from the Holy Dragon Bead was only a spirit manipulator at the second grade of theMortal Stage, it would be regarded as a laughing matter that would soon get spread around theMagic Phoenix Empire.

"Oh yeah? Then the game shouldn't be any interesting," Erica said arrogantly.

"Erica! Don't be so rude!" Felicia reminded.

"Never mind. She's right. The last player isn't any better than the ones from earlier," the emperorconfessed.

"It might be too early to tell. The last ones are usually the best ones. He maybe not as weak as heseems," Felicia said. She felt something strange about the emperor's attitude. The Holy DragonEmpire knew very well that the Magic Phoenix Empire was way stronger than them. Why would theylet a weak player go on the final round? It was rather unexpected. But the trace of spiritual powershe felt from Rocky was faint and weak. It somehow made her think that that the emperor wasn'tlying.

“Then what could the Holy Dragon Empire be planning?’ Felicia wondered to herself.

As the people kept murmuring among themselves, Rocky had reached the venue and calmly stoodin front of his opponent.

The phoenix spirit manipulator who just defeated Bear was a man. "Oh, man! Isn't there nobody elsefrom the Holy Dragon Empire? Now you pester me with a weak spirit manipulator who probablyisn't qualified to join this contest. Ha-ha! How could you be so silly? And you didn't even take yourwar beast with you!? Are you planning to forfeit before the fight even starts?" the man talkedarrogantly as he made gestures with his hands.

"Forfeit? Ha-ha! You listen to me very carefully! If I lose to you today then you can just walk all overmy dead body," Rocky sneered at him.

"You!" The phoenix spirit manipulator glared at Rocky after he heard him.

"Oh, man! I can't stand you anymore! Can we just start the game already? If I had to see your facefor one more second, I would surely have nightmares tonight!" Rocky said with scorn.

His words ignited the fire of rage in his opponent's chest. The two-star war beast beside thephoenix spirit manipulator let out a raspy roar. And in only a matter of seconds, it rushed righttowards Rocky. It moved at lightning speed as it flapped its claws fiercely.

Simultaneously, the phoenix spirit manipulator raised up his hands. The second he clapped hishands, a streak of faint silvery aura fluttered in the breeze that was targeted at Rocky without himknowing.

Rocky didn't move a single inch. He stood still and stayed motionless.

Everyone around them was getting anxious and nervous for Rocky.

"Has he frozen in fear already? Why isn't he making any actions?"

"What a useless and timid asshole! It shouldn't be a big deal! It's only a little contest!"

"Ha-ha! If I were him, I would just kill myself to spare myself from all the embarrassment..."

The sarcastic voices echoed among the audiences.

"Basil!" Lena was getting nervous as well. She didn't understand why Rocky refused to make anyactions at all.

"Is he actually trying to kill himself? Is that how he wants to go?" Erica sneered. She thought thatRocky had given up.

While everyone was puzzled by Rocky's frozen state, an unexpected change happened. The momentRocky summoned his dragon spiritual power, the Dragon Spirit Mark around his left arm began tosparkle. What used to be a weak trace of his dragon spiritual power began to rise within a splitsecond. It seemed that his spiritual power had increased to the third grade of the Mortal Stage.Nobody could believe what they saw with their very eyes.

Mia who was standing in the rest area was dumbstruck in amazement. "How could that even bepossible!? When did he reach the third grade of the Mortal Stage? And why haven't I noticed it atall?"

The young men behind Mia, including Bear and Flint, were caught off guard as well. None of themknew how and when Rocky reached the third grade of the Mortal Stage.

Meanwhile, the emperor and the others nearly jumped out of their skin when they saw what washappening, especially Priest Dean whose jaw almost fell to the ground.

But they still thought what Rocky did was all in vain. After all, his opponent almost reached the fifthgrade of the Mortal Stage and had defeated Bear with ease. There was no way he would havetrouble with Rocky.

Rocky knew well what the audiences were thinking. All of a sudden, the light around his left armdazzled brightly. His strength had now increased to the fourth grade of the Mortal Stage.

It all came out of the blue and none of the spectators expected any of it!

"Wow! That's truly surprising!" Erica marveled with her wide eyes. She knew that the way she initiallythought of Rocky had changed.

Who could have possibly known that the useless princess could reach the fourth grade in the blinkof an eye? Nobody had expected it to happen at all.

The daunting situation that the Magic Phoenix Empire predominated the game seemed to beoverturned soon.

That phoenix spirit manipulator was also stunned by Rocky. As he still froze in shock, Rocky flashedaway and succeeded in dodging the war beast and the spiritual martial arts attack. In a split second,Rocky had disappeared from his vision.

"Hey!" Rocky patted his opponent's shoulder to show that he was already behind him.

But it was already too late before the phoenix spirit manipulator could react. Rocky raised a fingerand channeled his spiritual power to its tip as he pointed at his opponent's chest. As soon as hisfingertip touched the phoenix spirit manipulator's chest, the powerful spiritual power began toinvade his body. He was thrown away in an instant as he fell to the ground with a loud bang. Hestruggled to try and stand up for a while but failed.

Rocky's surprise attack caught everyone off guard. Silence filled the air. Nobody could believe thatRocky just won against the phoenix spirit manipulator. What they found much harder to believe wasthat the useless prince just knocked down a formidable opponent with ease and in such fashion.
