Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 862 Don't Let Him Down

However, Tod was secretly glad that Lucilla hadn't been prepared for the Qi Clan’s tricks in thecritical battle. Unless something unexpected happened, the Cao Clan would definitely lose thiscompetition, putting them in a tough spot.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Freddy noticed that the participant the Cao Clan was sending onstage was Juey, of all people. "What? Isn't that Miss Juey of the Xiao Clan? Why is she being sent onstage? From what I heard, she doesn't know any Beast Curing Skill. Aren't you just sending her toher death? Lucilla, even though you are the chief of the Cao Clan, you don't seem to be worriedabout our clan at all. You've just set us up for failure by sending a girl who doesn't know the BeastCuring Skill at such a critical moment!" he exclaimed aggressively.

Lucilla's face darkened with a hint of embarrassment, but she had no words to offer in responsesince she had just blindly trusted Rocky without knowing his plan. She couldn't tell them the truth,either, because her uncles would use it as an excuse to ridicule her and take away her post as chiefof the Cao Clan.

"Lucilla, what do you have to say for yourself? If you don't give us an explanation, we won't let yougo. If the Cao Clan loses the Beast Master Contest this time, you better retire from your position aschief. Otherwise, we will have to invite all the elders of the clan and tell them what happened. Thatwill just cause embarrassment to everyone involved," Tod sneered, trying to drive Lucilla into acorner so that she would give up her position.

"Uncle, why are you being so unreasonable?" Lucilla gave Tod an exasperated stare.

"Lucilla, we're not the ones being unreasonable. You should take responsibility for failing the CaoClan!" Tod rebuked.

"Tod, this is not the time or place for this conversation. We can talk about it after the Beast MasterContest,” Lucas interjected, furious after hearing Tod's words.

"Very well, Master Lucas. When we return, we will surely tell everyone about this.” Tod's intentionwas to add fuel to the fire and to hold the advantageous position. Although Lucas supported Lucilla,the Cao Clan was probably going to lose the Beast Master Contest. Moreover, the Cao Clan hadalready been defeated by the Qi Clan many times so far, which was obviously the chief'sresponsibility.

Lucas just snorted and didn't respond.

As for Lucilla, she bit her lip hard to keep her emotions in check. Although she looked calm on thesurface, she was a little afraid in her heart. If the Cao Clan did indeed lose, her uncles would spareno effort to force her to give up her position of the chief of the Cao Clan. If that happened, the CaoClan would certainly fall into chaos.

There was a cold glint in Rocky's eyes as he stared at the waiting area where the Cao Clan was. Then,a wicked grin appeared at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he already had a plan.

The second round of competition began as Juey entered the ring.

Two spirit-manipulated beasts with injuries were brought out to the diagnosis tables.

The beast curer of the Qi Clan immediately executed his garish Beast Curing Skill and began todiagnose the spirit-manipulated beast in front of him

In stark contrast, Juey, who was standing on stage for the first time in her life, froze and lookedaround timidly. Her heart pounded in nervousness when she saw so many people staring at her. Itwas not until her eyes met Rocky's that she finally calmed down.

There was a hint of expectation in his eyes that lit a fire within her.

'He has done so much for me, so I can't let him down!" she told herself. Finally, she took a deepbreath and began identifying the spirit-manipulated beast in front of her.

However, in the eyes of the crowd, it seemed that Juey was just touching the body of the spirit-manipulated beast with her small hands instead of performing any Beast Curing Skill.

"What on earth is the Cao Clan's beast curer doing? She isn't even using any Beast Curing Skill...""If only I were that spirit-manipulated beast. It must be fantastic to be touched by those delicatehands of hers!"

"It seems that the Cao Clan has no talent at all if they're sending a beast curer like this to representthem."

As the crowd watched Juey, they began whispering in contempt among themselves.

In the waiting area, the Cao Clan members were all sitting stiffly. They all thought that it seemed likeJuey did not know anything at all.

At this time, Lucilla glanced at Rocky. Although she was just as worried as everyone else, shebelieved that Rocky would not have done anything to intentionally harm the Cao Clan.

From time to time, Lucas cast a glance at Rocky as well, always surprised to replace the unchangingcalm expression on Rocky's face. He didn't know what was on Rocky's mind either. How could Rockybe sure that the Cao Clan wouldn't be defeated?

Before the Beast Master Contest, Lucas hadn't had much hope for Rocky. However, after seeing hisamazing strength and excellent martial arts skills, Lucas had developed an indescribable trust in thisyoung man. Usually, he would never trust an outsider easily. After all, he didn't know where Rockyhad come from. However, he couldn't help but think that Rocky was a good lad.

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. A sharp, strange blade suddenly appeared in Juey'shand and directly cut open the body of the spirit-manipulated beast that had been fed withanesthetic on the table in front of her, splashing blood everywhere.

The stark contrast of a delicate girl cutting a beast like a butcher in full view of the public madeeveryone squirm in their seats.

Even the people of the Cao Clan blanched in shock. What Juey was doing looked more like murderthan treatment.

"What the hell is she up to? Since the Cao Clan was already going to lose miserably, did you justwant to make things worse?" Tod asked while looking scornfully at Lucilla.

Lucilla ignored him and shot a surprised glance at Rocky.

"Mr. Rookie, what do you think Miss Juey is doing?" Lucas couldn't help but ask Rocky.

All the people of the Cao Clan turned to look expectantly at Rocky. Since he was the one who hadinsisted on sending her on stage, he was the only one who might be able to explain what she wasdoing now.
