CHAPTER 311 AN UNBELIEVABLE EVENT

"Uriah, can you still get up?" Rocky asked Uriah with concern.

Uriah struggled to raise its body. Although it was weak, its determination was still there. It lifted its

injured foreleg. Rubygon covered Uriah and Uriah moved using its other three limbs. The scene

shocked the spectators.

The two Deputy Commanders were surprised. They couldn't believe that Rocky was able to manage

two beasts at the same time. They also realized that if Uriah reached the martial pitch with the red

crystal, they would lose.

"Stop it! Stop it now!" The Deputy Commander in red ordered his Celestial Star Porcupine that was hurt

earlier by Rubygon to stop Uriah.

The badly injured Celestial Star Porcupine rushed toward Uriah. The other Deputy Commander also This material belongs to .

commanded his Razor-fin Leopard to attack Rubygon to cover the Celestial Star Porcupine.

A long whistle went off and Uriah and Rubygon exchanged glances thoughtfully. They faced their

opponents and then switched places at the last minute, completely throwing their opponents off. Uriah

began to channel its spiritual power and then formed a fireball. It then threw the huge fireball at the

Razor-fin Leopard that rushed towards Rubygon.

The leopard as well as the Deputy Commander did not expect Uriah and Rubygon to coordinate their

attacks. The leopard was caught by complete surprise as the fireball flew towards it. Even its owner

was not able to bark a command. It was hit squarely by the fireball and fell to the ground in a painful

howl.

Rubygon went after the Celestial Star Porcupine and bit it wildly. Its mouth was full of razor-sharp iron

teeth and the porcupine simply had no defense against it even with long thorns all over its body. It was

not long before the porcupine had bald patches all over and had to give up the fight in pain.

Uriah and Rubygon brought the red spiritual crystal to the martial pitch as everyone stared with shock

and amazement. Everyone knew that it was impossible for anyone to be able to manage two beasts at

the same time.

"Commander in Chief!" Rocky took the red crystal from Uriah's mouth and called Lance on the platform

as he raised the red spiritual crystal in his hand as the rays of the sun playfully rolled across its shiny

surface.

Lance looked at Rocky from where he was sitting. His eyes gleamed with admiration and gladness. He

appeared like a man who just discovered the most valuable treasure in the world and he took his time

in admiring his find. His body shivered slightly from delight. He never expected that anything could

surprise him so much after seeing a lot in his lifetime.

But Lance held back much of how he truly felt because of the many eyes that were transfixed at the

center of the grounds as well as on him and on Rocky. Only his gleaming eyes gave out any clue on

what he truly felt inside. He nodded at Rocky then he slowly eyed all the people in presence and then

declared in an authoritative voice, "Rocky from the northeast military camp is the first to bring the red

spiritual crystal to the martial pitch. He is thus the winner of the second round and is qualified to enter

the third round."

Shouting and cheering filled the spectator platforms. Everyone who was present stood up from where

they were sitting and screamed at the top of their lungs as they cheered for Rocky. Even though some

were jealous at what Rocky had accomplished, they couldn't help but cheer with the rest of the crowd

for they too were surprised at what Rocky was able to do.

The Deputy Commander in red and the other Deputy Commander who failed stared helplessly at

Rocky. They found it hard to accept how the competition turned out and yet they knew that they

couldn't do anything about it.

It was not long after that Dunn returned with another red spiritual crystal along with his spirit-

manipulated beast and became the second winner. Rocky and Dunn were lined up to face each other

for the final face-off at the third round.

The two red spiritual crystals were rewarded to Rocky and Dunn respectively for winning the round.

Everyone in the crowd hushed as they stared at the two with envy.

"Hey. If you are unsure if you can beat me, better pack your bags and go home! Hrrmm..." Dunn had a

vigorous figure and walked towards Rocky with an arrogant attitude.

Rocky stared back at Dunn and an intense, heavy air hung between them.

The third round had not started and yet the atmosphere of rivalry had already grown between them.

The crowd knew that they would soon witness a fierce battle between the two competitors.

"You did a good job searching and retrieving the crystal. But that won't be enough next time!" Dunn

said and then laughed haughtily. He walked slowly away with his beast walking close by him.

The third round would be held in the afternoon. The spectators stared at Rocky as they left the area.

Rocky surprised the crowd with his skills and abilities since the first round. And just when they thought

that Rocky couldn't surprise them any further, he shocked them once more by managing two beasts at

the same time.

"Mr. Bai, I'm truly sorry..." Sue said as she rushed towards Rocky.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Why are you apologizing?" Rocky asked.

"I didn't take good care of Rubygon just now and it ran off. It's lucky that the Commander in Chief didn't

disqualify you because of this. Otherwise, I will never be able to forgive myself," Sue said sadly.

"Don't worry about it. Rubygon ran off to help Uriah because it doesn't like anyone bullying Uriah. It was

not your fault. Stop feeling sorry for what happened." Rocky said to console her.

"That is right Sue. If something went wrong it would be Rocky's fault because he didn't tell us that he

had two spirit-manipulated beasts ahead of the competition," a sweet and gentle voice said, seemingly

from nowhere.

Both Rocky and Sue turned their heads to see who spoke and saw Isis and Marin walking towards

them. They walked with the look of amazement and admiration painted across their beautiful faces. Isis

was shaking her head slightly as she walked. She found it hard to believe that Rocky could manage

two beasts at the same time. How was he able to do it? No one else was known to have achieved this

feat before.

"Miss Isis and Commander Marin, how are you both?" Sue greeted as she bowed down to the two

approaching ladies.

"Rocky, did Sheridan teach you how to manage two spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time?" Isis

asked in a curious and accusing tone.

Marin looked at Rocky as her mind tried to analyze how it was possible for Rocky to manage two

beasts at the same time when it was widely known to be impossible.

Rocky replied to Isis' question with a mere smile and said nothing. This made them even more curious.

"Come on. Tell us..." Isis requested in a voice that was both pleading and commanding at the same

time.

"I would be so lucky if I was the one who taught him this. My heart almost popped out in excitement

when I heard about his skill in the contest," a wizened voice replied back to Isis.

They all turned towards the direction of the voice and saw Sheridan was smiling broadly as he walked

towards them. Sheridan was escorted by a tall man, Lance himself.

"Commander in Chief!" Everyone bowed down immediately.

"But Sheridan, if it was not you, then who taught him? He didn't learn that by himself did he?" Isis said

in an agitated voice.

"I don't know. But I definitely didn't teach him that skill," Sheridan said seriously. He was drunk the night

before and was up until eleven in the morning. He reminded Rocky that he was going to watch the

second match and hurried up for it. When the match was over, he met Lance. Lance informed Sheridan

that Rocky could manage two beasts at the same time. He was shocked by the news and felt sorry that

he was not able to see it in action himself.
