CHAPTER 649 HIGH PROSPECT OF GROWTH

"Could it be that this spirit-manipulated beast is…? If it really is, it should have some special abilities..."

said Alyssa, who seemed to suspect something.

Before the shock that the crowd felt upon seeing Uriah's appearance faded, a silhouette of another

robust beast dashed out of the Magic Spiritual Space, and the aura it emitted was also quite powerful.

This newly appeared beast was precisely Rubygon.

Rubygon's appearance instantly confirmed the rumor about Rocky's ability to control two spirit-

manipulated beasts at the same time.

The crowd was once again thrown into a fierce uproar. Those Heavenly Stage masters looked at each

other in dismay. They had about the same power as Rocky, but Rocky could do something they could

never do their whole lives.

"He can actually control two spirit-manipulated beasts for real," Alyssa said in astonishment. It really

was hard to believe. Other people might harbor doubts about it, but she could clearly sense the spiritual

power connection between the two spirit-manipulated beasts and Rocky. With the existence of the

spiritual power contract between the spirit-manipulated beast and its spirit manipulator, there would

also be an invisible, string-like connection between them, though ordinary spirit manipulators wouldn't

be able to see it. Normally, only the spiritual race had the ability to see such connections clearly.

Nevertheless, because she was the crossbred descendant of the spiritual and the human race, and

thus possessed the bloodline of spiritual race in her body, Alyssa also had this ability. This matter was

naturally a top secret of the Timber Deity Empire. According to the treaty of alliance between clans of

the spiritual race, members of the spiritual race were not allowed to breed with members of the human

race. Anyone breaking the rule would be killed along with their offspring. Besides, the success rate of

such crossbreeding was extremely low. In the past few decades, Alyssa was the only crossbred

progeny of the spiritual and the human race cultivated by the Wood Clan.

Possessing the bloodline of spiritual race in her body was the very reason Alyssa could reach such an

advanced level, which human spirit manipulators would have to consume decades to reach, at such a

young age. This unparalleled bloodline was the reason she became so outstanding.

And at this moment, she could clearly sense the subtle spiritual power connections between Uriah,

Rubygon, and Rocky.

As the spiritual power contract was only effective on one spirit-manipulated beast, it was normally

impossible for a spirit manipulator to simultaneously control two spirit-manipulated beasts in this world.

"Has he perhaps used other methods?" Alyssa naturally felt surprised, for Rocky had obviously

managed to do something that human spirit manipulators couldn't.

Despite her surprise, she didn't think that Rocky's two spirit-manipulated beasts could defeat the five-

star Steel Armor Panther at the fourth grade owned by White. After all, the power of spirit-manipulated

beasts couldn't be differentiated only by their stars and grades. Although Uriah had a four-star strength

at the fourth grade, it was obvious that it had just reached the level. As for Rubygon, while it was

indeed a four-star beast, it was only at a second or third grade. They would have no problem dealing

with ordinary spirit-manipulated beasts, but if they were to fight against a five-star spirit-manipulated

beast at the fourth grade, it would just be throwing straws against the wind.

In any case, from Alyssa's point of view, Rocky was doomed to lose!

"Allen, do you think Rocky could win?" Lance turned to Allen and asked apprehensively.

"Since Rocky dares to propose such a condition, he definitely has his own reason. We just need to wait

and see," Allen answered after giving it some thought.

"I hope so." Lance nodded. After all, if Rocky lost, the Crimson Dragon Army would have to keep their

promise to retreat, and that would mean a chance to rest for the Timber Deity Empire. If he won, on the

other hand, the Timber Deity Empire would have to sign an armistice immediately and that being the

case, the Crimson Dragon Army and the Holy Dragon Empire would become the victor in the war

between the two countries.

On the other side, once Woods saw Rocky summon two spirit-manipulated beasts, his gaze deepened.

He had a bad hunch about this. He knew that Rocky always made enough preparations before he

acted, so he felt that something unexpected might happen.

The three spirit-manipulated beasts soon sank into a melee. Uriah and Rubygon joined hands to fight

against the Steel Armor Panther, but their opponent was equipped with great strength, an amazing

speed, and defensive steel armor. All these formed a perfect combination of offense and defense.

Even though Rubygon was attacking the Steel Armor Panther under Uriah's aerial protection, it still

ended up with injuries all over its body due to the huge disparity of powers between them. Furthermore,

Uriah, who relied on the advantages of being in the air to attack the Steel Armor Panther, also seemed

to be unable to break its steel armor, leading the battle into a stalemate.

Before long, because of the serious injuries Rubygon suffered, Rocky had to force it to go back into the

Magic Spiritual Space.

With its four-star strength at the fourth grade as well as its aerial advantages, Uriah continued to fight

the Steel Armor Panther. Every place its strong black fireballs landed on turned into a sea of fire so

fierce that even the Steel Armor Panther needed to avoid them.

"It's really surprising that this guy's spirit-manipulated beast is so hard to deal with..." This was the first

time White saw his five-star spirit-manipulated beast being forced to this point by a spirit-manipulated

beast at a lower star level. It was quite astonishing. After all, this five-star spirit-manipulated beast had

the strength of a Supernal Stage master, while a four-star spirit-manipulated beast's strength, at best,

was just close to but not yet reached the Supernal Stage. Such a disparity of strength wasn't at all

small. Nevertheless, Uriah relied on its own advantages, stood at an invincible position, and used its

wits to fight against the Steel Armor Panther, intending to exhaust the Steel Armor Panther's physical

strength.

Obviously, this strategy worked as the Steel Armor Panther grew increasingly slower than before.

"It seems that we've got to be serious!" A sinister smile suddenly blossomed on White's face.

At this moment, the Steel Armor Panther raised its head and howled. Just like balloons, its limbs

swelled twice bigger than before and brought about a violent whirlwind upon them. With a sudden burst

of power on its feet, it leaped high and seized this chance to close in on Uriah, who happened to be

rushing down towards him. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

That its opponent would jump so high caught Uriah by surprise. Although it tried to dodge, one of its

legs was still caught by the Steel Armor Panther. Subsequently, the Steel Armor Panther took a spin in

the air then flung Uriah to the ground with all its strength.

With a loud bang, a huge crater more than ten meters in diameter was created on the ground, sending

dust flying in all directions. The impact was so strong that an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast most

likely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

The Steel Armor Panther then took advantage of this moment to dive from the air towards the crater.

Right at this moment, however, a fierce black fireball suddenly zoomed out of the cloud of dust. The

Steel Armor Panther suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the black fireball whole. Right

afterward, it burped loudly and let out a puff of black smoke.

Just after the dust dissipated, Uriah climbed out of the crater in a rather miserable condition, seemingly

having been thrown down quite hard. However, it was still intact, and its momentum didn't decrease in

the slightest.

There was a burst of astonished cries among the crowd. It was hard to imagine that Uriah, whose

strength was far lower than the Steel Armor Panther's, could actually fight for so long. Undoubtedly,

Uriah was a spirit-manipulated beast with a high prospect of growth!
