CHAPTER 852 THE FINAL TEST

The people were dismayed when the result of the third round of the competition was announced.

Everyone thought the third round was enough to determine the winner, but it was still a tie between the

two opposing sides.

The mysterious beast evaluator from the Cao Clan, was an amazing surprise. No one expected that he

would be as strong as Carter. He even suppressed him at some point during the competition. Rocky

showcased exceptional skills just now, including the unique skill of Lucas, a beast evaluator at the

grand master's level, and he even performed three different beast evaluation skills simultaneously.

These were extremely difficult skills that even the best beast evaluators from the famous clans would

admire.

Even Lucas himself was amazed at Rocky's unique talent.

Since the three competitions ended up in a tie, the people could not help but feel excited and discussed

among themselves on how the two would compete next. It was up to the five judges to decide. It was

interesting to watch the two equally strong beast evaluators fight against each other, but this was a

competition. At the end of the day, one of them had to be declared a winner.

"Master Lucas, they already battled for three rounds, and it was still a draw. Should they continue to

fight or have we reached a dead end?" Lucilla asked. She had never been in a situation like this before.

"I'm not sure. Princess Alyssa is one of the judges; it's up to her if we will continue the competition or

not." His face became clouded with worry as he turned to look at Alyssa. It troubled him that Alyssa

would decide in favor of the Qi Clan since she was on their side. Alyssa's decision was paramount, and

no one would dare question it on her face. If that happened, it would surely be unfavorable and could

hurt the Cao Clan. There was nothing they could do but wait and watch which way the ball bounced.

For now, Lucas remained confident that Rocky could turn the tables in favor of the Cao Clan. Even if

they suffered defeat, it would have very little impact on the Cao Clan's image. No one would think the

Cao Clan suffered a complete failure. Rocky's marvelous performance would definitely protect them

from the blow of losing the competition. The spectators were so impressed and believed that the Cao

Clan actually gained ground because of Rocky.

For now, they waited for the big moment and the fate of the Cao Clan.

As everyone waited anxiously for what would happen next, Alyssa stood up. Her gaze swept across the

entire competition hall with a cold and arrogant look. Her domineering presence silenced the audience,

and all they could do was stare at the princess in admiration.

The presence of Alyssa was worthy of comparison to a divine saint. The people of the Timber Deity

Empire greatly admired and revered her. She was surrounded by powerful and famous figures, but they

all looked so normal in front of Alyssa.

As the people fixed their eyes on her, she took flight and drifted towards the platform. The crowd was

mesmerized as she flew and floated towards the stage gracefully. She was elegant, and her face was

enchanting, like a fairy princess that captivated the hearts of men. Luminous lights surrounded her, as if

the spiritual power from heaven and earth all gathered around her.

Swiftly, she landed on the edge of the platform and looked at Rocky and Carter.

"Your performances during the three rounds were quite impressive. The skills you two displayed were

exceptional and famous beast evaluation skills in the Wild Spirit Land. Everyone will agree that your

strengths were at par with each other and were far beyond the general level. Even the beast evaluators

from the royal family are not as skilled as the two of you," Alyssa praised. Her calm voice failed to hide holds © this.

the admiration she felt for the two men in front of her. She glanced at Rocky, and sensed a strange,

familiar aura around him.

It never entered her mind that the masked, mysterious man in front of her was Rocky.

"Your Royal Highness, thank you for the kind words. I am grateful for your approval and appreciation..."

An enormous smile spread across Carter's face as soon as he saw Alyssa landed on the stage. He

thought this was his chance to be successful and famous, but his opponent obstructed his way at the

moment.

"Whether you have my approval will depend on your next performance. The coming round is to test

your real abilities…" Alyssa felt annoyed by Carter's flattery. On the contrary, Rocky remained calm and

quiet. He did not dare look at Alyssa and avoided her eyes the moment she stepped on the stage. She

sensed a mysterious shroud enveloped Rocky's persona that she could not see through him at all.

Soon, Alyssa's arm moved slightly, and her Magic Spiritual Space opened. She raised her hand in the

air, and instantly a Fox Marten rushed out. It was covered in bright light and was about the size of her

palm. It looked frightened and tried to hide itself in between Alyssa's feet.

Alyssa smiled at the Fox Marten's bashfulness and this enchanted the men around her even more.

However, her sweet smile only lasted for a few seconds and was soon replaced by the distant look on

her face. She lifted the Fox Marten from her feet carefully and stroke its head. She then looked at the

two competitors and said, "I caught this spiritual beast accidentally not too long ago, and haven't had

the time to identify it. Now, I need the two of you to help me evaluate it. Whoever can evaluate its

origin, star level and nature, I will declare as the winner of this competition. Surely, there won't be a tie

in this competition, and I will personally decide on who will be the winner from the two of you. Do you

understand what I mean? You two will only have one chance. May the best beast cultivator win!"

"Your Royal Highness, please put this spiritual beast inside the cage, so I can identify it right away,"

Carter said, with a confident look on his face.

"This little creature is terrified of strangers. If threatened, it will release a dominant spiritual power of

Thunder nature, fiery enough to scorch anything within a few meters around it. As long as I hold it in my

arms, you are safe, and it will remain friendly. However, if you got too close, it would panic and start to

feel unprotected. Therefore, I cannot put it down. You have to stand far away from it and evaluate it

from a distance." Alyssa's eyes narrowed as she tried to act charming and innocent. She felt certain

that this test would bring out the real winner in this competition.

The crowd was dumbstruck as they heard the final test announced by the princess.
