CHAPTER 865 BEYOND THE ANTICIPATION OF THE AUDIENCE

"Tell me, what should we do now then?" Lucilla said anxiously as she gazed at Rocky intently.

Rocky didn't answer her as he was lost in his own thoughts.

As for the Qi Clan, their hopes were high that Tate would be victorious as he was the last contestant of holds © this.

the competition. Moreover, they firmly believed that the Cao Clan could never find a beast curer who

could compete against Tate.

However, the Qi Clan thought wrong because they forgot one person who could crush them—Rocky.

And because of Rocky's strength, even if he could not beat Tate in the last round, at least he could let

the Qi Clan's plan end in complete failure. If the Qi Clan thought that they were sure to win the game,

then what they were thinking about was complete idiotic nonsense!

However, Rocky also had his concerns because he had grabbed the audience's attention during the

beast evaluation competition. Therefore, if he continued to fight and eventually won for the Cao Clan,

then he would not only grab the audience's attention, but would also make the citizens in the entire

Timber Deity Empire be more curious about him. And if this happened, everyone would trace his

identity.

Rocky could not risk his real identity being exposed to the Timber Deity Empire. If anyone in the Timber

Deity Empire knew that he was Prince Basil, the situation would turn against his plan and also the Cao

Clan's plan. And worse, his life might even be put in grave danger.

Therefore, he had reached his limit to compete for the Cao Clan in the beast evaluation competition. If

he continued to compete as a beast curer for the Cao Clan, then there would be massive

consequences. But what bothered him the most was the fact that if he didn't participate in the last

round, then the Cao Clan would lose everything. Although Juey's amazing performance was beyond

his expectations and went according to plan, the rest of his plan relied on the victory of the Cao Clan

against the Qi Clan. If this failed, then he would lose one of the most important key pieces in his plan.

The Cao Clan played a very big part in his plan. In other words, without the Cao Clan, his plan would

surely be affected and could even be in great trouble.

The final result of the contest, whether the Cao Clan won or not, would affect the success of Rocky's

overall plan. Therefore, he had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the situation before he

made an actual decision.

Most people in the Cao Clan became anxious when they saw that Rocky was extremely silent. Even

Lucas looked deadly serious.

But there were also people who showed indifference as if they were waiting for something ridiculous to

happen.

"Huh, now you know the power of the Qi Clan?" Tod viciously sneered. For him, this was an absolutely

delighting situation. The moment he saw Tate stepped onto the stage, he knew that there was no hope

for the Cao Clan to win. As long as the Cao Clan lost, he would have an excuse to force Lucilla to give

up the chiefship.

Lucilla warily glanced at Tod, and then turned to look at Rocky. He was still silent with a serious look on

his face. She had to admit to herself that she was uncertain about the situation as well. So, she had no

choice but to place all her hopes on Juey and expect that she could outdo herself.

During this time, Tate was already on the stage, and the competition had already started.

As Tate appeared on the stage, everyone felt very curious about him since he showed up for the Qi

Clan at such an important moment. They naturally thought that Tate must have some kind of hidden

strength, or else it was impossible for him to appear in this last round which would determine who was

the winning beast curer. If Tate lost, then the Qi Clan would lose the whole competition. On the

contrary, if Tate won, the Cao Clan should send their best beast curer on the stage to compete in the

last round. Most of the audience thought that the last Cao Clan beast curer would be Yang. But judging

from the previous competition, Juey seemed to have the same strength as Yang. If Juey was not a

match for Tate, then Yang might not be able to beat him either.

What the audience did not know was that Yang could no longer compete in the first place. In other

words, if Juey lost this round, the Cao Clan would be put in a delicate and desperate situation again.

As two injured and sick spirit-manipulated beasts were sent onto the stage, Tate and Juey were

completely ready to compete against each other.

Juey started first with her diagnosis on her spirit-manipulated beast. She saw Tate was still standing

with his hands behind his back and squinting as he inspected the beast on his diagnostic table.

A moment later, Tate patted the diagnosis table with such a great force and released a strong spiritual

power. This shook his spirit-manipulated beast and lifted it into the air from the table.

Suddenly, there were two streaks of strange light shining from Tate's hands. The light was directly

passing towards the spirit-manipulated beast that was suspended on air. The beast suddenly screamed

out, and then fell back on the table. Then, the body of the spirit-manipulated beast emitted different

lights as if its symptoms revealed on its body. This kind of skill was something like one of the Beast

Evaluation Skills, the Radiance Evaluation Skill. But in fact, it was a very mysterious Beast Curing Skill

like the modern X-ray technique. It helped the beast curer diagnose a variety of diseases of the spirit-

manipulated beast. With the curer's spiritual power, it checked the internal condition of the beast's body

which turned visible to the plain sight.

"What? Is that... Is that the signature unique skill created over ten years ago by Immortal Hua, who was

called the Miracle Beast Curer? The Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill?" Someone from the

audience with clear and discerning eyes seemed to recognize the Beast Curing Skill that Tate was

using.

In a flash, the news spread rapidly to every person in the audience. Most of the crowds were shocked

when they noticed that the skill Tate used might be the signature skill of the Miracle Beast Curer—

Immortal Hua, who had been living in seclusion for a long time now.

Most of them had heard of Immortal Hua. Back then, he was also a great and prominent figure in the

Wild Spirit Land. His strength was almost equal to that of Sheridan, the most powerful beast curer in

the land. It was said that Immortal Hua had the unique magical skill which could bring dead spirit-

manipulated beasts back to life. Thus, he was called the Miracle Beast Curer. If Tate could cast the

Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill, then he was very likely to be the disciple of the hermit Immortal

Hua. If so, Tate was obviously powerful, and that perhaps was the reason why the Qi Clan sent him on

the stage at such a critical moment.

The whole crowd were excited about the news. It seemed that everyone was now betting on the Qi

Clan to win the contest because of Tate. Juey had performed wonderfully and defeated two beast

curers from the Qi Clan during the previous rounds. However, Tate was the disciple of the Miracle

Beast Curer after all. If the Qi Clan was uncertain about his strength, then they would never have sent

him on the stage.

Thus, they were also anticipating that Juey would be crushed by Tate!
