CHAPTER 868 LET'S WAIT AND SEE
The entire hall broke into an uproar the moment that Rocky stepped foot on the stage, as the crowd
practically hollered the roof down because they knew that it was him who defeated the mighty Carter
two days ago with the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill, which had been lost for years. The way that
he displayed the unique skill was still fresh in their vivid memories. This time, they craned their necks
and restlessly shifted in their seats, excited for whatever exciting tricks that he had up his sleeves.
His appearance made the contest more interesting, and the audience exclaimed that their effort to
come had certainly paid off.
Until that day, none of them knew the real identity of this mysterious beast evaluator, except the
members of the Cao Clan. They didn't know who he was or where he came from, and he was an
enigma for them.
But regardless of who he was, he had taken part in the life and death battle of the two clans, and since
it was regarding beast curing, then he must have come to fight for the Cao Clan as a beast curer.
Of course, all the people were still puzzled about something. They had learned that Rocky was an
outstanding beast evaluator, which he must have worked hard to become, but now it turned out that he
was a beast curer too. Because of this, they were looking forward to what he was going to do next, as
no one had ever played these two roles at the same contest. Anyway, there was no rule that
competitors could not fight in two or even three contests. As the old saying went, every cultivator had
their unique skills for hunt. As for a beast master, there were three completely different fields that they
could participate in. These were beast evaluation, beast curing, and beast taming, and all of them were
connected but also divided in a specific way.
From ancient times to the present, it was very rare for a beast master to be good in two fields among
the three, because all the three fields were broad and profound. It was enough for a beast master to
study one of them for a lifetime, and in most cases, many beast masters couldn't grasp all the
essences of the field that they chose, even unto the end of their life. If there was any beast master who
studied across the fields, he or she must be very strong in their original field. Throughout the entire
Wild Spirit Land, only a few beast masters dipped into two fields at the same time, and the ones who
were marvelous in both fields were almost unseen. However, one man was an exception. He was the
most powerful beast tamer and the most powerful beast curer at the same time, and that was Sheridan,
Rocky's master.
Because it was rarely seen, it seemed that Rocky had brought another surprise to the people. And
since he had already possessed convincing beast evaluation skills, they wanted to see whether his
beast curing skills were just as striking. At that moment, he was standing on the stage to fight for the
Cao Clan once again, and his opponent was Tate, the apprentice of the Miracle Beast Curer. Their
confrontation would decide which clan would be the champion of this Beast Master Contest.
This contest would decide the fate of the Cao Clan. If they lost, an age would end, and the Cao Clan
which had been prosperous in the past decade would not be able to escape its declining destiny. On
the other hand, if they won, the Cao Clan would regain the status of the most powerful clan in the
country.
Once Rocky stepped onto the round platform and took his position, the final competition between the
two clans commenced.
All the people were waiting anxiously for their next move, but their attention had shifted from Tate
whose beast curing skills were well known to Rocky, who was more mysterious, more eye-catching,
and also more puzzling.
They all knew that Yang was the best beast curer in the Cao Clan, although his strength was not as
good as Tate's. Thus, if Yang was here to fight for the Cao Clan, there would have been a glimmer of
hope to win at least. However, to everyone's surprise, the Cao Clan sent this mysterious beast
evaluator on stage again, and this time, he was to compete as a beast curer. The audience was going
crazy with suspense and confusion.
They guessed that Rocky must also be magnificent in beast curing, or the Cao Clan wouldn't have put
the fate of their clan at stake just to let him in. But if it was true that Rocky's beast curing skills were as
striking as his beast evaluation skill, he would become a legend.
Up until that moment, there had never been such a beast master in Timber Deity Empire, who studied
and mastered both fields at the same time.
Part of the audience suspected that the Cao Clan was just casting a mist before their eyes because no
beast curer in their clan could fight against Tate, but the truth was that the Cao Clan had given up. They
sent Rocky onto the stage to save face for their clan as a last resort, and it was the best choice that
they could make now. Since they were bound to lose anyway, Rocky was the best choice since he
could distract people's attention with his enigmatic persona and new-found fame. It was a cunning trick
that could save the Cao Clan from being humiliated or taunted by the other clans. holds © this.
Two sick spirit-manipulated beasts were rolled onto the stage in cages and placed on the tables before
Rocky and Tate separately, heedless of the turmoil under the stage.
Then, the final contest between the two beast curers was started formally.
Tate, however, didn't rush to start his curing right away. Instead, he stared at Rocky fiercely as if he
wanted to cut him into pieces. It was because Rocky had just flirted with Lucilla a moment ago, which
greatly humiliated him. His former wife-to-be, who he still cared about, had been taken away by Rocky.
Thus, Rocky was not only an opponent but also a rival in love. He wanted to destroy him as soon as
possible.
On the contrary, Rocky was not acting any differently. He looked back into Tate's eyes calmly with a
smile pulling at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, Tate raised his hands and conducted the Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill on the spirit-
manipulated beast that was lying on his table, and it successfully aroused an uproar among the
audience. Beast-through Radiance Curing Skill was truly a striking Beast Curing Skill.
While Tate was strutting proudly, pleased that his unique skill had attracted the attention of all the
people in the hall, Rocky was taking his time to observe the spirit-manipulated beast's injury. He
already realized what was wrong with the beast a while ago though, as he had mastered his beast
curing skill to perfection.
As the audience calmed down, some of them with sharp eyes had found that the method Rocky was
using right now was similar to that of Juey.
After the diagnosis, Rocky turned his hand over and the bag, which Juey had used in the previous
round and had returned to him, showed up on his hand. Opening the bag, he took a scalpel and
opened the spirit-manipulated beast's belly with precise but light movements.
A louder ruckus swept the audience in the hall. With Rocky's actions, he had made it clear that Juey
and he were from the same sect, which was a shocking revelation to everyone present.
That was to say, Rocky also knew how to use the Beast Curing Skill which Juey used to defeat two of
the beast curers from the Qi Clan before. And it was also likely that he could use it better than her.
