CHAPTER 922 ROBIN'S FIRST SURPRISING DISPLAY
Rocky nodded evasively. In fact, he had planned to train Robin at that time to improve its fighting
capacity. Therefore, Robin would definitely get excellent training if it participated in the beast arena.
"What? Let Rainbow Glow Unicorn compete? What is its current strength? The spirit-manipulated
beasts participating in the finals will be at least at the third grade of the three-star level," Woods uttered.
Rocky had told him before that both Uriah and Rubygon died for saving him back when they were
fighting with Alston. With this, Rainbow Glow Unicorn was the only spirit-manipulated beast that was
left to stay with him. Therefore, Woods thought that Rocky might select it to take part in the upcoming
competition.
"But, I'm not choosing Rainbow Glow Unicorn this time," Rocky answered as he shook his head.
"Then that would mean..." Woods' eyes grew bigger in surprise. At that moment, he could not help but
wonder how many spirit-manipulated beasts Rocky was keeping.
Woods might be shocked, but this was not something new to him at all. In fact, he was aware that it
was normal for someone like Rocky, who owned a spirit-manipulated beast of the King Level such as
Rainbow Glow Unicorn, to have several other spirit-manipulated beasts. In addition, Woods had
already witnessed Rocky control two spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time, so there was no
reason to be surprised about Rocky's capabilities anymore.
"Woods, make an arrangement in the competition for me," Rocky instructed Woods.
After shooting Rocky a glance, Woods sent for an arena steward to make an arrangement as soon as
possible.
Meanwhile, as soon as the fight at the beast arena was over, the man in charge appeared again.
"See the man there? Go with him." Immediately, Woods nodded at Rocky.
Rocky stood up and left with the person in charge. They went down a few steps through one passage
and reached the bottom of the fighting beast field. An iron fence appeared in front of them, which led to
the fighting field.
"Release the spirit-manipulated beast, please..." The steward politely ordered Rocky.
Without hesitation, Rocky nodded and then opened the Magic Spiritual Space to let Robin out.
In an instant, the iron fence in front of them and the one on the opposite side slowly opened
simultaneously. Soon after, a spirit-manipulated beast at the third grade of the three-star level came out
of the holding area.
"Hey, go ahead. Don't forget to have fun!" Rocky gleefully said as he signaled Robin to start.
As a response, Robin growled. Shortly, it passed through the iron fence and set its foot on the arena.
Robin's presence immediately attracted all the people present on the battlefield. Perhaps the people
were so drawn to Robin because it had a powerful stature, and was able to do something that not every
spirit-manipulated beast could do—walk with its hind legs, just like a human being.
But because Robin's strength was only at the third-grade of the three-star level, it was not at all
outstanding to the entire audience.
Meanwhile, after Robin and its opponent appeared on the stage at the right side of the arena, an odds
card was put up reading 1 to 3. In other words, if Robin won the game, then it would get three times the
odds. However, since it was Robin's first time to be sent out to the battle ring, the audience's eyes
remained focused on watching its opponent rather than looking at Robin. After all, they were more
familiar with the opponent since they had already seen it countless times.
On the other hand, Rocky had just returned to Woods.
"Since when do you have this spirit-manipulated beast?" Curious as to how Rocky had obtained Robin,
Woods could not help but ask. Although he wasn't an expert regarding spirit-manipulated beast, he had
sensed something strange about Robin as soon as he saw it.
"I guess, for quite a while now," replied Rocky.
"So, is it a spiritual beast?" Woods asked once more.
"Well, not really." Rocky shook his head in denial. But as a matter of fact, Robin was more powerful
than the usual spiritual beasts.
"What do you mean by 'not really'?" Woods asked as he became more suspicious of Rocky's reply.
Meanwhile, in the arena, the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the competition.
All of a sudden, Robin's opponent, the spirit-manipulated beast at the third-grade of the three-star level,
dashed towards it at lightning speed. It bore its teeth and brandished its sharp claws as it went straight
for Robin.
On the other hand, Robin remained stationary. With its eyes as calm as flowing water, Robin looked
like a hunter waiting for its prey to arrive.
At the same time, the people saw that Robin was not moving at all. In fact, the audience thought that it
might be too weak to attack or even defend itself from its opponent. Seeing this, the people started to
mock Robin and pointed at it.
"How dare they let this good-for-nothing spirit-manipulated beast compete! I bet you that even the
watchdog of my house is stronger than it..."
"What kind of spirit manipulator would be so daring to send such a weak spirit-manipulated beast?
Does he want to embarrass himself?"
"You can already know who would win this fight with your eyes closed!"
Meanwhile, just as everyone watched how frail Robin was on the battlefield, its opponent, on the other
hand, had already managed to approach Robin hastily. Soon after, it opened its mouth as if it was
trying to swallow Robin in whole.
However, just when Robin was about to be engulfed, it vanished from its spot and from the face of the
earth. Seeing this disappearing act, Robin's opponent, along with many other spirit manipulators who
watched the beasts, weren't able to react due to shock.
Soon after, there was a roar of loud and sharp pain that echoed all throughout the arena.
By the time the spectators came back to their senses, Robin's opponent had already spat a mouthful of
blood and fell to the ground with a loud thud. In a snap, it seemed that Robin's opponent had died of
exhaustion.
Simultaneously, Robin could be seen standing just a few meters away from its opponent, as if it had
never moved a muscle.
On the other hand, this caused a commotion in the audience. No one ever saw how Robin magically
attacked its opponent, nor did the people see how the opponent fought back. In short, the audience
found it unfair that Robin's opponent did not seem to have the chance to even defend itself. In fact,
even a five-star spirit-manipulated beast could not reach the speed that Robin had just shown.
But what was more amazing about it was that Robin was able to kill the spirit-manipulated beast at the
same level with one quick move.
"Wow, your spirit-manipulated beast is really so different and unique from the rest of the spirit-
manipulated beasts that I have seen in my life..." Woods could not help but exclaim in astonishment C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
right after he saw what Robin was capable of.
Meanwhile, the person in charge of the arena appeared. Soon after, he took center stage and
announced the update on the competition.
"All spirit-manipulated beasts at the third grade of the three-star level have competed today. The
previous fight that you have all witnessed was the final round. The next competition will be between
spirit-manipulated beasts at least at the third grade of the four-star level or above. With that being said,
do you still want to participate in it?" the person in charge asked Rocky.
"Go ahead!" Rocky nodded as he answered.
"Are you sure about it? Your spirit-manipulated beast is only at the third grade of the three-star level...
Are you really sure you want to do this?" the person in charge asked again after seeing that Rocky
might not be aware of the potential mismatch of Robin's opponent. Although Robin had shown
remarkable strength in the previous round, it was still at the third grade of the three-star level and not of
the same level as the spirit-manipulated beasts of the third grade of the four-star.
"We are sure. Just go and arrange it," said Woods and nodded with resolution.
Seeing that Rocky and Woods were quite confident of Robin, the steward bowed and left the area.
On the other hand, as Rocky told the steward to continue the fight, the winner, Robin, didn't quit the
competition. Instead of resting, it patiently waited for its next opponent.
Soon after, the iron bar on the opposite side opened gradually, and a spirit-manipulated beast at the
third grade of the four-star level jumped out of it. With long and flat mouth, this spirit-manipulated beast
resembled a crocodile. In addition, its whole body was covered in hard scales. It was about a meter in
height, and its three of its tails resembling a crocodile's wagged and hit the ground up and down
continuously.
