Chapter 121 A Provocation
The next morning, Rocky was awakened by the loud sound of forceful knocking. He opened his eyes
as he regted his breath and gathered his power. After opening the door, he saw Thor and Joss,
dressed in uniforms embroidered with spirit maniptors'' emblem. They stood still like two trees in
front of his door with their spirit-manipted beasts beside them. Joss''s spirit-manipted beast was
as tall as a regr dog and it was only at the one-star level. Thor''s beast, meanwhile, was a little
bigger than Joss''s, but it looked like an extremely ugly and strange cat that seemed rather peculiar, as
though it had been shaven from head to tail.
"Why are the two of you standing guard so early in the morning?" Rocky asked in confusion as he
frowned.
"Mr. Cliff said that you are in our team now, so he asked us to take you to the training field. Why haven''t
you put on your uniform? It''s almost time to go," Joss replied in a low voice.
"We have given you your uniform yesterday," Thor told Rocky.
"Alright then," Rocky nodded as he returned to his room and searched for the uniform in the things
Thor and Joss gave him yesterday. He found a uniform of coarse cloth soon, immediately putting it on.
Because Rocky thought Uriah was a little conspicuous, he left Uriah in his room.
"Won''t you take your spirit-manipted beast?" Thor asked Rocky as he saw Rockye out of the
room alone.
"It ate something wrongst night. It''s been having diarrhea and is weak now." Rocky made up an
excuse at once.
Hearing what he said, Thor and Joss looked at each other with furrowed brows. Never before had they
heard about a spirit-manipted beast that would have diarrhea.
Rocky proceeded to the training field led by Thor and Joss.
There were three training fields for spirit maniptors to train in this northeast military camp. Rocky
had seen one of them yesterday.
As the three of them arrived at the training field, they saw the spirit maniptors from other teams had
already assembled and were chatting in groups.
Once the three of them showed up, those spirit maniptors looked at them andughed, pointing at
them as if they were mocking them. Rocky squinted in annoyance.
Just then, a tall and thin man came up to them with an arrogant air. He emitted a momentum of the
spirit maniptor at the sixth grade of the Mortal Stage, which was considered a high level among the
spirit maniptors here.
"Oh! Isn''t it the famous hindering duo?" The tall and thin man teased Thor and Joss.
The other spirit maniptors allughed out loud as soon as he finished his sentence. They pointed
andughed at the three of them even more cruelly. It seemed that they just could not get enough.
In this northeast military camp, there were over sixty spirit maniptors aside from those who were
officials. They were further divided into six teams except for those spirit maniptors who were
guardians. Each team consisted of about six to eight spirit maniptors. Only three teams had spirit
maniptors above the Earthly Stage, while the spirit maniptors in the other three teams were
almost all at the Mortal Stage. So there wererge gaps in the levels of strength among these teams.
This was especially true for the sixth team which Thor and Joss were in. Almost all the spirit
maniptors at the lowest grades were in this team, so it was naturally the weakest team among them
and hence was often the subject of ridicule. They were oftenughed at by the spirit maniptors in
other teams.
"No. You made a mistake. It''s a trio now! Look. There''s a new rookie," another spirit maniptor said.
They could sense that Rocky''s momentum was very weak, so they sneered at him without any
hesitation.
"Ha-ha. You are right," the tall and thin manughed as he took a look at Rocky with contempt. He also
thought Rocky was definitely weak, so he looked down on him like the other spirit maniptors.
Hearing his words, Rocky frowned as he said to Joss, "I saw a dog suddenly barking in front of us. Did
you see? It looked very stupid!"
"Rocky, forget it. We''d better not offend him. He''s in the first team. I haven''t told you that the spirit
maniptors in that team are the most powerful ones in this military camp. We should not cross them,"
Joss said to Rocky in a low voice as he pulled Rocky''s sleeve in fear. He looked at the tall and thin man
with trepidation. Rocky could tell that he had been often bullied by him.
"What did you say? Did you refer to me as a dog?!" The tall man could immediately tell that Rocky was
insulting him. His face instantly flushed with anger. Since he had joined the first team, no one had ever
insulted him like that in front of him. He grew angry, his veins bulging out of his forehead.
"What? Did I say you are a dog? I said the dog was in front of me. I didn''t say it was you. Why would
you think you''re being likened to a dog? Don''t tter yourself," Rocky ignored Joss''s warning as he
replied to the angry man coldly without any emotion.
Everyone all around them began tough loudly. Many of them were chuckling to themselves, because
they often felt bored living in the military camp. It was greatly entertaining that right now someone in the
weakest team dared to challenge the spirit maniptor in the strongest team. They all hoped to see
something interesting and exciting happen. A rookie was provoking a spirit maniptor in the first
team. There was no doubt that they would have an amazing battle.
"You!" The tall man became more angry as he clenched his fists so tightly. He grabbed Rocky''s cor
and shouted, "Bastard! Who do you think you are? Don''t you know that I can crush you with just one
finger? Little asshole. Don''t you know our leader is a disciple of the Ji n? He is at the Earthly Stage.
If you offend the members in our first team, you will die!"
"So what he is from the Ji n. It is nothing to me," Rocky said with a cold smile. Bryant had invited
him to the Mansion of General Ximen. He could even enter General Marcia''s mansion as long as he
wanted. So the Ji n was no big deal to him at all.
"Looks like you won''t know how powerful I am unless I teach you a lesson," the man said as he pulled
Rocky closer to himself. He was furious that Rocky was still arrogant and calm even after he heard him
mention the Ji n.
Rocky suddenly released a chilling momentum around himself as he smiled coldly and sinisterly.
The tall and thin man felt a freezing cold that wrapped around him. He felt like he was in a deep abyss.
The other spirit maniptors around them also felt the chill.
"How dare you pretend to be powerful in front of me?" The man thought Rocky was just bluffing. He
immediately clenched his fist gathering spiritual power as he was about to hit Rocky. Once being hit by
this fist, a spirit maniptor at the regr Mortal Stage would be badly hurt or even killed.
Thor and Joss were both worried about Rocky. After all, this man was at the sixth grade of the Mortal
Stage. He was even more powerful than some members of the first team. They thought Rocky was not
strong enough to withstand the tall man''s attacks.
No one knew that Rocky was actually at the Earthly Stage. If the tall man really picked a fight, Rocky
would definitely teach him a lesson.
"Matthew, stop!" a loud voice rang out. Unwittingly, this had saved the tall man from his imminent
demise.
Matthew turned around and saw a powerful man in a blue uniform showed up along with two men. The
other spirit maniptors'' faces also grew serious as they saw this man.
"Leader!" Matthew shot Rocky a re and let him go, before running to the man in blue.
Rocky looked at this man inquisitively. He could tell that he was at the third grade of the Earthly Stage.
"Rocky, he is the leader of the first team—Evan Ji. It''s said that he is the disciple of the Ji n. His
father has a ce in the Ji n. He is the top spirit maniptor among the spirit maniptors in these
six teams. And he ranks fifth in the entire northeast military camp. So don''t dare to offend him," Thor
said to him in haste.
"Are you causing problems again?" Evan asked Matthew, who hade up to him.
"No, I''m not. The new guy is rude and arrogant, and he even said that the Ji n is nothing," Matthew

immediately replied.
Hearing what he said, Evan''s face grew instantly solemn as he looked at Rocky with sharp eyes. But
Rocky met his gaze stoically, disying not an ounce of fear.
There seemed to be sparks in the air when the two of them looked at each other. It looked like there
was going to be a fight.
