Chapter 205 He Was Quite A Character!
However, it had been a time of war during thest few years. Several big wars had broken out from
time to time. Therefore, the four major military groups had definitely suffered inevitable losses in terms
of their royal spirit maniptors. As a result, the general number of the Holy Dragon Empire''s royal
spirit maniptors was decreasing constantly. Yet, only 30 new royal spirit maniptors could be
recruited each year due to the strict selection process. Obviously, such a small number was not enough
to supply the increasing demands for the royal spirit maniptors.
The Holy Dragon Empire, as well as other empires, regarded the spiritual maniptors who inherited
the power of the spiritual race as the best of the best. Considered the cream of the crop, they were
looked up to as an elite force. For example, the Magic Phoenix Empire had the phoenix spirit
maniptors, and the Timber Deity Empire had the timber spirit maniptors. These elite spirit
maniptors were all strictly protected and carefully overseen by their own empire. Their cultivation
was of the highest priority. In fact, it could be said that the number and strength of these elite spirit
maniptors were also the embodiment of an empire''s strongestbat power.
At that moment, Rocky, who was in the Spirit Possession state, had the power of both an ordinary spirit
maniptor and a royal spirit maniptor, which was considered something quite impossible.
Generally speaking, the ordinary spirit maniptor couldn''t have the power of the royal spirit
maniptor, while the royal spirit maniptors couldn''t have other powers except for the dragon
spiritual power.
However, Rocky had managed tobine both. How could he make the impossible happen? It owed
to the fact that he was once a formal royal spirit maniptor. The red light in the spiritual me was
also a part of the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, which appeared before Marcia sealed it. Thus,
although Marcia sealed the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body, the spiritual me that
produced the spiritual power was somewhere deep within him. The red light in the spiritual me was
also retained in his body.
After he started the Spirit Possession, a kind of magic where the spirit maniptor could fuse with
spirit-manipted beasts and possess their power, the red light lurking in his body was activated by the
special capability of the Fire nature in Uriah''s body. What all this indicated was that Rocky had the
special ability to manipte the nature of Fire from then on. As an ordinary spirit maniptor, Rocky
had the ability to manipte the nature of Fire. Such a unique situation only happened once in a blue
moon.
Obviously, Uriah''s injury turned out to manifest as a new opportunity for Rocky to strengthen his power.
How lucky he was!
Rocky, who figured out his good luck, immediately put on a sly smile. Obviously, he had a n. He
suddenly jumped up and waved his hands tounch the power of the red light and the Vast Neb Skill
directly toward an empty house in the Ghost Vige. It was apparent that he wanted to test the power
of his newly regained ability. He grinned with satisfaction. It was clearly visible that the two different
spiritual powers were intertwined in the air. One was misty like nebe, while the other was red like
burning mes.
Bang! In the blink of an eye, the house was easily razed to the ground after only a second of being
attacked by the two spiritual powers. It turned into arge, ckened crater, with dust and smoke rising
from its depths. It was as though an asteroid hadnded! The attackbing the impact of the nature
of Fire was quite powerful.
Although Rocky still had some doubts as to why his spiritual me had such a weird transformation, he
was now relieved to find out that this peculiar change was not a bad thing.
Of course, Rocky didn''t know at that moment that the odd changes in his spiritual me were also
rted to the Holy Dragon Bead. The mystery of this artifact was that it would offer a spirit maniptor
unlimited possibilities. If Rocky would be able to regain the power of the Holy Dragon Bead, he would
then understand that more surprising changes would being his way in the future.
The state of Spirit Possession couldn''tst too long since the activation of such a skill consumed the
spiritual power of a spirit maniptor. Thus, Rocky soon stopped his testing. He had to catch up with
time and start curing Uriah''s wound at once.
Soon, in the curing process, Rocky found that Uriah''s wounded body part turned out to be its own
spiritual source. The spiritual source of a spirit-manipted beast was equal to the spiritual me in a
spirit maniptor. The main difference between the two was that the spiritual source of a spirit-
manipted beast was just like its heart. Even though part of the spirit-manipted beast''s body was
injured or fatally wounded, as long as its spiritual source was well-preserved, then there was still a
good chance that the spirit-manipted beast would still be saved due to the strong healing power of
its spiritual source. But if its spiritual source was destroyed, no matter how strong the spirit-manipted
beast''s body was, it would die in the end. Much like a functioning bodily system, if the heart died, the
other parts would go down with it despite being healthy.
Therefore, the damage of the spiritual source was a very serious matter, which could not be restored by
its own resilience or the amazing effect of the magical saliva. The only way to cure the damaged
spiritual source was by Spirit Possession, which meant using the spiritual power of a spirit maniptor
to cure it.
However, almost all of the spirit maniptors didn''t know the importance of the spiritual source. Rocky
had only found out about its importance after he activated the Spirit Possession and discovered that
Uriah''s damaged part was its spiritual source. He remembered having read records about it in the
Beast Encyclopedia.
Rocky was truly fortunate to have got to know the inscrutable old man, Sheridan. Without his guidance,
Rocky would never have discovered Uriah''s problem and cured it so quickly.
However, Rocky himself also made a great contribution to such an achievement, because this Spirit
Possession was a skill that was not easy to grasp. Especially if an ordinary spirit maniptor wanted to
learn it, the amount of time and effort it demanded was almost tantamount to chasing after an
unrealistic dream. Unexpectedly, Rocky was able to aplish such aborious task by virtue of his
amazing perseverance and determination. Of course, if he had still been a royal spirit maniptor, it
would have been a much easier task. It was a pity that the power of his Holy Dragon Bead was
currently sealed. Thus, he had no way but to make greater efforts and costs before he was able to help
cure Uriah miraculously.
Rocky then began to use his own spiritual power to repair Uriah''s damaged spiritual source. He was
determined to do his best to cure his beloved war beast. After all, Uriah was his faithfulpanion who
had followed him through most of his difficult journey.
The Spirit Possessionsted less than an hour. Once it waspleted, Rocky clearly felt his spiritual
power was about to bepletely depleted. Thus, he immediately stopped the activation of the Spirit
Possession. The next second, a light shadow abruptly emerged from his body andnded on the
ground.
"Uriah..." Rocky called to the shadow. Uriah looked much better than before. The curing method
rmended by Sheridan had worked wonders indeed.
However, because Uriah''s spiritual source had been badly injured twice before, it was still not
that he had already grasped the Spirit Possession, it would not be a big problem to help Uriah fully
recover. Both of them just had to be patient.
After that, Rocky returned to his room in the military camp with Uriah and Rubygon. After feeding Uriah
some magical saliva, he put it near Rubygon and then went to the beast farm alone.
"Hey, young man, look at your sorry face! You seem to have failed," Sheridan said immediately when
he saw Rocky''s nk face.
"Well! I''m dismayed to find out that you were hoping I''d fail. I initially came here to thank you for your
help. Now it seems I''d better not," Rocky said calmly as he crossed his arms around his chest.
"Thank me? Do you mean that you have seeded? How can it be possible? Even for a pretty
talented royal spirit maniptor, it would be practically impossible to seed with just one try! Several
attempts would normally be made before being able to aplish such a hard task!" Sheridan said
hesitantly, scratching his head with perplexity. In the beginning, he just wanted to tease Rocky. But he
hadn''t expected Rocky''s response. He expected the young man to return dejected!
"You don''t believe that I was able to do that, right?" Rocky asked at once. The corners of his mouth

twitched and curved up in a faint smile.
"Of course I didn''t! In my lifetime, I have only seen three ordinary spirit maniptors who canplete
the Spirit Possession. Young man, if you really did it, I will immediately ept you as my disciple!"
Sheridan eximed, squinting at Rocky and trying to discern if he was ying tricks.
"ept me as your disciple? What benefits will I get if I be your disciple?" Rocky asked in
surprise. Such an idea had never crossed his mind before.
"Have you heard of Priest Dean from the Holy Dragon Empire?" Sheridan couldn''t help but ask.
"Priest Dean?" Rocky repeated coldly as he narrowed his eyes. Oh, he knew Priest Dean alright. He
hated him with all his heart! If it were not for Alston and Priest Dean, he wouldn''t have endured the
torment! Rocky''s face showed a hint of anger.
"He''s an old acquaintance of mine. We used to be fellow disciples of the same master. I was a senior
disciple while he was a junior disciple. Our master was good at Beast Evaluation Skill, Beast Taming
Skill, and Beast Curing Skill. Priest Dean was more talented in beast evaluation. Thus, he only focused
on the Beast Evaluation Skill, while I focused on the Beast Taming Skill and Beast Curing Skill. Well,
don''t think I''m boasting or anything like that. The reality is that there is only a limited number of people
who are better at the two skills than me in this Wild Spirit Land. Or in other words, I am one of the best
beast tamers and beast curers, even though these two have be quite unpopr upations now.
Despite that, even the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire has invited me to the Pce City a few
times to raise the high-ss spirit-manipted beasts for the royal family." Sheridan said with a proud
look on his face.
Listening to Sheridan''s exciting retelling of his proud story, Rocky finally realized that the old man who
kept such a low key actually had quite a noble character with a strong background! How fascinating!
