Chapter 340 Big Gap
There were a lot of reasons why the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill was referred to as one of
the four masterstrokes. Ordinary spirit maniptors could not even imagine its miracle and overarching
power.
And what Rocky figured out was to hide himself in the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill.
Sheridan had once told him that the spirit maniptor, who had cultivated the Mysterious Beast
Transformation Skill, could make one or more parts of his body animalize. Sheridan had shown what
the animalization was. In other words, without Spirit Possession, the animalization could enable the
maniptor to integrate the particr power of spirit-manipted beasts and transform into any part of
the spirit-manipted beasts.
After he studied the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill that Sheridan had imparted to him, Rocky
found that people couldn''t animalize sessfully if they just mastered the Mysterious Beast
Transformation Skill.
A basic condition needed to be met first. There should be a spiritual power connection between the
spirit maniptor and the spirit-manipted beast. This spiritual power connection was simr to a
spiritual power contract. The biggest difference was that spiritual power contracts were unique, but the
spiritual power connection could work on every spirit-manipted beast including spiritual beast. It
could also connect to more than one spirit-manipted beast at the same time.
Contrary to spiritual power contracts, spiritual power connection was far moreplicated. To achieve
spiritual power connection, there were two requirements. Firstly, spirit maniptors should be
knowledgeable about the spirit-manipted beasts who needed connecting. Spirit-manipted beasts
should also be rxed so that they would not resist spirit maniptors. Otherwise, spirit maniptors
could be gravely hurt while spirit-manipted beasts resisted in the process of connection.
Secondly, spirit maniptors must have strong self-control because the process to connect was always
very dangerous. If people met these two requirements, it was possible to achieve spiritual power
connection.
At the end of spiritual power connection, spirit maniptors had to engrave a mark on the spirit-
manipted beast''s spiritual source through their spiritual power. With the mark, spirit maniptors
could connect with the spirit-manipted beasts at any time.
However, it was hard for spirit maniptors to engrave the mark on the spiritual source because spirit
maniptors had to gather spiritual power integrally. If they couldn''t hold until the end, it wouldn''t
seed as well. Therefore, the perseverance of spirit maniptors was equally important.
That was where Rocky got the idea. If he could achieve the spiritual power connection on Rubygon,
there would be a special connection with Rubygon instead of a spiritual power contract. That would
help Rubygon to absorb the spiritual power in blue spiritual crystal.
Usually, spiritual power connections were effective between spirit maniptors and spirit-manipted
beasts who followed their masters faithfully. It was already highly difficult for faithful spirit-manipted
beasts to finish this connection. Thus, it would be pretty much impossible for those who are defiant.
In fact, Sheridan had not been sessful when he tried the technique. This just showed how
challenging the skill was to master.
If possible, Rocky would try this technique right there, but many hazards were concealed in the forest.
In addition, plenty of time and energy were needed to achieve the connection. This was why Rocky
opted to keep the blue spiritual crystal first and tried to figure out what he should do next.
After he had rested for an hour, Rocky and the beasts continued through the forest and gradually came
closer to the periphery of the Myriad Beasts Ground.
The subsequent journey would be more dangerous. The closer they were to the Myriad Beasts Ground,
the stronger the wild spirit-manipted beasts they would meet. Three-star spirit-manipted beasts in
grade three were verymon. asionally, there could even be wild spirit-manipted beasts
nearly in grade four. That would be horrible!
Rocky went forward cautiously so he would note across clustered wild spirit-manipted beasts or
wild spirit-manipted beasts nearly in grade four.
They had travelled for about a day and the forest gradually became less dense and much brighter.
Faint beams of light cast down over their heads. It seemed that they were about to reach the end of the
forest.
Rumble!
Suddenly, Rocky heard a tremendous rumbling sound from the left. The beasts circled protectively
around him, as if they had detected the presence of a strong enemy.

This made Rocky feel more wary. He had never seen his beasts act this cautious before. Even when
they met those wild spirit-manipted beasts nearly in grade four, they didn''t act this nervously.
Suddenly, Rocky saw a great shadow as it rushed towards them from the woods. The creature was
probably as tall as three or four meters. Its figure was unwieldy and huge. It stood as huge as a tank
and made the ground tremble under its weight and force. Simultaneously, its strong power also
frightened those three-star wild beasts in level three within a hundred meters. The loud sound seemed
to have been a mix of the creature and the noise of hundreds of beasts as they stampeded away.
Rocky observed it carefully. He made an appalled face as he realized that the thing was a four-star wild
spirit-manipted beast in grade three. It had three heads and four huge arms. It looked a bit like a
bear with a thick carapace wrapped around its body. Thus, it seemed to be a hybrid of an enormous
bear and a turtle.
"Armoured Oogway Bear!" As soon as he identified it, Rocky remembered all the information he read
from the Beast Encyclopedia.
The Armoured Oogway Bear was simr to Colossus. Both of them belonged to the unusual wild spirit-
manipted beasts. The bear''s highest star level also had five stars and it always lived in dense and
hidden forests. Butpared to the overbearing Trunk Giants, the Armoured Oogway Bears were
much more docile. They were herbivores and only attacked others when provoked.
This confused Rocky because there was nothing in the woods that could dare to provoke the four-star
Armoured Oogway Bear. Even a four-star Trunk Giant in the same grade would not dare to fight them.
The Armoured Oogway Bear was famous for its excellent defensive power. No matter how powerful the
wild spirit-manipted beasts were, it was difficult for them to break that invulnerable carapace.
Just in case, Rocky decided to move on as quickly as possible. He doubted that the Armoured Oogway
Bear would attack them but it was better to be safe than sorry. The only four-star wild spirit-manipted
beast he met before was the Demonic Devouring Boa. At that time, he was almost eaten by the
Demonic Devouring Boa because of Rainbow Glow Unicorn''s trap. This incident reinforced his belief
that this kind of spirit-manipted beasts were horriblepany.
After all, there was a world of difference between beasts in the three-star and four-star in grade three.
The power of the strongest three-star wild spirit-manipted beast in grade three was equal to that of
the spirit maniptor in the preliminary level of the Heavenly Stage. However, the four-star wild spirit-
manipted beast in grade three was at least equal to the spirit maniptor in third or fourth level of
the Heavenly Stage. That was a really big gap.
Thus, it would be difficult for spirit maniptors in the Heavenly Stage to defeat a four-star wild spirit-
manipted beast in grade three. Especially Rocky, since he still had a long way to go before he
reached the Heavenly Stage.
