Chapter 408 Excellence
"In fact, my de Spirit Skill isn''t the strongest spiritual power. The Sima n offers many kinds of
skills that have been designed for people with different physiques. For example, there is one skill called
Toxin Spirit Skill. Basically, if a man uses and gains mastery with that skill, his spiritual power will give
out a kind of toxin, and his opponent will be poisoned as soon as the man tries to hit him," Dunn said,
though his description sounded somewhat exaggerated.
"If that''s the case, then why did youe to join the army of the Holy Dragon Empire instead of staying
with the Sima n to continue your training?" Rocky asked out of curiosity.
"My father was once a Commander of the Holy Dragon Empire as well. Nheless, shortly after my
birth, he died fighting on the battlefield. My mother was a former member of the Sima n. Thus, after
my father''s death, she went back to her n. But when I turned sixteen years old, she died as well.
When she was dying, she urged me repeatedly to serve the Holy Dragon Empire by being a
Commander just like my father. Then I would fulfill my father''s unfulfilled wish," Dunn sighed heavily.
Everyone could tell this was an emotional topic for Dunn to discuss.
"I see," Rocky replied back, sighing too. Dunn''s background and life experience surprised him. He
hadn''t expected such hardship from this man.
"How about we switch topics, Rocky? You''re interested in the de Spirit Skill, aren''t you? Let me
teach it to you," Dunn offered.
"Honestly, Dunn, I don''t think it''s proper for you to disclose that to me," Rocky said, somewhat
surprised.
"Don''t think like that. You are my friend now. I''m willing to share whatever I have with you. Besides, the
de Spirit Skill generally takes at least ten years to gain proficiency and fifteen years to control it
effectively without strain; thus, it is usually taught during childhood. Few ordinary spirit maniptors
can be so patient to practice it," Dunn exined. He didn''t seem concerned about the risks of sharing it
with Rocky.
"Okay then, thank you," Rocky replied and nodded.
Dunn then began exining about the de Spirit Skill in detail.
While keeping the practicing method in mind, Rocky went on drinking the wine together with Dunn. He
bid his farewell and left the tent. As soon as he walked out of the main camp, he released the four
beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space. They then all went back together.
However, upon arriving at his ce, Rocky''s face darkened. He discovered that the building was just
about razed to the ground. Hisboratory wasrgely destroyed, in which the tools and samples were
flung all over the ground.
The two-star and three-star materials and rare items he had acquired from the wild spirit-manipted
beasts were gone. There was nothing left except a few worn baskets left in the brokenboratory.

"Damn Timber Deity Empire!" Rocky cursed out loud in an incensed voice, gritting his teeth together
and clenching his jaw. Unmistakably, his ce had been ransacked by the troops of the Timber Deity
Empire during their invasion. Fortunately, he had carried the Dark Heaven Insect Queen and the three
Dark Heaven Insects with him before leaving herest time. They were safe. Otherwise, the Dark
Heaven Insects would have been discovered and taken away by the troops of the Timber Deity Empire.
That was for sure.
Rocky''s heart was broken as he looked at his ravaged and destroyedboratory. Most of the samples
had been wiped out or stolen. Fortunately for him though, he had analyzed and recorded the data of
most of the samples before he left. Otherwise, the amount of loss would have driven him to despair.
''It seems that I can no longer stay here. I have to find a safer ce, and there I will build a more secure
He entered the destroyedboratory and rummaged around. He picked up some tools and samples
that could still be of use and threw all of them into the Magic Spiritual Space.
After going through and reiming everything, Rocky left for Evian City together with the four beasts.
When they were about to arrive at Evian City, Rocky sent the four beasts to the Magic Spiritual Space.
Once he entered the city, he first went to a branch of the Super Beast Farm.
The owner of the branch was Shawn Huang. As soon as he caught sight of Rocky, he grinned from ear
to ear. He knew Rocky would give him money, because Rocky did so every time he came here. It was
good news for Shawn.
"Mr. Huang, please arrange a vacant room for me," Rocky requested.
"A vacant room? Mr. Bai, what do you want with a vacant room?" Shawn asked in confusion.
"Why do you need to know that? Do you want my money or not?" Rocky firmly asked while giving
Shawn a long re.
As soon as Shawn heard "money", he left happily to order his men to find a vacant room for Rocky. He
was no longer interested in why.
It wasn''t long before Rocky entered his vacant room Shawn arranged. After closing the door and
securely locking it, he opened the Magic Spiritual Space, taking out many of the three-star materials
and rare items he had collected from the Myriad Beasts Ground.
Rocky then decided to open the door on a hunch. Immediately, Shawn fell into Rocky''s room.
Obviously he had been eavesdropping by leaning on the door just now. When he raised his head,
Shawn saw a big pile of three-star materials, which looked like a hill inside the room. Immediately,
without thinking he crawled towards them. His eyes were glittering, just like a dog''s eye seeing a fresh
meaty bone.
"Please sell all these things of mine as soon as possible!" Rocky said to Shawn, who was standing up.
Building a new bigger and betterboratory would cost Rocky a lot of money. Thus, he was badly in
need of some fast money.
"No problem," Shawn quickly agreed.
"And please buy some customized materials and tools for me," Rocky said. He drew a few diagrams
and left them with Shawn, telling him to buy the materials and tools ording to his drawings.
After that, Rocky left the branch of Super Beast Farm for the main camp.
Arriving at the gate of the main camp, Rocky was halted by a few snobbish guards due to his slovenly
appearance. He was forced to show them the Crimson Dragon Token given by Lance. Of course, as
soon as they saw the token, the guards changed their attitude immediately, bowing to Rocky
respectfully and hinting him toe into the main camp, as if he was a god.
Rocky was going to meet Sheridan first. But then he suddenly remembered that he hadn''t seen Sue for
a long time. Consequently, he changed his mind and went to the Isis Pavilion first.
"Sue?" Rocky called out her name outside the Isis Pavilion.
Very soon, a slim and graceful figure walked out of the Isis Pavilion. Rocky''s eyes lit up when he saw
that Sue had be even more beautiful and grown up since thest time they had met.
Sue was delighted to see Rocky. Immediately, she pulled him into the Isis Pavilion.
"Mr. Bai, I heard that you''ve just made new contributions to the front line. Is that true?" Sue asked,
excitement shown all over her small face.
"Who told you that?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Everybody in the main camp knows about it. Even the middle-aged women who wash vegetables in
the kitchen know the legendary hero called Rocky Bai among our Crimson Dragon Army," Sue
answered, looking admiringly at Rocky.
"Really? Strange. I didn''t know that I have be so famous," Rocky said with an indifferent smile.
"By the way, is Rubygon here with you?" Sue asked, blinking. She looked a little sad not seeing
Rubygon.
"Yes, I brought it, but I''m afraid that you will be scared when you see it in its current state," Rocky
replied smilingly.
However, his answer made Sue even more curious than afraid. She insisted on seeing Rubygon.
"Let''s go outside first," Rocky warned. He didn''t think it would be good to make Rubygon appear inside
the Isis Pavilion, so he stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
Sue followed after him immediately.
After stopping in his tracks, Rocky unfolded one of his hands and shook it in the air. Immediately, a
crack appeared in the invisible air.
As soon as she saw the crack, Sue asked in amazement and shock, "Is this the Magic Spiritual Space?
Mr. Bai, you now possess the power of the Heavenly Stage? Oh my Heavens!"
