Chapter 853 Anticipation
A distance of ten meters separated Rocky and Carter from Alyssa. Evaluating the small spiritual beast
that she cradled in her hands—the Fox Marten—would be an extremely challenging task for the duo.
The sess of performing the Beast Evaluation Skill would be based on the spiritual power one held.

What made any evaluation skill difficult was taking into ount both performing it and sustaining it at
such arge distance. Moreover, the Fox Marten was in the hands of one of the most powerful masters
of the Divine Stage. Thus, her powerful aura as well would influence the performing of the Beast
Evaluation Skill.
Now, Rocky and Carter needed to find a way to properly evaluate the beast from that distance while it
was under Alyssa''s invisible influence. This proved to be more difficult than they initially thought.
Carter was momentarily stunned, knowing that Alyssa deliberately created such challenges during
man as powerful as you is unable to summon the three Beast Evaluation Skills from this distance. Let''s
see how you''ll beat me after this!" Upon saying these words, Carter lifted his Eight-trigram Mirror which
began to hover in the air as he imparted his spiritual power into it before heading straight for Alyssa. An
odd colored light beamed down from the mirror and surrounded the Fox Marten instantly like a cloak.
Carter''s sudden attack caused quite amotion and led to a heated discussion among the crowd.
However, the audience also recognized that this round was one specifically tailored to Carter''s skills.
On the other side, Rocky stood there, frowning slightly. The crowd saw his face, thinking that he must
be at the end of his wits, awaiting his doom to lose the game.
Carter spared some attention to see Rocky''s reaction. When he confirmed that Rocky did nothing but
stood still, he was sure to win this contest.
"It looks like that Princess Alyssa decides to take side of the Qi n finally..." Lucas uttered with a sigh.
Even before thepetition began, he knew that Rocky was at a total disadvantage.
"Mr. Rookie has done his best. Even if he were to lose this battle, it would still be glorious and
memorable," Luci voiced out her opinion. A faint smile apanied her calm demeanor toward the
situation. If it weren''t for Rocky, the Cao n would have lost at an even earlier round. No matter the
oue, the Cao n was still grateful to him for representing them well.
What mattered to Luci more than winning the Beast Master Contest was discovering a talented beast
evaluator to join her n. That discovery in itself was more precious than winning the contest. The
Beast Master Contest allowed them to keep their eyes wide open for such a prospective beast
evaluator. This made watching thepetitions worthwhile to them.
Luci braced herself for Rocky''s loss and focused on him instead of the oue of the contest.
With the Cao n being reduced to inferiority and Alyssa providing her full support to the Qi n, the
look like an ipetent fool. This provided them all with security andfort.
"I''m d we''ve got princess Alyssa to support us. Otherwise, the Cao n would''ve won this contest
by andslide." Alexander was well aware that the Cao n''s representative was no ordinary beast
evaluator. If it weren''t for Alyssa, he would have been deeply worried and doubtful of Carter''s abilities.
The audience was slightly disappointed that the result of thepetition seemed to be obvious due to
it being specially arranged by Alyssa to be tailored to the Qi n''s liking. Rocky''s performance was
one that had been greatly received by the audience as well.
What they didn''t know was that Alyssa had her own hidden agenda. After all, her cognizance and wit
were what made her such a valuable asset to the Timber Deity Empire. Once she voiced out her
request for a new round, she fixed her eyes on Rocky to observe him better. She wanted to see if he
had some other tricks hidden under his sleeve. In the first three rounds, Rocky was obviously not
exerting all of his effort even when he cornered Carter, who was already desperately using the heretical
Beast Evaluation Skill.
Hence, Alyssa intentionally set thepetition up as a way to test and evaluate Rocky''s full potential.
If Rocky really did want to lead the Cao n to victory, he would do everything in his power to do so.
Carter would never stand a chance against him.
Of course, this was only Alyssa''s theory—and so far, Rocky was proving to be a difficult subject
because he had yet to show his full strength. She had never backed the wrong horse, except for a once
mistaken man who unfortunately never returned.
Rocky knew Alyssa was keeping a close eye on him in addition to knowing that thepetition had
been rigged to test him. That was why he was being careful with his moves. Alyssa wouldn''t let him go
easily and he knew better than to carelessly do something that would reveal his true identity. He didn''t
think that his prediction should prove to be true so soon in thepetition.
But the current situation he was in didn''t give him enough time to think properly. He needed to help the
Cao n win, otherwise his n would be in jeopardy.
When everyone thought Rocky was doomed to lose, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and slowly raised
his hands. Two globe-shaped ck shadows full of spiritual power materialized in his palms. Electric
currents with the color of obsidian danced and flowed through his fingers like ck snakes ready to
strike at any moment.
"I wasn''t nning on using this…" As he gazed at the power he held between his hands, Rocky
steadied his sharp gaze at Alyssa—like swords being unsheathed and aimed at the enemy.
At the same time, Alyssa locked eyes on him and felt as though she was a prey that was about to be
devoured by a ravenous predator.
Rocky''s counterattack took everyone by surprise. They all had no idea what he was about to do, but
they were eagerly anticipating to see what would happen next.
