Chapter 856 Life Saver


    On the other side, Rocky and Juey returned to the rest area. Upon returning, all of the Cao n


    members, including Chief Luci and Lucas, weed them with great enthusiasm, as if they were


    victorious heroes that returned from a battle.


    Thanks to Rocky''s amazing strength, the Cao n was saved from a dead end. The n was grateful


    for a hero like him. They regarded Rocky as their life saver. It was of great significance for the Cao


    n to enter the next round and be able to continue the contest. This gave them a glimmer of hope


    that they could prosper once more.


    "Mr. Rookie, it was truly eye-opening!" Lucas eximed among the crowd. His eyes sparkled with


    excitement and emotions that couldn''t be put into words. Although he already knew that Rocky was an


    extraordinary individual with a unique ability, he didn''t expect him to be so powerful that he could


    disy three kinds of Beast Evaluation Skills at the same time. Even more astonishing was the fact


    that he disyed the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill that everyone thought had disappeared for 300


    years. Lucas, the strongest beast evaluator in the Timber Deity Empire, couldn''t help but admire


    Rocky''s disy of power.


    For now, Lucas was certain that he was still superior over Rocky. However, Lucas knew that Rocky


    could potentially surpass him one day and be a grandmaster. If thetter kept this up, it wouldn''t


    take long for him to be the only powerful beast evaluator in the Wild Spirit Land. In Lucas'' eyes,


    Rocky was like a piece of pure jade. Within a few years, he would be polished into one of the most


    outstanding talents and could potentially overshadow all the other beast evaluators in the Wild Spirit


    Land.


    Lucas sighed with slight envy at Rocky for being able to achieve so much at his age. He now began to


    appreciate Rocky less like a senior to a junior and more like a master to his apprentice. He hoped that


    Rocky would surpass him as well as the strongest beast evaluator in the Wild Spirit Land. Pushing


    himself beyond his limits would help him make progress. He hoped to witness this with his own eyes.


    Before Rocky, no other apprentice was able to make a grandmaster like Lucas set such high


    expectations. Lucas never recalled any simr experience, even when his apprentice was brilliant.


    Rocky had certainly impressed this master with his amazing power and skills.


    Lucas wasn''t the only one to admit Rocky''s greatness. Many people, including the chief of the Cao


    n, acknowledged and felt the same way as well.


    "Mr. Rookie, we all owe you a lot. No words can properly express my gratitude for your kindness. Also,


    I need to apologize to you for questioning your abilities earlier. Even with eyes, I failed to recognize the


    greatness in you. Please forgive me!" Luci pleaded with sincerity. Her tone was modest as she put


    aside her identity as a chief and thanked Rocky as best as she could. She knew that if it weren''t for


    him, the Cao n would''ve already lost to the Qi n. If they had lost thispetition of beast


    evaluation, they would lose their chance of fighting against the Qi n forever. She was aware of how

    crucial his win was for the Cao n.


    "You''re wee, Chief Luci. I''m ttered. It was nothing. Don''t mention it. If you''ll excuse me. See


    youter," Rocky replied with a smile before nodding towards Juey. Together, they left in full view of the


    members of the Cao n.


    "Wait! Hold on, please!" Luci shouted from behind. Rocky left so abruptly that she didn''t have time to


    react. She wanted to stay with him a little longer and get to know him more like where he was from and


    who his master was. But Lucas waved his hand to stop her.


    "Chief, please be patient. Mr. Rookie isn''t an ordinary person so he has a good reason to conceal his


    abilities as much as possible. I know you want him to continue helping our n, but we need to take it


    one step at a time," he exined to her. As an old man who had seen a great deal in his life, Lucas


    turned out to be more experienced than his chief. He could tell that they and Rocky were on the same


    boat. If they pushed him too much, they would drive him away and he would quit helping the n. They


    needed to carefully assess the situation first before making their next move.


    "But the Qi n may also want to recruit him." Luci murmured despondently. She understood that a


    genius like Rocky would want his privacy, but his recent performance was just too hard to avoid and


    would surely grab the attention of the Qi n, the Cao n''s biggest opponent. This idea would keep


    thetter n awake at night because they knew that the Qi n would do everything they could to win


    Rocky over. That was why Luci was so determined to find out which side Rocky would choose. She


    suspected that the Qi n would do everything within their power to buy Rocky off, a practice they had


    done more than once in the past couple of years. The n was good at getting whatever they wanted


    through any means necessary, even if it was inferior. This led to a lot of the beast masters that once


    worked for the Cao n to be coaxed away. But Rocky was different from these beast masters. He


    was too important for them to lose. Luci decided that she would not let the Qi n take him away, at


    any cost.


    "You''re right. We need to pay attention to what the Qi n n on doing next or else they will take Mr.


    Rookie away. The Qi n will try to be as inconspicuous as possible, but we can''t push too hard on Mr.


    Rookie. If he was easy to manipte by the Qi n, he wouldn''t refuse to participate in the Beast


    Master Contest. He isn''t the type of person to be easily swayed by the trap of power and interests,"


    Lucas said with wisdom.


    "Then how do you think we should convince him to stay on our side?" Luci asked, looking into


    Lucas''s eyes with hesitation.


    "Chief, have you noticed how Mr. Rookie treats Miss Juey? Think about it more and I think you''ll


    understand," Lucas proposed. They needed to approach their goal like a roundabout, starting with


    Juey. They all noticed how Rocky treated Juey and decided to gain Rocky''s favor by turning to the


    people he cared about instead.


    Smart as Luci was, she got Lucas''s words immediately and nodded in agreement.


    Right then, Queenie returned to them in a great hurry. She was looking all over for Rocky. "Where is


    that guy? I want to see him now!" she shouted when she failed to find him. She appeared anxious.


    "Don''t talk like that, Queenie. You''re being rude. Mr. Rookie is our honored guest now. Watch your


    words!" Luci reminded her, an unpleasant expression all over her face.


    "I don''t care about what he means to our n. I just risked my life to help him ward off the princess, but


    he ran away. I need to find him and ask him to…hmmm…" Queenie mumbled and turned away. It


    seemed that she wouldn''t give up until she got exactly what she wanted.


    "Do you notice that Queenie pays lots of attention to Mr. Rookie? It''s weird. She doesn''t hate Mr.


    Rookie, but..." Being a woman as well, Luci could sense the slight shift in her younger sister''s tone of


    voice at the mention of Rocky''s name. She found it improper.


    "It isn''t a bad thing, especially for the Cao n. Please don''t worry," Lucas said meaningfully. He


    seemed to know something beforehand.


    Luci was a little puzzled hearing Lucas''s words. She had no idea what he was talking about. Her


    younger sister was changing suddenly. Queenie used to despise men like dirt, and she had lots of


    problems with Rocky before. But now she was thinking of him all the time and became impatient when


    he was not around. A girl''s heart was always a mystery.
