Chapter 925 See You Again
As the dust dissipated, Robin slowly emerged forward with a swagger. In the pit behind ity the Ghost
Lion, badly mangled with countless wounds all over its body. It let out several pained howls before
finally dying. Once the Ghost Lion went silent, Robin arrogantly looked around at the crowd, and then
raised its strong front limbs in a victorious gesture.
Upon seeing this, the spectators began cheering and apuding wildly. They could not believe that
they had just witnessed Robin, a spirit-manipted beast at the third grade of the three-star level,
defeating a spirit-manipted beast at the third grade of the four-star level. What was more, this
particr Ghost Lion was far superior to the other Ghost Lions at the same level!
''Whoa, I won the reward of three hundred thousand taels of gold.'' As he watched the crowd go crazy
over Robin, Rocky raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"It seems that there is more to your spirit-manipted beast than what meets the eye. What is its
background?" Woods asked curiously, his brows furrowed in confusion. The way Robin had fought with
the Ghost Lion made it look as if its master had been there to control it. However, the truth was that it
had easily defeated its opponent, a spirit-manipted beast whose strength was one whole star higher
than its own, by itself.
Of course, what Woods and the other spectators didn''t know was that Robin''s strength could no longer
be measured by the regr spirit-manipted beasts'' standards set by human beings, because after
the transformation, Robin''s potential far exceeded those standards. Even most of the spiritual beasts
would be no match for it.
As a matter of fact, Robin''s actual strength was at least above the third grade of the four-star level. So
naturally, it was a piece of cake for it to defeat an opponent like the Ghost Lion.
Plus, with its increasingbat experience, Robin''s strength would continue to rise. Even Rocky didn''t
know how much progress it could make in regard to its strength. But ording to the previous
assessment, if it continued to participate in simrbat, it would be able to reach the fourth grade of
the four-star level or higher soon. This meant that its strength would be simr to or even surpass that
of a spirit maniptor at the Supernal Stage.

"Damn it, who on earth is this spirit-manipted beast''s master?" A few seats away from Woods and
Rocky, a man stood up and cursed loudly with a livid expression on his face. The henchmen near the
man also put on a gloomy face.
Upon hearing this, Woods turned to Rocky and raised his eyebrows. "Well, I just remembered that
Robin''s opponent belonged to a spirit maniptor of my elder brother. He won a lot of money with that
Ghost Lion, but I guess that he has lost his source of ie now."
"Did you do it on purpose?" Judging by the smug look on Woods'' face, Rocky could tell that he had
already known this from the beginning.
"Let''s go. I believe my brother will find out soon, but there''s no need to run into him now," Woods said,
standing up to leave.
Rocky shook his head with a smile and followed him.
Just as expected, the eldest prince, Algy immediately sent his men to investigate Robin''s background
and soon found that it was rted to Woods somehow. He wanted to confront Woods about it, but it
turned out that Woods had already left. The news of his younger brother''s departure only made him
more furious.
Meanwhile, Rocky was on his way back with Woods after retrieving Robin.
It was already gettingte, but Woods was suddenly struck by an idea.
"Oh, let''s go meet someone!" he said enthusiastically.
"Who?" Rocky nced curiously at Woods.
"You will know when we get there." Woods ushered Rocky into a carriage and ryed their destination
to the coachman.
As they headed to the northeast part of the capital city, Rocky took in the scenery outside and chatted
lightly with Woods.
Soon, the carriage came to a halt. After getting off, Rocky saw a magnificent two-story building with a
spired roof in front of him. The building was brilliantly illuminated, and the que above the door read,
"Laney Pavilion."
As soon as Rocky saw what was on the que, he thought of the Laney he knew.
"Come on in." Woods, who got off the carriage behind him, patted him on the shoulder and ushered
him into the building.
In the hall on the first floor, there were many well-dressed guests who looked like they were nobles.
They were all enjoying thepany of several pretty girls who looked much more refined and elegant
than the girls in ordinary brothels.
As he walked forward, Rocky heard the melodious sound of the zithering from the second floor.
The melody flowed like water —at times as gentle as a stream, and other times as turbulent as a river.
All in all, it sounded quite mesmerizing.
"Your Royal Highness!" Just then, a man in expensive clothes appeared in front of them and bowed to
Woods.
"Are there any guests upstairs?" asked Woods.
"Yes, there are several distinguished guests. Should I report your presence?" the man asked.
"No, thanks. I''ve just brought my friend here to listen to the music." Woods gestured to Rocky.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, sir, this way please," the man said, throwing a curious nce at Rocky
before turning to the stairs. He knew that Rocky must be someone significant to be referred to as a
friend by the prince, but he had never seen him before.
When they reached the second floor, Rocky quickly took in his surroundings.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor was decorated in a much more elegant way. There were
several luxurious sandalwood tables, and only one guest was sitting at each of those tables. Although
the guests were all dressed casually, it was obvious from their demeanor that they were powerful
figures.
Hearing Woods and Rocky walk in, the men sitting there immediately looked back at them. As soon as
they saw Woods, they stood up and saluted him.
Woods simply waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down. After that, they all continued to listen
to the music.
"These are highly-ranked officials, right?" Rocky asked casually after sitting down in a secluded corner
with Woods.
"The one in the colorful robe is from the military department. Sitting next to him is a member of the
royal family. These are all important officials of the Timber Deity Empire," Woods exined briefly.
"What on earth is this ce?" Rocky asked curiously. No matter how he looked at it, this ce didn''t
look like an ordinary brothel.
"It''s a ce where officialse to have fun. But it is much safer than other brothels. Besides, most of
theme here for the beauty who is ying the zither behind the curtain." Woods turned his gaze to
the front of the room.
Rocky followed suit and saw a beautiful figure sitting behind the gauze curtain. Her slender fingers
were carefully plucking the zither. For some reason, she looked really familiar. When he recalled the
que he had seen beforeing in, he immediately realized who this beauty was. He smiled lightly
and turned to Woods. "Why is she here?"
