Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 45 Double The Efforts

Only Rocky's face seemed uninterested about the Dragon Birth Festival because he devoted himself to

the Beast Evaluation Skill and studying the genetic makeup of spirit-manipulated beasts

wholeheartedly and exclusively. Thus, he didn't pay much attention to the exchange of experience and

skills.

"Bear and Flint, come on out," Mia called.

Bear walked through the crowd of young men.

"You two have reached the third grade of the Mysterious Dragon Skill?" Mia asked.

Hearing this, the other young men discussed in surprise and admiration as most of them were just

between the first grade and the second grade. Even the best of them could only reach the second

grade.

Apparently, Bear and Flint were one step ahead of everybody else.

"I never expected Flint to also reach the third grade of the Mysterious Dragon Skill." Even Rocky was a

little surprised. He didn't communicate much with Flint so he knew little about him. The only thing he

heard was that like Bear, Flint also reached the third grade of the Mortal Stage after fusing with the

Dragon Spirit Bead. Now it appeared as if Flint's qualifications were as good as Bear's.

"Master Mia, are we allowed to begin learning the spiritual martial arts?" Bear asked eagerly. Given the

fact that the spiritual martial arts was one of the most efficient ways to improve their power, it meant

that it could also strengthen their spiritual power. Therefore, studying the spiritual martial arts was like

hitting two birds with one stone.

Compared to Bear, Flint was calmer.

"That is correct. When one reaches the third grade of the Mysterious Dragon Skill, he also becomes

qualified to learn the spiritual martial arts. I've almost forgotten about that," Rocky muttered to himself.

Now that he was at the fifth grade of the Mysterious Dragon Skill, he had also achieved the

qualifications to learn the spiritual martial arts. However, how could he learn that under the current

circumstances where he must hide his real strength?

"That's why I asked you out here. From now on, you will begin to learn the spiritual martial arts with two

deputies. Besides, they will also serve as your partners in training," Mia ordered while nodding.

"Alright," Bear answered with excitement.

Flint also nodded.

The two then left with the two deputies under the envious eyes of the other young men.

"If you want to learn the spiritual martial arts like them, you should all start working harder. Train with

your partners now and stop wasting time. Basil, come with me," Mia called Rocky, who was still worried

about how he could learn the spiritual martial arts. Mia then turned away.

Interrupted by Mia's voice, Rocky feared that something might be wrong but he still unwillingly followed

her.

At the sight of that, the other young men all gloated over Rocky's misfortune.

Till they were away from the crowd, Mia stopped and said, "From now on, you only train with me."

"Huh?" Rocky was both stunned and confused. He couldn't figure out Mia's intention.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Mia stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

"No, of course not. But I remember that you told me yesterday to double my efforts in training. Why are

you suddenly asking me to train with you?" Rocky asked in confusion.

"Don't you think training with me already means doubling your efforts?" Mia replied with cold eyes.

Rocky's heart jolted as his whole body trembled. He assumed that Mia would take the opportunity to fix

him. If his assumption was right, he would surely suffer. Undoubtedly, training with him was the best

excuse Mia could find. Even though Rocky was badly injured, it was nothing more than an industrial

accident.

"What exactly is wrong with me? How exactly did I offend Mia?" Rocky sighed in his heart. However, he

soon came up with a good idea and said, "Master Mia, since we are training together, you better not

fight me with all your strength."

"Of course, how much of it do you think you could take?" Mia laughed scornfully. If she used all her

strength, she could defeat Rocky effortlessly.

"Master Mia, now that I need to double my efforts in training, it wouldn't be enough for you to just

control your power to be at the same grade as mine. How about you bring your power to the third grade

of the Mortal Stage? Moreover, you can only use the spiritual martial arts in the Mortal Stage. Would

that be alright?" Rocky proposed.

"You got it. I will do as you wish. Don't blame me if you get badly hurt in our training." The eyes of Mia,

as cold and sharp as an ice shard, shot straight into Rocky's eyes. Mia was convinced that with her

power at the third grade of the Mortal Stage and the lowest level of the spiritual martial arts, she still

could teach Rocky a lesson. She decided to train with Rocky because she wanted to reverse his

momentum. After a series of observations, she discovered that Rocky almost made no progress in his

month of exemption from training which meant that he must have been slacking. Therefore, Mia

planned to motivate him harder through their intensified training.

Although Rocky had already fused with the Holy Dragon Bead, his performance was still barely

satisfactory. Most importantly, Mia didn't want to be looked upon as an incapable teacher who trained a

royal spirit manipulator who had fused with the Holy Dragon Bead to be nobody. No matter how weak

the qualifications of Rocky was, Mia thought he could make up for his lack of natural talent through

hard work which was better than accomplish nothing at all. Moreover, according to Rocky's previous

performance, Mia still had some faith in him.

"Well, we should begin," Rocky said, eager to grow stronger.

A subtle hint of arrogance appeared in Mia's pretty eyes. It seemed that Rocky had no worries about

his situation. Mia thought that she would never let him off even if he begged for mercy.

Mia's legs stomped on the ground as she instantly flew in the air and rushed towards Rocky. Her two

forefingers drew closer where a finger force shot out as a light shone on her fingertips which then ran

directly towards Rocky's chest.

As quickly as he could, Rocky stepped back to his right side as the finger force just brushed against his

shoulder and hit the ground. Immediately, it exploded and flashed some splashing sparks.

"That is great. What is that?" Rocky asked.

"The Deity Finger..." Mia replied unconsciously.

"How did you create it? Like this?" Rocky imitated Mia. He put his forefingers together and gathered the

dragon spiritual power of the Dragon Spirit Marks on his fingertips but he couldn't release a complete

force like Mia did.

"You're doing it wrong. You must first gather the power onto your palms and then shoot it from your

fingertips." Mia shook her head as she corrected Rocky.

"Oh. I understand." Rocky kept her advice in his mind.

"Even you are able to grasp it, you still won't be able to apply it in practice due to your low grade of the

Mysterious Dragon Skill, so you should just forget about it," Mia scoffed intentionally. However, she

knew nothing about Rocky's purpose. He made the mistake because he wanted to learn the details of

the spiritual martial arts directly from her.

Rocky, who just shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be innocent.

"Let's continue!" Noticing Rocky had stopped imitating, Mia immediately turned her palms over. Palm

shadows then overlapped, making it difficult to tell which ones were real.

Rocky looked at them carefully but he still couldn't figure out the real ones. At that point, all the palm

shadows ran towards him and hit his right shoulder. It was so mighty that he struggled to pull himself

together after getting thrown backwards a few meters.
