Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 243

"What? The Beast Curing Skill? You want to learn how to do it right now? Well, I must say...that it seems a bit early for you to learn how to do it right now. You're not qualified to develop that skill yet. Remember that the prerequisite of learning the Beast Curing Skill is to master the Beast Evaluation Skill first. The Beast Evaluation Skill is the foundation of the Beast Curing Skill. But most importantly, you need to at least reach the second grade of the Beast Evaluation Skill if you want to learn the Beast Curing Skill. And in order to learn the Beast Curing Skill, you also need to grasp the most basic medical abilities and knowledge, along with having a full understanding of the characteristics of all the spirit-manipulated beasts. And furthermore..." Sheridan continued to reel off a lot of conditions, determined to prove the complexity of the situation to Rocky, who had just declared his intention to learn the advanced skill. As Rocky's master, Sheridan would be responsible for teaching him all the skills necessary. Nevertheless, he thought Rocky was being a little hasty, as Rocky wanted to learn the skill immediately.

"I have to reach the second grade for the Beast Evaluation Skill? Well, that won't be a problem for me," Rocky responded flippantly, unable to help shrugging his shoulders at the requirements that Sheridan was reeling off. His current Beast Evaluation Skill level was actually already at the middle stage of the second grade. Although it might still take him some time to reach the third grade, he'd at least reached the prerequisite level needed for the Beast Curing Skill.

"What do you mean it's not a problem for you?" Sheridan asked, flabbergasted as he stared at Rocky, wondering if he'd lost his mind.

"I mean, I meet the prerequisites you just said for learning the Beast Curing Skill," Rocky responded casually, arms folded over his chest. He was eager to learn more from his master and wouldn't easily give up the idea of learning the Beast Curing Skill.

"Look, buddy, are you kidding me right now? You're not even a beast evaluator, let alone reach the second grade for the Beast Evaluation Skill. If your Beast Evaluation Skill was already in the second grade right now, actual beast evaluators ought to be ashamed of themselves!" Sheridan exclaimed, with an incredulous expression on his face. It wasn't that he didn't believe him, but he simply found it difficult to believe that Rocky might have hidden his skills on purpose.

If he ever discovered that not only did Rocky learn the Beast Evaluation Skill, but that he also had learned the legendary, most powerful Magical Evaluation Skill, his jaw might have hit the ground. The Magical Evaluation Skill was such a highly coveted skill and such a treasure that most beast evaluators dream of being able to master it.

The most powerful part of the Magical Evaluation Skill was that it encompassed everything about the beast evaluation. Even today, most of the powerful Beast Evaluation Skills commonly used throughout the Wild Spirit Land were derived from the Magical Evaluation Skill. And even then, those skills were just a small part of it. It could be said that the Magical Evaluation Skill had ultimately perfected the beast evaluation system, which was already extremely comprehensive and replete with all kinds of Beast Evaluation Skills.

A while back, at the Superb Beast Farm, Rocky had a beast evaluation competition with two excellent beast evaluators present on the spot. Rocky displayed the two very famous Beast Evaluation Skills throughout the entire Wild Spirit Land in public. It had shocked the audience beyond belief. And yet, the two skills he displayed were the two most basic Beast Evaluation Skills from the Magical Evaluation Skill. The display only served to show him how truly powerful this Magical Evaluation Skill was.

In spite of all above, the most amazing thing that happened to Rocky was that under the premise of learning the Magical Evaluation Skill, he also found himself the only disciple of the most outstanding master on the Wild Spirit Land who was also known as a beast tamer and beast curer. If he could learn everything from his master successfully, it was doubtless that he would become the most famed and omnipotent figure in this Wild Spirit Land.

"Do you think I have a reason to lie to you?" Rocky simply asked his master. He raised his eyebrows and thought, 'I didn't mean to let slip that I have mastered the Beast Evaluation Skill. But since it is one of the prerequisites for learning the Beast Curing Skill, I have no other choice but to tell you. Of course, I'll still never tell you that I've learned the Beast Evaluation Skill. Otherwise, I don't know what would happen... You might have a heart attack.'

"Of course you do! You said you want to learn Beast Curing Skill, didn't you? The conditions of learning this Beast Curing Skill are so severe that you'd say just about anything to make me teach you the skill," Sheridan answered, scoffing at the thought of Rocky's real motives. He knew he had to be cautious; he had high standards in selecting a disciple. And he certainly wouldn't teach the Beast Curing Skill to just about anyone.

"Then, what can I do to convince you?" Rocky quickly asked. He stared helplessly at Sheridan, feeling desperate as he thought, 'This old man is playing hardball. Maybe... I have to show my skill in front of him to prove I am qualified, if I want to learn the Beast Curing Skill.'

Sheridan stared at Rocky for a moment before a thought seemed to come to him. He gestured to him and said, "Follow me." He turned on his heel and walked off to the direction of the beast farm.

Rocky raised his eyebrows. Realizing now that the old man wanted to test his strength, he hurried after his master.

It wasn't long before Sheridan led Rocky directly to the beast farm's barn, opening its doorways wide. Inside, Rocky saw a baby spirit-manipulated beast.

"This cub was sent here earlier today. Although its qualities aren't too bad, and it was born to a two-star beast, it seems to have a very serious defect. If your Beast Evaluation Skill is really at the second grade as you say, then it shouldn't be difficult for you to figure out what the defect is," Sheridan explained thoughtfully. It was clear that he wanted to test whether the strength of Rocky had really achieved the second grade, just as he had claimed. However, there was the possibility that the defect he mentioned might not be determined by the Beast Evaluation Skill at the second grade. There was a likelihood that he was trying to simply discourage Rocky so that he would give up the idea. He didn't think that Rocky was ready to learn the Beast Curing Skill just yet. After all, if his foundation wasn't strong enough, then it would be very difficult for his training later on. He always believed that old saying, "Rome wasn't built in a day."
