Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 302

The area outside the bamboo forest echoed in shocked silence. All the audience stood in amazement as they looked at each other as if to check if the others had also seen what they saw.

Up until that moment, everyone believed that Rocky would lose. He was the underdog of the contest, and the situation was not favorable to him. And yet, contrary to everyone's expectations, he was able to turn the tide and turn a crushing defeat into a victorious win.

"The strength of that strike was almost at the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage. It's unimaginable how he had reached the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage!" Isis exclaimed in surprise. Her hand fluttered by her side, unable to sit still in her astonishment.

Upon Isis' exclamation, chaos erupted from the audience. The commanders and officers tuned to each other in disbelief. They asked each other but no one had any real answers as they all drew blanks. They could only guess and those with experience had better hypothesis than others.

"At this time, he was still hiding his real strength?" Marin's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the field in front of her.

However, no one could accurately judge if the attack they had seen was deliberately made or if it was struck accidentally.

"Ha-ha-ha..." Lance who had been silent throughout the debacle abruptly burst into hearty laughter. He could not hide his amazement, and marveled at the scene in front of him. "Instead of using the power at the eighth grade of the Earthly Stage, he used the power at the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage so his opponents would underestimate him. He also deliberately revealed his flaws to pretend to end up in elimination when actually his previous opponent was just a dummy and his real target was another Deputy Commander. He is really skilled in stratagem. It is nearly impossible to defend effectively against him!"

Lance explained to those around him patiently, uncovering the mystery to them.

This statement instantly sparked debate among those who were able to hear. Heated discussion from the commanders and officers caused some of the audience to look at their direction when the noise became too loud. They thought of Rocky as a monster. They could not believe how he was able to come up with such an ingenious plan amidst a dire situation, how he made use of his concealed power to turn the tables.

"If he is so powerful, why didn't he go all out from the very beginning?" one of the commanders asked curiously.

"If he had shown his hand right from the start, his opponents would have been on the defensive, making them harder to beat. Although Rocky was more powerful than the two Deputy Commanders, he also knew that there was no assurance he would completely defeat them. In this way, he used the power at the sixth grade of the Earthly Stage to mislead his opponents. Then he pretended to be eliminated to put the Deputy Commander in red at easy and keep him blind to his plans. As a result, it was too late when he recognized Rocky's true power. In this way, his plans worked... What exactly is in this man's mind? How could he devise such an ingenious plan?!" Isis couldn't help but express her appreciation. Even she, if she was in a similar situation, may not conceive a plan like that. However, it seemed that Rocky was clear about his plans and how he should execute it right from the start.

Except Rocky, the six spirit manipulators who won in the first round and entered the second round were all Deputy Commanders. Among them, three came from the east-southeast military camp.

The whole team composed of Deputy Commander Chen and other two Deputy Commanders were crushed under the attack of the team made up of spirit manipulators of the east-southeast military camp.

Therefore, Rocky who was representing the northeast military camp, entered the second round as the only one who was not a Deputy Commander.

Since the second round would be held on the next day, Rocky and other spirit manipulators from the northeast military camp were arranged to rest in the headquarters.

After they arrived early in the residence, Rocky decided to go and see Sue and Rubygon. As soon as he walked out of the residence, he saw an old man appear before him.

"Sheridan?" Rocky greeted the man in surprise. His eyebrows lifted in amazement at the unexpected visitor.
