Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 408

"In fact, my Blade Spirit Skill isn't the strongest spiritual power. The Sima Clan offers many kinds of skills that have been designed for people with different physiques. For example, there is one skill called Toxin Spirit Skill. Basically, if a man uses and gains mastery with that skill, his spiritual power will give out a kind of toxin, and his opponent will be poisoned as soon as the man tries to hit him," Dunn said, though his description sounded somewhat exaggerated.

"If that's the case, then why did you come to join the army of the Holy Dragon Empire instead of staying with the Sima Clan to continue your training?" Rocky asked out of curiosity.

"My father was once a Commander of the Holy Dragon Empire as well. Nonetheless, shortly after my birth, he died fighting on the battlefield. My mother was a former member of the Sima Clan. Thus, after my father's death, she went back to her clan. But when I turned sixteen years old, she died as well. When she was dying, she urged me repeatedly to serve the Holy Dragon Empire by being a Commander just like my father. Then I would fulfill my father's unfulfilled wish," Dunn sighed heavily. Everyone could tell this was an emotional topic for Dunn to discuss.

"I see," Rocky replied back, sighing too. Dunn's background and life experience surprised him. He hadn't expected such hardship from this man.

"How about we switch topics, Rocky? You're interested in the Blade Spirit Skill, aren't you? Let me teach it to you," Dunn offered.

"Honestly, Dunn, I don't think it's proper for you to disclose that to me," Rocky said, somewhat surprised.

"Don't think like that. You are my friend now. I'm willing to share whatever I have with you. Besides, the Blade Spirit Skill generally takes at least ten years to gain proficiency and fifteen years to control it effectively without strain; thus, it is usually taught during childhood. Few ordinary spirit manipulators can be so patient to practice it," Dunn explained. He didn't seem concerned about the risks of sharing it with Rocky.

"Okay then, thank you," Rocky replied and nodded.

Dunn then began explaining about the Blade Spirit Skill in detail.

While keeping the practicing method in mind, Rocky went on drinking the wine together with Dunn. He bid his farewell and left the tent. As soon as he walked out of the main camp, he released the four beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space. They then all went back together.

However, upon arriving at his place, Rocky's face darkened. He discovered that the building was just about razed to the ground. His laboratory was largely destroyed, in which the tools and samples were flung all over the ground.

The two-star and three-star materials and rare items he had acquired from the wild spirit-manipulated beasts were gone. There was nothing left except a few worn baskets left in the broken laboratory.

"Damn Timber Deity Empire!" Rocky cursed out loud in an incensed voice, gritting his teeth together and clenching his jaw. Unmistakably, his place had been ransacked by the troops of the Timber Deity Empire during their invasion. Fortunately, he had carried the Dark Heaven Insect Queen and the three Dark Heaven Insects with him before leaving here last time. They were safe. Otherwise, the Dark Heaven Insects would have been discovered and taken away by the troops of the Timber Deity Empire. That was for sure.

Rocky's heart was broken as he looked at his ravaged and destroyed laboratory. Most of the samples had been wiped out or stolen. Fortunately for him though, he had analyzed and recorded the data of most of the samples before he left. Otherwise, the amount of loss would have driven him to despair.

'It seems that I can no longer stay here. I have to find a safer place, and there I will build a more secure laboratory, ' he decided on.

He entered the destroyed laboratory and rummaged around. He picked up some tools and samples that could still be of use and threw all of them into the Magic Spiritual Space.

After going through and reclaiming everything, Rocky left for Evian City together with the four beasts.

When they were about to arrive at Evian City, Rocky sent the four beasts to the Magic Spiritual Space. Once he entered the city, he first went to a branch of the Super Beast Farm.

The owner of the branch was Shawn Huang. As soon as he caught sight of Rocky, he grinned from ear to ear. He knew Rocky would give him money, because Rocky did so every time he came here. It was good news for Shawn.

"Mr. Huang, please arrange a vacant room for me," Rocky requested.

"A vacant room? Mr. Bai, what do you want with a vacant room?" Shawn asked in confusion.

"Why do you need to know that? Do you want my money or not?" Rocky firmly asked while giving Shawn a long glare.
