Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 44

Among all the nature and qualities which the spirit-manipulated beast had, Rocky recognized a special one which was a silvery ray. It was usually owned by spiritual beasts, dragons, or other extremely rare species. The silvery ray stood for Ice, which was the same as the Ice of dragon spiritual power owned by a royal spirit manipulator. Generally, a war beast couldn't have such a property.

But some war beasts, according to the Beast Encyclopedia, had the same special abilities as the spiritual beasts if their ancestors were hybrids of war beasts and spiritual beasts. Thus, a war beast might have a hidden spiritual ability like a recessive gene. Once activated, the recessive gene could release a special ability typically owned by a spiritual beast.

So the nature of Ice shown by Cloud Tiger could be regarded as an inherited recessive gene. It would have the same nature of Ice as a spiritual beast would after being activated.

"Now Flint, you owe me a big favor," Rocky grinned.

After checking out other nature and qualities of Cloud Tiger, Rocky concluded that apart from the hidden Ice, it had strong force and sensitivity but very weak defense which was represented by a blue ray. It meant Cloud Tiger would appear strong but had bad resistance to attacks, which was probably attributed to its genes. Since Ice was the most defensive nature, Cloud Tiger could make up its defect, once its Ice was activated.

"Little Tiger, do you want to be stronger?" Rocky cuddled its head.

Spirit-manipulated beasts usually repelled or even opposed people they disliked. Perhaps there were some traits in Rocky which made Cloud Tiger obey him.

Cloud Tiger howled as if replying to Rocky.

"Alright then, let's get started. The time your master gave is not going to be enough. I will have Uriah practice with you these three days. You should be careful with him because he is very sexually active and violent. I hope it behaves well, especially after it sees a female beast like you." Rocky patted Cloud Tiger's head. Then he summoned Uriah.

Seeing Cloud Tiger, Uriah was not modest at all and rushed at her with alacrity. Cloud Tiger was too scared to react and got beaten off the ground, rolling back a few meters. At a respectable distance she was able to stand up. She was so irritated that she roared at Uriah, staring at it angrily.

"Be tougher, Uriah. Don't be shy," Rocky firmly commanded.

Uriah howled furiously and rushed at Cloud Tiger again.

After an hour-long fight, Cloud Tiger was on the ground, wounded and panting, while Uriah was crouched on the other side, expecting another attack. After a moment's hesitation, it licked Cloud Tiger's wound, which healed instantly like nothing had happened before.

"The fight has to be fiercer tomorrow," Rocky deliberated as he brought Cloud Tiger back to the room.

Seeing them return, Flint checked out Cloud Tiger. He calmly asked Rocky, "You didn't do anything strange to Cloud Tiger, did you?"
