During the past two days that he had been training hard, Rocky started to feel something strange that went on with his body. Despite his training, his body acted odd—it seemed not to adapt to the strength that it had gained over the workout. As of now, the evil spiritual power in his body had already reached the third grade of the Heavenly Stage. Nevertheless, it was quite strange that he still stayed in the first grade of the Heavenly Stage. During his training, there had been a mismatch between his evil spiritual power and the one that he had, hence, his body was not able to adjust well. In order to take control of the energetic spiritual power, he should start practicing his skill to the third level of the Demonic Fire Skill. Should everything go well, then he would be able to practice both the evil spiritual power and the Fire spiritual power at the same time, all within his body as a circulation.
Having too much more than his current strength, the excessive power in Rocky's body caused him so much pain. Sore and aching, his body meridians went through excruciating pain every time when he finished a circulation with the two kinds of spiritual powers that he had. As for spirit manipulators, every time they upgraded to a new level of strength, the meridians of their entire body would expand. On the other hand, Rocky's body had significantly improved and its strength surpassed that of most people with the help of the magical saliva for his cultivation. However, when compared that with some other spirit manipulator's body at the Heavenly Stage, his body's meridians were still considered to be much stronger than theirs. In conclusion, he should not really be experiencing so much pain and agony with his new found strength.
But now, his current spiritual powers had two kinds of natures. On top of that, the Fire spiritual power kept absorbing the middle and high level Dark Heaven Eggs during its cultivation lately, which was already considered to be of significant improvement. In other words, the two different spiritual powers inside his body had forced his meridians to suffer twice as much of the intensity of one spiritual power.
With that being said, his body's meridians had reached a limit, which was way too much for his threshold. If he did not improve his grade as soon as possible, then he would not be able to achieve the normal cultivation in the shortest time. And if he tried to keep doing the cultivation, his body might get overworked and might even collapse at any moment. Anyone who would experience that would be in so much danger.
Right under his current situation, Rocky had no choice but to go with the most sensible thing to do—to find a way on how to make a breakthrough so that he could reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage.
Meanwhile, as Rocky recalled the fight that he just had with Furious Long-nosed Bear two days ago, something randomly popped in his mind. Right towards the end of their fight, he remembered feeling something changed in his body, right after he encountered a strong impact from Furious Long-nosed Bear. Having not felt anything like it before, it seemed as if he had enough strength to fight. However, the tricky part in the situation was that though he knew that he had enough strength, his body was weak and would not allow such a thing. And because of that, he had not been able to raise his spiritual power to fight against his opponent the best way he could.
'So, if I imagine this correctly, I need to train my body to become stronger so that I can make a breakthrough and reach the higher grade. Because as for me, the stronger the spiritual power the better for it would be such a waste if I don't have a strong enough body to release the power, ' Rocky thought to himself. By how it looked, it seemed that he had already found a clue on how to solve his own problem. As Marin had once mentioned, after a warrior reached the Heavenly Stage, a very strong impact would happen to his or her body every single time they made a breakthrough. Hence, it should be expected that something horrible might happen if there was not enough preparation made to the person's body.
Considering such things, Rocky thought that if he ever wanted to make a breakthrough to achieve his goals, then he would have to train his body harder than what he was used to.
With this, it made complete sense that he had not been able to break through the bottleneck, all because his body was not yet ready. In fact, the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body was much stronger than the power of the Dragon Spirit Bead. And as a result, his body needed to be stronger in order for him to make a breakthrough.
Suddenly, Rocky's eyes lit up as if he had already figured out the root of his problem. Now that he knew what to do, he immediately chose to spend another whole day in the cave just to heal the injuries that he had sustained. Feeling better with his right shoulder, he left the cave with Rainbow Glow Unicorn, and started their journey heading to the dangerous path of the Myriad Beasts Ground.
Knowing that there might be a high chance of danger in the journey, Rocky opted not to take Uriah or Rubygon with him. And besides, he thought that there would be several more days for the two of them to heal their injuries and recover, which was why he asked Rainbow Glow Unicorn and not either of the two. In addition to that, he thought that Rainbow Glow Unicorn would be able to help him escape from the impending danger. With its power, he could hide himself and save his life by using the skill of animalization.
Although he already had a backup plan in case something came up, Rocky still dared not to be careless. During the entire journey, he did nothing but moved forward quite cautiously. After about an hour, in the tall weeds, he found a Pillar-horned Rhinoceros that was sleeping. Being at the third grade of the four-star level, it looked like it was a mixture of a lizard and a rhinoceros due to its body being long and flat. By looking at its outside appearance, Rocky could tell that it was very strong. The Pillar-horned Rhinoceros had a pillar on the top of its head, which was as thick as an adult's arm. The markings on its body were like stars, all over its body.
Rocky's face also grew solemn at the sight of such a wonderful animal in front of him. All of a sudden, he took his upper clothes off. With only his pants on, his sturdy and muscular body seemed to be beaming with strength. Meanwhile, after giving a signal to the Rainbow Glow Unicorn to stay behind, he then raised his spiritual power and threw himself towards the Rhinoceros. Turning into a shadow, he dashed at the animal at full speed.
