Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 86

Rocky, who was cultivating in his room, suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up. All the spiritual power around him glinted like bright stars in the sky. He then hastily flew out of his room and landed on the ground outside. His palms moved the same way leaves flutter in the wind. The spiritual power that sparkled around him soon transformed into a glowing sphere, looking like a miniature universe that he held in his hands. He threw the glowing sphere to the ground, letting it roll away like a bowling ball.

The spiritual power of the Earthly Stage spun around the sphere.

Boom! Several streaks of spiritual power burst out from the sphere with a loud bang. Black smoke instantly filled the air. Once all of the smoke cleared away, Rocky's eyes were greeted with dozens of cracks and crevices on the ground caused by the strike.

"Wow! The Nebula Rolling Strike is absolutely amazing! I just exerted ten percent of my strength, but its strike was still very powerful! If I had used my full power, it possibly would have bored a huge hole on the ground!" As Rocky shut off his dragon spiritual power, the Dragon Spirit Mark around his left arm also stopped glowing. He looked at the cracks on the ground and felt satisfied. The strike he summoned was called Nebula Rolling Strike, a spiritual martial arts attack from the Vast Nebula Skill. Even though he just reached the Earthly Stage, he had already mastered the Vast Nebula Skill at such a shocking speed.

The loud noises attracted the attention of the imperial guards who were on patrol nearby and rushed to the scene at once. They were extremely alarmed to see several cracks on the ground and Rocky in the middle of it.

"Your Royal Highness, what happened? Are you all right?" one of the guards asked, eyes wide in shock.

"Don't worry! I'm fine. I was just practicing a new skill I just learned. Everything's fine here," Rocky reassured them and gave them a smile. He was suddenly reminded that he was in the Imperial Palace. He would not be able to do whatever he wanted as he did before in the bamboo grove in the dragon field.

The guards then began chattering among themselves.

"When did Prince Basil become so good? I remember that he had been so talentless before."

"Yeah! I've heard that he was even able to defeat a great master who is at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage during the Dragon Birth Festival!"

"So has the prince been concealing his true ability all along? Lucky for us, we've never offended him. Otherwise, we would be regretting it now."

Overhearing the guards' conversation, Rocky loudly cleared his throat. "Is there anything else you need here?" he asked, shooting them a glare.

The guards immediately panicked. They all then left hurriedly and went back to their jobs.

Rocky glanced up at the sky and saw that the sun was starting to set. The autumn breeze brushed his cheeks and the sun's afterglow was scattered across his face. His eyes shone with fortitude and the childishness that was formerly seen in them was now gone.

"From now on, nobody will dare call Basil a worthless piece of shit ever again! They don't know that the real Basil has died and that the one living in this body is none other than me, Rocky Bai. Basil, I've gotten rid of all those humiliating titles. You are not a useless prince anymore. If you can hear me from the afterlife, I hope that you wouldn't have to suffer any humiliation in your next reincarnation, even if you aren't a prince anymore," Rocky murmured and let out a soft sigh.

He then suddenly heard a roar coming from beside him. He turned his head and saw Uriah.

"Oh, you're finally awake! Ha-ha! You little lazy boy! Do you know how long you've been sleeping?" Rocky exclaimed as he stroked Uriah's head. Uriah had not left Rocky's bed ever since it lay down on it.

Rocky then took Uriah back to his room as several servants brought them supper. It was already dark by the time they finished eating.

Just as Rocky started to wonder when Lena would come to meet him, a slender figure in a cloak walked into his room. The figure removed its hood and an angelic face appeared.

"I thought you'd never show up! What took you so long?" A bright smile appeared on Rocky's face as he saw the face. This mysterious visitor was none other than Lena who promised to go with Rocky to the lantern show that evening.

"Do you know how tough it was for me to sneak in here? Do you know how many people are around keeping a close eye on me every day?" Lena grumbled, glaring at Rocky.

"Oh yeah, my bad. You are the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire after all. Fortunately for me, I don't have to go through such a trouble. Ha-ha!" Rocky mockingly said.

Lena rolled her eyes at Rocky. She then threw a cloak at him and told him to put it on.

"Ooh, it's like we're going to elope, isn't it?" Rocky finished putting on the cloak and grinned at Lena.

"Why do you always talk like that now? You're so different from before." Lena had been getting the feeling that something was strange with Basil ever since he lost his memories. She could not see the Basil she knew in this man in front of her. He was like a completely different person.

"The Basil in the past was an idiot, but this current Basil is a genius," Rocky said and gave his eyebrows a wiggle.

"My goodness! Listen to yourself! Don't you know how arrogant and egotistical you sound? You reached the Earthly Stage in just two months and now you think you're so powerful?" Lena scolded Rocky. "Don't forget that I can defeat you anytime!" she proudly added.

"What, so you're going to fight me?" Rocky said as he stepped closer to Lena until there was only an inch between them.

"Tch! Cut it out! Let's just go already!" Lena turned towards the door to hide her blush and then walked out of the room.
