Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 860

Similar to the beast evaluation competition, the beast curing competition was to see who could best diagnose the injuries and illnesses of the spirit-manipulated beast and then administer proper treatment. The five judges would review the diagnoses and the treatment methods adopted by the competitors before coming to a conclusion about the winner.

This competition also had three rounds, so the clan which won two or more rounds would become the ultimate winner. To be claimed the champion, a clan would need to defeat all three beast curers from the other clan.

After the first beast curers of both the clans assumed their positions, two spirit-manipulated beasts, which looked rather weak, were brought out and placed on the table in front for them to make a diagnosis.

Wasting no time, Travis and the beast curer from the Qi Clan immediately began checking their respective beasts.

Amidst this tense atmosphere, the audience couldn't help but notice something strange. Although the beast curer from the Qi Clan had finished his diagnosis and started administering the corresponding treatment on his beast, Travis was still taking his time on his diagnosis. He looked rather laid-back as if he was on vacation and not at a competition.

"What the hell is our brother doing?" Mary asked with a perplexed expression on her face. She knew Travis's ability well; by right, he should have finished diagnosing the beast long ago. So why was he standing there doing nothing?

The members of the Cao Clan had also noticed Travis's abnormal behavior and exchanged confused glances with each other. It almost seemed like he was slacking off on purpose.

On the other side, Alexander, the chief of the Qi Clan, cracked a knowing smile in their waiting area.

"I bet the Cao Clan won't be able to figure out what's going on even if they rack their brains for an explanation. Who would have imagined that something like this would happen at such a critical moment?" he sneered.

"Those who do not have justice on their side will get little help. They should blame themselves for going against the will of the people," Tate added and cast a stern glance at the Cao Clan on the other side.

"The princess has promised us that she will announce our clan as the first clan of the Timber Deity Empire if we defeat the Cao Clan this time. It's a pity that the princess and the other princes aren't here to watch the competition in person due to His Majesty's sudden summon. If the princess was here, the Cao Clan would have to submit to us right here today! Anyway, there is no hope for them to win. We can wait, and after we're awarded, we're going to root out the Cao Clan. The time will come soon," Alexander sneered with a complacent look on his face, as if he had his hand around the neck of the Cao Clan.

In the waiting area of the Cao Clan, a look of realization appeared on Rocky's face as he watched Travis's careless behavior. After thinking for a while, he turned to Lucilla and said, "Chief Lucilla, I want you to do me a favor."

Reluctantly pulling her eyes away from Travis, Lucilla asked, "What is it?"

"Forgive my rudeness, but please send Juey instead of Miss Mary for the next round," Rocky said seriously with an expectant expression on his face.

Everyone who heard him turned to him in shock.

"What?" Juey shouted, echoing everyone's sentiments out loud.

"Mr. Rookie, may I ask why? Miss Juey isn't proficient at the Beast Curing Skill. Even if we lose the first round, there are still two more rounds to go. If Yang can wake up in time, we'll still have a chance to win," Lucas cut in before Lucilla could reply. He thought that Rocky wanted Juey to go up on the stage because he believed that the Cao Clan was entirely devoid of hope. Juey had become the chief of the Xiao Clan, and if she showed up there, it might be good for both herself and her clan.

"Mr. Rookie, I agree with Lucas. I'm sorry, but we won't give up until the last moment," Lucilla replied. She also knew that the Cao Clan had a very slim chance of winning now, but she did not want to give up so easily.

"But can't you see, Chief Lucilla? Travis has been bought off by the Qi Clan," Rocky said bluntly.

"What? How could it be?" Lucilla shouted, almost collapsing from her chair in shock, but the next moment, everything seemed to make sense to her.
