"Well, I will spend only two days finishing it. I can't be beaten by her even if I die..." Queenie, clenching her teeth, gave a glare at Rocky and then fetched the body of the spirit-manipulated beast. She started her training again.
Witnessing her take the bait so easily, Rocky couldn't help but shake his head and smile before leaving Queenie behind.
His experiments on refining the spiritual crystals and the larvae were already on the right track. It would take some time to verify the results. So in the meantime, Rocky planned on how to train Robin effectively to strengthen it in combat.
The transformation happened not too long ago. Although Robin had adapted to its body, it still had little to no actual combat experience which was crucial in the early development of all spirit-manipulated beasts. It was very important because many spirit-manipulated beasts evolved during combat.
However, Robin couldn't improve its skills in such a short amount of time by just ordinary means. Rocky needed to remain in the Cao Clan for the meantime and couldn't go too far away. Thus, he needed to figure out how to train Robin as best as he could by working with what he had.
Rocky planned on using the Cao Clan's resources.
Suddenly, a disciple of the Cao Clan appeared in front of him, cupped his hands together and said, "Mr. Rookie, here you are. The sixth prince wanted to see you immediately!"
"Okay." Rocky nodded and followed the disciple.
Before long, Rocky saw Woods in the hall and, of course, Lucilla.
When Lucilla saw Rocky enter, she immediately felt slightly awkward. She reminisced on the shameful day when she seduced him and kissed him fiercely. On top of that, she was drunk at that time, so her ghastly appearance was seen by Rocky, which made her dare not look at Rocky these days.
"Chief..." Rocky addressed Lucilla. They looked at each other and then greeted each other with cupped hands. It was as if nothing had happened.
Lucilla tried to keep calm and nodded.
"Your Royal Highness, what can I do for you?" Rocky then turned his gaze to Woods. He knew why Woods was here, but he still needed to put on an act to avoid Lucilla from doubting their relationship.
"I want to ask you something about curing beasts." Woods nodded and turned to Lucilla, "Chief, can I borrow Mr. Rookie from you for a while?"
"Of course! But are you free, Mr. Rookie?" Although Lucilla would've allowed it either way, it was still up to Rocky. After all, he wasn't from the Cao Clan.
"I'm free now," Rocky answered, pretending to ponder over his decision.
"Alright." After, Woods stood up before giving Lucilla a look that hinted at something. Then he left with Rocky.
Upon leaving the Magnificent Hall, they exchanged a knowing smile.
"You should know that getting me crowned as the emperor is no easy feat." the look in Rocky's eyes became cold when he heard this.
"Yes, you're right. If you want to become the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire, you must defeat Alston. Since he is an established successor to the Holy Dragon Empire, it's not easy for you to replace him. Besides, he'll never let you. He once even betrayed his Crimson Dragon Group to kill you. There's nothing in the world he can't do, so going up against him will be quite a challenge!" Although Woods only met Alston once, he could immediately tell that Alston was dishonest and despicable.
"So once I return to the Holy Dragon Empire, I'm afraid I'll have quite a difficult battle to fight," Rocky responded with sharp eyes.
"I'm afraid Alston doesn't think you're still alive. I'd be interested in seeing the look on his face once he sees you…" Woods uttered with a playful smile.
"Now that you're here, I'll tell you my plan," Rocky said.
"Before that, I'd like us to visit somewhere first." They had already walked out of the gate of the Cao Clan when Woods pointed to the carriage outside.
"Where are we going?" asked Rocky.
"Today, several princes will attend the royal family's beast fighting game. I want you to know them first and advise me on which brother I'm going to deal with first; besides Geoffrey, my greatest opponent, of course. I'll fight him until the last minute," Woods answered.
"Don't you have your sister? Are you still afraid of Geoffrey?" Rocky asked, puzzled. If Woods had Alyssa's support, then the other princes, including Geoffrey, should pose no threat to him.
