Rocky nodded evasively. In fact, he had planned to train Robin at that time to improve its fighting capacity. Therefore, Robin would definitely get excellent training if it participated in the beast arena.
"What? Let Rainbow Glow Unicorn compete? What is its current strength? The spirit-manipulated beasts participating in the finals will be at least at the third grade of the three-star level," Woods uttered. Rocky had told him before that both Uriah and Rubygon died for saving him back when they were fighting with Alston. With this, Rainbow Glow Unicorn was the only spirit-manipulated beast that was left to stay with him. Therefore, Woods thought that Rocky might select it to take part in the upcoming competition.
"But, I'm not choosing Rainbow Glow Unicorn this time," Rocky answered as he shook his head.
"Then that would mean..." Woods' eyes grew bigger in surprise. At that moment, he could not help but wonder how many spirit-manipulated beasts Rocky was keeping.
Woods might be shocked, but this was not something new to him at all. In fact, he was aware that it was normal for someone like Rocky, who owned a spirit-manipulated beast of the King Level such as Rainbow Glow Unicorn, to have several other spirit-manipulated beasts. In addition, Woods had already witnessed Rocky control two spirit-manipulated beasts at the same time, so there was no reason to be surprised about Rocky's capabilities anymore.
"Woods, make an arrangement in the competition for me," Rocky instructed Woods.
After shooting Rocky a glance, Woods sent for an arena steward to make an arrangement as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, as soon as the fight at the beast arena was over, the man in charge appeared again.
"See the man there? Go with him." Immediately, Woods nodded at Rocky.
Rocky stood up and left with the person in charge. They went down a few steps through one passage and reached the bottom of the fighting beast field. An iron fence appeared in front of them, which led to the fighting field.
"Release the spirit-manipulated beast, please..." The steward politely ordered Rocky.
Without hesitation, Rocky nodded and then opened the Magic Spiritual Space to let Robin out.
In an instant, the iron fence in front of them and the one on the opposite side slowly opened simultaneously. Soon after, a spirit-manipulated beast at the third grade of the three-star level came out of the holding area.
"Hey, go ahead. Don't forget to have fun!" Rocky gleefully said as he signaled Robin to start.
As a response, Robin growled. Shortly, it passed through the iron fence and set its foot on the arena.
Robin's presence immediately attracted all the people present on the battlefield. Perhaps the people were so drawn to Robin because it had a powerful stature, and was able to do something that not every spirit-manipulated beast could do—walk with its hind legs, just like a human being.
But because Robin's strength was only at the third-grade of the three-star level, it was not at all outstanding to the entire audience.
Meanwhile, after Robin and its opponent appeared on the stage at the right side of the arena, an odds card was put up reading 1 to 3. In other words, if Robin won the game, then it would get three times the odds. However, since it was Robin's first time to be sent out to the battle ring, the audience's eyes remained focused on watching its opponent rather than looking at Robin. After all, they were more familiar with the opponent since they had already seen it countless times.
On the other hand, Rocky had just returned to Woods.
"Since when do you have this spirit-manipulated beast?" Curious as to how Rocky had obtained Robin, Woods could not help but ask. Although he wasn't an expert regarding spirit-manipulated beast, he had sensed something strange about Robin as soon as he saw it.
"I guess, for quite a while now," replied Rocky.
"So, is it a spiritual beast?" Woods asked once more.
"Well, not really." Rocky shook his head in denial. But as a matter of fact, Robin was more powerful than the usual spiritual beasts.
