On the other hand, Geoffrey was a little surprised to see that Rocky accepted the challenge. But, it was what he wanted in the first place. The next thing that he needed to do was to annihilate Rocky without any mercy.
"Your Royal Highness, I have a suggestion. Since this competition is extremely crucial, how about we try to use our beast taming skills at the same time?" Rocky suddenly said.
"What? Our beast taming skill? Are you saying that we should do the competition with our spiritual beasts? Is that your suggestion?" Geoffrey was actually a little surprised at Rocky's proposal. If they brought their spiritual beasts to fight, then Rocky's chance of winning would definitely be smaller.
All other people around were also surprised to hear Rocky's suggestion. They all thought it was ridiculous of Rocky to have even thought of this idea. No one should put himself in an unfavorable position, especially when there was so much at stake. They believed that Rocky must have lost his mind. Although he had a spiritual beast of the King Level, it was still far inferior compared to Geoffrey's. It would be a totally different story if it was the spirit-manipulated beasts that fought alone. If that were the case, then Rocky's beast might be able to take on Geoffrey's by surprise. However, Rocky was suggesting to fight with the spiritual beasts, and it was completely insane. The Dark Ghost Shadow's strength was immeasurable. In addition, Geoffrey's driving skill couldn't be ignored either. It only meant that Rocky's own proposal had ended his chance to win.
Lucilla and Lucas were completely shocked and confused, too. They couldn't believe what they had heard.
"Yes, that is my suggestion. What do you think about it, Your Royal Highness? I don't think it will cause any trouble to Your Royal Highness, will it?" Rocky replied lightly, without hurry and haste.
The calmness of Rocky made Geoffrey more suspicious. He wondered what Rocky was plotting in his mind. However, he shrugged all of his thoughts off. After all, it was clearly obvious that his Dark Ghost Shadow was much stronger than Rocky's spiritual beast. Thus, no matter what Rocky was plotting, the result would remain the same. Rocky had no chance to win at all. Geoffrey was more than confident that he would win since the competition between spirit-manipulated beasts was always decided by their strength. And this time, their masters would go to fight with them. Geoffrey thought that he would ace this competition without even breaking a sweat.
"Well, as you wish then. If you lose, then I suppose you'll find no excuse to not accept the result." Geoffrey nodded with a taunting sneer. He wanted to sound like he was doing Rocky a favor, but he was well aware that he was the one who would have more advantage in the coming fight. He smirked as if he was sure that he was going to knock Rocky down soon, and then he turned away after casting Rocky another glance.
"Mr. Rookie, I don't understand. Tell me why did you make such a suggestion in the first place! Can't you see that it's not favorable to you at all? Do you have any other plan?" Woods immediately asked after Geoffrey left. It was obvious that he was worried. Even an outsider like him knew that the strength of a spirit-manipulated beast would only increase under the control of its spirit manipulator.
"Patience. You'll see later," Rocky replied with a serious look in his eyes.
Since Rocky and Geoffrey agreed to fight with their spiritual beasts, the rules of the final competition changed. The masters of the two spirit-manipulated beasts needed to enter the field themselves as they were going to fight side-by-side with their beasts.
Just as Rocky was preparing for the competition, Lucilla stopped by his side. "Mr. Rookie, I know for a fact that Prince Geoffrey will not show you any mercy. What's more worrisome is that he may take this chance to hurt you. So please do take care and look out for yourself out there," she whispered softly.
"Please don't worry about me. I really know what I'm doing!" Rocky gave her a comforting look and then cast another glance at Woods.
"It's all yours," Woods said with a slight nod. He had a great expectation towards Rocky and he knew that the person he could only depend on right now was Rocky.
