Hearing this made Flint hesitate. He knew that Rocky was only at the second grade of the Mortal Stage. He was afraid that Rocky wouldn't be able to take his attack if he launched a third grade attack.
"Come on! No hesitation and hit me with it!" Rocky knew what Flint was worried about so he tried to motivate him into fulfilling his request.
Flint's brows knitted together. He then began channeling his dragon spiritual power to his palm. Obviously, this one was much stronger than the previous two. The icy aura was even more visible this time as the air around his palm began to freeze.
"Be careful!" Flint reminded him. He was still worried that his third grade attack possibly hurt Rocky. The moment he launched his attack, an icy aura flashed in the air with a strong and cold wind that could freeze whatever it touched.
The palm attack arrived in front of Rocky in only a matter of seconds.
Rocky had already prepared himself. He then activated all of his dragon spiritual power to withstand the palm attack. At the exact moment the two forces clashed, and a bright ray of dazzling light appeared. "Bang!" Rocky was pushed a few steps back by the forceful impact as he covered his aching chest.
Although his dragon spiritual power was able to absorb Flint's attack, he was also hit by the attack. Now, he was beginning to understand the limits of the absorbing capabilities of his dragon spiritual power. Whenever his opponent surpassed the spiritual energy he could produce, the absorbing capacity would have more trouble taking the attack. The bigger the gap between him and his opponent, the more forceful the impact could be.
Rocky was delighted to know that he was right about himself even though he was slightly injured by the experiment. Although he still didn't know what the quality of his dragon spiritual power was, he now learned more about its special ability.
"Are you alright?" Flint drew back his dragon spiritual power and walked towards Rocky as fast as he could.
"Yes! I'm fine! Don't worry about it. Thanks a lot, man! It was a huge help," Rocky smiled.
Flint nodded at Rocky. He was obviously stunned by Rocky. He could not understand how his spiritual power disappeared as soon as it touched Rocky's. He was wondering how Rocky was able to withstand his attack. But he didn't speak of it anymore. He was not that kind of man who had such interest in others. He just walked back to his Cloud Tiger and left with it.
Rocky had his dinner earlier than the others that night. He then took Uriah to the bamboo grove and walked to the pond as usual. He collected three drops of the magical saliva from Uriah's mouth and then took out the yellow spiritual crystal to feed Uriah. Uriah roared in excitement as it saw the yellow spiritual crystal.
"Hush! Easy there, little guy!" Rocky gestured for Uriah to keep quiet. He then looked at the yellow spiritual crystal while saying, "General Beauty said that a red spiritual crystal can help a one-star war beast upgrade to the next level. But Uriah had not even reached the one-star level yet. Would it be a waste to give it the crystal?"
