Bear and his partners quickly realized that Rocky seemed to have undergone a recent transformation. They were in shock. It had been just one month since they'd seen Rocky! How could this once-frail boy suddenly grow immensely strong and become so powerful and self-assured!?
"Say it again if you have the guts!" Bear growled scoldingly, burning with rage at Rocky's words and attitude. He immediately recalled that one month ago, he had lost a bet to Rocky.
"You want to talk about guts? Who's the one that sent two fools to do his bidding because he was too afraid?" retorted Rocky with a sneering smile.
"How dare you …" Bear fumed with rage. He clenched his trembling fists, shooting daggers at Rocky with his eyes. But unsupervised fighting was prohibited by the explicit order of the dragon field. It would be unwise to hit Rocky here and now.
"Bear, this brat is so ignorant and arrogant. We must teach him a lesson!"
"I agree. He has no respect at all for Bear!"
"Bear can kill him with just a snap of a finger! How dare he provoke him?"
Several teenagers behind Bear began to fling words of flattery. None of them were the least bit sincere.
"Humph! He is not worth wasting my time on!" Bear pretended to be arrogant, but the truth was that he was quickly feeling inferior to Rocky and couldn't wait to kill his rival immediately.
"In front of me, you are so obedient and submissive. You are my sweet grandchild!" Rocky was fully aware that Bear didn't dare to strike the first blow, and decided to take the opportunity to humiliate him.
It seemed that Rocky's speech had reached the limits of Bear's tolerance. He lost his temper, breaking out into a furious rage with a murderous glint in his eyes. He signaled to his war beast, the Lion Eagle which was always on his side, to attack Rocky immediately. The Lion Eagle at once soared high into the air, making a sharp turn to attack Rocky from behind.
'Duel fighting with a royal spirit manipulator is prohibited by the explicit order of the dragon field. But a war beast is an exception! They are beasts who can fight anyone, anytime, and anywhere!' Bear thought to himself, smiling maliciously.
Bear's Lion Eagle, a three-star war beast, had two heads, four claws, and an immense wing. Its muscles were toned and hardy, giving it an advantage both in the air and on the ground. And to add to its power, its wing as hard as steel and its feathers as sharp as knives.
Rocky felt an unusual wind gusting from behind him. He instantly narrowed his eyes and did a backward somersault. Just before Rocky landed on the ground, the Lion Eagle's wing brushed against his right arm, zooming past him with a terrifying whoosh.
'My sweet grandchild, you turned out to play tricks!' Rocky thought, keeping his composure. He waved his left arm and a dragon spiritual power instantly burst forth towards the Lion Eagle.
