Chapter 122 An Encounter With A Beauty Again
At that precise moment, Evan suddenly walked towards Rocky. His footsteps were heavy and ominous.
Thor and Joss watched the scene unfold and both couldn't help but worry for Rocky. They thought, 'Oh,
no! Rocky is in so much trouble now. Evan must have been angry at what Rocky said, so he is going to
teach him a lesson. If Rocky is lucky enough, he may get out of this alive with minimal injuries.
However, if he is unlucky, he may end up seriously injured with broken arms and legs.' In the military
camp, it was common to see a senior officer punish a soldier with a lower title. It was not something
they could question or complain about.
Meanwhile, the spirit manipulators from the other squads around Rocky gathered closely and looked at
the scene wide-eyed. They stood there still with curiosity and anticipation, wondering what might
happen next.
"Hey, you brat! Today is your unlucky day!" Matthew said maliciously, flashing his teeth with a wicked
smile. He enjoyed the situation where Rocky was going to suffer.
"Are you a newcomer?" Evan stopped in front of Rocky, looked him up and down, and asked in a quite
arrogant manner. He was projecting his dominance by intimidating him.
However, unlike many who had cowered beneath his feet, Rocky did not pay attention to him. Rocky
remained silent and decided to walk away.
Evan was enraged and insulted by Rocky's indifference. He was a celebrity in this northeast military
camp and no one dared to ignore him. Rocky's actions completely stunned him. He didn't expect a
newcomer would ignore him so bluntly and so carelessly. He was humiliated and his reputation ruined
because of that insolent man. His face contorted. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes grew sharp. In Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
an instant, he reached out his hand to grab Rocky's shoulders. Although this movement seemed to be
very casual, he actually filled a hidden spiritual force in his movement. If a spirit manipulator at the low
grade of the Mortal Stage was grabbed by him on the shoulder, the least damage that could happen
was that his shoulder would be dislocated. The worst case was that he could be injured for ten days to
about half a month.
When the other spirit manipulators saw Evan's movement, they couldn't help but look at Rocky, who
didn't seem to notice that Evan was to grab him. They were sure that Rocky would have to suffer the
next second.
Thor and Joss were even more stunned when they saw Evan's hostile movement. Unfortunately, it was
already too late to alert Rocky of the impending danger.
However, what happened next astounded everyone watching the scene. When Evan was about an inch
away from Rocky's shoulder, Rocky swiftly steered his walking direction. He did it so nonchalantly as if
he anticipated it from the beginning. As a result, he avoided Evan's grasp in time.
Everything happened so quickly. Gasps could be heard from the audience as they found themselves
struck by amazement. Clearly, no one anticipated that Rocky would be able to dodge the attack.
Even Evan himself didn't think that he would miss grabbing Rocky. His eyes grew wide from
bewilderment. He was convinced that it was impossible for Rocky to detect his intention based on
Rocky's low cultivation base. Also, no matter how he comprehended the early situation, he always felt
that Rocky's turn was just a casual move. Yet, the situation didn't seem accidental which left him
puzzled. Was there really such a coincidence in the world?
Without waiting for them to react, Rocky had already gone far, leaving the remaining spirit manipulators
to their thoughts. They kept wondering how he could have avoided Evan's grab. In the end, they settled
with only one possibility: Evan showed Rocky mercy at the last moment.
Realizing that Rocky was all right, Thor and Joss immediately sighed with relief and hurriedly chased
after him.
"Captain, why didn't you teach him a lesson just now..." Matthew asked hesitantly. Evidently, like
others, he also held the same idea that Rocky was not hurt because Evan showed Rocky mercy.
"He is just a piece of garbage. It doesn't matter much to teach him a lesson. So I just let him go today."
Evan, who knew it was because he missed catching Rocky not because of his mercy, immediately
pretended to be generous, and deliberately raised his tone in an eager effort to save his face.
Other spirit manipulators listened to him and believed his every word. Otherwise, they really couldn't
think of other possibilities.
After Evan finished speaking, his attention fell on Rocky's receding figure. He felt that Rocky seemed a
bit odd.
"Rocky, that was so risky just now. If it is not for Evan's mercy this time, you're going to suffer a lot,"
Joss, who caught up with Rocky, said at once, his heart still fluttering with fear.
"Yeah, Joss is right. Next time when you see anyone from the first squad, you'd better avoid them from
far away," Thor said sincerely.
Rocky just threw a glance at the two people, and a cold sneer curled at the corner of his mouth. They
didn't know that he was able to avoid Evan's trick only by his own cultivation base. It wasn't out of
Evan's mercy, as many of them believed. He had already anticipated what would happen. The moment
Evan tried to grab him, he was already aware of his trick, and so he had enough time to dodge it. But
seemingly, he was simply lucky to avoid the grab.
As soon as the three of them reached the end of the training ground, they saw several other spirit
manipulators whose cultivation base was similar to that of Thor and Joss. They looked unenergetic as
they stood there lazily.
Rocky saw that the only odd one out was the yellow-haired man whose cultivation base was at the
fourth grade of the Mortal Stage. He walked up to them and snapped, "Are you a tortoise or what? Why
are you so slow?"
"Captain!" Thor and Joss said respectfully.
"So, you are the newcomer? I am the captain of the sixth squad, Zander Zhao. From now on, I am your
captain. You should do anything that I ask you to do. More importantly, you should never disobey any of
my orders. Otherwise I'll have to teach you a lesson," the man with yellow hair bellowed. He glared at
Rocky angrily. Obviously, he was trying to establish his authority.
But Rocky only spared Zander one glance before walking aside. He did not even bother responding to
his captain.
"You..." Zander was immediately irritated by Rocky's arrogance. He was about to yell at Rocky in order
to reprimand him from disrespecting him, but was immediately stopped by Thor and Joss.
"Captain, he is just a rookie and does not understand our rules. Don't worry! We will talk to him and
help you coach him," Thor said quickly. They were trying to prevent Rocky from causing another
commotion.
"He should be well coached, understand?" Zander screamed. He needed to assert his dominance and
authority over them. He swore loudly and went back to his position.
Since the sixth squad was not assigned to any missions today, the captain soon dismissed his
members after a short period.
As soon as they were dismissed, Thor and Joss immediately stopped Rocky and began to coach him
to obey the rules of the army. He had to avoid conflicts at all cost and he must respect those above his
rank. They rambled on the hundreds of rules he must follow and repeated it to him over and over again,
as if they were Rocky's mom. Although Rocky knew that they were nice by coaching him on the rules,
he still thought they were just too talkative and the rules were just too boring. At last, he found an
excuse to leave and returned to his room.
When Rocky walked into his room. Uriah, who felt bored while waiting inside the room, immediately
rushed to Rocky. It tackled him, stuck out its wet tongue and began to lick his face enthusiastically.
"Hey buddy. I guess you must be very hungry huh? You haven't eaten anything for a few days," Rocky
said. The spirit-manipulated beast was good at enduring hunger. It would be just fine even if it didn't eat
anything for ten days or even up to half a month. Still, despite its tolerance, it would feel hungry and
should be supplemented with nutrition from time to time.
Rocky took Uriah out of his room and went to the beast shed of the military camp, where he could get
some food for his Uriah.
The beast shed was at the end of the military camp. Rocky and Uriah arrived in front of the huge shed.
It was about two to three hundred meters long, spreading out from south to north of the area. It was
made of bamboo and thatch that looked rather simple, which was incomparable to the professional and
fancy beast sheds in the Super Beast Farm.
There were two rows of beast barns in the shed, which were divided by a walkway in the middle. After
a careful observation, Rocky realized that some of the barns were filled with various kinds of large and
small spirit-manipulated beasts, who would be no superior to a two-star war beast.
'It is actually a good place to practice the Magical Evaluation Skill, ' Rocky thought to himself.
He took Uriah into the beast shed and looked around. When he found no one in sight, he shouted
loudly, "Hello? Is anybody here?" No one answered or showed up.
Just to make sure, he shouted a few more times. Yet still, nobody answered him.
"Huh? It's so strange. Nobody is managing this beast shed?" Rocky murmured and frowned. It was
worrisome that no one was there to tend to the beasts. Was it intentional? He felt something was off at
the scene.
All of a sudden, Rocky heard the roaring sound of the dragon which immediately gathered his attention.
It was coming from the side of the beast shed. It piqued his curiosity and so he could not help but walk
to check out the situation. Soon, he saw an independent beast barn, which was much bigger and
higher than any of the other barns.
When he approached the independent barn, he saw the shadow of a dragon moving inside. Upon
closer inspection, the dragon shadow turned out to be a war dragon with two heads. Rocky estimated
that it was at least a three-star war beast. Its whole body was emerald, beautiful like the jade color, and
looked moist, as if someone was giving it a shower just before he arrived. Soon, it shook a little bit and
the water on its body began to splash.
"Hey, stop messing around, you naughty guy..." At that very moment, a burst of laughter crisp like a
silver bell rang out abruptly. He tried to look for the source of the sound.
'Someone is here, ' he thought. When Rocky looked at the dragon again, he was surprised to see a
figure standing in front of the emerald war dragon. He had no idea how he missed seeing the beautiful
young lady standing so elegantly just in front of him. Her thin clothes had gotten wet by the splash
which the dragon had just created a few moments ago. Thus, unintentionally, Rocky could see her
delicate and petite figure clearly. She was just so attractive for him. 'Alas, I am in luck. I encounter a
beauty once again, ' he thought happily.
