Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 31 Stronger

Marcia glanced at Rocky with a puzzled look as she returned the bottle to him. Rocky took the bottle

and checked its insides. He was then shocked to see that the bottle was empty. Obviously, Marcia

already drank the two drops of magical saliva. He yelled out of sadness, "Oh no! General Beauty, did

you use them all up? Do you have any idea how expensive they are? Frankly, a single drop should be

more than enough to make you feel better. You didn't have to consume both of them!"

"How was I supposed to know that? Don't be so stingy! Oh, you just reminded me. You still haven't

answered my question on where you got the miracle liquid," Marcia said as she glanced at Rocky.

"Sorry but that needs to remain a secret," Rocky answered.

"Do you have more of them? I am willing to exchange my yellow spiritual crystals for more of your

miracle liquid," Marcia said as she raised her eyebrows. It was obvious that she was very interested in

Rocky's miracle liquid.

"Those two drops were all I had and you drank all of them!" Rocky grumbled. The nubbin in Uriah's

mouth could only secrete about three drops a day. He had already collected all of them yesterday. The

only way to acquire more magical saliva was to wait another twenty four hours. But he was certain that

Marcia wouldn't wait that long.

"Fine," Marcia answered and changed the topic. "I am guessing that you are a new royal spirit

manipulator who just recently acquired the dragon spiritual power from a Dragon Spirit Bead. Would

that be right? If yes, then why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the dragon field to complete your

training?"

"It's a pretty long story and I don't want to bore you with it, ha-ha! But that doesn't really matter now.

What matters right now is that..." Rocky smirked.

"That what?" Marcia folded her arms in front of her chest as she squinted her eyes at Rocky and waited

for him to finish his sentence. Her cold glare sent a chill down Rocky's spine.

Rocky slightly trembled in fear and continued, "I have saved your life. I understand that you don't want

to give me any of your yellow spiritual crystals. But maybe you could offer me something else."

"You just called me General Beauty, which means you have full knowledge of who I am. So how dare

you request for such thing? I know what you men want and you can forget about it! I will never marry

you as a reward for saving my life," Marcia said threateningly. She knew very well that she owed Rocky

big time, but she was worried that he would ask for something ridiculous. So she decided to act that

way on purpose in an attempt to take the situation under her control.

"Nope! You got it all wrong. I just want you to be my teacher," Rocky said.

"What?" Marcia was caught by surprise. It wasn't anything like she initially expected from Rocky. She

thought he would ask for some of her precious treasures or request for a well-paid job as a high

position officer in the imperial government. As the general of the Holy Dragon Empire, it would have

been easier for her to offer him those anyway.

"So is that a no?" Rocky asked in a worried voice.

"Why do you want me to be your teacher?" Marcia asked as she looked at him with her pretty eyes.

"Because I want to be stronger! General Beauty, you are a legendary warrior! If I got the opportunity to

learn from you, I would definitely grow stronger and faster than everyone else," Rocky answered

seriously.

Marcia sneered at him and turned around to walk away.

"Hey! Are you just going to leave me hanging?" Rocky cried out anxiously.

"Well, do you have anything more to say?" Marcia stopped and turned back to look at Rocky.

"You haven't told me your answer. Will you be my teacher?" Rocky asked again.

"You're being ridiculous! If you really want to be stronger, you should put your heart into it and work

harder instead of trying to find a shortcut. Doesn't that sound better? The very reason you want me to

be you teacher is because you see it as a shortcut. So just forget about it, okay? You would never grow

stronger with that attitude," she sneered as she shook her head. "No matter how difficult the situation

may be, you must never give up! Stay tough and work everything out! That's the only effective way to

become stronger. Always keep that in mind," Marcia added. It seemed that she saw Rocky as an

opportunist.

"Of course! I already know all of that, General Beauty! How about this? I will no longer ask you to be

my teacher. But please tell me how to grow stronger in a short span of time, whatever it may cost,"

Rocky begged.

Marcia knew that she misunderstood Rocky after she heard him. She could tell he was eager to get

stronger as soon as possible. After giving it some thought, she asked, "Why exactly do you want to

grow stronger so bad?"

"Because I want to prove to everyone that I'm not worthless!" Rocky answered firmly. He was tired of

being the usual subject for scorn anymore. He could no longer stand being humiliated by other people,

especially Alston. Every time he thought of Alston, rage started to boil in his chest. He had sworn that

he would avenge himself one day.

"Worthless? Ha-ha! Worthless is not the word to describe someone who has the nerves like you do,"

Marcia remarked as she made fun of Rocky with a pun. Of course, she knew Rocky was not a useless

man at all. She was based on what happened before. It was him who distracted her enemy and even

let Uriah send her the miracle liquid to cure her injuries. If not because of Rocky, she would have been

dead.

After a while, Marcia looked at Rocky and continued, "But I don't take any students. You are a royal

spirit manipulator. The training you are getting is the best of the best and quite frankly, the most strict.

You don't need me to teach you anything else. And there is no shortcut! What you need to do is work

harder, harder than everyone else if you have to. Only then will you surpass them and become the

strongest of all."

"That means your answer is still a no," Rocky said with disappointment in his voice.

"You did me a huge favor and I appreciate that a lot, so I will give you a great reward." Marcia then

opened the Magic Spiritual Space and took out an ancient book.

"What is that?" Rocky asked as his eyes widened.

"It's one of the treasures in the box. It doesn't mean anything to me, but it should be of great help to

you if you want to be a beast evaluator. You should know that beast evaluators are very popular in the

Wild Spirit Land. A beast evaluator can tell the star rating and quality of a war beast. Remarks from a

beast evaluator are very valuable to others," Marcia said as she handed the book to Rocky. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Rocky took the book at once. He was not stupid to refuse such a great and helpful reward. The cover of

the book had the words "Beast Encyclopedia" on it. Rocky leafed through the book out of curiosity

which gave him a rough idea about its contents. It was written by a beast evaluator. Not only did he

write the basics of evaluating a war beast's star rating and quality, but also very detailed information on

war beasts, spiritual beasts, and dragons. The book covered most of the beasts in the Wild Spirit Land.

Every beast introduced in that book had a picture of its cub. And the information was classified. Rocky

had stars in his eyes as he kept reading the catalog.

The title of the book did fit the contents. It was like an encyclopedia on war beasts and spiritual beasts.

There was no doubt that the book was the greatest gift Rocky had ever received. He had been wanting

to study more about beast genetics. Now that he had this book, he no longer needed to collect

information for his research and this would save him plenty of time and troubles.

What's more, he could learn how to evaluate the star rating and quality of war beasts. Marcia was

absolutely right. Being a beast evaluator was a popular and well-paid job in the Wild Spirit Land.

"Oh, and give this yellow spiritual crystal to your little guy. Such a cute guy deserves a better gift. But it

might be too much for it to take, as it hasn't reached the star-one level yet after all." When Marcia saw

Rocky was well engrossed in the book, her attention was shifted to Uriah in Rocky's arms. Uriah fixed

its innocent eyes on her and groaned slightly. Upon seeing its adorable face, Marcia could not help but

take out a yellow spiritual crystal and offer it to Rocky. She then jumped up to ride her Celestial Snow-

white Dragon.

By the time Rocky closed the book, Marcia had already flown away.

"Oh come on! What's with all the hurry? I'm not going to eat you anyway," Rocky sighed. Soon enough,

excitement began to fill his eyes as he looked at the book in his hand. 'Ha-ha! Giving her the two drops

of magical saliva was totally worth it!'

Uriah, meanwhile, reached out and tried desperately to get the yellow spiritual crystal from Rocky's

hand.

"Calm down, little guy! It seems like General Beauty likes you the most. She refused to give me a piece

even when I begged her," Rocky said. He then kept the yellow spiritual crystal in his pocket. He was

planning on feeding Uriah the crystal when it was time for it to upgrade its star rating.

"Holy shit! Jerry must still be waiting for me!" Rocky cried out the moment he remembered Jerry. With

Uriah in his arms, he immediately rushed back to the Imperial City.
