Chapter 408 Excellence

"In fact, my Blade Spirit Skill isn't the strongest spiritual power. The Sima Clan offers many kinds of skills that have been designed for people with different physiques. For example, there is one skill called Toxin Spirit Skill. Basically, if a man uses and gains mastery with that skill, his spiritual power will give out a kind of toxin, and his opponent will be poisoned as soon as the man tries to hit him," Dunn said, though his description sounded somewhat exaggerated.

"If that's the case, then why did you come to join the army of the Holy Dragon Empire instead of staying with the Sima Clan to continue your training?" Rocky asked out of curiosity.

"My father was once a Commander of the Holy Dragon Empire as well. Nonetheless, shortly after my birth, he died fighting on the battlefield. My mother was a former member of the Sima Clan. Thus, after my father's death, she went back to her clan. But when I turned sixteen years old, she died as well. When she was dying, she urged me repeatedly to serve the Holy Dragon Empire by being a Commander just like my father. Then I would fulfill my father's unfulfilled wish," Dunn sighed heavily. Everyone could tell this was an emotional topic for Dunn to discuss.

"I see," Rocky replied back, sighing too. Dunn's background and life experience surprised him. He hadn't expected such hardship from this man.

"How about we switch topics, Rocky? You're interested in the Blade Spirit Skill, aren't you? Let me teach it to you," Dunn offered.

"Honestly, Dunn, I don't think it's proper for you to disclose that to me," Rocky said, somewhat surprised.

"Don't think like that. You are my friend now. I'm willing to share whatever I have with you. Besides, the Blade Spirit Skill generally takes at least ten years to gain proficiency and fifteen years to control it effectively without strain; thus, it is usually taught during childhood. Few ordinary spirit manipulators can be so patient to practice it," Dunn explained. He didn't seem concerned about the risks of sharing it with Rocky.

"Okay then, thank you," Rocky replied and nodded.

Dunn then began explaining about the Blade Spirit Skill in detail.

While keeping the practicing method in mind, Rocky went on drinking the wine together with Dunn. He bid his farewell and left the tent. As soon as he walked out of the main camp, he released the four beasts from the Magic Spiritual Space. They then all went back together.

However, upon arriving at his place, Rocky's face darkened. He discovered th

n.

Very soon, a slim and graceful figure walked out of the Isis Pavilion. Rocky's eyes lit up when he saw that Sue had become even more beautiful and grown up since the last time they had met.

Sue was delighted to see Rocky. Immediately, she pulled him into the Isis Pavilion.

"Mr. Bai, I heard that you've just made new contributions to the front line. Is that true?" Sue asked, excitement shown all over her small face.

"Who told you that?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Everybody in the main camp knows about it. Even the middle-aged women who wash vegetables in the kitchen know the legendary hero called Rocky Bai among our Crimson Dragon Army," Sue answered, looking admiringly at Rocky.

"Really? Strange. I didn't know that I have become so famous," Rocky said with an indifferent smile.

"By the way, is Rubygon here with you?" Sue asked, blinking. She looked a little sad not seeing Rubygon.

"Yes, I brought it, but I'm afraid that you will be scared when you see it in its current state," Rocky replied smilingly.

However, his answer made Sue even more curious than afraid. She insisted on seeing Rubygon.

"Let's go outside first," Rocky warned. He didn't think it would be good to make Rubygon appear inside the Isis Pavilion, so he stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

Sue followed after him immediately.

After stopping in his tracks, Rocky unfolded one of his hands and shook it in the air. Immediately, a crack appeared in the invisible air.

As soon as she saw the crack, Sue asked in amazement and shock, "Is this the Magic Spiritual Space? Mr. Bai, you now possess the power of the Heavenly Stage? Oh my Heavens!"
