After a few moments, the result of the first round was announced right on the spot. However, the result was very unexpected. After the five judges discussed among themselves, they decided that the first round was a draw. This was because Carter and Rocky finished the evaluation at the same time, and the identification data of the beast attribute were just the same.
As soon as the result was announced, the entire hall became wild again. There had never been a result of a draw before in the history of the Beast Master Contest. However, that was not the most surprising part. What was really surprising was how the Cao Clan turned the tables just when they were almost certainly defeated because of Queenie's failure in the previous round. This twist to the competition was because of the appearance of a mysterious man—Rocky. A draw match showed that Rocky obviously had the strength and ability to compete against Carter.
By this moment, everyone was curious about who Rocky really was and why he was so powerful. However, not a single person in the hall knew his true identity.
All of a sudden, the spotlight shifted from Carter to Rocky. Everybody talked about the mysterious man among themselves in hushed voices.
The second round started as soon as the first round ended. At this moment, another spirit-manipulated beast was put in the huge cage on the round platform.
"It's just beginner's luck, boy. In this round, I'll make sure that you're out of dumb luck." Carter didn't expect that the result was going to be a draw. He felt ashamed of himself because he was not able to defeat a nobody. So he snorted at Rocky as a declaration of war against him. He was really driven to completely defeat him this time.
Surprisingly, Carter didn't use his Radiance Evaluation Skill. Instead, he walked straight to the cage and raised his palm. All of a sudden, his palm was wrapped by a strange colorful light. His palm then turned into some sort of a magic hand that was able to control the movement of the spirit-manipulated beast.
"What is he doing? Is he doing the Stroking Evaluation Skill? That Skill he is showing is a unique skill of our clan!" At this moment, a beast evaluator of a clan suddenly stood up and shouted in amazement.
As soon as he was finished with what he was saying, the audience burst into an ear-splitting uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded by what was happening.
The Stroking Evaluation Skill was also a very famous Beast Evaluation Skill in the Wild Spirit Land. Moreover, it was more abstruse than the Radiance Evaluation Skill. This me
ough they knew that the match was really authentic. The last two rounds were very breathtaking and exciting for the whole audience!
At this point, everyone in the Cao Clan resting area had a nervous expression on their faces. They didn't know how to react with what was happening at all.
Happy? Indeed, the Cao Clan was happy when they saw that Rocky cast the Stroking Evaluation Skill. This meant that he had a fighting chance against Carter. From the previous failure of Queenie's round, he had brought the Cao Clan back at the top. Surprised? Of course. If this turn of events could not be called a surprise, then nothing could be considered as a surprise in the world. On the other hand, the Cao Clan members were deeply shocked at the moment because of Rocky's real capacity. In this short period of time, he had given them a lot of exciting surprises which were beyond their expectation.
As chief of the Cao Clan, Lucilla couldn't sit still after Rocky showed his Stroking Evaluation Skill. She trembled ever so slightly and her face was painted with unspeakable excitement. Even Lucas, who was calm at first, couldn't help but clench his hands. He did not in any way expect that the man, Rocky, whom he saw many times before was so great in concealing his real abilities. In addition, among all the young men like Rocky, no one had ever been able to accomplish such a great achievement!
At the moment, Lucas, as one of the strongest beast evaluators in the Timber Deity Empire, was too surprised and impressed at Rocky. He exclaimed, "Mr. Rookie must have an incomparable talent for beast evaluation, otherwise at his age, he could never have been able to master the two powerful Beast Evaluation Skills."
