"Master, are you serious? Is he really that talented?" Queenie felt discouraged as she heard Lucas' generous praise. She had always been Lucas' favorite, and now she felt really worthless and inferior. People regarded her as a rare genius at evaluating beasts. But now, her master praised Rocky highly. He never used that praise with anyone else before and it seemed like Lucas was really impressed by Rocky's ability. However, it was her turn to see Rocky in a new light after she saw him perform the Radiance Evaluation Skill and the Stroking Evaluation Skill successively.
Rocky's amazing performance also caught the attention of Alyssa, who was seated at the judge's platform. She stared at him with curiosity and felt that he looked familiar.
Rocky had everyone's attention, including all the other princes in attendance. They were all curious about his identity, most especially Geoffrey, who wanted to recruit such a low-key but outstanding talent like Rocky.
Geoffrey gestured to the servant behind him. Immediately, the servant approached and bowed before Geoffrey. He then whispered something to the servant, and without a word, the servant turned around and left.
"Alyssa, the man is amazing," said Woods, who already knew the identity of Rocky. He noticed that his sister had her eyes on Rocky the moment he went up onto the stage. He watched his sister's actions and looked for clues if she still held a grudge against Rocky. He could not overlook the fact that Rocky destroyed her plan to fight against the Holy Dragon Empire. Although she freed Rocky twice, there was no guarantee that she would not try to kill Rocky once she recognized him. After all, Rocky was Timber Deity Empire's number one enemy.
He had to be cautious, and he needed to know what his sister was up to. He did not want to kill Rocky. He owed Rocky his life and in return he wanted to protect him. On top of everything, Rocky had a secret p
. The prince used the Magical Evaluation Skill, which was never passed down to other clans for the last three hundred years. After he was defeated by Basil, he realized that if he wanted to become stronger, he must also learn skills of other clans. It was why he ignored his master's instructions and learned the Stroking Evaluation Skill secretly. He wanted to strengthen himself.
If he didn't know that Basil was dead, Carter could easily assume that the mysterious beast evaluator in front of him was actually Basil. "It's unthinkable. But who was this guy?"
None of it made sense, but Carter was sure of one thing. No ordinary person could learn the Radiance Evaluation Skill and the Stroking Evaluation Skill. And the beast evaluator in front of him was someone important. This frustrated him further. He needed to gain grounds if he wanted to defeat his opponent and he had to take him seriously this time. He felt that he had miscalculated his strength after he fought with him twice in this competition. He promised himself not to make the same mistake in the next round.
"Let's wait and see. I will show you what the true Beast Evaluation Skill is!" said Carter as he stared at Rocky fiercely. A strong aura suddenly emanated from his body and surrounded him from all sides.
