Chapter 982 Striking First

On the other hand, Geoffrey was a little surprised to see that Rocky accepted the challenge. But, it was what he wanted in the first place. The next thing that he needed to do was to annihilate Rocky without any mercy.

"Your Royal Highness, I have a suggestion. Since this competition is extremely crucial, how about we try to use our beast taming skills at the same time?" Rocky suddenly said.

"What? Our beast taming skill? Are you saying that we should do the competition with our spiritual beasts? Is that your suggestion?" Geoffrey was actually a little surprised at Rocky's proposal. If they brought their spiritual beasts to fight, then Rocky's chance of winning would definitely be smaller.

All other people around were also surprised to hear Rocky's suggestion. They all thought it was ridiculous of Rocky to have even thought of this idea. No one should put himself in an unfavorable position, especially when there was so much at stake. They believed that Rocky must have lost his mind. Although he had a spiritual beast of the King Level, it was still far inferior compared to Geoffrey's. It would be a totally different story if it was the spirit-manipulated beasts that fought alone. If that were the case, then Rocky's beast might be able to take on Geoffrey's by surprise. However, Rocky was suggesting to fight with the spiritual beasts, and it was completely insane. The Dark Ghost Shadow's strength was immeasurable. In addition, Geoffrey's driving skill couldn't be ignored either. It only meant that Rocky's own proposal had ended his chance to win.

Lucilla and Lucas were completely shocked and confused, too. They couldn't believe what they had heard.

"Yes, that is my suggestion. What do you think about it, Your Royal Highness? I don't think it will cause any trouble to Your Royal Highness, will it?" Rocky replied lightly, without hurry and haste.

The calmness of Rocky made Geoffrey more suspicious. He wondered what Rocky was plotting in his mind. However, he shrugged all of his thoughts off. After all, it was clearly obvious that his Dark Ghost Shadow was much stronger than Rocky's spiritual beast. Thus, no matter what Rocky was plotting, the result would remain the same. Rocky had no chance to win at all. Geoffrey was more than confident that he would win since the competition between spirit-manipulated beasts was always decided by their strength. And this time, their masters would go to fight with them. Geoffrey thought that he would ace this competition without e

travel a thousand miles with the help of the wind force. Besides, it could also control anything visible through its Wind skills. When contained by its Wind skills, any beast would lose its mobility. Thus, one could only imagine what would happen if a spirit-manipulated beast unfortunately confronted the Dark Ghost Shadow.

Right now, it was using its Wind skill to turn the entire arena into its domain. In other words, any opponent within its domain would lose their power to move.

The spectators tried to open their eyes despite the strong wind, to see what was happening inside the arena. They all broke into a cold sweat for Ken's sake. Since the Dark Ghost Shadow had shown such an impressive strength this early in the competition, how could Ken manage to survive it? It was totally impossible for Ken to win in this situation. The most important thing for it and its master was how to save some face and somehow at least survive in this battle.

"Prince Woods, what do you think Mr. Rookie will do? Do you think that he has another plan?" Lucas asked, unable to restrain the tension in his heart.

Meanwhile, the spectators around them heard Lucas's question and turned to Woods, too. They were anxious to hear his reply.

"Tell me. Have you ever seen him fail to meet our expectations before?" Woods asked instead of giving him an answer.

All the other people looked at each other, confused upon hearing Woods's words. They then turned their eyes at the beast arena again. They glued their eyes onto Rocky, afraid of missing any movement he made. They wondered what he and his spiritual beast would do to recover from the Dark Ghost Shadow's first blow.
