Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 218 Playing The Game

However, Hob had also climbed up the cliff during the chaos. Rocky had never expected that to happen there. Rocky was ahead of Hob for a moment and recognized Hob immediately. Then, Rocky hid himself at once. He planned to launch a sneak attack behind when Hob was about to get the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds.

Hob was quick to react and faced Rocky's surprised attack, leaving Rocky with a failed attempt. "Fuck! You again? You've spoiled my plan last time and since then, I have been looking for you. Great! Let me teach you a good lesson now, asshole!” Hob's eyes reddened and widened in anger as he recognized Rocky. After what happened between him and Rocky, he swore he would avenge himself and tear Rocky apart!

Rocky shot a cold glare at Hob, and then he headed straight for the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds. Obviously, he had ignored Hob's presence and sentiments.

Rocky had succeeded in stirring the anger inside Hob's chest. The fury had burned his rationality into ashes. He would never let Rocky take away the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds in front of him. Besides, Hob was quite confident about himself because he just reached the second grade of the Earthly Stage. He thought of being neck to neck with Rocky at this point in time.

Calculating with full certainty on his part, however, Hob didn't know that Rocky had reached the third grade of the Earthly Stage.

"Asshole! You are going to die!" Hob broke out finally. He clenched his fist and charged towards Rocky. He had channeled all of his strength into his fist and showed no mercy to Rocky.

Hob's attack was under Rocky's expectation and Rocky had already prepared himself for this moment. When Hob's fist was only an inch away from his face, he brandished the Frozen Wind Dagger in his hand and threw a blade-shaped force of spiritual power at Hob.

With a loud bang, the blade-shaped force collided with Hobs fist, giving out speeding light.

Hob's fist trembled fiercely under the forceful collision and he took a step back for he failed to withstand the power. He could tell that the strike from Rocky was far stronger than his. However, he thought the reason why he couldn't take Rocky's attack was merely because he wasn't fully prepared then. To his knowledge, he could not believe someone could reach the third stage from the second grade of the Earthly Stage in such a short period of time. Truth to be told, Hob had to admit that Rocky was a worthy opponent.

Moments after, Hob charged towards Rocky again. He had made up his mind this time. The moment he fully activated his strength at the second grade of the Earthly Stage, spiritual light was radiating around him, carrying a formidable air.

"Rock! Spilt!" Hob roared as he smashed his fist onto the ground. Immediately, a crack crept on the ground which made sand and stones fly in all directions. The spiritual power at the second grade of the Earthly Stage was rushing to Rocky.

Rocky, however, smiled airily and faced the forceful attack. "Flashing!" he breezily uttered the word. Then, a starry light glinted around him, and in a split second, he disappeared into thin air.

Hob froze for a while. Everything happened too fast for him to withdraw his attack. And with a loud bang, his powerful fist only hit the trees behind Rocky. Simultaneously, a figure with dashing light around flickered in front of him.

"Useless trick!" Hob sneered as a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He immediately threw a palm attack at the glinting figure, with the strength at the second grade of the Earthly Stage. The palm attack, however, didn't hit against the figure but went through him directly.

Hob froze again and the figure disappeared in a matter of seconds. Then Rocky appeared from where he stood previously. Now, he had activated his power at the third grade of the Earthly Stage. "Nebula Cloud Transformation!" With a slight wave of his hands, a ball of starry light appeared with winds howling around him. He then pushed his hands forward with the surging power aimed at Hob.

"How's that even possible!" Hob was in shock. He could not believe that Rocky had already reached the third grade of the Earthly Stage. It was only two to three months ago since he saw Rocky last time.

Hob was caught off guard because everything was happening beyond his expectation. As the Nebula Cloud Transformation hit him, he was thrown into the air. He fell from the cliff and smashed onto the ground. With such a rapid fall, Hob would die or get badly injured.

Rocky had a mocking smile on the corner of his lips as he saw Hob's demise. He then jumped in front of the Heaven Divine Lotus and saw that the three glinting Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds were full of spiritual energy. Immediately, he reached out and put the seeds into his pocket.

After the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds were taken away, the Heaven Divine Lotus gave out dazzling light and wormed its way down into ground.

Simultaneously, the disappearance of the Heaven Divine Lotus attracted all the other spirit manipulators’ attention, who were working hard against the wild spirit-manipulated beasts. They immediately realized that someone had taken away the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds. As they were stunned to see Rocky run away from the cliff, they were infuriated to the core. They wanted to chase after Rocky immediately but numerous wild spirit-manipulated beasts got in their way right now. Rocky already disappeared when they were still fighting hard against those beasts.

When the squad leaders of the Crimson Dragon Group witnessed Rocky's presence, they were also shocked.

"Tell the second squad to keep on guard outside and that they should secretly follow him! That's our chance to have the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds to attract the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. We can't let him take the seeds out of the Spiritual Fairyland!” One of the leaders ordered his teammate to inform the second squad of the Crimson Dragon Group who had been lurking outside. After getting the order, the teammate broke out of the circle of beasts and rushed outside.

After Rocky's disappearance, several figures appeared around the cliff and they were also at the Earthly Stage. They followed Rocky as soon as they saw him take away the seeds.

Running away from the cliff, Rocky soon noticed that there were more than a single spirit manipulator chasing after him.

"Wow! I didn't see that coming! I was the hunter before. But now, I become the hunted prey!" Rocky knew that he had become everyone's target. Obviously, some spirit manipulators were waiting someone to get the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds and had planned on robbing of the seeds. Such plan would save their time and effort to get the seeds from the Heaven Divine Lotus itself.

In other words, Rocky, who took the seeds from the Heaven Divine Lotus, might not be the final winner. Though obtained, the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds could not be refined immediately by anyone and this gave each spirit manipulator the opportunity to take away the seeds from Rocky. What Rocky needed to do now was to leave the Spiritual Fairyland and then to refine the seeds in a covert place.

It was a critical period for Rocky to rush and leave the Spiritual Fairyland because now was the perfect time for others to rob him of the seeds. The real competition started right now.

After a while, Rocky saw more than five spirit manipulators following behind him and they were all at the Earthly Stage.

"That explains why! There are only one or two Earthly Stage spirit manipulators in those squads. The other Earthly Stage spirit manipulators have been waiting for someone else to take the Heaven Divine Lotus Seeds, and take away the seeds from the one! That's me, then!" Rocky whispered to himself.

He believed that those Earthly Stage spirit manipulators would take action soon. They would try their best to stop him and take the seeds away from him. It would not be a problem for Rocky if he were facing only a single Earthly Stage spirit manipulator, but now there were more than five of them behind him!

Rocky was put into another dilemma. No matter how those Earthly Stage spirit manipulators worked together or fought against him, Rocky would be the biggest loser in the end. He had to turn the tables.

Meanwhile, several figures ran towards Rocky from all directions, circling around him. He would meet a worthy opponent no matter which direction he headed for.

"Well! Let me play some games with you guys!" Rocky stopped suddenly as an evil smile crept over the corner of his lips.
