Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 313 The Beast Possession

"Ha-ha, Lad, you proved yourself enough. From now on, the beast farm of the northeast military camp is under your care. I'm very impressed of how fast you learn things. With your skills, you're more than capable to manage beast farm of a small military camp. Marin told me that you even saved many spirit-manipulated beasts from the battlefield. You started to get the hang of it. I have a reason to believe that you will find you're true calling sooner or later. You did a great job so far!" Sheridan said with a satisfied expression. He was apparently pleased about the outcome of his arrangements.

"Bullshit," Rocky grumbled with eyes darted toward Sheridan. A rush of helplessness ran through him.

"Actually, 1 did it to test you. Otherwise, how could I teach all the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to you?" Sheridan explained.

"Tell me, what on earth is the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill?" Rocky couldn't help but to ask in curiosity.

This caught Sheridan's interest. He sneered and said, "The Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill is somewhat similar to the Spirit Possession, but is more advanced and ingenious. To learn the basics of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, one should master the Spirit Possession first then reach the Beast Possession."

"What are the differences between the Spirit Possession and the Beast Possession?" Rocky questioned in detail. He knew that something set the two apart but he couldn't put his finger on it. "The Beast Possession is superior to the Spirit Possession. You use the latter to fuse the power of the spirit-manipulated beasts. While the Beast Possession can have power without the need to fuse with the spirit-manipulated beast or take any other measures. With the spiritual power, you and the spirit-manipulated beast can communicate without talking. Which makes you and the latter as one.” Sheridan explained to Rocky in one breath.

"It sounds very easy. Do you think you and your spirit-manipulated beast are able to do that now? However, one can only understand the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill with practice. Besides, the most striking part of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill was the fact that you can use the spirit-manipulated beast directly without making a fuss. Just like this..." Using his spiritual power, Sheridan stretched his arms and gave them a light shake. Suddenly, a gap burst out on his left side and a sickle-like arm appeared from inside the gap. It's a half meter long and roughly the width of a human palm.

Then Rocky saw Sheridan pulled the sickle-like long arm. Right-after, with the hook blade flashing, a sickle-like long arm loomed ahead. However, this sickle-like long arm, rather than the one in the gap, was formed by one of Sheridan's arm.

As a result, Sheridan's arm was exactly like the one in the gap. In other words, they had been combined as an integrity. The scene was really breathtaking.

"This..." Rocky was breathless, and his face filled with amazement and confusion.

"What you just witnessed is the unique feature of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. It enables the spirit manipulator to combine their body parts with the spirit-manipulated beast as an integrity. More than that, the spirit manipulator would also obtain the special ability of the spirit- manipulated beast. Let's use your spirit-manipulated beast with the special ability of Fire nature as an example. Once you grasp the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, you can easily use the ability of Fire nature without the help of the Spirit Possession. In addition, there is a system of tricks about taming and driving of the spiritual beasts. Whenever you get a chance to encounter them, the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill will come in handy,” Sheridan elaborately explained.

Though he seemed bragging, Rocky was hooked and had shown his interest in the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. His eyes glistened as he recalled one spiritual beast. He couldn't wait to acquire the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill and use it on Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

"It is the most powerful special skill among beast manipulation in the Wild Spirit Land. One of the greatest that people are willing to die for. Aside from me, my junior and Priest Dean of the Holy Dragon Empire knew very little of this. However, the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill is divided into nine levels. I've reached third level so far. Most people who practice it are at the same level as me because it's hard to make breakthroughs,” Sheridan sighed, suddenly ashamed of his level. "Why did you not tell me about such an advanced special skill before? Are you afraid that I will surpass you if I learn it and make breakthroughs constantly?” Rocky said playfully to comfort his old teacher Sheridan.

"I couldn't be happier if you could beat me! Why should I worry about it? I have nothing to be afraid of! You were too young back then to learn the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill. One of the qualifications is to have a strong capability for beast manipulation. And in order to achieve that is to have a good understanding of the spirit-manipulated beast. In which you should determine which power you want to have. Otherwise, all efforts will be in vain,” Sheridan explained as he laughed. He felt better knowing that Rocky's playful side was back to cheer him up.

"So what changed your mind? Why are you willing to teach me now?" Rocky asked with his arms across his chest.

"It's obvious. No one in Wild Spirit Land can simultaneously control two spirit-manipulated beasts but you. Even the skillful Bryant couldn't do that. I have no idea of how you managed to do so. The fact that you can do it is more than enough reason to train you. If the word gets out, many empires will compete over you. You are bound to do great things in the future. You may disappear someday and I hate to miss the chance of teaching you. To counter my worries, it's best that I teach you the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill now before it's too late!" Sheridan spoke his mind sincerely, though a little pretentious.

"It's surprising of how certain you are about my plans to disappear someday," Rocky smiled.

"It's reasonable for you to leave when you become stronger,” Sheridan said with deep significance. "Since you volunteered to teach me, I will learn it as you wish,” Rocky said in a reluctant expression. He smiled inwardly in an attempt to mask his excitement. He himself was extremely curious about this skill. He even projected the possibility of failing. He would lose nothing if this would fail. The Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill required time and dedication to achieve better results. "Ha-ha, you are really a bastard." Sheridan taunted. "I had a fine wine in my room. How about us teaching over it?"

"But I still have a competition this afternoon!" Rocky said, giving a hard look.

"Lad, you can go to the competition drunk and trust me when I said that no one could still match your skill. No one will dare. Ah, I almost forgot! You're a heavy drinker!" Sheridan burst out laughing. "Are you sure?" Rocky asked while lifting his eyebrows.

Then, they entered Sheridan's room with their arms around each other.

It's already afternoon, the third round of competition was about to start.

The third round assessed the leadership just like the Army Flag Contest. However, the competitors this round had to fight alone. Everyone walked on eggshells, anxious because one false move might lose the battle.

At the Army Flag Contest, the competitors led ordinary soldiers. While this time the competitors on both sides led spirit manipulators. Undoubtedly, the battles of the third round would be more intense and brilliant! Consequently, many people had been attracted and gathered around the training field
