Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 467 Collision Training

During the past two days that he had been training hard, Rocky started to feel something strange that went on with his body. Despite his training, his body acted odd—it seemed not to adapt to the strength that it had gained over the workout. As of now, the evil spiritual power in his body had already reached the third grade of the Heavenly Stage. Nevertheless, it was quite strange that he still stayed in the first grade of the Heavenly Stage. During his training, there had been a mismatch between his evil spiritual power and the one that he had, hence, his body was not able to adjust well. In order to take control of the energetic spiritual power, he should start practicing his skill to the third level of the Demonic Fire Skill. Should everything go well, then he would be able to practice both the evil spiritual power and the Fire spiritual power at the same time, all within his body as a circulation.

Having too much more than his current strength, the excessive power in Rocky's body caused him so much pain. Sore and aching, his body meridians went through excruciating pain every time when he finished a circulation with the two kinds of spiritual powers that he had. As for spirit manipulators, every time they upgraded to a new level of strength, the meridians of their entire body would expand. On the other hand, Rocky's body had significantly improved and its strength surpassed that of most people with the help of the magical saliva for his cultivation. However, when compared that with some other spirit manipulator's body at the Heavenly Stage, his body's meridians were still considered to be much stronger than theirs. In conclusion, he should not really be experiencing so much pain and agony with his new found strength.

But now, his current spiritual powers had two kinds of natures. On top of that, the Fire spiritual power kept absorbing the middle and high level Dark Heaven Eggs during its cultivation lately, which was already considered to be of significant improvement. In other words, the two different spiritual powers inside his body had forced his meridians to suffer twice as much of the intensity of one spiritual power.

With that being said, his body's meridians had reached a limit, which was way too much for his threshold. If he did not improve his grade as soon as possible, then he would not be able to achieve the normal cultivation in the shortest time. And if he tried to keep doing the cultivation, his body might get overworked and might even collapse at any moment. Anyone who would experience that would be in so much danger.

Right under his current situation, Rocky had no choice but to go with the most sensible thing to do —to find a way on how to make a breakthrough so that he could reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage.

Meanwhile, as Rocky recalled the fight that he just had with Furious Long-nosed Bear two days ago, something randomly popped in his mind. Right towards the end of their fight, he remembered feeling something changed in his body, right after he encountered a strong impact from Furious Long-nosed Bear. Having not felt anything like it before, it seemed as if he had enough strength to fight. However, the tricky part in the situation was that though he knew that he had enough strength, his body was weak and would not allow such a thing. And because of that, he had not been able to raise his spiritual power to fight against his opponent the best way he could.

'So, if 1 imagine this correctly, I need to train my body to become stronger so that I can make a breakthrough and reach the higher grade. Because as for me, the stronger the spiritual power the better for it would be such a waste if I don't have a strong enough body to release the power, * Rocky thought to himself. By how it looked, it seemed that he had already found a clue on how to solve his own problem. As Marin had once mentioned, after a warrior reached the Heavenly Stage, a very strong impact would happen to his or her body every single time they made a breakthrough. Hence, it should be expected that something horrible might happen if there was not enough preparation made to the person's body.

Considering such things, Rocky thought that if he ever wanted to make a breakthrough to achieve his goals, then he would have to train his body harder than what he was used to.

With this, it made complete sense that he had not been able to break through the bottleneck, all because his body was not yet ready. In fact, the power of the Holy Dragon Bead in his body was much stronger than the power of the Dragon Spirit Bead. And as a result, his body needed to be stronger in order for him to make a breakthrough.

Suddenly, Rocky's eyes lit up as if he had already figured out the root of his problem. Now that he knew what to do, he immediately chose to spend another whole day in the cave just to heal the injuries that he had sustained. Feeling better with his right shoulder, he left the cave with Rainbow Glow Unicorn, and started their journey heading to the dangerous path of the Myriad Beasts Ground

Knowing that there might be a high chance of danger in the journey, Rocky opted not to take Uriah or Rubygon with him. And besides, he thought that there would be several more days for the two of them to heal their injuries and recover, which was why he asked Rainbow Glow Unicorn and not either of the two. In addition to that, he thought that Rainbow Glow Unicorn would be able to help him escape from the impending danger. With its power, he could hide himself and save his life by using the skill of animalization.

Although he already had a backup plan in case something came up, Rocky still dared not to be careless. During the entire journey, he did nothing but moved forward quite cautiously. After about an hour, in the tall weeds, he found a Pillar-horned Rhinoceros that was sleeping. Being at the third grade of the four-star level, it looked like it was a mixture of a lizard and a rhinoceros due to its body being long and flat. By looking at its outside appearance, Rocky could tell that it was very strong. The Pillar-horned Rhinoceros had a pillar on the top of its head, which was as thick as an adult's arm. The markings on its body were like stars, all over its body.

Rocky's face also grew solemn at the sight of such a wonderful animal in front of him. All of a sudden, he took his upper clothes off. With only his pants on, his sturdy and muscular body seemed to be beaming with strength. Meanwhile, after giving a signal to the Rainbow Glow Unicorn to stay behind, he then raised his spiritual power and threw himself towards the Rhinoceros. Turning into a shadow, he dashed at the animal at full speed.

Feeling a sense of a strong spiritual power, the once sleeping Rhinoceros suddenly woke up. As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw someone throwing himself at it at such a high speed. Its sharp eyes then widened. Standing up with much vigor, it showed no sign of weakness as it was ready to fight for its life at the sight of an intruder.

Boom!

Rocky and the Rhinoceros crashed into each other toe-to-toe. Unarmed, Rocky held the pillar, the one on top of the rhinoceros's head, as tightly as he could. Right at that moment, the two of them looked like they were gladiators who were trying their best to win the bout.

However, the Rhinoceros had its head up which enabled it to push Rocky back in a split second. Rocky slipped back several steps all at once as he tried to regain his balance.

"Wow! I can't believe that this Rhinoceros is indeed a formidable opponent with such amazing strength. Well, I guess that I can make the most out of this one. It can just help me with training my body." Rocky said calmly, as he was unbothered by the strange eye contact he had with the Rhinoceros. Smiling, he secretly thought that having an odd opponent at that moment was a fun idea.

Based on his conclusion before starting the journey, Rocky was pretty sure that he had to train himself and upgrade to another higher grade in order to make a breakthrough in his power. As a result, he would need to do a very systematic training to provide his body the necessary exercise. That was why he felt excited at the sight of the Rhinoceros. With its strong four legs and its amazing strength, Rocky would be able to take use of it to train his body completely.

Just after regaining his balance, Rocky charged forward once again without any hesitation. On the other side, the Rhinoceros's desire to fight seemed to fully arouse at this moment. Realizing what Rocky was doing, the Rhinoceros rushed toward him with its huge body, ready to attack.

Boom! With a loud rumble, the man and the beast had another tough collision. Simultaneously, a huge airwave blew around the area due to the sheer force of the collision. The force of the impact upon collision was a lot stronger than the last time, resulting in the trembling of Rocky's arms. With his muscles almost vibrating, it was clear that he was experiencing some very strong force as of the moment.

Yelling loudly into the air, his spiritual power rose immediately. His whole body then burst with the power and pressure, which then he used to fight against the Rhinoceros. Foreseeing that its opponent had good resistance, the Rhinoceros was about to jerk with its head up, aiming to send Rocky flying out of the battlefield. But, instead of slipping back just like what he had done last time, he stood firmly on the spot this time around.

After a while, the two seemed not to make any progress with their fight. Retreating for a few steps, they collided again and started another round.

Over and over again, they continued with this process—collide, wrestle, retreat, collide, wrestle...Continuing for almost six hours, Rocky had finally come into a halt as his body and his spiritual power became exhausted.

Meanwhile, the Rhinoceros was no better shape than Rocky. Although there was no injury found on its body, it was out of breath, as if it had used up most of its strength and was ready to collapse at any given moment. It glanced at Rocky helplessly as if it was looking at someone really crazy in front of it. Then, it turned and slowly walked away, as if it would never hurt Rocky again.

As the Rhinoceros was out of sight, Rocky sat down on the ground with a heavy thud. Tired, he felt that the muscles of his arms were heavy and difficult to lift, as if a thousand pounds of something were hanging on them. Also, he felt that his feet were sore and numb.

Rocky then put on his clothes right after he was done taking a short rest and left the place with Rainbow Glow Unicorn. After a short while, they found a tree hole nearby which they thought was safe. He then asked Rainbow Glow Unicorn to stand sentry outside, while he himself walked alone into the tree hole. He then drank two drops of the magical saliva and started his cultivation in the hopes of recovering his spiritual power.
