Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 794 Much Needed Talent

Although Juey hadn't been to the Beast Master Contest before, she knew that the contest was one of the most renowned ceremonies in the whole Timber Deity Empire, even the emperor would take his time off to watch it. Thus, the contest held a huge influence over the empire.

The ones who had the strength and guts to participate in the Beast Master Contest were the elite Beast Masters from the major clans of the Timber Deity Empire. They were the disciples of the most famous Beast Masters in the whole empire. There was no doubt that they had tremendous skill in this aspect.

So naturally, Juey was utterly confused about why Lucas would recommend Rocky to take part in this prestigious, highly-skilled contest.

"Rookie, I think Miss Queenie is behind the idea why Master Lucas recommended you to take part in the Beast Master Contest. This is her way of taking revenge on you. If that's the case, you can't go to the Cao Clan’s residence. Otherwise, she won't let you go," Juey said worriedly.

"There must be another reason why Master Lucas recommended me," Rocky said. Although Rocky only met Lucas once, he could tell that he was a man of principles and morality. He would never endanger Rocky just to help Queenie take revenge on him. The reason why Lucas recommended Rocky was that he had seen through Rocky and known he was a powerful man. After all, Lucas was a master at the Divine Stage and a powerful beast evaluator of the Timber Deity Empire. He had the skills to know how powerful Rocky truly was. Moreover, Rocky had saved Queenie in the dense forest. Lucas was also able to speculate that from his experience.

Therefore, Rocky did not worry about Lucas’ intention, but Queenie should have known that Lucas recommended him. If Rocky went to the Cao Clan's residence, she would surely not let him go. Rocky couldn't help but smile at the thought of this.

"Rookie, what are you laughing at?" Juey asked in confusion.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about something interesting. Don’t worry about me. I'm not going there anyway. Miss Queenie won't be able to do anything to me. And even if I go, she can't do anything to me either. After all, I was personally recommended by Master Lucas to the Cao Clan's chief. The chief wouldn't allow such reckless behavior,” Rocky calmly analyzed.

"That makes sense.” A breath of calmness washed over Juey, but she still didn't want Rocky to go anywhere near the Cao Clan's residence. "Rookie, you'd better leave now. If you stay here any longer, maybe my father would force you to stay in some way or another. I know him very well.” "Truth be told, I planned to leave after knowing the reason why the Xiao Clan wanted to find me and asked me to take part in the Beast Master Contest. But your sister told me you weren't eating after thinking that I was driven out of the Xiao Clan for saving you. After hearing it, I decided to come to see you first, and then leave,” Rocky said bluntly.

"That's one of the reasons, but the real reason is that I'm already disappointed with this family. My whole family will do anything just to make the Xiao Clan stronger. Since I was always lagging behind my siblings, my father would treat me differently as if I was an outsider. He thinks I'm just a waste of space in the family. Ever since mother died, my father has been giving me the cold shoulder. But I can bear it because I know deep down I truly am good for nothing. When Miss Queenie threatened to disfigure me that day, my father didn’t even do anything to save me. He acted like I wasn't a part of the family. But then you came and saved me. You, an outsider, were the one who saved me..." Tears started to fall from Juey's eyes as she spoke. Her tone was full of resentment and anger, but there was also sadness and helplessness, like a child who just wanted to be loved by her family. She was doomed to have a miserable life the moment she was born into the Xiao Clan.

"You can't just roll over and accept your fate. You have to let them know that you're not useless. You're just as talented, if not more, as your brother and sister!" Juey's words reminded Rocky of the time when he just came to this world and became Basil. He also was treated as a piece of waste by the whole royal family because he didn't have the talent and skills to become a spirit manipulator. He was constantly being despised and looked down upon by everyone in the royal family. He knew fully well what Juey was going through at the moment.

"I also want to prove myself to my father. But I don't have the talent to be a beast curer at all,” Juey said with a sigh.

"Talent can only get you so far, but with hard work and effort, the sky is the limit. There is no free lunch in this world. You only have to work hard and then you will get the chance that no one else can get..." Rocky had experienced the same. After experiencing many setbacks and close calls, he still pushed his way through with sheer grit and effort in order to reach a level of existence where most couldn't even get close to. Although he was currently in the Timber Deity Empire and was at rock bottom, he knew it would only last for a short while. He would soon come back to the Holy Dragon Empire, take back what belonged to him, and get even with Alston.

"It's easy for you to say that. You are not me. You don't know how I feel," Juey couldn't help but complain after hearing what Rocky had to say. "I have always been working hard in order to learn. I know about medicinal herbs and flowers used to treat spirit-manipulated beasts and refine pills more than anyone in the Xiao Clan. But I don't have the talent to learn the Beast Curing Skill of my clan. You should have seen it. My sister has performed it before. If I want to become a real beast curer, I must be able to learn the Beast Curing Skill..."

"What's the Beast Curing Skill of the Xiao Clan called?" Rocky did see Mary perform a Beast Curing Skill that was like using spiritual power to heal spirit-manipulated beasts.

"Holy Life Saving Hand!" Juey answered.

"Do you know the formula of the skill?" Rocky asked.

"Yes, I do. But what do you need it for? It's no use even if I tell you, because ordinary people can't learn it,” Juey said while blinking her beautiful eyes.

"Just tell me." The corners of Rocky's mouth curled.

Juey hesitated to tell Rocky. The Holy Life Saving Hand was inherited only to Xiao Clan members. It was prohibited to teach it to an outsider. But deep down she knew she trusted Rocky, and she didn't see him as an outsider. She only knew the first two grades of the Holy Life Saving Hand, and there were nine in total. Plus, even if he knew it, he wouldn't be able to learn the skill. After all, only a really talented person could truly master the Holy Life Saving Hand and even Juey couldn't master it.
