Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Rocky was persuasive in his efforts to turn the situation around. Fortunately, he helped the Cao Clan emerge victorious from the beast evaluation competition in addition to gaining a psychological advantage. However, this benefit completely vanished after one day.

Unsurprisingly, the Qi Clan won the next day's beast taming competition. This meant the two clans would have one last battle against each other to settle the score once and for all—the beast curing competition.

In fact, none of the two clans had many advantages over the other in terms of beast curing. Finding several highly-skilled beast curers in the entire Wild Spirit Land would be difficult, let alone in the Timber Deity Empire.

Even in vast empires such as the Holy Dragon Empire and the Magic Phoenix Empire, finding a batch of skilled beast curers would still be quite challenging.

Just as Rocky's master Sheridan had said, among beast masters of the Wild Spirit Land, the beast curers were rarest. Those that possessed great strength were even fewer. If judged with such high standards, then none of the beast curers that took part in the Beast Master Contest were qualified.

Compared with their beast evaluation and beast taming skills, Alyssa's people's beast curing skills were at a serious disadvantage. Thus, it wasn't hard to imagine how inferior the beast curers who attended the Beast Masters Contest were.

Which was why Travis and Mary had the advantage of being in the limelight. Compared to the other beast curers who had no prior training or knowledge in terms of Beast Curing Skills, Travis and Mary had received medical training since early childhood. Coupled with the Xiao Clan's ancestral Beast Curing Skill which was quite famous in the Timber Deity Empire, the duo naturally grew up with the advantage. None of the senior beast curers who participated in the Beast Master Contest stood a chance against them.

A decade ago, the Cao Clan's former chief was involved in an incident. Ever since the Qi Clan always had a slight advantage over the Cao Clan in each Beast Master Contest and this

is unacceptable!" Lucas sighed and nodded. If the Cao Clan was defeated, they'd not only be trampled on by the Qi Clan, but also usher in a bloody storm of internal strife.

"By the way, where is Mr. Rookie? I haven't seen him for the entire day." Lucilla suddenly remembered and asked.

"I heard from Miss Juey that Mr. Rookie was suffering from some internal injuries yesterday after he used the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill. He required secluded cultivation to fully recover," Lucas explained.

"Are his injuries serious? Is he all right?" Lucilla asked, the worry clear in her voice. She never expected Rocky to go all out and acquire internal injuries in the process to help assure the Cao Clan's victory during the competition.

"I think he's fine. Queenie informed me that she visited Mr. Rookie yesterday and found out he was all right." Lucas nodded his head in reassurance.

"That's good," Lucilla commented as a wave of relief washed over her.

"Chief, what do you think of Mr. Rookie?" Lucas asked abruptly while looking at Lucilla.

"What do you mean, Master Lucas?" Lucilla asked in confusion.

"You've done enough for the Cao Clan over the past few years. I think it's time for you to get an assistant. I believe Mr. Rookie is a good choice. Besides, Chief, I can see that you have…certain feelings for him. So, I am thinking you two may..." Lucas said bluntly.
