Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master

Chapter 5 Not A Loser

"Is Shirley really so powerful?" Rocky asked, seeing that Lena was really serious.

"Bart from the Ximen Clan was the recognized talent for manipulating the spirit since the first

generation of spirit manipulators was born. It's said that he possessed a strong power of spirit

manipulation beyond his years. Even Bryant, the most powerful spirit manipulator of the Ximen Clan

today, didn't match his strength at the same age. But Bart was not born into the Ximen Clan. He was

adopted by the patriarch at that time. Though he was talented, many people bullied him because he

was adopted, so he disappeared forty years ago. No one knows where he is now and some people

even say that he is already dead. Otherwise, the most powerful spirit manipulator in the Holy Dragon

Empire should be him, not Bryant Ximen. You should never underestimate Shirley. A spirit

manipulator's power is dependent on their own training and practice, but the key is being born with

talent. For instance, you can never be a spirit manipulator because you don't have the talent," Lena told

him bluntly. She knew it would hurt him in this way, but she wanted Rocky to understand the gravity of

the situation and not act recklessly again.

"Really? I don't think so! Once I have the opportunity, I will show you that talent is nothing," Rocky said

arrogantly. Lena was taken aback by his attitude.

"But what on earth are spirit manipulators and the spiritual method?" Rocky asked abruptly, and once

more Lena was shocked by his words.

"You truly don't remember anything! No wonder you've been saying such ridiculously arrogant things.

But I have never met anyone like you," Lena said with a relieved smile.

"Memory loss is better than being dead," Rocky sighed with emotion.

"Well, to put it simply, a spirit manipulator has the power to manipulate spiritual creatures and use the

spiritual method," Lena explained.

"Spiritual creature? What's that? I've never heard of this kind of creature, I only know primates..."

Rocky murmured, confused.

"Spiritual creatures are creatures that have the spirit such as cats, dogs, wolves, tigers, leopards and

so on. Of course, what makes the spirit manipulators in the Holy Dragon Empire most proud is that we

can manipulate dragons. You know, what Shirley was riding!" Lena said proudly.

"That was a dragon?" Rocky asked in surprise.

"Yes," Lena affirmed.

"It is really related to dinosaurs, but it is a little different from what I imagined before. I must catch one

and do some research once I have the chance," Rocky murmured, his eyes filling with expectation and

excitement as he touched his chin.

"Relative of dinosaurs? What are dinosaurs? There are only two kinds of dragons: the war dragon and

the spiritual dragon. I've never heard that dragons have relatives called dinosaurs," Lena was in turn

confused by Rocky's words.

"Oh, nothing," Rocky said dismissively. He asked again, "Was the powerful light Shirley used to hit me

the spiritual method?"

"Yes, and Shirley only used one-tenth of her power. If she uses her full power, she can make a city wall

collapse in one second. You would most definitely be a pile of flesh and bones now if she attacked you

with full power. So don't ever offend her again from now on, and don't you even think about

commenting on her figure. Do you understand?" Lena said severely.

"I get it. Don't worry. I won't offend her as long as she doesn't offend me." Rocky did not care much

about what Lena had warned him about. But he was interested in the other thing that Lena told him, so

he immediately asked, "I want a dragon as well. Can I have one?"

"Manipulating dragons is a unique talent and ability of our royal clan of the Holy Dragon Empire. Since

you are the prince, you could manipulate dragons, but... You have used up all your chances, Basil,

because you participated the sacred ritual five times and also failed five times to bond with the Dragon

Spirit Bead and attained the dragon spiritual power," Lena sighed as she shook her head.

"What is the dragon spiritual power?" Rocky was still confused.

"Something that gives you the ability to manipulate dragons. Otherwise, ordinary spirit manipulators

can only manipulate regular spiritual creatures. And to acquire the dragon spiritual power, you have to

bond with the Dragon Spirit Bead which contains the dragon spiritual power and is brought by the

ambassadors of the Dragon Master Clan at the sacred ritual of the Holy Dragon Empire. If you

successfully bond with it, a Dragon Spirit Mark will show on your arm, and that means you have

acquired the dragon spiritual power. Only in that way can you manipulate a dragon," Lena explained to

him patiently.

"What is the relationship between the Dragon Master Clan and the Holy Dragon Empire? Why do they

give such a powerful bead to the Holy Dragon Empire?" Rocky was still struggling to absorb all this

new information.

"What? You've even forgotten that basic fact?" Lena asked, shocked. She felt so strange at Basil's

memory loss and altered attitude.

"Yes, looks like I have lost so much memory." Rocky was afraid that Lena would doubt him.

Lena had to continue to tell Rocky the background of this world.

Rocky learned that this world was called the Wild Spirit Land where the spiritual race lived with human

beings. The spiritual race was the hybrid of the ancient mythical creatures and humans in the ancient

times. They had strong power and they could manipulate every kind of creature in the world. And the

Dragon Master Clan was a high-class clan in the spiritual race. They could not only manipulate regular

spiritual creatures, but also manipulate the powerful dragons.

However, because the spiritual race had low reproduction rates, their population significantly decreased

for thousands of years. So some clans of the spiritual race had died out, and the rest clans of the

spiritual race were headed in the same direction.

But hundreds of years ago, some clans of the spiritual race noticed the human beings in primitive

times, so they began to try to bond the power of the spiritual race into human beings to carry forward

their power. The founders of the Holy Dragon Empire were the first group of people who got the power

from the spiritual race.

From then on, these people who got the power of the spiritual race reproduced and evolved rapidly.

They had gotten stronger and wiser for hundreds of years. At last, they developed into this beautiful

world.

Besides the Holy Dragon Empire, there were many other human kingdoms where the humans had got

the power from other clans of the spiritual race on the Wild Spirit Land. The Holy Dragon Empire was

the most prosperous of these kingdoms, with other nations also occupying a part of the land and Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

strengthening their power. The fighting among the clans of the spiritual race became the fighting among

the human countries. The spiritual race made humans replace themselves to fight the endless war.

As they developed for thousands of years, the humans who had acquired the power of the spiritual

race evolved and strengthened the power. At last, the power of the spiritual race was divided into six

stages: the Mortal Stage, the Earthly Stage, the Heavenly Stage, the Supernal Stage, the Divine Stage,

and the Immortal Stage. Each stage had nine grades, with the ninth being the highest.
