Chapter 18 No Time To Run
About two hours later, Mia ordered everyone to gather around.
Rocky returned alone. The moment he saw Mia, he nodded his head and smiled. But Mia couldn't help but roll her eyes.
'She truly is an unpredictable and fickle woman, ' Rocky thought to himself.
"I believe that you should be able to remember the formula of nine grades of the Mysterious Dragon Skill now because this would be your last chance to learn it. I won't be able to teach you how to use it again. You must cultivate the Mysterious Dragon Skill at least two hours a day. Of course, the more time you spend on it, the more spiritual power you will be able to gain. The cultivation of the Mysterious Dragon Skill could greatly help you improve your dragon spiritual power. In particular, those of you who have weaker dragon spiritual power need to work harder than the others. Otherwise, I will weep you out in a month," Mia said as she looked at Rocky.
"And do not forget to always take good care of your war beasts. The war beasts are the spirit manipulator's alternative fighting strength apart from your own dragon spiritual power. In battle, your war beasts can actively fight for you while also protecting you from danger. Additionally, they can also help you resist any sudden attacks from your enemies. If a spirit manipulator can cooperate with their war beast perfectly, their strength will surely improve a lot. Therefore, your war beasts are as important as your own lives. Never look down on them. In particular, some of you might believe that once you have a stronger war beast, war dragon, spiritual beast, or spiritual dragon in the future, you will be able to release the war beast that you possess now which is why you don't feel the need to take good care of them. I shall warn you that having that attitude is something you will regret when the day comes," Mia said strictly.
"After I dismiss you, do you know what to do next? If you dare loaf on the job, I will have you running all night," Mia added seriously as she looked around. She ordered two deputies to supervise the training
as she left with the other deputies.
The young men ran around the dragon field at once except for three other young men.
If Rocky also ran ten laps like the others, he would be able to finish much quicker. But Mia asked him to run twenty laps which left him unwilling to run. Mia didn't say when he had to finish running twenty laps, so he had the freedom to run around the dragon field on his own pace. Other young men had finished running five laps while he only ran less than two laps and even happily sang tunes as he did.
But at that time, Rocky didn't notice the big red figure in the sky. Except Rocky, everyone's attentions were drawn to it as they stopped to watch it.
"Dragon! It must be a dragon!"
"So powerful! I don't know when I would be able to possess a war dragon. If I do, I would be very happy even if it is a very normal one."
"Me too! Even if I had to spend all my money on it, I would be willing to do it without hesitation!"
"You could only dream! If you want to take control of a dragon, you must be a royal spirit manipulator and have the strength above the Earthly Stage. Even if you can meet the said conditions, you would only be able to control a war dragon of one star. Dragons are much harder to control than normal war beasts and spiritual beasts. You need to have impeccable strength to control them."
When these young men exclaimed, the red figure quickly rushed to the back of Rocky.
Rocky heard a loud roar behind him. He turned his back and then saw the big red dragon, blocking out the sun. Rocky was surprised by what he saw.
"Dragon?" Rocky couldn't forget the first time he met a dragon, the one controlled by Shirley. He almost died during that time. Who owned this red dragon? As he raised his head, he saw a beautiful woman
watching him coldly as she sat on the back of the red dragon.
"Mia," Rocky shouted with a painful expression. All of a sudden, a bad feeling crawled up his spine.
He didn't know what to expect. Rocky didn't react until the big dragon opened his mouth to fire from his hip.
He shouted out, "Oh, my god!" At once, Rocky was terrified so he ran as fast as he could. He thought that the woman was not only capricious but also malicious.
"Scarlet Flame Dragon, go play with him and have fun." Mia softly touched her dragon.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon flapped its huge wings to closely run after Rocky. It would occasionally spit fire with its mouth leaving Rocky no choice but to run faster and faster.
As soon as the leading young men saw Rocky's painful situation, they all laughed loudly and applauded.
"What do you think you're doing? Do not dare to stop running. Do you want to end up in the same situation as him?" two deputies shouted at the young men.
The moment they heard it, they immediately grew nervous and continued running again.
Rocky didn't know how long he had run. He was so exhausted that he was starting to fall over his own feet. But the Scarlet Flame Dragon had no plans on waiting for him. Suddenly, his right arm caught the dragon's flame. At that moment, his right sleeve was singed away in places. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"Oh, shit! I thought you were just kidding. You are serious," Rocky cursed in his mind. Mia didn't show him any mercy. Rocky had to run as fast as his legs could carry.
Rocky panted heavily as he ran slowly. Finally, he fell down on his knees and had to use his hands to support his body.
But the Scarlet Flame Dragon was not going to stop anytime soon.
"Howl! Howl!"
All of a sudden, a tiny figure rushed towards Rocky in an attempt to protect him from the attack of the Scarlet Flame Dragon.
Rocky turned round and saw his war beast. 'Does it want to save my life?'
Mia who was sitting on the back of the Scarlet Flame Dragon only wanted to teach Rocky a lesson. Once she saw Rocky's war beast, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and asked the Scarlet Flame Dragon to stop.
