Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Basil, let's go ahead first," Eunice murmured to Rocky, motioning for him to move forward. The two of them were highly likely to be in the same group anyway, and they couldn't care less about how the rest would choose their companions. Thus, they might as well leave the rest behind.

"All right. Let's go," answered Rocky, nodding quickly. But as the two of them were about to leave, Carla suddenly intercepted them and called after Rocky straightforwardly, "Wait! Let me go with you!"

Carla's words made Rocky pause and look back at her. He was silent for a moment because he was at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

Meanwhile, the other disciples were shocked and envious that Carla wanted to team up with Rocky. They all knew that she rarely worked with any man since she entered the Sky-suppressing School, but now, she suddenly wanted to form a team with Rocky. It was unbelievable!

They said that a kind of spiritual beast could perform the same spiritual skill as a spirit warrior could do, but I haven't seen evidence of it until now," Carla shared with the others, a marveling look on her face.

"I feel like this beast is going to be difficult to handle," sighed Rocky as his eyes narrowed slightly. The spiritual beast was more powerful than he had expected, and it didn't seem to be an ordinary spiritual beast at the advanced stage of the Spiritual Infant.

Just as the three of them were about to lose heart, several senior disciples suddenly appeared one after another. Those disciples had left earlier than Rocky and the two women, but they had surprisingly arrived later than them.
