Chapter 1154 Genetic Modification

The Commander in Chief of the enemy kept a sharp lookout for Rocky. He felt a shiver running down
his spine as Rocky got closer and closer. No one from his men could even stop Rocky, let alone fight
back. He had no idea that there was someone like that in the Rime Army Group. Who was he? Why did
he fight for the Rime Army Group?

"Commander in Chief, he is getting closer. Should we send all our elite commanders to stop him?" His
Deputy Commander in Chief's voice was trembling in fear. He was obviously frightened by Rocky's
breaking into the array. Rocky was coming towards them with an intensity that made them feel like the
God of Death was coming for them.

The Deputy Commander in Chief was not alone in this. All the soldiers and generals thought the same.
They felt their throats turn dry as their eyes followed Rocky's every step. Meanwhile, Rocky was
walking as if he were just strolling in his own backyard, but the intimidating aura he exuded was telling
a different story.

"No, don't bother anymore. We have already lost this battle." The Commander in Chief sighed in
dismay and shook his head. He knew that Rocky had successfully destroyed the morale of their army
by singlehandedly breaking into their array made of thirty thousand soldiers. If they fought, he could not
imagine how much loss they would suffer. Maybe they would all lose their lives here in the battlefield.

The Commander in Chief had already admitted defeat even without a fight. This had never happened
before in their entire history. This surrender destroyed the soldiers' confidence even more.

However, they all had to admit that it was indeed a wise move!

Not long after, Rocky directly faced the enemy's Commander in Chief under the watchful eyes of the
enemy's troops.



"Tell me who the hell are you?" Now that they had surrendered, they wanted to know who led them into
this tragedy.

"I am Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire," Rocky replied calmly, a smile creeping in at the
corners of his mouth.

"Prince Crimson? Are you Prince Basil? You're the one who made the Timber Deity Empire suffer at the
Gehenna Border as well as the one who was doing all these heroic deeds?" The face of the enemy's
Commander in Chief changed instantly. He looked at Rocky as if he could not believe that he was
there.

Everyone who heard Rocky's words was shocked too. Prince Crimson's fame had spread all over the
Wild Spirit Land. Everyone knew his name and his achievements these days.

After Rocky saved the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire from the Dragon Master Clan, the truth that
Prince Basil was still alive also got out. Not long after, the entire Wild Spirit Land learned about it. All
kinds of rumors about him and his capabilities were spread. Rocky was now the focus of countless
people, not only in the Holy Dragon Empire, but also in the entire Wild Spirit Land.

It was rumored that he could manipulate several spirit-manipulated beasts, and that he had the support
of the two largest armies of the Holy Dragon Empire. As the rumors were passed on, this Prince
Crimson was painted very mysteriously.

However, it was better to see it even just once than to only hear about it. That was what the thirty
thousand soldiers were thinking. Now they had to admit that all the rumors were indeed true. This
young man in front of them was able to accomplish anything, even including the old legends that
people told. The rumors did not describe even half of his charm and demeanor.

The existence of Prince Crimson of the Holy Dragon Empire was beyond everyone's imagination. He
was like a king who descended from the heavens and had the courage and strength to unify the Wild



Spirit Land.

"Since you know me, can you withdraw your army for my sake? The territory of the Holy Dragon
Empire is inviolable, and what I want is peace for the Holy Dragon Empire. That is all. Besides, this
kind of meaningless war is not good for your country. Why don't you insist on addressing the immediate
interests of your people?" Rocky said as if he was casually talking about the weather with a friend.

"Prince Crimson, do you want to win by virtue? However, I must remind you that this is a battlefield,
and there will always be bloodshed on the battlefield," the Commander in Chief of the enemy bluntly
answered, although he had already admitted defeat in his heart.

However, just as the Commander in Chief finished his words, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power
dashing towards him like a blade, which shocked him. He could not believe that he couldn't resist
Rocky's spiritual power even with his current cultivation base. This only meant that Rocky's strength
was totally above his.

This young man was only in his early twenties, but where did he get his astonishing strength? It was
unimaginable.

"If you really care about your soldiers and don't want your soldiers to see your head fall on the ground,
just withdraw and promise not to violate the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire in future." Rocky's eyes
were staring at him coldly, making him tremble with fear.

"Prince Crimson, I'm ordered by my emperor to do so. Even if we retreat this time, there is no
guarantee that other Commander in Chiefs will not come to challenge you in the future. But this time
we are definitely leaving!" As soon as the Commander in Chief finished his words, he raised his right
hand and shouted, "Attention everyone! Retreat!"

Soon enough, the enemies retreated with a clean sweep. The Rime Army Group won without
sacrificing even a single soldier.



The news that Rocky singlehandedly forced the enemy's thirty thousand soldiers to retreat without a
fight spread throughout the entire Wild Spirit Land soon, making other countries more afraid of the Holy
Dragon Empire.

Rocky stayed in the Rime Army Group for two days and discussed lots of important things with Marcia.

At present, the situation of the entire Wild Spirit Land was extremely tense. War was constantly going
on between countries, and the activities of the spiritual race behind each country were getting bigger
and bigger. It was said that some clans of the spiritual race even sent powerful ordinary spiritual beings
to participate in various battles. This broke the agreement among the clans of the spiritual race, so the
situation was terrifyingly out of control.

Although the Holy Dragon Empire was relatively at peace for the time being, they would soon meet the
members of the spiritual race in the battlefields soon. Therefore, they needed to strengthen the military
forces of the entire Holy Dragon Empire.

For an army, the number of spirit manipulators and spirit-manipulated beasts it possessed would
decide its combat ability. The reason why the mysterious army led by Alston was irresistible was largely
because they had an extraordinarily strong team of spirit manipulators and powerful commanders.
Therefore, it improved the overall combat effectiveness to a degree that an ordinary army couldn't
achieve. However, this was an extremely rare case.

Therefore, to improve the combat effectiveness of their army, they had to start from the foundation and
composition. In other words, they needed to improve every spirit manipulator's combat power.
However, this was restricted by various factors, so the only thing that could be improved was the spirit-
manipulated beasts of the spirit manipulators.

"Wait, you mean that you want to carry out an overall genetic modification of the spirit-manipulated
beasts owned by the spirit manipulators in the four groups?" After hearing Rocky's plan, Marcia was a



little surprised. Although she had some knowledge about genetic technology, she still could not imagine
that such an indescribable thing could change spirit-manipulated beasts and improve their power.

"Haven't you seen my success? Although there is a probability of failure, once a spirit-manipulated
beast is successfully transformed, its fighting capacity can at least be doubled, sometimes even
tripled," Rocky replied with an assuring nod. The reason why he built the Genome Research Institute
and conducted large-scale genetic experiments was to help the Holy Dragon Empire improve their
overall military strength. If that happened, the empire would be able to cope with any situation,
especially when it was under attack.
