《I Let You Manage the Beast Taming Arena, Now Everyone Became Divine Beasts?》 Chapter 1

Chapter 1: What? You Want Me to Manage the Gym?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Blue. Yin City. Inside Starlux Gym, Giles was feeding a group of small beasts. The little beasts hummed as they ate the red fruit that he handed over. Their eyes were squinting as if they were enjoying the delicacy at that moment. ¡°All of you eat so much all day, but you don¡¯t grow any bigger. I wonder where all your food went?¡± Giles smiled at their nonchnt behaviour and continued to put the fruit in front of them. After a while, seeing that they were almost done eating, Giles put away the remaining fruits and prepared to head back. Just then¡­ . Whoosh! A dark shadownded at Giles¡¯ feet and tugged at his pant leg. Giles instantly felt a huge forceing from his leg and he couldn¡¯t break free. He looked down and saw a little ck gori. ¡°I knew it was you, Little ck. You¡¯re alwayste for meals.¡± While saying that, Giles handed Little ck the rest of the fruit. Little ck took it and started eating happily. Staring at it, Giles felt slightly wistful. ¡°To have such strength before growing up¡­ The spirit beasts in this world are simply too terrifying.¡± That¡¯s right, Giles was a transmigrator. He had transmigrated from Earth to the present world. Unlike Earth, this was a world where spiritual energy had awakened. Hundreds of years ago¡­ The blood moon hung in the sky, enveloping the entire world. The Blue instantly became countless timesrger, and many unknown ces appeared. However, this was not a good thing. At first, the humans did not notice anything unusual. Instead, they organized teams to explore these unfamiliar territories that no one had ventured to before. Who would have thought that there would be numerous ferocious beasts inside? Humans had suffered an unprecedented attack. Other than that, the animals and nts in the real world also began to evolve into all kinds of terrifying ferocious beasts. Within a short period of time, countless animals evolved, developed intelligence, and began to attack humans. At that moment, they were more than ten meters long. Even mankind¡¯s firearms could not stop their advancement. In this spiritual-energy awakening, the only ones who did not evolve were humans. Some people felt that it might be because humans had reached the peak of evolution, so they couldn¡¯t infuse the spiritual aura and evolve further. However, it was useless to talk about all these. The reason being that the apocalypse had arrived. In the face of these terrifying ferocious beasts, the human army suffered defeat after defeat and was massacred by these vicious beasts. Many people had to leave their homes and struggled to survive. In just a few decades, mankind had lost 80% of its poption. Without a good solution to deal with this crisis, the extermination of humanity would be imminent! Fortunately, someone had inadvertently discovered a special connection between humans and the ferocious beasts. Using this connection, humans could contract the ferocious beasts andmunicate with them, thereby turning them into theirrades. These beasts that were contracted were known as Spirit Beasts. The people who contracted them were called Beast Tamer. Henceforth, the Blue entered the era of spirit cultivation! Anyone could choose their own spirit beasts to contract and cultivate, imparting thembat knowledge. Just like that, under the leadership of generations of powerful Beast Tamers, humans escaped the cmity of extermination and began tounch a counterattack against the ferocious beasts. In the end, the humans chased the beasts back into the forest and won the final victory. Countless yearster, human civilization had been rebuilt. New steel cities rose from the ruins destroyed by the ferocious beasts. The survivors gradually adapted to their current peaceful lives. This was obtained through earless Beast Tamers who put their lives out there in exchange for all of these. Presently, Beast Tamers had already be a nation-wide upation. After reaching a certain age, everyone could choose to contract a spirit beast. This also led to the birth of numerous Beast-taming Gyms. Beast-taming Gyms were exclusive ces to evaluate the ranks of Spirit Trainers. At the same time, they could provide the training grounds that Spirit Trainers needed. In addition, each Beast-taming Gym was also a ticket to the Global Beast Tamer Tournament. Only those who sessfully challenged a certain number of Beast-taming Gyms could participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament. This was the dream of almost every Beast Tamer. Everyone wanted to participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament to prove themselves. This resulted in many people challenging the Beast-taming Gyms, wanting to obtain the admission ticket to the tournament. Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a voiceing from the front yard. Probably someone here to challenge the Beast-taming Gym. Giles understood and walked over to watch the battle. ¡°Hello, Gym Leader, I want to challenge you!¡± A girl of around 17 or 18 years old, said to the Gym Leader in the training ground of the Starlux Gym. She clenched her fists and took a deep breath, looking a little nervous. Opposite her was a woman in her twenties. She was slim and had a pretty face. Her skin was as white as snow, and she had a head of golden hair. It was Alice, the ninth-generation leader of the Starlux Gym. Faced with the girl¡¯s challenge, she flipped her hair aside and smiled. ¡°I ept your challenge. What level of challenge do you want to choose?¡± ¡°Sil-silver rank.¡± The girl was still a little nervous. Even her tone sounded a little unnatural. With that, she raised her right arm, and a silver tattoo on it began to glow. The next moment, a cat-like animal appeared beside the girl. ¡°This is my spirit beast, Green-tailed Cat!¡± ¡°Gym Leader, please teach me.¡± Alice also raised her arm and began to summon her spirit beast. When the light disappeared, a huge silver wolf appeared beside her. ¡°Spirit beast, Silvermoon Wolf King.¡± ¡°The challenge begins.¡± Following Alice¡¯s announcement, there was a sh of light and the training ground was enveloped in a transparent light shield. This was the Gym¡¯s protective measure. This was to prevent the gym from being affected by the attacks of the spirit beasts during the challenge. Giles, who was watching from outside the training ground, shook his head. ¡°Another one who¡¯s not afraid of death.¡± As one of the only two people in the gym, he was sure that this girl would lose. This was because the gym leader¡¯s spirit beast, the Silvermoon Wolf King, was no ordinary spirit beast. Although it was of the same rank as the girl¡¯s spiritual beast, the Silvermoon Wolf had a unique innate skill. [Bloodthirsty Halo: It can greatly increase one¡¯sbat power within a short period of time.] As for the girl¡¯s spirit beast, the Green-tailed Cat, apart from somemon skills, it basically didn¡¯t have any innate skills. Unless that spirit beast could evolveter on, there would be no suspense in the oue of this match. As expected, a momentter¡­ The girl¡¯s spirit beast was defeated. It turned into a ray of light and flew back to the tattoo on the girl¡¯s arm. ¡°I lost.¡± The girl hung her head dejectedly and turned to leave. She wasn¡¯t the only one who had failed the challenge. To his knowledge, there were many of them. She was just one of many. Not just anyone could qualify to participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament. In every tournament, there would be an astonishingly talented Beast Tamer who would shine and be the vanguard of the new generation, obtaining innumerable glory. For these reasons, how many people ended up participating in thepetition with their heads bleeding? One could imagine how difficult the road there was. Giles shook his head and stopped thinking about all that, as he saw Alice signal for him to go over. A momentter¡­ Giles was utterly confused. ¡°What? You want me to manage the Beast-taming Gym on your behalf?¡± Chapter 2

Chapter 2: The Gym Leader Goes on a Long Journey, The Spirit Beasts Cause Trouble

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the training ground of the gym. Giles waspletely stunned. What kind of joke is this? He¡¯s just an ordinary Bronze-rank Beast Tamer. Usually, he only did some odd chores in the gym. Now, the leader was asking him to manage the gym for her. Gilese felt like his brain had stopped functioning. ¡°Leader, are you serious?¡± Honestly, Giles didn¡¯t want to take on the job.. If he had the time, he might as well look into his problem about his own beast taming talent. When he first transmigrated to this world, Giles had still been a little excited. After all, in his previous life, he especially liked the world of Pok¨¦mon. In the process of going out to train, they would catch different creatures, meet more friends, go through battles with their creatures, and so on. This was a life Giles yearned for. This world undoubtedly satisfied his fantasies. There were all kinds of spirit beasts, genius Beast Tamers, and the Global Beast Tamer Tournament. It was very simr to the Pok¨¦mon world. Therefore, Giles was especially looking forward to the day he became a Beast Tamer. However¡­ When Giles reached the age where he could tame his beast, he selected his first spirit beast with great expectations and made a contract. Then, his hopes were dashed. His talent for beast taming was terrible. The worst kind. He could only contract a Bronze-rank spirit beast In his previous life, one would call him a good-for-nothing. The saying that ¡°the wheel of fortune turns¡± was all but empty talk when it came to him. For the Beast Tamers of this world it was not as simple as just leveling up. Beast Tamers usually leveled up together with their spirit beasts. In the beginning, every Beast Tamer would contract with a Bronze-rank spirit beast. Then, they would cultivate the spirit beast and impart it withbat knowledge to help it level up. After a spirit master leveled up, it would spur the Beast Tamer¡¯s spiritual power to be stronger. Through this, the Beast Tamer could then contract higher-rank spirit beasts. However¡­ This wouldn¡¯t work on Giles as the essence of a Beast Tamer contracting a spirit beast was essentially to use spiritual power to connect to a spirit beast. The stronger one¡¯s spiritual power was, the more powerful the contract would be. The advancement of the spiritual beast would feed the Beast Tamer again, forming a positive cycle. After Giles contracted a spirit beast, the spirit beast¡¯s advancement did not enhance Giles¡¯s spiritual power. For example, he had contracted a Bronze-rank spirit beast. After the spirit beast leveled up, he could either give up the contract or forcefully continue the contract. However, forcefully continuing the contract would only cause Giles to be attacked by the spiritual power of the spirit beast, and thereby turn him into an idiot. Needless to say, he would not risk his life. With regard to this, Giles spected that the reason might be because he had transmigrated here. However, that was no longer important. After reading up on a lot of relevant knowledge, Giles realized that it was not a must to contract a spirit beast in order to be a Beast Tamer. There were records in the history of Beast Tamers¡¯ development. The first Beast Tamer that was born back then did not establish a contract with a spirit beast. Instead, he treated spirit beasts as hispanions and apanied them in their growth. The intelligence of a spirit beast was simr to that of a human. Under these circumstances, spirit beasts would often be loyalpanions of their Beast Tamers after growing up. However, this method had its drawbacks. That was, the spirit beasts would not be able to be controlled and could easily cause problems. For example, the spirit beast, Green-furred Dog. If a contract was not established with this kind of spirit beast, it basically wouldn¡¯t listen to the orders of a Beast Tamer. At present, there was one such beast in the Starlux Gym, and no one had contracted with it yet. It was usually full of energy and was like the huskies in his previous life. It often wreaked havoc in the gym. For a period of time, it gave Giles a massive headache. Back to the main topic. Although this way was uncontroble, at least there was still hope. Thus, Giles usually treated the spirit beasts in the gym as hispanions. He hoped to find a spirit beast that could fight alongside him. Except¡­. Giles¡¯ hopes of this were dashed as well. The spirit beasts in the gym were all brought back by the Gym Leader and were very close to the Gym Leader. They were pretty much just harsh to him and put on an aloof attitude. It was only when he fed them that their attitude towards him improved slightly. However, Giles didn¡¯t give up and kept trying this method. Apart from this, rumour had it that there was another way. It was to not contract with a spirit beast right from the start and use other means to strengthen one¡¯s own spiritual power. If he seeded, he wouldn¡¯t need to contract a Bronze-rank ferocious beast as a transition. He could directly contract a higher-rank spirit beast. However, this was just a theory without any actualisation. Strengthening his own spiritual power. It was easier said than done. How could it be so easy to achieve? Back to the main topic. Giles really didn¡¯t want to take over the gym. With that time, he might as well look into how to solve his own problem. However, what the Gym Leader said nextpletely eliminated his thoughts of turning her down. ¡°Someone sent a message. There seems to be traces of Mythic Beasts appearing in the Hengduan Mountain Range. I want to go over and take a look.¡± ¡°Other than that, I have to visit a few old friends. It will probably take some time.¡± ¡°Therefore, I¡¯ll leave everything in the gym to you,¡± the Gym Leader said slowly. When he heard that, Giles shuddered. Mythic Beast? One had to understand that the ranks of the spirit beasts in this world were divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Epic, Legend and Mythic. It was the same for Beast Tamers. The current Gym Leader was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer and was considered one of the top few Beast Tamers. As for Mythic-rank Beast Tamers, no one had seen them before. Some people were even doubtful whether there were any Mythic-rank Beast Tamers. Now, there were traces of Mythic Beasts. Naturally, some powerful Beast Tamers wouldn¡¯t be able to sit still and would want to go and check. Giles knew he had no reason to turn her down. Putting aside the fact that after transmigrating to this world, the previous Gym Leader had adopted him since he was young, just the appearance of the Mythic Beast this time was already a huge event. Giles scratched his head, knowing he¡¯d just have to put a square peg into a round hole. ¡°Before Ie back, reject all the Beast Tamer rank evaluations, Beast Tamer challenges, et cetera. Just take good care of those spirit beast cubs in the gym.¡± After handing over the relevant matters, Alice summoned a Giant Golden Eagle and mounted it. Following a loud eagle cry, she gradually disappeared into the horizon. As he watched the Gym Leader gradually disappear, Giles¡¯ eyes were filled with envy. At the same time, it strengthened his conviction to be a Beast Tamer. However, when he thought about the spirit beasts in the gym¡­ He immediately felt overwhelmed. Usually, with the Gym Leader around, some of them were already mischievous. Now that the Gym Leader was far away and he was alone, he couldn¡¯t control those energetic beasts. Giles rubbed his forehead and grimaced. ¡°I hope that it will be quiet and there won¡¯t be any trouble.¡± However, thest thing he wanted to happen still happened. A few minutester, he arrived at the spirit-beast section of the gym. The veins on his forehead immediately popped. All he saw was chaos. A group of spirit beasts was making a din. Giles winced. ¡°I knew it¡­¡± Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Why Don¡¯t I Tell You a Story?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Starlux Gym. In the spirit-beast section. The Green-furred Dog was barking loudly, the Little Gulu Duck was pping its wings incessantly, and the other spirit beast were also making a din. This was undoubtedly a demonstration of the word ¡°chaos¡±. ¡°It really happened.¡± When Gym Leader Alice left, Giles had a feeling that this would happen. The reason being that something like that had happened before in his childhood memories. At that time, it was the previous Gym Leader who had gone out.. The spirit beast cubs in the gym were also causing a ruckus like now. The intelligence of spirit beasts was simr to that of humans. These spirit beasts, which were only a few years old, were the equivalent of young children among humans. Since they were brought back by Gym Leader Alice, they were extremely reliant on Alice. Alice hadmunicated with them before she left. Listen to Giles. Don¡¯t mess around. However, how could a group of spirit beast cubs that were like human children, listen to her instructions? As soon as Alice left, they forgot those words. At that moment, they were like children without their mother, and causing all sorts of trouble. The young gori named Little ck also grabbed Giles¡¯ pants and refused to let go. It stared at Giles withrge watery eyes. Giles immediately felt a headacheing on. Although they spoke differentnguages, Giles knew very well that Little ck was asking him to get Gym Leader Alice toe back. But how was that possible? If it weren¡¯t because this was an important matter, Gym Leader Alice wouldn¡¯t have left. However, when he saw the group of spirit beast cubs surrounding his feet, Giles felt like there was really nothing he could do. ¡°If it were a human child from my previous life, the moment the feather duster is brought out, they would immediately be obedient!¡± However, this was a group of little ancestors and they couldn¡¯t be beaten or scolded. Not to mention that Giles could not defeat them¡­ Because even if they were cubs, they were all Bronze-rank spirit beasts with different powers. ¡°What a headache, how do I coax these little ancestors?¡± All of a sudden, Giles had an idea. How about I tell them stories from my past life? After living in this world for so many years, Giles learned that the ssic stories from his past life had not appeared in this world. As he had been adopted by the previous gym leader since he was young, he did not have to worry about food and clothing. Hence, he never had the idea of bing a giarist. However, under these current circumstances, these storiese in handy. Giles remembered that when he was a kid, every time he saw those storybooks, he couldn¡¯t help but immerse himself in them. As for the spirit beast cubs in front of him, they were just some children that had yet to grow up. Telling them stories they¡¯ve never heard of before. This will work! Just as he said he would do it, Giles looked at the spirit beast cubs around him. ¡°Why don¡¯t I tell you a story?¡± Upon hearing this, the spirit beasts were stunned. Their small eyes were filled with huge confusion. ¡°I¡¯ll take that as a yes.¡± Then, Giles sat on a rock by the pond and cleared his throat before slowly saying, ¡°The main character of today¡¯s story¡­ is a duck.¡± ¡°The story is about a duck undergoing all kinds of tribtions and working hard before eventually transforming into a swan..¡± The sun was shining brightly and a cool breeze blew by the pond. A human and a group of beasts were gathered together. Sitting on the rock with a serious expression on his face, Giles animatedly began to tell the story of ¡°Ugly Duckling¡±. The spirit beast cubs surrounded him and pricked up their ears, listening attentively. Giles¡¯ gentle and pleasant voice traveled through the air along with the breeze. ¡°Along an extremely beautiful river, a duck hatched from its shell.¡± ¡°However, because it looked different from the other ducks, everyone mockingly called it an ugly duckling. ¡°Look, that duck is so big and ugly¡­¡± ¡°Everywhere it went, this duck was mocked and ostracized.¡± ¡­ How could the spirit beast cubs have ever heard this story? They were instantly immersed in the world of stories. Among them, there was a spirit beast that was listening to the story even more attentively than the rest of them. It was a Little Gulu Duck. Its eyes were closed as it listened attentively. Its soul seemed to be guided by an inexplicable force into the world that Giles spoke of. Its soul rapidly roamed the world as Giles spoke. Just like itself, it saw Ugly Duckling hatching from its shell. It saw the ducks mocking Ugly Duckling. It saw Ugly Duckling being chased out of the flock of ducks by the other ducks. The Little Guru Duck waspletely immersed in the story. It didn¡¯t understand why Ugly Duckling was being mocked, it was angry that Ugly Duckling was being bullied, and it was powerless to do anything for it. Then, the scene changed. It saw Ugly Duckling wandering on the streets, but it was despised by other animals and humans. It saw the envy in Ugly Duckling¡¯s eyes when it saw the swan. It saw Ugly Duckling charging toward the graceful swan in despair. The Little Guru Duck¡¯s heart tightened as it shouted in its heart. Don¡¯t go over, they will bully you too! However, what it imagined did not happen. Giles¡¯ story continued. ¡°It charged towards the swans in despair, trying to get close to these elegant animals. ¡°It thought that these swans would hate it for being such an ugly creature. It thought that they would bully it and bite it to death.¡± ¡°None of this happened. The swans looked at it in amazement and eximed endlessly that Ugly Duckling was the most beautiful swan they had ever seen.¡± ¡­ Following Giles¡¯ words, the Little Guru Duck was immersed in Ugly Duckling¡¯s world once again. It saw Ugly Duckling transforming into a beautiful swan after experiencing trials and tribtions. It saw Ugly Duckling receiving endless praise from the white swans. It saw Ugly Duckling flying into the blue sky. It was not an ugly duckling, but an elegant swan! From an ugly duckling to white swan, from ugly to beautiful, and flying from thend to the blue sky. All these made the Little Guru Duck¡¯s soul tremble with excitement. As Giles finished his story, the Little Guru Duck left that world. It opened its tightly shut eyes. They were still surrounded by the familiar grasnd. It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion. The other spirit beasts also left the world of stories. However, they were no longer noisy. It was as if they were still revelling in the story Giles had just told. Giles was pleased to see this. ¡°As expected of a famous story from my previous life, it¡¯s so useful!¡± Giles then left the ce to go and take a nap. He finally managed to appease these little ancestors. He had to reward himself. However, what he did not realize was¡­ Among the spirit beasts, the Little Guru Duck stood rooted to the spot. A peculiar energy lingered around its body. It seemed extremely mysterious. Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Evolution, Gold-rank Swan Beast!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions On the meadow by the pond. After Giles left, the group of spirit beast cubs slowly snapped out of it. They had never heard such a story before. Ever since they were born, they had been eating and sleeping. Now that they suddenly realized that such an interesting story existed, all of them began dancing animatedly and wailing. They itched for Giles to tell them another story. When they realized that Giles had left, the little gori called Little ck immediately beat its chest and stamped its feet, howling at the other spirit beasts beside it. The next moment, the voices of different spirit beasts rang out.. It was as if they weremunicating. After that, all the spirit beasts except for the Little Guru Duck, charged out of the spirit beast section. They only had one goal. To have Giles tell them another story. After the spirit beast cubs left, only the Little Guru Duck was left in the spirit beast section. It was still immersed in Ugly Duckling¡¯s story. It was deeply shocked by this story and couldn¡¯t help but question itself. I¡¯m a duck, too. But the spirit beasts around me have never bullied me. Yet I¡¯ve been content with this current situation. I¡¯m really resting on myurels. Ugly Duckling eventually transformed into a white swan, so why can¡¯t I? Ugly Duckling was just an ordinary duckling, but it had transformed into a beautiful swan in the end. As a spirit beast, I possess great strength. Can¡¯t I evolve into a beautiful swan? No, I can do it. I definitely can! The Little Guru Duck went over to the pond and looked at its reflection. It had never hated its appearance so much. Am I really willing to live the life that I have now? No, I can¡¯t ept this! I want to be like that ugly duckling, spreading my wings and soaring into the blue sky! But¡­ What should I do? As it struggled internally time and time again, a sense of inferiority gradually arose in its heart. It was as if there was another mocking voice in its heart like that of those who mocked Ugly Duckling. Quit dreaming, you are just a duck! You are destined to live on the ground for the rest of your life. You will never be a beautiful swan! Voices echoed in its heart. At that moment, it was truly lost. All of a sudden, it recalled Ugly Duckling¡¯s story. Its entire body and mind were immersed in Ugly Duckling¡¯s world, just like when he was listening to Giles¡¯ story. It had witnessed Ugly Duckling transform into a white swan over and over again. Its heart went from the initial wavering to gradually bing iparably firm. Nothing could sway it. In reality. The mysterious energy surrounding it gradually increased and began to envelop its entire body. Suddenly, it felt a wave of paining from all over its body. It immediately screamed and all the muscles in its body contracted as it copsed onto the ground. It felt as if it had fallen into hell, and endless pain was tormenting its body. It vaguely felt that as long as it gave up the thought of bing a white swan, the pain would immediately disappear. However, it did not. It opened its eyes wide and let out a heart-wrenching scream. I want to change the life that I have now! I want to soar into the blue sky! I must be a beautiful swan! The Little Guru Duck¡¯s eyes began to turn ferocious and wild. Blood even trickled out from the corners of its eyes. It closed its eyes again and immersed itself in Ugly Duckling¡¯s world. Every time the thought of giving up appeared in its mind, it would constantly tell itself. Ugly Duckling could be a beautiful swan. I can do it too! I will definitely do it! The mysterious energy gradually increased and enveloped Little Guru Duck in its entirety. A shrill voice rang out from inside. Then, everything returned to normal. Then¡­ An hourter, the mysterious energy around Little Guru Duck gradually dispersed, revealing the Little Guru Duck inside. It woke up from itsa and felt its weak yet much stronger body. Its eyes were extremely bright. Did I seed? Have I be a swan? It went over to the pond with trepidation. The next moment, it was disappointed. It was a body that was far more powerful than before. It was filled with power. It was hard to imagine that this was its body. However, Little Guru Duck was not satisfied with this. Its mouth opened slightly, revealing a human-like smile. Indeed, it still didn¡¯t be a beautiful swan. However, this thought was abandoned in the blink of an eye. It had already read Ugly Duckling¡¯s story countless times in its mind, and its heart was already set in stone. No one could sway it! I will definitely seed! The next moment, the mysterious energy that was dissipating around him suddenly stopped. Then, it rapidly expanded and engulfed Little Guru Duck¡¯s entire body again. Just like that. Little Guru Duck woke up from its slumber time and again before falling into a deep sleep. However, it did not turn into the white swan that it expected. Yet, it still did not give up. The mysterious energy continued to envelop its entire body, dissipating then enveloping it again¡­ Gradually, a breeze blew over from afar. The mysterious energy wrapped around the little Guru Duck dispersed again. Even though it knew that the chances of sess were slim, it still went over to the pond. This time, it waspletely stunned. On the calm water surface¡­. A beautiful white swan was staring back at it through the water. Little Guru Duck quietly observed its new body. It exuded a cold and aloof aura, and its snow-white feathers had no impurities. Aside from that, it was no longer as young and child-like as before. Its elegant body hid a huge amount of power, and its entire body emitted a trace of the dangerous aura of a high-rank spirit beast! If Alice hadn¡¯t left, she would have screamed at the sight. After listening to a story, the Bronze-rank Little Guru Duck had evolved into a Gold-rank Swan Beast in a short period of time! If word of this got out, no one would believe it! However, this was real. The Swan Beast clumsily spread open its wings and with a gentle p, it flew up into the blue sky. It trembled with excitement as it felt the cloud pass over its body. It really seeded! No one could understand its current feelings. It thought of Giles. If not for Giles, how could I be my current self? He is my benefactor, I want to repay him! With that thought in mind, the Swan Beast raised its long, swan neck, pped its wings, and flew toward Giles¡¯ residence. Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Turns Out I Am a Genius Beast Tamer

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the residential area of the Starlux Gym. At that moment, Giles, who still did not know that Little Guru Duck had evolved into a Swan Beast, was taking a nap. Just then, Giles suddenly felt a tremor in his mind, followed by another vague sensation, as if he had established a connection with something. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Sensing something amiss, Giles immediately lost his urge to sleep. He shook his head, but the feeling did not disappear. Giles sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes. He calmed himself and focused on the connection in his mind. A momentter¡­ . His eyes suddenly flew open and his face was filled with disbelief. He was familiar with this connection. This was the result of an initial contract between a Beast Tamer and a spirit beast. It was the connection between both their spiritual powers. Although Giles knew that he could only contract a Bronze-rank spirit beast, he had never contracted a spirit beast before. Before this, he had tried to contract many Bronze-rank spirit beasts, so he knew this feeling very well. However, it was precisely because he was too familiar with this that Giles felt like he was dreaming. This was because he could clearly sense that the spirit beast that he had established a contract with was not a Bronze-rank spirit beast. That powerful spiritual fluctuation was even stronger than the bronze-rank spirit beast at its peak, that Giles had contracted before! Silver-rank spirit beast? That thought shed through Giles¡¯s mind. But how is that possible! He was well aware of his beast-taming talent. At most, he could only contract with a Bronze-rank spirit beast at its peak. Now, there was actually a spirit beast beyond the Bronze rank that had established a contract with him. Are you kidding me? Isn¡¯t this out to kill him? After the contract was established, Giles would be attacked by the spiritual power of the spirit beast. With his bronze-rank spiritual power, it was impossible for him to resist. In a single exchange, his spiritual power would be crushed and he would be an idiot. Giles forced himself to calm down. At present, the only solution was to find the spirit beast that was currently establishing a contract with him and stop the contract. Only then would he have a chance to live. With this thought in mind, Giles jumped off the bed and prepared to rush out the door. However, just as Giles gripped the door handle, he suddenly felt the connection in his mind begin to elerate, and then sessfullyplete connecting. A momentter¡­ Giles looked at the spirit beast tattoo that had suddenly appeared on his right arm and scratched his head in confusion. ¡°So¡­ I¡¯ve established a contract with a spirit beast that is beyond the bronze rank?¡± Giles suddenly felt like the world was so dreamy. ¡°Am I dreaming?¡± The first time he tried establishing a contract with a spirit beast, the previous gym leader told him that he could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts in his lifetime. Giles, who was determined to be the strongest Beast Tamer, was naturally disgruntled. He had studied many books rted to beast taming and wanted to solve his problem. However, he had yet to seed. Who would have thought that he would contract with a spirit beast that was beyond the bronze rank? Giles didn¡¯t sense any problems either. Although he didn¡¯t understand why, it was still a good thing. After all, he can now establish a contract with a silver-rank spirit beast. If he studies this thoroughly and makes sense of it, he will naturally be able to establish a contract with higher-rank spirit beasts. Thinking of this, Giles opened the door and prepared to find the spirit beast that had established a contract with him. This was the first Silver-rank spirit beast that he had contracted. To him, it held a deep meaning. On the other hand, Giles was also very puzzled. Where did this Silver-rank spirit beaste from? One had to know that there were no other spirit beasts in the gym apart from the group of bronze-rank spirit beast cubs. Could it be a wild spirit beast from outside? With this thought in mind, Giles began to sense the connection with the spirit beast in his mind. ¡°It seems to be in the sky.¡± Giles looked up. A white figure descended from the sky andnded beside him. Giles looked over and stared. It was a snow-white swan. It looked intelligent and aloof. Its elegant body seemed to be hiding a huge amount of power. Its entire body emitted a dangerous aura that only high-ranking spirit beasts possessed. Giles had only seen such an intense aura on the gym leader¡¯s Epic-rank Giant Golden Eagle. In other words¡­ The spirit beast in front of him was a Gold-rank spirit beast! The next moment, Giles was stunned. He suddenly realized that at the other end of the connection in his mind, was the Swan Beast in front of him. ¡°So, I didn¡¯t contract a silver-rank spirit beast, but a Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± Giles really felt like his brain couldn¡¯t function. His spiritual power could actually withstand the impact of a Gold-rank spirit beast! Suddenly, Giles thought of that rumor. That was to not contract with a spirit beast right from the start and use other means to strengthen one¡¯s own spiritual power. If one seeded, they could directly contract a high-ranking spirit beast. Until then, Giles had always thought that this rumour was unreliable. However¡­ Didn¡¯t him contracting a Gold-rank spiritual beast now tie in with that rumour? Gradually, a spection formed in Giles¡¯ mind. Could it be that his spiritual power was already very strong, so after establishing a contract, the advancement of the spirit beast could not help his spiritual power level-up? As a result, the previous gym leader had mistakenly believed that Giles could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts. Thinking of this, Giles suddenly had the urge to hang the previous gym leader up and give him a beating. What a scam. If he hadn¡¯t contracted a Gold-rank beast in a daze today, Giles wouldn¡¯t have discovered the abnormality of his spiritual power. He had lived two lifetimes. How could his spiritual power possibly be low? He sensed his mind again and found that his spiritual power did not feel unusual even after contracting the Swan Beast. This means that contracting a Gold-rank spirit beast is not his limit. Beyond that, there are still the Legend and Mythic ranks¡­ Realising this, Giles was overjoyed. However, as someone who had lived two lives, he quickly adjusted his mentality. Then, Giles began to size up the swan in front of him. He had never seen such a spirit beast before. However, this was not surprising as there were many types of spirit beasts in this world and many of them had not been discovered by humans. But why did this spirit beast choose to establish a contract with him? Giles was very puzzled. Therefore, he directly used his spiritual power tomunicate with the spirit beast and asked this question. Beast Tamers couldmunicate directly with their own spirit beast using spiritual power. ¡°Master, I¡¯m Little Guru Duck. After listening to your story, I evolved into this.¡± ¡°In order to repay Master, I chose to be your spirit beast. He heard the reply. Giles looked up at the sky and fell silent. Bronze-rank Little Guru Duck. It heard a story. Then, it evolved into a Gold-rank swan. Turns out, not only am I not trash, I am also a genius Beast Tamer? Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Spirit Beast Cubs Are Dumbfounded. One Can Actually Evolve From Listening to a Story

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Told a story to the spirit beast, and it evolved from Bronze-rank to Gold-rank. No one would believe it. However, this really happened. Giles¡¯ eyes lit up. He still had many ssic stories from his previous life. If he tells these stories to other Bronze-rank spirit beasts, will they also evolve like the Little Guru Duck? Thinking of this, Giles was not in a hurry to examine the Swan Beast¡¯s abilities. ¡°Little Guru Duck, no.¡± . ¡°You¡¯re my spirit beast now. I¡¯ll give you a name. Let¡¯s call you Little White.¡± ¡°Little White, go and call all the spirit beasts over. I¡¯ll tell you a new story.¡± Giles was prepared to give it a try to see if Little White¡¯s evolution was a coincidence or if it was really because of the story he told. ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Hearing this, the Swan Beast¡¯s eyes revealed a tinge of excitement. Master is going to tell another story. I wonder what kind of story it will be this time? With this thought in mind, it pped its wings and flew into the azure sky to search for the spirit beast cubs. On the other hand, Giles went back to his room and took out pen and paper as he recalled the stories from his previous life. Which one should he tell? ¡­ On the other hand, ever since the spirit beast cubs heard the story that Giles had told them, they were all immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves from it. However, what made them angry was¡­ Giles had run off somewhere after telling this story. They flocked together and searched the gym but could not find him. In the end, they could only return to the spirit beast section and reminisce about the previous story in their minds, tofort themselves. Just then¡­ A white swan descended from the sky andnded in front of the cubs. A dangerous aura lingered around its body. Instantly, all of the spirit beast cubs became extremely vignt as they bared their teeth and red angrily at this ¡°uninvited guest¡±. ¡°What are you guys doing? Why are you looking at me like that?¡± The Swan Beast was confused. It wondered why its friends were treating it like this. ¡°Who are you? What are you doing here?¡± Bracing himself, Little ck stepped out from the group of spirit beasts and spoke to the Swan Beast. ¡°Our gym has an Epic-rank Giant Golden Eagle. If you don¡¯t leave, it will beat you up.¡± Hearing those words, the Swan Beast immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that it had changed so much that its ymates no longer recognized it. ¡°I¡¯m Little Guru Duck. I just evolved to be like this after hearing Master Giles¡¯ story,¡± it exined to its friends. ¡°What, you¡¯re Little Guru Duck?¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± ¡°How can you be Little Guru Duck? You look nothing like it.¡± Upon hearing the Swan Beast¡¯s words, the spirit beast cubs immediately started discussing. ¡°It¡¯s true. I listened to Ugly Duckling¡¯s story and wanted to be a beautiful swan like it. Then, I evolved into what I am now.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯m already a Gold-rank spirit beast,¡± the Swan Beast straightened its long goose neck and said proudly. ¡°Ah, is that true? You evolved just by listening to Giles¡¯ story. Don¡¯t lie to us.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. We heard the story too, but we didn¡¯t evolve either.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. You were only a Bronze-rank spirit beast before. How could you evolve to be a Gold-rank spirit beast so quickly?¡± The cubs expressed their doubts. The Swan Beast did not get angry at all. It knew that this was normal. If this was before its evolution, it would not believe this either. Thus, it released a trace of its Gold-rank spirit beast power. Even though it did not use its full strength, all of the spirit beasts immediately fell silent and trembled uncontrobly on the ground. They felt like they were facing an ancient ferocious beast. The pressure and intimidation it brought was almost tangible, causing their souls to tremble. After the Swan Beast kept its powers, they crawled up from the ground, dumbfounded. ¡°Do you believe me now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not lying to all of you. This is real.¡± At that moment, all the spirit beasts were stunned. They could clearly sense the unique aura of a Gold-rank spirit beast emanating from the Swan Beast. This aura could not be faked. If that was the case, then it was true that one could evolve by listening to Giles¡¯ story? Many spirit beasts became restless when they thought of this. They did not expect an ordinary Bronze-rank Beast Tamer to be so powerful. One had to understand that a Beast Tamer would have to nurture their spirit beast for a long time before it could level up each time. The gym leader had raised her Giant Golden Eagle since she was a child and it took a very long time before her spirit beast rose to the Gold rank. Yet right now, all they had to do was listen to Giles tell the story for them to evolve. What a terrifying Beast Tamer. In an instant, Giles¡¯ figure became iparably tall and mighty in the hearts of these spirit beast cubs. ¡°Little Guru Duck, can you lead us to Giles?¡± ¡°We want to hear him tell us stories again.¡± ¡°Yes, yes. I also want to evolve and be a Gold-rank spirit beast!¡± No creature could resist a powerful force. The same went for the spirit beasts. Usually, they would establish a contract with the Beast Tamer from when they were at the Bronze rank. Then, under the continuous nurturing of the Beast Tamer, they would level up and gradually possess greater strength. Now, there was a shortcut. No spirit beast would think of refusing. Thus, they surrounded the Swan Beast and blinked theirrge, watery eyes. ¡°Master Giles gave me a name. You can just call me Little White.¡± ¡°I came at Master Giles¡¯ orders. He wants to tell us a new story,¡± the Swan Beast said slowly. Upon hearing this, all the spirit beasts cheered. The little ck gori was the most eager and climbed straight onto the back of the Swan Beast. ¡°Little Guru Duck, oh, no, Little White, fly me over. I haven¡¯t flown before.¡± ¡°We want it too.¡± The Spirit Beast didn¡¯t refuse. After evolving, its body was extremelyrge, so it was very easy for it to bring this group of spirit beast cubs along. A momentter¡­ The cubs arrived at the residential area of the gym. ¡°Master, I brought them here.¡± The Swan Beastmunicated with Giles using spiritual power. Giles, who was pondering, threw the pen in his hand aside, pushed open the door, and walked out. He saw the spirit beast cubs lined up neatly on the ground. When they saw him, their eyes lit up and they stared at him pitifully. Even the usually mischievous Green-furred Dog was obediently squatting on the ground, looking at him hopefully with its tongue stuck out. Seeing this, Giles couldn¡¯t help butugh. Normally, it was impossible to see this scene. Only the interesting stories from his previous life could attract them. Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Another Evolution, Gold-rank King Kong Beast

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the residential area of the Starlux Gym. All the spirit beast cubs were staring at Giles, waiting for him to tell them a story. They wanted to hear a new story, but they also wanted to evolve after listening to the story and obtain greater power. All these were something only Giles could do. On the other hand, Giles felt a headacheing on when he looked at the numerous spirit beast cubs in front of him. . The reason being there were too many interesting stories in his previous life and he did not know which one to tell. Just as he was pondering quietly, the spirit beast cubs below could no longer sit still. When they saw that Giles did not speak after a long while, they immediately became anxious. Initially, they could still hold themselves back, but after a while, they could not help but howl and scratch their ears and cheeks. Howls rang out incessantly. However, they didn¡¯t dare to rush Giles. This was because right now, Giles was a God in their eyes. Just one story could help them to evolve. What else could he be but a god? However, there were always bold ones around. Among the spirit beasts, the little ck gori scratched its ears and cheeks. He couldn¡¯t help but go over to Giles and tug at his pants. Giles snapped out of his thoughts. Seeing the little gori¡¯s anxious expression, he could not help butugh. Suddenly, a thought shed across his mind. He recalled a story rted to a little gori. Okay, that¡¯s what I¡¯m going to talk about. He stroked the little gori¡¯s head and then swept his gaze over the other spirit beast cubs. ¡°Okay, all of you have been waiting eagerly, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± When they heard Giles¡¯ words, the spirit beasts instantly quietened down. A gentle breeze carried Giles¡¯ voice to the ears of every spirit beast. ¡°Okay, the main character of today¡¯s story is a gori.¡± ¡°Amidst the endless sea, there is an ind called Skull Ind.¡± ¡°A powerful gori lives on Skull Ind.¡± ¡°Its body is iparably tall, almost to the Heavens. Every single move it makes can unleash immense power.¡± ¡°Its name is King Kong.¡± ¡­ A different world, a different story. Instantly, all the spirit beast cubs were immersed in it. Among them, the little gori seemed to have been pulled into a whole new world by some mysterious force. It saw Skull Ind standing amidst the boundless sea. It saw all kinds of ferocious beasts on the ind. It saw a huge gori walking in the forest. Its enormous body that was dozens of meters tall emanated an immense oppression. It felt that this gori called King Kong was very simr to itself. Or rather, they were of the same race. The difference was¡­ Their bodies were worlds apart. Its soul could clearly feel the immense power contained within King Kong¡¯s body. It looked at this giant beast that was simr to itself but much stronger. Its soul trembled with excitement. It turned out that their race could evolve to this extent. Can I evolve to this extent? At that moment, an uncontroble desire to evolve and be stronger emerged in its heart. I can definitely do it! Since this senior can evolve to this extent, then I can do it too! I too want to evolve into such an existence with immense power. The little gori stared at the figure that wasparable to a Godfiend. Its heart was filled with boundless motivation and confidence. As his mind churned, the story continued. ¡°King Kong encountered those terrifying monsters.¡± ¡°The battle between them began.¡± ¡°In the end, King Kong eliminated all the monsters and guarded this ind alone.¡± ¡­ The scene in front of the little gori changed. It saw King Kong tearing apart those ferocious beasts in battle. It saw King Kong be the ruler of the entire ind. It saw King Kong walking slowly towards the depths of the ind under the setting sun. The story ended. However, King Kong¡¯s indomitable aura and terrifying strength left a deep impression on the little gori. It could never be erased! On the other hand, after the story ended, Giles stared hard at the little gori. This was because when he started telling this story, he realized that his spiritual power had directly established a connection with the little gori. This connection was simr to establishing a contract, but not the same. Simply put, it was like Giles had used his spiritual power to y a movie for the little gori. Moreover, he etched this movie in its mind forever, so it could watch it over and over again. But is this rted to its evolution? Giles was extremely curious. The little gori had yet to open its eyes. Its soul was still immersed in King Kong¡¯s world. It reyed the story again and again. It began learning about the way King Kong fought. It kept encouraging itself. It was determined to be a spirit beast like King Kong! Gradually, an unknown amount of time passed in this King Kong world. All of a sudden, it cked out. When it opened its eyes again, it realized that it had seeded! No, that¡¯s not right. It quickly came to a realisation. It had be the King Kong in the story. It grew up in this world as King Kong. It encountered other ferocious beasts. It began to imitate King Kong¡¯s fighting stance and fought with them. Failure. Failure. ¡­ Endless failures. It did not give up. Nothing could sway its resolute heart. Failure. ¡­ Sess! It finally defeated its first ferocious beast. It roared with all its might and tore the ferocious beast into two. Blood stained its entire body. It did not care. One. Two. Three. ¡­ Eventually. It defeated all the strange beasts on the ind! It became the sole ruler of Skull Ind! Then¡­ Its vision went ck. It realized that it had left King Kong¡¯s body. It saw a huge gori appear before its eyes. That was King Kong, the form it wanted to evolve into! It wanted to evolve into an existence like King Kong! Its conviction was unbelievably firm and no one could sway it! At the same time in real life, a mysterious energy enshrouded the little ck gori¡¯s body,pletely enshrouding it within. After a moment¡­ The mysterious energy wrapped around the little gori shattered. A four-meter-tall gori appeared at the same spot. Its eyes were wide open as it pounded its chest with its fists and roared towards the sky. Then, it stopped and examined its body. Right now, it was far stronger than before. Aside from that, it had also awakened an innate skill. Giantize: Huge increase in body size and power. It immediately activated this skill. The next moment. Its body continued to grow taller. Four meters. Five meters. ¡­ Eventually, it came to a stop at about ten meters. It felt a little disappointed. It still couldn¡¯t catch up to Senior King Kong. However, it was not discouraged as it believed that it would reach that level one day. Then, it canceled its innate skill and returned to its original body size. On the other hand, Giles shuddered at the sight. Good Lord. It really sessfully evolved. It¡¯s time to call it King Kong. It seems to be even more powerful than the Swan Beast. It seems to have awakened a talent skill as well. What story should he tell next? Sigh, what a headache. Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Innate Skill, Super Atomic Ray

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At that moment, King Kong Beast had already canceled its innate skill. However, its four-meter-tall body still brought immense pressure to the spirit beasts. It went directly to Giles. It knew very well that it was all because of Giles that it could be like this. Hence, it chose to be Giles¡¯ spirit beast. The next moment, Giles felt a faint connection appear. Then, it quickly solidified. Giles immediately understood that the King Kong Beast was establishing a contract with him.. However, he did not panic this time. This was because he knew that his spiritual power could withstand itpletely. A momentter, the contract was established. Giles heard the King Kong Beast¡¯s clumsy voice in his head, ¡°Thank¡­ Thank you, Master.¡± Giles wanted to pet its head, but realized he couldn¡¯t reach it. He scratched his head awkwardly. The King Kong Beast seemed to understand Giles¡¯ embarrassment. Its body suddenly shrunk to about one-meter tall. It can be smaller too? Giles was momentarily stunned. Then, it patted King Kong Beast¡¯s head. On the other hand, all the spirit beasts were astonished upon witnessing this sight. Previously, they had only heard from the Swan Beast and were still skeptical. Now, they personally witnessed the little chimpanzee evolve into its current state after listening to the story. It didn¡¯t seem much different from the Swan Beast. It was even stronger than the Swan Beast! At that moment, all the spirit beast cubs went crazy. They all leaned over to Giles and stared at him eagerly. Giles knew that these spirit beasts still wanted him to tell them stories. ¡°Alright, alright. Sit back down.¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll tell you onest story.¡± When they heard this, all the spirit beasts sat on the ground in an orderly manner and remained silent. Giles, on the other hand, was thinking about what story to tell. What story should he tell after King Kong? Godzi? Suddenly, this movie popped into Giles¡¯ mind. Alright, let¡¯s tell them the King Kong versus Godzi version. After all, Godzi was a viin in all the previous versions. He couldn¡¯t lead these spirit beast cubs astray. After deciding on the story, Giles let out a cough and started telling it. ¡°Okay, there are two main characters in this story. One is the King Kong from the earlier story, and the other is a ferocious beast named Godzi.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s put King Kong aside for now and talk about Godzi¡¯s story first.¡± ¡°A ferocious beast lives in the sea area.¡± ¡°Its body is as huge as King Kong.¡± ¡°It is the guardian of this. Whenever a monster invades, it will step forward bravely.¡± ¡­ ¡°Until one day, it met King Kong.¡± ¡°A war is about to break out.¡± Hearing those words, the hearts of all the spirit beasts tightened. Especially the King Kong Beast. They all wanted to know the final oue of the two beast kings. Who won and who lost. The story continued. ¡°Godzi unleashed his signature skill, Super Atomic Ray, but King Kong dodged it.¡± ¡°The two beasts started fighting again.¡± ¡­ At that moment, among the spirit beasts¡­ A beetle suddenly felt its body tremble, and then its soul seemed to be pulled into the world of the story. It realized that it had be the Godzi in the story! It slept in the dark waters until it was awakened by an evil beast and came tond. When it saw the ferocious beast wreaking havoc in the city, it immediately felt a surge of anger. A ray of light shot out from its mouth and destroyed the evil beast. Just like that. In this virtual space. It transformed into Godzi and encountered countless monsters. However, it destroyed them every single time. In this process, it had used its Super Atomic Ray many times and was very familiar with it. After many years, it met its match. It was a huge gori named King Kong. Its signature skill failed to hit the beast. Afterwards, the two fought several times, but neither side won. It was indignant and began to think of ways to strengthen itself. It continuously pushed its own abilities, trying to shoot out even more powerful Super Atomic Rays. Defeating King Kong became its only goal in this world. Some timeter, it fought King Kong again. It had to win this time. The two beasts fought intensely. Finally, it seized an opportunity and defeated King Kong! It won! At that moment, The little beetle¡¯s soul was suddenly shaken out of this world. It could sense how weak it was in reality, and it suddenly felt a little disappointed. Yeah, so what if I won? It was Godzi who won, not me. I¡¯m so weak and I¡¯m not even as big as King Kong¡¯s finger. I would be crushed into dust in a single blow. Just as it was thinking this, it suddenly realized that something had appeared in its mind. It saw the huge Godzi unleashing Super Atomic Rays. This ray illuminated the entire space, as if it wanted to shatter the heavens. Seeing this scene, the little beetle was extremely envious. If only I had the same skill. No, I think I know this skill. The little beetle suddenly remembered that it had transformed into Godzi in the story world and had used this skill many times. It had long been etched into its mind. I can do this. I can unleash this skill in the world of stories. I can also use this skill in real life! Just like that. The little beetle¡¯s consciousness observed Godzi¡¯s figure in its mind while its body constantly tried to release Super Atomic Rays. Once. Twice. ¡­ It did not know how many times it had tried. But it didn¡¯t give up. Because it felt like it was almost there. It was about to seed. At the same time, a glowing energy enveloped its entire body. This was the sign of a spirit beast¡¯s evolution. Inside the ball of light, the small beetle was still trying to release the Super Atomic Ray. Finally, at that moment, it seeded. A scorching ray of light as thick as an adult¡¯s arm shot out from the ball of light, passing through the clouds and disappearing into the horizon. After two seconds, it slowly dissipated into the air. The mysterious energy surrounding its body began to disperse, revealing the small beetle inside. Giles stared at it with wide eyes and stood rooted to the spot for a long time. Good lord! Initially, he thought that after telling this story, it might evolve into an existence simr to the King Kong Beast. He did not expect this oue at all. This little beetle actually awakened Godzi¡¯s Super Atomic Ray! Furthermore, the power of it didn¡¯t seem weak. How terrifying would the skill be after the little beetle evolved? Giles gasped. Just then, the little beetle also stepped forward to ask to be contracted. Towards such a spirit beast with great potential for growth, Giles naturally wouldn¡¯t turn it down and he directly established a contract with it. After that, Giles saw it was already veryte. First, he kept the three spirit beasts he had contracted today into the spirit beast tattoos on his arm. Then, he promised to tell the spirit beasts a story every day before returning to his residence. After all, he had been busy all day. He had contracted two Gold-rank spirit beasts and one Bronze-rank spirit beast with great potential. It was also very exhausting. Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Trouble Comes Knocking, The Challenge from a Beast Tamer

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The next day. Inside a cafe in Yin City. There were three or four young people sitting together. One of the arrogant men said, ¡°Did you know? The gym leader of Starlux Gym went out.¡± ¡°How could I not know? The news of a Mythic Beast appearing in the Hengduan Mountain Range has long spread. Alice will definitely go.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think this is a good opportunity?¡± the man said slowly as he raised his coffee cup. ¡°Bart, what do you mean?¡± ¡°Bart, we¡¯re all close friends here. Just be honest.¡± The man named Bart took a sip of coffee, then put down his cup. ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t hide it anymore.¡± ¡°As far as I know, after Alice left, the only person in the gym right now is someone named Giles.¡± ¡°But this Giles is only a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Now, does everyone understand what I mean?¡± When Bart was done, the others started discussing. ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s only one Bronze-rank Beast Tamer in the Starlux Gym now. We can challenge him!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If we were to challenge Alice, we wouldn¡¯t have any hope of winning. But it would be easy to defeat a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°We also have to be careful in case Alice left her own spirit beast behind,¡± ¡­ While they were discussing, one of the girls said timidly, ¡°Erm, isn¡¯t that a bad idea?¡± Bart smiled. ¡°Annie, what¡¯s so bad about that?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you always dreamed of participating in the Beast Tamer Tournament?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a good opportunity? As long as you seed, you¡¯ll qualify to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, had you known earlier, you shouldn¡¯t have chosen yesterday to set the challenge.¡± That¡¯s right, this girl called Annie was the person who had failed in the challenge against Alice the day before. ¡°Well¡­ okay.¡± Anne couldn¡¯t resist Bart¡¯s coaxing and reluctantly agreed. Bart¡¯s smile widened. Immediately, the group of them rushed towards Starlux Gym. ¡­ On the other hand, inside the Starlux Gym, Giles was preparing the daily spirit fruits for the spirit beasts. Not only were these red spirit fruits the daily food of spirit beasts, but they also contained a special kind of energy. Eating them over a long period of time could improve the body constitution of spirit beasts. As a result, such spirit fruits were not cheap. However, there was a spirit-fruit forest behind the gym. All of the spirit fruits that the spirit beasts ate were harvested from there. So Giles didn¡¯t have to worry about that. With this thought in mind, he carried arge bucket of spirit fruits towards the spirit beast area. As expected, as soon as he arrived, he was surrounded by the spirit beast cubs. It was obvious that they were all waiting for him to tell them a story. ¡°I still have something on. I¡¯ll tell the storyter.¡± Giles turned them down. He did have something on today. Three spirit beasts had evolved yesterday. However, Giles still did not know what abilities they had obtained after the evolution. He nned to go to the training ground to test it out. When the spirit beasts heard Giles¡¯ words, they stopped pestering him even though they were unhappy. After what they had experienced the day before, they were filled with respect for Giles. After the cubs finished eating, Giles went straight to the training ground. He raised his right hand, and the spirit beast tattoos on his arm glowed. Three spirit beasts appeared before him. They were the three spirit beasts that had evolved yesterday. Swan Beast, King Kong Beast and Little Beetle. ¡°I want to test you all today. Who wants to go first?¡± Giles looked at the three of them and spoke. The three spirit beasts looked at each other. ¡°I, King Kong, did not lose. Let the Beetle and Iplete our unfinished battle!¡± ¡°Come on then, I can defeat you with one Super Atomic Ray!¡± ¡­ The voice of King Kong Beast and Little Beetle rang out in Giles¡¯ mind. After hearing the content, Giles face-palmed himself helplessly. Since he told them the story of King Kong versus Godzi the day before, they began to act like pubescent idiots and ced themselves in their respective roles. They insisted on fighting it out to see who would win. However, both were Giles¡¯ spirit beasts, so he would not agree to that. ¡°Enough, don¡¯t bring this up again.¡± ¡°In that case, let¡¯s test Little White¡¯s strength first.¡± Hearing this, the Swan Beast straightened its long goose neck. ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Just as it was about to use its skills, a voice came from outside the training ground. ¡°Is anyone here?¡± Hearing this, Giles dismissed the idea of the test and walked towards the source of the voice. A momentter, a few seventeen or eighteen-year-olds appeared in Giles¡¯ line of sight. It was Bart and friends. ¡°We¡¯re here to issue a challenge.¡± Bart raised his head proudly and said arrogantly. Challenge? Giles scratched his head. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the gym isn¡¯t epting challenges now.¡± Bart was stunned when he heard this. But soon, a smile appeared on his face. Giles¡¯ refusal made him realize that Alice hadn¡¯t left any high-rank spirit beasts behind when she left. If she did, he would not reject the challenge at all. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but Gym Leader Alice told me before she left that Starlux Gym is currently rejecting any Beast Tamer rank evaluation and challenges from Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°Everything can wait until the Gym Leader Alice returns,¡± Giles continued. Bart was even more certain of his theory when he heard that. He smiled confidently and said slowly, ¡°Mr Giles, it¡¯s not easy for us to have the time toe over for the challenge. I hope you¡¯ll ept it.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles frowned. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯ve made myself clear.¡± ¡°Pleasee back another day.¡± After multiple rejections, Bart was even more confident. ¡°No, no, no, Mr Giles.¡± ¡°As far as I know, there isn¡¯t a single gym that can turn down the challenge issued by other Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°If you still insist on rejecting me, I don¡¯t mindining to the Beast Tamer Association about the situation in your gym.¡± Hearing this, Giles¡¯ gaze swept over all of them. When he saw Annie, who failed the challenge yesterday, he was stunned. He immediately understood that they were here to cause trouble. The Beast Tamer Association was an association jointly established by many reputable Beast Tamers. They were responsible for handling spirit beasts, Beast Tamers, and various Beast-taming Gyms. Previously, when Gym Leader Alice went to the Hengduan Mountain Range, it was the Beast Tamer Association that had sent the news over. In addition, there was a rule in the Beast Tamer Association. Beast-taming gyms were not allowed to turn down any challenges issued by Beast Tamers. Vitors of this rule would be severely punished. This was to prevent Beast-taming Gyms from rejecting any Beast Tamer¡¯s challenge due to personal grudges or any other reasons, thereby not giving them the qualifications to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament. Thus, if Giles turned them down today, even if it was not due to a personal grudge, if it was reported to the Beast Tamer Association, Starlux Gym would definitely be punished. At the thought of this, Giles¡¯ gaze turned icy. It just so happened that he was troubled about being unable to find test subjects for the newly-evolved spirit beasts. ¡°In that case,e on then!¡± Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Who Told You That I¡¯m a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the training ground of Starlux Gym. Giles stood to the side, staring coldly at Bart and his group. As soon as the Gym Leader Alice left, they arrived right after and were so rude in the way they spoke. Even a fool could tell that they were a bunch of opportunists. Giles didn¡¯t want to cause any trouble, but he wasn¡¯t afraid of trouble if it came knocking either. He looked down on these people from the bottom of his heart. So what if they seeded in the challenge after Alice left? Their true colors will still be revealed in the Beast Tamer Tournament. A bunch of people who only knew how to take advantage of loopholes, one could imagine their true beast-taming rank.. Giles wasn¡¯t afraid at all. Not to mention that he had already contracted two Gold-rank spirit beasts. Even if he went out to challenge other gym leaders, he would have a chance of winning, let alone dealing with these people.? ¡°Who wants to go first?¡± Giles¡¯ gaze slowly swept across each and every one of them. ¡°Annie, you go first.¡± Bart walked over to Annie and spoke softly. ¡°Right now, he is the only one in the Starlux Gym. He is also a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer. With your strength at the peak of Silver rank, it will not be a problem to deal with him.¡± Annie was hesitant. ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea.¡± Bart continued tofort her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The Beast Tamer Association didn¡¯t say that we can¡¯t do this.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, go ahead. Once you defeat him, you¡¯ll obtain the qualifications to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament.¡± Hearing this, Annie clenched her fists and walked to the training ground. After all, the Beast Tamer Tournament was her dream. In the arena of the training ground, the protective barrier had been activated. Annie raised her right hand and summoned her peaked Silver-rank spirit beast. ¡°This is my spirit beast, the Green-tailed Cat.¡± It was the same spirit beast from yesterday. However, at that moment, it seemed to be in low spirits. This was due to the failure of the challenge yesterday. Even though spirit beasts were able to enter the Beast Tamer¡¯s arm to recuperate after they were injured, they would not recover straight away. Therefore, the spirit beast was not in a good form. However, Bart and the others didn¡¯t think it was a problem because in their eyes, Giles was just a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer. Now that he was up against the Silver-rank Beast Tamer, Annie,the oue of this match had already been decided even though her spirit beast was not in a good form. This was what they thought. They felt that they could already see the oue of Giles¡¯ defeat. That was exactly what Bart expected. Annie had been depressed ever since she lost the challenge the day before. Seeing his goddess like this, Bart naturally had to find out the reason. After finding out the reason, he began to think about how to make his goddess happy. Until today, he suddenly learned that Alice had disappeared. He immediately decided to bring Annie to continue the challenge and turn the tables. At that moment, his eyes were zed as he looked at the beautiful figure in the arena. ¡°Annie, defeat him hard.¡± In the arena. Giles looked at the girl in front of him and spoke slowly, ¡°Are you sure you want to challenge me?¡± Annie was stunned when she heard this. Giles had a feeling that the girl hadn¡¯te up here willingly, so he needed to make sure. Of course, if she really wanted to continue with the challenge, Giles wouldn¡¯t go easy on her even if she was a girl. Giles continued, ¡°I can tell that you¡¯re feeling very conflicted.¡± Bart smiled smugly when he heard this. At that moment, Giles¡¯ behaviour was just a bluff. ¡°Giles, are you afraid?¡± ¡°He must be afraid. After all, he¡¯s only a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Yeah, Annie is a peaked Silver-rank Beast Tamer. She can probably defeat him in one move!¡± ¡°Cut the crap. Just summon your spirit beast and fight to determine the winner.¡± ¡­ In the arena. Staring at Giles¡¯ handsome face, Annie was at a loss. Then, she thought of the Beast Tamer Tournament and her gaze became resolute. ¡°I know that my actions might be a bit despicable, but for the sake of participating in the Beast Tamer Tournament, I can only do this. I¡¯m sorry!¡± Giles sighed at her behaviour. That¡¯s right, the Beast Tamer Tournament. Every Beast Tamer¡¯s dream. It was the world-best pce in the hearts of every Beast Tamer. Only a Beast Tamer who stepped into that ce could be considered a powerful Beast Tamer. However, adopting such a tactic to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament was no different from cheating. Giles knew there was nothing more to say. His gaze sharpened. Since she had made such a choice, she should not me him for being impolite. ¡°Swan Beast,e out.¡± The next moment, an endless light shed. A snow-white swan appeared beside Giles. Its elegant body exuded a sense of power, and a faint sense of danger emanated from its body. ¡°Gold-rank Spiritual Beast, Swan Beast!¡± Giles¡¯ tone was cold and emotionless as he slowly spat out the rank of the swan beast. He wanted to shatter everyone¡¯s expectations! Taking advantage of the situation and exploiting loopholes would not work on him! On the other hand, Giles was also indirectly reminding this girl called Annie. Her spirit beast, the Green-tailed cat, had gone through a battle yesterday and had yet to recover. If it experienced another battle, it would probably suffer irreversible injuries. Even though Annie and the others were here to cause trouble, it had nothing to do with the spirit beasts. Giles had been in this world for more than twenty years and had taken great care of every spirit beast. In Giles¡¯ eyes, every spirit beast was the bestpanion for humans. They were no less intelligent than humans. Therefore, he hoped that Annie would admit defeat and give up on the challenge. However, below the arena, Bart and the others were shocked by what they saw and what Giles said. Bart¡¯s face was filled with disbelief. ¡°Impossible, how could you have a Gold-rank spirit beast!¡± Giles red at him coldly but said nothing. In an instant, the entire training ground fell silent. Everyone¡¯s breathing and heartbeat could be heard. The next moment, Bart shattered this atmosphere. He stared hard at Giles, thenughed. ¡°You¡¯ve all been fooled by this guy!¡± ¡°Do you remember? He¡¯s a piece of trash that can only contract a Bronze-rank spirit beast. How could he possibly have a Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°Annie, don¡¯t be scared by him. It¡¯s a bluff!¡± When the others heard this, they all came to their senses. They had all heard about Giles¡¯ talent. Yet now, he was saying that he had contracted a Gold-rank spirit beast. Needless to say, they wouldn¡¯t believe him. ¡°If not for Bart¡¯s reminder, I would have been fooled by him!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This Giles usually looks honest, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be so cunning.¡± ¡°Annie, help us teach him a lesson.¡± ¡­ In the arena. The others¡¯ words kept entering Annie¡¯s ears, and she gradually made up her mind. ¡°Green-tailed Cat, use Shadow Assault!¡± Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ gaze turned fierce. Since that was the case, there was nothing more to say. ¡°Swan Beast, let me see what abilities you have. Show me!¡± Following Giles¡¯mand, the Swan Beast started moving. The immense aura of the Gold-rank spirit beast enveloped the entire training ground. It spread its wings open and quickly closed them. Skill: Wind Wings, activate! Immediately, a fierce gale appeared out of nowhere and rapidly increased in power, engulfing the entire arena. The Green-tailed Cat, who was still in the shadows, was hit. It let out a blood-curdling scream and copsed in the arena. Instant kill! This was aplete suppression! After the battle ended, Giles nced coldly at Bart and his group. ¡°Who told you that I¡¯m a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer?¡± Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Giantize Innate Skill, Instant Kill

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the training ground of Starlux Gym. With Giles¡¯ instant kill, the oue was decided. Everyone was shocked. There was indeed no suspense in this match. It was a crushing victory. However, it was the opposite of what they had imagined. The winner was Giles! In the arena. The Green-tailed Cat was unconscious.. Ity on the ground, convulsing. Seeing this scene, Annie¡¯s heart ached so much that she was on the brink of tears. She quickly went forward and kept the Green-tailed Cat in the space on her arm. Giles looked at the girl quietly, then slowly opened his mouth, ¡°For your own glory, you forced your wounded spirit beast to fight.¡± ¡°That aside, you didn¡¯t even know the status of your opponent¡¯s spirit beast, yet you let your own spirit beast fight.¡± ¡°With all due respect, a person like you is not fit to be a Beast Tamer!¡± Giles wasn¡¯t a talkative man. However, after what had just happened, he really wanted to say something. Perhaps the youngdy before him wasn¡¯t intentionally disregarding spirit beasts. However, she had not considered the consequences before taking action. As a result, her spirit beast was severely injured. This was all on her! So, whether she listened or not, Giles said what he did. He just hoped that the girl could understand. On the other hand, Annie felt like every word that Giles uttered was pounding on her heart like a hammer. Tears streamed down her face uncontrobly. That¡¯s right. It was all because she wanted to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament that the Green-tailed Cat suffered such serious injuries. This was all her fault. She recalled the first time she met the Green-tailed Cat. She remembered that the Green-tailed Cat had brought her a fish for her birthday. She recalled how the Green-tailed Cat had been squeezing its potential dry to evolve in order for her to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament. At that moment, she suddenly understood. Compared to the Beast Tamer Tournament, she was more concerned about the Green-tailed Cat. Then, she wiped the tears from her face. ¡°Thank¡­ thank you.¡± After that, she walked off the arena and left the Starlux Gym without looking at Bart and the others. Giles said nothing more. Instead, he turned around and coldy scanned Bart and the others. ¡°Do you still want to challenge me?¡± Bart was furious. He had thought that it would be an easy challenge, but they had lost in the end. How can Giles be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer? He was clearly just a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer previously. Bart stared intently at the Swan Beast in the arena. No matter how he looked at that elegant and pure-white body, he felt awful. When he thought about how this spirit beast had defeated Annie, he felt indignant. ¡°I¡¯ll challenge you!¡± Bart¡¯s expression darkened as he stepped into the arena. Since Annie had lost, he would continue with the challenge. After all, he was a true Gold-rank Beast Tamer! Standing across from Giles, Bart summoned his spirit beast. Gold-rank Spiritual Beast: Savage Blood Lion. It was a majestic blood-red lion. The moment it appeared, it immediately let out a long howl. Everyone¡¯s ears hurt from the shock. ¡°Can you still win this time?¡± Bart bared his white teeth and taunted. When the other people below the arena saw this scene, they immediately spoke up. ¡°Bart¡¯s Savage Blood Lion has been in the Gold-rank for a long time, whereas Giles¡¯ Swan Beast has only just advanced to the Gold-rank. Bart will definitely win!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, not to mention that the Savage Blood Lion seems to have an innate skill.¡± ¡°Hah, I really envy Bart for having such an outstanding beast.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being envious? He has a good grandfather.¡± ¡­ ¡°If you can¡¯t win, just admit defeat.¡± At that moment, Bart was confident of victory, and he smiled mockingly at Giles. ¡°Oh, really?¡± ¡°Swan Beast,e back.¡± ¡°King Kong Beast, it¡¯s your turn now!¡± Giles ignored Bart. The next moment, the four-meter tall King Kong Beast appeared in the arena. It didn¡¯t restrain its aura. The immense aura Gold-rank spirit beast enveloped the entire arena. Instantly, everyone felt that their brains were not functioning. ¡°What? Another Gold-rank spirit beast?!¡± ¡°D*mn it, are all Gold-rank spirit beasts asmon as cabbages now?¡± ¡°It must have been left behind by Alice before she left. D*mn it, we¡¯ve hit a brick wall this time.¡± ¡­ In the arena, Bart¡¯s face was ashen as he stared at the enormous ck gori in front of him. He could clearly sense that this spirit beast¡¯s aura was even stronger than his spirit beast. However, when he thought about the innate skill of his spirit beast¡­ He heaved a sigh of relief. This was because his Savage Blood Lion could ignite its blood essence and greatly increase itsbat strength, including strength, speed, defense, and so on. As long as it did not encounter an Epic-rank spirit beast, it would be invincible. With this thought in mind, Bart gave the Savage Blood Lion an order. ¡°Savage Blood Lion, use your Bloodthirst skill!¡± The next moment. A thick blood mist seeped out from the Savage Blood Lion¡¯s body. Then, its body instantly erged, and its eyes were no longer clear. It became extremely ferocious, like an evil beast that had walked out from hell. At that moment, the Savage Blood Lion¡¯s battle strength was much stronger than before. However, this could onlyst for a minute. The moment time was up, the Savage Blood Lion would lose itsbat power. Bart had used this skill right from the start because he wanted to crush Giles¡¯ spirit beast and win! Therefore, he did not hesitate at all. ¡°Savage Blood Lion, continue to use your Blood Bind skill!¡± The next moment, a few streaks of blood flew out from the Savage Blood Lion and arrived above the King Kong Beast. The King Kong Beast was instantly entangled in it. Bart smiled. ¡°The battle is over!¡± ¡°Savage Blood Lion, use your Charge skill!¡± Bart felt that he could already see the light of victory. The people below the arena were also discussing fervently. ¡°Bart won as expected!¡± ¡°Other than Epic-rank spirit beasts, no spirit beast can fight against a Savage Blood Lion that has activated its innate talent!¡± ¡°Not to mention, Giles¡¯ spirit beast has already been controlled and can¡¯t avoid this attack. Bart will definitely win!¡± Giles sneered at these words. ¡°Hmph, you guys are celebrating too early.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that only your spirit beast has innate skills. My spirit beast has them too!¡± ¡°King Kong Beast, use your Giantize skill!¡± Following Giles¡¯ words, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body instantly erged. Five meters. Six meters. ¡­ Ten meters! This was the limit that the King Kong Beast could reach. At the same time, the King Kong Beast¡¯s overallbat strength was also increased. It was different from the Savage Blood Lion. There was no time limit to the King Kong Beast¡¯s transformation. At the same time, there were no side effects! Therefore, the oue of this battle was already decided! Just then, the blood threads binding the King Kong Beast had already been severed and disappeared. ¡°King Kong Beast, end the battle!¡± Gilesmanded. Facing the Savage Blood Lion¡¯s charge, the King Kong Beast was not bothered by it. It waved its hand and stopped the Savage Blood Lion. Then, it threw a punch. Followed by a loud boom! The Savage Blood Lion was sent flying to the protective barrier of the training ground andnded on the ground. The next moment, everyone looked at the protective barrier that kept shattering. Everyone gasped. Another instant kill! Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Terrifying Super Atomic Ray

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Silence! Dead silence! Everyone was stunned! Another instant kill! Staring at the ten-meter-tall King Kong Beast on the stage, the faces of Bart and the others turned extremely pale. No one had expected this oue. At this moment, the King Kong Beast was filled with explosive power and emitted an extremely dangerous aura. ¡°Is this really a Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°Is this a joke?! People would believe it even if you say that it¡¯s an Epic-rank beast.¡± ¡°Oh my god, the Starlux Gym actually has an Epic-ranked beast!¡± ¡­ . Hearing the sound of discussioning from the audience, Bart immediately snapped out of it. He looked at the terrifying beast in front of him. An abundance of fear filled his heart. One punch! Just one punch! Not only did it defeat the Savage Blood Lion, but it even cracked the protective barrier of the training ground! The protective barrier could withstand the attacks of Epic-ranked spirit beasts. One could imagine the power contained in that punch. Fear still lingered in Bart¡¯s heart till now and his heart was pounding incessantly. On the other hand, Giles winced at the crack in the protective barrier where the King Kong Beast hadnded its punch. He was as shocked as Bart because Giles knew very well that the King Kong Beast was only a Gold-rank spirit beast. However, it was a Gold-rank spirit beast that possessed strength that was not inferior to an Epic-rank spirit beast after unleashing its innate skill. This is defiance of the natural order! Fortunately, the protective barrier could be repaired automatically. Otherwise, Giles would have to pay someone to rece it. At the same time, Giles and Bart were not the only ones who saw this scene. There was still the Little Beetle. At that moment, it was inside the space within Giles¡¯ tattoo. If one obtained permission from their master, they could directly sense the outside world. Giles hadn¡¯t forbidden it. Therefore, the Little Beetle could see the entire process of the King Kong Beast defeating its opponent. It felt an endless sense of danger. The reason was because of the story Giles had told them previously. Therefore, it had always regarded King Kong as its imaginary enemy. Now that it suddenly realized that King Kong was so powerful, it felt that it could no longer take it easy. It wanted to continue evolving! With this thought in mind, it entered Godzi¡¯s world once again. Once again, it transformed into Godzi and fought King Kong. Once. Twice. ¡­ After some time, the little beetle felt a wave of fatigue in its mind and stopped. However, it knew that it had seeded! This was because the boundless light that was a sign of evolution instantly enveloped its entire body. In the outside world. Giles was just about to speak when he sensed this. Is the Little Beetle going to evolve again? Giles immediately let the Little Beetle out. A ball of light that was emitting boundless light appeared on the spot. When they saw this scene, Bart and the others began discussing spiritedly. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Does anyone know?¡± ¡°Oh my God, this is the evolution of a spirit beast!¡± ¡°Good lord, if anyone tells me that Giles doesn¡¯t have any beast-taming talent in the future, I¡¯ll be furious with them!¡± ¡­ Bart listened with mixed feelings. He had started learning about beast taming from a young age. By the time he reached the age of to be a beast tamer, he had contracted a Savage Blood Lion that had an innate skill. He had originally thought that he was already one of the elites among his age group. Unexpectedly, everything that happened today hadpletely shattered this fantasy of his. Turns out Grandpa was telling the truth. There is always someone better. Just then¡­ The Little Beetle evolved sessfully. It had evolved from Bronze to Silver rank. Its entire body wasrger than before, even though it was still very small. It was eager to test out how powerful it was now. Then, it began to condense all its energy. A beam of light condensed on the horn on its head. The next moment. Boom! A beam of hot light as thick as a human head shot out from the beetle¡¯s horn andnded on the protective barrier that had yet to be closed. Bang! Apanied by the sound of ss shattering, the protective barrier shattered! The beam of light broke through the sky and pierced into the clouds. After a while, it dissipated into the air. This scene¡­ Bart and the others saw it too. They no longer knew what to say. All of their eyes were unfocused as they shouted ¡®God¡¯ and other stuff. ¡°Do you still want to challenge me?¡± They instantly snapped out of it at the sound of Giles¡¯ voice. Then, they all shook their heads. ¡°Not challenging you anymore, not challenging you anymore!¡± Are you kidding?! Putting aside the two Gold-rank spirit beasts from before, they knew that none of them could defeat this newly-evolved spirit beast. Whoever wanted to give it a try should see what had happened to the protective barrier first. It was just one blow. It directly shattered the protective barrier. That was something that could withstand the attack of an Epic-rank beast. The crack that the King Kong Beast had made was enough to shock them. This one was even more terrifying! What rank was this spirit beast at? Legend-rank? Or a Mythic Beast? They would never challenge Starlux Gym again. This was the thought of everyone present. Including Bart. He had already conceded to Giles wholeheartedly. Before leaving, he walked over to Giles. ¡°Can I ask what rank that spirit beast was at?¡± Giles, who was having a headache over the protective barrier around the training ground, answered nonchntly, ¡°Oh, it just evolved to Silver rank.¡± Upon hearing this, Bart fell silent. He felt like Giles was insulting his intelligence. However, he did not ask further and left with his otherpanions. Giles was the only one left in Starlux Gym. He came to the protective barrier equipment on the training ground and red at the little beetle. ¡°Look at what you¡¯ve done!¡± ¡°Even the King Kong Beast didn¡¯t destroy it, how could you destroy it in one shot?¡± ¡°Looks like I have to spend money to reassemble it, you prodigal!¡± ¡­ On the other hand, Bart arrived at home dejectedly. The moment he entered, he heard someone cursing, ¡°My god, which bastard¡¯s spirit beast attacked me?¡± ¡°If I hadn¡¯t dodged quickly, I would have died!¡± Bart could tell it was his grandfather¡¯s voice. Grandpa is usually very friendly. What happened today? He asked curiously, ¡°Grandpa, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Bart¡¯s grandfather was Rex, a petite old man with snow-white hair and beard. The petite old man still had a frightened expression on his face. ¡°Don¡¯t bring it up. I was riding my spirit beast home today.¡± ¡°A ray of light from God-knows-where almost hit me.¡± ¡°If I hadn¡¯t dodged fast enough, you wouldn¡¯t be able to see this old man again.¡± Upon hearing these words, Bart suddenly thought of Giles¡¯ third spirit beast. That spirit beast seemed to have used the same skill that Grandpa described. He was silent for a while. ¡°Grandpa, I think I know where that light came from.¡± Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Gold-rank Beast Tamer Evaluation, Complete Victory!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the Starlux Gym. Giles was still having a headache over the protective barrier device on the training ground. He absolutely can¡¯t let Alice know about this, or else he will definitely be scolded. Right now, he could only think of ways to earn money to repair it. ¡°You really don¡¯t know how expensive it is because you¡¯re not in charge.¡± Giles sighed. In the past, he had never worried about money. After all, there was no need for him to worry about food and clothing in the gym.. Now that he suddenly had to think of a way to earn money, he was really at a loss. After thinking for a while, Giles decided to have his Beast Tamer rank reevaluated. Presently, he had already contracted two Gold-rank spirit beasts and was a genuine Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Gold-rank Beast Tamers could receive an allowance from the Beast Tamer Association every month. This was because in this world, Gold-rank Beast Tamers were the mid-tierbative force of Beast Tamers. Only when Beast Tamers attained this rank could they be considered powerful. It had to be known that currently, among the extremelyrge poption, ny percent of them were still stuck at the Silver rank and could not advance any further. In order to attract more people to be Gold-rank Beast Tamers, the Beast Tamer Association made such a rule. The sry was not low and was enough to cover the expenses of a family. Although it wasn¡¯t enough for Giles to rece the protective barrier in the gym, it was still money. He couldn¡¯t let it slip by. Thinking about these things, Giles immediately brought the three spirit beasts he contracted and rushed to the Beast Tamer Association in Yin City. Originally, the gym could also carry out the evaluation for Beast Tamers. However, Gym Leader Alice wasn¡¯t around at the moment. Giles couldn¡¯t possibly fight himself. A whileter, Giles arrived at the Beast Tamer Association. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to have my Beast Tamer rank evaluated.¡± Hearing this, the receptionist who was sleeping on the table woke up. ¡°Oh, Beast Tamer rank evaluation?¡± ¡°What rank?¡± ¡°Gold rank.¡± The receptionist sized him up. After all, a Gold-rank Beast Tamer was not bad. ¡°Okay, fill out this form and turn to your left. That will be the evaluation training ground.¡± Giles filled out the form, then went down the path she had pointed out. Behind him, the receptionist was stunned when she saw the name on the form. ¡°Giles?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t he only able to contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts? ¡°Since when could he contract a Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡­ Giles wasn¡¯t aware of the receptionist¡¯s confusion. He walked on, looking around at his surroundings. Thest time he came to the Beast Tamer Association, seemed to be when he had contracted a spirit beast for the first time. It was that one time that made the previous gym leader believe that he could only contract a Bronze-rank spirit beast. Just thinking about it made Giles angry. ¡°Old Gym Leader, you better note back, or else I will beat you up!¡± Just thinking about that indecent old man made Giles¡¯ liver hurt. If it weren¡¯t for the spirit beasts in the gym who had evolved after he told them stories and even willingly established a contract with him, Giles would still be kept in the dark till now. At the same time, on the other side. In a dense forest, a white-bearded old man sat on a tree branch and sneezed. ¡°Which b*stard is scolding me?¡± Then, he continued to stare at the spirit beast that was aze with mes. ¡­ Giles cursed the old gym leader in his heart. Then, he arrived at the evaluation training ground. At that moment, there were already four or five people who hadpleted their evaluation and were waiting for theirstpanion. They all looked over when they saw Giles approaching. After all, this was the ce where Gold-rank Beast Tamers would be evaluated. Except, when they saw it was Giles, they looked shocked. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Giles? What is he doing here? Is he going for the evaluation to be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°What? Giles, the Beast Tamer who can only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Maybe I¡¯m thinking too much. He¡¯s probably here for something else.¡± The few people discussing were also here for the evaluation to be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer today. The reason was that the fact that Giles could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts was a rare sight in the entire Beast Tamer world. Those who were also Beast Tamers had naturally heard of this matter. In addition, one of them had challenged Starlux Gym before and knew Giles. They were all shocked to see Giles here. However, they immediately reacted. None of them thought that Giles was here to be evaluated as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. However, the next moment, Giles spoke, ¡°I¡¯m here for the Gold-rank Beast Tamer evaluation. Is this the ce?¡± Hearing this, the others were stunned. ¡°Did I hear wrongly? He wants to be evaluated as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that he¡¯s Giles and can only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts?¡± ¡°It is Giles indeed. I didn¡¯t recognize the wrong person. He is Giles.¡± ¡°In that case, tell me, if he¡¯s Giles, why can he contract a Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°Ah, this¡­ If you ask me, who should I ask¡­¡± The staff member at the side was also a little surprised, but with his professionalism, he quickly snapped out of it. ¡°Yes, the Gold-rank Beast Tamer evaluation is held here.¡± After confirming that this was the ce, Giles ignored what the others were saying. After all, it was true that he could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts previously. Now that he could suddenly contract a Gold-rank spirit beast, it would naturally attract attention. Soon, it was Giles¡¯ turn. The group of people did not leave. Instead, they watched Giles curiously, wanting to know if he really contracted a Gold-rank spirit beast. On the other hand, Giles walked onto the arena. A Gold-rank Beast Tamer only needed to fight a peaked Gold-rank spirit beast once. He didn¡¯t need to win. He just needed to persist for a while. With this thought in mind, Giles summoned the Swan Beast. It was an elegant, snow-white swan. Its body was emitting an immense aura that only Gold-rank spirit beast possessed. When the people below the arena saw this scene, they were instantly dumbfounded. It¡¯s really a Gold-rank spirit beast. Right now, the only thought in their minds is that they¡¯re never listening to rumors again. In the arena. The assessor opposite him also summoned his spirit beast. Gold-rank spirit beast, Swift Shadow Wolf. The information of the spirit beast immediately surfaced in Giles¡¯ mind. It was good at concealment and was extremely fast. However, Giles wasn¡¯t worried. Because he hadmunicated with the Swan Beast. The Swan Beast had also awakened an innate skill. As he thought this, the battle began. The people below the arena were still watching the battle and discussing. ¡°How long do you think Giles willst?¡± ¡°Not more than a minute. After all, the assessor on the other side is very experienced.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I waited for a long time after my spirit beast advanced to the Gold-rank beforeing over to be evaluated. Even so, it onlysted for a minute.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Furthermore, it seems like Giles¡¯ spirit beast has just advanced to the Gold rank. It might be killed instantly by the opponent.¡± ¡­ In the arena. The assessor had alreadymanded the spirit beast to attack. ¡°Swift Shadow Wolf, use your ¡®Shadow Stealth¡¯ skill .¡± Immediately, wisps of ck mist appeared on the Swift Shadow Wolf¡¯s body. Then, it disappeared. When it appeared again, it would definitelyunch a fatal blow. Giles understood that, but he didn¡¯t panic. ¡°Swan Beast, use Wind Wings.¡± The Swan Beast quickly pped its wings and a strong gust of wind swept across the entire arena. The Swift Shadow Wolf, which had been using its Shadow Stealth skill, was immediately forced out. The assessor didn¡¯t panic. ¡°Swift Shadow Wolf, use your ¡®Bite¡¯ skill.¡± Seeing this, the audience knew that Giles was going to lose. ¡°The Swift Shadow Wolf is preparing to win with one strike. Giles is in danger.¡± ¡°That might not necessarily be the case. Giles can totally let the Swan Beast fly into the air and continue circling around.¡± ¡°Fly into the sky? Have you forgotten about the speed of the Swift Shadow Wolf? It¡¯ll probably get close to the Swan Beast before it can even fly up.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll bet with you on my monthly sry that Giles will definitely lose!¡± ¡­ In the arena. Looking at the threatening Swift Shadow Wolf, Giles remained calm. ¡°Swan Beast, use your innate skill!¡± In an instant, a white glow emanated from the Swan Beast¡¯s body. The next moment, the light dissipated. A four-winged Swan Beast appeared before everyone! Innate Skill: Wings Transformation! After unleashing the skill, it would grow new wings and double itsbat strength. Once this skill was utilised, victory and defeat were determined. ¡°Swan Beast, continue using Wind Wings!¡± The Four-Winged Swan Beast used this skill again, and a gale even stronger than before swept across the entire space. As the enemy, the Swift Shadow Wolf was also directly dragged into the center of this storm. Following a miserable cry, the Swift Shadow Wolf was struck by the wind andpletely lost its ability to fight. When the people below the arena saw this scene, they were instantly shocked. ¡°Unbelievable, Giles actually won!¡± ¡°And it was an instant kill. Oh my god, his swan beast is too terrifying. Its innate skill is so terrifying.¡± ¡°God, I onlysted for a minute after using all my might. He actually defeated his opponent directly.¡± ¡°Who was the one who wanted to bet a month¡¯s sry on Giles losing? Hurry up and step forward.¡± ¡­ After winning this battle, Giles had undoubtedly obtained the status of a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. He ignored the shocked crowd. Giles arrived at the front desk with the certificate provided by the assessor. Then, under the shocked gaze of the receptionist, he took the badge that belonged exclusively to Gold-rank Beast Tamers. Then, with his badge, he collected the allowance for the month. Looking at the additional numbers in his card, Giles smiled in relief. He had earned his first bucket of gold. Chapter 14

Chapter 14: Mission: Hunting an Epic-rank Beast!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Back in the Starlux Gym. Giles sat at theputer desk and opened the website exclusive to Beast Tamers. He had never opened this website before. This was amunication tform set up by the Beast Tamer Association. Here, Beast Tamers could exchange information about their usual beast taming experience and information about various spirit beasts. They could also issue missions for other Beast Tamers toplete. Giles hade for these tasks. If these spirit beasts hadn¡¯t evolved, the resources left behind in the gym couldpletely satisfy their daily needs. . However, some of the spirit beasts had begun to evolve after Giles told them stories. After evolving, the spirit beasts¡¯ appetites were naturallyrger than before. In a few days, they would eat Giles broke. Hence, Giles had to find a way to make money. This was also the reason why he went for the Gold-rank Beast Tamer evaluation. After bing a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, he would receive a monthly allowance. Aside from that, Gold-rank Beast Tamers could see more missions. The reason for that was that in this website, the missions that Beast Tamers of every rank saw were limited. Only after reaching a certain level would they have the authority to unlock it. This was to prevent some Beast Tamers from receiving missions that exceeded their abilities and ultimately encountering danger, thereby losing their lives in vain. With these thoughts in mind, Giles opened the missions that Gold-rank Beast Tamers could ept and checked them out. A momentter¡­ A mission caught his attention. [Recruiting Gold-rank Beast Tamer, heading out of the city to hunt ferocious beasts.] This mission tempted Giles. Hunting ferocious beasts outside the city was the daily routine of many Beast Tamers. Hundreds of years ago, ferocious beasts appeared and attacked humans. In the end, it was because of the appearance of Beast Tamers that stopped the destruction of mankind. However, they did notpletely exterminate the ferocious beasts. They merely chased them back into the forest. Until now, humans and ferocious beasts had be mortal enemies. From time to time, ferocious beasts would attack human society. For example, Yin City had been attacked by ferocious beastsst year. If not for the numerous Beast Tamers in the city stopping them, Yin City might have been destroyed. Therefore, for the sake of Yin City¡¯s safety, Beast Tamers would head out of the city to hunt ferocious beasts. On the other hand, this was also a way to earn money. The entire body of a ferocious beast was filled with treasures. Its leather armor could be used as a protective suit, its bones could be used as a weapon, and its blood could be used as medicine. It was because of this that human society could develop rapidly. There were even tournaments like the Beast Tamer Tournament. By bing the champion of the Beast Tamer Tournament, not only would that person gain reputation, but they would also obtain many resources for nurturing spirit beasts. No matter how trashy a spirit beast was, with these resources, it could at least grow into a Legend-rank spirit beast. This was also to motivate humans to produce stronger Beast Tamers. With these thoughts in mind, Giles contacted the person who posted the mission and expressed his desire to join the team. After waiting for a while, a message came from the other side, saying that they wanted to have a chat in person. This was exactly what Giles wanted. After all, the outside of the city was filled with danger, so Giles also wanted to understand the overall strength of this team. Soon, the other party sent him a location. It was a cafe that was not far from the Starlux Gym. Giles immediately rushed over. When he reached the ce, Giles was surprised to find an acquaintance. It was Bart, who hade to the gym to challenge him previously. ¡°Grandpa, this is the Giles whom I told you about.¡± Stunned when he saw Giles, Bart then spoke to an old man with a white beard. Giles followed Bart over to the old man. He was surprised to see that it was Rex, an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. When the ferocious beasts attackedst year, Rex had killed many of the beasts with his Epic-rank Fiery Bird and became a hero among the people. Furthermore, he was usually kind and friendly, and was also a senior that many Beast Tamers respected. Except that Giles hadn¡¯t expected him to be Bart¡¯s grandfather. However, he did not take it to heart. Giles immediately walked up and greeted Rex, ¡°Hello, Mr Rex.¡± Rex was sizing Giles up, and he smiled when he heard that. ¡°Hello, I¡¯ve heard about you from Bart.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not simple. You¡¯re already a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now.¡± ¡°That old fart actually told us that you didn¡¯t have any talent for taming beasts and lied to us for so long.¡± Giles smiled at that, knowing what he meant. The old fart that Rex referred to was the previous gym leader of the Starlux Gym. Rex thought the previous gym leader had deliberately hid Giles¡¯ talent. However, only Giles knew that this was all because the previous gym leader was unreliable. Yet, he couldn¡¯t exin it to Rex. ¡°Thank you for your praise, but I still have other matters to attend to. I¡¯ll head over first.¡± Stroking his snowy beard, Rex nodded. Then, Giles walked to a table at the side and sat down. He sent a message to the person who posted the mission, informing him that he had arrived. Just then, Rex took out hismunicator and took a look. When he saw the message on it, he paused momentarily. Then, he smiled. Then, he walked straight to Giles¡¯ table and sat down. ¡°Hello, Mr Giles. I¡¯m the person who posted this mission.¡± Although the Beast Tamer tform was registered under a real name system, unless they were very familiar with each other, they would not know the other party¡¯s identity. Now that he suddenly found out that the person who posted the mission was Epic-rank Beast Tamer Rex, Giles was shocked. ¡°I was thinking of going to Starlux Giles to invite Mr Giles to join my team, but I didn¡¯t expect you toe here yourself. This is really fate.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles immediately became alert. An Epic-rank Beast Tamer actually wanted to invite him, a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Why? However, Rex soon offered him an exnation. ¡°Does Mr Giles know what I encountered not long ago?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°At that time, I was riding on Fiery Bird and flying in the sky when a ray of light suddenly rushed towards me.¡± ¡°Even from far away, I could feel the terrifying energy emanating from it.¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t because I dodged quickly, this old man wouldn¡¯t exist in this world anymore.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles frowned. Why does this feel so familiar? Then, Rex looked at Giles and said, ¡°At first, I thought that some unknown beast had attacked me. When I got home, Bart told me that it was your spirit beast.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say. In his heart, he had already cursed Little Beetle dozens of times. He could forget about it shattering the protective barrier of the training ground. Good lord, it nearly knocked down an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Fortunately, it didn¡¯t seed. Otherwise, there would be a report in the City Daily newspaper tomorrow. Epic-rank Beast Tamer Rex was shot down by a mysterious beast in the air¡­ At the thought of this, Giles did not dare to continue that train of thought. ¡°Of course, you don¡¯t have to take it to heart, My Giles. I¡¯m not here to me you.¡± Rex suddenly became serious. ¡°Mr Giles, is the spirit beast thatunched the attack really your contracted spirit beast?¡± Confused, Giles nodded. ¡°Yes, it is indeed my contracted spirit beast.¡± Hearing that, Rex looked relieved and told Giles about the mission. A momentter¡­ Giles shot up from his chair. ¡°What?! You want to hunt an Epic-ranked spirit beast?!¡± Chapter 15

Chapter 15: The Story of Cerberus, The Desperate Green-furred Dog

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the cafe. Giles stared at Rex in shock. He did not expect Rex to be so bold as to hunt Epic-rank beasts. One had to understand that the wild ferocious beasts had been living in a harsh environment since they were young. They followed thew of survival of the fittest. This resulted in every ferocious beast that grew up to be extremely terrifying. Not to mention that they were now talking about an Epic-rank ferocious beast. It was impossible for Rex, an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, to do it alone. . When the beasts attacked Yin Cityst year, an Epic-ranked beast hade as well. In the end, Alice and Rex had to work together to kill it. Now, Rex would be the only Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Together with the other Gold-rank Beast Tamers, they were going to challenge an Epic-rank beast in the wild. This wasn¡¯t fighting with his life on the line, but rather throwing his life away! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr Rex. I refuse to participate in this operation.¡± Giles felt that he was still very young and had not thought of going into the wilderness to die. ¡°Also, I think Mr. Rex should consider carefully how terrifying an Epic-rank ferocious beast is. I think you know that better than me. Rex seemed to have expected this reaction from Giles. He smiled and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave yet, Mr Giles. I¡¯m not finished.¡± ¡°When I¡¯m done, you can consider participating in this operation.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles paused and sat back down in his chair, curious about what Rex was about to say. ¡°We aren¡¯t actually killing an Epic-rank ferocious beast.¡± When he heard this, Giles heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Strictly speaking, the target of this operation is an Epic-rank ferocious beast that is about to break through to the Legend rank.¡± Giles felt his skin crawl. Then, he looked solemnly at Rex and said, ¡°Mr Rex, I suddenly remembered that there are some things that I need to deal with in the gym. I won¡¯t be participating in this operation.¡± Infuriated by Giles, Rex ced a hand on Giles¡¯ shoulder and said, ¡°Young man, can¡¯t you wait for me to finish?¡± ¡°I may be old, but I haven¡¯t lived long enough.¡± Giles sat down helplessly. ¡°Old man, can¡¯t you finish telling the whole story in one breath?¡± ¡°It¡¯s scary to keep getting shocked.¡± A momentter¡­ Rex finally finished. It turned out that the target of this operation was an Epic-ranked beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank. However, the beast had already fallen into a deep slumber. When it woke up again, it would evolve into a Legend-rank beast. One had to know that humans and ferocious beasts had already be mortal enemies. Now that he suddenly learned of an Epic-rank beast that had fallen into a deep slumber, Rex was naturally very worried. When this beast evolved into a Legend-rank beast, it would definitely attack human society. After careful consideration, Rex decided to strike first. Taking advantage of the beast¡¯s dormant evolution, he would kill it! However, the only thing that gave him a headache was that the beast¡¯s body was covered in an extremely hard protective shell during its slumber. Rex had tried using his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, but it was impossible to break through this barrier. In other words, this barrier was enough to withstand the attack of an Epic-rank beast. Just as Rex was having a headache over this, he learned that Giles¡¯ spirit beast had broken the protective barrier of the training ground. He was instantly shocked. However, Rex then realized that this was a chance. Since it was able to break through the protective barrier, it should be able to break through the ferocious beast¡¯s protective shell. Then, there was Giles. He was lost in thought after hearing all that. To get him to agree, Rex continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we still have another Epic-rank Beast Tamer participating in this operation. Even if we don¡¯t seed, safety won¡¯t be an issue.¡± ¡°Also, I can pay you in advance for this mission.¡± ¡°Furthermore, if you are to seed, you will also have a share of that ferocious beast.¡± Hearing Rex¡¯s words, Giles admitted that he was tempted. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll participate in this operation.¡± ¡°When do we leave?¡± Rex grinned when he heard Giles agree. ¡°We¡¯ll set off tomorrow morning and assemble at the city gate.¡± After discussing some other details, Giles returned to Starlux Gym. He had just returned to the gym, when the group of spirit beast cubs went straight to Giles¡¯ side and blinked theirrge watery eyes at him. Giles looked at them helplessly. ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll tell you a story now.¡± ¡°If not to help you guys evolve, why would I have to work so hard?¡± The cubs didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant. They sat in a row on the ground and tilted their heads while looking at Giles. ¡°What story should I tell you?¡± ¡°Let me think.¡± A series of stories flitted through Giles¡¯ mind as his gaze swept over the spirit beasts. Then, his gaze fell on the Green-furred Dog. The story in his heart also froze there. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you this story.¡± Giles gazed at the blue sky as his ethereal voice drifted into the ears of the spirit beasts. ¡°The main character of our story this time is a dog with three heads.¡± ¡°Its name is Cerberus.¡± ¡­ Among the spirit beasts, the Green-furred Dog pricked up its ears and listened intently as Giles¡¯ story began. ¡°It grew up in the dark and evil Underworld.¡± ¡°It has three heads, and was also known as the Three-Headed Hound of Hades.¡± ¡°Ever since it was born, it has been guarding the door to the Underworld.¡± ¡°It is the emissary that guides souls, and also the gatekeeper that prevents the dead from escaping from the Underworld.¡± ¡­ At this moment, the Green-furred dog suddenly cked out and lost consciousness. When it woke up, it realized that everything before his eyes was pitch ck. The Green-furred Dog¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. Where is this? The next moment, it seemed to have thought of something. It turned its head abruptly and was shocked to discover that it was a stone door that was as high as the sky. This is the Underworld! Now, it has be the guardian of the Underworld¡ªCerberus! It arrived in front of the Underworld River. In the pitch-ck water, it saw its own reflection. It was a dog with three heads and a snake as its tail. Giles is actually this powerful. It actually allowed my soul to descend into this world and be this powerful Cerberus. I can¡¯t let him down. So what if I look like this now? I want to evolve into this in the real world too! Standing at the edge of the Underworld River, it raised its head and let out a long howl. Thus, it became the gatekeeper of the Underworld and was responsible for receiving the souls from the world of the living. During other times, it would also absorb the discarnate souls in the Underworld River to strengthen itself. It had thought that such days would continue forever. Until this day. In reality, Giles¡¯ story continued. ¡°Cerberus has always guarded the gates of the Underworld.¡± ¡°Until this day, it met Hercules, the God with incredible strength.¡± ¡°Donned in his breastte and lion skin, Hercules came to Hell to bring Cerberus back to the world of the living.¡± ¡°Cerberus fought him, but it was no match for him. It was subdued by Hercules and brought back to the world of the living.¡± ¡­ In the story world. The Green-furred dog that had transformed into Cerberus saw Hercules. It raised its three heads and looked arrogantly at the enemy in front of it. Its battle with Hercules was about to begin. However, it was defeated. Utterly defeated! Finally, like a stray dog, it was dragged back to the world of the living by Hercules. It raged, roared, and struggled¡­ However, it was all in vain. At that moment, the Green-furred Dog was filled with despair. Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Green-furred Dog Evolution, Set Off!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the Starlux Gym. Green-furred Dogy on the ground with its eyes closed, its soul still lost in the world of stories. No one knew how desperate it was right now. The high and mighty emissary of the Underworld had actually been defeated. It seemed to have lost sight of its goal and could no longer see its future. Ity at the feet of Hercules, its eyes unfocused. Just then, the entire world suddenly began to change. The next moment, it realized that it had returned to the beginning of the story.. So I have a chance to start over? At the thought of this, Green-furred Dog¡¯s gaze became determined. Since there¡¯s a chance to start all over again, I¡¯m going to change the ending! I want to be stronger! I want to defeat Hercules! I want to wipe off the humiliation I suffered! It began to unconsciously devour the dead souls of the Underworld. It could feel its strength increasing. It felt that it had the strength to fight Hercules! Finally, it managed to wait for that figure to arrive! Come and fight! I will use your Godly blood to wash away my humiliation! However¡­ It lost. It was defeated by Hercules again. It was indignant. It was unconvinced. It wanted to continue challenging him! After some time, the Green-furred Dog that had transformed into Cerberus had fought Hercules countless times. As if destined, it never won at all. Every time, it was humiliated and brought back to the world of the living by Hercules. It did not give up. One failure after another had made its heart indestructible. There was only one goal in its heart. That was to defeat Hercules! However¡­ After it failed once again, its soul left the story world and returned to its body in reality. Its eyes were tightly shut, but there was already a trace of blood trickling out from the corner of its eyes. It was extremely exhausted. However, it stared fixedly at the ck figure in its mind. It was the figure of Cerberus. It was furious. Why? Why?! Why can¡¯t I defeat Hercules?! Under its infinite rage, the Green-furred Dog¡¯s soul once again entered the Underworld in the story. It began to challenge Hercules again. This time, it did not make demand on its own strength. It began to draw support from external forces. It was an emissary from the Netherworld. Its body contained a terrifying Soul Poison! This poison originated from the souls, and no one could stop it! Finally, it faced off Hercules once again. It seeded! Hercules was poisoned and fell to the ground, losing all his strength. Even Gods were unable to withstand the Soul Poison. In front of the gate of the Underworld, by the Underworld River. Cerberus, who had three heads, decapitated Hercules! At the same time, in the real world, the endless light representing evolution enveloped the Green-furred Dog. A momentter¡­ Howl! Apanied by a roar, a three-headed dog that was covered in ck mes appeared on the spot. The Envoy of the Underworld, the Three-Headed Hellhound had returned to the human world! ¡­ The next day. Giles looked at the three-headed hellhound beside him and sighed. The burden on him had increased again. Yesterday, after the Green-furred Dogheard the story, it was as Giles had expected. It had directly evolved into a Gold-rank Three-Headed Hellhound. Other than that, it had even awakened a skill. Soul Poison. This was a poison that even an Epic-rank beast could not withstand! With this, Giles had more confidence in this operation. With that in mind, Giles hurried towards the city gate. At the same time, at the city gate. Rex and the others were standing at the gate, waiting for Giles. ¡°Rex, who are we waiting for? Is it another Epic-rank Beast Tamer? But Alice has left, and there are no other Epic-rank Beast Tamers in the city,¡± a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his face said to Rex impatiently. Rex nced at him and said calmly, ¡°He¡¯s not an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. You¡¯ll know when hees.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s name was Richard. He was another Epic-rank Beast Tamer in the team, but he was too impulsive. Initially, Rex did not want to invite him to join the operation, but he was the only Epic-rank Beast Tamer left in Yin City. In order to ensure the safety of this operation, Rex could only invite him to participate in it. ¡°Rex, it¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but with us two Epic-rank Beast Tamers around, why would we need these Gold-rank kids?¡± Richard pursed his lips in disdain as he looked at the two Gold-rank Beast Tamers. It was a man and a woman. The man was Bart, Rex¡¯s grandson. The other was a blonde girl named Elena, who was also a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Bart was furious when he heard Richard¡¯s words. He wanted to say something but decided not to. He turned his head away and looked at the scenery. The girl named Elena chuckled, seemingly unconcerned. Rex smiled and said, ¡°Young man, it¡¯s good to gain more experience.¡± Richard didn¡¯t say anything else. They waited a while more. Just as Richard was getting impatient, Giles arrived. ¡°Sorry, I think I¡¯mte.¡± Giles scanned the room, then focused his gaze on Richard. This was the other Epic-rank Beast Tamer in the team. Giles thought for a moment about who he was. Think his name is Richard. He¡¯s a narrow-minded fellow. He¡¯s had a grudge with the old gym leader before.¡¯ Giles instantly became on guard. He didn¡¯t expect it to be this guy. However, he was not too worried. Nothing should happen with Rex around. Furthermore, although he is only a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, the spirit beasts he contracted were not ordinary spirit beasts. They were enough to fight against Epic-rank spirit beasts. With that thought in mind, Giles nced at the others. He saw Bart. He hadn¡¯t expected Rex to bring him along. Then, his gazended on the girl. He had never seen her before. Just then, a discordant voice sounded, ¡°Rex, you were waiting for this kid?¡± ¡°I heard that he¡¯s a Bronze-ank Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°Are you sure he¡¯s not throwing away his life by participating in this operation?¡± As the arch-enemy of the old gym leader, Richard naturally knew Giles. Seeing that Giles was also a member of this operation, he immediately mocked him. Rex immediately walked over to Giles when he heard that. ¡°Don¡¯t look at the present the way you used to, Richard.¡± ¡°Giles is now a true-blue Gold-rank Beast Tamer.¡± Richard pursed his lips in disdain. ¡°So what if he¡¯s a Gold-rank Beast Tamer? In front of an Epic-rank beast, he¡¯s just an ant.¡± With that, Richard summoned his Epic-rank beast, the Blood-Winged Bat. The moment it came out, it pped his wings and a gust of wind appeared. Bart was caught off guard and fell. He red at Richard. Giles and the girl remained where they were, as if unaffected. Richard snorted coldly and jumped onto the Blood-Winged Bat¡¯s back. Rex sighed and said nothing. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Grant Forest

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions With Rex¡¯s words, everyone summoned their flying spirit beasts. Bart didn¡¯t have a flying spirit beast, so he was sitting on the back of the Epic-rank Fiery Bird with his grandfather Rex. The girl didn¡¯t summon her spirit beast either. Instead, she strode over to Giles with her long legs. The girl looked to be in her twenties. She was dressed in a casual outfit and looked neat and tidy. Coupled with her outstanding and stylish figure and the unique aura she naturally exuded, she was especially eye-catching. Giles frowned as the girl approached. ¡°Are you Giles?¡± . ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get to know each other. I¡¯m Annie¡¯s elder sister, Alina.¡± Alina blinked her eyes at him. ¡°Alina? Annie?¡± Giles suddenly understood. So she was the elder sister of the youngdy from yesterday. ¡°Annie came home yesterday and cried for a long time. She told me you were the one who made her like that.¡± Giles shook his head at that. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. This is all her own problem. It has nothing to do with me.¡± Needless to say, Giles would not ept being made the scapegoat and immediately exined. Alina rolled her eyes at him. ¡°I¡¯m not looking for trouble. I¡¯m just curious about what you said to Annie.¡± ¡°You can ask your younger sister.¡± Giles looked exasperated. With that, he summoned his Swan Beast and jumped on it. On the other hand, Richard was stunned for a moment when he saw Giles summon a Gold-rank spirit beast. Then, he sized Giles up thoughtfully. Alina looked at Giles with her beautiful eyes and smiled. Then, she summoned her own spirit beast. It was a White Crane. She then rode the White Crane and followed behind Giles. ¡­ Sitting on the back of the Swan Beast, Giles looked at the passing scenery on the ground and felt a sense of peace. On the other hand, Elena rode her White Crane and approached Giles. ¡°I heard that you used to be a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer?¡± Giles nced at her. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Alina blinked and pressed on. ¡°Then why did you suddenly be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer? I heard people say that you can only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts. Are those people lying?¡± ¡°They¡¯re telling the truth.¡± ¡°Then how did you suddenly be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer?¡± At that, Giles looked ahead. Then, he turned his head and smiled at Alina. ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Just as Elena was about to ask again, Rex, who was in front, began to descend. Giles saw that they were already near the forest in front of them and understood that they could no longer use their flying spirit beasts to travel. The reason was that there were many savage ferocious beasts in the wild and most of these ferocious beasts had violent temperaments. If they came across any humans, they would attack. The reason why they had rode on the flying spirit beasts previously was because most of the areas outside the city had been cleared by Beast Tamers. Right now, they were already near the forest. No one knew how many terrifying existences were inside. If they were to continue riding on their flying spirit beasts, they might be attacked by ferocious beasts. Soon, everyonended safely. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s take a break. We¡¯ll move off in an hour.¡± Giles put away the Swan Beast and stepped on the ground. Immediately, he felt a strong sense of stability as if he had returned from the ocean to the maind. He sized up the forest in front of him. Its name was Grant Forest. This was named after a Beast Tamer. Many years ago, it was precisely this forest that numerous ferocious beasts had surged from and attacked Yin City on arge scale. During this process, a Beast Tamer named Grant revealed his talent. He rose quickly and contracted a Legend-rank spirit beast. Then, he fought off all the ferocious beasts that were attacking Yin City and protected the entire city. Afterwards, he charged straight into the forest and killed several high-rank ferocious beasts. As a result, no ferocious beasts attacked Yin City for many years after. In order tomemorate him, the people of Yin City named this forest after him. ¡°Grant Forest. I¡¯ve only read about it in books before. This is my first time here.¡± Beside him, Alina stared at the huge forest before her, before turning to Giles and saying this. ¡°It¡¯s my first time here, too. I hope this operation goes smoothly.¡± Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. Who knew how many ferocious beasts existed in such arge forest? On the other hand, Alina smiled. ¡°What are you worried about with two Epic-rank Beast Tamers around?¡± Giles nced at her. Then, he focused on therge forest in front of them. ¡°Think about what our goal is this time.¡± ¡°With an Epic-rank beast that is about to break through, how can it be that easy to seed?¡± ¡°By the way, why did a Gold-rank Beast Tamer like you participate in this operation?¡± Giles suddenly realized. Bart hade along with his grandfather Rex, and Rex had invited him. So why did this girl named Alina participate in this mission? Alina didn¡¯t answer right away. Instead, she asked Giles a question, ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same? Why are you here?¡± Giles pointed to Rex, who was standing nearby. ¡°I was invited by Rex.¡± ¡°Why did he invite you?¡± Alina looked at Giles curiously. ¡°You must have some special ability, or rather, your spirit beast has some special ability. That¡¯s why he, an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, invited you.¡± ¡°So what is it?¡± Giles started for a moment. Then, heughed. He had not expected this girl to be right. However, he was not prepared to tell her as this was one of his trump cards. The fewer the people who knew, the better. ¡°It¡¯s a secret,¡± Giles said, then nced over his shoulder at the girl. ¡°I was the one asking you. How did it be the other way round?¡± ¡°So what¡¯s your reason?¡± Alina rolled her eyes at him. ¡°This is also a secret.¡± Since she didn¡¯t want to tell him, Giles didn¡¯t probe further. When the time came, he would naturally know the reason. Just then, Rex came over and told Giles that they were leaving. A whileter, all of them stood in front of Grant Forest. They summoned their respective spirit beasts. Rex did not summon the Fiery Bird this time. Instead, he summoned another Epic-ranked beast, the Earth Barbaric Bear. Richard summoned another Epic-ranked beast, the Lava Python. Bart summoned the Savage Blood Lion. Alina summoned a Gold-rank Four-eyed Spirit Cat. As for Giles, he directly summoned the King Kong Beast. Rex entered the forest first, followed by the others. Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Crisis! Encountering an Epic-rank ferocious beast!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions There was silence in Grant Forest. ¡°We are still some distance away from our target. Everyone, be careful.¡± Rex reminded them. With his King Kong Beast in tow, Giles remained extremely alert. This was because in this forest filled with ferocious beasts, anything could happen. As she walked beside Giles, Alina scanned the surroundings with her beautiful eyes. Just then¡­ Bart suddenly said, ¡°There seems to be a stalk of Blue Fruit Grass over there..¡± Upon hearing this, everyone turned in the direction that Bart had indicated. It was a grass with a blue fruit growing on its tip. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the Blue Fruit Grass.¡± ¡°It¡¯s suitable for ice-type spirit beasts to consume. It can greatly improve the physique of spirit beasts and is very expensive on the market.¡± ¡°No wonder it¡¯s Grant Forest. We obtained such a reward after we¡¯ve just entered.¡± Rex stroked his snowy beard and said, ¡°But you have to be careful. There might be other ferocious beasts roaming about. Many ice-type ferocious beasts like to eat this type of grass.¡± Just as Rex finished speaking, a blue beast leapt out of the grass. It was a spirit beast that looked like a rabbit that looked like it was only at Silver-rank. It was currently baring its teeth at all of them. Bart didn¡¯t care. He grinned and let the Savage Blood Lion use its skill to kill the spirit beast. Then, he walked over to pick the Blue Fruit Grass and put it into his backpack. All of them continued forward. Gradually, everyone picked up some valuable spirit herbs from time to time. Even Giles harvested two red fruits, which humans could eat. Consuming it over a long period of time could strengthen one¡¯s physique. It wasn¡¯t cheap either. ¡°I found another Green Snake Grass.¡± ¡°No, this area is full of them!¡± Giles was looking around when Bart suddenly pointed ahead excitedly, catching everyone¡¯s attention. They followed Bart and saw the herb that looked like a green snake. Green Snake Grass was the favorite herb of snake-type spirit beasts. It was also extremely valuable. Not to mention the entire area in front of them was filled with it. Bart was about to go up and pluck them when Richard stopped him and turned to Rex. ¡°Give me this plot of Green Snake Grass. My Epic-rank beast, Lava Python, needs them.¡± At the same time, the Lava Python beside him was also exuding the aura of an Epic-rank beast. Rex frowned and stared at Richard. ¡°Richard, aren¡¯t you ashamed to snatch stuff from a junior?¡± Richard¡¯s expression froze. Then, with a wave of his hand, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll give each of you somepensation, alright?¡± Then, he prepared to let the Lava Python consume the Green Snake Grass. Seeing this, Rex had the Earth Barbaric Bear block the path of the Lava Python. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about what thepensation is first.¡± Richard looked annoyed. ¡°The cores of ten Gold-rank ferocious beasts per person should be enough, right?¡± Rex nodded and got the Earth Barbaric Bear to move aside. The inner cores of ten Gold-rank ferocious beasts per person wereparable to therge patch of Green Snake Grass in front of them. Richard snorted and let the Lava Python eat the Green Snake Grass. Everyone waited as well. Just then¡­ Giles felt a faint vibration. He quickly scanned his surroundings. The next moment, he immediately shouted, ¡°Watch out, a group of snake-like ferocious beasts are rushing over here!¡± Richard looked at Giles unhappily. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a group of ferocious beasts? What¡¯s there to be afraid of? With us two Epic-rank Beast Tamers around¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, the ground began to shake violently. Then, the ground in front cracked. Two giant pythons emerged from inside. Rex¡¯s face changed drastically. ¡°Epic-rank spirit beasts!¡± ¡°And there are two of them!¡± Richard¡¯s expression changed drastically as well. ¡°What the hell? There would be snake-like ferocious beasts gathered near the Green Snake Grass, but why are there Epic-rank ferocious beasts!?¡± Just as he and Rex were ready for battle, another Epic-rank python emerged from the ground. The third Epic-rank beast! However, this was not the end. The fourth Epic-rank beast appeared! At the same time, numerous snake-type ferocious beasts rushed over from the surroundings, and amongst them were Bronze, Silver, and Gold ranks. Ferocious beasts of various ranks were densely packed together, and rapidly surrounded all of them. Seeing this, Rex and Richard¡¯s expressions changed drastically, and they gave up on fighting. ¡°Quickly split up and run!¡± Richard roared. Then, he jumped onto the Lava Python and escaped. Rex could not be bothered about Richard. He got the Earth Barbaric Bear to grab Bart, and just when he was about to go and save Giles and Alina, Rex realized that the two of them had been surrounded by the four Epic-rank pythons. Seeing this, Rex knew that it was impossible to save them. Even if the Silver-rank spirit beast that Giles contracted could release attacks that far exceeded the Epic rank, there were four Epic-rank beasts here. The moment he attacked, Giles would be killed by the other ferocious beasts. Hence, despite his regret that he could not save Giles, Rex still led Bart out of the snake swarm and escaped. Although the probability of sess would be lower without Giles, his life was more important. On the other hand, Giles looked at the Epic-rank pythons that had surrounded him and did not panic. Beside him, Alina did not panic as well. She scanned the area, then smiled at Giles. ¡°We¡¯re about to die. Is there anything you want to say?¡± Giles shook his head. ¡°Is there nothing you want to say?¡± Alina looked at Giles curiously. ¡°No, I meant that we¡¯re not going to die.¡± Giles¡¯ affirmative answer stunned Alina. ¡°King Kong Beast, use your Giantize skill!¡± The next moment, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body shot up to ten meters tall. On top of that, its fighting prowess was also enhanced. ¡°King Kong Beast, get rid of these ferocious beasts!¡± Following Giles¡¯mand, the King Kong Beast strode forward and faced-off the four Epic-rank beasts. After using the innate Giantize skill, its strength had far exceeded the Epic rank. It was just short of reaching the Legend rank. It was more than enough to deal with these ferocious beasts! The King Kong Beast hammered its chest and roared. Then, it charged towards the Epic-ranked beasts. Although it was its first time facing an Epic-rank beast, it was not afraid at all. This was because in the fictional world of King Kong, the mutated beasts it had fought were far more powerful than these ferocious beasts! A momentter¡­ The King Kong Beast ripped thest Epic-rank beast in half. Its body was covered in blood. With a furious roar, the other snake-like beasts in the surroundings immediately fled the area like stray dogs. Crisis averted. Giles looked at Alina. ¡°See, I told you we wouldn¡¯t die.¡± Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Moonlit Night, Alina¡¯s Secret

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In Grant Forest. The King Kong Beast hammered its chest and let out a roar. Immediately, an invisible shockwave that seemed extremely powerful spread out, with it at the center. ¡°It actually killed four Epic-rank beasts at one go.¡± Looking at everything before her, Alina¡¯s eyes widened in shock. It was a Gold-rank spirit beast that did all of this. No one would believe it if word got out, but it had indeed happened. This made Alina even more curious about Giles. . ¡°Indeed, one has to rely on oneself for everything.¡± Giles sighed, then turned to look at Alina. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± ¡°Quicklye and deal with the corpses of these ferocious beasts. These Epic-rank beasts have good stuff on them.¡± After instructing the King Kong Beast to pay attention to its surroundings, Giles took out a knife from his spatial wristband to cut the pythons¡¯ scales. Aside from the snake galldder and the beast¡¯s core, the scales and bones of such Epic-rank pythons were the most valuable. The bones were too troublesome to get. Giles could only do his best to cut off some of the scales before taking out the pythons¡¯ galldders and the beasts¡¯ cores. Seeing this, Alina joined in and began to deal with the ferocious beasts. A momentter¡­ Alina handed the cores of two Epic-rank beasts to Giles. Giles didn¡¯t take them. ¡°Everyone gets a share. You can keep it.¡± After saying this, Giles went to cut some python meat. This was the food he was preparing to give his spirit beasts. The meat of ferocious beasts was also a type of resource. If humans and spirit beasts ate it for a prolonged period of time, it could strengthen their bodies. However, Giles¡¯ spatial wristband only had two cubic meters of space, so it could not contain much. On the other hand, Alina saw that Giles had actually given her two Epic-rank beast cores. She looked at Giles, her eyes glowing with wonder. This was because the core of an Epic-rank beast was very valuable on the market. One could imagine how high the price would be given that a Gold-rank spirit beast could evolve faster after swallowing it. Even so, Giles had given it straight to her. Alina looked at the King Kong Beast and smiled. She understood that only someone as strong as Giles would do that. After all, he had a spirit beast that could defeat Epic-rank beasts. It¡¯s easy to obtain as many cores of Epic-rank beasts as I want. With this thought in mind, Giles had already disposed of the beasts¡¯ corpse. He turned around and asked Alina, ¡°Now that we¡¯re separated from Rex and the others, are you going to leave this ce or find them and continue the mission?¡± Giles was going to find Rex and the others. Or rather, Giles didn¡¯t want to leave this forest yet. As he had the King Kong Beast and the other spirit beast, Giles felt that as long as he did not go deep into the forest, he would be safe. In order to nurture the spirit beasts, it was not a bad idea to gather the resources required for spirit beasts from this ce. On the other hand, Giles was also curious about what the beast that was about to break through to the Legendary-rank looked like. If he could meet Rex and the others againter, he could go and take a look. With this in mind, he frowned and looked at Alina. He just didn¡¯t know what she would choose. From the beginning, Giles did not know why a Gold-rank Beast Tamer like Alina would participate in this operation. Just now, when Alina faced the four Epic-rank beasts, she did not look afraid at all. It was either she did not care about life and death, or she had something to back her up. Giles was more inclined towards thetter. There were not many people in this world who could see through life and death. Not to mention that she is only a young woman in her twenties. Giles thought to himself. On the other hand, ALina heard the question. Just as Giles had expected, she did not hesitate at all and said, ¡°Of course I¡¯m going to continue with the operation. I¡¯m not someone who only does a job halfway.¡± She smiled at Giles and the Four-eyed Spirit Cat beside her purred, as if echoing its master. Upon hearing this, Gilesnodded without saying anything. Giles then took out hismunicator and prepared to contact Rex. However, after fiddling with it for a long time, there was still no signal. ¡°The signal in Grant Forest is very bad. It seems like we won¡¯t be able to contact Rex and the others anytime soon,¡± Alina exined. Upon hearing this, Giles frowned, feeling that things were gettingplicated. This forest was huge to begin with, and now that they could not contact each other, it would be very difficult for them to meet up. Only Rex knew where the evolving Epic-rank ferocious beast was. If he couldn¡¯t contact Rex for a long time, Giles could only choose to leave. After all, if he dyed for too long, by the time that beast evolved to the Legendary rank, Giles would no longer be confident. This was because ferocious beasts would begin toe into contact with the power of the universe from the Legendary rank onwards. At the same time, their soul strength would undergo a qualitative change. They were far from what Epic-rank ferocious beasts couldpare with. Although Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast could easily fight against Epic-rank ferocious beasts, it was wishful thinking for it to fight against Legendary-rank ferocious beasts. Perhaps when the King Kong Beast evolved into an Epic-rank spirit beast, it might be able to put up a fight against them. Therefore, the first thing to do was to find Rex and meet up with him. Aside from that, Giles was also worried that Rex would simply abandon the operation and leave Grant Forest. If so, Giles would have no choice but to leave. How should he find them in the forest where the signal was cut off? It became a question Giles had to think about now. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind. ¡°I almost forgot about that.¡± Then, under Alina¡¯s puzzled gaze, he summoned a Gold-rank spirit beast. It was the Three-Headed Hellhound. After finishing the story yesterday, the Green-furred Dog had evolved into a Gold-rank skill and even awakened an innate skill. Giles had thought that it would be used as abat spirit beast, but he did not expect that it would be used as a support spirit beast now. The spirit beasts contracted by Beast Tamers also had their own responsibilities. Other than Beast Tamers who contracted only one spirit beast, most Beast Tamers would contract multiple spirit beasts. Each of these spirit beasts had their own division ofbor. Some were responsible forbat, while others were for support. There was no need to talk about those used forbat. There were many support spirit beasts as well. Flying spirit beasts were considered one type, and there were also some healing and scouting spirit beasts that were also considered support spirit beasts. Right now, Giles had asked the Three-headed Hellhound to be their scouting beast to help them find Rex and the others. After all, canine-type spirit beasts had very sharp noses. After Giles used his spiritual power tomunicate with the Three-headed Hellhound and told it everything, it then followed Rex¡¯s scent to find them. Giles nodded at Alina and they trailed after the Three-headed Hellhound. Along the way, they saw trees being destroyed from time to time. Giles realized that this was caused by Rex¡¯s Earth Barbaric Bear. However, Giles could tell that Rex was not nning to leave. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Along the way, they encountered some ferocious beast attacks. However, they were all killed by the King Kong Beast. Soon, the sky turned dark. Giles and Alina stopped moving. After all, the forest at night was much more dangerous than during the day. Both of them found a stone cliff and prepared to take a rest there. Giles tossed some giant python meat to the Three-headed Hellhound and King Kong Beast, before leaning against a rock and gazing at the stars. The stars twinkled and the moon shone brightly. Alina sat beside him. She looked up at the moon. ¡°Giles, aren¡¯t you curious as to why I¡¯m participating in this operation?¡± Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Richard¡¯s Murderous Intent

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Under the moonlight. Hearing her words, Giles looked at Alina curiously. He was indeed curious about Alina¡¯s motives. Previously, he thought that Alina had something to back her up, but based on her performance today, there was nothing special. Her Four-eyed Spirit Cat was just an ordinary Gold-rank spirit beast, and itsbat strength was also ordinary. In fact, during the day, she had been ambushed by many ferocious beasts. If not for the King Kong Beast¡¯s timely reaction, she would have died. Is she really just indifferent about life and death? Giles thought to himself.. Then, he said, ¡°I¡¯m indeed curious.¡± Alina looked at the bright moon and told Giles her motive. It turned out that Alina had contracted a disease. If she could not be cured, she would not live past 22 years old. She was already 21 years old. It was not long before she reached the end of her life. This disease could only be cured by a spirit herb unique to Grant Forest, but it was extremely rare. Alina searched the market for a long time but could not find it. The end of her life was approaching. Alina happened to see the mission that Rex posted on the Beast Tamers¡¯ exclusive website and decided to take a gamble. Hence, she participated in this operation. Giles could only sigh at that. It was no wonder that Alina had no fear about danger. She knew that she was about to die, but could not stop it. She could only watch as time passed and slowly approached the end of her life. What could be more terrifying than this? Giles didn¡¯t know what to say. He could onlyfort Alina, ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯ll definitely be able to find that herb.¡± Alina smiled. ¡°That herb is too rare. I¡¯ve already epted it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if I can find it. Even if I can¡¯t, it can¡¯t be forced.¡± Hearing this, Giles said nothing else and looked up at the moon. Alina said nothing more. The night passed uneventfully. Soon, daytime arrived. Giles and Alina continued to follow the Three-headed Hellhound. On the other hand, Bart was trekking through the forest alone. There was a hint of fear on his face, but he still forced himself to look around vigntly. Rex had taken Bart with him when they escaped. However, because they encountered other Epic-rank beasts along the way, the two of them had gotten split up. Right now, Bart just wanted to meet up with his grandfather as soon as possible. After all, he was only a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. In this forest, there were many Epic-rank beasts, and Bart could be said to be on the brink of death. Just then¡­ Bart saw a tree and he narrowed his eyes. To be precise, he was looking at the white fruit on the tree. That was the Wind Spirit Fruit. This fruit contained a trace of the power of wind. Epic-rank could awaken the power of wind after eating it for a long time and advance to the Legend rank. This fruit was extremely rare. It could not be found on the market. There were at least five or six of them on the tree in front of him. Bart¡¯s heart was pounding, and his eyes were aze. Just as he was about to pluck them¡­ A deep voice came from behind, ¡°Wind Spirit Fruit? Haha, the resources in Grant Forest are truly abundant.¡± Bart quickly spun around. When he saw who it was, his expression froze. It was Richard. Without looking at Bart, he walked straight to the Wind Spirit Fruit. ¡°Senior Richard, I discovered this first.¡± Bart suppressed his anger and spoke to Richard. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll make it up to you.¡± Richard nced at him before plucking the Wind Spirit Fruit. Bart¡¯s face turned pale, but he couldn¡¯t say anything. The reason for that was because his grandfather was not here at the moment. He couldn¡¯t stop Richard who was at Epic rank. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and wait to meet up with his grandfather before pursuing this matter. ¡°What are you waiting for? Quickly bring me to meet your grandfather.¡± Richard scolded Bart again. Bart got even angrier, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he walked ahead silently. ¡­ On the other hand, Giles and Alina were still traveling. As the forest ahead became more and more dense, the Three-Headed Hellhound also had difficulty in differentiating. It had to smell for a long time each time to determine the route. All of a sudden, the Three-headed Hellhound looked stunned. Then, it barked at Giles. Through spiritualmunication with it, Giles understood what it meant. The Three-Headed Hellhound spotted someone ahead. Giles and Alina quickened their pace at the news. Soon, they passed through a dense forest and arrived at an empty area. They could vaguely make out the figures in front of them. However, only when they walked closer did they realize that it was Bart and Richard. ¡°Bart? Where¡¯s your Grandpa Rex?¡± Giles was surprised that Bart was not with Rex. On the other hand, Bart was startled to see Giles and Alina appear. Before he escaped, he clearly saw Giles and the others being surrounded by four Epic-rank beasts. Even if Giles had that unusual Silver-rank spirit beast, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have been able to escape. It was a sure-death situation. However, the person, who in his mind should have died, suddenly came back to life. He was shocked. However, when he thought of the Giles¡¯ other spirit beasts, he immediately understood. One can¡¯t look at Giles usingmon sense. ¡°I got separated from my grandfather. I ran into Senior Richard not long ago.¡± Bart cast Richard a hateful nce as he answered Giles. If it weren¡¯t for Richard, the Wind Spirit Fruit would have been his. When I find Grandpa, I must make him cough it out! Bart thought to himself. Meanwhile, on the other side, Richard was unceremoniously sizing Giles up. Needless to say, he was also extremely shocked that Giles and Alina had survived. After all, four Epic-rank giant pythons had appeared. It was unbelievable that two Gold-rank Beast Tamers could escape from four Epic-rank beasts. Richard suddenly had a vicious thought in his mind. Leave Giles in this forest forever. As the arch-enemy of the previous gym leader, the two had been fighting openly and covertly for many years. Now that he suddenly saw Giles¡¯ impressive performance, Richard instantly had the thought of killing Giles. However, he had to be more discreet. As he thought this, Richard nced at Bart. His previous thoughts had also changed. He knew that if he met up with Rex, Rex would definitely find out about him snatching the Wind Spirit Fruit. Rex would definitely force him to cough it out. This was because the Wind Spirit Fruit was extremely rare. It was something that all Epic-rank Beast Tamers desired. The biggest difference between an Epic-rank spirit beast and a Legend-rank spirit beast was the Power of the Universe. In order to possess the Power of the Universe, aside from some extremely talented spirit beasts that could understand it themselves, the rest could only rely on eating spirit fruits that contained the Power of the Universe to umte such powers. One could imagine how precious this spirit fruit was. Naturally, Richard did not want to share it with Rex. Of course, he still did not want to fall out with Rex right now. After all, he still needed Rex to lead him to the Epic-rank beast that was about to have a breakthrough. That matter had to be carried out over there. There was only one way. Richard nced over at Giles and the others. It was to shut everyone up. A hint of viciousness shed across Richard¡¯s eyes when he thought of this. Only the dead will not be able to speak. Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Bart¡¯s Death, Battle with Richard

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Deep in the forest. Bart was about to continue his search for his grandfather, Rex. However¡­ Richard had his Epic-rank beast, the Lava Python, block the way. At this sight, Giles¡¯ eyes narrowed and he grew wary. Bart¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Senior Richard, what do you mean by this?¡± However, Richard didn¡¯t say anything. Hemunicated with the Lava Python in his mind. . The next moment, the Lava Python attacked. It suddenly swung its tail and let out a fierce howl. Its target was Bart. Bart had no chance of dodging the Epic-rank beast. In his despair, the Lava Python¡¯s tailnded heavily on his body. Pfft! Apanying a muffled sound, Bart died on the spot and his blood sttered all over the ground. Soon after, Bart¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast, the Savage Blood Lion, was also not spared and was instantly killed by another attack from the Lava Python. Upon seeing this scene, Giles¡¯ pupils constricted. Is Richard crazy? He actually killed Rex¡¯s grandson! If Rex knows about this, he will definitely fight Richard to the death! Then, realisation dawned upon Giles. He and Alina are Richard¡¯s next targets. Because as long as he killed both of them, no one will know that Richard killed Bart. However, Giles wasn¡¯t too worried about this. The spirit beasts on him had no problem fighting against Epic-rank spirit beasts. Richard can¡¯t be more powerful than the four Epic-rank pythons, can he? On the other hand, Giles was pretty curious as to why Richard wanted to kill Bart. With this thought in mind, Giles quietly turned on the recording function of hismunicator. ¡°Senior Richard, what are you doing?¡± Giles asked directly. Richard nced at him. ¡°Don¡¯t think about stalling for time. Since I killed Bart, I won¡¯t let you guys live either.¡± ¡°Should I say that you are lucky or unlucky?¡± ¡°You were able to escape from the four Epic-rank pythons, but you ran into me again.¡± ¡°Goodbye, go to heaven with Bart.¡± Before he could finish his sentence, the Lava Python attacked. Just then, Richard saw that Alina was actually smiling. He did not understand.?There¡¯s actually someone who canugh in the face of death? Then, he understood. Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast grew taller in an instant. After which, it warded off the Lava Python¡¯s fatal blow! ¡°Epic-rank spirit beast!¡± Richard stared at the King Kong Beast in shock. ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. It¡¯s a Gold-rank spirit beast.¡± Giles smiled. ¡°Senior Richard, I think I¡¯m quite lucky.¡± A hint of viciousness shed across Richard¡¯s eyes upon hearing this. Then, he summoned another Epic-rank spiritual beast, the Blood-Winged Bat. ¡°So what if you can fend off an Epic-rank spirit beast? Can you fight against two of them?¡± Seeing this scene, Alina frowned. ¡°Despicable.¡± Richard sneered nonchntly. ¡°Youngdy, you¡¯re still too young. Don¡¯t be so naive in your next life.¡± In Richard¡¯s mind, these two people were dead for sure. They were just two Gold-rank Beast Tamers. So what if there was a spirit beast that could withstand the power of an Epic-rank spirit beast? In his eyes, it was still not enough. He could already see Giles¡¯ and Alina¡¯s deaths. He then shifted his gaze onto the King Kong Beast. A Gold-rank beast can resist the attack of an Epic-rank beast! The potential of this spirit beast must be enormous! Richard¡¯s eyes were aze with excitement at this thought. ¡°Kid, speaking of which, I have to thank you for giving me such a talented spirit beast.¡± Giles smiled. ¡°Senior Richard, you seem to be celebrating too early.¡± On the battlefield. The King Kong Beast, which had activated its Giantize innate skill, warded off the attacks of the two Epic-rank spirit beasts. However, the King Kong Beast didn¡¯t want to passively take a beating and began to retaliate. The King Kong Beast disyed a speed that was ipatible with its massive body as it approached the Lava Python. It opened its hands and grabbed the Lava Python¡¯s body tightly before pulling it apart with all its might. Pftt! With a muffled sound, the Lava Python was ripped into two. It was still alive and half of its body was squirming. When the King Kong Beast saw this, it threw the two halves of the snake¡¯s body to the ground in disdain before ruthlessly stomping down on the head of the python. Another thud. The Lava Python waspletely dead, and only half of its body was left writhing unconsciously. At the same time, as the Lava Python died, Richard spurted out a mouthful of blood. If the spirit beast contracted by the Beast Tamer died, the Beast Tamer would suffer a certain degree of damage. Richard stared at the corpse of the Lava Python in disbelief. He had not expected such an ending. It was supposed to be an easy battle. Yet this was the situation. Richard red at Giles with a vicious gaze and a ferocious expression. ¡°Blood-Winged Bat, attack Giles directly!¡± The Epic-rank flying beast was extremely fast. Upon hearing Richard¡¯s instructions, it charged towards Giles like a sharp sword. Seeing this, Alina panicked. ¡°Giles, dodge quickly!¡± However, Giles did not panic in the face of an attack by an Epic-rank spirit beast. This was because he had the Three-Headed Hellhound by his side. Giles said calmly, ¡°Three-headed Hellhound, make your move.¡± Hearing this, the three heads of the Three-Headed Hellhound instantly revealed happy expressions. It instantly activated its skill. Guardian of the Underworld River: Condense the Underworld River to resist the enemy¡¯s attack. Soul Poison: A poison that originated from the depths of the soul. Spirit beasts below the Legend-rank cannot withstand it. Instantly, a ck fog surged out of the Three-Headed Hellhound¡¯s body before quickly condensing into a ck river that enveloped Giles and Alina. At the same time, the ck mes burning on the Three-Headed Hellhound began to grow. Then, they spread towards the outside of the Underworld River Shield. Seeing this scene, Richard snickered. ¡°You actually want to use a Gold-rank spirit beast to ward off the attack? Has your brain been damaged on the brink of death?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe that your spirit beast can fight against an Epic-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°Die!¡± At that moment, the Blood-Winged Bat¡¯s attack arrived. However, just as it reached Giles, it suddenly fell from the air andnded on the ground, motionless. Seeing this, Giles understood that the Three-Headed Hellhound¡¯s Soul Poison had already taken effect. The Soul Poison was a poison that directly affected the soul. Spirit beasts could only resist it after reaching the Legend rank when their spiritual strength had increased greatly. At this moment, the Blood-Winged Bat¡¯s soul was being corroded by the poison. Unless the Three-Headed Hellhound retracted its poison, the Blood-Winged Bat would definitely die! Needless to say, Giles wouldn¡¯t do that. On the other hand, Richard¡¯s face was filled with horror as he roared at Giles,* ¡°What have you done?¡± ¡°Blood-Winged Bat, you piece of trash, get up!¡± Just then, he suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood. Richard¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief. His Epic-rank Blood-Winged Bat was dead! After confirming this, Richard could only suppress the horror and shock in his heart. Then, he summoned a Gold-rank flying spirit beast and flew towards the distant forest. He knew that he had severely underestimated Giles. ¡°Gold-rank spirit beasts? They can kill two Epic-rank spirit beasts? Great, great!¡± Richard¡¯s eyes were filled with insanity. ¡°But I haven¡¯t lost yet. Just you wait, Giles!¡± Richard looked towards the depths of the forest, where his hopey. As long as he seeded in that matter, it would be the death of Giles! Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Meeting Up with Rex and Seeing Richard Again

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions As Richard fled, the battle in the forest came to an end. Giles took out a knife from his spatial wristband again and started to deal with the corpses of the two Epic-rank spirit beasts. Seeing this scene, Alina asked curiously, ¡°Why did you let Richard get away?¡± ¡°We should kill him directly. Otherwise, with his connections as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, who knows what he will do to you?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles cut off the Lava Python¡¯s galldder and then looked at Alina in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect this girl, who looked so gentle on the outside, to be so ruthless. However, it was simr to what he thought. Giles smiled and exined, ¡°He¡¯s running into the depths of the forest. There¡¯s no need to chase after him..¡± ¡°If we encounter other ferocious beasts, we¡¯ll be the ones in danger instead.¡± ¡°We might not even have to attack again. The ferocious beasts in the forest will help us.¡± Elena nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. Then, she helped Giles deal with the corpses of the two beasts. After that, Giles walked over to Bart¡¯s body and sighed. ¡°I don¡¯t know what was wrong with Richard¡¯s brain. He killed Bart directly.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think Rex will let it go when he finds out.¡± Alina stood beside him, feeling a little sad. A person, who had been alive, was suddenly gone. ¡°Let¡¯s bury him here. We¡¯ll let Rex decide after we meet up with him.¡± Giles thought for a moment and made his decision. Alina nodded. Thus, Giles had the King Kong Beast dig a hole and bury Bart¡¯s body in it. After doing all of this, Giles suddenly remembered that themunicator was still recording and had not been switched off. He took it out and stopped the recording. Then, he opened the recording and looked at it. He nodded in satisfaction. When Alina saw this, she asked curiously, ¡°You even recorded a video?¡± Giles nodded. ¡°Of course, this is evidence. When the timees, Richard won¡¯t be able to deny it.¡± Alina¡¯s beautiful eyes scanned Giles. ¡°You really think very far ahead.¡± Giles shook his head. ¡°Good to be prepared, just in case.¡± Then, the two of them continued on their way. The Three-Headed Hellhound continued to lead the way. A momentter¡­ The Three-headed Hellhound came to a stop andmunicated with Giles in his mind. There¡¯s someone up ahead. It¡¯s not Richard. Upon hearing this, Giles understood. The person up ahead was Rex. He and Alina immediately sped up and rushed forward. A momentter¡­ They saw Rex. Rex was in a sorry state, his white hair dishevelled. His Epic-rank beast, the Earth Barbaric Bear, was sitting by the side with some wounds on its body. It was clear that it had been through many battles. Rex, who was resting, was stunned when he saw Giles and Alina. ¡°Giles?¡± ¡°You actually made it back alive!¡± Then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, a look of shame appeared on his face. ¡°Sorry, I thought you didn¡¯t stand a chance.¡± ¡°So I took Bart and left straight away.¡± ¡°I feel better after seeing you alive now.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles knew that the old man was feeling guilty about what had happened before. However, Giles wouldn¡¯t me him. After all, that was human nature. ¡°By the way, have you seen Bart?¡± ¡°Earlier, he and I encountered a group of ferocious beasts, and we got separated.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles and Alina looked at each other. They didn¡¯t know how to break the news to this old man. ¡°Mr Rex, we ran into Bart.¡± Hearing this, Rex looked around but did not see Bart, so he looked at Giles again. ¡°You ran into Bart?¡± ¡°Where is he? Why isn¡¯t he with you?¡± At that moment, Rex was no longer an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but a worried grandfather. Giles didn¡¯t know how to tell Rex the truth. In the end, he could only show Rex the video. Rex watched the video in confusion. A momentter¡­ ¡°Richard, you b*stard! I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Rex¡¯s face was red, and his eyes were burning with hatred. Seeing this scene, Giles could only shake his head helplessly before continuing. ¡°I killed two of Richard¡¯s Epic-rank spirit beasts. He must have fled to the depths of the forest by now.¡± Even though Rex was furious, he was still extremely shocked. A Silver-rank spirit beast could already unleash attacksparable to an Epic-rank spirit beast. Now, he had defeated two of Richard¡¯s Epic-rank spirit beasts. How unpredictable. ¡°Mr Rex, are you going to continue this operation?¡± Giles asked. After all, in Rex¡¯s current state, whether or not he could continue to carry out the operation was a problem. Rex forcefully suppressed his grief and pondered for a moment. ¡°Continue.¡± Giles nodded. The three of them immediately headed towards their destination. Along the way, they encountered many ferocious beasts, but they dealt with all of them. When it was almost noon, they finally arrived at their destination. It was a huge cave that was so dark that one could not see the end. ¡°This is where the Epic-rank beast is sleeping.¡± After half a day, Rex looked much better, except that he seemed much older and stooped. He looked at the hole before him and sighed deeply. ¡°That beast is sleeping deep inside the cave.¡± ¡°And the spirit herbs Alina needs to find could be in this cave too.¡± Giles nodded. Looking at the cave in front of her, Alina ould not help but look expectant. Then, the three of them brought their spirit beasts into the cave. mes rose from Rex¡¯s Fiery Bird, illuminating the cave. In front of them was a deep road. At the end of it, there was a glimmer of light. The three of them moved towards the light. Along the way, they encountered the bones of some ferocious beasts from time to time, causing everyone¡¯s hearts to tremble. This was a reminder that this ce was not a good one, but their of an Epic-rank beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank. After ten minutes, when all of them reached the light, everything suddenly became clear. When they saw the scene before them clearly, Alina gasped, ¡°Richard!¡± Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Beast Blood Sect, Blood Contract Method

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At the end of the cave was ava pool. In theva pool, there was a rock about two meters long at the center. There were strange patterns on it, and it trembled from time to time. On that rock, there was a half-naked person on it. It was Richard! Giles was surprised to see him. He did not expect to meet Richard in this ce. On the other side, Rex also saw Richard. As the saying goes, ¡®Enemies see red the moment they meet¡¯.. Ever since he learned that Bart had died, Rex had been looking for Richard to take revenge. Now that his enemy was right in front of him, Rex felt his hatred burning. Rex immediately ordered the Fiery Bird to attack Richard. Richard, however, looked puzzled at this scene. ¡°Rex, what are you doing?¡± Rex grew even angrier. ¡°Why are you asking me?¡± ¡°You killed Bart, so why can¡¯t I avenge my grandson?¡± Richard pretended to be innocent. ¡°No, no, no. Rex, wait. I think there¡¯s a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°They¡¯re the ones who told you I killed Bart, right?¡± ¡°This is nder. They were the ones who killed Bart!¡± Richard pointed at Giles and Alina, looking like he was wronged. Seeing this, Giles couldn¡¯t help but admire Richard¡¯s acting skills. It¡¯s a pity that he isn¡¯t an actor. On the other hand, Alina couldn¡¯t help but smile when she saw this. ¡°Giles, I¡¯m d you recorded the video or else we wouldn¡¯t have been able to exin ourselves.¡± Giles nodded but said nothing. Rex had seen the video recorded by Giles and knew that Richard was framing Giles. He was instantly enraged. ¡°Richard, you¡¯re still trying to shirk the me!¡± ¡°The video that Giles recorded is very clear.¡± ¡°I may be old but I¡¯m not blind!¡± Rex roared. Richard stiffened. He gave Giles a hard look, knowing there was no point in pretending anymore. Richard smirked. ¡°Since you¡¯ve seen through me, I won¡¯t pretend anymore.¡± ¡°Rex, I killed your grandson. What can you do to me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re toote. I¡¯ve already finished what I wanted to do!¡± ¡°Next, all of you shall die!¡± Richard¡¯s face was sinister. Then, he made a cut on his palm. When the blood dripped onto the stone, the blood instantly disappeared, as if the existence inside the stone had absorbed it. At the same time, as Richard dripped more and more blood onto it, the stone shook more and more. Rex was stunned at first. Then, his expression changed drastically. ¡°Richard, how dare you set your sights on this beast again!¡± Richard smiled sinisterly. ¡°That¡¯s right, right from the beginning, I wanted to contract this Epic-rank beast that was about to have a breakthrough.¡± ¡°Think about it. As long as I can sessfully contract it, it will break through to the Legend rankter on. This is such a good opportunity.¡± ¡°Only an old-fashioned person like you would think of killing this ferocious beast.¡± Rex¡¯s expression was extremely awful. ¡°So you¡¯re even willing to join the Beast Blood Sect in exchange for the Blood Contract method?¡± Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood, but at this moment, Richard¡¯s face was extremely pale. Coupled with his sinister expression, he looked just like an evil spirit. ¡°So what? The Beast Blood Sect¡¯s doctrine is to strengthen oneself. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± ¡°Think about it. If a human can directly possess the power of a ferocious beast, how charming would the physique of the ferocious beast be?¡± Upon hearing this, a chill ran down Giles¡¯ spine. As a Beast Tamer, he naturally knew about the Beast Blood Sect. The Beast Blood Sect had existed since the birth of Beast Tamers. However, at the beginning, it did not exist in the form of a Sect, but rather a small group of people with the same ideals. In that era, humans were forced to retreat under the attacks of the ferocious beasts. Although there were Beast Tamers around, they were often targeted by ferocious beasts due to their weak physiques. After all, the intelligence of ferocious beasts was not lower than that of humans. It was not surprising that they knew about the concept of decapitation. For a time, humanity was in an increasingly precarious situation. At that moment, a new theory appeared. It was the fusion of a Beast Tamer with a spirit beast, whilst possessing the strength of the spirit beast. The concept was realized after being studied by many people. A Beast Tamer who had reached the Legend rank could fuse with the spirit of their contracted spirit beast and control the power of the spirit beast. It was also the application of this ability thatid the foundation for humanity¡¯s victory in the war against the ferocious beasts. However, if that was all, the Beast Blood Sect wouldn¡¯t have emerged. Later, those who proposed the concept were not happy with the status quo. Why is it that only those at Legend rank can fuse with beast spirits? Can¡¯t the requirements be lowered? Thus, they began to experiment with low-rank Beast Tamers. However, they all failed, and the Beast Tamers who participated in the experiment all became lunatics. As such, they pulled the plug on the experiment. However, they did not give up on that belief, which was to allow humans to possess the power of ferocious beasts. Gradually, they began to conduct various brutal experiments in private. Their beliefs gradually became distorted. Finally, it gave rise to the condemnation of Beast Tamers. In the end, their forces werepletely wiped out, leaving only a few underlings who had escaped. However, it was these underlings who eventually developed the powerful Beast Blood Sect, which was presently hidden in the dark. Now, the Beast Blood Sect was a target of scorn. However, its power continued to grow, especially after the Blood Contract appeared. Blood Contract was a contractual method invented by the Beast Blood Sect. After Beast Tamers used this type of spirit beasts that were contracted using the Blood Contract, they would directly obliterate the soul of the spirit beast and allow the Beast Tamer¡¯s soul to enter the body of the spirit beast. It was equivalent to transforming from a human into a ferocious beast! This method undoubtedly attracted arge group of wicked Beast Tamers to join the Beast Blood Sect. After all, if a Beast Tamer wanted to possess the power of a spirit beast, it could only be achieved by fusing with the soul of a beast after attaining the Legend rank. However, now that the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Contact could allow one to possess the power of a ferocious beast should they give up on their human body. This was extremely tempting to many people. ¡°Rex, Giles, just wait to die!¡± Richard roared furiously. Then, his body lost all signs of life. At the same time, the stone in the middle of theva pool shattered. A beast covered in rocks and flowingva appeared before them. Richard¡¯s body was in its grasp. ¡°I¡¯m about to break through to the Legend rank. This power is truly intoxicating.¡± The beast raised its hideous head and looked at everyone as it spoke to them in humannguage. ¡°But before that, I need to get rid of all of you!¡± Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Killing Richard, The Person Behind the Scenes

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At that moment, Richard had sessfullypleted the blood contract. Richard had already taken over the body of the Legend-rank beast. He had abandoned his own body and his soul had entered the body of a ferocious beast, thereby turning from a human into a ferocious beast! ¡°So what if the spirit beast is powerful? It¡¯s not asfortable as controlling it myself.¡± Richard, who had transformed into a beast, scanned the crowd with his scarlet eyes. Then, he took out a few white fruits from his body. It was none other than the Wind Spirit Fruit. Then, Richard swallowed them. . Immediately, a mysterious power appeared and coiled around the beast¡¯s body. At the same time, his aura became more and more powerful. Seeing this scene, Rex¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Giles, we can¡¯t let him break through.¡± Then, Rex ordered his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, to attack. Fiery mes erupted from the Fiery Bird¡¯s mouth as it hurtled towards Richard. However, the mes werepletely ineffective. Richard was unharmed. ¡°Stop struggling. It¡¯s useless.¡± ¡°Be obedient and ept your death!¡± The beast opened its mouth wide andughed like a human. ¡°I really have to thank Bart. If not for him, I wouldn¡¯t have gotten these precious Wind Spirit Fruits.¡± ¡°I originally needed some time to advance to the Legend rank, but now, I¡¯m on the verge of an advancement.¡± Rex immediately understood. His eyes were wide with rage as he red at the terrifying beast. ¡°So you killed Bart because of the Wind Spirit Fruit?¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a b*stard!¡± When Giles saw this, he understood what had happened. However, they were already mortal enemies, so there was nothing left to say. ¡°Richard, so you haven¡¯t reached the Legend rank yet?¡± The beast turned its scarlet eyes on Giles. ¡°You brat, you¡¯ve caused me to suffer so miserably before.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll kill you now to vent my anger!¡± Before he even finished his sentence, Richard stretched out his arms, ready to kill Giles. However, he suddenly felt like his body was out of control. Immediately after, an immense pain shot through his mind. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did the Blood Contract fail?¡± Richard could feel that something was wrong with his body and his eyes filled with horror. Giles smiled. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Richard. Your hopes may be dashed.¡± Beside him, ck mes slowly burned on the Three-Headed Hellhound. The Soul Poison had already been activated. Souls below the Legend-rank could not withstand it. Although Richard had taken over the body of the beast, his soul had also been corroded by the Soul Poison. With his strength as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, he would not be able to withstand the power of the Soul Poison. ¡°D*mn it! Was it you ying tricks, Giles?¡± At that moment, Richard was feeling an immense pain in his head, and his massive arms were pummeling his head in an attempt to alleviate the pain. At the same time, his expression was one of pain and his eyes were full of venom as he stared hard at Giles. Giles looked at him quietly. Just in case, he summoned the Little Beetle. ¡°Little beetle, use your Super Atomic Ray.¡± Instantly, energy began to gather on the Little Beetle¡¯s horn. A momentter¡­ A scorching ray of light as thick as a human head shot out towards Richard. Then, Richard¡¯s terrified gaze fell on him. Rumble! A loud sound was heard. Magma gushed out and the entire cave shook. Rex and Alina were dumbfounded. Even though Rex had been mentally prepared, he still gasped. It was unbelievable that the attack of a Silver-rank spirit beast could contend against an Epic-rank spirit beast. In contrast, Alina was slightly better as she had already gotten used to it. After a while, the dust caused by the explosion dissipated, revealing the scene inside. The beast¡¯s chest had been pierced by the light, and its eyes had lost their luster. Ity motionless in theva pool. Seeing this scene, Giles carefully sensed around and realized that the presence that belonged to Richard was gone. This meant that Richard was dead. Giles heaved a long sigh. After all, it was a ferocious beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank. Needless to say, he had to deal with it cautiously. When he first saw Richard, Giles had already told the Three-headed Hellhound to attack. Strike first and gain the upper hand. Strike second and suffer. This is not apetition. Rex, on the other hand, burst into tears. His enemy is dead. Although he didn¡¯t kill him personally, he did avenge Bart. He went over to Giles and gave him a deep bow. ¡°Giles, thank you for helping me take revenge.¡± Giles quickly helped the elderly man up. ¡°Mr Rex, you don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Then, he turned to Alina and said, ¡°Quickly look around and see if there is the spirit herb that you need here.¡± Rex also reacted upon hearing this. As the initiator of this operation, he naturally knew the purpose of Alina¡¯s trip. ¡°That type of spirit herb usually grows in their of ferocious beasts. There should be some here.¡± Then, he brought Alina around to search for it. On the other hand, Giles nced at them. Then, he pensively looked at the carcass of the beast in theva pool. He could sense some aura of life. It seemed to be the aura of a ferocious beast. With this in mind, Giles frowned. Then, he summoned the Swan Beast and brought out the corpse of the ferocious beast. Giles stood next to the beast¡¯s body and quietly studied it. The entire body of the ferocious beast was made of hard rocks. It was over two meters long and its body was simr to that of a human. Even though it was already dead, it still had some remnant mightiness that was unique to ferocious beasts. Giles did not dare to imagine how terrifying this beast would be if it broke through to the Legend rank. But where is this peculiar aura of lifeing from? Giles frowned. He was pretty sure that his senses were right. At that moment, the ferocious beast on the ground began to change. It shrunk into a stone the size of a human head in an instant, and its life force also increased in a split second. Upon seeing this scene, Giles¡¯ eyes narrowed. Just as Giles was confused, Rex and Alina came over. Alina¡¯s expression hadn¡¯t changed much, but Giles could clearly sense her disappointment. As expected. ¡°We didn¡¯t find that spirit herb,¡± Rex shook his head as he told Giles. When Giles heard this, he didn¡¯t know what to say. Hope turning into despair. Only those who had experienced it could understand it. Alina forced herself to smile at Giles. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ve already gotten over it.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles fell silent. At that moment, Rex saw the stone on the ground that had been formed from the ferocious beast. ¡°Giles, what is this?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles recounted what had happened. Rex studied the stone in amazement. ¡°Could it be that the ferocious beast returned to its infancy stage and is growing up from scratch?¡± ¡°Just deal with it as you see fit, Giles.¡± Rex nced at Giles. This stone was very likely a ferocious beast that was starting out again from the beginning. If it matured in the future, it would definitely be an Epic-rank ferocious beast or even break through to be a Legend-rank ferocious beast. However, Rex didn¡¯t fight Giles for it. After all, without Giles, he might have lost his life here, let alone taking revenge. Giles did not stand on ceremony and put the ¡°stone¡± away. Naturally, he would not reject a ferocious beast that could possibly grow to the Legend rank. Then, after confirming that they didn¡¯t miss anything, the three of them left this ce and started on their return journey. A few hours after they left, a few people in blood-red robes arrived at the cave. They saw traces of battle in the cave. After a thorough search, they found Richard¡¯s body in theva pool. ¡°I can¡¯t believe that good-for-nothing Richard was killed.¡± ¡°Our target seems to have been taken away.¡± ¡°Find that person and kill him!¡± Chapter 25

Chapter 25: The Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Plot

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Yorkshire City, Hengduan Mountain Range. Alice was exploring the surroundings with the other Epic-rank Beast Tamers. A few days ago, Alice had received news from the Beast Tamer Association and came here directly. Mythic-rank Beast. It represented the top power in this world. Now that a Mythic-rank beast had appeared, the Beast Tamer Association naturally could not sit still. It would be fine if this Mythic-rank beast had a contract with someone, but if it was a ferocious beast that grew in the wilderness, that was undoubtedly a terrifying thing for humans. Ferocious beasts that had reached the Mythic rank already possessed the ability to transform into humans.. If this Mythic-rank beast was hostile towards humans, the consequences would be unimaginable. On the other hand, the Beast Blood Sect was also eyeing this Mythic-rank beast. Naturally, the Beast Tamer Association would not let them seed. ¡°Everyone, perk up! We¡¯re going to face the legendary Mythic-rank beast!¡± Alice, who was the leader of this expedition team, reminded everyone. ¡°How can it be so easy to encounter a Mythic-rank beast? Alice, you¡¯re too cautious.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We don¡¯t even know if there is any Mythic-rank beast yet. Maybe it¡¯s just a rumor.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about? The Beast Tamer Association must have verified it. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten us toe over.¡± For a moment, the originally quiet group seemed to have opened a topic as they discussed animatedly. Seeing this, Alice shook her head without saying anything. These people were the gym leaders from different areas. Now that they had suddenly been transferred here, they naturally had someints. Just then, Alice suddenly felt a vibration on the ground. It was as if a giant creature was rapidly approaching. ¡°Prepare for battle! A ferocious beast has appeared!¡± Alice shouted. Her Epic-rank spirit beast, the Giant Golden Eagle, was already prepared for battle and stared fixedly at the forest in front of it. At the same time, the other Beast Tamers also went on guard. One had to know that everyone present was a gym leader and none of them were trash. They immediately had their spirit beasts prepare for battle. The next moment, a group of ferocious beasts rushed out from the mountain forest. Alice heaved a sigh of relief when she got a clear look at them. ¡°It¡¯s a pack of Green Wood Wolves. They¡¯re just Gold ranks.¡± The other Beast Tamers also let their guard down. After all, everyone present was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Just as everyone was preparing to get rid of these beasts¡­ The Green Wood Wolf leading the pack actually spoke, ¡°The people from the Beast Tamer Association actually found this ce?¡± Upon hearing this, Alice¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Legend-rank beast!¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. You guys are from the Beast Blood Sect?¡± The Green Wood Wolf, who was leading the pack, shot Alice a baleful nce. ¡°The little girl has a good eye.¡± His voice was deep and hoarse like a demon from hell. ¡°Since you¡¯ve found this ce, you can all stay here.¡± Following that, a blood-red glow appeared on the Green Wood Wolf¡¯s body. The bodies of all the beasts behind it also radiated a blood-red glow. Then, the Gold-rank ferocious beasts gradually broke through to the Epic-rank. ¡°It¡¯s the Blood Ignition Technique of the Beast Blood Sect!¡± When Alice saw this, she knew in her heart that the odds were against them. The Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Ignition Technique could burn the blood essence of ferocious beasts to forcefully increase their strength. Now, all the beasts in front of them had used the Blood Ignition Technique, and all of them had reached the Epic rank. ¡°Quickly break out of the encirclement, don¡¯t continue fighting!¡± In the face of such a perilous situation, Alice did not panic. On the battlefield, the Beast Tamers and the ferocious beasts had already started fighting. However, as soon as they came into contact with it, many of the Beast Tamer¡¯s spirit beasts were killed. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to escape. Just be obedient and wait for your death!¡± The Green Wood Wolf, who was leading the pack, smiled sinisterly andmanded the other beasts to attack the Beast Tamers. Soon, ferocious beasts got close to some Beast Tamers. Facing off against Epic-rank beasts, they had no means of fighting back. They were killed by the beasts after letting out a tragic cry. Seeing this scene, Alice could not get there in time to save them. At the same time, some Beast Tamers thought of riding their flying spirit beasts to escape through the sky. However, before they could fly high, a wind de came attacking and killed those Beast Tamers. Some of the Beast Tamers who had escaped this cmity had just heaved a sigh of relief when they lost all hope upon seeing numerous ferocious beasts in the sky. These were the beasts that the people from the Beast Blood Sect had turned into. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about leaving. Everyone here must die!¡± a Vulture said in humannguage before attacking. Just then¡­ A figure appeared out of nowhere and warded off the Vulture¡¯s attack. ¡°Is that so?¡± Alice killed an attacking beast and looked over. That person was an elderly man wearing a gray robe who was currently flying in the air. Alice knew him. He was an elder in the Beast Tamer Association, a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. After reaching the Legend rank, Beast Tamers could fuse with beast souls and possess the power of spirit beasts. This elder of the Beast Tamer Association was the same. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect so many people from the Beast Blood Sect toe.¡± The elderly man¡¯s gaze swept across all the beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. Then, he waved his hands, and an endless storm appeared out of nowhere. A chill that seemed to freeze souls enveloped all the ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. The next moment, the storm stopped. The ferocious beasts were sealed in ice blocks. Then, the ice shattered and the beasts within crumbled as well. With one strike, he finished off all his enemies. This was the strength of a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. The elderly man walked up to Alice and the others. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Beast Blood Sect to arrive so quickly.¡± ¡°You guys go back and get some rest first. You can continue your explorationter. I¡¯ll go deeper to take a look.¡± After saying this, the elder vanished from everyone¡¯s sight, as if he had never appeared before. Upon seeing this, Alice¡¯s eyes lit up. This elderly man had contracted an Ice Bird. When it evolved into a Legend-rank, it had obtained the Power of Ice and the Power of Space. At this thought, Alice nced at her Epic-rank spirit beast, the Giant Golden Eagle. She could not help but look forward to the day she became a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. With this thought in mind, Alice and the others returned to the camp. There were many injured Beast Tamers in the camp. They had all run into the Beast Blood Sect. ¡°I heard that the Beast Blood Sect is looking for Legend-rank spirit beasts everywhere. I didn¡¯t expect that they would still have their eyes on Mythic-rank Beasts.¡± ¡°God knows what they¡¯re thinking. Sooner orter we¡¯ll destroy this bunch of inhuman things.¡± ¡­ Listening to these discussions, Alice looked up at the sky. What exactly is the Beast Blood Sect plotting? Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Alina¡¯s True Identity

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In Grant Forest. Rex was filled with grief as he looked at Bart¡¯s tragic body. Giles and Alina didn¡¯t say anything and simply watched quietly from the side. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s head back,¡± Rex said to Giles after carefully keeping Bart¡¯s body. Giles nodded. Then, the three of them walked out of the forest. They did not encounter any danger along the way and soon made it out of the forest. Looking at the open space outside, Giles took a deep breath.. Five people joined this operation, but only the three of them are still alive. This is the world of Beast Tamers. Giles thought to himself as he nced at Rex and Alina. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Yin City.¡± Then, they summoned their flying spirit beasts and flew towards Yin City. It was silent the whole journey. The three of them returned to Yin City very quickly. As soon as they entered the city, Rex left the team. He was a Commander of Yin City¡¯s City Guards. Now that they had returned from their mission, he naturally had to report back immediately. Giles and Alina stood on the street. ¡°It feels like a dream.¡± Alina looked around at the crowd and smiled. ¡°Yeah, it feels like a dream.¡± Giles felt the same way. ¡°Are you going straight back to Starlux Gym?¡± Alina asked out of the blue. Giles nodded. ¡°Do you mind if I go and take a look?¡± Alina spoke again. Naturally, Giles wouldn¡¯t turn her down, so the two of them immediately rushed towards the gym. A whileter¡­ Giles looked helplessly at the spirit beasts surrounding him. ¡°All of you move aside, I still have something on. I¡¯ll tell you a story when I¡¯m done.¡± Upon hearing this, the group of spirit beast cubs dispersed. Then, Giles went to the spirit-beast section and ced the stone he obtained from the cave in a corner. To be safe, Giles summoned the Three-headed Hellhound. He told it to stay here and look after the stone. If there were any abnormal movements, he asked it to contact him directly. Then, Giles looked at Alina. ¡°I¡¯m going to the Trade Center. Do you want to go?¡± Alina deliberated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Since I have nothing to do, I¡¯lle with you.¡± Then, the two of them rushed to the Trade Center. Giles was prepared to sell some of his gains from this trip and then buy some resources to nurture his spirit beasts. Soon, the two of them walked through a few streets and arrived at Yin City¡¯s Trade Center. It was an open street. There were various shops and stalls inside. In this ce, almost anything could be bought. Giles rarely came here, so as he looked at the multitude of stalls now, he did not know where to go. ¡°Alina, do you have any rmendations?¡± Giles had already told her the purpose of his trip. A smile appeared on Alina¡¯s face. ¡°In that case,e with me.¡± A momentter, Alina led Giles to a store. This shop was called the ¡®Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce¡¯. Upon seeing this, Giles could not help but take a second nce. This was because the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce was thergest merchants association in this world. It was the second most powerful force apart from the Beast Tamer Association. While he was thinking this, Giles followed Alina inside. ¡°Hello, Miss Alina.¡± The moment they entered, the person in charge at the counter saw Alina and came over to greet her. Seeing this, Giles looked at Alina curiously. ¡°Why does he know you?¡± ¡°Because my father owns this ce,¡± Alina replied to him with a smile on her face. Upon hearing this, Giles was extremely surprised. Alina¡¯s father was the founder of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, Giles was a little puzzled. In that case, why did Alina go to Grant Forest alone? If she wanted to take action, why not directly hire a few high-rank Beast Tamers? Giles expressed his doubts openly. Alina brushed back her long blond hair and answered, ¡°I sneaked out. After all, I don¡¯t have many days left to live. I just treated it as me going out to y.¡± ¡°Besides, I thought that the team would be safe with two Epic-rank Beast Tamers. Who knew that so much would happen? If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have died.¡± At this point, Alina¡¯s beautiful eyes nced at Giles. When he heard this, Giles¡¯ mouth twitched but he said nothing. Then, he went straight to the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and prepared to sell the resources he had obtained. When Alina saw this, she said, ¡°Uncle Gars, give him the best price.¡± Gars was the person in charge of this Chamber of Commerce. Upon hearing this, he sized Giles up curiously. He did not turn Alina down and offered a price far higher than the market average. Then, Giles bought some resources that his spirit beasts needed. However, he did not pay for all these. Alina said it was to repay him for saving her life. Giles didn¡¯t say much either. He could ept this favor. Just as he was about to leave, a man in his twenties suddenly walked into the Chamber of Commerce. His eyes lit up when he saw Alina. ¡°Where were you yesterday, Alina? I couldn¡¯t find you.¡± Alina frowned when she saw the man. ¡°Henry, do I have to report to you about my whereabouts?¡± The man called Henry did not get angry when he heard this. ¡°No, I¡¯m just worried about you.¡± ¡°Can I have dinner with you tonight?¡± Alina nced at him. Then, she pulled Giles over and wrapped her arms around one of his arms. ¡°Henry, I¡¯m going out with Giles on a date tonight. Please don¡¯t pester me anymore.¡± Henry¡¯s eyes reddened at the sight. He looked at Alina and Giles with a red face. ¡°Giles? Isn¡¯t he that trash that can only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts?¡± ¡°Giles, I advise you to leave Alina, or else I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± Feeling the warmthing from his arm, Giles felt helpless. However, since he would not lose out either way, Giles was happy to help Alina resolve this problem. He ignored Henry¡¯s threat and left with Alina. After walking out of the Trade Center, Alina released her hold on Giles¡¯ arm and looked at him with a flushed face. ¡°Henry has been courting me, but I don¡¯t like him. Thank you for helping me today.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll head back first.¡± With that, Giles headed for the gym. From where she stood, Alina watched Giles¡¯ back view, her eyes glowing with wonder. She then thought about her illness and sighed before turning to leave. On the other hand, the more Henry thought about it, the angrier he became. A piece of trash that could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts dared to ignore me. Then, he rushed towards Starlux Gym. Along the way, he encountered a few people wearing blood-red robes. Based on the direction they were headed, they were also heading to Starlux Gym. However, Henry didn¡¯t take it to heart, and simply thought about how he was going to teach Giles a lessonter. Chapter 27

Chapter 27: People from the Beast Blood Sect, Completely Wiped Out

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the City Guard Headquarters of Yin City. Rex had settled Bart¡¯s body and was now in his office working on the past two days of work. He couldn¡¯t help but think about everything that had happened in Grant Forest. When he thought about Richard joining the Beast Blood Sect, he felt extremely frustrated. The Beast Blood Sect is the mortal enemy of Beast Tamers. How did Richard get involved with them? Are they hiding in Yin City? As he considered these, Rex no longer grieved over Bart. After all, he was a soldier.. As a City Guard, he was responsible for the safety of the entire city. Just then, a soldier came over to report, ¡°Sir Rex, we found traces of the Beast Blood Sect in the city.¡± Rex shot up immediately. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°From the looks of it, they are heading towards Starlux Gym,¡± the soldier continued to report. Rex did not have time to think further. The Beast Blood Sect was actually headed straight for Starlux Gym. In that case, their only goal would be Giles! Aside from the fact that the Beast Blood Sect was a force that the City Guards wanted to destroy, Rex was indebted to Giles and could not just stand by and do nothing. ¡°Gather everyone, head to Starlux Gym immediately!¡± Rex ordered. Then, he summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, and headed straight for Starlux Gym. At the same time, he took out hismunicator and called Giles. ¡°Giles, there are people from the Beast Blood Sect aiming for you.¡± ¡°Hide for now. I¡¯m on my way to back you up.¡± On the other side, Giles looked at the men in front of him. ¡°They¡¯re already here.¡± Then, Giles hung up. Looking at the people in blood-red robes, Giles was a little puzzled. Why would the people from the Beast Blood Sect look for him? Could it be that they discovered that he had killed Richard, so they were here for revenge? And that Henry, could he be some son or young master of the Beast Blood Sect? Did he call these people over for revenge? Giles thought to himself. At the same time, Henry looked arrogantly at Giles. ¡°Giles, how dare you have designs on Alina. I¡¯ll teach you a lesson today.¡± Before he even finished his sentence, Henry already summoned his spirit beast. Silver-rank spirit beast, Kuimu Wolf. Giles didn¡¯t even bother with him. Instead, he stared at the people from the Beast Blood Sect. Just then, one of them said in an extremely hoarse voice, ¡°Hand that thing over.¡± Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. ¡°Thing? What thing?¡± ¡°Cut the crap. It¡¯s what you took after you killed Richard.¡± ¡°Quickly hand it over!¡± Upon hearing this, Giles tried to recall in detail. He hadn¡¯t taken anything after killing Richard. Just as he was about to ask those people, something suddenly urred to Giles. If there was really something he had taken, it could only be that strange stone. ¡°Looks like you know what that thing is.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that item to be with you. I don¡¯t have to look for Rex anymore.¡± ¡°Hand it over, or else don¡¯t me us for being impolite!¡± Upon hearing this, Giles smiled and said nothing. What a joke. They¡¯ll let me go once I hand it over to them. Giles didn¡¯t think so. He was sure that even if he handed that thing over, these people definitely wouldn¡¯t let him off. The only reason they haven¡¯t made a move is simply because they aren¡¯t sure where the stone is. At that moment, one of the crimson-robed figures on the other side also didn¡¯t hold back. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to tell us, we¡¯ll just have to kill you and find that thing ourselves!¡± With that, he tossed his blood-red robe aside and revealed his true appearance. It was a monster with a human body and a lion head. Then, the few people beside him also revealed their true faces. There were human bodies with snake heads, bird heads, dog heads, et cetera. Upon seeing this scene, Henry was instantly shocked. He squatted on the ground with an extremely defeated expression. Then, a blood-red glow shed across their bodies. The next moment, a group of Epic-rank ferocious beasts appeared in front of Giles. Seeing this scene, Giles still got a shock even though he was mentally prepared. He wasn¡¯t afraid of these people from the Beast Blood Sect. He was simply disgusted by their existence, that was neither human nor beast. Instead of being a human being, they were willing to be ferocious beasts. Giles didn¡¯t know what to say. At the same time, the few ferocious beasts from the other party attacked Giles. Giles didn¡¯t panic at all. He summoned the King Kong Beast and used its innate skill, Giantize. Immediately, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body began to growrger, and itsbat strength also greatly increased. No spirit beast below the legend rank could fight against it! The King Kong Beast roared and hammered its chest a few times before charging towards the ferocious beasts. When the ferocious beasts first saw Giles summon a Gold-rank King Kong Beast, their eyes revealed a trace of mockery. To use a Gold-rank spirit beast to fight against Epic-rank spirit beasts, he must have been scared silly. However, the next moment, they were stunned. The body of the Gold-rank spirit beast suddenly began to grow bigger and its aura started to be stronger. In an instant, it had the might of an Epic-rank spirit beast. Although they were surprised, they had five Epic-rank ferocious beasts, so they were not afraid. However, soon after that, they had to eat their own words. The King Kong Beast waved its huge arms and instantly sent an Epic-rank dog-headed beast flying. It fell to the ground, motionless. At the same time, the King Kong Beast targeted the other ferocious beasts. It roared and grabbed another Epic-rank python before ripping it apart. Pftt! With a muffled sound, the giant python was ripped into two pieces by the King Kong Beast and thrown to the ground with its body writhing. Following that, the King Kong Beast caught the ferocious beast with the head of a lion. Its huge fist, coupled with the strength of the giantized King Kong Beast,nded on its body. The ferocious beast immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as its muscles curled up. One punch after another. Soon, it had no sign of life. There was only one bird-headed ferocious beast left. When it saw this scene, its eyes were filled with deep shock. Then, it looked at Giles with deep resentment. Right after that, it actually charged straight at Giles. In its heart, that King Kong Beast was unbelievably terrifying and it was unable to face it head on. Since that was the case, it would just kill Giles directly. However¡­ ¡°You know, that¡¯s also what Richard thought previously,¡± Giles said as he smiled at the bird-headed ferocious beast. Beside him was a Little Beetle the size of a palm. However, there was a terrifying energy gathered on the Little Beetle¡¯s horn. It was a ball of light the size of a human head. Then, the condensation wasplete. A scorching ray of light containing terrifying energy shot towards the bird-headed beast! Seeing this scene, the bird-headed beast was filled with terror. It wanted to dodge but it was already toote. With a loud boom, the people from the Beast Blood Sect werepletely annihted! Chapter 28

Chapter 28: News of the Gym Tournament, The Birth of the Stone Monkey

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the Starlux Gym. The air seemed to have frozen. Henry looked at the corpses and then at the King Kong Beast. His eyes were filled with fear. At this moment, the King Kong Beast was ten meters tall. Like a Godfiend, its entire body emitted a terrifying aura. Recalling his previous thoughts, Henry shuddered. Previously, I actually wanted to challenge Giles¡­ At that moment, Henry wished he could leave as soon as possible so that he could stay far away from Giles in the future. . Except, on the other side, Giles suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Henry with a faint smile dancing on his lips. ¡°Do you still want to challenge me?¡± Henry shook his head vigorously. Giles smiled at the sight. After a while¡­ Riding his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, Rex arrived at the gym. ¡°Giles, are you okay?¡± Rex asked hurriedly. Then, he saw the corpses of the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s members on the ground. Despite being aware of Giles¡¯ abilities, Rex was still shocked. Although he knew that the Beast Blood Sect could not do anything to Giles, it was still shocking to see Giles annihte everyone from the Beast Blood Sect within such a short span of time. ¡°Rex, you¡¯re here. You can handle the rest.¡± Giles pointed to the bodies on the floor. Hearing that, Rex put his thoughts aside and turned extremely serious. The Beast Blood Sect actually appeared in Yin City. He was the Commander of the City Guards. He had to find out the reason for their appearance and eliminate them. As he was thinking this, the City Guards also rushed over. They had just arrived when they saw the corpses of the Epic-rank ferocious beasts on the ground. They gasped and looked at Rex in shock. ¡°I can¡¯t believe Sir Rex is so powerful. He killed the members of the Beast Blood Sect so quickly.¡± ¡°Yeah, what¡¯s more, the other party are Epic-rank beasts. I think Sir Rex is about to break through to be a Legend-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Could he have already achieved a breakthrough? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?¡± ¡°Look at that gori spirit beast. It must be the Epic-rank spirit beast that Sir Rex just contracted. It seems to be reaching the Legend rank soon.¡± ¡­ Rex blushed when he heard these words. ¡°What nonsense are you guys spouting? This is all Giles¡¯ doing.¡± Upon hearing this, the soldiers stared at Giles in shock. After all, in their eyes, Giles was just an ordinary Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Yet now, he had actually killed a few Epic-rank ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. It was unbelievable. However, the next moment, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body became smaller, and then it went straight to Giles. The soldiers were dumbfounded. They did not expect this terrifying spirit beast to be Giles. Seeing how young Giles looked and how he already had the strength of an Epic-rank beast, they all clicked their tongues. At the same time, while they were in shock, Giles had already told Rex the purpose of the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s visit. ¡°For that stone beast?¡± Rex¡¯s brows knitted together. ¡°After this, I¡¯m going to investigate the Beast Blood Sect in the city. Don¡¯t let your guard down for the time being,¡± Rex instructed Giles. Then, he saw Henry standing not far away. ¡°Henry, the son of the President of the Langtry Chamber of Commerce?¡± ¡°Why is he here?¡± ¡°Is he with the Beast Blood Sect?¡± Henry hurriedly exined, ¡°Sir Rex, I¡¯m a good person. I have nothing to do with them!¡± Rex¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°Regardless of whether you¡¯re rted to them or not, you have toe with me first.¡± Upon hearing this, Henry was on the verge of tears. He initially wanted to teach Giles a lesson. Unexpectedly, he was now about to get himself dragged in. Hearing Rex¡¯s words, Giles looked at Henry. The Langtry Chamber of Commerce was second only to the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. No wonder Henry wanted to court Elena. However, that had nothing to do with Giles. Rex ordered his men to carry away the bodies of the Beast Blood Sect members. He then left Starlux Gym after bidding Giles goodbye. ¡°Looks like the days ahead won¡¯t be peaceful.¡± Giles thought about his experiences over the past few days. Then, he returned to his quarters. He wanted to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, a group of spirit beast cubs ran over and gathered by his side, staring at him. It was obvious that they wanted him to tell them a story. Giles sighed helplessly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll tell you a story now.¡± ¡°Let me think about what story I should tell you.¡± Giles pondered for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you this story then.¡± Giles thought of the famous story from the huge country in the East in his previous life, Journey to the West. There were many chapters in this story. It was enough to deal with these spirit beasts for a long time. Then, under the expectant gazes of the spirit beasts, Giles slowly started speaking. ¡°The main character of this story is a monkey. No, to be more precise, it¡¯s a stone.¡± ¡°Amidst the endless sea is a country called Ai Country. There is a mountain nearby called the Flower Fruit Mountain.¡± ¡°At the highest point of this mountain, there is a stone that absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon every day.¡± ¡°On this day, the stone suddenly cracked and turned into a monkey that roamed around the forest.¡± ¡­ This story was far from what the previous stories couldpare with. The spirit beasts listened in fascination. They were surprised that the rock had turned into a monkey, and their eyes were filled with shock. Giles¡¯ story continued. ¡°The monkey became the king of the monkeys and was called the Monkey King.¡± ¡°On this day, in order to seek the way to Longevity, the monkey nned to go out to sea to search for Immortals and seek the powers of immortals. ¡°In the end, he came to the Cave of the nting Moon and Three Stars and became the disciple of Patriarch Subodhi. He was given the name ¡®Sun Wukong¡¯ and began to learn the power of immortals.¡± The scene changed. All the spirit beasts saw that the Monkey King, who was called Sun Wukong, started to train his powers. With a single leap, it could travel thousands of miles. It could change its appearance instantly by using his powers. The spirit beasts listened in fascination. They were extremely envious of Sun Wukong¡¯s ability. On the other hand, while Giles was narrating, he noticed that there were no spirit beasts that resonated with the story. Could it be that this story did not match them??Giles thought to himself. Suddenly, he realized that a stone in the spirit-beast section was shaking. It was the stone beast that Giles had brought back. It was also the target of the Beast Blood Sect. Does it resonate with this story? Giles sensed his own spiritual power and discovered that the beast¡¯s spiritual power had entered the story world. As he narrated, it experienced Sun Wukong¡¯s story. ¡°Sun Wukong learned skills that allowed him to go up to heaven or down to Hades. Then, he returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.¡± Giles stopped there. ¡°There¡¯s more, but I¡¯ll tell you guys tomorrow.¡± It was getting dark. Giles stopped his narrative. Then, he approached the stone beast curiously and examined it. What will this thing evolve into? Will it jump out of a rock like Sun Wukong? Giles thought to himself. However, Giles didn¡¯t think too much about it. Giles got the Three-headed Hellhound to guard this ce before going to sleep. Late at night. Following a slight sound, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the rock. The Three-Headed Hellhound heard the sound and looked around warily. After finding nothing strange, ity on the ground and closed its eyes again. As for that stone ferocious beast, an indescribable change began to ur within it. Yin City. After Giles had annihted the members of the Beast Blood Sect, Rex also began to thoroughly investigate the members of the Beast Blood Sect who were in the city. Within a short period, he actually found many strongholds of the Beast Blood Sect, and then directly uprooted them. Meanwhile, because of Henry, many people in Yin City became aware of the process of Giles¡¯ annihtion of the Beast Blood Sect. In the end, the rumors became more and more ridiculous. They actually said that Starlux Gym had a Legend-rank Beast Tamer, which was why Starlux Gym could avert the crisis. This caused many people to run to Starlux Gym, wanting to see that Legend-rank Beast Tamer. Giles took a long time to exin before they left. Giles didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry at this, but he was also relieved. After all, the Beast Blood Sect had targeted him previously. At the very least, he didn¡¯t have to worry about them for the time being. Giles wasn¡¯t afraid, but it was still troublesome. At this moment, he was evaluating Alina¡¯s sister, Annie, to be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Her Silver-rank Green-tailed Cat had already advanced to the Gold rank. A whileter¡­ As the Swan Beast activated its Wind Wings skill, a violent gale swept across the entire arena. Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat was defeated. However, she had also passed the Gold-rank Beast Tamer evaluation. Of course, this was because Giles did not get serious. The Swan Beast did not use its innate skill, Wings Transformation. After using Wings Transformation, the Swan Beast¡¯s battle prowess would instantly soar. It could even reach the strength of an Epic-rank spirit beast. This was something that no one could stop. He got off the arena. Alina rubbed Annie¡¯s head. ¡°Annie is also a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now. Not bad.¡± Annie said nothing. She cautiously nced at Giles, then quickly turned her gaze away. Seeing this, Alina¡¯s eyes darted between Giles and Annie. She felt like her sister was falling for Giles. Although it was just a spection, the sixth sense that girls had made her firmly believe in this matter. At this thought, Alina suddenly felt a sense of dejection. However, she rxed soon after. After all, she would not be able to live for long. ¡°Legend-rank Beast Tamer, Master Giles, seems like the Gym Tournament ising up in a few days. Now that Gym Leader Alice is not around, are you going to participate?¡±Alina went over to Giles and joked. Upon hearing this, Giles scratched his head. ¡°What Legend-rank Beast Tamer? It¡¯s just a rumor.¡± ¡°And what¡¯s that about the Gym Tournament? Isn¡¯t the Gym Tournament a few months away?¡± Alina looked surprised to hear this. ¡°The Gym Tournament has been brought forward. You actually didn¡¯t know?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles smiled awkwardly. ¡°I really didn¡¯t notice that. If you hadn¡¯t reminded me, I would have missed it.¡± ¡°Although Gym Leader Alice isn¡¯t here, I still have to participate.¡± The Gym Tournament. It was a tournament between gyms in the region. Although it was supposed to be for exchange of experience between the gyms in name, in actuality, it was for the sake ofpeting for the resources allocated by the Beast Tamer Association. As official organizations under the Beast Tamer Association, the resources for each Beast-taming gym were all distributed by the Beast Tamer Association. However, this couldn¡¯t possibly be divided equally, and it was determined by the rankings of the gyms. Thus, during the Gym Tournament that was held once every three years, all the gyms worked hard to fight for a good ranking. This year, Gym Leader Alice was not around, so only Giles could attend. However, as Giles looked at the few spirit beasts he had contracted, he was filled with confidence. After returning from Grant Forest, Giles had bought a lot of resources that the spirit beasts needed to evolve. His spirit beasts had also made significant improvements. After chatting for a while, Alina received a message and left with Annie. Giles reached the spirit-beast section and scrutinised the stone beast. Ever since he told the spirit beasts the story of the Great Sage Sun Wukong, this stone beast had resonated with the story. However, a day had already passed, but apart from a tiny crack on the surface, there was still no movement. Could this be the uniqueness of a quasi Legend-rank beast? Had he not clearly sensed that this beast had resonated with the story, Giles would have thought that his story was ineffective against this beast. Giles was not worried that this beast would harm him after its evolution. This was because Giles had found some information on this kind of ferocious beast ever since he came back. It was a rare stone beast. When it was young, it would be in the shape of a stone. After it grew up, it would transform into a random shape of a ferocious beast. It was a very magical ferocious beast. When it received fatal damage, a piece of stone would break away from its body. This stone was equivalent to a descendant. Therefore, he was facing a ferocious beast cub. Giles felt that he could handle it. While Giles was thinking this, the numerous spirit beasts had already arrived beside him. They looked at him eagerly and pestered him to tell them stories. Moreover, they had explicitly asked to hear the story of the Great Sage Sun Wukong. This story was different from other stories. It was very long. This caused the spirit beasts to look forward to the continuation of the story. Giles looked at them resignedly. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I¡¯ll tell you a story right now.¡± With that said, Giles cast a nce at the stone spirit beast before continuing his story. ¡°After Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, he learned of the miserable state of the monkeys and came straight to the cave of the Demon King of Confusion. ¡°Facing Sun Wukong, who was full of immortal powers, the Demon King of Confusion was defeated by Sun Wukong.¡± ¡°After that, Sun Wukong unified Flower Fruit Mountain and became known as the Great Sage, Heaven¡¯s Equal!¡± ¡°But this action attracted the Heavenly Court¡¯s attention.¡± ¡­ The story continued, and as it did, Giles noticed the unusual changes of the stone beast. At that moment, inside that stone, a blurry consciousness began to gradually strengthen. It felt like it had arrived in a strange world. It had lived in a small space since its birth. It wanted to break out of this ce. It wanted to see the outside world. Finally, one day, it broke out of the shell that was wrapped around it. It jumped out and curiously observed the outside world. It came to theke and saw itself. It was a monkey. It joined the group of monkeys and became the Monkey King. It wanted to live forever, so it came to a ce called the Cave of the nting Moon and Three Stars to seek immortality. It learned its abilities and could transform into anything. ¡­ Just like that, it became the Sun Wukong in the story and experienced everything Sun Wukong went through first hand. ¡°Sun Wukong single-handedly attacked the Heavenly Court. He was unstoppable!¡± ¡°Even the Master of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, was knocked off his throne by Sun Wukong.¡± ¡°This was the most glorious moment in Sun Wukong¡¯s life!¡± ¡­ Giles stopped there and ended the story. There wasn¡¯t any story of Sun Wukong in this world, so he could stop here. In Giles¡¯ view, this was the most memorable moment in Sun Wukong¡¯s life, but what awaited him was endless suffering, so it was better not to tell this group of spirit beasts. At the same time, just after Giles ended the story, the stone beast¡¯s consciousness had already left the world of stories. It felt something restraining it. It thought of the experiences in the story world. It wanted to break through the restraints. As this thought appeared in its mind, the stone¡¯s exterior began to crack open. Boom! With a loud bang, the stone exploded and a monkey with yellow fur jumped out. Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Alice: Another Gym with the Same Name!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Yorkshire City, Hengduan Mountain Range. Alice was exploring the surroundings with the other Epic-rank Beast Tamers. After receiving the news from the Beast Tamer Association a few days ago, Alice came here directly. Mythic-rank Beast. It represented the top power in this world. Now that a Mythic-rank beast had appeared, the Beast Tamer Association naturally could not sit still. It would be fine if this Mythic-rank beast had a contract with someone, but if it was a ferocious beast that grew in the wilderness, that was undoubtedly a terrifying thing for humans. A beast that had reached the Mythic rank possessed terrifying strength.. If this Mythic-rank beast was hostile towards humans, the consequences would be unimaginable. On the other hand, the Beast Blood Sect was also eyeing this Mythic-rank beast. Naturally, the Beast Tamer Association would not let them seed. ¡°Everyone, perk up! We¡¯re going to face the legendary Mythic-rank beast!¡± Alice, who was the leader of this expedition team, reminded everyone. ¡°How can it be so easy to encounter a Mythic-rank beast? Alice, you¡¯re too cautious.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We don¡¯t even know if there is any Mythic-rank beast yet. Maybe it¡¯s just a rumor.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about? The Beast Tamer Association must have verified it. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have gotten us toe over.¡± For a moment, the originally quiet group seemed to have opened a topic as they discussed animatedly. Seeing this, Alice shook her head without saying anything. These people had been exploring for several days. They had not rested for long today, yet they were asked to set off again. Naturally, they felt a little resentful. Just then, Alice suddenly felt a vibration on the ground. It was as if a giant creature was rapidly approaching. ¡°Prepare for battle! A ferocious beast has appeared!¡± Alice shouted. Her Epic-rank spirit beast, the Giant Golden Eagle, was already prepared for battle and stared fixedly at the forest in front of it. At the same time, the other Beast Tamers also went on guard. One had to know that everyone present was a Beast Tamer who often moved around in the wilderness. None of them were good-for-nothings. They immediately had their spirit beasts prepare for battle. The next moment, a group of ferocious beasts rushed out from the mountain forest. Alice heaved a sigh of relief when she got a clear look at them. ¡°It¡¯s a pack of Green Wood Wolves. They¡¯re just Gold ranks.¡± The other Beast Tamers also let their guard down. After all, everyone present was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Just as everyone was preparing to get rid of these beasts¡­ The Green Wood Wolf leading the pack actually spoke, ¡°The people from the Beast Tamer Association actually found this ce?¡± Upon hearing this, Alice¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Legend-rank beast!¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. You guys are from the Beast Blood Sect?¡± The Green Wood Wolf, who was leading the pack, shot Alice a baleful nce. ¡°The little girl has a good eye.¡± His voice was deep and hoarse like a demon from hell. ¡°Since you¡¯ve found this ce, you can all stay here.¡± Following that, a blood-red glow appeared on the Green Wood Wolf¡¯s body. The bodies of all the beasts behind it also radiated a blood-red glow. Then, the Gold-rank ferocious beasts gradually broke through to the Epic-rank. ¡°It¡¯s the Blood Ignition Technique of the Beast Blood Sect!¡± When Alice saw this, she knew in her heart that the odds were against them. The Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Ignition Technique could burn the blood essence of ferocious beasts to forcefully increase their strength. Now, all the beasts in front of them had used the Blood Ignition Technique, and all of them had reached the Epic rank. ¡°Quickly break out of the encirclement, don¡¯t continue fighting!¡± In the face of such a perilous situation, Alice did not panic. On the battlefield, the Beast Tamers and the ferocious beasts had already started fighting. However, as soon as they came into contact with it, many of the Beast Tamer¡¯s spirit beasts were killed. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to escape. Just be obedient and wait for your death!¡± The Green Wood Wolf, who was leading the pack, smiled sinisterly andmanded the other beasts to attack the Beast Tamers. Soon, ferocious beasts got close to some Beast Tamers. Facing off against Epic-rank beasts, they had no means of fighting back. They were killed by the beasts after letting out a tragic cry. Seeing this scene, Alice could not get there in time to save them. At the same time, some Beast Tamers thought of riding their flying spirit beasts to escape through the sky. However, before they could fly high, a wind de came attacking and killed those Beast Tamers. Some of the Beast Tamers who had escaped this cmity had just heaved a sigh of relief when they lost all hope upon seeing numerous ferocious beasts in the sky. These were the beasts that the people from the Beast Blood Sect had turned into. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about leaving. Everyone here must die!¡± a Vulture said in humannguage before attacking. Just then¡­ A figure appeared out of nowhere and warded off the Vulture¡¯s attack. ¡°Is that so?¡± Alice killed an attacking beast and looked over. That person was an elderly man wearing a gray robe who was currently flying in the air. Alice knew him. He was an elder in the Beast Tamer Association, a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. After reaching the Legend rank, Beast Tamers could fuse with beast souls and possess the power of spirit beasts. This elder of the Beast Tamer Association was the same. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect so many people from the Beast Blood Sect toe.¡± The elderly man¡¯s gaze swept across all the beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. Then, he waved his hands, and an endless storm appeared out of nowhere. A chill that seemed to freeze souls enveloped all the ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. The next moment, the storm stopped. The ferocious beasts were sealed in ice blocks. Then, the ice shattered and the beasts within crumbled as well. With one strike, he finished off all his enemies. This was the strength of a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. The elderly man walked up to Alice and the others. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Beast Blood Sect to arrive so quickly.¡± You guys go back and rest first. I¡¯ll go deeper to take a look. After saying this, the elder vanished from everyone¡¯s sight, as if he had never appeared before. Upon seeing this, Alice¡¯s eyes lit up. This elderly man had contracted an Ice Bird. When it evolved into a Legend-rank, it had obtained the Power of Ice and the Power of Space. At this thought, Alice nced at her Epic-rank spirit beast, the Giant Golden Eagle. She could not help but look forward to the day she became a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. With this thought in mind, Alice and the others returned to the camp. There were many injured Beast Tamers in the camp. They had all run into the Beast Blood Sect. ¡°I heard that the Beast Blood Sect is looking for Legend-rank spirit beasts everywhere. I didn¡¯t expect that they would still have their eyes on Mythic-rank Beasts.¡± ¡°God knows what they¡¯re thinking. Sooner orter we¡¯ll destroy this bunch of inhuman things.¡± ¡°By the way, have you heard? It¡¯s said that the Beast Blood Sect attacked a gym two days ago.¡± ¡°What? Which gym was it?¡± Upon hearing this, Alice began to worry about the gym. After all, not many gyms could withstand the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s attack. ¡°I think it was called Starlux Gym.¡± Upon hearing this, Alice¡¯s face turned pale. She thought of Giles who was in the gym. Could Giles have¡­ Alice did not dare to think further. Just then, the conversation reached her again. ¡°This gym is extremely powerful. It¡¯s said that a Legend-rank Beast Tamer killed a few Epic-rank beasts from the Beast Blood Sect.¡± ¡­ Hearing this, Alice patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. Legend-rank Beast Tamer wiped out the Beast Blood Sect and killed a few Epic-rank ferocious beasts. Giles definitely can¡¯t do all these. He¡¯s just a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer. This Starlux Gym is definitely another gym with the same name! Chapter 30

Chapter 30: The Beginning of the Gym Tournament

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Inside the Starlux Gym. Giles wasn¡¯t aware of the Gym Leader Alice¡¯s reaction. At that moment, he was staring at the spirit beast in front of him. It was a monkey that was about a meter tall. ¡°Master, why are you staring at me?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles fell silent. This monkey had popped out of that rock. As soon as it came out, it established a contract with Giles. . At the same time, unlike other spirit beasts, this spirit beast knew how to talk the moment it came out. At first, Giles thought that it had directly evolved into a Legend-rank beast. This was because spirit beasts could only speak the humannguage after evolving to the Legend rank. However, only after Giles carefully sensed it did he realize that the monkey in front of him was only at the Gold rank. However, the strength of this spirit beast could not be underestimated. There was a tremendous amount of power hidden within its small body. It was not at all disadvantaged even when facing the King Kong Beast. Other than that, it also awakened two innate skills. Form Transformation: Can transform into any form Somersault Cloud: Travel extremely quickly in the designated direction The ¡®Form Transformation¡¯ skill was equivalent to Sun Wukong¡¯s 72 Transformations. He could change into any appearance he had ever seen, and could also transform into a human form. On the other hand, Somersault Cloud was rather formidable as well, and it was equivalent to teleportation. Even though the distance travelled wasn¡¯t very far, when paired with its terrifying strength, it was sufficient to exert a great deal of power. It could only be said that it was indeed a ferocious beast that was about to evolve to the Legend rank. He looked at the few spirit beasts that he had contracted. Giles was filled with confidence about the uing Gym Tournament. With the extraordinary abilities of these few spirit beasts, no one below the Legend rank was their match! Giles¡¯ lips curved in an expectant smile. ¡°I can¡¯t wait for the Gym Tournament.¡± ¡­ The next day. The Gym Tournament began as scheduled. The tournament was held in a city next to Yin City, nge City. As the central city of Florida, every Gym Tournament was held here. Giles rode the swan beast early in the morning and left the gym to rush to the tournament venue in nge City. Beside him was a five or six year old child whom Sun Wukong had transformed into. Sun Wukong was the name of that monkey spirit beast. It had strongly requested for that, so Giles let it be. The people of nge City were very enthusiastic about this tournament. At this moment, the road from Fn City to thepetition grounds became unusually crowded. Almost everyone in the city was rushing towards thepetition grounds. Fortunately, Giles was flying in the air, so he didn¡¯t have to deal with the packed crowd. Arriving at the perimeter of the venue, Giles found that the ce waspletely surrounded. A sea of people greeted his eyes. Giles was surprised to see this. Unexpectedly, it was even more popr than the previous Gym Tournament. However, this was normal as it was a Gym Tournament that was held once every three years. Although it was only a battle between gyms, every tournament was an eye-opener, so it was not surprising for it to have such influence. Bearing the proof of his gym, Giles was ushered to the preparation area of the tournament venue by the staff. At that moment, quite a number of gyms had already arrived. With the arrival of these people, the originally quiet tournament preparation area instantly became lively. The hall was filled with noisy chatter. Giles also studied the people around him. After all, these people were his opponents on this trip. Just then, two people from the gyms caught Giles¡¯ attention. They were the Irnd Gym and the Victor Gym. The reason why he noticed them was because these two gyms were enemies of Starlux Gym. From the time of the previous gym leader until now, there would always be friction with these two gyms during the Gym Tournaments. As time passed, every Gym Tournament would be full of open fighting and covert maneuvers, resulting in the three gyms fighting for real. In this Gym Tournament, Giles was certain that these two gyms would definitely not let him off. Sure enough, just as Giles was thinking this, the person from Irnd Gym was momentarily stunned when he saw Giles. Then, heughed. That person then walked over to the member from the Victor Gym and pointed to Giles as he said something. After which, they both burst outughing. Subsequently, the two of them started walking towards Giles. Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. The man from the Irnd Gym walked over to Giles and said, ¡°Giles, where¡¯s your gym leader? Why isn¡¯t she here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, I remember that you can only control bronze-rank spirit beasts. Are you representing Starlux Gym in the tournament?¡± ¡°You brought a child to the tournament? Are you here on vacation?¡± Giles did not take what he heard to heart at all. Giles recognized the two people in front of him. They were disciples of their gyms and were Epic-rank Beast Tamers. When he came with Gym Leader Alice for the previous tournament, they were the ones who had participated in the tournament. In the end, Alice had taught them a good lesson. Now that Gym Leader Alice could not make it back, they naturally came to mock Giles, who in their eyes, could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts. Seeing that Giles was ignoring them, the two men¡¯s faces darkened. Then, they smiled sinisterly and said, ¡°Hmph, see you in the arena.¡± ¡°See you in the arena? He¡¯s probably going to be eliminated in the first round.¡± Giles smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯ll see you in the arena.¡± Seeing this, the two of them snorted and left. At this moment, there were already contestants entering the venue. Thementator announced the contestants¡¯ gyms and their names. The cheers from the audience grew louder. ¡°The next to enter is Jameson from the Bruce Gym!¡± As soon as thementator finished his sentence, the audience erupted into an uproar. ¡°Jameson? The genius who advanced to be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be the onepeting for Bruce Gym.¡± ¡­ Everyone in the audience looked at the figure on the stage with fervent eyes that were filled with envy. He became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18. His future was limitless. As thementator continued to announce the names of the contestants and their gym, the audience¡¯s enthusiasm grew! ¡°Robert! The pride of nge Gym. It¡¯s said that he became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer a year ago.¡± ¡°Anna from Frank Gym has hunted ferocious beasts in the wilderness numerous times and is extremely experienced inbat. It is said that she has also be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the strength of the gyms participating in this tournament to be so powerful.¡± ¡°Yeah, even Gold-rank Beast Tamers aren¡¯t good enough.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If one only has the ability of a Gold rank, there¡¯s really no need to participate in the tournament.¡± ¡­ When the audience saw the contestants from the various gyms, they began discussing. This was because this batch of young Beast Tamers was much stronger than the previous batch. The audience could not help but be curious. In this Gym Tournament, which gym will have thestugh? Chapter 31

Chapter 31: First Victory

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the venue of the Gym Tournament, the spectators were in high spirits. This kind of opportunity to watch so many talented Beast Tamerpete was notmon. Thementator continued to announce the names of the contestants and their gym, the loudspeaker equipment ced around the venue allowed everyone to hear him clearly. Soon, it was Giles¡¯ turn. ¡°Next up is Giles from Starlux Gym.¡± As thementator spoke, Giles slowly walked into the arena. As the audience looked at Giles, many of them looked puzzled. As one of the top few contestants in the previous Gym Tournament, the audience was naturally familiar with Starlux Gym.. But who is Giles? A new disciple of Starlux Gym? ¡°What the hell is Starlux Gym doing? Why isn¡¯t Alice here?¡± ¡°What are you thinking? Alice took over the position of Gym Leader of Starlux Gymst year. This must be her disciple.¡± ¡°If Alice is so powerful, then her disciple is probably not simple either.¡± Just then, an audience who had been to Yin City recognized Giles. ¡°Wait, don¡¯t jump to conclusions yet.¡± ¡°This Giles is just a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°What?! Bronze-rank Beast Tamer? You must be kidding!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not kidding. He¡¯s a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer. Many people in Yin City know this.¡± ¡°Ah, this¡­ a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer is also participating in the Gym Tournament?¡± ¡°What is Gym Leader Alice thinking? Is Starlux Gym going to be thest ce this time?¡± ¡­ The audience was discussing fervently. The audience had a deep impression of Starlux Gym in all their hearts. This was because from the first time Alice represented Starlux Gym up till thest Gym Tournament, although she had never won the championship, her performance had always been outstanding. Yet now, a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer was actually representing Starlux Gym in the tournament. This was simply incredulous to the audience. However, this had nothing to do with them. The audience could onlyment that Starlux Gym might end up inst ce. On the other hand, Giles had also run into some trouble. ¡°Mr Giles, the tournament arena is too dangerous. We will take care of this child for you.¡± When the staff saw Giles entering with Sun Wukong who was in human form, they immediately came to stop him. ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, but this is my spirit beast,¡± Giles exined with a smile. Sun Wukong also rolled its eyes at the staff member and said, ¡°Have you never seen a human-shaped spirit beast before?¡± With that, it followed Giles into the arena. The staff thought that Giles was spouting nonsense and wanted to stop him, but he suddenly had a frightening spection. He stared at Sun Wukong with eyes full of fear. ¡°Could that be a Legend-rank spirit beast?¡± This was because only spirit beasts that had reached the Legend rank could possess the ability to transform into a human form. The staff member muttered under his breath, ¡°Legend-rank spirit beast. Oh my God, it¡¯s actually a Legend-rank spirit beast¡­¡± Needless to say, Giles was unaware of the staff¡¯s reaction. At that moment, he had already reached thepetition grounds. ¡°Are you sure that you, a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer, wants to participate?¡± ¡°Hehe, look, he even brought a child with him. He must be treating this tournament as a game.¡± The contestants from Irnd Gym and Victor Gymughed when they saw Giles arrive. Upon hearing this, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding contestants. They all looked at Giles curiously. Even Jameson, Robert, and Anna also nced at Giles, but they didn¡¯t say anything. If that was really the strength of the Bronze-rank Beast Tamer, there was no need for them to continue paying attention. The only ones worthy of their attention were the few famous Beast Tamers. They didn¡¯t care about anyone else. Seeming to have thought of the same thing , their eyes met and sparks flew. Naturally, Giles heard their discussion but he didn¡¯t take it to heart. Abilities will speak for themselves! Soon, the entrance ceremony ended. As thest person entered, the tournament officially began. ¡°All the contestants are in position. I will now announce the rules of the tournament.¡± Thementator cleared his throat and signaled for everyone to remain quiet as he announced the rules of the tournament The rules of the tournament this time were very simple. The contestants would draw lots to battle and advance to the next rank each time, eventually determining the champion! After thementator finished giving the introduction, a huge projection appeared in the air. All the names of the gyms appeared on the projection. There were a total of 128 gyms. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, the system will now randomly select the battle name list for the first knockout round. Please wait and see!¡± As thementator¡¯s voice faded, the names of the first matchup slowly appeared. Starlux Gym vs Irnd Gym. The contestant from the Irnd Gym was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Even though he was not as famous as the other genius Beast Tamers, he was still considered one of the stronger contestants. As for Giles, who represented Starlux Gym, he was only a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer in the eyes of the spectators. In the spectator¡¯s view, there was a huge disparity in their strength, but it tied in with their expectations. This was because the random selection wasn¡¯t really random. There were official considerations. Every contestant had to be officiallybeled as strong or weak. Even if the officials knew that Giles¡¯ true identity was a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, he was still the weakest in the batchpared to the other Epic-rank Beast Tamers. At the start, strong yers wouldn¡¯t meet other strong yers. This was to ensure the uracy of the tournament rankings as much as possible, so as to prevent any extreme situations from urring. If the strongpeted against each other in the early stages, it would undoubtedly affect the true rankings. It would also be unfair to the strong contestants. This was also something that the spectators did not wish to see. Because of this, even though the officials had taken action in secret, many of the spectators were well aware of it but did not criticize them and even supported them. Rankings based on luck would only make people despise them. At the same time, the other groupings had alsoe out. The battle of each group began. Just as Giles stepped into the arena¡­ ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you in the first round. I can eliminate you and let you take care of the child in peace.¡± Michael, who was the contestant from the Irnd Gym, mocked. Then, he summoned his spirit beast. Gold-rank spirit beast, Fiery Dog. He didn¡¯t take Giles seriously at all and didn¡¯t even summon his Epic-rank beast. Seeing this scene, Giles smiled and did not speak. He summoned the Swan Beast. ¡°Swan Beast, use your Wind Wings and defeat it.¡± Michael¡¯s expression changed drastically upon seeing the Swan Beast that Giles had summoned. However, before he could react, his spirit beast was defeated by the Swan Beast. Michael was inplete disbelief when he saw this. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer?¡± Giles raised an eyebrow. ¡°I never said that.¡± Upon hearing this, Michael¡¯s face turned ashen, knowing that he had underestimated his opponent. As he thought, he let out his Epic-rank spirit beast, Rock Elephant. ¡°I was too careless just now. Let¡¯s see how you win this time!¡± The battle adopted the ¡®best of three¡¯ format. Michael had already lost one round. Right now, he could not afford to lose a single match. With this thought in mind, he stared intently at Giles. However, Giles didn¡¯t know what Michael was thinking. He recalled the Swan Beast and summoned the King Kong Beast. ¡°King Kong Beast, use Giantize and win with one strike!¡± Then, to Michael¡¯s horror, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body grew to ten meters tall, and its aura also grew stronger. Then, it charged towards Michael¡¯s Rock Elephant. It threw a punch! When the punchnded on the Rock Elephant, it instantly let out a shrill cry before losing its ability to fight. Giles won and advanced to the next round! Chapter 32

Chapter 32: The First to Advance

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the arena. Michael stared at the spirit beast with incredulity in his eyes. ¡°No, that¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Your spirit beast is only at the Gold rank. How can it defeat my Epic-rank spirit beast?¡± Giles cast a nce at him. ¡°That¡¯s just what you think is impossible..¡± After saying this, Giles recalled his spirit beast and jumped off the arena with Sun Wukong. Only Michael was left standing in the arena, his face deathly pale. At the same time, the spectators who noticed this arena were all shocked when they saw that the final victor was actually Giles. ¡°Who said that he¡¯s a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer? Which Bronze-rank Beast Tamer can defeat an Epic-rank Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°I watched Giles¡¯ battle the entire time just now. The two spirit beasts he summoned are both Gold-rank spirit beasts. They probably used some kind of innate skill to defeat their opponents in one strike.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Other than the explosion of their innate skill, there¡¯s no other exnation. But the side effects of such powerful innate skills are most definitely very serious. I am certain that he will have to stop at this point.¡± The spectators discussed and came to this conclusion. Most of their spections were correct, but they did not know that the King Kong Beast¡¯s Giantize skill did not have any side effects! On the other hand, Roy from the Victor Gym was shocked when he learned that Giles had won the match. However, his thoughts were the same as the spectators. In his heart, Giles was no threat even if he was at the Gold rank. His opponents were the few genius Beast Tamers. Roy turned his gaze to the side. There, he saw Jameson, Robert, and Anna. If he wanted to win, he would have to face them! Roy¡¯s eyes were full of mes as he looked at them. That me was called Battle Will! At the same time, as they were battles between the strong and the weak, the battles of the other groups ended one after another. Half of the gyms were eliminated. The contestants who had advanced had happiness written all over their faces, while the losers dejectedly went over to the spectator seats to watch the uing battles. The uing battles had nothing more to do with them. Without much exnation, thementator said a few words to moderate the atmosphere. After everyone¡¯s spirit beasts had a rest, the second knockout round began. The names on the big screen began to jump. A whileter¡­ Giles¡¯ opponent was determined once again. Starlux Gym vs Victor Gym! When the spectators in the arena saw this scene, they started discussing fervently. ¡°Giles is up against another Epic-rank Beast Tamer. I just watched the battle of that Epic-rank Beast Tamer. He¡¯s very experienced. Giles will definitely lose this time.¡± ¡°Is there a need for you to analyze it in such a serious manner? In the previous round, Giles merely used the innate skill of his spirit beast to win by a fluke.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If he faces another Epic-rank Beast Tamer now, he will definitely lose.¡± ¡­ As the spectators were discussing, Giles and the Victor Gym¡¯s contestant, Roy, were already in the arena. Without spouting any nonsense, Roy summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, Netherworld Serpent. Even though he had mocked Giles previously, he knew that this was not a reason for him to be careless. After all, Michael¡¯s oue was right there for all to see. On the other side, Giles summoned the Swan Beast. The Netherworld Serpent on the other side was highly toxic. Although the King Kong Beast could guarantee a one-hit kill, Giles was still worried. It was much better to let the Swan Beast fight. ¡°Swan Beast, use your innate skill, Wings Transformation!¡± Immediately, following Gilesmand, a sh of light radiated from the Swan Beast and condensed beside its wings. The next moment, a new pair of wings appeared! The Four-Winged Swan Beast appeared! At the same time, the aura on its body also amplified. Itsbat ability wasparable to an Epic-rank spirit beast! Seeing this scene, Roy¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Netherworld Serpent, use Venom Spray!¡± Upon hearing the order, the Netherworld Serpent opened its mouth and a ck liquid shot towards the Swan Beast like a sharp sword. ¡°Swan Beast, dodge! Fly into the air and use Wind Wings!¡± The Swan Beast instantly rose into the air and easily dodged the Netherworld Serpent¡¯s venom attack. Then, it followed Giles¡¯ instructions and used its Wind Wings skill. Immediately afterward, the two pairs of wings pped rapidly and a violent gale swept towards the Netherworld Serpent in the arena. The next moment, the Netherworld Serpent was struck, and it drifted along with the gale. A few breathster, it fainted and lost its ability to fight. Seeing this scene, Roy¡¯s eyes were filled with disbelief like those of Michael¡¯s. ¡°How is this possible! Your Gold-rank spirit beast like you actually has an innate skill as well and it even increasesbat strength!¡± Upon hearing this, Giles said nothing. He can¡¯t possibly tell him that every spirit beast of his was a freak, can he? At the same time, the audience watching the battle was shocked. ¡°No way, Gilesactually has a second skill with innate skills?¡± ¡°Oh my God, he defeated another Epic-rank spirit beast. Unbelievable.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure that Giles will not go any further. How many spirit beasts can actually have this kind of innate skill that can increasebat power?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. He¡¯s lucky enough to be able to contract two such spirit beasts.¡± ¡­ The spectators started discussing. Naturally, Giles and Roy were unaware. Looking at the four-winged Swan Beast, Roy felt extremely uneasy. Even if he wanted to stall for time, he couldn¡¯t do it because this wasn¡¯t allowed in thepetition. Moreover, what terrified Roy the most was that Giles¡¯ spirit beast seemed to still be able to go on for a long time. Not to mention that he no longer had a second Epic-rank spirit beast, but even if he did, he probably wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat Giles. Roy sighed. He could only try. ¡°Come out, Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle!¡± The next moment, a Bald Eagle with a blood-colored aura appeared in the sky. Judging from its aura, it was a Gold-rank spirit beast. ¡°Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle, use your skill, Bloodthirst!¡± The next moment, the blood-red color on the Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle¡¯s body became extremely thick in an instant. Even Giles could smell the blood. With a sudden shrill, the blood-colored fog around the Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle dissipated and it advanced to the Epic rank. Seeing this scene, the spectators immediately eximed. ¡°Roy from Victor Gym actually also has a spirit beast that can increasebat strength.¡± ¡°Yes, I thought that victory and defeat would be decided. I didn¡¯t expect Roy to summon such a spirit beast.¡± ¡°Next, it¡¯s time to determine the victor.¡± ¡­ In the arena, Roy had already ordered the Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle to attack. The Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle¡¯s current state could onlyst for three minutes. Once the time was up, it would lose its ability to fight. He didn¡¯t know how long Giles¡¯ spirit beast couldst, but it should be about there. Therefore, in Roy¡¯s opinion, as long as he could defeat Giles¡¯ spirit beast, it would basically be a victory. However, it was all in his head. The next moment, Giles¡¯ counterattacked. ¡°Swan Beast, dodge the attack and continue using Wind Wings!¡± Another simr gust of wind swept across the arena. The Bloodthirsty Bald Eagle couldn¡¯t fight back at all and was swept into it. Just like the Netherworld Serpent from before, it lost its ability to fight. At that moment, the oue was decided. Giles advanced once again, and he was the first to advance in this round! Chapter 33

Chapter 33: The Only Gold-rank Beast Tamer in the Top 16

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the tournament venue. The audience were extremely shocked when they looked at Giles¡¯ arena. Giles won again! The audience, who thought that Giles would lose, felt an invisible p in their faces. ¡°Giles shouldn¡¯t have any other spirit beast that can increasebat power, right?¡± one of the spectators said warily as he looked at Giles. ¡°Perhaps. However, it is very difficult for his two spirit beasts to advance again.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you eaten enough of your own words? Who knows what Giles will be like in the next match.¡± ¡­ . At that moment, many of the spectators did not dare toment anymore. After all, it was a fact that Giles had won two matches. Who would have thought that a Gold-rank Beast Tamer could defeat two Epic-rank Beast Tamers? At the same time, in the arena, Roy had already snapped out of it. Although he had predicted it previously, the final oue was still unexpected. Giles¡¯ Swan Beast was far more powerful than he had imagined. He gave Giles a long look, before leaping off the arena and walking up to the spectator stand. ¡°Dear audience, as you can see, the winner of this knockout round has been decided!¡± ¡°Contestant Giles defeated two Epic-rank Beast Tamers consecutively. This result is beyond many people¡¯s expectations. I have to say, Contestant Giles is truly amazing!¡± ¡°After these two battles, contestant Giles, a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, directly advanced into the Top 32. Will he be able to continue advancing? Let us look forward to the next battles.¡± Thementator¡¯s voice was loud and it quickly stirred up the emotions of the audience. Immediately, many of the spectators cheered. After all, it was unbelievable that Giles, a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, could directly enter the Top 32. On the other hand, the other groups¡¯ matches were still ongoing. Every group¡¯s battle was extremely intense. More than an hourter, the second knockout round also came to an end. Of the 64 contestants, only 32 remained. Those who could advance to this stage were basically all Epic-rank Beast Tamers. Giles became the only Gold-rank Beast Tamer amongst them. However, the other contestants did not dare to belittle him. It was not just anyone who could defeat two Epic-rank Beast Tamers with Gold-rank spirit beasts. In next to no time, the third knockout round began. This time, Giles¡¯ opponent was a girl named Darcy. Giles got the King Kong Beast to activate its Giantize innate skill right off the bat and obtained victory. This time, it was also Giles who was the first to defeat his opponent and end the battle, This instantly attracted the attention of many spectators. Quite a number of media outlets had also noticed his existence. He had defeated his opponent swiftly and cleanly each time, instantly attracting the attention of many media outlets. Of course, it was because of his identity as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Although they did not think that he could win the championship, just the fact that he was able to defeat Epic-rank Beast Tamers beyond his level was enough to attract everyone¡¯s attention. Soon, the other teams¡¯ matches also ended. Thementator announced the name list for the Top 16. Shockingly, Giles was among them. This also attracted the attention of those contestants who had hopes of winning the championship. Jameson, Robert, and Anna, who were standing near Giles, sized him up. They did not regard Giles as an opponent. After all, none of them were ordinary Epic-rank Beast Tamers. They were very confident in their strength. However, they were all wary of Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast. That was because they keenly noticed that this King Kong Beast seemed to be able to unlimitedly unleash the power of an Epic-rank beast. At the same time, many media outlets in nge City started reporting about Giles¡¯ performance in the tournament. ¡°A Gold-rank spirit beast can defeat an Epic-rank spirit beast!¡± ¡°Who on earth is this unexpected person in the Top 16?¡± ¡°The only Gold-rank Beast Tamer in the Top 16.¡± ¡­ This news quickly spread throughout the entire nge City, and many people heard about the oue of Giles¡¯ battles. They were all shocked when they saw the news. A Gold-rank Beast Tamer defeated three Epic-rank Beast Tamers consecutively? This must be a joke! What kind of monster is this? Even television dramas wouldn¡¯t dare to show something like this. Many people, who did not go to the venue to watch the match, were skeptical, thinking that the media was making false reports. That was until they saw the recording of the tournament. ¡°Oh my god, his King Kong Beast is so terrifying. It can defeat Epic-rank beasts after using its innate skill.¡± ¡°Yeah, and did you guys notice that he let this spirit beast fight twice today? Moreover, the interval between each battle was very short.¡± ¡°Are you saying that the cooldown time for his spirit beast is very short?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Otherwise, it wouldn¡¯t exin his three battles today.¡± ¡°God, that¡¯s terrifying. He won¡¯t take the crown, will he?¡± ¡­ At that moment, Giles didn¡¯t know any of this. After the Top 16 was determined, the tournament ended for the day. To give the contestants enough time to rest, the remaining matches were scheduled for the next day. After Giles extricated himself from the annoying media, he brought Sun Wukong to stroll around nge City. Then, he found a hotel and waited for the tournament to begin the next day. ¡­ On the other hand, in the Hengduan Mountain Range of Yorkshire. A bunch of Beast Tamers were chatting. ¡°I heard that the Gym Tournament this time was brought forward. The Top 16 were selected today.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t even get a signal here. Where did you get the information?¡± ¡°I heard from the person who sent the logistics resources here that the battle was intense.¡± ¡°How was it? How was it? Which gym made it into the Top 16?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know all the Top 16. I only know of one gym that entered the Top 16.¡± Alice was also listening by the side. She couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. ¡°I heard that the gyms that advanced to the Top 16 are all Epic-rank Beast Tamers. Only one of them is a Gold-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°What? Which gym is so lucky to have a Gold-rank Beast Tamer make it into the Top 16?¡± ¡°Luck? Let me tell you, he didn¡¯t rely on luck. He directly defeated three Epic-rank Beast Tamers and advanced to the Top 16.¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s called the Starlux Gym.¡± Alice was stunned when she heard the name of her gym. However, she immediately realized that it couldn¡¯t be her gym. How can she not know Giles¡¯ strength? ¡°Starlux Gym? Isn¡¯t this the gym where the Beast Blood Sect was wiped outst time? The gym that¡¯s said to have a Legend-rank Beast Tamer?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It should be that gym.¡± ¡°Sss, this gym is really terrifying. We must not provoke it in the future.¡± Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Alice was even more convinced of her own thoughts. That is definitely not her gym. Yup, it¡¯s definitely another gym with the same name! Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Meeting Elena Again, Stopping at the Top Eight?

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the trading market of nge City. Giles hadn¡¯t expected to meet Elena here. ¡°Congrattions for advancing to the Top 16 as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, Giles. This has never happened before in the previous Gym Tournaments,¡± Elena said. ¡°Elena, why are you here in nge City? Are you here to watch the Gym Tournament?¡± Giles was puzzled. If Elena was here to watch the Gym Tournament, she would have told him much earlier. ¡°I received news today that the Dragon Blood Grass had appeared here, so I came here straight.¡± Giles nodded at that.. The Dragon Blood Grass was the herb that Elena needed to treat her illness. ¡°Congrattions in advance on winning the championship,¡± Elena winked and said with a smile. She had seen Giles¡¯ true strength at Grant Forest. It was obvious that he would win the championship. Giles smiled and didn¡¯t deny it, because he thought so too. Unless the contestants from the gym had a Legend-rank spirit beast. However, that was impossible. Just then, Elena¡¯s phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it, before smiling apologetically at Giles. ¡°My father¡¯s men found the Dragon Blood Grass. I¡¯ll head over first.¡± Giles nodded. After watching Elena leave, he returned to the hotel to prepare for the tournament tomorrow. ¡­ The next day arrived quickly. Today, the final champion would be determined. Countless people were looking forward to seeing which gym would win in the end. Giles arrived at the tournament venue very early. ¡°Master, there seems to be more people today than yesterday.¡± Sun Wukong looked at the spectator stand with surprise. ¡°Of course, the champion will be determined today,¡± Giles stroked its head and said with a smile. ¡°The champion will definitely be Master!¡± Sun Wukong clenched its small fists and said. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Looking at the other gym contestants around him, Giles felt a surge of fighting spirit. Ever since he was conscious, Starlux Gym had never won the championship in any Gym Tournament. This time, he had to win the championship. With this thought in mind, thepetition for the Top 16 to advance to the Top Eight began. The projection on the big screen was showing a random draw. The next moment, the results were out. Giles found his opponent. Starlux Gym vs Martin Gym! The other party was also an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. However, it was nothing in front of the King Kong Beast! One must know that the King Kong Beast had previously torn apart four Epic-rank beasts in Grant Forest. It could be said that it was invincible against those below the Legendary rank! Giles was once again the first to advance to the Top Eight! This scene was once again witnessed by the spectators. ¡°Oh my God, Giles won so easily. I even suspect that his King Kong Beast is a Legend-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only at the Gold rank. After using its innate skill, it can beparable to an Epic-rank spirit beast. It doesn¡¯t seem to have any negative side effects. This skill looks shameless no matter how you look at it.¡± ¡°You must be envious. No matter how abnormal this spirit beast is, it is still something that he nurtured. If you have the ability, why don¡¯t you also nurture one?¡± ¡­ After Giles ended the battle, he also began to watch the other groups¡¯ matches. The King Kong Beast was very powerful, but he could not be blindly arrogant. It would be very dangerous if there was a spirit beast that could suppress it. Very soon. The 18-year-old Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Jameson, caught Giles¡¯ attention. In the arena. Jameson¡¯s spirit beast was actually a shadow. Giles¡¯ eyes narrowed at the sight. His spection hade true. That shadow was no ordinary spirit beast, but a very rare dark-attribute spirit beast called Shadow Ghoul. This type of spirit beast was a very peculiar existence. Its main body was a ball of mist. They were usually born in ces with many corpses and had an extremely strong baneful aura. Without any means to restrain it, ordinary spirit beasts would not be able to fight back at all. Soon, Jameson¡¯s opponent was defeated by the Shadow Ghoul. After a while, the other matches also ended. When Jameson found out that Giles had been the first to advance again, he began to take this Gold-rank Beast Tamer seriously. This was because those who could get into the Top 16 were not simple. Even so, Giles had easily defeated his opponent. Jameson had to take this seriously. At the same time, the other contestants who had advanced to the Top Eight alsopletely regarded Giles as their opponent. All eyes turned to Giles, knowing that he was a formidable opponent. Without any superfluous words, thepetition for the advancement of Top Eight to Top Four began. On the big screen, they began to be split into groups. Starlux Gym vs Harvey Gym. ¡°Although your King Kong Beast can unleash the power of an Epic-rank spirit beast, I¡¯m not a pushover.¡± In the arena. Peter from Harvey Gym said to Giles. He was also an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. He was that confident because he had two Epic-rank spirit beasts. Furthermore, they were all flying spirit beasts. He wasn¡¯t in the least bit frightened to face Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast. ¡°You should be proud of yourself for reaching this stage by relying on a Gold-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°However, since you¡¯ve met me, you¡¯re destined to stop here.¡± Peter looked serious. He wasn¡¯t mocking Giles. He was simply stating a fact. It was a fact that many in the audience believed. Although most of the spectators had guessed that Giles¡¯ Diamond Beast had a terrifying innate skill that did not have any negative side effects and that even its cooldown time was extremely short, the audience had also learned about something else from the previous matches. Peter from the Harvey Gym had two flying spirit beasts that could attack from a distance. They didn¡¯t need to fight Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast in closebat. Needless to say, Giles was aware of this situation. However, he just smiled and summoned the King Kong Beast. Upon seeing this scene, the spectators started discussing fervently. ¡°If Giles had used the Swan Beast from before, he would still be able to put up a fight.¡± ¡°He only used his Swan Beast once yesterday. After that, it was always the King Kong Beast that fought. Could it be that the price of using the Swan Beast¡¯s innate skill is very high?¡± ¡°You have a point. Otherwise, Giles wouldn¡¯t have allowed the King Kong Beast to continue fighting.¡± ¡­ In the arena. Peter also summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, Ice Bird. ¡°Ice Bird, fly into the air and use your ¡®Freeze¡¯ skill.¡± Under Peter¡¯smand, the Ice Bird flew into the air and let out a cry. The next moment, a beam of cold blue light shot towards the King Kong Beast. ¡°King Kong Beast, dodge. Get close to the Ice Bird.¡± However, the King Kong Beast did not dodge. That beam of light was too fast and instantly enveloped the King Kong Beast. Seeing this scene, the spectators already knew Giles¡¯ oue. ¡°Giles has lost. Against a flying spirit beast, his spirit beast ispletely helpless.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This spirit beast of his has no way of getting close to it. So what if it¡¯s strong?¡± ¡°However, to be able to advance to the Top Eight, he is already very powerful. You must know that in the previous tournament, Alice only advanced to the Top Four.¡± ¡­ Seeing the King Kong Beast get frozen, Peter looked indifferent. This was the result he had expected. ¡°Giles, admit defeat and stop at the Top Eight. It¡¯s not a disgrace for you.¡± Giles smiled at that. ¡°Stop at the Top Eight? You underestimate me.¡± ¡°Or rather, you underestimate my spirit beast.¡± Peter frowned when he heard this. When he saw what was happening in the arena, his expression changed drastically. ¡°How is this possible?!¡± ¡­ Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Entering the Semi-finals

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the tournament venue. Peter watched in disbelief. Cracks began to appear on the ice that had frozen the King Kong Beast. Then, it began to crack inch by inch before finally exploding. Roar! The King Kong Beast broke free from its frozen state and hammered its chest a few times while letting out a series of roars. The King Kong Beast felt a little embarrassed to have been frozen by the other party. This was extraordinary shame and humiliation. It roared and charged towards the Ice Bird.. Peter was indeed someone who deserved to advance to the Top Eight. He quickly reacted. So what if the other party can escape his control? He merely needed tomand the Ice Bird to take charge of the air control and then continuously attack the King Kong Beast from a distance. It would be invincible. The Ice Bird immediately executed Peter¡¯s will and began to circle in the air. Then, it continuously used long-range attacks such as freezing and cold wind to harass the King Kong Beast. ¡°Giles, I admit that your spirit beast is terrifyingly strong, but it can¡¯t even get close to my spirit beast.¡± ¡°I¡¯m definitely going to win this match!¡± Peter said through clenched teeth. ¡°That may not be true.¡± ¡°King Kong Beast, disy your true strength.¡± Giles smiled, then looked ahead at the King Kong Beast. Hearing those words, the King Kong Beast froze on the spot. The next moment, its ten-meter body continued to expand. It slowly reached about fifteen meters. The aura it emitted was about to break through to the Legend rank. Seeing this, Peter¡¯s eyes narrowed. Even the audience also held their breath as they quietly watched this scene. After a while, there was a flurry of discussion. ¡°What the hell? Giles¡¯ spirit beast can be even stronger?¡± ¡°God, what kind of spirit beast is this? Its strength is nearly breaking through to the Legend rank.¡± ¡°But even so, what chance does it have? It still can¡¯t do anything to that Ice Bird in the sky.¡± ¡­ Peter, who was in the arena, was also shocked. He then reacted. So what if it became stronger again? However, what happened nextpletely dumbfounded him. The King Kong Beast bolted forward and leapt into the air at a speed that did not match its size, charging straight towards the Ice Bird. ¡°Ice Bird, use your ¡®Icy Wind¡¯ to stall for time and then dodge!¡± Peter quicklymanded. The Ice Bird condensed a gust of cold wind that swept towards the King Kong Beast. However, this gust of wind wasn¡¯t able to stop the King Kong Beast at all. The Ice Bird had also lost its chance to escape because of the deployment of its skill. The next moment, the King Kong Beast threw a punch at the Ice Bird. With a shrill cry, the Ice Bird copsed onto the arena and lost its ability to fight. Peter turned pale at the sight. He recalled the Ice Bird and summoned another Epic-rank spirit beast, the Golden-Eyed Bat. ¡°Giles, I admit I underestimated you.¡± ¡°But you will definitely lose this round!¡± Peter took a deep breath, then stared hard at Giles. After which, hemanded the Golden-Eyed Bat to attack. ¡°Golden-Eyed Bat, use ultrasonic waves to attack.¡± Instantly, an invisible sound wave shot towards the King Kong Beast. Seeing this scene, the spectators began to discuss amongst themselves. ¡°Do you think Giles can win? I don¡¯t even dare to talk drivel anymore.¡± ¡°He¡¯s definitely going to lose. That spirit beast of Giles¡¯ won¡¯t be able to withstand a long-distance sonic attack.¡± ¡°Yeah, Giles is going to lose.¡± ¡­ In the arena, Giles looked at the King Kong Beast with confidence. So what if it¡¯s a sonic attack? After the King Kong Beast used its innate skill ¡®Giantize¡¯, its various abilities were greatly enhanced. Now, it was almost at the Legend rank. The next moment, the Golden-Eyed Bat¡¯s attack arrived. The King Kong Beast was not affected at all. It jumped towards the Golden-Eyed Bat with all its might. Seeing this, Peter¡¯s eyes were full of disbelief. ¡°How is this possible?!¡± The next moment, the King Kong Beast charged into the air at a speed that did not match his body and locked onto the Golden-Eyed Bat. One punch! Just like the Ice Bird that it had defeated previously. It was the same scene again. The Golden-Eyed Bat was sent flying by the King Kong Beast¡¯s punch. It copsed in the arena and lost its ability to fight. Seeing this scene, Peter couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°I¡­ actually lost?¡± Giles nced at him. ¡°I told you not to underestimate my spirit beast.¡± Then, he left the arena. When the spectators saw the final oue, they could not believe it. ¡°Are you kidding? It¡¯s fine if Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast has a lot of strength, but why is its speed so fast too?¡± ¡°This spirit beast is an all-rounder. It doesn¡¯t even fear flying spirit beasts. Could it be that it can really be the champion?¡± ¡°What are you thinking? Have you forgotten about Jameson¡¯s Shadow Ghoul? How is Giles supposed to fight that thing?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s impossible for him to win the championship. Giles¡¯ results now are also very impressive. Who would have expected it in the beginning?¡± ¡­ This time, Giles wasn¡¯t the first to end the battle. However, it still drew the attention of quite a number of spectators. Entering the semi-finals as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer? No one would believe it if word got out, but Giles managed to do that. The audience couldn¡¯t help but wonder where Giles¡¯ finishing point was. However, no matter how they thought about it, they didn¡¯t think that Giles could win. This was because the18-year-old Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Jameson, could be said to be the internally designated champion in everyone¡¯s eyes. At that moment, the semi-finals advancement matches had already ended. There was Giles, Jameson, Robert, and Anna. Apart from Giles, the other three contestants were within the audience¡¯s expectations. It was only Giles whom nobody expected to enter the Top Four. After a heatedmentary, the semi-finals began! A randomized list appeared on the screen. Starlux Gym vs nge Gym. Bruce Hall vs Frank Hall. Under the fervent gazes of the audience, the four of them entered their respective arenas. Giles¡¯ opponent was a muscr, short-haired youth. Robert was the Epic-rank Beast Tamer from nge Gym and was also the pride of the city. In the previous tournament, he was the one who represented the nge Gym to participate in the Gym Tournament and also won the championship in the end. He was still the one participating in this year¡¯s tournament. However, he was definitely much stronger than before. Giles studied him, feeling like he couldn¡¯t let his guard down. The remaining contestants were not simple. Just then, Robert smiled at Giles. ¡°As expected of a disciple of the Starlux Gym. I almost lost to Alice in the previous tournament.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect her disciple to advance to the semi-finals as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer this year. That¡¯s not simple.¡± Giles started momentarily, then he smiled. ¡°You tter me.¡± Robert continued, ¡°I only have one spirit beast. If you win, this battle will end.¡± With that, he summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, the Green-Vine Treant. Giles summoned the King Kong Beast as well. The battle was about to begin. Chapter 36

Chapter 36: The King Kong Beast that Evolved Midway

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the arena. Giles studied his opponent¡¯s spirit beast. It was a Treant that was almost as tall as a person. Its entire body was green in color, and it exuded a dense aura of life. Giles¡¯ gaze hardened. He had seen this spirit beast in the previous Gym Tournament. Back then, Giles had gone along with Alice to broaden his horizons. It was during the semi-finals that Alice had met Robert and been defeated. . Just as Giles was trying to remember all this, the battle began. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use the skill ¡®Bind¡¯.¡± The next moment, countless vines appeared on the body of the Treant and swept towards the King Kong Beast. ¡°King Kong Beast, dodge and use your Giantize innate skill.¡± Giles wasn¡¯t careless about the vines of the Green-Vine Treant. Although this was insufficient to restrain the King Kong Beast given the King Kong Beast¡¯s strength, it was better to be careful. The next moment, the King Kong Beast had already grown to a height of over ten meters. At the same time, the vines of the Green-Vine Treant came at an extremely fast speed. Before the King Kong Beast could react, the vines had wrapped around its body like a dumpling. However, the King Kong Beast used all its might to break free and the vines fell to the ground. Robert¡¯s eyes flickered upon seeing this, but this was not unexpected to him. After all, the King Kong Beast¡¯s terrifying strength was widely acknowledged. However, he had a motive for unleashing the ¡®Bind¡¯ skill. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use ¡®Thorn Cage¡¯!¡± The next moment, the vines that hadnded at the feet of the King Kong Beast glowed and turned into a cage made of vines that enveloped the King Kong Beast. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use your skill ¡®Barbaric Growth¡¯.¡± Next, a green glow radiated from the body of the Green-Vine Treant, and the vine cage that enveloped the King Kong Beast began to grow. The branches grew thicker and thicker, and at the same time, new vines appeared and surrounded the King Kong Beast. Upon seeing this scene, the spectators started discussing fervently. ¡°Haha, Giles is definitely going to lose this match.¡± ¡°Um, every time you say Giles is going to lose, he ends up winning.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different this time. Didn¡¯t you see that the King Kong Beast has been restrained by the Treant? The King Kong Beast can¡¯t break free at all.¡± ¡°You¡¯re kidding, right? Don¡¯t you know the power of Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast? It could rip that cage right off.¡± ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s different this time. Just watch, the King Kong Beast definitely won¡¯t be able toe out.¡± ¡­ ¡°King Kong Beast, rip the cage apart.¡± He had to admit that Robert¡¯s tactic was quite effective. Giles didn¡¯t think that the King Kong Beast coulde out that easily, as many people had already witnessed its power. As a contestant, it was impossible for Robert not to know. In that case, Robert must have been very confident in his strategy. As expected, the King Kong Beast struggled with all its might in the cage, directly tearing apart ayer of vines. However, Giles didn¡¯t look happy. Just as he had expected, the hole was instantly repaired by more vines. Seeing this scene, many spectators who hadn¡¯t watched Robert¡¯s match before immediately understood. ¡°I¡¯m from another city. I didn¡¯t know Robert¡¯s spirit beast had such a skill.¡± ¡°Hehe, there are still many things you won¡¯t expect. I¡¯m sure that Giles will definitely lose this round.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s worth it for Giles. A Gold-rank Beast Tamer made it into the semi-finals. I¡¯ve never seen that in any of the tournaments before.¡± ¡­ In the arena, the battle continued. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, continue using ¡®Thorn de¡¯.¡± As an experienced Beast Tamer, Robert naturally knew how to seize opportunities. After that, many vines with sharp spikes appeared in the cage and swept towards the King Kong Beast before wrapping around its entire body. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use your ¡®Bloodthirst¡¯ skill.¡± The next moment, the spikes on the vines pierced into the King Kong Beast¡¯s body. Then, the King Kong Beast let out a violent roar and furiously tore at the surrounding vines. However, it was of no use. New vines quickly grew out of the torn vines. Eventually, more and more vinespletely wrapped around the King Kong Beast. Watching this scene, the audience knew the oue. ¡°Giles underestimated his opponent. This time, the King Kong Beast ispletely powerless to fight back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. The Green-Vine Treant has already activated its ¡®Bloodthirsty¡¯ Skill. The King Kong Beast will only be weaker and weaker until it fails.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. It didn¡¯t stand a chance the moment it was entangled with the vines from the Green-Vine Treant. Robert is indeed the genius Beastmaster of our nge City.¡± ¡­ At the same time, the King Kong Beast which was tightly encased in the vines kept struggling. It recalled the terrifying strange beasts in the King Kong story. It killed them one by one in the story. How can it fall into the hands of a spirit beast that could not evenpare to those strange beasts? It roared loudly. Then, its body shook violently as a dazzling light enveloped its entire body. This was a sign that the spirit beast was evolving! This ray of light spread through theyers of vines and enshrouded the entire arena. Robert¡¯s eyes narrowed upon seeing this. ¡°Could this be¡­?¡± When the audience witnessed this scene, they were also extremely shocked. ¡°Are you kidding me? Giles¡¯ spirit beast actually evolved?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of a breakthrough happening during a tournament. This feels like a dream!¡± ¡°You guys are focusing on the wrong thing. That King Kong Beast was only a Gold-rank spirit beast previously yet it could fight against Epic-rank spirit beasts. Now that it has evolved to the Epic Rank, how terrifying would it be?¡± ¡­ Hearing this, the audience fell silent. They were truly shocked by the King Kong Beast¡¯s evolution. At that moment, they even had a vague feeling in their hearts that Giles would be able to win the championship. Once they had this thought, they could no longer suppress it. On the other hand, Giles couldn¡¯t help but smile as he looked at the evolved King Kong Beast. Evolved into an Epic-rank King Kong Beast. Let me see your prowess! The next moment, the light disappeared. Everyone, including Robert, held their breath, curious about the evolved King Kong Beast. Roar! A Godfiend-like roar rang out, shocking the ears of countless people present. Following that, a thick, ck-furred arm tore through the vine cage. Gradually, all the vines around the King Kong Beast broke. No matter how fast they grew, they could not restrain the King Kong Beast. A gigantic body that wasparable to a Godfiend soon appeared before everyone. It was the evolved King Kong Beast. Right now, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body was nearly thirty meters tall. Its entire body emitted a fierce aura, as if it was a Godfiend that had returned from ancient times. If not for the fact that the tournament venue was open-air, it would not have been able to fit its body. Robert looked up at the King Kong Beast. Inparison, he was like an ant looking up at a God. He sighed, knowing that there was no need to continue. ¡°I admit defeat.¡± Giles advanced to the finals! Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Silver-rank Beetle, One Strike to Determine the Oue!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the tournament venue. Thementator¡¯s loud voice spread throughout the entire tournament venue. ¡°Everyone, this is truly unbelievable. Giles from Starlux Gym has sessfully advanced to the finals!¡± ¡°Next up, he will enter the finals with another contestant.¡± ¡°Let us wait and see who will win the championship!¡± The audience eximed! The Gold-rank Beast Tamer in their eyes actually made it to the finals step by step. In the end, his Gold-rank spirit beast directly advanced to the Epic rank and had the possibility of bing the champion. This shocked many in the audience.. ¡°Looks like Starlux Gym really has a chance of winning. Giles¡¯ spirit beast is even more terrifying after advancing to the Epic rank,¡± someone in the audience said. The surrounding audience members echoed his thoughts. ¡°Now I¡¯m really looking forward to seeing what Giles does next.¡± This was what many of the audience were thinking. They were extremely curious if a dark horse like Giles, who had suddenly appeared, really stood a chance of winning the championship. Not long after Giles advanced, the battle on the other side also ended. Jameson from Bruce Gym had defeated his opponent and advanced to the finals! The final name list appeared on the projection screen. Starlux Gym vs Bruce Gym. Giles vs Jameson! The winner would be the champion of this Gym Tournament! Standing nearby, Jameson smiled at Giles. ¡°I look forward topeting with you.¡± Then, he left for the rest area. Looking at his back view, Giles smiled as well. He was a formidable opponent, but Giles was filled with confidence. Even if the King Kong Beast hadn¡¯t evolved, Giles was confident of winning. Furthermore, the King Kong Beast had evolved into an Epic-rank spirit beast. If it used all its innate skills, it would probably be able to fight against Legend-rank spirit beasts. ¡°Everyone, as you can see, the contestants for the finals of the Gym Tournament have been confirmed.¡± ¡°We have the dark horse that had suddenly appeared, the Gold-rank Beast Tamer, oh no, he is now an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Giles; as well as the famous genius Beast Tamer, contestant Jameson.¡± ¡°Who will be the final champion? Which Gym will win first ce?¡± ¡°The match is about to begin!¡± As thementary heated up the atmosphere, the audience was in high spirits, anticipating the next match. Giles and Jameson also returned to the resting area to adjust their spiritual beasts¡¯ condition and wait for the finals to begin. An hourter. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, the two of them entered the venue. The final championship battle began! At that moment, everyone in nge City was watching them. Other than the tens of thousands of spectators, there were even more people watching the live broadcast of the tournament. In the arena. Looking at Giles who was not far from him, Jameson summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, Shadow Ghoul. Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. Shadow Ghoul was a dark-attribute spirit beast and its body was a ck mist. It also had an extremely troublesome skill, ¡®Transform Reality into Nothingness¡¯. After using it, its entire body would turn into a ball of ck fog. It would be very difficult for physical attacks to work. No matter how strong the King Kong Beast was, it would be useless. At the same time, many people in the spectator stands were also curious about which spirit beast Giles would use. ¡°Giles has only sent out two spirit beasts. One is an Epic-rank King Kong Beast and the other is a Gold-rank Swan Beast. But no matter which one it is, it will be at a disadvantage against Jameson¡¯s Shadow Ghoul.¡± ¡°Yes, the Shadow Ghoul¡¯s skills are too sick. Unless it¡¯s an effective elemental attack, those physical attacks won¡¯t work.¡± ¡°But Giles¡¯ two spirit beasts don¡¯t seem to have any elemental attacks. Is Giles really going to lose this time?¡± ¡­ In the arena, Giles pondered for a moment. Then, he summoned a spirit beast. However, when the audience saw this spirit beast, they instantly fell silent. Then, intense discussions erupted. ¡°God, are you kidding me? Giles actually summoned a Silver-rank spirit beast? What is he thinking?¡± ¡°Silver-rank spirit beast? To fight an Epic-rank spirit beast? Is Giles crazy?¡± ¡°Could it be that there¡¯s a conspiracy behind this? Has Giles been bribed by Bruce Gym?¡± ¡°What a joke! The prize for the first ce in the Gym Tournament is iparably abundant. How could Giles give it up?¡± ¡°In that case, Giles¡¯ brain must be fried. I can¡¯t understand it.¡± ¡­ Thementator was also dumbfounded. ¡°Er, our contestant Giles seems to have summoned the wrong spirit beast, but it can still be changed before the battle starts.¡± Thementator simply thought that Giles had made a mistake and summoned the wrong spirit beast. This had happened before in previous Gym Tournaments. Hearing this exnation, the audience expressed their understanding. After all, this was the finals. It was understandable for him to be nervous. In the arena. Jameson looked at the Silver-rank Little Beetle and grimaced. ¡°Giles, the battle hasn¡¯t started yet. If you summoned the wrong spirit beast, hurry up and change it.¡± Gilesughed and shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t summon wrongly. This is it for the first round.¡± Giles¡¯ answer was clearly projected onto the big screen and heard by the audience. Immediately, the audience was dumbfounded. Didn¡¯t summon wrongly? At this moment, everyone felt that Giles¡¯ brain was damaged. After all, they had never seen anyone use a Silver-rank spirit beast to defeat an Epic-rank spirit beast. Regardless of what they thought, the battle had already erupted in the arena. Seeing that Giles had no reaction, Jameson could only order his spirit beast to attack. After all, he hade for the championship. Since Giles had made such a choice, he would not show mercy. ¡°Shadow Ghoul, use ¡®Transform Reality into Nothingness¡¯.¡± The next moment, the Shadow Ghoul floating in the air turned into an irregr ck fog. Jameson did not hold back and deployed Shadow Ghoul¡¯s life-saving skill. Under this circumstance, the Shadow Ghoul could avoid the attacks of other spirit beasts. In addition, it could also attack when it was in this form. ¡°Shadow Ghoul, use your skill ¡®Fog Cage¡¯.¡± The audience eximed. ¡°As expected of a genius Beast Tamer. Even when facing a Silver-rank skill, he still used his full strength and used the Shadow Ghoul¡¯s life-saving skill.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Giles is definitely going to lose. Even his Epic-rank King Kong Beast can¡¯t do anything to Shadow Ghoul, let alone this Silver-rank Beetle.¡± ¡°Yeah, the final champion is still going to be Jameson.¡± ¡­ In the arena. Following Jameson¡¯smand, the Shadow Ghoul released a ck mist that enveloped the Little Beetle. This was the Shadow Ghoul¡¯s skill, ¡®Fog Cage¡¯. The spirit beasts that were enveloped in it would gradually lose their ability to fight. Jameson was still cautious and didn¡¯t dare to face this Silver-rank spirit beast directly. After all, he did not think that Giles was stupid to let this spirit beast fight. There must be something special about this spirit beast. However, he soon witnessed it. ¡°Little Beetle, use your skill, ¡®Super Atomic Ray¡¯.¡± The next moment, a scorching ray of light shot out from the Little Beetle¡¯s horn towards the Shadow Ghoul. When Jameson saw this scene, his expression changed drastically. That was because that ray of light was an elemental attack and its power wasparable to an Epic-rank spirit beast. ¡°Shadow Ghoul, dodge quickly!¡± However, it was toote. The scorching ray of light prated through the ck fog formed by the Shadow Ghoul, leaving a hole. The ck fog shrank and condensed into the original appearance of the Shadow Ghoul. However, it had already shrunk and seemed to have lost itsbat ability. At that moment, the Little Beetle that was only at Silver rank, determined the oue with one strike! He won the first round of the finals! Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Winning the Championship

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the tournament venue. Silence! Dead silence! After what seemed like a long time, the crowd erupted into fierce cries. ¡°Did I see wrongly?! That Silver-rank spirit beast actually defeated the Epic-rank Shadow Ghoul directly. How is that possible!¡± ¡°Oh my God, how could this happen? That Silver-rank spirit beast is too terrifying.¡± ¡°Giles is not stupid. His spirit beast actually has such a terrifying skill. This is unbelievable!¡± ¡­ The spectators could not believe that Giles had won this round.. However, this was a fact that had already happened. Everyone was unbelievably shocked. Including Jameson. At that moment, his face was filled with horror as he stared fixedly at the Silver-rank Little Beetle. It had defeated his Shadow Ghoul in one blow. Jameson took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. Then, he looked at Giles. ¡°I must admit that I have truly underestimated you.¡± ¡°In the next two rounds, I will definitely defeat you.¡± Giles raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Jameson retrieved the Shadow Ghoul and summoned another Epic-rank spirit beast, the Thunder Pig. Upon seeing this scene, the spectators began discussing fervently. ¡°This is Jameson¡¯s other Epic-rank spirit beast. It has high defense and impressive attack power. It¡¯s one of the few thunder-type spirit beasts.¡± ¡°I wonder if Giles will still use that Silver-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°You must be kidding. Can such a terrifying light skill be used indefinitely?¡± ¡­ If Giles could hear them, he would definitely agree with them. This was because the Little Beetle¡¯s Super Atomic Ray could not be used continuously. It could only be used once a day. If it was overused, it would cause irreversible damage to the Little Beetle itself. Needless to say, Giles wouldn¡¯t let it battle again. Instead, he continued to summon the King Kong Beast. ¡°King Kong Beast, go and fight to your heart¡¯s content!¡± As soon as it came out, the King Kong Beast immediately used its Giantize innate skill, and its body quickly reached a terrifying thirty meters. Jameson¡¯s Thunder Pig was only three to four meters long. Inparison, it was like a rock beside the King Kong Beast¡¯s feet. Even though Jameson knew how terrifying the King Kong Beast was, he did not give up. One would only know the oue after trying. Just then, Gilesmanded the King Kong Beast to attack. ¡°King Kong Beast, defeat your opponent and let us win the championship!¡± When the King Kong Beast heard this, it immediately charged towards the Thunder Pig. Jameson saw this but did not panic. ¡°Thunder Pig, use your innate skill ¡®Body of Thunder and Lightning¡¯!¡± The next moment, the Thunder Pig¡¯s entire body began to emit a violent lightning radiance which spread throughout its entire body before gradually growingrger. In the end, it actually turned into a humongous monster made of lightning and thunder,parable to the King Kong Beast. Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ eyes narrowed. He knew that he had met his match this time. On the battlefield, the King Kong Beast had already collided with the Thunder Pig. Without saying anything, the two of them engaged in a battle. The King Kong Beast¡¯s fists struck the Thunder Pig¡¯s body, and every punch would cause a sh of lightning to fly out. The Thunder Pig didn¡¯t care about the King Kong Beast¡¯s attacks at all. Its body continued to emit lightning and thunder as it struck the King Kong Beast. For a period of time, both sides were evenly matched. ¡°Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast has met its match. I didn¡¯t expect Jameson¡¯s Thunder Pig to have such a terrifying innate skill.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How can it be that those who make it to the finals don¡¯t have some abilities?¡± ¡°Jameson cannot lose this match. His hopes of winning are all pinned on this Thunder Pig.¡± ¡­ In the arena. The King Kong Beast was still fighting with the Thunder Pig. From time to time, lightning bolts would shoot out from the Thunder Pig¡¯s body, but the King Kong Beast didn¡¯t care. It only had one goal, and that was to win! One had to know that in King Kong¡¯s story, it had killed many terrifying strange beasts. This thing before its eyes was nothing. Therefore, it has to win! The King Kong Beast roared and charged towards the Thunder Pig again. Even though there were wounds on its body, it did not care. It punched the Thunder Pig again and again, causing sparks of lightning to fly out. The Thunder Pig¡¯s body also began to shrink. When Jameson saw this scene, his expression changed drastically. He did not expect that even after using his trump card, the Thunder Pig, he still could not defeat his opponent. Jameson¡¯s heart was filled with bitterness as he looked at the King Kong Beast that wasparable to a Godfiend. He knew he was going to lose. It wasn¡¯t that he wasn¡¯t strong, but that his opponent was simply too strong. The Thunder Pig¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Body of Thunder and Lightning¡¯, had a time limit. It could onlyst for five minutes. However, three minutes had already passed, yet it still hadn¡¯t won. The oue was obvious. True enough, after a while, the thunder and lightning on the Thunder Pig¡¯s body slowly dissipated, revealing the exhausted Thunder Pig inside. ¡°I lost.¡± Jameson gave Giles a long look before throwing out these words and leaving the arena with the Thunder Pig. Silence! Dead silence! At that moment, there was no sound from the tens of thousands of people in the arena. The eerie silence made one feel apprehensive! The finals ended just like that? Jameson¡­ lost? Giles¡­ won? Even though there were people who thought that Giles could win the championship, now that it had be reality, it felt like a dream. After all, many people had thought that Jameson would be the champion. They even thought that Jameson was already the champion. Yet now, Giles had emerged and won the championship! For a while, many people could not react. Not only the audience, but thementator was also stunned. He only regained his senses when a staff member touched him lightly. ¡°Giles won!¡± ¡°I hereby announce that the champion of this Gym Tournament is¡­!¡± ¡°Giles from Starlux Gym!¡± ¡°Giles¡­ Giles¡­ Giles¡­¡± Following thementator¡¯s announcement, an unimaginable cheer erupted in the silent arena. Terrifying sound waves reverberated in all directions, ringing in the ears of countless people. However, no one cared. At that moment, everyone was cheering for Giles! Bang! Bang! Bang! Countless streamers exploded in the air, further fueling the atmosphere in the venue to its peak. Jameson, who was a distance away, nced over his shoulder. Then, he turned around and left. All of this had nothing to do with him. This was a celebration for the champion. ¡­ Yorkshire City, Hengduan Mountain Range. Alice returned to the campsite, exhausted. Today, she was ambushed by the Beast Blood Sect and almost died. Fortunately, the reinforcements from the Beast Tamer Association arrived in the nick of time. ¡°The person who sent reinforcements told me that the results of the Gym Tournament are out.¡± ¡°What? Which Gym won first ce?¡± ¡°It must be the nge Gym. They¡¯re the host, and their strength is not bad. They¡¯re also the champions of the previous tournament.¡± ¡°The nge Gym won¡¯t make it. I¡¯m guessing it¡¯s the Frank Gym. Their Anna is a ruthless character. That girl goes out into the wilderness every day to hunt ferocious beasts. I am also inferior to her.¡± ¡°In my opinion, it must be the Bruce Gym. I heard that they have a genius Beast Tamer who became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18.¡± ¡°Nope, you¡¯re all wrong.¡± When Alice heard this, she also became a little curious. The gyms mentioned above were all gyms that had high hopes of winning the championship this year, yet none of them had won the championship.?In that case, which gym was the final champion? ¡°Hehe, you guys will never guess it!¡± ¡°The champion is Starlux Gym.¡± ¡°What? Could it be that Gold-rank Beast Tamer you mentioned previously?¡± ¡°Yes, oh, that¡¯s not right. He¡¯s an Epic-rank Beast Tamer now. One of his Gold-rank spirit beasts broke through to the Epic rank during thepetition.¡± ¡°By the way, Alice, I heard that your gym is called Starlux Gym. Can it be your gym?¡± Alice immediately denied it, ¡°No one from my gym is participating in the Gym Tournament. It¡¯s definitely not my gym.¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably just the same name then.¡± That person didn¡¯t think too much about it. After all, gyms were everywhere these days, so it was normal to have the same name. Alice affirmed that and said, ¡°Right, it¡¯s definitely just the same name.¡± Chapter 39

Chapter 39: A New Journey

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions nge City. The Gym Tournament had ended. Giles became the dark horse in everyone¡¯s eyes and won the championship in one fell swoop, undoubtedly shocking countless people. At the same time, it attracted the attention of some people in the Beast Tamer Association. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Giles from Starlux Giles to win the championship. I really didn¡¯t expect this.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. In the previous tournament, Alice only stopped at the Top Eight. I didn¡¯t expect this.¡± . ¡°Give him a spot in the friendly match. Also, directly promote him to be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. What do you guys think?¡± ¡°I think that will work.¡± ¡­ Hence, just as Giles was about to return to Yin City after receiving the award, a staff member of the Beast Tamer Association found him. He handed Giles an invitation. ¡°Mr Giles, this is what the higher-ups instructed me to pass to you.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles froze for a moment before opening the invitation. So this was the interstate Beast Tamer Friendly Match. The Beast Tamer Association saw that he was quite capable, so they gave him a spot to participate in thepetition. This was also a small reward for every Gym Tournament. However, it could only be obtained if one ranked at the top. Hence, Giles had forgotten that there was such a thing. Coincidentally, he also had to prepare for the Beast Tamer Tournament, so participating in this friendly match was along the way. Apart from that, what surprised Giles was that there was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer badge inside. It was also given to him by the Beast Tamer Association. ¡°This should be considered a special exception. I became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer without taking the assessment.¡± After bing an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, his monthly allowance would increase. Giles thought this was normal. After all, everyone knew his strength. He kept these things and rode the Swan Beast back to Yin City. Back in the gym. The spirit beast cubs surrounded Giles and looked at him aggrievedly. This was because Giles had gone to nge City for the tournament the day before and hadn¡¯t told them a story. All of them clung to Giles. It seemed like they would not let him go if he did not tell them a story. Giles smiled. ¡°You kids, I have something to do today, so I won¡¯t be telling you any stories.¡± Although the cubs were helpless, they still let Giles go. Giles returned to the house, sat down at theputer table, and began to check the details of the Beast Tamers friendly match. This was an interstate friendly match. The participants were all genius Beast Tamers from the different states. Although it couldn¡¯t bepared to the scale of the Beast Tamer Tournament, it was still a very famouspetition. It was worth participating in to be able to witness so many talented Beast Tamers. After that, Giles searched for information about the Beast Tamer Tournament. If one wanted to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament, they would have to challenge eight gyms and obtain the exclusive pass from each gym. Only then would they be qualified to participate in the tournament. However, there were still assessments after that, and it was different every year. No one could be sure. After reading it, Giles had a rough idea. He also wanted to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament. At the same time, he also wanted to challenge some gyms to obtain the qualifications for the Beast Tamer Tournament. Giles was prepared to leave tomorrow, but he couldn¡¯t find anyone to look after the gym. That was a problem. However, this problem was quickly resolved. ¡°Giles, are you going to participate in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match?¡± Elena came over. ¡°Yes, but I think that I¡¯ll be gone for a long time. It¡¯s a problem if there¡¯s no one taking care of the gym.¡± Giles looked at Elena. ¡°Oh right, did youe back because you found the Dragon Blood Grass?¡± Elena shook her head. ¡°I didn¡¯t find it, but I already have a general direction. That¡¯s why I¡¯m looking for you.¡± ¡°The problem with the gym is easy to resolve. Leave it to me. I can get my father to send someone to manage the gym.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles pondered for a moment before agreeing. Giles felt assured with Elena. ¡°In that case, can I go with you to the Beast Tamer Friendly Match?¡± Giles was stunned. ¡°Why are you going there?¡± ¡°The news of the Dragon Blood Grass came from there. I want to go there personally and search for it,¡± Elena said as she nced at Giles with her beautiful eyes. Giles nodded. Having one more person to apany him was not a bad thing. Naturally, he would not turn her down. Elena¡¯s beautiful eyes lit up when she saw that Giles had agreed. She then left after arranging with Giles to meet him at the city gate the next day. Giles fed the spirit beasts some food and returned to his room to rest. The night passed uneventfully. Soon, it was the next day. The person Elena had arranged for also arrived at the gym. It was the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce whom Giles had met before, Gars. ¡°Mr Giles, leave the gym to me. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Giles nodded. ¡°In that case, thank you, Mr Gars.¡± On this trip, Giles also brought along the spirit beast cubs in the gym. Due to Giles¡¯ story telling, they were all clinging to him now. It was one thing for him to not tell them a story yesterday, but now that they knew that he was leaving, all of them expressed that they wanted to follow him. Helpless, Giles could only contract all of them and store them in his Beast-taming virtual space. Otherwise, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to bring them along. After cleaning up, Giles arrived at the city gate and saw Elena waiting there. ¡°It¡¯s just you?¡± Giles was a little surprised. As the daughter of the founder of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, she actually didn¡¯t have any guards and whatnot. ¡°My father recognizes your abilities and feels that there isn¡¯t a need for other guards,¡± Elena smiled and said. ¡°Your father really thinks highly of me.¡± Although he said that, Giles knew that Elena¡¯s father was right. With his current strength, he could put up a fight against Legend-rankbat power. Without another word, Giles summoned the Swan Beast. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± This time, Elena didn¡¯t summon her flying spirit beast. She rode with Giles on the Swan Beast. With a p of its wings, the Swan Beast slowly flew into the air before soaring into the sky. Sitting behind Giles, Elena couldn¡¯t help but wrap her arms around his waist. Feeling the warmth from behind him, Giles¡¯ heart began to thump, but he quickly suppressed it and stopped thinking about it. Giles¡¯ destination this time was a city called Erding. The reason he chose this city was not only because it was en route to the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, but also because it was a beautiful city. To be able to enjoy more sights during this journey. After all, Giles had never traveled far before. The Swan Beast was very fast and they arrived at the location at noon. Although the sun was hanging high in the sky, it was not very hot. Looking down at the majestic city on the ground from midair, Giles could not help but feel slightly moved. After a while, Giles got the Swan Beast to descend. Entering Erding City, Giles and Elena weaved through the bustling crowd. The two of them strolled around the city before finding a hotel to stay in. They were waiting for the next day to challenge the gym in this city. Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Gym, Mysterious Challenger

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The next day. Giles woke up early in the morning to wash up. After breakfast, he brought Alina to the Beast-taming Gym in the city. Along the way, Alina looked at Sun Wukong and asked curiously, ¡°Giles, whose child is this?¡± Giles nced at Sun Wukong. Yesterday, Sun Wukong had been kept in the Beast-taming virtual space and wasn¡¯t let out. It had been holding back all day. Today, it begged Giles to let it out. Thus, Giles let it out. Now that Alina suddenly asked, Giles didn¡¯t hide anything for her and told her straight.. ¡°What? You said that it¡¯s a spirit beast?¡± ¡°But aren¡¯t only the spirit beasts that are Legend-rank and above able to transform?¡± ¡°Dear God, Giles, don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s a Legend-rank spirit beast.¡± Alina looked shocked. ¡°Of course not. This is its innate skill, ¡®Form Transformation¡¯. It can transform into all kinds of appearances.¡± When Alina heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Legend-rank spirit beasts were too rare. She had lost herposure earlier. Soon, the two of them, along with Sun Wukong, followed the map to find the Beast-taming Gym in the city. The name of this gym was Conor Gym. Just as Giles was about to enter, he suddenly noticed a line of words on the wall next to the front door of the gym. They were written in ck paint and were extremely striking. Ryder was here. Beside him, Alina also saw this line of words. ¡°Who did this? Is no one in the gyming to clean it?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go in and ask the Gym Leader.¡± With that, the two of them stepped into the gym. In the gym. There were a few people carrying out their challenges. Giles was in no hurry. He stood quietly at the side, waiting for their challenge to end. Soon, it was Giles¡¯ turn. Giles stepped into the arena and sized up the Gym Leader. The Gym Leader was a burly man. ¡°Gym Leader, may I ask what¡¯s with the graffiti outside the gym?¡± Hearing this, the Gym Leader waved his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t bring it up. That was done by an a*shole.¡± ¡°He¡¯s here to challenge the gym. Before the challenge, he made a bet. He said that if he wins, I have to write his name on the wall of the gym and leave it there for a month before I can clean it.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t think much about it and agreed.¡± ¡°Who knew that this guy would win? He just started writing with the paint.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles didn¡¯t know what to say. However, this matter had little to do with him, so he just asked in passing. The match began. Giles directly summoned the King Kong Beast. As soon as it came out, it roared angrily. The aura of an Epic-rank spirit beast instantly swept across the entire arena. Seeing this scene, the Gym Leader, who wanted to summon a Gold-rank spirit beast, was stunned. This was because Giles had contracted an Epic-rank spirit beast at such a young age. This surprised him greatly. At the same time, the other challengers, who arrived after him, were also discussing fervently. ¡°Am I seeing things? He actually summoned an Epic-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at such a young age.¡± ¡°Do you think he can win? After all, the Gym Leader is a veteran Epic-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡­ In the arena, the Gym Leader looked at Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast in shock. ¡°Young man, you are really not bad. However, I will not show any mercy. Remember to bring out your true strength.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles smiled. True strength? No one below the Legend rank can withstand it. The next moment, the Gym Leader summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, the Green-Vine Treant. It was the same spirit beast that Robert had used in the Gym Tournament ¡°As expected, the Gym Leader has a lot ofbat experience. When facing such a strength-type spirit beast, a control-type spiritual beast is a good choice.¡± ¡°Yes, that challenger will definitely lose. If I remember correctly, there was a simr battle before. In the end, the Gym Leader won.¡± ¡°Although he¡¯s young, it¡¯s inevitable that hecks battle experience. What a pity.¡± ¡­ The challengers that cameter discussed fervently. None of them were optimistic about Giles winning the challenge. At the same time, the battle in the arena had already begun. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use the skill ¡®Bind¡¯!¡± Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ eyes gleamed. He knew that this was probably the same battle style as Robert. Sure enough, countless vines appeared from the body of the Treeant in the next moment and quickly enveloped the King Kong Beast before binding it tightly. However, this was of no use to the King Kong Beast. It used all the terrifying strength in its body and broke free the second it tried to tear the vines apart. Many vines broke and fell. ¡°Green-Vine Treant, use the skill ¡®Barbaric Growth¡¯.¡± Giles felt bored when he heard this. The same move. Can¡¯t they change it to something new? Giles did not want to continue ying and was prepared to determine the winner right now. Before the Gym Leader could react, Gilesmanded the King Kong Beast to swiftly move to the front of the Green-Vine Treant. Then, it threw a punch. The terrifying powernded on the Tree-Man¡¯s body, causing it to instantly lose the ability to fight. ¡°What? The Gym Leader actually lost?¡± ¡°That spirit beast is too frightening. It was an instant kill.¡± ¡°The Gym Leader was too careless and let that person seize the opportunity.¡± ¡­ The people below the arena witnessed this scene and started discussing. ¡°Wait, don¡¯t you think his spirit beast looks familiar?¡± ¡°What? Have you seen it elsewhere?¡± ¡°I remember now. He was the champion of the Gym Tournament two days ago.¡± ¡°When he advanced to the Top Four, that spirit beast was about to be defeated by a Green-Vine Treant like the Gym Leader¡¯s. In the end, it evolved and turned defeat into victory, thereby advancing to the finals!¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s the same Giles who won the Gym Tournament. No wonder he¡¯s so powerful!¡± ¡­ In the arena, the Gym Leader heard the discussion below. He could not help but size Giles up. He did not participate in the Gym Tournament this time. It was his disciple who participated, but he had yet to return. He didn¡¯t expect the challenger in front of him to be the champion of the Gym Tournament. No wonder he has such abilities. He lost fair and square. ¡°You¡¯re very impressive. I heard that the top few contestants of the Gym Tournament will be participating in the interstate Beast Tamer Friendly Match. All the best!¡± With that, the Gym Leader threw Giles a badge that was exclusive to the gym. This was the proof Giles needed to participate in the Beast Tamer Tournament. With this, Giles still needed seven more. Giles took the badge and solemnly put it away. ¡°Thank you for yourpliment. I¡¯ll do my best.¡± Then, he jumped off the arena. Just as he was about to leave, the youths nearby, who hade to challenge the gym, instantly surrounded him. ¡°Giles, can I have your autograph?¡± ¡­ Giles signed his autograph for them one by one. Fortunately, there weren¡¯t many of them. Otherwise, it would beparable to a star-chasing scene in his previous life. It wasn¡¯t easy for Giles to get rid of this group of fans. Beside him, Alina couldn¡¯t help butugh at the sight. ¡°Superstar, how does it feel to be admired by others?¡± Giles rubbed his face. One of the crazy fans had actually wrapped his arms around Giles¡¯ head and buried Giles¡¯ head in his chest. He nearly couldn¡¯t breathe. When he heard Alina¡¯s words, Giles smiled wryly. ¡°This feels terrible.¡± After the little episode, Giles, together with Alina and Sun Wukong, yed in the city for a few days before rushing to the next destination. Chapter 41 - Encountering the Beast Blood Sect by Accident

Chapter 41: Encountering the Beast Blood Sect by ident

In the sky. Giles and Alina were sitting on the back of the Swan Beast. Sun Wukong had already been kept in the Beast-taming space. At that moment, Alina was hugging Giles by the waist like before. asionally, white clouds would pass by, creating a beautiful and peaceful scene. Feeling the warm body behind him, Giles couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath. ¡°Alina, won¡¯t following me around dy your search for the Dragon Blood Grass?¡± Giles broke the silence. ¡°There won¡¯t be any dy, because that stalk of Dragon Blood Grass is one of the prizes for this Beast Tamer Friendly Match. My father has alreadymunicated with the Beast Tamer Association and bought it. However, it hasn¡¯t ripened yet, so I can only go over and wait for it to ripen before consuming it.¡± Giles nodded at that. It was indeed the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce with abundant financial resources. To be able tomunicate with the Beast Tamer Association and directly buy it, apart from spending a lot of money, it probably also owed them a lot of favors. Just then, Giles saw a mountain range. ¡°We can¡¯t fly straight over the Solomon Mountain Range. We can only pass through this mountain range on foot.¡± When Alina heard this, her expression became serious. This was because there were many ferocious beasts in the Solomon Mountain Range. If they flew straight over, they might be attacked by some dangerous beasts. Soon, the Swan Beastnded on the ground. It was already evening. The sunset glow hung on the horizon, creating a beautiful scene. However, the mountain range in front of them was a densely-filled forest. The depths of it was pitch ck, as if it was a ferocious beast that wanted to devour humans. It was terrifying. Giles was prepared to spend the night outside and cross this mountain range the next day. After making up his mind, he took out some camping equipment from his spatial wristband and set up camp there. Alina also helped him. Soon, a fire was lit and a tent was set up. ¡°You should get some rest first. I¡¯ll keep watch for the first half of the night.¡± Giles said to Alina as he summoned the Three-headed Hellhound. Hearing that, Alina didn¡¯t argue and went to rest in the tent. The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Giles was awakened by Alina. The two of them ate something and washed up before preparing to enter the mountain. Giles summoned the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong. After instructing them to pay attention to their surroundings, they stepped into the Solomon Mountain Range. The forest was silent. Light shone through the gaps in the branches, forming beams of light. Along the way, they encountered many ferocious beasts, but managed to kill all of them. All of a sudden, Giles heard a sound ahead and halted in his tracks. Alina heard it too. Without saying anything, she exchanged nces with Giles. Giles understood that she was asking him if he wanted to take a look. He nodded. He asked Sun Wukong to go over and take a look. It had teleportation skills, so there wasn¡¯t a need to worry about it¡¯s safety. A whileter, Sun Wukong returned and described the situation to them. ¡°There are a few Epic-rank beasts surrounding a young man over there, but those beasts can actually talk.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles¡¯ eyes narrowed. He knew that the beasts that could talk were from the Beast Blood Sect. At the thought of this, Giles felt the need to attack. Not to mention that the Beast Blood Sect was the mortal enemy of many Beast Tamers, just the fact that he had annihted a group of Beast Blood Sect members previously meant that it was destined for there to be a grudge between them. Furthermore, it was just a few Epic-rank ferocious beasts. It would be easy for the King Kong Beast to deal with them. Thus, Giles immediately brought Alina over. ¡°Ryder, hand over that spirit beast!¡± ¡°Otherwise, you can forget about making it out alive.¡± In a slightly spacious area, a few Epic-rank beasts with blood-colored fog on their bodies said in humannguage to the man in front of them. The young man named Ryder sneered, ¡°Hmph, if you want it, you¡¯ll have to trade your lives for it.¡± Giles, who witnessed this scene, was surprised. Ryder? Can it be the person who painted the graffiti from before? Giles pondered in his heart and secretly ordered the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong to attack. Sneak attacks are immoral? That saying was non-existent with respect to the Beast Blood Sect. The King Kong Beast instantly erged and its body became unbelievably huge,parable to an ancient Godfiend. Then, it attacked the Epic-rank ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. On the other hand, Sun Wukong was holding a white staff that was nearly two meters long. With a few teleportations, it also charged into the battlefield. Sun Wukong had begged Giles for that iron rod. With no other choice, Giles could only forge one for him. Don¡¯t underestimate that weapon. Giles had spent a lot of money to make it using the bones of Legend-rank ferocious beasts. It was extremely hard. After all, Sun Wukong wouldn¡¯t have been able to use an ordinary iron rod for long. On the battlefield. The King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong¡¯s attacks had arrived. With a wave of its hand, the King Kong Beast instantly killed an Epic-rank beast. Sun Wukong was the same as well. The nearly two-meter-long staff in its hand looked extremely unnatural, but this did not affect its power. Sun Wukong continuously waved the staff in its hand. The long staff cut through the air and whooshed as itnded on the bodies of the ferocious beasts. Every strike was either fatal or caused injury. ¡°Great, great!¡± At the same time, Sun Wukong¡¯s eyes were extremely bright, and its face was filled with excitement. The members of the Beast Blood Sect were instantly stunned by Giles¡¯ sudden attack. In particr, they became extremely terrified after they saw Sun Wukong. ¡°Legend-rank Beast Tamer? Or a Legend-rank ferocious beast?¡± In the impression of all Beast Tamers, only Legend-rank ferocious beasts had the ability to transform into humans. In addition, only Legend-rank Beast Tamers could integrate with the soul of Legend-rank beasts and obtain the power of the spirit beast. At that moment, the Beast Blood Sect were shocked as they regarded Sun Wukong as one of these two types. The same went for the man called Ryder. ¡°Legend-rank ferocious beast?¡± He did not think that he was a Legend-rank Beast Tamer because he was too young. He studied Sun Wukong and the King Kong Beast who were in the arena and prepared to seize the opportunity to slip away. Although he did not know why these two ferocious beasts would attack the Beast Blood Sect, he knew that this was a good opportunity to escape.?The spirit beast in his hand must not fall into the hands of the Beast Blood Sect. However, at that moment, he saw Giles and Alina walking out. Seeing this scene, his brain felt like it could not function. ¡°Oh my god, I ran into a Legend-rank Beast Tamer!¡± he eximed, clearly treating either Giles or Alina as Legend-rank Beast Tamers. He was extremely excited. This was because there were very few Legend-rank Beast Tamers on the surface and they rarely appeared. Ryder hadn¡¯t expected to meet one today.?What¡¯s more, they are still so young. In that case, can he let this Senior do that thing? He thought to himself. On the other hand, Giles heard Ryder¡¯s cry of surprise, but he didn¡¯t bother to exin. After all, they weren¡¯t familiar with each other. ¡°Sun Wukong, King Kong Beast, quickly get rid of them.¡± Hearing this, Sun Wukong and the King Kong Beast unleashed their full strength, and many members of the Beast Blood Sect kept dying. When Ryder saw this, his face flushed red with excitement. As expected of a Legend-rank Beast Tamer! Chapter 42 - Legend-rank Beast

Chapter 42

: Legend-rank Beast

In the Solomon Mountain Range. Gilesmanded his spirit beasts to massacre the Beast Blood Sect. Soon, the Beast Blood Sect waspletely annihted. The King Kong Beast rescinded its Giantize innate skill and shrunk to about a meter tall. Carrying the white staff, Sun Wukong walked over to Giles. Ryder¡¯s eyes were filled with respect as he looked at the residual blood on their bodies and smelled the stench of blood that filled the air. ¡°Thank you for your help, Senior.¡± Ryder bowed to Giles. Giles epted this calmly. He could ept this courtesy. ¡°Your name is Ryder, right?¡± ¡°Why are they after you?¡± Giles was very curious as to how this man in front of him had offended the Beast Blood Sect. Ryder was a man who looked to be in his twenties. When he heard this, Ryder exined, ¡°These people from the Beast Blood Sect actually have their eyes on the cubs of Legend-rank ferocious beasts in the mountain range. They¡¯re b*stards.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. The Beast Blood Sect is coveting spirit beasts again. What are they trying to do? ¡°The Legend-rank ferocious beast in this mountain range doesn¡¯t hate humans. On the contrary, it often saves humans who enter the mountain range by mistake. It is precisely because of its existence that the surrounding cities have never been attacked by ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°However, today, the Beast Blood Sect actually took advantage of its absence to steal its descendant. Fortunately, I found out in the nick of time.¡± ¡°Otherwise, if that Legend-rank ferocious beast finds out, who knows how many people will suffer?¡± ¡°But it was all thanks to Senior that we were able to escape this cmity.¡± With that, Ryder removed his backpack and opened it. The next moment, a furry ferocious beast appeared before everyone. It was a ferocious beast that looked like a fox. It looked like a cub and was only at the Bronze rank. However, it was not afraid of humans. After seeing Giles, it jumped into his arms. Feeling the furry sensation from the fox beast, Giles couldn¡¯t help but pet it a few times. Alina was envious when she saw this. After all, women had no means of fighting back against such cute furry animals. ¡°Senior, we must quickly send it back. Otherwise, if its mother, that Legend-rank ferocious beast, finds out, there will be serious trouble,¡± Ryder continued. Giles nodded. ¡°Do you know where to send it to? To its home?¡± ¡°To its home, of course. Its mother doesn¡¯t hate humans. We¡¯ve never been afraid of it,¡± Ryder said. When he heard this, Giles raised his eyebrows. Ryder didn¡¯t look like he was lying, but even if he was, Giles was confident that he could escape from a Legend-rank beast. ¡°Let¡¯s go over there then.¡± Giles carried the little fox. Then, he and Alina trailed after Ryder. After about half an hour, a wooden house appeared before everyone. ¡°We¡¯re here. This is where that beast lives.¡± Giles was surprised to see this. At first, he thought that it would be a cave or something. He did not expect it to be a wooden house. In this forest, it seemed odd for some reason. ¡°Leave that child inside and we can leave.¡± ¡°Otherwise, it would be terrible if that beast mistook us for viins,¡± Ryder said. Upon hearing this, Giles stroked the little fox in his arms and ced it on the ground. ¡°Alright, Little Fox, you¡¯re home. Quickly go home.¡± Unexpectedly, the Little Fox actually jumped into Giles¡¯ arms again, as if it didn¡¯t want to leave him. Looking at this situation, Giles did not know whether tough or cry. Just then¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t treat good people as viins. Thank you for today,¡± a weak voice came from behind them. Upon hearing this, Giles shuddered and swiftly spun around. It was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She had a pretty face and exuded a charm that only mature women possessed. Even Alina couldn¡¯t help but feel inferior in front of this woman. Looking at the woman in front of him, Giles became extremely alert. The reason was that it was the Legend-rank ferocious beast that Ryder had mentioned! ¡°Sir, there¡¯s no need to be so cautious. If I wanted to attack you, I would have done so long ago.¡± ¡°My daughter has already told me the entire story. I really have to thank you guys this time.¡± ¡°Pleasee to my house as guests and let me express my gratitude,¡± the woman said with a smile, just like a normal human being. No one would have expected her to be a Legend-rank ferocious beast. Giles didn¡¯t turn her down, because as she said, if she wanted to attack, she would have done so long ago. ¡°In that case, thank you for your hospitality,¡± Giles said. The woman nced at him with her beautiful eyes. Then, she smiled at the little fox in his arms and walked towards the wooden house. Seeing this, Giles and the others followed her into the wooden house. In the wooden house. Giles nced around. If he did not know beforehand, it would be very difficult to imagine that this was the home of a ferocious beast. This ce was no different from a normal human home. It was clean, tidy, and had a faint fragrance in it. After the woman brought Giles and the others in, she walked into the kitchen to cook. After a while, the woman brought sandwiches, cheese, and grilled chicken to the table. Just like how humans treated each other to meals, it made Giles feel extremely conflicted. After the woman sat down and invited everyone to eat, Ryder didn¡¯t stand on ceremony. He gobbled down what was on the table like a famished ghost. Alina turned to look at Giles. That was a sign to him to ask, Do we eat? Giles nodded. Alina heaved a sigh of relief and picked up a sandwich to eat. Giles didn¡¯t eat. Instead, he studied the woman across from him. ¡°I still don¡¯t know your name, Sir?¡± The woman spoke. When her voice reached Giles, it made him feel weak and numb. ¡°My name is Giles.¡± ¡°His name is Ryder. This girl¡¯s name is Alina.¡± Giles calmly made the introductions to the woman. ¡°Thank you for today, everyone.¡± ¡°Mr Giles, there¡¯s something I need your help with.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about it.¡± The woman pointed to the little fox in Giles¡¯ arms. Upon hearing this, Giles subconsciously stroked the little fox. ¡°What is it?¡± The next moment, the woman¡¯s words stunned Giles. ¡°I want you to take my daughter with you.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles was confused. He looked at the woman and wondered what she was up to. ¡°I have a feeling that it will have a greater future if it follows you.¡± Giles shuddered involuntarily. As expected of a Legend-rank beast. Are its senses that sharp? Giles agreed with the woman¡¯s words. This was because the spirit beasts in his hands could evolve into terrifying existences once they heard his stories. But how did this Legend-rank beast know this? The woman simply smiled at Giles and said nothing more. At that moment, Ryder stopped eating and looked around, feeling like he didn¡¯t know what was going on. A momentter, Giles nodded and eded to the woman¡¯s request. Chapter 43 - Running into the Beast Blood Sect Again, The Terrifying Power of a Legend-rank Beast

Chapter 43: Running into the Beast Blood Sect Again, The Terrifying Power of a Legend-rank Beast

In the Solomon Mountain Range. Giles and the others were about to leave this mountain range. Not far from here was the city that Ryder lived in, Saint Etienne City. At that moment, Giles was still carrying the little fox. Faced with the woman¡¯s request, Giles chose to ede. In any case, he would not lose out. At the same time, that woman gave the three of them many beast cores. There were many Gold-rank and Epic-rank items. These items were enough for a person to live a carefree life. However, Giles didn¡¯t care much about all that. Presently, Giles was preparing to challenge the Beast-taming Gym in Saint Etienne City. ¡°Ryder, please bring us to the Beast-taming Gym in the cityter,¡± Giles said to Ryder. Ryder was stunned when he heard this. ¡°Why are you guys going to the Beast-taming Gym?¡± ¡°To challenge the gym,¡± Giles answered directly. Upon hearing this, Ryder had a strange expression on his face. ¡°You¡¯re already a Legend-rank Beast Tamer, yet you still want to challenge the gym?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles knew that he had misunderstood. ¡°I¡¯m not a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. That¡¯s just the innate skill of my spirit beasts.¡± Upon hearing this, Ryder stared at Giles in disbelief. He did not expect Giles, who was also an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, to be so terrifying. Just then¡­ A vibration suddenly came from the forest in front of them. At the same time, the shrills of ferocious beasts rang out in the sky. Giles had an ominous feeling and immediately kept his guard up. Sure enough, the next moment, a Saber-toothed Tiger appeared before all of them. The Saber-toothed Tiger was an Epic-rank beast. Its long and narrow beast eyes scanned the group. Then, its gazended on Giles and it looked greedily at the little fox in his arms. Seeming to have sensed the malice in its eyes, the little fox hid in Giles¡¯ arms and dared not show its head. ¡°Give me the spirit beast in your hand!¡± ¡°Otherwise, all of you will have to die!¡± A hoarse and awful-sounding voice came from the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s mouth. ¡°He¡¯s from the Beast Blood Sect.¡± Giles¡¯ raised his eyebrows. ¡°Why are you guys going around looking for these spirit beasts?¡± Giles recalled the members of the Beast Blood Sect that he had annihted in the gym previously. They were also there for the spirit beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank. These people in front of him had alsoe for the cubs of Legend-rank beasts. ¡°Cut the crap. Hand it over and we¡¯ll spare your life!¡± Then, before Giles could answer, countless blood-colored glow appeared on the bodies of the ferocious beasts behind it. It was the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Ignition Technique. It could burn one¡¯s blood essence to increase one¡¯sbat strength. The Gold-rank beasts instantly possessed the power of Epic-rank beasts. A thick blood-red glow appeared on the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s body. Its aura gradually became stronger. It felt like it was just short of breaking through to the Legend rank. On the other hand, there were also many flying beasts burning their blood essence using the Blood Ignition Technique and all of them had Epic-rank strength! Seeing this, even Ryder, who had seen Giles fight before, panicked. He gulped nervously. ¡°Giles, why don¡¯t we just quickly run away?¡± ¡°There are too many of them. We can¡¯t defeat them at all.¡± Alina studied the scene before her. She also had a bad feeling, but she knew that Giles was definitely not afraid. The next moment, she saw Giles shake his head. ¡°They¡¯ve already surrounded us. We can¡¯t escape even if we want to.¡± ¡°Furthermore, the ones who should be fleeing are not us, but them,¡± Giles said calmly. When the Saber-toothed Tiger heard this, its eyes revealed contempt. ¡°They¡¯re still dreaming even at the brink of death. Everyone, attack and tear them apart!¡± Immediately, numerous ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect attacked Giles and the others. Seeing this, Ryder summoned his Epic-rank spirit beast, the Iron-tailed Crocodile. Then, itmanded it to fight the ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. The King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong also joined the battle. They were basically unstoppable and quickly killed many ferocious beasts. When the Saber-toothed Tiger first saw Sun Wukong¡¯s terrifyingbat power, it was shocked and thought that it was a Legend-rank spirit beast. However, after looking at it for a while, he realized that it was not a Legend-rank spirit beast. Greed immediately rose within him. A Gold-rank spirit beast that is actually able to transform into a human form. If they captured it and brought it back to the headquarters, it would definitely not be a small credit. With this thought in mind, the Saber-toothed Tiger looked at Giles and the others with even more greed in his eyes. On the other hand, Giles calmly summoned the Three-headed Hellhound. The next moment¡­ Soul Poison activated! The mes burning on the Three-Headed Hellhound instantly erupted, and then turned into a ck-glow barrier that enveloped Giles and the others. Some ferocious beasts managed to get past the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong andunched an attack towards Giles and the others. When Ryder saw this, he thought he was going to die. He closed his eyes and waited for thest moment of his life to arrive. Suddenly, he realized that nothing had happened. He opened his eyes and looked around. His eyes narrowed as he saw that outside the ck barrier, any ferocious beasts that approached them rapidly copsed onto the ground and lost their lives. Soul Poison was a poison that directly affected the soul. No one below the Legend rank could stop it. The Saber-toothed Tiger had thought that they would easily seed in this operation, but it was dumbfounded when it witnessed this scene. ¡°You bunch of trash, get up!¡± He roared furiously, but it was of no use. This was because the souls of his subordinates had beenpletely corroded by the poison. Even if God was alive again, he would not be able to save them. At the same time, the King Kong Beast, Sun Wukong, and Ryder¡¯s Iron-tailed Crocodile had also killed many ferocious beasts. Right now, their gazes had alreadynded on the Saber-toothed Tiger. However, before they could attack, a beautiful figure descended from the sky. ¡°You tried to capture my child previously, and now you¡¯re attacking my guests. Go to God and repent for your mistakes!¡± It was the woman from before. With a wave of her hand, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s head. Then, its neck tilted to the side and it lost its life. Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ expression turned grave. Is this the strength of a Legend-rank beast? He had to admit that it was indeed terrifying. Chapter 44 - Collecting the Second Gym Badge and Heading for the Match

Chapter 44: Collecting the Second Gym Badge and Heading for the Match

In the mountain range. The Legend-rank beast that had transformed into a woman had wiped out the people from the Beast Blood Sect in just one blow. Giles could not help but be secretly shocked. After all, he had nevere across the power of a Legend-rank beast. At that moment, the woman¡¯s beautiful face was filled with anger. Clearly, she was furious. Previously, it was the Beast Blood Sect that had attacked and tried to take her descendant away. Unexpectedly, they still did not give up. This undoubtedly enraged this Legend-rank beast. After getting rid of all the members of the Beast Blood Sect, she turned around and looked at Giles and the others. The anger on her face gradually dissipated. She gave the little fox in Giles¡¯ arms a long look. Even so, she didn¡¯t change her decision and let Giles take the little fox away. This was because when she first saw Giles, she had already sensed his extraordinary aura. It was not a hallucination, but the innate skill of a ferocious beast like her. Her true form was a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox. Although it was called a nine-tailed beast, it only had one tail when it was born. Only when it became stronger would a new tail grow out. For example, she only had six tails at the Legend rank now. Only if she evolved to the Mythic-rank, would she be able to have nine tails. Aside from that, ferocious beasts like her also had a special innate skill, Luck Seeking and Avoiding Danger. It literally meant that one could sense danger and opportunities. When she saw Giles, she had an inexplicable feeling that there would be unimaginable benefits from following him. However, as a Legend-rank ferocious beast, she was the ruler of this mountain range. She had always advocated peace and suppressed the ferocious beasts in the mountain range to prevent them from attacking human cities. It was impossible for her to just up and leave. Therefore, she changed her ns and prepared to hand her descendant over to Giles. Perhaps her descendent could benefit from it. ¡°Mr Giles, beyond this dense forest is Saint Etienne City. I won¡¯t be sending you off. Have a safe journey, everyone,¡± the woman said to Giles and the others. Giles nodded. ¡°Thank you for your help, Madam. I¡¯ll see you again if there¡¯s a chance.¡± The woman smiled and took onest look at the Little Fox. Her eyes were filled with reluctance but she still left in a sh. When the Little Fox saw this, it scratched Giles¡¯ chest a few times with its ws before falling silent. ¡°Ryder, you lead the way. We¡¯re going to Saint Etienne City,¡± Giles said. At the same time, Giles also established a contract with the Little Fox in his arms. After all, this was a wild beast. He would only be at ease after contracting it. Perhaps the woman had reminded the Little Fox previously, so there was no resistance from it at all and they sessfully established the contract. Seeing this, Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel a little moved. Previously, he was just a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer who was called trash. Now, he had actually contracted so many spirit beasts. However, there were many Bronze-rank spirit beasts amongst them. Other than the Little Fox, they had all been brought out from the gym. At the same time, Giles was also curious about how powerful his soul strength was. After all, most Beast Tamers could not contract so many spirit beasts. Even for Bronze-rank spirit beasts, they would not be able to contract many of them. This was because if they controlled too many ferocious beasts, it would be very difficult for Beast Tamers to withstand the chaotic thoughts of those spirit beasts. Therefore, most Beast Tamers only contracted a few spirit beasts before stopping. In the world of Beast Tamers, there had never been someone like Giles, who had contracted more than ten beasts as if it were nothing. Furthermore, Giles didn¡¯t feel any different. He even felt like he could contract more beasts. Apart from that, Giles felt that his soul strength had already exceeded the Epic rank. Perhaps he could attempt to fuse with the spirit beast and possess their power. This was an ability that only Legend-rank Beast Tamers could possess. Needless to say, Giles was very envious of this ability. However, after reading through a lot of information, Giles had tried to amalgamate with a beast¡¯s spirit but failed. Perhaps it was not a failure, but rather, there had been no reaction at all. It was not untilter that Giles learned that a unique method was needed to amalgamate with a beast¡¯s spirit. This method was strictly kept by the Beast Tamers and could only be obtained by passing the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s evaluation and bing a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. Although his few spirit beasts had sick abilities, Giles did not think that he could pass the evaluation. Only by waiting till he possessed a Legend-rank spirit beast could he obtain the method to amalgamate with the beast¡¯s spirit. After all, Giles had always yearned to possess the power of a spirit beast. Of course, it wasn¡¯t like that of the Beast Blood Sect. Their method simply didn¡¯t treat humans as humans and just turned them straight into ferocious beasts. It was utterly crazy. There was no problem with the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s early doctrine. However, the mistake was that the actions of the Beast Blood Sect members had already severely deviated from this doctrine, and it eventually caused many Beast Tamers to scorn them. ¡°Giles, this is the Beast-taming Gym in our city.¡± After leaving the Solomon Mountain Range, Giles and the others rode the Swan Beast to the Beast-taming Gym in Saint Etienne City. Just then, a thought suddenly urred to Giles. ¡°Ryder, was it you who painted the graffiti at the Conor Gym in Erding City?¡± The young man scratched his head embarrassedly. ¡°That¡¯s right, I did it.¡± Giles was curious. ¡°Why did you do that?¡± Faced with Giles¡¯ curiosity, Ryder exined the reason with a red face. It turned out that Ryder had taken a fancy to the daughter of Conor Gym¡¯s Gym Leader. He was shy and did not dare to court her directly. He could only use this method to attract the girl¡¯s attention. Upon hearing this, Giles wasn¡¯t the only one who was speechless. Even Alina covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this. ¡°How can you court a girl like that? That girl probably wants to beat you up,¡± Giles said with a smile. ¡°By the way, I just challenged the gym leader there. I didn¡¯t see the girl you mentioned.¡± ¡°She¡¯s a genius Beast Tamer in our area. She¡¯s already an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at a young age. A few days ago, she received an invitation from the Beast Tamer Association and went to the location of the Beast Tamer Friendly Match.¡± When Giles heard this, he was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, he had heard information about an opponent before he even reached thepetition venue. ¡°That¡¯s a coincidence. Giles is also participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match. When the timees, we can see what kind of girl made Ryder so infatuated,¡± Alina smiled and said. Ryder looked at Giles in shock. He had not expected Giles to be participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match as well. However, when he thought of Giles¡¯ two terrifying spirit beasts, he immediately understood that Giles was indeed qualified. The Beast-taming Gym in this city was called the Joseph Gym. The Gym Leader was also an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but he was powerless against Giles¡¯ extraordinary King Kong Beast. Giles sessfully obtained the badge exclusive to the second gym. Beside him, even though Ryder had witnessed Giles¡¯ terrifying strength previously, he was still extremely shocked. Giles did not stay in this city for long, as the next city was the location of the Beast Tamer Friendly Match. Furthermore, it was almost time for thepetition to begin. Chapter 45 - New Challenge, Gym Leader with Terrifying Abilities

Chapter 45: New Challenge, Gym Leader with Terrifying Abilities

Eugene City in Marnd was the venue of the Beast Tamer Friendly Match. After Giles rushed over, he immediately felt that something was different. ¡°There are so many people here,¡± Ryder said as he looked at the bustling crowd walking along the street. Giles nodded in agreement. This was also what he was thinking. As for why Ryder had tagged along, it was because he was also a contestant for this Beast Tamer Friendly Match. Giles was not surprised. After all, he had be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at a young age and was qualified to participate in thepetition. Without stopping for long, Giles led the group to search for a hotel. Thepetition wouldn¡¯t begin until the next day, so Giles and the others couldn¡¯t just wait around. After finding a hotel and settling in, Alina found Giles. ¡°Giles, I¡¯ll head over to the Beast Tamer Association first to validate that stalk of Dragon Blood Grass.¡± Giles nodded. In his opinion, this was normal. After all, the Dragon Blood Grass concerned Alina¡¯s life and death. It was impossible for her not to take it to heart. After Alina left, Giles felt that he couldn¡¯t just wait around. He prepared to head to the Beast-taming Gym in the city to issue a challenge and obtain the third gym badge. After telling Ryder about it, Ryder also agreed with him. Thus, the two of them walked out of the hotel and asked passersby about the location of the gym before heading there. Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination. The name of this gym was Gene Gym. When Giles and Ryder walked in, they were surprised to see a lot of people around. ¡°Sophia? Is she here to challenge the gym too?¡± Ryder said when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. ¡°Oh, Sophia is the girl I like. I didn¡¯t expect her to be here too,¡± Ryder exined when he saw that Giles was confused. Upon hearing this, Giles smiled. ¡°Probably because the Beast Tamer Friendly Match has yet to begin, so many people have the same idea as us. They all conveniently came to challenge the gym.¡± Giles couldn¡¯t help but recall the Gym Tournament from before. At that time, nge Gym in nge City had probably been challenged by many people. However, Giles hadn¡¯t thought of this at that time and didn¡¯t know the details. Ryder nodded in agreement. Just then, there was a discussion in the crowd. ¡°Look, it¡¯s York. He¡¯s at the Epic rank at such a young age. I wonder if he can defeat the Gym Leader.¡± ¡°Hard to say. York is indeed powerful, but the Gym Leader is very experienced inbat. It¡¯s hard to say.¡± ¡°I think so too. If it¡¯s that easy to defeat the gym leader, how can there be so many people?¡± ¡­ Hearing the discussion around him, Giles sized up the two people in the arena. The Gym Leader was a beautiful woman in her thirties. She had a pretty face and a curvy figure that made people urge tomit a crime. This was obvious from the way many men were gawking at her. Across from the Gym Leader was a handsome young man. At that moment, he was staring fixedly at the Gym Leader, his face filled with fighting spirit. Then, he summoned an Epic-rank beast, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros. On the other hand, the Gym Leader had also summoned her Epic-rank beast, the Saber-toothed Tiger. Upon seeing the Gym Leader¡¯s spirit beast, Giles could not help but take a second nce. This was because the leader of the Beast Blood Sect group they had run into previously, was also a Saber-toothed Tiger. The two people in the arena did not know about Giles¡¯ thoughts. The battle between the two began. ¡°Silver-horned Rhinoceros, use your ¡®Thunderbolt¡¯ skill.¡± Under themand of the young man named York, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros¡¯ horn emitted a thunderbolt that shot towards the Saber-toothed Tiger. The Gym Leader remainedposed andmanded the Saber-toothed Tiger to sessfully dodge the attack. After that, the Gym Leader¡¯s counterattack ensued. ¡°Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ¡®Speed¡¯ skill.¡± ¡°Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ¡®Diamond w¡¯ skill.¡± The next moment, the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s speed increased in a split second. Then, it turned into a blur as it charged towards the Silver-horned Rhinoceros. York¡¯s expression changed drastically. He knew that he had to withstand the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s attack, or else this battle would end in his failure. York didn¡¯t even think about dodging the attack. The reason for that was because with the Silver Horned Rhinoceros¡¯ size, it was impossible for it to dodge. Therefore, it could only forcibly withstand this attack! ¡°Silver-horned Rhinoceros, use your skill ¡®Thunderbolt Shield¡¯.¡± The next moment, a sh of thunder appeared from the Silver Horned Rhino¡¯s horn again. Then, the thunderbolt spread out in front of it, forming a shield made of thunderbolts. At the same time, the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s attack arrived. York watched nervously. The oue of this battle would depend on whether he could hold up against this attack. A cold gleam shed across the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s eyes. Then, it quickly arrived beside the Silver-horned Rhinoceros. The next moment, it extended its sharp ws. Then, under York¡¯s shocked gaze, it broke the Thunderbolt Shield in front of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros andnded on the Rhinoceros¡¯ body. The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros let out a deep cry and copsed onto the ground. It seemed to have lost its ability to fight. Seeing this, Giles stroked his chin. This Gym Leader was terrifyingly powerful, and Giles had a feeling that her Saber-toothed Tiger was not simple. ¡°York actually lost. He couldn¡¯t even withstand a single blow.¡± ¡°That¡¯s normal. You aren¡¯t a local, are you? Ever since the current Gym Leader took over the gym, no one has sessfully won a challenge against her.¡± ¡°What? Is she that powerful?¡± ¡°Hehe, another person wants to challenge the Gym Leader. You¡¯ll find out after you continue watching.¡± ¡­ Giles looked towards the arena. He realised that the new challenger was Sophia, the girl whom Ryder fancied. After Sophia went up to the arena, she did not say anything and simply summoned her Epic-rank beast, the Purple-winged Wind Butterfly. The Gym Leader continued using the Epic-rank Saber-toothed Tiger. ¡°Gym Leader, I¡¯m going to begin,¡± Sophia said softly while staring at the beautiful woman. The Gym Leader nodded. ¡°Purple-winged Wind Butterfly, use your ¡®Tornado¡¯ skill!¡± The next moment, a tornado that was visible to the naked eye enveloped the entire arena, including Saber-toothed Tiger. However, the Saber-toothed Tiger did not seem to be affected at all. Its four ws dug into the arena like nails, and its body remained motionless. Only the fur on its body swayed with the wind. ¡°Purple-winged Wind Butterfly, use your ¡®Sleeping Pollen¡¯.¡± Sophia did not expect to defeat the Gym Leader by just using the ¡®Tornado¡¯ skill and continued unleashing her spirit beast¡¯s skills. Immediately, a colorful and sparkling powder scattered from the wings of the Purple-winged Wind Butterfly and flew towards the Saber-toothed Tiger along with the tornado. ¡°That pollen can cause spirit beasts below the Legend rank to fall into a deep slumber. I wonder if the Gym Leader¡¯s Saber-toothed Tiger can withstand it.¡± ¡°Are you kidding? How can the Gym Leader remain still and let the opponent counterattack? Look, the Gym Leader¡¯s attack is about to begin.¡± ¡°As a local, I know the Gym Leader¡¯s strength very well. She definitely won¡¯t lose.¡± ¡­ Sophia could hear some of the chatter below the arena, but she ignored it. Instead, she stared hard at the Saber-toothed Tiger. ¡°Saber-Toothed Tiger, use your ¡®Tiger Roar¡¯ skill.¡± The next moment, a loud roar came from the Saber-toothed Tiger. When this voice reached everyone¡¯s ears, they immediately felt a buzzing in their ears and the image of a ferocious tiger howling in the forest appeared in their minds. In the arena, the Purple-winged Wind Butterfly that the Saber-toothed Tiger had locked onto, suffered the blow and fainted. It fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight. ¡°Like I said, the Gym Leader is very powerful. She won¡¯t lose.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. The oue of these two matches were decided in one blow. As expected of the Gym Leader.¡± ¡°With these two precedents, I don¡¯t think anyone will want to challenge the Gym Leader anymore,¡± someone in the crowd said. However, just as someone beside him nodded in agreement, a youth in his twenties stepped into the arena. He smiled at the Gym Leader, revealing his white teeth. ¡°Gym Leader, I¡¯m here to challenge you.¡± Chapter 46 - What? The Gym Leader is actually at the Legend rank?

Chapter 46: What? The Gym Leader is actually at the Legend rank?

In the gym. Everyone looked at the person in the arena in shock. ¡°Is he crazy? There really are people who are looking to be tortured. The two people from before didn¡¯t seed in the challenge previously, yet someone still wants to challenge the Gym Leader?¡± ¡°Who knows? Maybe he just came and didn¡¯t watch the two battles just now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right. He was standing beside me just now. He saw the Gym Leader¡¯s battle. Is he really that strong or is he just trying his luck?¡± ¡­ The people in the gym discussed fervently, but no matter how they discussed, none of them felt that the Gym Leader would lose. They had such thoughts just by watching the two battles from before. However, there was only one person who didn¡¯t think so, and that was Ryder. This was because it was Giles who had gone up to challenge her. He had witnessed Giles¡¯ terrifying strength. In his eyes, with Giles¡¯ strength, it was even possible for him to win the Beast Tamer Friendly Match tomorrow. Let alone this gym in front of them. Giles will definitely win. In the arena, the Gym Leader nodded without saying anything in response to Giles¡¯ challenge. Seeing this, Giles pondered for a moment before summoning the King Kong Beast. ¡°Let¡¯s begin, then,¡± Giles said beforemanding the King Kong Beast to begin the battle. ¡°King Kong Beast, use your innate skill ¡®Giantize¡¯.¡± The next moment, the King Kong Beast¡¯s body began to growrger andrger until it was thirty meters tall. Its body emitted a terrifying aura like that of an ancient Godfiend. Seeing this scene, the people below the arena were also extremely shocked. ¡°Oh my God, what kind of beast is this? Why is it so terrifying?!¡± ¡°I feel like we¡¯re just ants in front of this spirit beast. Can the Gym Leader win?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. No wonder he challenged the Gym Leader. With his spirit beast, he might really seed.¡± ¡­ At the same time, the Gym Leader in the arena looked surprised when she saw this scene, but she quickly regained herposure. ¡°Saber-toothed Tiger, use ¡®Speed¡¯.¡± Unlike before, the Gym Leader attacked first. Hearing the order, the Saber-toothed Tiger instantly turned into a blur and charged towards the King Kong Beast. ¡°Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ¡®Diamond w¡¯.¡± As soon as it reached the King Kong Beast, the Saber-toothed Tiger carried out themand with a fierce gaze in its eyes. Its two front ws were like sharp weapons as it attacked the King Kong Beast. However, when this attacknded on the King Kong Beast, it only severed a piece of its fur and left a few very shallow wounds on its skin. ¡°No way, the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s attacks are like scratching an itch when theynd on its body?¡± ¡°The Gym Leader really met her match this time. She might lose.¡± ¡°No matter how you look at the previous challenges, they were all Epic-rank spirit beasts. Why is the difference so huge?¡± ¡­ Giles heard their discussion but naturally, he wouldn¡¯t exin to them. After the King Kong Beast used its Giantize innate skill, it would not be as simple as just growing bigger. Rather, its entire body had be stronger. Be it defense or speed, they were all greatly enhanced. This was the reason for this oue. It could be said that the King Kong Beast was invincible at the Epic rank. On the other hand, the Gym Leader was also shocked when she saw the results. Initially, she thought that even if she might not be able to defeat her opponent right off the bat, she would still be able to injure the King Kong Beast. She did not expect this situation. However, she did not give up andmanded the Saber-toothed Tiger to continue attacking. ¡°Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ¡®Diamond w¡¯ to attack your opponent continuously.¡± Hearing this, the Saber-toothed Tiger immediately obeyed the order and began to leave wounds on the King Kong Beast¡¯s body. Needless to say, Giles wouldn¡¯t just defend and not attack. ¡°King Kong Beast, do as you please and defeat your opponent.¡± Other than this Giantize innate skill that could increase itsbat strength, the King Kong Beast didn¡¯t have any other skills. After all, to the King Kong Beast, its terrifying strength was sufficient. In the face of the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s continuous attacks, the King Kong Beast appeared to be a little frustrated. The Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s entire body was only about three to four meters tall. In the eyes of the King Kong Beast that was over thirty meters tall, it was just a tiny bug. However, it was this bug that was harassing it incessantly. This filled the King Kong Beast with rage. It hammered its chest a few times with its hands, then let out a furious roar as its huge palms grabbed at the Saber-toothed Tiger. Seeing this, the Saber-Toothed Tiger wanted to use its ¡®Speed¡¯ skill to dodge. However, the King Kong Beast¡¯s speed was extremely fast, in a way that waspletely ipatible with its massive body. In an instant, it grabbed the Saber-toothed Tiger. ¡°Oh my god, is the Gym Leader going to lose just like that?¡± ¡°What other weaknesses does this King Kong Beast have? Its strength, defense, and speed are all at the top. Only a Legend-rank spirit beast can fight against it.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see the Gym Leader lose today. This is unbelievable.¡± ¡­ The crowd was discussing fervently. They all felt that the Gym Leader was about to lose. However, something unexpected happened. Just as the King Kong Beast was about to teach the Saber-toothed Tiger a lesson, the Saber-toothed Tiger disappeared in the blink of an eye. Giles saw this too and froze. Then, something unimaginable happened. The Saber-toothed Tiger must have deployed some skill as it returned to the Gym Leader¡¯s side. ¡°Master, I can¡¯t defeat this King Kong Beast with my Epic-rank strength. Do you want me to unleash my strength?¡± Upon hearing this, Giles immediately felt like his brain had stopped functioning. It spoke in humannguage. A Legend-rank spirit beast? Giles couldn¡¯t help but specte as he looked at the Gym Leader. ¡°There¡¯s no need, Little Gold.¡± The Gym Leader stroked the Saber-toothed Tiger¡¯s head before looking at Giles. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet an Epic-rank Beast Tamer with such terrifying abilities today. You can actually defeat Little Gold, who is at the Epic rank.¡± ¡°You won this challenge. This is the gym¡¯s badge.¡± With that, the Gym Leader walked over to Giles and handed him a badge exclusive to Gene Gym. Giles subconsciously took the badge from her. ¡°Gym Leader, are you a Legend-rank Beast Tamer?¡± Even though it was a question, Giles already knew the answer. He just wanted to make sure. Hearing Giles¡¯ words, the Gym Leader nodded. When he saw the Gym Leader confirming that, Giles was still a little shocked even though he had already guessed it. He had just seen a Legend-rank beast just before this. He did not expect to meet a Legend-rank Beast Tamer today and even challenge her. Thinking of this, Giles felt like he was dreaming. At the same time, the people below the arena also saw what was happening in the arena. They immediately went nuts. ¡°It speaks in humannguage. That¡¯s a Legend-rank spirit beast. We actually kept challenging a Legend-rank ferocious beast. No wonder we lost!¡± ¡°Oh my God, the Gym Leader is actually a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. That¡¯s hard to imagine. No wonder the Gym Leader has never lost.¡± ¡°That person actually defeated the Gym Leader. This is unbelievable. Although the Saber-toothed Tiger only used the power of an Epic-rank beast, it is still unbelievable.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If this person is also participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, it will be interesting to watch tomorrow¡¯s match. I dare to bet that this person definitely has a chance of winning!¡± ¡­ Chapter 47 - Incurring Hatred, News of the Competition

Chapter 47: Incurring Hatred, News of the Competition

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the Gene Gym. Everyone stared at Giles in shock.?It was such a person who had defeated a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. Although he had only used Epic-rank power, it was still extremely terrifying. At that moment, all of them were looking at Giles respectfully. Strong people deserved respect. Amongst the crowd, York and Sophia had yet to leave. When they learned that the Gym Leader was a Legend-rank Beast Tamer, their hearts were filled with bitterness and shock. . The bitterness was because they still wanted to defeat the Legend-rank Gym Leader. The shock came from seeing Giles¡¯ battle with the Gym Leader. One had to know that even if the Gym Leader only used the power of an Epic-rank beast, it was still more powerful than ordinary Epic-rank beasts. This was because Legend-rank beasts possessed the Power of the Universe. After going through a long period of nurturing, theirbat strength would definitely not be low. However, even so, it was still defeated by Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast. Does this mean that the King Kong Beast is invincible against those below the Legend rank? Thinking of this, they immediately felt immense pressure. They could only hope that this person was not participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match. However, they knew that the possibility of this was slim. If it were not to participate in this Beast Tamer Friendly Match, why would such a young Epic-rank Beast Tamere to Eugene City? At that moment, they had already regarded Giles as their greatest enemy in thepetition this time. On the other hand, Giles had already stepped out of the arena. Ryder walked over to him, still looking astonished. ¡°Hah¡­ Giles, you¡¯re really impressive!¡± ¡°You even defeated a Legend-rank Beast Tamer.¡± Gilesughed and shook his head. ¡°That¡¯s just because the Gym Leader didn¡¯t use her true strength. Otherwise, I would definitely lose.¡± Ryder scratched his head. ¡°Giles, you¡¯re being modest. You¡¯ll definitely be the champion of this Beast Tamer Friendly Match.¡± Just as Giles was about to speak, a discordant voice rang out, ¡°Who is this who is being so arrogant to say that he¡¯ll ¡®definitely be the champion of this Beast Tamer Friendly Match¡¯?¡± A young man with short hair walked over and looked at Giles and Ryder disdainfully. ¡°You want to win the Beast Tamer Friendly Match with just you two?¡± ¡°You must be dreaming!¡± ¡°Quickly move aside and don¡¯t block the way. I want to challenge the Gym Leader.¡± ¡°I heard that this gym has never lost before. Let me defeat her today.¡± When Ryder heard this, he immediately wanted to go up and reason with the young man. Giles stopped him, then pointed behind him. At first, Ryder didn¡¯t understand Giles¡¯ intention. He turned his head and saw the Gym Leader behind him. Realisation instantly dawned on him. Then, with a smile on his face, he made way for the young man. Seeing this scene, the short-haired youth looked at Giles and Ryder with even more disdain. Then, he went straight into the arena and summoned his Epic-rank beast, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion. ¡°Giles, do you think he can win?¡± Ryder asked. ¡°Only if his spirit beast has the Power of the Universe,¡± Giles said. When he heard this, Ryder understood. What Giles meant was that it was only if the youth¡¯s spirit beast evolved to the Legend rank. In the arena, the battle had already begun. The Gym Leader was still using the Saber-toothed Tiger. At that moment, the Saber-toothed Tiger seemed even more dangerous. Perhaps it was because the King Kong Beast had defeated it earlier, so it urgently needed to vent its anger. Hence, the short-haired youth¡¯s Epic-rank beast, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion, became its target to vent its anger on. Before the Gym Leader could give themand, the Saber-toothed Tiger had already started moving. Its body turned into a blur as it charged towards the Golden-eyed Savage Lion. The short-haired youth was shocked when he saw this scene. Then, he quickly reacted. ¡°Golden-eyed Savage Lion, use your skill ¡®Immobilization¡¯.¡± The next moment, a beam of golden light shot out from the Golden-eyed Lion¡¯s eyes towards the Saber-toothed Tiger. However, to the young man¡¯s surprise, the Saber-toothed Tiger dodged the golden light. It was extremely fast. Seeing this, the short-haired youth panicked. ¡°Golden-eyed Savage Lion, continue to use ¡®Immobilization¡¯!¡± This was the innate skill of the Golden-eyed Savage Lion. Any creature that was struck by the golden light would be immobilized. The short-haired youth hade to challenge the Gym Leader precisely because this skill gave him confidence. This was because before this match, he had relied on this move to defeat many people. It even helped him obtain a high ranking in their State¡¯s Gym Tournament. However, this skill that he thought was very powerful actually met its match here. The Saber-Toothed Tiger continuously evaded the Golden-eyed Savage Lion¡¯s attacks. At the same time, it rapidly approached the Golden-eyed Savage Lion, and the distance between the two continued to close. ¡°Golden-eyed Savage Lion, dodge quickly.¡± The short-haired youth¡¯s expression changed drastically, but it was toote. The Saber-toothed Tiger quickly arrived beside the Golden-eyed Lion and stretched out its two sharp front ws. Skill: Diamond w, activated. A few streaks of cold light shed. A number of wounds appeared on the Golden-eyed Savage Lion¡¯s body. It copsed on the ground, panting heavily and losing its ability to fight. Seeing this, the Saber-toothed Tiger did not attack again. It raised one of its front paws and licked the blood on it, its body filled with a violent aura. The short-haired youth did not expect this oue. He retrieved the Golden-eyed Savage Lion and walked off the arena. Below the arena were the people who had yet to leave. ¡°I thought that he would be another powerful Beast Tamer. Turns out he¡¯s so weak. He died in one blow.¡± ¡°Yeah, I was still wondering who this courageous Beast Tamer is. I didn¡¯t expect it to be someone who doesn¡¯t seem to know anything.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, shouldn¡¯t investigation be done before the challenge? The Gym Leader has just revealed her strength as a Legend-rank Beast Tamer, yet someone foolishly came to challenge her. I¡¯m dying ofughter.¡± ¡­ Upon hearing this, the short-haired youth was gobsmacked. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the Gym Leader. Legend-rank Beast Tamer? Then, he calmed his shocked heart and prepared to leave. Except that when he passed by Giles and Ryder again, Ryder took the badge from Giles¡¯ hand and said, ¡°Aiya, who was the one who said that he wanted to challenge the gym? I didn¡¯t expect him to be defeated so quickly.¡± ¡°Giles, you¡¯re still the best. You easily defeated the Gym Leader.¡± Upon hearing this, the short-haired youth nced at the badge in Ryder¡¯s hand. It was indeed the badge of the Gene Gym. Then, he red at Giles and Ryder with venom in his eyes. Then, he left the ce. ¡°Giles, I don¡¯t think he¡¯s a good person.¡± Ryder handed the badge back to Giles who clearly noticed the young man¡¯s expression as well. ¡°It¡¯s alright. He¡¯s just a passerby.¡± Since there was already enmity between them, there was no need to think too much about it. With the badge in hand, there was no need for him to stay here any longer. After that, the two of them returned to the hotel. Alina had also returned from the Beast Tamer Association with a piece of news. ¡°I heard that this match is going to be different from previous matches.¡± ¡°I think thepetition will be held in the wilderness.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles and Ryder looked at each other. Then, they signaled for Alina to continue. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about the details. It seems to be rted to the wild ferocious beasts outside the city.¡± Chapter 48 - The Competition Begins

Chapter 48: The Competition Begins

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the hotel. Ryder had returned to his room. Alina only obtained that bit of information, so he didn¡¯t stay any longer. After Ryder left, Giles looked at Alina and asked, ¡°Did you see the Dragon Blood Grass?¡± Giles thought it best not to let Ryder know about Alina¡¯s illness. After all, they weren¡¯t considered friends. Alina shook her head. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that the Beast Tamer Association has prepared it for you?¡± Giles asked curiously. ¡°The Beast Tamer Association discovered it in the wilderness.. However, it hadn¡¯t matured yet at that time, so they didn¡¯t dare to transnt it just in case they wouldn¡¯t be able to save it.¡± ¡°Therefore, they sent some people to guard that ce. However, those people were ambushed and killed two days ago. The Dragon Blood Grass was also dug out.¡± Alina¡¯s eyes darkened. Giles understood.?Many people would not be able to bear it when hope turns to despair.? ¡°Do you know who did it?¡± Giles continued asking. ¡°It should be the Beast Blood Sect.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel a tinge of anger. It¡¯s the Beast Blood Sect again. Really don¡¯t know why they are everywhere. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The Beast Tamer Association told me that there¡¯s more than one stalk of Dragon Blood Grass in the wilderness. They¡¯re currently looking for it.¡± ¡°Also, the changes made to thispetition are actually rted to this matter.¡± Although she was disappointed, Alina didn¡¯t give up. She blinked and said this optimistically. Upon hearing this, Giles couldn¡¯t help but sigh. As expected of the top Chamber of Commerce on the continent. Even the Beast Tamer Association doesn¡¯t dare to slight it. Moreover, after hearing what Elena said, he felt that it shouldn¡¯t be a huge problem. After all, there were so many talented Beast Tamers participating in thispetition. It should be very easy to find a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass in the wilderness. After bidding each other goodnight, the two of them returned to their room to sleep. The night passed uneventfully. The next day. Giles woke up early in the morning to wash up. After breakfast with Alina and Ryder, they rushed to the Beast Tamer Association. The road was packed with people. Giles didn¡¯t want to continue squeezing his way through, so he walked to the side and summoned the Swan Beast to rush towards the Beast Tamer Association. From time to time, other flying spirit beasts would fly by in the air. Clearly, they shared the same thoughts as him. Soon, Giles and Ryder entered the hall of the Beast Tamer Association with theirpetition pass. At that moment, there were already many people in the hall. If not for the fact that this ce was spacious, it would probably not be able to hold so many people. Not long after, a gray-haired elder with a beard walked up to the tform in front of everyone. ¡°Wee to the friendly match between Beast Tamers from various states.¡± ¡°However, the rules of ourpetition have changed. It¡¯s different from before. Next, please follow me to the outskirts of the city.¡± ¡°Let me make it clear first that thispetition might be life-threatening. Tell me in advance if you wish to withdraw.¡± After saying that, the elderly man paused for a while. The crowd discussed for a while, but no one backed out. They were also discussing the rules of thepetition. After all, they were all genius Beast Tamers from the various states. If they withdrew before thepetition began, wouldn¡¯t they be treated as a joke? Seeing that no one was backing out, the elder nodded in satisfaction. Then, he summoned a flying beast and flew out of the city. Seeing this, the Beast Tamers who were participating in the tournament also summoned their flying beasts and followed the elderly man. ¡°I¡¯m not participating in the tournament. I¡¯ll be stopped if I go over.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the city. You must be careful,¡± Alina said to Giles. Giles nodded, then rode with Ryder on his Swan Beast to catch up with the big group. A whileter¡­ The elderly man and the many contestants arrived at a mountain range outside the city. ¡°This mountain range is called the Decker Mountain Range. It is the location of our knockout round.¡± ¡°ording to our investigations, there is a stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect here, as well as arge number of ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°All of you need to go in and kill as many members of the Beast Blood Sect and ferocious beasts as possible. You will receive the corresponding points for every member of the Beast Blood Sect and ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°These will be recorded with the miniature cameras worn by each of you. There is no possibility of fabricating it.¡± ¡°The points will determine your rankings. It will end in three days.¡± ¡°The Top 16 will enter the officialpetition.¡± ¡°Oh, right. There¡¯s one more thing. If anyone discovers this herb, they can obtain additional points.¡± The elderly man took out a picture and projected it in the air. Just as Giles had expected, it was the Dragon Blood Grass. Giles couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The Beast Tamer Association really had a good n in ce. They took advantage of the Beast Tamer Friendly Match with the many talented Beast Tamers around to help them dissolve the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect and also search for the Dragon Blood Grass. He believed that the others knew this as well, but they were all very confident. They were just being used by the Beast Tamer Association on a one-off basis. After all, they were the organizers of the tournament. ¡°Is there anything that anyone doesn¡¯t understand?¡± the elderly man asked. No one said anything. ¡°In that case,e up and receive your miniature cameras, everyone.¡± Soon, everyone put on their miniature cameras and began to enter the Decker Mountain Range. Giles and Ryder followed the main group into the mountains. Chapter 49 - Working Together

Chapter 49: Working Together

Outside the Decker Mountain Range. The Beast Tamers from the various states began to enter the mountain range. Giles and York had already stepped into the forest. At the same time, the miniature cameras they were wearing had already begun recording. The scene was transmitted to arge screen in Eugene City. The big screen disyed the images of many people. After all, there were many people participating in this tournament. ¡°Look, that¡¯s York from Dessa State. I heard that he can hunt Epic-rank ferocious beasts in the wilderness alone at this young age.¡± ¡°That¡¯s Sophia from Marnd. She¡¯s said to have challenged four gym leaders and won.¡± ¡°None of these people you¡¯re talking about can make it. Look at that. That guy¡¯s name is Giles. He¡¯s the champion of the Florida Gym Tournament. He defeated Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader yesterday.¡± ¡°Sss, the Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader has never lost before. He actually defeated her? Is he that terrifying?¡± ¡°Could he be the champion of thispetition?¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. If he can even defeat Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader, he might really win the championship.¡± ¡­ The images on the big screen were disyed on various websites in Eugene City. Many people could select the image of each contestant to watch. Many spectators looked at the contestants on the screen and discussed who would win the championship. Giles didn¡¯t know any of this. At that moment, he and Ryder had already summoned their spirit beasts. Giles directly summoned the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong. Ryder summoned his Epic-rank beast, the Iron-tailed Crocodile. ¡°Giles, we had better split up.¡± ¡°When I¡¯m with you, I feel like I might not even have a chance to attack,¡± Ryder said. Come to think of it, he had be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 20. He could be considered a genius. Since he was participating in this friendly match, even if he did not win the championship, he had to at least obtain a good result. Hence, Giles wasn¡¯t surprised to hear Ryder¡¯s words. He nodded in agreement before reminding Ryder, ¡°Be careful, especially with the members of the Beast Blood Sect.¡± He didn¡¯t say much more. Ryder was someone who had fought intensely with the Beast Blood Sect and was aware of their strength. Ryder nodded, before turning around and heading in the other direction. Seeing his figure gradually disappear into the forest, Giles continued forward. The King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong followed beside him like loyal guards, observing everything around them. Due to the presence of the camera, Giles did not let Sun Wukong transform into a human form. After all, that would attract too much attention, and he would not cause trouble for himself. A whileter¡­ Just as Giles crossed a small stream, Sun Wukong reminded him that there was a ferocious beast ahead. Giles immediately raised his guard. Through the dense forest, Giles saw a transparent spider web between the two trees in front of him. It could only be seen when a bit of sunlight shone on it. On a tree near the spider web, a green spider beast was lurking. It was waiting for its prey to enter before attacking. Giles shuddered at the sight. He had to be on guard in this mountain range. There was danger everywhere. However, Giles did not avoid it. He looked at the spider beast like it was his prey. This was because he wanted to hunt as many ferocious beasts as possible in thispetition. The spider beast in front of him was an Epic-rank beast, so Giles naturally wouldn¡¯t let it off. Thus, at Giles¡¯ signal, Sun Wukong teleported to the side of the spider beast whilst carrying the long white staff in its hand. Then, it raised its staff and swung the staff with all its might. The staffnded on the spider beast with horrifying strength. One had to know that Sun Wukong was no weaker than the King Kong Beast. One could imagine the oue. Pfft! A muffled sound rang out. The spider beast died on the spot before it could even react. Giles took out a knife from his spatial wristband and skillfully took out anything valuable on the spider beast. After dealing with it, Giles continued forward. At the same time, when the people in the city saw Giles¡¯ performance on the big screen, they eximed one after another beforementing on the website. ¡°Oh my God, is this contestant called Giles that powerful? An Epic-rank beast was killed just like that?¡± ¡°It was neat and tidy without any unnecessary movements. His spirit beast is too terrifying. I wonder who can fight against it.¡± ¡°I feel like no one can. Also, have you noticed? That spirit beast of his is only at the Gold rank. If it can kill an Epic-rank beast alone when it¡¯s at the Gold rank, how terrifying would the Epic-rank King Kong Beast beside him be?!¡± ¡°While the other contestants were still fighting hard, Giles had already taken down his first ferocious beast. He¡¯s the only one on the leaderboard now. He¡¯s too powerful.¡± The points of all the contestants were calcted in real time by the Beast Tamer Association. Giles had just killed the spider beast when his name appeared on the leaderboard. At that moment, only his name was on the leaderboard. This undoubtedly disyed his strength and shocked the audience. Needless to say, Giles was unaware of all this. At that moment, he was advancing towards the depths of the mountain range. Along the way, he had also encountered many ferocious beasts, but they were all killed by the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong. His points on the rankings also continued to rise, and he remained in first ce. Just then, as Giles finished off a Gold-rank beast, a voice rang out, ¡°This gentleman is indeed powerful.¡± Giles looked over and saw a man with curly golden hair pping and smiling as he spoke. Beside him was an Epic-rank beast, a Two-headed Demon Serpent. At that moment, it was staring at Giles with its two cold eyes, as if it would attack Giles at any moment if its Master gave the order. ¡°Let me introduce myself. I¡¯m Bob from Dessa State,¡± the curly-haired man said. ¡°My name is Giles.¡± Bob was surprised to hear this. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be Giles, the only one who defeated Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to say any of that. I believe you have something else to say,¡± Giles said. ¡°Haha, there is indeed something else. I¡¯m wondering if you would like to obtain arge number of points?¡± Bob asked. ¡°Of course I do,¡± Giles said. Then, as he stared at Bob to take a closer look, he appeared pensive. ¡°Did you find a group of ferocious beasts?¡± He had this spection because right now, Bob was in a sorry state. His clothes were a little messy, and even his spirit beast had some minor injuries on it. Hearing this, Bob looked at Giles in surprise. Then, he smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°You actually guessed it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I discovered a pack of Shadow Wolves. Other than the lead wolf being an Epic-rank ferocious beast, the rest are Gold-rank ferocious beasts. If we can capture them, it will be a considerable number of points.¡± With that, he looked at Giles hopefully. He had just discovered this pack of Shadow Wolves. However, the Epic-rank ferocious beast, the Wolf King, was too cunning. It did not give him a chance to deal with it head-on and kept attacking him with Gold-rank ferocious beasts. If not for his abilities, he might not have been able to escape. The saying that ¡°a mass of ants can bite an elephant to death¡± was possible in this ce. Although he had escaped, Bob did not want to give up on the pack of Shadow Wolves. After all, in the eyes of these contestants, these were mobile points. Giles pondered for a moment before agreeing with him and deciding to work with him to hunt that group of ferocious beasts. Although he could easily fight against Epic-rank beasts with his strength, Epic-rank beasts were not easy toe across. Gold-rank beasts were also worth him hunting. Bob looked happy to see Giles agree. He immediately led Giles towards the pack of Shadow Wolves. Chapter 50 - Hunting the Pack of Shadow Wolves and Encountering the Beast Blood Sect Again

Chapter 50: Hunting the Pack of Shadow Wolves and Encountering the Beast Blood Sect Again

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the Decker Mountain Range. Giles followed Bob in the direction of the pack of Shadow Wolves. However, the group of ferocious beasts was also moving. The two of them followed the traces they left behind. ¡°The pack of Shadow Wolves should be right ahead.¡± Bob and Giles were hiding in the dense forest. Giles nodded. The two of them cautiously traversed the dense forest and slowly advanced. . The next moment, the roar of a ferocious beast suddenly rang out. Giles and Bob exchanged nces with each other and quickly moved ahead. Then, they saw the pack of Shadow Wolves. At that moment, this pack of Shadow Wolves was acting on themand of the Shadow Wolf King and hunting down two Earth Barbaric Bears. The two Earth Barbaric Bears were Epic-rank ferocious beasts. Even so, they still got surrounded by the numerous Gold-rank Shadow Wolves. Under the attacks of the Shadow Wolves, wounds kept appearing on their bodies. ¡°Giles, shall we attack?¡± Bob asked when he saw this. ¡°How do we split the points?¡± Giles was in no hurry to hunt them down. He would negotiate with Bob about how to distribute the points first, or else there would be unnecessary disputes. He wasn¡¯t afraid, but it would be troublesome. ¡°It belongs to whoever killed it. It depends on strength.¡± Bob would not think of distributing the points equally as well. After all, Giles was not weak. Thus, he proposed such a distribution n. Giles nodded at that. This n was very suitable for him. ¡°King Kong Beast, Sun Wukong, get rid of them.¡± On the other hand, Bob alsomanded the Two-headed Demon Serpent and was about to attack. Just then, another voice came from the side. ¡°Shadow Wolves?¡± ¡°These are really points thate knocking on my door.¡± A few people walked out from the dense forest beside them and appeared in Giles¡¯ line of sight. From the looks of it, they were contestants as well. ¡°Friend, there¡¯s a ¡®firste, first served¡¯ for everything,¡± Bob couldn¡¯t help but say. The leader was a short-haired youth. Giles realized that this was the same person who had mocked him in the gym the day before. When the short-haired youth saw Giles and Bob, his expression changed. ¡°Are you sure you want topete with us?¡± Giles smiled, revealing white teeth and a radiant expression. Seeing this, the short-haired youth¡¯s expression changed. He recalled how he had failed in his challenge against the gym yesterday, but Giles had seeded. What shocked him even more was that the Gym Leader of that gym was actually a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. Even though she had only used Epic-rank strength, Giles¡¯ sessful challenge undoubtedly proved his strength. ¡°Let¡¯s leave.¡± The short-haired teenager pondered for a moment. He nced at Giles with a livid expression before turning to leave. The people following him did not know what was happening. They hesitated for a moment before leaving. After they had gone some distance, someone asked indignantly, ¡°Jim, why did we leave? There are only two of them. Why should we be afraid of them when there are so many of us?¡± Jim was the short-haired youth. Upon hearing this, Jim halted in his tracks. ¡°One of them challenged Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader yesterday and won.¡± ¡°Do you guys understand if I say this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a pack of Shadow Wolves, so what if I let them have it?¡± Hearing this, the people behind him felt a little scared. This was because the news that the Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader was a Legend-rank Beast Tamer had already spread throughout Eugene City. They had also heard about it. Even so, there was still a Beast Tamer who had seeded in their challenge yesterday. When they heard this news, they were all shocked. Now that they knew that they had nearly fought with that person, they felt a sense of relief that it didn¡¯t happen. ¡°Fortunately, we didn¡¯t attack. Otherwise, we would have lost face in front of so many people.¡± One had to know that everything they did would be projected in Eugene City via the mini cameras. There would definitely be many people watching. Losing was a small matter, but losing face was the worst. After all, many people cared about their own reputation. Listening to everyone¡¯s chaotic discussion, Jim turned his head to look in Giles¡¯ direction, his eyes filled with darkness. Then, all of them left this ce and headed in another direction. No matter what, hunting ferocious beasts and umting points in this allocated region was their top priority. On the other hand, Giles didn¡¯t know that he had already incurred someone¡¯s hatred. Even if he knew, he wouldn¡¯t care. Right now, he wasn¡¯t even afraid of Legend-rank Beast Tamers, let alone an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. At that moment, Giles and Bob had already attacked the Shadow Wolves. The King Kong Beast hammered its chest with both hands and roared towards the sky. Its body erged to about five or six meters. It had not reached its limit. After all, this was enough to battle Gold-rank beasts. Soon, it charged into the pack of Shadow Wolves and started a massacre. Sun Wukong was the same. With its long staff in hand, it struck the Shadow Wolves and with every blow, a Shadow Wolf would definitely die. At the same time, Bobmanded the Two-headed Demon Serpent to charge into the pack of Shadow Wolves. Of the two heads of the Two-headed Demon Serpent, one spat out mes and the other spat out ice. They quickly killed off numerous Shadow Wolves. Under the joint forces of these three terrifying spirit beasts, the Shadow Wolves were quickly ughtered. Only the Shadow Wolf King and the two Earth Barbaric Bears were left. Seeing this, Bobughed heartily. ¡°Giles, leave this Shadow Wolf King to me.¡± Then, hemanded the Two-headed Demon Serpent to attack the Shadow Wolf King. When the Shadow Wolf King saw that its subordinates had beenpletely massacred, a wave of rage surged in its heart. When it saw the Two-Headed Demon Serpent¡¯s attack approaching, it didn¡¯t dodge and instead charged towards it. Bob did not panic and rxedlymanded the Two-headed Demon Serpent to attack the Shadow Wolf King. On the other hand, the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong also faced off with the two Earth Barbaric Bears. Although these two Earth Barbaric Bears had been attacked by the Shadow Wolves earlier and had many wounds on their bodies, their life force was extremely tenacious. At that moment, the wounds on their bodies had actually healed quite a bit. Facing the attacks of the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong, they roared and charged forward. However, this was all in vain. After all, the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong¡¯s strength were simply extraordinary. Soon, they were beaten until they kept retreating and their bodies continuously suffered attacks. ¡°Giles, I¡¯m done here. Do you need help?¡± After killing the Epic-rank Shadow Wolf King, Bob turned around and looked at the two Earth Barbaric Bears with a strange glow in his eyes. Needless to say, Giles knew what he was thinking. He wanted to kill these two Epic-rank beasts and increase his points. ¡°Thanks, but no thanks.¡± Soon after, the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong stopped ying around. They unleashed their strength and killed the two Epic-rank Earth Barbaric Bears. Seeing this, Bob¡¯s eyes gleamed and he smiled as he said, ¡°As expected of someone who can defeat Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader. Impressive.¡± Giles nced at him but said nothing. Then, he went to deal with the valuable materials on the beast corpses. Bob was clearly not weed. He smiled awkwardly and went to deal with the beast corpses as well. Just as the two of them were about to leave after settling everything, birds and beasts scattered in the distant forest. At the same time, there was a vibration. Clearly, something was approaching. Giles¡¯ expression was grave. Bob looked in that direction. ¡°Should we leave?¡± Giles shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± The next moment, a group of ferocious beasts with a blood-red glow around their bodies appeared in front of Giles. Giles¡¯ expression hardened. These ferocious beasts are the members of the Beast Blood Sect! Chapter 51 - Battle with the Beast Blood Sect

Chapter 51: Battle with the Beast Blood Sect

¡°That pack of Shadow Wolves should be in this direction.¡± ¡°Find them and establish a blood contract. They¡¯ll be another powerful force.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. That d*mn Beast Tamer Association actually chose this location for thepetition. They want to use the Beast Tamers participating in thepetition to deal with us.¡± ¡°Since they¡¯re here, they can forget about leaving. We¡¯ll keep them here. I believe the Beast Tamer Association will definitely feel the heartache.¡± ¡­ A group of ferocious beasts spoke in humannguage. If it was someone clueless, they would definitely faint from shock. This was because only Legend-rank ferocious beasts had the ability to speak the humannguage. However, Giles, who knew the Beast Blood Sect well, naturally understood that these beasts in front of him had all been transformed from human beings using the Blood Contract Technique. The beasts that were talking also noticed Giles and Bob. They immediately stopped talking and stared at the two of them with blood-red eyes. The beast leading the pack was a Shadow Ghoul with the strength of an Epic-rank beast. It was the ferocious beast that Giles had encountered in the previous Gym Tournament. This ferocious beast did not have a physical body. Aside from elemental attacks, ordinary attacks would not be able to cause much damage to it. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you contestants so soon.¡± ¡°The Shadow Wolves that we¡¯ve been looking for so long were actually killed by them.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. Their ferocious beasts can be used as well. Kill them!¡± The dozen or so Beast Blood Sect members stared at Giles and Bob with bloodthirsty eyes. Not only did this scene reach Giles¡¯ eyes, but it was also transmitted to Eugene City via the miniature camera. Many spectators were watching Giles¡¯ when they suddenly discovered the Beast Blood Sect. They were all shocked. ¡°Oh my God, Giles ran into members of the Beast Blood Sect so soon. Is he going to be okay?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s going to be difficult. The Beast Blood Sect is filled with Epic-rank ferocious beasts. After using their unique Blood Ignition Technique, no one can fight against them unless they are Legend-rank spirit beasts.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast is indeed terrifying, but against so many people from the Beast Blood Sect, it will probably be very difficult to deal with.¡± ¡°Where are the people from the Beast Tamer Association? Hurry up and go over to save them.¡± ¡­ Many of the spectators were extremely anxious, as if they were the ones facing the Beast Blood Sect. However, no matter how theymented, no one from the Beast Tamer Association appeared. Looking at Giles on the screen, they couldn¡¯t quite bear to watch any longer. After all, they all knew how cruel the Beast Blood Sect was. ¡­ On the other hand, in the sky above Giles. ¡°Are you sure that this little fellow can put up a fight against the Beast Blood Sect?¡± an elderly man with white hair and beard said to a woman not far away as he sat on a flying beast. This elder was the person who had led everyone here previously. ¡°Master, I think we had better lend them a hand. Otherwise, this little guy will be finished.¡± At that moment, the flying beast under him spoke in humannguage. Obviously, this elderly man was a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. ¡°If you¡¯re worried, why did you do this in the first ce? You could have just stuck to the originalpetition rules.¡± The woman not far from the elderly man opened her eyes and nced at him. If Giles were here, he would definitely recognize her as the Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader. ¡°Isn¡¯t this also because I had no other choice? The daughter of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce is still waiting for the Dragon Blood Grass to save her life. Who knew that the Beast Blood Sect would actually take it away?¡± ¡°By the way, do we really not need to attack?¡± the elder asked again. ¡°Continue watching and you¡¯ll know.¡± With that, the woman looked down. Hearing this, the elderly man didn¡¯t say anything more. He followed the woman and looked towards the ground. On the ground, the battle was about to break out. The King Kong Beast activated its Giantize innate skill and its body grew to thirty meters tall. Its body was filled with a dangerous aura, as if it was a Godfiend that had returned from ancient times. Holding a white staff made from the bones of Legend-rank ferocious beasts, Sun Wukong red at the members of the Beast Blood Sect in front of it. On the other hand, Bob didn¡¯t cower either. After all, before entering, that elder had said that killing members of the Beast Blood Sect would also get them points. ¡°Giles, still the same as before. The points will go to whoever kills them,¡± Bob said with a grin on his face. Seeming to understand what he was feeling right then, his Epic-rank beast, the Two-Headed Demonic Serpent, also nced coldly at the members of the Beast Blood Sect. It kept flicking its tongue and hissing. ¡°No problem. Let¡¯s see who kills more.¡± Giles smiled, revealing dazzling white teeth. ¡°Your two beasts are so sick. Only a fool willpare with you,¡± Bob answered while giving him the side-eye. On the other hand, when the members of the Beast Blood Sect heard the conversation between Giles and Bob, they realized that they were being treated as points. mes of anger rose in their hearts. ¡°Are you done talking?¡± ¡°If you¡¯re done, ept your death!¡± Immediately, the dozen or so Beast Blood Sect members began to attack. Their target was Giles and Bob. They did not want to fight their spirit beast. It was the easiest way to get rid of the two of them. Seeing this, Bob did not panic at all andmanded the Two-headed Demon Serpent to attack. ¡°Two-headed Demon Serpent, use ¡®Rapid Freeze¡¯!¡± Immediately, a blue beam of light containing a frightening chill shot out from the mouth of one of the Two-headed Demon Serpent¡¯s heads and shot straight towards the Beast Blood Sect members. A member of the Beast Blood Sect who could not dodge in time was struck by this beam of light and turned into a piece of ice that emitted a cold aura. On the other hand, Giles wouldn¡¯t just watch Bob perform. ¡°King Kong Beast, Sun Wukong, don¡¯t let this ce be Bob¡¯s solo stage. Act freely and kill the members of the Beast Blood Sect!¡± When it heard this, the King Kong Beast stretched out its huge palm and attacked the members of the Beast Blood Sect. Soon, it grabbed a ferocious beast and crushed it. Blood dripped from the gaps between its fingers. Coupled with its huge body, it looked even more like a Godfiend. On the other hand, Sun Wukong also kept teleporting. The long rod in its hand was like a death god. Every time it swung down, a ferocious beast would die. Seeing this scene, the remaining members of the Beast Blood Sect immediately stopped and looked at Giles and Bob with resentment. The next moment, an extremely dense blood-red mist appeared out of nowhere on every member of the Beast Blood Sect, and they seemed to be on the verge of turning into liquid. The air was also filled with the thick smell of blood. Giles¡¯ expression turned grave. He knew that this was the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Ignition Technique. Beside him, Bob¡¯s expression had also turned extremely grim. He could feel the aura of the Beast Blood Sect members getting stronger. At the same time, many of the spectators in Eugene City were shocked when they saw this scene. Originally, they had cheered loudly when they saw Giles and Bob killing everyone, but now that the Beast Blood Sect had used the Blood Ignition Technique, the oue was hard to determine. ¡°Cami, do we still not go and lend them a hand?¡± The elderly man asked the Gym Leader when he saw what was happening below. Cami was the Gym Leader¡¯s name. ¡°Little Gold couldn¡¯t defeat him even with its Epic-rank strength. Do you think he¡¯s afraid of these members of the Beast Blood Sect?¡± Hearing those words, the elder was stunned. ¡°So this little fellow defeated you. In that case, I don¡¯t have to worry. It¡¯s not a bad idea to watch a good show from here.¡± Chapter 52 - Beast Blood Sect? Its Just Points Delivered to the Doorstep

Chapter 52: Beast Blood Sect? It¡¯s Just Points Delivered to the Doorstep

In the forest. A thick bloody mist gathered on the bodies of the Beast Blood Sect members. They were burning their blood essence to increase their strength. ¡°You guys forced me to do this. I will definitely let you experience the greatest pain in this world and then die in despair,¡± the Shadow Ghoul leader said. If it weren¡¯t because they had no other choice, they wouldn¡¯t be willing to use the Blood Ignition Technique. Although it was burning the blood essence in their bodies, it was also harming their souls. Especially for this Shadow Ghoul. Although he didn¡¯t have a physical body, he was also using the Blood Ignition Technique currently. He was burning the baneful aura on his body, which was essentially his soul power. Therefore, he hated Giles, Bob, and the others to death. ¡°Giles, I don¡¯t think we can win. Do you want to flee?¡± Bob leaned over to Giles and cautiously looked at the Beast Blood Sect members across from him. Giles shook his head. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. They¡¯re the ones who need to escape, not us.¡± ¡°After all, they came to deliver points to our doorstep. Why shouldn¡¯t we take it?¡± The scene before him felt familiar. It was simr to what he had experienced in the Solomon Mountains. Therefore, Giles¡¯ solution was the same. With a sh of light, he summoned the Three-Headed Hellhound. Seeing this scene, the Shadow Ghoul mocked with a hoarse voice, ¡°Haha, your brain must be fried. You actually summoned a Gold-rank spirit beast. Do you think that such a spirit beast can put up a fight against us?¡± At the same time, the people watching Giles in Eugene City were also extremely puzzled. ¡°What is Giles doing? Why did he summon a Gold-rank beast?¡± ¡°Oh my God, is it really as that person from the Beast Blood Sect said? Is Giles¡¯ brain damaged?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to watch any longer. What can a Gold-rank spirit beast do? Giles is probably really done for this time.¡± ¡­ In the sky above Giles. When the elderly man saw this, he was also puzzled about what Giles was doing. However, he did not say much. Instead, he was already prepared to save them. Beside him, the Gym Leader Cami didn¡¯t say anything, but she didn¡¯t think that Giles would be doing something useless. On the ground, Giles smiled calmly at the Shadow Ghoul¡¯s words. ¡°Did you know that not too long ago, I met a group of people from the Beast Blood Sect in the Solomon Mountain Range? He said the same thing as you before he died.¡± Hearing this, the Shadow Ghoul shuddered. ck fog spread out. The next moment, he felt an indescribable pain all over his body. At the same time, all the members of the Beast Blood Sect nearby lost their ability to move and fell to the ground, convulsing. The Shadow Ghoul seemed to have thought of something. Then, it stared fixedly at Giles and said through clenched teeth, ¡°Dammit, what have you done?!¡± Giles smiled, revealing his dazzling white teeth. ¡°Nothing, I poisoned you guys.¡± At the same time, the ck mes on the Three-Headed Hellhound continued to flicker. It turned out that right after summoning the Three-Headed Hellhound, Giles had it use its skill, ¡®Soul Poison¡¯. The intense poison that only corroded souls was unstoppable unless they were Legend-rank ferocious beasts. Hearing Giles¡¯ words, the hearts of the Beast Blood Sect members trembled. However, before they could think further, they died quickly under the corrosion of the Soul Poison, leaving behind the corpses of ferocious beasts. The same went for the Shadow Ghoul leader. After its soul was corroded by the poison, the ck fog gradually dissipated into the air, leaving only the core of a ferocious beast on the ground. ¡°Giles, this¡­ this is all your doing?¡± Looking at the members of the Beast Blood Sect who had suddenly died, Bob asked in disbelief, even though he knew that this was all Giles¡¯ doing. ¡°Of course I did it.¡± With that, Giles put the Three-headed Hellhound away. He didn¡¯t go into details. After all, he wasn¡¯t close to Bob. Hearing that, Bob knew that Giles didn¡¯t want to talk about it in detail, so he didn¡¯t probe further. Hence, the two of them began to clean up the battlefield and gather the valuable items on the corpses of the ferocious beasts. On the other hand, the audience in Eugene City had thought that Giles and Bob would be done for. They did not expect Giles to suddenly erupt and eliminate the members of the Beast Blood Sect in an instant. This undoubtedly shocked many people. ¡°This is truly unbelievable. Giles actually wiped out all the members of the Beast Blood Sect. How did he do that?¡± ¡°Could it really be due to that Gold-rank beast? Was it the poison that it used?¡± ¡°I feel like Giles¡¯ strength is really a mystery. Could it be that only those at Legend rank can defeat him?¡± ¡­ On the other hand, the elderly man was also extremely shocked when he saw this scene. ¡°What race is that ferocious beast from? Why is it so strange? I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡± It was no wonder that he was curious. After all, the Three-Headed Hellhound did look strange, not to mention that there were no myths about the Three-Headed Hellhound in this world. The Gym Leader said as she nced at him, ¡°The world is so big. It¡¯s normal for there to be some strange ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°Inparison, I¡¯m very curious about the poison in this beast. It can actually kill Epic-rank beasts. That¡¯s terrifying.¡± The old man nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s not just this ferocious beast. The few ferocious beasts that the little fellow contracted are all very strange. Their strength far exceeds ordinary ferocious beasts.¡± ¡°By the way, what do you think about giving him the spot for that thing?¡± Upon hearing this, Cami looked at the elderly man in surprise. However, she then thought of Giles¡¯ extraordinary beasts and her beautiful eyes flickered. ¡°Okay. With his strength, he should be able to go there. He deserves the spot.¡± Upon hearing this, the elderly man looked at Giles below. His brows knitted together as he considered his decision. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s wait until after the Beast Tamer Friendly Match ends. At that time, if he really passes the assessment, we¡¯ll give him a spot.¡± ¡°Old Man, you¡¯re still as cautious as before,¡± the Gym Leader said. The elderly man answered angrily, ¡°Hey, be more respectful to me. I¡¯m your elder after all.¡± ¡°The thing at that ce is very important. We have to be careful.¡± ¡­ At the same time, in a secret cave in the Decker Mountain Range. It was extremely spacious inside, but there were many ferocious beasts living inside. In the depths of the cave, there was a huge blood pool that emanated a thick stench of blood. In the middle of it was a human-shaped shadow that seemed to be sleeping. Ferocious beasts constantly brought back the corpses of other ferocious beasts and threw them into the blood pool. The beasts that were thrown in rapidly turned into liquid and melted into the blood pool. A few people in blood-red robes were standing in front of the blood pool. ¡°The people from the Beast Tamer Association have already discovered this ce. Should we retreat?¡± ¡°Retreat? Why should we? As long as the Lord¡¯s n seeds this time, it will be futile even if all the Beast Tamers in Eugene City came.¡± ¡°As for the Beast Tamers in the mountain range, send someone to kill them and bring their ferocious beasts back. Those are all fresh foods.¡± Chapter 53 - Obtaining the Dragon Blood Grass and Jims Sudden Arrival

Chapter 53: Obtaining the Dragon Blood Grass and Jim¡¯s Sudden Arrival

In the mountain range, Giles and Bob had already disposed of the corpses of the Beast Blood Sect. It was almost night time. ¡°Giles, we need to find a ce to spend the night,¡± Bob said. Giles nodded. They had to survive in this ce for three days. Today was only the first day. They casually picked a direction and hurried forward. After they had left for a while, a group of people from the Beast Blood Sect arrived. The leader was a Shadow Wolf. Its scarlet eyes scanned the surroundings. ¡°Someone killed Shadow Ghoul and the others. Catch up to them and kill them.¡± Then, he spun around on the spot and led the members of the Beast Blood Sect in a particr direction. Surprisingly, that direction was where Giles and the others had headed. Giles didn¡¯t know about this. At that moment, he and Bob had found a cave. The two of them let out their respective beasts to stand guard during the night. Then, they went to rest. The night passed uneventfully. Giles and Bob woke up from their sleep. After washing up and eating something, the two of them continued deeper into the mountain range. The contestants did not know their current rankings, so they could only kill as many ferocious beasts as possible during these three days. At the same time, the other contestants in the mountain range had all been attacked by the members of the Beast Blood Sect. York was attacked by many ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. The Silver-horned Rhinoceros had to use all its strength before he could escape with much difficulty. However, it had also killed many members of the Beast Blood Sect. Sophia¡¯s Purple-winged Wind Butterfly used hypnosis pollen to hypnotize many members of the Beast Blood Sect, but they quickly regained consciousness. However, Sophia had also seized the opportunity to escape. Jim and the others were also hunted down by the Beast Blood Sect. After Jim¡¯s spirit beast died, he directly surrendered to the Beast Blood Sect and begged them to spare his life. Other than that, there were many others who were chased down and killed by the Beast Blood Sect. Even the elderly man and Gym Leader Cami did not have the time to save them because an unfamiliar Legend-rank Beast Tamer had stopped them. Ryder had also been hunted, but he had run into Giles while on the run and was saved by him. After getting rid of the members of the Beast Blood Sect, Ryder thanked Giles breathlessly. ¡°Giles, I didn¡¯t expect you to be the one who saved my life again.¡± ¡°The people from the Beast Blood Sect are crazy. We saw them ughtering the people who participated in thepetition today. I saw several of them getting killed.¡± ¡°I just found a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass and didn¡¯t have the chance to pluck it before they discovered me.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles instantly looked at Ryder. ¡°Dragon Blood Grass?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not far from here.¡± The Dragon Blood Grass was the herb that could save Alina¡¯s life. Now that he had obtained this information, Giles naturally wouldn¡¯t let it slip by. ¡°Ryder, lead the way. We¡¯re going over.¡± Seeing how serious Giles looked, Ryder didn¡¯t waste any time and led Giles over. As for the Beast Blood Sect, Ryder naturally didn¡¯t worry about them since he had seen Giles¡¯ true strength. Along the way, Giles introduced Ryder and Bob to each other. At the same time, they encountered many members of the Beast Blood Sect, but they were all killed by the three of them. Soon, Giles and the others arrived at the location of the Dragon Blood Grass. It was a small blood-redke. At the center of theke was a bit of soil. On it grew a spirit herb that waspletely blood-red. It was the Dragon Blood Grass. Giles directlymanded Sun Wukong to teleport over and pluck the Dragon Blood Grass. As he held the Dragon Blood Grass in his hand, Giles felt like it was surreal, but he had finally gotten it. Giles let out a long breath and stored the Dragon Blood Grass in his spatial wristband. Then, he turned around and said to Ryder and Bob, ¡°This thing is useful to me. After we get out, I¡¯ll use other resources topensate you.¡± Ryder didn¡¯t care at all when he heard this and said nonchntly, ¡°You¡¯re wee. You¡¯ve already saved me twice. This is just a stalk of Dragon Blood Grass. What¡¯s there topensate?¡± Bob had a simr attitude. ¡°The same goes for me. This entire way, if it weren¡¯t for you, I might have been killed by the people from the Beast Blood Sect. Don¡¯t talk aboutpensation.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles nced at them andmitted the favor they did him to memory. Just as he was about to leave with the two of them, someone came over. ¡°I saw the Dragon Blood Grass here just now. However, there were people from the Beast Blood Sect here, so I didn¡¯t have the time to pluck it.¡± A young man led a few people here. However, he was stunned when he saw that the Dragon Blood Grass was gone. Then, when he saw Giles and the others, he immediately realised what had happened. ¡°Did you guys take the Dragon Blood Grass? Quickly hand it over!¡± Upon hearing this, Giles felt amused. Ryder and Bob also felt that there was something wrong with this person¡¯s brain. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re really thick-skinned. Why should we give you the Dragon Blood Grass we obtained?¡± Ryder said rudely. Hearing those words, the young man opposite him became unhappy. ¡°I was the one who discovered this Dragon Blood Grass first. I merely didn¡¯t pluck it at that time. Hurry up and return it to me.¡± Upon hearing this, Giles and the others found it even more ridiculous. Ryder mocked, ¡°Just because you said that you were the first to discover it, so it must be true? In that case, I can say that I was the one who nted the Dragon Blood Grass.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a fabrication? Everyone has a mouth, who doesn¡¯t know how to talk?¡± Upon hearing this, the youth was so angry that he didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°You¡­¡± Just then, a blond-haired man behind him walked up to the front. ¡°Cut the crap. Hand over the Dragon Blood Grass, or else we¡¯ll fight.¡± The blond man¡¯s name was Jerome. He wanted to snatch the Dragon Blood Grass because he knew the truth behind this stalk of Dragon Blood Grass. If he hands it over to the elder outside, who is in charge of the assessment, he believed that the points he could get would definitely not be low. Just this alone was enough for him to snatch it. After all, which Beast Tamer, who is participating in thispetition, doesn¡¯t wish to have more points? Giles couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk to them anymore. Since they wanted to fight, he would fight with them. ¡°King Kong Beast, use your Giantize innate skill.¡± The King Kong Beast that was initially only one meter tall instantly erged. Its thirty-meter-tall body enveloped the surroundings, and its endless shadow blocked out the sunlight. Seeing this, Jerome suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale. ¡°A thirty-meter King Kong Beast? Are you the person who defeated Gene Gym¡¯s Gym Leader?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Giles replied calmly. Jerome smiled wryly and said, ¡°Sorry, I was rude previously.¡± You must be kidding. That King Kong Beast defeated a Legend-rank beast before. Although that Legend-rank beast only used the power of an Epic-rank beast, this proves the King Kong Beast¡¯s strength. Rather than fighting the King Kong Beast, Jerome would rather hunt other Epic-rank beasts. Giles was happy to see Jerome admit defeat. ¡°You don¡¯t want the Dragon Blood Grass anymore?¡± Ryder asked slyly. ¡°I don¡¯t want it anymore,¡± Jerome said with a wry smile while shaking his head. Then, he cupped his hands in salute at Giles. Just as he was about to leave, a group of people appeared here. Giles looked over and saw a few familiar faces. There was York, Sophia, and Jim, whom he had seen in Gene Gym. At that moment, Jim was leading the group. He started momentarily when he saw Giles. Then, a look of resentment appeared in the depths of his eyes, but it was hidden very well and no one noticed it. Jim looked around and smiled. He said, ¡°Everyone, do you want to earn more points?¡± ¡­ Chapter 54 - Jim who Joined the Beast Blood Sect

Chapter 54: Jim who Joined the Beast Blood Sect

By the blood-coloredke, Giles raised his guard as he looked at Jim. Apart from hunting ferocious beasts, they could also kill members of the Beast Blood Sect to earn points. Now, Jim had brought so many people along and said that they could earn a lot of points. With so many people, they could fight against some Epic-rank ferocious beasts, but they would not get much points individually. Furthermore, many members of the Beast Blood Sect had appeared in the mountain range and were massacring the contestants. Many people could only run for their lives, let alone hunt ferocious beasts. Giles had a theory. Sure enough, it was as he had imagined. ¡°Everyone, I found the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect members. Why don¡¯t we take advantage of the fact that they are attacking wantonly to attack their strongholds?¡± Jim said with a smile. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s impossible for one person to do this alone, that¡¯s why I¡¯m preparing to gather some people to attack together. I wonder if all of you would like to participate?¡± With that, he looked sincerely at Jerome, Giles, and the others. At the same time, he recalled the scene of him being chased by the Beast Blood Sect not long ago. ¡°Haha, run, kid! If you can¡¯t escape, just wait to die!¡± More than ten people from the Beast Blood Sect stood in front of Jim and mocked him. Seeing this scene, Jim had a look of despair on his face.?His only Epic-rank beast had been captured by the Beast Blood Sect. There was only death waiting in front of him. But he didn¡¯t want to die. He wanted to live. Hence, he made a choice. ¡°Sirs, let me go. I¡¯m willing to join the Beast Blood Sect. I¡¯ll do anything you want me to!¡± Jim knelt on the ground and begged the people from the Beast Blood Sect. When they saw this scene, the people from the Beast Blood Sect were stunned at first. Then, theyughed. ¡°You really want to join our Beast Blood Sect?¡± When Jim heard that there was a chance of survival, he immediately kowtowed to them a few times and fawned over them. ¡°Milords, I really want to join the Beast Blood Sect. I beg you to agree.¡± The people from the Beast Blood Sectughed even more gleefully. ¡°Haha, alright. I¡¯ll give you a chance. This is the Blood Contract Method of our Beast Blood Sect. Use it to contract your ferocious beast again.¡± The leader of the Beast Blood Sect members threw Jim a blood-red drawing. It looked extremely evil with some words on it. Taking the drawing from them, Jim hesitated for a moment. Then, he walked over to his Golden-eyed Savage Lion and used the Blood Contract Technique to contract it again. A blood-red mist that looked sinister and abnormal appeared on both Jim¡¯s and the Golden-Eyed Savage Lion¡¯s bodies. The next moment, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion let out a ferocious roar and lost all signs of life. Jim also copsed on the ground without any signs of life. Then, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion opened its eyes. Its blood-red eyes contained a hint of intelligence. The Golden-Eyed Savage Lion¡¯s soul had already been wiped out. At that moment, the person upying its body was Jim. Feeling this different body, Jim¡¯s eyes were filled with fascination. ¡°Is this the feeling of having power? How charming,¡± Jim said. It had to be known that only those who had reached the Legend rank could fuse with a beast spirit and possess the power of a ferocious beast. Now, he possessed this power himself. Although it was because of the Beast Blood Sect, he did not regret it. The members of the Beast Blood Sect also revealed evil smiles. Why aren¡¯t they worried that Jim will betray them again? It¡¯s because no one can resist the temptation of power. On the other hand, after using the Blood Contract Technique, although they could upy the body of a ferocious beast, they would also be affected by the body of the ferocious beast and gradually lose their humanity, eventually turning into a ferocious beast that only knew how to kill. If they wanted to solve this problem, only a special medicine from the Beast Blood Sect could suppress it. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± the leader of the Beast Blood Sect members asked. ¡°Sir, my name is Jim.¡± At that moment, Jim also knew the aftereffects of the Blood Contract Technique, but he could no longer turn back. At that moment, he could only adapt to the new circumstances and lower his head. ¡°Okay, Jim. I have a mission for you.¡± ¡°Gather all the Beast Tamers, who are participating in thepetition, and think of a way to bring them to our Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold.¡± With that, the leader of the Beast Blood Sect took out a map and handed it to Jim. On it was a clear map of the environment in the mountain range and the location of the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold. ¡°Sir, won¡¯t this be dangerous for our stronghold?¡± ¡°Dangerous? At the stronghold, we won¡¯t need to be afraid even if it¡¯s a Legend-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Remember, I don¡¯t care what method you use, but bring them to the stronghold. If you do it well, you will be heavily rewarded. If you don¡¯t, you know the consequences!¡± The leader of the Beast Blood Sect members snorted and looked at Jim ruthlessly. Upon hearing this, Jim shuddered. ¡°Milord, rest assured. I will definitely do a good job.¡± Then, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion that Jim was upying suddenly copsed to the ground. On the other hand, Jim¡¯s body woke up. Using the Blood Contract Technique did not mean that one could not return to being a human after upying the body of a ferocious beast. However, most of the members of the Beast Blood Sect would not turn back into humans after feeling the power. Jim was the same, but he needed this human body now. With a sh of light, the Golden-eyed Savage Lion¡¯s body was kept in Jim¡¯s Beast-taming Space before he left this ce. After Jim left, someone from the Beast Blood Sect asked, ¡°Can he be relied on to do it?¡± ¡°This kid is just someone who¡¯s afraid of death. He¡¯s perfectly suitable for this.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s sit at home and wait for those Beast Tamers toe knocking. It¡¯s better than us running around in the forest searching for them.¡± ¡°Inform the others to return to the stronghold and wait for our prey toe knocking,¡± the leader said with a sinister smile. Nobody was aware of all of this. This was because the moment he had the thought of surrendering, Jim had already turned off the mini camera on him. This could be turned off. After all, the contestants had to do some private things at times, which couldn¡¯t be broadcasted. Hence the current scene. Jim had found many Beast Tamers in the forest and based on his description, the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold could be easily breached. Quite a number of people were tempted and joined the team. Until Jim led this group of people to meet Giles and the others. ¡°How is it? Do you want to participate?¡± Jim asked again. Jerome joined the team straight away. He was very enthusiastic about obtaining points. After all, he did get into a conflict with Giles and the others previously over the Dragon Blood Grass as he could obtain additional points with it. Therefore, when he heard Jim¡¯s n, he agreed without thinking. On the other hand, Giles pondered for a moment before rejecting Jim. He had a feeling that something was amiss. He didn¡¯t have much thoughts about the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold. Although Jim made it sound like a piece of cake, who knew what was weird inside? He only had one life, so he couldn¡¯t mess around. Seeing Giles refuse, Bob and Ryder followed suit, even though they were puzzled. Although they hadn¡¯t known Giles for long, they all believed him. Upon hearing Giles and the others¡¯ refusal, a sinister look appeared in the depths of Jim¡¯s eyes, but he did not reveal it. The person he wanted to get rid of the most was Giles, but at that moment, he did not dare to push for it. Putting aside whether or not he could defeat Giles, if he did notplete the mission, he would definitely be met with a tragic end. He could only bring these people back to the stronghold first before dealing with Giles. With that thought in mind, Jim smiled at Giles and said, ¡°Since you guys aren¡¯t participating, we¡¯ll head over first.¡± With that, he led the people behind him towards the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold. Chapter 55 - Kill Jim and Attack the Beast Blood Sects Stronghold

Chapter 55: Kill Jim and Attack the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Stronghold

They watched as Jim and the others disappeared from sight. Ryder then asked Giles, ¡°Giles, why aren¡¯t we following them to attack the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold?¡± Giles shook his head. ¡°Think about that short-haired youth¡¯s character. Is he really such a friendly person?¡± ¡°I have a feeling that all his actions were just an act.¡± Ryder panicked. ¡°From what you¡¯re saying, the kid must be up to something. In that case, Sophia must be in danger.¡± ¡°This won¡¯t do, I have to go over and take a look.¡± With that, Ryder started walking in the direction that Jim had gone in. Sophia is the girl he liked. Now that he heard that there was danger, he naturally wouldn¡¯t just watch as Sophia fell into danger. Giles stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t be impulsive, I¡¯m just making a guess.¡± ¡°Furthermore, I¡¯m also going to follow them and see if they really found the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect.¡± Giles turned around and asked, ¡°Bob, do you want toe along?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together. I¡¯ll go too,¡± Bob said. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s follow them. Be careful not to be discovered by them.¡± Immediately, Giles led the two of them towards Jim and the others. On the other hand, Jim led the way. Along the way, they encountered some ferocious beasts from time to time. It was Jim who attacked and killed these beasts. However, Giles saw all of this. He, Ryder, and Bob trailed behind Jim and witnessed every move he made. Then, Giles keenly noticed that something was amiss. Every time Jim¡¯s Golden-eyed Savage Lion attacked, its body would sh with a blood-red glow. Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ expression turned grave. This was because he realized that the blood-red glow was the same as the one on the members of the Beast Blood Sect. Suddenly, a spection popped into Giles¡¯ mind. Could Jim be from the Beast Blood Sect? As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he could no longer suppress it. At that moment, Giles had already confirmed the fact that Jim was from the Beast Blood Sect. Jim was unaware of Giles and the others¡¯ following them. At that moment, he was controlling the Golden-eyed Savage Lion to kill the ferocious beasts they encountered. After using the Blood Contract, not only could upy the body of the ferocious beasts to fight, but he could also control it like a puppet. In order to hide his identity, Jim did thetter. However, Giles saw all of this. Just as he was about to reach the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold, Giles and the others walked out from the forest and appeared in front of Jim and the others. ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Jim was surprised to see Giles and the others blocking their way forward. Then, he quickly reacted and smiled. ¡°Have you thought it through and decided to participate in our operation?¡± Jim was ecstatic.?He had thought that Giles and the others would not be participating in this operation, but things had taken a turn for the better. Giles was actually participating now. This was too wonderful. However, things did not go ording to his expectations. ¡°You¡¯ve pretended for long enough. Drop the act,¡± Giles said calmly. When Jim heard this, his expression froze and cold sweat broke out on his back. Could he have been discovered? Impossible! Jim forced himself to smile stiffly and said, ¡°What are you talking about? Why don¡¯t I understand you?¡± ¡°Hehe, looks like you really haven¡¯t given up.¡± Giles sneered and said calmly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You dare to join the Beast Blood Sect but don¡¯t dare to tell people about it?¡± Upon hearing this, Jim¡¯s heart was filled with shock and horror, but he still didn¡¯t admit it. ¡°I¡¯m innocent. Why would I join the Beast Blood Sect?¡± ¡°If you all dare to insult me again, don¡¯t me me for attacking you.¡± Giles and Jim¡¯s conversation reached the ears of the group behind Jim. They took a few steps back involuntarily. Jim turned pale at the sight. On the other hand, the spectators from Eugene City also saw this scene and started discussing. ¡°Jim is from the Beast Blood Sect? What a joke. Jim is our city¡¯s genius Beast Tamer. He will definitely advance to be a Legend-rank Beast Tamer in the future. Why would he join the Beast Blood Sect?¡± ¡°Hehe, a genius Beast Tamer? Don¡¯t forget that he was chased by the Beast Blood Sect not long ago? Back then, his camera was switched off for a long time. I thought that he was dead, but now it seems like he probably joined the Beast Blood Sect back then.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I think so too. This Jim guy is definitely up to something. I hope Giles can expose him.¡± ¡­ Unbeknownst to Jim, he was still quibbling. However, Giles didn¡¯t care. He ordered the King Kong Beast to attack Jim¡¯s beast. Seeing this, Jim was not the only one who was stunned. Many people present were also stunned. However, the next moment, everyone understood why Giles did this. A blood-red mist instantly appeared on the Golden-eyed Savage Lion¡¯s body and emitted a thick stench of blood. Meanwhile, Jim¡¯s body had already copsed to the ground and was lifeless. ¡°This power is still so charming,¡± Jim said with a zed look in his eyes after upying the Golden-eyed Savage Lion¡¯s body to dodge the King Kong Beast¡¯s attack. However, he quickly snapped out of it. His eyes were filled with resentment and wariness as he looked at everyone, especially Giles. The next moment, he directly used the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Ignition Technique. His aura rapidly increased, as if he was just short of breaking through to the Legend rank. He knew that Giles¡¯ King Kong Beast had terrifying strength. Only by using the Blood Ignition Technique could he contend against it. Seeing this scene, everybody¡¯s expressions changed. They did not expect Jim to really be from the Beast Blood Sect. In that case, the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect was definitely an extremely dangerous ce. It was obvious what the oue would have been if they had followed him to the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold! They shuddered and looked at Giles and the others gratefully. ¡°All of you shall die today!¡± Jim¡¯s scarlet eyes swept across everyone as he said coldly. However, the next moment, he felt like he had lost control of his body. A sharp pain shot through his brain. ¡°What¡¯s going on? No!¡± Jim¡¯s eyes were filled with fear as he wondered what had happened. Soon, Jim waspletely killed by the Soul Poison. This was the work of the Three-Headed Hellhound. Giles had already summoned it and activated the ¡®Soul Poison¡¯ skill. Looking at Jim¡¯s lifeless body, Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel rueful. This Soul Poison is really effective against the people from the Beast Blood Sect. On the other hand, the people who had been following Jim previously were also extremely shocked when they saw this scene. It was unbelievable that Giles could kill Jim so easily. They had thought that there would be another intense battle, but it ended so easily. On the other hand, Giles had also collected the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Contract Technique and the map from Jim¡¯s corpse. With regard to the Blood Contract Technique, Giles simply threw it into his spatial wristband without looking at it. Then, he picked up the map and looked at it. After a while, Giles looked up at everyone and grinned. ¡°Do all of you want to attack the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold and earn some points?¡± ¡­ Chapter 56 - Battle of Legend-rank Experts

Chapter 56: Battle of Legend-rank Experts

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Giles¡¯ voice caught everyone¡¯s attention. They looked at Giles oddly. This scene felt familiar.?Isn¡¯t this what Jim had told them previously? Could it be that Giles is also from the Beast Blood Sect and is deliberately leading them to their deaths? All their heads were in a muddle. Even Ryder and Bob looked at Giles in surprise. ¡°Giles, did you make a mistake in what you were saying? Why would we go to the Beast Blood Sect to court our deaths?¡± Giles smiled and exined, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I haven¡¯t lived long enough.¡± ¡°The reason why I said that is because we aren¡¯t the only ones attacking the Beast Blood Sect this time..¡± Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. ¡°Who? Who else is there?¡± ¡°Most of the contestants are here. Who else can it be?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, even if there are others, it¡¯s useless even if theye.¡± ¡­ However, the next moment, they found out the reason. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the two of us will also attack the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold.¡± A voice seemed to ring out in everyone¡¯s hearts, stunning them. Then, the elderly man and Gym Leader Cami descended from the sky. ¡°It¡¯s Elder Gandalf and Gym Leader Cami.¡± Gandalf was the elder¡¯s name and he was an elder in the Beast Tamer Association. Not long ago, the Beast Blood Sect had massacred the Beast Tamers who participated in the tournament. Gandalf and Cami wanted to stop them, but they had not expected the Beast Blood Sect to send a Legend-rank Beast Tamer to get in their way. It was until not long ago that the two of them had worked together to kill that Legend-rank Beast Tamer before rushing here. After seeing Giles kill Jim, the two of them decided to directly attack the Beast Blood Sect. ¡°We will participate in this operation too. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Seeing the appearance of two Legend-rank Beast Tamers, everyone felt more confident. Under Giles¡¯ leadership, they all rushed to the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s stronghold. The two Legend-rank Beast Tamers hid their figures and waited for the opportunity to attack. Soon, Giles and the others arrived outside a huge cave. This was the stronghold of the Beast Blood Sect. Before the Beast Blood Sect guards near the cave could utter a sound, Giles had used the Three-Headed Hellhound¡¯s Soul Poison to kill them. Seeing this, Gandalf and Cami, who were hiding in the dark, could not help but exim, ¡°Even though I¡¯ve seen this ferocious beast attack previously, I still find it terrifying.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I feel like even I wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the poison of that beast as well.¡± Before they could think further, Giles and the others had already run into the members of the Beast Blood Sect. ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve killed that trash, Jim, but I didn¡¯t expect you to still dare toe here. You really don¡¯t know the meaning of death. I¡¯ll kill you today and aplish the great undertaking of our Beast Blood Sect!¡± the leader of the Beast Blood Sect said sinisterly. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Giles smiled. At the side, the Three-Headed Hellhound¡¯s Soul Poison had already spread to everyone. ¡°Dammit, what have you done?!¡± ¡°Help! I don¡¯t want to die!¡± ¡°Poison! He poisoned us!¡± ¡­ However, no matter how hard the people from the Beast Blood Sect struggled, they were corroded by the Soul Poison and could not escape the fate of death. Soon, they were all annihted. Seeing this, those who had not seen Giles attack before gasped. ¡°Oh my god, is this Giles¡¯ strength? It¡¯s utterly frightening!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We could barely deal with one member of the Beast Blood Sect. I didn¡¯t expect him to deal with so many people directly.¡± ¡°Is there still a need topete in the uing Beast Tamer Friendly Match? With his strength, won¡¯t it be easy for him to win the championship?¡± ¡­ Everyone started discussing, but Giles didn¡¯t care. At that moment, his expression was grave. Looking at his surroundings, his powerful spiritual power could clearly sense that there were other members of the Beast Blood Sect around. As expected, the next moment, three Beast Blood Sect members, who were wearing blood-red robes, appeared before all of them. The person in the middle pped and said, ¡°You killed many people from our Beast Blood Sect so quickly. Not bad.¡± ¡°I think your ferocious beasts are not simple. It¡¯s not a bad idea to keep them to help Milord evolve.¡± That person¡¯s long and narrow eyes swept across everyone as he said in a hoarse voice. He didn¡¯t care about the dead members of the Beast Blood Sect at all. This was because these cannon fodders would quickly be reced. On the other hand, Giles became extremely on guard when he saw the three of them. He could sense that these three people were clearly Legend-rank Beast Tamers! No matter how extraordinary his spirit beasts were, they would not be able to fight against such existences. At that moment, he could only get the two Legend-rank Beast Tamers from the Beast Tamer Association to attack. Just as this thought popped into his mind, Gandalf and Cami appeared. Seeing this scene, the eyes of the three from the Beast Blood Sect narrowed. ¡°Gandalf, Cami, I didn¡¯t expect it to be you two.¡± ¡°I was thinking of finding trouble with you after Milord¡¯s n seeded. I didn¡¯t expect you toe knocking on my door now.¡± With that said, the three people from the Beast Blood Sect emitted a blood-red glow and three ferocious beasts that looked like dragons appeared on the spot. ¡°Netherworld Flood Dragon? I didn¡¯t expect you to have found its corpse!¡± Gandalf said in disbelief. Cami observed for a moment before shaking her head. ¡°They¡¯re not Netherworld Flood Dragons. It¡¯s just a dragon-type ferocious beast that possesses a trace of its bloodline.¡± ¡°But even so, it¡¯s still terrifying.¡± When the three Flood Dragons heard this, they shot a baleful nce at Gandalf and Cami. ¡°You¡¯re right, but it¡¯s still enough to deal with the two of you.¡± Cami and Gandalf had grave expressions on their faces. The other party was right. Hundreds of years ago, a Netherworld Flood Dragon had been born in the Decker Mountain Range and had attacked Eugene City numerous times. Just as it advanced to the Mythic rank, it was severely injured by many Legend-rank Beast Tamers. After that, this Flood Dragon escaped into the depths of the Decker Mountain Range and should have died due to its serious injuries. However, the whereabouts of its corpse was a mystery and no one could find it. The three Flood Dragons in front of them were probably the descendants of the Netherworld Flood Dragon. However, after so many years, the power in their bodies that came from their bloodline had weakened greatly. However, they were still extremely horrifying. On the other hand, the three blood-colored Flood Dragons had already begun attacking. After Gandalf and Cami fused with the power of their ferocious beasts, they stepped forward to fight. Soon, the ce was in chaos and the cave was on the verge of copse. However, they still persevered. Cami broke through a wall, and the thick smell of blood filled the air. Everyone subconsciously looked over and saw a huge blood pool. There was a ck shadow in the blood that looked like a sleeping dragon. ¡°That is¡­!¡± Cami, who was fighting, was shocked when she saw this. ¡°You really found the corpse of the Netherworld Flood Dragon!¡± The three blood-colored Flood Dragons smiled sinisterly. ¡°That¡¯s right. Just you wait. Milord¡¯s n is about to seed. When the timees, all of you will die!¡± With that, the few of them started fighting again. However, right at that moment, the three blood-coloured Flood Dragons suddenly came to a halt. Then, a look of pain appeared on their sinister faces. ¡°How can this be?! What¡¯s with this sudden pain?¡± Seeing this, Gandalf and Cami looked at each other and seized the opportunity to attack. Beside them, Giles stroked the head of the Three-headed Hellhound. He had really underestimated this Soul Poison. He did not expect even those of Legend-rank to be affected. Chapter 57 - Terrifying Netherworld Flood Dragon

Chapter 57: Terrifying Netherworld Flood Dragon

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the cave, due to the corrosion of the Soul Poison, the three blood-red Flood Dragons were forced to retreat under Gandalf and Cami¡¯s attacks. At that moment, one of the blood-colored Flood Dragons roared. It could feel its soul getting corroding incessantly. Even with its Legend-rank strength, it could not withstand it. It could only slow it down. It looked at the other two Flood Dragons and knew that they were dead for sure. Then, it jumped into the blood pool. The next moment, their bodies began to melt. They turned into blood and fused with the blood pool. ¡°Haha, when Milord wakes up, all of you shall be buried with us!¡± They looked at all of them coldly before gradually fusing into the blood pool.. At the same time, the dragon-shaped ck shadow in the depths of the blood pool began to move. ¡°Not enough, still not enough!¡± A furious roar rang out from the blood pool. Then, endless blood gushed out from the pool and swept towards everyone¡¯s ferocious beasts. One of the Beast Tamers¡¯ ferocious beasts did not manage to dodge and was instantly enveloped in blood. Then, not even its bones were left behind as it turned into a part of the blood. If there was one, there would be another. Soon, many of the Beast Tamers¡¯ ferocious beasts were swept into the blood and became a part of the blood. The dragon-shaped shadow in the blood pool also began to struggle. Giles shuddered at the sight. ¡°D*mn it, the people from the Beast Blood Sect actually want to control the corpse of this Netherworld Flood Dragon. We must not let them seed,¡± Cami said through clenched teeth. The Netherworld Flood Dragon was a ferocious beast that was just short of advancing to the Mythic rank. If the people from the Beast Blood Sect seeded, no one here would be able to escape. When Giles heard this, he turned to look at the Three-headed Hellhound. When he killed Jim previously, he had obtained the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Blood Contract Technique. There were some other secret techniques on it, but they all required a human soul. In that case, will the Three-Headed Hellhound¡¯s Soul Poison be of any use in this current situation? However, under the current circumstances, Giles could only take a gamble. ¡°Three-Headed Hellhound, use your Soul Poison!¡± Immediately, the ck mes on the Three-Headed Hellhound burned furiously. Then, an invisible Soul Poison appeared and spread across the entire blood pool as per Giles¡¯ instructions. The next moment, the blood nearly swept all the beasts into the blood pool. Even Gandalf and Cami failed to stop it. Then, the endless blood returned to the blood pool. Seeming to have absorbed enough energy, the Netherworld Flood Dragon in the blood pool finally stretched its body. A ferocious, massive dragon head appeared on the surface of the blood pool, followed by a body that contained terrifying power. Seeing this scene, everyone¡¯s breathing froze, and their hearts were filled with despair. How are they supposed to fight a ferocious beast that was about to break through to the Mythic rank? ¡°My n has finally seeded. Just wait to die, you little worms!¡± The Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s cold gaze swept across everyone as it spoke in an icy tone. Just as it was about to attack, its body shook violently, and its face was filled with pain. ¡°D*mn it, where is this paining from? Could it be that my n was wed and I didn¡¯t seedpletely?¡± Gandalf and Cami were dumbfounded at the sight. Then, they turned to Giles. They had once again underestimated the terror of Giles¡¯ ferocious beast. Even a ferocious beast that is about to break through to the Mythic rank is affected. This is in defiance of the natural order! However, the two of them didn¡¯t have time to say anything. Theyposed themselves and charged towards the Netherworld Flood Dragon. Take advantage of one¡¯s vulnerability to take their life! This has been an unchanging principle since ancient times. On the other hand, Giles had the Three-Headed Hellhound continuously release the Soul Poison. Then, he summoned all the beasts in his body. The Swan Beast activated its innate skill and transformed into a four-winged Swan Beast. The King Kong Beast turned into a terrifying thirty-meter-tall beast. The Little Beetle began to gather energy on its horn. Sun Wukong held a long staff made from the bones of Legend-rank ferocious beasts. Its fighting spirit spread throughout its entire body. Facing the terrifying Netherworld Flood Dragon, Giles used all his strength! The Three-Headed Hellhound continued to release the Soul Poison, and the Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s condition plummeted. The King Kong Beast went forward and grabbed the Netherworld Flood Dragon with its hands that were like huge fans, pulling it out of the blood pool. The Four-Winged Swan Beast continued to unleash violent winds to interfere with the Netherworld Flood Dragon. The Little Beetle condensed all the energy in its body and then activated the Super Atomic Ray. Itnded on the body of the Netherworld Flood Dragon and left a huge wound. Sun Wukong continuously teleported and waved the long staff in its hand. Every strike of the staff contained thousands of kilograms of force, causing the Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s blood to gush out everytime the staffnded on the body of the Flood Dragon. Beside him, there were also Beast Tamers who had released their ferocious beasts to attack the Netherworld Flood Dragon. However, because they were not strong enough, they were killed in a sh. At the same time, Gandalf and Cami, who had obtained the power of a Legend-rank beast after fusing with their beast¡¯s spirit, were also attacking the Netherworld Flood Dragon. At that moment, the Netherworld Flood Dragon swung its tail and immediately swept the King Kong Beast into the blood pool. Giles¡¯ heart constricted at the sight. He had seen how terrifying the blood pool was previously. Legend-rank beasts turned into blood the moment theynded in it. Now that the King Kong Beast has fallen in, won¡¯t it be in danger? However, to Giles¡¯ surprise, not only was the King Kong Beast fine after falling in, the wounds on its body also gradually healed. Giles¡¯ eyes lit up at the sight. He could roughly guess the reason. The previous blood pool might have been set up by the Beast Blood Sect, but now that they had seeded, the blood pool that had fused with the corpses of numerous ferocious beasts had be a huge pool of blood medicine! ¡°King Kong Beast, stop the Netherworld Flood Dragon from entering the blood pool.¡± The King Kong Beast, which was still in a daze, immediately snapped out of it and charged towards the Netherworld Flood Dragon. Being over thirty meters tall, it was like a Godfiend that had walked out from ancient times. Although it was no match for the Netherworld Flood Dragon, it still roared and charged forward, standing in between the Netherworld Flood Dragon and the blood pool. Seeing this, the Netherworld Flood Dragon turned around and red at Giles. However, it didn¡¯t have time to think further. The reason being that the attack from behind had already arrived. The Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s body was filled with wounds. It wanted to return to the blood pool to recover, but it was being obstructed by the King Kong Beast. No matter how furious it was, it had no choice but to continue fighting. However, under the continuous corrosion of the Soul Poison, its condition continued to deteriorate, and more and more wounds appeared on its body. During the battle, it had already discovered the reason for this. The next moment, it actually endured a few attacks as it changed direction in a split second and charged towards the Three-Headed Hellhound. This was out of everyone¡¯s expectations. Even Giles could not react in time. At that moment, the Three-Headed Hellhound was standing next to Giles. Clearly, the Netherworld Flood Dragon also intended to get rid of Giles. Seeing that the Netherworld Serpent was getting closer and closer, Giles did not panic. In a sh, he had already left that spot. It was Sun Wukong¡¯s teleportation that saved him. After saving Giles, Sun Wukong teleported immediately, nning to save the Three-headed Hellhound and other spirit beasts. However, as soon as it teleported over, it saw the Little Beetle and Swan Beast, who were standing together with the Three-Headed Hellhound, getting attacked. They were swept aside by the Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s tail, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive. Then, the Netherworld Flood Dragon turned around and began to attack Sun Wukong. Before Sun Wukong could dodge, the Netherworld Flood Dragon sent it flying a short distance away with a p. It spat out a mouthful of blood. All of this had happened in an instant. Gandalf and Cami also rushed over and surrounded the Flood Dragon before attacking. However, at that moment, apart from the King Kong Beast, Giles¡¯ ferocious beasts all lost their ability to fight! Chapter 58 - The Curtain Falls, Return to Eugene City

Chapter 58: The Curtain Falls, Return to Eugene City

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Oh my God, are Giles¡¯ spirit beasts all that sick?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. They¡¯re actually able to fight a ferocious beast that¡¯s about to break through to the Mythic rank. This is unbelievable.¡± ¡°D*mn it, this Netherworld Flood Dragon is too cunning. It actually went straight to deal with Giles¡¯ beasts. Without their support, it will be very difficult to win this battle.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the backup? Where¡¯s the backup? I don¡¯t believe that the Beast Tamer Association only has two Legend-rank Beast Tamers, Gandalf and Cami.¡± ¡­ Through the miniature cameras that Giles and the others were wearing on them, many people in Eugene City were witnessing the battle and feeling worried for them. Needless to say, Giles was unaware of all this.. Sensing that his spirit beasts were merely injured, Giles immediately heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°King Kong Beast, quickly send Sun Wukong and the others into the blood pool,¡± Giles instructed. At that moment, the Netherworld Flood Dragon was held back by Gandalf and Cami and could not get away. After receiving the order, the King Kong Beast strode over and sent Sun Wukong and the other spirit beasts into the blood pool. Through his spiritual sensing, he could feel their aura increasing. Giles immediately felt relieved. Then, Giles turned his gaze to the Netherworld Flood Dragon and his expression turned grave. At that moment, the Netherworld Flood Dragon was covered in countless wounds, but this did not affect its strength. It even had the upper hand against Gandalf and Cami¡¯s attacks. However, he kept wanting to get rid of the two of them and enter the blood pool, but couldn¡¯t seed. The King Kong Beast also joined the battle. Although its strength was inferior to the Netherworld Flood Dragon, its terrifying strength still made it difficult for the Flood Dragon to withstand. However, wounds gradually appeared on the King Kong Beast¡¯s body. Fortunately, it could return to the blood pool to recuperate. Fifteen minutester, it emerged from the blood pool with full health and continued to fight the Netherworld Flood Dragon. The cave had already been destroyed by the battle, and the bright sunlight from the outside world shone in. Just then, the Netherworld Flood Dragon, which had been entangled with them for a long time, roared furiously. Then, a dense blood-colored mist appeared on its body. Seeing this, Gandalf and Cami attacked even faster. Attacks containing terrifying energy shot towards the Netherworld Flood Dragon. They all knew that the Netherworld Flood Dragon was using the Blood Ignition Technique. They had to stop it. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to deal with. ¡°It¡¯s toote! Everyone here must die!¡± The Netherworld Flood Dragon roared furiously as its cold gaze swept across everyone present. At that moment, the fury in his heart had already reached its peak. It had thought that no one would be able to stop it after it took over the body of the Netherworld Flood Dragon. Unexpectedly, it had first had his soul corroded by the strange beast¡¯s poison, and then he had been held back by these two people, unable to escape. He could only use the Blood Ignition Technique. The next moment, an endless blood mist enveloped its entire body. Then, its aura gradually began to rise. It was just slightly short of reaching the Mythic rank. However, that was enough for it. With a swipe of its tail, it knocked the King Kong Beast to the side, flinging it into a rock. That was enough to reflect how terrifying the power contained in this strike was. Gandalf and Cami were greatly shocked, but they gritted their teeth and continued to attack. However, the strengthened Netherworld Flood Dragon was extremely terrifying and quickly sent the two of them flying. Just as it was about to kill the two of them, a pink light came attacking towards it. The Netherworld Flood Dragon instantly took a few steps back. The next moment, the pink light disappeared and a beautiful woman appeared in the air. Her beautiful eyes scanned the area, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Giles was fine. ¡°I¡¯m not toote.¡± Giles was also surprised to see the beautiful woman. At the same time, the little fox that he kept in his Beast-taming space suddenly became excited. This was because the beautiful woman was the Legend-rank ferocious beast they had encountered in the Solomon Mountain Range. Giles suddenly thought of something. He summoned the little fox and carried it in his arms. When the beautiful woman saw the little fox, she smiled at it dotingly. Then, she raised her hand slightly and sent the severely injured and unconscious King Kong Beast into the blood pool to recuperate. After doing all these, she looked at the Netherworld Flood Dragon with an icy expression. ¡°I was just worried about being unable to find people from the Beast Blood Sect to take revenge. I didn¡¯t expect to encounter an elder from the Beast Blood Sect. Just ept your death.¡± The battle began again. The woman raised her hand slightly and the surroundings changed drastically. Countless peach trees bloomed with pink peach blossoms. Their petals drifted along with the breeze andnded on the body of the Netherworld Flood Dragon, leaving behind horrifying wounds. Seeing this scene, the Netherworld Flood Dragon¡¯s eyes were filled with shock and anger. ¡°You are also a ferocious beast that is just one step away from advancing to the Mythic rank. Why are you helping those humans?¡± The woman said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m only doing this for revenge. Who asked you to have designs on my daughter?¡± Upon hearing this, the Flood Dragon cursed its subordinates in its heart. If not for the fact that they were all dead, he would have dragged them out and tortured them countless times. What a terrifying enemy that they had provoked for him! The Netherworld Flood Dragon could clearly sense that the woman in front of it was far stronger than it was. Even if it used the Blood Ignition Technique, it would not be able to fight against her. Furthermore, it did not dare to use the Blood Ignition Technique for a long period of time. After all, it was burning its own blood essence. Other than that, it would also cause damage to his soul. Therefore, the Netherworld Flood Dragon had the thought of fleeing. The next moment, it suddenly twisted his body and transformed into an afterimage that bolted out of the peach forest. Then, it quickly fled. Seeing this, the woman did not choose to chase after him. At their rank, if they wanted to leave, it would be very difficult to hold them back. ¡°I will definitely pay you back for today¡¯s grudge in the future!¡± Just as it was about to disappear, the Netherworld Flood Dragon said something fierce. The woman snorted and shot a beam of light at the Netherworld Flood Dragon. It didn¡¯t dare to stay any longer and disappeared into the horizon. Seeing this, Giles heaved a sigh of relief.?It¡¯s finally over. The Beast Tamers by the side also heaved a sigh of relief. Some of them even sat on the ground to calm their hearts. Gandalf and Cami were not seriously injured. The two of them walked up to the woman to express their gratitude. ¡°Thank you for your help, Madam. May I know how to address you?¡± ¡°Just call me Janice,¡± the woman said coldly. Giles, who was beside them, felt embarrassed to hear this. He only found out the woman¡¯s name now. ¡°Mrs Janice, thank you for your help,¡± Giles expressed his gratitude as well. The little fox in his arms was also waving its furry paw as if it was greeting its mother. Janice smiled at the sight, before signalling to Giles. The two of them followed her to the blood pool. Giles¡¯ beasts were immersed in the blood pool. Their wounds had healed, but they still did not wake up. Upon seeing this, Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. ¡°This blood pool contains the blood of many ferocious beasts. It¡¯s extremely beneficial to them. They are all in the midst of a transformation. This will take a very long time.¡± Janice could tell that Giles was worried, so she offered an exnation. ¡°How long will it take?¡± Giles was relieved to learn that they were fine. ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s hard to say. It could be three months, or half a year, or even years.¡± Janice frowned. Clearly, she couldn¡¯t be sure. Upon hearing this, Giles¡¯ brows knitted together. He hadn¡¯t expected it to take so long. If it really took a year or two, Giles really couldn¡¯t afford to wait but he also wasn¡¯tfortable with just leaving them here. Janice saw his worry and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t stay here for long, I can help you look after them.¡± ¡°Won¡¯t that be troubling you, Madam?¡± Giles asked. ¡°It¡¯s alright. The environment here is not bad. I¡¯ll just take it as I¡¯m moving house,¡± Janice said. Giles nodded. ¡°In that case, thank you, Madam.¡± Without having to worry anymore, Giles felt reassured. He thanked Janice and took ast look at the blood pool. Then, he followed Gandalf, Cami, and the others back to Eugene City. Just like that, the curtain fell on the events at the Decker Mountain Range. Chapter 59 - Garudas Story

Chapter 59: Garuda¡¯s Story

Eugene City, Beast Tamer Association. The Beast Tamers who had returned alive stood in the hall with their minds inplete chaos. Many people¡¯s contracted spirit beasts had been killed. It could be said that their losses were immense. There was no need to continue thepetition. With most people¡¯s spirit beasts gone, how could theypete? Some people questioned the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s inappropriate nning which resulted in this oue. The Beast Tamer Association did not agree with them about this. After all, they had told everyone in advance. At the same time, they promised to give everyone apensation of considerable value. Other than that, the Beast Tamer Association announced that the friendly match was canceled and that it would be held again sometimeter. The Dragon Blood Grass that Giles obtained from the Decker Mountain Range was also handed over to the Beast Tamer Association and he obtained a resource of equivalent value. Of course, the Dragon Blood Grass was also sent to Alina in the end. With the help of the Beast Tamer Association, Alina sessfully consumed it and resolved her body¡¯s problem. ¡°Giles, thank you very much.¡± Alina¡¯s eyes sparkled as she looked at Giles with watery eyes. Then, before Giles could say anything, she hugged him tightly. The unique fragrance that was unique to girls filled the air. Feeling the girl¡¯s weak body in his arms, Giles hugged her back. Time seemed to have stopped at that moment. ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s time to go.¡± Gandalf broke the silence. Giles wasn¡¯t nning to stay here. He couldn¡¯t wait that long. With Janice here to look after them, he felt assured and prepared to return to Yin City with Alina. However, as Giles¡¯ spirit beasts were all in a deep slumber here and Alina was only at the Gold rank, Gandalf had to personally send the two of them back to Yin City. After all, one was Giles, who had helped them a lot, and the other was the daughter of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. The Beast Tamer Association was also willing to do them a favor. Together with Alina, they stepped onto Gandalf¡¯s flying beast and headed back to Yin City. It had to be said that the speed of a Legend-rank beast was indeed fast. In just two days, the two of them returned to Yin City. When theynded in Yin City, Giles felt like it was very surreal. It was as if he had experienced a lot during this trip. Most importantly, the few spirit beasts in his hands had been left in Eugene City. However, there would definitely be a day when they woke up. When that time came, their transformation would definitely be astonishing. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve sessfully sent you two to your destination. My mission isplete.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t been to Yin City in a long time. I¡¯ll go to the Beast Tamer Association to look for a few old friends. You guys can head home first.¡± After saying that, Gandalf rushed towards the Beast Tamer Association in the city. Alina and Giles looked at each other. Alina blushed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve been gone for a long time. I need to go home first.¡± Giles nodded. ¡°Okay, I want to go and take a look at the gym too.¡± After the two of them bade each other farewell, Giles returned to Starlux Gym. Although it had been a long time since he left, this ce was still very clean. It was clear that someone from the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce had cleaned it. Giles walked to the spirit-beast section and let out all the spirit beast cubs that he had brought along with him previously. There were about a dozen of them. As Giles had been worried about leaving them in the gym and also because they were pestering him, he had no choice but to bring them along previously. However, along the way, apart from feeding them, he did not tell them any stories. At that moment, they looked at Giles in grievance. Upon seeing this scene, Giles smiled wryly. ¡°It¡¯s already toote today. I¡¯ll tell you a story tomorrow, alright?¡± When they heard this, the eyes of the ten or so spirit beast cubs lit up. Not bothering with them any further, Giles walked into his room and began to rest. He hadn¡¯t had a good rest in days. The night passed uneventfully. The next day, Giles woke up feeling refreshed. After washing up and eating casually, Giles enjoyed his leisure time. However, it was obvious that there were spirit beasts that did not want him to be so rxed. The ten or so spirit beast cubs ran over from the spirit-beast section and gathered beside Giles, staring at him withrge watery eyes. The little fox that he had brought back from the Solomon Mountains didn¡¯t know what was happening and jumped into Giles¡¯ arms. Feeling the furry touch in his arms, Giles instinctively stroked it. Then, his gaze was attracted by a small golden eagle standing on the tree. It was the descendant of Alice¡¯s Epic-rank beast. Looking at it, Giles thought of the story he wanted to tell. He smiled and swept his gaze across the cubs in front of him. ¡°Next, I¡¯ll tell you a story.¡± Upon hearing this, the spirit beast cubs immediately sat in a line and waited for Giles¡¯ story. ¡°This is a story about revenge and protection.¡± ¡°In ancient times, the Gods emerged in an unending floor. Endless wars of the Gods spread across the entire continent, and every race joined in this terrifying battle.¡± ¡°After a long period of war, many creatures lost their lives. The Snake God, Naga, led its race through countless battles and became the ruler of many tribes. They roamed the continent in a vain attempt to conquer the world. Even when the Gods attacked them, they would be directly killed by them and the mes of war continued.¡± ¡°It eventually burned to a race called Garuda. This race has an eagle head and a human body, with a pair of golden wings on their back that allowed them to soar through the nine heavens. When every member of the tribe matures, they are all natural warriors with terrifying strength that can rip metal apart with their bare hands. However, they love peace and have been avoiding the chaos of war. However, in this era where the Gods are fighting for supremacy, which race can avoid it?¡± ¡°The Nagas were afraid of their power. In order to prevent this tribe from standing in the way of their ambition to rule the world, they deployed many forces topletely exterminate this race.¡± ¡°They seeded, but they also failed.¡± ¡°The Garuda race was wiped out, and corpses were strewn all over the ce. The Naga race had taken another small step forward in dominating the world.¡± ¡°However, what they did not expect was¡­¡± ¡°Amongst the corpses of countless Garudas, a young Garuda crawled out.¡± ¡­ Chapter 60 - Using Blood to Forge Wings of Hatred, the Technique to Devour Everything

Chapter 60: Using Blood to Forge Wings of Hatred, the Technique to Devour Everything

Inside Starlux Gym. Giles¡¯ teeth ttered against each other lightly as his gentle voice traveled into the ears of the dozen or so spirit beast cubs. The little fox in his arms had never heard him tell a story before and couldn¡¯t help but be infatuated. The story continued. ¡°The Nagas left, but what they did not expect was¡­¡± ¡°A young Garuda survived. His eyes were zed as he looked at the corpses of his people. ¡°He could not believe that the Garuda n was destroyed just like that.¡± ¡°He cried bitterly. The Garuda n loved peace. Why would they suffer such a cmity?¡± ¡°He hated himself for being too weak and unable to fight alongside his tribesmen. He could only live an ignoble life.¡± ¡°He looked at the ground full of corpses. There were Garudas and Nagas.¡± ¡°His resolve strengthened.¡± ¡°He wants revenge!¡± ¡°He wants to ughter the entire Naga n!¡± ¡°From then on, his name shall be Garuda!¡± ¡°His mission is to take revenge!¡± ¡°But revenge requires strength. His weak self was no match for the Naga race.¡± ¡°At that moment, he thought of the Garuda n¡¯s secret skill, the Devour Technique.¡± ¡°One can obtain power by devouring everything.¡± ¡°Looking at the corpses all over the ground, he struggled for a moment before beginning to devour the corpses of his own kind. ¡°He endured the hatred in his heart and swallowed the corpses that were all over the ground. There were some from the Garuda race and some from the Naga race.¡± ¡°To obtain power for revenge, he could only do this!¡± ¡°Gradually, the golden wings behind Garuda turned into dense ck wings that were covered in sharp and ck sword feathers. Endless power surged throughout his body.¡± ¡°This was the Wings of Hatred forged from the blood of the Garuda race!¡± ¡°He spread his ck wings open and flew into the sky.¡± ¡°At this moment, Garuda was no longer an emissary of peace, but a Death God from hell.¡± ¡°The hatred of the Garuda n can only be repaid with the blood of Nagas!¡± ¡°Garuda flew above the continent and saw the Nagas still fighting in all directions, causing countless lives to die.¡± ¡°His eyes widened. pping his ck wings, he began to kill and devour the members of the Naga race. Wherever the Naga race appeared, he would appear. ¡°Gradually, people learned that wherever the ck wings appear, it means that the Death God of the Naga Race had arrived.¡± ¡°Finally, Garuda, who had devoured countless Nagas, encountered the Snake God, Naga.¡± ¡°This was a predestined battle.¡± ¡°Garuda pped his ck wings and boundless ck sword feathers shot towards the Snake God Naga. At the same time, his powerful body approached and grabbed the body of the Snake God Naga.¡± ¡°With a horrifying wave of power, he ripped the Snake God Naga into two by him and the Snake God became his food. He devoured it to strengthen his body.¡± ¡°With the death of Snake God Naga, the mes of war weakened greatly, but they didn¡¯t disappear.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because there were still other races that were engaged in intense battles.¡± ¡°Garuda wants to stop this war, but he knew that only an extremely powerful force could stop all of it.¡± ¡°He began to devour the corpses of the dead creatures on the continent and other things that contained energy just to strengthen himself.¡± ¡°Some people thought that he was a bad omen that specially appeared on battlefields filled with corpses.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t care. He just wanted to make himself stronger.¡± ¡°Finally, after God knows how long¡­¡± ¡°With a loud eagle cry, Garuda stood in the sky above the continent with its ck wings.¡± ¡°At that moment, all the races that were fighting stopped their battle.¡± ¡°It was because they sensed an extremely terrifying powering from Garuda. That power was unstoppable and even deities had to yield to him.¡± ¡°With Garuda¡¯s forceful intervention, the mes of war on the continent stopped. Numerous creatures cheered and praised Garuda¡¯s name.¡± ¡°At that moment, Garuda was no longer a bad omen of disaster, but the emissary of peace.¡± The story ended there. From revenge to protection, Garuda¡¯s story came to an end. The courtyard was silent. Giles looked at the Little Golden Eagle standing on the tree, expectant. I wonder how he will evolve. On the other hand, the Little Golden Eagle that Giles was staring at had its eyes closed. It was immersed in Garuda¡¯s world. It saw the life of Garuda. It grieved over the destruction of the Garuda n. It was happy that Garuda had taken revenge. It was even angrier that Garuda had been mistaken as a bad omen. However, he was also impressed by Garuda for protecting the peace and stopping the mes of war. In the end, it became the Garuda in the story and experienced its life personally. From the beginning of its revenge to the end, it felt like it was Garuda. However, it knew that it was just a Bronze-rank spirit beast that was far from beingparable to Senior Garuda. That¡¯s right, it had already regarded Garuda as its goal and decided to use its life to achieve that goal. It began to observe Garuda¡¯s battle. It saw Garuda devouring everything to obtain power. It saw Garuda tearing apart the Snake God, Naga. This scene made its soul tremble with excitement. In the end, it felt some strange memories appearing in its mind. It was Garuda¡¯s Technique of Devouring Everything! As long as it continued to devour everything, it would obtain the power of Senior Garuda! At that moment, the Little Golden Eagle shuddered and suddenly opened its eyes which were filled with excitement. Then, it rushed into Giles¡¯ room and opened a box. Inside the box were the cores of some ferocious beasts that Giles had collected previously. The Little Golden Eagle picked up two Gold-rank beast cores and swallowed them. Upon seeing this, Giles nearly jumped up in fright. This was because the Little Gold Eagle had yet to evolve. It was just a Bronze-rank spirit beast and was unable to withstand the terrifying energy contained in the core of a Gold-rank ferocious beast. If one was careless, their body would explode and they would die. However, the situation that Giles was worried about did not happen. After the Little Golden Eagle swallowed the two cores, it actually felt that it was not enough and ate another two pieces. Giles scratched his head at the sight. It seems fine? The next moment, the Little Golden Eagle that had swallowed a few beast cores slowly closed its eyes. A mysterious power wrapped around its entire body and it actually began to evolve. Chapter 61 - Dont Worry! All of You Have a Chance to Evolve!

Chapter 61: Don¡¯t Worry! All of You Have a Chance to Evolve!

It was clearly different from the previous spirit beasts. That Little Golden Eagle¡¯s evolution took a slightly longer time. Giles was also very patient. He merely hugged the Little Fox in his arms and silently watched the Little Golden Eagle evolve bit by bit. Giles was already imagining the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s majestic appearance after its evolution. After all, the Swan Beast, his flying beast that could fly him around, had been injured during the battle in the Decker Mountain Range. Now, it was soaking in the blood pool and unable to move. Right now, Giles needed another powerful flying beast to rece the Swan Beast. That was why Giles had specially chosen Garuda¡¯s story, hoping for the Little Golden Eagle in front of him toplete its evolution and rece the Swan Beast. However, Giles was so focused on imagining the scene of him riding the evolved Little Golden Eagle that he did not notice the reactions of the other spirit beasts. Other than the Little Fox in his arms, all the spirit beasts were lying on the ground and trembling. This was because they had sensed a familiar aura. That aura came from a woman and an Epic-rank spirit beast. At that moment, Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was outside the gym and curiously observing everything that was happening inside. It was her appearance that caused the spirit beasts in Starlux Gym to panic. As spirit beasts were far more perceptive than humans, they could sense Alice before Giles, a human, did. However, Alice was confused by Giles¡¯ strange actions. Telling stories to the spirit beasts and letting the spirit beasts devour high-grade cores? She let Giles be in charge of Starlux Gym but he nearly demolished it! Starlux Gym is the hard work of the previous gym leader. This won¡¯t do, she had to stop him. Just as Alice was about to rush into the gym, the Giant Golden Eagle beside hermunicated with Alice telepathically and begged her, ¡°Master, wait a while more.¡± Sensing the Giant Golden Eagle¡¯s voice in her mind, Alice turned around and replied, ¡°Why? Your daughter identally ate the cores of two Gold-rank ferocious beasts. It is about to explode and die, yet you are actually telling me to wait a while longer?¡± The Giant Golden Eagle pped its wings and exined respectfully, ¡°No, Master, my daughter is evolving. That¡¯s why I advised you not to interrupt her now.¡± Alice was even more puzzled by the Giant Golden Eagle¡¯s exnation. ¡°Just two ferocious beast cores can help your daughter evolve? In that case, I¡¯ve fed you so many beast cores, but why haven¡¯t you evolved into a Mythic-rank spirit beast?¡± Hearing Alice¡¯s mocking words, the Giant Golden Eagle lowered its head even more. ¡°Master, I think Giles¡¯ story made my daughter realize something. That¡¯s why she evolved.¡± ¡°Not only her, but I also benefited greatly. Just now, under the influence of that story, my mental state entered a magical world. It was as if I had transformed into the brave King Garuda.¡± With that, the Giant Golden Eagle raised its head and puffed out its chest. Its sharp eagle eyes looked confidently at Alice. Then, Alice was surprised to discover that her Giant Golden Eagle¡¯s aura had changed drastically. It was valiant and steadfast. The current Giant Golden Eagle was like an invincible king in the sky. Not only that, but the spirit energy on its body had also increased greatly. It even vaguely seemed like it was going to break through from the Epic rank to the Legend rank. Alice was shocked. A story can help a spirit beast evolve! At once, this made Alice realize Giles¡¯ potential value. As long as Giles was around, the evolution of the spirit beasts in the gym would be much easier. Starlux Gym could be the best gym on the Blue in an extremely short period of time. In this world where Beast Tamers were respected, a Beast Tamer who could allow spirit beasts to evolve easily had immense value and enticement. If word of this got out, not to mention this small Yin City, even other Beast Tamers and various forces on the entire Blue would flock to Giles like ducks. This was because the evolution requirements for the spirit beasts of other Beast Tamers were very harsh. If they wanted to evolve, they had to devour the cores of spirit beasts that were at least one rank higher. For example, a Bronze-rank spirit beast would have to devour the core of a Silver-rank spirit beast. If a Silver-rank spirit beast wanted to evolve, it would have to devour the core of a Gold-rank spirit beast. Based on this, after reaching the Legend rank, if a spirit beast wanted to evolve, it would have to devour the core of a Mythic-rank spirit beast! That was almost impossible. Mythic-rank spirit beasts were creatures that lived in rumors. They had never even seen a Mythic-rank spirit beast, let alone obtain its core. Therefore, although there were Legend-rank Beast Tamers on the Blue, there were no Mythic-rank Beast Tamers. The requirement that restricted the evolution of spirit beasts was not only that they had to devour the cores of higher-ranking spirit beasts. The bloodline power of every spirit beast was also an important factor. Spirit beasts possessed strength that far exceeded ordinary humans, but they had also paid a price. The rank of a spirit beast was basically destined the moment it was born. The power and abilities of a spirit beast were all from their bloodline. Basically, no Beast Tamer could interfere with the bloodline power of a spirit beast. For example, a spirit beast like the Giant Golden Eagle could at most evolve to the Epic rank. It was almost impossible for it to evolve further. Therefore, the Giant Golden Eagle was often used as a spirit beast mount and was not very useful. That was exactly what Alice did. However, the Epic-rank Giant Golden Eagle in front of her was about to advance to the Legend rank! The reason for that was simply because Giles had made up a story! Alice found it hard to believe what she was seeing. This fact shocked and delighted Alice and the Giant Golden Eagle. However, Alice was the ninth-generation Gym Leader of Starlux Gym after all. She was very adaptive. She forcefully suppressed the shock and happiness in her heart and quickly took out a few Legend-rank spirit beast cores from the spatial wristband she wore and fed them to the Giant Golden Eagle. Then, a mysterious energy enshrouded the Giant Golden Eagle¡¯s body. The gradually increasing aura on the Giant Golden Eagle¡¯s body also made the spirit beast cubs in the gym tremble uncontrobly. The Giant Golden Eagle outside the gym and the Little Golden Eagle inside the gym had yet to break through. Alice didn¡¯t rush in, because the Giant Golden Eagle told her that the story of Garuda might not have finished yet. At that moment, Alice also wanted to see what secrets Giles had on him. Thus, she waited outside Starlux Gym with her eagle. Inside Starlux Gym. After a long while, Giles still did not see the Little Golden Eagle evolving. He also grew impatient. Ever since he took charge of Starlux Gym and told stories to the spirit beasts in the gym, nothing like this had ever happened before. Hence, Giles pondered over the reason as he looked around the gym. Only then did Giles discover the changes in the bodies of the Bronze-rank spirit beast cubs that had yet to evolve. Those spirit beast cubs seemed to be afraid of something. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Even if Little Eagle evolves, it won¡¯t hurt you. I usually remind it that spirit beasts have to get along harmoniously.¡± With that said, Giles consoled them, ¡°It¡¯s alright. All of you will have a chance of evolving.¡± Chapter 62 - Overconsumption! Turbulent Spiritual Energy! Failed to Evolve?

Chapter 62: Overconsumption! Turbulent Spiritual Energy! Failed to Evolve?

As the Little Golden Eagle began to evolve, the surrounding spiritual energy amassed and surged towards it. Giles was neither surprised nor shocked by the dramatic scene in front of him. This was because he had already experienced a few simr situations whenever he finished telling a story. In his memories, some spirit beast cubs would more or less undergo some changes after hearing the story. They would either begin to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and evolve, or assimte some special skill in the story. Evidently, the Little Golden Eagle was the former situation. However, after more than ten seconds of the Little Golden Eagle being enveloped in the spiritual energy, Giles could not help but frown. This was because themotion caused by the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s evolution was much greater than he had expected. Perhaps it was because it had swallowed the beast cores, but as the Little Gold Eagle absorbed the spiritual energy, the green and moist grass under its feet was also turning yellow and dry at a visible speed. Furthermore, the spirit beast cubs nearby who were listening to the story also fainted one after another because of this. This forceful plundering of the surrounding spiritual energy, coupled with the Little Golden Eagle swallowing the beast cores, made Giles think of the story he had just told. The Little Golden Eagle must have learned the ¡®Devour¡¯ skill like that of the Garuda in the story. If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s clearly out of control right now! After realizing this, Giles had a bad feeling. At that moment, the Little Golden Eagle, which was enveloped in spiritual energy, began to cry out miserably. Upon hearing this, Giles hurriedly raised his left hand towards the spiritual energy where the Little Golden Eagle could no longer be seen. As the eagle w tattoo on the back of his hand that represented a contract with the Little Golden Eagle lit up, he began to help the Little Golden Eagle, whose body was almost bursting, to absorb the spiritual energy through the connection established between them. At that moment, the immense spiritual energy seemed to have found an outlet. Like a stormy sea, it surged towards the back of Giles¡¯ hand from the Golden Eagle¡¯s body. The moment the spiritual energy entered the spirit beast tattoo, a violent pain shot through the back of Giles¡¯ hand. Even with his powerful spiritual power, which allowed him to contract more than ten spirit beasts, he still nearly fainted from the intense pain. As spiritual energy continued to surge into his body, drops of sweat the size of soybeans gathered on Giles¡¯ forehead and rolled down. His entire left arm had swelled up because he had forcefully absorbed arge amount of spiritual energy, making it look rather hideous and terrifying. The veins on his arms popped as Giles¡¯ heavy breathing continued. Furthermore, the skin on his left arm gradually cracked, and the blood flowing out of the wound quickly stained his arm red. Fortunately, the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s continuous cries of agony also began to lessen after Giles lent it a hand. ¡°Little Golden Eagle! Stop absorbing the spiritual energy! If this goes on, both our bodies will copse!¡± When the Little Golden Eagle stopped shrieking, Giles suppressed the pain in his arm andmanded the Little Golden Eagle. Following Giles¡¯mand, the eagle w tattoo on the back of his left hand lit up again. This was the support-type control method Beast Tamers could use on their spirit beasts after their spirit beasts agreed to establish a connection. After a spirit beast lost control of its emotions, Beast Tamers usually used this method to help the spirit beast stabilize its emotions. This was because Giles was not sure if the unconscious Little Golden Eagle could hear hismand especially after it had experienced the pain from before. Therefore, he could only try this method to help the Little Golden Eagle stop absorbing the spiritual energy. Under the continuous impact of the spiritual energy in its body, the Little Golden Eagle was already dizzy from the pain. However, in its trance, it vaguely sensed that the spiritual energy was no longer entering its body. Instead, it flowed in Giles¡¯ direction through the connection it had made with Giles. After the pain continued to lessen, it gradually regained consciousness and clearly heard Giles¡¯mand. Furthermore, it could also sense Giles¡¯ powerful spiritual power through the connection. With Giles¡¯ help, the focused Gold Eagle finally stopped absorbing the spiritual energy. As the spiritual energy enveloping the Little Golden Eagle gradually dissipated, the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s evolved body was revealed. Compared to before its evolution, its body was several timesrger and it was a meter tall when it stood up. If one did not look carefully, it looked like a child standing on its two feet. However, the most eye-catching thing was the two additional eagle ws that had grown out from the sides of its chest. The sharp ws were shimmering with an icy-cold glow. Its originally glossy metal feathers seemed to have been polished as they had be even smoother and more dazzling. Even the withered grass on the ground beside it was reflected in them. The spirit beast cubs that were originally sitting in a row finally snapped out of the terrifying ¡°spiritual energy storm¡±. With the brutal and unyielding way that the Little Golden Eagle had crazily plundered and absorbed spiritual energy just now, it had caused them, who were sitting nearby, to fall into a temporarya. After they regained consciousness, the group of spirit beast cubs couldn¡¯t help but retreat a distance when they saw the Little Golden Eagle, their eyes filled with fear and panic. This was because in their opinion, the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s current image was almost identical to that of Garuda in the story. The way the Golden Eagle swallowed the beast cores and absorbed the spiritual energy waspletely in line with the Garuda, who could devour everything, in the story. However, what surprised the spirit beast cubs was that after the Little Golden Eagle caused such a hugemotion, the aura it emitted after its evolution was inferior to the Gold-rank spirit beasts from before. This was because previously, apart from the Little Beetle who had learned a skill after listening to the story, the other spirit beasts had all broken through to the Gold rank after evolving. Only the Little Golden Eagle knew the reason. After the spiritual energy wrapped around its body dissipated, it did not pay attention to the group of panicked spirit beast cubs nearby. Instead, it looked down at its additional ws. It wanted to clench its ws into fists, but its ws only shook weakly. Seeing that its ws were so weak, the Little Golden Eagle could only ept reality. Its evolution had failed¡­ However, the Little Golden Eagle now realized how dangerous its action of swallowing the beast cores was. If it hadn¡¯t forcefully stopped its evolution with Giles¡¯ help when it had lost control, the violent spiritual energy in its body would have exploded in its body like a detonated bomb, even before it could sessfully evolve. Moreover, it would also have endangered its Beast Tamer Giles and its other spirit beastpanions. Feeling the remaining spiritual energy from the beast core in its body, the Little Gold Eagle recalled the excruciating pain that had prated deep into its bones. It was Giles who had reached out to it in the nick of time to share the burden of the violent and uncontroble spiritual energy and helped it to withstand the agony. At the thought of its Beast Tamer, Giles, the Little Golden Eagle turned its head gratefully in Giles¡¯ direction. Unexpectedly, it saw a scene that made its eyes widen! Giles¡¯ raised left arm, which was covered in sweat, was bleeding incessantly and was extremely swollen. His right arm, which was trembling non-stop, could barely prop him up on the ground to prevent his body from falling. Seeing that the Little Golden Eagle was looking at him and was safe and sound, Giles finally felt relieved. He smiled at the Little Golden Eagle, telling it not to worry about him. ¡°I¡¯m d you¡¯re okay. Don¡¯t worry about me¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Giles¡¯ frail body copsed forward. Chapter 63 - The Little Fox Actually Knows How to Bandage a Wound!

Chapter 63: The Little Fox Actually Knows How to Bandage a Wound!

After hearing the Little Fox¡¯s question, the spirit beast cubs that were baring their teeth previously lowered their heads in shame and didn¡¯t dare to look straight into the Little Fox¡¯s narrowed eyes. After the Little Golden Eagle left, the fear and panic in their hearts gradually dissipated. After calming down, they looked at the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s clumsy andical running posture, but they could notugh at all. This was because they all realized that they had indeed misunderstood the Little Golden Eagle. The Little Golden Eagle had learned the ¡®Devour¡¯ skill after listening to Garuda¡¯s story, but its gentle nature had not changed because of this. It was still the Little Golden Eagle that yed with everyone every day. Furthermore, when the Little Golden Eagle was faced with everyone¡¯s confusion and doubts, it did not get angry. Even though it had strength that was nearly at the Gold rank, it did not unleash its might orunch an attack to intimidate them. Seeing these ashamed spirit beast cubs lower their heads, the Little Fox, who was narrowing its eyes at them, retracted its gaze from them and turned around to look in the direction of the Little Golden Eagle. Based on what she knew, this group of spirit beast cubs had all lived in this courtyard in the spirit beast section, before they contracted with Giles. Recently, in order to be able to rush to the courtyard as soon as possible to take care of the spirit beasts, Giles simply moved his living quarters to the spirit-beast section of the gym. Although it was a room for staying in, it was in actuality more of a small wooden hut that had been casually built with wood. Apart from a bed and a table, there was nothing else in the wooden hut. Thus, it did not take long to find the gauze. Therefore, within a few minutes, the Little Fox, who was looking into the distance, saw the Little Golden Eagle staggering back. The Little Golden Eagle had its arms crossed against its chest as it hugged a few rolls of gauze. Furthermore, as if it was worried that the few rolls of gauze it was carrying would not be enough, its slightly opened eagle beak also had a roll of gauze in it. For some reason, a long section of the gauze hanging from the eagle¡¯s beak had been unfurled. It drifted along with the Little Golden Eagle footsteps, making it look veryical. However, for some reason, the Little Golden Eagle running speed slowed down. When it finally stopped, it was still a distance away from the Little Fox and the others. While the group of spirit beast cubs was puzzled by its actions, only the Little Fox understood the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s concerns. Turning around, she shot a meaningful look at the spirit beast cubs that were baring their teeth at the Little Golden Eagle. The spirit beast cubs immediately understood the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s meaning and took the initiative to walk towards the Little Golden Eagle. When the hesitant Little Golden Eagle saw them, it subconsciously took a step back. However, to the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s surprise, they were here to apologize. ¡°Little Golden Eagle, we¡¯re sorry.¡± Facing these spirit beast cubs that had suddenlye to apologize, the Little Golden Eagle was stunned. Then, it reacted and subconsciously waved its hands. ¡°You guys don¡¯t have to do this¡­ Ah!¡± Forgetting that there were still rolls of gauze in its beak and arms, the flustered Golden Eagle had waved its hands and opened its mouth, causing all the bandages to fall out. However, the gauze did not fall to the ground. Instead, it was wrapped up by a soft tail. Then, the Little Fox¡¯s voice could be heard, ¡°Since the misunderstanding between all of you has been resolved, there¡¯s no need to be so nervous.¡± The Little Golden Eagle¡¯s attention had been focused on the few spirit beast cubs. It was only when the Little Fox spoke that it realized that the Little Fox hade over as well. The Little Fox didn¡¯t bother with the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s shocked expression. She waved her tail that had caught the rolls of gauze, signalling for the Little Golden Eagle and the others to follow her. The Little Golden Eagle, who had snapped out of its daze, had just taken a few steps when it suddenly realized that the few spirit beast cubs had gathered around it. They knew that the Little Golden Eagle could not walk steadily, so they helped it to Giles¡¯ side. ¡°Hmm? Why is a section of this roll of gauze cut off?¡± Puzzled, the Little Fox picked up the roll of gauze that the Little Golden Eagle had ced in its beak. ¡°Uh, it¡¯s my fault for not paying attention back then¡­¡± The Little Golden Eagle awkwardly stretched out its newly grown hands. The ws on them shone with a sharp icy glow. The reason was obvious. When the Golden Eagle tried to pick up the gauze, its sharp ws had cut the gauze. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯ve brought enough gauze and your sharp ws wille in handy.¡± After consoling the embarrassed Little Golden Eagle, the Little Fox opened its narrowed eyes again. As the peach blossom in her eyes glowed slightly, Giles¡¯ entire left arm was enveloped in the pale pink spiritual energy again. At the same time, the Little Fox stretched out her two tiny paws and skillfully bandaged Giles¡¯ left arm with the gauze. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Giles¡¯ usual bandaging method? When did she learn it?¡± ¡°Not only does she know how to bandage wounds like this, but she¡¯s also very familiar with it!¡± ¡°Did she not learn it from Giles? In that case, who did she learn it from?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The spirit beast cubs that were surrounding Giles were extremely shocked that the Little Fox knew how to bandage a wound with gauze. However, in order to not disturb the Little Fox while she treated Giles, they didn¡¯t speak aloud andmunicated with each other using spiritual power instead. The method of ¡®spiritualmunication¡¯ was not only used in themunication between Beast Tamers and spirit beasts, but it could also be used for spirit beasts tomunicate with each other. Otherwise, how could they understand so many different spirit beastnguages simultaneously at such a young age? The spirit beast section in the courtyard fell into a temporary silence after the Little Fox started the treatment. Time ticked by, and the breeze blew slowly across the dry and yellow grasnd. The Little Fox¡¯s tail suddenly shook. The spirit beast cubs surrounding it were instantly shocked and looked at the Little Fox nervously. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. I¡¯m already done with the bandaging. All that¡¯s left is for you to cut the gauze.¡± The Little Fox held up a piece of the gauze and signalled for the Little Golden Eagle to use its sharp ws to cut the gauze. ¡°Oh, alright!¡± The Little Golden Eagle was still in a daze when it saw the gauze that the little fox handed to it. When it came to its senses, it reached out with trembling ws to cut the bandage. ¡°He mainly fainted because he lost too much blood within a short period of time.¡± After the treatment ended, the little fox turned around and rted Giles¡¯ current condition to the spirit beast cubs. With the Little Fox¡¯s skillful bandaging, the wounds on Giles¡¯ left arm were wrapped in gauze. Furthermore, his chest was no longer heaving up and down violently like it was ying an ordion. ¡°My treatment can only help him to stop his bleeding from the inside and let him heal slowly, but the external wounds won¡¯t close up that quickly, that¡¯s why I need gauze.¡± Hearing what the Little Fox said, the Little Golden Eagle and the spirit beast cubs finally heaved a sigh of relief. Giles, who was lying on the ground, frowned slightly. Chapter 64 - I Am Not a Qualified Beast Tamer

Chapter 64: I Am Not a Qualified Beast Tamer

After Giles fell unconscious, he felt like his body was floating. The events that he had experienced recently kept shing past his eyes. He was surprised when he heard Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, instructing him to manage the gym on her behalf. When he returned to the spirit beast section and saw the spirit beast cubs making a din, he made the first attempt to tell them a story. He was extremely shocked when he contracted a spirit beast who had attained the Gold rank after listening to the story. *He was excited when he realized that the story he told could allow the spirit beast cubs to grow faster and learn skills. After defeating the Beast Tamer who came to the gym to challenge him, he was thrilled when he realized that he was no ordinary person. In the cave in Grant Forest, he was furious at the deranged Beast Blood Sect. He was exhrated when he won the championship of the Gym Tournament despite not being thought highly of by everyone. As well as¡­ Not long ago in the battle at the blood pool, he was powerless against the Mythic-rank Netherworld Flood Dragon. When he saw his spirit beasts being severely injured by the Netherworld Flood Dragon to save him, Giles could not help but clench his fists. At the end of the day, it was because he was too weak. Unlike the Legend-rank Beast Tamer, Gym Leader Cami, he did not have the strength to fight against the Netherworld Flood Dragon head on. Beast Tamers and spirit beasts should be helping each other and working together. I was too reliant on spirit beasts previously. After seeing the scenes that kept shing across his eyes, Giles, who hade to a realization, came to this conclusion. For the past twenty odd years, he had always thought that he might remain at the Bronze-rank and just be mediocre in his whole life. Therefore, ever since he won the championship in the Gym Tournament and obtained the recognition of the Beast Tamer Association to be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, he had begun to be arrogant and conceited. However, he had overlooked an extremely important point. That was, the reason why he could exceed everyone¡¯s expectations and win the championship of the Gym Tournament was entirely because the spirit beasts that he used to participate in the tournament were powerful and had special skills. Therefore, in the previous battles, even if he had never stategised any battle tactics for the spirit beasts in advance, nor had he taught the spirit beasts anybat techniques, he could still rely on his randommands and the spirit beasts¡¯ powerful abilities to win by taking his opponents by surprise. However, this was something that no qualified Beast Tamer dared to imagine. Regardless of whether it was in daily life or duringpetitive battles, if Beast Tamers were to let their spirit beast develop on their own without providing suitable advice and helping in the training of their spirit beasts, how could they still be considered Beast Tamers? They would just be the breeder of spirit beasts! My powerful spiritual power is indeed different from that of ordinary people. It¡¯s so strong that it can even allow me to speed up the growth and assimtion of skills of spirit beast cubs by telling them stories. But I¡¯m determined to be the world¡¯s number one Beast Tamer! Not the world¡¯s number one Storyteller! And definitely not the world¡¯s number one Breeder!¡± After Giles made this decision in his heart, he recalled the battle in the blood pool not long ago. That battle made him realize the huge gap between him, who was an acting Gym Leader, and the genuine gym leader, Cami. Under normal circumstances, after a Beast Tamer and the spirit beast he contracted advanced from Bronze-rank to Gold-rank, not only would his spiritual power continuously increase, but his physique would also strengthen ordingly. When he advanced from the Gold rank to the Epic rank with the spirit beast he contracted, his physique would also be strong enough to support him in using his spiritual power to mobilize his spiritual energy and he would not be harmed by the spiritual energy during the process. Therefore, whether or not a Beast Tamer could mobilize spiritual energy was also the standard to determine if they had entered the Epic rank. However, because Giles¡¯ own spiritual power was too powerful, he had skipped the process of the Beast Tamer¡¯s ¡°spiritual power and physical fitness increasing together¡± right from the start. In addition, he had never participated in a battle before, so he was not the only one who did not realise this. Everyone who thought that he was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer did not notice this as well. The Epic-rank Beast Tamer badge that was certified by the Beast Tamer Association was in fact more like a test of the abilities of his spirit beasts. However, if he only treated spirit beasts as tools to obtain his badges for the tournament, then how was he different from the members of the Beast Blood Sect? I¡¯m still too weak! I have to think of a way to improve my physique! Only by learning how to mobilize spiritual energy and bing an Epic-rank Beast Tamer can I strive towards my goal. Moreover, in the future, I want to use all the beast-taming techniques that I¡¯ve learned in Starlux Gym on my spirit beasts. I can¡¯t just rely on telling stories to speed up the growth of spirit beasts and their assimtion of skills! Telling stories? Little Golden Eagle! Recalling that the Little Golden Eagle had lost control of its evolution and had attracted a terrifying ¡®spiritual storm¡¯ after he had finished telling it the story, Giles, who was lying on the ground with his brows furrowed, suddenly woke up. Looking at the sun prating through the dome of the greenhouse in the spirit-beast section, Giles stretched out his right hand to block out the dazzling sunlight as he held his aching forehead. ¡°Sss! Was it a dream?¡± Feeling the waves of paining from his left arm, Giles realized that the scenes he had just recalled were just illusions or dreams that he had developed after suffering the intense pain. ¡°Eh? Who found the gauze and bandaged my left arm?¡± Giles put down his right hand and propped himself up. He looked at his bandaged left arm in confusion. All of a sudden, he realized that his group of spirit beast cubs had formed a circle around him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone. I¡¯m fine.¡± Seeing the spirit beast cubs looking at him worriedly, Giles waved his hand at them, suggesting that they didn¡¯t have to worry. Then, Giles realized that among these spirit beast cubs, there was a bird-type spirit beast that was muchrger than the other cubs, which appeared especially prominent. Standing on its two feet, its golden feathers reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight. Furthermore, its four eagle ws were glimmering with a sharp and cold glow. Although the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s appearance had changed drastically from before, Giles had still exchanged nces with the Little Golden Eagle before he lost consciousness and fainted. Furthermore, through the spiritual connection from the contract between them, Giles verified that the bird-type spirit beast in front of him, which looked like a human, was the Little Golden Eagle. ¡°Little Golden Eagle, you¡¯ve sessfully evolved?¡± Looking at the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s current state, Giles subconsciously raised this question. However, Giles¡¯ question caused the spirit beast cubs to worry once again. This was because they had discovered a situation a while back. Not only did the evolved Little Golden Eagle not emit as much power as the Gold-rank spirit beasts they had seen before, but it also seemed to be unable to maintain its bnce when it was flying or running. The Little Golden Eagle was originally happy to see Giles wake up, but after hearing Giles¡¯ question, its eyes darkened and it shook its head dejectedly. ¡°No, I¡¯ve failed in my evolution!¡± Chapter 65 - Dont Call Me Master

Chapter 65: Don¡¯t Call Me Master

¡°You failed in your evolution?¡± Giles repeated the words of the Little Golden Eagle. Then, he used his right hand to prop himself up and walked towards the Little Golden Eagle. When he reached the Little Golden Eagle, Giles stretched out his right hand. The Little Golden Eagle watched as Giles walked over to it with a serious expression. He thought that Giles had been angered because it had swallowed the beast core without permission, thereby losing control of its spiritual energy to lose control and ultimately failing in its evolution. Master, are you going to punish me? As it faced Giles, who was standing in front of it, the Little Golden Eagle closed its eyes in fear. One has to be punished for making a mistake. This was the conclusion that the spirit beast cubs had reached after Gym Leader Alice taught them a lesson when they had been mischievous previously. Therefore, even though it had the strength of a spirit beast that was close to the Gold rank, the Little Golden Eagle did not intend to fight back after realizing its mistake. However, to its surprise, it was not Giles¡¯ punishment thatnded on its body. The Little Golden Eagle, who had its eyes closed, felt a hand gently stroking its head. The Little Golden Eagle tried to open its eyes slightly, but realized that Giles had squatted down at some point and was observing it attentively. ¡°Oh? Are you ufortable with my touch?¡± Seeing the Little Golden Eagle suddenly open its eyes, Giles, who had snapped out of it, retracted his right hand and looked at the Little Golden Eagle in confusion. ¡°No, no! It¡¯s veryfortable!¡± The Little Golden Eagle hurriedly shook its head when it heard this. Moreover, as if trying to prove that it wasfortable being touched, the Little Golden Eagle even lowered its head and rubbed it against Giles¡¯ right hand, suggesting for him to continue petting its head. ¡°That¡¯s good then. I remember that you like having your feathers stroked.¡± Giles stroked the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s head as he continued to observe its feathers. ¡°From the luster and sensation of your feathers, I can tell that although your evolution has failed, your body is still very healthy.¡± After confirming that the Little Golden Eagle was fine, Giles heaved a sigh of relief. The intelligence of the Little Golden Eagle and the other spirit beast cubs was actually simr to that of human children. Therefore, in Giles¡¯ view, it was understandable for them to make some mistakes from time to time. However, if he did not discipline them properly, as a Beast Tamer, he would regret it if such a thing happened again. ¡°I¡¯m d you¡¯re okay. Everything that happened today was because of me.¡± Giles gently patted the Little Golden Eagle on the head, letting it know not to be afraid because of this. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, leave the rest to me. There will definitely be a solution.¡± When the Little Golden Eagle heard Giles say this, it was so touched that it rubbed its head against Giles¡¯ right hand. ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± However, when Giles heard the Little Golden Eagle call out to him, his expression turned serious. Giles said solemnly to the Little Golden Eagle and the spirit beast cubs, ¡°Everyone, you don¡¯t have to call me Master in the future. We aren¡¯t master and servant. In my opinion, we are friends who help each other.¡± Giles¡¯ words caused an uproar among the group of spirit beast cubs. This was because to their knowledge, the growth of a spirit beast wasrgely determined by its Beast Tamer. Just the fact that Beast Tamers could provide afortable and safe environment for spirit beasts to grow was enough for spirit beasts to regard Beast Tamers as their Masters. Although most Beast Tamers did not treat their spirit beasts as their ves, it was very rare for them to speak of such a serious matter like Giles. On the other hand, the Little Fox had a carefree attitude towards Giles¡¯ words and it wasn¡¯t as flustered as the other spirit beast cubs. After personally witnessing Giles risk his life to rescue the Little Golden Eagle from the ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯, the Little Fox realized that Giles was different from ordinary Beast Tamers. Hence, it was within the Little Fox¡¯s expectations that he would say something like this. However, she was still a little angry at Giles for getting up to move around. ¡°Regardless of whether it¡¯s Master or friend, if you cause your wound to bleed again next time, I won¡¯t help you heal it.¡± With the Little Fox¡¯s reminder, the Little Golden Eagle and the spirit beast cubs snapped out of their daze. Only then did they realize that after Giles got up and moved around, there was a trace of blood on the bandage on his left arm. Although the Little Fox¡¯s words were filled with usation, she still waved her soft tail and signaled for Giles to sit down. Then, she opened her slightly narrowed eyes while facing Giles¡¯ left arm, and the peach blossom in her eyes glowed. However, this time, the pale pink spiritual energy on Giles¡¯ left arm was much weaker. Sitting cross-legged, Giles closed his eyes and quietly felt the numbnessing from the wound on his left arm. Through his spiritual power, he discovered that the restless spiritual energy that had surged into his body, under the guidance of the little fox¡¯s pale pink spirit energy, no longer damaged his blood vessels, bones, and muscles. Furthermore, his spiritual power seemed to have established a special connection with that spiritual energy. That spiritual energy actually began to heal his wounds together with the Little Fox¡¯s spiritual energy. However, Giles vaguely realized that this spiritual energy was very different from the Little Fox¡¯s spiritual energy. Instead of healing his wounds, it was actually strengthening his body. ¡°Could this be the method Beast Tamers, after increasing their spiritual power, use to absorb spiritual energy to strengthen their bodies ?¡± After realising that there was some kind of special change within his body, Giles suddenly thought of how Beast Tamers could absorb spiritual energy to strengthen their physique at the Bronze-rank and Gold-rank stages. Giles slowly opened his eyes and was about to prop his body up with his right hand to open theputer in the gym to look up the relevant information on ¡®failure of a spirit beast¡¯s evolution¡¯ and the ¡®strengthening of Beast Tamers¡¯ body¡¯. However, he didn¡¯t expect the Little Fox to jump into hisp when it saw that he was about to get up. Giles¡¯s legs felt heavy. Then, he looked down and saw that the Little Fox was healing him. He thanked her subconsciously. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± ¡°Shh!¡± Before Giles could finish, the Little Fox, who was lying on Giles¡¯p, raised one of its front paws to cover Giles¡¯ mouth, signalling for him to remain silent. ¡°I¡¯m exhausted today. Don¡¯t disturb my rest.¡± After saying that, the Little Fox shifted into a morefortable position on Giles¡¯p and narrowed its eyes. Seeing this, Giles understood what the Little Fox meant. The reason why the wound on his left arm could stop bleeding and heal so quickly was thanks to the Little Fox¡¯s help. Furthermore, she did not want him to get up and move around like before right after his wound had just healed. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the wound split open again. Hah¡­ In that case, I¡¯ll sit here for a while¡­ Giles sighed in his heart. Reaching out his right hand to touch the Little Fox on hisp, he closed his eyes and hummed a luby. When she felt Giles¡¯ touch, the Little Fox that was still sleeping trembled slightly. However, after hearing Giles hum the luby, her body quickly rxed. A gentle breeze slowly blew across the courtyard. As the spirit beast cubs listened to Giles hum a tune they had never heard before, they felt an unprecedented fatigue. After experiencing several intense and exciting situations that day, they quickly fell asleep after rxing. ¡°Hmm? Aren¡¯t you going to rest for a while?¡± After Giles finished humming the luby, he slowly opened his eyes and realized that the Little Golden Eagle standing by the side didn¡¯t seem to want to rest. ¡°Mast¡­ Giles, I seem to have a lot of spiritual energy from the four beast cores left in my body.¡± Hearing the Little Golden Eagle stammer about the situation inside its body, Giles¡¯ expression turned serious. ¡°Tell me in more detail.¡± Chapter 66 - The Reminder from Madam Janice

Chapter 66: The Reminder from Madam Janice

Under Giles¡¯ questioning and guidance, the little golden eagle roughly described the scene it saw after listening to the story. ¡°¡­In the end, I even felt that I had be the Senior Garuda in the story, and a memory suddenly appeared in my mind. It was through that memory that I assimted Senior Garuda¡¯s ¡®Devour¡¯ Skill.¡± After hearing the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s description, Giles fell into deep thought. Through the content described by the Little Golden Eagle coupled with the situations during the evolution of the few spirit beasts after they had heard a story, Giles felt that the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s sudden swallowing of the beast core was aplete ident. That might not even have been its own idea. This was because after the few spirit beasts heard the story, they felt that they hadpletely integrated into the world in the story. Furthermore, without any exception, they had all subconsciously used the skills they had learned in the story. Clearly, the Little Golden Eagle, who had learned its innate skill, ¡®Devour¡¯, had also encountered this situation. Therefore, it suddenly swallowed the beast cores and began to absorb spiritual energy. In the end, its body could not withstand such arge amount of spiritual energy, resulting in its evolution getting out of control. Furthermore, because Giles had interfered in the evolution process midway by forcefully helping the Little Golden Eagle, which had lost control of its evolution, to stop absorbing spiritual energy. As a result, the Little Golden Eagle did notpletely absorb the four beast cores in its body. This was why the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s evolution had failed. ¡°Giles, although I didn¡¯t break through to the Gold rank, for me to grow to my current size and even have these two sharp ws, it shouldn¡¯t be considered aplete evolution failure.¡± Seeing Giles remain silent, the Little Golden Eagle did not want Giles to worry about it. As if trying to prove its point, it stretched out its two additional sharp ws that were on both sides of its chest. However, its two sharp yet weak ws did not seem convincing. However, the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s words reminded Giles. Based on the conclusions he had derived from reading up on information and observing the spirit beasts in the past, under normal circumstances, the bodies of spirit beasts would not undergo any changes after their evolution failed. Furthermore, they might even be injured because of the failed evolution. This was also the reason why Giles had checked on the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s body condition immediately after hearing that its evolution had failed. However, to his surprise, not only had the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s body undergone an obvious change, but it also did not suffer any injuries from this incident. Giles kept trying to recall if there was a situation simr to that of the Little Golden Eagle, before finallying to a conclusion. ¡°Your line of thought is correct. Your current situation is more like an iplete evolution than a failure. The reason is probably because you haven¡¯tpletely absorbed the spiritual energy of the four beast cores in your body.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ conclusion, the Little Golden Eagle looked troubled. After absorbing the spiritual energy that caused its evolution to go out of control, it did not even dare to mobilize the spiritual energy in its body now. However, ording to Giles¡¯ conclusion, if it did not absorb the spiritual energy in the four beast cores, it would not be able topletely evolve to the Gold rank. Must I remain at Silver rank forever? Giles, who was sitting at the side, could tell that the Little Golden Eagle was worried. He reached out his right hand and stroked its head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As far as I remember, your situation shouldn¡¯t be the first case.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll look through the informationter and I¡¯ll be able to find a solution soon.¡± Feeling Giles¡¯ touch, the Little Golden Eagle gradually calmed down. After experiencing the moment of life and death just now, the Little Golden Eagle was filled with confidence in Giles. Since Giles said that he could find a way to solve this problem, there will definitely be a way! Seeing that the Little Golden Eagle had finally rxed and closed its eyes to rest, Giles heaved a sigh of relief. However, based on the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s description of its situation after listening to the story, Giles could not help but reevaluate the effects of the stories he had told to the spirit beasts. Based on his spection that was derived from consolidating the previous evolutions of the other spirit beasts, his powerful innate spiritual power was the main reason why spirit beasts could grow faster and assimte the skills in the story. The facts had proven that it was indeed the case. However, this was only a change that urred after the spirit beast finished listening to the story, and not a feeling that arose from listening to the story. Based on the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s description, when it was listening to the story, the scenes in the story seemed to form in its mind. In the end, it even felt like it had be the Garuda in the story. A memory suddenly appeared in its mind, allowing it to assimte Garuda¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Devour¡¯. Looks like under the influence of my spiritual power, the entire story-telling process is like a movie to the spirit beasts. Furthermore, their souls can even bepletely immersed in the world of stories. By acting as the main character of the story, they can elerate their growth and assimtion of skills. After realizing this, Giles suddenly thought of Little Fox¡¯s mother, Madam Janice. After the Blood Pool Battle ended, Madam Janice had reminded him to pay attention to the influence of ¡®spiritual energy¡¯ and ¡®spirituality¡¯ on the spirit beasts. Spiritual energy was a special energy that provided the creatures of this world with growth and survival. Hundreds of years after this world experienced the resurgence of spiritual energy, all the known species of humans hadpletely adapted to the existence of spiritual energy. Over the years, even humans, who seemed unaffected by the spiritual energy at the beginning, had subtly changed after contracting with their spirit beasts. Although they did not look much differentpared to the human beings in the past, their body had already developed a reliance on spiritual energy. In other words, spiritual energy was like oxygen in another form to humans. If a person stayed in a ce with weak spiritual energy for too long, the various functions of their body would begin to decline, and their mental state would be listless. Those who lived in areas with abundant spiritual energy for a long time were full of energy and great fitness every day. After so many years, the influence of spiritual energy on humans had be extremely outrageous. The ferocious beasts and spirit beasts that had been evolving since the awakening of their spiritual energy had a higher demand for spiritual energy than humans. By absorbing spiritual energy, it could shorten the growth period of ferocious beasts and spirit beasts. At the same time, it could strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespans. They could even learn to control and use this special spiritual energy. Just like the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s situation, it elerated its growth by absorbing the spiritual energy inside the beast cores. However, because the ¡®Devour¡¯ skill it activated had absorbed a tremendous amount of spiritual energy that its body could not withstand, it resulted in the evolution getting out of hand. As for why the Little Golden Eagle could assimte Garuda¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Devour¡¯, that was rted to the ¡®spirituality¡¯ that Madam Janice mentioned. Chapter 67 - Taking a Photo to Record This Heartwarming Scene

Chapter 67: Taking a Photo to Record This Heartwarming Scene

Spirituality was abination of ¡®intelligence¡¯ and ¡®assimtion¡¯. The higher the spirituality of the spirit beast, the stronger its learning ability would be. Furthermore, spirituality was also a major standard that drew the line between spirit beasts and ferocious beasts. The improvement of learning ability for ferocious beasts was mostly reliant on their survival instincts, which were made up of brutality and the survival of the fittest. In other words, they had an unruly ¡®ferocious nature¡¯. Rational spirit beasts couldmunicate telepathically with humans, but crazy ferocious beasts were irrational most of the time. However, be it spirituality or ferociousness, they were both embodiments of learning abilities. Through their unique learning methods, spirit beasts and ferocious beasts could continuously assimte some innate skills that uniquely belonged to their own race. Furthermore, they could also learn somemon skills through getting trained by Beast Tamers as well as their usual battles. Based on what the Little Golden Eagle had described, coupled with the ident that had just happened, Giles made a bold spection. Under the influence of his spiritual power, ¡®telling stories to spirit beast cubs¡¯ became a special method to increase their ¡®spirituality¡¯. After a spirit beast cub finished listening to the story, its spirituality would rapidly increase, far exceeding that of ordinary spirit beasts. That was why they were immersed in the story he told them, as they were ying the main character in that world and assimting the skill. In addition, there was an abundant supply of spiritual energy in the warm room of the spirit-beast section, which could continuously transmit spiritual energy for the growth and evolution of the spirit beasts. Under these circumstances, the spirit beast cubs that had heard the story would not stop growing and evolving after absorbing spiritual energy. The main reason why the Little Golden Eagle had lost control of its evolution this time was because it had activated the ¡®Devour¡¯ skill and swallowed four additional beast cores. This resulted in the spiritual energy turbulence in its body. This was because even if it did not use its skills to swallow the beast cores, the spiritual energy provided within the spirit beast section was sufficient. At that thought, Giles recalled something Madam Janice had told him at the blood pool. Madam Janice noticed that the bodies of Giles¡¯ spirit beasts, which had fallen into a deep slumber, contained a tremendous amount of spiritual energy. This might be one of the reasons why theirbat strength far exceeded other spirit beasts of the same rank. By soaking in the blood pool and sleeping, not only could they strengthen their bodies, but they could also slowly digest and absorb the immense spiritual energy in their bodies. Coupled with the spection he had just made and the viewpoint proposed by Madam Janice, Giles spected that the previous spirit beasts must have absorbed too much spiritual energy when they evolved after listening to the stories, resulting in a situation simr to ¡®overnutrition¡¯ urring in their bodies. Moreover, they did not have the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s innate skill ¡®Devour¡¯, which could quickly digest and absorb spiritual energy. Therefore, even after evolving to the Gold rank, there was still a huge amount of spiritual energy left in their bodies that had not beenpletely absorbed. As such, theirbat strength far exceeded that of spirit beasts of the same rank during battle. However, just as excess nutrition would bring some harm to the body of a human, the prolonged storage of such arge amount of spiritual energy in the body of a spirit beast would also be apanied by a certain degree of risk. There might even be some side effects, such as high spirits, violent temperaments, and so on. Fortunately, the appearance of the blood pool and Madam Janice helped them resolve the hidden danger in their bodies. With the help of the blood pool to absorb the remaining spiritual energy in their bodies, coupled with the fact that Madam Janice¡¯s main body was a Legend-rank spirit beast, only then did Giles feel assured leaving his spirit beasts in the blood pool and wait for their transformation. Madam Janice¡¯s words also reminded Giles that his method of ¡®telling stories to elerate the growth of spirit beasts¡¯ actually had some hidden dangers and even had quite a few side effects. Previously, when the few spirit beasts were absorbing the spiritual energy, he did not intervene and did not restrain them from absorbing the spiritual energy. As a result, they ended up in a situation simr to ¡®overnutrition¡¯. This was just like when humans replenish arge amount of fat, vitamins, and proteins through overeating within a short period of time, but they had not undergone arge amount of training to promote digestion and absorption in the stomach. In this way, although their bodies had berger and their weight had increased, they were still just fat people. This method of ¡®allowing the spirit beast to absorb spiritual energy continuously after listening to the story so as to elerate its growth¡¯ was not only detrimental to the spirit beast itself, but also did not conform to the Beast Tamer guidelines. What Beast Tamers needed to do was to teach spirit beastsbat skills and let them learn somemon skills during their growth process together with their spirit beasts. It was not enough to just raise their spirit beasts. This was just like how parents had to let their children learn and guide them to discover their hobbies and specialties during their growth. They would not just release their children after their children had eaten their fill and grown up. After noticing this, Giles scanned the sleeping spirit beast cubs around him and made a decision. ¡°Looks like whether it¡¯s for them or for myself, I have to control my spiritual power when I tell stories in the future.¡± ¡°Otherwise, even if situations like that of the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s special situation today, did not ur again, there would still be a hidden danger of absorbing and penting up a lot of spiritual energy like the other spirit beasts.¡± ¡°But looking at the effect of the luby I hummed just now, the impact of my powerful spiritual power doesn¡¯t seem to be limited to telling stories.¡± When Giles was humming the luby earlier, he had deliberately tried to control his spiritual power, only letting out a trace of it to see how it worked. The oue was as he had expected. Under the influence of that trace of spiritual power, the spirit beast cubs who heard the luby quickly rxed their tense nerves and entered a deep sleep. ¡°Since I can freely control that immense spiritual power, I¡¯ll have to try to control the effects of my spiritual power on them the next time I tell a story.¡± Feeling the gentle breeze blowing into the courtyard of the spirit beast section, Giles looked at the sleeping spirit beast cubs beside him and suddenly felt that this scene was very warm and adorable. He then took out his camera, which he had not used in a while, from his spatial wristband. After making sure that the camera lens and the shutter were okay, Giles looked at the nearly used-up film in his camera, Seeming to remember something, he suddenly sighed. ¡°Hai, I haven¡¯t taken pictures of them in a long time. I wonder if they still remember this.¡± Before Giles reced Alice to be in charge of Starlux Gym, he, who was responsible for taking care of the spirit beast cubs, would take pictures of them every day to record their daily lives and growth. The spirit beast cubs also enjoyed this. Sometimes, they would even criticise Giles for not taking good photos of them when he took shots of them, and would then get Giles to take a few more. However, recently, not only Giles, but even the spirit beast cubs seemed to have forgotten about this matter. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll just treat this as a long-awaited surprise.¡± Thinking of this, Giles tried his best to straighten his right hand and raised the camera high up. He aimed it at himself and the spirit beast cubs surrounding him before pressing the shutter of the camera. Click! The heartwarming scene beside Giles was frozen in the photo that the camera slowly printed out. Chapter 68 - The Spirit Beast Cubs who are Prepared to Give Up on Taking the Shortcut

Chapter 68: The Spirit Beast Cubs who are Prepared to Give Up on Taking the Shortcut

Seeming to have heard the sound of Giles using the camera to take pictures, the spirit beast cubs that were snoring around Giles slowly opened their squinted eyes. They were all yawning and stretching in their sleep. Aftering to their senses, they suddenly felt that the sound that had awakened them from their slumber was somewhat familiar. They raised their heads in confusion and began to search for the source of the voice. ¡°Ah! Giles helped us take pictures again!¡± Seeing Giles take the photo from the camera, a spirit beast cub let out a cry of surprise. The spirit beast cubs that had yet to wake up were originally rubbing their eyes. When they heard this cry, they immediately became energetic. Excited, they all gathered around Giles and peered into his arms, all of them wanting to see what Giles had taken with the camera. ¡°Make way! Don¡¯t push! Save me a spot!¡± ¡°What did Giles shoot this time? Did anyone see it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m guessing someone had a strange sleeping posture and was photographed by Giles!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing how the spirit beast cubs had such a huge reaction to the photo taking, Giles couldn¡¯t help butugh at himself. Looks like they didn¡¯t forget about this matter. They¡¯re still passionate about taking photos. I¡¯m the only one who¡¯s been blinded by glory and lost my way. After realizing this, Giles looked at the group of lively spirit beast cubs in front of him and suddenly felt a heavy burden lifted off his chest. Although he had never felt like he was carrying any burden, when he recalled what he had been doing recently, he knew it was actually because of hispetitiveness or rather vanity. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because I was called trash for more than ten years, that¡¯s why I was so eager to prove my strength to everyone.¡± Looking down at the picture of himself in his hand, Giles suddenly realized that the ¡°revenge¡± action he had subconsciously taken some time ago was so childish andughable. He was like a child who had been neglected for a long time rushing to show off his new toy to other children, as if thinking that they would regret it and that someone would take the initiative to y with him in the future. Hah, it seems like my heart is still not strong enough. Giles sighed to himself, then shook his head in self-deprecation. However, when he saw the spirit beast cubs surrounding him, Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel gratified. ¡°Fortunately, I still have them¡­¡± Before Giles could say anything, the photo in his hand was blown up by a gust of wind. When the spirit beast cubs squeezing towards Giles saw this, they all looked up. ¡°Ah! I saw it clearly! All of us seem to have been photographed!¡± ¡°I saw it too! Haha! You slept while hugging your tail again!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with hugging my tail while sleeping? Not only do you snore in your sleep, but your nose is also covered in mucus!¡± ¡°¡­¡± When the spirit beast cubs looked up, they also jumped a few times, wanting to try and grab the photo from the air. However, because they were small and could not jump, they could not reach the photo that had been blown into the air. Giles had been about to stand up too, but when he realized that the little fox was still sleeping in hisp, he sat there and watched the picture being blown up by the wind. Whoosh! Giles suddenly felt a gust of wind beside him, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously. On a closer look, it turned out that the Little Golden Eagle had pped its wings and brought down the picture floating in the air. ¡°Not bad, Little Golden Eagle. Looks like your pre-evolution explosive strength still remains.¡± After taking the photo from the Little Golden Eagle, Giles stroked its head in approval and smoothed down the feathers that were slightly raised on its head. ¡°Alright, alright. Everyone, don¡¯t be anxious.¡± To prevent the situation just now from happening again, Giles kept the photo in his spatial wristband. Then, he waved his right hand at the spirit beast cubs around him, indicating for them to not be anxious. ¡°I¡¯ll put this photo in our album. When the timees, everyone can just look through the album like before.¡± Seeing that it had been a long time since Giles had mentioned looking through the album, the excited spirit beast cubs quickly became obedient. Seeing that the spirit beast cubs had quietened down and stopped making a din, Giles scanned the surroundings. He realized that apart from the Little Fox changing its position to sleep on his legs, the other spirit beast cubs had already woken up. In order to not disturb the Little Fox that was healing him, Gilesmunicated telepathically with the dozen or so spirit beast cubs beside him. ¡°Since everyone has woken up, I¡¯ll apologize for the ident today.¡± After using spiritualmunication to apologize to the spirit beast cubs, Giles, who was sitting on the spot, bowed slightly to the spirit beast cubs. The spirit beast cubs that had just sensed Giles¡¯ spiritual connection were originally looking at Giles excitedly, but when they saw Giles suddenly bow and apologize, their eyes immediately widened. Just as the spirit beast cubs were panicking and puzzled by Giles¡¯ actions, Giles, who slowly raised his head, looked at the Little Golden Eagle standing by the side and began to exin the situation to the spirit beast cubs. ¡°The main reason why the Little Golden Eagle lost control during his evolution today is because of me. I promise that when I tell stories in the future, I will control the spiritual power I release to prevent any idents like today¡¯s from happening again.¡± After hearing Giles make the promise in a solemn manner, the spirit beast cubs¡¯ gazes couldn¡¯t help but shift to the Little Golden Eagle. Recalling the ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯ that the Little Golden Eagle had triggered when it lost control of its evolution, they still felt a lingering fear. At that moment, there were even a few spirit beast cubs that took the initiative to go over to Giles and rubbed against his right hand. ¡°Giles, we¡¯re never going to pester you to tell us stories again.¡± After sensing the message from these spirit beast cubs, the other spirit beast cubs struggled internally for a while before nodding at Giles. The main reason why they had pestered Giles to tell them stories was because they realized that they had vaguely sensed a slight improvement in themselves after listening to the stories. However, they could not tell what exactly had improved. Perhaps it was that their emotions had be richer, or perhaps their minds had be smarter. However, the spirit beast cubs with the most obvious enhancement effects would begin to absorb spiritual energy andplete their evolution after listening to the story. Without exception, this was the same for the Little Golden Eagle. However, the unexpected situation that the Little Golden Eagle had caused also sounded an rm bell for the spirit beast cubs. This method of elerating one¡¯s growth by listening to stories seemed to be apanied by some risks. If they were not careful, they might end up in a simr predicament as the Little Golden Eagle. Therefore, for the sake of their safety and that of Giles¡¯, the spirit beast cubs all gave up on taking the shortcut. ¡°Okay, that¡¯s alright, because I originally nned to teach all of you somebat-rted knowledge and skills.¡± Giles looked at the spirit beast cubs, who had pestered him everyday to tell them stories, all expressing that they would not listen to stories anymore because of the ident that had just happened. He understood that they were still worried about the ident that had just happened and respected their thoughts, but he also proposed apromise to the spirit beast cubs. ¡°But in the future, if any of you want to listen to stories, you cane to the small wooden house in the spirit-beast section to look for me.¡± Chapter 69 - Why Didnt Anyone Come to the Gym Today?

Chapter 69: Why Didn¡¯t Anyone Come to the Gym Today?

After receiving the message Giles sent with his spiritual power, the spirit beast cubs all nodded. However, after today¡¯s incident, they wouldn¡¯t take the initiative to look for Giles to listen to stories for the time being, at least. Seeing the spirit beast cubs nod in agreement, Giles felt relieved. Just as he was about to get up and move around, he lowered his head and stroked the Little Fox on hisp. He couldn¡¯t help but feel curious about the Little Fox. Since the Little Fox could heal him just now, his left arm must have been bandaged by her. I wonder how she did it. Are her tiny paws that agile? ¡°Giles, Little Fox is really amazing! She was the one who asked me to find the bandage in your room. She was also the one who helped you bandage your wound,¡± the Little Golden Eagle eximed when it saw Giles looking down at the Little Fox. ¡°That¡¯s right. All of us fell unconscious previously, but the Little Fox was the first to wake up. She witnessed the entire process of you saving the Little Golden Eagle.¡± ¡°Yes, we even misunderstood the Little Golden Eagle after we woke up. It was all thanks to Little Fox¡¯s help that we cleared up the misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Giles, Giles, the bandaging method that Little Fox used is identical to the one you usually use. When did you teach her?¡± ¡°¡­¡± When the Little Golden Eagle mentioned that the Little Fox had helped Giles bandage his left arm, it caused amotion among the spirit beast cubs around them. After they snapped out of it, they realized how calm and collected the Little Fox was. As the spirit beast cubs fought to be the first to describe what had happened, Giles also briefly organized his thoughts. He more or less understood what had happened while he was unconscious. When Giles looked at the Little Fox on hisp, his eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise. It had fallen unconscious like the other spirit beast cubs, yet the Little Fox could regain consciousness before the other spirit beast cubs. Giles was not surprised about that. After all, the Little Fox¡¯s mother, Madam Janice, was a Legend-rank spirit beast that could already transform into a human form. As the descendant of a Legend-rank spirit beast, although the Little Fox was still only a Bronze-rank spirit beast, her physique and strength should be far above this group of spirit beast cubs. However, what Giles did not expect was thatpared to the group of immature spirit beast cubs in front of him, the Little Fox seemed very mature. Based on the description of the spirit beast cubs, the Little Fox¡¯s calm and collected way of handling things waspletely different from her young cub appearance. ¡°But previously, I treated her and the other spirit beast cubs equally. Furthermore, I didn¡¯tmunicate with her mentally, so I really didn¡¯t have a chance to discover this.¡± Thinking of this, Giles, who felt a little ashamed, scratched his head awkwardly. Madam Janice had entrusted her daughter to him, but he had been treating the Little Fox as a pet all this while. ¡°I haven¡¯tmunicated spiritually with Little Fox recently. I wonder if she will mind.¡± Seeing that Giles was merely scratching his head and had no intention of continuingmunicating with them, the spirit beast cubs participating in the spiritualmunication gradually quietened down. A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard, and an emerald leafnded on Giles¡¯ shoulder. Then, it slowly slid onto the Little Fox¡¯s forehead. There was a short silence, until a familiar yet unexpected voice rang out in Giles¡¯ and the spirit beast cubs¡¯ minds. ¡°Oh? Why are you guys suddenly not chatting anymore?¡± When he heard Little Fox¡¯s voice in his mind, Giles, who was scratching his head, subconsciously looked towards hisp. He saw the Little Fox on hisp pulling the leaf off her forehead. Then, shenguidly turned around and narrowed her eyes and met his eyes. ¡°Uh, when did you wake up?¡± Hearing Giles¡¯ awkward question, the Little Fox on hisp stretched its limbs. ¡°Probably while you were taking pictures.¡± ¡°In that case, did you receive everything wemunicated about?¡± ¡°Pretty much.¡± Although the Little Fox had already woken up, she was still very happy that Giles was worried that he would disturb her rest and had specially used spiritualmunication tomunicate with the spirit beast cubs. In addition, the unexpected situation today had greatly changed her impression of Giles. At that moment, she already regarded Giles as a true friend. ¡°So you think it¡¯s strange that I know how to bandage a wound?¡± Seeing that the Little Fox had taken the initiative to ask this question, Giles didn¡¯t hesitate at all and nodded. ¡°Did you learn this Beast Tamer¡¯s basic bandaging method from Madam Janice?¡± The ¡®bandaging method¡¯ that the spirit beast cubs mentioned earlier was actually the basic bandaging method that Beast Tamers had to learn since they were young. When he learned that the Little Fox knew how to bandage wounds with gauze, Giles immediately thought of her mother, Madam Janice, who had already transformed into a human form. When the Little Fox heard Giles mention its mother, itmunicated with Giles telepathically. From her message, Giles learned that Madam Janice, who was a Legend-rank spirit beast that advocated peace, would often step forward to mediate the conflict between the ferocious beasts in the Solomon Mountain Range in order to maintain the bnce between the various races. If necessary, she would even save some of the ferocious beasts. After learning this, Giles couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°No wonder you could clear up the misunderstanding for the Little Golden Eagle so calmly and quickly. At the same time, you also treated the wound on my left arm.¡± ¡°Since you mentioned the injury on your left arm, I¡¯ll remind you again.¡± The Little Fox stretched out its little paw and pointed at Giles¡¯ bandaged left arm, as she told him the exact effects of the two healing skills she had activated previously. ¡°Previously, after I used ¡®Rapid Treatment¡¯ to stop the bleeding, I used ¡®Slow Healing¡¯ to guide the spiritual energy that entered your body so that it wouldn¡¯t damage your body any further.¡± ¡°But I can only use these treatment methods on you twice a day. If it exceeds two times, my spiritual energy might cause you harm.¡± ¡°Therefore, before youpletely absorb the tremendous spiritual energy in your body, it¡¯s best not to do any intense exercises, in case your wounds burst open and cause your spiritual energy to rampage.¡± In the face of the Little Fox¡¯s kind reminder, Giles nodded solemnly. After confirming with the Little Fox that the wound on his left arm had be smaller, Giles slowly got up and carried her and walked out from under the tree. ¡°Oh? Is it almost noon?¡± Giles was shocked to see that he only had a short shadow on the ground. ¡°In that case, there should be many Beast Tamers waiting outside the door for a long time!¡± ¡°I have to hurry and open the door of the gym!¡± Giles kept the Little Fox in his arms and the Little Golden Eagle into the space within his tattoos before quickly settling the other spirit beast cubs in various areas of the spirit beast section. However, when he rushed from the spirit-beast section to the reception area of the gym and opened the door, he found that there was no one outside. Giles couldn¡¯t help but frown and fall into deep thought. ¡°Why didn¡¯t anyonee to the gym today?¡± Chapter 70 - Starlux Gym Will Close From Today Onwards

Chapter 70: Starlux Gym Will Close From Today Onwards

Could it be that because I¡¯ve been away for some time, so no one hase to the gym to challenge me recently? Upon thinking of this, Giles subconsciously shook his head and immediately dismissed the thought that had just popped into his mind. It shouldn¡¯t be because of this reason. After all, when I was out recently, the gym was handed over to Mr. Gars from the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce to manage.¡± I only asked Mr Gars to manage the employees who are responsible for opening and cleaning the training areas of the gym every day because the number of Beast Tamers whoe to the gym every day to borrow the training ground is many times more than the number of Beast Tamers whoe to challenge the gym daily. Even if no one came to challenge the gym today, there should still be Beast Tamers whoe to borrow the training ground. As far as Giles knew, for Beast Tamers, apart from ¡°finding the Gym Leader to carry out the evaluation for spirit beasts¡± and ¡°obtaining the badge that allowed them to participate in the tournament by challenging the Gym Leader,¡± the most important use of the Beast-taming Gym was to provide training grounds for Beast Tamers and spirit beasts. This was because hundreds of years after the resurgence of spiritual energy, in order to withstand the impact of the beast tide that could break out at any moment, humans had builtyer afteryer of high walls outside the base city. However, not all Beast Tamers had the ability to bring their spirit beasts out of the base city to train in the wilderness. Almost 90% of Beast Tamers usually trained their spirit beasts in the base city. Since they were going to train their spirit beasts in the base city, the division of training grounds became a problem. There was limited space in the base city, and Beast Tamers¡¯ training of their spirit beasts would greatly affect the surrounding environment. Therefore, the trainee Beast Tamers who were still learning in the school basically used the training ground in the school. However, in society, there were countless cases of public training grounds being insufficient or upied. There were even groups that had formed cliques to upy training grounds. After the Beast Tamer Association intervened, the Beast Tamers who had originally fought over the public training grounds were eventually punished. After that, the Beast Tamer Association also guaranteed that in every municipal district in the base city, there would be at least arger public training ground that would be provided to Beast Tamers who lived in that area. This ¡°public training ground¡± was the predecessor of the gyms in all the base cities. The original gym leaders were actually the administrator sent by the Beast Tamer Association to each public training ground to maintain order. Therefore, the title of ¡°Gym Leader¡± was equivalent to the glory of being the strongest in the municipalities. They were used to intimidate and deal with groups that wanted to upy the public training ground using violence. ¡°Could it be that those Beast Tamers have waited until almost noontime, so they went to have lunch first?¡± Giles stepped out of the door and looked up at the blinding sun as he spected. ¡°At least, that should be the case for now. But as long as someonees, it¡¯ll be fine. At the very least, it won¡¯t be a case of zero ie for today.¡± Whether it was to borrow the training ground in the gym, letting the Gym Leader evaluate the ranks of the spirit beasts, or to obtain the badge by challenging the Gym Leader, all these events needed to be paid for. After all, the manpower and resources needed to manage such arge gym were not small expenses. ¡®Borrowing the training ground in the gym¡¯ was the main source of ie for the gym. This was because although there might not be someone challenging the Gym Leader or asking the Gym Leader to evaluate the rank of their spirit beasts on a daily basis, there would definitely be many peopleing to the gym to borrow the training ground every day. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we can just wait for them toe knocking as usual.¡± Although the reason for this spection was a little far-fetched, it allowed Giles put his doubts aside for the time being. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he turned around and headed back to the reception area. He then switched on theputer at the front desk. ¡°Let¡¯s see if anyone made an appointment toe to Starlux Gym for the evaluation or to challenge the Gym Leader, during the period I was gone.¡± Normally speaking, after finding the Gym Leader toplete the evaluation for a spirit beast, it would usually be apanied by a challenge against the Gym Leader in order to obtain the badge. This was because after the ranking evaluation waspleted, the challenger and the Gym Leader would know the rank of the spirit beast. The Gym Leader would also take out spirit beasts of simr ranks to ept the challenge. However, there was a limited number of spirit beasts registered by the Gym Leader on the official website of the Beast Tamer Association for the challenge against Beast Tamers. Therefore, in order to challenge the Gym Leader, Beast Tamers from the same district and city woulde to the Gym to register their appointments a day earlier. The Beast Tamers from other base cities would make appointments online and wait until their appointments were sessful beforeing to challenge the Gym Leader. After logging into Starlux Gym¡¯s ount on the official website of the Beast Tamer Association, Giles directly clicked on the profile picture of the ount. It was a star that shone in the dark night sky, and also the badge that represented Starlux Gym. After the stars on the profile picture flickered, Giles entered the main page of Starlux Gym¡¯s webpage which was registered with the Beast Tamer Association. However, to his surprise, when he scrolled down to the Beast Tamer appointment interface, he was surprised to discover that the number of people who had made an appointment for the ¡°Rank Evaluation¡± was 0, and the number of people who had made an appointment to ¡°Challenge the Gym Leader¡± was also 0. ¡°How strange! Why didn¡¯t anyone make an appointment for next month?¡± Looking at the two ¡°0s¡± disyed on the interface of the Starlux Gym¡¯s website, Giles frowned slightly. His expression gradually became serious. He had originally wanted to confirm how many people had made bookings before going online to search for relevant information to solve the problem of the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s iplete evolution. Moreover, he also wanted to know if he could strengthen his physique like other Beast Tamers by absorbing that enormous amount of spiritual energy. As for the matter of Beast Tamers making appointments for ¡°Rank Evaluation¡± and ¡°Challenge the Gym Leader¡±, he could either design a short-term training n for the Little Golden Eagle and Little Fox, or he could directly cancel the appointments on the Inte. After all, he was only the ¡°acting gym leader¡± in name. In reality, he was just an ordinary Beast Tamer in the gym. As long as he told the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s municipal department about the actual situation and let the relevant staff and the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association confirm that ¡®Starlux Gym Leader Alice is temporarily not in the gym because of a certain mission¡¯, Giles would no longer have to worry about the ¡®rank evaluation¡¯ and ¡®challenge the Gym Leader¡¯. Although Giles only wanted to search for information as soon as possible to solve the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s problem and the problem with his body¡­ He had also thought that the fewer Beast Tamers who made appointments for the ¡®Rank Evaluation¡¯ and ¡®Challenge the Gym Leader¡¯, the better. If that really couldn¡¯ work, he could just cancel all of them. However, the special urrences that had happened one after another made him feel somewhat uneasy. It was almost noon today. Not only were there no Beast Tamers who came to the gym to borrow the training ground, but the number of Beast Tamers who scheduled evaluations and challenges online for the next month were also ¡®0¡¯. ¡°Has something major happened recently?¡± With this question in mind, Giles exited from the main page of Starlux Gym. Just as he switched to the official website of the Beast Tamer Association to search for real-time news, a striking notice posted on the official website made his eyes widen. ¡°Announcement: The Beast-taming Gyms in each base city will be closed one after another from today onwards. Please wait for the Beast Tamer Association to make announcements about the specific opening time. The name list of the first batch of Beast-taming Gyms to be closed is as follows: Irnd Gym, Victor Gym, Starlux Gym.¡± Chapter 71 - The Youngest Elite Beast Tamer

Chapter 71: The Youngest Elite Beast Tamer

¡°Irnd Gym, Victor Gym and Starlux Gym¡­¡± ¡°All the Beast-taming gyms in my base city have been included in the name list of the first batch of Beast-taming gyms to be closed.¡± Looking at the announcement posted on the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s official website, Giles finally found the answer to the question that had puzzled him for a long time . No wonder no Beast Tamer came to Starlux Gym today to borrow the training ground even though it¡¯s almost noon. The Beast-taming Gym is temporarily closed for the time being. This concerns whether or not Beast Tamers have any venues to train their spirit beasts. When the Beast Tamers learned of this news, they probably ran over to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s various divisions in the base city to protest. ¡°But why did the Beast Tamer Association suddenly announce that they would close all the Beast-taming Gyms?¡± Regarding the matter of ¡°Beast-taming Gyms temporarily closing¡±, Giles could not figure out the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s intentions. He opened the main page of Starlux Gym again and tried to find some clues from the notifications sent by the Beast Tamer Association, but he still found nothing. ¡°Before this, there hasn¡¯t been any news about temporarily closing the gym. Is the Beast Tamer Association about to make a big move?¡± Thinking of this, Giles shook his head resignedly and exited Starlux Gym¡¯s main page. ¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t think about it too much first.¡± In Giles¡¯ opinion, these questions were not for him to think about. He was only managing Starlux Gym on behalf of Alice, and was not actually the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. The most important thing now was to resolve the Little Golden Eagle¡¯s problem and the issue with his body. ¡°Since the Beast Tamer Association has announced that they¡¯re going to close the gym for the time being, I better close the door of the gym first.¡± ¡°Otherwise, it will be troublesome if someone barges in.¡± Giles walked out from the reception area of the gym and was about to close the door to Starlux Gym when he heard a familiar voice. ¡°Giles, long time no see!¡± It was noon, and the sun outside was as ring as ever. Giles, who was looking out the door, squinted his eyes and realized that the person who had greeted him was an elderly man with a white beard. ¡°Mr Rex? Why are you here?¡± Giles was surprised to see that it was Mr Rex, the person who had posted a mission online for him. When the beast tide eruptedst year and attacked the city, Mr Rex and his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, became heroes in protecting the city. Furthermore, he was one of themanders of the City Guards in this base city. At the same time, he was responsible for maintaining the security and order around Giles¡¯ area. After the Beast Tamer Association announced that the Beast-taming Gyms would be closed, there would probably be quite a number of Beast Tamers gathered at the Beast Tamer Association Branches nearby to protest. However, as the Commander of the City Guards responsible for maintaining order, Mr Rex had appeared outside Starlux Gym. Moreover, looking at his current expression, he seemed to be quite happy. He could even greet Giles as usual. Giles, who was surprised and curious about this, looked at Rex and asked subconsciously, ¡°Mr Rex, shouldn¡¯t the City Guards be very busy today?¡± ¡°Hmm? You mean the matter of a group of Beast Tamers gathered at the different branches of the Beast Tamer Association to protest?¡± Giles was puzzled by Rex¡¯s rxed attitude when he answered the question. ¡°Our base city has twelve Beast Tamer Association branches. It¡¯s only been one morning, but they¡¯ve already been dealt with?¡± ¡°Haha, Giles, this is because youck experience.¡± Rex stroked his white beard and smiled as if everything was under control. He was smiling so much that it formed even more wrinkles on his face. ¡°Although our City Guards are under the jurisdiction of the Beast Tamer Alliance and we aren¡¯t sure what your Beast Tamer Association is nning to do by suddenly issuing an announcement for the Beast-taming Gyms to temporarily close its doors, the Beast Tamer Association will always inform our City Guards in advance to make preparations before such a huge move.¡± ¡°Besides, your Beast-taming Gym is only temporarily closed. It¡¯s not like the Gym Leaders aren¡¯t around.¡± ¡°In the past, no matter which district had Beast Tamers causing trouble, it was always the Gym Leaders and our City Guards who dealt with it. Today is naturally no exception.¡± ¡°After the various Gym Leaders rushed to the scene to help our City Guards maintain order, the Beast Tamer Association also proposed to open the training area of the Beast-taming Gym and provide the training grounds for the Beast Tamers.¡± After hearing Rex¡¯s exnation, Giles caught onto another piece of information. ¡°In other words, apart from the training ground provided to the Beast Tamer, the other projects and areas are temporarily closed?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­ this should be what the Beast Tamer Association wants.¡± Giles¡¯ sudden question stumped Rex. After some thought, Rex suddenly mentioned a person to Giles. ¡°However, you can ask Her Excellency Hash about the specific situation after shees.¡± ¡°Her Excellency Hash?¡± Giles subconsciously repeated the name Rex had mentioned. He suddenly felt that this name was familiar, but he could not remember who it was. However, Giles was certain that he had never seen this person before. ¡°Oh, by the way, Giles, the other gym leaders of our base city have already met with Her Excellency Hash two days ago.¡± ¡°Because you haven¡¯t been in Starlux Gym recently, I brought Her Excellency Hash here today.¡± Rex also knew that Giles had never met Hash before, so he began to introduce her to Giles. ¡°As the newly promoted Elite Beast Tamer this year, Her Excellency had broken the record at the age of 25 and was evaluated as the youngest Elite Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Now that she hase to our base city to be the deputymander of the City Guard¡¯s high wall in the outer city, she is an indispensable force for us in fighting off the beast tide in the future.¡± ¡°Today, when the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Division near your Starlux Gym was blocked by a group of protesting Beast Tamers at the door, it was also with the help of Her Excellency Hash that our City Guards were able to maintain order in the venue so quickly.¡± After introducing ¡°Her Excellency Hash¡±, Rex even lowered his voice and hinted to Giles, ¡°Giles, as an elite Beast Tamer, Her Excellency Hash has a lot of say in your Beast Tamer Association.¡± ¡°If you can prove your strength to her, then she can help you confirm your identity as the acting gym leader.¡± Giles was wondering if he had heard the name ¡®Hash¡¯ before, but Rex¡¯sst sentence reminded him. Right now, Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, had been away for many days, and he, the so-called ¡°acting Gym Leader¡±, had fainted because of the ident this morning. In addition, after he returned yesterday, he did not receive any news from the Beast Tamer Association, so he did not know that Starlux Gym would be temporarily closed from today onwards. Therefore, when the door of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s nearby branch was blocked by a group of protesting Beast Tamers, he was unable to rush over to the scene to help the City Guards maintain order like the gym leaders of the other districts. ¡°In that case, it seems that this Excellency Hash whom I¡¯ve never met before has helped me greatly.¡± Chapter 72 - How Disappointing

Chapter 72: How Disappointing

However, Giles did not take Rex¡¯s words to heart. The current Giles was no longer the same Giles who had just taken over the management of the gym and was eager to prove his strength. Right now, he actually did not care about the identity of ¡°acting gym leader¡±. Giles, who was lost in thought, was only trying to recall where he had heard the name ¡®Hash¡¯ before. ¡°He¡¯s only 25 years old and the youngest elite Beast Tamer. I should definitely have an impression of such an impressive person.¡± If the ¡°Gym Leader¡± was the strongest Beast Tamer in the municipal district, then the ¡°Elite¡± was the strongest Beast Tamer in the base city. Rex said that ¡°Her Excellency Hash¡± had been awarded this honor at the age of 25. Although it might be an exaggeration, the fact that she could help the City Guards quickly maintain order like the other gym leaders meant that she was minimally as powerful as the gym leader. One had to know that when Beast Tamers teamed up, there would usually be over a hundred people gathered at the Beast Tamer Association to protest. In addition, they might even let their spirit beasts out to cause trouble. The impact and destruction that this would cause was no small matter. Therefore, at times like this, they often needed someone with absolute strength to suppress and intimidate them. Otherwise, the agitated Beast Tamers would not quietly listen to others. But why did Mr Rex specially bring such a powerful Elite Beast Tamer to Starlux Gym? Although Giles could not remember where he had heard the name ¡®Hash¡¯ before, he suddenly remembered that Rex had mentioned that Her Excellency Hash woulde overter. ¡°Mr Rex, didn¡¯t you mention that Her Excellency Hash woulde to Starlux Gym?¡± ¡°Yes, it has only been three or four days since Her Excellency Hash came to our base city. We, the leaders of the City Guards, are also cooperating with her to help her familiarise with some of the important figures in the various municipalities.¡± Rex¡¯s smile faded when Giles mentioned that Hash wasing to Starlux Gymter. His expression always became serious when work-rted matters were mentioned. ¡°Her Excellency Hash met with the various Beast-taming Gym Leaders of our base city two days ago. Yesterday evening, when I was introducing the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, Mr Gars, to Her Excellency Hash at the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, we didn¡¯t expect the eldest daughter of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, Elena, toe back. ¡°It was also Miss Elena who told us that you had already returned to Starlux Gym, so after settling themotion at the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branches this morning, Her Excellency Hash and I came over from the Beast Tamer Association branch.¡± Rex paused for a moment, looking helpless. ¡°It¡¯s just that I walked a little faster than her, so I rushed over to confirm if you were in the gym.¡± Giles could hear the helplessness in Rex¡¯s voice. Looking at Rex¡¯s white hair and beard, Giles could not help but wonder,?Mr Rex is already 60 years old this year. How can he move faster than an Elite 25-year-old Beast Tamer like Her Excellency Hash? Just as Giles was pondering this, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake. After several tremors, a huge figure slowly blocked the sunlight at the entrance of the gym. ¡°Is this Alice¡¯s Starlux Gym?¡± After hearing azy female voice ask in a puzzled tone, Giles regained his senses and looked up. He saw a three-meter-tall Alligator Snapping Turtle, that was asrge as a truck, standing in front of him. This Alligator Snapping Turtle¡¯s four limbs and abdomen were brownish-yellow in color, simr to the soil. Its head and feet were protected by a grayish-white armor in the appearance of tree bark. The most eye-catching thing about it was the emerald green tortoise shell on its back, as if it was covered in a huge leaf. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was actually a thick andrge tree. On the edge of its shell and above its four limbs, it had many mushrooms and moss as embellishments. If it were anyone else, when they first saw this giant Alligator Snapping Turtle, they would probably think of it as a moving rockery. Feeling the pressureing from the giant Alligator Snapping Turtle in front of him, Giles could not help but be shocked. That intense pressure was not only brought about by this Alligator Snapping Turtle¡¯s huge body. Its body itself vaguely emitted a powerful aura. This giant Alligator Snapping Turtle is a spirit beast that is minimally at the Epic rank. Moreover, it might have already entered the Legend rank. At the thought of a Legend-rank spirit beast possessing the ability to speak humannguage, Giles turned his head in surprise and looked at Rex. ¡°Uh, Mr Rex, could Her Excellency Hash whom you mentioned just now be this Legend-rank Alligator Snapping Turtle spirit beast that can speak the humannguage?¡± ¡°Her Excellency Hash is not a spirit beast, but this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle is indeed about to enter the Legend rank. Besides, when I first saw this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, I was also shocked like you.¡± Rex waved at Giles dismissively. Then, he raised his head and waved towards the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. ¡°Your Excellency, this is Giles whom I mentioned to you a while ago.¡± ¡°Huh? You¡¯re saying that this kid is the acting gym leader who helped Starlux Gym win the championship in the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament?¡± Following the indolent female voice, the tree on the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle slowly began moving and fell backward. Only then did Giles realize that the tree on the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle was actually the tail of the Alligator Snapping Turtle. On the turtle shell of the Alligator Snapping Turtle, there was actually a greenwn. The reason why that tree-like tail had covered the back of the Alligator Snapping Turtle was also to shield the person on the turtle from the dazzling sunlight at noon. A woman with disheveled hair was sitting on thewn on the turtle¡¯s back. She looked like she had just woken up. She was scratching her messy hair and yawning. When Giles looked up at her, she, who was stretching and squinting, also looked down at Giles. ¡°Is the quality of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament already so low?¡± After staring at Giles for a few seconds, Hash frowned and asked Rex unhappily, ¡°Although the contestants representing the Beast-taming Gyms are all candidates for the next Gym Leader, you can¡¯t possibly let a Beast Tamer who isn¡¯t even at the Gold rank stay on till the end and win the championship, can you?¡± ¡°Your Excellency Hash, did you just say that Giles is a Beast Tamer who isn¡¯t even at the Gold rank?¡± Rex was greatly puzzled by Hash¡¯s evaluation of Giles. ¡°But as far as I know, after Giles won the championship of the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament, he was already evaluated by the Beast Tamer Association as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°You said that he has been evaluated as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer by the Beast Tamer Association?¡± Hash, who was originally stretching on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly perked up when he heard Rex mention that Giles was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Giles watched as she jumped from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle all the way to him. Before Giles could react to what Hash was nning, she grabbed his right hand. ¡°Hah, I thought that I was still sleeping and had made a mistake in my judgment. I didn¡¯t expect the oue to be so disappointing!¡± As the spirit beast tattoo on Giles¡¯ right arm lit up slightly, Hash sighed in disappointment and once again evaluated Giles¡¯ strength. ¡°I really don¡¯t know what the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s evaluation standard was when they evaluated you.¡± ¡°They actually rated you, a five-star Silver-rank Beast Tamer, as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.¡± Chapter 73 - Rex Made a Well-intentioned Mistake

Chapter 73: Rex Made a Well-intentioned Mistake

¡°Five-star Silver rank?¡± An unfamiliar term suddenly popped out of Hash¡¯s mouth, catching Giles and Rex¡¯s attention. However, Hash had no intention of staying on this topic. ¡°Your name is Giles, right? I can verify with my spiritual perception that your strength is not at the Gold rank yet.¡± After putting Giles¡¯ right hand down, Hash pointed at the spirit beast tattoo on Giles¡¯ right arm. ¡°Of course, if you want to prove to me that you have the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, then let out the spirit beasts that helped you win the championship at the Beast-taming Gym Tournament.¡± ¡°If there is one Epic-rank spirit beast or three or more Gold-rank spirit beasts, I can consider preserving your identity as the Acting Gym Leader.¡± Rex could not help but feel anxious when he saw that Hash, who had beennguidly dealing with everything the past few days, suddenly became serious. ¡°Giles, after you won the Beast-taming Gym Tournament, didn¡¯t the Beast Tamer Association give you an Epic-rank Beast Tamer badge? Why don¡¯t you show that badge to Her Excellency Hash?¡± After Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, temporarily left Starlux Gym for some reason, Beast Tamer Giles, who was in charge of Starlux Gym, had be the so-called ¡°Acting Gym Leader¡±. However, in reality, Giles¡¯ identity as the ¡®Acting Gym Leader¡¯ was not recognized by the Beast Tamer Association. Furthermore, he had not taken the initiative to look for the Beast Tamer Association to report the situation. Therefore, if one really wanted to look into it, Giles¡¯ act of epting the challenges of other Beast Tamers on behalf of Alice and granting the challenger the Gym badge, was aplete vition. Although Rex was not very clear about the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s criteria for selecting the Gym Leader of the Beast-taming Gyms, after asking the other gym leaders, he learned that the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s minimum requirement for a Gym Leader was that they had to be at least Gold-rank and had three spirit beasts that were beyond that rank. This was also the main reason Rex had invited Hash to Starlux Gym today. As Giles was his benefactor who helped him to avenge his grandson, Bart, Rex had always wanted to find a chance to repay Giles¡¯ kindness. After learning that Giles already had several Gold-rank spirit beasts and had won the championship of the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament, Rex began to think of ways to find an opportunity to validate Giles as the ¡°Acting Gym Leader.¡± Not long ago, Rex, who had learned that the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, wasing, had decided to seize this opportunity and thought of a brilliant solution. That was to get the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who had a certain amount of authority in the Beast Tamer Association, toe to Starlux Gym and help to acknowledge Giles as the ¡°Acting Gym Leader¡± of Starlux Gym. This way, regardless of whether Giles had vited the rules previously, he would be spared some punishment because of his identity being recognized. Furthermore, Giles had already obtained the approval of the Beast Tamer Association during the Beast-taming Gym Tournament. Not only did he have the badge of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but he also had a few Gold-rank spirit beasts. Hence, Rex was not worried at all about whether Giles could pass the evaluation. However, the moment Hash arrived at Starlux Gym and saw Giles, she immediately said that Giles was not even at the Gold rank, which made Rex¡¯s heart clench. Although with his abilities, he could also sense that Giles was not an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Giles did have an Epic-rank badge from the Beast Tamer Association after all. Therefore, when he heard that Hash had asked Giles to release the few spirit beasts that had participated in the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament, Rex hurriedly asked Giles to take out the certified Epic-rank badge from the Beast Tamer Association. If Giles did not pass Hash¡¯s evaluation today and let Hash know that there was an ¡°acting Gym Leader¡± like him whose strength was not even at the Gold rank, then Rex would be a sinner who repays kindness with ingratitude! However, to his surprise, Giles only shook his head after hearing Hash¡¯s request. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, as you said, I indeed don¡¯t have the strength of a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now.¡± After Giles finished speaking, from the space on his arm, he released a bird-type spirit beast that Hash and Rex had never seen before. ¡°Among the spirit beasts that have contracted with me, the strongest one is this Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± As the Little Golden Eagle was still in an iplete state of evolution, Giles did not call it ¡®Little Golden Eagle¡¯ when he introduced it to Hash and Rex. However, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not have any objections to the new name that it had temporarily obtained. Instead, it affectionately rubbed its head against Giles¡¯ right hand. Giles smiled when he saw this. With a faint smile, he raised his right hand and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head. However, when Giles talked about the few spirit beasts which Hash asked him about just now, Giles¡¯ expression darkened. ¡°As for my spirit beasts that participated in the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournament, they are still recuperating elsewhere.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then you¡¯re not qualified to be the Acting Gym Leader.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ exnation, Hash, the elite Beast Tamer, also made her judgment solemnly. ¡°Mr Rex, when we return to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Brach, we¡¯ll report the situation at Starlux Gym to the higher-ups.¡± ¡°Until the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association issues a notice, Starlux Gym will temporarily close until Gym Leader Alice returns.¡± ¡°During this period, Giles is only responsible for opening and managing the training grounds of Starlux Gym. He will lend the training ground to other Beast Tamers.¡± ¡°By the way, I still have to check when I get back. I want to see if Starlux Gym hasmitted any vition by epting challenges from other Beast Tamers during the time that Alice was gone.¡± ¡°Giles, I¡¯ll remind you once here. If you¡¯ve given any Beast Tamer the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge during this period of time, you had better tell me yourself.¡± ¡°Otherwise, if I find out that you¡¯ve been viting the rules during this period of time, the Beast Tamer Association will punish you even more severely.¡± Rex, who was standing aside, looked at Giles guiltily when he heard that Hash, whom he had brought along, was about to punish his benefactor, Giles. He had originally wanted to get Hash to help him acknowledge Giles as the ¡°Acting Gym Leader¡±. This way, he could repay Giles¡¯ favor. However, to his surprise, after seeing Giles, Hash did not acknowledge that Giles had the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer. Furthermore, Giles¡¯ spirit beasts that were originally Gold-rank and above were actually all not by Giles¡¯ side. However, Giles didn¡¯t look flustered at all when facing the verdict that Hash had made. Or rather, he had already realized this morning what mistakes he had made. Therefore, when he heard from Hash that the Beast Tamer Association might punish him, he felt much more relieved. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, when I was managing Starlux Gym after Gym Leader Alice left, there were indeed situations where I was challenged by Beast Tamers, and it wasn¡¯t just once.¡± To Rex¡¯s surprise, Giles frankly admitted that he had vited the rules. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know how the Beast Tamer Association will punish me when the timees, I would like to thank you first for helping Starlux Gym deal with the dispute at the Beast Tamer Association this morning.¡± Giles said as he bowed his head to Hash and thanked her, ¡°Thank you for your help this morning.¡± Chapter 74 - A Doctor Will Always Try to Divert Your Attention First

Chapter 74: A Doctor Will Always Try to Divert Your Attention First

¡°I didn¡¯t expect this kid to have such a proper attitude when admitting his mistake.¡± In the face of Giles¡¯ sudden mention of the dispute this morning and the fact that he had bowed to her to thank her, although Hash¡¯s expression did not change much, her impression of Giles had still changed quite a bit. ¡°But since he grew up with Alice, I don¡¯t think his upbringing is bad.¡± ¡°If the vitions he made while he was acting as the Gym Leader aren¡¯t especially serious, I can think of a way to help him deal with these problems for Alice¡¯s sake.¡± ¡°Hah¡­ It seems like there¡¯ll be a lot of work to be done after I get back. My sleep time is going to be less than 12 hours again.¡± After these thoughts arose in his mind, Hash yawned and waved off Giles, who was bowing and thanking him. ¡°Enough, you don¡¯t have to thank me for handling the dispute this morning. Your Starlux Gym Gym Leader Alice is not in the gym.¡± ¡°Even if you were there, it¡¯s not your ce as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer to handle the huge scene where more than a hundred people gathered to cause trouble.¡± ¡°Besides, among the spirit beasts that you¡¯ve contracted, is this Metal-feathered Eagle the strongest?¡± After wrapping up the business matters he had to settle at Starlux Gym today, Hash realized that the bird-type spirit beast that Giles had contracted had a special form. This metal-feathered eagle that was standing on both feet had two additional eagle ws on both sides of its chest. Judging from the weak state of the two eagle ws, it was probably still not used to them. However, judging from the luster of its feathers, its body was in a very healthy state. It seems to be the type I¡¯ve never seen before! ¡°Eh? What¡¯s with your Metal-feathered Eagle? Is it a newly-discovered spirit beast?¡± Giles was pleased to see Hash raise the question about the Metal-feathered Eagle out of curiosity. The reason why he had let the Metal-feathered Eagle out of the space was to attract Hash¡¯s attention. In his opinion, since Ha Xi could sense his strength through her spiritual energy just now, with Hash¡¯s knowledge as an Elite Beast Tamer, she might be able to solve the problem of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s iplete evolution. ¡°A newly-discovered spirit beast? I think so?¡± In the face of Hash¡¯s question, Giles also behaved like he didn¡¯t know much. After all, he really could not determine the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s situation. ¡°However, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s situation is rted to its evolution failure.¡± Upon saying this, Giles walked to the side of the Metal-feathered Eagle and picked up the two eagle ws by its chest, one on each side. ¡°These two eagle ws grew out after its evolution failed, but ording to the message the spirit beast sent me, it still can¡¯t use its powers for these two eagle ws.¡± Upon hearing Giles¡¯ words, Hash put away his curiosity and solemnly walked over to the Metal-feathered Eagle. She raised her right hand and stopped in front of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s chest. Then, her palm lit up with a faint green glow. ¡°Hmm? This is¡­ Beast Cores? I think I understand now.¡± After examining the situation inside the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s body through the spiritual energy released from her palm, Hash¡¯s expression became much more rxed. ¡°It must have eaten a few beast cores before it evolved. As for how many there were, I can¡¯t be sure now because it absorbed a portion of them.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s precisely because those few beast cores have notpletely been absorbed that its evolution is also iplete. This is why its hands are powerless.¡± After hearing Hash¡¯s deduction, Giles nodded slightly. ¡°Looks like my previous thoughts were right. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s current situation is indeed an iplete evolution.¡± After confirming that his train of thoughts were correct, Giles asked Hash about the solution. ¡°Your Excellency, how should I help this Metal-feathered Eagle evolve sessfully? Should I help it absorb the remaining spiritual energy from the beast cores?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Hearing Giles¡¯ question, Hash pondered for a few seconds before suddenly turning around and patting the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle behind her. ¡°Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, use your ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ on this Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± Hash even specially added on to remind the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to pay attention to the amount of strength it used, ¡°Remember to be gentle. It¡¯s enough to wrap a slender vine around its abdomen.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been standing obediently at the side, could understand what Hash was saying. When it heard that Hash had asked the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in front of it to attack it, the Metal-feathered Eagle subconsciously wanted to p its wings and dodge. Right now, it was still a spirit beast that had yet to evolve to the Gold rank. Facing the attack of this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that might have already stepped into the Legend rank, it was impossible for it to stand still and receive the attack. Just as the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and was about to dodge the attack, a hand gently pressed down on its head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine with me by your side.¡± Hearing Giles, who was standing beside it,forting it, and feeling Giles¡¯ touch, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s emotions calmed down. Yeah, if it¡¯s really dangerous, Giles will definitely protect me like before. Realizing this, the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped pping its wings and stood rooted to the spot. Although one could tell from its constantly trembling feathers that it was still afraid of the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in front of it, under Giles¡¯ touch, it had no intention of dodging the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ Seeing that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s emotions were gradually stabilizing, Hash also looked at Giles in approval. She could tell that the Metal-feathered Eagle was still instinctively afraid of high-ranking spirit beasts. However, it was probably out of trust towards Giles that it still chose to stand rooted to the spot in the face of the imminent attack. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s trust in Giles could actually force it to ovee its instinctive fear. The fact that Giles had shown this made his image in Hash¡¯s heart improve greatly. One had to know that determining whether a Beast Tamer was qualified or not was not based on the strength of the Beast Tamer, but rather on the bonds between the Beast Tamer and the spirit beast that he had contracted. This was because when Beast Tamersmanded the battle from outside the arena, they usually had more information than the spirit beasts in the arena. Therefore, whether the spirit beasts could ovee their instincts during the battle and choose to listen to the Beast Tamers¡¯mands was especially important. Victory and defeat were usually decided in that instant. If the Beast Tamer outside the arena seized the opportunity and gave themand, but the spirit beasts in the arena were unable to seize that fleeting opportunity due to their instincts, then no matter how strong this Beast Tamer was, he would still be considered a failure when it came to beast taming. In Hash¡¯s opinion, Giles was a qualified Beast Tamer. However, he and his spirit beast were still too weak in terms of strength. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, although there will be a certain amount of pain, the pain is only momentary¡­¡± Before Hash could finish speaking, the Tree-tailed Alligator Turtle pierced a vine towards the Metal-feathered Eagle at his signal. The Metal-feathered Eagle clearly did not expect such a huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to be able to use its skill so quickly. Giles, on the other hand, sighed when he saw the vine stab the Metal-feathered Eagle. He looked helplessly at Hash. ¡°Your Excellency, there¡¯s no need for you to do this so abruptly, is there?¡± ¡°Although the Metal-feathered Eagle and I were already mentally prepared, we still couldn¡¯t react.¡± ¡°If I wait for you and the Metal-feathered Eagle to react, it will have to hurt for a while longer.¡± Hash made an injecting gesture at Giles as she said, ¡°In order to reduce the pain as much as possible, wouldn¡¯t the doctors try to divert your attention before giving you an injection?¡± Chapter 75 - The Elite Beast Tamers High-Level Use of the Absorbing Vines

Chapter 75: The Elite Beast Tamer¡¯s High-Level Use of the Absorbing Vines

For Hash to suddenly make such a vivid metaphor was indeed beyond Giles¡¯ expectations. However, on second thought, he realized that although he and Rex called Hash ¡°Your Excellency¡±, Haxi was only three years older than him. Judging from Hash¡¯s behaviour previously, she was not a talented Beast Tamer who behaved arrogant and looked down on others. Besides, Hash was right. If the Metal-feathered Eagle watched as the vines slowly pierced into its body, it would clearly suffer more. Giles squatted beside the Metal-feathered Eagle and stroked it gently as ity trembling on the ground. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, how are you feeling?¡± Through spiritualmunication, Giles asked the Metal-feathered Eagle about the feeling in its body. ¡°Giles, the swelling pain from the remnant spiritual energy from the beast cores has been greatly reduced.¡± Sensing the message from the Metal-feathered Eagle, Giles realized that the absorption vine hadn¡¯t pierced the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s abdomen. Although the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle released and absorbed the vines very quickly, the vines seemed to be attached to the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s abdomen before slowly extending to wrap around its waist. Looks like the vines are absorbing the remnant beast-core spiritual energy in the Metal-feathered Eagle. Seeing the absorbing vines grow thicker and thicker, Giles made his own spection, but at the same time, a question arose in his heart. Is Her Excellency Hash nning to absorb all the remaining beast core spiritual energy in the Metal-feathered Eagle using the vines?¡± In that case, how will she release the spiritual energy absorbed by the vines? With that question in mind, Giles prepared to observe the situation first and see what Hash had in mind. As the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped trembling, the vine had also formed a belt around its waist. ¡°Giles, will this belt made of vines continue to absorb the spiritual energy in my body like it did just now?¡± Although the swelling pain from the beast core¡¯s spiritual energy was gone, the Metal-feathered Eagle still felt a lingering fear when it recalled the feeling of its spiritual energy being forcefully absorbed from its abdomen by the vines. After Gilesmunicated with the Metal-feathered Eagle telepathically and confirmed that there was nothing unusual with its body, he voiced his doubts to Hash, ¡°Your Excellency Hash, as far as I know, the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ is a control-type skill that limits the target¡¯s movement by continuously absorbing the spiritual energy in the target¡¯s body.¡± ¡°However, the spiritual energy absorbed by the vines will turn into nutrients for the vines. If we allow the vines to absorb spiritual energy incessantly and grow, the vines will eventually entangle around its target.¡± At that, Giles paused. Then, pointing to the vine belt around the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s waist, he looked gravely at Hash and said, ¡°So, does the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ that you got the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to use on the Metal-feathered Eagle still have some special effects?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, Giles.¡± Rex, who was standing at the side, thought to himself,?Not good. Initially, after seeing Giles thank Hash for what had happened this morning, he thought that Giles¡¯ way of handling the situation was pretty good. Although this didn¡¯t change the fact that Hash had made the judgment to have Starlux Gym close for the time being, it could at least improve Hash¡¯s impression of Giles. And the fact of the matter was that Hash actually had a pretty good impression of Giles. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have gotten the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to help. However, Giles¡¯ questioning gaze might offend Hash and Rex knew how strong Hash was. It was said that two days ago, the Gym Leader of the Irnd Gym had wanted to challenge Hash because he was unhappy with Hash¡¯s attitude of lying on the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle when she was meeting him. In the end, his three strongest spirit beasts took turns fighting, but they didn¡¯t even make the Tree-tailed Crocodile Turtle, who was standing at the same spot, take a step back. Instead, the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle took on all three by itself and defeated them one by one. On the same day, the Gym Leader of Irnd Gym was warned and punished by the Beast Tamer Association. Although Hash gave Rex the impression that she waszy, it had only been a week since Rex met Hash. Therefore, he was unable to determine what kind of temper Hash had. He could only hurriedly step forward to smooth things over after Giles asked the question. He started to change the topic, ¡°Her Excellency Hash¡¯s Tree-tailed Alligator Turtle is a spirit beast that is about to enter the Legend rank. Furthermore, Her Excellency Hash is also an Elite Beast Tamer. She must have her reasons for the way she¡¯s dealing with the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s problem. Giles, you don¡¯t have to ask too much .¡± Seeming to be afraid that Giles had yet to realize Hash¡¯s strength as an Elite Beast Tamer, Rex even introduced the characteristics of spirit beasts like the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to Giles, ¡°Giles, you should know that the w of spirit beasts with long average lifespans is their slow growth.¡± ¡°The average lifespan of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle has always been in the top three among the known spirit beasts.¡± ¡°When a wild Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle is 20 years old, it¡¯s usually only at the Silver rank. Very few can break through to the Gold rank.¡± ¡°Her Excellency Hash had contracted the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle since she was young and was able to raise the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to the Epic rank within 20 years. That¡¯s simply unprecedented.¡± Before Rex could finish, Hash put one hand on his forehead and waved at Rex with the other, gesturing for him to stop. ¡°Enough, enough, Mr Rex. I know you¡¯re stating the facts, but I¡¯m sick of hearing them. Besides¡­¡± Hash paused for a moment before putting down his hand that was covering his forehead and looking at Giles with interest. ¡°Based on Giles¡¯ understanding of the abilities of nt-attribute spirit beasts, he clearly has some understanding of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.¡± In the face of the question Giles had raised to him, not only was Hash not the least bit angry, but she actually admired Giles. When Giles found out that she was going to help, he had trusted herpletely and made the Metal-feathered Eagle stay where it was. However, Giles wasn¡¯t the kind of weakling who blindly worshipped and trusted the strong. He knew the effect of the skill ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯, which was why he was assured to let her Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle unleash its ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ on the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, the reason he asked this question now was clearly because he was weak and had yet toe into contact with the high-level usage method of the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ At the thought of this, to reassure Giles, Hash exined to Giles why she was doing this, ¡°Giles, as you described just now, the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ is a control skill that continuously absorbs the target¡¯s spiritual energy and binds the target to limit their movement.¡± ¡°However, I got the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to only release one Absorption Vine in order to deliberately control the binding effects of the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ so that the vine would mainly exert the absorption effect.¡± ¡°Right now, the belt around the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s abdomen that is formed from the ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ is actually a protective measure to help the Metal-feathered Eagle absorb the remaining spiritual energy in the beast cores.¡± ¡°After that, you can get the Metal-feathered Eagle to absorb the spiritual energy stored in the vines first. With the ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ as a transit point for the beast core¡¯s spiritual energy, it shouldn¡¯t experience any uncontroble rampage when it absorbs the remaining spiritual energy in the beast cores.¡± ¡°However, even if the Metal-feathered Eagle loses control again when it absorbs the spiritual energy in the beast cores, the ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ will also forcefully absorb the spiritual energy of the uncontroble rampage as nutrients for its growth, just like what happened just now. ¡°Therefore, with this ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ as the carrier for the beast cores¡¯ spiritual energy, the safety of the Metal-feathered Eagle can be guaranteed.¡± Chapter 76 - Whats with the Injury on Your Left Arm?

Chapter 76: What¡¯s with the Injury on Your Left Arm?

¡°Is this an Elite Beast Tamer¡¯s and an Epic-rank spirit beast¡¯s skilful control and application of skills?¡± After hearing Hash¡¯s exnation for using the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ , Giles, who was surprised, subconsciouslymented. Although he could roughly guess Hash¡¯s motive for getting the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to use the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ through his understanding of the ¡®absorption of vines¡¯ skill, with his limitedbat experience, he had to admit in his heart that Hash¡¯s understanding and nning with the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ as well as the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle¡¯s control and usage of its skill were areas that he hadpletely not touched on before. However, Giles wasn¡¯t disappointed or discouraged by this. On the contrary, he was filled with joy and excitement. This was because he realized that on the road to bing the ¡°World¡¯s Number One Beast Tamer¡±, there was another senior worth learning from. ¡°My little tricks are just child¡¯s y.¡± Listening to Giles¡¯ subconscious sigh, Hash shrugged nonchntly. In her opinion, this was indeed not a big deal. She just happened to know a skill that could help the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°I¡¯m just an Elite Beast Tamer that was newly promoted this year. Compared to the seniors before me, I¡¯m just a primary school student.¡± Elite Beast Tamers are only primary school students. In that case, wouldn¡¯t I, a Beast Tamer who isn¡¯t even at the Gold rank, be equivalent to a kindergartener? Hearing Hash¡¯s analogy, Giles couldn¡¯t help but sweat. He didn¡¯t voice out the thoughts that had popped up in his mind. However, he also realized how far away he was from his target. At the thought of this, Giles stood up. Then, he lowered his head and bowed to thank Hash once again, ¡°Your Excellency, thank you very much for your help.¡± Seeing this, the Metal-feathered Eagle, who was lying at the side, also got up and imitated Giles in bowing and thanking the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You can put the Metal-feathered Eagle into your tattoo space to let it recuperate first.¡± ¡°Today, let¡¯s just stabilize the spiritual energy in its body first. Don¡¯t let it absorb the spiritual energy in a hurry.¡± Seeing that everything was more or less settled, Hash yawned and wanted to climb onto the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to continue sleeping. However, as she turned around, she suddenly noticed Giles¡¯ left hand, whose eagle w tattoo was glowing as it recalled the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°This is¡­ gauze?¡± After Giles retrieved the Metal-feathered Eagle, Hash went over to Giles and looked at his left hand in confusion. ¡°Your left arm¡­ How did you get your entire left arm injured?¡± Hash gently gripped Giles¡¯ left wrist. When she raised Giles¡¯ left arm, she saw the bandage hidden under Giles¡¯ long sleeve of his shirt. ¡°Huh? What¡¯s with the spiritual energy flow in your body? Why is it so imbnced?¡± After grabbing Giles¡¯ wrist, Hash was surprised to find that the spiritual energy contained in Giles¡¯ left arm was more than the spiritual energy in Giles¡¯ body. Moreover, the main source of the spiritual energy she sensed from Giles¡¯ body seemed to be from his left arm. ¡°This was caused when the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s evolution went out of control due to the spiritual energy turbulence.¡± Giles hadn¡¯t expected Hash, who had been nning on leaving, to suddenly lift up his bandaged left hand. Furthermore, based on what Hash said, she had speciallye to ask about it because she realized that the spiritual energy flow in his left hand and body was imbnced. ¡°At that time, it was unable to continue absorbing the spiritual energy that had gone out of control during the rampage. Therefore, I directly helped it absorb a portion of it through the spirit beast tattoo that was connected to our contract.¡± Listening to Giles¡¯ indifferent words about such a dangerous act, Hash and Rex looked at each other. They could both see the shock in each other¡¯s eyes. Although they had never personally experienced their spirit beast losing control due to a spiritual energy turbulence, they had witnessed it happening many times. The terrifying ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯ was something that even the body of a spirit beast could not withstand. There were many spirit beasts that had been severely injured because they had lost control of their evolution. Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle evolved from Silver-rank to Gold-rank, the ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯ caused by its evolution losing control was not something that a Beast Tamer like Giles, who was not even at the Gold rank, could withstand. That was why Hash and Rex were shocked. In their understanding, if Giles really helped the Metal-feathered Eagle absorb a portion of the spiritual energy from the rampage, even if Giles¡¯ internal organs were not directly torn to pieces by the violent spiritual energy, his left arm that was absorbing the spiritual energy would have exploded from the violent spiritual energy. However, what Hash and Rex did not know was that the Metal-feathered Eagle had not actually started evolving from the Silver rank, but from the Bronze rank. Therefore, when it was preparing to break through to the Gold rank, a portion of its spiritual energy had in fact already been exhausted, and the ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯ it triggered was not thatrge. In addition, after Giles¡¯ left arm absorbed the spirit energy, it was also treated by the Little Fox in a timely manner. With the Little Fox¡¯s spiritual energy as a guide, the violent spiritual energy didn¡¯t continue to destroy Giles¡¯ body. However, arge portion of the spiritual energy was still stuck in Giles¡¯ left arm. If it was not dealt with properly, it would also be a high-risk hidden danger. ¡°I think that¡¯s probably why the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s evolution is iplete.¡± With a grave expression, Hash looked from Giles¡¯ wrist, which she was holding, down to his arm. There were several dark red traces on the gauze along Giles¡¯ left arm. They were left behind after the blood from the wound had dried. ¡°When spirit beasts lose control of their evolution due to the spiritual energy turbulence, the final oue would be a failure in their evolution. Moreover, more than half of the spirit beasts would be severely injured because of the violent spiritual energy after their evolution failed. ¡°Although the Metal-feathered Eagle had also lost control of its evolution due to the spiritual energy explosion, Giles had helped it absorb a portion of the spiritual energy, so it was able to remain unharmed. In fact, a rare sign of an iplete evolution had even appeared.¡± Hash, who kept analyzing, stared at the bloodstained gauze on Giles¡¯ left arm. Her gaze was no longer one of admiration, but of respect. She had also seen the consequences of people intervening in the ¡®spiritual energy storm¡¯ many times. The Beast Tamers who interfered would undoubtedly end up with serious injuries along with their spirit beasts in the end. Therefore, she had nothing but respect for Giles, who was willing to risk his life for a spirit beast. As Hash was almost half a head shorter than Giles, coupled with the fact that she had been looking up from Giles¡¯ wrist from the start, she quickly saw Giles¡¯ handsome face when she raised her head. Giles, who was listening to Hash¡¯s continuous analysis, also had his head slightly lowered. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere momentarily fell silent. Until Giles awkwardly raised the question in his mind, ¡°Uh¡­ Your Excellency Hash, so what special treatment method is there for my left arm?¡± Chapter 77 - The Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtles Body Is Full of Treasures

Chapter 77: The Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle¡¯s Body Is Full of Treasures

As the Little Fox had already instructed Giles previously, Giles had never thought of asking Hash about the problem with his left arm. After finding out that the Little Fox could treat the injuries on his left arm, Giles¡¯ attention had been mainly focused on how to solve the problem of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s iplete evolution. However, to his surprise, Hash noticed the injury on his left arm. Furthermore, her tone had be much gentler. ¡°I do have a method.¡± Hearing Giles¡¯ question, Hash snapped out of it and looked at Giles with interest. ¡°Giles, when you mentioned the ¡®Absorbing Vine¡¯ skill earlier, I could tell that you have a certain level of understanding towards the nt-attribute skills.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll test you on a question now. If you can answer it, I guarantee that I can treat your left arm.¡± Hash¡¯s suggestion intrigued Giles. He didn¡¯t care whether Hash would help him treat the wound on his left arm. The main reason was that Hash seemed to have a pretty good impression of him now. If he could build a good rtionship with Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer, it would be convenient for him to look for her to ask her questions in the future. At the thought of this, Giles¡¯ lips curled up slightly as he nodded at Hash. ¡°No problem, Your Excellency. Please ask.¡± Hash turned around and patted the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that was resting on its back. ¡°What is the most famous proverb rted to the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle?¡± Upon hearing this question, Giles answered without any hesitation, ¡°The entire body of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle is filled with treasures.¡± After subconsciously uttering this answer that even children knew, Giles instantly understood what Hash meant. ¡°Your Excellency Haxi, is there any fruit or herb on your Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that can treat my left arm?¡± Other than growing some mushrooms and moss on its body, the turtle shell on its back could also grow some herbs. As for its tree-like tail, it could also bloom and bear fruits as the seasons passed. Furthermore, be it mushrooms, moss, herbs, or fruits, they were all nurtured by the spiritual energy in the body of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. Therefore, they were very beneficial to the consumer¡¯s body. This was also the reason why the saying ¡°the entire body of the alligator snapping turtle is filled with treasures¡± had been around for a long time. ¡°Bingo!¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ answer to her question, Hash smiled and snapped her fingers at Giles to congratte him on getting it right. With that said, Hash turned around and climbed onto the turtle shell of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. She pulled out a few herbs that were rather eye-catching. Under the sunlight, the dark-blue herbs emitted wisps of mist, as if they had been roasted by the sun. Hash skillfully tied the herbs into a bunch and threw them to Giles, who was standing below. ¡°Giles, this is your reward. Catch this bunch of Pulse Condensation Herb.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Although Giles was surprised that Hash would give him the herb so directly, he still caught the Pulse Condensation Herb that Hash threw over. Then, he examined the Pulse Condensation Herb in his hand. ¡°This is the Pulse Condensation Herb?¡± The Pulse Condensation Herb was dark blue in color, but its icicle-like roots were gradually turning a light blue. There were also several patterns that looked like spiritual energy had frozen on them. Furthermore, under the scorching sun at noon, Giles could feel a chilling from the stalk of Pulse Condensation Herb in his hand. Although Giles could sense through the spiritual energy emitted by the Pulse Condensation Herb that the Pulse Condensation Herb was no ordinary herb, he did not have a deep understanding of the effects of the Pulse Condensation Herb as most of the herbs he usually came into contact with were Bronze and Silver-rank. He only knew that the Pulse Condensation Herb was a Gold-rank herb and that the medicine made from it had the ability to stop bleeding. Just as Giles had his head lowered while thinking about what other effects the Pulse Condensation Herb had, Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, swung his legs and told him the answer. ¡°Although the Pulse Condensation Herb looks hard, as long as you inject some spiritual energy into it, it will quickly soften.¡± ¡°At that time, you can grind all these Pulse Condensation Herb into a paste and smear the paste on your wounds before you sleep every night.¡± ¡°In this way, it can repair the damaged blood vessels on your left arm. Furthermore, the Pulse Condensation Herb can also guide the absorption of spiritual energy.¡± ¡°Therefore, you don¡¯t have to worry about any idents happening when you absorb the spiritual energy.¡± So it¡¯s like that¡­ After learning about the effects of the Pulse Condensation Herb, Giles understood why Hash had given him the Pulse Condensation Herb. If he wanted to resolve the injuries on his left arm from the source, it would not be as simple as healing the wounds on his left arm. Instead, he would have to find a way to absorb all the spiritual energy in his left arm. Otherwise, even if the wound hadpletely healed, it would have burst open again due to the sudden explosion of spiritual energy, resulting in a new wound. Also, if the spiritual energy in his left arm was to explode again, not only would the wound on his left arm be torn open, his entire left arm might also explode and his internal organs might be injured. Giles recalled the instructions the Little Fox had given him previously. In fact, it was the same as Hash¡¯s intentions. The method they proposed was to allow the wound on Giles¡¯ left arm to heal as much as possible. Then, they would guide Giles to absorb the remaining spiritual energy in his left arm. It was just that the Little Fox used the spiritual energy released by its healing skill as a guide, while Hash used the Pulse Condensation Herb as a carrier to guide the spiritual energy. ¡°Since the method that Hash proposed is simr to Little Fox¡¯s, I can ask Little Foxter if I can use both methods.¡± With this in mind, Giles ced the stalk of Pulse Condensation Herb in his hand into his spatial wristband before thanking Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. ¡°Thank you, Your Excellency. If you need any help in the future, you cane to Starlux Gym to look for me.¡± While thanking Hash, Giles also made a promise to him. After all, Hash had helped him several times today. Firstly, when he was unaware of it in the morning, she had helped him deal with the dispute at the Beast Tamer Association branch. Aftering to Starlux Gym, she had also helped his Metal-feathered Eagle resolve the hidden dangers of the remnant beast cores in its body. Now, she had been given a bunch of Pulse Condensation Herb that could treat his left arm. Although it was true that Giles¡¯ abilities were limited now and he might not be able to help Hash much, the favor Hash had given him today was already etched in his heart. ¡°Giles, don¡¯t be so polite.¡± Regarding Giles¡¯ promise, Hash just continued to shake her leg, not taking it to heart at all. However, she still reminded Giles to improve his strength as soon as possible, ¡°But you have to increase your strength first. Don¡¯t wait until I really look to you for help. You haven¡¯t even reached the Gold rank yet.¡± Aside from work reasons, the reason Hash helped Giles today was mostly because she admired and respected Giles. After all, no matter which era it was, there were very few Beast Tamers like Giles who dared to risk their lives for their spirit beasts. Chapter 78 - Why Was Starlux Gym the Only One That Didnt Receive the Notice in Advance?

Chapter 78: Why Was Starlux Gym the Only One That Didn¡¯t Receive the Notice in Advance?

After Hash exined the effect of the Pulse Condensation Herb, she rxed her entire body and fell back, lyingfortably on thewn on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. The Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle could also sense that Hash was lying down. Its tree-like tail curled forward, blocking out the sun for Hash who was lying on its back. ¡°Mr Rex, I¡¯ve already made a trip to thest gym in the base City today.¡± ¡°I should be almost done with work. Can I take a nap?¡± Although Rex addressed Hash respectfully in name, Hash¡¯s rank and status were not much higher than Rex¡¯s. Furthermore, Rex was also an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, so Hash was very respectful to Rex, who was her elder. Even the way she spoke to Rex was like how her granddaughter was whining to her grandfather. She did not have the air of an Elite Beast Tamer at all. ¡°No problem, Your Excellency. Let¡¯s go back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch to have lunch now. You can sleep for a while on the way.¡± Seeing that Hash was very clear about differentiating business and personal matters, Rex wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Previously, when Hash solemnly said that Starlux Gym was to be closed, he was extremely nervous. Furthermore, when Giles stared at Hash and asked her why she was using the ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯, he grew even more afraid that Hash would re up on the spot. Fortunately, Giles, as a qualified Beast Tamer, won Hash¡¯s admiration. He did not bring Hash to Starlux Gym in vain today. Not only did Hash help Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle resolve the problem of its iplete evolution, but she also gave Giles a stalk of Pulse Condensation Herb that could treat the injury on his left arm. However, Giles¡¯ identity as the ¡®Acting Gym Leader¡¯ had not been confirmed yet. Instead, it had caused Starlux Gym to close indefinitely, causing Rex to feel guilty towards Giles. ¡°Giles, you can go back to the gym first. In the next few days, we¡¯ll temporarily open the training area of the gym like Her Excellency Hash said.¡± Rex looked a little embarrassed when he said this to Giles and he sounded very apologetic. Although this was decided by Hash, he was the one who had brought Hash to Starlux Gym. Moreover, he hadn¡¯t expected so many idents to have happened to Giles during this period. Giles could tell that Rex felt apologetic towards him, and he also knew that Rex had done what he did today out of goodwill. However, he actually didn¡¯t care about the identity of the ¡®Acting Gym Leader¡¯. He was more concerned about other problems. ¡°Your Excellency, before you leave, I would like to ask, why didn¡¯t Starlux Gym receive the notice that it would be closed in advance?¡± ¡°Since the other gym leaders rushed to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s district branches this morning, it means that Starlux Gym was the only exception.¡± ¡°Logically speaking, when the staff of the Beast Tamer Association gave the notice in advance, they definitely wouldn¡¯t make such a low-level mistake.¡± ¡°After thinking about it, I can only think of one reason. That is, the Beast Tamer Association doesn¡¯t want me to know why they closed the gym.¡± Giles chose this moment to raise the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time because he realized that Hash seemed to have a pretty good impression of him. Although Giles had already made a rough guess about the reason why the Beast Tamer Association had all the Beast-taming Gyms close one by one, he still needed Hash to give him a general direction. This was because in Giles¡¯ opinion, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s sudden announcement that all Beast-taming Gyms would be closed one after another was most likely rted to the future development of the Beast-taming Gyms. He could not let Starlux Gym fall behind other Beast-taming Gyms in this regard. For Giles, Starlux Gym was a home he had grown up in. Now that Gym Leader Alice was not in Starlux Gym, even if Giles was not the ¡°Acting Gym Leader¡±, he had to be responsible for the future of Starlux Gym. Rex was standing beside Giles, ready to head back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch with Hash. After hearing Giles¡¯ question, he stopped in his tracks and frowned. Although he was also very curious as to why the Beast Tamer Association had made all the Beast-taming Gyms close their doors, he was, after all, a Commander of the City Guards who belonged to the Beast Tamer Alliance. He did not have the right to ask about any arrangements made by the Beast Tamer Association. ¡°Ahem. Your Excellency, I¡¯ll head over to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch first and get them to prepare lunch in advance.¡± As Giles¡¯ question concerned the internal arrangements of the Beast Tamer Association, Rex also realized that it was not suitable for him to stay here. He coughed and raised his head to look at Hash who had just sat up on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. He proposed for him to head back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s District Branch first. ¡°Mr Rex, it¡¯s alright. You don¡¯t have to leave in a hurry.¡± Giles¡¯ heart sank when he heard Hash stop Rex, who was about to avoid the topic. He had chosen this moment to raise the question because Rex was the Commander of the City Guards of the Beast Tamer Alliance. Whether Hash let Rex avoid the question after hearing it was the standard for Giles to gauge if he could hear the answer from Hash. If Hash allowed Rex to leave first, it would mean that she nned to tell him the insider information of the Beast Tamer Association, but if it was the current situation¡­ With this in mind, Giles looked up at Hash, who was shaking her legs on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. After Hash stopped Rex, who was about to leave, she turned around and began to me Giles. ¡°Giles, can¡¯t you let me have a good nap?¡± Hash said while scratching her head resignedly. ¡°Giles, seriously, you surprised me a lot today.¡± ¡°However, regarding the reason as to why the Beast Tamer Association is closing all the Beast-taming Gyms one by one, the information I have is actually only slightly more than yours.¡± ¡°For example, I know why the Beast Tamer Association didn¡¯t inform your Starlux Gym.¡± Even an Elite Beast Tamer doesn¡¯t know much about this matter? Giles couldn¡¯t help but frown at Hash¡¯s answer. From the tone of Hash¡¯s reply, Hash didn¡¯t seem to be lying to him. Giles then continued the topic that Hash threw out. ¡°I just checked the official ount of our Starlux Gym, and indeed, I didn¡¯t receive any notice about the gym closure. Why is that?¡± ¡°The reason is very simple¡­¡± Hash yawned as she spoke. ¡°That is, when the Beast Tamer Association notified the Beast-taming Gyms in advance, they did not send it to the official ount of the Beast-taming Gyms, but to the personal ount of the Gym Leaders of the Beast-taming Gyms.¡± ¡°Therefore, just like you said earlier, the Beast Tamer Association indeed doesn¡¯t want you to know the reason for closing the gym.¡± ¡°And it¡¯s not just you. Other than the Gym Leaders, no one knows why the other Beast-taming Gyms are temporarily closed.¡± ¡°As for the specific reason, everyone will only know when the other Beast-taming Gyms are opened.¡± Chapter 79 - The Relationship between Hash and Alice

Chapter 79: The Rtionship between Hash and Alice

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Your Excellency Hash, thank you for exining it to me.¡± Hearing Hash¡¯s exnation, Giles nodded slightly. The situation was simr to what he had imagined. The reason as to why the Beast Tamer Association had the Beast-taming Gyms close one after another, was probably highly confidential. The reason why Starlux Gym did not receive the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s gym closure notice in advance was because the notice had been sent directly to Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. At that moment, Gym Leader Alice was not in Starlux Gym. Even if she had received the notice, she could not have rushed to the Beast Tamer Association to maintain order during the dispute. However, what confused Giles was that Gym Leader Alice hadn¡¯t contacted him recently. Now that she was faced with such a huge matter of Starlux Gym closing, she actually did not tell him after receiving the notice. Did something happen to Gym Leader Alice? When this thought appeared in his mind, Giles decided to find a time to contact Aliceter. ¡°Giles, I told you not to be so polite. Don¡¯t call me Your Excellency Hash.¡± After her impression of Giles changed, Hash felt a little strange when she heard Giles address her as ¡®Your Excellency¡¯. ¡°Alice and I were born in the same year. I should be only two or three years older than you. You can just call me Sister Hash.¡± Giles was thinking of ways to contact Gym Leader Aliceter. When he heard Hash mention Gym Leader Alice¡¯s age, Giles suddenly picked up a clue. He tried to remember some of the things that Hash had said previously, until he remembered the first sentence that Hash said when she arrived at Starlux Gym, ¡°Is this Alice¡¯s Starlux Gym?¡± Realization dawned on Giles as he recalled where he had heard the name ¡®Hash¡¯ before. If he remembered correctly, Hash should be a university ssmate of Alice¡¯s from the Beast Tamer University in the nearby nge City. The two of them were friends who had lived in the same dorm for four years and were alsopetitors in various projects in university. Therefore, every time Alice came back from college on a long vacation, she would talk to Giles about some of her and Hash¡¯s exploits. It was said that the two of them had made a bet that they would see whose achievements were greater three years after graduation. Giles had no idea what they had bet on. However, Alice chose to return to Starlux Gym after graduating from university and became the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym in less than three years. Hash, on the other hand, seemed to be a local from nge City. Therefore, after Alice graduated and left nge City, the two of them temporarily stopped all contact because of that bet. However, what Giles did not expect was that Hash, whom Gym Leader Alice would always mention to him when she was reminiscing about her university life, had now be the youngest Elite Beast Tamer and had evene to their base city to take office. After realising who Hash was, Giles looked up at Hash, who was shaking her legs on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, and asked tentatively, ¡°Sister Hash, were you Alice¡¯s university ssmate back in nge City?¡± ¡°Huh? Alice actually mentioned me to you?¡± When Hash heard Giles call her by a new nickname and was even asking if she was Alice¡¯s university ssmate, she immediately became excited. She turned her head and waved at Rex, gesturing for him to head back to the Beast Tamer Association first to prepare lunch. ¡°Mr Rex, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to head back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch first. By the way, just prepare a vegetable sd for me for lunch.¡± Although Rex was surprised that Hash and Alice were ssmates in college, he knew that the next topic would probably be about Hash¡¯s personal matters. Furthermore, since Hash had taken the initiative to ask him to go back first, it was not convenient for him to stay here. Rex sighed in his heart after saying goodbye to Hash and Giles. As expected of the top Beast Tamer University in Florida. They actually nurtured Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, and the youngest Elite Beast Tamer, Hash. ¡°Sister Hash, when Gym Leader Alice was in university, every time she returned to the gym during the holidays, she would mention thepetition and exploits between the two of you.¡± Seeing that Rex had left after saying goodbye, Giles reassuredly recounted Alice and Hash¡¯s experiences, ¡°I heard from Gym Leader Alice that she and Sister Hashpeted almost a thousand times in the four years you were in university, but the results were pretty much a 50-50 split.¡± When it came to winning or losing, Giles had especially kept it to himself that Gym Leader Alice would always say that hers and Hash¡¯s wins and losses were a 60-40 split, with her win rate reaching up to sixty percent. When Hash heard Giles mention the numbers of wins and losses in her matches with Alice, she also smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me, Giles. I know as much about Alice as you do.¡± ¡°Based on her personality, even if our wins and losses are not much different, as long as she wins a few more matches than me, she will say it¡¯s a 60-40 split rather than a 50-50 split.¡± Seeing that Hash had exposed him the moment she opened his mouth, Giles scratched his head awkwardly. Hash smiled as she sat on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and swung her long legs. She felt that Giles, who had looked serious and stern previously, was a little cute when he looked embarrassed. ¡°Giles, you¡¯ve already called me Sister Hash, so don¡¯t add a ¡®Gym Leader¡¯ to the name when you call Alice.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, isn¡¯t she your elder sister who grew up with you?¡± ¡°Oh, this¡­¡± Upon hearing Hash mention this problem, Giles frankly revealed his rtionship with Alice. ¡°Actually, I was adopted by the previous Gym Leader. I should be considered Alice¡¯s family.¡± When Giles mentioned his ¡°family,¡± he also stopped joking. Recalling that he hadn¡¯t contacted Alice in a long time, he felt a little worried. Even if Alice had the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, she was investigating a Mythic-rank spirit beast after all. He wondered what was going on with Alice now. At the thought of this, Giles probed, ¡°Sister Hash, when Alice left Starlux Gym previously, she told me that she was going to investigate the traces of Mythic-rank spirit beasts.¡± ¡°Many days have passed now. I listened to her arrangements previously and didn¡¯t contact her.¡± ¡°However, this time, we encountered such a huge matter of the gym being closed temporarily. Even though she received the news from the Beast Tamer Association in advance, she didn¡¯t contact me to make any preparations.¡± ¡°Sister Hash, when you return to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch, can you help me contact Alice?¡± Chapter 80 - Hashs Plan

Chapter 80: Hash¡¯s n

¡°Giles, you really don¡¯t have to worry about Alice at all.¡± Seeing that Giles was worried about Alice¡¯s safety, Hash¡¯s tone became much more serious. ¡°Our Beast Tamer Association can ensure that Alice had received the notice of the gym closure in advance, but it¡¯s indeed not convenient for her to contact us now.¡± ¡°I was also entrusted by the Beast Tamer Association to rush to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch this morning to help the City Guards maintain order on behalf of Alice, who couldn¡¯t make it.¡± ¡°As for the investigation team that Alice is in, ever since they fought with the Beast Blood Sect, which is also investigating Mythic-rank spirit beasts, the investigation team has changed.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know the exact number of people, but all the Gold-rank Beast Tamers in the team have been withdrawn. The team is filled with at least Epic-rank Beast Tamers. It¡¯s said that there are a few Legend-rank Beast Tamers leading the team.¡± When he heard from Hash that there were several Legend-rank Beast Tamers in the investigation team, Giles heaved a sigh of relief. A Legend-rank Beast Tamer had the ability to protect a city under the impact of a beast tide on their own. With several Legend-rank Beast Tamers as the leaders of the investigation team, even if they were no match for Mythic-rank spirit beasts, they could ensure that all the investigators could escape unscathed. ¡°Hah, since there¡¯s Legend-rank Beast Tamers leading the team, I can rest assured.¡± ¡°In that case, Mr Giles, can I go back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch to eat my vegetable sd?¡± Hash suddenly switched to the tone of a subordinate asking her superior, leaving Giles at a loss. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Giles then snapped out of it. He had troubled Hash a lot today. ¡°Sister Hash, it¡¯s been hard on you today. Take care.¡± ¡°Alright, alright. Don¡¯t be so polite. Close the door of the gym first. I¡¯ll tell you if there¡¯s any news from Alice.¡± Hash raised her hand and broke a leaf from the tree tail that the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle had used to shield her from the sun. He watched as shey on thewn on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and used the leaf as a fan and began to fan herself. ¡°Let¡¯s head back, Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle.¡± Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle began to move, another slight vibration came from under Giles¡¯ feet. Giles watched as the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle gradually disappeared into the distance. He couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. Why is Hash¡¯s style so different from what Alice described previously? In Alice¡¯s description, Giles had always thought that Hash was a hardworking genius. Hence, when he first saw the sleepy Hash today, he did not recognize her. Did something happen to Hash in the three years after they graduated from university that made her be sozy and nonchnt? ¡°Hah, so many things have happened today¡­¡± Giles closed the door of Starlux Gym and returned to his little wooden hut in the spirit-beast section. ¡°Fortunately, most of it is more or less resolved.¡± Giles took out pen and paper and began drafting his training n. Next up, the most important thing is to train the Metal-feathered Eagle and improve my strength. Meanwhile, after seeing Giles return to the gym and close the door behind him, Hash, who was looking rxed and content, fanned herself with the leaf andmented subconsciously, ¡°Alice, oh Alice, your younger brother has given me a huge surprise.¡± Even if Rex did not take the initiative to bring her to Starlux Gym today, she would have asked Rex to lead the way because she still had the mission from the Beast Tamer Association. Initially, Hash was very excited when she received the notification from the Beast Tamer Association that she was going to Starlux Gym. This was because she knew that herpetitor, Alice, was the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Now that there was less than half a year left until the end of their three-year bet, she, who was already an Elite Beast Tamer, wanted to announce her victory to Alice in advance. However, she did not expect that the reason the Beast Tamer Association wanted her to go to Starlux Gym was because the investigation team that Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was in, had suddenly lost contact with them when they were investigating the traces of Mythic-rank spirit beasts in the Hengduan Mountain Range. Although the Beast Tamer Association had already contacted the local Beast Tamer Alliance to send out Legend-rank Beast Tamers to investigate, it was impossible for Starlux Gym to not have a Gym Leader for such a long time. Therefore, after the Beast Tamer Association learned that the Elite Beast Tamer, Haxi, who had just gone to Yin City, was Gym Leader Alice¡¯s university ssmate, they asked her to evaluate whether Giles, who was the dark horse representing Starlux Gym, had the ability to be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. However, a few days ago, when she first arrived at this base city, Hash had met with the other Gym Leaders. Among all the Gym Leaders, only Giles, the so-called ¡°Acting Gym Leader,¡± was not at Starlux Gym. As a result, she had no choice but toe to Starlux Gym to specially meet Giles toplete the mission from the Beast Tamer Association. After Hash broke through to the Epic rank, the power she came into contact with was the Dreand Power of Nature. In order to enter the Legend rank as soon as possible, she needed to spend more than half of her time sleeping every day. Her trip to Starlux Gym had actually taken up quite a bit of her time, so her initial impression of Giles was actually quite bad. The dark horse that won the championship in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament? A 23-year-old Epic-rank Beast Tamer? That sounds impressive. However, in Hash¡¯s view, Giles, as the ¡®Acting Gym Leader¡¯, had not been at Starlux Gym for so many days. Just this point was enough to make Hash disqualify Giles from being the Gym Leader. But what Hash did not expect was that although Giles was not even a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now, whether it was his character or his attitude towards spirit beasts, he was already a qualified Beast Tamer. He waspletely in line with the requirements of being the Gym Leader. ¡°Sigh, when we get back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch, I still have to watch the recording of Giles participating in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament to determine his ability tomand spirit beasts.¡± ¡°If hismanding ability also passes, then next, I just have to think of a way to increase Giles¡¯ strength to the Gold rank and help him train his spirit beasts. Then, I can directly let him be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.¡± Hash, who was talking to herself about arranging her own work, suddenly smiled. Although the Beast Tamer Association couldn¡¯t get in touch with Alice¡¯s investigation team, Hash, who regarded Alice as apetitor, was not worried about Alice. For Alice to be able to quickly advance to the Epic rank and be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym in less than three years, she must havee across some fortuitous encounter like her. ¡°Alice, I wonder what your expression will be when you return to Starlux Gym and see that Giles is already the Gym Leader.¡± Chapter 81 - Regaining Ones Pride as a Beast Tamer!

Chapter 81: Regaining One¡¯s Pride as a Beast Tamer!

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The sun rose in the east and the sky turned white. The first ray of morning sunlight prated through the dome of the greenhouse in the spirit-beast section and illuminated the small wooden hut in the forest. Feeling the sunlighting through the crack in the window, Giles¡¯ closed eyes lifted slightly. Giles, who was gradually waking up, slowly raised his left hand to block out the sunlight. Then, he opened his eyes slightly and propped himself up with his right arm before sitting up on the bed. Just as Giles was about to get up and wash up, he suddenly realized that his legs were numb. Rubbing his eyes gently with his hand, Giles found the Little Fox sleeping on his nket with its head on his leg. ¡°Hah¡­¡± Looking at the sleeping Little Fox, Giles sighed softly. He had actually been wanting to make a nest for Little Fox all this while. However, for some reason, the Little Fox stuck to him when it slept. Therefore, every day when Giles woke up, he could see the scene of the Little Fox sleeping on his leg. However, even though he was sighing, Giles was already familiar with the current situation. He slowly reached his hands under the nket and gently lifted the Little Fox up. Then, he quietly moved his legs away from the Little Fox¡¯s body. After moving his legspletely away from the Little Fox, Giles ced the Little Fox on the bed again and slowly pulled out his hands. Seeing that the Little Fox didn¡¯t show any signs of waking up, Giles, who was holding his breath, slowly heaved a sigh of relief. He knew very well that this little princess¡¯ temper was much bigger than her body. However, looking at the cute Little Fox who was sleeping soundly, Giles, who wanted to take a tinge of ¡°revenge¡±, couldn¡¯t help but touch her. As for the Little Fox, it merely wagged its tail nonchntly at Giles¡¯ caress before curling up and falling asleep in a different posture. When his numb legs gradually regained consciousness, Giles got up and washed up. After Giles washed up, he had just put down his cup and toothbrush when he heard a gentle knock on the wooden door. Giles¡¯ first reaction when he heard the knock on the door was to turn around and look at the clock on the table. [Morning, 5:26] ¡°Alright, two minutes earlier today than the day before.¡± After silently making this evaluation, Giles tiptoed to the door and opened it. Looking at the heaving chest of the Metal-feathered Eagle standing outside the door, Giles reached out his right hand and stroked its head approvingly. ¡°You did well, Metal-feathered Eagle. You were two minutes earlier than yesterday.¡± ¡°Right now, the timing you take to fly ten rounds around the entire Starlux Gym has more or less stabilised to less than thirty minutes.¡± The Metal-feathered Eaglefortably enjoyed the Giles¡¯ caress. Then, it proposed the next training program to Giles. ¡°Giles, let¡¯s go and run now!¡± ¡°No problem, but I have to stretch my entire body first to prevent any leg cramps during the run,¡± Giles said as he walked out of the wooden hut and began to stretch himself at the door. Seeing this, the Metal-feathered Eagle mimicked Giles¡¯ actions and stretched its four ws. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, did you lose your bnce during your recent flights?¡± While he was still stretching, Giles asked about the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s recent flight status. On the same afternoon that Rex brought Hash to Starlux Gym, Giles came up with a training n based on the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s body. From the next day on, Giles, with his left arm that had yet to recover, had been supervising the training of the Metal-feathered Eagle from five o¡¯clock in the morning. As for why he woke up so early to train, it was also because Starlux Gym was in the same situation as the other Beast-taming Gyms. Although the gym was temporarily closed under the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s notice, the training area of the gym was still opened to other Beast Tamers for their spirit beasts¡¯ training as usual. Therefore, from 7a.m. to 7p.m. every day, Giles¡¯ main focus was still on managing the training ground for Starlux Gym. Although he could also find time to use the training ground to train the Metal-feathered Eagle during this period, the effect of this training was actually not as good as him waking up early in the morning and focusing on training the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, the Metal-feathered Eagle was also concerned about Giles, who was still injured. The next day, it had wobbled as it mastered the technique of controlling its body¡¯s bnce while flying. Thus, from the third day onwards, the Metal-feathered Eagle said that it could steady itself and maintain its flight. It wanted Giles to sleep a little longer, but Giles, who worried about the Metal-feathered Eagle, insisted on getting up early. It was not until two dayster, when the Metal-feathered Eagle could finally p its wings and agilely perform various movements in the air, that Giles proposed to the Metal-feathered Eagle the next training program for flying. In other words, he would train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s endurance by having it fly ten rounds around the entire Starlux Gym. Now, it had been two weeks since Giles returned to Starlux Gym, and the time it took for the Metal-feathered Eagle to fly ten rounds around Starlux Gym had gradually reduced from the initial forty to fifty minutes to less than half an hour. ¡°I didn¡¯t. Right now, flying ten rounds around Starlux Gym is just a warm-up for me.¡± As the Metal-feathered Eagle had already flown ten rounds, it took much less time than Giles to stretch its body in its warmed-up state. As if to prove its flying ability, the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and flew into the air. It began to disy all kinds of flying skills in front of Giles ¨C spinning, rising, turning sideways, anding to an abrupt stop. Looking at the various flying techniques disyed by the Metal-feathered Eagle, Giles felt very pleased. In the two weeks that he had been training the Metal-feathered Eagle, not only had its various abilities improved, but he had also gradually regained his pride as a Beast Tamer. Presently, he was no longer the silly kid that had relied on telling stories to forcefully increase the strength of his spirit beasts. Even if his current strength had yet to reach the Gold rank that Hash mentioned, he was still a genuine Silver-rank Beast Tamer. He was not the lucky one who had obtained an Epic-rank Beast Tamer badge by relying on a few powerful spirit beasts. ¡°Okay, I can tell that you¡¯re in a warmed-up state.¡± Seeing the Metal-feathered Eagle steadily stop in front of him and lower its head to ask for a pet, Giles, who had just finished his warm-up exercises, habitually stroked its head. ¡°By the way, about the remaining beast cores in your body, do you still feel any difort when you absorb them through the vine belt?¡± When it heard Giles ask about the remaining beast-core energy in its body, the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly became excited. ¡°Giles, after flying around the entire Starlux Gym ten times today, the remaining beast core spiritual energy in my body was finally fully absorbed by the vine belt!¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so? Let me see!¡± Giles was also happy for the Metal-feathered Eagle when he heard the news. He quickly squatted down and checked the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s vine belt. During the past two weeks, every time the Metal-feathered Eagle absorbed spiritual energy, he would stand aside cautiously in a nervous mood, ready to deal with the situation of its spiritual energy losing control. Now that the Metal-feathered Eagle had told him that all its spiritual energy had been absorbed by the vine belt, he could finally rx. Giles realized that the vine belt was in a fully-charged state as usual and there was nothing unusual about it, so he reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, as long as you slowly absorb the spiritual energy in the vine belt, you can try to break through to the Gold rank.¡± ¡°Therefore, you must not be anxious now. Let¡¯s continue training steadily. You will definitely break through in the next few days!¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle nodded. Ever since thest ident, it would not act rashly on its own. ¡°Okay! Giles, I¡¯ll listen to you!¡± Giles slowly stood up and pointed towards the exit of the spirit-beast section. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s begin the next training program. We¡¯ll run threeps around Starlux Gym!¡± Chapter 82 - Laying the Foundation to Learn Fighting Skills

Chapter 82: Laying the Foundation to Learn Fighting Skills

At the core of the series of training ns that Giles hade up with, the most important thing was to use these training sessions to help the Metal-feathered Eagle ovee the problems it faced due to its iplete evolution. For example, having the Metal-feathered Eagle fly around Starlux Gym ten times a day was to train its bnce and endurance. He had taught it flying skills to train its reaction speed and control. As for Giles, he was running with the Metal-feathered Eagle now because he realized that after the Metal-feathered Eagle grew its two arms, its body shape had already met the requirements of a ¡°human-shaped spirit beast¡±. ¡°Human-shaped spirit beasts¡± were as their name suggested, no matter howrge they were, their bodies were simr to that of humans. Therefore, ¡®human-shaped spirit beasts¡¯ could more or less learn thebat skills invented by humans during the initial period of the spiritual energy resurgence to fight against the ferocious beasts. After Giles asked the Metal-feathered Eagle about its opinion, he realized how determined it was to be as strong as the Garuda in the story. Thus, while Giles was drafting a training n for the Metal-feathered Eagle, he had already begun toy the foundation for the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s future learning ofbat skills. Due to its iplete evolution, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s ws on its chest not only affected its flying bnce, but also its running bnce. Therefore, Giles¡¯ first step inying the foundation for the Metal-feathered Eagle was to train it to run on its hind legs. This was the same reason why the Metal-feathered Eagle flew around the Starlux Gym. It was to train its bnce and endurance. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, it¡¯s been two weeks since we started waking up in the morning to run.¡± Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle ran around Starlux Gym three times before returning to the spirit-beast section. On the way to the wooden hut in the forest, Giles couldn¡¯t help but praise the Metal-feathered Eagle, ¡°Your improvements have been evident over the past two weeks. You can almost catch up with me now.¡± Although the Metal-feathered Eagle had absorbed most of the remaining beast core energy in its body over the past two weeks, its body did not change much. It was a little taller, but it was still only about a meter tall. It just about reached Giles¡¯ waist. Therefore, when it ran with Giles, it had to take two or three steps for every step that Giles took. Otherwise, even if Giles had been jogging, it would not have been able to keep up with Giles¡¯ pace. The reason Giles praised the Metal-feathered Eagle for its obvious improvement was not just because its speed had increased. ¡°Yeah, Giles. Two weeks ago, I could barely walk, let alone run.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ praise, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes narrowed into slits. Hearing that the Metal-feathered Eagle mentioned two weeks ago, Giles recalled his first run with the Metal-feathered Eagle. The running n that he had designed for the Metal-feathered Eagle was divided into several stages. Now, ¡°Running threeps around Starlux Gym¡± was the second stage of ¡°endurance training,¡± while the first stage was ¡°Bnce Training¡±. When Giles first brought the Metal-feathered Eagle to do a hundred-meter sprint, he had looked back when he reached the finishing point. The Metal-feathered Eagle, which was wobbling on its feet, could not run at all. As long as it took arger step, it would lose its bnce and fall over. Thus, Giles patiently began by teaching the Metal-feathered Eagle how to walk. It was only then that he realized the main problem with the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s inability to control its bnce while walking. That was, it still couldn¡¯t control the way its arms moved as it walked. As a result, whether it was walking or running, it would lose its bnce and fall to the side because its hands and feet on the same side of the body move at the same time as it walked. Therefore, in order to solve the Metal-feathered Eagle bncing problem, Giles spent two to three days correcting its walking posture. Untilst week, the Metal-feathered Eagle could finally maintain its bnce when it walked and ran. Although it wasn¡¯t running very quickly at that time and Giles had to wait for it at the finishing point for three to four seconds after their hundred-meter sprint, Giles would always stand at the finishing point and smile at theical sight of the clumsy Metal-feathered Eagle trying to run. However, it was not a mocking smile, but a smile that encouraged the Metal-feathered Eagle. Just like that, after two weeks of hard work by Giles and the Metal Feather Eagle, the Metal Feather Eagle gradually went from being unable to walk steadily to gradually catching up to Giles with its running speed. Furthermore, after it could control its body¡¯s bnce, it sessfully entered the second stage of Giles¡¯ running n, which was ¡°Running threeps around Starlux Gym¡±. As a training ground mainly for Beast Tamers and spirit beasts, Starlux Gym was simr to other Beast-taming Gyms and was divided into several areas. Therefore, be it Starlux Gym or other Beast-taming Gyms, the area they upied was not small. It could basically be considered arge park with all kinds of equipment. In fact, a Beast-taming Gym that waspletely developed and in operation, could be considered a theme park with a different style. It could also be a unique sight-seeing spot in the base city and had a certain value in touring it. After running three rounds around Starlux Gym, Giles¡¯ clothes were already drenched in sweat. The chest of the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was following behind him, rose and fell incessantly as it breathed in the fresh air in the spirit-beast section. Seeing that Giles¡¯ bandaged left hand was dripping with sweat, the Metal-feathered Eagle went over to Giles and asked worriedly, ¡°Giles, how are the injuries on your left arm?¡± ¡°This? Didn¡¯t I mention this oncest week? The wound on my left arm has pretty much healed.¡± Giles raised his left arm and waved it at the Metal-feathered Eagle twice. ¡°But because I have to absorb spiritual energy through applying the Pulse Condensation Grass every day, I have to constantly rece it with new gauze.¡± ¡°Ah! We¡¯re here!¡± As they chatted along the way, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle returned to the door of the wooden hut. ¡°Shh! Let¡¯s be softer. It¡¯s still early. Little Fox might not be awake yet.¡± Giles gestured at the Metal-feathered Eagle tomunicate telepathically if it had anything to say. Then, Giles reached out his right hand and patted the Metal-feathered Eagle on the head. ¡°I¡¯ll go in and wipe off my sweat first. Wait for me at the door.¡± ¡°When Ie out, we¡¯ll go to the evaluation area to continue the remaining training segments.¡± Seeing the Metal-feathered Eagle nod obediently, Giles turned around, opened the door, and walked into the wooden hut. Just as he took off his clothes and was about to wipe his body with a towel, the Little Fox¡¯s voice rang out from the bed behind him. ¡°So do you still want to continue with the rehabilitation training for your left arm today?¡± Chapter 83 - Good Night... Oh, Thats Not Right, It Should be Good Morning

Chapter 83: Good Night... Oh, That¡¯s Not Right, It Should be Good Morning

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°That¡¯s right. It has already gone on for a week. We can¡¯t give up halfway, right?¡± Giles wasn¡¯t surprised to hear Little Fox¡¯s voiceing from behind him. Instead, he continued to wipe his body with a towel. From the first day he started raining the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Little Fox would pretty much be awake by the time he ran back to the wooden hut in the morning. The reason why the Little Fox woke up so early with Giles and the others was also to help Giles treat the injuries on his left arm. Every night before going to sleep, Giles would smear the paste of the Pulse Condensation Herb on the wound on his left arm, as Hash had instructed. When the pastepletely solidified on the wound, the medicine would take effect. Therefore, the next morning was the best opportunity for the Little Fox and Giles to heal his left arm and guide his spiritual energy. Under the Little Fox¡¯s treatment and guidance, Giles¡¯ body had also improved greatly after two weeks of continuous exercise. The most obvious manifestation was that his originally thin and weak body had be muscr and powerful. Furthermore, the wounds on his left arm had almost healed. Hence, starting fromst week, Giles had begun training his left arm. After wiping off all the sweat on his body, Giles began to skillfully remove the gauze on his left arm. As strips of gauze with dark blue paste fell to the ground, Giles¡¯ injured left arm gradually revealed itself. The scars that had just healed looked especially ferocious and terrifying against the dark blue paste. However, Giles pointed to the scar on his left arm and smiled at the Little Fox as he said, ¡°Besides, your treatment and the effect of your rehabilitation training is not bad.¡± ¡°Awoo¡­¡± The sleepy Little Fox rubbed its eyes with its two paws and yawned. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the effect of the paste of the Pulse Condensation Grass that your Sister Hash gave you, is good?¡± ¡°My treatment is only based on the foundation of the Pulse Condensation Grass to help you absorb spiritual energy faster.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that¡­¡± When he heard that the Little Fox had given all the credit for healing his left arm to Hash, Giles emphasized the importance of the Little Fox¡¯s treatment to him, ¡°If you hadn¡¯t given my left arm an emergency protective treatment when I was unconscious and helped me guide the spiritual energy in my body after I woke up, I might not have been able to live to see Sister Hash, let alone obtain the Pulse Condensation Grass to treat my left arm.¡± ¡°I¡­ I only helped to heal you because we¡¯re contracted!¡± When the Little Fox, who was lying on the bed, heard Giles¡¯ words, it suddenly sat up and mentioned her contract with Giles. Seeming to have realized that its actions were a little too dramatic, the Little Fox paused for a second before calmly analyzing the rtionship between Beast Tamers and spirit beasts to Giles, ¡°If your body is destroyed by that violent spiritual energy, I will also be severely injured because of the contract.¡± However, judging from the way she kept wagging her furry little tail, she was not as calm as she looked. Moreover, when she was saying these words, she had turned her head to the side and looked out the window, not daring to meet Giles¡¯ eyes at all. When Giles, who was standing at the side, saw the Little Fox behaving like this, he suppressed his smile and washed the towel in his hand before hanging it up. Seeing that Giles suddenly stopped talking, the Little Fox tried to turn its head and nced in Giles¡¯ direction. Looking at Giles who was hanging up the towel, the Little Fox couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed and angry when she realized that her thoughts had been seen through. ¡°Alright! Since you still insist on continuing with the rehabilitation exercises for your left arm, I won¡¯t advise you against it anymore.¡± ¡°Come here quickly and finish the treatment for guiding the spiritual energy on your left arm. I still need to sleep!¡± When he heard the Little Fox starting to change the topic, Giles decided not to expose her. He walked to the bed and went along with the Little Fox¡¯s topic. ¡°Oh? Aren¡¯t youing to supervise our training today?¡± When Giles mentioned the rehabilitation of his left arm to the Little Foxst week, the Little Fox waspletely against it. However, at that time, Giles had also insisted that rehabilitation training could help him to absorb the spiritual energy in his left arm. Seeing that Giles was so determined, the Little Fox had no choice but to agree. However, every morning, after she finished the treatment to guide the spiritual energy in Giles¡¯ left arm, she would follow Giles to the evaluation section of Starlux Gym. While Giles did his rehabilitation exercises for his left arm, she, who was standing at the side, was also prepared to deal with him losing control of his spiritual energy at any time. ¡°I¡¯m not going!¡± Although the Little Fox said that she wouldn¡¯t supervise Giles in his rehabilitation training, when she saw Giles reaching out his left arm to her, she still slowly opened her narrowed eyes as usual. As the peach blossom in the Little Fox¡¯s eyes glowed faintly, a ball of pale pink spiritual energy enveloped Giles¡¯ left arm. Giles could feel that under the guidance of the Little Fox¡¯s spiritual energy, he could use the paste from the Pulse Condensation Herb as a carrier and begin to steadily absorb the spiritual energy in his left arm. A few secondster, the pale pink spiritual energy gradually fused into Giles¡¯ left arm, which also meant that the treatment to guide the spiritual energy was over. However, the Little Fox suddenly began to me Giles, ¡°I¡¯ve been doing rehabilitation training for your left arm for a week. In the past week, I¡¯ve been supervising your training every day, but when has the spiritual energy in your left arm ever gone out of control?¡± ¡°In any case, I don¡¯t care. Even if you tell me to go today, I won¡¯t go. I want to make up for my past week¡¯s sleep!¡± As if to prove its determination to go back to sleep, the Little Fox even stretched out its little paws and wrapped Giles¡¯ nket around itself, leaving only its furry little tail wagging outside the nket. The Little Fox¡¯s suggestion reminded Giles of a simr situation. In order to prevent a fire at home, someone had specially bought a fire extinguisher and ced it at home. In the end, that person realized that even after all the fire extinguishers he had bought had expired, there was still no fire at his house. ¡°Oh? You¡¯re really not going today?¡± Looking at the furry little tail swaying in front of his eyes, Giles subconsciously grabbed it and pinched it when he asked the Little Fox. ¡°Ah!¡± Apanied by a cry of surprise, the Little Fox abruptly hid its little tail under the nket. ¡°Ah?¡± Looking at the nket that kept pping around on his bed, Giles was momentarily at a loss. ¡°I¡¯m not going! I¡¯m not going no matter what!¡± After the nket pped for a few seconds, the Little Fox popped its head out from under the nket and shook its head vigorously. ¡°Alright then, hope you have a good sleep.¡± Seeing the Little Fox¡¯s reaction, Giles knew that he couldn¡¯t touch her tail anymore. He waved at the Little Fox and hurriedly walked out of the door. Before closing the door, Giles, who was standing at the door, even turned around to bid farewell to the little fox, ¡°Goodnight¡­ Oh, that¡¯s not right, good morning.¡± Creak¡­ As the door of the wooden hut closed, the entire wooden hut fell into a short silence. Until the Little Fox pulled the nket away. She rubbed her face in frustration. ¡°Ahhh! Why am I still worried about that guy?!¡± Chapter 84 - Metal-Feathered Eagles Finger Exercises

Chapter 84: Metal-Feathered Eagle¡¯s Finger Exercises

¡°Giles, did you disturb the Little Fox¡¯s sleep again?¡± On the way from the wooden hut in the spirit-beast section to the Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section, the Metal-feathered Eagle beside Giles asked this question curiously. It had been standing outside the wooden hut the entire time, so it wasn¡¯t sure what had happened between Giles and the Little Fox. However, from the Little Fox¡¯s sudden exmation and Giles¡¯ embarrassed expression when he came out, Giles had clearly angered the Little Fox. ¡°Little Fox is your doctor after all. We better not disturb her rest.¡± ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, why did you say that I woke her up ¡°again¡±?¡± Hearing the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly start persuading him earnestly like an adult, Giles also felt that it was a little cute for being so pure. Over the past two weeks, Giles discovered that the Metal-feathered Eagle and the Little Fox¡¯s spirituality were much higher than those of the spirit beast cubs. If those spirit beast cubs wereparable to human children who were a few years old, then the Metal-feathered Eagle was almost at the level of secondary school students. As for the Little Fox, Giles felt that she was very mature and calm at times, but at other times, she was like a child who liked to whine and throw tantrums. ¡°Because this situation has already happened twice this week!¡± As the Metal-feathered Eagle spoke, it turned its head to look at Giles and extended two fingers towards Giles with its hand. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s not right. Including today, it should be three times.¡± After realizing its mistake, the Metal-feathered Eagle quickly corrected itself and extended another finger. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Looking at the Metal-feathered Eagle reminding him that today was already the third time, Giles scratched his head awkwardly. Then, as if he had discovered something, Giles looked at the three fingers of the Metal-feathered Eagle in surprise. ¡°Hey! Metal-feathered Eagle, your fingers are already very agile!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you, Giles, that I slowly learned how to control these hands.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle clearly didn¡¯t realize that Giles¡¯ feigned surprise was to change the subject. As soon as it heard Giles begin to praise its fingers for being more agile than before, it was so happy that it stretched out both hands to Giles and nimbly did the finger exercises Giles had taught it. Furthermore, the fingers of the Metal-feathered Eagle looked much more dangerous than those of humans. The reason for that was that the ws on its fingers, which were equivalent to the nails of a human, were as sharp as des. Therefore, when ites to finger exercises, the slightest carelessness could result in an injury. However, when Giles was teaching the Metal-feathered Eagle how to use its fingers, he realized that the Metal Feather Eagle¡¯s sharp ws could actually shrink back like a cat¡¯s ws by controlling the muscles in its hands. After discovering this, the Metal-feathered Eagle would first retract its w into its finger to prevent it from cutting itself. Now, the Metal-feathered Eagle could nimbly shrink and release its sharp ws while doing finger exercises. Under the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯ skillful control of its finger muscles, the danger of it performing finger exercises was no less than ying with several butterfly knives at the same time. Its shaking fingers and its constantly shrinking ws that were as sharp as des were like a few fluttering butterflies under the weak sunlight of the morning. ¡°Okay, based on the current situation, after you break through to the Gold rank, I should be able to try teaching youbat skills.¡± Giles nodded in appreciation when he saw that the Metal-feathered Eagle could already y tricks with the finger exercises he had taught it. Asbat skills had certain requirements for human-shaped spirit beasts, Giles had beenying the foundation for the Metal-feathered Eagle for the past two weeks. For example, the long-distance run to train its bnce and endurance, as well as the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s finger exercises, were all for the sake ofying the foundation. The most important reason was actually the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s hands. Due to the iplete evolution, even if it could agilely perform finger exercises now, its hands were still far from strong enough to clench its fists, let alone fight with its fists. ¡°Giles, you previously said that after I absorb all the spiritual energy in the vine belt, I can break through to the Gold rank, right?¡± Hearing that Giles was finally going to teach itbat skills, the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped its finger exercises and looked at Giles excitedly. ¡°That¡¯s right, so let¡¯s hurry up and train!¡± As the evaluation section of Starlux Gym was near the spirit-beast section, while Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle were chatting, they had already entered the evaluation section. As Giles turned on the switch that supplied spiritual energy to the evaluation area, the equipment in the evaluation zone lit up one after another, waiting for someone to use them. ¡°Only through continuous training can we absorb spiritual energy steadily and quickly.¡± ¡°Yup, it¡¯s good to wake up earlier than others. You don¡¯t even have to queue for your equipment.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle looked at the equipment in the evaluation section and sighed. Although it was Giles¡¯ spirit beast, even if Giles finally had the time during working hours to train it, they would still have to wait until there was a training ground avable. Therefore, the Metal-feathered Eagle was very enthusiastic about getting up early in the morning to train. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, don¡¯t worry about that.¡± After Giles turned on the main switch and came back, he stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle that was rooted to the spot. ¡°Only the training section of Starlux Gym is only open to other Beast Tamers. Other than us, no one else uses the equipment in the evaluation section, let alone queue up for them.¡± ¡°Furthermore, like most Beast-taming Gyms, our Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section also has another name ¨C The Gym Leader Area.¡± ¡°This is because Gym Leader Alice usually uses this ce as her main working space whether it is for the Beast Tamer¡¯s spirit beast evaluation test or for the Beast Tamer challenge.¡± ¡°Most importantly, the venue that Gym Leader Alice used to ept the challenges from Beast Tamers is also the venue that she usually uses to train her spirit beasts.¡± ¡°Therefore, this training ground is far moreplete than those on loan to other Beast Tamers.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle enjoyed Giles¡¯ caress from Giles as it listened to Giles¡¯ exnation. ¡°No wonder this training ground is so muchrger than the other training grounds. It turns out that this training ground is exclusive to Gym Leader Alice.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s why we have a chance to use it for a while now that Gym Leader Alice is not in Starlux Gym.¡± At this point, Giles activated one of the evaluation equipment and called for the Metal-feathered Eagle, ¡°Come on, Metal-feathered Eagle. Same as usual today. Let¡¯s start with the Strength Evaluation.¡± Chapter 85 - The Metal-feathered Eagles Strength Has Officially Reached the Gold-rank Threshold

Chapter 85: The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s Strength Has Officially Reached the Gold-rank Threshold

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Whoosh! Bang! Ding! ¡°Okay, 43.6kg, Metal-feathered Eagle. One more time.¡± After receiving the message from Giles through spiritualmunication, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was 50 meters away from the strength detector, pped its wings and flung out a feather again. Whoosh! A golden light shed. Bang! Then, a piece of golden feather entered the spiritual shield released by the strength detector. Ding! A mechanical sound rang out from the strength detector, and the number disyed on it changed from 0 to 44.4. ¡°44.4kg, not bad! You improved a littlepared to yesterday. Looking at the numbers disyed on the machine, Giles nodded at the Metal-feathered Eagle which was not far from him. Then, he wrote the number ¡®44.4¡¯ on the record board in his hand. Apart from the ¡®Devour¡¯ skill that it had not used for the past two weeks, the Metal-feathered Eagle had also learned another innate skill from Garuda¡¯s story, ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. The innate skill ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ allowed the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot out its feathers, which were as hard as steel and like arrows, by pping its wings. After Giles¡¯ evaluation over the past two weeks, the Metal-feathered Eagle could fire up to 52 feathers through ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ in an hour. If it exceeded this number, the Metal-feathered Eagle would clearly feel the burden on its spiritual energy when it generated feathers. As for how many feathers the Metal-feathered Eagle could shoot with the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ skill in a day, Giles would stop the Metal-feathered Eagle that was trying to challenge the limits of its body, so as to ensure the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s safety. However, Giles had evaluated that ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ could only shoot four feathers at once. Furthermore, the effective killing distance of the feathers was about 200 meters, and the optimal distance for maximum fatality was less than 100 meters. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, fly over with all your might! Next is pecking!¡± As Giles waved at him from beside the strength detector, the Metal-feathered Eagle that had received the message pped its wings and began to elerate. Bang! A few secondster, a loud bang rang out in the evaluation section, and the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s beak pecked into the spiritual shield released by the strength detector. Ding! The machine sounded again, and the number on it changed from 0 to 334.7. ¡°334.7kg, Metal-feathered Eagle. Show me the speedometer.¡± After the Metal-feathered Eagle pulled out its beak from the spiritual shield, Giles squatted down and looked at the speedometer around its neck. ¡°109.6 km/h, 20.1 m. Simr to the previous two days.¡± Giles even smoothed out the tufts of feathers on the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head that had curled up slightly from the pecking. ¡°Don¡¯t be discouraged, Metal-feathered Eagle. Next time, adjust your breathing first. Don¡¯t rush forward.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see if we can break the record you left behind two days ago today.¡± Upon hearing this, the Metal-feathered Eagle looked up and exchanged a nce with Giles. Then, with a slight nod, it turned around and flew back to the starting point. All the best, Metal-feathered Eagle! After sensing the Metal-feathered Eagle fighting spirit and determination from its eyes, Giles subconsciously clenched the pen in his hand and began to cheer the Metal-feathered Eagle on in his heart. After the Metal-feathered Eagle returned to its starting point, it did not charge straight at the strength detector like before. Instead, it closed its eyes and took a deep breath. As its chest heaved, the Metal-feathered Eagle that was slowly exhaling suddenly opened its sharp eyes and pped its wings as it charged forward. Bang! Ding! ¡°336.1 kg! 110.2 km/h! 19.8 m! Metal-feathered Eagle, you seeded!¡± After hearing the numbers disyed on the detector and speedometer, the Metal-feathered Eagle jumped into Giles¡¯ arms excitedly. Giles also caught it with a smile on his face. After this experienced the resurgence of spiritual energy, it became many timesrger, so some rules of calction had also undergone a huge change. The Metal-feathered Eagle now had the strength to peck at 336.1 kg, with a speed of 110.2 kilometers per hour, and an explosive strength that could help it reach its speed limit within 20 meters from the starting point. Although it had yet to break through to the Gold rank, this number meant that it had officially stepped into the threshold of a Gold-rank bird-type spirit beast. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, don¡¯t get excited yet. While you¡¯re in a heated state, let¡¯s test the remaining data first.¡± ¡°Alright! There¡¯s also the charging and kicking with ws, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Bang! Ding! Bang! Ding! Bang! As the sound of impact and mechanical voice continued to ring out in the evaluation section, Giles¡¯ voice became more and more excited when he reported the data. Even his hand, which was recording the numbers, trembled slightly. ¡°324.2 kg! 323.9 kg! 95.7 kg! 96.2 kg!¡± After evaluating the data of the Metal-feathered Eagle using its wings to ram and using its ws to kick, Giles, who had a happy expression on his face, took the initiative to hug the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, the data that I just measured for you has already indicated your strength as a Gold-rank bird-type spirit beast.¡± However, the Metal-feathered Eagle seemed to have recalled something and was not as happy as Giles. ¡°But Giles, my shorings are still very obvious!¡± As the Metal-feathered Eagle spoke, it slowly stretched out its hands. Compared to its muscr legs, its arms were still too weak. In front of Giles, the Metal-feathered Eagle raised its hand and grabbed the spiritual shield of the strength detector. Ding! As the machine¡¯s sound rang out, the number ¡®8.1¡¯ popped out. Then, the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and flew to the strength detector, using its ws to grab the spiritual shield. Ding! As the machine¡¯s sound rang out, the number ¡®79.5¡¯ popped up. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, you don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± Looking at the numbers that were nearly ten times different from the previous numbers, Giles was not surprised. After all, before those two ws grew out, the Metal-feathered Eagle had long been used to grabbing items with its feet. This was like getting someone who was used to using his right hand learn to use his left hand. He would not be able to get used to it anytime soon. Furthermore, there were still some problems with the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s hands. ¡°The reason why your hands have always been weak is because your evolution is iplete.¡± ¡°As long as you can break through to the Gold rank andplete your evolution, this problem will naturally be resolved.¡± During the past two weeks of training, the word ¡°Gold-rank¡± had left a very deep impression on the Metal-feathered Eagle. This was also the goal that the Metal-feathered Eagle had been working hard towards. Giles¡¯ words also reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle that it was only one step away from the ¡°Gold-rank¡± it dreamed of. ¡°Giles, I won¡¯t waste time on being depressed and dejected anymore!¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle, who had regained itsposure, looked determinedly at Giles. ¡°Since the evaluation is over, let¡¯s begin today¡¯s training!¡± Chapter 86 - Legend-rank Beast Tamer and the Power of the Universe

Chapter 86: Legend-rank Beast Tamer and the Power of the Universe

Tap tap tap¡­. Buzz¡­ After Giles pressed a few buttons on a precision device, a spiritual shield, which was used whilst epting challenges from Beast Tamers, appeared at the edge of the evaluation section. Giles did not stop operating the equipment. While he kept pressing the buttons, the originally empty venue began to change. Mist-like spiritual energy kept rising from the arena. After the spiritual energypletely enveloped the entire arena, it gradually began to condense from the misty state to a solid state. Under Giles¡¯ operation and adjustments, targets that condensed from spiritual energy appeared in the arena and the training ground used by the Gym Leader had be a shooting range. Watching the scene where the misty spiritual energy kept surging and condensing into a solid form, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was pping its wings in the air, could not help but exim, ¡°I can¡¯t get sick of this scene no matter how many times I look at it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, all the scene simtors used in the Beast-taming Gyms were created by the joint efforts of five Legend-rank Beast Tamers who hadprehended the powers of energy gathering and forming shapes.¡± After Giles stopped operating the equipment, he also heard the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s exmation through their spiritualmunication. The device he had just operated was called the ¡°Scene Simtor¡±. It had the function of highlypressing invisible and intangible spiritual energy into a solid form. The principle was simr to freezing the water in the air into ice and using ice sculptures to simte the training scene. However, the efficiency of spiritual energy condensation was higher, and the shape condensed from the spiritual energy could also be freely set by the operator. As the controller of the simtor¡¯s setting, Giles excitedly began to introduce the origin of this device to the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°In order to develop this scene simtor, the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers who hadprehended the Power of the Universe spent three years worth of effort.¡± ¡°In these three years, they failed thousands of times. Furthermore, every failure meant that they had to fight against Death.¡± ¡°Because the moment they fail, the enormous amount of spiritual energy controlled by the equipment that maintains the stability of the spiritual energy will lose control and trigger a Legend-rank spiritual energy storm.¡± After learning about the story behind this magical equipment from Giles, the Metal-feathered Eagle could not help but feel deep veneration for the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers. When it heard Giles say that they had experienced thousands of failures and thousands of spiritual storms during the research and development of the scene simtor, its heart also became nervous with Giles¡¯ slightly serious words. The spiritual energy storm that nearly destroyed it and Giles¡¯ bodies was only at the Silver rank, but they had faced Legend-rank spiritual energy storms thousands of times! However, Giles¡¯st sentence finally made the nervous Metal-feathered Eagle heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Fortunately, although they experienced thousands of failures and faced thousands of Legend-rank spiritual energy storms, with the protection of the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers, no major casualties urred during the development of the scene simtor and it turned out sessful.¡± After hearing this unexpected oue, the Metal-feathered Eagle couldn¡¯t help but ask Giles curiously, ¡°Giles, are Legend-rank Beast Tamers who haveprehended the Power of the Universe that powerful?¡± ¡°That¡¯s a Legend-rank spiritual energy storm! They actually managed to survive without any casualties.¡± ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, a Legend-rank spiritual energy storm is indeed terrifying. If there¡¯s no intervention, the subsequent destruction will be enough to affect an entire base city.¡± Giles first told the Metal-feathered Eagle about the destructive power and influence of the Legend-rank Spirit Storm. Then, he mentioned the important role the Power of the Universe yed in this. ¡°However, as the creators of the scene simtor, the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers, who hadprehended the Power of the Universe, had a unique understanding of controlling spiritual energy.¡± ¡°Every time the spiritual energy goes out of control and triggers a spiritual energy storm, they and their spirit beasts would immediately unleash spiritual energy that was no less than the spiritual energy storm, so as to fight against it.¡± ¡°Then, in conjunction with the energy-gathering and shape-shifting powers that they had learned, they would limit the spiritual energy storm to a specific area and gradually disperse it and absorb the spiritual energy inside.¡± ¡°To them, the Power of the Universe that they haveprehended was akin to having the ability to restrict a zing fire to within an enclosed area and draw out the oxygen supply.¡± ¡°In this way, no matter how intense the fire is, it will not be able to continue burning and will gradually extinguish because there is no oxygen supply.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ exnation, the Metal-feathered Eagle realized how powerful the Power of the Universe, which was still out of its reach, was. ¡°I haven¡¯t broken through to the Gold rank yet. I don¡¯t know when I can reach the Legend rank where I canprehend the Power of the Universe.¡± ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, you don¡¯t have to think too much about this. This is because when you reach the Epic rank, you should be able to feel a trace of the Power of the Universe.¡± If the Legend rank was the process of gradually understanding the Power of the Universe, then the Epic rank before that was a threshold that determined whether or not one could attain the Power of the Universe. As for the highest Mythic rank, they were existences that couldpletely control the Power of the Universe. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s exmation also reminded Giles. Giles had already had a rough spection about the Power of the Universe that the Metal-feathered Eagle mightprehend. Under normal circumstances, the Power of the Universe that spirit beasts couldprehend was usually rted to their innate skills. The Metal-feathered Eagle was simr to other metal-type spirit beasts in the beginning. Its innate skill was¡¯ Metalize ¡®, which increased its hardness. If nothing unexpected happened, when the Metal-feathered Eagle reached the Legend rank, it would understand the Power of Controlling Metal. However, after listening to Garuda¡¯s story, the Metal-feathered Eagle had learned its new innate skills, ¡®Devour¡¯ and ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. Therefore, it was very likely that the Metal-feathered Eagle wouldprehend other Power of the Universe because of these two innate skills. After realizing this, Giles looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle in anticipation. One had to know that in battles above the Epic rank, it was apetition of one¡¯s understanding and use of the Power of the Universe. On the other hand, when spirit beasts that hadprehended two types of Power of the Universe used both powers in actualbat, they would usually be able to exert the effects of ¡®one plus one is greater than two¡¯. However, even for Legend-rank spirit beasts, there were very few who couldprehend two types of Power of the Universe. The Metal-feathered Eagle had extraordinary potential. Perhaps it could grow to the Mythic rank in the future! However, before that, it still had to train hard and let the Metal-feathered Eagle break through to the Gold rank first. With this in mind, Giles retrieved a device that looked like a pair of goggles from the scene simtor and put it on his head. Then, he looked towards the Metal-feathered Eagle and pointed at the shooting range. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, the training ground has been simted into a shooting range.¡± ¡°Next, let¡¯s see whether your Feather Arrows can continue to break your previous record.¡± Chapter 87 - Moving Target and Timed Target

Chapter 87: Moving Target and Timed Target

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In Gym Leader Alice¡¯s exclusive training ground, the targets condensed from spiritual energy floated in the air like balloons, moving irregrly one after another With the settings that Giles had previously set up using the scene simtor, the moving targets went up and down, left and right, front and back. Furthermore, the interval, speed, and length of each movement were alsopletely different. There was only one way to stop these targets and that was¡­ ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, are you ready?¡± While asking the Metal-feathered Eagle this question, Giles checked the goggles on his face again. This goggles-like device could disy the test data on the lens and also allow Giles to operate the scene simtor using his spiritual power. ¡°On your mark!¡± After the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was pping its wings in the air, nodded at Giles, its sharp eyes focused on the moving targets a hundred meters away. ¡°Begin!¡± As soon as Giles shouted thismand, the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and began to shoot out arrows that glowed with a golden light. Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! Ninth ring!¡± Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! Eighth ring!¡± Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! Tenth ring!¡± ¡­ As the golden beams of light struck one after another, the floating targets stopped moving. The goggles on Giles¡¯ head also began to beep as it recorded. After the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s training began, Giles also began his own physical training. The evaluation section of Starlux Gym was the Gym Leader Alice¡¯s exclusive training area. Other than the functional evaluation equipment, there were also various types of fitness equipment. At that moment, Giles was looking at the data that had popped up on his goggles as he used his right arm to do his pull-ups. As the injury on Giles¡¯ left arm had just healed, he would only use his right arm during physical training. After doing his pull-ups, Giles, who was maintaining a constant breathing rate, began to look at the statistics on his goggles. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, congrattions on breaking the record! The average ring number that you strike on the moving targets has reached the ninth ring!¡± Looking at the data disyed on his goggles, Giles smiled and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head. ¡°Regte your condition. The next targets are timed targets.¡± As Giles controlled the scene simtor using his goggles, the dissipated spiritual energy in the training ground condensed into new targets. However, this batch of new targets was no longer moving as casually as before. Instead, there was a beam of light from the scene simtor flickering in the open space below the targets. If the first target shooting was to train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes to capture moving targets, then there would also be the uracy of the Feather Arrows when it shot moving targets. In that case, the second round of target shooting was to train the reaction speed of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the uracy of the Feather Arrows when shooting fixed targets. When the light shone on the target condensed from spiritual energy, it meant that the countdown had begun. Two secondster, the target illuminated by the light would instantly dissipate, causing the feathers of the Metal-feathered Eagle to miss. During this period, the Metal-feathered Eagle only had two seconds to throw out its arrow and shoot at the target. ¡°Giles, I¡¯m ready.¡± After rxing for a minute or so, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had recovered, nodded at Giles in high spirits. ¡°Let¡¯s begin, then,¡± Giles, who was supporting himself with his right hand, started doing one-handed push-ups after saying ¡®begin¡¯. Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! 1.47 seconds!¡± Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! 1.52 seconds!¡± Whoosh! Bang! ¡°Ding! 1.48 seconds!¡± ¡­ After being illuminated by the light for a second, the floating target would be hit by a dazzling golden light. Giles, who was doing one-handed push-ups, kept hearing the beeping sound from his goggles. As the second round of target shooting was mainly to train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s reaction speed, the interval between each target illuminated by the light was very short. The Metal-feathered Eagle finished shooting all the targets in less than a minute. Then, it stood quietly at the side and watched Giles do one-handed push-ups. ¡°Huff! Sorry for waiting.¡± Giles, who had one hand on the ground, slowly stood up and began to check the data on his goggles. ¡°Okay, you hit all the targets. Metal-feathered Eagle, your fastest reaction speed is 0.01 seconds faster than yesterday.¡± ¡°Based on the improvements in the data over the past two weeks, you¡¯ve reached a bottleneck.¡± ¡°Before you break through to the Gold rank, 1.47 seconds should be your limit.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ evaluation, the Metal-feathered Eagle nodded slightly. When it first used its Feather Arrows to shoot at the target two weeks ago, its uracy of striking the moving targets did not exceed 50%, let alone strike the rings. It had also failed three or four times in a row because of panic. Therefore, it was actually quite satisfied with the current numbers. ¡°The training program rted to ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ has ended, but it will take a few minutes to change the shooting range to another training ground.¡± After Giles took off his goggles, he walked over to the scene simtor and reminded the metal-feathered eagle as he operated the device, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, you can take a break during this period. Next up is a training program rted to flying.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ reminder, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not push itself. It sat down beside Giles and closed its eyes to adjust its breathing. After two weeks of training, it knew very well how difficult the next training program was. If it did not regte its condition quickly, it might suffer some preventable injuries during training. Out of the corner of his eye, Giles saw that after the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its eyes and began to adjust its condition. Giles, who was operating the equipment, nodded with a smile of approval. Be it during the Gym Challenges or the tournaments, spirit beasts would be given some time to adjust their condition and prepare for the next battle. Therefore, ¡°How to quickly adjust your condition¡± was also an essential training program. Although Giles hadn¡¯t told the Metal-feathered Eagle about this training program during the past two weeks, he still deliberately reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle. In this regard, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not disappoint him. In the past two weeks of training, it had never forced its unwell body to face the next training program. While the Metal-feathered Eagle was resting, Giles¡¯ kept fiddling with the equipment and the original shooting range instantly dissipated into mist-like spiritual energy. As the mist-like spiritual energy condensed into a solid form again, a new training ground appeared. On both sides of the training ground, there was an object about the size of a table. Furthermore, there were many fist-sized spherical objects in the ¡®table¡¯. If Rex were here, he would definitely be shocked as the leader of the City Guards. This was because apart from being a little small in size, the two ¡®tables¡¯ were almost identical to the City Guard¡¯s ballistae which were used to withstand the beast tide! Chapter 88 - Defensive Skill "Wings Shield" and Innate Skill "Metalize"

Chapter 88: Defensive Skill ¡°Wings Shield¡± and Innate Skill ¡°Metalize¡±

¡°As expected of a masterpiece created by five Legend-rank Beast Tamers!¡± Giles, who was wearing his goggles again, looked at the two small ballistae condensed from the spiritual energy in the training ground. His respect for the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers couldn¡¯t help but deepen. Although the two small ballistae made of spiritual energy looked ordinary, the principles involved were extremely precise andplicated. Today, Giles could actually rely on the scene simtor to condense spiritual energy into two small ballistae after pressing a few buttons. This was all thanks to the efforts of the five Legend-rank Beast Tamers who had developed the scene simtor. However, although the two small ballistae simted in the training ground looked simr to the City Guard¡¯s ballistae, the power of the cannonballs was actually far from the actual ballistae. The reason was that they werepletely condensed from spiritual energy and did not contain any metal or wood. The cannonballs that were to beunched from the ballistae as well as the springs and bow strings that were used for theunch, were all condensed from spiritual energy. When the scene simtor simted the two small ballistae, it could be said that it vividly disyed the unique sticity of spiritual energy. Furthermore, the simtor¡¯s control over spiritual energy was not as simple as transforming the shape of spiritual energy. Just like its name, ¡°Scene Simtor¡±, in order topletely simte various scenes, this device could even change the attributes of spiritual energy. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, the new training ground has been set up. How are you feeling?¡± After setting the attribute of the spiritual-energy cannonball to ¡®Rock¡¯, Giles, who was looking down at the Metal-feathered Eagle, wiped the sweat off his goggles. The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had its eyes closed topose itself, heaved a sigh of relief when it heard Giles¡¯ question. Then, it looked up and met Giles¡¯ gaze. ¡°I¡¯m in a good state now. I don¡¯t have any issues. I can start training anytime.¡± As Giles looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle in the eye, he could tell that it was in a heated state. After confirming that the Metal-feathered Eagle was fine, Giles pointed at the center of the training ground. ¡°In that case, fly into the training ground first. When I start shouting, the ballistae will begin to fire cannonballs at you.¡± ¡°What you have to do is to avoid the ballistae¡¯s cannonballs as much as possible while flying.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t dodge in time, you can also use your Wings Shield to defend yourself.¡± ¡°As long as the cannonball doesn¡¯t hit any part other than your wings, it will be considered a sess.¡± ¡°Once the cannonball hits a spot other than your wings, this training will end.¡± In the next training program, Giles not only had to train the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge attacks when it flew, but he also had to train the Metal-feathered Eagle to use the skill ¡®Wings Shield¡¯ to react quickly. ¡°Wings Shield¡± was amon skill that all bird-type spirit beasts could learn. This defensive skill could allow bird-type spirit beasts to use their wings as shields to ward off attacks. Furthermore, the Metal-feathered Eagle had an advantage that other bird-type spirit beasts did not have. That was, as a metal-type spirit beast, it also had the innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ that increased its hardness. After the innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ increased the hardness of its wings, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s defense would be enhanced when it used ¡®Wings Shield¡¯. It was because of this that Giles had specially set the attribute of the spiritual-energy cannonball to be ¡®Rock¡¯ when he set up the spiritual-energy cannonball. This was also to increase the power of the spiritual-energy cannonball. Otherwise, even if the spiritual-energy cannonball hit the Metal-feathered Eagle, it might not even notice the cannonball since it used ¡®Metalize¡¯ to increase its hardness. Seeing the Metal-feathered Eagle p its wings and fly into the training ground, Giles stretched out his left hand and picked up a dumbbell from a pile of gym equipment. ¡°Let the training begin!¡± As Giles shouted for the training to begin, the two small ballistae on both sides of the training ground began to fire their spiritual-energy cannonball at the flying Metal-feathered Eagle. Facing the pincer attack of the spiritual-energy cannonballs flying towards it from both sides, the Metal-feathered Eagle in the training ground did not panic at all. It pped its wings abruptly and rose up, cleanly dodging the first round of attacks from the small ballistae. As the Metal-feathered Eagle flew around the training ground, it began to skillfully use various flying techniques such as turning sideways and charging to a stop, nimbly dodging the iing spiritual-energy cannonballs. Giles, who was wearing the goggles, was observing the trajectory of the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air as he used the dumbbell to move his left arm for rehabilitation. ¡°There is no abnormal reaction at the wrist joint, no abnormal reaction at the elbow joint, no abnormal reaction at the shoulder joint, and no abnormal reaction at the wound.¡± After finishing the rehabilitation exercises for his left arm, Giles confirmed that there were no abnormal reactions from the spiritual energy in his left arm as a result of his activities. He then continued the remaining physical training exercises in peace. As the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s current training program required a long time, Giles also carried out training programs such as squats, frog jumps, and sit-ups while observing the statistics through his goggles. As time passed, the sweat on Giles¡¯ forehead began to gather and drip, but he did not feel exhausted. Giles could clearly sense that under the guidance of the Little Fox¡¯s spiritual energy, his body was using the paste made from the Pulse Condensation Grass as a medium to absorb the spiritual energy in his left arm. This was also a pattern that Giles had discovered during the past two weeks of training. Whenever he was about to reach his limit, his body would absorb a wisp of spiritual energy from his left arm. After the wisp of spiritual energy spread throughout his body, the aching and swelling pain in his entire body would gradually disappear. After doing his research online, he also verified that the situation urring in his body was consistent with the characteristics of Beast Tamers who enhanced their physique by absorbing spiritual energy. In other words, through these two weeks of training, Giles¡¯ strength as a Beast Tamer was also increasing incessantly. However, as he had to manage Starlux Gym every day, Giles had yet to go to the Beast Tamer Association to evaluate which rank he had reached. Bang! ¡°Beep! The spiritual-energy cannonball¡¯s first hit is at 10 minutes and 25 seconds!¡± After hearing the recording sound from the goggles, Giles, who was still doing his squats, began to focus his attention on the Metal-feathered Eagle. This was because the recording sound meant that the Metal-feathered Eagle could not dodge in time and could only use its ¡®Wings Shield¡¯ skill to defend. The frequency at which it used ¡°Shield Wings¡± to defend would also increase because its physical fitness was no longer enough for it to continue using its flying skills to dodge the attacks of the small ballistae. The actual situation in the training ground was as Giles had imagined. After the Metal-feathered Eagle used its ¡®Wings Shield¡¯ to defend once, the frequency that it used its flying skill to dodge the spiritual-energy cannonballs decreased. The interval between the usage of its defense skill ¡®Wings Shield¡¯ also became shorter and shorter. Bang! Bang! Bang¡­! ¡°Beep! The spiritual-energy cannonball tenth hit is at 12 minutes and 48 seconds! This training is over!¡± As this recording sound rang out from the goggles on Giles¡¯ face, the two small ballistae stopped attacking the Metal-feathered Eagle. Seeing that the training was over, the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and flew towards Giles from the training ground. ¡°Hu!¡± After doing thest squat, Giles heaved a sigh of relief and slowly held the scene simtor and stood up. Seeing the Metal-feathered Eagle fly in front of him, Giles, who was holding onto the scene simtor, bent down slightly and reached out his right hand to stroke its head. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, congrattions on breaking all your previous records!¡± Chapter 89 - The Linear Graphs Representing Continuous Improvement

Chapter 89: The Linear Graphs Representing Continuous Improvement

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions As Giles stroked it with his right hand, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which felt veryfortable, half-closed its eyes. It was hard to believe that such a docile-looking creature was so eye-catching just a few minutes ago when it was constantly changing directions in the training ground to avoid the spiritual-energy cannonballs. After hearing Giles¡¯ congrattory words, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had its eyes half-closed, stared at Giles in disbelief. ¡°Giles, is that true? Did I really break all my previous records today?¡± Although the Metal-feathered Eagle had made some improvements daily during the past two weeks of training, perhaps because it had reached a bottleneck in the past few days, its condition had begun to fluctuate slightly. For example, during the training to shoot arrows yesterday, its stats had been maintained better than before. However, during the training to avoid the cannonballs yesterday, its performance was much worse than the previous two days. Therefore, when it heard Giles congratte it for breaking all the records, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s first reaction was to confirm this with Giles in surprise. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s reaction was within Giles¡¯ expectations, but he also knew that the Metal-feathered Eagle had not understood the recorded statistics yet. Hence, Giles, who was holding onto the scene simtor, straightened his back and took off his goggles. He input the goggles and the data that he had recorded on his board, into the scene simtor. As Giles began to operate the scene simtor, the two small ballistae on both sides of the training ground immediately dissipated into a stream of spiritual energy. Under Giles¡¯ control, the misty spiritual energy surging in the training ground began to condense into several t graphs. The data that Giles had recorded over the past two weeks were now disyed in the form of a linear graph in the training ground. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, fly up and take a look at those lines. You¡¯ll understand then.¡± Seeing that the spiritual energy had finished condensing into graphs, Giles lowered his head and pointed to the Metal-feathered Eagle beside him. ¡°This graph is the data of you pecking with your eagle beak. This graph is the data of you attacking with your wings. This graph is the data of you kicking with your feet ws.¡± ¡°This graph is the data of you using your arrows to shoot at the moving targets. This graph is the data of you using your arrows to shoot at the fixed targets. Finally, this graph is the data of you dodging the spiritual-energy cannonballs just now.¡± ¡°If the undting lines in the graphs are going upwards, that means that you¡¯ve improved. Going downwards means that you didn¡¯t perform as well as before.¡± After Giles exined it once, although the Metal-feathered Eagle did not understand what the data disyed in the graphs represented, it could still tell how much it had improved during the past two weeks through the rising and falling lines. For example, during the first week of training, all the lines went up. This meant that it was improving every day, and the data for all the training programs were getting better by the day. However, after the second week, the lines did not rise as much as they did during the first week, meaning that they had gradually reached a bottleneck from the second week onwards. Moreover, the lines in the graphs even had slight fluctuations three days ago, and these three days were when it asionally failed to function because of its bottleneck. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s gaze traced the lines on the graphs and finally stopped at the data today. Although there was no significant improvement over the past three days, all the data today was a little higher than before. In Giles¡¯ words, it had broken all its previous records! ¡°I actually did it!¡± After confirming that it had broken all its previous records, the Metal-feathered Eagle let out an excited cry and even jumped a few times on the spot. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, from the data disyed on these graphs, your current strength should have reached its limit and you¡¯ve sessfully stepped into the threshold of the Gold-rank for bird-type spirit beasts.¡± Giles, who was also happy about this, looked up at the graphs floating on the training ground and continued to analyze the situation with the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°The remaining beast-core spiritual energy in your body has already been absorbed by the vine belt. If nothing goes wrong, you might break through to the Gold rank tomorrow or the day after.¡± ¡°It is extremely rare for one to continue evolving after an iplete evolution. Therefore, for safety reasons, from today onwards, you are not to leave my line of sight every day. At night, you can alsoe straight to my wooden hut to sleep and rest.¡± ¡°This way, even if you suddenly start to break through, I can immediately take care of you to prevent any idents from happening.¡± When it heard Giles mention about breaking through to the Gold rank, the excited Metal-feathered Eagle also recalled the spiritual energy storm caused by its previous evolution losing control. It, who still had lingering fears about this, quickly calmed down and nodded at Giles. Then, its eyes suddenly revealed a tinge of worry. ¡°Giles, will anything happen to me when I break through to the Gold rank this time?¡± ¡°You can rest assured about that.¡± As Giles spoke, he slowly squatted down and gently hugged the Metal-feathered Eagle, who was surprised by his actions. ¡°With this vine belt given to you by an Elite Beast Tamer like Sister Hash as your guarantee, that situation will definitely not happen again.¡± Hearing Giles¡¯ resolute words, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s tensed muscles immediately rxed. ¡°Okay! Giles, I trust you!¡± ¡°In that case, let¡¯s summarize today¡¯s training as usual!¡± Seeing that the Metal-feathered Eagle was no longer worried about breaking through to the Gold rank, Giles, who had a smile on his face, solemnly summarized the day¡¯s training results with the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, the four offensive and defensive skills that you have learned, as well as your innate skill to increase hardness, have all performed exceptionally well in today¡¯s training.¡± ¡°On this note, I congratte you once again for breaking all your previous records. Tell me what reward you want.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ praise, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was holding its head high, narrowed its eyes and rubbed its head against Giles¡¯ right hand. Needless to say, as Giles¡¯ right handnded on the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head, the morning training ended. There was no audience for this finalmendation ritual. Furthermore, be it the reason behind this ceremony or the reward given, they all seemed a little childish andughable. However, Giles had always believed that one had to pay attention to the details and rituals when interacting with spirit beasts. Even the slightest careless move by a Beast Tamer might affect the spirit beast greatly. For example, the act of him stroking the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head could actually motivate the Metal-feathered Eagle. After turning off the simtor, for safety reasons, Giles quietly waited for the spiritual energy in the training ground to dissipate. ¡°It¡¯s almost seven o¡¯clock!¡± As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, Giles looked up at the clock on the wall. Then, he walked towards the main switch that controlled the spiritual energy supply. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. We have to hurry and open the door to the gym.¡± ¡°Perhaps there are already Beast Tamers who need to borrow the training ground waiting at the entrance of the gym.¡± However, before Giles could reach the switch for the main gate, all the lights on the evaluation equipment suddenly went out. Even the lighting went out. For a moment, the entire evaluation section fell into darkness. ¡°Hmm? Is it night time?¡± Chapter 90 - The Beast Blood Sects Attack?

Chapter 90: The Beast Blood Sect¡¯s Attack?

Seeing that the evaluation section had turned pitch ck all of a sudden the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had never encountered such a situation before, couldn¡¯t help but p its wings a few times. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here. It¡¯ll be fine.¡± Standing at the side, Giles also sensed the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s panic, so he reached out his right hand and stroked it. The frightened Metal-feathered Eagle quickly calmed down under Giles¡¯ assurance, but it was still puzzled and worried. ¡°Giles, why would something like this happen?¡± ¡°Maybe there¡¯s a problem with the main switch for the spiritual energy supply in the evaluation section. We¡¯ll know after we check.¡± Unlike the Metal-feathered Eagle, who had never encountered such a situation and was flustered by it, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, hade across countless emergencies previously. If it was just a problem with the main switch for the spiritual energy supply, he could handle it by himself. ¡°That¡¯s strange. There¡¯s no issues with the circuitry or the main switch. Why did the spiritual energy supply suddenly stop?¡± Through the weak sunlight that shone into the room through the window, Giles, who roughly knew where the main switch was, fumbled around in the darkness and opened the panelboard. However, to his surprise, the interior of the panelboard was intact without any malfunction. Sss! Sss! Sss¡­ As several electric currents rang out, a weak light illuminated every entrance and exit of the evaluation section. ¡°Oh? Has the gym¡¯s emergency power been activated?¡± Looking at the weak lights, Giles couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°The situation seems to be much worse than I imagined!¡± Hundreds of years after the resurgence of spiritual energy, due to the various advantages of spiritual energy, such as it being renewable, avable in huge amounts, causing minimal pollution, and being able to transform, it has be the main energy source for humans. However, other energy sources such as electricity, heat, and wind were notpletely eliminated. They were mainly used as backup energy sources for emergencies for a short period of time. The emergency lights had already been switched on in the evaluation section, which meant that the ce where the spiritual energy supply was stopped was not just the evaluation section, but the entire Starlux Gym! Although he did not know why the entire Starlux Gym had stopped supplying spiritual energy, the impact of the current situation was immense. It had to be known that the conservatory in the spirit beast section relied on using spiritual energy every day to provide afortable environment for the spirit beast cubs to grow. Now that the spiritual energy supply in the spirit beast section had been stopped, the spirit beast cubs that lived in the conservatory would also be affected. It might even cause a panic. Furthermore, it would soon be seven o¡¯clock. The Beast Tamers who needed to borrow the training ground would also arrive at Starlux Gym one after another. Without the spiritual energy supply, the training areas would not be able to function. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll head back to the spirit beast section first.¡± After realizing these two points, Giles made his decision without any hesitation. Even though the muscles on his entire body, which had justpleted his physical training, were still aching and exhausted, he still kept running towards the spirit-beast section together with the Metal-feathered Eagle. He had to temporarily store the spirit beast cubs in his tattoo space. Otherwise, if he let them stay in the conservatory with no spiritual energy supply for too long, something would definitely happen. ¡°If not for some special situation, the Beast-taming Gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply wouldn¡¯t be terminated even if the spiritual energy supply in the nearby streets had been. Could it be that our gym owes money to the spiritual energy supply station?¡± As Beast-taming Gyms were official evaluation agencies affiliated with the Beast Tamer Association, the spiritual energy supply for Beast-taming Gyms waspletely independent of the route used by civilian facilities. Now that the spiritual energy supply for Starlux Gym had suddenly been halted, Giles first guessed that Starlux Gym owed money to the spiritual energy supply station. ¡°But logically speaking, that¡¯s not right either! Every month, the Beast Tamer Association will reimburse a portion of the bill for the spirit energy supply to the Beast-taming Gym.¡± ¡°Furthermore, Gym Leader Alice specially paid a feest month before she left. At the very least, the spiritual energy supply should not be cut off this month.¡± ¡°I wonder how much we owe. Otherwise, the spiritual energy supply station wouldn¡¯t have suddenly stopped the supply without even informing me.¡± Just as Giles opened the door to the spirit-beast section with his doubts, he was struck on the chest by a pure-white object. When the Metal-feathered Eagle behind Giles saw this, it subconsciously pped its wings and prepared to attack, but Giles¡¯ voice suddenly rang out in its mind, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, don¡¯t attack. This is Little Fox!¡± In actuality, Giles was also taken aback by this pure-white object, but when he felt the furry sensation in his arms, he immediately let down his guard and reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle behind him. ¡°Little Fox, don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s alright.¡± Seeing the Little Fox trembling in his arms, Giles snapped out of it. Perhaps the Little Fox was frightened, so heforted the Little Fox as he walked towards the spirit beast section. As the Little Fox listened to Giles¡¯ soft voice and felt his touch, its body slowly stopped shaking and its emotions calmed down. Previously, because the Little Fox was worried that something would happen to Giles when he was doing rehabilitation exercises for his left arm, she, who was moring to go back to sleep, tossed and turned on Giles¡¯ bed a few times. After that, she decided to go to the evaluation section to take a look at Giles. As one of them was treating Giles while the other was training with Giles, the Little Fox and the Metal-feathered Eagle had been by Giles¡¯ side every day for the past two weeks. They could be said to be very familiar with the various sections in Starlux Gym. It was because of this that the Metal-feathered Eagle could leave the spirit beast section at around five in the morning and fly ten rounds around Starlux Gym. The Little Fox also ran straight towards the evaluation section after stepping out of the wooden hut in the forest. However, not long after she left the spirit beast section, she encountered the situation of the spiritual energy supply being cut off. As a spirit beast that had just arrived in human society, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Seeing that the passageway was pitch-ck and the surrounding spiritual energy was starting to thin, the Little Fox couldn¡¯t help but panic. However, the reason she was nervous wasn¡¯t because of her safety, but because¡­ Did something happen to Giles during his training? When this thought arose in her heart, the panic-stricken Little Fox couldn¡¯t help but recall what had happened in the Decker Mountain Range previously. Two weeks ago, at the Beast Tamer Friendly Match in the Decker Mountain Range, Giles had destroyed the n that the Beast Blood Sect had been preparing for a long time. He had thoroughly established a grudge with the Beast Blood Sect. The Little Fox had also learned from her mother, Janice, that the Beast Blood Sect was known to always take revenge.?Perhaps this ident is the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s revenge against Giles! After realizing this, the Little Fox sprinted towards the evaluation section and couldn¡¯t help but speed up. Finally, when she saw that Giles was safe and sound as he opened the door of the evaluation section, she finally felt relieved and threw herself into the arms of a surprised Giles. ¡°Little Fox, why did youe over here?¡± Seeing the Little Fox gradually stop trembling in his arms, Giles, who felt that her emotions had stabilized, tried to ask this question. However, to Giles¡¯ surprise, the Little Fox tensed up again after hearing his question. How should I exin this to Giles? Should I just say that I came here because I was worried about him? Chapter 91 - The Effects of the Changes in the Spiritual Energy Concentration on the Spirit

Chapter 91: The Effects of the Changes in the Spiritual Energy Concentration on the Spirit Beasts!

The question Giles raised reminded the Little Fox of when she had crawled under the covers and said resolutely that she definitely wasn¡¯t going to watch Giles. Just now, when the spiritual energy supply got cut off, not only was she worried that something had happened to Giles during his rehabilitation training, but she had also spected that this was the Beast Blood Sect¡¯s revenge on Giles. Therefore, after confirming that Giles was safe and sound, the Little Fox, who realized that this was a misunderstanding, was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t know how to answer Giles¡¯ question. Sensing that the Little Fox¡¯s body had tensed up when she heard the question he had asked, Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous along with the Little Fox. To the Little Fox, the distance between the spirit beast section and the evaluation section was neither near nor far. With her size and speed, it would take at least ten minutes to run from the wooden hut in the spirit-beast section to the entrance of the evaluation section. It had to be known that when any Beast-taming Gyms were established, in order to prevent problems such as the stoppage of spiritual energy supply in one area causing the stoppage of spiritual energy supply in all other areas, the supply lines buried in each area were independent of each other. Furthermore, because the demand for the spiritual energy supply in each area was different, the backup spiritual energy stored in each area was also different. Due to these reasons, Giles had already begun to mentally prepare himself for the worst-case scenario. Is it because the spiritual energy in the spirit-beast section¡¯s conservatory is consumed more quickly than in the evaluation section? That¡¯s why the supply of spiritual energy in the spirit-beast section had already been stopped ten minutes ago. Since the spiritual energy supply in the spirit beast section stopped earlier, perhaps it has already run out of backup spiritual energy. Not even five minutes after my spirit energy supply stopped in the evaluation section, did the Little Fox already run from the spirit beast section to the evaluation section. At the thought of this, Giles, who was carrying the Little Fox, hastened his pace towards the spirit beast section. Fortunately, I headed towards the spirit beast section right from the start. Otherwise, if Little Fox didn¡¯t find me when she came to the evaluation section, I don¡¯t know how anxious she would be. Seeing that the Little Fox in his arms didn¡¯t answer him after a long time, Giles had to change the question. ¡°Little Fox, did something happen in the spirit beast section? Is that why you rushed over to look for me?¡± Hearing Giles¡¯ question, the shy Little Fox seemed to have found a topic to talk about. ¡°Giles, for some reason, the spiritual energy concentration over at the spirit beast section has begun to thin!¡± ¡°If we don¡¯t resolve this problem quickly, the bodies of the spirit beasts inside might suffer!¡± Upon hearing that the situation was simr to what he had imagined, Giles nodded solemnly at the Little Fox and patted her back lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re almost there.¡± With Giles¡¯ full speed running, and as his physical strength gradually approached its limit, his body began to absorb spiritual energy from his left arm again. The wisps of spiritual energy spread throughout Giles¡¯ entire body, like drops of clear spring waternding on dry and yellow grass, causing Giles¡¯ exhausted body to regain its vitality. In less than two to three minutes, Giles, who was covered in sweat, ran into the spirit-beast section with the Little Fox and the Metal-feathered Eagle. As for the spirit beast cubs that had gathered in the courtyard because they realized that the spiritual energy was gradually thinning, when they saw Giles running towards them, they all agitatedly ran into Giles¡¯ arms. They, who were as intelligent as children of a few years old, could only ce their hopes on Giles in the face of such an unexpected situation. Seeing that the spirit beast cubs were still conscious, Giles heaved a sigh of relief after checking on them one by one. Although the spiritual energy concentration in the conservatory is still declining, fortunately, there are no issues with their bodies yet. It seems that the situation is not as bad as I thought. After appeasing the panicked spirit beast cubs, Giles kept them in the space within the tattoos and let them rest temporarily. This was also one of the mostmon ways Beast Tamers used to deal with situations where spiritual energy was thin. This was because spirit beasts and ferocious beasts were much more sensitive than humans when the spiritual energy concentration around them changed. If the spiritual energy concentration in the environment began to drop noticeably, the spirit beasts and ferocious beasts that did not know the exact reason for it would easily panic. For example, the ferocious beast tide that erupted every few years was because the number of ferocious beasts born and living in a region had reached the limit of the region. This resulted in a clear decline in the concentration of spiritual energy in the area. In order to survive, the violent and crazy ferocious beasts would take the risk and rush out of the forest like a tide, charging towards the human cities where the spiritual energy was higher. In such situations, the more rational spirit beasts were much calmer. When the spiritual energy supply was cut off in the evaluation section, the Metal-feathered Eagle had pped its wings a few times not only because it was not used to the change in brightness, but also because it had sensed that the concentration of spiritual energy around it was beginning to decline. Even so, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was a spirit beast, did not show any signs of agitation or unease. The only time it disyed any aggression was because of the Little Fox¡¯s sudden appearance, but even then, it was also stopped by Giles. However, if spirit beasts stayed in such an environment with low spiritual energy for a long time, it would have a rather obvious effect on the physiology and mentality of the spirit beasts. Therefore, for safety reasons, Giles also kept the Little Fox in his arms and the Metal-feathered Eagle beside him into the spatial tattoos on his arm, so as to prevent any adverse effects from affecting their bodies. After storing all the spirit beasts in the spatial tattoos, Giles, who had run out of the spirit beast section, hurriedly rushed to the main door where Starlux Gym¡¯s reception area was located. ¡°Huff! Huff¡­ Looks like there¡¯s still time.¡± Seeing that there was no one outside Starlux Gym, Giles, who was panting heavily, began to calm his breathing. His extremely nervous heart finally rxed. Fortunately, this month is the period when Beast Tamers team up to hunt outside the city. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there should already be four or five people standing at the door by now. If people lodge aint to the Beast Tamer Association about something as trivial as opening the gymte, it will cause trouble for Sister Hash again. ¡°I better open the door of the gym first before going to the reception area to activate the emergency power. I¡¯ll use theputer to see what¡¯s going on with the spiritual energy supply station.¡± Giles wiped the sweat from his face and took out the key to Starlux Gym¡¯s door from his spatial wristband. Now that the spiritual energy supply had been cut off, he could not unlock the door using passwords or fingerprints. He could only use the most traditional method. Just as Giles took out his key and was about to open the door, he suddenly noticed an envelope stuck in the mailbox beside the door. ¡°Spiritual Energy Supply Station? It¡¯s already this day and age, yet they¡¯re still sending bills using hardcopy letters. How rare!¡± Seeing that the address written on the envelope was that of the ¡®Spiritual Energy Supply Station¡¯, Giles frowned and opened the envelope. When he flipped open the folded bill and saw the number written on it, his eyes narrowed. ¡°What¡¯s going on? How did the spiritual energy consumptionst month and this month exceed by this much?¡± Chapter 92 - If You Dont Manage the Gym, You Dont Know How Expensive Spiritual Energy Costs

Chapter 92: If You Don¡¯t Manage the Gym, You Don¡¯t Know How Expensive Spiritual Energy Costs

Perhaps it was because there was a problem with the amount of spiritual energy Starlux Gym used this month as well, but before the spiritual energy supply station stopped supplying spiritual energy to Starlux Gym, besides the detailed bill fromst month, it had also sent over the detailed bill from this month up till yesterday. Although Giles did not have to worry about the monthly payment of spiritual energy for Starlux Gym, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, would asionally learn about the monthly consumption of spiritual energy from the Gym Leader. Giles was surprised to find that the bill in his hand was so detailed and it had clearly exceeded the amount of spiritual energy that Starlux Gym typically used over two months. But there were still a few days before the end of the month. Where did all the spiritual energy go? Furthermore, as an official organization under the Beast Tamer Association, Starlux Gym could also get a reimbursement for a portion of its spiritual energy expenditure every month. Therefore, logically speaking, there shouldn¡¯t be a situation where the spiritual energy supply would be cut off because they did not pay the fees. With this question in mind, Giles used his key to open the door of Starlux Gym and activated the emergency power supply in the reception area. In order to prevent the power from depleting too quickly, he only turned on the light at the front desk for the time being. Sitting at the front desk, Giles began to flip through the bills on the spiritual energy usage of the various areas of Starlux Gym. This was because sincest month, Gym Leader Alice, who usually used the evaluation section, had already left. As he was participating in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, he had not been in Starlux Gym for a long time. In addition, he had also brought the spirit beast cubs from the spirit beast section along with him. Based on this calction, the main area where Starlux Gym would consume spiritual energy during this period would only be the training ground that Beast Tamers borrowed daily. With this thought in mind, the first thing Giles flipped through was the detailed bill for the spiritual energy use in the training area. However, to his surprise, the spiritual energy used in the training area was even lesser than in the past few months. This was also because this month was the month when Beast Tamers would team up to hunt outside the city. The Beast Tamers who came to Starlux Gym every day to borrow the training ground were now mostly in the wilderness. Therefore, the spiritual energy consumption in the training ground had mainly decreased from the beginning of this month. That¡¯s strange¡­ Giles lost his train of thought for a moment. He could only quickly browse through the spiritual energy usage of the other sections. Finally, his gazended on the bill for the spirit beast section. He noticed that the spirit beast section had an exceptionallyrge amount of spiritual energy consumption for a few days in the previous month. It was at least three times more than usual. Looking at the date written on the bill, Giles began to recall what had happened in the spirit-beast section over those few days. Only then did he realize that the few days when the spiritual energy consumption was especially high were the days when he told stories to the spirit beast cubs! ¡°Looks like it¡¯s because the spirit beast cubs that evolved after listening to the story absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the spirit beast section.¡± Recalling that the bills for this month had been sent over together, Giles flipped to one particr day two weeks ago. As expected, something simr happened on that particr day this month. That day happened to be the day the Metal-feathered Eagle lost control after listening to the story. ¡°Hah, if you don¡¯t manage the gym, you really won¡¯t know how expensive spiritual energy costs.¡± After finding out the reason why Starlux Gym had its spiritual energy supply cut off today, Giles looked at the amount on the bill in his hand and sighed. I didn¡¯t expect to have to worry about money one day. Although the amount of spiritual energy consumption that the Starlux Gym exceeded was only equivalent to about a week of normal spiritual energy consumption, the cost of the spiritual energy was not a small sum. Before Giles took over the management of the gym, his job was only to be a ¡®breeder of the Beast-taming section of the Beast-taming Gym¡¯. Ever since the previous Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, who had adopted Giles, had mistakenly thought that Giles could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts, he had begun to groom Giles as a professional breeder. Otherwise, in this era where almost everyone was a Beast Tamer, Giles, who did not have any specialties or abilities, would bepletely eliminated. Therefore, although the misunderstanding that he could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts had held Giles back for more than a decade, when he thought about how the previous Gym Leader had patiently taught him how to raise spirit beasts every day for the past decade, Giles only felt grateful towards the previous Gym Leader. It was also because Giles had been carefully guided by the Gym Leader since he was five or six years old that he officially learned the method and skills to raise spirit beasts. Giles, who had been helping out and learning in the spirit-beast section, had already begun to receive the ¡°sry¡± equivalent to that of an apprentice breeder. However, his ¡°sry¡± was still called ¡°allowance¡± at that time. After turning 18 years old, Giles followed the previous Gym Leader to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch and filled out an application form to be an apprentice breeder in the spirit-beast section of Starlux Gym. Four years after bing an apprentice breeder, he was now an official employee and could already take charge. However, after Giles became an adult, his food and living space were all still provided by Starlux Gym. After deducting a portion of his sry for that, the money Giles earned each month was actually less than that of the other employees working at Starlux Gym. Even though Giles had grown up with Alice, who was the current Gym Leader of Starlux Gym and who regarded Giles as her younger brother, Alice did not take special care of him in this regard. However, it was also because Gym Leader Alice and the previous Gym Leader stuck to their principles that they were especially clear about separating business and personal matters. In the twenty-plus years that Giles had lived with them, they had gotten along very well. They had never had any arguments over differing opinions. Hah, let¡¯s think about how to get this money first¡­ Looking at the amount on the bill in his hand, Giles sighed helplessly. This was equivalent to the one-week spiritual energy consumption for all areas of Starlux Gym! Even if he used all the money he had saved up over the years to make up for it, he still wouldn¡¯t have enough. Gym Leader Alice hasn¡¯t contacted me in more than a month. ording to what Sister Hash told me two weeks ago, it¡¯s best if I don¡¯t contact her now. Giles, who was worried about theck of money, began to wonder if there was any way to solve the problem he had created. After all, it would be seven o¡¯clock in a few minutes. There might be one or two Beast Tamers who woulde over to borrow the training ground soon, but the backup spiritual energy stored in the training area would definitely notst past this morning. As an Elite Beast Tamer, Sister Hash will definitely be able to fork out this sum of money. But I haven¡¯t had the time to visit her since we met two weeks ago. It¡¯s not very nice for me to go and look for her now to borrow money. Besides, I rarely trouble others. Let¡¯s forget about bothering Sister Hash¡­ I¡¯d better turn on theputer and pay the bill online first. I¡¯ll contact the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch to see if I can get an advance on my sry for the next two months. At the thought of this, Giles, who was frowning slightly, scratched his head. Looks like after the problem of the spiritual energy supply is resolved, I¡¯ll have to think about earning money.¡± ¡°Excuse me¡­ Is anyone there?¡± Just as Giles was about to turn on hisputer and pay the bill online, a question rang out from the door at the reception area. As the only light in the entire reception area was from the front desk, that person merely stood at the door and had no intention of entering. ¡°There is! There is!¡± Giles, who had snapped out of it when he heard that someone hade, quickly rose from his seat at the front desk. Although the problem of the spiritual energy supply had yet to be resolved, he still smiled and stretched out his hand to greet the person at the door as usual. ¡°Beast Tamer, are you here to borrow the training ground?¡± Chapter 93 - I Want to Challenge Starlux Gym

Chapter 93: I Want to Challenge Starlux Gym

¡°Hu, thank goodness there¡¯s someone here.¡± Seeing that someone had stood up from the front desk, the person at the door heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to the front desk. ¡°Aye! Giles, so you¡¯re on duty today!¡± Seeming to have recognized the staff member at the front desk as Giles, the person eximed and asked Giles curiously, ¡°Why is the front desk the only one with the lights on in such arge reception area?¡± ¡°Yes? Annie?¡± Giles, who was standing at the front desk, found the person¡¯s voice familiar. At first, he thought he had heard wrong. As the entire reception area was pitch ck apart from the lights on at the front desk, it was not convenient for Giles to verify. When the person approached the front desk, Giles finally recognized her as Alina¡¯s younger sister, Annie, who was also the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. ¡°I heard from Mr Gars, the person in charge of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, that ever since your older sister Alina consumed the Dragon Blood Grass to treat her illness, both of you have returned to your hometown in Yorkshire.¡± As the first Beast Tamer toe to Starlux Gym to borrow the training ground this morning, Annie¡¯s appearance took Giles by surprise. ¡°From our base city to Yorkshire, it would take two days to fly even if it¡¯s on the fastest spiritual-energy airship. It¡¯ll take four days to travel back and forth.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only been two weeks since Alina and I returned to the base city from the Decker Mountain Range.¡± ¡°In other words, you and Alina have only stayed for less than ten days after returning to your hometown in Yorkshire?¡± Giles had some understanding of Alina¡¯s health. Although her curse-like illness had been cured after consuming the Dragon Blood Grass, she still had to recuperate for a while to absorb the powerful medicinal effects of the Dragon Blood Grass. Alina¡¯s situation, which required time to absorb and recover, was actually simr to Giles¡¯ absorption of the spiritual energy in his left arm. Therefore, when he thought about how Alina¡¯s body might worsen because of the journey, Giles couldn¡¯t help but worry about Alina, who had fought alongside him previously. ¡°Miss Alina has just regained her health. I don¡¯t rmend that she travel back and forth on such a long journey. Her body might be affected.¡± As the only light in the reception area that was turned on was by the front desk, the brightness was limited. Furthermore, Giles was currently worried about Alina¡¯s health. When he said this, he did not notice that Annie¡¯s expression had changed. When Annie heard Giles¡¯ concern about her sister, Alina, right after he had greeted her, the excitement and joy she felt when she saw Giles immediately dissipated. However, Annie did not know why her feelings were affected by that sentence. This was because she hade to look for Giles today and had wanted to tell Giles about her sister¡¯s situation. However, when Giles asked about her sister, her heart wavered. Annie, Annie, what¡¯s going on with you today? Annie shook her head slightly, trying to calm down. ¡°Giles, don¡¯t worry. I came to the base city alone first.¡± ¡°Sister Alina is still recuperating in Yorkshire.¡± Annie¡¯s words made Giles relieved. Recalling that it was still working hours, he asked Annie curiously, ¡°Annie, are you here to borrow the training ground today? I remember that there are many Beast-taming Gyms in Yorkshire too.¡± ¡°Giles, I¡¯m not here to borrow the training ground today.¡± Annie told him the reason she came back from Yorkshire. ¡°Previously, I followed Sister Alina back to our hometown in Yorkshire because I wanted to challenge the Beast-taming Gyms.¡± ¡°But in the past two weeks, weren¡¯t the Beast-taming Gyms temporarily closed under the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s notice?¡± ¡°I originally thought that I would at least seed once, but three days ago, the Yorkshire Beast-taming Gyms¡¯ turn to close.¡± ¡°Later, I heard that the Beast-taming Gyms in Florida have already been opened, so I came back first.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Upon hearing that Annie had returned here to challenge the Beast-taming Gyms, Giles nodded thoughtfully and gave Annie some suggestions, ¡°Annie, although the Beast-taming Gyms have been temporarily closed this year, the Global Beast Tamer Tournament will still be held as scheduled.¡± ¡°If you n to participate in this year¡¯s National Beast Tamer Tournament, the time might be a little tight. I suggest that you try your best not to go to other states after this.¡± ¡°As the Beast-taming Gyms in our Florida base city and those in the neighboring nge City were the first to close, they¡¯ve beenpletely open sincest week.¡± ¡°In the other states, there should be many Beast-taming Gyms that will still be closed this month. In order to gather eight gym badges in the shortest time, the simplest and most direct method is to challenge eight Beast-taming Gyms in the same base city.¡± The act of ¡°challenging eight Beast-taming Gyms in the same base city¡± was actually approved and rmended by the Beast Tamer Association. This was because when the Global Beast Tamer Tournament had just been established, the transportationwork between the base cities was not as developed as it was now. Furthermore, the areas outside the bases were almost equivalent to the territories of ferocious beasts. At that time, forget about crossing states to challenge other Beast-taming Gyms, they might have been attacked by many ferocious beasts on the way to the nearby base city. Therefore, almost all the Beast Tamers who participated in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament had collected eight badges from the same base city. Now that the transportation was convenient, and themunication between the various base cities was frequent, it resulted in Beast Tamers challenging Beast-taming Gyms in other base cities. These kinds of challenges not only allowed them to experience the different culture and customs of other base cities, but it also allowed them toe into contact with the strength and specialties of other Beast-taming Gyms. Furthermore, the matter of ¡®leaving the base city that they lived in and entering the dangerous wilderness¡¯ was a form of training for Beast Tamers. As for the questions about the disparity in strength between the various Beast-taming Gyms¡­ At the end of the day, the Beast-taming Gyms in each base city were only organizations that evaluated the strength of Beast Tamers and spirit beasts. When facing a Beast Tamer¡¯s challenge, the Gym Leader only needed to bring out a spirit beast that was simr in strength to the challenger¡¯s spirit beast to fight. This was merely a basic requirement for the Gym Leader whose average strength would be above Gold rank. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s right, Giles. Actually, that¡¯s what I thought too. That¡¯s why I came to you today.¡± When Annie heard Giles voice out what she was thinking, she nodded at Giles happily. ¡°Annie, if you want to challenge the Beast-taming Gyms in our base city, I rmend you to go to Irnd Gym first.¡± Seeing that his suggestion was the same as Annie¡¯s, Giles began to rmend and analyze the current situation of the other Beast-taming Gyms in the base city. ¡°Although Irnd Gym is currently the second most powerful gym in our base city, your Green-tailed Cat, which is a nt-type spirit beast, can restrain the rock-type spirit beasts of Gym Leader Crowley.¡± ¡°No, no, no, Giles. I think you probably got me wrong.¡± Before Giles could introduce the other Beast-taming Gyms, Annie raised her hand and interrupted Giles. ¡°The reason why I came to Starlux Gym to look for you today is neither to borrow the training ground nor to consult about other Beast-taming Gym.¡± ¡°I came to you for only one purpose today, and that is to challenge Starlux Gym.¡± Chapter 94 - Punishment from the Headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association

Chapter 94: Punishment from the Headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Annie, did I hear wrongly? You said that you want to challenge Starlux Gym?¡± What Annie said puzzled Giles. ¡°Didn¡¯t you get the badge of Starlux Gymst month?¡± ¡°Could there be another Starlux Gym in this base city?¡± ¡°This is because¡­¡± Annie was about to exin the reason to Giles when she was interrupted by a voiceing from outside the door before she could finish. ¡°I was the one who informed her toe over¡­ ah¡­ Is it because I woke up too early today? So sleepy¡­¡± The voice even yawned as it spoke. ¡°Sister Hash? Why are you here today?¡± Hearing this familiar voice and thiszy yawn, even before he looked out the door, Giles knew that the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, had arrived . ¡°I¡¯m here to inspect your work. I¡¯m here to conduct an unannounced inspection to see if you opened the door on time this morning.¡± Upon hearing Giles call her ¡°Sister,¡± Hash joked with Giles. As she spoke, she stretched, not caring about the visual impact her curvaceous body would cause. ¡°But it looks like you¡¯ve only opened the door a short while ago. The only light turned on in the entire reception area is at the front desk.¡± The first thing Hash did when she walked in was to press the switch to turn on all the lighting equipment in the reception area. ¡°No¡­ Hah¡­¡± When Giles heard what Hash said, he wanted to stop Hash, but he was toote. Looking at all the equipment in the reception area light up as usual, Giles sighed. Hash had already turned the switch on, so it was not possible for him to turn it off again. ¡°Hmm? Is that a problem?¡± Hearing Giles sigh, Hash tilted her head and looked at Giles curiously. ¡°Uh, there¡¯s no problem.¡± In the face of Hash¡¯s question, Giles subconsciously shook his head, but he was still feeling conflicted. Should he tell them that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off? Standing in front of him were Annie and Hash. One was the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, while the other was an Elite Beast Tamer. The amount of money that he was still short of was something that any one of them could easily fork out. However, he usually resolved his own problems by himself and didn¡¯t like to trouble others. Furthermore, the reason why Starlux Gym¡¯s spirit energy supply had been cut off was also because he had been telling stories to the spirit beast cubs. He should repay the portion of the money he owed on his own. Hah, I hope that the backup spiritual energy supply and the electricity for the reception area canst a while longer.? At the very least, it has tost until I deal with Sister Hash and Annie. At the thought of this, Giles adjusted his emotions. To change the topic, he asked about Annie challenging Starlux Gym, ¡°Sister Hash, didn¡¯t Annie already obtain the badge for Starlux Gym?¡± ¡°Why did you especiallye with her to challenge me again?¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ question, Hash snorted and asked Giles a question in return, ¡°Hmph, you still have the cheek to bring this up?¡± ¡°Two weeks ago, after I went back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch from Starlux Gym, I took a look.¡± ¡°How many times have you epted challenges from Beast Tamers after Alice left Starlux Gym?¡± ¡°Giles, in this regard, you didn¡¯t cause me any trouble. The number of times you epted challenges from Beast Tamers is less than five.¡± ¡°However, this might also be because you¡¯ve been away for a long time to participate in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match.¡± ¡°Even if you only epted the challenges from Beast Tamers a couple of times, it was still a vition of the rules for you to give a Beast Tamer a badge.¡± ¡°And the Beast Tamer who obtained the Starlux Gym badge because of your infraction was Miss Annie.¡± At this point, Hash looked at Giles with a stern gaze. In that instant, Hash¡¯s demeanor changed from the big sister next door who never had enough sleep to that of an Elite Beast Tamer. Due to the fact that Giles had already mentioned this to Hash previously, he was actually very calm in the face of the uing punishment. ¡°Your Excellency, what is the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters for me?¡± This kid¡¯s mental fortitude is quite strong! If it were any other person his age, even if they didn¡¯t know what the punishment was, they would have already started begging me. When she heard Giles address her as¡¯ Your Excellency ¡®, Hash¡¯s sharp eyes could not help but reveal her admiration for Giles. However, admiration was just admiration. Regarding the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association headquarters to Giles, Hash continued to maintain a business-like attitude. ¡°In short, after the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters learned about what had happened in Starlux Gym, because of your good attitude in taking the initiative to admit your mistake plus this is also the first time you¡¯ve made such a mistake, so the punishment will also be light. They will probably deduct two months of your sry, that¡¯s about it?¡± ¡°Okay, alright. Your Excellency, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to report back to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters.¡± After hearing the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters, Giles bowed respectfully to Hash and expressed his gratitude. This was because Giles knew very well that although he had left a good impression on Hash the other day when she came to Starlux Gym, regarding the matter of ¡®your good attitude in taking the initiative to admit your mistake¡¯, it actually all depended on how Hash reported the matter to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. From the oue, despite himmitting such a mistake, the final punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters was only to deduct two months of his sry. Therefore, as Alice¡¯s ex-ssmate, Hashmust have helped him a lot in this matter. However, although Giles appeared calm and even thanked Hash, he felt awful at the thought of his sry being deducted for the next two months. The reason was simple.It was because he was in need of money right now. Initially, he had wanted to tell the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch for an advance on the next two months of his sry so as to pay for the missing amount for the spiritual energy consumption bill. However, his sry had been deducted by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters for two months. He had no choice but to think of another solution. ¡°Giles, regarding the vition of the rules of awarding Miss Annie with the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters had originally nned to directly take back Annie¡¯s badge.¡± Just as Giles was thinking about whether there were any other ways to earn money, Hash¡¯s words caught his attention. ¡°However, given that you still have a Silver-rank spirit beast, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters gave you and Starlux Gym a chance.¡± Chapter 95 - Im Sorry, I Refuse

Chapter 95: I¡¯m Sorry, I Refuse

¡°A chance?¡± Only then did Giles, who had snapped out of it, notice that Hash was now standing between him and Annie. ¡°Yes, a chance.¡± Seeing Giles look at her curiously, Hash nodded at him. ¡°Ever since the Beast-taming Gyms in this base city were closed for a week under the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s notice, the evaluation sections have been opened again sincest week.¡± ¡°However, as Gym Leader Alice has been away for a long time, the evaluation section has yet to be opened up even until today. You can only loan out the training area for Beast Tamers to train.¡± ¡°This situation has already been reported to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters by a Beast Tamer who lives on a nearby street. The Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters also ces great importance on this special situation that has urred in Starlux Gym.¡± ¡°After learning about your performance in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament and the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters decided to let me, an Elite Beast Tamer, evaluate your ability.¡± ¡°And the content of this ability evaluation is very simple.¡± At that, Hash paused and looked sideways at Giles. He pointed to Annie, who was standing on the other side. ¡°That is to have Miss Annie, who obtained the Starlux badge because of a vition, bring her Gold-rank spirit beast to Starlux Gym to challenge it again.¡± ¡°Giles, if you can use your Silver-rank spirit beast to defeat Annie¡¯s spirit beast, then as the referee and a witness, I will send the recording of this battle to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters and provide the relevant proof on your behalf.¡± ¡°After passing the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters¡¯ evaluation, you will be appointed as the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym until Gym Leader Alice returns to Starlux Gym.¡± ¡°During this period, Starlux Gym will open its evaluation section like the other Beast-taming Gyms in the base city, providing evaluation and challenge services to Beast Tamers who live in the nearby streets.¡± ¡°Furthermore, if you can possess more than three Gold-rank spirit beasts after bing the Acting Gym Leader, you will be officially recognized by the official authority of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters and officially be the tenth Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.¡± Just like Giles had spected in his mind previously, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters¡¯ punishment for him was as simple as deducting two months of his sry because Hash, who was an elite Beast Tamer, had helped Giles a lot when handling these problems. The reason Hash helped Giles and Starlux Gym was not only because she admired Giles after interacting with him, but also because she and Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, were ex-ssmates and old rivals. Therefore, Hash nned to groom Giles into a qualified Beast-taming Gym Leader while Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was away. When Alice returned, she could give her a surprise and prove that she was stronger than her. Most importantly, if Giles were to officially be the tenth Gym Leader of Starlux Gym under her grooming, Alice, who would then be the previous Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, could retire early. This way, Alice, who was now free, would have plenty of time and energy to chase after her, the leader. Alice, there¡¯s less than half a year left to the three-year bet between us. I won¡¯t let you use the excuse that you¡¯re busy after bing the Gym Leader. When she imagined her old rival, Alice, returning and seeing her younger brother, Giles, who had grown up with her, be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym under her care, Hash could not help but smile. It was so bad that she hadn¡¯t noticed that Giles had been deep in thought for a while after she proposed the details of the ability evaluation. In her opinion, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, had no reason to turn down this evaluation that could gradually help him transition from being an ¡°Acting Gym Leader¡± to an ¡°Official Gym Leader¡±. Besides, this was an evaluation issued by the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association. Furthermore, this also involved the fundamental interest of whether the Beast Tamers from the streets around Starlux Gym coulde here to have their strength evaluated. In other words, even if Giles lost to Annie in the uing evaluation, he was not allowed to turn down this ability assessment! However, even though Hash was extremely confident, she did not expect Giles to be in a situation that was far moreplicated than what she knew. To the current Giles, he no longer cared whether he was the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym or the official Gym Leader. However, apart from the need to use the training ground, the Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets also needed to go to the Beast-taming Gym to have their strength evaluated. If the evaluation section of Starlux Gym remained closed, they could only go to the other Beast-taming Gyms in the base city. This round trip, together with the evaluation and challenge duration, would take at least a day. If the evaluation section of Starlux Gym was open, they wouldn¡¯t have to go through so much trouble. Therefore, the Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets had sent a joint letter to report this situation to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. However, Giles nned to reject the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters¡¯ suggestion for the ability evaluation. This was because although the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s data had already reached the standard for a Gold-rank bird-type spirit beast, it was still a Silver-rank spirit beast. Moreover, it had been nearly a month since Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat broke through to the Gold rank. Giles had fought Annie a few times before and knew the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s situation very well. He was indeed confident that the Metal-feathered Eagle could defeat Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat. However, the Metal-feathered Eagle might break through to the Gold rank in the next day or two. Giles had no way of ensuring that the Metal-feathered Eagle would not encounter any idents in battle, so he did not n on letting the Metal-feathered Eagle fight. Moreover, if he really defeated Annie, Annie¡¯s Starlux Badge would be taken back. To Beast Tamers, losing a badge had a huge impact on them. This was because there were only a few months left until the Global Beast Tamer Tournament began. Most importantly, even if Giles agreed to ept this ability evaluation now, the spiritual energy supply for the training ground in the evaluation section, which was used to ept challenges from Beast Tamers, had already been cut off. Hah, looks like I can only use the reason that the Metal-feathered Eagle has yet to recover to postpone the ability evaluation. I¡¯ll get Sister Hash and Annie toe back in a few days.¡± ¡°After I deal with all of them, I have to solve the problem of the spiritual energy supply as soon as possible.¡± Thus, after a few seconds of silence, he said something that neither Hashi nor Annie expected, ¡°Your Excellency Hash, Miss Annie, I¡¯m sorry. I can¡¯t ept this ability evaluation right now.¡± Chapter 96 - Hash Making Use of the Loophole in the Rules for Giles’ Sake

Chapter 96: Hash Making Use of the Loophole in the Rules for Giles¡¯ Sake

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°You won¡¯t ept it?!¡± When Hash and Annie heard that Giles would not ept this ability evaluation, they eximed in confusion almost simultaneously. Hash had thought that she had everything under control regarding Starlux Gym and Giles, but Giles had now made the choice to turn down the ability evaluation. This hadpletely disrupted her meticulously thought-out n. This was because even if Giles really lost to Annie in this ability evaluation, as long as he could unleash the strength of his Metal-feathered Eagle as usual during the evaluation, Hash would be able to produce proof that Giles was worthy of being nurtured as the Gym Leader when she sent the recording of this ability evaluation to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. If not for the fact that the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters needed to save a recording of the battle in the records of Starlux Gym, Hash could even use her identity as an Elite Beast Tamer to vouch for Giles and issue a certification for him. Hash thought that Giles was worth it because after interacting with Giles, she had learned that Giles was a qualified Beast Tamer . Furthermore, two weeks ago, after Hash returned to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch from Starlux Gym, she specially went to watch the recording of Giles participating in the Beast-taming Gym Tournament. While watching the recording, Hash realized that although the instructions Giles gave whenmanding his spirit beasts in battle were short and direct, and almost all the battles relied on the barbaric strength of his spirit beasts to defeat their opponents, Giles¡¯ understanding of the various spirit beasts and his ability to perform and handle the situation during battle were all fine. Therefore, in Hash¡¯s opinion, whether it was Giles¡¯ personality, character, his love for spirit beasts, or his ability tomand in battle, they were allpletely in line with the basic requirements of bing a Gym Leader. Unfortunately, Giles¡¯ own strength and the spirit beasts he possessed had yet to reach the Gold rank, which was the minimum requirement for bing a Gym Leader. Even if Hash had written to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters to rmend Giles, he would not have been able to directly be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. However, it was during this week that Hash had seized an opportunity! Due to Alice, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, not returning for a long time, the evaluation section of Starlux Gym had not been opened to other Beast Tamers. As a result, Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets could only go to other Beast-taming gyms to evaluate their strength and challenge the Gym Leader there. As such, they had already reported this situation to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters a few times this week. They had even sent out a joint petition the day before yesterday. As Hash was also the one who had met Giles with the mission from the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters previously, thus, after the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters received the joint petition, they immediately contacted the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who was working in this base city. When she heard the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters begin to ask her if there was a suitable candidate for the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, Hash, who had been waiting for many days, knew that Giles¡¯ opportunity had arrived. However, as Giles had previously vited the rules, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters did not intend to give Giles this opportunity. Hash sent the list of names that she had specially collected over this period of time to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. The name list was filled with people who had worked at Starlux Gym before, including the current staff of Starlux Gym. After verifying that the people on this list were real, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters contacted them and asked about Giles. When it came to their opinion of Giles as the Acting Gym Leader, none of these staff objected, and they were very optimistic about him. The reason being that in order to be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, one would have to shoulder the responsibility of nurturing the spirit beasts in the spirit beast section. Other than Gym Leader Alice, Giles, the professional breeder, was the only one who took care of the spirit beasts in the spirit-beast section. Furthermore, not only did Giles usually do his job as a breeder, but whenever he had the time, he would take the initiative to go to the other areas of Starlux Gym to learn and help. Therefore, these staff members had a very good impression of Giles. As Gym Leader Alice had to train her own spirit beasts daily, and still help Beast Tamers evaluate their spirit beasts¡¯ strength as well as ept challenges from Beast Tamers, Giles, who helped and learned in the various section every day, actually knew more about the specific work situation in Starlux Gym than Alice, who was the Gym Leader. Seeing that Giles was so highly rmended by the staff of Starlux Gym, and that the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who had rmended Giles, had even offered to vouch for him, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters considered that they also could not find another suitable candidate within a short period of time. Thus, they could only give this opportunity to Giles, who was previously no longer within their consideration. However, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters also requested the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who was the guarantor, to conduct an ability evaluation for Giles. The details of the evaluation would be decided by Hash, but it had to be ¡°fair, just, and open¡±. Furthermore, there had to be a recording of the battle that could prove Giles¡¯ potential, because this would have to be kept in the records of Starlux Gym. Thus, in order to make up for Giles¡¯ previous vition, Hash, who had taken advantage of this opportunity, proposed her evaluation to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. That was to let Miss Annie, who was supposed to have her Starlux Badge taken back, bring her Gold-rank spirit beast to challenge Starlux Gym again. This was because Giles also had a Silver-rank spirit beast now. If Giles could use that Silver-rank spirit beast to defeat Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast, it would mean that hismanding ability was at least at the level of a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. This could also be considered as the threshold to be the Beast-taming Gym¡¯s Gym Leader. Furthermore, whether it was Giles winning against Annie and having her Starlux Gym Badge taken back, or Giles losing to Annie, thereby allowing Annie to obtain the Starlux Badge in a justifiable manner, it would all be able to offset the previous vitions under the witness of an Elite Beast Tamer like Hash. Furthermore, when the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association proposed for Hash to decide on a test for Giles¡¯ abilities, it was purely to leave a recording of the battle in the records of Starlux Gym. However, it allowed Hash to use this opportunity to sessfully make use of the official process to offset the vition that Giles had previouslymitted. Regarding the matter of ¡°letting Hash make use of the loophole¡±, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters could not do anything about it. They could only agree to the evaluation proposed by Hash. This was because the evaluation seemed extremely fair and even seemed to be on Annie¡¯s side. After Hash¡¯s evaluation two weeks ago, the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association also learned that Giles¡¯ Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle had undergone an evolution but was iplete. Compared to Annie Green-tailed Cat, who had already reached the Gold-rankst month, there was a clear disparity in their strength. Therefore, not only was the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters not optimistic about Giles¡¯ chances, but even Hash, who had proposed the evaluation, did not expect Giles to defeat Annie. Could it be because of the Metal-feathered Eagle that Giles is afraid of losing to Annie in the ability evaluation? When this thought arose in Hash¡¯s mind, she immediately rejected it. That¡¯s probably not possible. Based on what I know about Giles, he is clearly not the type to cower in the face of a reason like that. Could the problem lie with Miss Annie? At the thought of this, Hash shifted her gaze to Annie, who was equally stunned. She suddenly noticed that Annie¡¯s eyes seemed to glow with happiness after she snapped out of her daze from hearing Giles¡¯ sentence. She also began to blush slightly. Oh! I get it! So that¡¯s how it is! Chapter 97 - I Understand You, Because I Was Also Your Age Once Upon a Time

Chapter 97: I Understand You, Because I Was Also Your Age Once Upon a Time

Looks like Giles and Annie aren¡¯t ordinary friends¡­ As she looked at Annie¡¯s shy expression, which seemed to suggest that she was a girl in love, realisation dawned on Hash. Annie clearly liked Giles, and perhaps Giles had chosen to turn down this ability evaluation because he had some feelings for Annie. If that was the case, then the vition that Giles had made previously and his calm and indifferent attitude when he heard about the punishment issued by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters made sense! As Giles had only epted challenges from Beast Tamers a few times previously, after watching the recording of the matches that Giles had participated in for the Beast-taming Gym Tournament, Hash conveniently finished watching the recording of Giles¡¯ matches with the challengers. As the only Beast Tamer among the challengers who had obtained the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge, Hash was the most concerned about the recording of Annie¡¯s challenge against Giles. After watching all the battle videos, Hash realized that Annie had challenged Giles twice. In the first challenge, her silver-rank Green-tailed Cat was quickly defeated by the Gold-rank spirit beast that Giles had at that time. However, in the battle recording, Hash could tell that Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat hade to challenge him while injured, which was why it did not manage to dodge the attack in time. Giles had clearly noticed this at that time, so after the battle ended, he pointed out Annie¡¯s negligence as a Beast Tamer and reminded Annie that ¡°spirit beasts are not tools that Beast Tamers use to obtain their badges.¡± It was also because of Giles¡¯ performance in this battle recording that Hash waspletely convinced in her heart that not only was Giles a qualified Beast Tamer, but he also possessed the qualities to be the Gym Leader. When Annie came to challenge Giles for the second time, her Green-tailed Cat had already broken through to the Gold rank from Silver rank, but she still lost to Giles¡¯ Gold-rank spirit beast. Furthermore, Hash realized thatpared to Annie¡¯s first challenge, Giles seemed to have deliberately gotten his Gold-rank spirit beast to go easy on Annie during the second challenge. However, even so, Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat, which had just broken through to the Gold rank, did not win. However, after the battle ended, Giles still awarded Annie with the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge. He alsopleted the evaluation to certify Annie as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer and the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s Gold-rank strength. At first, Hash did not understand why Giles would go all out against the wounded Green-tailed Cat in the first challenge yet show mercy to the Gold-rank Green-tailed Cat in the second challenge. However, when she saw Giles officially giving Annie the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge, she finally understood what Giles¡¯ intention was. At the end of the day, the Beast-taming Gym was just an evaluation agency. Therefore, it was not only possible by defeating the Gym Leader that one could obtain the badge of the gym. As a challenger, as long as the Beast Tamer¡¯s character and the strength of the spirit beast were recognized by the Beast-taming Gym¡¯s Gym Leader, the Gym Leader could award the Beast Tamer and the spirit beast the Gym¡¯s badge after the battle ended. Therefore, even if Annie¡¯s injured Green-tailed Cat could really defeat Giles¡¯ Gold-rank spirit beast in the first challenge, Giles would also refuse to give Annie the badge of Starlux Gym because he did not acknowledge her, who was a negligent Beast Tamer. In the second challenge, not only had Annie and the Green-tailed Cat gotten closer, but the Green-tailed Cat had also broken through to the Gold rank under Annie¡¯s training. Faced with the efforts and obvious improvements in Annie and the Green-tailed Cat, Giles still won against Annie even though he was lenient. Out of his acknowledgement of Annie and the Green-tailed Cat, he could also certify Annie¡¯s Gold-rank Beast Tamer status as well as the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s Gold-rank strength and give Annie the badge of Starlux Gym. Of course, the premise was that he had to be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Only then would he have the right to do so. Therefore, whether it was epting the challenge from a Beast Tamer or granting the Gym¡¯s badge, Giles, who had grown up in Starlux Gym, had no problems with these procedures. The only reason the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters would determine that Giles had vited the rules was because he had yet to go to the Beast Tamer Association to register and submit his application. Only after Giles passed the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters¡¯ evaluation could he be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym and have the right to give the challenger the badge. Furthermore, after Gym Leader Alice went to the Hengduan Mountain Range to investigate Mythic-rank spirit beasts, Giles didn¡¯t have to worry about the services of the Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section. However, what the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters did not expect was that Giles would actually ept the challenge from Beast Tamers and even win against all the challengers. It was also because of these reasons that when the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters received Hash¡¯s proposal for the evaluation of Giles¡¯ abilities, they had no choice but to agree to it. This was because Giles was indeed the most suitable candidate to be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. However, even though Hash had made thorough preparations for Giles and even paved the way for him such that it would be enough as long as he walked this path, Giles still surprised Hash when he said, ¡°can¡¯t ept this ability evaluation¡±. That¡¯s right! Giles said ¡®I can¡¯t ept this now¡¯, not ¡®I won¡¯t ept it now¡¯! In that case, there must be a reason why he can¡¯t ept this ability evaluation! The reason should be because of this Miss Annie! From the recording of the two matches when Giles had epted Annie¡¯s challenges, even if he didn¡¯t like Annie, he still approved and admired her. Therefore, even though Giles knew that he had vited the rules by epting Annie¡¯s challenge and giving her the badge, he still decided to do so. Furthermore, even though the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters had already issued the punishment, Giles, who already knew the consequences, had chosen to reject the ability evaluation for Annie¡¯s sake. Wait! If that¡¯s truly the case, doesn¡¯t that mean that Giles is confident that he can use his Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle to defeat Annie¡¯s Gold-rank Green-tailed Cat? After realizing this, Hash suddenly realized that she had discovered another side of Giles yet again. Alice, apart from his strong abilities, I also didn¡¯t expect your younger brother, Giles, to have such a gentle side to him. No wonder this Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce likes him. It¡¯s just that¡­ Thinking of this, Hash put away her serious business-like expression. She then smiled as she joked with Giles, ¡°Giles, I can understand your feelings for Annie. After all, I was also your age once upon a time.¡± ¡°However, work is work. You can¡¯t let your personal feelings affect your choice.¡± Chapter 98 - This is the Reason

Chapter 98: This is the Reason

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Annie heard Hash kidding with Giles, she felt like her inner thoughts had been exposed. She then turned her head slightly, not daring to look in Hash and Giles¡¯ direction at all, afraid that their eyes would meet. The redness on her face quickly spread from her cheeks to her entire face. Even her ears were red. After she had snapped out of her daze from Giles¡¯ words, the reason for the happiness in her eyes and the slight blush on her cheeks were because her thoughts were exactly as Hash had spected. Not long after she returned to this base city yesterday, Hash had gone to the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce and found her, asking her toe to Starlux Gym this morning. After the person in charge of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, Mr Gars, made the introduction, Annie, who did not understand what was going on, realized that this sleepy-looking Big Sister Hash was actually the youngest Elite Beast Tamer! Since her goal was to participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament, Annie took this opportunity to have a chat with Hash to understand the specific situation. When Annie learned that Giles¡¯ act of giving her the Starlux badge was a vition, the first thing that she was worried about was not that her badge might be taken back by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. Instead, she agitatedly asked Hash what the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters punishment for viting the rules was. Hash told Annie that the purpose of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters sending Annie to Starlux Gym was to let her challenge Giles, and this was a test of whether Giles was qualified to be the Acting Gym Leader. When Annie learned of this situation, she was also feeling conflicted and struggled internally. This was because she had previously learned from her elder sister, Alina, that when Giles participated in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match held in the Decker Mountain Range, the few spirit beasts he had were all severely injured in the battle with the Beast Blood Sect. Annie had also confirmed this with Hash, but Hash told her that Giles still had a Silver-rank spirit beast, the Metal-feathered Eagle, that could fight against her Green-tailed Cat. Although Annie had only been a Gold-rank Beast Tamer for less than a month, she already had a clear understanding of hermanding abilities and the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s actualbat abilities. Therefore, even if Giles had won the Beast-taming Gym Tournament before, Annie did not think that her Gold-rank Green-tailed Cat would lose to the Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle. However, Annie actually did not want to challenge Starlux Gym. The reason was very simple. If she defeated Giles and prevented her Starlux Badge from getting retracted, Starlux Gym would continue to close the evaluation section because Giles had not passed the ability evaluation. Furthermore, in Annie¡¯s opinion, after Giles lost to her, he might even be severely punished by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters for viting the rules and giving her the badge. Therefore, after struggling internally for a few seconds, Annie told Hash that she did not intend to challenge Starlux Gym again. Then, Annie took the initiative to hand over her Starlux Gym badge to Hash, hoping that Hash would take back the Starlux Gym badge on behalf of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters. However, to Annie¡¯s surprise, after she made this decision, Hash had told her that if she really chose to do this, it would be equivalent to pushing Giles towards the edge of a cliff. This was because in the view of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters, her actions were equivalent to admitting that there was a problem with the recording of her challenge against Giles. Even if Giles had given Annie the badge via the normal process, he would be severely punished by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Headquarters because of Annie¡¯s decision. Upon hearing the reminder from Hash, who was an Elite Beast Tamer, Annie also realized the importance of this ability evaluation to Giles. This was no longer a situation that could be resolved simply by her refusal to challenge Starlux Gym. Thus, Annie could only ede to Hash¡¯s proposal and challenge Starlux Gym this morning. She hade over so early today so that she could discuss this matter with Giles in person. However, to Annie¡¯s surprise, Hash, who looked like she could never get enough sleep, arrived at Starlux Gym very early as well. She had not even had the chance to mention to Giles the reason why she wanted to challenge Starlux Gym before Hash answered first. What Annie did not expect was that when Giles heard the content of the ability evaluation, he actually chose to turn it down like her! Could it be that Giles did this because he doesn¡¯t want the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters to take back my badge? The moment this thought surfaced in her mind, Annie looked at Giles with joy and her cheeks flushed. Hash happened to catch sight of this scene, which was why Hash had reminded Giles in a joking manner. ¡°Sister Hash, Miss Annie, did you guys misunderstand something?¡± Giles couldn¡¯t help but feel puzzled that Hash had said such a strange thing after being stunned for a while. However, when he saw Annie¡¯s shy expression after hearing Hash¡¯s words, even if Giles was a clueless idiot about rtionships, he realized that Hash and Annie must have misunderstood his words. However, even though Giles realized this, he couldn¡¯t imagine how much his words had affected Hash and Annie¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Misunderstanding?¡± Giles¡¯ words caught the attention of Hash and Annie once again. They looked at Giles curiously. ¡°Giles, so what¡¯s the reason that you can¡¯t ept this ability evaluation now?¡± Click! Click! Click¡­ Giles had originally nned to use the reason ¡®the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s body has yet to recover and is temporarily unable to ept the challenge¡¯ to postpone the ability evaluation. However, before he could exin to Hash and Annie, all the lights in the reception area suddenly went out. ¡°Ah!¡± Seeing the entire reception area fall into darkness in an instant, Annie, who was focused entirely on Giles, subconsciously cried out. ¡°Miss Annie! Don¡¯t panic!¡± Compared to Annie, Hash, who was an Elite Beast Tamer, was very calm in the face of such an unexpected situation. ¡°This should just be a temporary problem due to the spiritual energy supply. Let¡¯s head out first.¡± After sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in this area, Hash quickly passed a judgment and led Annie out of Starlux Gym. Hah, will I be able to make it through in the end? Sure enough, I can¡¯t operate too many devices at the same time! Giles, who was following behind Hash and Annie, sighed helplessly. ¡°Under normal circumstances, even if the spiritual energy supply in the nearby blocks has been cut off, the spiritual energy supply in Starlux Gym wouldn¡¯t have any problems.¡± After Hash walked out of Starlux Gym, she discovered through her spiritual perception that there were no problems with the spiritual energy supply in the other areas, so she asked Giles. ¡°However, the situation now is the opposite.¡± ¡°Giles, looks like there¡¯s one more thing you need to exin to us.¡± ¡°Um, Sister Hash, these two matters are actually the same thing.¡± Seeing that Hash already knew that the spiritual energy supply at Starlux Gym had been cut off, Giles, who could no longer hide it, could only scratch his head and awkwardly take out the payment notice from the spiritual energy supply station. ¡°This is why I can¡¯t ept this ability evaluation right now.¡± Chapter 99 - Where Did Starlux Gym Use All Its Spiritual Energy This Month?

Chapter 99: Where Did Starlux Gym Use All Its Spiritual Energy This Month?

¡°What do you mean by these two matters are actually the same thing? Is it because they¡¯re both rted to this piece of paper?¡± Giles¡¯ words puzzled Hash, but she still took the paper from Giles. ¡°Payment notice for the spiritual energy supply? Is the notification method adopted by the spiritual energy supply station in this base city so traditional?¡± After seeing the words ¡°Spiritual Energy Supply Payment Notice¡± on the paper, Hash subconsciously let out a sigh that was simr to Giles¡¯ previously. ¡°Hmm? Why did Starlux Gym calcte the amount of spiritual energy used this month along with the amount usedst month?¡± Hash couldn¡¯t help but ask Giles curiously when she saw that the date on the payment notice was from the beginning ofst month until yesterday. ¡°Because the amount of spiritual energy the Starlux Gym used this month has already exceeded the fee that Gym Leader Alice paidst month.¡± After taking out the payment notice from the spiritual energy supply station, Giles truthfully told them the reason why Starlux Gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply had been cut off. ¡°Isn¡¯t there still a few days left till the end of this month? But the spiritual energy consumption for Starlux Gym has already exceeded the limit?¡± When she found out that Starlux Gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply had been cut off because its spiritual energy consumption exceeded the fees paid, Hash even specially checked today¡¯s date. ¡°Regarding the monthly spiritual energy bill for Beast-taming Gyms, the Beast Tamer Association will subsidize a portion of it.¡± ¡°Furthermore, because the Beast Tamer Association requested for the gym closure and Gym Leader Alice had gone out, Starlux Gym has not opened the evaluation section for more than two weeks this month.¡± ¡°Additionally, since the start of this month, we have already entered the autumn harvest hunting season. There will be fewer Beast Tamers whoe to Starlux Gym to borrow the training ground aspared tost month.¡± ¡°So, Giles, why would Starlux Gym have a problem with the overconsumption of spiritual energy at a time like this?¡± As a Beast-taming Gym, Starlux Gym was an official organization under the Beast Tamer Association. The spiritual energy that Starlux Gym consumed was also a public resource that was specially provided by the spiritual energy supply station. When it came to handling the issue of ¡®the allocation of public resources¡¯, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s attitude was serious and unyielding. Once someone discovered or reported that Starlux Gym had wasted a lot of spiritual energy or sold it for private usage, the entire Starlux Gym would be closed for a period of time until all the people involved in the case were investigated and dealt with. Therefore, when Hash heard that it was a question about ¡°the Starlux Gym¡¯s overconsumption of spiritual energy¡±, she solemnly listed out the three reasons why the spiritual energy should not have exceeded. This was because if the spiritual energy supply station reported this rare unusual situation to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association, they would also ask Giles this question. If Giles could not give a reasonable exnation for this situation, the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association would contact the Beast Tamer Alliance to send people over to investigate. ¡°Giles, is it because Alice paid too little before going outst month?¡± Although Hash was now the person raising the question to Giles on behalf of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters, this did not prevent Hash from taking the initiative to help Giles find the ¡°reason¡± for the excess consumption of spiritual energy. The first person that Hash thought of to bear this responsibility on Giles¡¯ behalf was Alice, who had been away for more than a month and had yet to return. In Hash¡¯s opinion, Alice was not in Starlux Gym right now. Even if she were to shoulder the responsibility for Giles, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters would not be able to contact her for the time being. When Alice returned, she would mention this matter to her and get her to contact the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters. Furthermore, if Alice were to take responsibility for Giles, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters might even let Alice off the hook because of the fact that ¡®Alice went out to investigate Mythic-rank spirit beasts¡¯. At the thought of this, Hash couldn¡¯t help butment in her heart. Alice, I don¡¯t think you¡¯re going to make things difficult for your brother Giles because of this, are you? ¡°Sister Hash, this situation actually has little to do with Gym Leader Alice.¡± Unexpectedly, even though she had reminded Giles to let Alice bear the responsibility, Giles had not made that choice. ¡°Because Gym Leader Alice had already paid a fee for the spiritual energy supplyst month before she went out.¡± ¡°Although she had paid less than the previous months because this month is the beginning of the autumn harvest hunting season, it¡¯s still enough for this month.¡± ¡°Also, the main reason for the overconsumption of spiritual energy is actually because of my Metal-feathered Eagle which has undergone an iplete evolution.¡± ¡°Oh! Giles, I understand what you mean!¡± When Giles said that Alice had nothing to do with the stopping of the spiritual energy supply, Hash was still worried that the reason Giles gave would not be epted by the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters. However, when he heard Giles mention his Metal-feathered Eagle that had undergone an iplete evolution, Hash immediately understood. ¡°It¡¯s because the Metal-feathered Eagle lost control of its evolution, resulting in the spiritual energy storm, right?¡± ¡°One of the unique features of a spiritual energy storm is that it will continuously absorb spiritual energy.¡± Seeing that Hash understood what he meant, Giles nodded slightly. Then, he handed Hash another piece of paper. ¡°Yeah. This is the breakdown for the amount of spiritual energy Starlux Gym used every day this month.¡± ¡°Sister Hash, you can take a look at this particr day.¡± After Hash took the paper from him, Giles specially walked over to her and pointed out the day two weeks ago. ¡°Oh? What¡¯s with this day?¡± Hash looked at the date of that day and tried to recall carefully. Then, she looked at Giles in surprise. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the day that Mr Rex and I came to Starlux Gym to look for you?¡± ¡°Did Starlux Gym open at noon that day because you and the Metal-feathered Eagle experienced a spiritual energy storm that morning?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister Hash. Fortunately, I met you that day.¡± Giles thanked Hash while flexibly moving his left arm. ¡°If not for the Pulse Condensation Herb you gave me, my left arm wouldn¡¯t have recovered so quickly.¡± ¡°I see! Looks like your left arm has more or less recovered.¡± Looking at the detailed breakdown of the daily consumption of spiritual energy on the piece of paper, Hash nodded slightly. The day that she and Rex came to find Giles, Starlux Gym had indeed used many times more spiritual energy than usual. ¡°No wonder Starlux Gym has a situation of spiritual energy overconsumption before the end of the month, resulting in the spiritual energy supply getting cut off now.¡± Just as Hash said that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off, a few young men walked over from the square outside the gym and asked about the situation. ¡°Ah? The spiritual energy supply for Starlux Gym has been cut off? Can you still provide us with a training ground today?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re already dealing with this problem.¡± Giles recognized these youths as Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby blocks. As their current strength was not enough for them to go out of the city to hunt, they had beening to Starlux Gym ofte to borrow the training ground. Therefore, when they learned that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off, they could not help but get worked up. ¡°They¡¯re already dealing with this problem? Previously, when we sent a joint letter to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters, they said the same thing. But what¡¯s the oue now?¡± ¡°The result is that the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters¡¯ efficiency in handling the problem is too low. Or perhaps there are too many situations like that of Starlux Gym now, so they can¡¯t handle it all!¡± ¡°Giles, why don¡¯t you just close the Starlux Gympletely! The evaluation section has yet to be opened up, but the entire gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply has been cut off today!¡± Chapter 100 - Problems Related to Money are the Easiest to Solve

Chapter 100: Problems Rted to Money are the Easiest to Solve

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Seeing how agitated these young men were, and even suggesting that Starlux Gym be closed, Hash could not help but frown. The recent happenings in Starlux Gym had clearly affected the reputation and authority of the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters. Looks like I have to re-establish authority for the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters! Thinking of this, Hash stepped forward and looked solemnly at the agitated youths. ¡°Let the attack on the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters and Starlux Gym end here! The current situation is just that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym has been temporarily cut off.¡± ¡°But I can promise you that this will not affect the Starlux Gym¡¯s usual opening of the training ground today. You can still use the training ground.¡± Although Hash¡¯s sudden action of standing up for Starlux Gym and the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters had taken these youths by surprise, when they saw Hash¡¯s messy hair and sleepy eyes, they immediately felt that her words were not convincing at all. ¡°You can promise us? Who are you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Do you have the right to represent Starlux Gym?¡± ¡°Are you the Acting Gym Leader that the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters sent to Starlux Gym?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Heh, it¡¯s been a long time since I heard someone talk to me like that.¡± Seeing the aggressive attitude of the youths, Hash was not angry. She merely chuckled and revealed her identity, ¡°I¡¯m Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer who has just arrived in this base city. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly.¡± ¡°Elite Beast Tamer?!¡± These youths were originally ring at Hash angrily and agitatedly, but when they heard that this woman, who looked like she was still sleeping, was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, their eyes immediately widened. Clearly, they were unable to ept this fact. ¡°You are Her Excellency Hash? In that case, is that huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in the corner of the square your spirit beast?¡± After recovering from the shock, one of the youths boldly asked this question. The reason why these young Beast Tamers did not enter the reception area directly after arriving at Starlux Gym was because¡­ Their attention had also been attracted by the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle in the square outside Starlux Gym. Although they did not participate in the previous protest at the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s Branch two weeks ago, they had also heard from others that the person who resolved this problem was the youngest Elite Beast Tamer, Hash. As for Hash¡¯s huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, it was said that it was a spirit beast that was about to break through to the Legend rank. Therefore, when they saw this Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, they were all curious if Hash was resting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle as rumored. However, they were also afraid of disturbing the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and Hash, who might be resting on its back, so they only dared to stand afar and watch quietly. It was not until Hash walked out of Starlux Gym and said that the spiritual energy supply of Starlux Gym had been cut off that they realized that they were here to train. What they did not expect was that thiszy and listless-looking woman in front of them would actually say that she was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash. ¡°Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle? What happened to it?¡± Hearing that someone had mentioned her Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash waved towards a corner of the square. ¡°Hey! You didn¡¯t cause me any trouble, did you?¡± They then saw a ¡®rockery¡¯ in the corner of the square suddenly move. The Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle stuck its head out of its shell and looked at Hash in bewilderment. Then, it shook its head. ¡°Okay! Good child!¡± Seeing that the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle had responded to Hash, the few young Beast Tamers were in utter disbelief and fell into a daze. Although Hash was outstanding in both appearance and figure, her current demeanor and image had indeed shattered their beautiful fantasies about the rumored youngest Elite Beast Tamer. ¡°Giles, I think they have no more issues now.¡± Seeing that the young Beast Tamers were silent, Hash asked Giles about his ns, ¡°In that case, what do you n to do about the current situation?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen the amount stated in the Spiritual Energy Supply fee notice. It¡¯s not a small sum.¡± The meaning behind Hash¡¯s words was obvious. Giles also knew that if he asked Hash for help now, Hash would make up for the fees he owed. However, Giles wasn¡¯t nning on doing that. ¡°Sister Hash, please wait here for a while.¡± ¡°I have to connect the backup spiritual energy in the training area and the emergency power to the reception area first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the only way I can use theputer in the reception area to pay the bill online.¡± Giles¡¯ thoughts were actually very simple. Simr to all the other Beast-taming Gyms, the spiritual energy supply in each work area of Starlux Gym was independent of each other. Therefore, he nned to contact the spiritual energy supply station and pay off the expenses incurred by the reception and training areas first. He wanted the spiritual energy supply station to supply spiritual energy to the reception and training areas first. This way, he could at least ensure that Starlux Gym would be able to operate as usual today. He would also have a day to think of ways to solve the money problem. Seeing that Giles didn¡¯t ask her for help with the payment amount, Hash couldn¡¯t help but feel surprised. After all, the amount written in the spiritual energy supply fee notice was definitely not a problem that Giles could solve with a month or two of his sry. However, Giles still insisted on not asking her for help, which meant that Giles was already prepared to use his own savings to fill the hole in the expenses. Although the increase in spiritual energy in Starlux Gym was caused by Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle and Giles should be the one to cover the cost, his resolve to shoulder the burden alone and not seek help from others was very admirable. Alice, I didn¡¯t expect your younger brother to be so responsible. The longer I interact with him, the more certain I am that he could shoulder the responsibility of being the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. ¡°Giles, you actually know how to connect spiritual energy and electricity? When she heard Giles say that he was going to connect the training area to the reception area on his own, Hash couldn¡¯t help but exim in surprise. Under normal circumstances, the spiritual energy and electricity in the various work areas of the Beast-taming Gym were public resources, so they could not be connected to other routes easily. ¡°Sister Hash, there¡¯s no problem on my end.¡± Giles waved a hand at Hash to tell her not to worry. ¡°I usually help people deal with wiring so I have experience in that.¡± Giles¡¯ words reminded Hash of when the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters had contacted the staff from Starlux Gym. Those staff had a good impression of Giles. This was because Giles usually went to the other work areas to help them deal with some small matters after finishing his work in the spirit-beast section. Giles¡¯ current actions also confirmed what the staff members had said. While Giles was helping them, he had also obtained a lot of experience dealing with unexpected situations. Even so, Hash was still worried. She called out to Giles, who was preparing to go to the training area. ¡°But if you¡¯re alone, isn¡¯t it too dangerous?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we contact the other staff members of Starlux Gym first?¡± ¡°Sister Hash, if we do that, we¡¯ll probably have to wait for a while, because the other staff members start work at 9 AM.¡± At this point, Giles looked at the young Beast Tamers who wanted to borrow the training ground. ¡°But to them, they would be able to train for more than an hour, so it¡¯s better to resolve it as soon as possible.¡± Giles¡¯ words left Hash unsure how to respond because for now, it did seem like the best solution. Unexpectedly, Annie, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up, ¡°If the only problem with the spiritual energy supply for Starlux Gym is the bill, then I can help you resolve it.¡± Chapter 102 - Sticking to Principles Is Starlux Gyms Tradition

Chapter 102: Sticking to Principles Is Starlux Gym¡¯s Tradition

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Giles solemnly bowed to Annie and thanked her, ¡°Miss Annie, thank you so much for today.¡± ¡°Not only did I have to trouble you to contact Mr Gars and help Starlux Gym pay the fees online, but you will also have to pay arge sum of money first.¡± ¡°Miss Annie, I¡¯ll get the money to pay you backter.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Giles. You don¡¯t have to pay me back at all.¡± Seeing that Giles was still so polite to her, Annie shook her head. Although that fee was indeed not a small sum, she and her sister owed Giles a lot of favors. Therefore, even if Giles wanted to return it to her, she did not intend to ept the money. ¡°Giles, it¡¯s precisely because of your help that my sister¡¯s illness can be cured.¡± ¡°Moreover, if you hadn¡¯t guided me after I failed the challenge, my spirit beast and I wouldn¡¯t have broken through to the Gold rank so quickly.¡± ¡°So you¡¯ve already helped us sisters so much. It¡¯s time for us to repay you.¡± ¡°Miss Annie, I appreciate your kind intentions, but work and personal matters cannot be mixed together.¡± Seeing that Annie wasn¡¯t about to let him pay, Giles¡¯ tone became resolute. He rarely disyed his stubborn side. ¡°The spiritual energy supply for Starlux Gym was cut off because of me. Besides, this fee should have been paid for by Starlux Gym¡¯s money.¡± ¡°So even if you helped me, Miss Annie, I absolutely have to pay you back.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t do that, my actions will be equivalent to embezzling public funds.¡± Hah, why is it that Giles and Alice have the same stubborn character of sticking to their principles? Looking into Giles¡¯ determined eyes, Hash scratched her messy hair helplessly. She had already witnessed how stubborn Alice, the current Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, was during her university days. Moreover, aftering to this base city, she had learned about Alice¡¯s experiences over the past two years throughmunicating with the other leaders of the City Guards. After Alice graduated from university, she went straight to Starlux Gym. At that time, someone had suggested to the previous Gym Leader, who had been about to retire, to let Alice be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. This was because as long as the previous Gym Leader rmended Alice to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association, even if Alice had been a Gold-rank Beast Tamer back then, she could have directly taken on the position of the Acting Gym Leader. This way, the previous Gym Leader could retire early and would not have to tire himself out anymore. He just needed to put his energy into grooming Alice. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, the previous Gym Leader and Alice had stuck to their principles and firmly rejected this suggestion. The previous Gym Leader had insisted on retiring at the retirement age. At that time, there were still two years before he retired, and those two years were the deadline he had given Alice. If Alice still did not have the ability to be the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym after two years, in that case, the previous Gym Leader would apply to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters before he retired to select a more suitable candidate to be the Gym Leader. Furthermore, Alice had no intention of bing the Acting Gym Leader at that time. Instead, she chose to ept the test proposed by the previous Gym Leader. At that time, everyone thought that this test was nearly impossible toplete. This was because Alice, who was 22 years old at that time, only had one Gold-rank spirit beast. To be a Beast-taming Gym¡¯s Gym Leader, one had to nurture at least three Gold-rank spirit beasts. Alice had previously spent nearly twenty years nurturing one Gold-rank spirit beast. It would be too difficult for her to nurture another two Gold-rank spirit beasts in the next two years. In everyone¡¯s opinion, even if Alice was a young and famous Beast Tamer in this base city, and had her grandfather, who was the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, grooming her, she would still need at least four years. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Alice only spent about one and a half years to rapidly increase her strength to that of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer and sessfully became the ninth-generation Gym Leader of Starlux Gym! Alice¡¯s experience in proving her talent and abilities had be a widely circted story in the base city. At the same time, as the youngest Beast-taming Gym Leader at that time, she became the pride of the Beast Tamer Association in this base city. Alice, as expected of you! But only then are you worthy of being my opponent! After learning about Alice¡¯s experience, Hash did not have much reaction because she agreed with what Alice had done. However, it was surprising that Giles had made a choice simr to Alice. As the granddaughter of the previous Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, I wouldn¡¯t be surprised if Alice inherited this trait from her grandfather, but wasn¡¯t Giles adopted? Although Hash was filled with ints¡± about Alice and the old Gym Leader, when she looked at Giles, her eyes were filled with admiration. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Giles¡¯ stubborn character was stupid because he did not know how to adapt. However, if he wanted to be a Gym Leader who could manage a Beast-taming Gym, such adherence to principles and fairness was essential. However, his insistence on returning the money left Annie at a loss. ¡°Giles, this is not a small sum. If you want to return the money to Miss Annie in cash, I¡¯m assuming you must go to the bank to withdraw the money.¡± Seeing that Annie was blushing and didn¡¯t know if she should ept Giles¡¯ payment, Hash made a suggestion. ¡°So, I think we might as well do this. Miss Annie, leave your bank ount number with Giles. He can just transfer it to you when the timees.¡± Hash had suggested this because she wanted to give Annie a chance to turn Giles down. If she really didn¡¯t want Giles to pay back the money, all she had to do was give Giles the wrong bank ount number. Unexpectedly, Annie did not ept her suggestion and instead proposed another solution. ¡°Your Excellency, thank you for reminding me.¡± After hearing Giles mention ¡¯embezzling public funds¡¯, Annie felt conflicted and troubled. As she really wanted to help Giles, she had no intention of asking Giles to pay her back. However, if she did that, she would undoubtedly ¡°force¡± Giles to ¡°embezzle public funds.¡± What Hash had just said opened Annie¡¯s mind. That sum of money is not a small sum. If Giles wanted to pay her back, he would probably have to go to the bank. Because he didn¡¯t have that much ¡°cash¡±! It¡¯s cash! Annie, who had thought of an idea, looked at Giles with a smile after thanking him. ¡°Giles, actually, you don¡¯t have to go to the bank to withdraw money or transfer the money to me, because there will be a grand auction in the inner city of the base city next week.¡± ¡°As one of the organizers, our Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce will auction off a batch of goods during this auction.¡± ¡°The main type of item would be the beast cores that Beast Tamers harvested in the first month of the autumn-harvest hunting season.¡± ¡°Giles, I heard from my elder sister that you obtained a batch of beast cores during the Beast Tamer Friendly Match in the Decker Mountain Range.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re nning to pay us back, why don¡¯t youe to this auction next week? Our Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce can help you auction off that batch of beast cores.¡± ¡°By doing so, not only will you be able to pay for the spiritual energy supply, but you can also earn a considerable amount of ie.¡± Chapter 103 - The Upcoming Auction in the Inner Ring of the City

Chapter 103: The Uing Auction in the Inner Ring of the City

Just as Hash had said, Giles didn¡¯t have much cash on hand. Therefore, apart from taking out his savings, he was also mentally prepared to take a loan. The solution that Annie proposed at this moment reminded Giles, who was still worried about money. In his small cabin in the spirit beast section, there were still many beast cores that he had obtained. The reason why the Metal-feathered Eagle had gone out of control after the spiritual energy storm was because it had flown to his cabin and swallowed beast cores. Therefore, after that ident, for safety reasons, Giles locked the box containing the beast cores and ced it under his bed. Two weeks had passed since then, so much so that Giles had almost forgotten that he still had a batch of beast cores. One had to know that as a crystal that contained a lot of spiritual energy, beast cores were resources that Beast Tamers and spirit beasts could notck during training. For example, the autumn hunting season that began this month was the fixed period for Beast Tamers to collectively hunt ferocious beasts every year. On the other hand, the reason why Beast Tamers would collectively hunt ferocious beasts was not only to control the number of ferocious beasts to prevent the ferocious beasts from attacking the city, but also to obtain resources like fur, blood, bones, and meat that were beneficial to Beast Tamers and spirit beasts. Among these resources rted to ferocious beasts, the most important and most valuable were the beast cores that had formed in the bodies of ferocious beasts. Therefore, the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce took advantage of the first month after the autumn-harvest hunting season to set up a special auction for the beast cores. The quality of Giles¡¯ batch of beast cores was not low. If he could sell them for a good price in this auction, he would not have to worry about money for the time being. After all, ording to the punishment that Hash had told him previously, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters had already decided to deduct two months of his sry. If Giles wanted to maintain the Starlux Gym¡¯s operations for the next two months after returning the money to Annie, participating in this auction and auctioning off the batch of beast cores was the fastest way to earn money. At the thought of this, Giles nodded at Annie and agreed to participate in the auction held in the Inner Ring of the City the following week, ¡°Yes, Miss Annie, your sister is right. I did obtain a batch of beast cores during the Beast Tamer Friendly Match in the Decker Mountain Range.¡± ¡°Since our base city will be holding an auction in the Inner Ring of the City next week, I can only trouble you and Mr Gars to help me auction off this batch of beast cores.¡± ¡°No problem, Giles, but I want you to agree to my request.¡± Annie smiled after Giles promised to attend the auction next week. ¡°As long as you can agree to my request, you will be a key client of our Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce in this auction.¡± Annie had her own ns for proposing this solution to Giles. ording to Giles¡¯ previous exnation, if Annie didn¡¯t ept the expenses that he should have returned, then leaving that money behind was equivalent to ¡°embezzling public funds.¡± That was why Annie had inadvertently thought of this solution under Hash¡¯s reminder. She wanted to help Giles solve his mary problems by looking at it from a different perspective. As long as Giles agreed to participate in the auction next week, Annie could get the person in charge of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, Gars, to think of some ways to raise the price of this batch of beast cores as much as possible. Furthermore, Annie nned to get Gars to take only a small portion of the money asmission. Even if that portion of the money was not enough for Giles to pay off the debt, it did not matter as long as it allowed Giles to earn more money. After all, as the Second Miss of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, she might not be able to repay the favor that she and her elder sister owed in other aspects. However, if Giles were to participate in this auction, then given that it was her home ground, she had many ways to let Giles reap the maximum benefits in this auction. However, regarding the fact that Giles had been politely addressing her respectfully from the beginning, Annie felt that Giles was still keeping a distance from her. ¡°Miss Annie, you¡¯ve helped Starlux Gym greatly today. If you have any requests, just let me know.¡± Giles didn¡¯t think much about what Annie might ask for. In his opinion, with Annie¡¯s family background and upbringing, she wouldn¡¯t make any overboard requests. Just as Giles was thinking this, the request Annie made to him was not overboard at all. In Giles¡¯ opinion, it was even a little bold, so much so that it was beyond Giles¡¯ expectations. ¡°Giles, my request is simple¡­¡± The words were already on her lips, but Annie paused for some reason. Then, blushing shyly, she made her simple yet bold request. ¡°I hope that you won¡¯t call me Miss Annie anymore. Just call me Annie. Aren¡¯t we good friends?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Upon hearing Annie¡¯s request, Giles¡¯s mouth opened slightly. Giles was stunned for a moment and didn¡¯t know how to answer. This was because he usually called Annie by her name. However, Annie had just helped him solve a huge problem, so he subconsciously addressed Annie respectfully. However, he did not expect Annie to care about this and even bring it up. One had to know that Annie asking Giles to call her by her name waspletely different from Giles himself calling her by her name. It was obvious that Annie was showing her goodwill to Giles by making this request. Even if Giles was clueless about rtionships, he could understand why Annie had made this request. ¡°Okay, Annie. Like you said, we are good friends indeed. I¡¯ll be mindful in the future.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Sigh, this is probably youth, isn¡¯t it? Standing at the side, Hash looked at the blushing Annie and stunned Giles and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. However, Annie¡¯s simple and straightforward disy of her feelings made Giles at a loss. Seeing that Giles had snapped out of it and only replied one sentence to Annie, Hash understood that she needed to break the ice. ¡°Okay, okay, Giles. Since the problem with the bill has been resolved, you can start preparing now.¡± To change the topic, Hash brought up the main reason she and Annie hade to Starlux Gym today. ¡°In that case, when the spiritual energy in Starlux Gym is replenished, Miss Annie can challenge you.¡± Hearing Hash mention the ability evaluation again, the tattoo on the back of Giles¡¯ hand lit up. After Giles let the Metal-feathered Eagle out of the space within the patterns, he pointed to the vine belt on its abdomen. ¡°Sister Hash, as you can see, the Metal-feathered Eagle is still wearing this vine belt. It hasn¡¯tpletely absorbed the remaining beast-core spiritual energy in its body.¡± ¡°If I choose to ept the challenge now, with my current strength, I can¡¯t guarantee that the Metal-feathered Eagle won¡¯t encounter any mishaps during the battle.¡± Chapter 104 - I Respect the Metal-Feathered Eagles Choice

Chapter 104: I Respect the Metal-Feathered Eagle¡¯s Choice

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°It has been two weeks. Has the Metal-feathered Eagle notpletely absorbed the remnant beast-core spiritual energy?¡± Seeing Giles release the Metal-feathered Eagle from the space on the back of his hand, Hash couldn¡¯t help but frown. Hash hade to Starlux Gym two weeks ago and it was then that she had learned about Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle. Two weeks ago, due to the Metal-feathered Eagle losing control over its evolution, a spiritual storm was caused by the spiritual energy explosion. The final oue of that spiritual energy storm was that Giles had used his left arm to absorb arge amount of spiritual energy in order to save the Metal-feathered Eagle. The Metal-feathered Eagle that Giles had saved from the storm of spiritual energy did notplete its evolution and powerful beast-core spiritual energy was left in its body. Under these circumstances, even though Hash had received the mission from the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters and nned to let Giles be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s physical conditions were insufficient to support Starlux Gym. Therefore, Hash had given Giles the Pulse Condensation Herb that could treat his left arm¡¯s injuries and had also gotten the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to put a vine belt on the Metal-feathered Eagle that could help it absorb spiritual energy. Hash¡¯s motive was to wait for a chance for Giles to rely on his own strength to legitimately be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. The day before yesterday, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters took the initiative to contact Hash and ask her if there was a suitable candidate for the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Hash seized this opportunity and fought for Giles to be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. However, to her surprise, the Metal-feathered Eagle had yet topletely absorb the remaining beast-core spiritual energy in its body. It had been two weeks since shest came to Starlux Gym. How powerful is the beast-core spiritual energy in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s body? Frowning slightly, Hash walked over to the Metal-feathered Eagle and squatted down to examine the vine belt on its abdomen. As Starlux Gym had temporarily stopped supplying spiritual energy, the Beast Tamers who came to borrow the training ground could only gather in the square outside Starlux Gym and wait. However, while they were waiting, they had nearly forgotten the purpose of their visit today. The reason was not because they had waited for too long. Instead, it was because any one of the things that had happened in Starlux Gym this morning was enough to cause a stir in the nearby streets. First, there was a rare case of the spiritual energy supply being cut off in Starlux Gym. Then, it was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, and her Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle appearing in Starlux Gym. The reason Hash was here was because the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce, Annie, wanted to challenge Starlux Gym. Hash was the umpire responsible for witnessing this challenge. Did this mean that after two weeks, Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section would finally be opened to them? If that was the case, the Beast Tamers in their vicinity would no longer have to go to the other Beast-taming gyms in the base city to have the strength of their spirit beasts evaluated. After everyone realized this, every move that Hash and Giles made affected their mental activity. However, as Hash and Giles were standing at the door of Starlux Gym, everyone was worried that their discussion might offend this Elite Beast Tamer. Therefore, all of them chose to maintain a certain distance and stopped in the square ten meters away from the entrance of Starlux Gym. It was also because of this that they could not really hear the content of Hash, Giles, and Annie¡¯s discussion. In addition, the people around them were also discussing, so they could only vaguely catch some words. When Annie had helped Starlux Gym pay the bills and requested to challenge Giles, she had only said two sentences. In the end, when they heard ¡°Hash would witness this challenge¡±, they associated it with a bunch of things during their discussion. Now, Giles and Hash¡¯s actions had attracted their attention again. ¡°Eh? Why did Giles suddenly release a spirit beast from his tattoo space? What is Her Excellency Hash doing to that spirit beast?¡± ¡°Furthermore, the bird-type spirit beast that Giles released is a new spirit beast that I¡¯ve never seen before. Is it a new species that Giles discovered some time ago?¡± ¡°Hey! Pals who are standing in front, did you hear what Her Excellency Hash said to Giles?¡± ¡°I only heard Her Excellency Hash say the words ¡®prepare¡¯ and ¡®challenge¡¯. If you want me to hear clearlyter, you should shut your mouth and stop discussing.¡± ¡°Prepare and challenge? Doesn¡¯t that mean that the problem of the spiritual energy supply has been resolved? Her Excellency Hash is already asking Giles to prepare for Annie¡¯s challenge against Starlux Gym.¡± ¡°Okay, in that case, Sir Hasi must have told Giles not to use those powerful Gold-rank spirit beasts to ept the challenge. That¡¯s why Giles released this new spirit beast that we¡¯ve never seen before.¡± ¡°Giles¡¯ new bird-type spirit beast should be at the Silver rank. Otherwise, Miss Annie wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat Giles.¡± ¡°You people standing at the back, don¡¯t talk nonsense if you didn¡¯t hear it clearly. Miss Annie just said that under Giles¡¯ guidance, she and her spirit beast have already broken through to the Gold rank.¡± ¡°Miss Annie and her spirit beast have both broken through to the Gold rank? No wonder she came to challenge Giles today. If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s indeed impossible for Giles to let a Silver-rank spirit beast ept the challenge.¡± ¡°However, this bird-type spirit beast should have just broken through to the Gold rank. Otherwise, Giles would release his powerful Gold-rank spirit beasts from before to ept the challenge.¡± ¡°Oh! I get it! No wonder Her Excellency Hash said ¡®prepare¡¯ and ¡®challenge¡¯. She should be evaluating the strength of this bird-type spirit beast now in preparation for the uing challenge!¡± ¡°That makes sense! If that¡¯s the case, then everything makes sense!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just as everyone was rejoicing over their spection, Hash slowly stood up. ¡°Hu, it¡¯s alright.¡± After examining the vine belt, Hash¡¯s brows rxed and she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Giles, you don¡¯t have to worry about the Metal-feathered Eagle anymore.¡± ¡°The remaining beast-core spiritual energy in its body has beenpletely absorbed by this vine belt.¡± ¡°In the next few days, as long as the Metal-feathered Eagle absorbs all the spiritual energy converted from the vine belt, it should be able to break through to the Gold rank steadily.¡± At this point, Hash suddenly remembered the ability evaluation that was scheduled for today. ¡°Giles, out of consideration for the safety of the Metal-feathered Eagle, if you n on postponing this ability evaluation for a few days, there¡¯s actually no issues with that.¡± ¡°This is because the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters, who proposed this ability evaluation, also know that the Metal-feathered Eagle is currently in the midst of an iplete evolution.¡± ¡°Therefore, I can report directly to the higher-ups about the Metal-feathered Eagle about to break through to the Gold rank and get the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters to change the rank of the Metal-feathered Eagle that¡¯s registered in the records.¡± ¡°The Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters will not change the content of the ability evaluation because of this situation. We can carry out this ability evaluation after the Metal-feathered Eagle sessfully breaks through to the Gold rank.¡± ¡°However, if you choose to ept Annie¡¯s challenge today, I can use my spiritual energy to strengthen the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s vine belt. You don¡¯t have to worry about any idents happening during the battle.¡± ¡°So, Giles, the decision is yours now. Do you n to postpone it by a few days until the Metal-feathered Eagle breaks through to the Gold rank, or do you want to ept Annie¡¯s challenge today?¡± ¡°No, Sister Hash, the decision doesn¡¯t lie with me.¡± Giles shook his head slightly. Then, with a gentle expression, he reached out his right hand and gently stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head. ¡°The one epting the challenge is the Metal-feathered Eagle. The one who is about to break through to the Gold rank is also the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°Therefore, I think the decision lies in its hands. I will respect its choice.¡± ¡°If it chooses to ept the challenge and fight, I will fight alongside it and give it my all in the face of Annie¡¯s challenge.¡± ¡°If it chooses to break through to the Gold rank first, I will also ensure its safety and let it sessfully break through to the Gold rank.¡± Chapter 105 - Your Excellency Hash, Please Give Us an Explanation!

Chapter 105: Your Excellency Hash, Please Give Us an Exnation!

¡°Okay, Giles, you¡¯re right. I was thoughtless.¡± Seeing Giles stroke the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head and say that the decision should lie with it instead, Hash nodded approvingly at Giles. From the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s tame reaction, it was obvious that Giles was not being hypocritical. He sincerely treated the Metal-feathered Eagle as a friend who had grown up with him. Like her, he clearly thought that spirit beasts should be individuals who could think independently and not tools that Beast Tamers could deal with as they pleased. However, Hash, who was looking at Giles, did not notice that what she had said previously had already caused a stir among the Beast Tamers in the square. ¡°Guys, guess what I just heard? Giles¡¯ bird-type spirit beast actually hasn¡¯t broken through to the Gold rank yet!¡± ¡°I heard it too! Also, I heard Her Excellency Hash telling Giles not to worry. She will strengthen something.¡± ¡°Ah? Could there be something special about this Silver-rank bird-type spirit beast? Otherwise, why would Giles use it to fight Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°Her Excellency Hash is probably talking about strengthening the belt on the abdomen of that bird-type spirit beast, right? Because that vine belt looks like a characteristic that only nt-type spirit beasts possess.¡± ¡°Let me take a closer look¡­ How is that a vine belt? Isn¡¯t that the ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ of a nt-type spirit beast?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t the skill ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯ continuously absorb the target¡¯s spiritual energy? Why does Giles¡¯ bird-type spirit beast always have that around it?¡± ¡°Does this mean Her Excellency Hash is actually going to let that Silver-rank bird fight Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast while it has that ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ around it? How can it possibly win?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If that¡¯s the case, isn¡¯t Miss Annie challenging Starlux Gym equivalent to her obtaining the badge?¡± ¡°Hmph! I told you previously that Miss Annie specially calling Her Excellency Hash over to be the judge, has to be some conspiracy behind it! You didn¡¯t believe me just now, but I was right!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At the end of the discussion, all the Beast Tamers gathered in the square looked indignant. In their opinion, there must be a conspiracy behind Annie¡¯s challenge against Starlux Gym and especially letting the elite Beast Tamer, Hash, be the umpire! Otherwise, why would Giles use a Silver-rank spirit beast that had an Absorption Vine wrapped around it to fight against Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast? One had to know that when they challenged Starlux Gymst month, Giles had sent out those few powerful Gold-rank spirit beasts. Today, Annie brought her Gold-rank spirit beast to challenge Starlux Gym, but Giles sent out a Silver-rank spirit beast that had an Absorption Vine wrapped around it. No matter how they thought about it, the reason must be because of the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who was the umpire. Therefore, everyone felt that Hash should at least give an exnation for the ¡°vition¡± that had already beenmitted. With this thought in mind, they gathered together and walked towards the entrance of Starlux Gym. Hash, on the other hand, hadn¡¯t noticed them. Her eyes were focused on the Metal-feathered Eagle at the moment. ¡°In that case, what¡¯s your decision, little guy?¡± When Hash asked the Metal-feathered Eagle this question, she also put aside her Elite Beast Tamer aura. In her opinion, the Metal-feathered Eagle in front of her was like a child. She did not want her identity to interfere with the child¡¯s decision. However, unexpectedly, before the Metal-feathered Eagle could make a choice, a group of people surrounded the entrance of Starlux Gym. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, please give us an exnation!¡± Exnation? What exnation? Seeing these Beast Tamers, who had been waiting to borrow the training ground, suddenly gather together and walk over, Hash could not help but feel puzzled. ¡°Are you talking about the problem of the Starlux Gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply being halted?¡± ¡°Just now, Miss Annie had already contacted Mr Gars from the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce to pay the bill.¡± ¡°Spiritual energy supply in the work areas of Starlux Gym will probably be restored in a few minutes, so there¡¯s no need for all of you to be anxious.¡± When Hash mentioned the problem of the payment for the spiritual energy supply, it made the angry and resentful Beast Tamers think of something else. Why would Giles ept Annie¡¯s challenge under these circumstances? From the looks of it now, the answer is obvious! This is a transaction of power and money! Annie would pay the bill for the Starlux Gym¡¯s spirit energy supply for Giles, and Giles would ept Annie¡¯s challenge. When Giles was defeated by Annie in battle, Annie would be able to rightfully obtain the badge of Starlux Gym. However, based on their understanding of Giles, Giles wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would go against his principles for money. Unless, of course, Giles no longer had the money to pay for Starlux Gym¡¯s spiritual energy supply! Come to think of it, Gym Leader Alice, who was in charge of the funds for Starlux Gym, had been away for more than a month. After supporting Starlux Gym for more than a month, it was normal for Giles to not have any money now. After the spiritual energy supply from Starlux Gym was cut off this morning, Annie, who hade to challenge Starlux Gym, and Hash, who was the umpire, happened to catch Giles¡¯ weakness. Therefore, Giles could only go against the principle that he had always adhered to and be forced to go along with such a dirty transaction to pay for the expenses deficit. Poor Giles¡­ When everyone realized this, the anger and resentment in their hearts were about to spew out. However, in the face of the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, they still maintained the most basic level of rationality and respect as they raised their own questions. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, since Miss Annie has invited you to be the umpire for her challenge against Starlux Gym, I would like to ask if you can ensure that the challenge is fair?¡± ¡°Although we all know that Giles won the championship in the Beast-taming Gym Tournamentst month, aren¡¯t you being too unscrupulous in order to let Annie get the badge?¡± ¡°Miss Annie said that she and her spirit beast had broken through to the Gold rank under Giles¡¯ guidance, but Giles, who epted Annie¡¯s challenge, sent out a Silver-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°Moreover, Giles¡¯ Silver-rank spirit beast has an ¡®Absorption Vine¡¯ that can absorb its spiritual energy continuously, wrapped around it. Under these circumstances, how can it defeat Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯ve added so many restrictions on Giles and his spirit beast. Why don¡¯t you just let Giles give the badge to Annie? Why do you have toe over and put up a show?¡± ¡°If you insist on letting Giles use this Silver-rank spirit beast to ept the challenge, then I want to apply to watch the battle in the evaluation section! To ensure that the challenge is fair!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! I want to apply to go to the evaluation section to watch the battle too!¡± ¡°Me too! Count me in!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 106 - This Is Really Just a Misunderstanding

Chapter 106: This Is Really Just a Misunderstanding

One after another, the Beast Tamers who had surrounded them proposed that this was an unfair challenge. Standing at the side, Giles also realized that they had probably misunderstood Hash and Annie. They had all mistakenly thought that Annie had hired Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer, to be the umpire and that behind this challenge was a dirty transaction of power and money. That was why Giles had taken out a Silver-rank spirit beast to fight Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast in this challenge. At the thought of this, Giles quickly exined to everyone, ¡°Everyone, please calm down. This is actually a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°The vine belt on the abdomen of my Metal-feathered Eagle was wrapped with the help of Her Excellency Hash.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because it had an unfortunate ident some time ago where it lost control of its evolution. Right now, its evolution is still in an iplete state.¡± ¡°Therefore, it needs this vine belt to help it absorb the spiritual energy in its body.¡± However, to Giles¡¯ surprise, his exnation only added fuel to the mes of rage. ¡°What? This Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle is still a state of an iplete evolution? Your Excellency Hash! You¡¯re too much!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! You actually let Giles use the Silver-rank spirit beast that is in a state of iplete evolution to fight Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast!¡± ¡°Also, you still want to reinforce the vine belt that is constantly absorbing spiritual energy. If you limit its strength like this, how can it possibly win?¡± ¡°Giles, don¡¯t on behalf of this person who¡¯s abusing her power for personal gain! Do you really think that none of us have seen the nt-type skill, ¡®Absorption Vines¡¯?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Who would believe such a reason that a skill that continuously absorbs spiritual energy is used as a support?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s all go to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s branch to report this person whose character is not good enough for her position!¡± ¡°Giles, if you were forced to agree to their dirty deal because you didn¡¯t have the money to pay the bill for the spiritual energy supply, thene with us. We can testify for you!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Giles, don¡¯t worry or be afraid. Isn¡¯t it just a matter of money? We have twenty to thirty people here now. We can raise the money for you!¡± ¡°Giles, don¡¯t worry! The money issue is not a problem at all! Anyway, all of use to Starlux Gym every day to borrow the training ground. This sum of money we lend you can be treated as advance payment for borrowing the training ground.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Even though the angry crowd had agitatedly proposed to report Hash for abusing her power for personal gain as an Elite Beast Tamer, they did not forget Giles, who was the ¡°victim¡±. They all unanimously told Giles not to worry about the bill for the spiritual energy supply and not to go against the principles he had always adhered to for this sum of money. If it was just a matter of money, they could use the method of paying for the venue in advance to cough up the money for Giles¡¯ spiritual energy supply. Giles, who was anxious and finding it difficult to deal with the current situation, felt a warmth in his heart. This was because he understood the good intentions of these Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby streets. Although everyone liked to joke around when they chatted with him, they would all show their righteous and reliable side at such a critical moment. Therefore, there was only one thing Giles wanted to say to this enthusiastic and indignant crowd. ¡°I appreciate everyone¡¯s kind intentions, but please calm down first! This is really just a misunderstanding!¡± Seeing that Giles, the ¡°victim,¡± had taken the initiative to step forward and exin on Hash¡¯s behalf that this was just a misunderstanding, the agitated crowd began to realize that there might really be a misunderstanding. However, when their emotions gradually stabilized, they realized that at that moment, Hash was squatting in front of the Metal-feathered Eagle,pletely ignoring them. Seeing that everyone¡¯s anger, which had finally dissipated, was about to ignite again, Giles hurriedly called out to Hash, ¡°Sister Hash, please rify that this is just a misunderstanding!¡± ¡°Oh? Have they raised all their questions?¡± Hearing Giles turn around and call out to her, Hash, who was squatting in front of the Metal-feathered Eagle, turned her head and asked Giles this question. After she had exined the problem of the spiritual energy supply to everyone, the moment she heard someone mentioning that there was a conspiracy behind Annie¡¯s challenge to Starlux Gym, she could not be bothered to answer the questions that they raised after that. After that, her attention was fixated on the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Giles, the spiritual energy in Starlux Gym has been restored.¡± At that, Hash looked at Giles and pointed to the equipment that had been lit up again in the reception area. ¡°I¡¯ve already confirmed with the Metal-feathered Eagle that its choice is to ept this challenge.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I think we can begin the ability evaluation in the evaluation zone.¡± Giles looked at the reception area in Starlux Gym where the lights were turned on. Then, he lowered his head and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, is your choice to ept this challenge?¡± ¡°Yes, Giles. Senior Garuda has never escaped from any battle, so I won¡¯t back down either!¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle expressed its thoughts firmly through spiritualmunication. Furthermore, as if it was afraid that Giles would be worried, it even tried to reassure Giles, ¡°Giles, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything unexpected happening to me during the battle.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Her Excellency Hash mention just now? She can use her spiritual energy to reinforce the vine belt on my abdomen.¡± ¡°With the spiritual energy of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer like her protecting me, Miss Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast will definitely not be able to damage this vine belt.¡± ¡°Besides, you said before that apart from training, the fastest way to grow is to fight.¡± ¡°Perhaps after today¡¯s battle ends, I can sessfully break through to the Gold rank tomorrow.¡± Seeing that the Metal-feathered Eagle had actually begun tofort itself, Giles, who thought it was a little cute, smiled and stroked its head. ¡°I just said that I will respect any choice you make.¡± ¡°Since your choice is to ept the challenge and fight, I¡¯ll do my best with you in the uing battle.¡± At this point, Giles looked solemnly at Starlux Gym¡¯s challenger, Annie and said, ¡°Annie, you must not underestimate your opponent just because the Metal-feathered Eagle has yet to break through to the Gold rank.¡± ¡°My Metal-feathered Eagle is very troublesome to deal with in actualbat. If you don¡¯t give it your all, you can forget about obtaining the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge.¡± Annie smiled as she listened to Giles¡¯ words that were filled with fighting spirit. ¡°Giles, going all out in battle is the most basic form of respect. Since you¡¯ve already expressed your respect for me, I naturally won¡¯t be rude.¡± ¡°In order to obtain this Starlux Gym badge, I¡¯ve already prepared for more than a month. Giles, don¡¯t be shockedter!¡± Just as Giles and Annie were looking at each other and sparks flew from their battle intent, a few inappropriate voices rang out between them. ¡°What ¡®going all out¡¯? What ¡®respect for your opponent¡¯? Giles, stop trying to fool us with these pretty pleasantries!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We already know that your Metal-feathered Eagle is a Silver-rank spirit beast that has undergone an iplete evolution! How can it defeat Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast when it has an Absorption Vine wrapped around it?¡± ¡°Giles, to think that we were so kind as to be prepared to pay the bill for your spiritual energy supply. I didn¡¯t expect that you would go against the principle that you had always adhered to for the sake of money!¡± ¡°In my opinion, Giles and Annie are saying all this to divert our attention! Your Excellency, please give us an exnation about whether this challenge is fair or not!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 107 - The Might of an Elite Beast Tamer and an Epic-rank Beast

Chapter 107: The Might of an Elite Beast Tamer and an Epic-rank Beast

Faced with everyone¡¯s reignited anger, Giles was prepared to give them a proper exnation about everything from the beginning to the end. However, Giles did not expect that Hash, who had been ignoring these people, would suddenly raise her hand to stop him. ¡°Giles, the spiritual energy supply to Starlux Gym has been restored, so don¡¯t waste your time exining to them.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to get up so early today. I want to finish this ability evaluation as soon as possible.¡± ¡°I still have to rush to sleepter to catch up on my sleep.¡± ¡°As for you guys¡­¡± At this point, Hash turned her head and nced at the agitated crowd. A powerful spiritual energy from an Elite Beast Tamer instantly weighed down on their bodies. Everyone, who had been moring for Hash to give them an exnation, instantly fell silent. After they snapped out of it, they suddenly realized that Hash¡¯s Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle had already walked from the corner of the square to the entrance of Starlux Gym. At that moment, the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle was less than ten meters away from them. Sensing the faint aura emanating from the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, everyone calmed down. Their eyes were filled with fear towards Hash. Seeing that everyone had finally stopped quarreling, the indifferent Hashi slowly said, ¡°Just now, I heard someone amongst you requesting to go to the evaluation section to watch the battle. I agree to this request.¡± ¡°As long as anyone among you doubts the fairness of this challenge, you cane directly to the evaluation section to watch the battle.¡± ¡°If you find out that I¡¯ve really vited the rules in today¡¯s challenge, there¡¯s no need for you to report me to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters.¡± ¡°When I send the recording of this battle to the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters, I will take the initiative to request for the Beast Tamer Association to revoke my title as an Elite Beast Tamer.¡± While Hash was saying this, hernguid and gentle voice was no different from usual. She did not raise her voice just because there were many people around. However, everyone present heard what she said clearly. This content caused an earthquake in everyone¡¯s hearts. In order to ensure the fairness of today¡¯s challenge, Her Excellency Hash actually bet using her title of an Elite Beast Tamer! Did we really misunderstand Her Excellency Hash and Miss Annie? At that moment, no one knew what to say, nor did they dare to look at Hash, who was standing at the entrance of Starlux Gym¡¯s reception area. They averted their gazes and subconsciously looked around. When they met the eyes of the person beside them, they could feel the awkwardness in their eyes. After everyone regained theirposure, Hash saw the awkwardness in their eyes. Therefore, she put away the powerful spiritual energy that was oppressing all of them. The reason why she had suddenly used her spiritual energy to oppress everyone was because she was slightly displeased. In fact, when she first heard someone attacking her with words, she had already nned to teach these people a lesson. However, sheter heard the reason these people were doing this, which was to help Giles. That¡¯s why she ignored what they were saying. From their reactions, Hash could tell that the Giles¡¯ character of adhering to his principles had already taken root in their hearts. That was why they didn¡¯t want to see Giles go against the principles he had always adhered to for the sake of money. At the thought of this, Hash turned around and looked at Giles and Annie. Looks like Giles being so polite to Annie earlier on and insisting on returning the money to Annie, was definitely not an act. Furthermore, Giles¡¯ status in the hearts of the Beast Tamers in the nearby district shouldn¡¯t be low. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have offered to pool the money together to pay for Giles¡¯ spiritual energy supply. From her two encounters with Giles, Hash was increasingly certain that her thoughts were right. Although Giles is not strong enough now, he is the most suitable candidate to be the gym leader! In that case, what she needs to do next is to let Gilesplete the ability evaluation today. Hash¡¯s gaze revealed her admiration for Giles. Then, she turned her head and looked coldly at the confused Beast Tamers. ¡°I¡¯ve already said what I wanted to say. If any of you have any thoughts of watching the battle, you can follow us to the evaluation section.¡± After saying this, Hash raised her hand and kept the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle into the space on the back of her hand. Then, without looking back, she walked towards the door of Starlux Gym¡¯s reception area. Giles and Annie looked at each other and saw their respective admiration for Hash in each other¡¯s eyes. Is this the strength and means of an Elite Beast Tamer? Just by releasing her spiritual energy, she could suppress so many Beast Tamers. Moreover, her solution to deal with this misunderstanding was so simple and clear. Given that there was no such thing, there was no need to exin it to them. If they didn¡¯t believe her, they could juste over to watch the battle and find out if there was a misunderstanding. Before Giles and Annie could recover from their admiration for Hash, their attention was quickly drawn to something Hash said. ¡°Giles, which direction should I go in to head to Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section?¡± ¡°Uh, Sister Hash, wait a moment!¡± After Giles reacted, he pointed to Annie and the direction of the evaluation section. ¡°Annie, you¡¯ve been to our Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section before. Please wait for me in the evaluation section with Sister Hash.¡± ¡°After I register all the Beast Tamers who need to borrow the training ground, I will bring the Beast Tamers who are nning to watch the battle over there.¡± ¡°Okay, Giles. In that case, I¡¯ll bring Her Excellency Hash to the evaluation section and wait for you.¡± Annie nodded at Giles, before leading Hash towards the evaluation section. ¡°Alright, regarding what just happened, although it¡¯s just a misunderstanding, I still have to thank everyone for your kind intentions.¡± Seeing that Annie had already left the reception area with Hash, Giles thanked everyone. They were all Beast Tamers who lived in the nearby district. They were so agitated just now because they wanted to help Giles. Regarding this, even if there had been a misunderstanding, Giles would still thank them for their kind intentions. ¡°In that case, as usual, those who n to borrow the training ground can line up in the reception area to register before heading to the training ground.¡± ¡°Beast Tamers who are preparing to go to the evaluation area to watch the battle, please wait at the side for a while. I will head to the evaluation area with you guyster.¡± After Hash recalled the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and left, the Beast Tamers surrounding the entrance of Starlux Gym heaved a sigh of relief. Even before that, Hash had already withdrawn the spiritual energy that was oppressing them. However, they, who had already realized that they had offended Hash, did not dare to breathe loudly, let alone speak. Giles¡¯ words reminded them that their purpose foring to Starlux Gym this morning was to borrow the training ground. However, after what had happened this morning, how could they still be in the mood to train their spirit beasts? Seeing that Annie and Hash were no longer in the reception area, everyone asked Giles curiously, ¡°Giles, did we really misunderstand Her Excellency Hash and Miss Annie just now?¡± ¡°Yeah, this is indeed a misunderstanding, so I think I should exin it to everyone.¡± Giles, who had a serious expression on his face, nodded at all of them and told them that there had been a misunderstanding. The reason why he got Annie to bring Hash to the evaluation section first was also to exin to these Beast Tamers in the reception area. After confirming that everyone was going to the evaluation section to watch the match, Giles arranged the day¡¯s work for the staff in the reception area. Then, he led everyone to the evaluation section and exined the reason for today¡¯s incident to them. a??Actually, the reason why Her Excellency Hash and Miss Annie are here today is because¡­a?? Chapter 108 - Did I Say That You Can Leave?

Chapter 108: Did I Say That You Can Leave?

As a Beast-taming Gym, Starlux Gym was asrge as arge-scale park. Although Starlux Gym wasrge, it was notplicated and was mainly divided into five working areas. Giles opened the ¡°reception area¡± at the main door. It was the ce to receive Beast Tamers and handle the rted work matters. After the Beast Tamers registered at the reception area, they could head to the ¡°training area¡± to train their spirit beasts. If one needed to rest after the training ended, the ¡°residential area¡± was beside the training ground. Gym Leader Alice lived here, and Giles had always lived there before moving to the spirit-beast section and building the wooden cabin there. The staff of Starlux Gym usually took their lunch break in the residential area, so the residential area was also known as the ¡®resting area¡¯. The other direction that the reception area led to was the Starlux Gym¡¯s ¡°evaluation section¡± and the ¡°spirit beast section¡±. The reception and evaluation areas were not far apart. It would only take a few minutes if one were to walk there slowly. During the few-minutes journey, Giles exined to everyone the reason for the matter. However, he still hid some of it from them. His main exnation was that Hash hade to Starlux Gym today to assess his ability as the Acting Gym Leader. The content of the ability evaluation was to ept Miss Annie¡¯s challenge. This was because Miss Annie was the only Beast Tamer who had obtained the Starlux Gym badge after Gym Leader Alice left. That was why the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters had approved of the ability evaluation and allowed Miss Annie to challenge Starlux Gym again. As for the other problems¡­ Such as why didn¡¯t Giles let those Gold-rank spirit beasts fight? Was the Metal-feathered Eagle a newly discovered bird-type spirit beast? Why was its evaluation iplete? Regarding these questions, Giles had used reasons like ¡°personal privacy¡± and ¡°the Gym¡¯s confidential secrets¡± to hide them. After everyone calmed down and after hearing Giles¡¯ exnation, they realized that they had really misunderstood Hash and Annie. Therefore, they didn¡¯t care about the questions Giles didn¡¯t answer. This was because the most important problem now was that they were almost at the evaluation area of Starlux Gym! One had to know that Her Excellency Hash had said so herself. If they felt that Annie¡¯s challenge against Starlux Gym was unfair to Giles and that there was a conspiracy behind this matter, they coulde to the evaluation section to watch. If they stepped into the evaluation section now, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to directly telling Hash that ¡°they think this challenge is unfair, and there¡¯s a conspiracy behind this¡±? At the thought of this, everyone subconsciously slowed down their pace. At that moment, Giles had already reached the door of the evaluation section. Just as he was about to push open the door, he suddenly realized¡­ The people who had been following behind him all this while now kept a distance of nearly ten meters from him. Moreover, the air-conditioning function of the Starlux Gym had been activated after the spiritual energy supply was restored. However, everyone¡¯s forehead and neck were covered in sweat. Sweating profusely, they averted their gaze, not daring to look at the entrance of the evaluation section, It was as if the door to the evaluation section was the door to hell for them. Behind this door was a terrifying demon waiting for them to deliver themselves to its door. He saw that the people, who were originally behind him, were showing fear and hesitation. Giles, who had already exined everything to them, could understand their feelings. After all, they had just gathered to question Hash, who was an Elite Beast Tamer. Furthermore, among them, there were a few who had even verbally offended Hashi. Now that the misunderstanding had been resolved, their guilty selves naturally did not dare to meet Hash. Furthermore, what Hash said before she left was her final announcement to them. The fact that they were nning to e to the evaluation section to watch the battle¡± was actually a form of doubt towards Hashy. Perhaps in their opinion, as soon as they stepped through the door of the evaluation section, they would have to face the torrential rage of Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer. However, the reason they thought that was because they hadn¡¯t interacted much with Hash, so they didn¡¯t know much about her. Based on Hash¡¯s reaction to them previously, Giles knew that Hash actually couldn¡¯t be bothered with them. If they hadn¡¯t insisted on Hash giving them an exnation, Hash wouldn¡¯t have forced them to calm down by releasing her spiritual energy. At the thought of this, Giles sighed as he looked at the group of Beast Tamers who had stopped moving. ¡°Hah,e on over first, everyone. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I¡¯ll talk to Her Excellency Hashter. Everything will be fine.¡± When all of them heard Giles say this, they looked at each other and had no choice but to follow Giles, who had pushed open the door, towards the evaluation section. Just as Giles had said, they now knew that they had misunderstood Hash. Regardless of whether they were afraid or ashamed, they should actually meet Hash. However, when everyone followed Giles to the door of the evaluation section, they did not see Hash. They only saw Hash¡¯s huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle lying on the ground of the evaluation section. Giles, who had already gone through this once, did not have the same puzzled and odd expression as the other Beast Tamers. He walked to the side of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and raised his head to ask his question, ¡°Sister Hash, when are we going to carry out the ability evaluation?¡± ¡°Hmm? Giles, you¡¯re here?¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ question, Hash, who was lying down, sat up from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. Then, she scratched her messy hair and yawned. ¡°Ah, Giles, you¡¯re a little slow.¡± ¡°I slept for a while just now, but I¡¯m awake now.¡± Looking at Hash¡¯s sleepy face, Giles felt helpless. From what Hash said, it sounded like he had taken a long time. However, it had only taken him a few minutes to get here from the reception area with these Beast Tamers. Even if he had taken some time to exin the reason to everyone on the way, it shouldn¡¯t have taken more than ten minutes. Giles didn¡¯t voice out what he was thinking. Seeing that Hash had already woken up, he turned around and pointed at the group of Beast Tamers standing behind him. ¡°Sister Hash, all of them have something to say to you about the misunderstanding that just urred.¡± When Hash, who was stretching, heard Giles¡¯ words, she then noticed the group of Beast Tamers behind Giles. ¡°Yo! So many people are here?¡± Sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash looked at all of them and eximed. ¡°Did everyone who were at the gym entrance just nowe over to watch the battle?¡± Upon hearing Hash mention the spectating of the match, the nervous crowd began to apologize to her. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, we are extremely sorry about the misunderstanding!¡± ¡°We¡¯re not here to watch the evaluation this time. We¡¯re here to apologize to you in person!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We¡¯ll leave after apologizing. We definitely won¡¯t disturb you from hosting this challenge.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After the sweating crowd apologized to Hash, they did not want to stay in the evaluation section for another moment. However, to their surprise, when they turned around and prepared to leave the evaluation section, Hash¡¯snguid and gentle voice rang out behind them like the God of Death making an announcement as she said, ¡°Oh? Did I say that you can leave?¡± Chapter 109 - Annies New Spirit Beast

Chapter 109: Annie¡¯s New Spirit Beast

Perhaps because she had just woken up, Hash¡¯s voice was much softer than before. However, in the vast evaluation section, only her voice could be heard. The content of her words were like thunder. It rang out in the minds of the Beast Tamers who were nning to leave the evaluation section. Perhaps it was because they felt ashamed, or perhaps it was because they were afraid, but after hearing what Hash said, they stopped moving. They were like stone statues that had stared straight into the eyes of Medusa. At the same time, another voice suddenly rang out in this vast evaluation section. It was a heartbeat that sounded like waves rising and falling. Drip! Suddenly, a water dropletnded with a crisp sound among the Beast Tamers. As the drop of sweatnded on the ground, the group of sweaty Beast Tamers immediately snapped out of it. However, they could not stop the cold sweat from trickling down their foreheads and necks. Is Her Excellency Hash going to hold us ountable? That¡¯s right. We¡¯ve offended her before. It¡¯s only right for her to punish us now. I wonder how Her Excellency Hash ns to punish us. Drip¡­ Drip¡­ Drip¡­ As the group of Beast Tamers had no idea why Hash had stopped them, the drops of sweat on their foreheads, which contained their fear of Hash, gathered and trickled down their chins. At that moment, Giles, who was standing beside the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly said, ¡°Sister Hash, are you nning to keep them here to watch the battle?¡± Seeing that Hash had stopped the group of Beast Tamers from leaving, Giles also tried to figure out why Hash had stopped them. As Giles had more information than them, coupled with the fact that he knew that Hash was the type of person who couldn¡¯t be bothered with such matters, he spected that Hash had suddenly stopped them because she wanted to make them stay and watch the battle. ¡°Didn¡¯t theye here to watch the battle?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just reminding them not to forget their original goal.¡± At this point, Hash smiled and looked at the nervous Beast Tamers. ¡°Since you¡¯ve alle over, why are you in such a hurry to leave?¡± ¡°The battle between Giles and Annie is about to begin.¡± ¡°All of you came sote and you apologized to me the moment you saw me.¡± ¡°I believe it¡¯s because Giles has already exined the misunderstanding that you guys had on your way here.¡± Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, looked down at Giles as she spoke. Sensing Hash¡¯s amused gaze, Giles knew that Hash had read his mind back then. Giles could only scratch his head awkwardly, not meeting Hash¡¯s gaze. Seeing Giles¡¯ reaction when he met her gaze, Hash knew that she had guessed correctly. ¡°Since Giles has already exined to you, you should know the importance of this battle between Giles and Annie.¡± ¡°This time, Miss Annie¡¯s challenge to Starlux Gym once more concerns whether she can obtain the Starlux Gym¡¯s badge.¡± ¡°In this ability, evaluation Giles will also prove that he has the ability to be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym.¡± ¡°Therefore, as the umpire for this ability evaluation, I naturally hope that more people will be the witnesses of this challenge.¡± At that moment, Hash, who was saying this, still lookedzy and sleepy. However, everyone, who was so nervous that their foreheads were covered in sweat, could sense a sense of tranquility and peace from Hash¡¯s words. This caused their hearts, which had been pounding incessantly due to nervousness, to gradually recover to their normal speed. When she saw that everyone¡¯s expressions had finally returned to normal, Hash extended her invitation to them. ¡°Therefore, although everyone came to the evaluation zone today because of a freakbination of misunderstandings, I still hope that you can stay here and witness today¡¯s challenge.¡± When everyone heard that Hash, an Elite Beast Tamer, did not me them or take issue with them for their previous offenses and even invited them to witness today¡¯s challenge, their tensed bodies immediately rxed as they epted Hash¡¯s invitation to watch the battle. ¡°That¡¯s not a problem at all, Your Excellency. I¡¯m honored to be the witness of this challenge.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare to see a challenge this morning. I¡¯ve been unable to calm down since just now, let alone train.¡± ¡°Speaking of today¡¯s challenge, I¡¯ve been curious from the beginning about the odds of Giles winning with a Silver-rank spirit beast.¡± ¡°Giles won the championship of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournamentst month. Even if he uses a Silver-rank to fight a Gold-rank, he might still be able to win easily.¡± ¡°That still depends on Miss Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast. Otherwise, it¡¯s not easy to determine who will win this challenge.¡± ¡°By the way, where¡¯s Miss Annie? Didn¡¯t shee to the evaluation section with Her Excellency Hash previously? Why haven¡¯t I seen her?¡± ¡°¡­¡± It was only when someone in the crowd suddenly mentioned Annie that everyone realized¡­ From the moment they stepped into the evaluation section, their attention had been focused on Hash and her huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that they hadpletely neglected the other protagonist in today¡¯s challenge ¨C Annie, the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. After realizing this, everyone looked around curiously. As they walked towards the spectator stand, they searched for Annie in the vast evaluation section. ¡°Annie, Giles is here. Are you and your little cat ready?¡± Seeing the spectators begin to take their seats, Hash asked Annie as shemanded the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle to move towards the umpire¡¯s table. ¡°Your Excellency Hash, we¡¯re ready!¡± ¡°Meow!¡± Everyone suddenly heard Annie and a cat¡¯s voiceing from behind the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. As the huge Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle began to move its body, only then did everyone see Annie and the spirit beast beside her. ¡°Hmm? When did Miss Annie contract another Gold-rank spirit beast?¡± ¡°Ah? Isn¡¯t Miss Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast the Green-tailed Cat?¡± ¡°Look at that Gold-rank spirit beast. Does it look like a Green-tailed Cat? Its body is double the size of the Green-tailed Cat!¡± ¡°¡­¡± After a Beast Tamer eximed, everyone¡¯s gazended on Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast. Listening to everyone¡¯s discussion, Giles, who had already activated the simtor, also began to observe Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast. This Gold-rank spirit beast was twice the size of the Green-tailed Cat. However, it was still a cat-type spirit beast like the Green-tailed Cat. Other than its size, it had many characteristics that were simr to the Green-tailed Cat. For example, its pure white tail also had a tinge of green at the end like that of the Green-tailed Cat. The difference between it and the Green-tailed Cat was that the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s tail was more like a soft spring onion. However, the tinge of green at the end of its tail was actually more like a thin willow leaf. The most obvious characteristics of its body were its two ears with tree-leaf patterns. The emerald green leaf patterns extended from the back of its ears to the pure white fur on its neck. From afar, it looked like it was wearing a ne made of vines. More importantly, Giles could also sense a familiar spiritual energy aura from the Gold-rank spirit beast. One had to understand that this wasn¡¯t the first time Giles had epted Annie¡¯s challenge. Besides the challenges from before, he had also fought Annie a couple of times. Hence, he subconsciously raised his doubts. ¡°Annie, could this spirit beast be¡­?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Giles. It¡¯s just like you think.¡± Annie squatted beside the Gold-rank cat-type spirit beast. As she stroked its fur, she answered Giles¡¯ question, ¡°This is what my Green-tailed Cat looks like after its evolution.¡± ¡°Its current name is Leaf-eared Cat.¡± Chapter 110 - Bloodline Potential and Combat Rank

Chapter 110: Bloodline Potential and Combat Rank

¡°Meow~¡± When it heard Annie call its name, the cat meowed softly. Then, it continued to lower its head and close its eyes as it enjoyed Annie¡¯s touch. Giles saw that the Leaf-eared Cat had obediently responded to Annie, and that they were very close. He waspletely certain that this Leaf-eared Cat was the evolved Green-tailed Cat. However, Giles couldn¡¯t help but have some questions in his mind. Why did the Green-tailed Cat, who was evaluated as ¡®Silver-rank¡¯, evolve? Could it be that Annie had some fortuitous encounter when she returned to her hometown in Yorkshire? At the same time, the Beast Tamers who were preparing to watch the battle also heard Annie introduce her Leaf-eared Cat to Giles. This news also caused quite amotion among them. ¡°Miss Annie, has your new cat-type spirit beast been named ¡®Leaf-eared Cat¡¯?¡± ¡°No wonder it looks simr to the Green-tailed Cat. It turns out that this is what the Green-tailed Cat looks like after its evolution!¡± ¡°Just now, I was still wondering when Miss Annie had contracted another Gold-rank spirit beast. Turns out it¡¯s actually the Green-tailed Cat from before!¡± ¡°But isn¡¯t the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s bloodline potential publicly acknowledged as Silver-rank? Logically speaking, spirit beasts whose bloodline potential is evaluated below Gold-rank won¡¯t be able to evolve!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, don¡¯t forget that Miss Annie is the Second Young Lady of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. With their family¡¯s wealth, it won¡¯t be difficult for them to improve the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s bloodline potential.¡± ¡°So, is this the power of money? Even a Silver-rank spirit beast that wasn¡¯t able to evolve in its lifetime can raise its bloodline potential to the Gold-rank by spending money to think of other ways.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The spectators started discussing fervently. Giles also liked to understand all kinds of knowledge about spirit beasts. Hence, he could not suppress his curiosity and his desire for knowledge as he asked Annie a question, ¡°Annie, although I know that I might intrude into yours and the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s privacy if I ask such a question, I really want to know how your Green-tailed Cat managed to increase its bloodline potential and evolve into the current Leaf-eared Cat.¡± After hearing Giles¡¯ question, the spectators also stopped discussing. Furthermore, they, who had been sitting upright, were now leaning forward slightly, seemingly worried that they might miss Miss Annie¡¯s answer or not hear it clearly. Annie, who had the answer, seemed to have been mentally prepared when everyone looked at her curiously. Thus, there was no sign of embarrassment or panic on her face. Annie, who was squatting beside the cat, slowly stood up and smiled at Giles. ¡°Giles, I already told you before that we¡¯re good friends.¡± ¡°Therefore, you don¡¯t have to worry that this question will offend me.¡± ¡°And the question you brought up didn¡¯t really involve personal privacy.¡± ¡°I expect that this piece of news will soon spread from Yorkshire to Florida.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Listening to Annie¡¯s answer, Giles, who was standing in front of the scene simtor, nodded slightly. The actual situation was simr to what he had spected. Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat had indeed evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat in her hometown, Grey City. There were many cat-type spirit beasts in Grey City, Yorkshire. Among them, wild Green-tailed Cats ounted for arge portion. That was why out of love for the Green-tailed Cat, Annie, who grew up in Grey City, had made the Green-tailed Cat her first spirit beast to contract with. However, half a month ago, Beast Tamers, who had gone out collectively during the autumn hunting season, suddenly discovered a new breed of cat-type spirit beast in the wilderness of Grey City. It was a Leaf-eared Cat that looked simr to the Green-tailed Cat but was twice asrge. As wild Leaf-eared Cats appeared one after another in the eyes of the Beast Tamers who were out hunting, they also realized that the Leaf-eared Cat that they had first discovered was not a rare case. Hence, the local Beast Tamer Association sent out professional investigators and researchers. After their investigation and research, they realized that this new breed of cat, the Leaf-eared Cat, actually evolved from a Green-tailed Cat. The reason why the wild Green-tailed Cats suddenly had an increase in their bloodline potential in their body andpleted their evolution was because they had all lived near a stream before. The water in the stream seemed to have a magical power. As the investigators and researchers ventured deeper, they started searching downstream all the way till they reached the upper reaches. They finally found the reason why the Green-tailed Cat evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat. It was an old tree that had been severed near the upper reaches of the stream. Although that old tree was merely an ordinary willow tree, the Ink Spiritual Vine attached to it had been soaking in the upper reaches of the stream, thereby affecting the quality of the water in the stream. Therefore, because the Green-tailed Cats living downstream drank water that contained the residue of the Ink Spiritual Vine over a long period of time, their bloodline potential rose from Silver rank to Gold rank. When thebat power of these Green-tailed Cats also increased to the Gold rank that corresponded to their bloodline potential, they then evolved into Leaf-eared Cats. Hence, after the investigators and researchers came to this conclusion, they tried to feed an Ink Spiritual Vine to a Green-tailed Cat that had already reached the Gold rank. The final oue of the trial was the same as their conclusion. After eating the Ink Spiritual Vine, the Green-tailed Cat, which had reached Gold-rank, evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat within a day. This shocking discovery quickly spread from the wilderness of Grey City to the city, causing a stir among some Beast Tamers in Grey City. As there were a lot of Green-tailed Cats in Grey City, more than a third of Beast Tamers in the city had contracted a Green-tailed Cat as their first spirit beast. However, most of the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s potential was only limited to Silver-rank. Thus, their highestbat prowess could only barely reach the Gold rank. However, there were very few Beast Tamers like Annie who could train the Green-tailed Cat¡¯sbat strength to Gold rank. Therefore, the Silver-rank Beast Tamers in Grey City, who had contracted Green-tailed Cats,were moved to tears by this news. This was because after those Silver-rank Green-tailed Cats that had reached a bottleneck ate the Ink Spiritual Vine, not only did theirbat strength level break through to the Gold rank more easily than before, the Green-tailed Cats could evolve into a Leaf-eared Cat after itsbat strength broke through to the Gold rank and they could assimte a new innate skill. Two weeks ago, Annie had returned to her hometown, Grey City, with Alina, who had gone home to recuperate. Her Green-tailed Cat, which had long broken through to the Gold rank, had also caught up with this trend in Grey City and evolved into the current Leaf-eared Cat.

Chapter 111: The Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce Purchases a Lot of Ink Spiritual Vines

¡°Feeding the Green-tailed Cat with the Ink Spiritual Vine can actually increase the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s bloodline potential to the Gold rank? This is a shocking discovery!¡± ¡°No wonder no other Green-tailed Cat had evolved in our base city. It¡¯s because this news hasn¡¯t spread from Yorkshire to Florida.¡± ¡°Hey! Fes! I think I already smell a business opportunity! As a Silver-rank spiritual energy herb, the Ink Spiritual Vine is not considered very rare on the market.¡± ¡°Okay, I think we can totally stock up on a batch. We can sell it at a high price after the news spreads to Florida. I can provide arge warehouse here. Which brother wants to invest and work with me?¡± ¡°Stop dreaming. Before you daydream about bing rich overnight, can you first think about whether Florida and Yorkshire are the same?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! In Miss Annie¡¯s hometown, Grey City, more than a third of the spirit beasts contracted by Beast Tamers are Green-tailed Cats. That¡¯s why there is a market in Yorkshire that urgently needs Ink Spiritual Vines.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, as far as I know, Green-tailed Cats are considered a rare nt-type spirit beast in Florida.¡± ¡°Furthermore, in our base city, there should only be about ten Beast Tamers who contracted a Green-tailed Cat.¡± ¡°Hah, I was just so focused on hoarding Ink Spiritual Vines that I nearly forgot that the situation in Florida ispletely different from that in Yorkshire.¡± ¡°Buddy, even if this is really a business opportunity that can earn money, don¡¯t forget that the person who revealed this business opportunity to us is Miss Annie from the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Since Miss Annie revealed this business opportunity to us, it means that the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce has already made preparations to purchase them and stock up.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After finding out that Annie¡¯s Gold-rank spirit beast, the Green-tailed Cat, had evolved from eating the Ink Spiritual Vine, the spectators began to discuss fervently. In their discussion, apart from thinking that Silver-rank spiritual herbs like the Ink Spiritual Vine had a huge business opportunity, more importantly, they were surprised by the unexpected discovery that the Green-tailed Cat could raise its bloodline potential to Gold rank by eating the Ink Spiritual Vine. Annie had expected this series of reactions. ¡°If possible, please help me publicize this news after watching my challenge today.¡± Annie saw someone among the spectators suggest that this might be a huge business opportunity. With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she took out a stack of cards and waved them at everyone in the spectator stands as she proposed a deal to them, ¡°Our Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce is in urgent need of a batch of Ink Spiritual Vines. We don¡¯t have a limit to the amount we want to purchase for the time being.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s a seller introduced by everyone who is watching today, as long as they can give the number on the referral card that represents the referee, we will buy their Ink Spiritual Vine at the highest price on the market.¡± ¡°Furthermore, we will also transfer 1% of the final transaction price to the bank ount of the person who made the referral.¡± ¡°Friends who want to help me, cane to my ce to receive the referral card after my challenge ends.¡± When they heard that Annie had given them a chance to earn money, the spectators cheered. ¡°Alright! Miss Annie, that won¡¯t be a problem at all. I can be a referee who specially buys Ink Spiritual Vines for the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce!¡± ¡°Miss Annie, I also need a referral card! I know many Beast Tamers who hunt in Grant Forest!¡± ¡°Me too! Although I didn¡¯t go out of the city to hunt, my brother and his friends have already gone out of the city to hunt for several days. They will definitely bring the Ink Spiritual Vine back!¡± ¡°¡­¡± With the current strength of these Beast Tamers, they were temporarily unable to head out of the city to hunt. Otherwise, during this autumn hunting season, they wouldn¡¯t havee to Starlux Gym to borrow the training ground. Now, with this opportunity given by Annie, they could earn additional ie. Most importantly, they could also use this opportunity to establish a connection with the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. This way, in the future, they would also have the opportunity to head out of the city to hunt. Their hunting gains could also be sold for a good price in the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. ¡°In that case, this matter is decided. After this challenge ends, remember toe to my ce to receive the referral card.¡± Annie waved the stack of referral cards in her hand at the spectators. ¡°Miss Annie, since your Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce¡¯s customer-base expansion activity has ended, it¡¯s time for our ability evaluation to begin.¡± Seeing Annie put away the stack of referral cards in her hand, Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, brought up the ability assessment. Annie¡¯s sudden proposal to everyone regarding the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce wanting to purchase arge amount of Ink Spiritual Vines, had been approved by Hash. As an Elite Beast Tamer, Hash had seen Annie release the Leaf-eared Cat from her spatial tattoo before. Although she was knowledgeable and did not have such a huge reaction like everyone else, she had still been a little surprised by Annie¡¯s new spirit beast. Annie had also considered what everyone¡¯s reaction would be when they saw the Leaf-eared Cat after she let it out. This was because in the original ability evaluation, there was actually no need for a witness other than the umpire. Hence, after knowing that many people mighte to watch the battle, Annie thought of this solution. After all, based on the emotional state that they were in previously, after Giles¡¯ exnation made them realize that this was a misunderstanding, they would still feel ashamed or embarrassed when they faced Hash and Annie again. Even if Hash invited them to stay here to watch the battle, it was inevitable that some of them would feel uneasy and embarrassed. Annie had taken out the stack of referral cards and used her exnation to everyone about the origin of the Leaf-eared Cat to put forth that the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce would be buying arge amount of Ink Spiritual Vines, so as to divert their attention and emotions. In actuality, she had meant to pass this stack of referral cards in her hand to Giles after the challenge ended, so that he could distribute them to the Beast Tamers who came to Starlux Gym to borrow the training ground . It was also because of this that Hash had agreed to let Annie bring up this event to expand the customer base of the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce before the challenge began. ¡°No problem, Your Excellency Hash. The Leaf-eared Cat and I are ready.¡± Annie looked at the spectators who were discussing the Ink Spiritual Vine. She knew then that she had sessfully diverted everyone¡¯s attention. At that moment, they were staying in the evaluation section to watch the battle and they no longer had that awkward expression from before. ¡°In that case, what about you, Giles?¡± Sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash leaned forward and looked in the direction of the scene simtor. Giles, who was standing in front of the scene simtor, nodded at her. ¡°Sister Hash, the spiritual energy shield at the edge of the venue has already been activated.¡± ¡°The ability evaluation can be carried out anytime now in the venue.¡± Chapter 112 - The Reason for the Temporary Closure of the Beast-taming Gyms

Chapter 112: The Reason for the Temporary Closure of the Beast-taming Gyms

¡°Alright, then!¡± Seeing that Giles, who was in charge of operating the scene simtor, was already prepared, Hash reminded Annie, ¡°As the format of this ability evaluation is the same as the usual challenges in gyms, Miss Annie, as the challenger, you can determine the environment for the scene simtion.¡± As an old acquaintance who had challenged Starlux Gym several times, Annie was naturally very familiar with these procedures. As soon as Hash mentioned that she could choose the scene for the simtion, she told her about the environment she needed, ¡°Okay, I choose an environment with forests and shrubs. Additionally, I would like to request for the dome of the evaluation section to be opened.¡± Hearing Annie tell him the environment she needed, Giles, who was already prepared, began to operate the scene simtor. Tap tap tap¡­ Buzz¡­ As Giles kept pressing the buttons on the simtor, mist-like spiritual energy began to rise in the arena. Unlike when Giles was training the Metal-feathered Eagle in this venue this morning, the spiritual energy that rose from the arena this time was the tender green color that represented the nt element. As time passed, the density of the fog-type spiritual energy continued to increase. The tender green spiritual energy surging in the arena was like a grasnd blown by a gentle breeze. When the concentration of spiritual energy reached a certain level, the surging spiritual energy began to condense. Eventually, the green spiritual energy condensed into tall trees and short shrubs in the arena. Click¡­ After Giles, who was operating the scene simtor, set the environment in the arena, he turned on the switch for the evaluation section¡¯s dome. While the spiritual energy in the arena condensed into trees and shrubs, the morning sun illuminated the entire evaluation section. The warm sun shone on the trees and shrubs condensed from spiritual energy. This filled the tender green leaves with vitality, as if they had be real trees and shrubs. As for the spectators, they did not idle around during this period of time. Seeing that Annie did not hesitate to choose the battle environment that was most advantageous to the cat, they expressed their thoughts. ¡°Sunlight that can strengthen photosynthesis, a battle environment constructed from wood-type spiritual energy, a forest that can interfere with the flight of bird-type spirit beasts, and bushes that can conceal one¡¯s body. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Miss Annie has made ample preparations for today¡¯s challenge!¡± ¡°Looks like Miss Annie is doing just as she said. Even if Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle is a Silver-rank spirit beast with an iplete evolution, she will still give it her all in this challenge out of respect for Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°Although we have already cleared the misunderstanding with Her Excellency Hash, if Miss Annie and her Leaf-eared Cat exert their full strength in this battle environment, I think Giles and his Silver-rank Metal-feathered Eagle will definitely lose.¡± ¡°I think Giles¡¯ still has a chance of winning. Don¡¯t forget that Giles was the dark horse who won the Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournamentst month.¡± ¡°However, the difference inbat strength between a Silver-rank spirit beast and a Gold-rank spirit beast is not something that can be easily made up for with the Beast Tamer¡¯s powerfulmanding skills.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Furthermore, Miss Annie is also a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. Coupled with the attributes and environment of this ce, it will be beneficial for her Leaf-eared Cat to perform. I think Miss Annie has a 90% chance of winning this challenge.¡± ¡°It still depends on Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s current Combat Effectiveness Rank . Although Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle is currently in a state of iplete evolution, since it was able to evolve previously, that means that it at least has the bloodline potential of a Gold rank. Furthermore, its currentbat strength should at least be at Silver-rank seven stars and above.¡± ¡°¡­¡± While Giles was operating the scene simtor, he also heard the discussion between the spectators. From time to time, they would mention the words ¡°Bloodline potential¡± and ¡°Combat Effectiveness Rank¡±. These two words were the main reason why the Beast Tamer Association had temporarily closed the Beast-taming Gyms. That was, the Beast Tamer Association wanted to carry out aplete system reform on the evaluations of the strength of Beast Tamers and the rank of spirit beasts. Therefore, as the official agencies responsible for evaluating strength and rank, the Beast-taming Gyms were temporarily closed for a week. During this week, all the gym leaders of the Beast-taming Gyms focused their attention on learning and applying the brand new strength and rank evaluation method. For example, the ¡®Bloodline Potential¡¯ of spirit beasts was now divided into seven ranks from low to high. They were Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Epic, Legendary and Mythic. Among them, spirit beasts whose bloodline potential had reached Gold rank and above would evolve during a certain period or when they fulfilled certain criteria. Spirit beasts whose bloodline potential reached the Legend rank or above would evolve twice during a certain period or when they fulfilled certain criteria. However, under normal circumstances, no matter how high the bloodline potential of a spirit beast was, its initial ¡°cCombat Effectiveness Rank¡± would start from the lowest Bronze-rank One Star and increase from there. When its Combat Effectiveness Rank rose from one-star to nine-star Bronze rank, it would encounter a bottleneck. If it could sessfully break through the bottleneck, its Combat Effectiveness Rank would increase to be Silver-rank one star. This set of Combat Effectiveness Ranking from Bronze-rank to Mythic-rank, and from one-star to nine-star, was also suitable for the evaluation of a Beast Tamer¡¯s strength. For example, when the Combat Effectiveness Rank of a spirit beast was increased, the Beast Tamer who contracted with it would not only have their spiritual power increased, but their physique would also be enhanced. The first time Hash came to Starlux Gym to meet Giles, she had determined through her spiritual perception that Giles had been at the ¡®Silver-rank, five star¡¯ Combat Effectiveness Rank at that time. When a spirit beast broke through to the Epic rank, the Beast Tamer who had contracted it and grew together with it would alsoe into contact with a trace of the Power of the Universe together with their Epic-rank spirit beast. For example, as an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Hash and her Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, who was about to break through to the Legend rank, had alreadye into contact with the Power of the Universe. Although the Beast Tamer Association imed that this was a new method to evaluate one¡¯s strength and rank, it was still based on the previous method which had undergone a drastic improvement. This was because before this system reform, the concept of ¡°bloodline potential¡± and bat effectiveness rank¡± had already existed. However, when they were evaluating spirit beasts, they had simply used the highest rank between the two as a determiner. Annie¡¯s pre-evolution Green-tailed Cat was an example. The upper limit of the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s bloodline potential was recognized as Silver-rank. The bloodline potential of some of the weaker Green-tailed Cats might even lower at the Bronze rank. The upper limit of the bloodline potential determined the upper limit of a Green-tailed Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank after it had undergone training. The bloodline potential of the Green-tailed Cat was at the Silver rank. After being trained by Annie, who was a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, it could barely reach the Gold rank. However, if the Green-tailed Cat¡¯s bloodline potential was Bronze rank, then even if its Beast Tamer was Gold-rank, the highest rank it could attain would only be Silver rank. Therefore, before this reform, Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat was at Silver rank because of its bloodline potential. While itsbat effectiveness rank was still at the Bronze rank, it would be evaluated as a Silver-rank spirit beast. When its Beast Tamer, Annie, underwent the strength evaluation, she would be certified as a ¡°Silver-rank Beast Tamer¡± because she had only contracted this Silver-rank spirit beast. After the Green-tailed Cat broke through to the Gold rank under Annie¡¯s training, it would be evaluated as a Gold-rank spirit beast. Moreover, its Beast Tamer, Annie, would be certified as a Gold-rank Beast Tamer because she had trained it into a Gold-rank spirit beast. However, after the institutional reforms, the concept of ¡°bloodline potential¡± and bat effectiveness rank¡± were no longer vague. The evaluation of Beast Tamers¡¯ strength and the evaluation of their spirit beasts were no longer linked together. Therefore, during the evaluation of a spirit beast, it would be separatelybeled as its ¡®bloodline potential¡¯ being at the Gold rank, and its current bat effectiveness rank¡¯ at Bronze rank, one star. Even if a Beast Tamer had already canceled the contract with their Epic-rank spirit beast for some special reason, as long as he came into contact with a trace of the Power of the Universe, he would be an Epic-rank Beast Tamer even if he did not have a spirit beast.

Chapter 113: Silver-rank Nine Stars Against a Gold-rank Three Stars

At that moment, the dome of the Starlux Gym evaluation section had beenpletely opened. In the arena, there were trees and bushes made of green nt-type spiritual energy. Under the sunlight, the green spiritual-energy leaves were glowing with vigor. Giles stood in front of the scene simtor and watched as the battle environment Annie needed gradually formed. He brought the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was standing beside him, from the scene simtor to stand opposite Annie. ¡°Annie, after your Green-tailed Cat evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat, itsbat effectiveness rank should have increased, right?¡± If the bloodline potential was a judgment of the future potential of spirit beasts, in that case, thebat effectiveness rank was an estimate of the spirit beast¡¯s currentbat ability. Under normal circumstances, when a spirit beast sessfully evolved, itsbat effectiveness rank would clearly increase. Annie had brought her Green-tailed Cat to Starlux Gym to challenge and train many timesst month. Giles, who was in charge of Starlux Gym, was very familiar with Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat. Therefore, Giles could clearly sense that although the Leaf-eared Cat squatting beside Annie was still a Gold-rank spirit beast, the aura it exuded was clearly much stronger and thicker than when it was still a Gold-rank Green-tailed Cat. However, based on Giles¡¯ current experience, he temporarily could not sense how much the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank had increased. ¡°You¡¯re right, Giles.¡± Annie nodded at Giles, who was standing across from her. Then, Annie lowered her head and looked at the Leaf-eared Cat who was squatting beside her. ¡°As a Beast Tamer who had a contract with the Green-tailed Cat, when it sessfully evolved from a Green-tailed Cat to a Leaf-eared Cat, I could clearly sense that itsbat effectiveness rank had increased. However¡­¡± Annie suddenly paused. When she spoke again, there was a tinge of pity in her voice. ¡°As it¡¯s now the turn of the Beast-taming Gyms in Yorkshire to close, I had to bring the Leaf Cat back to Florida.¡± ¡°I was preparing to find a Beast-taming Gym here that has opened up with the new system to evaluate the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± ¡°Then, I would continue to challenge the Beast-taming Gyms and collect the gym badges required to participate in the Global Beast Tamer Tournament.¡± p! p! p! At that moment, Hash, who was sitting on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, suddenly pped her hands. ¡°Alright, everyone. Since everything is in ce, let¡¯s quit the idle chat.¡± Giles, Annie, and the spectators all looked over at Hash. When Hash saw that everyone¡¯s eyes were on her, she plucked a long weed from the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle and casually used the weed to tie up her messy hair. Hash slowly stood up and casually swatted the leaves that had stuck to her clothes. After tidying the creases on her clothes, Hash put away herzy demeanor and looked at Giles. ¡°Giles, regarding the recording function attached to the scene simtor, you¡¯ve already turned it on, right?¡± In the face of the uing ability evaluation, Giles¡¯ expression also became serious. Giles nodded solemnly at Hash and even changed his way of addressing her as he said, ¡°Your Excellency Hash, the recording has begun.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Hash¡¯s gaze swept from Giles to Annie on both sides of the arena to the spectators sitting opposite her. Then, she solemnly bowed to everyone. After which, she officially introduced the details of this ability evaluation to everyone present, ¡°As the Beast Tamer who has been bestowed the title of ¡®Elite¡¯ by the Beast Tamer Association, I will be the judge and witness in the ability evaluation of whether Giles is able to take on the position of Starlux Gym¡¯s Gym Leader.¡± ¡°Following the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s principle of ¡®fair, just, and open¡¯, the entire duration of this ability evaluation will be recorded using the recording function attached to the scene simtor. After the evaluation ends, the recording of the battle will be sent to the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association.¡± ¡°The rules of this ability evaluation are the same as the usual challenges in gyms. It will be carried out in a one-on-one format.¡± ¡°Both sides will send out a spirit beast to fight. The party whose spirit beast loses its ability to fight first will be determined as defeated.¡± ¡°This is the specific content and rules of this ability evaluation. Do both parties have any doubts about this?¡± After the introductions, Hash looked at Giles and Annie. The two opponents shook their heads and replied to her at the same time. ¡°I don¡¯t have any questions.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have any questions.¡± Standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash slowly raised her hand, causing her palm to face up. A stream of green spiritual energy representing the nt element began to condense in her palm. ¡°In that case, Giles, let your Metal-feathered Eagle fly over.¡± ¡°Yes, Your Excellency.¡± Giles agreed and stroked the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, you don¡¯t have to be nervous or afraid. It¡¯s just as Her Excellency Hash had said previously.¡± ¡°Her Excellency Hash is going to use her spiritual energy to reinforce the vine belt around your abdomen.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle who was enjoying Giles¡¯ stroking, half-closed its eyes and nodded. Then, it flew towards Hash and stopped in front of her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, little one. This won¡¯t cause you any pain.¡± With the nt-type spiritual energy in her palm, Hash raised her hand and pushed it lightly. The nt-type spiritual energy slowly flowed into the vine belt wrapped around the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s abdomen. After absorbing the tender-green nt-type spiritual energy, a faintyer of green film appeared on the dark green vine belt. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s done. Go back, good child.¡± Hash saw that the vine belt around the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s abdomen had been sessfully reinforced. She waved at the Metal-feathered Eagle flying in front of her, indicating that it could head back now. The Metal-feathered Eagle heard this and flew back to Giles after nodding at Hash to thank her. ¡°Before the ability evaluation begins, as the umpire and witness, I have already determined thebat effectiveness rank of the spirit beasts sent by both sides through my spiritual perception.¡± Upon hearing that Hash had already determined thebat effectiveness rank of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the Leaf-eared Cat through her spiritual perception, the people sitting in the spectator stands subconsciously leaned forward. Hash first looked at the side of Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s currentbat effectiveness rank is at Silver-rank, nine stars.¡± Then, Hash turned to look at Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat. ¡°As for Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat, its currentbat effectiveness rank is at Gold-rank, three stars.¡± Chapter 114 - His Win Rate Is At Most Two Percent

Chapter 114: His Win Rate Is At Most Two Percent

After hearing Hash¡¯s rough assessment of thebat effectiveness ranks of the Metal-feathered Eagle and the Leaf-eared Cat, the spectator stand, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly erupted into amotion. ¡°On one side is the Metal-feathered Eagle whose evolution is iplete and has abat effectiveness rank of Silver-rank, nine Stars. On the other side is the Leaf-eared Cat who has sessfully evolved and has abat effectiveness rank of Gold-rank, three stars. The gap between these three ranks is not something that can be easily made up for with themanding ability of a Beast Tamer.¡± ¡°Also, there is a vine belt wrapped around the abdomen of the Metal-feathered Eagle. Although under Her Excellency Hash¡¯s control, the Absorption Vine doesn¡¯t absorb the spiritual energy of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it will still affect its movements.¡± ¡°Therefore, I think that under these circumstances, the Metal-feathered Eagle will at most have a win rate of two percent. One percent of the win rate is that the Metal-feathered Eagle just happens to be a metal-type spirit beast that counters nt-type spirit beasts like the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± ¡°In that case, the remaining one percent win rate should be because its Beast Tamer is Giles, right? After all, Giles was the dark horse who won the championship of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournamentst month.¡± ¡°Agreed! At the very least, I also think that Giles¡¯ ability tomand is stronger than Annie, who is a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. If he were tomand a Gold-rank one-star Metal-feathered Eagle to fight a Gold-rank four-star Leaf-eared Cat, his chances of winning would increase to at least 20%!¡± ¡°Yeah, although in both situations, there is a difference of threebat effectiveness ranks between both sides, some spirit beasts will evolve after theirbat effectiveness rank has reached Gold rank, one star.¡± ¡°Although Giles¡¯ Silver-rank, nine-star Metal-feathered Eagle is currently in a state of iplete evolution, the fact that it had an iplete evolution this time means that if it can increase itsbat effectiveness rank to Gold-rank, one star, it should be able toplete its evolution.¡± ¡°The difference of the threebat effectiveness ranks before and after evolution is still veryrge. Hah, it¡¯s a pity that the Metal-feathered Eagle is in a state of iplete evolution.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If it haspletely evolved, under Giles¡¯mand, it should be able to fight the Leaf-eared Cat for a while. At that time, it¡¯s really hard to say who will win.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Although there was a thick spiritual energy shield between Hash and the spectators, in order to let the spectators hear the umpire¡¯s judgment and the Beast Tamers¡¯mands, the soundproofing ability of the spiritual energy shield was not strong. Therefore, Hash could clearly hear the spectators¡¯ opinions and discussions. As an Elite Beast Tamer, Hash did not arrogantly scoff at the opinions of these spectators. In contrast, even though Hash was the judge and witness of this ability evaluation, she had also felt from the bottom of her heart that this ability evaluation was actually unfair to Giles. Just like what the spectators were discussing, under normal circumstances, based on the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s currentbat effectiveness rank and its iplete evolution, it was almost impossible for it to defeat Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat whosebat effectiveness rank was at Gold rank, three stars. However, judging from what Giles had said to Annie and the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s reaction to the battle just now, at the very least, Giles and his Metal-feathered Eagle both agreed that they had a chance of winning against Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat Moreover, Giles seemed to think that he would definitely win against Annie. Therefore, Hash was also very curious about the process of this ability evaluation. She wanted to know what kind of surprises Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle could bring her. As for what advantage Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had, Hash had a different opinion from the spectators. Comparing the attributes of the spirit beast, the advantage the Metal-feathered Eagle has in fighting the Leaf-eared Cat is indeed that the metal attribute counters the nt attribute. However, the key to determining victory is actually Giles, who ismanding the Metal-feathered Eagle outside the arena. At that thought, Hash tilted her head slightly in Giles¡¯ direction. She saw that Giles¡¯ lips were curled up slightly, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. After finding out that the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank was at Gold rank three stars, he did not show any signs of panic. The Metal-feathered Eagle that was flying beside him did not show any fear either. Hash could even detect a fighting spirit in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes. Looks like it¡¯s just as I thought. Even if no one thinks highly of them, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle are still confident of winning. When Hash noticed the expressions on Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s faces, she couldn¡¯t help but admire them. Although just like the Leaf-eared Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle is a new spirit beast that has just been discovered, Giles already knew that the Leaf-eared Cat had evolved from the previous Green-tailed Cat. As far as I know, Annie challenged Starlux Gym three timesst month. During this period, she would asionally bring her Green-tailed Cat to Starlux Gym for training. So, I think Giles is already familiar with Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat. Even if it has evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat, the skills it uses inbat basically wouldn¡¯t change. On the other hand, Annie, who has never seen the Metal-feathered Eagle, has no idea about its skills. This ck of information¡¯ is precisely the biggest advantage that Giles has! It is also the key to determining the oue of this challenge! After sensing Hash¡¯s gaze, Giles turned his head to the Metal-feathered Eagle flying beside him and pointed to the arena filled with trees and shrubs. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, fly into the arena and prepare for battle!¡± ¡°This is your first official match, so don¡¯t leave any regrets.¡± ¡°You have to enjoy this battle to the fullest and show the fruits of our training.¡± The flying Metal-feathered Eagle nodded vigorously at Giles. Then, it resolutely flew into the forest filled with trees and shrubs. In the face of Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle, who were filled with fighting spirit, Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat, who were the challengers, were infected by their emotions. They also quickly found the feeling that they had when they first challenged the gym. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, this is our first gym challenge after your evolution.¡± ¡°Moreover, this battle environment is also the most suitable ce for you to perform.¡± ¡°Therefore, go all out! This is the greatest respect you can show towards Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°Meow!¡± The Leaf-eared Cat, who was squatting beside Annie, let out a loud and clear cry. Then, it got up and leapt straight into the bushes in the arena. The Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings above the arena. The Leaf-eared Cat, which had crawled into the bushes, was nowhere to be found. Seeing this, Hash nodded slightly. She raised her right hand and signaled to everyone. ¡°The ability evaluation officially begins now!¡± Chapter 115 - The Leaf-eared Cats Innate Skill, Leaf Disguise

Chapter 115: The Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s Innate Skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯

Swoosh¡­ As the umpire, Hash, announced the start of the ability evaluation, the sound of leaves rustling could be heard from time to time in this green venue. It was the Leaf-eared Cat using the bushes to hide itself. It was changing its hiding spot. The spectators could clearly hear the sound of the cat brushing against the leaves as it moved. However, when they tried to use their naked eyes to catch sight of the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes, they always ended up empty-handed. ¡°This Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s body is clearly twice asrge as when it was still a Green-tailed Cat, but its speed did not decrease because of its size. Instead, it is even faster than when it was still a Green-tailed Cat!¡± ¡°It seems like even though the Green-tailed Cat has evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat, Miss Annie¡¯s main training direction for it is still to improve its agility!¡± ¡°No wonder Miss Annie specially chose this battle environment filled with bushes. The bushes and shrubs that can perfectly hide one¡¯s figure are the best ce for the Leaf-eared Cat to perform!¡± ¡°Most importantly, not only are the tall and dense trees limiting the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s vision along with the bushes, but if the Metal-feathered Eagle tries to capture the figure of the Leaf-eared Cat, who is hiding in the bushes, by lowering its flying height, the Leaf-eared Cat can also use the tall trees as a springboard and seize the opportunity tounch a sneak attack on the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Just as the spectators had spected previously, the battle had just begun when Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat disyed the advantage the battle environment had given it. Using the bushes and trees as cover, the cat hid its bodypletely in this green venue. Moreover, it would move through the bushes from time to time to try and distract the Metal-feathered Eagle by making a sound. At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat was like an experienced hunter hiding in the dark. It had been waiting for an opportunity. A chance to defeat its enemy in one move and win. Annie, who was standing outside the arena, gradually became serious after the battle began. As the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, she was the other eye of the Leaf-eared Cat as shemanded it to fight from outside the arena. Thus, her gaze was also focused on the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky. As long as the Metal-feathered Eagle revealed a loophole because it rxed, she would seize this opportunity. She wouldmand the Leaf-eared Cat hiding in the bushes to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle. Regarding this, as the umpire responsible for observing the entire venue, Hash could not help but nod and look at Annie in approval. This was because the spirit beast that Elite Beast Tamer Hash had contracted, the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, was also a nt-type spirit beast. Hash, who had started training the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle from the time it was a Bronze-rank one-star spirit beast, knew very well that the attacking ability of a nt-type spirit beast was actually not strong. Hmm¡­ Compared to the recording from when Miss Annie challenged Starlux Gym, not only has she perfected her strategy before the battle, but the strategy she came up with is also very suitable for the current Leaf-eared Cat. In that case, Giles, if you are currently epting the challenge as the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, how will you deal with the current predicament?¡± Due to the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s current predicament, Annie had predicted this battle environment in advance. Hence, when Hash thought of this, she instinctively looked in Giles¡¯ direction out of curiosity. However, to Hash¡¯s surprise, Giles was not nervous or flustered at all by the fact that he could not catch sight of the Leaf-eared Cat. On the contrary, Giles was actually looking at Annie in admiration like she had done just now. With a smile on his face, he even sighed softly. Annie, it hasn¡¯t even been a month since west met. You and your Leaf-eared Cat have improved greatly! The Leaf-eared Cat can now use the bushes topletely hide its body. Furthermore, after its size increased, not only did its speed not decrease, but it even increased greatly. The reason should be that after it evolved from a Green-tailed Cat to a Leaf-eared Cat, its previous innate skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯, was enhanced.¡± Ever since Giles started managing Starlux Gymst month, he had fought and trained with Annie several times. Therefore, he clearly remembered that Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat¡¯s innate skill was ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯. When the Green-tailed Cat was in an environment with higher concentration of nt-type spiritual energy like grasnd and shrubs, it could activate its innate skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯. It would make its pure white and wless fur have green patterns that were simr to the color of the surrounding grasnd or bushes. Under this camouge skill that was simr to that of a chameleon, it was usually very difficult for the opponent to find the Green-tailed Cat that was remaining still and waiting for an opportunity in the green bushes. Now, Annie¡¯s Green-tailed Cat had evolved into a Leaf-eared Cat. Under normal circumstances, if a spirit beast did not assimte a new innate skill after its evolution, in that case, its previous innate skill would definitely be enhanced by its evolution. Thus, as Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat began to move through the bushes, Giles realized that its innate skill had been enhanced after its evolution. This was because when it was still a Green-tailed Cat, if it activated its innate skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯, it would basically not move. Furthermore, even if it moved, it would only move softly and slowly. It would not deliberately create noise by rustling the leaves to distract the opponent like now. In Giles¡¯ opinion, Annie had especially devised this tactic for the Leaf-eared Cat. That meant that she was extremely confident in the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯. Clearly, the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s performance in this battle environment did not disappoint Annie. Not only did it not expose itself when it moved, but it also moved very quickly through the bushes. Facing a spirit beast that was good at hiding its body like the Leaf-eared Cat, the reason Giles could easily win his match against Anniest month was also because his Gold-rank spirit beast, the Swan Beast, had the skill ¡®Wind Wings¡¯ that could create a gale to sweep across the entire arena. It used the howling wind to forcefully blow the Leaf-eared Cat out of its hiding spot in the arena. This was indeed the best solution for the current predicament. However, although Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle was also a flying bird-type spirit beast, as the Metal-feathered Eagle had yet to grasp its bnce for a period of time before this, therefore, during the past two weeks of training, Giles did not let the Metal-feathered Eagle learn the skill ¡®Wind Wings¡¯. However, even if the Metal-feathered Eagle hadn¡¯t learned the skill ¡®Wind Wings¡¯, the so-called ¡®predicament¡¯ in front of it was actually not a problem. Metal-feathered Eagle, your moving target training in the past two weeks wasn¡¯t for nothing. At the thought of this, Giles raised his head slightly and looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle flying above the arena. He saw the Metal-feathered Eagle staring intently at a bush in the arena. As if sensing Giles¡¯ gaze, the Metal-feathered Eaglemunicated with Giles telepathically to send him a message, ¡°Giles, I¡¯ve found it!¡± Chapter 116 - You Expend Your Spiritual Energy, Whereas I Exert My Physical Strength

Chapter 116: You Expend Your Spiritual Energy, Whereas I Exert My Physical Strength

¡°Yes, Giles. The Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s current innate skill is simr to what you analyzed just now.¡± ¡°After it evolved from a Green-tailed Cat to a Leaf-eared Cat, its innate skill, ¡®Leaf Disguise¡¯, was significantly enhanced.¡± ¡°The spiritual energy that the Leaf-eared Cat expends after activating this skill is simr to before its evolution.¡± ¡°However, not only can itpletely hide its figure and aura, but it can also greatly increase its speed.¡± ¡°As the first team to discover this talent, the experts and schrs of Yorkshire named the enhanced innate skill ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. Unlike Giles, who looked rxed and was even in the mood to sight emotionally, Annie, who had a serious expression on her face, didn¡¯t take her eyes off the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air as she replied to Giles. After hearing Giles¡¯ analysis, Annie, who was already mentally prepared, was not surprised at all. In Annie¡¯s opinion, after the battles and trainingst month, it was only natural for Giles to know the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s skills very well. Hence, based on the current situation, he could hit the nail on the head with his guess that Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill had been enhanced after its evolution. Since Giles had already guessed the effect of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill, Annie merely told him outright without any intention of hiding it. After all, this was the current challenge that the Metal-feathered Eagle was facing. Even if Giles had guessed the innate skill of the Leaf-eared Cat, it would not change this reality. However, after observing the Metal-feathered Eagle for a few seconds, Annie frowned. From the reaction of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it didn¡¯t seem to think that this situation was a problem. The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had stopped above the arena, did not show any signs of nervousness or panic. Faced with the noisy chatter made by the cat shuttling through the bushes from time to time, the indifferent Metal-feathered Eagle shook its head slightly and calmly searched for the location of the Leaf-eared Cat. However, after the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped shaking its head, it still had no intention of moving. It merely pped its wings slowly and maintained its flying height above the surrounding trees. Under these circumstances, if the Green-eared Cat hiding in the bushes attacked rashly, the Metal-feathered Eagle would have ample time to react. Not only could it easily dodge the attack of the Leaf-eared Cat, but it could also seize this opportunity to retaliate. Annie frowned and made this judgment after observing in detail. Although there were dense trees and shrubs all over the ground to serve as camouge in this battle environment, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes were focused on the area where the cat was hiding. Could it be that in such aplicated battle environment, the Metal-feathered Eagle can still spot the Leaf-eared Cat? This thought crossed Annie¡¯s mind when she saw the Metal-feathered Eagle behaving so calmly. The reason why she decided to use this battle environment filled with trees and shrubs before the ability evaluation began was because¡­ Apart from nning to use the bushes to hide the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s figure, as well as to have the tall and dense trees block the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s vision¡­ Most importantly, it was to prevent the Metal-feathered Eagle from using the ¡®Wind Wings¡¯ skill to stir up a strong gust of wind and blow the Leaf-eared Cat cat out of the bushes like Giles¡¯ Gold-rank spirit beast, Swan Beast. Right now, there were many tall and dense trees in this area that could be used as bunkers to ward off the strong wind for the Leaf-eared Cat. Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle used the ¡®Wind Wings¡¯ skill at full strength, it would not be able to expose the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s body by relying on the strong wind. Right now, she was making use of the restrictions in the battle environment to seal off ¡®Wind Wings¡¯, a powerful skill that was extremely threatening to the Leaf-eared Cat. The Metal-feathered Eagle, which was pping its wings in the air, probably did not have any effective means to attack the Leaf-eared Cat. Initially, Annie was very confident about the strategy and tactics she had prepared for this challenge. However, when she thought about the praise and analysis Giles had just given, Annie, who had been staring at the Metal-feathered Eagle, began to cken her gaze. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but look at Giles, who looked much more rxed than she did. As a Beast Tamer who was alsomanding outside the arena, Giles seemed to be enjoying this long-awaited battle. At that moment, he was not observing the greenery-filled venue to help the Metal-feathered Eagle search for the Leaf-eared Cat. His gaze was the same as that of Annie¡¯s previously, only fixated on the Metal-feathered Eagle. At that moment, Giles had just received a message from the Metal-feathered Eagle via spiritualmunication. After confirming that the Metal-feathered Eagle could now catch sight of the Leaf-eared Cat, Giles sighed in his heart. Looks like the training of getting the Metal-feathered Eagle to use ¡°Feather Arrows¡± to shoot targets in the past two weeks had not been in vain. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s ability to use its eyes to capture moving targets is already outstanding. When Giles retracted his gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle, he noticed Annie looking at him. ¡°Annie, if you¡¯re nning to let the Leaf-eared Cat hide by activating its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, then my advice to you is to give up on this decision as soon as possible.¡± ¡°As you can see, ever since my Metal-feathered Eagle flew into this arena, its flying height has been maintained above the tall and dense trees.¡± ¡°Based on my understanding of the Leaf-eared Cat before its evolution, if your cat wants to attack the flying Metal-feathered Eagle, it will definitely expose its location when it activates its skill.¡± ¡°When your Leaf-eared Cat activates its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, it will continue to expend its spiritual energy. Meanwhile, my Metal-feathered Eagle will maintain its current flying height at a safe distance. It will only use a tiny amount of physical strength.¡± Although the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank was three ranks above the Metal-feathered Eagle, Annie also concurred with Giles¡¯ suggestion. When her Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill to conceal its body and aura, it would continuously expend its spiritual energy. Furthermore, it would also expend some of its physical strength to move quickly through the bushes. Therefore, it was much easier for the Metal-feathered Eagle, which maintained its flying height by merely pping its wings a few times, than the Leaf-eared Cat. If she and the Leaf-eared Cat continued waiting for the Metal-feathered Eagle to reveal its weakness like now, eventually, it would be the Leaf-eared Cat whose spiritual energy was exhausted first. ¡°Initially, I thought that my Leaf-eared Cat should be the hunter hiding in the dark, waiting with ease for the exhausted enemy. However, the situation has reversed.¡± The Metal-feathered Eagle, which is flying at a high speed in the air, has only expended a little of its strength. In order to hide its figure and distract the Metal-feathered Eagle, my Leaf Cat has clearly expended more spiritual energy and physical strength than it. However, although Giles is like a gym leader, pointing out the inadequacy of the tacticalyout for a challenger like me during the battle, Giles and I are currently undergoing an ability evaluation. Under these circumstances, it might be because the Metal-feathered Eagle can¡¯t actually spot the Leaf-eared Cat, that¡¯s why Giles suddenly said these words to me to influence my judgment. As for whether it is true or not, we¡¯ll only know after we give it a try. At the thought of this, Annie¡¯s gaze became determined. She raised her head again and looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky. Through spiritualmunication, Annie sent amand to the Leaf-eared Cat hiding in the bushes. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, elerate at full speed from now on and shuttle back and forth between the bushes!¡± ¡°Once I notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s gaze isn¡¯t following your movements, I¡¯ll seize that opportunity and let you shoot it down from the sky with your skill ¡®Green Leaf Flying Dagger¡¯.¡± Chapter 117 - The Metal-Feathered Eagle Gets Dizzy from the Leaf-eared Cats Movements

Chapter 117: The Metal-Feathered Eagle Gets Dizzy from the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s Movements

Swoosh¡­ The sound of leaves rustling could be hearding from the bushes. It was the Leaf-eared Cat responding to Annie¡¯s instructions. At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat, which had begun to elerate, continued to expend its spiritual energy as it activated its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. This caused its pure-white and wless fur to be covered in a green cloak of spiritual energy withplex patterns. At the same time, the Leaf-eared Cat began to move faster through the bushes. The audience sitting in the spectator stands could see the swaying bushes and hear the noisy sound of leaves rustling against each other. However, their eyes could not capture the trajectory of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements. To them, the Leaf-eared Cat, which was shuttling back and forth between the bushes, was like a gust of wind in the arena. The branches shook incessantly from the ¡°wind¡±, and the rustling between the leaves did not stop. However, they could not see the ¡°wind¡± that created these movements. ¡°No wonder Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat hid itselfpletely after entering the bushes. Furthermore, it can move so quickly between the bushes. It¡¯s because of the effect of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯.¡± ¡°Moreover, Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat is actually moving faster and faster! In this battle environment filled with nt-type spiritual energy, it feels like its speed is almost equivalent to an agile spirit beast at Gold-rank five-star !¡± ¡°Speaking ofbat effectiveness rank, don¡¯t forget that the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle! Even if both sides were to fight head on, the Leaf-eared Cat should have a higher chance of winning!¡± ¡°However, Miss Annie still chose the tactic that is most suitable for the Leaf-eared Cat. Moreover, this battle environment can allow the cat to perfectly unleash the advantage brought about by its innate skill!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! As long as the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes can¡¯t keep up with the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements and reveals a w, the Leaf-eared Cat will be able to rely on the battle prowess difference of three ranks between them to determine the oue with one strike!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear what Giles said to Miss Annie just now? If Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat keeps using its innate skill to hide in the bushes, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which will only need to exert a small amount of physical strength to maintain its current flying height, will be able tost until the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s spiritual energy is exhausted.¡± ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because the Metal-feathered Eagle didn¡¯t know where the Leaf Cat was, so Giles deliberately said those words to deceive Miss Annie into making the Leaf-eared Cat start moving. By looking at the instructions Miss Annie is giving the Leaf-eared Cat, you can tell that Miss Annie has been fooled.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. The Leaf-eared Cat is moving much faster than before and hasn¡¯t stopped at all. This is obvious to everyone. Therefore, I think Miss Annie is nning to verify what Giles said through the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s actions.¡± ¡°Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle can really capture the tracks of the Leaf-eared Cat, its attack might not necessarily hit the Leaf-eared Cat due to its fast movements. If the Metal-feathered Eagle is unable to capture the cat¡¯s trajectory, then the moment it reveals a w, the Leaf-eared Cat will be able to win with one strike!¡± ¡°Hmm, it seems like Miss Annie¡¯s tactical arrangement has improved greatly during this period of time. She can also adapt herbat style flexibly ording to the battle situation.¡± ¡°Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle had previously spotted the Leaf-eared Cat, given how fast it is moving now, I think the Metal-feathered Eagle is about to get dizzy from its movements. Now, let¡¯s see when Miss Annie ns to let the Leaf-eared Cat attack.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Annie¡¯s strategy and Giles¡¯ response gave rise to the intense discussion of the spectators. As the umpire for this ability evaluation, Hash nodded in satisfaction at Giles and Annie¡¯s performance. When Giles said those words just now, although his tone was still a little shaky, he already had the demeanor of a Beast-taming Gym Leader. After all, the Gym Leader of the Beast-taming Gym only epts the challenge of a Beast Tamer, not a deathmatch. Therefore, during the battles, the Gym Leader will often point out some ws for the challenger and the spirit beast under theirmand.¡± Some of the more patient Gym Leaders will save all their issues for the end of the match and summarize them with the challenger. At the thought of this, Hash couldn¡¯t help but look in Giles¡¯ direction. Facing the Leaf-eared Cat that was shuttling through the bushes, Giles just frowned slightly, but he still didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of letting the Metal-feathered Eagle take action. Miss Annie made use of the battle environment and the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill to give herself a huge advantage.¡± But Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle didn¡¯t panic under these circumstances. They have always been very clear about their advantages in this battle environment. That is, the ¡®safe distance¡¯ and ¡®reaction time¡¯ from flying high enough! Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle doesn¡¯t know the location of the Leaf-eared Cat, as long as it maintains its current flying height, it will have enough distance and reaction time when the cat attacks. Therefore, as Giles has analyzed just now, although the Metal-feathered Eagle, who I¡¯m not sure can see the traces of the Leaf-eared Cat, seems to be the party in trouble, the ones who should be anxious are actually Miss Annie and her cat. When Hash¡¯s gaze moved from Giles to Annie, she realized that Annie looked more relieved than before. However, in the face of Giles¡¯ response and what he had just said, Miss Annie didn¡¯t rigidly let the Leaf-eared Cat continue using the previous method to distract the Metal-feathered Eagle. From the looks of it, Miss Annie now has the qualifications to be a qualified Beast Tamer. What a qualified Beast Tamer needs to do is not only to n tactics before the battle begins. The battle between spirit beasts is filled with variables, and the Beast Tamer, who is responsible for standing outside the arena and giving instructions, has to adapt to the situation during the battle and adjust the follow-up battle ns in real time. Putting aside their ability to nurture spirit beasts that I have yet to understand, just based on the ability tomand and fight, Miss Annie is already at the level of a Gold-rank Beast Tamer. It¡¯s different from the previous time when she had the Leaf-eared Cat hide in the bushes and wait for an opportunity to strike. Even if it suddenly made a move, it was to create a sound to distract attention. Miss Annie is now letting the Leaf-eared Cat expend its spiritual energy and physical strength continuously to maintain its current high-speed movement. This is so that she can take the initiative to create opportunities and pursue victory in one blow. In that case, Giles, how do you n on letting the Metal-feathered Eagle deal with the attack that the Leaf-eared Cat mightunch at any moment? The ¡®Wind Wings¡¯ skill, which can cause a gale in the entire arena, can¡¯t be used in such an environment. Hash, who had been standing for a long time, took the opportunity to stretch herself. She raised her head and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle flying above the arena. She then saw the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been staring at the venue, shaking its head slightly as the Leaf-eared Cat moved. Perhaps it was because it felt dizzy from the high-speed movements of the Leaf-eared Cat, or perhaps it was because of something else. Within a few seconds, the Metal-feathered Eagle stopped shaking its head. However, as an Elite Beast Tamer, Hash carefully noticed that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes did not stop moving. After discovering this, Hash could not help but smile and she looked curious. Oh? Giles¡¯ metal-feathered eagle can actually track the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat? That¡¯s going to be interesting! Chapter 118 - Giles, Who Is Good at Thinking from Another Perspective

Chapter 118: Giles, Who Is Good at Thinking from Another Perspective

Just as the umpire, Hash, had observed earlier, at that moment, Giles was frowning slightly as he looked at the Leaf-eared Cat, which was rapidly shuttling through the bushes. However, he still did not let the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been hovering above the arena, do anything. In actuality, when Giles realized that Annie had gotten the Leaf-eared Cat to begin its continuous eleration through the bushes, he had subconsciously thought that Annie was finally going to let the Leaf-eared Cat attack the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, to Giles¡¯ surprise, the Leaf-eared Cat, which was shuttling through the bushes, simply waited for an opportunity. Furthermore, the spiritual energy and physical strength consumed by employing this method was much greater than before. Hence, Giles¡¯ brows knitted together in displeasure. Actually, Giles didn¡¯t even realize it himself. Ever since the start of this ability evaluation, he, who had returned to the battlefield after many days, had already subconsciously ced himself in the position of Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Hence, in Giles¡¯ opinion, as the challenger, Annie did not seem to regard the evaluation as a challenge even though she had said at the start that she and the Leaf-eared Cat would give it their all. This was because the suggestion Giles had given Annie was a reminder and guidance from him, the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, to the challenger. In his suggestion, he had clearly reminded Annie that his Metal-feathered Eagle only needed to exert a little of its physical strength to maintain a rtively safe flight height. Therefore, in the uing battle, it was best not to let the Leaf-eared Cat use its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. This was because it would only unnecessarily waste the spiritual energy of the Leaf-eared Cat. However, Annie clearly did not listen to his suggestion. Or rather, Annie might not have understood his reminder. Right now, not only did she let the Leaf-eared Cat expend its spiritual energy continuously by activating its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, but she had also made the Leaf-eared Cat elerate and shuttle back and forth between the bushes. She was trying to use this method that wasted spiritual energy and physical strength in exchange for the possibility of the Metal-feathered Eagle revealing its ws. However, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was flying above the arena, had actually spotted the whereabouts of the Leaf-eared Cat. Giles, who had ced himself in the position of the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, could not possibly tell Annie directly that ¡°My Metal-feathered Eagle can actually spot the Leaf-eared Cat moving through the bushes.¡± This was because the Beast-taming Gym Leader¡¯s guidance to the challenger during battle might affect the final oue of the battle. Therefore, the Beast Tamer Association had explicitly stipted rules in the management of the Beast-taming Gym and Gym Leader. When the Beast-taming Gym Leader fought the challenger, he could not directly reveal the abilities of his spirit beast in his guidance to the challenger. At most, they could only advise the challenger to give up on their current tactics by making suggestions. The reason the Beast Tamer Association had imposed such a restriction to the Beast-taming Gym Leader during battle was also to allow the challenger to learn how to improvise on the spot during the battle. Through this method, they would grow rapidly in battle. If the Beast-taming Gym Leader was allowed to remind the challenger directly, there would be no such learning effect. Looking at the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes and gradually increasing its speed to its limit, Giles, who was frowning slightly, sighed helplessly to himself. Hah, why waste your spiritual energy and physical strength on these useless tasks? I¡¯ve already reminded you not to let the Leaf-eared Cat activate its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. Furthermore, some of the spectators have also brought up that thebat effectiveness rank of the Leaf-eared Cat is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Annie can totally let the Leaf-eared Cat use its advantage of a higherbat effectiveness rank and directly attack the Metal-feathered Eagle that is hovering in the air. It can force the Metal-feathered Eagle to give up its midairbat advantage. The only way is to forcefully drag the Metal-feathered Eagle onto the ground where the Leaf-eared Cat is best at fighting. In this way, the Leaf-eared Cat wins in the fastest way whilst consuming the least amount of spiritual energy and physical strength! After Giles was adopted by the previous gym leader of Starlux Gym, he grew up in Starlux Gym. Although he had never contracted a spirit beast over the past twenty years, Giles, who had grown up watching the battles between Beast Tamers and Starlux Gym, had already watched more than ten thousand matches. Furthermore, as he had never contracted with a spirit beast, he often simted spirit beast battles in his mind. For example, how spirit beasts should fight in different environments. Especially during the nights after watching Beast Tamers challenge Starlux Gym, Giles would even dream that he was the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym who had epted a challenge from a Beast Tamer. After he won as the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym, he would change his identity and be the Beast Tamer who challenged Starlux Gym. Aftermanding his spirit beast to challenge Starlux Gym countless times, he would eventually win. Unfortunately, whenever he was about to ept the badge from Starlux Gym, he would be woken up by his Sister, Alice, whom he had grown up with. However, this habit of simting spirit-beast battles in his mind also allowed Giles to learn to think about how to fight from his opponent¡¯s perspective. In Giles¡¯ opinion, in order to defeat him quickly, his opponent would definitely search for his shorings and weaknesses during the battle. In that case, as long as he could make up for his own shorings, or use his shorings to his advantage, he could obtain victory! Therefore, the suggestion that Giles had made to Annie was also him thinking from Annie¡¯s perspective about how to let the Leaf-eared Cat win the Metal-feathered Eagle more quickly. However, after sighing inwardly, Giles changed his mind. He felt that Annie¡¯s decision was also reasonable. Due to the fact that most of their skills involved tree branches and leaves, the attacks of nt-type spirit beasts were not that strong. Furthermore, his Metal-feathered Eagle was a metal-type spirit beast that could restrain nt-type spirit beasts. If the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had activated its innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯, had the samebat effectiveness rank as the Leaf-eared Cat, in that case, the attacksunched by the Leaf-eared Cat using its nt-type skill would not be able to deal any effective damage to the Metal-feathered Eagle. Annie had made her current decision because her attributes were limited. Clearly, Annie knew very well that her Leaf-eared Cat had an advantage over the Metal-feathered Eagle in terms ofbat effectiveness rank. Hence, she had been waiting for the Metal-feathered Eagle to make a mistake, nning to let the Leaf-eared Cat seize the opportunity to win with one strike. However, what she did not know was that in this current situation, the fastest way to win whilst consuming the least amount of spiritual energy, was not to rely on winning with just one strike. Instead it should be a drawn-out battle that seemed to consume more energy and was even slower but with more proactive attacks. This was the only way to force his Metal-feathered Eagle to give up its advantage of midairbat. Furthermore, his Metal-feathered Eagle could also observe the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat in the air. At this rate, before the Metal-feathered Eagle showed any ws, the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s spiritual energy and physical strength would be exhausted. At the thought of this, Giles shifted his gaze from the bushes on the ground to Annie, who was standing across from him. Unexpectedly, he could sense a tinge of happiness from Annie¡¯s expression and gaze. Hmm? Did I miss out on something when I was thinking from another perspective? Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Just as Giles was feeling puzzled about this, four dark green spiritual energies in the shape of leaves flew out from the bushes towards the Metal-feathered Eagle that was flying above the arena like flying daggers! Furthermore, the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers did not fly out from the same bush. Instead, they flew out from the bushes in all four directions in about a second. The four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that the Leaf-eared Cat threw were extremely fast. By the time Giles noticed them, the distance between the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and the Metal-feathered Eagle was less than a meter. At that moment, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been flying at a high altitude in the air, seemed to have gotten dizzy from the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat. In the face of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers, it did nothing. However, if anyone paid attention, they would notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s gaze was unusually calm. After two weeks of target training, the Metal-feathered Eagle swiftly captured the different trajectories of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers in less than a second. Giles¡¯mand rang out in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s mind, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, spread open your wings! Fire your ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to shoot down the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers!¡± Chapter 119 - What Was That Flash of Golden Light?

Chapter 119: What Was That sh of Golden Light?

Since ¡®hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to strike and win in one blow¡¯ won¡¯t work, in that case, I¡¯ll let the Leaf-eared Cat unleash its speed advantage in this battle environment. I¡¯ll let it move between the bushes and take the initiative to create the opportunity to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s movements! With this thought in mind, Annie began to activate the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯ and continuously increased its speed. With a determined gaze, she stared fixedly at the Metal-feathered Eagle that was flying at a high altitude. As long as the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes could not keep up with the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat, it would reveal an opening. At that time, Annie, who was the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s other pair of eyes, would seize this opportunity to order the Leaf-eared Cat to attack. She got the Leaf-eared Cat to use its fastest and longest distance ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ on the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air. Furthermore, the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ was also a skill that required the least amount of spiritual energy for the Leaf-eared Cat. If not for the fact that the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat strength was three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, even the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ would probably not be able to cause any effective damage to the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was a metal-type spirit beast. However, it was also because the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯sbat effectiveness rank was lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat that Annie had the Leaf-eared Cat use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ to hinder the Metal-feathered Eagle. Even if the Metal-feathered Eagle could dodge or withstand the attacks of the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, which was a skill other than the innate skill ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯ that consumed the least amount of spiritual energy for the Leaf-eared Cat, as long as the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ could cause effective damage to the Metal-feathered Eagle, Annie could have the Leaf-eared Cat use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle by forcing the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ and leaving it with no choice but to reduce its flying height. This way, the Leaf-eared Cat could use the tall and dense trees as its springboard and get close to the Metal-feathered Eagle to win with one strike! Annie did not have to wait long for this opportunity. When the Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill and started to elerate, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s reaction was the same as before. It looked like its attention was not affected at all. Furthermore, when it kept shaking its head, the direction in which its head was facing could always follow the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat. This means that Giles wasn¡¯t lying to me. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes could indeed track the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± However, as the Leaf-eared Cat moved faster and faster, the extent of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s head shaking became smaller and smaller. Until now. The Metal-feathered Eagle has stopped shaking its head. This means that its eyes can no longer keep up with the elerating Leaf-eared Cat! At the thought of this, Annie quickly made a decision. At the same time, she subconsciously nced at Giles, who was standing opposite her. Giles was frowning slightly as he looked at the greenery in the arena. It was as if he was searching for the figure of the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes. However, it seemed like he still had no intention of letting the Metal-feathered Eagle take action. At that moment, even the spectators in the spectator stand had noticed this. ¡°The Metal-feathered Eagle is already giddy from the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat!¡± Thus, Annie seized this rare opportunity. Using her spiritual connection, she ordered the Leaf-eared Cat to attack. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, now¡¯s the time! The Metal-feathered Eagle is giddy because of you!¡± ¡°While you are maintaining your high-speed movement, continuously throw Green Leaf Flying Daggers at the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°Seal off the possibility of the Metal-feathered Eagle dodging the Green Leaf Flying Daggers from all directions!¡± ¡°As long as we can sessfully force the Metal-feathered Eagle to reduce its flying height to the height of a tree trunk, ¡°Immediately activate ¡®Wood Spear Thrust¡¯ to form a cage and trap it in this tall forest!¡± After hearing Annie¡¯smand to attack, the Leaf-eared Cat, which was shuttling through the bushes, did not slow down. However, at that moment, if anyone were to stare intently at therge patch of bushes in the arena, they would be surprised to see two rapidly moving ¡°leaves¡± in the bushes. The two ¡°leaves¡± were even emitting a dark green glow that was far darker than the other leaves around them. This was the sign that the Leaf-eared Cat was about to use its¡¯ Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ skill. Every time the Leaf-eared Cat ran to the spot Annie pointed out, it would gently shake its head at the Metal-feathered Eagle. Its two cat ears that were glowing with the patterns of dark green leaves would emit a dark green spiritual energy in the shape of a leaf as its head shook. Just like that, within a second or so, the Leaf-eared Cat increased its speed to its limit. Following Annie¡¯smand, it threw Green Leaf Flying Daggers at the Metal-feathered Eagle from all four directions, doing its best to prevent the Metal-feathered Eagle from dodging the Green Leaf Flying Daggers! At that moment, the spectators were discussing fervently whether the Metal-feathered Eagle could see the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes, as well as when Miss Annie was going to let the Leaf-eared Cat attack. That was until a portion of the spectators did not participate in the discussion and instead stared at the battlefield and eximed, ¡°Hey! Guys! Look! Miss Annie finally let her Leaf-eared Cat attack the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°Hmm? It wasn¡¯t easy for Miss Annie to wait for such an opportunity. Why did she make the Leaf-eared Cat use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ skill that isn¡¯t very lethal?¡± ¡°Therefore, this is the advantage of having a highbat effectiveness rank! Even if a nt-type skill is countered by a metal-type skill, as long as the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, then even if the Green Leaf Flying Dagger is its skill with the lowest lethality, it can still cause effective damage to the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°Most importantly,pared to other nt-type skills, the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Dagger¡¯ is not only fast and long-range, but it also consumes little spiritual energy.¡± ¡°From the looks of it, if the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ can really cause effective damage to the Metal-feathered Eagle, then just the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ skill alone will be enough topletely suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s subsequent actions!¡± ¡°The four Green Leaf Flying Daggers are now less than a meter away from the Metal-feathered Eagle! But why does the Metal-feathered Eagle that is hovering above the arena look like it has yet to react?¡± ¡°Is Giles that confident in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s defense? If all four ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ strike it, the Metal-feathered Eagle will fall from the sky even if it doesn¡¯t lose its ability to fight, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Unlike the intense reaction of the spectators behind her, the umpire, Hash, was much calmer. While she was watching the Metal-feathered Eagle, she also noticed the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were flying towards the Metal-feathered Eagle. As an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Hash¡¯s vision and spiritual perception were far superior to the spectators behind her. Therefore, she could clearly capture the trajectories of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers. If the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes can really capture the extremely fast trajectory of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements, it will definitely be able to see the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that are flying towards it! Based on the trajectory of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Metal-feathered Eagle only needs to tilt to its right and p its wings to safely dodge it. Hash was thinking about how the Metal-feathered Eagle could dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers quickly and safely, when the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s next action made this Elite Beast Tamer subconsciously exim,?What?! The Metal-feathered Eagle had not taken any action previously and merely pped its wings slowly to maintain its flying height. Faced with the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were about to strike it, the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly closed its wings. Just as everyone thought that it was going to use its hard wings to withstand the blow from the Leaf-eared Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly spread open its wings. Four streaks of dazzling golden spiritual energy flew out from the wings of the Metal-feathered Eagle. Then, it urately and quickly hit the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were flying towards it from four directions. After the four leaf-shaped dark green spiritual energy paused momentarily in the air¡­ Under everyone¡¯s astonished gaze, they suddenly split into two. Then, like dried leaves falling after autumn, they gradually shattered and dissipated. At that moment, in the evaluation section, everyone except Giles had a question in their minds. What was that sh of golden light just now? Chapter 120 - The Metal-Winged Eagle Can Actually Shoot Out Its Feathers!

Chapter 120: The Metal-Winged Eagle Can Actually Shoot Out Its Feathers!

After the four dazzling golden rays split the Green Leaf Flying Daggers into two in the air, they swiftly vanished into the bushes in the arena andpletely disappeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. Only the few dried leaves in the air that looked like they were falling after autumn and the gradually dissipating dark green spiritual energy could prove that the four dazzling golden rays had once shed across this arena. The spectators looked at the greenery-filled arena and subconsciously rubbed their eyes. After trying to find the location of the golden rays in the arena but to no avail, the spectators looked at each other. When they looked at each other, they saw surprise and confusion in each other¡¯s eyes. ¡°Uh, were my eyes ying tricks on me just now? Or was the sunlight too dazzling after the roof of the evaluation section was opened? Why did I see a dazzling golden light sh past?¡± ¡°I saw it too! But it wasn¡¯t because the sunlight was too dazzling. It was because the Metal-feathered Eagle activated its skill! It was those four golden rays that struck the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out!¡± ¡°It was really dangerous just now! When the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its wings, I thought that it was toote for it to dodge and that it was nning on using its hard metal wings to forcefully withstand the attacks of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers.¡± ¡°However, the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its wings just now to activate its skill. That¡¯s why it pped them abruptly.¡± ¡°Those four dazzling golden rays seemed to have flown out from the wings of the Metal-feathered Eagle the moment it spread open its wings.¡± ¡°But thebat effectiveness rank of the Metal-feathered Eagle is three ranks lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat. Since the four golden rays it released could break apart the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, that means that the golden rays should be a metal-type skill that counters nt-type skills!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At that moment, Hash, who was the umpire, also widened her eyes slightly. A rare look of astonishment appeared on her face. This was because she was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer with the highestbat effectiveness rank among everyone present. Therefore, her eyesight and spiritual perception were also the strongest. Just now, her eyes had clearly captured the trajectories of the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Just as she was thinking about how Giles would get the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had closed its wings, suddenly pped them open. The moment the Metal-feathered Eagle spread open its wings, Hash, who had been staring at the metal-feathered eagle, clearly saw four golden feathers flying out from between its wings. Those four dazzling golden rays are not metal-type skills formed from metal-type spiritual energy. Under the cover of the metal-type spiritual energy, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s sharp, de-like golden metal feathers have increased their lethality by several times. The final oue of a skill collision between spirit beasts essentially conforms to threews. That is, skills that consumerge amounts of spiritual energy willpletely suppress skills that consume small amounts of spiritual energy. Skills that use concentrated spiritual energy willpletely suppress skills that use dispersed spiritual energy. Skills that have spiritual energy attached to physical things willpletely suppress skills that are made of spiritual energy. In the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s case, the skill that attaches metal-type spiritual energy to its metal feathers and fires it,pletely matches the thirdw. Furthermore, metal-type skills are supposed to suppress nt-type skills. Therefore, when the four dazzling golden metal feathers collided with the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, they easily cut the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, which waspletely made of nt-type spiritual energy, in half. At the thought of this, the surprised Hash suddenly felt that this ability evaluation had be interesting. I got Giles to undergo this ability evaluation purely to go through the process and leave behind a recording of the battle. As for whether Giles wins or loses in this ability evaluation, I actually don¡¯t care. As long as Giles doesn¡¯t lose too miserably, I will have a way to make Giles the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. But I didn¡¯t expect Giles and his Metal-feathered Eagle to give me such a huge surprise! Both are new species of spirit beasts that were discovered recently. Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat has a newly discovered innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, while the metal-type skill that Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle used to shoot its feathers is also a new skill that I¡¯ve never seen before. Most importantly, since the Metal-feathered Eagle is able to calmly shoot its feathers at the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, it means that it has been able to track the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat! I didn¡¯t expect Giles to specially train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyesight! In that case, this metal-type skill thatunches feathers should be the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s main long-range attack skill. In that case, it seems that Miss Annie¡¯s strategy of using the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, which consumes the least spiritual energy, to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s flying height, won¡¯t work. In fact, Annie and the audience, including Hash, had no idea. As it was in the air above the arena, the Metal-feathered Eagle only needed to move its eyes slightly to spot the tracks of the Leaf-eared Cat. Previously, the Metal-feathered Eagle had shaken its head slightly as it tracked the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat because it wanted to stare at the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s location after it stopped. However, as the cat began to elerate, it had no intention of stopping. Therefore, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which could capture the trajectory of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements, decided not to shake its head anymore. Except that neither the Metal-feathered Eagle nor Giles had expected that Annie and the audience had actually mistakenly thought that the Metal-feathered Eagle had gotten dizzy from the high-speed movements of the Leaf-eared Cat. Moreover, Annie had mistakenly treated this situation as a rare opportunity and got the Leaf-eared Cat, which was shuttling through the bushes, to unleash its ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ on the Metal-feathered Eagle. Just as Hash had thought, the Metal-feathered Eagle could dodge to its right and p its wings to safely dodge the attacks. However, even though Giles had also considered this, he did not get the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge the attacks. Instead, he got the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ directly at the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were flying towards it. This was because Giles hadpletely ced himself in the position of the Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. As the Gym Leader of the Beast-taming Gym, when facing the challenges of Beast Tamers, what he had to do was to continuously pose new challenges to the challenger during the battle. In the process of Beast Tamers challenging Beast-taming Gyms, the Gym Leader of Beast-taming Gyms was actually not the challenger¡¯s opponent. The role that the Gym Leader yed after epting the challenge was more like that of an examiner. The examiner named ¡°Gym Leader¡± was going to continuously give new questions to the examinees named ¡°Challenger¡± in this test. Just now, as a ¡°candidate¡±, Annie had already given her answer to the question of ¡°How to get the Leaf-eared Cat to forcefully reduce the flying height of the Metal-feathered Eagle?¡± Based on the decision Annie made after hearing his suggestion, Giles quickly performed an analysis in his mind. If he chose to let the Metal-feathered Eagle avoid the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, Annie would definitely not change her mind. Instead, she would continue to let the Leaf-eared Cat waste its spiritual energy and use the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s movements, thereby forcing it to fly at a lower height. Therefore, as the examiner, Giles now posed Annie a new question. That was, ¡°How does a Leaf-eared Cat deal with a Metal-feathered Eagle that also has a long-range attack skill?¡± Chapter 121 - Preparing for a Head-on Battle

Chapter 121: Preparing for a Head-on Battle

The four dazzling golden rays that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out when it spread its wings were not only extremely fast, but also very powerful. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks lower than that of my Leaf-eared Cat. Under these circumstances, the golden rays it emits can actually easily cut through the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat unleashed. Seeing the two halves of the leaf-shaped dark green spiritual energy gradually dissipating in the air, Annie, who was standing on the side of the battlefield, raised her head slightly to observe the Metal-feathered Eagle and made her judgment. In that case, the four dazzling golden rays emitted by the Metal-feathered Eagle should be a metal-type skill that counters nt-type skills. Compared to Hash, who was an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Annie¡¯s spiritual perception was much weaker. Thus, although Annie¡¯s gaze had been focused on the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air after shemanded the Leaf-eared Cat to attack, the Metal-feathered Eagle sudden closing and opening of its wings was too unusual and the four dazzling golden rays of light had suddenly flew out very quickly from between its wings, so Annie did not notice that the four dazzling golden rays were actually wrapped around the metal feathers from the wings of the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, based on her spiritual perception and the feedback from the Leaf-eared Cat that was in the arena, Annie came to the conclusion that the golden rays that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out from between its wings was a metal-type skill that she had never seen before. Furthermore, when the Metal-feathered Eagle faced the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were flying towards it from four different directions, its calm and collected reaction made Annie realize something else. When the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers were nearest to the Metal-feathered Eagle, they were less than a meter away. However, the reason the Metal-feathered Eagle had not taken action immediately was not because it was giddy due to the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements. The Metal-feathered Eagle had just shot out four dazzling golden rays of light and urately struck the four Green Leaf Flying Daggers that were flying in from four directions. This means that its eyes can actually detect the trajectory of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers. The reason why the Metal-feathered Eagle did not take action immediately might be because it was preparing to unleash its metal-type skill, or it might be because it was trying to capture the trajectory of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s actions. That¡¯s not right! Even if the cat¡¯s speed is raised to its limit, it still isn¡¯t as fast as the Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Since the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyes can detect the trajectory of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, it must also be able to see the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements! After Annie realized this, she suddenly recalled the scene of Giles¡¯ brows knitting together as he watched the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes. At that moment, Annie immediately understood why Giles had frowned slightly. So what Giles said before wasn¡¯t a lie. Gilespletely treated this ability evaluation as an official gym challenge. What he said to me previously was also a suggestion from the capacity of a ¡®Gym Leader¡¯. And the reason Giles was frowning at that time was because of the Leaf-eared Cat that kept darting through the bushes. It was not because the Metal-feathered Eagle couldn¡¯t spot the Leaf-eared Cat after its speed gradually increased. On the contrary, it was because the Metal-feathered Eagle had always been able to track the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat that he frowned. Because as a challenger of the gym, I didn¡¯t realize from his suggestion that the Metal-feathered Eagle could capture the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat. Furthermore, I continued to let the Leaf-eared Cat waste its spiritual energy to activate its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, to conceal itself. I even tried to create opportunities by increasing its speed and exhausting its physical strength. At the thought of this, Annie subconsciously looked at Giles, who was standing opposite her. Annie felt her face heat up at the sight of Giles¡¯ nonchnt expression. Before this ability evaluation began, I even made a promise to Giles that I and the Leaf-eared Cat would definitely do our best in the battle.¡± But after the ability evaluation began, I forgot my identity as a challenger andpletely didn¡¯t have the correct attitude. Just as Her Excellency Hash said before the battle began, the evaluation for Giles¡¯ ability is actually to evaluate whether Giles has the ability to be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. Therefore, the entire battle process is actually the same as when I challenged Starlux Gymst month. But just now, I didn¡¯t regard Giles as the Gym Leader at all. Moreover, I thought that Giles was lying to me when he said those words. That ispletely disrespectful to this ability evaluation and also disrespectful to Giles, who is working hard to prove that he can be the Acting Gym Leader of Starlux Gym. This might even affect Giles¡¯ final evaluation after the ability evaluation. Annie, who felt extremely sorry and ashamed of what had just happened, felt her face burning up. As the challenger, she didn¡¯t even dare to look in Giles and Hash¡¯s direction. However, when she subconsciously looked towards the arena, she suddenly noticed the Leaf-eared Cat that was still hiding in the bushes. At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat and Annie looked at each other. Annie could sense the concern in its eyes. ¡°No way! I have to treat this ability evaluation as a gym challenge!¡± Annie snapped out of it and realized that the evaluation of Giles¡¯ abilities was still ongoing. Thus, shemunicated telepathically with the Leaf-eared Cat to tell it not to worry about her. ¡°Since I¡¯ve already made a mistake, I have to change my attitude!¡± ¡°This is the greatest respect I can show towards Giles, Her Excellency Hash, and the audience!¡± Annie took a deep breath and adjusted her condition. At the same time, she began to think about how to let the Leaf-eared Cat, which could not fly, deal with the Metal-feathered Eagle, which also had a long-range attack skill. Although I don¡¯t know if that is the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s skill or something else, based on its previous performance, it can indeed see the Leaf-eared Cat hiding in the bushes even after the activation of its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. Therefore, in the uing battle, it will be a waste of spiritual energy for the Leaf-eared Cat to use its innate skill. Since hiding in the dark and increasing its speed won¡¯t work, in that case, the most direct and effective method is to let the Leaf-eared Cat use its three-rank advantage to fight the Metal-feathered Eagle head on. Chapter 122 - Unleashing the Vine Whip and Starting a Close-Combat Battle

Chapter 122: Unleashing the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ and Starting a Close-Combat Battle

Although my Leaf-eared Cat is a nt-attribute spirit beast, as an agile cat-type spirit beast, it has the ability to actively attack unlike other nt-attribute spirit beasts. If it wants to fight the Metal-feathered Eagle, which has the advantage of airbat, head-on, even if the nt-type attribute of the Leaf-eared Cat can be suppressed by the metal-type attribute of the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat can still rely on itsbat effectiveness rank, which is three ranks higher, to gain an advantage. It has a higher chance of winning than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Annie made the decision in her mind that she would let the Leaf-eared Cat and the Metal-feathered Eagle fight head-on. She quickly focused on the strategic goal of ¡®head-onbat¡¯ and came up with a strategy. Since Giles got the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot out that thing that emitted a golden glow that could split the Green Leaf Flying Daggers in half, it means that the Green Leaf Flying Daggers are still a threat to the Metal-feathered Eagle. Otherwise, the Metal-feathered Eagle, who is able to see the trajectory of the Leaf-eared Cat and the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, could have chosen to avoid them directly or use its hard wings to block them. But among all the skills of the Leaf-eared Cat, the Green Leaf Flying Dagger is the skill that consumes the least amount of energy with the longest range and the fastest speed. Its power is also the lowest.¡± So in the uing head-on battle, I can continue to let the Leaf-eared Cat use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ to harass the Metal-feathered Eagle. As for the Metal-feathered Eagle, there are only two ways to deal with it. Continue to fire the golden rays at the Green Leaf Flying Daggers or change its flying direction to dodge. However, no matter which one it chooses, it will reduce the frequency of its pping. This way, it will not be able to continue to fly at a safe height. During this process, my Leaf-eared Cat can not only use ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to wrap around the tree branches to swing itself so as to get closer to the Metal-feathered Eagle that is flying in the air, but after closing the distance, it can also use ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to whip or entangle the Metal-feathered Eagle. As long as we can use these means to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to lower its flying height it to the crown of the trees in the forest,?within this height of three meters, I can get the Leaf-eared Cat to activate its ¡®Wood Spear Thrust¡¯ to quickly form a cage and imprison the Metal-feathered Eagle in this forest topletely limit its flying height. Even if Giles has a way to deal with it, or if the Metal-feathered Eagle has a skill that can break out of its cage, my Leaf-eared Cat also has the ability to end the battle swiftly after the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s flying height is reduced. At the thought of this, Annie, who had quickly determined the strategy in her mind, made a decision. Then, she began tomunicate using her spiritual power tomand the Leaf-eared Cat, who was hiding in the bushes. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, stop activating your innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯.¡± ¡°Also, in the uing battle, as long as I don¡¯t give themand, you don¡¯t have to use your innate skill.¡± ¡°I need you to climb up those tall trees and reduce the distance between yourself and the Metal-feathered Eagle as much as possible.¡± ¡°When you leap between the branches, continue to harass and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle with your Green Leaf Flying Daggers.¡± ¡°While you are harassing and suppressing it, I will also find a suitable opportunity andmand you to use your ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to whip or entangle the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°As long as you can sessfully reduce the flying height of the Metal-feathered Eagle to below the crown of the tree, you can activate ¡®Wood Spear Thrust¡¯ to form a cage to trap it.¡± After giving the instructions to the cat, Annie looked at the green bushes and saw a figure with pure white fur. Annie suddenly recalled the unknown metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle had used to shoot out golden rays. With a serious expression on her face, she reminded the Leaf-eared Cat to be careful of this metal-type skill. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, you saw the Metal Feather Eagle¡¯s metal-type skill that emitted a golden glow.¡± ¡°Not only is the speed of that metal-type skill simr to your ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, but its power also has a special effect on nt-type skills. Furthermore, we still don¡¯t know if that metal-type skill will have any special effects after it hits the target.¡± ¡°Therefore, when you are fighting head-on with the Metal-feathered Eagle, you have to pay attention to dodging the metal-type skill shot out by the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Even if forcefully dodging might break your attack rhythm, don¡¯t hesitate at all.¡± ¡°Since ending the battle quickly won¡¯t work, we have to prepare for a prolonged battle.¡± ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, yourbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, your nt-type attributes are also good at healing. Even in a prolonged battle, we have a huge advantage.¡± In the arena, the Leaf-eared Cat, whose back was facing Annie, listened to Annie¡¯s final instructions. It turned its head slightly, revealing its side profile. It narrowed its eyes at Annie to indicate that it would pay attention. The next moment, a familiar and dazzling golden ray flew towards the Leaf-eared Cat! As Annie had just witnessed the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s long-range attack skill, therefore, she had been focusing on the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air. Right now, Annie saw the Metal-feathered Eagle pping its wings again. It also shot out a golden ray of light at the Leaf-eared Cat, whose location was exposed. Annie, who was panicking, eximed, ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, be careful!¡± As an agile cat-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s reaction was also very fast. Even if the golden ray shot by the Metal-feathered Eagle came from its blind spot, the Leaf-eared Cat quickly determined the direction of the golden ray by using its sharp hearing. Its two ears with emerald-green tree leaf patterns twitched slightly. Its hind legs, which were slightly bent, leapt to the right and easily dodged the golden ray. Furthermore, the Leaf-eared Cat had jumped onto a tree beside it. If they hadn¡¯t seen the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot out that ray of golden light with their own eyes, people might misunderstand that the Leaf-eared Cat had predicted the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s attack or they might have mistakenly thought that the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s intention was to pounce on the tree and that it was merely a coincidence that it dodged the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s attack from its blind spot. Swoosh¡­ As the sound of cat ws scraping against tree bark rang out, it took the Leaf-eared Cat less than a second to climb up the tree. At that moment, it was also the first time it appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes after jumping into this battlefield that was filled with tender greenery. Perched on a tree branch, the Leaf-eared Cat raised its head slightly and looked at its opponent, the Metal-feathered Eagle. They could sense a burning battle intent from each other¡¯s eyes. Only then did Annie notice Giles, who was standing opposite her. Giles had a smile of acknowledgement on his face now, and that was when she realized why. The reason why the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly emitted the golden rays was because Giles was reminding me in this way. Since I chose to stop the Leaf-eared Cat from using its innate skill, I have to be prepared to face the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s attack. ¡°That¡¯s what I want! Leaf-eared Cat, use your ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ and get as close to the Metal-feathered Eagle as possible!¡± Chapter 123 - The Uproar in the Spectator Stands

Chapter 123: The Uproar in the Spectator Stands

Trantor: Henyee TrantionsEditor: Henyee Trantions The four dazzling golden lights that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out from between its wings was a metal-type skill. The spectators were originally discussing and specting about this problem fervently. However, a figure with pure white fur suddenly walked out from the green bushes on the battlefield. The green leaf patterns all over its body gradually began to retreat towards its head. In the end, only its two ears and neck were left with some green-leaf patterns. The audience in the spectator stand also recognized it as Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat that had been hiding in the bushes. ¡°Eh? Why did the Leaf-eared Cat suddenly walk out from the bushes? Furthermore, it didn¡¯t continue to use its innate skill. Wouldn¡¯t doing so expose its location?¡± ¡°Most importantly, everyone already knows that Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle also has a long-range attack skill. Under these circumstances, isn¡¯t it too dangerous for Miss Annie to let the Leaf-eared Cat do this?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! In this battle, if the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s advantage is that its metal attribute can suppress the nt attribute, and that it can totally upy the sky above the arena because it can fly, then the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s advantage is that itsbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Also, this battle environment filled with greenery can allow it to use its innate skill topletely conceal itself.¡± ¡°Here¡¯s the problem. As a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, why would Miss Annie suddenly make the Leaf-eared Cat give up such a huge advantage that is extremely beneficial to it?¡± When this final issue was raised, the entire spectator stand fell into a short silence. It was only when someone in the crowd voiced his thoughts that another intense discussion broke out. ¡°Hey! Guys! I have a bold spection! Just now, we all saw Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle. It shot out four dazzling golden rays of light and sessfully split apart the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that flew towards it from four different directions.¡± ¡°Oh! I get it! So your theory is that Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle can actually detect the trajectory of the Green Leaf Flying Dagger through a certain method?¡± ¡°No, no, no! My good bro, didn¡¯t you realize just now that the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s speed is actually a little slower than the Green Leaf Flying Daggers it uses?¡± ¡°What? So what you¡¯re saying is that the reason Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle stayed in the air above the arena is because it could actually track the Leaf-eared Cat shuttling through the bushes?¡± ¡°Bingo! I still remember the suggestion Giles made to Miss Annie very clearly. From the tone of Giles¡¯ voice at that time, he definitely wasn¡¯t lying to Miss Annie! And the meaning of his words should be that his Metal-feathered Eagle can track the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat!¡± This view immediately caused a considerable uproar in the spectator stand. ¡°What? Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle can really spot the tracks of Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat as it shuttles through the bushes?¡± ¡°Oh! This is too interesting! You must know that when Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat raised its speed to its limit just now, it was not at all inferior to those agile spirit beasts with abat effectiveness rank of Gold rank, five stars!¡± ¡°Furthermore, after the Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯, it could stillpletely hide in the bushes. Under these circumstances, Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle could actually determine the location of the Leaf-eared Cat!¡± ¡°If Giles hadn¡¯t specifically trained the eyesight of the Metal-Feathered Eagle, then Giles¡¯ Metal-Feathered Eagle might have a skill rted to increasing its perceptiot ¡°However, I think Giles should have specially trained the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyesight before this. Don¡¯t forget that Giles was the dark horse who won the championship of our Florida Beast-taming Gym Tournamentst month!¡± ¡°Hey! Buddy, that¡¯s what I think too, but my opinion is slightly different from yours. Since Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle has a skill that can fire metal-type spiritual energy, in order to increase the uracy of this long-range attack skill, he will definitely specially train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s eyesight!¡± ¡°Hmm, your point of view is more reasonable and logical. In that case, this long-range attack skill that fires metal-type spiritual energy should be the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s main mode of attack!¡± ¡°Furthermore, this skill that fires metal-type spiritual energy is entirely effective against nt-type skills. If Miss Annie continues to let the Leaf-eared Cat use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, the Metal-feathered Eagle can choose to dodge or use its golden-ray metal-type skill to sh the Green Leaf Flying Daggers.¡± ¡°In short, Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf Cat can no longer use Green Leaf Flying Daggers to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle because the Green Leaf Flying Daggers are no longer a threat to the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°I think that based on the current situation, the Metal-feathered Eagle is more of a threat to the Leaf-eared Cat. It still has the advantage of being in the air!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what Miss Annie is thinking. She actually made the Leaf-eared Cat stop using its innate skill to hide. Isn¡¯t this just creating a striking target for the Metal-feathered Eagle that is hovering above the arena?¡± ¡°Look! As expected, the Metal-feathered Eagle attacked first! If this golden-ray metal-type skill hits the target, even if there is a three-rank difference in theirbat effectiveness rank, the Leaf-eared Cat, a nt-type spirit beast, will at least suffer minor injuries!¡± Just like the spectators witnessed, after Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat revealed its figure, Gilesmanded his Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot a ¡®Feather Arrow¡¯ at the Leaf-eared Cat in the arena. However, Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat dodged the Feather Arrow with a simple jump. Then, the Leaf-cared Cat pounced onto a tree beside it and swiftly climbed up the tree branch. After climbing up the tree, the Leaf-eared Cat began to jump between the branches in the forest. The green patterns on its neck would glow from time to time. As the emerald green light shone, two vines made of nt-type spiritual energy extended from the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s neck. Using the vines to wrap around the tree branches, the cat swung its body like a swing as it leapt to close the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, while it was leaping and swinging its body, the Leaf-eared Cat did not stop shaking its ears. Its two ears that were emitting a dark green glow continued to throw Green Leaf Flying Daggers at the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air.. Chapter 124 - So It Was the Metal-Feathered Eagles Feather

Chapter 124: So It Was the Metal-Feathered Eagle¡¯s Feather

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Like just now when it seemed as if it had made a prediction, the Leaf-eared Cat dodged the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s attack of the Metal-feathered Eagle in its blind spot. The audience in the spectator stand was surprised by the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s fast reaction and movements. ¡°Did I see wrongly? Didn¡¯t the Leaf-eared Cat turn around to look at Miss Annie? How did it determine the direction of the golden ray?¡± ¡°Moreover, when Miss Annie let out a cry of surprise to remind the cat, the golden ray was less than half a meter away from it!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Almost in the same second that it pounced onto that tree, that golden ray of light pierced into the spot where it was standing previously. Just now, I felt terrified just from watching!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that the Leaf-eared Cat didn¡¯t look in the direction of the golden ray of light, but don¡¯t forget that as a cat-type spirit beast, its hearing is also very sharp.¡± Therefore, the Leaf-eared Cat must have determined the direction of the golden ray based on the sound of air splitting¡± Tf that¡¯s the case, then it won¡¯t even need Miss Annie to remind it. The Leaf-eared Cat can safely avoid the attack in its blind spot.¡± While most of the spectators in the spectator stand had their attention attracted by the Leaf-eared Cat, someone suddenly eximed as if he had discovered something strange. Look at the spot where the Leaf-eared Cat was standing! What¡¯s that shiny patch on the ground? Although the person who shouted subconsciously controlled his volume, the content of his words drew even more attention. Hence, everyone in the spectator stand shifted their gaze from the Leaf-eared Cat to the spot where it was standing just now. A golden object was standing on the small patch of grass where the Leaf-eared Cat had stood just now. Under the sunlight, the golden object reflected a dazzling light Surrounded by green bushes, it appeared especially eye-catching. ¡°Hmm? The metal-type spiritual energy released by Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle can actuallyst for such a long time after leaving its body? Under normal circumstances, the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that the Leaf-eared Cat had created from amassing nt -type spiritual energy would dissipate within a few seconds after leaving its body and return to be the nt-type spiritual energy it had condensed from previously. However, the Vine Whip¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat used was different. As the two vines made of nt-type spiritual energy had not left the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s body, they could remain their vine form under the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s control. However, what the audience in the spectator stand did not expect was that the golden ray of light that the Metal-feathered Eagle had shot out could actually maintain its condensed form for so long after leaving its body. Just as some people were having doubts about this, the spectator who had first eximed, made his own discovery. ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because my spiritual perception is too weak or because I¡¯m too far from the battlefield. I realized that I can¡¯t sense metal-type spiritual energy from that shiny golden object¡± This discovery that the spectator proposed also made the other spectators give it a go. All of them tried to sense the spiritual energy from the shiny golden object, but the end result was.. ¡°Eh? Why can¡¯t I sense any spiritual energy from that object? I¡¯m a Silver-rank four-star Beast Tamer!¡± ¡°Heh, I, a Silver-rank eight-star Beast Tamer, can¡¯t even sense it! How can a silver-rank four-star Beast Tamer like you sense it? ¡°That¡¯s not right! But why can I sense the nt-type spiritual power around the object at the same distance away?¡± The spectators were curious and puzzled as they tried to sense the golden object. Until a spectator with better eyesight squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the object on the ground. When he saw it clearly, he began to persuade the people around him to stop wasting time and energy. ¡°Don¡¯t use your spiritual perception anymore! Didn¡¯t you notice that the golden object is a feather?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like the Green Leaf Flying Dagger that ¡®spletely condensed from spiritual energy. ¡°How can you sense spiritual energy from it after the spiritual energy attached to it has dissipated This shocking discovery might exin why the golden glow on the ground did not dissipate into metal- type spiritual energy. However, it also made the spectators realize another problem. ¡°So the golden ray that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out was actually the metal feathers on its wings? ¡°No wonder its metal-type skill could cut through the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers so easily. Metal-type skills are supposed to suppress nt-type skills. Furthermore, it¡¯s a skill that¡¯spletely condensed from spiritual energy against a physical object with spiritual energy attached to it.¡± ¡°However, if that¡¯s the case, then the current situation is disadvantageous for the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Although the Metal-feathered Eagle can shoot out its metal feathers to cut open the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s Green Leaf Flying Daggers, its Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ arepletely condensed from spiritual energy. ¡°As long as the Leaf-eared Cat still has spiritual energy, it will be able to continuously use the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ to interfere and suppress the movements of the Metal-feathered Eagle!a ¡°That¡¯s right! Every time the Metal-feathered Eagle uses this metal-type skill, it will lose its feathers. Even if it usually has so many feathers till they shedall over the ground, it¡¯s impossible for it to rely on its feathers to fight a prolonged battle against the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s spiritual energy! ¡°Tn that case, I think I can understand why Giles didn¡¯t have the Metal-feathered Eagle initiate the attack at first, but instead got it to maintain its flying height.¡± ¡°After all, in the case of the Metal-feathered Eagle, one bullet shot means one bullet less. That¡¯s why it can¡¯t attack easily. For Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle, it¡¯s best to end the battle quickly¡± The contents of the audience¡¯s discussion in the spectator stand were heard by the umpire, Hash, who was standing at the side of the arena. However, Hash, an Epic-rank Beast Tamer with the title of Elite, had a different view from them. Annie told the Leaf-eared Cat to stop using its innate skill and got it to climb up the tree branches and prance around the forest. This means that she has already realized that the Metal-feathered Eagle can see the tracks of the Leaf-eared Cat That¡¯s why she chose this head-onbat method of using the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to get as close as possible. However, as the ¡®Gym Leader, Giles reminded Annie to fight head-on. This means that he also has a way of fighting head-on! At the thought of this, Hash raised her head slightly and looked at the battlefield above the arena. Using the skill Vine Whip¡¯, which coiled around the tree branches, the Leaf-eared Cat swung its body. At that moment, it was less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle. The Metal-feathered Eagle was pping its wings slightly to maintain its current flying height. There didn¡¯t seem to be any sign of it firing the metal feathers in its wings. However, as an Elite Beast Tamer, Hash¡¯s spiritual perception was much stronger than others. Hash, who had focused her attention on the Metal-feathered Eagle, keenly noticed that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s spiritual energy was not amassing on its wings that could shoot the metal feathers, but on its four limbs! Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Innate Skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯, Strengthened Eagle ws

Hash keenly noticed that the Metal-feathered Eagle had dispersed its spiritual energy into its four limbs. Thus, Hash first shifted her gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s wings to its feet. Under the sunlight, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s muscr and strong ws reflected a metallic luster. Moreover, the metallic luster was not the warm sunlight, but a cold light as sharp as a de! After observing the changes in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s ws, Hash began to look up. Finally, her gaze stopped at the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s thin arms. Althoughpared to the muscr and firm muscles on its ws, the metal-feathered eagle¡¯s arms were extremely thin and weak, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s ws were the same as its feet. Under the sunlight, it weakly reflected a metallic luster, making it appear extremely sharp. Looks like Giles has already gotten the Metal-feathered Eagle to activate some strengthening skill. At the thought of this, Hash began to recall skills rted to metal-type spirit beasts or bird-type spirit beasts. To have a metallic luster under the sunlight, the effect should be able to strengthen certain areas. The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s currentbat effectiveness rank is still not at the Gold rank. Hash kept repeating these words in her mind about the Metal-feathered Eagle. From there, she quickly eliminated a bunch of unrted skills and came to a conclusion. At present, the skill that matches these characteristics the most is the mostmon innate skill of metal-type spirit beasts, ¡®Metalize¡¯.¡± Metal-type innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ can allow the entire body or a specific part of the body to be attached with metal-type spiritual energy to increase its hardness, thereby increasing its attack power and defense. Although the innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ is verymon in metal-type spirit beasts, it is also very useful. Furthermore, the more simple the skill with such an effect, the more it can showcase the Beast Tamer¡¯s ability in training spirit beasts. Giles, I wonder how you¡¯re going to let the Metal-feathered Eagle utilise its advantage of the ¡®Metalize¡¯ innate skill. Standing on the back of the alligator snapping turtle, Hash retracted her gaze from the Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena. Then, she looked at Giles, who was standing on the other side of the arena. Giles was not frowning at the battlefield like before. He smiled as he looked at Annie, who was standing opposite him. His eyes revealed his approval and admiration towards Annie. Alright, looks like the ¡°Gym Leader¡±, Giles, can tell that Miss Annie, the ¡®challenger¡¯, has improved in this battle. Based on Giles¡¯ current performance, as long as he can keep this up, even if he ends up losing to Miss Annie in this ability evaluation, the Beast Tamer Association¡¯s headquarters will make an exception and let him be the ¡®Acting Gym Leader¡¯ of Starlux Gym after watching the recording of his match. With this in mind, Hash turned her gaze to the Leaf-eared Cat, who was using the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to wrap around the tree branches and sway its body. When the Leaf-eared Cat approached the Metal-feathered Eagle, it continued to use its ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ to harass and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had the advantage in the air, did not choose to continue firing its metal feathers to ward off the Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Instead, it pped its wings and changed its flying direction to dodge the attacks of the Leaf-eared Cat. The audience sitting in the spectator stand behind Hash did not notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s four eagle ws were gradually infused with metal-type spiritual energy, like Hash did. After discovering that the golden ray emitted by the Metal-feathered Eagle was actually its metal feather, they unanimously thought that the Metal-feathered Eagle was at a disadvantage again. This was because the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had a limited number of feathers, could not possibly rely on firing its metal feathers to fight a prolonged battle against the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, which consumed spiritual energy. The Metal-feathered Eagle was the one who needed to end the battle quickly. However, as the umpire, Hash knew very well that when the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s innate skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯, was used topletely envelop its four eagle ws with metal-type spiritual energy, it would be the chance for the Metal-feathered Eagle tounch a counterattack! Although the Metal-feathered Eagle can onlyunch a limited number of metal feathers and can¡¯t rely on that to fight a prolonged battle against the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s Greenleaf Flying Daggers, which consume nt-type spiritual energy, after its four sharp eagle ws are all strengthened by the innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯, even if the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not be at a disadvantage when fighting the Leaf-eared Cat head on. Furthermore, if Miss Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat doesn¡¯t have any close-rangebat skills other than nt-type skills, then the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s four eagle ws with metal-type spiritual energy will be a huge threat to the Leaf-eared Cat! Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Giles also had the same thought as Hash. Giles saw that Annie, who was standing opposite him, finally did not let the Leaf-eared Cat waste its spiritual energy by continuing to activate its innate skill, ¡®Cloak of Nature¡¯. Annie had alsomanded the Leaf-eared Cat to use its nt-type skill, ¡®Vine Whip¡¯, to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body so as to close the gap between it and the flying Metal-feathered Eagle, while continuing to use its Green Leaf Flying Daggers to interfere and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle. When he saw this, Giles subconsciously smiled in relief at Annie¡¯s decision to let the Leaf-eared Cat fight head-on. His eyes also revealed his approval and admiration towards Annie. Looks like Annie finally realized what I meant. Giles smiled slightly. Not only pleased with Annie¡¯s improvement, but he was also excited about the uing battle. But even if the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, it is impossible for the Leaf-eared Cat topletely suppress my Metal-feathered Eagle in a head-on battle! At the thought of this, Giles raised his head slightly andmanded the Metal-feathered Eagle, who was flying above the arena, through spiritualmunication, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, in the uing battle, unless I give themand, don¡¯t shoot your ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to split apart the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat throws out. ¡°For now, dodge the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ and activate your innate skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯, to strengthen your four eagle ws.¡± ¡°After your Eagle w is infused with metal-type spiritual energy, it can easily tear apart the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that are flying towards you. When the timees, you can switch from defense to offense!¡± ¡°Since the Leaf-eared Cat wants to fight you head on, bring out the advantage of your innate skill and use your Eagle w to fight it out in the air!¡± Chapter 126

Chapter 126: The Metal-Feathered Eagle Caught the Green Leaf Flying Dagger

Crack! Crack! Crack¡­ In the evaluation section of Starlux Gym, the sound of tree branches cracking due to the pressure could be heard. The person who caused these sounds was a figure with pure white fur. It was Annie¡¯s Leaf-eared Cat that was leaping between the branches. The tattoo on the cat¡¯s neck began to glow with a green glow that represented its nt-type spiritual energy. The green light condensed into two vine-like spiritual energies extending from its neck. The spiritual energy in the shape of the two vines was like an extension of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s body. It relied on these two ¡°vines¡± to skillfully and agilely swing its body through the forest on the battlefield. Furthermore, as it glided through the forest, its two leaf-like ears would twitch. As the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s ears moved, green nt-type spiritual energy in the shape of leaves flung out from its ears. It flew in the direction in which the Leaf-eared Cat was advancing and its target was the Metal-feathered Eagle that was dodging attacks by constantly changing its flying direction. The Leaf-eared Cat continued to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle and used the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to interfere and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s movements. Standing outside the arena, Annie, who was in charge ofmanding it, knew that it was very difficult to turn the situation around in a short period of time. ¡°Oh? What¡¯s that thing that¡¯s so dazzling?¡± Just as Annie was about to think of other solutions to turn the situation around, an object that reflected the sunlight in the battlefield shone into her eyes all of a sudden. Annie subconsciously squinted her eyes. When she saw the object on the ground clearly, she realized what the metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle had used was. I can¡¯t believe this piece of shiny metal on the ground is not a metal-type spiritual energy! It¡¯s¡­ the feather of the Metal-feathered Eagle! I didn¡¯t expect that the golden ray that the Metal-feathered Eagle fired from between its wings was not a skillpletely condensed from metal-type spiritual energy, but a metal-type skill that attached metal-type spiritual energy to its metal feathers! No wonder these golden rays could so easily cut through the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat had thrown out. This is not only because metal-type skills restrain wood-type skills, but also because of the existence of the physical object, the metal feather. After realising this, Annie looked up. Looking at the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air that was dodging the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, Annie quickly thought of a solution. Ever since the Leaf-eared Cat stopped using its innate skill and exposed itself from the bushes, the Metal-feathered Eagle has only fired its metal feather once. From this, it can be seen that there is a limited number of times that the Metal-feathered Eagle can use its skill that attaches metal-type spiritual energy to the metal feather and shoots it out. That¡¯s why Giles didn¡¯t let the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot out its metal feathers to parry the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ again. Instead, the Metal-feathered Eagle dodged the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out. Annie determined that based on the current battle situation, Giles would not let the Metal-feathered Eagle waste its limited number of metal feathers on the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat had flung out. However, Annie had just witnessed the speed and power of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s metal-type skill that could shoot metal feathers. If I¡¯m not wrong, this metal-type skill thatunches metal feathers should be the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s main long-range attack skill. Up till now, Giles has been getting the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat. He hasn¡¯t shown any signs of preparing to fight back. This means that in Giles¡¯ opinion, it¡¯s not yet time to get the Metal-feathered Eagle to use its metal-type skill to fire its metal feathers. If nothing goes wrong, that timing should be when Giles gets the Metal-feathered Eagle to prepare to attack! Therefore, in the face of this metal-type skill that is extremely threatening to the nt-type Leaf-eared Cat, the Leaf-eared Cat and I must be extremely careful and be on guard at all times! At the thought of this, Annie raised her head slightly and saw the Leaf-eared Cat using the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to coil around the tree branches and swing its body. At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat was less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky. Thus, Annie quickly used spiritualmunication to remind the cat ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, when you fight the Metal-feathered Eagle head on, you must pay attention to its wings!¡± ¡°The golden ray that it shot out from between its wings was actually the metal feather on its wings.¡± ¡°After its metal feathers are infused with metal-type spiritual energy, they should be able to cut off your vines.¡± ¡°So, we need to find a chance to tie up the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s wings with your vines.¡± ¡°Or we can use closebat to restrict the Metal-feathered Eagle from pping its wings. That way, it won¡¯t be able to shoot out its metal feathers.¡± The Leaf-eared Cat, which had been swinging around, was less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, as they were preparing for a head-on battle, both sides knew each other¡¯s location very well. When the Metal-feathered Eagle kept changing directions in the air, it was also using the flying skills that Giles had taught it over the past two weeks. Hence, the Metal-feathered Eagle with pretty much no loopholes, did not give the Leaf-eared Cat any chance to tie up its wings with the vines. As the Leaf Cat approached the Metal-feathered Eagle, it did not forget Annie¡¯s reminder. However, the distance between the both of them was already very close. If the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly pped its wings and fired its metal feathers at the Leaf-eared Cat, at that time, if the Leaf-eared Cat wanted to dodge the flying metal feathers, it had to give up on this rare opportunity to close the distance. As the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, Annie was naturally aware of this. Hence, she quickly reacted. ¡°Leaf-eared Cat, now is the time! Use your ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ on the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°You¡¯re so close to it now. It can¡¯t possibly dodge by pping its wings!¡± ¡°As long as it closes its wings and prepares tounch its metal feathers to cut through the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, at that time, seize that opportunity to tie it up with your vines!¡± The Leaf-eared Cat reacted quickly to Annie¡¯s suddenmand. In less than a second, it amassed the nt-type spiritual energy in its body into its ears, which had leaf patterns. The Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s green ears trembled. Two leaves condensed from nt-type spiritual energy flew towards the Metal-feathered Eagle like des. At the same time, when the Leaf-eared Cat approached the Metal-feathered Eagle, it stretched out the two vines on its neck. As long as the Metal-feathered Eagle, which could not avoid the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, chose to close its wings and fire its metal feathers, in that case, what it would face was the restraints of the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯. At that time, the Leaf-eared Cat would be able to sessfully shift the battlefield from the air to the ground. However, an unexpected situation happened! The Metal-feathered Eagle, which was flying in the air, neither chose to dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers nor closed its wings to fire its metal feathers. Under the surprised gazes of Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly raised its w. Its pair of eagle ws that were glimmering with a metallic luster caught the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers that the Leaf-eared Cat had thrown out. With a gentle clench of the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s two eagle ws, the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers shattered into spiritual energy and gradually dissipated. Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Crushing the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and Cutting Off the Vine Whip

Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Giles raised his head slightly and looked towards the sky where his Metal-feathered Eagle was constantly changing its direction to dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat. Giles mentally estimated the number of ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ that the Metal-feathered Eagle could fire next. At the moment, there are probably still about fifty more ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ that the Metal-Feathered Eagle can fire. Just as Annie had spected, there was indeed a limit to the number of ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ that Giles¡¯ Metal-feathered Eagle could fire within a short period of time. ording to Giles¡¯ own evaluation of the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Metal-feathered Eagle could at most fire 52 metal feathers continuously using the skill ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. Once it exceeded this number, the Metal-feathered Eagle would clearly feel the burden on its spiritual energy. However, this evaluation was just the conclusion Giles had reachedst week. The Metal-feathered Eagle had also improved significantly during the past week¡¯s training. Therefore, Giles spected that there were about fifty more metal feathers to be shot as ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. Hmm, the fifty ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ is not a lot, but neither is it a small number. Previously, I had the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to sh the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ mainly to test the power of the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ skill. However, the number of ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ that the Metal-feathered Eagle can shoot is ultimately limited, and the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that the Leaf-eared Cat uses only consumes a small amount of spiritual energy. Therefore, there is no need for it to specially use ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to strike the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯. Besides, letting the Metal-feathered Eagle dodge the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ will only consume some of its strength. The Green Leaf Flying Daggers will consume more spiritual energy and physical strength when the Leaf-eared Cat pursues and attacks the Metal-feathered Eagle. Up till now, the Leaf-eared Cat has consumed more spiritual energy and used up more stamina than the Metal-feathered Eagle. If the Leaf-eared Cat continues to waste its spiritual energy and physical strength like it¡¯s doing now, even if it is a nt-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities, it will not have an advantage in a prolonged battle. As long as the Leaf-eared Cat, which has a higherbat effectiveness rank, shows signs of fatigue first, that will be the time for me to get the Metal-feathered Eagle tounch a counterattack! Giles watched as the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky above the arena continued to use the flying techniques that he had taught it. Every time, the Green Leaf Flying Daggers would narrowly brush past it. Although it looked extremely precarious as the Metal-feathered Eagle dodged the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, if one observed carefully, they would notice that the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s gaze was actually very calm and did not show any signs of panic. This was also why Giles had the Metal-feathered Eagle do this. His motive was very simple. It was to train the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s reaction and movement speed in actualbat, during this battle. Furthermore, with the situation where it almost got hit every time, it would make the Leaf-eared Cat continue to jump between the branches in the forest and use the vines to sway its body to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle so that it could attack the Metal-feathered Eagle. Looks like it was the right choice to continue defending without firing ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. Watching the pursuit in the battlefield, Giles nodded slightly. If the Metal-feathered Eagle shoots ¡®Arrow Feather¡¯ at will, not only will it consume more spiritual energy, but also because the Leaf-eared Cat had nt-type attributes, Annie will definitely not let the Leaf-eared Cat approach the Metal-feathered Eagle that can shoot ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ at will. In this battle, apart from its metal-type attribute that counters the nt-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat Cat, my Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s greatest advantage is that it can fly and fight in the air. Even if the Leaf-eared Cat has a tall and dense forest that can be used as a springboard to get close to the Metal-feathered Eagle, Annie will still have to think of a way to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle into the forest and move the battlefield from the air to the ground. Otherwise, even if the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle, even if it is a nt-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities and continuousbat ability, it will still lose the ability to continue fighting because its stamina and spiritual energy consumption are far greater than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Oh? It¡¯s finally getting close? Although Giles had been thinking about his next strategy in his mind, his gaze had been focused on the battlefield. At that moment, he realized that the Leaf-eared Cat, which was using the vines to swing its body, was less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky. At this rtively close distance, the pattern on the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s ears suddenly glowed green. Then, it threw out two Green Leaf Flying Daggers at the Metal-feathered Eagle. At the same time, after it used the vines to swing its body, it did not use the vines to continue entangling the branches in the forest. Instead, itshed out the two vines, which were made of nt-type spiritual energy, from the pattern on its neck towards the Metal-feathered Eagle. Based on the current situation, the Metal-feathered Eagle no longer had the possibility of dodging the Green Leaf Flying Daggers at this distance. Furthermore, as long as the Metal-feathered Eagle closed its wings and prepared to shoot the Feather Arrows at the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Leaf-eared Cat would be able to restrain the Metal-feathered Eagle with the two vines. Annie¡¯smand and the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s reaction are very fast! Seeing this scene in the battlefield, Giles couldn¡¯t help but praise Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat. Then, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. He was like a fox that had seeded in its scheme. However, the Metal-feathered Eagle and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time! The Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena had also received Giles¡¯mand through spiritualmunication. ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, since you can no longer dodge these two ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯, then raise your two ws that have been strengthened by your innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ and crush them! Then, use your sharp ws to cut off the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat threw over!¡± In the face of the attacks of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and the two vines that followed, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not panic at all after receiving Giles¡¯mand. It calmly raised its ws that had long been enhanced by its innate skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯. At that moment, metal-type spiritual energy hadpletely enveloped its sharp ws. Under the sunlight, the ws that reflected a metallic luster were like unsheathed des that gleamed with a terrifying icy light. Subsequently, the ws that had been enhanced by ¡®Metalize¡¯ also disyed immense destructive power. Clink! nk! The crisp sound of two objects colliding with metal rang out. The Metal-feathered Eagle used its sharp ws to catch the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Furthermore, its body, which had stopped in the air above the arena, did not sway in the slightest under the impact of the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers. After catching the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Metal-feathered Eagle only clenched its ws gently, before the Green Leaf Flying Daggers in its ws shattered into nt-type spiritual energy that gradually dissipated. The two vines that followed targeted the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s pping wings. The Metal-feathered Eagle stretched out its arms towards the two vines. Althoughpared to its feet, its arms were extremely thin and weak. However, after activating its innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯, the eagle ws on its arms were as sharp as its ws. Even though the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s arms did not exert much strength, the two vines were easily sliced apart like the Green Leaf Flying Daggers when they collided with its outstretched eagle ws. At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat, which was using the vines to move its body, was still flying towards the Metal-feathered Eagle. The distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle that was cutting the vines was less than three meters! Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Next Up, the Leaf-eared Cat Can Only Fight a Drawn-out Battle

After opening the dome of the Starlux Gym¡¯s evaluation section, the temperature in the evaluation section continued to rise as the morning sun shone down. In the spectator stands at the side of the battlefield, the spectators responsible for witnessing this ability assessment were also discussing fervently. ¡°Have you all noticed? Miss Annie has clearly also noticed that the Metal-Eyed Eagle¡¯s metal-type skill, which emitted a golden glow, was actually the metal feathers on its wings that were shot out.¡± ¡°I also think that Miss Annie has noticed this. She must have spected that the Metal-feathered Eagle can onlyunch a limited number of metal feathers that¡¯s why she chose to let the Leaf-eared Cat use the vines to swing its body to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle and constantly use the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to harass and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle.¡± ¡°The actual situation is probably that. Otherwise, when facing the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ from the Leaf Cat, the Metal-feathered Eagle could have shot out its metal feathers to split the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ like before, instead of changing its flying direction to dodge the attacks like it¡¯s doing now.¡± ¡°Furthermore, although the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat used was always that close to striking the Metal-feathered Eagle, it had indeed interfered and suppressed the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s flying speed.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Look! The Leaf-eared Cat that¡¯s using the vines to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body is less than five meters away from the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°The Leaf-eared Cat hasunched its attack! At such a close distance, can the Metal-feathered Eagle still avoid it like before?¡± ¡°¡­¡± As thest cry rang out, the eyes of the audience in the spectator stand were all focused on the attacking Leaf-eared Cat. A green glow that represented nt-type spiritual energy appeared on the ears of the Leaf-eared Cat. The next moment, its two ears twitched slightly, and two Green Leaf Flying Daggers flew out from its ears. Their target was the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was less than five meters away from the Leaf-eared Cat. Furthermore, after throwing out the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers, the Leaf-eared Cat alsoshed out its two vines at the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Miss Annie¡¯s judgment right now ispletely correct! She¡¯s asking the Leaf-eared Cat to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot its metal feathers to slice the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. Based on the previous situation, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s metal-type skill that fires its metal feathers is actually very threatening to the nt-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± ¡°However, now that they are so close to each other, if the Metal-feathered Eagle closes its wings and shoot out its metal feathers to slice the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ or attack the Leaf-eared Cat, the moment it closes its wings, the two vines that the Leaf-eared Catshed out will tie it up!¡± ¡°When the timees, the Leaf-eared Cat will be able to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle down from the sky. As long as it can move the battle from the air to the forest, the winner of this battle will be Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Among everyone present, other than Giles, who was the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s Beast Tamer, only one person noticed the change in the Metal-feathered Eagle. It was the Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, who was the umpire. Looks like Giles got the Metal-feathered Eagle to deal with the Leaf-eared Cat for so long just to wait for this opportunity! Seeing the Leaf-eared Catunch a fierce attack after closing the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle, Hashmented inwardly. Besides, from the beginning of the battle until now, the Metal-feathered Eagle has consumed much less stamina and spiritual energy than the Leaf-eared Cat. If the battle continues as-is, the lower-rank Metal-feathered Eagle might win in the end. After realising that the Metal-feathered Eagle had activated its metal-type innate skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯, Hash, who was standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, had been paying attention to the changes in the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s four eagle ws. At that moment, facing the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ and the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ flying towards it, the Metal-feathered Eagle used its four eagle ws, which had long been enhanced by the metal-type innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯. Under the surprised gazes of the spectators, the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s ws steadily caught the two Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Then, with a gentle clench, it shattered the Green Leaf Flying Daggers into nt-type spiritual energy which dissipated. The ws of the Metal-feathered Eagle also cut through the two vines thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat. As the Metal-feathered Eagle used its ws that were infused with metal-type spiritual energy to deliver a horizontal sh. The two vines that werepletely made of nt-type spiritual energy were sliced into several pieces. ¡°Oh my God! What¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯sbat effectiveness rank three ranks lower than the Leaf-eared Cat? Why can it use its ws to catch the Green Leaf Flying Dagger that the Leaf-eared Cat threw towards it?¡± ¡°Furthermore, after the Metal-feathered Eagle caught the Green Leaf Flying Dagger, its body did not sway at all. This means that the impact of the Green Leaf Flying Dagger flying towards it has no effect on it!¡± ¡°Did you all see that? The Metal-feathered Eagle actually used its eagle w to shatter the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s Green Leaf Flying Daggers! I can¡¯t believe my eyes! This should be the reason why the Green Leaf Flying Daggers ¡°coincidentally¡± happened to dissipate into spiritual energy, right?¡± ¡°Hey! Guys! We should all calm down now! Everyone, look at the four eagle ws of the Metal-feathered Eagle. I can clearly sense a metal-type spiritual energy from its eagle ws.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Under the reminder of a spectator, the shocked and chaotic audience finally noticed the change in the Metal-feathered Eagle. ¡°Hmm? Why are the four eagle ws of the Metal-feathered Eagle so much brighter than before the battle began?¡± ¡°I noticed that too, but I thought it was because of the sunlight.¡± ¡°But now, it seems that the increase in the brightness of its eagle ws has little to do with the sunlight.¡± ¡°The Metal-feathered Eagle must have activated a metal-type skill to strengthen its four eagle ws.¡± ¡°Is it a metal-type skill that attaches metal-type spiritual energy to the body part andpletely envelops it to increase its attack power and defense?¡± ¡°Since the Metal-feathered Eagle is a metal-attribute spirit beast, this metal-attribute skill should be the moremon innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯ among metal-attribute spirit beasts.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so too. It¡¯s a metal-type innate skill that can increase its hardness, ¡®Metalize¡¯. Also, it happens to be able to suppress the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ and ¡®Vine Whip¡¯, which are nt-type skills.¡± ¡°The Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s current long-range attack method is a metal-type skill that can shoot out metal feathers. In closebat, it also has a metal-type innate skill, ¡®Metalize¡¯. In that case, as a t-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat can only think of ways to fight a drawn-out battle.¡± ¡°A drawn-out battle? Buddy, are you kidding? I don¡¯t think Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle will let this opportunity slip by!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. After the vines thrown out by the Leaf-eared Cat were cut off by the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat, which is in the air, doesn¡¯t have wings and can¡¯t fly.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chapter 129

Chapter 129: The Metal-Feathered Eagle Shoots ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ at the Leaf-eared Cat

Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions

At that moment, the situation that was happening in the air above the battlefield was just as the spectators were discussing. The Leaf-eared Cat had been chasing after the Metal-feathered Eagle. Just now, the distance between them had been reduced to less than three meters. As long as the two vines it threw out sessfully tied up the Metal-feathered Eagle, it would be able to restrict the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s movements and prevent it from using its flying advantage. Furthermore, the Leaf-eared Cat could rely on the two vines to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle into the forest for the fight. As the battle environment was a forest that was more advantageous for the Leaf-eared Cat, it couldpletely depend on itsbat effectiveness rank, which was three ranks higher, to suppress the Metal Feather Eagle, which had attributes that could suppress it, until it lost its ability to continue fighting. However, after the two vines that it had flung out were cut apart by the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s sharp eagle ws, as it did not have any ability to stay in the air or other means, the Leaf-eared Cat began to fall from the sky to the ground. Giles watched as the distance between the Leaf-eared Cat and the Metal-feathered Eagle gradually widened. Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Giles¡¯ smile widened. Just as others had spected previously, the number of ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ his Metal-feathered Eagle could fire over a short period of time was indeed limited. Therefore, from the beginning, Giles did not let the Metal-feathered Eagle waste its ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ on the Green Leaf Flying Daggers. Instead, he got the Metal-feathered Eagle to dodge the Green Leaf Flying Daggers as much as possible. It was because of this that Annie would let the Leaf-eared Cat approach the Metal-feathered Eagle. This was also the reason Giles had gotten the Metal-feathered Eagle to keep its ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯. It was all for the sake of waiting for a chance toe up. That chance is now! At that moment, the Leaf-eared Cat, which did not have any ability to hover or any means to stop its fall, was plummeting. In order to prevent itself from being hurt when itnded, the Leaf-eared Cat had to change itsnding posture as soon as possible. However, when it changed itsnding position, its back would be facing the Metal-feathered Eagle! Giles, who had been staring at the Leaf-eared Cat, seized this rare opportunity. He quickly used spiritualmunication to order the Metal-feathered Eagle to attack. ¡°Now is the time! Metal-feathered Eagle! Fire ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ at the plummeting Leaf-eared Cat!¡± ¡°Even if the Leaf-eared Cat has a way to dodge the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯, you have to follow its trajectory and continue shooting!¡± ¡°However, while you¡¯re watching the Leaf-eared Cat, remember to maintain your flying height.¡± ¡°Once your flying height drops to below the crown of the trees in the forest, the Leaf-eared Cat that dodged the attack might seize this opportunity to retaliate.¡± After receiving Gilesa€TMmand to attack, the Metal-feathered Eagle quickly closed its wings and spread them open. As the Metal-feathered Eagle spread open its wings once again, four dazzling golden rays shot out from between its wings. Its target was the Leaf-eared Cat that was still falling. Annie, who was on the other side of the battlefield, saw everything clearly. The Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly shot its metal feathers at the falling Leaf-eared Cat. Annie immediately understood Giles¡¯ intention for keeping the Metal-feathered Eagle from attacking. However, in the face of such a crisis, Annie did not have time to think. Nervous, she subconsciously reminded the Leaf-eared Cat, ¡°Leaf-eared Cat! Be careful of the metal feathers of the Metal-feathered Eagle!¡± ¡°Quickly use ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ on the nearby trees!¡± The Leaf-eared Cat was in the middle of adjusting its position. Its ears twitched. Even though its back was facing the Metal-feathered Eagle, it could still determine the direction the metal feathers wereing from based on the sound of the metal feathers flying through the air. Subsequently, there came themand given by its Beast Tamer, Annie. After hearing Annie¡¯smand, the tattoo on the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s neck glowed with the green light of nt-type spiritual energy again. The two vines that were condensed from nt-type spiritual energy appeared on the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s neck again. The Leaf-eared Cat quicklyshed out the two vines towards the tree closest to it. The moment the vines wrapped around the tree, the Leaf-eared Cat began to retract the vines and pull its body towards the tree. As the direction in which the Leaf-eared Cat was moving changed, the four dazzling golden rays also quickly swooshed past where the Leaf-eared Cat had been previously. In the battlefield that was filled with tender greenery, four more golden metal feathers were stuck on the ground. The Leaf-eared Cat, which was still falling from the sky, quickly changed its foothold with the help of the two vines. Furthermore, it had sessfully dodged the first round of ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ from the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, before the Leaf-eared Cat couldnd on the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air pped its wings again. Two metal feathers that were infused with metal-type spiritual energy flew towards the Leaf-eared Cat again. During Giles¡¯ two-week training, one of the training programs was for the Metal-feathered Eagle tounch its ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to shoot at moving targets. From this shooting training, not only did the Metal-feathered Eagle enhance its ability to track moving targets with its eyes, but it also increased its uracy when using ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to shoot moving targets. Therefore, under Annie¡¯smand, the Metal-feathered Eagle, which was above the venue, clearly caught it when the Leaf-eared Cat used ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ to change the direction of its descent to the nearby trees instead. The moment the Leaf-eared Cat threw the vines at the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle had already shot its Feather Arrows at the two vines. The Leaf-eared Cat could change its direction by controlling the two vines and thereby avoiding the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ shot by the Metal-feathered Eagle. However, at that moment, it had its two vines wrapped around the tree and could not dodge the ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ shot by the Metal-feathered Eagle. Crack! Crack! As the two vines condensed from nt-type spirit energy broke, a snapping sound rang out in the arena. The Leaf-eared Cat, who had sessfully dodged the four Feather Arrows, clearly did not expect this. The two Feather Arrows that followed were actually not targeted at it but at its two vines that were wrapped around the tree. Boom! Rustle¡­ After the vines that stuck out from its neck snapped, the Leaf-eared Cat fell straight into a bush in front of the tree. The sound of the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s body rubbing against the leaves rang out from the bushes. At that moment, the Metal-feathered Eagle in the sky above the arena clearly captured the location where the Leaf-eared Cat hadnded. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! After that, four air-splitting sounds rang out as the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and shot four Feather Arrows at the Leaf-eared Cat. The four golden Feather Arrows quickly disappeared into the bush that the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen into. However, in the bushes, only the sound of the Feather Arrows slicing through the leaves could be heard. The Metal-feathered Eagle was very sure that all the Feather Arrows that it had shot at Leaf-eared Cat in the bushes, had missed the target. The Leaf-eared Cat that was supposed to be in the bushes had suddenly disappeared. Chapter 130

Chapter 130: The Missing Leaf-eared Cat

The battle situation on the battlefield often changed rapidly. The switching of the identity of the attacker and the defender only took a split second. Just a moment ago, the spectators were still curious. In the face of the Green Leaf Flying Daggers and the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out, would the Metal-feathered Eagle choose to forcefully dodge them or shoot its ¡®Feather Arrows¡¯ to sh apart the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ before thinking of a solution. However, the next moment, the Metal-feathered Eagle had used its four eagle ws, which had been enhanced by the metal-type innate skill ¡®Metalize¡¯, to crush the ¡®Green Leaf Flying Daggers¡¯ that had flown over and cut off the ¡®Vine Whip¡¯. Furthermore, after the Metal-feathered Eagle broke free from the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s attack, it finally began its counterattack! Watching as the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and shot out its Metal Feathers at the falling Leaf-eared Cat, some of the spectators in the spectator stand stood up excitedly. ¡°Hey! Guys! Look! The Metal-feathered Eagle has finally used its metal-type skill that can shoot out metal feathers again!¡± ¡°How is it? I just said that Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle will definitely not let this opportunity slip by!¡± ¡°The Leaf-eared Cat doesn¡¯t have any skills that can keep it in the air. If these four metal feathers with metal-type spiritual energy hit the target, as a nt-type spirit beast, the Leaf-eared Cat might suffer significant damage!¡± ¡°Miss Annie has also given amand! It seems like the Leaf-eared Cat still has a way to handle this situation!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Under Annie¡¯smand, the Leaf-eared Cat in the air used its ¡®Vine Whip¡¯ on the nearby trees. With the help of the vines that were wrapped around the tree, the Leaf-eared Cat changed its direction of descent and sessfully dodged the four metal feathers that were glimmering with a golden glow. The audience, who had thought that this move would be the key to victory, stood up excitedly. After seeing this scene, they all prepared to return to their seats in pity. However, following that, an audience member eximed. All the spectators¡¯ eyes were focused on the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had thrown out. ¡°The Metal-feathered Eagle shot two metal feathers at the Leaf-eared Cat! That¡¯s not right! The trajectories of these two metal feathers are clearly not going towards the cat!¡± ¡°Hmm? Oh! I get it! As the Leaf-eared Cat can change its direction by controlling the vines like before, the Metal-feathered Eagle targeted the two vines that are wrapped around the tree!¡± ¡°Look! The two metal feathers that the Metal-feathered Eagle shot out have indeed cut off the vines around the tree!¡± ¡°The Leaf-eared Cat has already fallen into the bushes! But the Metal-feathered Eagle¡¯s attack has not stopped! It has also shot out four metal feathers towards the bushes!¡± ¡°Hmm? Why isn¡¯t there any movement from the shrubbery? Could it be that the Leaf-eared Catnded too heavily and fainted?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not right! The Leaf-eared Cat isn¡¯t in the bushes anymore! Where did it go?¡± ¡°¡­¡± In just a few seconds, the Metal-feathered Eagle sessfully swapped the position of attacker and defender with the Leaf-eared Cat. The intense battle made all the spectators stand up. They stuck out their bodies and used their eyes to search for the Leaf-eared Cat. Giles, who was standing at the side of the arena,municated telepathically with the Metal-feathered Eagle. He was certain that the Leaf-eared Cat was no longer in the bushes. However, Giles¡¯ gaze was still on the patch of shrubbery that the Leaf-eared Cat had justnded in. Was that what the rustling of leaves was when it first fell into the bushes?¡± For the first time since the battle began, the Metal-feathered Eagle did not manage to capture the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s movements. Therefore, Giles, who was curious about this, looked pensive as he stared at the bush. Based on the Leaf-eared Cat¡¯s height in the sky before Feather Arrows severed the vines, it should have had time to continue condensing new vines to bind to the other trees around it. But Annie didn¡¯t get it to do that. Although the Leaf-eared Cat that fell into the bushes would look a little pathetic, this is clearly Annie¡¯s choice. As for the purpose of Annie getting the Leaf-eared Cat to do this, it¡¯s probably to make use of the rustling of the leaves to allow the Leaf-eared Cat to hide. Giles looked at the motionless bush and recalled the scene where the Leaf-eared Cat had been about to fall into the bush. He quickly spected in his heart that Annie must have deliberately gotten the Leaf-eared Cat to hide in the bushes. This was because even though the vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had wrapped around the tree had been severed by the Feather Arrows shot out by the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat had already adjusted itsnding position at that time. Even if an ident happened and the vines were cut off, the Leaf-eared Cat would not be hurt when it fell into the bushes. Furthermore, it could even use the sound of the leaves rubbing against each other to move around in the bushes. At the thought of this, Giles raised his head slightly and ordered the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air, ¡°Metal-feathered Eagle, stop the pursuit for now!¡± ¡°You can circle around the arena and search for the Leaf-eared Cat.¡± ¡°We still don¡¯t know the location of the Leaf-eared Cat yet.¡± ¡°Therefore, you have to pay attention to maintaining your flying height.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let the Leaf-eared Cat find a chance tounch a sneak attack.¡± As the forest was covered by the tall and dense trees, when the Leaf-eared Cat fell into the bush under the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle could only roughly determine its location. Furthermore, if it wanted to observe the bush under the tree, the Metal-feathered Eagle would have to reduce its flying height slightly. The Metal-feathered Eagle recalled Giles¡¯ previous instructions and did not choose to lower its flying height to search for the Leaf-eared Cat. Just as the Metal-feathered Eagle was hesitating about whether to continue firing its Feather Arrows, it received Giles¡¯mand through spiritualmunication. Thus, the Metal-feathered Eagle pped its wings and flew higher. At the same time, it began to circle around the only patch of grass on the battlefield, continuously searching for the Leaf-eared Cat. Hmm, this method worked as expected! Annie watched as the Metal-feathered Eagle returned to its previous flying height and began to circle around the battlefield. Standing on the other side of the battlefield, Annie confirmed that the method she had thought of was effective. Looking at Giles¡¯ thoughtful expression, Annie suddenly smiled cunningly. Looks like my advantage has finally returned to me! Chapter 131 Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions Looks like the Metal-feathered Eagle and Giles don''t know where the Leaf-eared Cat is currently hiding. The Metal-feathered Eagle''s actions and Giles'' expression made Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield, certain of this. However, Annie, who was smiling, sighed to herself. It had not been easy for her to establish her current upper hand, which allowed her to finally rx. Previously, I had been asking the Leaf-eared Cat to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle flying in the sky. Even though the Leaf-eared Cat had activated its innate skill ''Cloak of Nature'' and hid itself in the bushes, the Metal-feathered Eagle that stopped above the arena could also see its trajectory clearly. However, both the Leaf-eared Cat and I ignored a very crucial point! The Metal-feathered Eagle can clearly see the movements of the Leaf-eared Cat. Other than its own reasons, there is another more important reason! That''s because the Leaf-eared Cat has been shuttling through the bushes, looking for an opportunity to attack. At the thought of this, the rxed Annie shifted her gaze away from the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air. Then, her gazended on the bush that the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen into. Just now, I told the cat to adjust itsnding position and fall into the bushes. The Leaf-eared Cat activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature'', again. It hid its body and increased its speed. Furthermore, I also got the Leaf-eared Cat to use this opportunity to climb up the nearest tree from the bushes and stay still. The final oue is just as I expected. That tree has a dense canopy to shield the Leaf-eared Cat, and the Metal-feathered Eagle waspletely focused on the bush that the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen into. If the Metal-feathered Eagle had chosen to continue pursuing and had flown lower than the crown of the tree, it should be able to immediately discover that the Leaf-eared Cat is actually on the tree branch of that huge tree. That''s right, most of the others'' eyes were focused on the bushes in the battlefield as they searched for the Leaf-eared Cat. No one noticed that on a tree in the battlefield, there was a thick branch with an especially dense green ''leaf'' on it. However, Hash, who was the umpire, was not included among these people. Hash, who had just obtained the title of ''Elite'', was evaluated by the Beast Tamer Association as the ''youngest Elite Beast Tamer''. Not only did Hash have the strength of an Epic-rank Beast Tamer, but the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle that she had contracted also hadbat effectiveness rank that was close to the Legend rank. The reason being that Hash''s Tree-tailed Alligator Turtle was the same as Annie''s Leaf-eared Cat. They were both nt-attribute spirit beasts. Hence, when everyone realized that the Leaf-eared Cat, who had fallen into the bushes, had disappeared, Hash activated her spiritual perception as she stood on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle. In an instant, she caught sight of the Leaf-eared Cat, which was exhausting its spiritual energy to activate its innate skill. Hash looked at the figure of the Leaf-eared Cat hidden among the branches of the tree. She also understood why Annie had asked the Leaf-eared Cat to do this. Regarding everything that had happened above the battlefield, even the experienced and knowledgeable Elite Beast Tamer, Hash, could not help but praise from the bottom of her heart,What a brilliant exchange of attack and defense! First, Miss Annie got her Leaf-eared Cat to pursue the Metal-feathered Eagle in the air. The Leaf-eared Cat used the ''Vine Whip'' to swing its body to close the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle. During this period, it also continuously used the Green Leaf Flying Daggers to suppress the flying speed of the Metal-feathered Eagle. In the end, Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat finally seized the opportunity when the Metal-feathered Eagle flew lower. The Leaf-eared Cat used its ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' and ''Vine Whip'' to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to fire its metal feathers. However, Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat didn''t know that this was actually a chance that Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had been waiting for. At the thought of this, Hash couldn''t help but look at Giles in admiration. The Leaf-eared Cat''sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Furthermore, it is a nt-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities. Giles'' Metal-feathered Eagle is a metal-type spirit beast that counters nt-type spirit beasts. But the metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle uses to shoot metal feathers still has a limitation in numbers. As a Beast Tamer, Giles is also clearly aware of this. Therefore, when Giles saw the Leaf-eared Cat constantly unleashing Green Leaf Flying Daggers to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle, he didn''t let the Metal-feathered Eagle waste its limited number of metal feathers to slice the ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' that were flying towards it. Instead, he had the Metal-feathered Eagle activate its metal-type innate skill, ''Metalize'', in advance and strengthen its four eagle ws. In the process of activating its innate skill to strengthen its eagle ws, the Metal-feathered Eagle would always "narrowly" dodge the ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' that the Leaf-eared Cat threw out. Now that I think about it, how can such a coincidence happen every time? This is clearly Giles'' doing on purpose! Hash, who was standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, raised her head slightly and looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle circling above the battlefield. Firstly, it would take some time for the Metal-feathered Eagle to activate its innate skill to strengthen its eagle ws. Furthermore, this would also make the Leaf-eared Cat to continue unleashing ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' to chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle. When the Leaf-eared Cat used the vines to wrap around the tree branches to swing its body and finally caught up to the Metal-feathered Eagle, it didn''t expect that the Metal-feathered Eagle, which had been holding back, would unleash a ferocious attack that almost determined victory for the first time! The Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly used its four sharp eagle ws that had been enhanced by its metal-type innate skill ''Metalize''. It clearly exceeded everyone''s expectations. The four eagle ws that are as sharp as des shattered the Green Leaf Flying Daggers that flew over and cut off the ''Vine Whips''. As a result, the Leaf-eared Cat, who was unprepared at that time, lost the means to stay in the air by binding the Metal-feathered Eagle. It could only begin to descend from the sky. Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Naturally, they had to seize this opportunity tounch a counterattack! However, in the face of the Metal-feathered Eagle''s sudden counterattack, Miss Annie''s reaction speed and method of handling it were very timely and appropriate. Chapter 132 Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions From Miss Annie''s tone when shemanded the Leaf-eared Cat to hide, I can tell that she was very agitated and anxious at that time. This means that before this, she clearly didn''t expect Giles to let the Metal-feathered Eagle use its ''Metalized'' eagle ws to ward off the Leaf-eared Cat''s attack. At the same time, this means that she knows very well that the Metal-feathered Eagle''s metal-type skill that fires its metal feathers is a huge threat to the Leaf-eared Cat. Hash, who had her head slightly tilted, looked away from the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling in the air. Then, she turned her head slightly to look at Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield. But it is also because Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat are constantly on guard against the metal-type skill that the Metal-feathered Eagle had yet to use. That''s why she couldmand the Leaf-eared Cat to dodge the attack the moment the Metal-feathered Eagleunched its feathers. The Metal-feathered Eagle, which had changed its target, then shot out two metal feathers, cutting off the two vines that the Leaf-eared Cat had wrapped around the tree. Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat didn''t panic because of this. *Miss Annie didn''t let the Leaf-eared Cat continue throwing new vines to wrap around the other trees to change the direction of itsnding position. She got the Leaf-eared Cat to fall into the nearest bush. At the same time, she got it to activate its innate skill ''Cloak of Nature'' to hide itself. With the help of the sound of the rustling leaves when it fell into the bushes, Miss Annie got the concealed Leaf-eared Cat to quickly climb up a nearby tree. Just as everyone''s gaze was focused on the bush where the Leaf-eared Cat had fallen, who would have thought that the Leaf-eared Cat had already hidden elsewhere? However, even though Miss Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat were able to react quickly to unexpected situations, from the moment Giles had the Metal-feathered Eagleunch a counterattack, the victory scale had already begun to tip towards Giles. Standing on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle, Hash stared at a tall and dense tree in the battlefield. There was a thick tree branch on that tree, and on the branch was an especially dense ''leaf'' that was swaying slightly. However, that was not because of the gentle breeze blowing in the evaluation section of Starlux Gym. Instead, it was in fact the Leaf-eared Cat, who was lying on a tree branch, after it activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature''. Through her sharp spiritual perception, Hash could tell that the Leaf-eared Cat was lying on its back and breathing slowly. Under Miss Annie''smand, the Leaf-eared Cat continuously attacked the Metal-feathered Eagle who was above the arena. It first activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature'', to hide its figure and attempt to distract the Metal-feathered Eagle by moving back and forth between the bushes. After this method failed, Miss Annie began to have the Leaf-eared Cat initiate the attack and continued to use the ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' to suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle''s flying height. Furthermore, while the Leaf-eared Cat threw the Green Leaf Flying Daggers, it also threw out ''Vine Whip'' to wrap around the tree branches, swinging its body to shorten the distance between it and the Metal-feathered Eagle. In the chase after the Metal-feathered Eagle in which Miss Annie asked the Leaf-eared Cat to take the initiative to attack, due to the Leaf-eared Cat constantly using its skills and running and jumping around, its spiritual energy and physical strength were greatly depleted. Compared to the Leaf-eared Cat, who is now lying on a tree branch and panting, Giles'' Metal-feathered Eagle is in much better shape. Hash raised her head slightly and switched her spiritual perception to the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling above the battlefield. Although the Metal-feathered Eagle''sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat, the difference in the spiritual energy in their bodies is no longer asrge as before. Furthermore, under the ferocious attack of the Leaf-eared Cat just now, the Metal-feathered Eagle that had been dodging the attacks all this while actually consumed less physical strength than the Leaf-eared Cat that was continuously chasing after it. The reason why Giles chose to let the extremely aggressive Metal-feathered Eagle use such a ''defensive counter attack'' tactic is probably because the Metal-feathered Eagle''s attributes are different from that of the Leaf-eared Cat. The metal-type Metal-feathered Eagle is not like the nt-type Leaf-eared Cat which has strong recovery abilities and continuousbat ability. Moreover, the Metal-feathered Eagle''sbat effectiveness rank is three ranks lower than that of the Leaf-eared Cat. Both its physical strength and spiritual energy are inferior to the evolved Leaf-eared Cat. Therefore, Giles has been paying attention to the Metal-feathered Eagle''s physical strength and spiritual energy consumption in this battle. Under the ''Defensive Counter Attack'' tactic that Giles designed for the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat, which initially had the advantage of physical strength and spiritual energy, would turn out to be the first to be exhausted and out of breath. From the looks of it, even if Miss Annie ns to let the Leaf-eared Cat fight the drawn-out battle that nt-type spirit beasts are best at, she won''t be able to gain an advantage over the Metal-feathered Eagle with abundant physical strength and spiritual energy, unless¡­ Just as Hash was pondering, her spiritual perception suddenly sensed a nt-type spiritual power that was slowly increasing. The direction where the nt-type spiritual energy was headed was towards the tree branch where the Leaf-eared Cat, who had activated its innate skill, was hiding! "Oh? Miss Annie''s Leaf-eared Cat actually learned this skill?" After Hash sensed the increasing nt-type spiritual energy through her spiritual perception, she subconsciously looked towards the tree branch that the Leaf-eared Cat was lying on. Compared to before, the thick tree branch was missing a cluster of dense green "leaves". In its ce was the Leaf-eared Cat with a tinge of green light all over its body. Knowing that it was time for the show to begin, Hash sat on the back of the Tree-tailed Alligator Snapping Turtle Then, Hash enunciated every word clearly on the skill and effect that the Leaf-eared Cat had activated. "The recovery skill of nt-type spirit beasts, ''Sunbathe'', has a mechanism simr to the photosynthesis of nts." "After activating this skill, the Leaf-eared Cat can slowly recover its stamina and spiritual energy from before by absorbing the sunlight." "Although the speed at which the Leaf-eared Cat restores its strength and spiritual energy when using ''Sunbathe'' is not fast, this nt-type recovery skill is extremely important to the current battle situation!" "Because if Giles can''t immediately think of a countermeasure and get the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop the Leaf-eared Cat from activating ''Sunbathe'', in that case, the stamina and spiritual energy that the Leaf-eared Cat depleted from his ''defense counterattack'' tactic will gradually recover!" Chapter 133 Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions Based on the current situation, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle probably have yet to realise that the Leaf-eared Cat hid itself in the tree after unleashing its innate skill. Through Giles'' pensive expression and the constantly circling Metal-feathered Eagle above the arena, Annie, who was standing on the other side of the battlefield, confirmed this information. However, at this rate, this is also not a solution. Annie had just rxed, but she was faced with a new problem. Although Annie''s spiritual perception was far inferior to that of the Epic-rank Beast Tamer, Hash, as the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, she could also sense the depletion of her spirit beast''s spiritual energy. Although the Leaf-eared Cat still has a lot of spiritual energy left, it no longer has much of an advantage in terms of spiritual energypared to the Metal-feathered Eagle now. Furthermore, after the Leaf-eared Cat took the initiative to unleash a fierce attack and narrowly dodged the Metal-feathered Eagle''s sudden counterattack, other than the consumption of spiritual energy, the Leaf-eared Cat''s physical strength consumption is also much greater than the Metal-feathered Eagle. Annie, whose expression had turned serious, looked up slightly. She looked at the Metal-feathered Eagle that was still circling above the arena, searching for the Leaf-eared Cat. After a round of head-on battle with the Leaf-eared Cat, the rise and fall of the Metal-feathered Eagle''s chest is still very gentle. From this, it can be seen that the Metal-feathered Eagle''s breathing is very stable. Furthermore, from the way it is methodically searching for the Leaf-eared Cat in the arena, it seems to be very calm. It didn''t panic because it wasn''t able to find any traces of the Leaf-eared Cat. As for my Leaf-eared Cat¡­ At the thought of this, Annie looked away from the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling in the air. Then, she furtively looked towards a tree in the battlefield. On the tree, there was a thick branch with an especially dense "leaf". Although there was not much wind blowing in the evaluation section of Starlux Gym, for some reason, that particr "leaf" shook much more than the other leaves around it. Annie knew very well that the "leaf" was the Leaf-eared Cat who had activated its innate skill and was sitting on the tree branch. It was breathing slowly. Compared to the Metal-feathered Eagle, the Leaf-eared Cat''s breathing is much more rapid. Furthermore, its body is moving along with the rhythm of its breathing. Even if Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle have yet to discover that the Leaf-eared Cat is actually hiding on a tree branch, when the Leaf-eared Cat breathes, its body fluctuates so much. Sooner orter, they will notice something unusual on the tree. Besides, it is impossible for the Leaf-eared Cat to continuously deplete its spiritual energy to activate its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature'', to remain hidden. But if I get the Leaf-eared Cat to stop using its innate skill which can keep it hidden¡­ In that case, even if the Metal-feathered Eagle circling above the arena doesn''t fly lower than the treetops in the forest, Giles, who is standing opposite me, will also notice the location of the Leaf-eared Cat¡­ Wait! Annie kept thinking about how to solve the problem at hand. While she was pondering, she suddenly captured an extremely important piece of information that she had not used before. The Metal-feathered Eagle has the advantage inbat in the air. It will definitely not ''take the initiative'' to reduce its flying height to below the crown of the tree! This means that the battle environment that I specially chose from the start was the most suitable for the Leaf-eared Cat! Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle know very well that fighting in the forest is very disadvantageous for them! It is also because of this that I had previously made the Leaf-eared Cat, which is three ranks higher inbat effectiveness, take the initiative to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle. The goal is to drag the Metal-feathered Eagle from the aerial battles it''s good at to the forest, where it''s advantageous for the Leaf-eared Cat, to fight and try to end the battle as soon as possible using this method. However, I forgot something very important previously! Giles can get the Metal-feathered Eagle to fly at a high altitude and remain in the air above the arena, waiting for me to get the Leaf-eared Cat to attack. Simrly, I can also let the Leaf-eared Cat hide in the forest and wait for Giles to let the Metal-feathered Eagle attack! After realizing this, Annie, who was gradually turning serious, suddenly thought of a solution to the current problem. Since the current situation is disadvantageous to the Leaf-eared Cat, there is no need for me to be in a hurry to get the Leaf-eared Cat to initiate the attack like before! Furthermore, if we are really going to have a prolonged battle, as a nt-type spirit beast with strong recovery abilities, my Leaf-eared Cat will have a greater advantage than the Metal-feathered Eagle, which is a metal-type spirit beast! Judging from the Metal-feathered Eagle''s previous performance, its metal-type skill that shoots out metal feathers should be its most powerful and effective long-range attack. However, due to the limitation of the number of metal feathers, Giles won''t let the Metal-feathered Eagle shoot the metal feathers at will. Unless the same thing happens again, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not suddenly shoot out so many metal feathers. If that''s the case, I can actually take advantage of the distance between the Leaf-eared Cat and the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop thetter from using its innate skill! As she pondered, Annie''s thoughts became clearer. A perfect strategy began to gradually form in her mind. Even if I let the Leaf-eared Cat reveal its location, the Metal-feathered Eagle will not be able to pose a threat to the Leaf-eared Cat as it has to fly at a high altitude in the air. At this distance, the ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' that my Leaf-eared Cat suddenly throws will be caught by the Metal-feathered Eagle and easily avoided. But if the Metal-feathered Eagle shoots its metal feathers at the Leaf-eared Cat, who is on the tree branch, the Leaf-eared Cat will also be able to react quickly and dodge the Metal-feathered Eagle''s attack. Besides, in this way, it can also deplete the Metal-feathered Eagle''s spiritual energy and the number of metal feathers it can shoot. Under these circumstances, if the Metal-feathered Eagle wants to cause any damage to the Leaf-eared Cat, it has no choice but to reduce its flying height. Then, it will strengthen its four eagle ws by activating its metal-type innate skill, ''Metalize'', and fight the Leaf-eared Cat in closebat. Just like how the Leaf-eared Cat doesn''t have the ability and means to remain in the air, these tall and dense trees in the forest will also restrict the flight of the Metal-feathered Eagle! Once the Metal-feathered Eagle lowers its flying height to below the treetop of the forest, it will enter the Leaf-eared Cat''s homeground battlefield! As for how to force the Metal-feathered Eagle to lower its flying height and attack the Leaf-eared Cat¡­ That''s a much simpler problem. Chapter 134 Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions "Leaf-eared Cat, stop using your spiritual energy and deactivate your hidden state. Don''t activate your innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature'' anymore." "From now on, activate ''Sunbathe'', your nt-type recovery skill. You can slowly recover the physical strength and spiritual energy you consumed previously." Through spiritualmunication, Annie ordered the Leaf-eared Cat, who was hiding on a tree branch. At the same time, she did not forget to remind the Leaf-eared Cat to be careful of the Metal-feathered Eagle''s attacks. "Leaf-eared Cat, after you expose your location, the Metal-feathered Eagle circling above the arena might shoot its metal feathers at you like before." "Therefore, you must always pay attention to dodging the attacks from above." "Although you are unable to use other skills when you activate ''Sunbathe'' to recover, you can still dodge the attacks like the Metal-feathered Eagle did previously, so as to deplete its spiritual energy and its feathers." "If the Metal-feathered Eagle doesn''t have any intention of attacking you from a distance because of its limited number of metal feathers, in that case, try your best to absorb the sunlight during this period of time to recover the spiritual energy and physical strength that you depleted previously." Furthermore, in the spiritualmunication between Annie and the cat, Annie especially emphasized the opportunity tounch a counterattack against the Metal-feathered Eagle. "As long as the Metal-feathered Eagle takes the initiative to reduce its flying height to below the crowns of the trees in the forest and tries to use its four sharp eagle ws that have been enhanced by its metal-type innate skill ''Metalize'' to fight you in closebat, at that time, activate your ''Wood Spear Thrust'' and ''Vine Whip'' to trap it in this forest!" "Then, use your aggressive attack, ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'', topletely suppress it!" "Don''t give it any chance to fly back into the air!" The Leaf-eared Cat, who was lying on a tree branch and slowly panting, received the instructions from Annie. On arge tree opposite the battlefield, a thick tree branch suddenly shook. The reason that the tree branch shook was not because of the gentle breeze that blew past the evaluation section of Starlux Gym. Instead, it was because there was an especially dense "leaf" on the tree branch that had actually grown four limbs and stood up! This cluster of particrly dense green "leaves" was the Leaf-eared Cat that had activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature''. As the Leaf-eared Cat stood up from the tree branch, the green leaf patterns all over its body began to retreat towards its head. After removing the concealment effect of the innate skill, only its ears and neck had some green tree-leaf patterns on them. Although the green tree-leaf patterns that covered its entire body had already beenpletely retracted, there was still a faint, tender green glow surrounding its pure-white fur. However, this light-green glow that represented nt-type spiritual power waspletely different from the nt-type spiritual power that the Leaf-eared Cat had used when it activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature''. When the Leaf-eared Cat activated ''Cloak of Nature'', it would release the nt-type spiritual energy in its body and turn it into a cloak made from leaf-shaped spiritual energy. It would drape the cloak over its body to camouge itself among the bushes and trees. On the other hand, when the Leaf-eared Cat activated ''Sunbathe'', it would absorb the surrounding sunlight and continuously produce new nt-type spiritual power in its body to slowly recover. Therefore, the green glow that represented the nt-type spiritual energy was actually a glow that was emitted from the Leaf-eared Cat''s body. It was also because of this that when the Leaf-eared Cat was in the midst of recovering, its body would sway along with its breathing, causing the faint green glow to appear. Even in this battlefield that was filled with greenery, this flickering soft green glow was especially striking. The spectators in the spectator stand had been leaning forward as they searched the battlefield for the Leaf-eared Cat. At that moment, they also noticed the Leaf-eared Cat that had taken the initiative to reveal its location. "Hey! Guys! I found Miss Annie''s Leaf-eared Cat! Look over there! It''s on that tree!" "No wonder we couldn''t find it earlier. It turns out that it wasn''t hiding in the bushes but had climbed up a nearby tree!" "Looks like when the Leaf-eared Cat fell into the bushes, it activated its innate skill, ''Cloak of Nature'', to conceal itself." "Yeah. Then, with the help of the rustling of the leaves when it fell into the bushes, it quickly climbed up the nearby trees and remained motionless." "In that case, why did Miss Annie suddenly let the Leaf-eared Cat reveal its location? It took a lot of effort for it to seize the opportunity and hide in an unexpected location. It could have attacked again when the Metal-feathered Eagle was not paying attention!" "I think it''s probably because of the consumption of spiritual energy and physical strength. Don''t forget that in the previous round, as the initiator of the attack, the Leaf-eared Cat''s spiritual energy consumption and physical strength were much higher than the Metal-feathered Eagle that defended first before attacking." "So, after Miss Annie realized that the effect of ''actively letting the Leaf-eared Cat interfere with and suppress the Metal-feathered Eagle'' was not ideal, she started to switch from the offensive to the defensive?" "I agree with you. Everyone, look. There''s a faint, tender green glow emanating from the Leaf-eared Cat''s body." "The Leaf-eared Cat has clearly activated the nt-type spirit beast''s recovery skill, ''Sunbathe''. I think that the activation of this skill is the simplest and most direct evidence!" As this point of view was raised, the spectators in the spectator stand all focused their attention on the Leaf-eared Cat, afraid that they would miss something. Just like the audience had suggested, the originally pure white and wless fur of the Leaf-eared Cat was glowing with a faint green light. "Eh! It''s really the ''Sunbathe'' recovery skill! I didn''t expect Miss Annie''s Leaf-eared Cat to have learned this skill that allows it to absorb sunlight to slowly restore its spiritual energy and physical strength!" "After all, this is the greatest advantage that the Leaf-eared Cat, a nt-attribute spirit beast, has during a drawn-outbat. As the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, Miss Annie will clearly make use of this advantage." "So, Miss Annie is nning to use this method to force Giles to let the Metal-feathered Eagle take the initiative to attack the Leaf-eared Cat? Just like how Giles made the Metal-feathered Eagle stay in the air previously." "The current situation is much moreplicated than before. If Giles doesn''t think of a way for the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop the Leaf-eared Cat from activating ''Sunbathe'' as soon as possible, the spiritual energy and physical strength that the Metal-feathered Eagle had made the Leaf-eared Cat deplete with great difficulty would be slowly restored." "However, when a spirit beast activates the skill ''Sunbathe'', it is unable to use other skills. This means that when the Leaf Cat is facing the attack of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it is unable to immediately counterattack and can only continuously dodge." "As the Beast Tamer of the Leaf-eared Cat, Miss Annie must know this as well. Therefore, I think that Miss Annie made the Leaf-eared Cat take the initiative to expose its location and even activated ''Sunbathe'', a particrly eye-catching skill, in order to make the Leaf-eared Cat behave like the Metal-feathered Eagle from before and lure the other party to attack first before retaliating." "Perhaps the Leaf-eared Cat will also pretend to reveal a w so that the Metal-feathered Eagle will approach it. Then, it will suddenly use a skill that it has never used before to attack the Metal-feathered Eagle." "Therefore, this is clearly a trap! However, in order to prevent the Leaf-eared Cat from activating ''Sunbathe'' to restore its spiritual energy and physical strength, Giles and the Metal-feathered Eagle have to step into this trap!" "¡­" Chapter 135 Trantor:Henyee TrantionsEditor:Henyee Trantions It was really hiding in a tree. The Leaf-eared Cat revealed itself on a tree in the battlefield. At that moment, Giles, who was looking up slightly, confirmed his previous spections. Just like the spectators in the spectator stand, Giles did not discover the hidden figure of the Leaf-eared Cat in the bushes where it hadnded. However, after he casually nced at the surrounding bushes, he realized that there were no obvious traces in the shrubs. The patch of shrubbery that the Leaf-eared Cat hadnded into was much more messy. Hence, Giles made a spection right then. Not only did the Leaf-eared Cat activate its innate skill ''Cloak of Nature'' to hide itself when it fell into the bushes, but it also swiftly climbed onto a nearby tree with the help of the rustling sound of leaves. That was why he had the Metal-feathered Eagle stop its pursuit and begin the search. He even specially reminded the Metal-feathered Eagle to fly higher so as to prevent it from being ambushed by the Leaf-eared Cat hiding in the forest. Annie and the Green-eared Cat have improved greatly! Recalling Annie''s reaction andmands, as well as the reaction and actions of the Leaf-eared Cat, Giles, who had put himself in the shoes of the "Gym Leader", couldn''t help but sigh. If she was also facing the fierce attack of the Metal-feathered Eagle that suddenly counterattacked, the Annie fromst month definitely wouldn''t be as fast and decisive as the current Annie when reacting and givingmands. Furthermore, the Leaf-eared Cat might even lose the ability to continue fighting under the ferocious attacks of the Metal-feathered Eagle. After the Leaf-eared Cat revealed its body, its entire body emitted a faint green glow. Seeing this, Giles immediately determined that the Leaf-eared Cat was using the nt-type recovery skill, ''Sunbathe''. However, Giles wasn''t rmed by this extremely threatening skill. He was just surprised. Hmm? I didn''t expect Annie''s Green-tailed Cat to learn the skill ''Sunbathe'' after evolving into a Leaf-eared Cat. If I don''t get the Metal-feathered Eagle to stop the Leaf-eared Cat as soon as possible, the Leaf-eared Cat will be able to slowly restore the portion of its spiritual energy and physical strength that it used up previously. It seems like Annie is nning to use this method to force me to let the Metal-feathered Eagle attack the Leaf-eared Cat. After realizing Annie''s motive for getting the Leaf-eared Cat to do this, Giles quickly thought of a solution. The fastest way to deal with this situation is to have the Metal-feathered Eagle continuously shoot ''Feather Arrows'' at the Leaf-eared Cat who is standing on the tree branch. However, after the ''Sunbathe'' skill is activated, it is merely unable to use other skills. It is not that it is impossible for it to do anything. Moreover, based on the performance of Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat, Annie could give themand in a timely manner when the Metal-feathered Eagle suddenly retaliated by shooting out the ''Feather Arrows''. The Leaf-eared Cat could also dodge quickly. This means that Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat have been guarding against the ''Feather Arrows'' of the Metal-feathered Eagle. Therefore, under such circumstances, even if I get the Metal-feathered Eagle to shoot ''Feather Arrows'' at the Leaf-eared Cat, it will still be able to dodge them easily. Annie, who is always on guard against ''Feather Arrows'', clearly knows this as well. Therefore, she has another motive for getting the Leaf-eared Cat to activate ''Sunbathe''. That is to let the Metal-feathered Eagle lower its flying height and fly into the forest to fight the Leaf-eared Cat in closebat. In that case, she wouldn''t have to let the Leaf-eared Cat deplete its spiritual energy and physical strength tounch an attack like before in order to lure the Metal-feathered Eagle from the air into the forest. Furthermore, even if I let the Metal-feathered Eagle fly as high as before, it still won''t attack the Leaf-eared Cat. By relying on ''Sunbathe'' to constantly restore its spiritual energy and physical strength, the Leaf-eared Cat can also deplete the Metal-feathered Eagle''s spiritual energy and physical strength, which cannot be restored, through a drawn-out battle. At the thought of this, Giles subconsciously sighed in his heart. Aye, Annie''s idea is actually wonderful, and the tactic she devised is almost perfect. But what she didn''t know is that my Metal-Feathered Eagle can fight a drawn-out battle even without healing abilities. In the past two weeks of training, I especially trained the Metal-feathered Eagle''s endurance of the. Based on the current stamina of the Metal-feathered Eagle, it will definitely not lose to the Gold-rank, three-star Leaf-eared Cat. As for the spiritual energy depletion¡­ Giles, who had his head slightly raised, shifted his gaze from the Leaf-eared Cat to the Metal-feathered Eagle that was circling above the arena. "Metal-feathered Eagle, can you absorb the beast cores'' spiritual energy from the vine belt right now?" The Metal-feathered Eagle quickly replied to Giles through spiritualmunication, "No problem at all! Giles, this is just as you said previously!" "Compared to my usual training, this battle can help me absorb spiritual energy more quickly!" After receiving the reply from the Metal-feathered Eagle, Giles nodded slightly. Then, through spiritualmunication, he gave the Metal-feathered Eagle the following instructions, "Metal-feathered Eagle, as you can see, the Leaf-eared Cat is currently hiding on that tree to restore its spiritual energy and physical strength." "It''s doing that so that you will lower your flying height and fly into the forest to fight it in closebat." "In that case, let''s fulfill its wish!" "Metal-feathered Eagle, next, shoot ''Feather Arrows'' while reducing your flying height and chasing after the Leaf-eared Cat." "But you have to be on guard against any counterattacks from the Leaf-eared Cat!" At the mention of the possibility of the Leaf-eared Cat retaliating, Giles began to remind the Metal-feathered Eagle to pay attention to some of the Leaf-eared Cat''s skills. "Based on my understanding of the Leaf-eared Cat, when it counterattacks, it will probably use ''Wood Spear Thrust'' and ''Vine Whips''." "As for ''Vine Whips'', you''ve already seen it. Your eagle ws, which have been enhanced by your innate skill, ''Metalize'', can easily cut off those vines." "However, you have to be especially careful about the ''Wood Spear Thrust'' skill. Also, you have to be alert at all times." "Because when the Leaf-eared Cat activates this skill, that ''Wood Spear'' might not fly out from its body." "As long as there are trees around the Leaf-eared Cat, it can shoot the ''Wood Spear Thrust'' at you from the trees!" "Also, the number of ''Wood Spear Thrust'' that isunched is not like the ''Green Leaf Flying Daggers'' which fly out one at a time, nor is it like the Vine Whips'' with only two of them. "''Wood Spear Thrust'' can beunched at the same time in ordance with the spiritual energy used up by the Leaf-eared Cat!" "Therefore, the Leaf-eared Cat might shoot out ten ''Wood Spear Thrusts'' at the same time to limit your movements!" "Metal-feathered Eagle, you have to remember that once you are trapped in the forest, we will have to fight to end this quickly." "Because under those circumstances, Annie and the Leaf-eared Cat will definitely not give you a chance to fly back into the air." "Okay, Giles," the Metal-feathered Eagle replied to Giles''mand. It was full of fighting spirit as it looked determinedly at the Leaf-eared Cat standing on the tree. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
