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

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 succeeded 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 to comfort 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 outcome 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 outcome 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 glazed 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’t come 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 palace in the hearts of every Beast Tamer.

Only a Beast Tamer who stepped into that place 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 blame him for being impolite.

“Swan Beast, come out.”

The next moment, an endless light flashed.

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 best companion 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 glared 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, then laughed.

“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’ command, 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 collapsed in the arena.

Instant kill!

This was a complete suppression!

After the battle ended, Giles glanced coldly at Bart and his group.

“Who told you that I’m a Bronze-rank Beast Tamer?”
