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

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

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-tier combative 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 extremely large population, ninety percent of them were still stuck at the Silver rank and could not advance any further.

In order to attract more people to become Gold-rank Beast Tamers, the Beast Tamer Association made such a rule.

The salary was not low and was enough to cover the expenses of a family.

Although it wasn’t enough for Giles to replace the protective barrier in the dojo, 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 while later, 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.

The last 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 not come 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 ablaze with flames.

…

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 had completed their evaluation and were waiting for their last companion.

They all looked over when they saw Giles approaching.

After all, this was the place 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 place?”

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 place, 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 had communicated 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 will last?”

“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 before coming over to be evaluated. Even so, it only lasted 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 already commanded the spirit beast to attack.

“Swift Shadow Wolf, use your ‘Shadow Stealth’ skill .”

Immediately, wisps of black mist appeared on the Swift Shadow Wolf’s body. Then, it disappeared.

When it appeared again, it would definitely launch a fatal blow.

Giles understood that, but he didn’t panic.

“Swan Beast, use Wind Wings.”

The Swan Beast quickly flapped 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 salary 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 its combat 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 and completely 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 only lasted 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 salary 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.
