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, their combat 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 Tamer come to Eugene City?
At that moment, they had already regarded Giles as their greatest enemy in the competition 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.”
Giles laughed 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 the command, 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 had come 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 too late.
The Saber-toothed Tiger quickly arrived beside the Golden-eyed Lion and stretched out its two sharp front claws.
Skill: Diamond Claw, activated.
A few streaks of cold light flashed. A number of wounds appeared on the Golden-eyed Savage Lion’s body. It collapsed 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 outcome.
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 of laughter.”
…
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 glanced at the badge in Ryder’s hand.
It was indeed the badge of the Gene Gym.
Then, he glared at Giles and Ryder with venom in his eyes.
Then, he left the place.
“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 the competition 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 related to the wild ferocious beasts outside the city.”
