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 flashing 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 exhilarated 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 Camilla, 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 flashing across his eyes, Giles, who had come 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 become 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 any combat techniques, he could still rely on his random commands 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 during competitive 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 assimilation of skills of spirit beast cubs by telling them stories. But I’m determined to become 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, Camilla.

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 accordingly.

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 becoming 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 assimilation 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 penetrating 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 pain coming 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 much larger 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 claws were glimmering with a sharp and cold glow.

Although the Little Golden Eagle’s appearance had changed drastically from before, Giles had still exchanged glances 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 successfully 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 balance 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!”
