1 41-45
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.

Occasionally, 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 delay your search for the Dragon Blood Grass?"
Giles broke the silence.
"There won't be any delay, because that stalk of Dragon Blood Grass is one of the prizes for this Beast Tamer Friendly Match. My father has already communicated 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 to communicate 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 Beast landed 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 black, 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 glances 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 while later, 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 annihilated 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 human language 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 enlarged and its body became unbelievably huge, comparable 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 it landed 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 particular, 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 exclaimed, 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 explain. 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!In the Solomon Mountain Range.
Giles commanded his spirit beasts to massacre the Beast Blood Sect.
Soon, the Beast Blood Sect was completely annihilated.

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 accepted this calmly. He could accept 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 explained, "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 calamity."
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 villains," Ryder said.
Upon hearing this, Giles stroked the little fox in his arms and placed 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 to laugh or cry.
Just then…
"Don't worry, I won't treat good people as villains. 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."
"Please come 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 glanced 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 glanced around.
If he did not know beforehand, it would be very difficult to imagine that this was the home of a ferocious beast.
This place 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 moment later, Giles nodded and acceded to the woman's request.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 accede.
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 city later," 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 gaze landed 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 annihilated 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 also come 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's combat 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, it commanded 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 terrifying combat 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 flames burning on the Three-Headed Hellhound instantly erupted, and then turned into a black-glow barrier that enveloped Giles and the others.
Some ferocious beasts managed to get past the King Kong Beast and Sun Wukong and launched 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 the last 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 black barrier, any ferocious beasts that approached them rapidly collapsed 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 succeed 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 been completely 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 already landed 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.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 never come 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 plans 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 one last look at the Little Fox. Her eyes were filled with reluctance but she still left in a flash.
When the Little Fox saw this, it scratched Giles' chest a few times with its claws 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 successfully 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 until later 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 becoming 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 occurred 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 explained 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 the competition venue.
"That's a coincidence. Giles is also participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match. When the time comes, 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 successfully 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 the competition to begin.Eugene City in Maryland 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 become an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at a young age and was qualified to participate in the competition.
Without stopping for long, Giles led the group to search for a hotel.
The competition 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 explained 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, Flange Gym in Flange 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 in combat. 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 to commit 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 glance.
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 the command of the young man named York, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros' horn emitted a thunderbolt that shot towards the Saber-toothed Tiger.
The Gym Leader remained composed and commanded the Saber-toothed Tiger to successfully dodge the attack.
After that, the Gym Leader's counterattack ensued.
"Saber-toothed Tiger, use your 'Speed' skill."
"Saber-toothed Tiger, use your 'Diamond Claw' 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 flash 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 outcome of this battle would depend on whether he could hold up against this attack.
A cold gleam flashed across the Saber-toothed Tiger's eyes. Then, it quickly arrived beside the Silver-horned Rhinoceros.
The next moment, it extended its sharp claws.
Then, under York's shocked gaze, it broke the Thunderbolt Shield in front of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros and landed on the Rhinoceros' body.
The Silver-Horned Rhinoceros let out a deep cry and collapsed 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 successfully 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 claws 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 outcome 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."
