Chapter 46: Chapter 46 - What? The Gym Leader is actually at the Legend rank?

In the gym.

Everyone looked at the person in the arena in shock.

“Is he crazy? There really are people who are looking to be tortured. The two people from before didn’t succeed in the challenge previously, yet someone still wants to challenge the Gym Leader?”

“Who knows? Maybe he just came and didn’t watch the two battles just now.”

“That’s not right. He was standing beside me just now. He saw the Gym Leader’s battle. Is he really that strong or is he just trying his luck?”

…

The people in the gym discussed fervently, but no matter how they discussed, none of them felt that the Gym Leader would lose. They had such thoughts just by watching the two battles from before.

However, there was only one person who didn’t think so, and that was Ryder.

This was because it was Giles who had gone up to challenge her.

He had witnessed Giles’ terrifying strength.

In his eyes, with Giles’ strength, it was even possible for him to win the Beast Tamer Friendly Match tomorrow.

Let alone this gym in front of them.

Giles will definitely win.

In the arena, the Gym Leader nodded without saying anything in response to Giles’ challenge.

Seeing this, Giles pondered for a moment before summoning the King Kong Beast.

“Let’s begin, then,” Giles said before commanding the King Kong Beast to begin the battle.

“King Kong Beast, use your innate skill ‘Giantize’.”

The next moment, the King Kong Beast’s body began to grow larger and larger until it was thirty meters tall. Its body emitted a terrifying aura like that of an ancient Godfiend.

Seeing this scene, the people below the arena were also extremely shocked.

“Oh my God, what kind of beast is this? Why is it so terrifying?!”

“I feel like we’re just ants in front of this spirit beast. Can the Gym Leader win?”

“I’m not sure. No wonder he challenged the Gym Leader. With his spirit beast, he might really succeed.”

…

At the same time, the Gym Leader in the arena looked surprised when she saw this scene, but she quickly regained her composure.

“Saber-toothed Tiger, use ‘Speed’.”

Unlike before, the Gym Leader attacked first.

Hearing the order, the Saber-toothed Tiger instantly turned into a blur and charged towards the King Kong Beast.

“Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ‘Diamond Claw’.”

As soon as it reached the King Kong Beast, the Saber-toothed Tiger carried out the command with a fierce gaze in its eyes. Its two front claws were like sharp weapons as it attacked the King Kong Beast.

However, when this attack landed on the King Kong Beast, it only severed a piece of its fur and left a few very shallow wounds on its skin.

“No way, the Saber-toothed Tiger’s attacks are like scratching an itch when they land on its body?”

“The Gym Leader really met her match this time. She might lose.”

“No matter how you look at the previous challenges, they were all Epic-rank spirit beasts. Why is the difference so huge?”

…

Giles heard their discussion but naturally, he wouldn’t explain to them.

After the King Kong Beast used its Giantize innate skill, it would not be as simple as just growing bigger.

Rather, its entire body had become stronger.

Be it defense or speed, they were all greatly enhanced.

This was the reason for this outcome.

It could be said that the King Kong Beast was invincible at the Epic rank.

On the other hand, the Gym Leader was also shocked when she saw the results.

Initially, she thought that even if she might not be able to defeat her opponent right off the bat, she would still be able to injure the King Kong Beast.

She did not expect this situation.

However, she did not give up and commanded the Saber-toothed Tiger to continue attacking.

“Saber-toothed Tiger, use your ‘Diamond Claw’ to attack your opponent continuously.”

Hearing this, the Saber-toothed Tiger immediately obeyed the order and began to leave wounds on the King Kong Beast’s body.

Needless to say, Giles wouldn’t just defend and not attack.

“King Kong Beast, do as you please and defeat your opponent.”

Other than this Giantize innate skill that could increase its combat strength, the King Kong Beast didn’t have any other skills.

After all, to the King Kong Beast, its terrifying strength was sufficient.

In the face of the Saber-toothed Tiger’s continuous attacks, the King Kong Beast appeared to be a little frustrated.

The Saber-toothed Tiger’s entire body was only about three to four meters tall. In the eyes of the King Kong Beast that was over thirty meters tall, it was just a tiny bug.

However, it was this bug that was harassing it incessantly.

This filled the King Kong Beast with rage.

It hammered its chest a few times with its hands, then let out a furious roar as its huge palms grabbed at the Saber-toothed Tiger.

Seeing this, the Saber-Toothed Tiger wanted to use its ‘Speed’ skill to dodge.

However, the King Kong Beast’s speed was extremely fast, in a way that was completely incompatible with its massive body.

In an instant, it grabbed the Saber-toothed Tiger.

“Oh my god, is the Gym Leader going to lose just like that?”

“What other weaknesses does this King Kong Beast have? Its strength, defense, and speed are all at the top. Only a Legend-rank spirit beast can fight against it.”

“I didn’t expect to see the Gym Leader lose today. This is unbelievable.”

…

The crowd was discussing fervently. They all felt that the Gym Leader was about to lose.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as the King Kong Beast was about to teach the Saber-toothed Tiger a lesson, the Saber-toothed Tiger disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Giles saw this too and froze.

Then, something unimaginable happened.

The Saber-toothed Tiger must have deployed some skill as it returned to the Gym Leader’s side.

“Master, I can’t defeat this King Kong Beast with my Epic-rank strength. Do you want me to unleash my strength?”

Upon hearing this, Giles immediately felt like his brain had stopped functioning.

It spoke in human language.

A Legend-rank spirit beast?

Giles couldn’t help but speculate as he looked at the Gym Leader.

“There’s no need, Little Gold.”

The Gym Leader stroked the Saber-toothed Tiger’s head before looking at Giles.

“I didn’t expect to meet an Epic-rank Beast Tamer with such terrifying abilities today. You can actually defeat Little Gold, who is at the Epic rank.”

“You won this challenge. This is the gym’s badge.”

With that, the Gym Leader walked over to Giles and handed him a badge exclusive to Gene Gym.

Giles subconsciously took the badge from her.

“Gym Leader, are you a Legend-rank Beast Tamer?”

Even though it was a question, Giles already knew the answer. He just wanted to make sure.

Hearing Giles’ words, the Gym Leader nodded.

When he saw the Gym Leader confirming that, Giles was still a little shocked even though he had already guessed it.

He had just seen a Legend-rank beast just before this. He did not expect to meet a Legend-rank Beast Tamer today and even challenge her.

Thinking of this, Giles felt like he was dreaming.

At the same time, the people below the arena also saw what was happening in the arena. They immediately went nuts.

“It speaks in human language. That’s a Legend-rank spirit beast. We actually kept challenging a Legend-rank ferocious beast. No wonder we lost!”

“Oh my God, the Gym Leader is actually a Legend-rank Beast Tamer. That’s hard to imagine. No wonder the Gym Leader has never lost.”

“That person actually defeated the Gym Leader. This is unbelievable. Although the Saber-toothed Tiger only used the power of an Epic-rank beast, it is still unbelievable.”

“That’s right. If this person is also participating in the Beast Tamer Friendly Match, it will be interesting to watch tomorrow’s match. I dare to bet that this person definitely has a chance of winning!”
