Chapter 30: The Beginning of the Gym Tournament
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Inside the Starlux Gym.
Giles wasn’t aware of the Gym Leader Alice’s reaction.
At that moment, he was staring at the spirit beast in front of him.
It was a monkey that was about a meter tall.
“Master, why are you staring at me?”
Upon hearing this, Giles fell silent.
This monkey had popped out of that rock.
As soon as it came out, it established a contract with Giles.
.
At the same time, unlike other spirit beasts, this spirit beast knew how to talk the moment it came out.
At first, Giles thought that it had directly evolved into a Legend-rank beast.
This was because spirit beasts could only speak the human language after evolving to the Legend rank.
However, only after Giles carefully sensed it did he realize that the monkey in front of him was only at the Gold rank.
However, the strength of this spirit beast could not be underestimated.
There was a tremendous amount of power hidden within its small body. It was not at all disadvantaged even when facing the King Kong Beast.
Other than that, it also awakened two innate skills.
Form Transformation: Can transform into any form

Somersault Cloud: Travel extremely quickly in the designated direction

The ‘Form Transformation’ skill was equivalent to Sun Wukong’s 72 Transformations. He could change into any appearance he had ever seen, and could also transform into a human form.
On the other hand, Somersault Cloud was rather formidable as well, and it was equivalent to teleportation. Even though the distance travelled wasn’t very far, when paired with its terrifying strength, it was sufficient to exert a great deal of power.

It could only be said that it was indeed a ferocious beast that was about to evolve to the Legend rank.

He looked at the few spirit beasts that he had contracted.
Giles was filled with confidence about the upcoming Gym Tournament.
With the extraordinary abilities of these few spirit beasts, no one below the Legend rank was their match!

Giles’ lips curved in an expectant smile.
“I can’t wait for the Gym Tournament.”

…
The next day.
The Gym Tournament began as scheduled.
The tournament was held in a city next to Yin City, Flange City.
As the central city of Florida, every Gym Tournament was held here.

Giles rode the swan beast early in the morning and left the gym to rush to the tournament venue in Flange City.
Beside him was a five or six year old child whom Sun Wukong had transformed into.
Sun Wukong was the name of that monkey spirit beast. It had strongly requested for that, so Giles let it be.
The people of Flange City were very enthusiastic about this tournament.
At this moment, the road from Felan City to the competition grounds became unusually crowded. Almost everyone in the city was rushing towards the competition grounds.
Fortunately, Giles was flying in the air, so he didn’t have to deal with the packed crowd.
Arriving at the perimeter of the venue, Giles found that the place was completely surrounded.
A sea of people greeted his eyes.
Giles was surprised to see this.
Unexpectedly, it was even more popular than the previous Gym Tournament.
However, this was normal as it was a Gym Tournament that was held once every three years.

Although it was only a battle between gyms, every tournament was an eye-opener, so it was not surprising for it to have such influence.
Bearing the proof of his gym, Giles was ushered to the preparation area of the tournament venue by the staff.
At that moment, quite a number of gyms had already arrived.
With the arrival of these people, the originally quiet tournament preparation area instantly became lively.
The hall was filled with noisy chatter.
Giles also studied the people around him. After all, these people were his opponents on this trip.
Just then, two people from the gyms caught Giles’ attention.
They were the Ireland Gym and the Victor Gym.
The reason why he noticed them was because these two gyms were enemies of Starlux Gym.

From the time of the previous gym leader until now, there would always be friction with these two gyms during the Gym Tournaments.
As time passed, every Gym Tournament would be full of open fighting and covert maneuvers, resulting in the three gyms fighting for real.
In this Gym Tournament, Giles was certain that these two gyms would definitely not let him off.
Sure enough, just as Giles was thinking this, the person from Ireland Gym was momentarily stunned when he saw Giles. Then, he laughed.
That person then walked over to the member from the Victor Gym and pointed to Giles as he said something. After which, they both burst out laughing.
Subsequently, the two of them started walking towards Giles.
Upon seeing this, Giles’ brows knitted together.
The man from the Ireland Gym walked over to Giles and said, “Giles, where’s your gym leader? Why isn’t she here?”
“That’s right, I remember that you can only control bronze-rank spirit beasts. Are you representing Starlux Gym in the tournament?”
“You brought a child to the tournament? Are you here on vacation?”
2
Giles did not take what he heard to heart at all.
Giles recognized the two people in front of him. They were disciples of their gyms and were Epic-rank Beast Tamers.
When he came with Gym Leader Alice for the previous tournament, they were the ones who had participated in the tournament. In the end, Alice had taught them a good lesson.
Now that Gym Leader Alice could not make it back, they naturally came to mock Giles, who in their eyes, could only contract Bronze-rank spirit beasts.
Seeing that Giles was ignoring them, the two men’s faces darkened. Then, they smiled sinisterly and said, “Hmph, see you in the arena.”
“See you in the arena? He’s probably going to be eliminated in the first round.”
Giles smiled faintly.
“I’ll see you in the arena.”
Seeing this, the two of them snorted and left.
At this moment, there were already contestants entering the venue.
The commentator announced the contestants’ gyms and their names.
The cheers from the audience grew louder.
“The next to enter is Jameson from the Bruce Gym!”
As soon as the commentator finished his sentence, the audience erupted into an uproar.
“Jameson? The genius who advanced to become an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18?”
2
“I didn’t expect him to be the one competing for Bruce Gym.”
…
Everyone in the audience looked at the figure on the stage with fervent eyes that were filled with envy.
He became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18. His future was limitless.
As the commentator continued to announce the names of the contestants and their gym, the audience’s enthusiasm grew!
“Robert! The pride of Flange Gym. It’s said that he became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer a year ago.”
“Anna from Frank Gym has hunted ferocious beasts in the wilderness numerous times and is extremely experienced in combat. It is said that she has also become an Epic-rank Beast Tamer.”

“I didn’t expect the strength of the gyms participating in this tournament to be so powerful.”
“Yeah, even Gold-rank Beast Tamers aren’t good enough.”
“That’s right. If one only has the ability of a Gold rank, there’s really no need to participate in the tournament.”
…
When the audience saw the contestants from the various gyms, they began discussing.
This was because this batch of young Beast Tamers was much stronger than the previous batch.
The audience could not help but be curious.
In this Gym Tournament, which gym will have the last laugh?
