Chapter 38: Winning the Championship
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the tournament venue.
Silence!
Dead silence!
After what seemed like a long time, the crowd erupted into fierce cries.
“Did I see wrongly?! That Silver-rank spirit beast actually defeated the Epic-rank Shadow Ghoul directly. How is that possible!”
“Oh my God, how could this happen? That Silver-rank spirit beast is too terrifying.”
“Giles is not stupid. His spirit beast actually has such a terrifying skill. This is unbelievable!”
…
The spectators could not believe that Giles had won this round..
However, this was a fact that had already happened. Everyone was unbelievably shocked.
Including Jameson.
At that moment, his face was filled with horror as he stared fixedly at the Silver-rank Little Beetle.
It had defeated his Shadow Ghoul in one blow.
Jameson took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. Then, he looked at Giles.
“I must admit that I have truly underestimated you.”
“In the next two rounds, I will definitely defeat you.”
Giles raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Jameson retrieved the Shadow Ghoul and summoned another Epic-rank spirit beast, the Thunder Pig.
Upon seeing this scene, the spectators began discussing fervently.
“This is Jameson’s other Epic-rank spirit beast. It has high defense and impressive attack power. It’s one of the few thunder-type spirit beasts.”
“I wonder if Giles will still use that Silver-rank spirit beast?”
“You must be kidding. Can such a terrifying light skill be used indefinitely?”
…
If Giles could hear them, he would definitely agree with them.
This was because the Little Beetle’s Super Atomic Ray could not be used continuously. It could only be used once a day. If it was overused, it would cause irreversible damage to the Little Beetle itself.

Needless to say, Giles wouldn’t let it battle again.
Instead, he continued to summon the King Kong Beast.
“King Kong Beast, go and fight to your heart’s content!”

As soon as it came out, the King Kong Beast immediately used its Giantize innate skill, and its body quickly reached a terrifying thirty meters.
Jameson’s Thunder Pig was only three to four meters long.
In comparison, it was like a rock beside the King Kong Beast’s feet.
Even though Jameson knew how terrifying the King Kong Beast was, he did not give up. One would only know the outcome after trying.
Just then, Giles commanded the King Kong Beast to attack.
“King Kong Beast, defeat your opponent and let us win the championship!”
When the King Kong Beast heard this, it immediately charged towards the Thunder Pig.
Jameson saw this but did not panic.
“Thunder Pig, use your innate skill ‘Body of Thunder and Lightning’!”
The next moment, the Thunder Pig’s entire body began to emit a violent lightning radiance which spread throughout its entire body before gradually growing larger. In the end, it actually turned into a humongous monster made of lightning and thunder, comparable to the King Kong Beast.
Upon seeing this, Giles’ eyes narrowed.
He knew that he had met his match this time.
On the battlefield, the King Kong Beast had already collided with the Thunder Pig.
Without saying anything, the two of them engaged in a battle. The King Kong Beast’s fists struck the Thunder Pig’s body, and every punch would cause a flash of lightning to fly out.
The Thunder Pig didn’t care about the King Kong Beast’s attacks at all. Its body continued to emit lightning and thunder as it struck the King Kong Beast.
For a period of time, both sides were evenly matched.
“Giles’ King Kong Beast has met its match. I didn’t expect Jameson’s Thunder Pig to have such a terrifying innate skill.”
“That’s right. How can it be that those who make it to the finals don’t have some abilities?”
“Jameson cannot lose this match. His hopes of winning are all pinned on this Thunder Pig.”
…
In the arena.
The King Kong Beast was still fighting with the Thunder Pig.
From time to time, lightning bolts would shoot out from the Thunder Pig’s body, but the King Kong Beast didn’t care.
It only had one goal, and that was to win!
One had to know that in King Kong’s story, it had killed many terrifying strange beasts.
This thing before its eyes was nothing.
Therefore, it has to win!
The King Kong Beast roared and charged towards the Thunder Pig again.
Even though there were wounds on its body, it did not care.
It punched the Thunder Pig again and again, causing sparks of lightning to fly out. The Thunder Pig’s body also began to shrink.
When Jameson saw this scene, his expression changed drastically.
He did not expect that even after using his trump card, the Thunder Pig, he still could not defeat his opponent.
Jameson’s heart was filled with bitterness as he looked at the King Kong Beast that was comparable to a Godfiend.
He knew he was going to lose.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t strong, but that his opponent was simply too strong.
The Thunder Pig’s innate skill, ‘Body of Thunder and Lightning’, had a time limit. It could only last for five minutes.
However, three minutes had already passed, yet it still hadn’t won.
The outcome was obvious.
True enough, after a while, the thunder and lightning on the Thunder Pig’s body slowly dissipated, revealing the exhausted Thunder Pig inside.
“I lost.”
Jameson gave Giles a long look before throwing out these words and leaving the arena with the Thunder Pig.
Silence!
Dead silence!
At that moment, there was no sound from the tens of thousands of people in the arena.
The eerie silence made one feel apprehensive!
The finals ended just like that?
Jameson… lost?
Giles… won?
Even though there were people who thought that Giles could win the championship, now that it had become reality, it felt like a dream.
After all, many people had thought that Jameson would be the champion. They even thought that Jameson was already the champion.
Yet now, Giles had emerged and won the championship!
For a while, many people could not react.
Not only the audience, but the commentator was also stunned.
He only regained his senses when a staff member touched him lightly.
“Giles won!”
“I hereby announce that the champion of this Gym Tournament is…!”
“Giles from Starlux Gym!”
“Giles… Giles… Giles…”
Following the commentator’s announcement, an unimaginable cheer erupted in the silent arena.
Terrifying sound waves reverberated in all directions, ringing in the ears of countless people.
However, no one cared.
At that moment, everyone was cheering for Giles!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless streamers exploded in the air, further fueling the atmosphere in the venue to its peak.

Jameson, who was a distance away, glanced over his shoulder. Then, he turned around and left.
All of this had nothing to do with him.
This was a celebration for the champion.
…
Yorkshire City, Hengduan Mountain Range.
Alice returned to the campsite, exhausted.
Today, she was ambushed by the Beast Blood Sect and almost died. Fortunately, the reinforcements from the Beast Tamer Association arrived in the nick of time.
“The person who sent reinforcements told me that the results of the Gym Tournament are out.”
“What? Which Gym won first place?”
“It must be the Flange Gym. They’re the host, and their strength is not bad. They’re also the champions of the previous tournament.”
“The Flange Gym won’t make it. I’m guessing it’s the Frank Gym. Their Anna is a ruthless character. That girl goes out into the wilderness every day to hunt ferocious beasts. I am also inferior to her.”
“In my opinion, it must be the Bruce Gym. I heard that they have a genius Beast Tamer who became an Epic-rank Beast Tamer at the age of 18.”
“Nope, you’re all wrong.”
When Alice heard this, she also became a little curious. The gyms mentioned above were all gyms that had high hopes of winning the championship this year, yet none of them had won the championship. In that case, which gym was the final champion?
“Hehe, you guys will never guess it!”
“The champion is Starlux Gym.”
“What? Could it be that Gold-rank Beast Tamer you mentioned previously?”
“Yes, oh, that’s not right. He’s an Epic-rank Beast Tamer now. One of his Gold-rank spirit beasts broke through to the Epic rank during the competition.”
“By the way, Alice, I heard that your gym is called Starlux Gym. Can it be your gym?”
Alice immediately denied it, “No one from my gym is participating in the Gym Tournament. It’s definitely not my gym.”
“It’s probably just the same name then.”
That person didn’t think too much about it. After all, gyms were everywhere these days, so it was normal to have the same name.

Alice affirmed that and said, “Right, it’s definitely just the same name.”
