Chapter 28: News of the Gym Tournament, The Birth of the Stone Monkey
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Inside the Starlux Gym.
The air seemed to have frozen.
Henry looked at the corpses and then at the King Kong Beast. His eyes were filled with fear.
At this moment, the King Kong Beast was ten meters tall. Like a Godfiend, its entire body emitted a terrifying aura.
Recalling his previous thoughts, Henry shuddered.
Previously, I actually wanted to challenge Giles…
At that moment, Henry wished he could leave as soon as possible so that he could stay far away from Giles in the future.
.
Except, on the other side, Giles suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Henry with a faint smile dancing on his lips.
“Do you still want to challenge me?”
Henry shook his head vigorously.
Giles smiled at the sight.
After a while…
Riding his Epic-rank spirit beast, Fiery Bird, Rex arrived at the gym.
“Giles, are you okay?” Rex asked hurriedly.
Then, he saw the corpses of the Beast Blood Sect’s members on the ground.
Despite being aware of Giles’ abilities, Rex was still shocked.
Although he knew that the Beast Blood Sect could not do anything to Giles, it was still shocking to see Giles annihilate everyone from the Beast Blood Sect within such a short span of time.
“Rex, you’re here. You can handle the rest.”
Giles pointed to the bodies on the floor.
Hearing that, Rex put his thoughts aside and turned extremely serious.
The Beast Blood Sect actually appeared in Yin City.
He was the Commander of the City Guards.
He had to find out the reason for their appearance and eliminate them.
As he was thinking this, the City Guards also rushed over.
They had just arrived when they saw the corpses of the Epic-rank ferocious beasts on the ground. They gasped and looked at Rex in shock.
“I can’t believe Sir Rex is so powerful. He killed the members of the Beast Blood Sect so quickly.”
“Yeah, what’s more, the other party are Epic-rank beasts. I think Sir Rex is about to break through to become a Legend-rank Beast Tamer.”
“Could he have already achieved a breakthrough? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?”
“Look at that gorilla spirit beast. It must be the Epic-rank spirit beast that Sir Rex just contracted. It seems to be reaching the Legend rank soon.”
…
Rex blushed when he heard these words.
“What nonsense are you guys spouting? This is all Giles’ doing.”
Upon hearing this, the soldiers stared at Giles in shock.
After all, in their eyes, Giles was just an ordinary Gold-rank Beast Tamer.
Yet now, he had actually killed a few Epic-rank ferocious beasts from the Beast Blood Sect. It was unbelievable.
However, the next moment, the King Kong Beast’s body became smaller, and then it went straight to Giles.
The soldiers were dumbfounded.
They did not expect this terrifying spirit beast to be Giles. Seeing how young Giles looked and how he already had the strength of an Epic-rank beast, they all clicked their tongues.
At the same time, while they were in shock, Giles had already told Rex the purpose of the Beast Blood Sect’s visit.
“For that stone beast?”
Rex’s brows knitted together.
“After this, I’m going to investigate the Beast Blood Sect in the city. Don’t let your guard down for the time being,” Rex instructed Giles.
Then, he saw Henry standing not far away.
“Henry, the son of the President of the Langtry Chamber of Commerce?”
“Why is he here?”
“Is he with the Beast Blood Sect?”
Henry hurriedly explained, “Sir Rex, I’m a good person. I have nothing to do with them!”
Rex’s brows furrowed.
“Regardless of whether you’re related to them or not, you have to come with me first.”
Upon hearing this, Henry was on the verge of tears. He initially wanted to teach Giles a lesson.
Unexpectedly, he was now about to get himself dragged in.
Hearing Rex’s words, Giles looked at Henry.
The Langtry Chamber of Commerce was second only to the Spirit Beast Chamber of Commerce. No wonder Henry wanted to court Elena.
However, that had nothing to do with Giles.
Rex ordered his men to carry away the bodies of the Beast Blood Sect members. He then left Starlux Gym after bidding Giles goodbye.
“Looks like the days ahead won’t be peaceful.”
Giles thought about his experiences over the past few days. Then, he returned to his quarters.
He wanted to rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, a group of spirit beast cubs ran over and gathered by his side, staring at him.
It was obvious that they wanted him to tell them a story.
Giles sighed helplessly.
“Alright, I’ll tell you a story now.”
“Let me think about what story I should tell you.”
Giles pondered for a moment.
“I’ll tell you this story then.”
Giles thought of the famous story from the huge country in the East in his previous life, Journey to the West.
There were many chapters in this story.
It was enough to deal with these spirit beasts for a long time.
Then, under the expectant gazes of the spirit beasts, Giles slowly started speaking.
“The main character of this story is a monkey. No, to be more precise, it’s a stone.”
“Amidst the endless sea is a country called Aolai Country. There is a mountain nearby called the Flower Fruit Mountain.”
“At the highest point of this mountain, there is a stone that absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon every day.”
“On this day, the stone suddenly cracked and turned into a monkey that roamed around the forest.”
…
This story was far from what the previous stories could compare with. The spirit beasts listened in fascination.
They were surprised that the rock had turned into a monkey, and their eyes were filled with shock.
Giles’ story continued.
“The monkey became the king of the monkeys and was called the Monkey King.”
“On this day, in order to seek the way to Longevity, the monkey planned to go out to sea to search for Immortals and seek the powers of immortals.
“In the end, he came to the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars and became the disciple of Patriarch Subodhi. He was given the name ‘Sun Wukong’ and began to learn the power of immortals.”
The scene changed.
All the spirit beasts saw that the Monkey King, who was called Sun Wukong, started to train his powers.
With a single leap, it could travel thousands of miles.
It could change its appearance instantly by using his powers.
The spirit beasts listened in fascination.
They were extremely envious of Sun Wukong’s ability.
On the other hand, while Giles was narrating, he noticed that there were no spirit beasts that resonated with the story.
Could it be that this story did not match them??Giles thought to himself.
Suddenly, he realized that a stone in the spirit-beast section was shaking.
It was the stone beast that Giles had brought back. It was also the target of the Beast Blood Sect.
Does it resonate with this story?
Giles sensed his own spiritual power and discovered that the beast’s spiritual power had entered the story world. As he narrated, it experienced Sun Wukong’s story.
“Sun Wukong learned skills that allowed him to go up to heaven or down to Hades. Then, he returned to Flower Fruit Mountain.”
Giles stopped there.
“There’s more, but I’ll tell you guys tomorrow.”
It was getting dark. Giles stopped his narrative. Then, he approached the stone beast curiously and examined it.
What will this thing evolve into?
Will it jump out of a rock like Sun Wukong?
Giles thought to himself.
However, Giles didn’t think too much about it. Giles got the Three-headed Hellhound to guard this place before going to sleep.
Late at night.
Following a slight sound, a crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the rock.
The Three-Headed Hellhound heard the sound and looked around warily.
After finding nothing strange, it lay on the ground and closed its eyes again.
As for that stone ferocious beast, an indescribable change began to occur within it.
Yin City.
After Giles had annihilated the members of the Beast Blood Sect, Rex also began to thoroughly investigate the members of the Beast Blood Sect who were in the city. Within a short period, he actually found many strongholds of the Beast Blood Sect, and then directly uprooted them.
Meanwhile, because of Henry, many people in Yin City became aware of the process of Giles’ annihilation of the Beast Blood Sect.
In the end, the rumors became more and more ridiculous. They actually said that Starlux Gym had a Legend-rank Beast Tamer, which was why Starlux Gym could avert the crisis.
This caused many people to run to Starlux Gym, wanting to see that Legend-rank Beast Tamer.
Giles took a long time to explain before they left.
Giles didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this, but he was also relieved.
After all, the Beast Blood Sect had targeted him previously.
At the very least, he didn’t have to worry about them for the time being.
Giles wasn’t afraid, but it was still troublesome.
At this moment, he was evaluating Alina’s sister, Annie, to be a Gold-rank Beast Tamer.
Her Silver-rank Green-tailed Cat had already advanced to the Gold rank.
A while later…
As the Swan Beast activated its Wind Wings skill, a violent gale swept across the entire arena.
Annie’s Green-tailed Cat was defeated.
However, she had also passed the Gold-rank Beast Tamer evaluation.
Of course, this was because Giles did not get serious.
The Swan Beast did not use its innate skill, Wings Transformation.
After using Wings Transformation, the Swan Beast’s battle prowess would instantly soar.
It could even reach the strength of an Epic-rank spirit beast.
This was something that no one could stop.
He got off the arena.
Alina rubbed Annie’s head.
“Annie is also a Gold-rank Beast Tamer now. Not bad.”
Annie said nothing. She cautiously glanced at Giles, then quickly turned her gaze away.
Seeing this, Alina’s eyes darted between Giles and Annie.
She felt like her sister was falling for Giles.
Although it was just a speculation, the sixth sense that girls had made her firmly believe in this matter.
At this thought, Alina suddenly felt a sense of dejection.
However, she relaxed soon after. After all, she would not be able to live for long.
“Legend-rank Beast Tamer, Master Giles, seems like the Gym Tournament is coming up in a few days. Now that Gym Leader Alice is not around, are you going to participate?”Alina went over to Giles and joked.
Upon hearing this, Giles scratched his head.
“What Legend-rank Beast Tamer? It’s just a rumor.”
“And what’s that about the Gym Tournament? Isn’t the Gym Tournament a few months away?”
Alina looked surprised to hear this.
“The Gym Tournament has been brought forward. You actually didn’t know?”
Upon hearing this, Giles smiled awkwardly.
“I really didn’t notice that. If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have missed it.”
“Although Gym Leader Alice isn’t here, I still have to participate.”
The Gym Tournament.
It was a tournament between gyms in the region.
Although it was supposed to be for exchange of experience between the gyms in name, in actuality, it was for the sake of competing for the resources allocated by the Beast Tamer Association.
As official organizations under the Beast Tamer Association, the resources for each Beast-taming gym were all distributed by the Beast Tamer Association.
However, this couldn’t possibly be divided equally, and it was determined by the rankings of the gyms.
Thus, during the Gym Tournament that was held once every three years, all the gyms worked hard to fight for a good ranking.
This year, Gym Leader Alice was not around, so only Giles could attend.
However, as Giles looked at the few spirit beasts he had contracted, he was filled with confidence.
After returning from Grant Forest, Giles had bought a lot of resources that the spirit beasts needed to evolve.
His spirit beasts had also made significant improvements.
After chatting for a while, Alina received a message and left with Annie.
Giles reached the spirit-beast section and scrutinised the stone beast.
Ever since he told the spirit beasts the story of the Great Sage Sun Wukong, this stone beast had resonated with the story.
However, a day had already passed, but apart from a tiny crack on the surface, there was still no movement.
Could this be the uniqueness of a quasi Legend-rank beast?
Had he not clearly sensed that this beast had resonated with the story, Giles would have thought that his story was ineffective against this beast.
Giles was not worried that this beast would harm him after its evolution.
This was because Giles had found some information on this kind of ferocious beast ever since he came back.
It was a rare stone beast.
When it was young, it would be in the shape of a stone. After it grew up, it would transform into a random shape of a ferocious beast. It was a very magical ferocious beast.
When it received fatal damage, a piece of stone would break away from its body.
This stone was equivalent to a descendant.
Therefore, he was facing a ferocious beast cub.
Giles felt that he could handle it.
While Giles was thinking this, the numerous spirit beasts had already arrived beside him.
They looked at him eagerly and pestered him to tell them stories.
Moreover, they had explicitly asked to hear the story of the Great Sage Sun Wukong.
This story was different from other stories. It was very long.
This caused the spirit beasts to look forward to the continuation of the story.
Giles looked at them resignedly.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll tell you a story right now.”
With that said, Giles cast a glance at the stone spirit beast before continuing his story.
“After Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, he learned of the miserable state of the monkeys and came straight to the cave of the Demon King of Confusion.
“Facing Sun Wukong, who was full of immortal powers, the Demon King of Confusion was defeated by Sun Wukong.”
“After that, Sun Wukong unified Flower Fruit Mountain and became known as the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal!”
“But this action attracted the Heavenly Court’s attention.”
…
The story continued, and as it did, Giles noticed the unusual changes of the stone beast.
At that moment, inside that stone, a blurry consciousness began to gradually strengthen.
It felt like it had arrived in a strange world.
It had lived in a small space since its birth.
It wanted to break out of this place.
It wanted to see the outside world.
Finally, one day, it broke out of the shell that was wrapped around it.
It jumped out and curiously observed the outside world.
It came to the lake and saw itself. It was a monkey.
It joined the group of monkeys and became the Monkey King.
It wanted to live forever, so it came to a place called the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars to seek immortality.
It learned its abilities and could transform into anything.
…
Just like that, it became the Sun Wukong in the story and experienced everything Sun Wukong went through first hand.
“Sun Wukong single-handedly attacked the Heavenly Court. He was unstoppable!”
“Even the Master of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, was knocked off his throne by Sun Wukong.”
“This was the most glorious moment in Sun Wukong’s life!”
…
Giles stopped there and ended the story.
There wasn’t any story of Sun Wukong in this world, so he could stop here.
In Giles’ view, this was the most memorable moment in Sun Wukong’s life, but what awaited him was endless suffering, so it was better not to tell this group of spirit beasts.
At the same time, just after Giles ended the story, the stone beast’s consciousness had already left the world of stories.
It felt something restraining it.
It thought of the experiences in the story world.
It wanted to break through the restraints.
As this thought appeared in its mind, the stone’s exterior began to crack open.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the stone exploded and a monkey with yellow fur jumped out.
