Chapter 686 Battle Of The Beasts
"Nod"
Hearing his mother's words, Leo's heart warmed as he nodded his head without saying anything.
For now, Leo didn't want to reveal his real information to anyone as he wanted to give a pleasant surprise to his family members and a shock to the entire world.
Time continued to pass as one youngster after another placed their hands on the awakening stone and let the old man register the details.
"It's David's turn."
"I wonder what beast he formed a contract with."
"Since he awakened a high-level beast tamer's talent, he must have formed a contract with a high-class beast."
Soon, the Stormrider Family members became excited.
Compared to looking forward to seeing Leo's information, they were more excited to see David's information thanks to his high-level beast-tamer talent.
….
Name: David.
Beast Tamer's Talent: Beast Summoning (High-level)
Strength: Level 1 Silver Grade.
Contracted Beasts:
1) Wind Griffin (High-class), level 5 Bronze Grade, Bonding Number: 79.
2) Zephyr Wolf (High-class), level 1 Silver Grade, Bonding Number: 90.
….
Soon, the Awakening Stone projected information about David that shocked the entire crowd.
Not only did David break through to the Silver Grade, but he also formed a contract with a second beast.
"It looks like this year, the Stormrider Family got one good seedling."
"Yeah"
The other family elders who were accompanying their youngsters for the Awakening Ceremony, could not help but get jealous of the Stormrider Family because of David.
Even though David was a single person, they could tell that he has a good potential to become a Platinum Grade Beast Tamer and there were even chances of him entering the Diamond Grade…if he matured without getting killed in the middle.
"It looks like Heavens are helping my Stormrider Family."
Uncle Grey and the other older generation men became excited to see David's information and thanked Heavens whereas the youngsters in the family except for Leo were a little jealous.
Nevertheless, they also knew it was a good thing for a family to have another good seedling that could become a powerhouse in the future.
"Young man, you must have a good fortuitous encounter inside the Beast Sanctuary for you to break into the Silver Grade."
The old man was also surprised; however, he was not shocked much because he knew what the Beast Sanctuary was capable of.
There were many good fruits and treasures that could increase the strength of any new Beast Tamer to become a level 1 Gold Grade Beast Tamer.
Since David was only able to become a Level 1 Silver Grade Beast Tamer, he was not surprised much as he said, "Since you have already formed a contract with your second beast, you will be allowed to enter the Beast Sanctuary only after you become a Gold Grade Beast Tamer."
Whenever a Beast Tamer progresses to the next grade, the Beast Tamer God's Temple would allow them to enter the Beast Sanctuary to form a contract with a single beast.
However, David was able to increase his strength to Silver Grade and even formed a contract with a beast from the Beast Sanctuary in a single go.
Hence, he was not allowed to enter the Beast Sanctuary anymore until he became a Gold Grade Beast Tamer.
"However, you will be rewarded with a special gift for your achievement of forming a second contract with a beast from the Beast Sanctuary."
After saying that, the old man snapped his fingers as a small silver-coloured orb appeared in his hand.
"This level 5 Silver Grade Tamer's Essence Orb will be your special gift."
It was also in the rule that the gatekeeper has to give a special gift for youngsters like David who won't enter the Beast Sanctuary for their Promotion Chance.
"Tamer's Essence Orb? Thank you, Sir."
David hurriedly took the essence orb and thanked the old man because he knew how valuable it was for a recently promoted Silver Grade Beast Tamer.
'Since it is a level 5 Silver Grade Tamer's Essence Orb, I will become a level 3 Silver Grade Beast Tamer after completely absorbing the energy from it.'
David's hands were shaking with excitement as he could not wait to start absorbing the Essence Orb in his hand to increase his Beast Tamer's Rank.
"Also, with your strength, I think you can participate in the [Battle of the Beasts] in the coming month."
The old man didn't forget to inform David about a contest hosted by the Beast Tamer God's Temple and asked David to participate in it.
"As long as you are in the top 100, you will receive some good rewards that would make you a lot stronger in your generation of Beast Tamers."
"I will definitely participate in it, Sir."
David controlled his excitement as he nodded his head because the moment he became a Silver Grade Beast Tamer, David had already started planning that [Battle of the Beasts] conquest.
Battle of the Beasts, as the name of the conquest suggests, is a contest where the contracted beasts of the Beast Tamers will fight one another and be ranked accordingly.
It is a conquest for all the youngsters in the world below the age of 18 and most of the participants would be Silver Grade.
Hence, the old man suggested David participate in it and David agreed to it without any hesitation.
"Even the other youngsters could participate in it; however, it is better to have a strength of at least Silver Grade before you apply for the conquest."
The old man nodded his head at David and looked at the other youngsters and continued saying, "Of course, it is not easy to qualify even with a level 1 Silver Grade strength; however, it would give you quite a good experience. So, work hard and increase your strength to the Silver Grade to get the qualifications to enter the conquest."
"You can leave now."
After saying those words, the old man asked everyone to leave as he went back to his resting chair and rested his back against it.
"That brat who formed a contract with a Space Moon Hound…why can't I see through his Tamer's Space?"
Looking at Leo's silhouette, the old man silently thought in his head as he muttered, 'Keep an eye on David and Leo.'
