Chapter 134: Chapter 128: An Extra Senior Brother

Upon hearing the referee’s verdict, David Jones immediately signaled Rainbow to stop attacking.
Seeing this, Rainbow wrapped itself around its Trainer’s arm, confidently bragging.
“Yi!” (—V—)~* (Easily took it down!)
“Yeah, we’re so strong!”
David Jones lovingly stroked Rainbow’s cheek, then planned to leave the Duel Platform.
Gold will always shine, and when he decided to participate in this Trainer Competition, he was prepared for Rainbow’s exposure to the public.
A Rainbow that does not reach the King’s Species Level would probably attract many curious Trainer’s eyes.
But it can’t be avoided!
David Jones did not believe that an outstanding Beast Taming Genius like him within Sunbeam Province would not receive attention and protection from the Guild!
At this point, the battle had ended, but the enraged Three-headed Flame Dragon seemed to be unwilling to give up, its blood-red eyes still staring at Rainbow.
“Enough!” Nixon Lowell commanded with a thought.
The orange glow from his Star Ring flickered, forcibly withdrawing the airborne Three-headed Flame Dragon into his Star Ring.
Since Chairman Woolf, whom he respected, had already determined that the outcome had been decided, continuing to stubbornly persist in the battle would only make the situation even more awkward.
He stood still, exhaling heavily, relieving the pressure in his heart caused by his first-ever defeat.
Then he walked up to David Jones and politely extended his right hand.
“You are very strong, the strongest opponent I have ever encountered. This battle also allowed me to recognize my own shortcomings. Thank you for the lesson.”
For him, failure was not frightening; what was scary was not drawing lessons from failure.
This unexpectedly strong opponent he had encountered might just enable him to shine even brighter under the adversity of failure.
David Jones was slightly taken aback; Nixon’s move left him at a loss!
However, his Psychic Power was particularly outstanding; he could vaguely sense the sincerity of the handsome young man’s words and couldn’t help but feel some goodwill.
It’s easy to say one should not be arrogant in victory nor dejected in defeat, but how many young Trainers could truly achieve this!
“I got lucky with the win – it’s hard to say what the outcome would’ve been if we both gave our all,” David Jones said truthfully.
Although in the previous battle, he had completely gained the upper hand, and the icy cold Frostfall Ashes had even penetrated the Three-headed Flame Dragon’s body, causing severe damage, the outcome really was difficult to predict until the very end.
Rainbow felt a very strong threat from the Three-headed Flame Dragon!
David Jones did not believe that Nixon Lowell’s true strength was limited to this.
“Regardless, a loss is still a loss; luck is also a form of strength,” Nixon Lowell shook his head, obviously disagreeing with David’s statement.
“By the way, could we exchange contact information? As Dragoons, we can share experiences in raising Dragon Pets when we have nothing better to do.” “Of course.”
David Jones did not refuse; he took out his burning hot phone from his pocket and immediately exchanged Q.Chat with Nixon.
“The Three-headed Flame Dragon is badly injured; I need to go treat it. Let’s have another battle next time we have the chance,” Nixon Lowell said with a smile.
“Sounds good.”
As David Jones watched Nixon Lowell leave, he scratched his head in confusion.
Considering his physical fitness, even withstanding the intense heat, he couldn’t help but be covered in sweat, and even his phone almost melted.
So how was it that after the battle, Nixon Lowell’s face was still clean and tidy, without a single drop of sweat?
“You fought very well,” Chairman Woolf, who had walked over, smiled and said.
Considering the strength and potential David Jones and Nixon Lowell just demonstrated, perhaps they could break through the King-tier Trainer level before they turn thirty and even have the chance to advance to the Epic-tier Trainer level in the future.
This exclamation woke David from his thoughts, and looking at the amiable man in front of him, he politely responded,
“You’re too kind, Chairman Woolf.”
Will Woolf didn’t seem to have the airs of a big shot; he chuckled and said, “No need to be modest in front of me, I recognize that Afterglow Array used by Director Hoyle, junior.”
At these words, a spark of enlightenment appeared before David’s eyes.
Junior? Afterglow Array!
Could it be that Chairman Woolf’s alma mater is Rosewood College?
“That’s right, I graduated from Rosewood College in ’96.”
Seeing the surprise on David’s face, Will laughed and handed over a black business card in his hand, “This is my private contact information, in case you encounter any problems and want to communicate with me.”
“Alright, thank you very much, senior.” David politely obliged and took the card with both hands.
The network of contacts in the Flowery Kingdom’s Big Five is indeed strong – even Suntomb City’s Chairman Will Woolf is a part of Rosewood College.
It’s worth noting that Suntomb City is the only Level I city in Sunbeam Province, possessing incredibly rich Beast Taming resources.
As the chairman of Suntomb City’s Trainer Guild, Woolf’s power and influence could only be guessed at.
It seems that his seemingly ordinary master, Director Hoyle, isn’t so simple – he could even attract the attention of Chairman Woolf.
“First place’s reward will be given out tomorrow at the public announcement. If you have any special requests, you can communicate with me in advance,” Woolf said.
“Alright, I understand.” David nodded.
Although the meaning is quite obvious – the reward for first place isn’t fixed and could even be slightly adjusted based on David’s wishes.
It had been mentioned by Guildmaster Maud before that participants who ranked within the top three would automatically get access to the Heritage Relic of Seamus Coldwell. Now it seems the rewards aren’t limited to just that.
Which is normal – how could the reward for the first-place contestant be the same as the ones for the second and third place?
Trainers who had not yet left the scene saw Chairman Woolf talking happily with David, and couldn’t help but show envy on their faces.
Is this the treatment reserved for Beast Taming Geniuses?
Even Epic-tier trainers would see them in a different light!
So admirable!
As for the surrounding envy, David was completely unaware as he slowly walked off the Duel Platform after politely saying goodbye to Chairman Woolf. “When did Rainbow become so strong?” Margaret was full of curiosity and amazement.
Four months ago, when Rainbow was still at Fresh Level X, her Bluny had only been one level lower than Rainbow.
They could still have had a back-and-forth fight for dozens of rounds.
But now, with Bluny’s current strength, she might not even be able to withstand a single move from Rainbow.
It’s worth noting that during this time, Margaret’s Bluny didn’t slack off. Although her power remained at Fresh Level X, she could now defeat middle-level Class I Beasts instead of just lower-level ones.
But after four months, Rainbow’s strength soared to upper-level Class II, even defeating a middle-level Class III Commander-tier Beast.
Such a rapid increase in strength is extremely abnormal and even alters her perceptions!
What kind of rare encounter did David come across during this short four months that he could conjure such a formidable Dragon Pet as the Frost Wyvern?
Are the Beast Tamer resources hidden within Mountain Southshore Dungeon really so terrifying?
“It’s just luck.” David responded with a smile.
No matter what, he could not reveal his Second Talent to others..
