The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth

Rishi had also used the past month to train his contract beasts; he joined a class that taught how to command contract beasts.

His full focus was right now on training Hansi the Firebird and Vakar the Cloud Crane.

Raiden the Lightning Drake had still not reached the Epic Stage, and Rishi was not going to use it.

He wanted to train it as a mount, but the time he had was very short. Because of this, he decided to ask Rohan to train it for him.

Later, he would join some course that taught about fighting with a mountain. Right now, it was not in his plans.

Both Contract Beasts were very strong; however, they were both more or less of the same type.

They dealt magic damage. It had always been a problem. Rihsi liked that, as it helped him fight an army alone.

However, they did not have any advantage while fighting 1 Vs 1 against Contract Beasts of the same level.

The good part was that they were both flying types and could not be easily attacked by my opponents.

Cloud Crane was now more proficient in using cloud manipulation and could use it to create a giant to act as a tank for them.

Hansi could also manage to fight Melle for a while by using her skills like Ice Enhancement and Battle Pheonix Transformation.

However, Rishi still needed to help them gain experience to use their skills effectively and efficiently.

Mana management was also something important for them, other than having to buy battle gear for them.

It was allowed to use gear of the same level as the Contract Beast in the battles.

The battles are also many times used to be 2 Vs 2 format. Rishi had not had any experience commanding two contracted beasts at once while facing another beast tamer.

Good for him. The class he enrolled in was very useful. The professor started with the basics and explained everything in detail.

One more thing he learned was that trainers can't use buff skills. This was weird to him.

However, Rishi had to get used to it as these rules were similar all over the world, even in professional battles.

The use of potions and any other consumables was forbidden.

Other than that, both trainers had to be present inside the battle ring. They could not use any skill to attack.

One of the winning conditions was to make the opposing trainer surrender by capturing him.

This was already too much new stuff for him, but there was one more strange rule: you could only summon one Contract Beast before the start of battle.

At one point, Rishi was considering using Sheru to one-shot all the opposing trainers.

However, he held himself back. It was not a big deal, even if he got first. But if he accidentally revealed the existence of a legendary beast, he would get the attention of legend-grade beast tamers.

It was very hard to find legend-grade magic beasts. It was so rare that some Legend-Stage Beast Cultivators were crazy enough to go to any lengths to get them.

This was because legend-grade wild beasts were always guarded by legend-stage Beast Kings.

It was hopeless, to the point that only someone with a screw loose would try that.

One would either have to be a five-star beast cultivator or the luckiest guy alive to find a legend-grade beast.

If not for this reason, Rishi would have already upgraded his Lightning Drake to Legend Grade.

Time passed by, and he slowly learned how to fight like this. He practiced with opponents in the virtual world.

The virtual world was good for stuff like that. It had been a while since he used it. As his level progressed, it became of less and less use.

However, for practicing how to fight these duels, it was the best place.

Now that he was confident, he started searching for a strong opponent.

He was standing in the battle arena with a black book in his hand and a purple border. Facing him was a masked lady holding her 'Book of Contracts.'

 She had a body younger than even him. She looked at him with her right hand on her back.

"Oh, a new kid. It looks like it will be fun," said the girl while giggling.

It was not hard to know your opponents here, as you have to face rankers. Those that were ranked were pretty famous.

A digit 999 was written above the name of his opponent. Her name was Lilly.

Rishi's strength was measured by Gaya before, and after taking a look at the details, he added that she was selected as his next opponent.

 "Prepare yourself, trainers; the battle is about to begin." A voice could be heard.

"Summon your beasts."

Lilly's book levitated above her hand, and the pages started turning. A golden light was released from it.

What appeared was a triangular portal. After that, a strange black-colored humanoid beast walked out of it.

This creature was seven feet long, with his body covered in light armor made of leather.

It had a tiger-like head with large claws and a fluffy tail. This creature was of a dark color and was releasing a strong presence.

He was wearing brown pants and leather boots at the bottom. There were also strange silver rings around his wrists.

This creature appeared to be of Epic Grade from its presence. That was not all; it also looked to be of a higher level.

Rishi didn't wait and summoned Vakar. A beautiful crane wearing a straw hat appeared on his shoulder.

It looked majestic with its beautiful gray feathers with blue ends. A small cloud rotated it like a star rotates a planet.

"Interesting, Choise," said the girl when she looked at the beast summoned by her opponent.

No one dared to summon a flying type as the first choice, as they were not good at defending the trainer.

The first thing to do in such battles was to dodge the initial attack of the opponent. Her contract, Beast, was very good at ambushing the opponent.

If she was in a bad spot, it was also capable of defending the opponent for some time, so she could summon her second beast.

She was confused about whether her opponent was making a rookie mistake or had something planned.

No matter the case, she was sure she was going to enjoy it.

Many spectators were watching this battle live. Lilly was quite popular on this server.

It was not because of her rank but because of her age and the time it took for her to climb the ranks.
