The venue is at their Training Ground. The duel will be held tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Training Ground has a huge expanse of land. The Beast Tamer and the lifeline beast can fully utilize the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can fight without worrying about hurting others. Some people think Romeo Barrett is at a disadvantage in his duel because he doesn't have this much space to duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the Training Ground, then his hybrid bird lifeline beast could have unleashed its strong power. Many students have a favorable opinion of May Lindsey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>STRIKER Department:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are showing favor to her. She can use her lifeline beast well inside the vast ground,\" Betsy said with a frustrated tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harumph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They must have thought Brother Jeremy doesn't have a strong lifeline beast,\" Daniel said with dissatisfaction as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy, who was sitting near them, frowned. He also heard a lot of noise. He found that some people were convinced that the previous duel was not held at a similar kind of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who are slandering didn't see the duel live,\" Jeremy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tired of proving himself to everyone. He believes once he defeats the two S-Graders, the debate will end once and for all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy then spoke with the two before leaving the class. He was going toward the Joint Training Facility. Since his opponent is going to be S-Graders, he can't be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is totally different from Romeo Barrett. He can't be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked into the Joint Training Facility. The members there were surprised to see him. Not long ago, he defeated Romeo Barrett here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them came forward to disturb him. Jeremy walked to the end of the corridor before finding his favorite practice room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one was using it, he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, he has come here to practice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't know what will happen tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think Miss May will defeat him for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's see how long he can carry his smug look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other department students were discussing among themselves, but they didn't have the courage to speak in front of Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Training Room, Jeremy began to practice the explosive steps. He knows May Lindsey might try to attack him from a distance tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his speed is low, then he might be hit by her ice attack. He had not seen her ice element's power, so he doesn't know how to judge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, he continued to focus on practicing. Not long after taking a rest, he switched to Triple Rapid Cuts. Then he started to practice sword skills as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students inside the Joint Training Facility shared the news of Jeremy Night. It didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of May Lindsey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like he is feeling the pressure,\" her mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was aware of Jeremy Night's combat skills, so he had worked on her weaknesses. But she will see the results of her efforts tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean's office:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the girl wins, then it will be fine. But if she fails to win tomorrow, then the Senior Students might challenge that kid,\" Dean Carolyn said with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of her, the old man Derek was sitting in the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, I think the guys in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years have more important jobs to do. The beast invasion has shown them the harsh reality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I doubt they would try to bully that kid, Jeremy. Even if it happens, I will stop them,\" old man Derek gave his word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his idea to hold the duel between Jeremy Night and May Lindsey at their first-year training ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carolyn's eyes flashed with worry. She actually wanted Jeremy Night to win. But the S-Grade talent is indeed more powerful than the A-Grade talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Jeremy's A-Grade talent can surpass Romeo Barrett's Sword Talent, there is still a gap when it comes to S-Grade talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, are you worried?\" old man Derek asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know that kid can fight across ranks. But that was possible at close quarters. What if the girl attacks him from a distance? The power of S-Grade Ice Elemental is abnormal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can even affect Tier-3 Beast Tamers to some extent. So I don't know what the kid is going to do,\" Carolyn said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her tone, it was evident that she was not optimistic about Jeremy's chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Derek found it hard to refute. That kid was good in all aspects except for distance fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these problems are not big issues for the Beast Tamers. They can be solved by using the lifeline beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for Jeremy Night, it was the biggest obstacle. They didn't see Jeremy Night using his lifeline beast for tomorrow's duel as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some natural fruits. I will give them to the kid. If he can consume these, he might increase his strength by one rank,\" old man Derek said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Dean Carolyn said, \"Good. I, too, have some treasures. But if I give them to the kid directly, he might rely too much on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Dean. I won't give them to him for free. I have some missions in mind for that kid,\" Derek replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Derek found that Jeremy was training at the Joint Training Facility. He was surprised. He thought that kid Jeremy would be carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he thinks Jeremy understood the seriousness. There is a horror of the S-Grade talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn't know whether the Lindsay family had any ice techniques that could complement that girl's ice talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it's the case, then they can only pray for Jeremy's duel tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to visit the Joint Training Facility, he saw Jeremy Night coming back from training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, how are you doing?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy startled upon seeing the old man's sudden appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>",1028,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","404c90ee77f080c6cfebc915aee34f52827bb0f5b76e5ae8ade1aa9183d7b267","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-172","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-170",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
