I have something important to tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, I took Jeremy Night to the wilderness yesterday,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Derek was stunned. He looked at Jacob in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob then started to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek Gibson was in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was hearing right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid, Jeremy Night, killed a Tier-4 Hound,\" he uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Elder. I have video recordings. You can view it,\" Jacob said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he took the digital device out and played the video in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek's gaze fell on the video scene where he saw Jeremy Night confronting the Tier-4 Hound Beast. From the size of the beast, he didn't doubt whether it was Tier-4 or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued to watch the footage, he was astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night ended the life of the Tier-4 Beast in two moves. He couldn't believe it. But the video proof said otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't think Jacob would have edited it overnight. It showed that the combat talent of that kid was terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was able to find the weakness in a fraction of a second before targeting it with great precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Derek took a deep breath as he finished watching the video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"No wonder he was confident. He can really kill a Tier-4 Beast. That's why he proposed such a condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go to the Dean's office,\" Derek added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, she was the one who was going to make the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the Dean's office. Derek had already obtained permission on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened. Both of them went inside. A white-haired old lady was sitting behind the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the two of them and asked them to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek and Jacob sat in the chairs. Derek looked at Jacob.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, Jacob took his digital device out and played the video for Dean Carolyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carolyn was confused at first. But when she saw Jeremy Night in the video, she continued to watch. She recognized the terrible hound as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tier-4,\" she uttered as she continued to watch the video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pupils shrank. She didn't expect Jeremy Night to kill the Tier-4 Beast without breaking a sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It may appear like he ended the duel in two moves, but she noticed that the two moves were precisely calculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to stun the beast by attacking its blood vessel. The next move was to sever the head completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it true?\" she asked, looking at both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Elder Derek told her what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carolyn was surprised and shocked. No one took Jeremy Night's words seriously earlier. Everyone thought he was making excuses to avoid the duel challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the video proof was a tight slap in the face. Everyone underestimated the kid. Then she recalled his ambition to enter the top 10 zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started to think that Jeremy Night might have a chance. If his combat strength is Tier-4 at Tier-1 level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he reaches a higher tier in the future? Then he could kill Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After collecting her thoughts, she looked at them and said, \"You guys brought this evidence in time. The family behind the two S-Graders were asking me to arrange the duel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I have this footage, I can shut their mouths and others who are causing problems,\" she added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob sighed in relief. He thought he would get reprimanded, but both of them turned a blind eye to his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob then sent the original copy to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have done a good job. Even I didn't believe that Jeremy Night could kill a Tier-4 Beast,\" Carolyn said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jacob, you did well by breaking the rules this time. I don't know if I would have allowed you to go yesterday,\" Derek praised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy shook his head before saying, \"It's not me. It's Jeremy. He wanted to prove his strength to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carolyn's old eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"That kid has already become a real striker. From the beginning to the end, he didn't use his lifeline beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek was dumbfounded as well. He totally forgot about it. Beast Tamers rely on their lifeline beasts to fight, so more than 80% of combat power comes from the beast during a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Jeremy Night was able to kill the Tier-4 Beast without relying on his lifeline beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob took a sharp breath. He forgot as well. He didn't know why, but while spending time with him in the wilderness yesterday, he forgot about his lifeline beast as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back went cold thinking about Jeremy Night's lifeline beast. He thought it must be formidable with a high tier bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was using the beast's ability to break the skin and flesh of the Tier-4 Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob then thought of something before asking, \"Elder, Dean. I have something to ask you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Carolyn said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn't ask me anything earlier,\" Derek said with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just remembered now. I promised Jeremy that if he could kill a Tier-4 Beast, then I would ask both of you to lift the wilderness entry ban on him,\" Jacob added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that kid had played Instructor Jacob. If the kid were to ask directly, no one would agree to his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who knew about the kid's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carolyn's mouth curved into an arc. She thought it was the work of Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That kid wanted to show his strength through Instructor Jacob. The unknown killers didn't know about Jeremy's combat strength yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the video is made public, then the mastermind could send high-tier beast tamers after him,\" she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dean, what's next?\" Derek asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you going to lift the ban?\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's too risky. I thought about publishing the footage a few seconds ago, but I have changed my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still don't know who is harming that kid. If the unknown mastermind knows about the kid's strength, the mastermind could send high-tier beast tamers after him,\" Dean Carolyn said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the expression of both the instructors changed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1080,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.484Z",1,"novelbin.me","78685fc16377532a10db52c550866ba3971d29ec1e96bc7c52d8d1a53bcb4c8f","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-279","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-277",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
