He noticed their ranks had increased significantly, surpassing most other first-year students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jacob's heart raced. He sensed Jeremy Night's strength was at Tier-2, surpassing the first rank. He was stunned by such rapid progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know what to say. Betsy and Daniel Stone were equally shocked, seeing Jeremy after such a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Instructor Jacob?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Betsy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are you all doing?\" Jeremy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three gathered their thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We've been doing fine. What about you? We heard you faced a beast invasion,\" Jacob said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was surprised by their knowledge. He noticed Betsy and Daniel exchanging knowing looks, aware of his recent whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, Jeremy said, \"It was a dangerous experience. Corrupted beasts invaded the city. We were fighting them inside the streets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob was at a loss for words. He knew surviving a beast invasion was no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy and Daniel were also shaken by the thought of a beast invasion. They couldn't imagine themselves battling corrupted beasts within a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to move past the heavy topic, they calmed themselves and changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what's your plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've returned after a long time. Are you visiting the university?\" Betsy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Jacob and Daniel turned to Jeremy with hopeful expressions, eager for him to visit the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would they be delighted, but other students and instructors would be thrilled as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob particularly wanted Jeremy to meet Dean Carolyn and Elder Derek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy saw the anticipation in their eyes. He knew they wanted him to reconnect with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, something else was on his mind. He decided to share it with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, spotting a private area a few meters away where no one could overhear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have something important to discuss. Follow me,\" he said, walking toward the empty spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were now well outside the airport, standing a few hundred meters from the crowd moving in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy looked at them and began recounting his encounter with a Tier-5 Worm Beast and its group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The presence of Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts near City A was far more alarming than near City C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, the trio's expressions shifted. They hadn't expected City C to face such a crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Jeremy seemed tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Jacob said, \"If the Tier-5 Worm Beast was injured and fled, it's likely to return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're intelligent. They don't forget attacks. The City Governors need to address this quickly,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy nodded. \"That's why I'm here. I plan to track their whereabouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've also decided to buy equipment that can harm the worm beasts,\" he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy gasped in surprise. Daniel was equally shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Jacob's face grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you insane?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Tier-5 Corrupted Beast could easily destroy you!\" Jacob exclaimed in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't understand why Jeremy was taking such a risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it dawned on him, Jeremy's father was one of the City Governors. That explained his determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy and Daniel came to the same realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy said, \"I'm only trying to find their whereabouts, not fight them. The Tier-5 Worm Beast is dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jacob raised his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn't expected Jeremy to show such restraint. It proved he wasn't being reckless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll ask for help from my grandfather,\" Betsy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can ask my family for help too,\" Daniel added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy shook his head. \"There's no need for that. It's just one Tier-5 beast. Mobilizing a large group could invite criticism.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jeremy's right. There's no need to involve so many people, especially without evidence of more than one Tier-5 Corrupted Beast,\" Jacob said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But one person could help you, Dean Carolyn. She could dispatch a Tier-6 Beast Tamer to assist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She has a lot of connections and could request support from the City Governors here,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy frowned. \"I don't think that's necessary. My father and the other two City Governors already have plans in mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just helping by tracking the whereabouts of the Tier-5 Worm Beast,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jeremy's reluctance, Jacob was unsure what to do. He worried Jeremy was taking on unnecessary risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Betsy and Daniel didn't know what to say. As Tier-1 Beast Tamers, they couldn't assist Jeremy in a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob quickly thought of something and decided to support Jeremy for now. He asked, \"So, what's your next step?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need something that can injure worm beasts. They must be allergic to something,\" Jeremy replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Jacob nodded. \"They're sensitive to certain liquids that irritate their bodies. But where will you find them in large quantities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stores here only carry small amounts, enough for low-tier beasts,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was taken aback. He hadn't considered this. The Tier-5 Worm Beast was over 20 feet tall, and the liquids available locally might not suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob noticed Jeremy deep in thought. Betsy and Daniel remained silent, uncertain of Jeremy's next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could tell tracking a Tier-5 Worm Beast was dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jacob said, \"I have another idea. The Beast Taming Association has developed a special liquid to lure worm beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not sure if it works on high-tier worms, though,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy raised his eyebrows in surprise. He hadn't known such a liquid existed for luring beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy said, \"I need that liquid. As long as I can confirm their whereabouts, it's enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then come with me. I'll take you to the Beast Taming Association,\" Jacob said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We want to go too,\" Betsy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel nodded, expressing his desire to join as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instructor Jacob agreed. The four of them left the airport, heading straight for the Beast Taming Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Elder Derek called Jacob as usual, but Jacob didn't answer. Surprised, Derek assumed Jacob must be teaching a class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Jacob was traveling with the others. He was deliberately ignoring the calls, worried that Elder Derek might notice his absence.\u003C\u002Fp>",1005,"2026-06-05T18:52:42.484Z",1,"novelbin.me","c651d9ebe26a319a1f8587ee6cca6b85dec8f9bba7b3b98cf427461088d24ae0","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-384","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-433",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
