Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 793

Chapter 793: Chapter 793 - Taming the Fifth Year - Genius

It was a truth that resonated far beyond the simple words Liu had spoken.

Because Ren had personally suffered the consequences of what happened when you became arrogant about your own abilities.

Liu had been in danger of falling into that same trap. Especially after reaching Gold rank through accelerated cultivation. Of feeling that he’d "arrived" at some special level of achievement that set him apart.

But then he looked at Ren standing there calmly.

Who, crucially, had been the one to help Liu reach that level in the first place.

It was impossible to feel genuinely superior when your supposed "advantage" existed only because someone stronger had freely given you the tools to achieve it.

It was impossible to become arrogant when every battle against that person reminded you exactly where you stood in the real hierarchy of power.

And Liu was profoundly grateful for that humbling reality.

Because it meant he would continue improving his techniques. Continue training relentlessly. Continue pushing himself toward greater heights.

Instead of stagnating in a false sense of accomplishment that would ultimately limit his growth.

"Tools matter. Having the right method versus the wrong one makes all the difference between reaching Gold in five years versus never reaching it at all."

He released the handshake and stepped back.

Liu walked off the field with his head held high despite the loss.

And in the stands, observers who’d witnessed the entire exchange murmured with approval.

Because they’d just seen something more valuable than a simple demonstration of superior power.

They’d seen genuine friendship between competitors.

Humility in defeat.

Grace in victory.

The kind of character that mattered more than raw strength alone.

Lin watched Ren return to his position and smiled slightly.

’That boy continues surprising me,’ she thought with satisfaction. ’Not just with his beasts’ capabilities, but with how he treats people.’

Though she didn’t say that out loud where Ren could hear.

Some lessons were better learned through experience than through praise.

And Ren was doing well on his own.

Liu returned to his side of the field, officially withdrawing from the exam but without any sensation of real failure weighing on him.

He’d given a good battle showing his progress. Had demonstrated improvement from where he’d started. Had proven that the training methods and cultivation techniques Ren had shared actually functioned as promised.

And he’d learned a valuable lesson about consideration for others during combat. It was a lesson he would carry forward with him.

Ren observed Liu departing with his head held high. Then looked at the hydra that remained at his side, both heads alert.

"You’ll have more opportunities to show off," Ren murmured while touching one of the heads lightly in appreciation.

The hydra made a satisfied sound at the contact. The farther head visibly envying the attention being given to its ’sibling’.

LARISSA’S POV

In this world powerful individuals decided victories by themselves.

And Larissa was one of those who possessed sufficient power to carry her team by herself when necessary.

Fortunately, or not...

Since with Ren participating, even those individuals couldn’t compete, ultimately no system could truly be "fair" in the traditional sense...

And unfortunately for her, she would be facing Ren’s group now in the next round... though perhaps it was actually fortunate to face him before encountering the truly problematic duos that posed great threats to her specifically.

Taro and Liora formed a terrifyingly effective team together. Both were double-bonded tamers at Gold rank. Both possessed beasts that complemented each other’s weaknesses perfectly that would beat her through any coordinated deployment order.

Luna and Min represented a similar situation of dangerous synergy.

Facing either of those powerful duos would likely spell the end for her team’s tournament run.

At least she would have the opportunity to face Ren’s team before those final confrontations...

The strongest.

Ren’s team would be the eventual winner of the entire tournament.

Ren himself was strong. Absurdly strong beyond normal parameters. But his teammates were relatively normal students without exceptional capabilities.

She could handle them without much difficulty. Probably without tremendous effort while still giving good performance for the grade evaluations.

The impossible problem was Ren himself and his overwhelming beasts.
