Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 829

Chapter 829: Chapter 829 - Taming the Fifth Year - Spirit of the Torch - 5

That massive serpent Liora had deliberately saved for the end, knowing it would pose the most serious threat when her opponent was already worn down and running low on options. The beast that could absorb mana from fallen creatures and strengthen itself exponentially as the battle progressed.

And Ren would have to face it with only a single beast, after having lost both the hydra and the mantis in battles that had pushed him harder than anything else during this exam had managed.

The silence in the stands was absolute as everyone processed what they had just witnessed. Ren Patinder, who had seemed invincible throughout the entirety of the exams, was now in a position where defeat wasn’t just possible but probable if Liora executed properly with her final beast.

Ren’s parents clenched their fists at the growing tension. His mother’s breathing had become shallow, each exhale measured and controlled as if she could somehow channel calm to her son through sheer force of will. His father’s jaw worked silently, muscles twitching beneath his weathered skin.

Taro watched from his recovery cot, the healers having at least dulled the worst of his pain. His expression mixed genuine concern for his friend with a hint of satisfaction at having contributed to creating a situation where his victory wasn’t guaranteed. He’d done his part. Now it was up to Liora to handle what came next.

Min was biting his fingers, supporting Liora... Funnily enough his ’partner’ Luna wanted Ren to win even if she wanted to support Liora too.

Larissa was the same as Luna, but a bit more invested in Ren for her own silly small discourse about 2nd place draw. Liu had thought of it too, but now was happy about not having said it outloud.

Most of Ren’s friends were Liora friends too... Everyone was invested.

Throughout the arena, whispers began to spread like wildfire through dry grass. The noble families leaned toward each other, speaking behind raised hands and fans. The commoner sections buzzed with speculation and debate. Betting odds were being frantically recalculated in the back rows.

The end was approaching.

And nobody could predict with certainty how it would go...

Ren’s wolverine was still at Silver 3. He’d been cultivating it at that level for more than three hundred days already, with approximately three additional months required before it would finally reach Gold rank.

It was a calculation Ren had made many times recently with anticipation, because the wolverine would ascend on the exact same day the mantis would reach Silver 1.

That synchronization wasn’t completely accidental but rather the result of obtaining it just as his mushroom reached Gold, exactly one hundred days before promoting his wolverine to Silver 3. This meant they would share advancement dates in the future, making it easier for Ren to keep track of the countdowns.

Three months from now, he’d have three Gold-rank beasts and one Silver beast. The costs and waiting times were becoming quite lengthy indeed.
