Central University 14: Instructor Jacob continued his lecture. Jeremy was getting to know more and more about the Corrupted Beasts. For the first time, Jeremy was learning more about the Colossal Corrupted Beasts. The Colossal Corrupted Beasts are an existence that poses a huge threat to the Powerful Beast Tamers of the Human Alliance. Jeremy couldn't help but wonder how long it would take him to reach that existence. He thought that if he stayed in Zone 14, it might take a long time. Only the top 10 zones with better environments can help him grow. But he can't voice out his thoughts now; otherwise, it will affect others' moods. Time passed in the blink of an eye. When it was evening, the class came to an end. Instructor Jacob left, and not long after, the trio decided to leave as well. About a few minutes later, Jeremy and the others exited the Department Building but bumped into students from other departments. Jeremy's eyes flickered upon seeing them because he had heard from Betsy and Daniel that they were almost bullied by the Attack Department students. "You guys are here again!" "Let's see how you're going to teach us a lesson," Daniel said in a sarcastic tone. Hearing that, the faces of the Attack Department students changed drastically. They had come here to inform him of something. Their eyes shifted to Jeremy Night. A hint of fear appeared in their eyes. One of them stepped forward to convey the message. "Jeremy Night!" "Our Attack Department Representative, Romeo Barrett, is going to wait for you at the joint training facility tomorrow. He has issued a challenge again." "No matter what, the duel will happen. Our representative has decided to bother you if you don't agree to fight," a red-haired person said. Gasp! Some of them sucked in a cold breath of air, especially those walking out of the Medicine and Machinery Department. Everyone was attracted to Jeremy earlier, so they had waited to observe what was happening. But the challenge matter caught them off guard once again. "This?" Daniel Stone was stunned. "Jeremy, if you don't fight, these people will not only pester you but cause trouble for us as well," Betsy Lowe said in a cold tone. Last time, they were close to getting involved in a fight. It was just her background and Daniel's background that alerted others. Jeremy frowned. Things were getting out of his hands. It didn't bother him, but if they acted against Betsy and Daniel, then it would be troublesome. He is the representative of the STRIKER Department. If he doesn't act, it will damage the department's reputation. So he looked at the others and said, "I will be there tomorrow." Gasp! The others around them then exclaimed. It was big news. Last time, Jeremy Night had refused to fight and admitted defeat. This had brought a great deal of shame and ridicule to the STRIKER Department. "Brother Jeremy, you have agreed?" Daniel asked in surprise. Jeremy nodded and replied, "I mentioned a condition before. It appears Romeo Barrett managed to kill a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast." "Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to challenge me again," he added. Hearing that, understanding dawned on the others. Then everyone got separated. The Attack Department students returned to report the news. Daniel and Betsy returned to their dorm as well. About 17 minutes later, Jeremy entered his room. After locking the door, he went to take a bath. The bath lasted for 20 minutes. He then stepped out and changed into comfortable clothes. Today was a better day for him. The Red Rock Mercenaries were all rescued. He didn't know whether people would investigate the anonymous intel or not. Even if someone traced it back and came to him, he would take them to find the Tier-4 Black Scorpion Corrupted Beast. Meanwhile, The news of Romeo Barrett's challenge against Jeremy Night spread across the University. Everyone thought the two S-Graders would issue the challenge first. But to everyone's surprise, the Attack Department Representative, Romeo Barrett, initiated the challenge this time. Some people couldn't help but appreciate the courage of Romeo Barrett. Whereas the Elemental and Control Department students were angry. They felt that the limelight was being taken away by Romeo Barrett. May Lindsey showed a surprised reaction when she heard this news. She was aware of Jeremy's strength. At the same time, she had heard that Romeo Barrett went to the wilderness at the same time as them. So she couldn't help but wonder whether he had managed to solo kill a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast. If it's true, then she could understand. Because she knew about Romeo's talent. A sword talent could guarantee him the strongest attack power. Even if it's an A-Grade talent, the Sword Talent could give power to fight across ranks. So she was curious about tomorrow's duel. She looked forward to seeing not only Jeremy's growth but also Romeo Barrett's strength as well. Her family wanted her to leave Zone 14 as soon as possible. According to them, this is not the place for S-Graders to grow. Many S-Graders in the past had relocated to the top 10 powerful zones with their families. Once she became a high-tier beast tamer, her family wanted her to shift as well. With an S-Grade Beast Tamer from a family, they could establish a foothold in the top 10 zones. "I will wait until I reach Tier-3 strength," she said in her heart. As a Tier-1 Beast Tamer, the current environmental conditions here were already challenging for her. She would leave once she felt there was nothing more to learn. She also thought that Victor Scott would leave this zone as well. S-Graders are often recruited by powerful forces. They have advanced training programs, facilities, and other resources. She would use Central University 14 as her foundation before relocating to other top zones. If she learned that Jeremy Night had the same thoughts as her, then she would be shocked to the core. While she and her family were making future plans, Jeremy Night wanted to leave right away. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for him except for the Beast Taming Association's competition event.
