Supreme BeastTamer: I Can Copy and Upgrade Skills 10x!

In another part of the forests behind the academy.

Shing!

A blinding silver light arc flashed in the air as Theo sheathed and unsheathed his sword, and the big flying beetle, Titan Skyripper, fell into two halves, splattering the ground with thick dark blood.

Behind Theo, standing some meters away, were about three students who seemed to be in a very bad condition, their clothes ripped in some places, exposing their bruised, injured skin. As soon as they confirmed that the beast had been killed, the eyes of those three students lit up with gratitude.

Though Nox didn't know it, because of how easily he had dealt with the Titan Skyripper that attacked him, for the majority of the students, the Titan Skyripper was very powerful, and the three students had experienced this firsthand.

If it was not for the intervention of Theo, who was passing by, they would have almost lost their lives.

"Thank you, we really appreciate it!" one of the students, a short square-faced fellow, said in a voice filled with relief. "We don't mind if you keep the fruits."

On the tree beside the split-apart Titan Skyripper, there was a Soul Fruit Tree, and on it, four Soul Fruits hung glistening in the light.

Theo shook his head and said, "I already have so many with me; you lot can divide them amongst yourselves."

"R-really?!" the three students exclaimed at once, their eyes wide in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Theo was giving away such treasured fruits with a nonchalant expression. Even if he were to take all the Soul Fruits, the three wouldn't have complained, as they had given up all hope of acquiring them in the first place.

"Yes. You can keep them. Trust me, I have a lot on me." Theo smirked, and after telling his classmates to be more careful, he went deeper into the forest, leaving the three staring at his back with undying reverence.

"He's too benevolent," they echoed with shining eyes, watching his back, which seemed to be illuminated by a divine light.

In a sand-like terrain with two Soul Fruit Trees...

Several students could be seen lying on the ground, which was partly soaked with black and red blood. Just like the previous students, these students were also injured, but they weren't injured by the Titan Skyripper protecting the fruits.

Instead, it was someone even more cruel and wicked!

Zara!

The beautiful light blue-haired girl with mesmerizing eyes was a true menace. All the students present there glared at her with intense hatred burning in their eyes. This collective anger, channeled into one person, was overwhelming, palpable, and powerful enough to make them clench their fists in frustration.

A few minutes ago, they had been the ones that had found the trees. However, shortly after, Zara had shown up and ordered them to scram from here and find another tree. The sheer confidence and arrogance seemed to infuriate the students, and they collectively attacked her, hoping to put her in her place.

Long story short, they were all brutally defeated and now found themselves in this miserable condition where they couldn't do anything but watch as Zara claimed the precious Soul Fruits.

"Cold, heartless bitch!" they cursed with dark expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile...

Kali, who had been hunting his fair share of monsters for some time now, stumbled upon someone, and all his muscles tensed just like they would whenever he encountered a powerful existence.

"Not her... or him... or whatever they are!" Kali's body trembled immediately as his eyes fell on Glen, who was clad in her full-bodied armor as usual and was decimating hordes of Titan Skyrippers as if she were taking a stroll through a park.

The beatdown Kali had suffered during the entrance exam day was still fresh in his head. He gripped the handle of his axe even tighter and said with a pale expression, "And I know this isn't all... it's as if she hasn't even shown a fragment of her true power."

The forest was filled with the sounds of battle, the shrieks of beasts, and the screams of students from time to time. Across the wooden bridge, Wendy grew more worried, while Boris's face was as calm and serene as ever, as if he didn't care whether the students were dying or alive.

Below the temple...

Hundreds of meters deep, where there was hardly any noise, a young man with dark hair was looking at a pile of treasures with glowing eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Heavens!" Nox's body was literally trembling as he saw the treasures. From his position, he could spot thousands of golden coins, magical items, and Soul Fruits—there were hundreds of Soul Fruits, and they seemed to be calling out for him to pick them up.

At that moment, Nox swept his gaze through the large room and noticed several more treasures in different corners of the room. In the middle of the room, on the surface of the straight pool, there was a stone platform, and on top of the platform, there was a single item.

Because of the distance, Nox wasn't able to see the item clearly, but he could tell that it was a magical item, and because of its location, he suspected it to be a power Item or Relic.

"This... this looks like a carefully packed treasury," Nox couldn't help but whisper to himself as he walked around the room, taking note of everything.

Nox came across strange-looking statues with horns and fangs. He lingered a little, sensing a dark aura coming from the demonic-looking statues. The aura was very similar to the one he had felt in the lake.

It didn't take long for Nox to understand that this was a statue of a god, because normal statues didn't possess an aura.

There were so many gods in Eos, but Nox didn't know about this god or its class. After observing for a while, he moved along and noticed a long dark path.

"Let's first take the treasures, then I'll contemplate whether I'll explore this place some more," Nox mumbled to himself as he started to place the treasures in his spatial inventory one after the other.

But little did he know, beside the pool, a pair of red eyes were glaring at him. At the same time, in the temple, Clone Hendrix was descending a flight of steps, heading towards the room where the treasure was located.
