If I Don't Bring Out the Universal Sword, There Probably Won't Be Many Who Can Keep This Thing Under Control

"Tailed beast?"

Hearing Fang Mo mention this name, Toriko seemed a little puzzled. "What is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

"That's obviously because you're too weak."

Without a second thought, Fang Mo made something up. "IGO Chairman Ichiryu has actually kept a lot of things from you. The key reason is that you're too weak... knowing those things too early wouldn't benefit your growth."

For example, the Four Beasts were supposedly monsters that had existed in the Gourmet World since ancient times. They even dared to challenge the Eight Kings of the Gourmet World. Though they had never actually won, they had not fully died either. In the end, they woke up every so often and devoured humans
