Chapter 256 Chad's Corpse
Chapter 256 Chad's Corpse
In the underground octagonal cage,
Chad's figure swayed like a young sapling in a raging storm, Experience tales with m v|l -NovelBin.net
While Charles's attacks struck like a hurricane enveloping Chad, relentlessly targeting his throat, temples, and other vital areas.
Each assault carried an unparalleled momentum, those fists were as hard as if forged from steel.
Chad felt the world in front of him beginning to blur,
He truly didn't expect that Charles's stamina was still at its peak. The earlier claims of decreased speed and reduced strength were all a facade, The purpose was likely to make him lose his ability to fight.
Thinking of this, Chad's expression became somewhat dazed, as if he saw the faces of unfamiliar people appearing before him.
He had never met these people, yet it felt as though they had always lived together.
Charles unleashed his true strength, facing his assault, Chad's expression seemed somewhat vacant, yet his movements were incredibly agile.
It felt to Charles as if Chad's body had developed a consciousness of its own.
This battle was no longer between him and Chad, it was a fight against the unknown entity within Chad!
With each collision of fists and feet, the entire octagonal cage's floor became a wreck, scattered with broken stones and dust.
The audience below watched intently, it was the first time they had seen such a thrilling battle in the underground octagonal cage.
No mystical beasts, no equipment, and no skills,
It was purely two real warriors fighting fiercely with their bodies.
Countless spectators gaped, forgetting to cheer or discuss, the underground world became eerily quiet.
Time passed little by little.
Under Charles's relentless assault, Chad's body still stood, seemingly unharmed.
However, looking at Chad's now skeletal form, Charles knew he couldn't last much longer.
The entity within Chad was nearly draining his life force, without that support, Chad would die on the spot.
That thing was indeed strange, allowing a Beast Master to fight to the point of death.
It was simply terrifying.
Soon, Chad, who had been wildly battling Charles, suddenly paused, standing still.
He trembled all over, and his grayish-white eyes began to revert to those of a normal person.
Seeing this, Charles cautiously closed the distance and quickly asked, "What is happening? Chad, what did you do?"
Chad seemed not to hear, he slowly knelt down, then collapsed entirely onto the ground.
Looking at the distant lights illuminating the underground world, Chad attempted to open his mouth to say something.
He didn't even have the strength to speak, at that moment, he had already seen the arrival of death.
"Tell me, what happened? How did you end up like this?" Charles rushed to Chad's side, desperate to extract some information from him.
Unfortunately, Chad could muster only enough strength to softly utter two words: "Mommy."
Outside the octagonal cage,
Zane had been closely watching what was happening inside. When he saw that Chad hadn't managed to say anything, he let out a sigh of relief.
No one expected Charles to be this powerful.
Faced with Chad, who had used the red miracle drug, he could still feign exhaustion, only to unleash his true strength in the end!
"Why pretend to be exhausted? Did Charles intend to control Chad from the very beginning?" A terrifying thought arose in Zane's mind.
After watching the entire fight, he sensed something was off, it felt as if Charles had discovered something.
However, back in the study, his father Benson had said that when facing someone who was taking the red miracle drug for the first time, even an eighth-level Beast Master wouldn't be able to notice anything unless they got too close.
Only after the second or third doses of the red miracle drug would those strange entities truly begin to manifest in the real world.
At that point, an ordinary Beast Master would be able to see them.
Could it be that Charles had something special about him?
Zane thought to himself, beginning to doubt his own conclusions. Perhaps at the very beginning, Charles genuinely wanted to participate in the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge, not just because of his plan.
Because now, it seemed that Charles truly had the strength to attempt a challenge against Icy!
"The urgent thing now is to discuss this with my father and see if there's anything we've overlooked." Zane couldn't afford to think too much.
He stood up and walked into a private box in the underground world, pulling out his phone.
Meanwhile, the match in the octagonal cage had already concluded.
Facing the dead Chad, the audience erupted into cheers, all shouting at Charles:
"Awesome! That's how it should be—take out the enemy!"
"Charles, you're amazing! Do the same in the next battle—just kill them!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"This is so exhilarating! I haven't seen a fight like this in ages. Charles, you're the real ace!"
Some female spectators even lifted their shirts, shaking their bodies toward Charles and wildly jiggling their chests.
At the same time,
The audience in the underground octagonal cage's live stream started sending comments, most congratulating Charles, though many still believed he was incapable and that this was just luck.
"Luck, my foot! If you went up there, you'd probably wet your pants out of fear!" In a hospital room, the awakened Jace furiously tapped on his phone screen with his fingers.
The speed was so fast that most people could only see afterimages.
He was currently responding to some negative comments about Charles.
On the other side of the hospital room, Finn withdrew his gaze with a complex expression.
He recalled the fight he had just seen in the live stream and said softly, "Charles is strong, I'm no match for him."
Shannon was busy packing up his things.
The reason Finn and Jace were in the same hospital room was that he had arranged it.
This way, he could take care of both of them and also express goodwill toward Charles.
"Finn, Charles was indeed very strong in that fight, but it seems he hasn't used any combat techniques. You know so many combat techniques, he can't be better than you, right?" Shannon replied.
In his opinion, Charles truly didn't seem to know combat techniques. Against Chad, Charles hadn't used any combat techniques at all!
"It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality. Charles probably really doesn't know combat techniques right now." Finn sighed, sharing his perspective.
Shannon looked puzzled and asked, "Right now? What does that mean?"
"Just wait and see. When Charles faces Icy, you'll understand." Finn didn't elaborate further.
He could vaguely tell that during Charles's fight, the reactions of his body and his attacking methods bore the shadow of combat techniques.
In GenoshaCalivia, within the Allen family,
Zachary had not gone to the underground world to watch Charles's match in person because he needed to train at night.
He had initially thought today's fight would be similar to yesterday's, but he didn't expect this fourth-level Beast Master named Chad to be so surprising.
What surprised him even more was Charles's strength!
Thinking of this, Zachary looked at the training equipment in front of him and sighed.
He had now lost the motivation to become stronger.
Reflecting on the battle in the octagonal cage,
He realized that against Chad, he would be killed in less than two minutes!
"Is the gap between people really this vast? I guess I'll only be able to look up at Charles's back from now on."
Zachary wasn't the only one thinking this, almost all the geniuses in Genosha Calivia had watched Charles's fight.
These so-called geniuses, who were often regarded as exceptional by ordinary people, were now all plunged into silence, unsure of what to say.
Some higher-ranked Beast Masters were somewhat better off, they could console themselves that Charles was only a fourth-level Beast Master and would likely need some time to become a fifth-level Beast Master.
As for those fourth-level Beast Masters, they initially wanted to comfort themselves by saying this fight didn't involve mystical beasts or equipment.
But the moment they thought of Charles's diamond-quality mystical beast and his high-quality gear, all their spirits deflated, and they sighed repeatedly.
In a certain mountain range within Genosha,
Grace stared at her phone as it slowly loaded the information, remaining silent and expressionless.
Once she finished reading, she put her phone away, looked at the dark cave ahead, and resolutely walked inside.
Only her teacher remained outside the cave, letting out a sigh and slowly saying,
"I know you're very competitive, but a genius like Charles doesn't need two years to surpass you."
"Perhaps, the only thing that can help you defeat Charles now is a miracle."
...
In the underground world, after the fight ended, the staff began cleaning the octagonal cage.
Charles still stood in place, his gaze fixed on Chad's corpse until a bald man approached and asked, "Mr. Charles, do you have any other matters?"
"I want to ask how Chad's body will be handled later." Charles replied.
The bald man scratched his nonexistent hair, looking at Charles with a puzzled expression and said, "Of course, it will be taken to the crematorium for incineration. What's the matter?"
Charles took out his phone and sent a message to Hale. After receiving a reply, he spoke directly.
"Here's the thing: Chad has some matters related to Cyber Academy, and we need to investigate his body, so it cannot be cremated for the time being."
The bald man frowned. Although the Cyber Academy was powerful, the underground world was not intimidated by it.
According to the rules of the underground world, Chad's body should be handed over to his family after cremation.
"Mr. Charles, what you're saying cannot be agreed to by the underground world. You can't represent Cyber Academy, can you?" the bald man replied.
