Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Chapter 272 Trial

As Charles walked toward the banquet, he glanced at the information prompt in his eyes regarding the mystical beast mousie.

——[shadow flying squirrel]——

[Description]: A juvenile Demigod. Don't be deceived by its adorable appearance, if you accidentally provoke it, it can be a terrifying experience. Its true power is still sealed away.

Charles was very clear about what kind of mystical beast mousie was. Simple, cute, yet very timid, it was an extremely reliable partner.

For a mystical beast like this, as long as it's of the dark attribute,

and hasn't done anything heinous, then neither has he.

As a Beast Master with dark attribute energy, it wasn't his fault. He possessed energy of all attributes,

and he could form contracts with mystical beasts of all attributes, light attribute included.

So why was he viewed with animosity by a level nine Beast Master?

Before long,

Charles arrived at the silent royal banquet.

The atmosphere was incredibly heavy, almost no one dared to speak, and most were communicating with their eyes.

Charles saw the worried face of Finn, and the delighted expression of Zane.

He also spotted familiar figures like President Xavier, President Owen, and Mason, Zachary's father, among others.

Their eyes were filled with concern and speculation about what would happen next.

Charles maintained a blank expression as he focused his gaze on the most conspicuous person at the banquet.

Clearly, the unfamiliar man sitting in the center was the level nine Beast Master known as the Light Knight, Lucas,

the one who had disrupted all of Charles's plans.

When Lucas saw Charles arrive, he carefully sensed the atmosphere and immediately frowned.

Unlike other ordinary dark attribute Beast Masters, the dark attribute energy surrounding Charles was exceptionally dense, infused with an unknown aura.

This intensified Lucas's murderous intent. Such a rich dark attribute energy, combined with that unknown aura,

if Charles were to succumb to temptation and join the [Constellation] organization in the future,

he would undoubtedly become a villain causing chaos in the world!

Lucas spoke with deep disdain, "So you are Charles? The true genius of Genosha, the multi-attribute Beast Master?"

"That's right, I am Charles." Charles nodded.

He walked forward without fear.

As soon as he took a step, he felt a terrifying pressure surrounding him,

like a massive mountain slowly descending, trying to crush him!

In an instant, Charles understood that this pressure must be coming from a level nine Beast Master!

Was this meant to force him to bow down right from the start?

Feeling the pressure on him, Charles didn't speak, he continued to move forward.

With each step he took, the pressure increased slightly, as if continuing down this path would turn him into a puddle of flesh.

Even so, Charles did not stop.

The other young geniuses were standing at a distance, they didn't feel the same level of pressure as Charles.

Yet even so, some of them couldn't withstand it and instantly spat out blood,

clearly suffering internal injuries from the overwhelming pressure.

On Charles's side, there seemed to be no change, he slowly advanced.

With every step, the muscles and bones in his body creaked under the strain, the pressure exceeding what he had experienced during his training with the [Overlord Heavy Armor].

As he walked, Charles thought to himself, is this the power of a level nine Beast Master?

Without summoning a mystical beast or using any skills,

just the sheer pressure alone was already causing him pain.

Indeed, in the world of Beast Masters, the higher the level, the greater the gap.

Charles was currently a level four Beast Master, but in front of the level nine Beast Master Lucas, he felt like a child, with no means of resistance,

and he could only let Lucas manipulate him.

Some of the young geniuses had already collapsed to the ground, and a few others, unable to withstand the pressure, chose to retreat, leaving the area of influence.

Finn's gaze was sharp, he keenly sensed the situation.

Even if he couldn't become a level nine Beast Master's disciple today, he needed to persist, opportunities like this were rare, and the longer he held on, the better it would be for his future.

Thinking of this, he began to imitate Charles and slowly moved forward.

Seeing Finn's actions, the other geniuses also seemed to realize something, and those who could endure started to walk as well.

In an instant,

the banquet transformed into a trial ground, as countless geniuses began to slowly approach Lucas's position.

Leading the way was Charles, who was about twenty steps ahead of Finn.

Lucas watched the unfolding scene with great interest, Charles aside,

the youth following him also looked impressive, quick to react and possessing good physical attributes—a true talent.

As time passed,

fewer and fewer people were able to stand.

The vast majority of the young geniuses had either withdrawn or collapsed, remaining motionless on the ground.

They had reached their limits, continuing onward would likely lead to serious injuries.

At this moment, many were acutely aware of the gap between Beast Masters.

The self-proclaimed geniuses had not even seen the level nine Beast Master make a move before being overwhelmed by the pressure.

Charles continued to move forward slowly.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he wasn't finding it easy either.

However, his condition was much better than that of the others. Following behind Charles was Finn.

At this moment, blood was flowing from Finn's eyes, mouth, and ears, yet he grit his teeth and persisted.

With every step he took, Finn could feel his potential being squeezed out a little more. He wanted to grow stronger and seek revenge, he could not give up!

Soon,

only Charles and Finn remained, struggling to continue forward.

Finn's consciousness began to blur, he could no longer clearly see Charles's figure. In his eyes, Charles transformed into a towering mountain whose peak he could not see.

In the next moment,

the pressure on Finn slowly dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"That kid's not bad, he's got some potential." Lucas remarked.

He had sensed that Finn had reached his limit and could go no further. Since he felt Finn still had some potential, he chose to let him rest.

Even so, Finn had gained a lot from the experience.

He felt his body gradually becoming lighter, clearly much stronger than before.

Lying on the ground, Finn struggled to turn his head to see how far Charles could go.

All eyes were on Charles, who was now nearly exhausted.

He stood still, seeming to gather every ounce of strength just to lift his foot.

Others noticed Charles's current situation, and someone remarked:

"Charles is truly a genius, he's a monster, so far ahead of everyone else."

"Yeah, but it seems like this is as far as he can go, he can't push any further."

"If he goes any further, he might lose consciousness, and in a worse case, he could die."

Jamie's expression darkened, and he remained silent, his fists clenched tightly, muscles tensed all over.

"What's this? You want to challenge me?" Lucas suddenly asked, staring at Jamie's hands.

Jamie replied slowly, "So what if I do? As the head of the Genosha branch of Cyber Academy, do you dare to make a move against me?"

This statement carried an absolute conviction, Jamie had had enough of Lucas.

He did not want anything to happen to Charles, as the headmaster, he wanted to protect this rare talent!

"Oh? How do you know I wouldn't dare? Let me tell you something, I'm nearly dead." Lucas said with a smile,

his voice low enough that only Jamie could hear.

"What!" Jamie exclaimed, stunned into silence.

His mind raced, no wonder Lucas didn't care about the main academy—he was on the brink of death!

What could be more terrifying than a mad level nine Beast Master?

That would be a mad level nine Beast Master who was about to die!

No one would dare provoke such a being, even the main academy would have to think twice.

With that thought, Jamie felt even more despair, the crisis Charles faced today was undoubtedly a matter of life and death!

What had stopped Lucas from killing Ezra when they first met?

Jamie felt a pang of regret for not asking more questions back then, if he had, perhaps he could have helped Charles now.

All he could do was leave everything to Charles's fate.

Under Jamie's watchful gaze, Charles slowly lifted his foot and set it down. With each step he took, blood would spurt from his body.

Starting from his mouth, then from his eyes and ears,

and now blood was pouring out from the pores of his skin.

But Charles continued to persevere. He looked at Jamie, he looked at Hale, and he looked at the lofty Lucas.

He could still go on!

Lucas's expression was calm, his gaze equally tranquil.

No one knew the murderous intent brewing within him. He noticed the [Mysterious Fragment] around Charles's neck

and had already begun to speculate about its significance.

As a level nine Beast Master, Lucas was no stranger to the [Mysterious Fragment]. Ordinary Beast Masters had no need for such things.

Only one type of Beast Master required it: those who lacked strength but possessed strong [Spiritual sensitivity].

They needed the fragment to reduce their [Spiritual sensitivity] to avoid unknown influences!
