Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Chapter 488: Higher Than Charles



"It’s crazy, it’s crazy. Is the world too insane, or am I just getting old to the point where I can’t even understand this anymore?"

"I’m impressed, really. From now on, if I question Charles’ actions, I’ll be a fool!"

"Your Majesty, is this really reasonable?"

Finally, seeing Charles take out his tools and quickly gather all the Thick Soil together, the ministers from the outside could no longer hold their thoughts in.

At first, they had become numb. They had thought they were no longer sensitive to Charles’ actions, but after realizing what he was planning, they still found it completely beyond common understanding.

The principle of the third trial was well known to many it was the unique Thick Soil material that altered the gravity in the surrounding environment.

However, after so many years, no one had ever thought to gather all the Thick Soil within the range of the third trial to increase the gravity even further.

Typically, the highest level geniuses entering the royal secret realm were Fifth level Beast Masters, and the difficulty of the third trial was designed to challenge those at that level.

It started off easy, then became difficult, and finally reached the limit.

As long as one passed the third trial, their physical strength would improve, especially in the secret realm, where the energy concentration of various attributes was high, leading to a significant enhancement.

But who could have imagined that the difficulty of the third trial for Charles would be so low? Not only did he need to wear the Overlord Heavy Armor, but he also had to gather the Thick Soil!

Under everyone’s watch, Charles now resembled a hardworking laborer, diligently moving the Thick Soil.

Meanwhile, the other geniuses were slowly advancing through the third trial’s range.

Finally, when Luna reached the final third of the distance, Charles was satisfied and stopped his actions.

He glanced at the area where he had gathered a large amount of Thick Soil, nodded to himself, then took a deep breath. Without removing the Overlord Heavy Armor, he walked directly into the region with even greater gravity.

In an instant, Charles’ body swayed, and he almost collapsed to the ground, but he managed to hold himself up.

He could almost hear every bone in his body creaking. The immense gravity caused his body to shrink slightly, and every inch of his skin and muscles trembled, as if they were on the verge of breaking down.

Faced with this situation, Charles didn’t panic in the slightest. On the contrary, he blinked his eyes excitedly.

Yes, this was the feeling!

The feeling of pushing one’s limits!

It felt like his body was on the verge of collapsing at any second, every inch of him was in agony, but Charles knew that as long as he could hold on, the moment he broke through his limits, everything would be worth it.

Slowly adjusting his breathing, Charles carefully stood up, focusing on the feedback from every part of his body. He also activated Divine Domain to enhance his perception of his physical state.

Then, when Charles started moving in this environment, the overwhelming pressure and discomfort began to slowly fade away.

Three minutes later, Charles drew out the black gold long knife and swung it forcefully. At the same time, his body began to perform various movements, completely unfazed by the high gravity environment.

When Charles felt that everything was just about right, he slowly took a step and walked out of the range of the third trial.

An indescribable sensation surged through his body, rushing into his brain. His body creaked, and in the haze, he seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating and his blood rushing.

Casually holding the black gold long knife, Charles didn’t use any attribute energy. He simply relied on his physical strength and struck the ground with all his might.

The long knife stopped 30 centimeters above the ground, but a crack about the width of a fist appeared on the surface.

"Phew, right now, with just my strength, I could definitely defeat any typical Fifth level Beast Master in an instant! Even without the black gold long knife, without the Body Limit Release Miracle Drug, or any other enhancements, I could still kill a typical Sixth level Beast Master!"

Charles only made a brief assessment. The specifics would need to be confirmed with real combat data.

Anyway, in the third trial, he hadn’t made a physical improvement for a while, but now, his physical strength had been greatly enhanced once again!

The feeling of becoming stronger was truly addictive.

Charles took a deep breath and looked at the Bronze Division colored stone tablet in front of him.

Due to the time he spent in the third trial, wearing the Overlord Heavy Armor to push his physical limits and gathering the surrounding Thick Soil, his results weren’t great.

First place: Hale, time 62 minutes, Fifth level Beast Master

Second place: Charles, time 63 minutes, Fourth level Beast Master

...

Along with this, there was a reward a piece of purple quality metal material. Charles didn’t even bother to look at it and threw it straight into his jet ring, planning to give it to Little Gold later.

"This doesn’t have Ezra’s name, nor does it have any of the names of those who appeared in the first trial. It seems there must be two separate leaderboards."

"It’s obvious that the rewards for the other leaderboard will be better. This one only has purple quality items."

Charles didn’t care much. He had come for the Fire Spirit Pearl. If his luck was really bad and he didn’t find it, he could always negotiate with the Emperor of Genosha in the end.

But in that case, the Emperor might just give him the Fire Spirit Pearl without asking for anything in return.

Free things usually come with a greater cost. In the end, Charles would undoubtedly owe Genosha a much bigger favor.

After thinking it through briefly, Charles started heading up the mountain.

Already, from just the three trials, he had gained quite a lot. It was no surprise, given that this was the Genosha royal secret realm good things were abundant.

However, Charles overlooked one thing: only he could gain so much. If it had been any other genius going through all three trials, they wouldn’t have received as much as he had.

Soon, Charles arrived at the location of the fourth trial. The surroundings had changed drastically compared to the path he had just walked up.

To the left of the small path was the icy cold emanating from frozen ice, and to the right was flowing magma.

The cold and the high temperatures created vast amounts of steam, making everything around seem blurry and unclear.

"This… this is almost like the Eye of Ice and Fire," Charles said with a helpless smile. It seemed the fourth trial wouldn’t yield any major rewards.

At this moment, the other geniuses who had entered the secret realm with Charles were still struggling in the third trial.

Grace had blood spilling from her mouth. She had tried to force her way forward a bit but was injured internally by the surrounding pressure.

"I can’t rush this. This trial… no one else will finish quickly. I need to let my body gradually adapt to this high gravity environment. No need to rush!"

Grace kept analyzing in her mind, moving slowly forward.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but she finally managed to make her way out of the third trial with great difficulty!

When Grace looked at the Bronze Division colored stone tablet in front of her, she froze for a moment, seeing a name she really didn’t want to see.

Second place: Charles, time 63 minutes, Fourth level Beast Master

Charles had passed the third trial before her?

How could this happen?

Grace took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She thought for a moment, and an idea came to her mind.

Charles must have entered the trials earlier than everyone else, but because of his poor results, his name hadn’t appeared on the leaderboard until now.

This explanation made sense.

"Three trials, and only in this one does your name appear. Charles, you’re not as untouchable as everyone thinks," Grace muttered quietly.

She looked at her own name, which was just below Charles’s.

Third place: Grace, time 65 minutes, Fourth level Beast Master

Seeing this, Grace tightly gripped the item in her hand. According to the rules, as a Fourth level Beast Master, her ranking shouldn’t have been above Luna’s.

But she had a treasure, though she didn’t know exactly what it was. Still, it had been continuously helping her.

Grace glanced at the blue stone in her hand, took a deep breath, and after collecting her reward, quickly made her way to the next trial.

"Each trial has its own ranking, which means there’s a good chance that the final decision on who will receive the inheritance will be based on the overall ranking."

"The first place person, Hale, probably didn’t choose the inheritance he’s very confident in himself."

"My overall ranking must be much higher than Charles’s. I will not lose to him!" Grace gritted her teeth.

What she didn’t know was that the Genosha royal secret realm had two separate rankings. One was for ordinary geniuses, and the other was a hidden ranking only visible to true geniuses.

Fourth Trial: The Road of Ice and Fire

When Grace saw the fourth trial, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. The stone in her hand could provide wind attribute energy and increase her speed. As long as there were no surprises, it would allow her to complete the fourth trial in less time.

After Grace, both Luna and Finn emerged from the third trial, one after the other.

Their results were similar, with Luna ranked fourth and Finn ranked fifth.

Soon, the two of them caught up with Grace and arrived at the entrance to the fourth trial.
