Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Mia: "Huh? Is that possible? Master, I never thought of it, but I can give it a try. The thing is, I can't control all the wind blades at once; I can only direct them towards a general area."

"Alright, then after this fight, you should try it out when you get back. Who knows, there might be some unexpected surprises." Charles replied.

He had just noticed a flaw in Mia's Frenzied Gale Slash: when facing large, defensively strong enemies, it was somewhat ineffective. Cassian's Mutated Two Headed Mole was the perfect example.

Another reason for this was that the level gap between Mia and the Mutated Two Headed Mole was too large. If Mia and the Mutated Two Headed Mole were the same level, the result would certainly be different.

"The difference in mystical beast numbers and levels will have to be compensated by me," Charles thought as he gripped his black gold long knife, pushing his body to its limits.

Truth be told, his battles rarely involved him having more mystical beasts than his opponent. In fact, that situation almost never occurred.

Because he himself could make up for the difference!

The next moment, facing Cassian, who held the supreme spear, and Cassian's six earth elemental mystical beasts, Charles gently patted Max by his side and said:

"Partner, let's fight!"

Then, with a powerful push of his right foot, the crimson floor cracked open, revealing the black soil beneath. A stronger scent of rust filled the air.

Charles' body shot forward like a cannonball, charging directly toward Cassian.

Cassian's eyes lit up at Charles' movement. This was a perfect opportunity! A level four Beast Master daring to face a level six Beast Master head on? He must have a death wish!

However, that initial excitement quickly faded, replaced by a feeling of being underestimated.

"You really have no idea how big the difference is, do you? You actually dare to take me head on. Watch me knock you flying with a single strike!" Cassian sneered, his expression vicious. He subtly adjusted the tip of his spear, aiming directly for Charles' chest.

Since this was a full force battle, some mistakes could happen. If he accidentally pierced Charles' chest, no one would be able to say anything about it.

And then, he'd have his mystical beasts kill all of Charles' four mystical beasts!

Once that was done, Charles would be completely finished!

Just as Cassian thought his plan was going perfectly, the collision of weapons between him and Charles left him completely dumbfounded!

"Bang!" The loud sound of the impact echoed through the air. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Charles staggered back three steps before managing to resist the immense shockwave caused by the collision.

As for Cassian, his body was sent flying backward. Luckily, his quick reflexes kicked in, and he drove the tip of his supreme spear into the ground, managing to stabilize himself.

"What the hell, is this for real? A level four Beast Master just knocked Cassian flying?"

"Did I see that right?"

"No, you're not mistaken. That's insane, what kind of Beast Master is this? He's more like a humanoid mystical beast!"

"A mystical beast? More like a ferocious beast!"

"How can someone's physical strength be this insane? Aside from that person on the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies, I really didn't expect to see another Beast Master with physical strength comparable to a ferocious beast!"

"My god, this is unbelievable! If Charles were a bit younger and had a higher Beast Master level, he might even make it onto the Special Rankings!"

Countless spectators began to discuss among themselves, their voices filled with astonishment, filling the entire arena. Calista, however, stood frozen, the smile on his face stiffening.

He hadn't expected this outcome. When had Cassian, a level six Beast Master, become so weak? He had been knocked back by Charles in a direct confrontation.

"It must be because Cassian underestimated him, and Charles has specifically trained his body. That's why this happened. But Cassian will quickly recover and go all out to take Charles down!" Calista thought to himself.

Cassian, completely stunned, slowly got to his feet. He looked at the marks on the ground left by his supreme spear and took a deep breath. Then he spoke to Charles:

"I didn't expect you to have some skills, but unfortunately, being strong isn't enough. You probably don't understand what true genius is!"

"This move was originally something I planned to use to break into the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies. Now, I have no choice but to show you what I can really do."

"The gap between ordinary Beast Masters and geniuses like us isn't just about the quality of mystical beasts, talent in cultivation, weapons, or even combat techniques!"

Charles, holding his black gold long knife, tilted his head slightly as he looked at Cassian, seemingly puzzled.

"Hmph, ignorant. My mystical beast may not be as good as yours, but my supreme spear is orange quality!"

"Charles, now you're going to experience the power of my self created combat technique, The Field of Geotechnical Engineering. You should consider yourself fortunate!" Cassian said slowly.

Charles raised his eyes slightly, giving Cassian a longer look, then Cassian arrogantly added, "You probably don't even know what a self created combat technique is, do you?"

Before Charles could respond, the onlookers around them became extremely excited, whispering to one another:

"Is that for real? Cassian also created his own combat technique?"

"Many of the geniuses on the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies have self created combat techniques. If Cassian has really done it, he'll definitely make it onto the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies!"

"I don't think that's necessarily the case."

"Well then, let's take a good look and see what Cassian's self created combat technique, The Field of Geotechnical Engineering, is all about!"

Callum was also quite eager to see Cassian's self created combat technique. However, he agreed with others that Cassian might not be able to make it into the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies just because of his self created technique.

The Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies is highly prestigious. The top three on the list are considered the most impressive among the members of the Ten Man Council. Two of them have already been selected as apprentices by the council, leaving just one more spot, which is quite special.

This person's physical attributes and strength are even more monstrous than Charles's. The only requirement for their contracted mystical beast is that it must enhance their physical capabilities to an extraordinary level.

"Your apprentice might be in trouble. His Beast Master rank is too low, and his background isn't great. He has limited access to a wide range of combat techniques, and he won't be able to create his own techniques either. That puts him at a significant disadvantage." Callum turned to Ezra and said.

Ezra didn't answer right away. Instead, he looked toward Metamorpher, the head teacher at Cyber Academy, and slowly asked:

"The stone walls in the Trial Tower of the main academy... they should be the same as those in the other branches, right?"

Metamorpher was puzzled by the question but answered seriously, "There's only one difference. The stone walls at the main academy are the originals, while the ones in the branches are replicas. Aside from that, there's no difference."

It was only then that Ezra turned back to Callum and replied, "Charles is a student at Cyber Academy. He can enter the Trial Tower, which means he has access to many combat techniques."

"That's not quite right," Metamorpher interjected, frowning. "Although there are many combat techniques on the stone walls, it depends on one's understanding. Most students only grasp one or two basic forms from the stone walls, and then they might fully comprehend them through the Trial Tower. That's already impressive enough."

Even though Cyber Academy students have access to combat techniques, they don't have the same resources as the young elites from the great families of Central City. Those families have dedicated combat technique instructors who begin teaching their children different techniques from a very young age!

"My apprentice is different. Just wait and see," Ezra said casually.

At this moment, Metamorpher suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Could he be the one who learned all the combat techniques from the stone walls? The Charles who managed to create his own combat technique in such a short time?"

Ezra gave a slight nod.

A look of undeniable shock appeared on Metamorpher's face, a face filled with the mature charm of a woman. She murmured to herself, "When I first heard the news from the Genosha branch, I thought it was a lie. It was just too unbelievable. There was someone at the main academy who also learned all the combat techniques from the Trial Tower's stone walls, but that person took a full two years to do it!"

Callum looked at Metamorpher in surprise. When he saw that her shock seemed genuine, he turned to look at Ezra, who was still as calm as ever.

"Wait, your earlier description of your apprentice... wasn't that supposed to be a compliment, or was it just a straightforward statement?" Callum asked slowly.

Ezra looked at him with some confusion, then responded, "A compliment? I don't even know how to compliment Charles. I've already said, he deserves to be an apprentice to a member of the Ten Man Council."

"When he comes to Central City, you'll see just how talented he truly is."

"Remember, if I don't return... don't tell him anything about me. Just find him another suitable teacher."

Ezra looked at Callum seriously again, and there was no trace of false emotion in his eyes. It was as if he was already preparing for the possibility that he might die and was planning how to ensure Charles would be taken care of.

"You..." Callum didn't know what to say. He could only close his mouth. He wanted to persuade Ezra, but Ezra's personality was incredibly stubborn, and right now, Callum felt powerless.

"One more thing, help me with one more favor." Ezra only said "help me," but didn't specify what exactly he needed.

However, Callum understood very well what Ezra was asking for: It was information on Venoma's son from the Beast Sect!
