Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"I can't help you. After you come back, investigate it yourself," Callum said in a low voice. He glanced at Ezra as if he wanted to say something more, but quickly turned his head to focus on the battle near Charles.

At this moment, Kieran was ready to use his self created combat techniques. He continued to have his mystical beast attack while focusing intently on channeling the earth type energy inside his body. Then, he took a small handful of sand like material from his storage item and began sprinkling it around.

Charles looked confused. He had seen other people's self created combat techniques, but he had never seen one that required the use of external items to assist in its execution.

The information prompt in front of Charles clearly displayed details about the substance Cassian was sprinkling:

[Heart of the Earth (Orange Quality): A special material that can be used to forge equipment or concoct miracle drugs. However, the Heart of the Earth has another unique application: it can harness earth type energy, drive the Heart of the Earth to gather surrounding earth materials, and, under the control of a Beast Master, briefly form a Field of Geotechnical Engineering.]**

[Field of Geotechnical Engineering: ] A special domain formed by the Heart of the Earth. The Beast Master can control gravity within this domain, increasing the gravitational pull on enemies to oppress them, slowing their movements, and, in extreme cases, even causing internal damage. Meanwhile, the Beast Master can reduce the effects of gravity on themselves and enhance their defense and recovery abilities within the Field of Geotechnical Engineering.]

Charles looked at the information prompt, particularly the lengthy description. He had originally thought that the Field of Geotechnical Engineering was some remarkable self created combat technique, but it turned out to be something that could only be formed with the help of a special item.

"Is this really a self created combat technique?" Charles couldn't help but voice the doubt in his mind.

Cassian's face instantly turned red as if someone had just brought up the most humiliating topic. Enraged, he shouted, "This is a self created combat technique! What do you know? You can't even create your own combat techniques, what do you understand about it!"

"Shut up and wait to die!"

In his fury, Cassian began to intensify his control over the earth type energy. The Heart of the Earth that had been scattered quickly absorbed the surrounding earth materials, rapidly turning into floating rocks, which filled the entire Barbaric Land.

It wasn't just Charles who had this question. Others present also shared the same confusion. It was the first time they had seen a self created combat technique that required external items to perform.

"Why does this feel so strange?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking the same. Is this really a self created combat technique? I've seen others on the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies with their self created techniques, and none of them were like this."

"Who cares? That Field of Geotechnical Engineering looks pretty powerful. Charles is in danger now."

"Ugh, the level difference is too great. If it were another level 4 Beast Master, they would've been killed by Charles already. Even level 5 Beast Masters can't withstand Charles' attacks!"

"Yeah, it's such a pity. Charles may be older, but his combat strength is still strong. It's just that he's going to fall here today."

"Such a reckless move. If he were a bit younger, he might've been able to become a genius in Central City and make it to the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies."

"You really underestimate the Ranking of the Heavenly Prodigies, don't you? Unless Charles also creates his own combat techniques, there's no way he can make it!"

However, at that moment, Charles calmly looked up at the floating rocks around him. He wasn't worried at all about Cassian's Field of Geotechnical Engineering.

As for why, when Charles had faced the gravity test in the Genosha Royal Secret Realm, he had found it insufficient for enhancing his body and had even figured out a way to increase the gravity of that test significantly.

Now, Charles was simply curious to see if Cassian's Field of Geotechnical Engineering would be as powerful as the test in the Genosha Royal Secret Realm of course, by "powerful," he meant after Charles had enhanced it himself.

"Hahaha, do you have anything else to say? Say it quickly, Charles, your time is running out!" Cassian laughed, completely full of confidence.

Using Field of Geotechnical Engineering against a level 4 Beast Master seemed like overkill to Cassian, but he didn't mind. It was a good opportunity to show others his strength and demonstrate his recent growth.

"I don't have much to say, except I hope you can surprise me," Charles said indifferently. His next move immediately drew Cassian's full attention.

Charles took out the Overlord Heavy Armor from his jet ring and put it on. Then, he fixed his gaze on Cassian, as if silently asking, Why haven't you started yet?

"What is this equipment? You don't think that just by wearing some random gear of unknown quality, you can defeat me in my self created combat technique, Field of Geotechnical Engineering, do you?" Cassian quickly asked.

Charles didn't even bother to answer. The reason he had equipped the Overlord Heavy Armor was to see if he could take advantage of Cassian's Field of Geotechnical Engineering to further enhance his physical abilities.

"I was right, wasn't I? Hmph, you're thinking too simply. Unless it's some top tier orange quality equipment, there's no way any armor can alleviate the pressure even a little bit!" Cassian declared confidently.

"Enough with the nonsense," Charles said impatiently. After dropping the words, he immediately grasped the black gold long knife and casually swung it, sending a slash of three different attributes in the form of black gold knife glow streaking toward Cassian!

Cassian was startled and quickly condensed a large, solid rock in front of him, just barely managing to block the blade's glow.

"Ambush! You're going to regret this!" Cassian shouted, and then immediately unleashed his full power.

In an instant, Charles felt a heavy pressure descend around him. The pressure felt very similar to what he had experienced in the Genosha Royal Secret Realm!

Charles slightly lifted his gaze, looking at Cassian in the distance. There was a faint glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

However, just as Charles was expecting more, the pressure around him seemed to reach its limit and didn't increase any further.

"No wonder you dared to fight me in the Barbaric Area. With this level of pressure, you didn't immediately kneel, so it seems your physical abilities are indeed strong."

"But that's it. By now, you should be unable to fight properly. The pressure inside the Field of Geotechnical Engineering is not something you can imagine. For an average Beast Master..."

Cassian's words were cut off halfway as he suddenly stopped talking.

He had just noticed a strange, inexplicable look of disappointment appear on Charles' otherwise calm face.

Disappointment?

What is he disappointed about?

At this moment, facing the pressure of the Field of Geotechnical Engineering, shouldn't Charles be in pain?

Shouldn't he be struggling to stay on his feet, his internal organs nearly damaged by the strain?

Why is he disappointed?

As Cassian struggled to understand, he saw Charles, just like before, casually swinging his long knife. With a single stroke, the blade cleaved the floor beneath him into countless pieces!

The flying shards hit Cassian's face, instantly snapping him back to reality.

"You're not affected by the Field of Geotechnical Engineering at all? Impossible! This can't be!"

"Field of Geotechnical Engineering is my trump card, my self created combat technique! No way, you're definitely just faking it. Stop pretending, give up already!" Cassian shouted loudly.

At this moment, Cassian was incredibly agitated. The Field of Geotechnical Engineering was something he had spent a long time researching and comprehending.

Cassian knew full well that, even though he was using a shortcut with external items to create his combat technique, it was still incredibly powerful. It wasn't truly a self created combat technique in the purest sense, but so what?

Field of Geotechnical Engineering was still strong! Any Beast Master facing such a sudden change in gravitational pressure would inevitably fall into a negative state, unable to exert their full strength. But in this field, he could reduce his own gravity and unleash greater power.

So why was it that this ability, meant to weaken his enemies and boost himself, seemed useless against Charles?

"Faking it? This level of pressure can be called oppression?" Charles said lightly.

If this had been before he entered the Genosha Royal Secret Realm, it might have caused him some trouble. But now, this level of pressure was nothing more than wearing a slightly thicker outfit for him, having almost no effect on his combat abilities.

"This is getting boring," Charles said, sounding disappointed. He didn't plan to keep dragging this out. It would be better to finish this fight quickly and go do other things, like taking Max and Mousie out to explore the Nightless District and see if there was any good food.

That was far more important than this fight.

With that thought in mind, Charles activated his self created combat technique, Divine Domain. In an instant, his entire presence shifted, as if he had become the master of the surrounding space. There was an indescribable force emanating from him.

Cassian, however, didn't feel much. He simply thought Charles had become a bit brighter, still lost in the feeling of failure that his Field of Geotechnical Engineering couldn't affect Charles.

But for Callum, who had been observing the battle from the sidelines, his expression changed to one of astonishment. He instinctively turned to look at Ezra and asked:

"Charles can also create his own combat techniques? And this one looks extremely unusual, like one of the strongest types a true domain type combat technique!"

"What is this self created combat technique called?"

Ezra immediately answered, "Divine Domain."

"Such an imposing name. Divine Domain... I knew there was something different about Charles, his aura has changed. It's like he's gained this divine presence, as though he's truly become someone who can control everything," Callum murmured.
