Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The twinkling starlight floated around, resembling the calmest deep night of a summer, with countless stars illuminating every corner of the night sky.

It's hard to imagine such a scene occurring during the day.

In the blink of an eye, the entire stadium was filled with countless stars drifting in the wind, swaying in the air, looking breathtakingly beautiful, as if carrying an unusual charm that captivated everyone.

Even the ever-vigilant Level9 Beast Master Ezra couldn't help but slightly relax his guard, carefully observing the starlight floating in the air.

Let alone the others, Jamie and Nathaniel, both Level8 Beast Masters, had long been entranced by the starlight.

Only Charles shook his head slightly, watching the hourglass in Cuny's hand, from which the starlight was emanating, with some wariness.

"Is this the power of a demigod, as the mysterious person mentioned? It's so terrifying that it makes one subconsciously abandon vigilance and resistance?" Charles took a deep breath, just as he was about to dodge.@@novelbin@@

Soon, he realized that the starlight in the air wasn't coming near him at all.

At that moment, Cuny looked up in surprise, glancing at Charles before slowly saying:

"You actually woke up?" Cuny's mouth slightly opened, clearly astonished.

He looked at Ezra, who had completely relaxed his guard, then back at Charles, whose eyes were full of caution, gaining a clearer understanding of Charles in his mind.

This guy Charles definitely had an incredibly steadfast heart and powerful will, even Cuny's use of the demigod-level [Memory Hourglass] couldn't affect Charles for too long!

"Indeed, anyone who possesses that kind of object is not to be underestimated." Cuny silently thought to himself.

He didn't stop shaking the [Memory Hourglass]. In an instant, the starlight floating in the air seeped into the foreheads of the others.

Those invaded by the starlight offered no resistance or struggle, as if they had fallen asleep.

Taking advantage of this moment, Cuny slowly said, "Some things can only be said now, once everyone else wakes up, they won't remember what happened today."

"Right now, the situation isn't very good. The [Abyssal Cult] that attacked you today, I will personally investigate how they came to the Ethereal Grove."

"Also, to enter the Abyssal Great Wall, your strength must reach Level9 Beast Master. However, your talent is promising. When you reach Level8 Beast Master, you might be able to give it a try."

"Before that, I will do my best to conceal any information about that thing inside you."

Charles listened to Cuny's words and nodded slightly. He could sense some ominous premonitions from Cuny's serious tone.

According to what Cuny said and what had happened today, there must be a terrifying presence outside the Ethereal Grove.

A large number of Level9 Beast Masters were stationed within the Abyssal Great Wall to prevent external invasions.

Moreover, the internal unity of the Ethereal Grove was not very strong, and there was a high chance of traitors existing.

As Charles pondered, Cuny casually placed the [Memory Hourglass] in the air, then took out a white mask and handed it to Charles, saying earnestly:

"Every move I make will be watched by many people. Standing too high means there will be more attention. I also can't stay by your side to protect you all the time."

"So, take this mask. When necessary, inject blood and fire attribute energy into it to summon me."

"Just try not to use it unless it's critical. You should understand what that implies."

Without any hesitation, Charles reached out and took the white mask, looking at it seriously. Immediately, information prompts appeared in his eyes:

[Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council [Golden Quality]: A special mask personally forged by the president of the Beast Master Guild, the Master of the Tower, with a unique significance.

Effect1: Breath Concealment. The wearer can hide their aura, making them undetectable to anyone below Level9 Beast Master.

Effect2: Attribute Energy Absorption. The mask can absorb enemy attribute energy attacks and store them within the mask, supplementing the wearer's attribute energy at critical moments.

Effect3: Phantom Summoning. By using blood and fierce fire, it can summon the phantom of Cuny, the Master of the Tower. The phantom's strength will be influenced by the wearer's own strength and fire attribute energy. Currently, the summonable phantom's strength is Level9 Beast Master, with a duration of one minute.

"Note: After performing Phantom Summoning, if the mask is damaged and not repaired, all effects will disappear."

Charles instinctively tightened his grip on the [Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council], which was a golden-quality item!

It's worth noting that the only truly golden-quality item Charles had seen so far was the staff in Lucas's hands!

Charles still remembered the details about that staff:

[Light Staff Star Pseud [Golden Quality]: Forged from special materials. Due to material limitations and deficiencies in blacksmithing techniques, it is still far from the legendary true Light Staff. However, even so, its power is undeniable.

Effect1: Curse Removal, using light attribute energy to eliminate curses on items, mystical beasts, and Beast Masters.

Effect2: Purification, using the staff to attack can inflict double damage on dark attribute mystical beasts and Beast Masters, and can purify some low-intensity unknown horrific effects.

Effect3: Heart's Illusion, capable of creating a highly realistic illusion that immerses the person within, making it difficult to distinguish reality from deception."

As a level nine Beast Master, Lucas's [Light Staff Star Pseud] was instantly overshadowed by the Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council.

There's no need to mention anything else, the last ability, [Phantom Summoning], was the most suitable for Charles.

What can a level nine Beast Master summoned for only one minute accomplish?

The answer is effortlessly destroying a city!

Moreover, this isn't a fixed summoning time, as Charles's strength increases, the summoned phantom will become even more powerful and will last longer!

Without a doubt, the [Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council] instantly became Charles's most important and formidable trump card.

Of course, under special circumstances, the unknown power within Charles wouldn't be much weaker than the Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council!

Even Charles, who had always maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor, couldn't help but take a deep breath, striving to calm himself once more.

He reflected on Cuny's earlier words, that it was best not to use the last effect of the [Substitute Mask for the Ten-Person Council] unless absolutely necessary.

Charles understood that doing so might expose his existence. If he attracted too much attention, the secrets he carried might be discovered by others.

Thinking of this, Charles slowly nodded and replied, "I understand. I won't summon you unless it's critical."

Cuny sighed and said:

"It's only temporary. Once I figure out who the traitors within are, you can use it freely. By then, all the powerhouses of the Ethereal Grove will support you."

"Because you are the hope of all of us." Cuny thought deeply about this statement in his heart, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Charles right now.

Once he confirmed that certain individuals hadn't betrayed the Ethereal Grove, he would naturally reveal Charles' existence. At that point, Charles would become the most important person in the entire Ethereal Grove!

"There's one more thing. Recently, the attribute energy in the Ethereal Grove is about to experience an unprecedented eruption. You need to seize this opportunity to enhance your strength!" As Cuny spoke, he slowly reached out and grasped the Memory Hourglass again. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"Attribute energy eruption?" Charles asked curiously, as he had never heard of such a thing before.

Cuny explained briefly:

It turned out that attribute energy eruptions had happened before. Each time the enemies outside the Ethereal Grove showed signs of movement, various attribute energies within the Ethereal Grove would quietly erupt. At that time, the strength of the Beast Masters in the Ethereal Grove would experience a rapid increase.

During this period, the difficulty of breaking through from Level8 Beast Master to Level9 Beast Master would be greatly reduced, and the quality of most mystical beasts would also improve, raising their levels and enhancing their power.

Various rare alchemy materials and forging materials would become much easier to obtain!

"This isn't a good thing, is it?" Charles took a deep breath, keenly sensing the underlying crisis behind the attribute energy eruption.

Cuny silently nodded and slowly said, "Very perceptive. In the past, there was never such a strong omen of attribute energy eruption. This indicates one thing: the Ethereal Grove is nearing a critical moment of life and death."

"The Ethereal Grove has no choice but to do this, only then will there be a glimmer of hope, a hope for saving the world!"

Cuny's words were very heavy, and he cast a complex look at Charles, warning him:

"In chaotic times, monsters emerge. The number of geniuses will only increase in the future. Some geniuses from previous eras, who fell into a deep slumber through special means, should soon awaken."

"When that happens, you won't be competing solely against the geniuses of this era for resources. Charles, you must not become complacent.

"Geniuses from previous eras are about to awaken?

Charles's pupils slightly contracted, but he didn't feel any tension.He took a deep breath, a hint of excitement creeping into his voice as he said:

"Are those geniuses who awaken from their slumber very strong?"
