Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

In the second level of the Trial Tower, Charles frowned at the three Beast Masters wrapped in white mist before him.

Not only was there one more opponent, but the scenery had also changed from a forest to a swamp.

The mystical beasts summoned by the three Beast Masters were all water-type, giving them a clear advantage in a place like the swamp.

Moreover, due to the swampy terrain, Charles's quick travel ability was significantly restricted.

He had a premonition that this battle would not be as simple as the last one.

However, Charles did not intend to summon a mystical beast for assistance. He wanted to test whether he could take down these three Beast Masters using only his physical abilities!

He had discovered in the first level of the Trial Tower that only in dangerous situations did the insights he gained from the stone wall transform quickly into his own skills.

By not relying on mystical beasts, he could gain a better understanding of combat skills!

With this in mind, Charles stopped hesitating, gripped his long knife tightly, and charged at the three level-three Beast Masters and their nine mystical beasts, initiating an attack that was entirely his own!

Three minutes later,

Charles plunged his long knife into the mud and leaned against its handle, gasping for breath!

Behind him, the Beast Masters wrapped in white mist and their mystical beasts began to dissipate, turning into swirling fog that enveloped the surroundings.

Charles paid no mind to what was happening around him, he focused on the information in his vision and began to think.

[Unknown Combat Skill in Progress, 15%]

It seemed his intuition was correct!

Indeed, the more dangerous the situation, the faster he could comprehend combat skills. Before coming to Cyber Academy, he had never heard of such a concept as combat skills.

Clearly, combat skills were not mainstream, they were something only a select few Beast Masters could learn.

Charles was not satisfied with learning just one combat skill.

What he had been contemplating was an even bolder idea: there were still many figures on the stone wall in the center of the Trial Tower that he had yet to comprehend.

He wondered if it would be possible to comprehend all those figures, then learn from their strengths and weaknesses, continuously gaining insights until he mastered a combat skill that was the most suitable for him and also the strongest!

Charles took a deep breath and then exhaled. If he could truly achieve that, the path to becoming a genuine powerhouse would be much smoother.

However, Charles was also somewhat worried, it would likely require a lot of time and energy.

According to Dean Jamie and Colton, the situation in Genosha wouldn't remain peaceful for long, a turmoil was certain to arise in the near future.

Before that, he needed to elevate his Beast Master level as much as possible, contract higher-quality mystical beasts, and enhance his combat power!

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time. I can't rush things too much. I can just come back to the Trial Tower whenever I have time." Charles planned. In the coming period, his main focus would be on training as a Beast Master and tackling the Trial Tower.

Back at the stone wall in the center of the Trial Tower, Charles continued to think about Catherine while comprehending the figures on the wall, just like last time.

Soon, this time, he found that his comprehension was even faster than before.

Without the time to ponder why, Charles didn't rest long and continued toward the third level of the Trial Tower!

Once again, the white mist dissipated, and this time his opponent was only a level-four Beast Master, who summoned a fire-type mystical beast, and the scene in the third level of the Trial Tower was set on a volcano!

The intense fire energy surrounding him continuously boosted the strength of the opposing Beast Master.

For others, this might have been a more difficult challenge, but for Charles, it was a relief.

He felt he could handle a level-four Beast Master and four mystical beasts.

The three level-three Beast Masters and nine mystical beasts from the second level had almost forced him to summon Mia, Mousie, and Max.

There was no choice, at that moment, attacks from enemies surrounded Charles from all directions, and he nearly faced defeat.

Taking a deep breath, Charles declared he wouldn't summon any mystical beasts and initiated the battle!

Outside the Trial Tower.

The crowd of onlookers remained in place, and furthermore, numerous students were continuously gathering around.

Clearly, they had also heard about a new student who had lit up half of the testing crystal and was currently challenging the Trial Tower!

Anyone would feel a strong curiosity about this student, such a thing had never happened at Cyber Academy before!

In the academy known for only accepting geniuses, any student could be considered a true genius in the outside world, but among this group of geniuses, a monster had emerged!

Even Ethan, the teacher responsible for the practical training in Class A, had rushed over.

He quickly spotted Zachary and Camilla standing outside and asked, "Have you two been here since the beginning? Are you sure it was Charles who went in?"

Camilla nodded and replied, "Teacher Ethan, Charles really went into the Trial Tower, and he only took thirty-three seconds on the first level. He took a bit longer on the second level and is now in the third level of the Trial Tower."

Ethan fell into deep thought upon hearing this, he was well aware of Charles's combat abilities.

For someone who could make him want to compete with Ezra for a disciple, taking thirty-three seconds on the first level of the Trial Tower seemed unusual.

"That shouldn't be right, if Charles could enter the Trial Tower, with his abilities, he shouldn't have taken that long on the first level!" Ethan couldn't help but voice his doubts.

Many people recognized him and gathered around, eager to hear his thoughts on Charles.

To their surprise, they were all taken aback by what they heard. Someone exclaimed:

"Teacher Ethan, thirty-three seconds is still considered long, I couldn't do that even if you killed me!"

"Exactly! Charles taking thirty-three seconds already makes him a genius among geniuses. Isn't that enough?"

Ethan waved his hand, in his eyes, there were significant differences even among geniuses.

Charles's combat abilities had left a lasting impression on him!

"He's not like you all, thirty-three seconds must indicate something unusual!" Ethan responded.

Aero stood to the side and muttered softly, "What could be the issue? Could it be that he didn't summon any mystical beasts and solved the two enemies of the same level by himself? Dream on!"

Unexpectedly, Ethan heard his voice, and his eyes lit up as he murmured, "That's right, that must be it! Only that can explain why it took thirty-three seconds."

Ethan recalled the scenes from his battles with Charles and all the footage he had later found of Charles in action, continuously simulating them in his mind.

He meticulously reconstructed all of Charles's battles on the first level of the Trial Tower and calculated the time, finding a difference of about three or four seconds.

"These three or four seconds should be the adjustment time for entering the Trial Tower for the first time, that makes perfect sense." Ethan confirmed to himself, realizing that Charles hadn't summoned any mystical beasts!

He looked up at the big screen, observing the time Charles took on the second level of the Trial Tower and began to speculate again. However, the estimated time turned out to be significantly quicker than the actual time.

"It must be due to the environment, perhaps the constraints of the second level's terrain limited Charles's speed, leading to this result. I wonder if it was a swamp or underwater, it should be the former." Ethan continued.

Everyone nearby was left confused, completely unaware of what Ethan was talking about.

Aero couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, how much time do you think Charles took on the third level of the Trial Tower?"

Ethan thought for a moment and replied, "It should be within three minutes. If he still hasn't summoned any mystical beasts, it would likely be between two minutes and two and a half minutes, depending on the specific battle scenario!"

The next moment, the information on the big screen refreshed!

Charles, Trial Tower third level time: two minutes and thirty-six seconds!

This time was quite close to what Ethan had predicted, and someone swallowed hard, incredulously exclaiming, "Could it be true that Charles really didn't summon any mystical beasts and relied solely on his physical strength and combat experience?"

"Oh my gosh, could it really be? If so, Charles is simply invincible! I wouldn't even dare to dream about such a thing!"

"I said it before, Charles is different from us, he can definitely comprehend a combat skill in just one week!"

Ethan ignored the chatter around him, if not for the fear of disturbing Charles, he would have gone in to ask him directly.

"Ezra, oh Ezra, you are so lucky to have found someone like Charles as a disciple. Damn it! Why couldn't I be the first to discover him?" Ethan thought to himself.

This was the first time he had encountered a genius like Charles, if he weren't afraid of Ezra beating him up, he would have snatched Charles away long ago!

With that thought, Ethan looked up at the big screen outside the Trial Tower again, wondering what kind of combat skill Charles might comprehend.

There are many combat skills within the Trial Tower, but only a few are truly powerful.

He hoped even more that Charles could create a unique combat skill through one battle after another, that way, Charles's potential and future would be immeasurable!

However, this was just a bold thought from Ethan, and he knew the likelihood was low.

The prerequisite for creating a unique combat skill is having incredible comprehension!

At the very least, one must perceive no less than fifteen silhouettes on the stone wall to have that possibility!

Ethan sighed, Charles was already a monster as he was, and he shouldn't have higher expectations.

With his fists tightly clenched, a new goal began to form in Ethan's mind.

Ever since he traveled through Genosha, challenging seventh-level Beast Masters, he hadn't had such a clear goal.

"Ezra, just you wait. Once I become an eighth-level Beast Master, I will snatch Charles away and make him my disciple!" Ethan silently vowed to himself!
