Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Early the next morning, Lily, holding her waist, slowly walked out of Charles's room. discover stories on mvlem-pyr

After they had breakfast, Catherine eagerly sought out Charles and said, "Can we spar today? You turned me down yesterday because you were planning to spar with Lily at night, right?"

Spar with Lily at night?

Charles looked at Catherine in surprise. Seeing her serious expression with no hint of deception, he realized something and cautiously asked, "You think I was sparring with Lily last night?"

"Well, weren't you? Next time, you can just go to the open space outside. The room is too small," Catherine replied, unaware of the misunderstanding. She continued, "If we can spar later, I hope you'll use all your strength. I noticed that sister Lily seemed injured when she came out today. If you could do the same to me, that would be even better!"

Charles couldn't help but chuckle. He had made quite a bit of noise last night, and Lily couldn't hold back, resulting in her yelling loudly. Catherine must have heard it. But why did she think he was sparring with Lily?

"Can I ask you something? Besides training, what do you usually do?" Charles inquired.

Catherine thought for a moment and replied, "I practice my combat skills, and then it's just eating and sleeping."

"What about other things? Like watching TV or scrolling through short videos?"

"No, those won't raise my Beast Master level or improve my combat skills," Catherine said, looking at Charles as if he were strange. Her life revolved around training, fighting, reflecting, and then continuing to train and fight!

Charles slapped his forehead. He finally understood why Catherine thought that way; she was just a pure battle fanatic!

"So, can we spar now?" Catherine asked again, genuinely curious about Charles. She wanted to know why Ezra had taken him as a disciple.

Charles nodded.

The two of them went to the open space outside the villa, and the battle began!

Two hexagrams lit up as Max and Mousie were summoned.

Seeing only two mystical beasts, Catherine furrowed her brow, and her tone became serious. "Charles, please summon your other mystical beasts as well. Are you trying to take it easy on me?"

Charles felt a bit awkward. Although he was now a Level 3 Beast Master, he hadn't found a third mystical beast yet and didn't want to settle for just any contract. He explained, "I'm a Level 3 Beast Master, but I only have two mystical beasts. I'm not trying to take it easy on you!"

"Level 3 Beast Master?" Catherine became even more serious. "Alright, I'll use only two mystical beasts as well, and I'll keep my strength at the Level 3 Beast Master level!"

Two hexagrams lit up as Catherine summoned her two gold-element mystical beasts.

——[Steel Warhorse]——

Attribute: Gold

Level: 38

Quality: Platinum

Skills: Steel Strengthening, Brutal Charge, War Trampling, Move Quickly

Weakness: Wood Attribute

...

——[Mysterious Silver Spirit Cat]——

Attribute: Gold

Level: 38

Quality: Platinum

Skills: High-Speed Recovery, Physical Enhancement, Silent Dash, Weak Point Attack

Weakness: Wood Attribute

...

Charles looked at the information displayed on the screen, taking a sharp breath. No wonder Ezra said Catherine was terrifyingly strong! Both mystical beasts were gold-elemental and of platinum quality!

Although Max and Mousie were also platinum, there was a significant level gap—16 levels apart!

"Do I need to withdraw one of my mystical beasts?" Catherine realized the issue; her mystical beasts were far superior in level compared to Charles's, giving her a considerable advantage before the battle even began.

Charles shook his head, indicating it wasn't necessary. In real combat, there's no such thing as fairness, and opportunities to face strong opponents were rare. The greater the pressure, the more one could gain from the battle!

"Mousie, can you replicate the [Steel Warhorse]?" Charles quietly asked Mousie. He wanted to confirm their attack strategy; intelligence was part of strength!

"Master, I can, but the strength of the [Mimetic Illusion] will be slightly lower," Mousie replied.

"That's fine, just follow my lead!" Charles was ready. Catherine didn't know about Mousie's ability, so he planned to have Mousie fly up high to attract her attention. Then, while she was distracted, he would replicate the [Steel Warhorse] behind her for a surprise attack, which would surely cause her some trouble!

Charles took a deep breath. "Let the battle begin!"

In an instant, the [Steel Warhorse] and [Mysterious Silver Spirit Cat] charged toward Max and Mousie, directly engaging them.

"Max, use [Ice Pick Throwing] to block their attack!" Charles commanded while moving quickly, setting his sights on Catherine!

Catherine wore an excited expression as a golden aura flickered around her. With the effects of [Physical Enhancement] boosting her, she stomped her feet, unleashing a shockwave that swept around her.

Her speed was incredible!

Charles even caught a glimpse of a blurred afterimage behind her!

Before Charles could react, he instinctively raised his arm to block Catherine's attack.

"Bang!"

A tremendous sound erupted!

It felt like a rhino charging at full force had slammed into his arm. Charles's leg muscles strained as he was pushed back four or five meters, his feet leaving two deep impressions in the muddy ground.

"This is just too insane!" Charles's arms felt numb and painful! He had thought his physical strength was already impressive, but compared to Catherine, there was still a significant gap!

"Not bad! A Level 3 Beast Master could take my punch. Charles, you're really strong," Catherine said, a bit surprised. Typically, an ordinary Level 4 Beast Master, without using [Beast Mastery], would have already spat blood from such a hit.

At first, she had worried that Charles wouldn't be able to handle it, so she had intentionally held back her strength. It was only after seeing that he was fine that she gradually increased her power!

"Now it's my turn!" Charles had no intention of playing defensively. He understood that only by attacking could he create opportunities!

Gripping the Ice and Fire Supreme Spear, he charged forward while shouting, "Mousie!"

The [Steel Warhorse] quietly appeared behind Catherine and unleashed [War Trampling].

"What!" Catherine didn't immediately register what was happening. At first, when she saw Max use [Ice Pick Throwing], she instinctively thought of Charles as an ice-element Beast Master. Now, there was a [Steel Warhorse] behind her as well!

What was going on? Could Charles possess both ice and gold attributes at the same time?

There was no time to ponder further. Catherine decisively activated [Brutal Charge], charging straight toward Charles's attack!

Her combat skills, honed through years of training, allowed her to narrowly dodge the attack from behind!

At the same time, her fists turned completely gold, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and she managed to block the Ice and Fire Supreme Spear with sheer force!

"[Puncture Thorn]!"

Charles shouted, and the Supreme Spear shot out from his palm, carrying an explosive storm of icy and fiery energy that forced Catherine to retreat continuously!

"Charles! You're really strong!" Catherine praised him once more, astonished by the power of his attack!

"Is that so? There's more." Charles took a deep breath, controlling the elemental energy in the Ice and Fire Supreme Spear, and unleashed [Energy Bomb]!

The [Energy Bomb] gathered ice and fire elements, forming a chaotic elemental shockwave that triggered a powerful explosion.

Due to the close distance and worried about injuring himself, Charles quickly cast an [Ice and Fire Barrier] around himself.

"Boom!"

The sound of the explosion rang out, and the violent shockwave shattered the villa's windows.

Catherine's clothes were torn to shreds, leaving her covered in dirt and dust. Although she wasn't injured, she had to exert her full strength as a Level 4 Beast Master to face the [Energy Bomb].

It was clear that she had lost this sparring match.

"I see now why Ezra took you as his apprentice. You're strong, Charles!" Catherine said seriously, looking at him. At that moment, she viewed Charles as a peer, no, an opponent with even greater potential than herself!

"Charles?" Catherine noticed that Charles was staring blankly at her. Following his gaze, she looked at herself and realized that her clothes could no longer cover the important parts. Her well-defined chest was half exposed, and her tanned skin was almost completely bare.

"Ah!!!" Catherine exclaimed, quickly turning and rushing back inside the house.

Before Charles could take in the sight any further, he heard Lily's voice from the broken window on the second floor, "Do you like what you see?"

"Of course... not as good as yours!" Charles replied nonchalantly, pretending nothing had happened as he calmly returned to the villa.

It wasn't until noon that Catherine finally emerged from her room.

When she saw Charles in the living room, the calm she had finally managed to achieve was immediately shattered, with her mother's words echoing in her mind: "Only your future husband can..."

"Um, I didn't mean to. Are you okay?" Charles noticed Catherine's presence and quickly apologized.

"I'm fine." She said this even as she turned and retreated into her room, shutting the door behind her.

Leaning against the door, her heart raced, and a flush crept across her face.
