Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"Boom!"

Several level fifty mystical beasts clashed, their battle shaking the surrounding trees. A trunk over a meter in diameter was smashed in half, sending clouds of dust swirling into the air.

"Hale, how naïve! Do you really think a Level 4 Beast Master and three Level 3 Beast Masters can buy you enough time?" The black-robed figure gripped his long staff tightly and swung it at Hale.

Hale didn't respond; he focused all his energy on the black-robed figure, showing no concern for the attacks directed at the students. Uncle Ezra valued him, and he had faith that the others wouldn't disappoint!

Charles was determined to buy that minute, and he would make it happen! His focus now was to defeat the black-robed figure as quickly as possible to protect Charles and Catherine from harm.

"Ha, you're quite confident, aren't you? Just look..." The black-robed figure gestured for Hale to pay attention to the battle behind him, intending to distract him. But when Hale glanced over, a ripple of surprise washed over him.

Catherine was directly facing a Level 5 Beast Master, and rather than merely defending, she was choosing to attack! With skin glistening like metal and a ghostly speed, her strength was formidable.

In her [Beast Mastery] state, Catherine was actually overpowering the Level 5 Beast Master! Cornered, the Level 5 Beast Master resorted to his own [Beast Mastery] to counterattack.

Meanwhile, the other two Level 5 Beast Masters were similarly engaged—one was occupied with Joshua's remnant, while the other faced Charles head-on.

With the effects of a [Miraculous Speed Pill], [Blessing of Light], and [Beast Mastery], Charles's power and speed weren't on par with the Level 5 Beast Master, yet he unleashed a single-attribute [Black Gold Knife Glow], forcing the Level 5 Beast Master to retreat repeatedly.

"This... how is this possible?! A Level 3 Beast Master can actually contend with a Level 5 Beast Master?" The black-robed figure couldn't believe it. His moment of distraction allowed Hale to seize the opportunity!

Realizing the urgency, the black-robed figure desperately defended against Hale's attacks while shouting, "Are you all idiots? Hurry up and deal with those little brats!"

Feeling the pressure, the three Level 5 Beast Masters responded. Initially, only one had activated [Beast Mastery], but under the black-robed figure's urging, the other two quickly followed suit. Suddenly, not only was Catherine being suppressed, but Joshua's remnant also began to dim under the onslaught.

In this critical moment, Charles shouted to Catherine, "Remember last night?"

Catherine thought for a moment. Last night? The second type of sword glow that Charles had experimented with in the hotel basement? The black smoke that spread from the long blade and formed a pitch-black phantom?

Catherine recalled the power of that strike, strong enough to injure a Level 5 Beast Master, but she knew it wouldn't solve the current crisis. Yet, things had reached this point, and she chose to trust Charles.

She understood his intent; the second type of sword glow had a considerable attack range. If she could draw the two Beast Masters close together, it would maximize the damage.

In an instant, Catherine stealthily maneuvered to lure the enemies towards Charles, using her speed to lead them closer. Joshua's remnant had faded, but before the Level 5 Beast Master could celebrate, another shadow emerged.

Charles activated the [Fragment of Jade Tablet] once more. Having used all three opportunities, the fragment shattered, leaving him without that orange-quality item.

Now was not the time to feel regret.

Under Charles's control, the three masked Level 5 Beast Masters unknowingly gathered together.

What an opportunity!

Charles understood that the ice and fire attributes of the [Black Gold Knife Glow] would deal minimal damage against a Level 5 Beast Master in their [Beast Mastery] state. If they weren't using that state, there might still be hope. But now, life and death were at stake, and the wild idea that had been brewing in his mind was impossible to suppress any longer.

He had to try the three-attribute [Black Gold Knife Glow]!

Initially, Charles hadn't considered this approach, but seeing the [Blessing of Light]—which could enhance speed and defense while also improving a Beast Master's energy control—sparked inspiration. Enhancing a Beast Master's energy control was the opportunity he needed to turn the tide!

He began by channeling ice attribute energy into the [Black Gold Long Knife], then added fire attribute energy. The only thing left was the dark attribute energy.

With utmost care, Charles drew a thread of dark attribute energy and infused it into the [Black Gold Long Knife].

The moment the dark energy entered, it disrupted the balance of ice and fire, throwing all three energies into an extremely unstable state, on the verge of explosion!

But Charles remained calm, meticulously searching for the balance point.

Under the influence of the [Blessing of Light], Charles, guided by his intuition, increased the input of fire attribute energy while reducing the ice attribute energy, keeping the dark attribute energy constant.

The [Black Gold Long Knife] transformed, engulfed in black flames, causing the surrounding light to warp. An overwhelming aura of power radiated from the long knife, sinking the ground beneath Charles's feet by two centimeters, showcasing just how immense the knife's power was!

"Run!" The three level five Beast Masters reacted quickly, trying to escape at the first opportunity. But before they could turn around, Charles decisively swung the knife toward them!

The speed of the slash was astonishing, making it feel as if time had slowed down. The black and red blade light sliced through everything in its path, and even the level five Beast Masters' [Beast Mastery] could not withstand it. It cut through them like paper, smoothly severing the three Beast Masters in half!

The black-red blade light continued its unstoppable trajectory, flying into the distance.

"Boom!", "Boom!" ,"Boom!" The sound of falling trees echoed everywhere; every tree within a hundred meters was cut down!

In just one strike, not only did he slay the three level five Beast Masters, but he also flattened the surrounding forest!

"This... it's impossible! Monster, you're an absolute monster!" The cloaked figure was completely shattered, desperate to flee, but Hale would not give him that chance!

"Crack!"

A long knife of condensed wind attribute energy cleaved the cloaked figure in two.

Discover worlds on m _v _lempy _r.

The scene fell silent, except for the sounds of beasts, animals, and birds fleeing in all directions. Hale turned to look at the devastation Charles had caused, just about to speak when he saw Charles's figure stiffly fall backward!

...

Inside the SUV, Catherine's voice broke the silence, "Teacher Hale, Charles still hasn't woken up. He should be okay, right?"

"He's fine. He just exhausted himself too much; his body couldn't handle that level of energy. He'll be alright after some rest," Hale replied. Honestly, he was the most surprised in the vehicle.

While others were shocked by the destruction and the slaying of the level five Beast Masters, only Hale understood how incredibly difficult it was to channel three different energy attributes into the [Black Gold Long Knife] in such a short time!

In the back seat, Charles slowly opened his eyes. He was lying on Catherine's legs, and as he blinked awake, he met her anxious blue eyes filled with worry.

"You're awake? Thank goodness, I was so scared!" Catherine quickly grabbed a bottle of water and asked, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Charles felt utterly drained; after that powerful slash, he had lost consciousness. Now awake, he glanced at the screen in front of him, noting that after the battle, Max and Mousie had both leveled up to level 24.

Catherine opened the water bottle and carefully fed it to Charles. After taking a few sips, he started to regain some strength.

Leaning back in his seat, Charles realized it was certainly less comfortable than lying on Catherine's legs.

"Charles, you need to take some time to recover. Your body isn't seriously injured, but try to avoid using that move again," Hale said.

"Got it, Teacher Hale. By the way, where's Jace?" Charles noticed Jace was missing.

"He's in the back. That kid seems a bit shaken up," Hale replied casually.

Before turning 20, becoming a level three Beast Master was considered a sign of genius. However, being a genius only indicated good talent; true strength required more than just that. It also needed willpower and the right mindset. A resilient spirit, an unwavering resolve, and a deep desire for strength determined how far someone could go. Jace, clearly, was not up to par.

Among the four, Charles had performed the best—not only did he possess incredible talent, but he also had a calm mind and unwavering determination. Catherine followed closely behind, and then there was Sadie, who initially performed similarly to Jace but adapted and persevered, showing good potential.

Hale silently compared them in his mind. Gaining entry into Cyber Academy didn't mean there were no challenges ahead. Failing three consecutive assessments would result in expulsion. If Jace continued down this path, he wouldn't last long at Cyber Academy.

The SUV roared down the road, carrying them toward the distance. They were heading to Lsengard to regroup. Hale had received news that the ambush might not be over; more recruitment officers and students had been attacked, allegedly by a level seven Beast Master!
