Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The joyful expression on Lan's face suddenly stiffened.

What? Weaklings aren't worthy of being remembered by name?

That simple sentence made Lan's face and ears turn red instantly. He was completely thrown off balance. In Riston, he was a genius, someone everyone had high hopes for!

How could he be regarded as trash in Charles' eyes?

"Charles! Just you wait! Even if you beg me on your knees later, I won't let you off!" Lan couldn't hold back any longer and shouted furiously.

Charles had already stepped into the elevator, his gaze calm, looking at Lan as if he were a clown.

It wasn't until Catherine, Hale, and Jace entered the elevator that the doors began to close.

That's when Lan realized, "I haven't gotten in yet!"

Underground Level Four,

Inside the hotel's exclusive practice arena, Lan and Charles stood facing each other.

Three six-pointed star formations flashed, and three lightning attribute mystical beasts were summoned by Lan.

——[Lightning Demon Ape]——

[Attribute]: Lightning

[Level]: 26

[Quality]: Gold

[Skills]: Arc Swing, Ball Lightning, Lightning Chain

[Weakness]: Wind Attribute

...

——[One-Horned Electric Python]——

[Attribute]: Lightning

[Level]: 25

[Quality]: Gold

[Skills]: Lightning Strike, Death Coil, Thunder Bite

[Weakness]: Wind Attribute / Lower Abdomen

...

——[Lightning Wild Dog]——

[Attribute]: Lightning

[Level]: 24

[Quality]: Gold

[Skills]: Move Quickly, Thunder Bite, Lightning Claw

[Weakness]: Wind Attribute / Lower Abdomen

...

All three lightning attribute mystical beasts were of Gold quality. With them standing in front of him, Lan felt an immense confidence.

In Riston, he was the strongest among those under twenty!

"Lan is amazing!"

"Do you think Charles' mystical beasts are all Silver quality? It can't be anything else, right?"

"Maybe! He hasn't summoned any mystical beasts yet because he's afraid of embarrassing himself."

Outside the practice arena, the murmurs of others began to rise.

Jace listened on the side, unable to tolerate the comments about Charles. To him, Charles was a life mentor!

Every casual remark he made was enlightening, offering him immense benefit!

So Jace spoke up, "Three Gold quality mystical beasts are nothing! All of Charles' mystical beasts are Platinum quality!"

"What? Platinum? You must be joking! Have you ever seen a Platinum quality mystical beast?" someone scoffed in rebuttal.

"Short-sighted!" Jace replied. He didn't even mention that Catherine had four mystical beasts, all at the Platinum level!

In the past, Jace thought Silver quality mystical beasts were already impressive. Ever since meeting Charles and Catherine, his perspective had broadened significantly; Silver quality mystical beasts were no longer something to boast about.

In the future, if he could advance to a Level Four Beast Master, he must find a Platinum quality mystical beast. Even if he couldn't find one, it couldn't be lower than Gold!

"Charles, are you still not summoning your mystical beasts? Are you planning to surrender?" Lan, noticing that Charles had yet to make a move, mistakenly thought that Charles knew he couldn't win and was considering giving up. Just as he was about to throw out another round of taunts, Charles replied, "I don't need to summon mystical beasts to beat you."

"You're so arrogant, Charles!" Lan's fury was already boiling over. He directly commanded the three mystical beasts, "Attack together! Tear him apart!"

The Lightning Wild Dog, One-Horned Electric Python, and Lightning Demon Ape charged at Charles as soon as they received their master's orders. The practice arena was instantly filled with crackling electricity, with arcs of white lightning jumping around.

Typically, a Level Three Beast Master facing such a situation would either summon their mystical beasts to perform Beast Mastery or turn and run without a second thought. But Charles was different. Calmly, he pulled out a Black Gold Long Knife from his Jet Ring—the sharp, elongated blade emanated a chilling aura.

Outside the arena, someone exclaimed, "How did Charles pull out a knife?"

His companion explained, "Don't be surprised; that's a Storage Ring. You just don't know any better!"

"What's a Storage Ring?" the person asked, puzzled.

"Not worth explaining. Just look it up online later," the companion replied, his eyes glued to the Jet Ring, enviously drooling as he said, "That ring must be worth at least a hundred gold coins. Even the city lord can't afford one!"

"It's that expensive? Charles must be rich! I bet he has Gold quality mystical beasts!"

"Yeah, with a Storage Ring, he could very well have three Gold quality mystical beasts. Looks like he has some strength after all."

"Sure, but Lan is not to be underestimated. He has a wealth of combat experience, and Charles definitely isn't a match for Lan!"

Nora, the admissions teacher from Riston, didn't pay much attention to the Jet Ring on Charles's hand. Instead, she stared thoughtfully at the Black Gold Long Knife, feeling that the long knife looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen someone use it before.

Was it a weapon that someone had used before?

Nora shook her head, quickly dismissing that thought. A multi-attribute Beast Master like him was nearly impossible to find a second one in all of Genosha!

Even if it wasn't that, she was certain that the weapon Charles held was at least of top-tier blue quality, and it was even possible that it could be purple quality.

"Even if it is a purple weapon, without summoning his mystical beasts, a Level Three Beast Master's physical attributes alone could never defeat Lan," Nora murmured to herself. Initially, she thought Charles had the potential to be a powerful Beast Master, but now she wanted to retract her previous opinion. "An arrogant and conceited Beast Master won't get far."

Hale, who was standing nearby, naturally heard her words. He turned to Nora and said, "Conceited? Teacher Nora, not only is your strength lacking, but your judgment is off too."

"What do you mean by that, Hale?" Nora snapped, stomping her high-heeled foot on the ground as she questioned him loudly.

"Nothing, just keep watching," Hale replied, not wanting to elaborate too much. Sometimes, the facts themselves were the best explanation.

Nora was about to continue her argument but was interrupted by the gasps from the new students of Riston in front of her. She quickly turned her gaze back to the practice arena.

Charles, facing the assault of three lightning attribute mystical beasts, remained calm. It was as if he had divine assistance; with every dodge, he perfectly evaded the attacks from the mystical beasts!

In that moment, he seemed to be on stage, every movement and shift of his body resembling a dance. Not only did he evade Lan's mystical beasts' attacks, but he was also steadily closing the distance.

"That angle for the Arc Swing is all wrong; that Ball Lightning is forming too slowly!"

"The timing of that Lightning Claw was decent, but it didn't coordinate with the One-Horned Electric Python. Otherwise, I would have been trapped already!"

"Too poor! Your combat experience is really lacking!"

...

Charles's comments echoed throughout the underground space, leaving everyone else dumbfounded.

One of the new students from Riston hesitantly spoke up, "Could it be that Charles is just talking nonsense?"

"No, he isn't!" Nora's gaze was sharp. Although she had been looked down on by Hale for her strength and judgment, as a Level Six Beast Master with considerable battle experience, she could immediately see that everything Charles said was correct.

Lan's combat experience was decent among young people, but when placed before Charles, it was like that of an elementary school student, full of flaws in every command.

As a result, even with three mystical beasts attacking him, Charles quickly closed in on Lan.

If anyone was truly on the verge of breaking down, it was undoubtedly Lan, who was facing Charles head-on.

Initially, Lan thought that since Charles wasn't summoning his mystical beasts and he had three mystical beasts on his side, defeating Charles would be a piece of cake. However, to his surprise, Charles moved like he was strolling down a country path, effortlessly evading every attack from the mystical beasts!

"Damn it! I can't believe this! Beast Mastery!" Lan gritted his teeth and activated Beast Mastery. After all, mystical beasts were not human; without extensive combat training and practical experience, they typically had flaws in battle.

A competent Beast Master could identify these flaws and improve them by issuing various combat commands, coordinating multiple mystical beasts to secure victory. In this regard, Lan was performing terribly. Knowing that the mystical beasts' attacks couldn't harm Charles, he decided to take matters into his own hands!

"Only now are you going to fight personally? Ha! A true Beast Master fights alongside their mystical beasts, not just hiding behind and issuing useless commands," Charles said disdainfully, standing his ground.

In fact, for quite some time now, Charles had not been facing a Level Three Beast Master; he had been battling opponents of higher ranks, gaining extensive combat experience. Moreover, Catherine occasionally sparred with him, which had been a significant help.

Now, Charles had developed a unique intuition in battle, often reacting without thought, relying on instinct to make appropriate responses.

"I don't agree with a single word you said! Just wait until I knock you down; let's see what you have to say then!" After activating Beast Mastery, Lan's body crackled with electric energy. He gathered two Ball Lightning spheres in his palms and charged toward Charles.

"This is boring; I might as well go take a break," Charles sighed. Fighting weak opponents was just dull.

Ice attribute energy surged into the Black Gold Long Knife, and a dark light flashed sharply along the blade. A Black Gold Knife Glow sliced toward Lan, aimed directly at him!

At the same time, an overwhelming sense of danger enveloped Lan. He had a premonition that if he continued forward and met that blade of light, he would surely die!

The fear of life and death froze Lan in place, his body trembling uncontrollably!

"Lan!" Nora, who had been closely watching the battle, saw the Black Gold Knife Glow in an instant and summoned her mystical beast.

"Boom!"

Dust and debris erupted into the air, but it soon settled down.
