Chapter 431 A Noticeable Competition
“What does it matter if you become a Level Nine Beast Master? This world is going to get increasingly dangerous. The appearance of those six Bodies was just the beginning, even more terrifying things will descend upon the Ethereal Grove.” the mysterious figure in the white mask said in a calm tone.
Yet, Charles could sense a hint of undeniable confusion and despair hidden beneath that calm demeanor.
What could possibly cause such a powerful being to reveal feelings of confusion and despair?
Charles instinctively furrowed his brow.
The mysterious figure realized he had said too much. Once he collected himself, he took a deep breath and slowly said:
“It’s a bit too early for you to worry about these matters. Focus on strengthening your abilities. Only by becoming a more powerful Beast Master can you survive the crises that lie ahead.”
“I want you to think carefully about what I said regarding becoming my apprentice. If the opportunity arises, I will discuss it with your Beast Master teacher. I believe he will make a wise choice.” the mysterious figure said.
After saying this, the mysterious figure vanished from the spot.
Charles looked around at the empty surroundings, his mind preoccupied with the information the mysterious figure had inadvertently revealed.
Back in Flower Falls Gorge, that monster had also mentioned similar things and mocked Nathaniel for being unaware of the truth of the world.
Today, this powerful mysterious figure was no different.
“It seems that there is indeed a great possibility of unimaginable dangers lurking behind this world.” Charles thought as he took a deep breath.
He was only a Level Four Beast Master at the moment and had no way of obtaining more information. Only by continuously improving his strength would he gradually uncover the truths of this world.
“There’s still some time left in the evening. I should head to the training room and continue to train to enhance my abilities.” Charles thought to himself.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he gathered his thoughts and headed straight toward the training room at Cyber Academy.
Max, Mousie, Mia, and Little Gold’s levels have been steadily increasing during this time.
Max and Mousie’s levels have already reached Level 28, and they are just a few days away from meeting the promotion requirements.
Mia’s level is slightly lower, but she has also reached Level 27.
The lowest level among them is Little Gold, who just completed his promotion in the Golden Mountain Range not long ago and is currently at Level 26.
It is estimated that once the exchange competition among the three academies concludes, these mystical beasts will all face their promotions. At that time, he would need to spend time and effort collecting their promotion materials.
“I hope the materials required for the promotion won’t be too difficult to obtain, otherwise, it could delay the speed of my strength enhancement.”
Charles mused quietly. He understood that the higher the quality of a mystical beast, the rarer the materials needed for their promotion would be.
However, it was exciting to think that Max, Mousie, Mia, and Little Gold might trigger quality upgrades during their promotions.
After all, Max and Mousie are only of platinum quality right now, so if they could upgrade to emerald quality, that would be fantastic!
With this thought, a sense of anticipation began to stir in Charles’s heart.
Everything would have to wait until the exchange competition among the three academies was over, and until that mysterious figure with the codename Ten dealt with the six monsters powerful enough to rival Level Nine Beast Masters. Only then could he safely gather the promotion materials.
As Charles contemplated, he quickly made his way to the training room at Cyber Academy.
Today, there weren’t many people present, most of the students at the academy had chosen to rest and conserve their energy for the upcoming competition.
Charles wasn’t worried about the competition. To be honest, among all the geniuses in Genosha, only a few could make him take them seriously.
Grace, Finn, and Luna.
He was indeed a bit curious about Grace’s strength now, but it was merely a slight curiosity.
Through his battles with Wayne, Charles had a clear understanding of his own strength. Without using the Black Gold Long Knife or the orange-quality miracle drug to boost his abilities, defeating a Level Five Beast Master was not a problem at all.

It would just take a little more time, if he used the Black Gold Long Knife and the orange-quality miracle drug, he could easily take down his enemies in one hit if they were careless.
“Camilla mentioned before that there’s a genius in Kingston who can defeat the teachers at Kingston Cyber Academy. If I get the chance, I really want to fight a Level Six Beast Master.” Charles thought to himself.
Many things can only be understood clearly after facing them and going through the experience.
Time passed quickly.
Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Charles headed straight to the competition venue.
The place was already filled with spectators, and the nervous competitors were preparing for the event.
“Charles, great news! Jace is awake!” Zachary shouted as soon as he saw Charles.
Charles’s eyes lit up immediately, without any hesitation, he got up from his seat and made his way to the medical room.
As soon as he entered, he saw Jace struggling on the hospital bed, trying to sit up.
Jace noticed Charles and immediately said, “Charles, why are you here? The competition is about to start, you should go back and rest up.”
Charles shook his head and replied, “No need, the competition isn’t important. How are you feeling now?”
Jace paused for a moment, then a smile spread across his face as he looked at Charles with gratitude and said:
“I’m fine now. The doctor said a little more than a week of good rest would do the trick. Thanks to the orange-quality miracle drug you gave me, or else I would still be unconscious.”
Thinking about this made Jace feel a surge of gratitude toward Charles, mixed with a bit of guilt.
Because of his weaker strength, he often ended up getting hurt. Although Charles never said anything about it, Jace felt bad inside.
“If only my strength were a bit stronger, I wouldn’t have wasted Charles’s orange-quality miracle drug.” Jace thought to himself as he instinctively clenched his fists.
He was currently filled with gratitude toward Charles and an eagerness to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
After hearing Jace’s words, Charles offered a few simple words of comfort.
Once he confirmed that Jace was in good condition, he turned and left, returning to the waiting area of Cyber Academy.
“You’re really lucky, that Charles didn’t hesitate at all when he saved you, it was like he was holding a bottle of mineral water instead of an orange-quality miracle drug.” Zachary couldn’t help but exclaim after Charles left.
There was a hint of envy in his words.
Who wouldn’t want a friend like Charles?
Although he had a decent relationship with Charles, Zachary wasn’t sure if Charles would treat him the same way he treated Jace.
“Charles is just that kind of person, he seems calm but really cares about those who are good to him. Zachary, if you were in the same situation as I was, Charles would treat you the same way.” Jace said with a smile.
His face was filled with a sense of relief, being able to follow Charles was the luckiest thing in his life.
Upon hearing Jace’s words, Zachary instinctively nodded slightly. He was about to say something when he heard a loud commotion outside the medical room.
“It seems like the match list has come out. I’ll go take a look. If I lose again in the upcoming match, I won’t have a chance to follow Charles into the secret realm to improve my strength.” Zachary said, feeling a bit anxious.
In the current losers’ bracket, there were still a few strong but unlucky Level Four Beast Masters, including Luma, who had fought against Charles before.
If Zachary faced him, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Jace nodded and watched Zachary rush off, then he put on a serious expression. He silently clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, saying firmly:
“This is the last time. Charles, I will definitely help you in the future, no doubt about it!”
At that moment, neither Zachary nor Charles was aware of Jace’s determination. The battle list for the first match of the morning had already been released.
Zachary was fortunate, he didn’t draw any of the strong Beast Masters. His opponent was just a Level Three Beast Master, so winning the match was definitely within reach.
As for Charles, he simply glanced at the list without any reaction. Now, aside from Finn, Grace, and Luna, there was no one else who could pique his interest.
The match quickly began and ended just as fast.
The morning competition was clearly not as thrilling for the audience as yesterday’s event. After all, yesterday, Charles, a Level Four Beast Master, had fought against Wayne, a Level Five Beast Master, and emerged victorious.
The battle between the two had been exceptionally exciting, which left the spectators feeling less enthusiastic about this morning’s matches.
The morning passed by swiftly.
When the competition list was released in the afternoon, it instantly captured the attention of all the spectators.
“I can’t believe it’s them facing off so early!”
“Yeah, the upcoming match is definitely going to be exciting!”
“Charles’s opponent isn’t that strong, it’s the battle between Celestine and Grace that has everyone interested!”
“Exactly! Celestine seems to have a close relationship with Charles, and Grace, who made an agreement with Charles, is also quite powerful.”
“I don’t think Celestine stands a chance against Grace, Grace’s strength is no joke.”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Charles instinctively looked up towards the academy where Celestine was. Coincidentally, Celestine was also looking in his direction.
