Chapter 444 Truly My Disciple
“Teacher, there’s something else you might not be aware of…” Charles lowered his voice and used as few words as possible to explain the mysterious figure in the white mask.
He initially thought Ezra wouldn’t be familiar with this, but to his surprise, after a brief explanation, Ezra slowly exhaled in relief.
“[The Cleansers] are right here? That’s good, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.” Ezra instinctively replied.
Clearly, he had a more detailed understanding of [The Cleansers] than Charles did.
Charles glanced at Ezra, logically, if Ezra had already become a ninth-level Beast Master, he should have enough confidence in [The Cleansers’] power to avoid any unexpected issues.
Yet just thinking about what that old man had said, especially the way he addressed him, filled Charles with a sense of unease.
“Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. I don’t know what methods [The Cleansers] have, but it shouldn’t cause too many casualties.” Charles thought silently to himself.
He looked around at the audience who were cheering and discussing, unaware that a terrible danger was quietly unfolding.
Time passed little by little.
The mysterious figure’s voice had yet to be heard, and Charles felt two more unsettling gazes upon him.
He knew this meant that two more creatures, comparable to ninth-level Beast Masters, had entered the stadium.
There wasn’t much time left.
Even so, the competition was still expected to proceed as planned.
“Ladies and gentlemen, up until now, the competitor who has maintained an undefeated record—you all know who it is without me saying.” someone shouted into the microphone.
In the next moment, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted from the stadium.
Countless spectators shouted with all their might, their faces flushed, as tens of thousands of voices joined together in unison, crying out:
“Charles!”
“Charles!”
The stadium, made of steel and concrete, trembled at that moment, as if it too were cheering for Charles’ name.
As for Luna, who also maintained an undefeated record, the cheers from the audience were faint, if one didn’t listen closely, they would barely be heard.
There was no doubt that the final championship battle of the three academies would unfold between the two of them.
“There’s still a little time left, that’s alright, we can wait a bit longer.”
“In the moments when these poor humans are most excited and agitated, bringing them despair is something that pleases me.” the old man, comparable to a ninth-level Beast Master, thought as he watched the cheering crowd, his eyes brimming with endless desire.
Two of his kind were rushing here with the most important items.
To avoid any unexpected incidents, it was better to wait until everyone had arrived before beginning the ceremony.
“Looking at the cheers of these people, there shouldn’t be any problem with Charles winning the championship.” the old man mused silently.
He had already decided when to make his move: it would be the moment Charles claimed victory, when countless honors and adoration would emerge—truly the best time for greatness to descend!
“No matter what special methods you possess, what you will face today is an existence that has caused the fall of countless gods!”
“Nothing can hinder my master’s steps, whether it be the slumbering surviving deities or the Beast Masters unwilling to accept their fates, they will all become dust beneath my master’s feet!”
“Charles, to become my master’s divine vessel is your honor.”
The old man whispered, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Fate had already arranged everything, no matter how Charles had caused his kind to fail, the final result would be the same.
[Spiritual sensitivity] had already revealed everything!
Only with powerful spiritual sensitivity and a body strong enough to support the great descent could the Beast Masters of the Ethereal Grove briefly witness the terror that erases all!

In front of the largest competition area in the stadium, Charles looked at Luna across from him and took a deep breath.
Right now, he wasn’t paying any attention to the match, his mind was consumed with thoughts of those monsters. When would they all appear, and what methods would [the Cleansers], code-named Ten, use against them?
No one knew the worries that filled Charles’ heart at that moment. He slowly glanced at Emperor Miles of Genosha and Nathaniel.
They seemed oblivious to any abnormalities, and instead, appeared somewhat excited.
“Perhaps it’s because they saw Teacher Ezra earlier and feel that things are gradually improving, which is why they are excited.” Charles thought to himself.
But now the crisis had reached its peak, at any moment, those monsters, comparable to ninth-level Beast Masters, could strike fiercely.
It was also possible that the masked mysterious figure might encounter an unexpected incident when making a move, preventing them from killing those monsters quickly, leading to the deaths of everyone present!
Overthinking inevitably leads to over-worrying!
Charles took a deep breath and pushed aside all the possible scenarios. He focused only on one critical point: the way that monster disguised as an old man had addressed him.
There was no malice, no hatred, it felt natural and genuine, tinged with a hint of respect and anticipation.
“I’m just a fourth-level Beast Master, what could possibly make it call me ‘Your Excellency’?”
“Perhaps that title wasn’t meant for me?”
Charles’ thoughts were somewhat chaotic, and just then, the referee slowly spoke up, announcing loudly:
“Competitors, get ready! The match officially begins!”
Charles had to set aside his thoughts and prepare for battle.
Against those monsters that could match ninth-level Beast Masters, he currently had no way to contribute.
However, Jace and Celestine should have left Calivia as he requested, so there shouldn’t be any surprises.
“Next, it’s just a matter of waiting for events to unfold.” Charles took a deep breath again, looking at Luna in the distance and nodding.
Then, four hexagram arrays appeared around Charles.
On Luna’s side, five hexagram arrays appeared. Without any hesitation, she summoned her five mystical beasts.
In an instant, all the information regarding Luna’s mystical beasts appeared in Charles’ eyes.
There were a total of five mystical beasts: three were platinum quality, and two were emerald quality.
Indeed, she was the most famous genius girl from Genosha, such quality in mystical beasts was enough to leave other geniuses far behind. However, compared to him, she still fell short.
After all, Little Gold’s quality was diamond!
—[Howling Wind Blue Rabbit]—
[Attribute]: Wind
[Level]: 44
[Quality]: Platinum
[Skills]: Howling Gale, High-Speed Movement, Continuous Strike, Blood Burst, Rapid Regeneration
[Weakness]: Poison
….
—[Hurricane Two-Headed Bird]—
[Attribute]: Wind, Poison
[Level]: 47
[Quality]: Emerald
[Skills]: Hurricane Strike, Toxic Gale, Regenerative Power, Sharp Feather Shot, Damage Transfer
[Weakness]: Wood, Lightning
The earlier mystical beasts were relatively normal, but when it came to the last emerald quality mystical beast, Charles became curious.
He didn’t expect that Luna’s final mystical beast would have both wind and poison attributes, along with a special skill.
[Damage Transfer]: The Hurricane Two-Headed Bird can transfer energy from attributes that target its weaknesses to its other head.
As long as this skill is used wisely, it means that attacking the Hurricane Two-Headed Bird with wood or lightning attributes becomes incredibly difficult.
While Charles was pondering how to respond, he was surprised to see Luna transform her five mystical beasts into five beams of light and absorb them into her body.
“Charles, use your [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery].” Luna said slowly.
In an instant, Charles understood her intention, she wanted him to bring forth his strongest state and have a proper battle with her.
Charles took a deep breath, even with terrifying monsters lurking around the competition arena, he was determined to give it his all!
His mental resilience was beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.
In the next moment, Mia, Little Gold, and Max transformed into three beams of light and entered his body.
The Charles who had previously fought Finn, growing in height, sprouting nine tails, sprouting wings from his back, and having sharp spikes covering his arms, reappeared before everyone!
Seeing this scene, Ezra, a Level 9 Beast Master, widened his eyes in disbelief.
“[The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery]? Charles shouldn’t have known this skill before. When did he learn it?”
“Since I was trapped? That wasn’t long ago, my apprentice really is impressive, with such high talent and comprehension!” Ezra exclaimed, slapping his thigh in excitement.
Beside him, Drake and Cecilia exchanged glances silently.
“I didn’t expect Charles to learn [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery], it seems his talent is even greater than we thought!” Drake murmured.
Cecilia nodded and glanced at Ezra, slowly responding,
“Sigh, this is troublesome. Ezra is already a Level 9 Beast Master. If he refuses to let Charles go, there’s little we can do.”
Cecilia and Drake spoke quietly, not drawing anyone else’s attention.
However, Ezra’s previous words were not spoken quietly, and an audience member immediately remarked:
“Charles learned [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery] in less than half an hour, you’re exaggerating!”
After saying this, the person seemed to realize something.
He recalled what the man in the black robe had just said, Charles was the black-robed man’s apprentice?
Could it be that this black-robed man is Charles’s Level 8 Beast Master teacher?
In the next moment, the shocked audience turned to look at the black-robed man, only to see an even more astonished expression on his face!
