Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The diamond-quality mystical beast egg still needed some time to hatch, and it should be fully hatched by tomorrow morning.

At that point, they would finally know what this diamond-quality mystical beast was like.

Charles had just finished his afternoon classes and, as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Ethan waiting outside for a while.

"Teacher Ethan?" Charles spoke up.

"Colton asked me to take charge of your special training. Are you free tonight?" Ethan inquired. He now had a general understanding of Charles's strength.

Ethan had watched the battle video between Charles and Serpent several times, and he could vaguely sense that Charles's abilities were not that simple!

"Sure, I don't have anything planned for tonight." Charles replied.

The Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association was holding its second auction tonight, but Charles didn't intend to participate since there was nothing he wanted on offer.

Ethan's combat abilities were something Charles was aware of, and he knew that carrying the diamond-quality mystical beast egg would affect his entry into the Trial Tower.

His original plan was to wait until the mystical beast hatched before going to the Trial Tower to accelerate his understanding of self-created combat techniques.

"Go ahead and grab a bite to eat. After you're done, meet me at the training room door." Ethan said before turning to leave.

After a quick dinner, Charles used Darkness Cloak to arrive at the training room entrance.

Ethan stood at the door, watching as Charles emerged from the shadows.

He was a bit surprised and remarked, "Nice job! With that skill, an average Level 6 Beast Master wouldn't even notice you!"

Charles scratched his head, and before he could respond, Ethan led him into the training room.

"I've watched the battle video between you and Serpent. That shouldn't reflect your true abilities." Ethan said confidently.

Charles nodded, the Overlord Heavy Armor he was wearing was quite heavy and limited his speed. Otherwise, he could have dealt with Serpent much faster.

"Later, I want to see you give it your all. We'll have a match, and then I can identify areas for you to improve." Ethan said.

In his view, only through sufficient combat could he accelerate Charles's growth, especially in life-and-death situations.

He was familiar with the Genosha underground octagonal cage, anyone who could become a top-tier player was no simple character.

They were all seasoned fighters who could kill without blinking.

While the quality of mystical beasts might not compare to the academy's geniuses, when it came to the practical combat abilities of Beast Masters, Ethan found them to be quite formidable!

Under the conditions of not using equipment, skills, or summoning mystical beasts.

Very few students in the entire Cyber Academy could compete with the top-tier champions.

The reason Ethan hadn't taken on the Reaper's Scythe challenge was that he had become a Level 5 Beast Master long ago, already surpassing the challenge's requirements.

Moreover, in his opinion, the overall strength of a Beast Master should include equipment, mystical beasts, and skills.

Simply competing in physical fitness, combat experience, and combat techniques was a form of self-limitation.

However, it must be said that passing the Reaper's Scythe challenge would greatly benefit Charles's growth!

"Alright, I won't be going easy on you. So be careful." Ethan said as he prepared himself. Read the latest fiction on M-VL-em|p,yr

Charles showed no hesitation and immediately took off his Overlord Heavy Armor.

The heavy armor hit the ground with a thud.

Ethan's eyelid twitched slightly as he stared incredulously at the Overlord Heavy Armor on the floor and asked:

"You were wearing that armor when you dueled that Serpent?"

Charles replied, "Teacher Ethan, yes, but the environment back then enhanced my speed. In the training room, I might not be as fast."

Upon hearing this, Ethan could guess a bit about Charles's abilities.

Charles had a skill that could enhance his speed in special environments, and the enhancement was quite significant.

However, it was a pity that skills couldn't be used in the Reaper's Scythe challenge, otherwise, Ethan would feel much more at ease, and Charles's chances of success would increase.

"We'll find out after the fight. I want to see just how strong you really are!" Ethan said as he noticed Charles had finished preparing.

Without hesitation, he pushed off the ground, and his body surged forward like a falcon, radiating powerful momentum.

Charles remained calm, losing composure was the worst mistake one could make in battle.

He quickly scanned Ethan's form and movements, which were now etched in his mind.

Charles's brain worked rapidly as he dodged and analyzed, constantly predicting Ethan's next move.

To his surprise, it seemed like Ethan had seen through his thoughts.

Ethan's already impressive speed suddenly increased, clearly aimed at disrupting Charles's actions.

His timing was impeccable, he intended to test Charles's reaction ability.

At this point, Ethan's speed was faster than that of an average Level 5 Beast Master, and he was very curious about how Charles would respond!

However, in the next instant,

Charles surprisingly abandoned his attempt to dodge, flexing his muscles and shifting his body from a defensive stance to an offensive one.

Ethan's eyes lit up, this was a choice he hadn't anticipated!

It's important to note that human thought doesn't transition that quickly.

Especially after initially deciding to dodge, most people wouldn't have the ability or the courage to switch to an offensive stance!

"Let's see how you handle this attack!" Ethan's gaze was resolute as he targeted the vital points on Charles's body.

Just as mentioned earlier, only in real combat, faced with life-and-death crises, can one discover their practical flaws.

At the same time, an unprecedented sense of danger surged within Charles.

Even when facing the Level 8 Beast Master from Constellation, Charles had never felt like this, clearly, Teacher Ethan was very serious!

But he still had a way!

Just as the two were about to collide, Charles unleashed his full speed, pivoting his feet.

Ethan's attack grazed his chest as it passed.

Seizing the moment, Charles took advantage of his position, clenched his fist tightly, and aimed a punch at Ethan's temple.

"Boom!" A dull thud echoed through the room.

If it had been an ordinary Level 5 Beast Master, they would have fallen to the ground, completely incapacitated by Charles's full-force strike.

To his surprise, Ethan merely swayed slightly, turning his head to look at Charles.

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he said, "Nice job, kid! You were intentionally feigning weakness from the start. When you dodged, you weren't using your full power at all!"

Charles replied, "You said to give it my all, but you didn't specify when to do that."

"You're absolutely right. Winning a battle isn't just about raw strength, it's about wisdom and maintaining a calm mindset!" Ethan said, his tone somewhat complex.

At Charles's age, he hadn't been this exceptional.

"Let's go again! You need more combat experience. I now see that continuous fighting is the best training method for you!" Without waiting for Charles to prepare again, Ethan launched another attack.

"Ambushes are also a form of combat intelligence." Ethan said with a smirk.

For the entire night, Charles and Ethan engaged in practical combat within the training room.

Especially Ethan, he simulated various combat scenarios, providing Charles with invaluable experience.

As they progressed, Charles even managed to attempt using the combat techniques he had grasped in the Trial Tower while fighting Ethan.

However, the results were somewhat lacking, not matching the speed of progress made in the Trial Tower.

It seemed he would have to wait until tomorrow when the diamond-quality mystical beast hatched before he could truly focus on improving his combat techniques in the Trial Tower.

"Alright, let's wrap up today's training. You've sustained some injuries, so make sure to rest well when you head back tonight." Ethan said.

Charles rubbed his aching shoulder.

Ethan had deliberately caused this pain to test Charles's pain tolerance.

It's important to know that getting injured in real combat is completely normal.

Some Beast Masters are affected by pain, which diminishes their overall strength.

Others, however, can endure the pain and continue fighting.

As for Charles,

in Ethan's perception, he seemed as if he had not been injured at all!

Whether it was offense or defense, everything was executed flawlessly!

"Once you become a bit stronger, the title of 'Tiger of Cyber Academy' should rightfully belong to you." Ethan said with a smile.

He was very optimistic about Charles's future. If only Charles was given a little more time, successfully passing the Reaper's Scythe challenge would be a sure thing!

"Uh, I'll head back to rest now, Teacher." Charles replied, without elaborating further.

Ethan seemed to remember something and quickly added, "By the way, you can skip classes for the next few days. The headmaster has approved it. Spend more time in the Trial Tower and try to complete your self-created combat techniques as soon as possible."

Charles's eyes lit up, not having to attend classes and being able to focus on improving his strength was a good thing for him.

"It's not as simple as you think. You still need to set aside time every day. A dedicated teacher will create a tailored curriculum for you." Ethan said with a smile. Attending classes at the academy was non-negotiable!

However, Charles's situation was somewhat special, he learned quickly, so a specialized teacher would be assigned to him.

Before him, only a few students had been fortunate enough to receive such treatment.

In the world of Beast Masters, strength is revered, and talented individuals with great potential naturally receive special treatment.

"Alright, Teacher, I'll take my leave now." Charles said, turning to leave and heading back to his dormitory.

After a quick wash-up, he picked up the diamond-quality mystical beast egg and examined it closely.

There were still eight hours left until it successfully hatched.

At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, he would finally get to see this diamond-quality mystical beast!
