Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Under the gaze of everyone, Charles took out a piece of equipment from the [jet ring] and carefully put it on.

Immediately, some ministers voiced their confusion:

"Is this some kind of equipment that can counteract gravity? Is Charles planning to quickly pass the third trial?"

"It seems so. After all, the third trial is only testing the physical strength of the Beast Master. Even though Charles is a level four Beast Master, his physical strength should be comparable to that of a level five Beast Master."

"Yes, I didn't expect Charles to have such equipment. It should make the third trial easier."

"Hmph, just a little trick. Genius isn't everything. Charles does have a lot of good equipment." The last remark was made by He Xingshan with some disdain.

The other ministers glanced at He Xingshan, but no one spoke out against him. This was tacitly accepted, as a good weapon or piece of equipment could significantly enhance a Beast Master's strength. In an actual battle, one couldn't say enemies couldn't use their weapons and equipment.

At this moment, Nathaniel suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, don't you think the equipment Charles just put on looks a bit familiar?"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, the other ministers paused, clearly not having realized it yet. Was there something special about the equipment Charles just wore?

Someone tried hard to remember and finally exclaimed in surprise, "I think I recognize that equipment. It used to be kept in the royal vault. I think it was called [Overlord Heavy Armor]!"

Immediately, someone asked, " [Overlord Heavy Armor]? Isn't that the equipment that lowers the difficulty of the third trial?"

Nathaniel directly responded, "No, no. It doesn't lower the difficulty; it actually increases it!"

"What? Increase the difficulty? How is that possible? Has Charles lost his mind?"

"Yeah, everyone else is trying to figure out how to reduce the difficulty and pass quickly. Why would Charles want to purposely increase the difficulty?"

"Stop joking." Many ministers expressed doubt and didn't believe Nathaniel's words.

Nathaniel took a deep breath, suppressing his surprise and admiration, and slowly said:

"[Overlord Heavy Armor], an orange quality piece of equipment, has an effect that adjusts the weight of the armor, allowing the Beast Master to undergo weighted training."

Once the ministers heard the effect of the [Overlord Heavy Armor], the doubts faded, and they stared at the image of Charles in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

What was Charles trying to do? Did he think the difficulty of the third trial was too low, and so he wanted to make it harder for himself?

These ministers, who considered themselves well versed, found themselves speechless, especially He Xingshan, who had earlier looked down on Charles. He clenched his fist and stared hard at him.

In the secret realm, Charles looked at the information prompt for the [Overlord Heavy Armor] and nodded in satisfaction.

Overlord Heavy Armor [orange quality]: Forged from special metallic materials, this armor not only provides excellent defensive capabilities but also allows for weight adjustment, aiding Beast Masters in weight bearing training to enhance their physical fitness and various abilities.

Effect: Weight adjustment, allowing the armor's weight to change instantly.

He had initially thought that this orange quality armor was of little use, but he didn't expect it to play a role in this trial.

He had already reached the halfway point of the third trial, and his body still didn't feel much pressure. Even if he reached the end, it seemed unlikely that it would challenge his body in any meaningful way.

To improve physical fitness, the best method was to constantly break through one's limits, pushing the body's potential to the extreme.

That's why Charles had decided to take out the Overlord Heavy Armor, and also because the energy concentrations of various attributes in the secret realm were high, making it a much more efficient place for extreme physical training compared to the outside world!

He simply adjusted the weight of the Overlord Heavy Armor until Charles could clearly sense that his body was being suppressed by an invisible force. Only then did he twist his neck and begin his physical training right there on the spot.

This action stunned everyone who was watching. The experienced ministers outside, all of them opened their mouths in shock, eyes wide, staring at Charles' every move as if they had never seen anything like it.

At this point, the other geniuses who had entered the secret realm were still struggling with the first trial, especially Zachary and Luma, who had been stuck in place for a long time without advancing.

Even Luna and Finn, with each step forward, felt immense pressure on their mentality and willpower.

Grace was in a similar situation, advancing slowly, still far from the end of the second trial.

And as for Charles?

Not only had he reached the third trial, but in the middle of it, he had increased the difficulty for himself and started physical training!

"This... he really doesn't view the other geniuses as competition at all!" After a long silence, someone finally spoke up, and everyone present agreed.

Charles' demeanor was just too relaxed, too at ease.

It was clear that he didn't consider Luna, Finn, Grace, or the others as competition and wasn't feeling the slightest bit of tension.

"Sigh, the geniuses of Genosha are just too weak," Nathaniel sighed quietly, looking at his daughter Luna with a helpless expression.

Being in the same era and country as a genius like Charles it was hard to tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Being in the same era and country as a genius like Charles, it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Time passed slowly,

And finally, someone besides Charles had passed the first trial it was Luna, with a time of 61 minutes and 30 seconds, just shy of the one hour limit.

Soon, a Bronze Division colored stone tablet appeared in front of her, showing the ranking for the second trial.

First place, Hale, time: 60 minutes and 30 seconds, Fifth level Beast Master.

Second place, Luna, time: 61 minutes and 30 seconds, Fifth level Beast Master.

...

Her second place time was still quite good, but Luna wasn't entirely satisfied. She carefully examined the rankings, but Charles' name was nowhere to be found.

"Could that huge noise earlier mean Charles is in some kind of danger?" Luna thought to herself.

She was slightly worried, because if nothing had happened to Charles, his rank would definitely be higher than hers.

Luna knew just how terrifying Charles' mindset and willpower were. Growing up, she had hardly ever met anyone like him.

While Luna was lost in thought, the rankings suddenly changed.

Third place, Grace, time: 62 minutes and 10 seconds, Fourth level Beast Master.

Luna was slightly stunned. She hadn't expected Grace to be this fast only a little slower than her.

Taking a deep breath, Luna stopped dwelling on it. After all, Charles' strength was far beyond hers, and there shouldn't be any accidents.

Besides, people outside the secret realm were also able to see what was happening, and if anything had gone wrong, they would have intervened by now.

Luna quickly composed herself, took her reward, and began heading toward the second trial's entrance.

On the other side, Grace looked at the rankings on the stone tablet, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, but she had no choice. After all, Luna was a Fifth level Beast Master.

She took another careful look and also noticed that Charles' name was absent.

"Either Charles hasn't arrived yet, or his ranking is so poor it hasn't been displayed. Either way, it works in my favor!" Grace clenched her fist tightly and waved it in the air.

At this moment, she felt a rush of excitement this meant she was now ahead of Charles!

"Genius? Hmph, just a commoner," Grace muttered dismissively, took her reward, and quickly headed toward the second trial.

Behind Luna and Grace, Finn successfully passed the second trial, followed by Zachary and Luma.

These geniuses who had entered the royal secret realm now faced the third trial.

Meanwhile, Charles had already been in the third trial for a long time.

He was now at the end of the third trial, just a few more steps away from successfully completing it.

At this moment, Charles wasn't thinking about completing the trial at all. He was focused on how to continue improving his physical training.

"It's hard to find a place like the royal secret realm, one that can change the gravity of the surrounding environment. If I leave now, it would be such a waste."

"But I've already adapted to the maximum weight of the Overlord Heavy Armor. Now, I feel like I'm just a hair away from reaching my body's limit, and I could keep increasing my physical strength."

Charles' brain was rapidly working, considering all sorts of possibilities.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of his mouth.

He recalled the information about Thick Soil and then took a careful look at the surroundings, particularly the quantity of Thick Soil in the area.

"The third trial has a vast area. If I could gather all the Thick Soil into a small range, wouldn't that create an environment with even greater gravity?" Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Without hesitation, Charles left his current spot and began walking back toward the direction he had originally come from.

His actions once again left the people watching from outside completely confused. No one knew what Charles was thinking now, but due to the previous events, no one dared to question him anymore.

They had realized that they couldn't understand Charles at all not because they couldn't comprehend him, but because they couldn't fathom what a genius of his level, almost like a monster, was planning to do.
