Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

On the other side, after leaving the alley where Soren was staying, Charles took him and Orion to the entrance of a hotel, planning to check them in. In the lobby, Soren's expression finally shifted from shock, and he began observing Charles with a gaze as if he were a monster. "What's wrong?" Charles asked, turning around. "Nothing, nothing at all. Elowen, are you really not a monster? Or maybe you're also a genius Level Six Beast Master who used incredible disguise techniques to defeat that Level Six Beast Master earlier?" Soren's physical condition had improved significantly, and he had started talking more. Charles paused for a moment upon hearing Soren's words. He realized that Soren was just making an offhand guess, almost as a joke. However, to his surprise, Soren had actually managed to think about the disguise angle. But in reality, Charles was just a Level Four Beast Master trying to disguise himself. The Level Six Beast Master they had encountered earlier in the alley, named Kairos, had indeed been strong. If it hadn't been for the final interference from [The Eye of the Demon God], Charles wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily. At the last moment, Charles had also noticed the change in Kairos's aura, and it seemed like he had even stronger trump cards. But those had conditions for activation, which was why Kairos hadn't used them in the earlier battle. "We haven't even entered the area of [The Haunted Marsh] yet, and we've already encountered such a powerful opponent. Truly, the heroes and geniuses of the world are like carp crossing the river so many of them. I'll have to work even harder." Charles thought to himself, and his anticipation for the other geniuses from [The Haunted Marsh] grew even stronger. Talents always wanted to meet opponents because only then could they rapidly grow stronger. The battle just now had been an enormous learning experience for him, but he needed to find some time to analyze it properly and reflect. At that moment, Soren spoke again, "Mr. Charles, how about my sister and I leave City of Harmony today? Besides you, there are others who are interested in the [Lnfinity Lsles] matter, and I'm worried it might cause trouble for you later." Soren's expression was sincere. He spoke from the heart City of Harmony no longer felt safe for him, and he desperately needed a secure place to recover his strength. Charles thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Soren's suggestion. He took out his phone and sent a text message to Zachary, asking for a favor. No sooner had he sent the message than his phone rang. It was Zachary calling. "Charles, what's up? You can tell me anything! I'll even take a leave from class if you need it!" Zachary's voice was full of excitement; for him, this kind of opportunity was rare. "It's just a small favor. I have a friend who needs to stay in Genosha Calivia for a while. If it's convenient for your family, could you arrange two rooms for him and his sister?" Charles responded. "No problem! Leave it to me! Where are your friends? I'll drive to pick them up right now!" Zachary said, eager to help. Charles quickly gave him a description of Soren and Orion, along with an estimated time of arrival in Genosha. After hanging up the phone, Charles gave Soren an address. Soren looked down at it and instantly froze in place. Genosha Calivia Xu Family General's Mansion. The conversation between Charles and Zachary had not been quiet, and Soren, who was standing nearby, had overheard part of it. He was somewhat familiar with Genosha. Although it wasn't the most powerful nation in The Abyssal Depths, being able to casually arrange for someone to stay in the residence of a general from such a country implied an incredibly powerful network of connections. "Mr. Charles, are you sure about this?" Soren asked with some concern. Charles waved his hand, replying with a hint of helplessness, "Don't worry, it's correct. The general's son from Genosha is a good friend of mine. If it weren't so late, I'd have tried to arrange for you and Orion to stay in the palace itself it's even safer there." Soren quickly shook his head, a look of disbelief in his eyes as he looked at Charles and said, "No, no, the general's mansion is already safe enough. Even if people from the Lnfinity Lsles want to hunt me down, they wouldn't be foolish enough to enter the general's mansion." "Exactly, that would provoke a dispute between two nations. They wouldn't dare." Orion had been silent all this time, her gaze fixed entirely on Charles. Today had been the most surreal day of her life. A random encounter on the street with an outsider had led to them not only meeting someone with extraordinary strength but also being able to arrange for her and her brother to take refuge in the general's mansion of Genosha! Orion opened her mouth, wanting to express her gratitude, but she felt her words would be insufficient. Charles noticed her unusual behavior and took the initiative to speak, "Thank you for today. Don't worry, you were a good guide, and I learned a lot today." Hearing this, Orion shook her head, then looked at Charles seriously, finally gathering the courage to speak her thoughts. "Mr. Charles, I will repay you in the future. I promise I will!" she said, tightly clenching her fist as she spoke. Charles, expecting him to brush her off, was instead a little taken aback. Then, with a faint smile on his face, he nodded seriously and replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you to become a powerful Beast Master and then come back to figure out how to repay me." "Mm! I will!" Orion's eyes were filled with unprecedented determination. After giving Soren some travel money and sending both him and Orion to the City of Harmony bus station, Charles returned to the hotel and booked a room. Orion, that child, had a kind of resilience. After learning about her situation, Charles had a good impression of her; he really admired the girl. Few people were as strong and clear about their grievances and strengths as she was. "By the way, should I consider putting the search for Wind Dew and Gold Essence on hold for now? What if, while I'm looking for mystical beast promotion materials, someone else shows up at the site of the ancient gods beast's fall...?" Charles's mind was running at full speed, constantly analyzing the situation. The main issue was that he wasn't sure what exactly was going on over there. Soren had mentioned that only Beast Masters below Level Seven could enter the forest. Was that the place where the ancient gods' beasts had fallen? When would he be able to enter? How could he enter? These were all questions Charles had no answers to. Even with his strong analytical and reasoning abilities, it was impossible to create something out of nothing! Suddenly, Charles thought of his Beast Mastery teacher, Ezra. Ezra should know more about divine beasts, considering he actually had one! Charles quickly sent a message to Ezra. Before long, Ezra appeared directly in Charles's room. "I know what you're talking about. In a forest in the Lnfinity Lsles, there have been signs of what could be the site of the fall of an ancient gods beast," Ezra said right away. Charles nodded. Ezra didn't ask him how he came to believe that the forest was connected to the fall of the ancient gods beast. "Only Beast Masters below level seven can enter. If it really is the site of the ancient gods beast's fall, then this should be the screening condition," Ezra said, providing his analysis. "Screening condition?" Charles asked, curious. "Yes, whether the divine beast hasn't completely perished and has revived, or if it's the divine beast's bloodline, or if another mystical beast has absorbed the divine beast's energy, there will be some sort of screening process to choose which Beast Masters will form contracts with them," Ezra explained. "You mentioned seeing a huge illusion of an unknown light attribute mystical beast in the forest. That should be the first Obvious trace, right?" Ezra added. He briefly explained what Obvious traces were. These were signals that told other Beast Masters that something extremely valuable was about to appear, attracting many Beast Masters to the area. Divine beast energy can be refined into refined energy. If there's only divine beast energy and it hasn't been absorbed or evolved by other mystical beasts, and there's no divine beast bloodline or lingering soul, Obvious traces wouldn't appear. "I remember there aren't many records of light attribute divine beasts, or light attribute divine beast energy, in the Ranking. The one from Celestial City in the Lnfinity Lsles either wasn't recorded in the Ranking, or it's ranked very low," Ezra continued. "Either way, it will attract countless talented light attribute Beast Masters competing for it. Charles, your strength is only at the fourth level right now; it's still a bit low. You should focus on searching for mystical beast promotion materials for now to improve your strength." "Don't worry, there's plenty of time. At least there's still a month before the site of the ancient gods beast's fall fully opens, allowing Beast Masters who meet the conditions to enter," Ezra said, speaking quickly. Charles agreed with his opinion. After all, Ezra knew more about divine beasts than most Beast Masters. "A month's time. After completing Mia and Little Gold's promotions, I'll try to break through from level four to level five," Charles thought to himself. If he could become a level five Beast Master, contracting a light attribute mystical beast would be perfect. After all, when he met Lucas, he was able to absorb light attribute energy even without contracting a light attribute mystical beast. If he were to contract a light attribute mystical beast, something interesting might happen perhaps his strength would increase rapidly, or he'd finally figure out how he was absorbing light attribute energy. Charles had a strong feeling that if he successfully contracted the suspected divine beast from the Lnfinity Lsles, he might gain a deeper understanding of the unknown aspects inside his body.
