Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"Teacher, the red glow is caused by the seepage of fire elemental energy. But what about the blue glow?" Charles asked in confusion.

Ruby spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, responding helplessly, "It's not surprising that I don't know something that even your teacher doesn't know. After all, you're a genius—no, you're a monster!"

Charles instinctively reached up to scratch his head upon hearing her words.

Others assumed he was knowledgeable and well-informed, capable of understanding information that others were unaware of, but the truth was that it all stemmed from the hidden information prompts before him.

"No matter what the reason is, the Golden Mountain Range will soon be disturbed and lively." Ruby reflected.

"Lively?" Charles turned to look at her with curiosity.

Ruby nodded and replied, "Such an unusual phenomenon will be known to everyone in Genosha. According to some rumors, only powerful treasures can cause such anomalies."

"Many Beast Masters will come from various places to take a look and see if any formidable treasures have appeared in the Golden Mountain Range."

Upon hearing Ruby's words, Charles instantly understood.

This unusual phenomenon, combined with the legends about treasures, would surely attract a lot of people. Whether or not it was true, the Beast Masters would flood into the Golden Mountain Range like a tide.

At that time, it might lead to a lot of chaos!

...

In the adventurer's town next to the Golden Mountain Range, every street was packed with people.

No one was staying at home or in hotels anymore, everyone had rushed outside, looking up at the unusual phenomenon in the sky and chattering away:

"What's going on? Could it be that a treasure has appeared? If that's the case, I need to head into the mountains and search properly."

"I've lived my whole life, and this is the first time I've seen such a strange sight."

"This has never happened before, it really seems like a sign of powerful treasures appearing!"

"Forget it, I'm packing my things right now to go treasure hunting!"

Some people saw this as a sign of disaster, while others viewed it as a golden opportunity to get rich overnight, eager to enter the Golden Mountain Range in search of legendary treasures.

Among the crowd,

Alyssa and her companions were also there. Asher lowered his voice and asked, "Should we go take a look too?"

"No way! Our mission is to participate in the trial and complete the crown prince's arrangements. We can't be delayed!" Alyssa replied decisively.

Since being thoroughly searched by Ruby, the three of them had returned to the town to rest.

Although they had learned more information about Drake's trial, they had lost everything they had. If it weren't for hunting some ferocious beasts on the way back, they wouldn't even have enough money for a hotel!

"Let's report this situation. The crown prince should send someone over. Also, we need to inform the crown prince that there's a powerful genius in Genosha who will also participate in the trial. We have no confidence at all." Alyssa sighed and said slowly.

Dante knew that this person was Charles.

Recalling Charles's performance in the canyon, he unusually refrained from arguing or speaking and simply clenched his fists tightly.

As a Level Four Beast Master, he, who was favored by the crown prince of the Stellar Empire, had been so easily defeated by Charles.

Moreover, the other party hadn't even summoned a mystical beast or used any equipment throughout the fight.

Charles's mystical beasts are far more powerful than his own. Two platinum-quality mystical beasts, one emerald-quality mystical beast, and, even more astonishing, one diamond-quality mystical beast.

If he were to summon those mystical beasts, defeating him would be even easier!

"I will report this news, but I'm worried the crown prince might think we're shirking responsibility and won't believe us about Charles." Asher said with some concern.

Alyssa didn't know what to do either. They had experienced similar situations before. When Mountain Rabbit first mentioned Charles, no one believed it.

Only after witnessing it firsthand did they realize that Charles was truly a monstrous genius!

"I'll report it myself and try to explain everything that happened." Alyssa replied slowly.

She hoped that the crown prince of the Stellar Empire would send some even more powerful geniuses to compete with Charles.

However, Alyssa had no confidence at all. Among all the Level Four Beast Masters in the Stellar Empire, aside from a few geniuses who were not under the crown prince's control, there was no one else who could stand against Charles!

"Sigh... If only Charles is from the Stellar Empire, from the Zhong family, it would be great." Alyssa sighed, thinking slowly to herself. "A genius like him could easily revive a family without any issues."

Charles was unaware of what was happening there.

After paying the agreed amount of gold coins to Mountain Rabbit, he headed straight to the hotel in the town with Ruby.

Just as they returned and hadn't even had a chance to rest, Charles's phone vibrated. Upon answering the call.

He heard the voice of Cyber Academy's dean, Jamie: "Charles, there's urgent news. An unusual phenomenon has appeared in the Golden Mountain Range. Are you alright?"

Charles replied, "I know. I just came out of the Golden Mountain Range with Teacher Ruby. We're fine."

"That's good. Here's the thing, Charles, this anomaly is not simple. Hold on, some geniuses from Genosha will be heading to the Golden Mountain Range, and the students from Cyber Academy will be going too." Jamie said slowly.

Charles curiously asked, "They're all coming? Is there really some treasure in the Golden Mountain Range?"

Jamie explained, "It's unclear whether there is treasure, but there is definitely an opportunity to enhance one's strength. According to reliable information, the recent anomaly is caused by volcanic activity beneath the Golden Mountain Range."

"This volcano is no ordinary volcano, it's known as the Eye of Ice and Fire!"

Then, Jamie elaborated on the information regarding the Eye of Ice and Fire.

The so-called Eye of Ice and Fire is a highly unique volcano. Typical volcanoes have scorching magma and flames, but the Eye of Ice and Fire has a special reason for its existence, where flame and ice energy coexist, achieving an inexplicable state of balance.

Ice attribute energy and fire attribute energy merge and counteract each other, continuously cycling back and forth.

In such a special volcano, just before it erupts but hasn't yet, the ice and fire energies are at their strongest. By getting closer to the Eye of Ice and Fire, a Beast Master's body can undergo refinement!

This refinement not only enhances physical strength and recovery ability but also presents a rare opportunity for ice and fire mystical beasts. The powerful ice and fire energies can rapidly boost their strength and levels!

Charles and Jamie continued discussing related matters, primarily that once the students from Cyber Academy arrived, Charles would temporarily take command.

This was Jamie's trust in Charles. The reason why the Level Seven Beast Masters were not the ones to lead is that several powerful Beast Masters from Genosha had already convened an emergency meeting. They agreed that this opportunity for growth should be given to the younger generation of Genosha!

Only Beast Masters under the age of twenty would be allowed to venture deep near the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano in the Golden Mountain Range.

Humans are always greedy, if left unchecked, some Level Six and Level Seven Beast Masters would undoubtedly absorb ice and fire energy without limitations.

Moreover, it's certain that many would be attracted this time, which might prematurely affect the balance of the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano and lead to an early eruption.

If that happened, it would be a massive waste of such a great opportunity.

According to the powerful Beast Masters of Genosha, the energy from this eruption would stabilize in about three days, allowing them to enter the Golden Mountain Range and get closer to the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano to enhance their strength.

Charles put away his phone and took a deep breath. Three days' time coincided with the trial period that Drake, the Level Eight Beast Master, mentioned.

"Could it be that Drake's trial refers to the Eye of Ice and Fire?" Charles speculated in his mind.

There was still a little time left, and what he needed to do now was complete Little Gold's promotion and boost his strength a bit more to become even more powerful.

Moreover, once the promotion was complete, Little Gold should acquire new skills, and if luck was on their side, perhaps it could even trigger a "Critical Evolution." which might improve its quality!

All the materials needed for Little Gold's promotion, including the beast core, orange-quality metal materials, and the crucial "Golden Stone." were already prepared.

He summoned the somewhat listless Little Gold.

As soon as it appeared and saw the orange-quality metal materials in front of it, its previous lethargy instantly turned into excitement!

It immediately opened its mouth wide, ready to devour them.

Charles quickly reached out his hand to stop Little Gold, exclaiming, "These are the materials for your promotion, Little Gold! If you eat them now, you won't be able to promote immediately!"

In the next moment, Little Gold obediently closed its mouth.

It then placed the beast core, metal materials, and the Golden Stone all into its mouth, chewing frantically.

Once everything melded together, golden liquid began to flow from the corners of Little Gold's mouth, continuously covering its body, as if it were being cast into a metallic artwork.

An hour later,

Little Gold's body was entirely covered in golden liquid, solidifying into a model made of metal, completely motionless.

Charles understood that this was likely the promotion process for Little Gold, which seemed a bit different from other mystical beasts.

The next thing to do was wait, the promotion process probably wasn't fully prepared yet.

Soon after, a notification appeared before Charles.
