A battle against three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters led many to believe that Charles''s strength should beparable to Finn''s, perhaps even slightly stronger.
However, even so, not many believed that Charles could defeat the formidable Icy.
A genius capable of creating his ownbat techniques is a true genius!
Many Beast Masters were unaware of the intricacies involved in creating one''s ownbat techniques.
Still, those with insight, who understood the relevant information, exined it online, allowing other Beast Masters to realize just how difficult it truly was.
The entirework of Genosha was buzzing with discussions about Icy''s strength, the mysteries of the Haunted Marsh, and whether Charles''s participation in the "Reaper''s Scythe" challenge was a reckless pursuit of death.
Charles didn''t care at all about these discussions.
After leaving the underground world, he went to the hospital to buy some fruit to visit Jace.
To his surprise, he encountered Zachary, who was also there with a gift for Jace.
Zachary was sitting beside the hospital bed, chatting happily with Jace.
"Charles, you''re here? We all watched the live stream earlier, you were amazing!" Jace was already awake.
Hey in bed, looking at Charles with admiration in his eyes.
Zachary immediately stood up and stepped back, giving Charles his ce.
Charles waved his hand dismissively and took a couple of steps closer to the bed, saying to Jace, "So, how are you feeling? Better?"
"Much better, the doctor said a good two weeks of rest should be enough."Jace replied, his expression showing no signs of distress.
Charles nodded, knowing full well that this two-week recovery period was actually a significant setback.
Having just sessfully challenged his way into ss A, Jace might fall behind the other students and end up back in ss B because of this two-week break.
Seeing Jace''s nonchnt expression, Charles didn''t know what to say. He thought to himself, maybe he could ask Teacher Colton for some targeted miracle drugster on.
That way, he could help Jace recover sooner and not dy things too much.
The three of them chatted for a while longer, and when it was about time, Charles and Zachary left the hospital room.
In the corridor, Zachary nced at Charles and hesitantly asked:
"Charles, do you feel confident about the uing battles? The inter-academypetition is starting soon, and if you get injured at this time..."
He didn''t finish his sentence, but Charles understood the implication.
If he were to get injured and it affected the inter-academypetition, he might miss out on the opportunity to enter the Genosha secret realm.
At that point, while others were inside gaining strength, he would be stuck outside nursing his injuries.
He might even miss thepetition between Genosha and Kingston altogether!
Charles scratched his head and replied casually, "It''s fine, I still have some confidence. It shouldn''t be a big deal."
Many people understood Charles''s strength and character, believing he wouldn''t do anything reckless. Even so, they still worried about him.
This was inevitable, in the world of Beast Masters, idents are always unpredictable.
Charles could only patiently exin that their concern for him was a good thing.
"By the way, I want to check on Finn. Why don''t you head back first?" Charles said.
Coincidentally, Finn was also in this hospital, and he still had some time to spare, so visiting him would be nice.
"I won''t go then. I''ll head back first."Zachary nodded. He had no rtionship with Finn, so it would be a bit awkward to visit him out of the blue.
Visiting Jace made sense since they were both in ss A, but visiting Finn would feel out of ce.
Charles checked with Shannon on his phone, and soon he arrived at another ward on a different floor.
Finn''s condition was much more serious than Jace''s.
Although Finn was awake now, he couldn''t move at all and could only lie in bed, staring nkly at the white ceiling.
The atmosphere in the room felt somewhat off.
Charles looked into Finn''s eyes and noticed that he seemed to have lost all hope, his entire being resembling a lifeless body, devoid of any vitality.
Even when he sensed Charles''s arrival.
Finn showed no reaction, lyingpletely still in the hospital bed.
"What''s wrong with him?" Charles frowned and asked Shannon, who was nearby.
Shannon sighed, looking at Finn''s lifeless eyes without giving a direct answer.
He stood up and gestured for Charles to step outside to talk.
The two of them walked into the corridor, where the hospital was quiet, almostte at night.
Shannon pulled a cigarette from his pocket, leaned against the wall, and lit it up.
Next to him was a "No Smoking" sign.
"What''s going on? Is there something wrong with Finn''s health?" Charles asked, puzzled.
He could sense that Finn''s mental state was off, as if he had lost all hope and was sinking into despair.
Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Shannon exhaled slowly, watching the smoke dissipate under the hospital lights before finally speaking.
"The doctor said he needs time to recover. Physically, there''s nothing wrong, it''s just that failing to challenge Reaper''s Scythe was a huge blow to him."
Charles responded, "That shouldn''t be the case."
"Actually, there''s a secret organization in the underground world that one can only ess after sessfully challenging Reaper''s Scythe."Shannon said, dropping his cigarette to the ground and extinguishing it.
"Only by sessfully entering this organization does he have a real chance for revenge."
Upon hearing this, Charles fell silent, realizing he hadn''t expected Finn to challenge Reaper''s Scythe in order to join the Constetion organization,
and even more so, for revenge!
Finn''s current condition required a long period of rest to fully recover, which meant he might miss the inter-academypetition.
Missing out on the Genosha secret realm would be a lost opportunity for gaining strength, and he wouldn''t have ess to the Constetion organization.
No wonder Finn seemed like everything had lost hope for him that night.
Charles didn''t know what to say. He turned and went back into the hospital room for a while before returning to Cyber Academy.
Life is full of coincidences and surprises.
If it weren''t for Icy suddenlying from the Haunted Marsh to the Abyssal Depths of Genosha, Finn, with his strength, would have had a good chance ofpleting the Reaper''s Scythe challenge.
That would not have affected his participation in the uing inter-academypetition.
However, for Charles, Icy represented an opportunity. Only by fighting someone like him could he experience a true life-and-death battle.
That would give him the chance to create his ownbat techniques and enhance his strength.
Charles had many things he wanted to aplish. He wanted to find his parents, help Ezra, seek out Catherine, and investigate the missing children cases...
There were many goals waiting for him, and only by bing stronger could he achieve them.
In some ways, Finn''s situation was simr to his own, both needed to be powerful Beast Masters to realize their aspirations.
Now, the opportunity to create his ownbat techniques and connect with the Constetion organizationy before him.
Therefore, Charles had to sessfully challenge the Reaper''s Scythe!
He needed to defeat that guy Icy!
Taking a deep breath, Charlesy down in bed and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning,
Charles woke up at six-thirty, as usual. After a quick wash-up and breakfast, Explore more at m,v l''e-NovelBin
he headed straight to the training room.
There was no need to go to the Trial Tower anymore, unless hepleted his ownbat techniques and wanted to challenge the highest level to see the mysterious reward mentioned by Dean Jamie.
But that was something to consider in the future.
He took out his phone and asked if Teacher Ethan had time.
After watching the battle between Finn and Icyst night, Charles had learned a lot.
Especially the scenes of Icy''s fight, which reyed continuously in Charles''s mind.
He carefully recalled every detail, trying to discover some of Icy''s habits and weaknesses.
After waiting for a while,
Teacher Ethan arrived at the training room. As soon as he walked in, he eagerly asked,
"Charles, I heard from the dean that youprehended thirty shadows. Dean is really something, joking with me like that, I''m not stupid, I definitely won''t believe it."
After saying that, Ethan nervously looked at Charles''s expression.
Although he imed not to believe it, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart—what if it were true?
Under Ethan''s gaze, Charles slowly nodded, confirming that what Dean Jamie said was true and not a joke.
Ethan was momentarily stunned. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still found it hard to ept such news.
He knew that Charles''s talent was far greater than that of other geniuses, but he never expected it to be this powerful!
At Cyber Academy Genosha branch, no one had everprehended all the shadows on the stone wall before!
"Wait a minute, let me catch my breath. Is this really true?" Ethan couldn''t help but ask again.
Charles replied, somewhat helplessly, "Teacher Ethan, it''s true. I need a real life-and-death battle to finalize my ownbat techniques."
Ethan took a few deep breaths. He began to understand why Charles insisted on signing up for the Reaper''s Scythe after witnessing the fight between Icy and Finn.
Only Icy,ing from the Haunted Marsh, had the strength to push Charles to the brink.
Among the other Level Four Beast Masters in Genosha, very few possessed such power, even Finn fell a bit short.
"Thirty shadows, huh? I wonder how powerful your self-createdbat techniques will be."Ethan said instinctively.
His heart was filled not only with shock but also with anticipation, eager to see just how powerful Charles''sbat techniques would be!
