The library at Cyber Academy was unusually quiet. Most of the students who came here were focused on studying theoretical knowledge of Beast Mastery.
However, Charles''s goal was not to read those types of books. He headed straight to the section with misceneous books, calming himself down as he began to read slowly.
He didn''t find any books about the strange tentacles, but he dide across several ounts of unusual events.
For example, one book detailed how the residents of a town mysteriously vanished overnight, sparking widespread discussion.
By the time evening rolled around, Charles hadn''t made much progress. At that moment, he suddenly remembered someone:
Experience new stories on m v|l e''-NovelBin
The Beast Mastery schr, Dovid, whom he had met at the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association''s trading market!
As the most renowned Beast Mastery schr in Genosha, he was likely to know things that ordinary people were unaware of.
After the "Reaper''s Scythe" challenge was over, Charles nned to find an opportunity to visit him in person.
Stepping out of the library, Charles, as usual, summoned Little Gold, Max, Mia, and Mousie.
Little Gold seemed somewhat unhappy, mainly because the quantity of Feather Gold was limited.
Charles had slightly restricted the amount for him.
After finishing his meal, Little Gold kept his head raised, staring longingly at Charles.
He looked incredibly pitiful!
"Don''t worry, it''s just how things are. I''m already looking for other food sources. Can you wait a couple of days?" Charles gently stroked Little Gold''s head.
Soon, Little Gold nodded, trying hard not to gaze at the other mystical beasts eating, and went back to the Beast Mastery space.
After dinner, Charles made his way to the underground arena.
Along the way, all the spectators who saw him surrounded him, shouting loudly:
"Charles! Do you have confidence today? I want to bet on your win, is that okay?"
"Go, Charles! I spent ten gold coins betting on your victory!"
"You''re done for! I bet on Icy winning, Charles definitely can''t do it!"
Listening to the shouts around him, Charles suddenly thought of something. Little Gold would need a lot of rare metals in the future, which would cost quite a few gold coins.
This battle was a good opportunity.
Once he arrived in the waiting room, Charles took out his phone and sent a message to Celestine, transferring fifty gold coins.
[Can you help me with something soon? I want to ce a bet, and I want to buy my win with all this money.]
Before long, Celestine replied:
[So much! Alright!]
She didn''t ask any further questions and immediately called over a staff member to ce all fifty gold coins on Charles''s victory!
"Ma''am, are you sure? The maximum personal bet is fifty gold coins. The current odds are 1:2.5. If Charles wins, you could receive 125 gold coins."the staff member said.
Celestine showed no hesitation, she believed in Charles!
The maximum amount a person could bet was fifty gold coins, and after betting for Charles, she wouldn''t be able to ce another bet.
Celestine didn''t care about that, she only hoped that Charles would not get hurt.
Even if he couldn''t defeat Icy, as long as he remained uninjured, that would be a good oue.
Under the watchful gaze of the spectators, Celestine received the ticket handed to her by the staff.
Some onlookers watched her intently, their eyes fixated on the ticket in her hand, eager and restless.
At that moment, Ruby arrived beside Celestine, apanied by a teacher from Cyber Academy.
Sensing the aura of a high-ranking Beast Master, the teacher immediately lowered his head, not daring to look up again.
"Sister Ruby, do you think Charles can defeat Icy?" Celestine couldn''t help but ask the question that had been worrying her since she saw a familiar face.
Ruby hesitated for a moment upon hearing the question, in truth, she didn''t think Charles had a great chance of winning.
The fact that Icy had created her ownbat techniques put a significant gap between her and Charles!
"Don''t worry, Charles will win."a deep voice chimed in, it was Ethan, who hade along with the Cyber Academy staff!
Unlike the other teachers, Ethan understood Charles''s current state very well.
Havingprehended the thirty silhouettes on the stone wall and perfectly controlling his progress, there wouldn''t be another like him in all of Genosha!
As long as Charles could create his ownbat techniques during the fight with Icy, he would definitely be able to defeat her!
With that thought, Ethan waved his hand, and a staff member promptly approached him.
"This card has fifty gold coins on it, bet it all on Charles winning."Ethan stated directly.
This made Celestine breathe a sigh of relief and caused Ruby''s eyes to widen in surprise, fifty gold coins was no small amount even for a teacher at Cyber Academy.
She was astonished, realizing that Ethan must have some insider information to be so confident in Charles.
With this in mind, Ruby no longer hesitated and used all thirty gold coins she had to bet on Charles''s victory.
"Charles, you better not disappoint your sister! If you win, I''ll reward you, but if you lose, there will be consequences."Ruby thought of several ways to reward and punish Charles as she watched him walk through the tunnel.
Under the gaze of everyone, Charles slowly entered the octagonal cage, his expression showing no signs of agitation or nervousness.
All the spectators could sense the calmness radiating from him, as if facing Icy in battle was just an everyday affair for Charles.
Finally, when Icy entered the octagonal cage to the cheers of the crowd,
Charles''s expression began to change, the calmness vanished, reced by anticipation!
Some spectators who were closer began to discuss among themselves:
"Am I mistaken? Why do I feel like Charles is really looking forward to this fight?"
"Anticipation is normal, there aren''t many Level Four Beast Masters in all of Genosha who can fight with Charles. Icy is the best opponent right now!"
"That''s true, a true powerhouse must crave battles with other strong opponents. But who will win?"
"That''s obvious, it has to be Icy! She has her ownbat techniques—does Charles have any?"
As the bald host introduced the fighters, the atmosphere in the underground arena reached its peak.
Countless frenzied spectators twisted and turned their bodies, feeling a wave of impulse and excitement.
They shouted the names of their chosen fighters, their faces filled with fervor, as if this was the way to vent all their negative emotions.
Feeling the surrounding energy, Icy''s heart started to race, it had been a long time since he felt this excited.
Hisst fight with Finn hadn''t satisfied him, and now he was facing an even stronger Charles.
Genosha was truly a remarkable ce, as it had produced two individuals who piqued his interest at the same time.
"Charles, I won''t hold back this time."Icy said casually.
"Coincidentally, neither will I."Charles replied.
Their gazes met in mid-air, filled with the desire for battle.
Fighting was the best way to enhance one''s strength!
Meanwhile, in front of the live stream,
Jace, lying on the hospital bed, Finn, and Shannon beside him, silently stared at the screen, the atmosphere more serious than ever.
"Finn, do you think Charles will seed in the challenge?" Shannon asked nervously.
He had already considered Charles a friend in his heart. The moment he learned that Charles had saved twenty-six children, he had epted him.
Not to mention that they had stood together against the Constetion, and that Charles had given the orange-quality miracle drug to Finn.
All of this made him genuinely concerned about Charles and anxious for his sess.
"I''m not really sure either, all we can do now is believe in Charles."Finn replied.
They weren''t the only ones thinking this way.
In Genosha Lsengard,
David, Raj, Henry, Lord Matthew, and many others who Charles didn''t know were gathered together, their eyes glued to the images on the screen.
The battle hadn''t officially started yet, but everyone present was unusually serious.
Those who were closer to Charles were really hoping for his victory, to them, knowing Charles and having worked together was already a great fortune.
As for Matthew, he was feeling extremely nervous. He didn''t want Charles to win, but he also
didn''t want him to die.
After all, Charles had a human contract with his daughter, Grace!
If Charles won, it would likely mean that, two yearster, Grace could be Charles''s servant!
If something unexpected were to happen to Charles, the Garcia family of Lsengard would lose a powerful Beast Master, alchemist, and cksmith!
But the audience following the live stream was far from limited to just these people.
There was Grace, who was training hard in the mountains to grow stronger, Lily, who was already a Level Two Beast Master after her solo training, and Aria, who was squeezing time out of her busy schedule in the Atacama Desert.
Countless individuals were waiting for the start of this battle, hoping for Charles''s victory.
In the octagonal cage, Charles had no idea how many people were watching this fight.
His thoughts were very simple at the moment.
He aimed to perfect his self-createdbat techniques and defeat Icy!
That was what he intended to aplish tonight, and he was determined to seed!
Soon, the signal for "Fight Begin" sounded.
The entire underground arena fell silent in an instant, many spectators tried to slow their breathing, stopping their chatter, and focused intently on the action in the octagonal cage.
"From what I''ve seen in the earlier fights, it looks like your physical condition is pretty good. Let me see it for myself."Icy said casually.
He didn''t want to start with his self-createdbat technique, Asura, a thrilling battle should unfold gradually.
In the next moment,
Icy''s body vanished from its original spot, and when he reappeared, he was right in front of Charles.
With fists slicing through the surrounding air, creating a whistling sound, he aimed a powerful punch straight at Charles''s face!
