Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

A screen flashed, and five option boxes appeared in front of Charles, along with a countdown.

[Your mystical beast Little Gold is in the process of evolving. Please choose an evolution path!]

[A. Ordinary Evolution]: Level up to 20, learn a new skill, 90% success rate, if evolution fails, quality remains at diamond.

[B. Random Evolution]: Level up to 20, strengthen a random skill, 55% success rate, if evolution fails, quality remains at diamond.

[C. Designated Evolution (1)]: Level up to 20, evolve into a super Gold Devourer, 100% success rate. Requirements: Five Tier 5 Gold Beast Cores ×5, Super Heart ×1.

[D. Designated Evolution (2)]: Level up to 20, evolve into a two-headed Gold Devourer, 100% success rate. Requirements: One Tier 6 Gold Beast Core ×1, Five kilograms of Dual Attribute Mystical Beast Blood.

[E. Bloodline Evolution]: Level up to 20, enhance the wild bloodline within, strengthen the skill [Metal Devour], and learn a new skill, 90% success rate, if evolution fails, quality remains at diamond.

Charles looked at the information displayed before him, lost in thought. The success rate for [Designated Evolution] was the highest, but the materials required were ones he did not have.

"Excluding the two Designated Evolutions, there are three evolution paths left, and only the last one, Bloodline Evolution, is suitable."

The growth and strength of Little Gold can be enhanced not only through gaining experience from battles but also by using the skill [Devour] to consume various metals. Moreover, if he chose [Bloodline Evolution], a new skill would also emerge.

No longer hesitating, Charles directly selected the fifth evolution path, [E. Bloodline Evolution]!

Soon, it seemed that the Little Gold, resembling a metal sculpture, began to emit a golden glow, like a finely crafted piece of art.

The golden light continuously intensified, and within just a few breaths, Little Gold transformed into a small golden sun.

The outer layer of metal started to slowly be absorbed by it, vanishing completely.

As the light gradually faded, the evolution was complete, and a refreshed Little Gold appeared before Charles.

There wasn't much change in its size, it still measured around two meters in length at a glance. However, on the once-bald top of its head, a golden horn about twenty centimeters long had appeared.

Little Gold's dorsal fin had also become more prominent, rising like the peaks of mountains on the earth, gleaming with a golden sheen, looking incredibly sharp!

Charles couldn't wait to check the information about Little Gold:

——[Savage Gold-Eater Beast]——

[Name]: Little Gold

[Attribute]: Gold

[Level]: Lv20

[Quality]: Diamond

[Skills]: [Enhanced Devour], [Body Enhancement], [Rapid Recovery], [Liquid Metal Spray]

[Weakness]: Abdomen/Wood Attribute

[Hobby]: Metal Devour

[Emotion]: Happy

[Health]: Good

[Loyalty]: 83

[Evolution]: 4 Paths

[Description]: This is a very rare Savage Gold-Eater Beast, whose savage bloodline has been further enhanced, increasing its growth potential.

Charles first focused on the most critical skill, [Enhanced Devour]. The original skill, [Metal Devour]: was the most important skill for the Savage Gold-Eater Beast, allowing it to grow rapidly and enhance its strength. Moreover, when consuming a large amount of special metals, there was a chance to gain unique skills.

Now, with [Enhanced Devour]: the savage bloodline has been strengthened, allowing it to consume the vast majority of items containing gold attribute energy. When consuming large quantities of the same item, not only can it gain unique skills, but the chances are also increased.

[Liquid Metal Spray]: By consuming various metal materials, it digests and stores them in its stomach. Through the pressure from its stomach, it can spray out the liquid metal, which can quickly solidify in a very short time, restricting the enemy's movements. The solidified metal is extremely sturdy and generally cannot be destroyed!

After seeing this information, Charles's eyes lit up. After Little Gold's promotion, not only had its important skills been enhanced to consume items containing gold attribute energy, but it also gained a new control skill.

This meant that accelerating Little Gold's growth would not be so difficult in the future.

"Great job, Little Gold. Why don't you go back and rest for a bit?" Charles reached out and gently stroked Little Gold's head.

...

The special phenomenon in the Golden Mountain Range was continuing to unfold, and the lives of the residents in the small town had changed.

Due to the underground Eye of Ice and Fire volcano, the majority of residents had begun to relocate, leaving the Golden Mountain Range they had relied on for survival.

The remaining individuals were mostly Beast Masters hoping to seek adventure and wealth, along with a steady influx of outside Beast Masters into the town.

In just two days, the town was filled with the figures of Beast Masters. If it weren't for the many residents moving away, there might not have been enough space for so many people.

The talented youth from Genosha and students from the Cyber Academy had already arrived.

The teacher leading them, whom Charles knew very well, was Ethan, the instructor who had taught him practical combat.

"Charles, I've safely escorted them here. It's now up to you. The dean has arranged everything, these people will follow your command." Ethan said seriously.

The young students from Cyber Academy looked up, their eyes wide with excitement as they said: "Charles, we'll follow your lead! You tell us to go east, and we'll go east, we won't go west!"

Even the older students nodded in agreement.

All the students from Cyber Academy under the age of twenty were already present, while those over twenty were making their way to the Golden Mountain Range at a slower pace.

Charles nodded and said slowly, "Alright, according to the dean, the energy from the Eye of Ice and Fire's eruption is stable but will need to wait until tomorrow. Let's take today to rest, explore the town, and recharge."

After making simple arrangements, Zachary, Camilla, Jace, and Sadie all came over and gathered around Charles, chatting continuously.

The remaining students from Cyber Academy looked at the scene before them and whispered enviously:

"I want to go talk to Charles too, but I wonder if it's okay."

"Come on, you just want to flatter Charles."

"So what if I do? Do you think you have a chance to flatter Charles? Would you go?"

"Of course I would!"

Jace, overhearing the quiet discussions around him, instinctively puffed out his chest, wearing an expression of immense pride. After surveying the group, he turned to Charles and said:

"Charles, I heard there are many people coming this time, including the daughter of the level eight Beast Master Nathaniel, Luna!"

"Luna?" Charles hadn't heard much about this name, but he was familiar with her father Nathaniel.

Charles had been in Genosha's Calivia for a while and had encountered several prominent figures, but this powerful Beast Master Nathaniel had never shown up.

"Yeah, I heard she had been training with her father Nathaniel outside until recently. She just returned and happened to catch the opportunity with the Eye of Ice and Fire. She'll probably arrive later." Jace continued sharing his insider news.

Camilla, observing the two conversing, chimed in: "I heard from my father that not only the geniuses from Genosha are coming, but some from the Stellar Empire are already on their way. They should arrive by afternoon."

Upon hearing this news, Charles frowned slightly. He didn't have any particular fondness for the Stellar Empire.

Many of the tumultuous forces in the Atacama Desert were backed by the Stellar Empire.

The true enemies of Aria and Joshua were actually the Stellar Empire!

"It seems there will be many geniuses showing up, I just wonder if there is anyone stronger than Charles." Zachary said.

Camilla shot him an incredulous look and replied, "Is there really a genius stronger than Charles?"

Zachary thought for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "What I mean is, if there is a genius stronger than Charles, they certainly wouldn't be human."

This statement received agreement from the others.

Charles quickly said, "Alright, alright, you all take a good rest. In the afternoon, we'll go out for a walk, relax a bit, and get in the right mindset."

Everyone nodded and turned to leave.

Only Teacher Ethan remained, his sharp gaze fixed on Charles as he exclaimed, "You've gotten stronger again? No wonder you're called the monster of Cyber Academy! It's only been a few days, and you've improved again?"

Charles scratched his head and replied, "I haven't made a huge leap, just that my mystical beast completed its promotion, so my physical capabilities have improved a little."

"Your little improvement is a lot for an ordinary genius! How about this: let's have a spar later, and I'll help you adapt." Ethan immediately suggested.

Charles's eyes lit up, and he eagerly found a secluded spot to battle against Ethan, a level seven Beast Master.

Two hours later,

Charles lay on the grass, panting heavily as he recovered from the physical exertion.

Ethan stood a short distance away, reflecting, "The gap between you and your peers is getting wider, you've left them far behind. At this rate, it won't be long before no one under twenty-five can match you."

"By the way, if you get the chance, you should spar with Luna. She's not yet twenty but is already a level five Beast Master."

Charles slowly nodded. Anyone that Teacher Ethan recommended would not be simple. A level five Beast Master under twenty could directly enter the main branch of Cyber Academy.

Sparring with someone like that should be quite engaging.

Charles felt a flicker of anticipation.

Time passed, and before long, it was evening.

Charles was strolling through the town with Camilla, Zachary, and Jace when they passed an intersection and suddenly heard the sound of an argument.

With more and more Beast Masters gathering in the small town of Golden Mountain Range, conflicts were bound to arise in such a crowded place.

Charles didn't want to get involved, but just as he was about to leave, Jace suddenly said:

"This argument sounds a bit familiar. It seems to be some Academy students."

Upon hearing this, Charles halted in his tracks.
