NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 324: Entrance!
Next, an unforgettable scene unfolded for all the young geniuses on the ground.
Around the four level eight Beast Masters floating above everyone, enormous hexagram arrays began to slowly materialize.
The dazzling light emitted by these arrays surpassed even the red and blue glow of the Eye of Ice and Fire, illuminating the entire area like a spectacular firework display in the evening sky!
A total of thirty-two hexagram arrays meant that thirty-two high-level mystical beasts were appearing on the scene!
Drake's metal attribute mystical beast, Jamie's wood attribute mystical beast, Nathaniel's wind attribute mystical beast, and Zorion's fire attribute mystical beast—all thirty-two mystical beasts scattered instantly, with some soaring directly into the sky.
The remaining powerful mystical beasts landed on the ground, covering the entire mountain!
"Oh my God, the mystical beasts summoned by four level eight Beast Masters could probably destroy a city within minutes if they go all out!" Jace exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment.
The aura emanating from those mystical beasts was so overwhelming that it made one hesitant to even make eye contact!
This was still due to the distance, if he were any closer, he might already be trembling and too scared to move.
It seemed that the four level eight Beast Masters were deliberately showcasing their power, allowing the young geniuses to see what true strength looked like, as they let their oppressive aura radiate freely instead of suppressing it.
"The time has come, the Eye of Ice and Fire officially begins. Level three Beast Masters may enter!" Nathaniel's voice echoed from the sky.
However, the dangerous aura of the mystical beasts, combined with the overwhelming pressure from the level eight Beast Masters, made the air in the entire area feel heavy.
Many of the young geniuses who had never seen such a scene instinctively took a few steps back, swallowing nervously, and no one dared to step forward.
Mira and Silas had also never witnessed the spectacle of four level eight Beast Masters summoning mystical beasts and releasing their power, and since they were level three Beast Masters, they remained motionless.
On the other side, Luna, a level five Beast Master from Genosha, frowned slightly as she observed the inaction of the surrounding geniuses.
Just as the young geniuses from the Stellar Empire and Genosha stood frozen in place, some even retreating, Charles was the first to step forward.
Although he had never witnessed the scene of all four level eight Beast Masters summoning their mystical beasts, he had experienced the pressure from level nine Beast Master Lucas.
"Attention, level three Beast Masters of Genosha! It's time for you to show what you've got! Glory belongs to us! Glory belongs to Genosha!" Charles took two steps forward, standing in front of the crowd, and shouted loudly.
If it were up to him, he wouldn't normally want to take the spotlight, but someone had to step up to motivate the young geniuses of Genosha.
"Glory belongs to us! Glory belongs to Genosha!"
The level three Beast Masters instantly reacted, clenching their fists and raising them high, all their eyes turning towards Charles.
They looked at this calm and composed individual, who had always maintained his cool, and was known as a monster of Cyber Academy!
Jace was positioned near the front, gritting his teeth as he prepared to step onto the ground filled with deep pits.
However, as he passed by Charles, he stopped in his tracks.
Charles approached Jace and whispered a few words to him.
Once Jace was the first to step onto the ground, filled with deep pits and continuously emitting ice and fire energy, the others began to take action as well.
Every level three Beast Master from Genosha would glance at Charles when entering, their tension and unease fading away, leaving only a sense of determination!
"Damn it! That Charles guy got ahead of me!" Silas noticed the commotion on Genosha's side and cursed inwardly.
He quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Stop dawdling! Let's show the people of Genosha the strength of our Stellar Empire! Level three Beast Masters, all of you, enter!"
Silas's voice was loud and full of momentum, as the crown prince of the Stellar Empire, his charisma should have been stronger than Charles's.
However, he didn't expect that his words would not have much of an inspiring effect.
The level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire were not particularly enthusiastic, with many still focused on Charles.
The competition between Charles and Silas had already begun!
And from the looks of it, Charles was clearly outperforming anyone else!
In the air,
Jamie smiled with satisfaction, impressed by Charles's performance.
He wondered how the others would perform, originally, the Eye of Ice and Fire could have been simpler, allowing the young geniuses to absorb energy directly.
The reason it had turned into such a competitive and risky situation was that he and several other high-ranking members of Genosha wanted the youth to gain more experience and accelerate their growth!
Setting aside the long-term crisis, there was a high possibility of war breaking out between Genosha and Kingston. When that time came, these young Beast Masters might find themselves on a real battlefield.
In a battlefield, the situation would only become more dangerous.
"Experiencing more now will give them a better chance of survival when they face danger in the future!" Jamie thought to himself as he focused on the level three Beast Masters who had already entered.
He recognized the first person to enter, it was Jace, who had a good relationship with Charles.
As the first level three Beast Master from Genosha to enter, Jace felt a bit nervous, but remembering Charles's actions and encouragement, he took a few deep breaths to calm his anxious heart.
Around the deep pits, the ice and fire energy was radiating, and Jace could feel the temperature fluctuating, alternating between scorching heat and biting cold.
Even as a level three Beast Master with decent physical attributes, the stimulation from the extreme temperatures made him sneeze twice.
Furthermore, the ice and fire energy was surging wildly into his body!
Jace felt as if he had entered a swamp, with an invisible restraint surrounding him, making him feel limited in every way.
Recalling Charles's words,
Jace made an effort to move his feet and slowly walked toward a high mound not far away.
Seeing other level three Beast Masters coming in behind him, he quickly shouted:
"Follow me, don't stop here! We're going to the front!"
Find your adventure at empire
The Beast Master hesitated, unsure if he should follow Jace's lead.
Sensing the hesitation, Jace quickly added, "Don't worry, this is Charles's plan. If you won't listen to me, at least listen to him!"
After hearing Jace's words, the hesitation on the Beast Master's face vanished in an instant.
He quickly turned around and shouted to the others behind him:
"Tell everyone behind to follow the ones in front to that mound! This is Charles's arrangement!"
...
Soon, after all the level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire entered, all the level three Beast Masters from Genosha arrived at the top of the mound.
Time passed little by little,
The level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire gradually adapted to the surrounding ice and fire energy, and someone suddenly remembered Silas's orders, saying:
"Stop dawdling! The Genosha Beast Masters are on that mound, let's hurry and attack!"
Among these Beast Masters, some had experienced real battlefields and came from military families, giving them a strategic vision far superior to others. One shouted:
"Wait! That mound is easy to defend and hard to attack, a rash assault would be very risky!"
Immediately, someone replied, "Risky or not, we have to go! Didn't Crown Prince order us to act? Hurry up!"
Quickly, the opposing voices faded away,
And the level three Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire began to approach the mound where Jace and the others were.
"Sure enough, everything is just as Charles said, these people are up to no good. Brothers, let's prepare our defenses and don't forget to leave a few Stellar Empire members for Charles!" Jace shouted loudly.
The surrounding Genosha youth laughed and responded enthusiastically:
"Don't worry! There's absolutely no problem! We have to give Charles the chance to take action!"
Hearing the voices of the young geniuses from Genosha respond, both Nathaniel and Jamie nodded in the air. Jamie remarked:
"Charles has a keen strategic vision, this mound is the perfect defensive position. I didn't expect he had this kind of talent. Truly, Charles never ceases to amaze and shock us!"
Nathaniel wholeheartedly agreed. As the most renowned iron-blooded minister of Genosha, he naturally possessed a high level of strategic insight. He knew that in multi-person battles, timing, terrain, and morale were all crucial factors.
Right now, Genosha had already secured both the terrain and morale, giving them a significant advantage.
However,
Jamie sighed and said slowly, "It's a pity that the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire are using some underhanded methods. Their auras are a bit chaotic, they must have taken some miracle drug in advance to temporarily boost their strength."
"Decisive! After taking a miracle drug for temporary strength, there will be a period of weakness. The Stellar Empire is sacrificing some level three Beast Masters' gains for greater benefits, their methods are quite clever." Nathaniel added.
As level eight Beast Masters, they had long since noticed the irregularities.
Jamie and Nathaniel discussed it briefly and decided not to intervene, as this was also a tactic, albeit a rather dishonorable one.
However, on a real battlefield, honor is not important, what matters is achieving victory, eliminating the enemy, and surviving!
