Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Charles Is Not an Ordinary Genius

Charles carefully took the diamond-quality mystical beast egg into his hands, and a notification appeared before his eyes:

——[mystical beast egg]——

[Name]: None

[Attributes]: ???

[Level]: ???

[Quality]: Diamond Stay connected with m|vl|e|mp|y|r

[Skills]: ???

[Loyalty]: ???

[Evolution]: ???

[Description]: This is a diamond-quality mystical beast egg, currently in a dormant state. If you carry it with you for 64 hours, a contract can be formed (100% success rate).

It is truly a diamond-quality mystical beast egg. When Charles hatched mousie, he remembers it only took 24 hours.

He didn't expect that hatching a diamond-quality mystical beast egg would require 64 hours of carrying it around.

"Charles, you can't rush into the underground octagonal cage challenge. During this time, you can set aside learning alchemy and focus on strengthening your abilities and understanding [Combat Skills]." Colton suggested.

Charles naturally knew that with the need to keep the mystical beast egg with him at all times over the next few days, he wouldn't be able to challenge the Trial Tower.

However, he could still focus on training Mia, mousie, and Max to level up their combat skills, as well as use the [Overlord Heavy Armor] to improve his physical condition.

As for the upcoming auction hosted by the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association, there are still three days left. Charles didn't plan to attend every session, as that would waste too much time.

Tomorrow, he would ask President Daniel Long if there was a specific auction list.

Then he would only need to attend the auctions that interested him, which would save time.

Charles was filled with joy. A diamond-quality mystical beast egg is not something just anyone can possess, most Beast Masters have never even seen one!

But there was a problem: this mystical beast egg was much larger than the one mousie had, about the size of a basketball. Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Now Charles could only hold it with both hands, which was quite cumbersome.

It seemed he would need to find a backpack to put the mystical beast egg in, freeing his hands to do more things.

"By the way, Charles, I will talk to Ethan and have him give you some special training when he has time. This way, your chances of completing the challenge will increase." Colton said before waving his hand, indicating he had other matters to attend to.

After Charles left, Colton entered the bamboo forest, where the surrounding bamboo slowly parted, revealing a scene deep within the grove.

It was a grave, with a tombstone inscribed with the words: [Grave of Beloved Wife Wanda]

Colton slowly walked up to the tombstone and sat down beside it. He looked up at the sky above the bamboo forest and slowly began to speak:

"I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, Wanda. I wish you were still by my side to give me some advice."

"I am really pleased with Charles, he is truly a genius. No, he's even more than a genius!"

"To make up for the mistakes I made back then, I can only rely on Charles. I don't want anything to happen to him. Wanda, do you think he will succeed?"

"That guy, Jason Yang, still holds a grudge. He refuses to agree to my request to exchange alchemy materials. Well, who can blame him? I didn't take good care of you, so he will never forgive me."

A gentle breeze swept through, dissipating the sighs within the bamboo forest.

Charles returned to the dormitory with the diamond-quality mystical beast egg. Many people noticed him along the way, as carrying a mystical beast egg the size of a basketball certainly attracted attention.

Soon, photos of Charles holding the mystical beast egg spread online, sparking a lot of discussion:

"What is Charles doing? Is he engaging in performance art?"

"Are you stupid? It's not performance art, that's definitely a mystical beast egg he's holding!"

"What kind of mystical beast egg? I've never seen one like that. If it is a mystical beast egg, what quality is it?"

"I don't know, I've never seen one either. It looks really strange, nothing like a Gold or Platinum quality mystical beast egg."

"You've seen a Platinum quality mystical beast egg? I've only seen a Gold quality one!"

The topic of what Charles was holding became a hot discussion among the people of Genosha Calivia.

Most Beast Masters never had the opportunity to come into contact with a diamond-quality mystical beast egg, so they couldn't determine its nature. Until renowned Beast Mastery scholar David Qi from Genosha joined the discussion,

David Qi simply replied: "There's no doubt that this is a diamond-quality mystical beast egg. It seems Charles is in the process of hatching it and needs to carry it with him for a long time."

Once this response came out, the entire internet erupted into excitement, with countless people left in shock.

The shocking news mainly had two aspects. One was that Charles was actually hatching a mystical beast egg.

Which meant that Charles had reached the level of a Level Four Beast Master and was planning to contract his fourth mystical beast. This pace of cultivation made people question whether he was still awake.

The other shocking revelation was that Charles's mystical beast egg was actually of diamond quality!

For most Beast Masters, having a Silver or Gold quality mystical beast was already quite impressive. They never expected that Charles, who had just become a Level Four Beast Master, would possess a diamond-quality mystical beast egg.

This was something that many people couldn't accept, and they continuously posted comments online expressing their jealousy towards Charles.

In fact, it wasn't just ordinary Beast Masters who were shocked.

At that moment, in the Taylor family of Genosha Calivia,

Benson was in his study, looking at the news on his phone, his expression growing darker. He glanced up at Zane, who was kneeling on the ground, and coldly said:

"Zane, even though you are my son and the next head of the Taylor family, I must warn you again to stay away from Charles!"

Zane clenched his fists tightly, his head lowered, filled with unwillingness. He gritted his teeth and replied, "Father, I don't understand why Charles is just a commoner…"

Before he could finish, Benson threw his phone at him,

the hard device struck Zane's forehead, instantly leaving a wound as blood began to drip onto the still-lit screen,

which displayed information about Charles. Zane looked on in disbelief,

he had considered the possibility that Charles might have reached the level of a Level Four Beast Master, but he never imagined that the other party could possess a diamond-quality mystical beast egg!

As the son of the head of the Taylor family, finding an emerald-quality mystical beast egg was already extremely difficult for him, let alone a diamond-quality one.

Moreover, given Charles's cultivation speed, if there were no accidents, it wouldn't be long before he surpassed Zane, becoming an enemy that he could never defeat!

"Take a good look, compared to him, you can only be considered a commoner!" Benson felt his own anger rising, but for the sake of the Taylor family, he had to force himself to calm down.

Seeing Zane's dazed expression, Benson's heart softened, and he offered a few words of comfort:

"Don't think too much about it. For now, we can't deal with Charles, but in the future, when the time is right, even Ezra will have to pay for underestimating the Taylor family!"

Benson recalled that night when Ezra had looked down on him, as if he could completely annihilate the Taylor family whenever he wanted.

For Benson, this was an indelible shame and a deeply rooted fear, as long as Ezra existed, the Taylor family had to treat Charles with utmost courtesy and could not retaliate in any way.

"It's only for now. The world will soon fall into chaos, and that will be our opportunity for the Taylor family to rise!" Benson's eyes were filled with anticipation.

...

On the other side, in the office of the president of Cyber Academy, Jamie, Ethan, and Hale were discussing something.

Specifically about Charles participating in the underground octagonal cage challenge, "Reaper's Scythe." This was something Colton had informed them about, along with the news of Charles becoming a Level Four Beast Master.

Jamie was the first to speak: "I didn't expect Charles to become a Level Four Beast Master in such a short time. It seems his talent is even higher than we imagined."

"A genius blacksmith, a genius alchemist, a genius Beast Master, and terrifying combat abilities, he even has the potential to create his own combat techniques. Charles is truly a monster!" Ethan remarked.

"Not only that, but I also heard about what happened with Charles in the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association. He seems to be very skilled at appraising items and has never made a mistake. Even David Qi admires him greatly." Jamie added with the latest news.

Hale wore a smile, it was a joyous thing for him that Charles was so powerful and talented.

However, when Hale thought about Charles participating in the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge, his smile turned into concern, and he asked:

"The one thing Charles lacks right now is time. If only he had enough time, he would undoubtedly become the top Beast Master!"

"Yeah, but there isn't much time left. We've received news from the headquarters that the entire Ethereal Grove is about to face an unprecedented crisis." Jamie walked over to the window as he shared this information.

Ethan and Hale frowned, they were aware of this situation as well.

Ezra had been away, not only to find a way to regain his original strength but also to deal with various hidden crises.

"What if we convince Charles to give up the challenge? Hale almost died in the underground octagonal cage, even though he won against the fourth ace, he was severely injured." Ethan suggested.

Hale recalled the past, those who were called the aces of the underground octagonal cage were no pushovers.

While their mystical beasts might not be of high quality, their physical abilities and combat skills were top-notch. What was even more terrifying was that each ace was not afraid of death, willing to risk their lives in battle!

It had been nearly ten years since anyone dared to take on the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge, and Hale had also heard that recently a newcomer had appeared in the underground octagonal cage.

In just ten short days, this newcomer had become an ace! Such a person was undoubtedly stronger and more fearsome than an ordinary ace!

"I actually think Charles can do it. He's not just an ordinary genius, he's a true monster!" Jamie disagreed with the others.

It seemed he had made up his mind as he said, "I will secretly watch the match. If Charles is in life-threatening danger, I will intervene directly!"
