Chapter 349 Charles's Knowledge Reserve
In the live stream, the young genius Beast Masters of Genosha were seen leaving the range of the Eye of Ice and Fire, while only Charles stepped forward and entered the interior of the Eye of Ice and Fire.
The viewers in the live stream immediately began to discuss the situation. The Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire had left in defeat, and only the young Beast Masters from Genosha remained.
Among these Genosha Beast Masters, the most attention-grabbing were Luna and Charles.
As a result, some viewers began sending messages, curiously asking:
"Who do you think is stronger, Goddess Luna or Charles? It looks like Luna is falling behind a bit."
This topic quickly sparked heated discussions among other viewers:
"Well, that's obvious! Everyone has seen Charles's performance, he's definitely the strongest!"
"Not necessarily. Luna is a Level 5 Beast Master. She just hasn't had the chance to showcase her skills today, otherwise, she would surely be stronger than Charles!"
"I agree. After becoming a Level 5 Beast Master, Goddess Luna left Genosha. Now that she's back, she hasn't had a chance to fight, so no one knows how strong she really is!"
"But right now, Charles is already ahead, and Luna hasn't even entered the interior of the Eye of Ice and Fire yet!"
More and more viewers joined the discussion. As a powerful genius, Luna's status as a Level 5 Beast Master was particularly persuasive.
Moreover, before Charles entered Genosha Calivia, Luna had outshone her peers, leaving a deep impression on the people of Genosha.
However, Charles was unaware that the Genosha audience was discussing him and Luna. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Because right now, all his attention was focused on the environment inside the Eye of Ice and Fire.
The mountain that originally housed the Giant Pangolins' cave had been torn in half by earthquakes caused by the Eye of Ice and Fire's volcano, collapsing on both sides.
What appeared before him was an endless river of red!
It was lava at an extremely high temperature, flowing slowly, while deep blue ice pillars shot up into the sky within the river of lava. The release of ice attribute energy collided and fused with the fire attribute energy in the lava, achieving a perfect balance.
A Teddy bubble, alternating in red and blue, slowly rose into the air and suddenly burst, exploding like fireworks and radiating brilliant colors!
"This is simply amazing!" Charles couldn't help but exclaim. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, where the energies of ice and fire created an indescribable picture.
After slightly suppressing his shock, Charles began to look ahead. At the end of his gaze was a vast lake of lava, with a gigantic ice pillar standing at the center of the red lake like a supreme spear of a deity.
On that ice pillar, it seemed that something was emanating a dazzling light.
"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the destination." Charles assessed in his mind.
He wrinkled his nose, the air around him was indeed a bit unpleasant, and with each breath, the red and blue bubbles burst, releasing an awful smell.
After staying for a while, Charles could feel something unusual in his body—sometimes hot, sometimes cold.
"This won't do, the bubbles around here will affect my body. The distance to that giant ice pillar isn't short, I can't just rush over." Charles mused, frowning as he analyzed the situation.
At that moment, Luna's figure appeared behind Charles.
A thoughtful expression also crossed her goddess-like perfect face. They exchanged glances, but neither spoke.
"There must be some way here to help me reach the end." Charles began to observe his surroundings more carefully. He activated his Divine Domain, not wanting to miss any small details!
Soon, he noticed that something seemed to be moving within the river of lava.
At first, he didn't pay much attention due to the constant rolling and surging of the lava. He subconsciously thought those waves were just caused by the Eye of Ice and Fire.
However, after activating Divine Domain, Charles was able to intuitively sense that there were living things within the lava!
The black gold long knife instantly appeared in Charles's hand. Without hesitation, he swung it toward the roiling lava, unleashing a black gold knife glow!
The next moment, a piercing scream echoed, resembling the cry of a baby.
The lava, which had only been slightly undulating, began to churn violently, as if something was struggling beneath the surface.
After a while,
a ferocious beast, over a meter long, with a bizarre appearance and entirely red in color, slowly floated up.
Immediately, an information prompt jumped out before Charles:
—Fire Spirit Fish—
[Attribute]: Fire
[Level]: 26
[Quality]: Gold
[Skills]: Tail Whip Attack, Lava Spit
[Weakness]: Ice Attribute
[Description]: This is a mystical beast that has lived in extremely hot environments for a long time, possessing a rich fire attribute energy. Consuming it not only enhances physical familiarity but also temporarily increases the absorption rate of fire attribute energy.
Charles's eyes instantly lit up, this Fire Spirit Fish was a great find for him!
However, the corpse of the Fire Spirit Fish lay in the extremely hot lava, making it not so easy to retrieve.
After a moment of thought, Charles summoned Mia, who could fly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
In the next instant, an energy bomb was launched by Charles, exploding violently on the surface of the lava river, and the corpse of the Fire Spirit Fish was sent soaring into the air by the immense energy.
Then, Mia quickly flew low, her sharp claws accurately grabbing the corpse of the Fire Spirit Fish and bringing it back to Charles.
"Well done! When we get back, I'll get you some fine wine as a reward!" Charles patted Mia on the head.
He noticed Mia's eyes widen with excitement as she tilted her head back and let out a loud cry.
Meanwhile, Luna stood behind them, her face filled with confusion as she watched the events unfold. She had been observing the environment within the Eye of Ice and Fire and had not discovered anything unusual.
If Charles hadn't acted suddenly, she would never have known that there was life thriving in the scorching lava!
What surprised Luna even more was Charles's quick thinking, he instantly came up with the idea of using a skill to launch the fish, then letting a flying mystical beast retrieve it.
Luna stared intently at Charles's next actions as she watched him use the long knife in his hand to cut off a piece of fish meat and put it directly into his mouth, savoring it.
Finally, Luna couldn't hold back any longer and quietly asked:
"Aren't you afraid it's poisonous?"
Charles paused for a moment, feeling the Fire Spirit Fish being digested within him. The alternating sensations of heat and cold were greatly alleviated.
"I know this ferocious beast doesn't have poison, and eating it can enhance physical quality and increase the capacity for fire attribute energy." Charles replied after finishing the last piece of fish meat.
Luna's surprise deepened, as the daughter of Nathaniel, the Iron-Blooded Minister of Genosha, she had studied various aspects of Beast Mastery since childhood and had never heard of such a ferocious beast that lived in lava.
Yet Charles recognized it at a glance and was very familiar with the information about this ferocious beast, confirming it contained no toxins.
Not only was Luna surprised, but Drake also turned to Jamie and asked slowly:
"The Fire Spirit Fish, this mystical beast, only exists in special environments like the Eye of Ice and Fire. Does your Cyber Academy even teach this kind of knowledge?"
Jamie thought seriously for a moment, shook his head, and replied, "No, the curriculum for new students at Cyber Academy doesn't include any courses about this ferocious beast."
"Then how does Charles know so much?" Nathaniel couldn't help but ask at that moment.
The strength of a Beast Master is also reflected in their perspective and knowledge reserves. After all, when encountering a ferocious beast or an enemy, being able to quickly identify the type and weaknesses of mystical beasts is crucial.
A powerful Beast Master will never stop the pursuit of knowledge. This was Nathaniel's first time encountering the Fire Spirit Fish, as he had only heard of it before.
"I don't think you understand, Charles has an incredible eye for things. He possesses astonishing knowledge in item appraisal, so much so that even the Beast Mastery scholars in Genosha speak highly of him." Jamie explained slightly.
Upon hearing this, Drake and Nathaniel fell silent. They could understand that Charles's strength came from his abnormal talent.
However, knowledge in Beast Mastery requires time to accumulate!
"Is he really just a commoner?" Nathaniel turned his head, his gaze toward Jamie very serious and earnest.
At that moment, Nathaniel was thinking that Charles might be an undercover agent from some secret organization infiltrating Cyber Academy.
Jamie glanced at Nathaniel, waved his hand, and replied:
"Don't worry, I've tested him before. At the very least, Charles is not a member of the Constellation organization, and no power would be foolish enough to send such a powerful genius into danger."
Hearing this response, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief, but a bigger question arose in his mind: just how much knowledge about Beast Mastery did Charles possess?
Meanwhile, Charles, who was being discussed by the three Level 8 Beast Masters, was staring intently at a nearby ice pillar, pondering:
"Everything exists in a balance of forces. Since there's a Fire Spirit Fish in the lava, there should be something special within that ice pillar as well."
