“Are both of you ready? The match is about to begin.” the referee asked.
Charles and Catherine both nodded, indicating that they were fully prepared. freewebnσvel.cm
The spectators in the audience all widened their eyes, focusing intently on the two, afraid to miss a single moment.
“The match officially starts now!” the referee announced loudly.
In the next second,
Seven six-pointed star formations appeared in the competition arena without any pause. Mia, Max, and Mousie’s projections of the mutated rock bear launched attacks against the four mystical beasts summoned by Catherine.
In an instant, the energies of ice and fire radiated dazzling light, as Max initiated his assault with an energy bomb from the very start!
Energy Bomb: A chaotic elemental shockwave formed by gathering ice and fire elements, resulting in a powerful explosion, but it may cause self-harm.
The powerful ice and fire explosion ruthlessly unleashed its power across the competition arena.
The gold attribute mystical beasts summoned by Catherine had no choice but to dodge.
As it dodged, Mia, soaring in the sky, seized the opportunity. Its speed reached an extreme, leaving behind an afterimage in the air as it launched a sharp claw strike at the mysterious silver spirit cat below!
Although Mia found the chance, its level was too low, the mysterious silver spirit cat was at level 38, far surpassing Mia.
The wounds kept bleeding, affecting its movements.
Just as the mysterious silver spirit cat was about to counterattack, Mia didn’t give it that chance.
After the attack, it made no pause, flapping its wings and returning to the sky.
Catherine’s mystical beasts were of the gold attribute and were unable to fly, which meant Charles held absolute air superiority!
Mia’s harassment in the air effectively restrained Catherine’s mystical beasts, creating opportunities for Max and Mousie’s projections of the mutated rock bear.
Charles was also busy, the black gold long knife was drawn, with ice and fire energy condensing on the blade.
His gaze was sharp, missing no detail in the arena as he constantly searched for an opportunity.
To defeat Catherine, he knew he had to severely injure one of her mystical beasts in an instant, without using the three-attribute black gold knife glow, before finally facing her directly!
Clearly, Catherine was aware of Charles’s intentions, her battle experience wouldn’t allow such mistakes. From the very beginning of the match, her target was Charles!
However, the energy bomb Max had used was formidable, slightly hindering her offensive momentum.
“Steel Warhorse!” Catherine commanded her mystical beast.
The steel warhorse immediately used steel strengthening and brutal charge, aiming to clear all obstacles in front of Catherine and create a swift path to approach Charles.
Meanwhile, Catherine’s mind was racing. Currently, the only mystical beast that had been injured by Mia was the mysterious silver spirit cat, its condition affected.
If she were in Charles’s position, she would undoubtedly choose to attack the injured mysterious silver spirit cat!
Even the spectators in the audience thought the same, especially the older students, who continuously analyzed and commented:
“Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I didn’t expect Charles’s mystical beast to have such powerful attacks, that energy explosion was incredible!”
“Both of these fighters have exceptional combat experience, which has led them to anticipate each other’s intentions. Right now, Charles is at a disadvantage, and if this continues, he will undoubtedly lose!”
“I don’t agree. Charles is clearly always searching for an opportunity. The energy contained in that long knife of his frightens me.”
“Every contestant who has made it to the finals is no simple opponent. Charles likely still has some trump cards up his sleeve!”
Jace listened intently from the sidelines. At this moment, he and Sadie were indifferent to the outcome of the match, whether Catherine won or Charles emerged victorious, it wouldn’t affect them.
But Kayden and Lan were different.
Especially Kayden, who turned to Lan and said, “Is this the full extent of your strength? I see Charles is only at this level.”
“Don’t be so hasty. Catherine is strong, but Charles is stronger! Anyone who dares to underestimate him will pay the price.” Lan replied, knowing this all too well. Every time he emerged from the shadow of defeat, he found himself beaten back down by Charles.
He would rather face a level five Beast Master than choose to be an enemy of Charles!
Charles was even more terrifying than a level five Beast Master!
“Catherine is definitely stronger. If Charles can win, then I…” Kayden’s words were cut short as his pupils suddenly dilated, staring in disbelief at the competition arena.
Charles made his move.
A black blade of light, with unparalleled speed and power, slashed towards Catherine’s mystical beast!
To everyone’s surprise, Charles’s target was not the mysterious silver spirit cat but the steel warhorse!
Someone exclaimed, “What? Is Charles crazy? Isn’t that spirit cat the better choice?”
“Yeah, the spirit cat is already injured, and the warhorse is still at full strength. Charles made the wrong target!”
“No, Charles is right! Catherine is prepared, she thinks Charles will attack the spirit cat. At this moment, by choosing to attack the steel warhorse, he can catch her off guard!”
The referee, who had been closely watching the match, added to the students’ discussion, “There’s one more thing you’ve overlooked: the steel warhorse is charging and cannot stop. Not only can it not evade, but this also means Charles’s attack will be even more powerful!”
The faster the speed, the greater the energy involved, Charles understood this principle.
Now, it was as if the steel warhorse was charging directly into the black gold knife glow, which would result in even heavier injuries, enough to knock it out of the fight!
At this point, it was too late for Catherine to stop it, her focus was entirely on the spirit cat, and she wouldn’t think that Charles’s target was the steel warhorse.
And sure enough,
The black blade of light struck the steel warhorse, successfully knocking it down and severely injuring it.
Now, Catherine only had three mystical beasts left capable of fighting!
The power of the black gold knife glow shocked many people. Kayden instinctively said, “That, that attack was too powerful! That’s a platinum-level mystical beast, and it’s a gold attribute mystical beast with strong defense!”
Lan replied, “Now do you believe it? But this doesn’t seem to be Charles’s strongest attack.”
“What? He has an even more powerful attack?” Kayden instinctively took half a step back, his voice raised.
Now he believed Lan’s words, if Charles truly had even stronger attack methods, defeating a level five Beast Master was indeed possible!
Kayden and Lan’s conversation was overheard by Jace in front of them.
He turned to Kayden and Lan and said, “Don’t be disrespectful. My brother Chu is the strongest! Losing to him isn’t embarrassing, after all, he’s a genius among geniuses!”
Lan wasn’t going to let Jace off easy, he feared Charles but wasn’t afraid of Jace!
“No, Charles is Charles, what does that have to do with you?” Lan replied directly.
Jace held his head high, not caring at all, and answered, “Of course it’s my business! I’m Charles friend! Do you understand? A genius’s friend!”
Outside the competition arena, Jace and Lan were at odds with each other.
Meanwhile, inside the competition arena, Catherine hadn’t given up. Wearing the newly bought boxing gloves, she chose to use Beast Mastery and planned to confront Charles head-on.
The information about the boxing gloves appeared before Charles.
[Spider Silk Boxing Gloves [Blue Quality]: Made from the unique spider silk produced by the Golden-Eating Spirit Spider, these gloves are not only lightweight and form-fitting but also possess strong defense, enhancing the wearer’s attack power while reducing damage to the hands.]
Blue quality boxing gloves?
Charles looked at the information prompt in front of him with a hint of helplessness, realizing that Catherine must have purchased these gloves to fight him at her best.
This was also the best pair of gloves she could find at the moment.
Generally, purple quality weapons and equipment can only be obtained at large auctions.
As for purple quality boxing gloves, those are even rarer. Such equipment is less commonly used, and most ordinary blacksmiths wouldn’t bother to forge them, they can only be found through custom orders or sheer luck.
Like Catherine, Charles also activated Beast Mastery to enhance his physical abilities.
He knew that the results of the match would soon be revealed.
Neither of them hesitated and launched their attacks at each other.
Catherine’s Beast Master level was higher than Charles’s, and her physical attributes were also stronger, however, she couldn’t match Charles’s speed thanks to his use of Quick Travel.
With his speed advantage, Charles was able to evade Catherine’s attacks while countering with his black gold long knife!
Charles didn’t intend to use the three-attribute black gold knife glow, its power was too great, and he couldn’t fully control it yet.
The battle between the two escalated into a heated exchange, back and forth, exceptionally thrilling!
Many spectators were left mesmerized, such combat experience was something even some veteran students couldn’t achieve!
Only through extensive real combat experience could such a fighting style be developed!
Even the referee commented, “If the levels of these two Beast Masters were the same as mine, I fear I would have been defeated long ago! They are both true geniuses!”
Lan and Kayden exchanged glances and silently withdrew their thoughts, neither of them had any complaints left.
This battle had already shown them the gap between them and Charles!
Even between geniuses, there remained an insurmountable chasm!
Finally, time passed little by little.
Catherine gradually found herself at a disadvantage, most of her attacks were dodged by Charles, and the remaining ones were easily blocked.
Moreover, Charles’s black gold long knife completely overwhelmed her spider silk boxing gloves.
Although the spider silk boxing gloves could reduce damage to her hands, Charles’s attacks were simply too powerful, causing Catherine’s hands to tremble.
This match was a loss for her.
