While the crowd debated whether Charles’s long knife was a purple-quality weapon.
Zoe’s face had turned pale, and his legs felt weak. He was now weaponless, and everything had caught him off guard. Who would have thought Charles would be this fast?
Not only did it leave him unprepared, but it also shattered his hard-earned blue-quality weapon!
“Charles, don’t be impulsive! I know I was wrong, I concede!” Zoe was surprisingly decisive, knowing he couldn’t win a fight or escape now.
Looking into Charles’s cold gaze, Zoe felt that if he didn’t beg for mercy now, death was surely waiting for him!
“You don’t realize you were wrong, you just know you’re about to die!” Charles’s killing intent had not diminished. Even if he didn’t kill Zoe, he intended to give him a lesson he’d never forget!
The [black gold long knife] whistled as it swung toward Zoe’s body.
When suddenly, a massive wooden spike flew toward Charles!
Charles had no choice but to stop his assault. He turned to confront the flying wooden spike, and with a swift change of direction, his black gold long knife sliced the spike in half.
“Who is it?!” After fending off the sudden attack, Charles turned to the side and saw a young man with red hair slowly dismantling a hexagram array beside him.
Having narrowly escaped with her life, Zoe wasted no time. She rolled and scrambled over to the man, crying out, “Brother, someone is trying to kill me!”
The person who arrived was none other than Zoe’s brother, Jason!
Jason looked at his sister’s terrified expression with disgust. He kicked her aside before raising his gaze to Charles and said, “If it’s a spar, it should be a spar, Charles. That was a bit too harsh, don’t you think?”
Before Charles could respond, someone from the crowd immediately defended him, saying, “Who said it was just a spar? Charles clearly stated it in advance, and Zoe agreed. There’s no problem with that.” freēwēbnovel.com
“Exactly, Zoe agreed to it. He can go all out against Charles, but it’s a pity he couldn’t even last a little longer.”
“Shut up!” Jason’s expression darkened as he looked around, and the surroundings immediately fell silent. No one dared to mock him anymore.
At that moment, Charles spoke up, saying, “What’s this? You beat up the little one, and now the big one shows up?”
Jason’s demeanor was dismissive as he took a couple of steps forward, getting closer to Charles. He said, “You think you can take me on? I’m a Level 5 Beast Master. Fighting you would be like bullying a child.”
Level 5 Beast Master?
Charles was a bit taken aback by Jason’s words. If that was true, then Jason’s talent was indeed impressive.
In his twenties, a Level 5 Beast Master was considered a genius among ordinary people.
However, even a Level 5 Beast Master was not someone Charles had never defeated before!
Just as Charles was about to say something, Celestine could no longer hold back. She stepped forward and positioned herself in front of Charles, staring defiantly at Jason as she said:
“What does being a Level 5 Beast Master matter? It’s clearly your brother’s fault. How can you be so shameless?”
“Celestine, even if you have some talent and the teachers at school think highly of you, that doesn’t give you the right to be so disrespectful. Remember, I’m your senior!” Jason said, raising his hand high.
It looked like he intended to teach Celestine a lesson.
At that moment, Charles gripped his black gold long knife tightly and unhesitatingly infused it with three types of energy.
A destructive aura radiated from Charles!
Jason’s expression changed drastically. As a Level 5 Beast Master, he was naturally perceptive.
He didn’t know what was happening, but Charles, a mere Level 3 Beast Master, was making him feel a sense of deadly threat!
Jason reacted quickly. He intended to summon a mystical beast to perform Beast Mastery and defend against Charles’s attack. However, the black gold knife glow was simply too fast.
Before his mystical beast could even appear, the black gold knife glow was already at his chest!
Just as Jason thought he was about to meet his end, a wall of earth materialized in front of him, blocking Charles’s black gold knife glow.
“Little brother, having such a bad temper is not a good thing, you know.” An enchanting voice came from behind Charles.
A stunning woman in a black qipao, wearing black stockings, stepped out. Her hair was elegantly styled, and she wore red glasses, with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye that added to her allure!
Ruby Wang swayed her hips, and the sound of her high heels clicking against the smooth floor drew everyone’s attention to her.
Her plump red lips parted slightly as she addressed Charles, saying, “Hello there, Charles dear. It’s nice to meet you for the first time. My surname is Wang, and my name is Ruby. Just call me Sister Ruby.”
Charles watched Ruby Wang approach, and he realized that this person was likely sent by Cyber Academy for personal protection, though he hadn’t expected her to be such a charming older sister!
“Oh dear, it seems someone is scared stiff. What’s that awful smell?” Ruby Wang delicately covered her mouth and nose with her fair hand, wearing a look of disgust as she glanced at Jason.
“Holy crap, it’s true! Jason’s pants are soaked!”
“No way, was Charles’s attack really that powerful?”
“But Jason is a Level 5 Beast Master! Could Charles’s attack actually kill a Level 5 Beast Master?”
“No matter what, Jason deserves it! Who told him to go after Celestine?”
Jason’s expression was blank. He hadn’t yet reacted to the life-and-death crisis when he heard the whispers around him.
He instinctively looked down, and he saw very noticeable water stains on his pants. Only then did he slowly realize that he had indeed wet himself out of fear from Charles’s attack!
Earlier, he had been mocking his brother Zoe for being scared by Charles, not expecting that Zoe was actually stronger than him, at least maintaining his bodily dignity!
And here he was, in front of everyone, having wet his pants because of Charles’s attack!
“Damn it! Charles, you wait for me! I will not let this go!” Jason barely had time to spit out more threats as he covered his groin and hurriedly fled the scene.
Behind him was his brother Zoe, who also hadn’t registered what had just occurred. To him, his older brother had always been stronger, yet today, he was even more pathetic!
“Bro, wait for me!” Zoe quickly chased after the fleeing Jason. The two brothers disappeared amidst the mocking laughter of the onlookers.
Ruby Wang stood in place, assigned by the academy to protect Charles.
At first, when she learned she would be protecting a Level 3 Beast Master, she was very resistant.
As a top-tier Level 7 Beast Master, her time was incredibly valuable!
Being a personal protector meant being available twenty-four hours a day, never leaving his side, which felt like a waste of time!
But now, seeing Charles’s performance, all her resentment had vanished.
That slash of energy Charles unleashed had the power to kill a Level 5 Beast Master!
Even she was shocked, she had never seen a Level 3 Beast Master capable of crossing two levels to take down a Level 5 Beast Master!
While Ruby Wang marveled at Charles’s attack, she couldn’t help but have other questions arise.
“You seem unfazed by my arrival.” Ruby Wang observed with keen interest, noting that when she deflected the black gold knife glow, Charles had shown no surprise at all!
“Well, not really surprised. Those security guards over there probably didn’t step in because they saw you here.” Charles said, pointing to the guards watching the scene unfold.
During his fight with Zoe, he had noticed that whether it was his attack or Jason’s wooden spikes, the expressions on the guards’ faces were filled only with curiosity and surprise—there was no hint of concern.
If a fatal incident occurred at the entrance of Cyber Academy, they would face scrutiny, so their reluctance to intervene likely stemmed from knowing someone capable of stopping the situation was nearby.
Putting together what the academy had said about arranging personal protection, Charles quickly deduced the situation.
“Oh? So you’re that sure? What if you misjudged the situation? If I hadn’t acted, Jason could have really died.” Ruby Wang’s curiosity deepened.
Charles didn’t answer, he actually wanted to say that if he misjudged, so be it. He could always claim who would have thought a Level 5 Beast Master couldn’t withstand an attack from a Level 3 Beast Master!
“Are you okay?” Charles asked with concern, noticing Celestine still staring at him in a daze.
Since Charles’s counterattack ended, Celestine had maintained that expression, gazing at him blankly, lost in thought.
After a long pause, she finally came to her senses and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Charles. Today’s events were all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Zoe wouldn’t have come after you.”
Charles waved his hand dismissively, indicating it was no big deal. “It’s nothing. Just a mad dog that only knows how to bark and doesn’t respect anyone. Teaching it a lesson was no hassle.”
Charles didn’t lower his voice at all, so those still nearby could clearly hear him.
“Holy crap! Charles is so cool! That line was just too badass!”
“Exactly! Not only is he powerful, but he also respects others and knows how to protect them. He’s just perfect!”
“Sometimes being too perfect can be a flaw. For me, there’s absolutely no hope of becoming Charles’s girlfriend!”
Listening to the increasingly absurd chatter, Charles quickly led Catherine and Celestine back to the academy, with Level 7 Beast Master Ruby Wang following behind.
On the way, Celestine looked at Charles and asked, “Charles, are you going to the Robinson family banquet tomorrow? I heard Grace will be attending.”
Grace?
Catherine’s ears perked up, clearly showing she was particularly interested in that name!
