Upon hearing Grace’s name, Charles visibly paused for a moment. He had always remembered this genius who had signed a human contract with him.
He also recalled Celestine mentioning that Grace had reached the level of a Level 4 Beast Master.
Charles had originally thought they wouldn’t have any interactions for a while, but now Celestine said Grace would be attending the Robinson family banquet.
For a moment, Charles felt a bit indecisive. He was still at the Level 3 Beast Master level, and on the surface, it seemed Grace had the upper hand.
However, considering overall strength, Charles could comfortably defeat Grace as long as she didn’t possess a means to kill a Level 5 Beast Master.
But being the direct disciple of the academy’s vice-president, could Grace really lack a trump card for defeating enemies of a higher level?
Charles suspected that Grace likely had a powerful trump card similar to the multi-attribute black gold knife glow, allowing her to attack beyond her level.
Go? Or not go?
Charles wasn’t quite sure yet. There had been a lot going on recently, including the preparation of the powerful pills Colton had given him and the super miracle drug, which he hadn’t even started yet.
He also needed to train Mia to reach Level 19 as soon as possible to prepare for her promotion.
On top of that, Charles had to stay vigilant against Constellation and Winston, tempting them into action to completely resolve the hidden crisis!
“I’ll think about it some more. If I decide to go, I’ll let you know in advance.” Charles replied.
Catherine thought for a moment and said, “I want to go see it too.”
She actually had no interest in socializing at the banquet, in her eyes, she would rather spend that free time in the training room to improve her strength!
However, Catherine was very curious about Grace. She genuinely wanted to see what kind of person this woman was who had signed a human contract with Charles.
Deep down, she even harbored thoughts of challenging Grace!
It wasn’t just for the sake of sparring with a strong opponent, she mainly wanted to test Grace’s strength in advance for Charles.
If Grace turned out to be weaker than she expected, she planned to humiliate her thoroughly!
When Charles heard what Catherine said, he thought about it again and decided that a night out wouldn’t hurt, so he might as well go see what it was all about.
“Alright then, let’s set a time for tomorrow night and all go to the Robinson family banquet together.” Charles decided.
Catherine nodded, showing no other expression or movement, but Charles could clearly feel that Catherine was in a very good mood at that moment.
He wondered if it was because he had agreed to accompany her to the Robinson family banquet.
Celestine cast a glance at Catherine, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Catherine’s request had been quickly approved by Charles without a hint of hesitation.
In Celestine’s eyes, this Catherine might be her biggest competitor!
Wait, what competition?
Celestine realized that something was off with her earlier thoughts. When did she start caring about the women around Charles?
Recalling what had happened last night, as well as the soreness in her thighs and lower back when she woke up this morning, Celestine felt a bit restless!
She quickly said to Charles, “Alright, I’ll get in touch later. I have things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
After saying that, Celestine hurriedly left as if she were escaping.
Charles and Catherine were left in confusion, not knowing what had just happened!
Before long, a day passed. After finishing his classes, Charles didn’t waste any time at all.
He spent the first half of the night training with Max, Mousie, and Mia, and began crafting the powerful pills and the super miracle drug in the second half of the night.
Mia successfully leveled up to Level 18, and even Max and Mousie advanced from Level 24 to Level 25!
It seemed that it wouldn’t be long before Mia could undergo her promotion!
In the second half of the night, Charles began the process of crafting the miracle drug.
[Powerful Pills Recipe]
[Quality]: Green-tier Miracle Drug
[Ingredients]: 20g of Returning Essence Flower, 300g of Ferocious Beast Meat…
[Description]: A miracle drug that accelerates the growth of mystical beasts. Only one can be consumed per day, excessive consumption in a short period can cause illness in mystical beasts.
He carefully retrieved the necessary herbs from his storage space and meticulously prepared everything, only starting the crafting process after confirming everything was correct.
The Powerful Pills were a green-quality miracle drug, with a difficulty level similar to that of the revival pill. In the beginning, he failed several times due to inexperience.
However, as the number of failures increased, Charles became more adept, able to remember all the mistakes and avoid repeating them.
His progress was rapid, and just before dawn, he finally succeeded in crafting the Powerful Pills!
However, the alchemical materials he had purchased were nearly exhausted. It seemed that after his morning classes, he would need to make another trip to the alchemist guild to buy more materials for the Powerful Pills.
As for the Super Miracle Drug, he would have to wait until the next attempt to refine it. Recently, there hadn’t been any trials, and Charles had the protection of the Level 7 Beast Master Ruby Wang whenever he went out.
Since he didn’t need the Super Miracle Drug for now, he decided to set it aside for the time being.
Charles stretched lazily, it was already five in the morning, and he had three hours until his morning classes began.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he went straight to bed to rest for a while.
What he didn’t know was that the incident involving Zoe and the Jason brothers had spread like wildfire overnight and was now common knowledge!
On online media, discussions about the incident had taken the top spot on trending lists, with people commenting non-stop:
“Come and see, come and learn! This is how a true Beast Master carries himself! Zoe is nothing, her brain must be malfunctioning!”
“Charles is absolutely right! Everyone is independent, no one else can decide your belonging except for yourself!”
“And that line about teaching a mad dog a lesson? That’s just too bold, it makes me want to marry him!”
“A bunch of love-struck fools! Aren’t you all paying attention to Charles’s attack? It scared even a Level 5 Beast Master!”
“I, Jace from Cyber Academy, can personally attest that Charles once used this attack to directly slay three Level 5 Beast Masters!”
“No way, that’s insane! He crossed two levels to kill three Level 5 Beast Masters? That’s just too exaggerated!”
“Come on, I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, come see for yourself! You can’t even imagine how strong Charles is!”
…
After sleeping for over two hours, Charles finally felt a bit of his energy return. He didn’t want it to be this way, but he had no choice, there had been so many things happening recently that he simply couldn’t avoid staying up late!
After a quick wash and breakfast, Charles headed to his classroom.
Along the way, people kept greeting him. At first, Charles responded, but those who noticed he was acknowledging them went wild with excitement.
Charles was immediately surrounded, bombarded with questions, and people were incessantly asking for autographs. Some female students even began to touch him.
“Wow, I got to feel Charles’s chest muscles! I’m not washing my hands for a month!”
“Sister, you’re so lucky! Step aside, let me try!”
“I want to too! I want to!”
With no other option, Charles had to use Quick Travel to speed out of the crowd!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling very puzzled. What was going on today?
Yesterday, people at the academy weren’t this crazy, today, it felt like they had lost their minds!
Charles didn’t understand. He had thought his popularity would fade in a day or two, and soon, not many would pay attention to him.
To his surprise, it only intensified, he now had to keep his head down and use his skills just to avoid being swarmed!
When he finally made it into the classroom, he saw the students’ faces light up. They pulled out their phones, ready to take pictures with him.
Fortunately, the teacher arrived just in time to start the lesson, preventing a repeat of the chaos from earlier.
“What’s going on today?” Charles asked quietly as he sat down next to Catherine.
Catherine didn’t respond but pulled out her phone to show him.
On various social media platforms, comments about Charles read either, “Charles is so handsome! I want to marry him!”
Or, “Charles is so strong! He’s my idol!”
Seeing this made Charles feel a bit awkward. He scratched the back of his head, feeling helpless. “Maybe I should buy a mask to wear? That way, no one would recognize me.”
Catherine replied coolly, “Don’t even think about it, wearing a mask would just make you more suspicious.”
The morning class ended quickly, and just as the teacher was about to leave the classroom, Charles used Quick Travel to escape.
The moment he stepped out the door, the students still in their seats rushed over to his desk, watching his retreating figure with regret.
“Damn! I was a step too late. If I had known, I would have made my move before the teacher called it a wrap.”
“What a shame, but it’s okay. There are classes this afternoon, maybe I’ll get a chance to take a picture with Charles and post it online.”
“You have no idea! I mentioned in passing that I was in the same classroom as Charles, and when I woke up this morning, I gained a thousand followers!”
“Is it really that ridiculous? How many followers did you have before?” freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Just one, and that was my alt account!”
…
Charles didn’t waste a moment on the way and flew to the Alchemist Guild. He continued to purchase some alchemy materials to refine Powerful Pills again.
However, as soon as he reached the entrance, a figure appeared in front of Charles and said:
“Charles, it’s me. I need your help with something.”
