Colton took a few slow steps forward, standing in front of Charles, and placed the [Temporary Enhancement Potion] into Charles’s palm, while quietly asking, “Are you confident?”
Charles did not answer but silently nodded.
“Today, I’ve been quite moved by these two young people. So, I’ll take out an orange quality miracle drug as a reward for the winner.” Colton said.
After receiving Charles’s response, he did not hesitate at all and took out another potion from the ring on his hand.
[High-Level Auxiliary Cultivation Miracle Drug [Orange Quality]: This is a potion that aids cultivation. After use, it will rapidly enhance the user’s Beast Master cultivation speed for half a month!]
“What! It’s actually an orange quality potion, and it looks like the legendary [High-Level Auxiliary Cultivation Miracle Drug]!”
“[High-Level Auxiliary Cultivation Miracle Drug]? What is that? I’ve never heard of it!”
“It’s a very rare potion that can help Beast Masters accelerate their cultivation speed. Its greatest benefit, however, is that it can help them break through when they hit a bottleneck in their training!”
“Wow! Is it really that powerful? Isn’t this just handing the miracle drug to Zane? He’s definitely going to win!”
“Who can argue with that? Just look at how happy Zane is! Even the Taylor family would find it hard to get their hands on such a miracle drug!”
As Zane listened to the discussions around him, a broad smile spread across his face. He hadn’t expected that targeting Charles today would result in such a reward!
He was determined to claim that [High-Level Auxiliary Cultivation Miracle Drug]!
“Hale, since the Robinson family is hosting a banquet today and you’ve encountered such an event, why not bring out something as a reward for the winner?” Colton said with a smile to Lance Lin.
Seeing Colton produce the orange quality miracle drug, Lance Lin felt it would be difficult to refuse. Given that the duel should have no suspense, Zane was likely to win.
In that case, even if he brought out something precious, it wouldn’t end up in Charles’s hands. It would save face and help maintain a good relationship with the Taylor family.
With that thought in mind, Lance Lin no longer hesitated and took out a piece of metal material,
[Flame Alloy [Orange Quality]: A rare metal material with fire attributes, suitable for weapon forging and enhancement.]
Charles looked at the information prompt in front of him, feeling a surge of excitement. He hadn’t expected that the rare metal material Lance Lin brought out was exactly what he needed for the enhancement of the [Black Gold Long Knife]!
With that, the duel had to go on. Whether it meant forcing Zane to admit defeat or claiming the [Flame Alloy], he was determined to have it!
At the same time, Zane’s mindset was similar to Charles’s. In today’s duel, he was set on making Charles suffer a crushing defeat!
“How about it? Charles has a blue quality potion. Can you handle it?” Zane turned to David Zheng, who had been following closely behind him, and asked.
David Zheng replied, “There shouldn’t be any problem. I’ve seen many geniuses, and the strongest on the battlefield is the one who survives!”
With David Zheng’s response, Zane felt completely at ease. This way, everything Colton and Lance Lin brought out would belong to him!
“Charles! Are you ready to taste defeat, just like we agreed before?” Zane raised an eyebrow and shouted at Charles.
After drinking the [Temporary Enhancement Potion], Charles nodded and replied, “I’m ready. Are you prepared to kneel and admit your mistake?”
“What a joke! So what if you’ve reached level four as a Beast Master? Am I supposed to lose?” Zane was not worried at all, his mind was filled with thoughts of the treasures Colton and Lance Lin had brought, as well as the scene where he would humiliate Charles after his defeat!
Just thinking about it made Zane feel utterly satisfied. He said to Snowy Gao, “Just watch, I’m going to make Charles kneel and apologize to me!”
“Pfft! It’s not even you fighting Charles. Besides, Charles might not even lose!” Snowy Gao was furious, she had never seen someone as shameless as Zane!
If it weren’t for the elders at home warning her not to get into fights before coming here, she would have kicked Zane in the face long ago.
Celestine turned her head and tugged at Charles’s sleeve, asking with concern, “Charles, be careful later.”
Catherine looked into Charles’s eyes and noticed there was no trace of fear or worry. She immediately understood that Charles was confident, so she didn’t worry too much and simply said, “Be careful and don’t get hurt.”
Charles nodded, indicating that he understood.
Unlike Catherine, Celestine, and Snowy Gao, the others were not optimistic about Charles, especially Grace.
She crossed her arms and stood at a distance, quietly watching Charles as she said, “Hmph, trying to show off. Charles, you’re up against a battle-hardened warrior! How could you possibly be his match?”
The Grand Princess of Genosha, Rose turned to her sister Camilla and asked, “I heard this is from your Class A? Without summoning a mystical beast or using high-quality weapons, how is his combat ability?”
Camilla exchanged glances with Zachary, recalling the scene when Charles fought against the level seven Beast Master, Ethan, in the practical combat class.
Camilla slowly replied, “He’s very strong. I feel that David Zheng is not a match for Charles.”
“Oh? David Zheng is a warrior who survived the battlefield. Is Charles really that strong, even as a student?” Bai Rui looked at Charles several times, expressing her disbelief.
Zachary chimed in, saying, “He fought against Ethan, the level seven Beast Master, and almost defeated him. What does that say about his combat experience?”
“Ethan? The Beast Master known as the Tiger of Cyber Academy?” Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Bai Rui’s face.
She had heard of Ethan, a level seven Beast Master from Genosha, whose feats were somewhat legendary. For instance, Lin Zhuqing, the vice president of Nova Academy, was hailed as the Sword of Nova Academy!
Ethan’s title as the Tiger of Cyber Academy was even harder to come by. He had traveled all over Genosha, seeking out level seven Beast Masters to battle, and none had been able to defeat him!
Now hearing Zachary say that Charles almost won against Ethan due to his combat skills, Bai Rui thought it might be because Ethan was too careless and didn’t take the fight seriously.
However, even so, it indicated that Charles’s combat skills were quite strong. She was just unsure how he would compare to David Zheng, a seasoned warrior from the battlefield.
Grace was close enough to Bai Rui to hear their conversation, and she was extremely shocked. She had not expected Charles to be this strong, even though she hadn’t heard of Ethan’s exploits.
But she was aware of the strength of a level seven Beast Master since her own teacher was the vice president of Aredale Academy, who was also a level seven Beast Master.
“Everyone, step back and clear the area!” someone from the Robinson family shouted. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Soon, a large open space appeared before the crowd as Charles and David Zheng faced off, both choosing not to use weapons.
David Zheng spoke first, saying, “Mr. Charles, be careful. I don’t hold back in battle. If I hurt you, I hope you won’t take it personally.”
Charles could sense that David Zheng’s words were not mockery but genuine concern.
“It’s fine, go ahead and make your move. I trust in my own strength.” Charles replied in a calm tone.
Zane was becoming impatient. He wanted to end the fight quickly to claim his reward, so he spoke up, “Charles, stop pretending. If you’re scared, just admit defeat. Otherwise, you might get beaten half to death!”
Behind him, someone shouted, “Exactly! He talks about trusting his strength, but what does he have to trust in?”
“Relying on a Temporary Enhancement Potion to boost himself to a level four Beast Master. He probably lacks experience since he’s only a level three Beast Master.”
“There’s no suspense left. Now it’s just a matter of watching David Zheng and hoping he doesn’t take it too seriously. If he accidentally kills Charles, that would be a disaster.”
“There’s no doubt. I think Charles will be defeated within a minute!”
“A minute? I think it’ll be thirty seconds. In battle, there’s no time to waste. Warriors like David Zheng usually strike right at the enemy’s weak points!”
“You have a point there. Given the kind of warrior David is, it would be impressive if Charles lasts even thirty seconds.”
Camilla and Zachary frowned. For a Beast Master, the mindset before battle is crucial. If their mindset is affected, they won’t be able to unleash their full potential.
Being in the same class as Charles, they naturally leaned towards supporting him.
Zachary cleared his throat, fixing a warning gaze on the person speaking. The other person immediately fell silent, the son of a general was not someone to provoke lightly!
Once the noise died down, Camilla and Zachary looked at Charles, feeling concerned that his mindset might have already been affected.
To their surprise, they saw no signs of being affected on Charles’s face, instead, there was an expression of excitement!
Yes, excitement—the thrill of facing a strong opponent in battle!
Rose the Grand Princess of Genosha, followed the gazes of the two and noticed this as well. She instinctively said, “It seems that Charles is going to win this duel.”
“He will win? How is that possible! Your Highness, are you mistaken?” Grace, of course, did not believe it at all.
Even she had no confidence when facing David Zheng. If Charles could defeat David Zheng, did that mean he could also defeat her?
“Just watch. I have a feeling this will be an incredible duel!” Bai Rui did not elaborate. As the Grand Princess of Genosha, she had seen many true warriors.
Charles’s current state was identical to that of those strong fighters when they were in battle!
Confident and excited!
