Charles felt the howling wind rushing past him, and he instinctively activated Moon Riding Wind.
The once roaring winds suddenly became docile in Charles’s perception, as if with just a thought, they would carry him to wherever he wished to go.
The entire arena of the duel felt like Charles’s domain, he had the illusion that in an instant, he could appear right behind Uda and plunge the black gold long knife into his heart.
“Kid, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you experience unspeakable pain before you die!” Uda continued to taunt.
However, Charles had quietly adjusted the weight of the Overlord Heavy Armor, increasing it slightly because he was worried that if he moved too quickly, the battle would end too soon.
That way, he wouldn’t be able to gauge his true strength.
Before Uda could continue speaking, Charles slowly drew the black gold long knife in an arc,
the sharp tip aimed at Uda’s neck, and a strong battle intent surged within Charles!
“Damn, this kid seems a bit extraordinary, but it shouldn’t be a big problem, he only has three mystical beasts and is just a Level Three Beast Master!” Uda reassured himself.
He felt somewhat intimidated by Charles’s aura, but as a warrior of the tribe, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
In the next moment,
the floor beneath Uda cracked, and his figure shot toward Charles like a bullet.
“Wow, he’s so fast!” someone in the crowd exclaimed, surprised by Uda’s incredible speed.
In just one movement, he had shattered the ground like a spider’s web.
Many began to worry for Charles, as they thought that if they faced Uda, they would definitely not have time to react!
However, Charles was not like these onlookers.
His face remained calm as Uda closed in, swinging his claws.
In an instant, Charles moved one meter to the left, effortlessly dodging Uda’s attack.
“What! He actually reacted to that.” Uda was astonished, his current speed was beyond what an ordinary Level Four Beast Master could respond to.
Let alone Charles, whom he viewed as merely a Level Three Beast Master with only three mystical beasts.
Uda wasn’t the only one shocked, due to equipment limitations, the audience in the livestream couldn’t clearly see Charles’s movements!
“Damn, how did he do that? Charles’s speed is no less than this Serpent’s!”
“Exactly, he just reached Level Four Beast Master, and he’s already this impressive!”
“This is just the beginning, let’s keep watching.”
The crowd shook off their astonishment and focused intently on the duel, afraid of missing even a single moment.
Uda, undeterred by his failed strike, knew that he hadn’t yet unleashed his full power, he still had skills left to use!
Wind-Slicing Serpent: A special skill of the Serpent People that reduces external resistance in a wind-blown desert, allowing them to increase their speed.
Although it wasn’t in the desert, the streets were currently howling with strong winds. With the enhancement of the Wind-Slicing Serpent skill,
Uda’s speed wouldn’t be affected even in such conditions, in fact, he would be even faster than in normal circumstances!
In his eyes, Charles, being human, would be somewhat affected by the strong wind, thus reducing his speed.

After using Wind-Slicing Serpent, Uda’s speed increased once more as he launched another attack.
This time, he was full of confidence, believing that Charles wouldn’t be able to dodge this strike given his previous speed!
Lance watched the scene in the duel arena, his heart tightening. As a Level Seven Beast Master, his battle experience and keen eyesight were far superior to those of the onlookers.
The instant Uda made his move, he noticed that Uda’s speed had increased again.
Concerned for Charles’s safety, Lance was about to intervene and stop the duel when he saw a smile tugging at Charles’s lips, a look of disdain in his eyes,
as if he were saying, “Is that all you’ve got?”
Sure enough, against Uda’s faster attack, Charles effortlessly dodged once more!
“Boom!”
The street floor shattered under Uda’s strike, countless fragments flying into the air.
Charles maintained his smile and softly said, “Now it’s my turn. Let me show you what true speed looks like!”
Seeing the smile on Charles’s face, a sense of foreboding crept into Uda’s heart.
In the next moment,
Charles twisted his body, and the black gold long knife in his hand traced a graceful arc, sweeping aside the falling floor fragments.
Then, his entire body suddenly accelerated, moving faster than Uda’s previous attack!
The difference was that the ground beneath Charles’s feet showed no change at all, it was as if he were a gust of wind, with only speed and no weight!
“What!” Uda couldn’t react at all in that moment.
He wanted to dodge the long knife in Charles’s hand as much as possible, but he couldn’t do anything, only feeling the sharp tip slice through his scales.
A chill pierced through him, followed by a warm sensation at the wound, and finally, a scorching pain!
Blood gushed from the wound on his arm, barely having time to hit the ground,
when Charles’s next attack came again!
Uda gritted his teeth, feeling that if this continued, only death awaited him!
He still had a trump card left to use: poison!
Most people think that the Serpent People’s toxins are delivered through their fangs, but Uda was different. He possessed a unique skill that allowed him to spread deadly poison without direct contact!
Toxic Fangs Ejection: By compressing and exploding his venomous fangs, he could spray all the venom from his glands forward, creating a toxic area.
This skill could only be used in life-and-death crises, each use would shatter the fangs, expelling all the venom, and recovery would take two to three months.
In the current situation, only Toxic Fangs Ejection could give him a chance to turn the tide. Once Charles was infected with the toxin, he would just have to wait for it to take effect to win the duel!
As Charles drew closer, the light in Uda’s eyes grew brighter. When he felt the distance was just right, Uda did not hesitate to unleash Toxic Fangs Ejection!
In an instant, countless streams of green venom erupted from his massive serpent mouth, covering the area in front of him.
“You’re dead! Damn human brat, how dare you injure me!” Uda’s vision was obscured by the venom, making it hard to see, but listening to the gasps around him,
Uda could tell that his toxin had likely hit Charles!
However, that thought was quickly shattered by reality when he heard the crowd murmuring:

“Damn it!”
“Unbelievable, he dodged that? Didn’t Charles just hold back his full speed?”
“Don’t ask me! I blinked, and Charles just vanished!”
“I swear, I didn’t blink, and I still couldn’t see how he dodged that attack. If it were me, I’d be dead by now!”
“If it were me, I’d have died ten times already!”
“I’ve died 911 times!”
He dodged? He disappeared?
Uda’s first reaction was disbelief. He couldn’t believe that Charles could evade such a sudden attack.
When he used Toxic Fangs Ejection, he had already calculated the distance between them, there was no way to dodge!
While Uda was still contemplating, a voice came from behind him,
“I won’t regret killing you!”
Uda’s scales trembled. He wanted to run, to get away from Charles,
but he couldn’t move at all!
The sharp tip of the knife pierced through his heart from behind, penetrating his entire chest, appearing right before his eyes.
Watching the blood slide down the blade, Uda’s eyes filled with unwillingness and regret. At the moment of death, he finally began to regret challenging Charles, but it was too late!
Charles expressionlessly withdrew the long knife, stepping back at the same time.
From Uda’s wound, blood gushed out in torrents like a fountain, quickly staining the ground red.
Accompanied by a thunderous crash as he fell,
only Charles remained standing calmly in the arena, wiping the blood from the black gold long knife before sheathing it back into the jet ring.
The entire street was silent, not a sound to be heard. Even Lance had his mouth agape, staring at Charles in disbelief.
Charles’s speed had genuinely shocked him, having just become a Level Four Beast Master, he displayed such incredible speed.
Once Charles successfully contracted his fourth mystical beast, defeating a Level Five Beast Master would be no challenge at all!
In the crowd on the street, many were rubbing their eyes, as if they couldn’t believe what had just happened.
Among them were several Beast Masters who lacked sufficient rank, unable to see how Charles evaded the Serpent’s toxic attack and maneuvered behind it!
There were also higher-ranked Beast Masters who offered some explanations:
“I really admire Charles’s courage. That Serpent’s toxic attack covered the area in front of him, but there was no poison within about half a meter in front of Charles!”
“Charles utilized his speed to close in on the Serpent before the toxin could settle. At that moment, he could strike down the Serpent!”
“So he intentionally let the opponent feel hopeful before shattering their illusions and delivering the final blow!”
After some explanations and watching the live replay, many people finally understood. They marveled:
“Simply killing the enemy isn’t enough, you have to break all their illusions before they die. Charles is incredible!”
“Exactly, that move is called killing the heart!”
“That Serpent had it coming. He talked about making Charles regret it and suffer, it’s truly laughable!”
“A mere Serpent, a former underling of Genosha, dares to act so arrogantly?”
Blackrock heard the discussions about the Serpent People but didn’t react. He simply focused his gaze on Charles.
