Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"That\'s right. My Mystical Beast, the Nine-Tailed Demon Wolf, naturally possesses both ice and fire attributes, while the flying squirrel has the wind attribute. But why are you suddenly interested in this?" Charles replied, though he wasn\'t entirely truthful, concealing the fact that Mousie had a dark attribute.

Emma turned her head, her cyan eyes glinting with a strange light. "It seems my theoretical research was correct. There truly are people in this world who can harness multiple elemental powers!"

The cloud leopards sped through the forest at a breakneck pace, covering a hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye. Emma, clearly excited, began to explain her "Five Core Theories of the Beast Master" to Charles.

As Emma spoke, Charles started to grasp the concepts she was discussing.

The first law of the Beast Master Core Theories: The Principle of Energy Annihilation.

Typically, a Beast Master can only tame Mystical Beasts of the same attribute; otherwise, the different types of elemental energy within the Beast Master\'s body would create chaotic energy currents. This unstable energy could lead to mental instability or even death.

However, if a Beast Master possesses exceptionally strong soul power, they might be able to finely control and prevent this energy from becoming chaotic.

Emma\'s six Mystical Beasts were all water attribute; the Bradley they encountered earlier had three poison attribute Mystical Beasts, and Felix had two fire attribute tigers.

In comparison, Charles was indeed unusual.

Charles speculated that his soul might be stronger than most because he had lived two lives, but he was still puzzled. "Even though I can control multiple types of elemental energy, I don\'t really feel that different from other Beast Masters."

Emma had the cloud leopard slow down, then lowered her voice. "What I mentioned earlier was only the first half of the theory. If, during battle, you can control different types of energy and cause them to annihilate each other, you could potentially create an unprecedented and incredibly powerful super bomb."

After hearing Emma explain the \'First Law,\' Charles felt as if he\'d been struck by lightning, his whole body momentarily frozen in shock.

Why does this sound so much like... E=MC^2?

Isn\'t this essentially the mass-energy equivalence of the Beast Mastery world?

Charles finally understood why Max\'s skill, [Energy Bomb], which seemed unremarkable at first, could cause such massive destruction, allowing him to defeat Felix in an instant—even producing a mushroom cloud in the process!

This world may not have nuclear bombs, but that Energy Bomb is practically the equivalent here!

Emma\'s explanation suddenly made everything click into place for him.

If he could leverage this principle, like collecting pieces of a puzzle, he could ensure that each of his future Mystical Beasts has a completely different attribute: ice, fire, dark, metal, wood, earth, wind, thunder...

Wouldn\'t that mean he could create increasingly powerful "nuclear bombs"?

With such a powerful secret weapon at his disposal, even if he faced enemies far stronger than himself in the future, he would still have a chance to make a desperate stand!

Thinking about this, Charles suddenly felt like the future was bright.

His Beast Master talent might not be the strongest in this world, but his soul power, forged across two lifetimes, was unique in this world!!!

Understanding all of this, Charles looked at Emma with newfound respect. It was no wonder she was the Vice Principal of Nova Academy; to have developed such an astonishing theory was truly impressive.

"You mentioned earlier that this is one of the \'Five Core Theories of Beast Mastery.\' Could I ask what the other four theories are?" Charles asked with curiosity.

"The other four theories, huh…" Emma gracefully leaped onto the nearby grassy area, her skirt fluttering as she smiled gently. "When you pass the entrance exam and become a student under my tutelage at Nova Academy, then I\'ll tell you!"

Seriously...?

If you want to know what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode.

Charles was somewhat speechless, having piqued his curiosity, but suddenly stopped talking.

But he understood. These theories were likely considered state secrets in Genosha. The fact that Emma had shared even the first law with him was already a great privilege.

"The Imperial Capital\'s three major academies are indeed filled with hidden talents," Charles thought to himself.

Dismounting from the cloud leopard, he followed Emma to a small campsite on the grass.

There weren\'t many people—fewer than ten. When they saw Emma return, they quickly gathered around. Among them were seven students—two men and five women—and with Emma and Charles, there were nine people in total sitting around the campfire for a late-night meal.

Everyone was curious about Charles. After all, it was rather astonishing that a Level 2 Beast Master would dare venture alone into the depths of the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range for training.

Sitting by the campfire, Charles ate a little and then checked the points leaderboard.

————————————

[Ferocious Beast Mountain Range Training Points Leaderboard]

1st Place: Grace [2746 points]

2nd Place: Robert [1632 points]

3rd Place: Thomas [1321 points]

…

805th Place: Charles [214 points]

…

————————————

It had only been a day since he last checked, and that prodigy Grace was already nearing 3000 points!

"Only one month left. Starting tomorrow, I need to step up my game!" Charles silently motivated himself.

Witnessing the battle between a Level 7 Beast Master and a Level 64 opponent today had only strengthened Charles\'s resolve to grow stronger.

Whether it was to find his parents, unravel the secrets of this world, or even one day find a way back to Earth, he had to emerge victorious in this training!

Only then would he have the opportunity to venture beyond Lsengard into the vast world outside.

After checking the leaderboard, Charles sent a message to Fletcher, letting him know that he had gone to train in the Kentish Mountains and wouldn\'t be returning to the camp for a while.

As he put away his phone and was about to set up his tent, a sudden, sharp sound caught his attention, and the group around him became alarmed.

"Vice Principal, what\'s wrong? Please don\'t scare me!" a girl cried out in panic.

Charles looked toward the commotion and saw Emma with blood at the corner of her mouth, having already lost consciousness.

The seven or eight people around her, although a few years older than Charles, were still inexperienced students. Faced with this unexpected situation, they were clearly panicking.

"Move aside," Charles said, stepping forward to examine Emma\'s condition.

[Name]: Emma

[Measurements]: 88/49/77

[Beast Master Level]: Seven

[Health]:

External Injuries: 6 locations [View Treatment Options] Internal Injuries: 2 locations [View Treatment Options] Original Serpent Poison: [View Treatment Options]

Charles quickly reviewed the information. The first two were common injuries—nothing too serious, even the internal injuries were manageable given Emma\'s formidable strength as a Level 7 Beast Master. The reason she had coughed up blood was likely due to the serpent poison inflicted by Joshua.

"We encountered a very powerful Serpentkin earlier, someone stronger than Vice Principal Lin. The blood is black, which suggests she\'s been poisoned by a serpent!"

"This original serpent poison might only be treatable back in the Imperial Capital! But even from here to Lsengard, it would take the cloud leopards seven days—let alone reaching the Imperial Capital."

"Ah, what do we do? Please don\'t scare us like this!"

"Please, Vice Principal, you mustn\'t have anything happen to you..."

The students around were at a complete loss, panicking as they watched Emma\'s condition worsen. Charles gently lifted Emma off the ground and carried her to a nearby tent. "I have a way to treat her, but I need complete privacy. No one can disturb us."

"Charles, you can treat the original serpent poison?" The group looked at him with doubt etched on their faces.

As they watched Charles disappear into the tent, everyone was skeptical. But at this point, they had no other choice but to trust him, so they waited anxiously outside the tent.

Once inside, Charles pulled the tent\'s flap closed and carefully laid Emma on the bed.

An advanced Beast Master\'s body remains frozen in its prime, its most beautiful age, until death. Although Emma was truly 32 years old, her body appeared to be that of an 18-year-old.

As Charles inadvertently touched her flawless form, he felt a wave of heat rise within him, but he quickly pushed down any inappropriate thoughts.

Following the treatment plan provided by the system, Charles administered a [Hemostatic Powder] to Emma, then gave her some medicine to treat her internal injuries. The blood at the corner of her mouth stopped, but a faint black mist still surrounded her body.

The slight furrow in her brow made it clear that she was still suffering from the effects of the serpent poison. The pained expression on her face tugged at his heart.

"Treating the external injuries is the easy part. The real problem is the original serpent poison in her system," Charles sighed softly.

If he remembered correctly, Joshua was Level 64. To counteract a poison from someone of that level would be nearly impossible without equal or greater strength.

At best, Charles could only produce low-quality miracle drugs, which made him doubtful that he could fully cure Emma\'s poison. Still, he decided to check the treatment options out of hope.

"Hmm?"

As Charles glanced at the treatment plan on the screen, he suddenly froze.

[Treatment Plan]: Original Serpent Poison. Use the blood of the one who administered the poison to create an antidote; or, have someone with a purer Serpentkin ancient god bloodline prick their fingertip with a needle and gently stroke the affected area. Note: Host\'s success rate is 50%.

The treatment plan provided two methods for neutralizing the poison. The first one made sense to Charles—it was similar to the conventional methods for treating snake venom in his previous life.

But when he saw the second treatment option, Charles\'s expression gradually became a mix of surprise and confusion.
