Lucas struggled to suppress the shock within him and explained, "The outco of your struggle against the forbidden seed inside you will remain unknown to the outside world. I have already told them that the trial is over and that you failed."
"The forbidden seed? Is that the unknown life force inside ?" Charles asked.
Lucas nodded and replied, "Everything that has happened here, you should not ntion it lightly once you return to reality, or it may attract their attention."
"That bottle of black miracle drug is called forbidden favor, as soon as you drink it, you can beco a Level Nine Beast Master, or even stronger!"
"However, the cost is also quite terrifying. I can't tell you more information. You must rember one thing: you must never lose yourself, or you will only beco a powerful shell."
"A shell?" Charles wanted to ask more.
But Lucas shifted the topic and said, "In a mont, I will give you sothing. If you get the chance, head to the Haunted Marsh's Suspended Mountain. There are people there who should be able to help you uncover the secrets within you."
Charles nodded, he understood that Lucas was referring to the incident of absorbing the light attribute energy earlier.
"Also, you must take good care of your dark attribute mystical beast. Once it reaches Level Fifty, take it to the Beast Sect. You will understand everything then."
"The Beast Sect? I've never heard of it," Charles said, confused.
Lucas didn't elaborate further, simply ntioning the Haunted Marsh, so Charles would eventually learn about it.
Taking advantage of the opportunity in this illusion, where no one else could disturb them, Charles wanted to ask about so secret topics, like the Constellation organization and the unknown life force within him.
Unfortunately, Lucas's responses were quite limited. He briefly ntioned the Constellation organization.
This mysterious organization has a special thod to identify dark attribute Beast Masters, and only a very few Beast Masters can stick to their principles and not be deceived by the Constellation.
The vast majority of dark attribute Beast Masters have beco the organization's pawns, which is why Lucas harbors a deep disdain for them.
In his view, the so-called dark attribute Beast Masters would eventually beco mbers of the Constellation organization, so it would be better to eliminate them while they are still weak.
The two talked a little more, and when Lucas's figure disappeared from the illusion,
a black hole suddenly appeared before Charles, sucking everything around it in, including the half-dead Charles.
When he opened his eyes again,
Charles found himself back in the real world. He instinctively stretched out his arms and clenched his fists tightly, as if he couldn't quite believe he had co out of the illusion.
He carefully observed everything around him, trying to find anything unreasonable or out of place, but there was nothing!
Charles finally let out a genuine sigh of relief.
The talented individuals present looked at Charles with eyes filled with admiration, envy, and a hint of fear.
Finn swallowed hard, Charles's final move had shocked him.
He never imagined that the usually expressionless and exceptionally gentle Charles could be so reckless!
Finn had no doubt that if he faced that kind of situation, Charles would definitely act just as he did in the illusion!
It was a sha, though, that in the end, he didn't succeed, he had failed the trial of the heart.
"Sigh, if it were , after losing all hope, I would definitely collapse. For Charles to achieve this level is simply superhuman! If he still can't pass, what kind of person can succeed in the trial of the heart?" Finn thought.
All eyes in the room were on Charles, filled with regret and sympathy.
Now, Charles's fate was in Lucas's hands. If Lucas felt that Charles might fall into darkness in the future and wanted to eliminate the potential threat, no one could stop him!
"Kill Charles! Kill him! He has failed!" Zane's face was agitated, he was screaming madly in his heart.
Benson, on the other hand, had an expressionless face, but his fists were tightly clenched, revealing his emotions at this mont. He wanted Charles dead!
However,
Lucas retracted the Light Staff Star Pseud and slowly walked toward Charles.
Under the serious gazes of Jamie, Hale, and others, he patted Charles on the shoulder and said appreciatively, "Charles, even though you failed, you perford quite well. Here, this is your reward."
Lucas pulled out a token from his pocket and handed it over.
Charles glanced at it and imdiately received an information prompt:
[Suspended Mountain Token [orange-quality]: A special token from the Suspended Mountain of the Haunted Marsh. The materials used for forging are very ordinary, but it has been infused with light attribute energy by a powerful Beast Master, giving it special effects.
Effect: Light enhancent, any light attribute skills will receive a certain boost, dealing more severe damage to dark attribute mystical beasts and Beast Masters.]
Charles was a bit surprised, this should be what Lucas ntioned in the illusion.
Suspended Mountain?
A mountain suspended in mid-air?
It was yet another place Charles had never heard of, and along with the earlier ntion of the Beast Sect, more and more secrets of the Beast Master world began to unfold before Charles.
He placed the Suspended Mountain Token into his jet ring, he wouldn't be using it for now. Currently, none of the mystical beasts he had contracted possessed light attributes, and he didn't know any light attribute skills.
Upon hearing Lucas's words, Jamie and Hale exchanged glances, both letting out a sigh of relief. This outco was unimaginable for them!
Charles not only ca through unscathed but was also praised by the Level Nine Beast Master Lucas, who even gifted him a token!
Who is Lucas, anyway?
A Level Nine Beast Master, a Light Knight, an elegant madman, a powerful figure who harbors disdain for dark attribute Beast Masters!
For soone like him to praise Charles, who possesses dark attribute energy, was simply astonishing!
"What? What?" Zane felt as if struck by lightning, his entire body jolting, he nearly fell to the ground. Thankfully, Benson noticed in ti and caught him.
Even so, it drew a lot of attention from others. Faced with the confused gazes of those around him,
Zane kept his head down, not daring to let anyone see the disappointnt and resentnt in his eyes.
How could Charles be completely fine?
Every ti he encountered danger, Charles managed to turn the situation around and even gained sothing from it.
Although Zane didn't know what function the token Lucas gave to Charles had, anything produced by a Level Nine Beast Master surely wouldn't be worthless!
At the very least, it must be sothing of purple quality!
"Damn it! Damn it! Why can't Charles just die already? Why doesn't a teor fall from the sky and crush him?" Zane cursed madly in his heart.
He felt uncomfortable all over, whenever Charles benefited and gained power, Zane felt as if he were falling ill.
"Stand straight, we'll talk about this at ho!" Benson's deep voice rang out.
Zane took a deep breath, trying to straighten his body, and replied, "Yes, Father."
At that mont, Lucas pointed to Hale beside him and said slowly, "I will fulfill my promise. I will help lift the curse on him, but I need to rest for a day first."
"And I will also need so assistance then, I'll discuss the details with your dean."
Charles nodded, he understood that Lucas was likely too drained from earlier to lift Hale's curse imdiately.
Only by truly facing Hale's situation could Charles deeply appreciate what he was going through.
From being hailed as a genius of the Wind to being cursed and stuck at the Level Six Beast Master level,
the gap in between could drive soone to despair!
At the sa ti, Charles was curious about where such a curse originated.
Suppressing his questions, Charles stepped behind Dean Jamie.
"Impressive! We all saw your performance in the illusion, no one could have done better than you, Charles," Jamie said, giving him a thumbs up.
Nearby, Emperor Miles of Genosha added, "Charles, you should spend more ti with Camilla when you can, so she understands what a true strong person is."
Once those words were spoken, everyone present understood that Emperor Miles was formally trying to win Charles over, even using his daughter as bait to attract him.
He was really going all out!
Charles didn't want to refuse, he scratched his head and replied, "Your Majesty, I will."
Then there was Hale standing nearby, trembling all over. The curse that had restricted him for so many years was finally about to be lifted, all because of Charles!
At first, Dean Jamie had brought him to ask Lucas to lift the curse, but Lucas hadn't even wanted to acknowledge them.
"Thank you!" Hale said very earnestly.
He had never imagined that the person who would ultimately help him lift the curse would be Charles!
Charles waved his hand and replied, "Hale, you don't need to thank , I can't lift the curse on you. That thing is just too terrifying."
"By the way, Hale, how did you end up with such a powerful curse?" Charles asked curiously.
Hale thought for a mont and answered, "That's all in the past, sigh…"
Seeing Hale lost in mories and sighing repeatedly, Charles didn't press further.
At this royal banquet, besides Zane and Benson, there were two others with extrely complicated feelings:
the head of the Robinson family, Lance, and his brother, Shane.
"Eldest brother, Hale's talent is coming back, do you think we should let him rejoin the Robinson family?" Shane said cautiously.
Lance let out a sigh and replied, "We were the ones who drove him away, how can we do that now?"
"So what? Hale will definitely beco a Level Eight Beast Master, and even a Level Nine Beast Master is not impossible. At that point, the strength of the Robinson family will be unimaginable!" Shane said once again.
Faced with the future of the Robinson family, Lance found it hard to make a decision. He finally responded, "Charles is the key. If he helps us, it will be much easier for Hale."
