Charles looked at Camilla with great appreciation, but he did not voice his thoughts. Instead, he continued to wait for others to add their input.
Under Charles's deliberate guidance, the final plan had begun to take shape.
The Beast Masters from Genosha had worked out a detailed division, with each team consisting of three level-four Beast Masters, followed by several level-three Beast Masters. The distance between each team was not very far, ensuring that they could provide quick support in case of an ergency.
However, a small issue arose during the team division: many Beast Masters wanted to be on the sa team as Charles and were constantly competing for the opportunity.
This left Charles feeling a bit of a headache, especially with Celestine and Jace, who were determined not to leave his side and insisted on staying with him.
Reluctantly, Charles could only agree.
The others in the teams looked up at Jace and Celestine, their gazes filled with envy.
Especially Camilla, who had been assigned to a different team. She watched Celestine next to Charles and wanted to say sothing but ended up closing her mouth, her eyes betraying a mix of unwillingness and envy.
"Alright, the teams have been divided. Everyone, be careful and don't act impulsively. If you make any discoveries, it's best to notify your nearby partners imdiately." Charles said.
He thought for a mont and reminded them, "You all need to search for the traces of the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire while also trying to absorb ice and fire energy to enhance your strength. Pay special attention to those balance zones and be cautious of sudden enemy attacks."
Everyone nodded in agreent, indicating they would follow Charles's instructions.
Then, the Beast Masters from Genosha slowly dispersed and advanced deeper into the Eye of Ice and Fire.
Outside the Eye of Ice and Fire,
in the camp of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters, Zorion watched Charles's retreating figure enter the Eye of Ice and Fire with a sense of unwillingness. He could only hope that Silas had so tricks up his sleeve that had yet to be revealed, which could turn the tide in a dire situation. Read new chapters at empire
However, he also knew the likelihood of that was very slim, especially when facing a genius as powerful as Charles, along with other Genosha Beast Masters, particularly Luna, the level-five genius girl, who had yet to enter the fray.
"I really don't know how the people of Genosha train their warriors, it's astonishing they produced a monster like Charles!" Zorion gritted his teeth and said, surprised by Charles's performance for a level-eight Beast Master like himself.
The so-called genius Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire were utterly insignificant in front of Charles. Despite being a level-four Beast Master, Charles could single-handedly lead the Genosha Beast Masters to victory, while the level-four Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire could only lie on the ground and choose to surrender!
It was a slap in the face!
"Father, I'm feeling better now. Why don't you go back and keep an eye on the Eye of Ice and Fire?" Mira spoke slowly. Her injuries were no longer worsening, but she still needed so ti to recover fully.
Zorion quickly turned his head, looking at his pale daughter with concern. He clenched his fists, feeling an increase in his hatred for Charles.
"It's alright, I'll stay with you a little longer. Silas and the others shouldn't be discovered so quickly." Zorion replied.
Mira nodded and didn't say anything more, the atmosphere fell into silence for a mont.
After a while,
Mira hesitantly asked, "Father, am I really that weak?"
Images of her battle with Charles filled her mind. Even though they were both level-four Beast Masters, Charles had easily defeated her in under thirty seconds, and she had been the one to strike first.
This made Mira, who had always been called a genius in the Stellar Empire, begin to doubt herself—was she too weak to have let this happen? Zorion was taken aback by her question.
He looked at his daughter, who had lost her confidence, and for a mont, he didn't know what to say.
"No, you're strong, it's just that Charles..." Zorion paused, sighed, and continued,
"It's just that Charles is too strong. He has far surpassed ordinary geniuses, a person like him is a rarity in a hundred years!"
After hearing this response, Mira quietly nodded. Perhaps this was the only way to ease her heart a little.
Slowly lifting her head, Mira gazed at Charles's figure in the distance and fell into deep thought.
She had never encountered anyone like Charles before, and for so reason, she now instinctively wanted to pay attention to everything happening on his side.

In the Golden Mountain Range, at a hotel in the town,
the hotel manager was glued to the screen in the livestream room, his face filled with tension and excitent. He clenched his fists and waved them in the air, shouting:
"Well done! It should be like this! I've never liked those Stellar Empire Beast Masters, they were too much!"
An employee nearby echoed, "Exactly! Thank goodness for a genius like Charles, or they'd be running rampant!"
"Just thinking about their arrogant expressions makes want to take them down. If they weren't such strong Beast Masters, I'd have already gone for it!"
"You? Go for it? If you dared to try, I would..."
The hotel manager ignored the bickering around him. Suddenly, he thought of sothing and quickly took out his phone to search for related videos online. Soon, he found the clip of Sienna apologizing from the earlier livestream.
He specifically chose a version that was pixelated and free of bloody images.
"The netizens are so quick, recording and editing videos while watching the livestream." the hotel manager remarked.
Then he took his phone and went to a room in the hotel, knocking on the door.
A little girl timidly opened the door, her big eyes staring at him as she asked, "Hello, is there sothing you need?"
The hotel manager looked down gently and said, "It's nothing much. I just have a video I want to show you. It's the video of Charles defeating those Beast Masters who bullied you."
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. Then she imdiately beca worried and said:
"Is the older brother okay? He wasn't hurt, right? Teddy is really grateful to the older brother. If he gets hurt..."
As the thought of Charles getting hurt crossed her mind, little Teddy's eyes imdiately reddened, as if she was about to cry at any mont.
The hotel manager panicked, awkwardly holding his phone in front of Teddy while playing the video, saying:
"No, Charles isn't hurt! He's really strong, those Stellar Empire Beast Masters are no match for him!"
...
anwhile,
above the Eye of Ice and Fire, Drake, Jamie, and Nathaniel, three level-eight Beast Masters, frowned as they looked at a certain spot within the Eye of Ice and Fire.
Jamie spoke first, "Silas's aura seems a bit off. Why does it feel like he's about to break through from a level-four Beast Master to a level-five Beast Master?"
The other two nodded in agreent. Their mystical beasts were spread throughout the Eye of Ice and Fire, so they were well aware of the positions of the Stellar Empire's Beast Masters.
Nathaniel slowly said, "Even if he breaks through to a level-five Beast Master, it won't change much. A level-five Beast Master isn't strong enough to pose a significant threat to Charles, unless he can beco a level-six Beast Master. But is that even possible?"
Jamie speculated, "Could it be that his trump card allows him to quickly elevate his power to that of a level-six Beast Master?"
"There's no way to raise your level that quickly. Going from a level-four Beast Master to a level-six Beast Master in a short ti is extrely difficult. Without external assistance, it's generally impossible!" Drake pondered.
The three level-eight Beast Masters found it hard to predict Silas's next move or how he was boosting his power, especially since they were too far away and could only vaguely sense his aura.
Moreover, in the world of Beast Masters, there are many magical items and miracle drugs, even so level-nine Beast Masters can't confidently claim to know them all.
The entire Ethereal Grove is simply too vast, and even the Abyssal Depths is imnsely large!
However, the three of them had ford a general judgnt in their minds: Silas wasn't that simple and might still cause trouble for Charles and the others.
"That's fine, let's not interfere. After all, surprises are sothing that will always be present on the battlefield." Jamie said slowly, and the other two nodded in agreent.
Jamie sighed, "If Silas really has so incredible trump card, that would actually be a good thing. After all, if Charles successfully deals with him, his reputation will soar even higher!"
"At that point, everyone in Genosha will see Charles as an unprecedented young hero!"
Nathaniel glanced at Jamie and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Charles might fail?"
Jamie shook his head and answered firmly, "No way. The stuff that kid has will make you envious—orange-quality weapons and gear, plus various miracle drugs. Even a level-six Beast Master would find it hard to take him down when he's fully committed!"
Nathaniel looked at Charles on the ground with surprise. He knew so of Charles's trump cards but hadn't realized there were so many. The gap between a level-four Beast Master and a level-six Beast Master is significant.
The difference in level between Beast Masters grows larger as the levels increase, especially between level-eight and level-nine Beast Masters, it's like the difference between heaven and earth!
In Jamie's eyes, Silas was like a whetstone, ant to sharpen Charles into a finely honed blade.
Moreover, Silas becoming stronger and putting pressure on Charles is actually a good thing. After all, without a worthy opponent, Charles's growth would slow considerably.
The three level-eight Beast Masters followed the Genosha team as they gradually flew deeper into the Eye of Ice and Fire.
