Chapter 285 No Need for Rest
As someone who had fought against Charles, Icy was well aware of his strength.
A life-and-death battle could reveal many things, including a person's true habits, thoughts, and character.
Although he lost to Charles, Icy still believed that Charles was a true genius!
Icy's attitude was to make contact with Charles as soon as possible, lest such a talent be poached by other forces.
At that moment.
Cecilia turned around and looked at the octagonal cage below, suddenly saying, "He's here!"
Charles's figure appeared!
Golden and Icy quickly moved forward, watching as Charles prepared to enter the octagonal cage.
Beside the octagonal cage,
Celestine looked at Camilla with a hint of hostility. At that moment, Camilla was wearing a black off-the-shoulder evening gown, her swan-like neck held high, and her white shoulders stood out under the lights.
However, not many people dared to let their gaze linger on her, because sitting next to Camilla was a two-meter tall Level 7 Beast Master!
The aura emitted by a high-level Beast Master was enough to make the underground audience keep their distance, especially the seats near Camilla, all of which were empty.
This was because the royal family had bought up all those seats!
"Celestine elder sister, is Charles going to battle? This is my first time in a place like this. I used to watch from the live stream, but being here in person feels so different." Camilla said excitedly, like a lively lark.
She was curiously looking around, tightly clutching a ticket that was her proof of betting on Charles's victory.
"Yes, the battle is about to begin." Celestine whispered in response.
Her mind was racing with thoughts, imagining that as the second princess of Genosha, Camilla was actually here in the underground world to watch Charles fight.
Remembering that Charles and Camilla seemed to have interacted before.
Could it be that Princess Camilla has feelings for Charles?
Celestine's thoughts were becoming more and more numerous, and her head was getting more chaotic. What if the second princess, in her admiration for Charles, decided to compete with her?
Thinking of this, Celestine turned to look at Camilla, carefully observing her delicate features and elegantly poised figure.
She felt a bit insecure.
Loving someone makes you sensitive, suspicious, and anxious about potential losses.
As if sensing Celestine's gaze, Camilla asked curiously, "What's wrong, Celestine elder sister? Is there something on my face?"
Celestine quickly shook her head, indicating that there was nothing.
At that moment, the signal for the battle to begin drew both of their gazes to the octagonal cage.
Charles stood expressionless in place, watching his opponent's nervous demeanor. He didn't want to waste any more time and chose to strike first!
In the next instant, the floor beneath Charles erupted with debris as his figure appeared in front of the ace Level 4 Beast Master in the blink of an eye.
"So fast! Even faster than before!" Seeing the rapidly approaching fist, the ace Level 4 Beast Master from the underground world quickly raised his arms to block the punch.
However, the next moment, his body flew backward like a rag doll!
The entire arena was in shock!
"What? Just a simple punch, and it has such great power!"
"Charles hasn't even used combat techniques yet, how can he be this strong?"
"Has it only been a day? Did Charles become stronger again? No way, is this ace Level 4 Beast Master too weak?"
"No, it's that Charles is too strong, his power has increased again!"
"If that's true, that's too monstrous, it's only been a day!"
In the underground office.
Icy's mouth dropped open. He couldn't believe the scene before him. If Charles had used [Divine Domain], he could understand it.
But Charles didn't use any combat techniques at all!
That punch just now was purely physical strength and offensive skill, Charles's power had definitely increased significantly!
"Could it be because of the trial of the heart? But isn't that an illusion?" Icy said instinctively.
Cecilia watched Charles in the octagonal cage with great interest, particularly noting how his aura had become more stable and powerful.
Experience and skills in battle cannot be significantly improved in a short time, it's a process that requires continuous learning, practice, and accumulation.
Recalling the information that stated Charles had been spending time in the training room and library during the trial of the heart,
It seemed that he must have gained improvements there!
"Could that guy Lucas really be willing to expend his life force?" Cecilia fell into deep thought, still unable to believe it.
A Level 9 Beast Master, and one with a limited lifespan at that, would he really spend his life force on a Level 4 Beast Master like Charles?
Thinking back to the final scene of Charles's trial of the heart, where he used the method of amplifying bodily pain to escape the influence of [forbidden favor].
Cecilia's subconscious kept telling her that it couldn't be real, Charles couldn't possibly achieve that level in the illusion created by Lucas's life force!
But looking at Charles's current progress and improvement, especially the aura he radiated.
Cecilia found herself hesitating. If everything was true, then Charles was truly a monster!
She had lived for thirty years—no, sixteen years—and had never seen such a genius!
At that moment.
In the octagonal cage, Charles's battle had come to an end.
After emerging from the trial of the heart, Charles realized that his strength had indeed increased significantly, including his combat techniques, which were now more powerful than before.
During the fight, he could unleash his physical strength to an extraordinary level!
This was something he had learned through continuous training in the environment of the trial of the heart!
As he watched the ace Level 4 Beast Master from the underground world fall to the ground, the bald host immediately announced the battle results.
"The winner is Charles!"
In the face of the audience's cheers, Charles remained expressionless and calm.
He thought carefully and realized that the subsequent battles would require him to return to the underground world every night, which felt somewhat like a waste of time.
The previous fight hadn't consumed much of his stamina, it had been quite simple to resolve.
In that case, it would be better to...
As Charles thought of this, he directly shouted, "Can the next battle start right now? I'm feeling great and don't need a break!"
Upon hearing this, the entire underground world fell silent in an instant.
The spectators in the audience looked at each other, their eyes revealing expressions of disbelief!
Some people rubbed their ears in shock and said:
"Did I just imagine that? Did Charles just say he wants to fight continuously? This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
"Even though Charles won the previous battle, he must have expended quite a bit of energy, right? Can he really handle the next one right after?"
"He can definitely do it! After all, he's Charles! How much stamina could he possibly have lost in that fight?"
Listening to the surrounding audience's discussions and looking at Charles, who was still quietly standing in the octagonal cage, the bald man immediately inquired for opinions from above.
In the office.
Golden listened to the inquiries coming through his earpiece. He looked up at Cecilia, who was standing by the window, and asked:
"Sir, Charles wants to fight continuously. What do you think?"
"Then just agree to him, but with one condition." Cecilia replied.
Golden quickly asked, "What condition?"
Cecilia thought for a moment and said, "Charles should have two more battles left, so let those two ace Level 4 Beast Masters fight him together."
Golden was a bit surprised by this response.
Two ace Level 4 Beast Masters at once? Wouldn't that be a bit extreme?
Charles's strength should be enough to take down two ace Level 4 Beast Masters, but he was concerned about whether the audience would accept it.
However, Golden quickly realized.
Now that Charles was facing one ace Level 4 Beast Master, there was no suspense, having two ace Level 4 Beast Masters would better excite the audience!
Soon, the bald man who received the command immediately took the microphone and asked:
"Charles, if you want to fight continuously, that's fine, but in the next battle, you will face two ace Level 4 Beast Masters!"
"If you win, you will successfully complete the Reaper's Scythe challenge!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience instantly boiled with excitement. Between Charles and the ace Level 4 Beast Master, it was certain that Charles would come out on top.
But they thought that facing two ace Level 4 Beast Masters would be a different story altogether.
Spectators were continuously analyzing and discussing who would win between Charles and the two ace Level 4 Beast Masters.
However, the true strong ones were no longer concerned about the outcome, they knew Charles would win.
"No problem, I accept!" Charles replied calmly.
Camilla gazed at Charles in the octagonal cage with admiration and unconsciously whispered, "So handsome, so charming!"
Celestine's ears perked up suddenly, and she turned her head sharply, asking, "Did you just say something?"
"Ah! No, I was just expressing a sentiment. Celestine, who do you think will win?" Camilla asked in a fluster.
"Of course it's Charles! He hasn't lost yet." Celestine confidently answered.
She knew Charles would definitely win, and Camilla nodded in agreement.
Under everyone's watchful eyes,
Two more ace Level 4 Beast Masters entered the octagonal cage.
"Charles, you're strong, but you're also quite arrogant to actually agree." one of the ace Beast Masters said, clenching his fists in annoyance.
The other person didn't speak, but there was a hint of anger in his gaze, he felt slighted.
Charles helplessly spread his hands and slowly replied:
"I would prefer to fight one at a time, but since you guys from the underground world made this suggestion, I had no choice but to agree."
