Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Hearing Charles say that, everyone present fell silent.

Quinn was a master-level alchemist from the Haunted Marsh Chemist Headquarters, and Seven was his apprentice, a talented alchemist in his own right.

At just eighteen years old, Seven was on the verge of becoming a master-level alchemist and was already someone many alchemists looked up to.

However, the person making this statement was Charles, he truly had the qualifications and strength to back it up.

If someone else had said this, Jamie and Nathaniel would have long since scolded them for being arrogant and not knowing their place.

However, at this moment, when Charles made such a statement, Jamie spoke up and said,

"Good! Young people should have this kind of attitude. What does it matter if they're a master-level alchemist or a genius from the Haunted Marsh? It's simply not worth mentioning!"

Nathaniel chimed in, "Yeah, young people should be passionate and daring enough to take on challenges."

The two exchanged knowing glances and nodded in agreement.

They had previously thought that Charles was too calm and steady, lacking any sign of arrogance.

At first glance, he didn't seem like a top genius from Genosha at all.

He had no sharpness about him, resembling a longsword sheathed rather than drawn.

Charles looked at Jamie and Nathaniel with a puzzled expression but didn't explain anything.

He truly didn't care about the alchemist duel with Seven.

In the past few days of practice, he had already used up all the alchemy materials Owen had sent him.

When it came to refining the Spirit Ice Liquid, Charles was completely confident.

Perhaps forty units of alchemy materials might not be enough for other alchemists to fully master a miracle drug formula. But for Charles, it was already more than enough.

Thinking of this, Charles glanced at the neatly arranged twenty bottles of Spirit Ice Liquid in his storage space and smiled with satisfaction.

Who would have thought that he had completely mastered the refinement of Spirit Ice Liquid using only twenty units of alchemy materials?

The extra Spirit Ice Liquid could be sold at the auction, and the gold coins earned would be enough to cover the cost of those forty units of alchemy materials.

"By the way, Charles, I have some alchemy materials here. Do you want to practice a bit more to ensure nothing unexpected happens tomorrow?" Colton suddenly spoke up.

Since Charles became a master-level alchemist, Colton had stopped asking him too many questions.

He felt that as a master-level alchemist himself, he was somewhat inadequate in front of Charles.

Charles had always claimed he was confident he could defeat Seven, but Colton had thought all along that Charles was just trying to comfort him.

It wasn't until he witnessed Charles successfully refine a blue-quality miracle drug that Colton finally believed him.

It seemed a bit strange that a teacher wouldn't know the level of his own student.

But this was Charles, a monster that even Colton, as a master-level alchemist, couldn't accurately assess!

Charles shook his head and slowly said, "No need for that, Colton. I've already used up the forty units of alchemy materials that President Owen gave me, and I've completely mastered the refinement of Spirit Ice Liquid. I even used a few Ice Spirit Flowers, and they all turned out successfully."

"Forty units? You completely mastered a blue-quality miracle drug formula with just forty units?" Colton's eyes widened in shock.

He never expected it would be so few.

"Owen only gave you forty units of alchemy materials?" Colton complained.

Charles quickly clarified, saying, "No, it's not like that. President Owen wanted to continue providing me with alchemy materials the next day, but I turned him down."

"Oh, I see...." Colton said, suddenly looking up.

His eyes widened as he stared at Charles in disbelief, asking: "The next day? What do you mean by that?"

"By that time, I had already nearly mastered the refinement of Spirit Ice Liquid, and I still had some materials left. It would have been a waste if President Owen kept sending me more alchemy materials." Charles replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, even Jamie and Nathaniel, who were not alchemists, looked at Charles in disbelief.

As level eight Beast Masters, they had some understanding of alchemy. Blue-quality miracle drugs refined by level eight alchemists were the most commonly circulated in the market.

Purple-quality miracle drugs were already considered high-end and rare commodities.

Orange-quality miracle drugs, on the other hand, were something that would be fiercely fought over as soon as they appeared. Only those who had good relationships with master-level alchemists would be able to obtain orange-quality miracle drugs.

Unexpectedly, Charles had just said that he mastered the refinement of a blue-quality miracle drug in just one day?

And he hadn't even used up all forty units of alchemy materials, leaving some leftover?

Colton's mouth twitched continuously. He had some understanding of Charles's talent, but he never imagined it would be at such a monstrous level!

"I won't ask him how many units of alchemy materials he actually used. When I became a master-level alchemist, I used about fifty units to master a blue-quality miracle drug formula." Colton thought to himself.

That achievement had already placed him among the top genius alchemists at that time.

However, Colton now had no desire to ask Charles how many units of alchemy materials he actually used, he was afraid that Charles's answer would discourage him.

But Jamie didn't think too much about it and directly asked:

"Charles, how many units of alchemy materials did you actually use? I'm really curious."

Colton smiled helplessly and then moved his ears, taking a deep breath to prepare himself.

Given Charles's monstrous talent, he figured thirty units would be about right.

"Twenty units." Charles replied after thinking seriously. The last few units of alchemy materials did produce Spirit Ice Liquid, but it wasn't perfect, so I wouldn't count it as completely mastered."

In the next moment,

the sound of a chair breaking echoed as Colton couldn't take it anymore. His breathing became rapid, and he asked again,

"Twenty? Just twenty units?"

Charles nodded, looking a bit puzzled at Colton, and replied:

"Professor, is that too many? At first, I didn't realize there was an issue with the alchemy equipment, so I wasted a few units. If everything had been prepared properly, I could have used even less."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He assumed that Colton was implying that he had used too many.

However, after hearing Charles's words, Colton seemed to turn into a statue, completely motionless.

There was not a trace of expression on his face, but his thoughts were already tumultuous like raging waves.

Twenty units weren't even the total?

He could even master a blue-quality miracle drug formula without using twenty units?

Is that something a human can do?

Then what about his own experience of using fifty units to master the refinement of a blue-quality miracle drug? Was that a waste of resources?

Other alchemists, upon becoming master-level alchemists, would typically use at least a hundred units of alchemy materials to fully master a blue-quality miracle drug formula and ensure a high success rate.

Compared to Charles, those people were practically wasting resources crazily.

At that moment, Colton felt like a puppet. His tone was very calm as he slowly said:

"That's fine, just be careful next time. Make sure to check all the alchemy equipment before you start the refinement."

Charles nodded. He was about to say something when Colton suddenly stood up and said slowly,

"Alright, things are about done. Just wait for Quinn and Seven's failure tomorrow. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Colton left with a blank expression.

Jamie, Nathaniel, and Charles exchanged glances, feeling a bit puzzled.

It seemed like something was off, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.

"At the beginning, the teacher's expression was different from how he looked when he left." Charles thought to himself.

At that moment, Jamie suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.

At Cyber Academy, in the bamboo forest,

Colton still wore his emotionless expression as he excitedly said to the grave in front of him,

"Lyra, do you know? That kid Charles's talent is simply terrifying!"

"When I heard he used so few alchemy materials to completely master a miracle drug formula, my face went numb with shock, and I still haven't recovered!"

"Do you know what this means? A legendary-level alchemist! This is the lifelong pursuit of all master-level alchemists!"

"It's terrifying, so terrifying that I even doubt whether I can continue teaching Charles."

"Perhaps the only ones qualified to be his alchemist teachers are the three legendary alchemists of the Ethereal Grove!"

"Only they have the right to teach Charles."

Colton kept talking to the grave of his wife in front of him. His emotions were quite complex, on one hand, he was shocked by Charles's alchemical talent, and on the other, he was worried about whether he could adequately teach such a genius.

Master-level alchemists were already the dream teachers of countless young alchemists. Yet in front of Charles, even master-level alchemists began to doubt their qualifications to teach him.

Time passed little by little, and Colton remained in the bamboo forest for a very long time.

Even when the muscles on his face still hadn't relaxed, he maintained his expressionless demeanor.

"Should I go to the hospital? No, this might be better. Maybe next time Charles shocks me again, I could at least look a bit calmer!" Colton thought to himself.

The impact Charles had on him was simply too great, and the blow was equally significant!

Which master-level alchemist isn't a genius?

Yet even geniuses can be completely crushed in the face of Charles's talent!

"Forget it, maybe I'll get used to it in the future. I'll continue to teach this kid Charles for now. When I have the time, I need to make a trip to the Haunted Marsh and see if I can meet those legendary alchemists." Colton thought to himself.
