BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275 Lucas's Shock
This golden quality staff had a tag labeled "Pseudo." clearly indicating that it was not the true Light Staff!
Even so, it was still a significant distance from the genuine Light Staff, yet its quality was still golden.
Could it be that the true Light Staff has a quality that surpasses gold?
What could possibly be above golden quality?
Charles wasn\'t clear on everything, he only knew that the quality of weapons and equipment was divided into: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and gold.
In all of Genosha, there were only a few pieces of orange-quality equipment, and as for golden quality, he had never even heard of it, let alone anything above that.
Besides that,
this Pseudo Light Staff also came with three effects, each one immensely powerful.
The first effect was clearly able to help Teacher Hale remove the curse on him, the second was an auxiliary combat effect, especially useful against dark attribute Beast Masters.
As for the third effect, it was likely what Lucas had just mentioned—the Trial of the Heart.
Charles\'s mind raced as he processed the information displayed before him, and combined with Lucas\'s earlier words,
he could already guess what the other party was thinking.
It was simply a matter of concern, they believed that if he stayed in Genosha Calivia, he might waver and be influenced by other things due to a lack of resolve.
That was why Lucas had suggested he stay by his side to learn.
With this thought, Charles took a deep breath, he was now very clear that whether he could successfully resolve this crisis depended on the upcoming Trial of the Heart.
What if he fails? That powerful lunatic Lucas might directly take action against him, choosing to eliminate the danger at its roots.
"That\'s not fair at all! I haven\'t done anything, yet because of potential future outcomes, you\'re going to take action against me?" Charles thought to himself.
It seemed that the world of Beast Masters was more realistic and crueler than he had imagined.
Power!
Only with great power can one prevent others from looking down on them.
No, it wasn\'t about being looked down upon, it was about being taken too seriously.
If he were an ordinary genius, Lucas might have chosen to ignore him.
Sometimes, having overwhelming talent isn\'t a good thing, and now Charles finally understood that saying.
"Dean, do you know what the Trial of the Heart is?" Hale asked, frowning slightly.
Jamie nodded and replied, "I know a little. Ezra mentioned it before, it seems particularly difficult, and ordinary people can\'t succeed at all. This trial has nothing to do with talent, it only tests the strength of one\'s heart."
The others present began to discuss as well.
Many were unclear about this so-called Trial of the Heart, but fortunately, a few individuals had some relevant information to share.
One person explained, "The Trial of the Heart uses real illusions to manifest a person\'s true thoughts and principles. For a young man like Charles, it should be quite difficult to pass."
"After all, he\'s only eighteen. What kind of strong will can an eighteen-year-old possess? Without having experienced temptation, it\'s easy to fall into it and become unable to extricate oneself."
Once this was said, many in attendance nodded in agreement.
Charles\'s genius performance led many to subconsciously overlook the fact that, at the end of the day, he was just an eighteen-year-old boy.
At eighteen, he was far too young and had not experienced many things, he couldn\'t possibly form a solid set of values.
Faced with various temptations and desires, what could he use to resist?
"Father, what do you think would happen if Charles fails?" Zane asked, his eyes lighting up as he listened to the others\' discussion, and he cautiously whispered the question.
Benson, as the head of the Taylor family in Genosha, was now calm enough to see the situation clearly.
"There won\'t be any good outcomes. It\'s very likely he will be crippled or even killed on the spot." Benson replied quietly.
I must say, in front of a powerful Beast Master, there is no such thing as law or morality.
As an eighth-level Beast Master, Ezra summoned divine beasts within Calivia, openly threatening the entire Taylor family, and no one dared to speak against it.
Even he, as the head of the Taylor family, didn\'t dare to say much, he could only endure the humiliation brought by Ezra.

Now, with the arrival of a ninth-level Beast Master like Lucas, no one dared to stop him, and no one had the power to do so!
This is the privilege of the strong—just a fourth-level Beast Master,
and whether to kill or not is just a thought away.
Even if Lucas killed someone at the royal banquet, Genosha\'s Emperor Miles couldn\'t do anything about it,
and he even had to clean up the scene to avoid affecting Lucas\'s mood.
This is the world of the powerful!
Benson took a deep breath and kept a straight face as he looked at the figure of the ninth-level Beast Master Lucas, his eyes filled with envy and desire.
He clenched his fists, imagining what it would be like when he became an eighth-level or even a ninth-level Beast Master.
By then, the whole of Genosha would be under his command!
With his father\'s response, Zane stared intently at Charles, already fantasizing about Charles failing the Trial of the Heart and being killed by Lucas on the spot!
"I accept." Charles replied in a deep voice.
He had no other options left, he could only choose to accept.
This was the second time Charles had encountered such a completely passive and helpless situation.
The last time, it was an eighth-level Beast Master from the Constellation organization who had blocked him outside the academy.
Charles had been in this world for too short a time. If he had a bit more time, such a situation would surely not have arisen.
His growth rate was rapid, already far exceeding that of his peers.
However, compared to these powerful eighth-level and ninth-level Beast Masters, he was still too immature, like a child, with no means of resistance at all.
In two extremely passive situations, if it had been anyone else, they would have been dead long ago.
Only Charles managed to successfully defuse the crisis and survive.
This time would be no different!
With that thought in mind, Charles took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and prepared himself for any eventualities.
Lucas watched Charles, who was getting ready, feeling a bit curious. He looked forward to Charles\'s performance—would he hold onto his true self and not fall into darkness, or would he succumb to temptation and become a pawn of the dark forces?
If it were the latter, Lucas would not hesitate to take action, he had already been exceptionally restrained today.
The destructive power of a ninth-level Beast Master is beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Moreover, his lifespan was limited. Unless something catastrophic happened that could destroy an entire nation, other ninth-level Beast Masters generally would not intervene.
This was because they feared that Lucas might be reckless enough to risk his life, leading to mutual destruction.
"Now it\'s time to see how you perform, Charles. I\'m quite looking forward to it." Lucas said, no longer hesitating. He raised the [Light Staff Star Pseud] in his hand.
The light attribute energy surged within him, pouring into the staff, and a beam of white light instantly shot into Charles\'s mind.
Charles seemed to be hypnotized, standing still as he slowly closed his eyes.
At the same time,
above his head, the air began to ripple like a lake, slowly coalescing into a screen.
The screen began to display various images, clearly showing what Charles was about to experience in the Trial of the Heart.
All the spectators were fixated on the screen hovering in mid-air.
Jamie, Hale, Finn, and other people known to Charles wore exceptionally serious expressions, they had never seen a scene like this before.
Deep down, they hoped that Charles could successfully pass the Trial of the Heart.
As for the others—Zane, Benson, and some who were jealous of Charles\'s talent—their thoughts were entirely different. Rather than wanting to see someone succeed, they were more eager to witness Charles\'s painful failure.
Especially some of the once-admired genius youths, who, after seeing Charles\'s performance, began to feel psychologically imbalanced, thinking that Charles was stealing their spotlight.
Soon,
the screen began to change.
On a celestial bridge, Charles opened his eyes in confusion. He carefully observed his surroundings, seemingly unable to comprehend the current situation.
"Ugh, my head hurts so much. It feels like I\'ve forgotten something very important. What was I supposed to do?" Charles kept hitting his head.
He felt like a hungover drunk, unable to remember what had happened before.
Charles tried to retrieve the memories in his mind, and as he reminisced, the screen in the outside world began to shake, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Damn, such powerful mental strength nearly broke him out of the illusion!" Lucas exclaimed in surprise. He quickly increased the light attribute energy flowing into the [Light Staff Star Pseud].
For the first time, the always composed and elegant Lucas lost his poise.
In the eyes of the crowd, Lucas at this moment looked nothing like the elegant gentleman who had just ruthlessly slaughtered more than a dozen rats from the Constellation organization at the intersection.
Instead, he resembled an ignorant person who had never seen the world!
Those who had been watching Charles were all thinking the same thing: would a ninth-level Beast Master lack experience?
Of course not! It was simply that Charles was too monstrous, often breaking everyone\'s understanding.
Faced with Lucas\'s earlier exclamation, many had grown accustomed to it, even a ninth-level Beast Master could not remain calm when encountering Charles!
As time passed slowly, the screen in mid-air gradually stabilized, and Lucas let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, some people who didn\'t quite understand Charles began to murmur among themselves:
"What just happened? A ninth-level Beast Master intervened, and Charles almost broke free?"
"Am I seeing things? This is a ninth-level Beast Master we\'re talking about!"
"That guy Charles is simply a monster! It\'s so hard to accept!"
