Chapter 320 Is This Really Okay?
As the leader of the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire, Zorion had always maintained a very arrogant attitude.However, he had toned it down significantly when facing the more powerful eighth-level Beast Master Nathaniel.
Now, he found himself confronting another eighth-level Beast Master, Drake, who was comparable to Nathaniel. Especially after Drake had shown a hint of his strength, Zorion immediately felt deflated.
He instinctively swallowed hard and took two steps back, his face filled with shock and a hint of concealed fear. He shouted sternly:
"I am a teacher from the Stellar Empire Cyber Academy! What do you want?"
Drake tilted his head nonchalantly, then extended his pinky finger to scratch his ear, responding calmly, "Stellar Empire? Cyber Academy? Sorry, I've never heard of it."
This casual, unconcerned demeanor completely took the wind out of Zorion's sails. He looked desperately at everyone around him and slowly said, "Is this how you Genosha treat your guests? We are your guests!"
"Genosha? Who told you I'm from Genosha?" Drake sighed. He had only been living in the Golden Mountain Range for a long time and was not actually from Genosha.
Zorion opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, when suddenly he looked up at the sky not far away and saw two figures quietly appearing.
"Genosha only welcomes guests who deserve respect, Zorion. You've gone too far." Nathaniel's voice echoed in everyone's ears, carrying a sense of authority.
"Gone too far? We didn't force these students from the Genosha Cyber Academy to duel. They volunteered." Zorion retorted loudly, feeling bold in the moment.
Facing him were two eighth-level Beast Masters—one was Nathaniel, once hailed as the strongest eighth-level Beast Master in Genosha. Unfortunately, since Ezra's arrival, few still referred to Nathaniel in that way.
The other was an eighth-level Beast Master who seemed to have popped up out of nowhere. From the speed he had shown earlier, he could easily rival a typical ninth-level Beast Master!
"How unlucky! This situation has escalated, but they shouldn't attack directly. After all, Genosha needs the support of the Stellar Empire right now." Zorion thought frantically.
However, Nathaniel's gaze made him feel somewhat hesitant.
"I've told you, Genosha does not welcome guests like you. If you want to compete or duel, that's fine. However, your actions are disgraceful." Nathaniel looked coldly at the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire present.

With just a glance, the Beast Masters, who had been shouting arrogantly moments ago, immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
"This evening, the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano will stabilize. At that time, you can fight and compete inside, but as long as there are no fatalities, no one is allowed to intervene." Nathaniel said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Silas's eyes lit up, and he became extremely excited. He quickly whispered to Zorion:
"Teacher, we can accept this proposal. The Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire, under your guidance, have long surpassed Genosha!"
Zorion, after hearing this, thought carefully and felt a bit uncertain. After all, he knew that Nathaniel's daughter Luna was a genius Level 5 Beast Master!
There are Level 5 Beast Masters under twenty years old in the Stellar Empire, but for various reasons, they did not come to participate in this Eye of Ice and Fire event.
Noticing Zorion's hesitation, Silas blinked and whispered again, "I understand your concerns, teacher. I have a way to..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Nathaniel's voice directly interrupted their whispered conversation.
"No need to discuss. This is not a proposal, it is a notification. If you do not accept, you are to leave Genosha immediately." Nathaniel stood in the air, his gaze sweeping over all the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire.
His gaze, which seemed to regard them as mere poultry, made Silas involuntarily shrink back, hiding his body behind Zorion, the Level 8 Beast Master.
"Truly deserving of the praise my father has given him, Nathaniel, the iron-blooded minister of Genosha, is indeed formidable!" Silas thought to himself.
Zorion took a deep breath. In order to avoid embarrassing the Stellar Empire, he quickly called out loudly, "What a coincidence! We were thinking the same thing, perfectly aligning with your thoughts from Genosha."
Upon hearing this, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Nathaniel's face. He felt disdain for Zorion, who, for reasons unknown, had somehow become a Level 8 Beast Master.
"There's one more thing. Beast Masters over twenty years old can only remain on the outskirts of the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano and are not allowed to enter the depths." Nathaniel added.
This time Zorion did not refute, instead, he nodded in agreement. He also knew that if too many Beast Masters entered the depths of the Eye of Ice and Fire, it would disrupt the originally stable energy of ice and fire attributes, and that would lead to trouble.
Therefore, to limit the number of participants and to promote the better growth of young talents, he accepted this requirement.
"The matter is settled then, we will take our leave." Zorion waved his hand, intending to lead the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire away.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Charles's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait, have you forgotten something?"
Zorion, Silas, and Sienna all paused, especially Sienna, who turned around to face Charles and said, "What, do you want to court death? I would be more than happy to accompany you to the end."
Sienna shook his neck and stretched his body, he wanted Charles, the so-called genius, to taste the bitterness of failure.
Especially at this critical moment, it would be best to seriously injure Charles so that he would be unable to participate in the evening's Eye of Ice and Fire.
"Court death? No, it's you who are about to have a close encounter with death." Charles said, his face devoid of any expression, his tone icy. His eyes regarded the Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire as if they were merely weeds by the roadside.
"Everyone talks big, what truly matters is strength!" Sienna was completely unaware of the danger.
However, Silas and Zorion behind him could sense that Charles was exuding a chilling murderous intent!
Ruthless and cruel!
Like a tireless slaughtering knife in a butcher's shop, it was poised and ready to strike at Sienna's throat.
Drake glanced at Charles and smiled, quite satisfied as he said, "Good kid, this murderous intent is even stronger than what I had back in the day, no wonder I have faith in you."
At this moment, Nathaniel, who had been hovering in mid-air, slowly descended to the ground, observing Charles with great interest.
Upon hearing Drake's words, he turned his head and said with a tone of regret, "What a pity, that guy Ezra is truly lucky to have such a disciple."
"What? Ezra's disciple?" Drake was taken aback. He hadn't had the chance to investigate Charles's background and didn't realize that he was already Ezra's student.
Drake had spent a long time in Genosha's Golden Mountain Range, so he naturally knew who Ezra was.
"This kid has such great physical talent, if he's not my disciple, it's a waste of talent! I feel like I still can't beat Ezra. That guy's divine beast is ridiculously strong, only a Level 9 Beast Master could possibly overpower him." Drake thought to himself.
He sighed, feeling a spark of motivation that had long been dormant. If he could break through from a Level 8 Beast Master to a Level 9 Beast Master, he could compete with Ezra for Charles as a disciple.
"The energy of the Eye of Ice and Fire volcano is about to stabilize. I need to keep a close eye on Charles, there might be other surprises." Drake mused.
At that moment, Nathaniel interrupted the impending battle between Charles and Sienna.
"I've said it before, if you want to fight or duel, you can enter the Eye of Ice and Fire. As long as there are no fatalities, it's fine, and the Stellar Empire has agreed to this." Nathaniel stated.
Sienna let out a cold laugh, extending his right hand to his neck and mimicking a beheading motion toward Charles, clearly provocative.
"Just don't be so scared that you disappear when the time comes, otherwise, I'll make you know what it's like to wish you were dead!" Sienna laughed heartily.
Charles said nothing, merely nodding at Nathaniel to indicate his agreement. He then slowly took the hand of the little girl beside him and entered the hotel.
He had no need to waste words with someone who was about to become irrelevant. He had already memorized the appearances of all the Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire present today, once he entered the Eye of Ice and Fire, he would deal with them one by one.
"This kid is lucky, let him live a little longer. Come evening, it'll be his turn to suffer!" Sienna said with a smile, turning to the Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire.
Silas pretended to agree wholeheartedly, but in his mind, he was pondering how to deal with Luna and Charles, the two of them.
In his eyes, Luna, who was under twenty and already a Level 5 Beast Master, posed the greater threat.
With plenty of time left in the afternoon, he needed to come up with a plan specifically targeting Luna!
The streets were now empty as everyone dispersed.
Before all the students from Cyber Academy could enter the hotel, Ruby and Ethan hurriedly walked out.
"Charles, what happened?" Ruby asked with concern.
Charles briefly explained what had just occurred. Upon hearing about the agreement with the Stellar Empire, Ruby's face filled with worry.
She turned to Nathaniel, who had just entered, and asked, "Sir, won't that lead to many students getting hurt? After all, the Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire are quite strong."
Nathaniel glanced at the students around him, noticing their eager expressions, and slowly replied:"There's nothing wrong with that. If they stay in the academy without experiencing real bloodshed and fire, they will never become strong."
