At this moment, although Cheng Gong said he had passed the third level, the people on the scene were not fools.
Through the changes in the stone statues, they could also tell that the one who first broke the record was someone else!
As for Cheng Gong, the nephew of the president of the Pingcheng Association, he fell into deep thought at the spot.
At this moment, President Feng and He Biao both walked over.
"Cheng Gong, what is the fourth level?"
"You passed the first three levels, so you must have seen the situation of the fourth level, right?"
President Feng asked directly.
The surrounding Beastmasters and soldiers also perked up their ears.
Indeed, the third level was already so difficult, what kind of monsters would the fourth level be?
"The fourth level..." Cheng Gong took a deep breath and said, "It's a new snowy mountain environment, much larger in scope compared to the ice plains and glaciers of the first three levels."
"As soon as I entered, the trial space formed fifty fierce snow beasts, ten snow wolves, ten ice armor beasts, ten ice fang pigs, ten ice scale snakes, and ten snow apes!"
"From their growth status, none of them are below level seven, and their skill proficiency is also quite high."
"I wanted to have my Moon Flame Beast try, but there was no breakthrough point."
After Cheng Gong finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
"Damn, fifty?" After a moment, He Biao, the deputy commander of the Pingcheng Beastmaster Corps, widened his eyes.
The first three levels were one-on-one, but how did the fourth level suddenly increase to so many!
This was almost like a small-scale beast tide!
The other Beastmasters who hadn't passed the second or third levels also found the difficulty of the fourth level to be absurd.
Under the conditions of a limited-level apprentice Beastmaster, how could one possibly do 1 vs 50...
Hmm?
Suddenly, everyone noticed a blind spot and looked at the fourth stone statue that had lit up.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, as if someone had indeed passed.
Who could it be...
"Alright, you've done very well, and there will be another chance next time." President Feng encouraged his nephew, then looked at the recorder.
"Check how many people haven't come out yet."
"Yes!" The recorder immediately compared the information, and after just a few seconds, he said, "Currently, it seems only one person hasn't come out."
No one expected the case to be solved so quickly.
Indeed, regardless of whether they passed the first three levels, 1 vs 1 wouldn't take much time.
But to pass the fourth level, it would definitely take a lot of time, so it was normal that only one person remained.
"Who is it?" Although he already knew who it was, President Feng still subconsciously wanted to confirm.
At the same time, in the crowd, the Beastmasters also tried to look around to see who was missing.
At this moment, Chen Kai, Jiang Rui, Qiao Liang, and others had some strange expressions and kept searching, but still found nothing.
Damn... Could it be...
"Shi Yu, his name is Shi Yu!"
Coincidentally, just as the recorder finished speaking, the platform teleportation array in the middle of the six stone statues flashed with light again.
Another person had come out of the ruins.
A young man wearing a dark blue adventure suit, with a backpack casually slung over his shoulder, walked out with a discontented look on his face.
Shi Yu really wanted to have a deep conversation with the broken stone statue for a hundred rounds.
The fourth level was difficult, but with all his efforts, it wasn't impossible to pass.
In fact, it was proven that although the process was extremely difficult, they ultimately succeeded.
But the fifth level, Shi Yu just glanced at it and found it uninteresting.
This was not designed for normal Beastmasters.
The fifth level had a total of 100 fierce beasts, with an increase in both quantity and variety, and a higher overall growth level, even including level ten fierce beasts.
Although there were no race-level leaders, just defeating 50 of them had exhausted Shi Yu and his partner, so he didn't think they could pass this level and thus directly exited.
Well, they would definitely come back, and when their intimidation skills were mastered, they would definitely avenge this defeat.
"Huh?" As Shi Yu's mind was active, he only then noticed that many eyes were on him.
Being stared at by so many strange eyes, Shi Yu felt uneasy.
"Are you Shi Yu?" The recorder closest to the platform teleportation array asked.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Did you pass the third and fourth levels?"
"Uh-huh." This kind of thing couldn't be hidden and there was no need to hide it, so Shi Yu nodded.
He looked at the direction of the stone statues and, indeed, the two that were previously lit had now become four.
"Wow!"
Beside him, Cheng Gong, who had experienced the pressure of the fourth level, found it hard to believe as he confirmed with a nod.
He really couldn't imagine how an apprentice Beastmaster could do 1 vs 50.
Even more unbelievable were the few people who knew Shi Yu.
Chen Kai, Bai Shi, Jiang Rui, and others slightly opened their mouths, finding it hard to believe.
Although Shi Yu was indeed strong, his little Iron Eater Beast didn't seem to have a high growth level, far from level ten!
A low growth level meant limited physical ability, so how did he pass the fourth level...
They didn't know that Shi Yu's partner, Eleven, could shrink to kite opponents, recover physical ability, and use absolute sleep to take advantage of the low intelligence of these non-living fierce beasts for short rests.
"Damn." But the one who found it most unbelievable was the young doctor Qiao Liang.
In his impression, Shi Yu was just a weak but somewhat determined newbie, how could he be a big shot who broke four levels and set a new record.
"Very well done."
At this moment, although they didn't know how Shi Yu passed, the progress in solving the ruins was good news.
President Feng smiled at Shi Yu and said, "You are a disciple of Bamboo Rock Martial Hall, right? The hall master actually mentioned you to me before."
"He said you would bring me a surprise... but I didn't expect such a big surprise."
"Heroes emerge from the young." President Feng clapped and said, "Can you tell me about the fifth level?"
The hall master mentioned him to the president of the Pingcheng Association?
Shi Yu was taken aback and said,
"The fourth level had 50 ice-type fierce beasts with growth levels from seven to nine, and the fifth level had 100 ice-type fierce beasts with growth levels from eight to ten."
"Their racial levels were all in the Extraordinary tier, with varying skill proficiencies."
"Since the fifth level was quite difficult, we just glanced at it and exited without further challenge."
After Shi Yu finished speaking, the people around him were once again stunned.
The fourth level was already insane, and the fifth level was really something a human could pass?
President Feng also fell silent for a moment, then said to everyone,
"Since everyone has already entered the ruins once, I have a message to announce."
"In the next month, the Pingcheng Association will allocate resources to help everyone improve their strength."
"Anyone who can pass two levels can receive pet beast cultivation resources, with the amount increasing for each level passed."
To accelerate the progress of solving the ruins, the Pingcheng Association, no matter how poor, could not neglect the cultivation of the level-breakers, or there would really be zero progress.
"You can rest today. If your pet beast is injured, remember to go to the medical room for recovery."
"Cheng Gong, Shi Yu, right? Do you need to go to the medical room? After that, come with me." President Feng called out the two apprentice Beastmasters who were the only ones to pass the third level.
In the Beastmaster space, although pet beasts' minor injuries would slowly recover and stop worsening, it was best to use healing skills for the best recovery.
"Sure." Cheng Gong nodded.
"I don't need to, my pet beast isn't injured." Shi Yu said.
Eleven recovered while fighting, it lacked physical ability, and was currently sleeping in the Beastmaster space to recover.
Everyone was taken aback.
Listen to this, is this human talk?
Beside him, Cheng Gong was a bit frustrated, opening his mouth again, "You're telling me, 1 vs 50, and no injuries? Huh??"
"Is that so... then, then come with me first." President Feng's mouth twitched.
The Bamboo Rock Martial Hall was already lucky to have cultivated an 18-year-old professional Beastmaster, Lin Xiuzhu, and what was the situation with this Shi Yu?
Anyway, President Feng couldn't understand the data at all.
Then, under everyone's silent gaze, Shi Yu followed President Feng into the camp.
Deputy Commander He Biao also followed.
"Brother, you really passed the fourth level?? I just glanced at your pet beast's data, how did you do it? By the way, I'm the deputy commander of the Pingcheng Beastmaster Corps, my surname is He." He didn't understand.
Not only him, President Feng also had many questions.
At this moment, Shi Yu directly took out the reward for passing the third level, the transparent stone.
And the reward for passing the fourth level, three transparent stones.
The rewards for the two levels were the same, just in different quantities.
"President Feng, Commander He, these are the items I obtained for passing the third and fourth levels."
"What are these? Pet beast cultivation resources?"
Shi Yu took out the rewards, and the two immediately focused on them.
President Feng looked and was slightly stunned.
"Empty Spirit Stones?"
"The rewards for the third and fourth levels are not energy crystals, but Empty Spirit Stones?" He Biao was quite surprised.
"Those, what are Empty Spirit Stones?" Shi Yu had never heard of this resource.
"Damn, you hit the jackpot, these are rare spatial resources!" He Biao said rudely.
"They are rarer than energy crystals, with a high value and limited supply, and most people can't even access them."
"Spatial resources?" Shi Yu was taken aback and looked at the four transparent stones in his hand.
Damn, these are the rare evolutionary materials I was looking for?
Bugs, this time, Eleven and I really went all out for you.
"Yes, spatial resources, and the resources all Beastmasters dream of. Using these stones can accelerate the upgrade of the Beastmaster space." President Feng nodded and said, "This is a good thing to improve the Beastmaster level..."
"Can these be used to enhance the Beastmaster space?" Shi Yu was taken aback again and asked.
Both nodded.
"Uh-huh..." Shi Yu looked at the stones again, that's settled.
Bugs, let's see if the fifth and sixth levels have better resources, spatial resources don't match you.
These stones, I'll use them as a Beastmaster for now.
"From this, it seems Cheng Gong should have also obtained Empty Spirit Stones, which is good. With this, your Beastmaster space can be upgraded to level two earlier, allowing you to contract a second pet beast..."
President Feng nodded, but soon his expression changed, "Wait, Shi Yu, after you return, don't rush to upgrade your Beastmaster space."
"The ruins are currently only suitable for apprentice Beastmasters..."
"I understand." Shi Yu nodded, indicating he understood. He wouldn't upgrade too quickly, just reaching the standard before the professional examination.
With this, he felt confident that he wouldn't fall too far behind Eleven's upgrade speed.
At the same time, Cheng Gong's treatment was quick, taking only about two minutes to arrive.
This was normal, as the nearby military doctors were professional Beastmasters, and treating an awakened pet beast was just a skill.
Even a group of injured pets could be healed with a single group healing skill.
"President, Commander He." Outside, Cheng Gong didn't want to show his relationship with President Feng.
This would make his success seem to be due to his family background rather than his own efforts.
"Cheng Gong, what was your reward for passing the third level?" President Feng looked at Cheng Gong.
"It's an Empty Spirit Stone." Cheng Gong immediately took out a transparent stone, the same as Shi Yu's.
President Feng and Commander He looked at each other and nodded.
President Feng said, "Keep your rewards, they are what you deserve."
"In this ruins challenge, you two are the only ones to pass the third level, Cheng Gong passed three levels, and Shi Yu passed four levels, both of you performed very well."
"You heard, the association will allocate funds to help you improve your strength."
"Since you performed the best, the association will prioritize your cultivation. If you have any needs, you can request them."
President Feng had placed the hope of solving the ruins on these two.
As for the other Beastmasters outside, they would be cultivated as a side effect.
Spending some resources to let them gain more growth in the ruins and cultivate more professional Beastmasters for Pingcheng was not a bad deal.
The main focus would definitely be Shi Yu and Cheng Gong.
"Sure." Cheng Gong, who was clearly prepared, immediately nodded.
As for Shi Yu, he was slightly deep in thought, is there such a good thing?
If there were needs... for his level, money was still the best, the rest were just fancy.
"By the way, you two don't know each other, right?"
"Let me introduce you, this is Cheng Gong, from Pingcheng, but he studies in the city."
"Shi Yu, a disciple of Bamboo Rock Martial Hall, you seemed to study in the city before?" President Feng tried to recall Shi Yu's information.
"Uh, Ice Plain High School, breeding major." Shi Yu introduced himself.
Cheng Gong and Commander He: ??
The two looked at Shi Yu, who defeated a leader-level ice armor giant and successfully did 1 vs 50, and you're telling us you're in the breeding major???
Don't tell them that Shi Yu entered the ruins and used feeding to make the fierce beasts surrender!
"That." Cheng Gong's eyelids twitched, and he extended his hand to Shi Yu, "Hello."
"Being able to pass the fourth level... you are very strong."
"I have a request, after our pet beasts recover, can we have a battle?"
Out of curiosity about Shi Yu's strength and how he passed the levels, Cheng Gong couldn't resist challenging him.
Beside him, President Feng was taken aback but didn't stop him, nor did he need to.
His nephew was naturally competitive, and being outdone this time, wanting to see the gap was normal.
At the same time, as the president of the Pingcheng Association, he also didn't know what this Shi Yu was all about and wanted to see his strength.
The situation inside the ruins couldn't be seen, but an external battle could be seen.
Cheng Gong's challenge was an opportunity.
"Battle?" Shi Yu also extended his hand and shook it with the other.
The other was the only one besides himself to defeat the ice armor giant, so he must be quite strong.
"Sure." Shi Yu didn't refuse, as Beastmasters needed to spar to improve...
