Chapter 2344

In this special world, it was very difficult to advance from Level 8 to Level 9 because it had nothing to do with one's strength, but only the strength of one's physical body.

Even if one was a peak Saint Ruler in the outside world, one would still be stuck at Level 8 if one did not have a Saint-level physical body.

This was the special part of this world.

However, if one had a Level 9 physical body, they would be able to break through very quickly as long as they had enough resources.

The energy crystal that Steward Mai had given Zi Chen had a great history. Its value was not something that a few thousand drops of Sacred Origin Fluid could exchange for.

However, Zi Chen had not reached a certain boundary yet, so he naturally did not know the value of the energy crystal.

His perception was still expanding, and within the range of his perception, the figures of pseudo-divine beasts appeared one after another.

Some of them were hidden in the night, quietly observing their surroundings, while others were slowly moving and pacing around. Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, they all displayed an extremely high level of vigilance and rare quietness.

Evidently, these were the beasts that Lin Sai had taken control of again. After the previous lesson, he was no longer careless and had taken control of many beasts and deployed them strictly so that he could observe his surroundings.

Zi Chen's perception expanded to twice its original size, and in his perception, he discovered eight pseudo-divine beasts. He believed that in those places where his perception couldn't extend, there must be other pseudo-divine beasts secretly observing.

In addition to the changes in his perception, Zi Chen's physical body was also undergoing a metamorphosis at this moment.

The most important point was that his physical body had become stronger. It was as if a layer of the seal on his body had suddenly been removed. This feeling could not be described with words and could only be understood.

"Zi Chen, what's wrong?"

Dun Li sensed that Zi Chen was a little abnormal and looked at Zi Chen in astonishment.

Ya Ge and the others also looked up, their eyes filled with confusion.

At this moment, they felt that there was something different about Zi Chen, but they could not pinpoint exactly what was different about him.

Malt, who was staring at the bonfire in a daze, looked up and glanced at Zi Chen. Then, her expression changed, and her expression became one of astonishment and disbelief.

Steward Mack looked at Zi Chen and smiled. His smile was very gratified.

With just one Energy Crystal, Zi Chen was able to make a breakthrough in just a few days. This proved that when he was in the outside world, his physical body was no longer at the Saint level. Instead, he had already walked a considerable distance on this path.

When he nodded in relief, he didn't bring up this matter. Beside him, Malt didn't say anything either. He didn't even suggest to spar with Zi Chen.

She was very clear about her own strength. She could suppress Zi Chen without using the Heavenly Thunder Wings and Broken Blade, but that was only when Zi Chen was Level 8.

Now that both of them were at Level Four, even if Zi Chen did not use the Heavenly Thunder Wings, his speed would still surpass hers.

Zi Chen smiled and didn't say anything. He also didn't tell them that he had broken through.

This could be considered a small secret. Once there was danger, he, who had entered Level Four, would give them a huge shock. At that time, it would be a pleasant surprise.

"Come, let's eat something!"

Dun Li handed a large piece of barbecued meat to Zi Chen. Zi Chen took it without hesitation and ate it in big bites.

There were obviously two great advantages to having a Beastmaster in a team. First, they didn't have to be vigilant of their surroundings. Second, they didn't have to worry about not having enough meat.

That night, Zi Chen drank a pot of wine, which was rare. After the others fell asleep one after another, he sat cross-legged beside the fire and closed his eyes.

At this moment, there was still some energy left in the Energy Crystal in his stomach. It was turning into the last bit of energy and was being absorbed by his body. Then, Zi Chen realized that after absorbing this energy, his physical body was still strengthening.

In addition, the meat he had eaten was also turning into energy and increasing the strength of his physical body.

The Saint level physical body was the foundation. Level Four was just the beginning. Zi Chen, who had entered Level Four, had undoubtedly entered the beginning.

Now, he was very curious about Level Five Hunters. He wondered if there was a meaning to this level.

The sky was bright, and everyone got up and set off.

They weren't just rushing. During the journey, they would deliberately take detours. If they found a beautiful place, they would stop and admire it. Some even stayed for a few days.

Gradually, Zi Chen found out that the five of them had been following Steward Mack for a long time. They were all temporarily hired by Malt. They didn't have a specific destination. They were just there to protect Malt when she went out to have fun.

Malt's purpose of going out was just to have fun.

Neither Steward Mack nor Malt cared about the last assassination attempt. Even if Zi Chen was worried, he couldn't say anything when his employer didn't say anything.

In a valley full of flowers, Malt was playing with his bare feet. He had an innocent smile on his face, and he was having a lot of fun.

Dun Li was 75 meters away from her. Ya Ge and the others were guarding somewhere else. Lin Sai and Saber-Toothed Tiger were on the cliff, while Zi Chen and Steward Mack were on the other side of the valley.

The two sat at the edge of the cliff, where they could clearly see Malt below.

Zi Chen looked at the blue sky in the distance, and then tilted his head to look at Steward Mack. "Steward Mack, what are the requirements for becoming a Level Five Hunter?"

"Level Five?

I haven't congratulated you on reaching Level Four yet. "Steward Mack smiled, and turned to look at Zi Chen.

"It's all thanks to Steward Mack's energy crystal.

Level Four requires a Saint-level physical body. What about Level Five? What are the requirements? "

"Level Five!"

Steward Mack sighed. He looked at Malt below, and then looked into the distance. "As long as you can awaken your abilities in this world, continuously consume Sacred Origin Fluid, and don't die in an accident, you'll reach Level Four one day and have a Saint-level physical body.

But it's difficult to reach Level Five from Level Four. "

"What's so difficult about it?" Zi Chen asked.

"Fourth-tier requires physical strength as long as one's physical body is strengthened. However, fifth-tier requires special energy, which excludes many fourth-tier beings," Butler Mai said.

"Special type of energy?"

"That's right. It's the type of energy you're really good at in the outside world!

In this world, you need to awaken your energy to reach Level Five, and what you awaken is the type of energy you have in the outside world. "

Steward Mack pointed to a golden cloud in the sky, and said, "For example, your energy in the outside world is fire. The energy you awaken in this world can only be fire.

But there's a huge difference between different types of fire. There's also a difference between stronger and weaker types of fire. Those weaker types of fire can't be recognized by this world, and thus can't be awakened.

Only those special and powerful types of fire can be awakened. "

"This principle is similar to that of things brought in from the outside world. If the quality is so special that even the laws can't destroy it, then it can stay in this world.

But if the quality is average, even if it appears in this world, it will be washed away by time and decay overnight. "

"That's what it's like to reach Level Five. If your energy is strong enough, then you can ignore the laws here and let it appear in this world.

But if your energy isn't strong enough, then you can only stop under the suppression of the laws of this world!

That's why it's easy to reach Level Four, but difficult to reach Level Five! "

Steward Mack explained very clearly, and Zi Chen also heard it clearly.

Before reaching Level Five, anything was possible, even if one reached Level Four.

But after reaching Level Five, the laws would separate everyone according to the survival of the fittest. It had a clear bottom line of the laws. As long as one could surpass this bottom line, one could enter Level Five. If one couldn't meet this requirement, one would forever be stuck at Level Four.

Zi Chen's energy attribute was undoubtedly lightning. But what made Zi Chen somewhat uncertain was whether his lightning had met the requirements of the laws.

"Then what about Level Six after Level Five? What are the requirements?" Zi Chen asked.

"Level Six?" Steward Mack suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "You will naturally know when the time comes."

Looking at Zi Chen's thoughtful expression, Steward Mack smiled and said, "You have just reached Level Four. It's better for you to continue building your foundation. As for Level Five, you don't have to think about it for now."

Zi Chen nodded. He had used such a short time to reach Level Four from an ordinary person. In fact, he was already very satisfied. He asked about Level Five not because he was in a hurry to break through, but because it was rare to meet someone who knew about Level Five. He was just curious and wanted to know more.

Malt was tired from playing, so he returned to the carriage to rest. Along the way, Zi Chen admired the wildebeest's endurance.

Dun Li's wildebeest was of high quality, but after pulling a carriage, it would also feel tired after a long journey. However, Steward Mack's wildebeest had pulled a huge carriage, so its endurance was very good.

Not to mention that the carriage was very light, Zi Chen once pushed it when it got stuck. It was very heavy. It was not at the same level as a handcart.

During the journey, Zi Chen asked Malt when he would go back. He knew that Malt was born in this world and had his own family. His family was very powerful.

Malt told Zi Chen that he might go back after this trip.

In these few days, Zi Chen found that Steward Mack, who was always calm, seemed to have gradually become more serious. The smile on his face was also less than usual.

After leaving the valley, they walked for half a day and arrived at an open area. It was very flat. There were no trees around.

Steward Mack suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's stop here."

This was the first time Steward Mack said that he wanted to stop at a place after Zi Chen joined the team. Usually, it was Malt or Dun Li who decided where to stay.

Dun Li and the others also sensed Steward Mack's abnormality, so they did not show any objection. He glanced at Lindsey, and Lindsey nodded. At the end of the line of sight, there were black shadows moving quickly. Those were Lindsey's beasts.

After a while, Lindsey shook his head at Dun Li, indicating that he did not find anything unusual.

It was noon, and they had nothing to do, so they could only sit beside the carriage, bored.

Zi Chen, who had been guessing Steward Mack's intentions, felt a sense of danger as the sky changed.

Now he was almost certain that danger was coming. Steward Mack had chosen the battlefield in advance.

As night fell, Zi Chen's sense of danger became even stronger.

Dun Li and the others also felt that something was wrong, and their expressions gradually became serious.
