Chapter 2529

c_t;

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 with one's physical body.

Even if you were a peak Saint Ruler in the outside world, you would still be stuck at Level 8 if you didn't have a Saint-level physical body.

This was the special part of this world.

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

The energy crystal that Steward Mack had given Zi Chen had a great origin. It was worth more than a few thousand drops of Sacred Origin Liquid.

However, Zi Chen hadn't reached a certain level yet, so he naturally didn't know the value of the energy crystal.

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

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 were all extremely vigilant and quiet, which was rare for them.

Evidently, these were the beasts that Lin Sai controlled again. After the lesson from last time, he was no longer careless. He controlled many beasts and deployed them strictly so that they could observe their surroundings.

Zi Chen's perception had doubled, and in his perception, he found eight pseudo-divine beasts. He believed that there must be other pseudo-divine beasts observing in secret in the places where his perception could not reach.

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

The most important thing was that his physical body had become stronger. It was as if a layer of the seal on his body had suddenly been undone. This feeling couldn't be described with words. It could only be understood.

"Zi Chen, what's wrong with you?"

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

Ya Ge and the others also looked up, their eyes full of confusion.

At this moment, they felt that Zi Chen was a little different, but they couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different.

Malt, who was staring at the bonfire out of boredom, raised her head and glanced at Zi Chen. Then, her expression changed. She was shocked and in disbelief.

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

With just one energy crystal, Zi Chen was able to break through 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 quite a distance on this path.

He nodded in satisfaction. He didn't bring up this matter, and Malt didn't say anything either. He didn't even ask to spar with Zi Chen.

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

Now that both of them were 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 was a little secret. Once there was danger, he would surprise them when he reached Level 9. When that happened, it would be a pleasant surprise.

"Come, have some food!"

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 two obvious advantages to having a beastmaster in a team. One was that they didn't have to be on guard, and the other was that 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, he sat cross-legged beside the bonfire 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 of its energy and being absorbed by his body. Then, Zi Chen found that after absorbing this energy, his physical body was still strengthening.

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

The Saint-level physical body was the foundation, and Level Four was just the beginning. Zi Chen had already entered Level Four.

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 were not just rushing. During the journey, they would also deliberately take detours. If they found a beautiful place, they would stop and admire it. They would even stay there for two more days.

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

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

Neither Steward Mack nor Malt cared about the previous assassination. Even if Zi Chen had concerns, he couldn't say anything when his employer didn't say anything.

In a valley filled with blooming flowers, Malt was playing with water barefooted with an innocent smile on his face.

Dun Li was 75 meters away from him. Ya Ge and the others were guarding somewhere else. Lin Sai and Saber-Toothed Tiger were on the cliff, and 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 for 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, of course!"

Steward Mack sighed, and looked at Malt below. His gaze moved to 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 can 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 difficult about it?" Zi Chen continued to ask.

"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 energy?"

"That's right. It's the type of energy you're 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, and the energy you awaken in this world can only be fire.

But there's a huge difference between fire, and there's also a difference between strong and weak fire. Those relatively weak fires can't be recognized by this world, so they can't be awakened.

Only those special and powerful fires can be awakened. "

"This principle is like an item brought in from the outside world. If its quality is special to the point where the rules can't destroy it, then it can stay in this world.

But if its quality is ordinary, even if it appears in this world, it will be eroded overnight by time. "

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

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

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 understood.

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

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

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 rules.

"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'll naturally know when the time comes."

Looking at Zi Chen's thoughtful expression, Butler Mag chuckled, and said, "You've just broken through to the 9th-tier. You'd better continue building your foundation. As for the 0th-tier, don't think about it for now."

Zi Chen nodded. He was actually very satisfied that he had used such a short time to reach Level Four. He was not in a hurry to break through Level Five, but 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 was full of endurance after pulling a huge carriage.

Not to mention that the carriage was very light, Zi Chen once pushed it when it got stuck. It was very heavy, and 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, which was very powerful.

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

In the past few days, Zi Chen noticed that Steward Mack, who was always calm, seemed to be getting more and more serious. The smile on his face was also getting smaller and smaller.

After leaving the valley and walking for half a day, they arrived at an open area. It was very flat, and 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 express any objections. He looked at Lindsey, and Lindsey nodded. At the end of their 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, feeling bored.

Zi Chen, who had been guessing Steward Mack's intentions, became more and more aware of some kind of danger as the sky changed.

Now he was almost sure that there would be danger. 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 sensed something unusual, and their expressions became more and more serious.

However, nothing unusual happened for the whole night. When dawn approached, a roar from a pseudo-divine beast suddenly sounded.
