"You guys are going to battle?"

Head Regiment He, a rough man who didn't care about details, said, "Damn, that's interesting!"

"I'll go get people to clear a space for you!"

"It's a good opportunity for those recruits to see something."

One is Old Feng's relative, and the other is a monster rookie who somehow passed the fourth level. In short, neither of them is simple.

He also wanted to see the strength of these two.

Well, by the way, it can also motivate the recruits under his command. Not bad.

"Youth is good." President Feng also said with a smile.

He squinted his eyes, looking less like he was sighing with emotion and more like he was preparing to watch a show.

"Then let's wait until after lunch. You guys get plenty of rest, eat your fill, and then battle."

"Okay." Cheng Gong said indifferently.

Shi Yu was even more indifferent.

…

Outside, the sergeant of the Beast Taming Regiment was giving a speech to the trainee Beast Tamers.

The general content was that in the next month, everyone could challenge the ruins repeatedly.

However, they could only challenge it once a day.

During this month, everyone could go home, or stay here. Anyway, there was plenty of camping space here, and three meals a day were guaranteed.

"I've decided to stay here. I won't leave until I pass two levels."

Chen Kai, a top student from Pingcheng No. 1 Middle School who only passed one level, felt ashamed.

He was such a small waste, only passing one level…

"But do you have enough Bright Spirit Capsules?" asked the only close classmate who passed the exam with him.

"Damn, it seems I don't have enough. I have to go back and prepare a month's worth first." Chen Kai realized.

Damn it, they were both eating Bright Spirit Capsules, so why didn't he get the same effect as Shi Yu?

Their strength wasn't that different during the battle before.

But how long had it been? One passed one level, and the other passed four levels. The difference in strength was simply astronomical.

Did Shi Yu upgrade his supplements?

"I have to prepare some too." Chen Kai's classmate said. He was also an examinee from Tianmang Mountain.

While the two were talking, Qiao Liang, a physician from Bai Cao Tang, who didn't really intend to eavesdrop, had a strange expression.

Why were people still discussing supplements even when they got to the ruins?

What was going on with this supplement craze lately?

Including Shi Yu, how did a weak Beast Tamer who ate supplements every day become a super big shot?

Could it be… do these supplements really have hidden effects?

Physician Qiao Liang, who had received relevant education, also felt a little hesitant in the face of reality.

Maybe… he should give it a try too?

The group was quickly dismissed. Some planned to stay and watch, while others planned to go back and prepare.

But at this moment, the sudden action of a team of soldiers drawing a dividing line for a venue puzzled many people.

The venue was quickly drawn, and some Beast Tamers were curious and went to ask.

With this one question, the Beast Tamer was stunned.

A moment later, a message spread throughout the nearby camp.

Not only did all the Beast Taming Regiment stationed here know, but all 80 of the new Beast Tamers also knew.

"Damn, this is amazing! That Cheng Gong who passed the third level and that Shi Yu who passed the fourth level are going to have a battle here!"

"President Feng and Head Regiment He allowed it. Everyone can watch!!!"

The news spread, and everyone immediately became alert, no longer sleepy or hungry.

"There's a battle to watch? I'm not leaving. I want to see where the gap between me and the big shots is."

"Me too, I'm not leaving."

"Add one."

These were the new Beast Tamers.

The Beast Tamers of the Beast Taming Regiment were incredibly silent.

The professional-level sergeants were okay, but the ordinary soldiers at the trainee level had complex feelings.

After all, not a single one of their large group had passed the third level.

These two, however, one passed three levels in a row and the other passed four levels in a row. It was simply infuriating to compare people.

"Let's see how powerful they are." Many people thought.

The area near the ruins suddenly became lively.

At noon, almost everyone stayed and chose to get food at the barracks.

At this time, no one could find Shi Yu and Cheng Gong.

It wasn't until after lunch that the two appeared.

Because Head Regiment He had called them to eat a special nutritional meal.

The nutritional meal could speed up the recovery of pets in the Beast Taming Space. After eating, the two of them would almost be back to their peak condition.

Although… for Shi Yu, it was the same even without eating, since Eleven had the double recovery buff of Absolute Sleep and the Beast Taming Space.

…

"They're here, they're here."

As Shi Yu and Cheng Gong appeared outside, the disciplined soldiers were okay, but the new Beast Tamers immediately became noisy, looking quite expectant.

Under the greeting of Head Regiment He, the trainee-level soldiers all gathered around, intending to broaden their horizons.

In an instant, Shi Yu and Cheng Gong became the focus of the audience.

"Isn't this formation a bit too big?" Cheng Gong was apprehensive.

He just wanted to challenge Shi Yu out of dissatisfaction and see the difference, but Head Regiment He and the others made it the focus of the audience.

If he lost, wouldn't he be very embarrassed?

Shi Yu also felt that the atmosphere was a bit too grand, but since it was already like this, he would just go along with it…

Next, the two walked to the two sides of the drawn venue.

Head Regiment He came to the edge of the venue with a hearty laugh and said, "Then I'll be the referee for you."

"Okay, thank you." Shi Yu and the other said.

Head Regiment He nodded, and said seriously, "You two, send out your pets together."

"Then start fighting when you hear my command!"

As he said this, the audience was completely silent, all staring at the two.

Because not everyone knew the situation of the two's pets.

"Moon Flame Beast."

A huge summoning array appeared, and Cheng Gong's pet walked out of the space ripples.

"Roar!!!"

When this pet walked out, it brought rolling heat waves.

This was a creature with a body length of more than one meter, covered in scarlet, flame-like fur, with a crescent-shaped pattern on its sides towards the rear along its buttocks.

It resembled a wolverine, a mustelid from Earth, and may have been an evolved species of wolverine.

[Name]: Moon Flame Beast

[Attribute]: Fire

[Race Level]: High Extraordinary

[Race Skills]: Explosion Flame, Flame Assault, Flame Claw

Not an ice-type but a rare fire-type creature in Icefield City…

"Wuu——"

Compared to the Moon Flame Beast, the Iron-eating Beast on Shi Yu's side was much more familiar to the audience, after all, it was a characteristic pet of Pingcheng…

At this time, Eleven was also very unhappy. Not being able to clear the ruins in one go made it feel that its training intensity was not enough!

It had to work harder to be worthy of Shi Yu's stat points.

It looked at this opponent. Well, let's start by instantly killing the opponent in front of it… If it couldn't do it, the training volume would be doubled!

Eleven conveyed its thoughts, and Shi Yu's expression was complex. Be a bear, Eleven!

At the moment, as Eleven, who was one meter tall, walked out of the summoning array, everyone was slightly silent.

Because Eleven's size was too small, it looked like an infant Iron-eating Beast.

Everyone was from Pingcheng, so they naturally knew that adult Iron-eating Beasts were nearly two meters tall. This one meter was too different.

It looked less than two years old?

Seeing the Iron-eating Beast, Cheng Gong's eyes were filled with disbelief because of its size.

Shi Yu passed the fourth level with this Iron-eating Beast cub? How was that possible!

"Trainee Beast Tamer, Cheng Gong, pet Moon Flame Beast, growth level, awakening level ten."

Cheng Gong took the lead in introducing himself in order to exchange for information about Shi Yu.

"Trainee Beast Tamer, Shi Yu, pet Iron-eating Beast, growth level, awakening level seven."

There was nothing to hide about the pet's information, so Shi Yu directly said it.

When Shi Yu finished speaking, many people were stunned.

Awakening level seven, no joke???

Everyone knew that Shi Yu breaking through four levels in a row was amazing, but at least being strong had to be logical.

If your Iron-eating Beast's growth level was ten, everyone wouldn't say anything.

It turned out that not only was the pet a cub, but its growth level hadn't even reached the peak of the awakening period?

"It was level six a few days ago. Did it break through?"

The discussion of the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall's apprentices gave the surrounding people another heavy blow.

MMP!

Not to mention these trainee Beast Tamers, even President Feng nearby felt outrageous.

Shi Yu's information recorded that when he participated in the Tianmang Mountain training assessment, the Iron-eating Beast was only level six.

So, this was what he didn't understand… An Iron-eating Beast with a growth level of less than ten, even if it had proficient hardening, couldn't possibly pass the fourth level, or even the third level.

There were many doubts among the Beast Tamers present, and Head Regiment He was the same. He chose the most direct way to solve the puzzle.

"Damn it, start the battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Gong immediately issued an order.

"Moon Flame Beast, Explosion Flame!!!"

The Moon Flame Beast had a ferocious expression and roared. Its scarlet fur stood on end, and a ball of fire condensed in front of its mouth.

In an instant, a huge fireball nearly one meter in diameter, containing explosive power and rolling heat waves, directly formed!

[Explosion Flame]: An intermediate fire-type skill that can create flames containing explosive properties, with great destructive power!

As soon as the Moon Flame Beast made a move, the surrounding frost instantly melted, and the Beast Tamers present also felt a heat wave.

"The proficiency of this Explosion Flame is at least at the skilled level!"

Head Regiment He thought to himself. No wonder it could defeat the Ice Armor Giant. This fire skill was very destructive to ice-type creatures…

No, not only to ice-type creatures, but to all creatures!

Boom!!!

The Explosion Flame was launched. This one move made many Beast Tamers understand the gap between themselves and Cheng Gong.

However, what surprised people the most was that Shi Yu and the Iron-eating Beast didn't seem flustered in the face of this powerful attack.

"Eleven, Hardening, Thunder Palm!"

As the flames approached, Eleven stood still. Its fur originally swayed with the hot wind, but in the next instant, it became like an unmoving mountain after using Hardening.

Low-level skill, Hardening!

Looking at the small Iron-eating Beast with its metallic texture, everyone was not unfamiliar with this move.

However, why didn't it dodge? Instead, it planned to use Hardening to withstand the skill? People didn't understand.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz——

In the next second, those who didn't understand Shi Yu's command discovered a new change in the small Iron-eating Beast.

Countless blue and white electric currents suddenly spread out from the small Iron-eating Beast's entire right arm, and its power looked extremely astonishing.

The terrifying electric current spread on the metallic arm. The trainee Beast Tamers might not understand, but it directly changed the expressions of all the professional Beast Tamers.

"Combination skill!" All the professional Beast Tamers said in shock, and it was a combination of skills of different attributes!

At this time, the Explosion Flame attacked.

Eleven used the combination skill of proficient-level "Hardening" and proficient-level "Thunder Palm" and directly pierced through head-on with one palm.

Buzz buzz buzz——————

The sound of thunder and lightning was like thousands of birds chirping, and Eleven's arm was like a thunder and lightning spear, shocking the audience.

This action made Cheng Gong's eyes widen.

Boom!!!

In a burst of roaring, Eleven seemed to be swallowed by the Explosion Flame, but what everyone saw was that the fireball instantly split in two the moment it touched the small Iron-eating Beast, with a passage pierced through the middle!

The skilled-level intermediate skill Explosion Flame was actually cut open with one palm.

This wasn't over yet, because the Explosion Flame contained explosive properties. Although its power was drastically reduced because its form was instantly destroyed, the remaining Explosion Flame was still instantly detonated.

At this time, Eleven had already walked in front of the Explosion Flame that had been cut open. With its entire body hardened, it borrowed the impact of the Explosion Flame's explosion and rushed towards the Moon Flame Beast like a thunder and lightning-entwined beast. The speed was so fast that it directly disoriented the Moon Flame Beast.

"Roar!!!" The Moon Flame Beast's pupils shrank. It didn't understand what kind of monster this was that could cut open its Explosion Flame.

This was normal, after all, the piercing power of the perfect-level Thunder Palm could even cut open lightning in nature. Although Eleven's Thunder Palm proficiency was not enough, it also had the amplification of Hardening, so its power was not much worse.

Although this Explosion Flame was strong, its intensity was obviously not enough.

"Flame Assault! Flame Claw!"

Facing the small Iron-eating Beast rushing over, Cheng Gong's scalp went numb, feeling a strong sense of oppression, but the only thing to do now was to counterattack.

[Flame Assault]: An intermediate fire-type skill that allows the flames in the body to explode, converting them into kinetic energy, and gaining greater speed.

Cheng Gong planned to let the Moon Flame Beast win with speed. After all, the Iron-eating Beast's eyesight was not very good.

Boom!

Flames burst out of the Moon Flame Beast's body, as if it had turned into a flame afterimage. The proficiency of this Flame Assault was clearly also at the skilled level, not as simple as entry-level.

Swish!

The Moon Flame Beast didn't intend to confront Eleven head-on. Its claws were covered in scorching flames, and its figure swayed strangely from side to side while also rushing towards the Iron-eating Beast attacking it.

A moment later, the two brushed past each other.

However, Cheng Gong and the Moon Flame Beast completely miscalculated.

Their chosen speed interference tactics had no effect on Eleven, who had super vision.

Bang!!!

The Moon Flame Beast's Flame Claw that it swung in the air stopped in the sky, and its body also stopped in mid-air. Just as its attack was about to land, Eleven's palm hit its stomach.

The scene seemed to freeze. In the next moment, the Moon Flame Beast seemed to have encountered a huge impact and suddenly flew out!!!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

It rolled more than ten meters before stopping.

The scene was instantly silent.

"Let's end it here." In the silent scene, Shi Yu was the first to speak.

At the moment of the attack, Eleven canceled the combination skill and only used Hardening to deal with the enemy. This didn't cause much damage to the Moon Flame Beast. Otherwise, with one blow from the combination skill, even if this Moon Flame Beast didn't die, it would be severely injured.

Except for Shi Yu himself, no one knew that Eleven had mastered the proficient-level Thunder Palm.

"I…"

At this time, seeing the Moon Flame Beast flying out in an instant, Cheng Gong was still a little dazed.

How was it possible? How could this Iron-eating Beast keep up with the Moon Flame Beast's speed…

His face instantly turned pale.

Even when fighting the Ice Armor Giant, they didn't have such great pressure.

What was the monster on the other side… level seven? You must be joking!

"Awoo!!!" At this time, Eleven stood unharmed in place, staring straight at the enemy who was climbing up.

Although it didn't take the initiative to launch intimidation, Eleven's aura completely left a shadow in the other party's mind!

"Kid, you lost." Head Regiment He, the referee, was silent the whole time and only spoke to Cheng Gong now.

After speaking, he spoke to Shi Yu with an incredible tone.

He asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"Not only proficient-level Hardening, but your Iron-eating Beast has also mastered the skilled-level Thunder Palm?"

"And you perfectly combined them to form a combination skill?"

Also, this Iron-eating Beast's battle awareness and experience are ridiculously strong… It could actually find a chance to hit the other party's vitals in the face of the Moon Flame Beast accelerated by Flame Assault?

What kind of monster combination were they… Head Regiment He had never seen such a fierce newbie.

"Yes." Facing the question, Shi Yu nodded.

As he nodded, the audience was silent for a moment, and then, there was a constant uproar.

"Is that the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall's unique skill, Thunder Palm?"

"What a ridiculously powerful, it actually split the flames with one palm."

"You're stupid. That's not an ordinary Thunder Palm. It's a combination skill, and it's stacked with the power brought by a proficient-level Hardening, which has extremely high requirements for skill proficiency!"

"Is that so?" Someone asked the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall's apprentices.

At this time, the Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Hall's apprentices were also dumbfounded and didn't know what was happening at all.

But everything that was happening in front of them told them that this was true.

Jiang Rui was stunned in place, not understanding whether Shi Yu had made great progress during this period, or whether he hadn't used his full strength when fighting him.

Every level of Beast Tamer has things that they need to study.

At the trainee level, training pet skills to the skilled and proficient level is already very good.

Combination skills are something that professional Beast Tamers should study.

As for the master level, they study the mysteries formed by perfect-level skills.

This is the normal route that Beast Tamers should experience, but Shi Yu and this small Iron-eating Beast…

So even the trainee Beast Tamers such as Chen Kai, Bai Shi, and Qiao Liang, and even the professional Beast Tamers, were stunned at this time, not understanding how this level seven small Iron-eating Beast was cultivated.

"I lost." Facing such an Iron-eating Beast, Cheng Gong's throat was hoarse. There was no way to accept defeat.

And others also knew why Shi Yu could clear the first three levels so quickly.

That combination skill, even the Ice Armor Giant wouldn't be able to withstand it!

Their worldviews were shattered. This was the first time they knew that the combination of a trainee Beast Tamer and a pet of a medium race below level ten could be so brutal!

In a certain corner, the secretary of the Pingcheng Association looked at their silent president and finally waited for his comment.

"Should I talk about this Iron-eating Beast, or should I talk about this Beast Tamer? It's simply a monstrous talent, so monstrous that it's Unscientific." He said in a heavy tone.
