"Me?"
Chen Shu looked confused. Did they think his performance in the first challenge was too good and decide to have him as the chief instructor?
Liu Feng smiled again and said,
"I've already announced the second challenge. It's actually very simple. Whoever can last two minutes against any instructor will receive two hundred billion in resources!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He now seemed to understand why the students had looked at him so eagerly at the beginning.
He spoke in a low voice, "You don't all want to challenge me, do you?"
"You're the only Gold, what do you think?" Liu Feng said.
"..."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "No, I just killed a Beast Emperor. Don't I have enough deterrence?"
In fact, everyone in the world knew that Chen Shu killed the Beast Emperor by exploiting a loophole, not by his own strength. Although it was equally terrifying, it didn't seem to warrant much caution.
In their hearts, the gap between King and Gold was insurmountable. This had become a truth.
And Chen Shu's impression in their hearts remained only the first person of Gold.
Despite his terrifying strength, he was ultimately not a King.
Naturally, the students would list him as a challenge target!
Moreover, the most important thing was that they didn't need to defeat Chen Shu in the challenge; they only needed to last two minutes.
According to the information they had, among Chen Shu's contracted spirits, only Erha was primarily offensive. As for the other three, they leaned towards defense and support.
With all sorts of analysis, Chen Shu was undoubtedly the best target!
Their thoughts were not wrong, but their limited vision made it difficult to judge Chen Shu's true strength.
At this moment, the students were rubbing their hands together, their eyes eager, looking extremely expectant.
"Sigh..."
Chen Shu sighed helplessly. The students in front of him had chosen hell mode right from the start...
He glanced at the other instructors, who all wore strange expressions.
They were not juniors of Silver or Gold. As veteran powerhouses, they could all sense danger from Chen Shu and understood his terrifying strength, which was definitely not weaker than an ordinary King.
"Let's go, let's enter the mountain first."
Liu Feng, with a strange smile on his lips, led the way into the giant mountain before them.
On the mountain wall, dozens of meters high, there was a huge cave entrance. The further they went inside, the wider it became.
In a short while, they arrived inside the mountain.
The entire giant mountain had been hollowed out, making it feel neither oppressive nor hot, but filled with a cool aura.
The students all had looks of surprise as they looked around, not expecting such a hidden world.
Liu Feng said, "For now, our training location will be here."
"Let's deal with the corpse of the Blazing Skybird Lord first."
The others nodded one after another and began to process the Gold Three-star Lord before them.
Soon, a rich aroma of meat filled the cave, and they began to enjoy this meal.
Although the body of the Three-star Lord was not very large, due to its level, its internal energy was abundant enough to feed over a hundred people, and some of its flesh and blood could even be used to feed contracted spirits.
At this time, the ten instructors sat together.
A King-level Beast Tamer said, "Old Liu, honestly, are you deliberately messing with the students' minds with this second challenge?"
"Why else?"
Old Liu smiled slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Do you think two hundred billion is something that can be given away casually?"
"Then why set up this challenge?"
"To let them understand that there are always people better than you, and things beyond imagination."
Liu Feng said with a smile,
"Many of them are arrogant, especially those from beast-taming families. They've been cultivated within the family for a long time and don't understand the outside world."
"If we don't give them some deterrence, it will be difficult to proceed with the subsequent training."
Upon hearing this, the others all shook their heads and smiled, not expecting Liu Feng to have this plan.
"In that case, won't I become the hired muscle?"
Chen Shu, who had his head buried in a bird leg, heard this and looked up, wiping the oil from the corner of his mouth. "No way, you have to give me some money, or I'll deliberately go easy."
"???"
Liu Feng looked over and said, "You, as an instructor, have already been paid!"
Are you trying to charge again?
"You're all just watching the show, but I have to fight all the students. How can anyone feel balanced?"
"That's your duty as an instructor!"
Liu Feng glared at him, but considering that Chen Shu might indeed cause trouble, he said,
"For the practical combat courses later, you can choose the students first, alright?"
"This... alright then."
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Also, if I accidentally kill a student, I won't be held responsible, right?"
"..."
Liu Feng looked over and said, "Then I'll hand you over to the old man to deal with!"
"No..."
Chen Shu touched his nose with his hand and said, "People make mistakes, don't they? And the gap between me and them is so big."
"Forget it!"
Liu Feng glanced at him and said,
"Your skill control is no weaker than the top powerhouses of Principal Ning's generation. It's impossible to accidentally kill someone unless you do it on purpose."
"You're saying in such a situation, I wouldn't hand you over to the old man to deal with?"
"..."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere."
"..."
Liu Feng shook his head, feeling that this guy was the biggest problem in the training camp...
He had been a headache when he was a student, and it was still the same now that they were colleagues.
...
Time gradually passed.
The students soon finished their meal, their eyes filled with satisfaction.
This was in the training camp. If it were outside, the price of eating the flesh and blood of a Gold Three-star Lord would not be cheap.
"Alright, everyone."
Liu Feng clapped his hands and walked to the front of everyone, saying,
"The top five from the first round are out. They are Fang Si, A Liang, Xu Xingxing, Long Yu, and Wang Yichen."
Seeing the students below looking confused, he continued to explain,
"The ranking is not based on who reaches the destination first, but on the overall performance midway."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked enlightened and looked towards the five people in the crowd.
Among them, Fang Si and A Liang were as expected, quite outstanding. Xu Xingxing, by using the Thunderbird, had attracted a large wave of fierce beasts, which also earned him significant points.
As for Long Yu, he was the burly man in the tank top, who also performed exceptionally well.
Only Wang Yichen's placement was a little controversial. The reason was simple: he was only a Silver Three-star Beast Tamer.
Indeed, a woman with long, flowing hair stepped forward, looking confused and said,
"Teacher Liu, I don't think Wang Yichen's performance was enough to get into the top five."
She was also a Gold Beast Tamer, and she believed her contribution was not small, as she, along with three others, had intercepted the Gold Three-star Lord.
"Teacher, I also think it's a bit unreasonable."
"Yes, Wang Yichen is just a Silver Beast Tamer..."
Three other Gold Beast Tamers stepped forward, all expressing their opinions.
If other Gold Beast Tamers had achieved this ranking, they might not have been dissatisfied, but a Silver one was simply not qualified enough, even making people suspect some insider dealings.
"Although the four of you joined forces to block the Blazing Skybird, you didn't have any outstanding performances along the way."
Liu Feng had anticipated this scene long ago and explained calmly,
"In contrast, Wang Yichen single-handedly fought two Lords of the same level, displaying exceptional combat skills, which deserved a spot in the top five."
The woman mumbled, "But he's only Gold level..."
Liu Feng looked at her calmly,
"If we were to rank based on Beast Tamer level, why don't the seven of you Gold Beast Tamers just divide the resources directly, how about that?"
