After resting in the tender embrace of beauty, Yue Yang's exhaustion was swept away. Refreshed and full of spirit, he continued his journey through Beast Valley.
Beast Valley, Stone-Pushing Grounds.
The third test differed somewhat from the first two, but it was an exceptionally difficult trial. Though it did not carry the same risk of death as the Spirit Beast Hall and War Beast Cannonball, nor was there any time limit here, the Stone-Pushing Grounds was considered the hardest trial for War Beasts to pass.

Without understanding the method, without grasping the trick, without sufficient intelligence.
Before such questions, all one could do
