The next day.

Shi Yu woke up groggily.

He looked at the time, it was not even eight o'clock in the morning, still early.

He could sleep for another eight hours.

However, thinking that he had to pick up a package at eight o'clock this morning, he had no choice but to get up.

After a while, Shi Yu went out, and after another while, he brought back the Mythical Fossil researched by the Xingdu Mechanical Phantom Beast Research Institute.

The express delivery team was none other than Dr. Mei and her three daughters.

Although Dr. Mei and others wanted to talk to Shi Yu in detail, there didn't seem to be much to talk about, because the progress of the mechanical department was similar to that of Rin and the Xingdu Research Institute. There was nothing to share or exchange.

The Xingdu Research Institute only lacked a beast tamer with max-level telekinesis, the Father of Mechanical Phantom Beasts, Chong Chong, and Ginseng Baby. Shi Yu had nothing to exchange.

After sending away the three delivery people, Shi Yu returned to his dormitory and began to examine the gray fossil.

"Chong Chong."

After Shi Yu called out, Chong Chong wagged its tail and flew out, full of vanity, not yet recovered from the triumph of defeating the Void Mantis.

"Let's go in and take a look." Shi Yu said to Chong Chong, holding the fossil.

"Wu!" Chong Chong nodded, indicating that it would take care of it.

Two minutes later…

Shi Yu and Chong Chong emerged from the fossil's dream realm with solemn expressions.

It felt like it couldn't be blamed on the slow progress of the Xingdu Research Institute.

But the dream realm of this fossil was too strange. Even when Shi Yu and Chong Chong went in to look, it was just a haze, with nothing at all.

Holding this mythical-quality, level-five energy level mythical fossil, Shi Yu and Chong Chong looked at each other.

So difficult to deal with?

Shi Yu and Chong Chong refused to believe it and kept trying in various ways.

The so-called various ways were to stack buffs. Whether it was possession, Time Fruit, or borrowing equipment, they did everything they could to stack up the attributes.

After a long time…

Shi Yu and Chong Chong had bloodshot eyes and were as tired as dogs, but they still couldn't see anything!

"So tricky?" Shi Yu said.

They had even entered the dream realm of the Qilin clan. Could the level of this fossil be even higher than that of the Qilin clan?!

According to archaeological discoveries, in the Eastern Mythological Era, the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and the Qilin Clan occupied the main positions. They should be the three races with the highest status in the Mythological Era, with orthodox mythological inheritance. They were mythological races.

In addition to top mythicals like the Ancestral Dragon and the Original Phoenix, the clan also included many branches. For example, the Qilin clan included many attributes, such as Wind Qilin, as well as Gold Qilin and Fire Qilin…

It was because the clan was huge and had left many relics that their historical traces could be passed down to this day.

Among them, the Dragon Clan was the best, leaving behind Dragon Palace City and the Giant Dragon Empire, two behemoths spanning the Totem and Beast Taming eras.

Therefore, the Dragon Clan didn't recognize the Azure Dragon because, in their inheritance, the Azure Dragon was just a human fabrication from the Totem Era.

However, it was true that the Azure Dragon totem had collected an incredibly vast amount of faith.

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird, these totem mythical beasts fabricated by humans based on constellations, gathered a large amount of faith. If they were real, their strength would not necessarily be weak.

After all, becoming a god through faith was also a path. The Fox God of the Tianhu Kingdom relied on this, and even the Canghai Elf was born because of faith.

This was also why some totems went to evolve themselves in the direction of the fictional Four Holy Beasts.

Shi Yu suspected that the "Four Holy Beasts" gathered by Emperor Wu and the original owner of the Legendary Dragon Ball equipped by Chong Chong were all evolving in the direction of the Four Holy Beasts with ulterior motives.

Perhaps, they were thinking of evolving in this direction to蹭 some power of faith.

Otherwise, without any benefit, who would bother to evolve into fictional totem mythical beasts? But if they could inherit their power of faith, it would be different.

It should be known that even in the current Dong Huang, there were still many people who believed in the Azure Dragon totem.

The Four Holy Beasts, although fictional, could be said to be household names among humans and transcendent creatures.

Ordinary people in the ancient country of Dong Huang might not know the Ancestral Dragon, but they would definitely know the Azure Dragon.

Compared to the prosperity of the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan was more miserable. It had been glorious in ancient times, even the behind-the-scenes totem of the Empress Dynasty, but in modern times,

There were very few powerful Phoenix Clans left.

The only one Shi Yu knew was still sealed.

And the Qilin Clan was even more miserable than the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. Although there were not many pure-blooded Phoenix Clans, there were still some transcendent creatures with some Phoenix bloodline. But the Qilin Clan really had no inheritance at all, only leaving behind their glorious history, proving that they were once as powerful as the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.

But this was already enough, after all, it was one of the few races with mythological races in the East.

Therefore, if Shi Yu used the Wind Qilin fossil to create a mechanical phantom beast of the Qilin race, it would undoubtedly be an earthquake for the archaeological and beast taming world.

And like those divine beasts that had no clan and "became gods individually," their inheritance and history were even more seriously cut off, and even their names had disappeared into the river of history.

Shi Yu and Chong Chong took another look at the fossil, but they still couldn't glimpse the dream realm.

"This should be a fossil left by a true mythical-level creature." Shi Yu said.

"Wu!" Chong Chong nodded, that should be the case.

That Wind Qilin should only be a mythical race, not a mythical level, so it was easier for them to peep into the dream realm.

The Wind Qilin's growth level was not high, so even if its fossil was preserved by Dragon Palace City, its energy had already dissipated.

But this fossil, which also originated from the Mythological Era, still had level-five energy fluctuations after so long, so it definitely couldn't be as simple as a mythical beast cub.

Most likely, it was a mythical-level big shot before it died!

Shi Yu and Chong Chong wanted to continue researching, when another phone call came.

Shi Yu took a look at the caller ID and immediately smiled, choosing to answer.

"Shi Yu, I've thought about it, I want to become a Phoenix Clan hybrid." On the other end, came the voice of Zhang Qianyi, Shi Yu's classmate in beast taming.

"You've thought it through? Okay, then contact Lu Qingyi."

Zhang Qianyi:

Weren't you the one who told me to contact you after I thought it through?

How did you become a different person after only one day?

Then why not let her contact Senior Sister Lu directly?

Shi Yu shook off the burden very thoroughly. Yesterday at the dinner, he had already given those Phoenix Fruits, research data, cultivation methods, and Phoenix Radar to Senior Sister Lu and Principal Feng.

He was just waiting for the Phoenix Legion to take shape.

"Oh, right, Senior Sister Lu seems to be doing her Legend assessment today. If no one answers, wait a bit, don't worry, or you can find Principal Feng, but maybe Principal Feng went to watch the Legend assessment too…"

Zhang Qianyi:

Shi Yu perfunctorily finished with the little girl and continued to busy himself, and was thinking about whether he should go see Senior Sister's Legend assessment….

Forget it, the Legend assessment is not difficult, there's nothing to see.

Senior Sister Lu should pass without much pressure.

A Legend-level Beast Tamer license requires the Beast Tamer's Beast Taming Level to reach Level 7, and the Growth Level of one of their pets to reach Overlord Level. At the same time, the strength of the Overlord-level pet cannot be too weak. With the help of the Beast Tamer, it would be unreasonable to be weaker than an ordinary Overlord without Beast Taming talent.

Therefore, the Legend assessment is a 1vs1 between Overlord levels.

Winning is not required, but don't be too pathetic.

Like the "Netherworld Devil Tree" that Shi Yu had encountered before, it would definitely not pass Dong Huang's Legend assessment.

Senior Sister Lu's side, normally speaking, it wouldn't be easy either.

Because the pet she broke through to Overlord was the Tingsiang Elf, and the Tingsiang Elf was her latest contracted pet, which had not received the "Mythical Revival" skill inheritance.

The reason why this pet broke through first was because Senior Sister Lu had obtained the Undead-type Legend resources from the Gudu University, which happened to be used by the Tingsiang Elf.

Considering the practicality of the Tingsiang Elf's Possession skill, it could make up for the shortcomings of her Telepathy talent, which had no combat power and could not cooperate with her pets, so Lu Qingyi simply didn't use this resource to exchange for other Legend resources.

However, this was the normal situation, and now the situation was not normal. Shi Yu firmly believed that Senior Sister Lu could pass, because he had given Lu Qingyi a drop of Possession Memory Water, which was enough to increase the proficiency of the Possession skill to the level of Art Approaching Dao.

An Overlord-level Elf Undead, plus a Legend Beast Tamer, the two combined through max-level Possession, even if their combat power was not as good as a top-level Overlord, they could definitely suppress ordinary Overlords.

The bonus of max-level Possession was much more powerful than the bonus of a Beast Tamer using an Enhancement-type talent to strengthen their pet.

However, Shi Yu heard that the one who was assessing Senior Sister Lu was the Master of Misunderstanding, who had obtained an Overlord-level partner…. This was very coincidental.

"Thanks to me…" Shi Yu exclaimed!

Near noon, Shi Yu gave up studying the fossil, no longer wasting energy. If he wasted any more energy, he would really have no time to teach Rin Mythical Revival.

Shi Yu was about to pick up the phone to ask Lu Qingyi about the assessment situation, when Lu Qingyi called Shi Yu first.

"How is it?" Shi Yu asked.

"I passed, thanks to your Possession Memory Water, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have won this battle." Lu Qingyi was extremely happy and thanked him.

Shi Yu coughed lightly. The Legend assessment didn't require winning. Generally, it was considered a pass if they fought for an hour or two without a winner. It was rare for a newly promoted Legend to win against the examiner at once, but it seemed that Senior Sister Lu had done it.

The Master of Misunderstanding's new Overlord partner didn't seem to be good.

It wouldn't be the level of the Prognostic Owl, right?

"What did the Master of Misunderstanding say?"

"The old man seemed very surprised, he didn't expect my strength to increase so much after entering the Possession state."

"Haha, what did you say…"

"I told the Master of Misunderstanding that it was all thanks to you." Lu Qingyi smiled. Indeed, Shi Yu taught well, no, the resources he provided were very good!

"This…" Shi Yu said: "And then?"

"Then… then the Master of Misunderstanding was expressionless, didn't say anything, just wanted to treat you to a meal tonight to thank you for saving Qu Ling in the Tianhu Kingdom…"

Shi Yu scratched his head, was he being sincere?

The news of Lu Qingyi passing the Legend assessment was announced very quickly.

She passed the assessment in the morning, and by noon, the Dong Huang Association had already announced the news to the outside world.

This news undoubtedly caused another shock in the Dong Huang beast taming field.

Six!!

Six of the top ten in the sequence were already Legend Beast Tamers.

In the World Competition more than 20 years ago, Dong Huang barely managed to gather three Legends under the age of 30.

And 20 years later, the number had actually doubled.

Zheng Hai, the head of the Binhai Dojo, had just broken through to Legend, and Lu Qingyi followed closely behind, once again focusing the eyes of Beast Tamers on the sequence ranking.

Wuling City.

Bai Xi looked at the battle picture of Lu Qingyi in her elf form on the trending search, her eyes filled with longing, so beautiful! So beautiful! Damn it, what should I do if I can't keep up with Senior Sister Lu's progress?

Even, Bai Xi felt that she was about to be surpassed by Senior Sister Panda these days. Senior Ji Mengzhu was too strong, and Bai Xi was even considering whether she should shamelessly ask to become Senior Ji Mengzhu's disciple.

Imperial Capital.

Ji Feng silently watched as his former defeated opponent surpassed him step by step, sighed slightly. He was afraid that he would have no hope of breaking through to Legend before the World Competition. The progress was too far behind.

Big news always came one after another. After the Dong Huang Association announced the news of Lu Qingyi's promotion to Legend, the sequence ranking was updated immediately afterwards.

The updated ranking stunned everyone.

Sequence First, Ye Xing, the status of this army brat remained unshaken.

Sequence Second, Shen Ling, the descendant of the Mechanical Legend, her ranking remained stable.

Third, Jiang Tianyang, the Legend Young Master of a large consortium! Sequence Fourth, Zheng Hai, the disciple of the Overlord Sea Legend!

Seeing this, everyone realized that Zheng Hai had successfully challenged the original fourth-ranked Zhou Ming!

Zhou Ming was considered the weakest in terms of background among the previous top four in the sequence. The reason why he was so fierce was because his Beast Taming talent had mutated into the Fusion talent.

He could temporarily fuse and evolve his contracted pets with different ones. Because of this powerful talent, he was taken in as a disciple by a Legend Beast Tamer.

However, it seemed that the disciple of an ordinary Legend was ultimately not as good as the disciple of a titled Legend. As soon as he broke through, Zheng Hai immediately successfully challenged Zhou Ming,

Seizing Sequence Fourth!

Of course, this was also related to the training ideas of the Overlord Sea Legend. The Overlord Sea Legend attached great importance to Zheng Hai's foundation. When one of Zheng Hai's giant Kun's Super Order racial skills was close to perfect proficiency, the Overlord Sea Legend did not let him break through, but instead let him train all the Super Order racial skills to this level before breaking through in one fell swoop.

In this way, the Overlord's Body obtained would be even stronger.

Therefore, Zheng Hai's strength was quite good as soon as he broke through.

These were all things that the melon-eating Beast Tamers didn't think much about. They just thought that Zhou Ming Legend was a bit unlucky, first being pushed down by the Young Master of a large consortium, and then being pushed down by the disciple of a titled Legend. He was an old unlucky egg.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't be too bad. The worst thing was Sequence Fifth…

Sequence Fifth… Everyone was very sure that their eyes were not mistaken.

On the ranking of Sequence Fifth, the name was still "Top Master Shi Yu"!!!!

And Zhou Ming, after losing two matches in a row, directly fell to sixth, and incidentally squeezed Lu Qingyi, the newly promoted Legend, to seventh. But fifth… stuck in the middle of a bunch of Legends, was still Shi Yu, the Top Master.

This change undoubtedly stunned everyone.

They instantly understood what this meant.

It meant that the Sequence Competition Committee believed that Zhou Ming, the former Sequence Third, couldn't beat the No. 1 person below Legend?

It was fine that Lu Qingyi had just been promoted and had no record, but Zhou Ming, the former Sequence Third, was actually ranked behind Shi Yu.

Trouble!

The vast number of Beast Tamers immediately felt that the Sequence Competition Committee was making trouble.

Shindu, a youth who was less than 1.7 meters tall, fair-skinned, and chubby in both figure and face, stared at his plummeting sequence ranking,

His heart was bleeding.

His face was extremely red, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, my Legend resources, my Legend resources, even if I lost two matches, how could you rank me sixth? Is this reasonable."

"I haven't even fought this Shi Yu yet, how could you rank me below him!!"

He suddenly stared at Shi Yu.

However, seeing that there was still a newly promoted Legend Lu Qingyi behind him, Zhou Ming had a subtle sense of pain, feeling that if he couldn't get into the top five,

He would be beaten to death by his master…

What he didn't know was that the Sequence Battle Committee also had no choice, because the budget for the entire selection competition was five Legend resources. Shi Yu had already taken one in advance, so he had to be ranked in the top five….

Moreover, Director Zhong, who had watched Zheng Hai and Zhou Ming's battle, was indeed not very satisfied with the performance of this little fat man, and felt that he was too lax. Naturally, he couldn't let this fat man easily obtain Legend resources.

The settlement of the sequence ranking was about to end. Whether he wanted to get Legend resources or not depended on whether he would make a final effort.

Even if Shi Yu had already taken one Legend resource in advance, if someone defeated him, then the Sequence Competition Committee could only apply for one more. And if they were a Legend and couldn't even defeat Shi Yu, this Top Master, then it would be a waste to apply for one more Legend resource for them. It would be better to give it to Ye Xing and Shen Ling to further strengthen these top combat forces.

Shi Yu… directly became the touchstone arranged by the Sequence Committee for Lu Qingyi and Zhou Ming…

"Is Director Zhong making trouble?"

At this time, Shi Yu, at Gudu University, also noticed the ranking update.

If he was squeezed out of the top five, Shi Yu would not be surprised, after all, he was the only one who was not a Legend in front.

After being squeezed out, he would not continue to fight, after all, he had already received the resources, and the Association could not give them to him repeatedly. He would not go and trick others.

But the problem was, what did it mean to put himself in fifth place…

Shi Yu's expression was strange. After a while, he silently received a challenge application from Zhou Ming, Sequence Sixth. This little fat man with a weak sense of existence was anxious.

[Challenge Message]: Dr. Shi Yu, Dr. Shi Yu, let's have a match~

"Challenging a Top Master like me, you have no integrity."

"Forget it, ignore it." Shi Yu glanced at it. After all, he was his future bodyguard, so he shouldn't attack the child's confidence.

Currently, the Sequence Competition has entered the final stage, which is the mandatory challenge stage. The challenged person cannot refuse. If they do not accept within 24 hours, or refuse to accept the challenge, they will automatically be judged as losing.

Shi Yu chose to ignore the challenge, waiting for the system to automatically squeeze him down. As for this Zhou Ming, Shi Yu estimated that even if he entered the top five, he would not stay there for long. He would eventually be picked off by Senior Sister Lu. He was an old unlucky egg.
