As everyone knows, videos can't be Photoshopped, so it must be real.

Looking at the illogical scene before them, Association President Lin and the others fell into deep thought.

What a joke!

"Is this real?" Dr. Chen asked, eyes wide.

The Void Mantis, at the King tier, could be considered one of the strongest pets in the Dong Huang King tier.

After breaking through to the Overlord tier, with its previous foundation and the advantages of the Space element, even if it had just broken through, it would be much stronger than ordinary Overlords.

But in the video, it was directly slapped away by Shi Yu with a mental power palm?

Was this really not an animation made by Shi Yu's Imaginary Butterfly using ethereal illusions?

"It's real." Before Shi Yu could speak, Lu Qingyi said, "I was right next to Shi Yu when he fought Senior Void Mantis..."

It's real...

With Lu Qingyi's confirmation, the members of the Eleventh Bureau present were a bit dazed.

Principal Feng immediately looked at Lu Qingyi, as if asking why she hadn't told him about such an outrageous thing earlier!

"Can this ability be popularized?" After Shi Yu finished demonstrating, Association President Lin immediately understood what was going on.

Body Control talent!

It was the mental power Shi Yu developed through his plundered talent!

As Bai Chuan, the Legend who was jointly wanted by Seven Islands, Dragon Palace City, and Dong Huang, Shi Yu had to tell Association President Lin about plundering his talent.

Therefore, not only did Gem Cat and other acquaintances know about the Talent Bead left by Yue Nu from the Totem Era, but Association President Lin also learned about it later.

However, Association President Lin never expected that Shi Yu would use the talent he plundered even better than the original owner.

This was not Bai Chuan's fault; it was just that Bai Chuan didn't have a heaven-defying Time element skill like "Memory Water Drop."

Memory Water Drop and Time Fruit, although both were high-level skills, their value within Shi Yu's team surpassed a large number of Super-level skills.

"Large-scale popularization is impossible; the resource consumption is too great, it's too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there's only one of the key props needed. However, helping a few or a dozen people master it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that the lowest mastery threshold is Master tier, so it's an elite ability," Shi Yu said.

"That's not bad either." Association President Lin nodded, instantly realizing the value of this ability.

If he wasn't mistaken, it was a technique that could only be mastered with a very high level of mental power proficiency. Mental power of this level of proficiency could also give rise to many applications. If it were mastered by Beast Tamers with non-combat special talents, the increase in strength would undoubtedly be enormous.

He looked at Shi Yu in the video, not expecting Shi Yu to give him another surprise.

"What!!!" Association President Lin and Shi Yu's Q&A left the Eleventh Bureau veterans somewhat stunned.

The ability that Shi Yu used in the video could be learned by others with a chance of success?

According to Shi Yu, teaching it to a dozen people wasn't a problem???

In an instant, old veterans like Legend Ke were instantly tempted, feeling a little itchy.

Do they... have a share?

Seeing this, Lu Qingyi "hmm"-ed. Shi Yu should teach her first, right?

It seemed that she was the first to know that Shi Yu had mastered this ability. Even Association President Lin didn't seem to know yet.

"Alright, let's put this matter on hold for now. Everything will be discussed after the World Competition." Association President Lin said immediately.

This was a meeting to discuss the Archeological Extravaganza, not the time to discuss this.

He estimated that relying solely on the Body Control Talent Bead definitely wouldn't allow one to obtain Shi Yu's level of mental power. Shi Yu must have other improvement techniques that were his own secret. Association President Lin's idea was to establish a special department later and have Shi Yu become the chief superpower instructor of the Thirteenth Bureau, starting by teaching this special ability to young talents with non-combat talents like Lu Qingyi and Gao Xuan.

If there was extra capacity, then teach the older generation.

Even if the resource consumption was high and it was too time-consuming and labor-intensive, relying on the national resource pool, creating dozens of super geniuses who could use superpowers shouldn't be a problem, right? Association President Lin thought.

This way, Dong Huang and Shi Yu would both benefit. Dong Huang would gain dozens of new super geniuses, and Shi Yu would take advantage of this opportunity to connect with a huge network of contacts, completely becoming one of the most powerful Beast Tamers in Dong Huang.

Association President Lin fell into deep thought. If he also considered the connections of the Sea Sprite and Dragon Palace City, Shi Yu's intricate network of relationships...

... was likely to become increasingly complex.

Good.

After Association President Lin spoke, the members of the Eleventh Bureau naturally had no objections. After the World Competition it was.

It would give them plenty of preparation time.

Archaeologists like Legend Ke and Dr. Chen were already thinking about what "gifts" they should bring to visit Shi Yu next.

The opportunity to learn this ability clearly had a quota and an order. Those who were familiar with Shi Yu would get it first. First come, first served; they understood.

Meanwhile, Principal Feng, who had no intention of being active and had already retired, looked at Lu Qingyi. He didn't care about himself; he just wanted Shi Yu to teach Qingyi this ability as well. If possible, it would be best before the World Competition. That way, Lu Qingyi would be safer during the World Competition.

"Back to the main topic." Next, Association President Lin told everyone about the time of the World Archeological Conference. He said, "Those who are interested in representing Dong Huang in the competition or joining the Seven Nations Archeological Team, please contact me later."

"In addition, the personnel are not limited to the Eleventh Bureau. Archeological associations, folk talents, ancient families—next, you will contact them one by one. I will provide you with a list, and you can also excavate them yourself."

The meeting lasted about an hour. In short, the Eleventh Bureau's task for these two months was to continue collecting, summarizing, and reporting special archeological information about the Mythical Era and the Totem Era.

Shi Yu and Lu Qingyi were the only two personnel who were not assigned tasks, because they still had to prepare for the World Competition. The Seven Nations Archeological Team was only there to assist the competitors in deciphering the ruins. The two of them didn't need assistance from others; they would directly compete against those mythical ruins themselves.

However, although they didn't have tasks, the two of them definitely couldn't be idle. Shi Yu planned to delve deeper into the Mythical Fossil, while Lu Qingyi decided to delve deeper into the Mythical Revival skill and visit the ruins where she obtained the skill inheritance again.

After the meeting adjourned.

Shi Yu had another private chat with Association President Lin for a few minutes, informing him about the Wind Kirin situation.

In the video, Association President Lin pondered slightly.

After learning that the Wind Kirin, this Mechanical Phantom Beast, had learned the lost skill Wind Spirit Orb and had a chance to become a Mythical Race, Association President Lin nodded.

"Not bad."

"If your Mechanical Phantom Beast really evolves into a Mythical Race, then it's undoubtedly equivalent to Dong Huang gaining another demigod in the future!"

"I'll notify the Fourth Bureau to send you the other fossil as soon as possible."

If it could really awaken a Quasi-God skill, even if it was difficult to grow to the Mythical level, it wouldn't be difficult to grow to the Demigod level!

Pay-to-win! Even if you smashed ten Legendary resources, as long as you strengthened a pet that had mastered a Quasi-God skill to the Totem level, then a Totem with a Quasi-God skill would undoubtedly have the combat power of a Demigod.

Although Shi Yu said that the Quasi-God skill that the Wind Kirin mastered might not be a combat skill, Association President Lin still had high expectations.

The Wind Blessing Quasi-God skill was a move that strengthened luck and definitely couldn't be counted as a combat move, but using it in battle might not be much worse.

He told Shi Yu to believe in the power of Quasi-God skills, as they were the power that initially involved rules.

"Speaking of which, Association President Lin, if I display the ability to revive mythical creatures at the Archeological Extravaganza, won't I be targeted?" Shi Yu thought.

"I feel like if the Totem Country knows, they'll definitely target us to death during the World Competition..."

Association President Lin nodded and said, "That's natural, but what gave you the illusion that you wouldn't be targeted to death if you didn't display it?"

Shi Yu said, "I'm not afraid, but what I mean is, to ensure Rin's safety, can you get it a Mechanical element Legendary resource for restoration or defense? If that doesn't work, just any Wind element Legendary resource will do... Speed up the nurturing progress. Maybe there'll be greater gains.

At that time, I'll directly exchange it for a Mythical resource at the Archeological Conference!"

Association President Lin: ...

This was the real motive!

"Association President Lin, what do you say? If I ask Rin to recognize Senior Dragon God as her godmother, will she agree?" Shi Yu fell into deep thought. "The Kirin fossil came from Dragon Palace City. Rin has some 'blood relationship' with Dragon Palace City, after all. With an extra identity, other Totem Countries will have to weigh things carefully before targeting Rin..."

Association President Lin: ...

Chi Tong: I'm familiar with this.

Association President Lin said, "I'll give you the Legendary resource. Don't disturb Senior Dragon God."

"Ah, alright." Shi Yu said helplessly.

Association President Lin was silent, hoping that Shi Yu's Mechanical Phantom Beast could really awaken a Quasi-God skill.

If it succeeded, plus the Sea Sprite, that would be two pets with Demigod qualifications. After Shi Yu suggested that Association President Lin find more Mythical Fossils, the two ended the call. Shi Yu came to Principal Feng and Lu Qingyi.

"So, are we still eating?"

"Principal Feng is here too. Let's go together."

After Shi Yu came over, Principal Feng looked at him with burning eyes.

"Call Teacher Ying and Senior Mantis too. By the way, don't mention that I replayed the battle in the conference room..."

"Huh?" Principal Feng and Lu Qingyi were silent.

You brat still knows not to let the Void Mantis know!

If the Void Mantis knew that you secretly recorded the scene of it getting beaten up and showed it to others, it would kill you!

"Let's talk about eating later. Shi Yu, that superpower was plundered using An Chang's Talent Bead, right?"

Shi Yu entrusted Gem Cat to take care of An Chang, so he naturally entrusted Principal Feng to take care of this kid as well.

Shi Yu nodded and said, "That's right. It was developed through the Talent Bead, but to reach my level, that's just one of the conditions."

"That kid is really a lucky star for Ancient Capital University!" Principal Feng exclaimed.

An Chang's Awakening Mirror allowed Shi Yu to have the initial idea of the Mechanical Phantom Beast system.

An Chang's Talent Bead allowed Shi Yu to develop superpowers through it.

"So, before I go to Garden Township this time, I plan to go to Dragon Palace City and take him there to train for a few days to thank him," Shi Yu said with a smile.

He wanted to ask Senior Sea Dragon King to give his Sea Wyvern a little private tutoring and ask Senior Butterfly God to bless his Green Silkworm Cocoon.

"Alright." Principal Feng nodded and said with a smile. Training was good. Training and training would help him grow into a new pillar of Ancient Capital University.

Just as Shi Yu and the others were preparing to go eat, at the Wuling City Mechanical Research Institute.

To study Mechanical Phantom Beasts, Dong Huang created a total of three Mechanical Phantom Beast Research Institutes, located in Wuling City, Ancient Capital University, and Xingdu.

Among them, Xingdu was the main research base, housing the most Mechanical Intelligences and Fourth Bureau Mechanists.

Wuling City and Ancient Capital University had Mechanical Phantom Beast Research Institutes purely because Shi Yu later applied for the Mechanical Phantom Beast Legion to train there with the Iron-Eating Beast Legion and the Green Silkworm Cocoon Legion.

As for Ancient Capital University, it established a Phantom Beast Research Institute to develop the Mechanical system. Currently, some Mechanical system students had finally made it and contracted a Mechanical Phantom Beast.

Therefore, once this batch of Mechanical system students grew up, Ancient Capital University's Battle Club might gain an unexpected batch of fresh blood.

Xingdu Science and Technology Park.

Dr. Mei Xiuying of the Fourth Bureau, Legend Xiao Shuang of the Fourth Bureau, and Rear Admiral Xiao Qin—this family of mother and daughters were currently working for Shi Yu, researching the Mechanical Phantom Beast system.

In addition, some other veterans of the Fourth Bureau, as well as Grandma Li of the Eleventh Bureau, Association President Ye of the Third Bureau, and even Fang Lan's parents, were all here. This Mechanical Phantom Beast Research Institute could be said to have gathered dozens of elites in the fields of mechanics, archeology, and breeding.

Super research brains that had mastered perfect proficiency in top-level intelligence were not lacking here either.

With the efforts of this group of people, and with the support of some technologies and ideas provided by Shi Yu, the Soul Heart Fruit cultivation was going smoothly. One batch of Mechanical Phantom Beasts after another was successfully revived, and the technology was gradually improving. In just a few months, Dong Huang had relied on this technology to revive many extinct pets and many lost skills.

However, what was currently giving this group of elites the biggest headache was that the research progress on the most crucial Mythical Fossil was still almost zero.

The dream phantom of this Mythical Fossil was like a cloud of mist, impossible to see clearly, let alone materialize, copy, and revive into a phantom life form.

At this time, Mei Xiuying, one of the main people in charge here, the mother of Legend Xiao Shuang and Rear Admiral Xiao Qin, and who also served as a judge at the Mechanical Conference...

... suddenly received a call from Association President Lin.

"Association President Lin." Mei Xiuying was not surprised to receive a call from Association President Lin, because recently, the research progress of Mechanical Phantom Beasts...

... had to be reported continuously.

She guessed that Association President Lin was asking about the progress again.

"Association President Lin, your call is timely. I have good news."

"What good news, Dr. Mei? Could it be that your side has also made progress in the research of that Mythical Fossil?"

Dr. Mei Xiuying said with a smile, "How is that possible? The progress of that fossil is still the same. It's just that we have initially determined that the evolutionary potential of Mechanical Phantom Beasts is enormous. A Mechanical Phantom Beast can not only be upgraded with mechanical parts, but also evolved by installing a second fossil.

In other words, a Mechanical Phantom Beast may contain two phantom powers! Fusion evolution!"

"Although Mechanical Phantom Beasts, like biological modification machines, don't have long lifespans, this discovery makes the strategic significance of Mechanical Phantom Beasts even greater."

Dr. Mei Xiuying said excitedly, imagining a Tyrannosaurus Rex phantom that originally couldn't fly successfully fusing with a Pterosaur phantom, growing wings and becoming the overlord of both land and sky. How cool would that be?

A Tyrannosaurus Rex that had fused with a Mosasaur phantom, a swimming ocean Tyrannosaurus Rex... would also be pretty cool!

"Huh?" As Dr. Mei Xiuying spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She said in surprise, "Association President Lin, what did you say just now? What do you mean by 'could it be that our side has also made progress in the research of the Mythical Fossil'?"

She had discovered a blind spot.

Association President Lin said, "Shi Yu has improved the Time Meditation Technique and optimized the dream entering technique. He has successfully revived the Wind Kirin phantom. Since your side hasn't made any progress, this Mythical Fossil will be sent to Shi Yu first, so he can study it as well."

Dr. Mei Xiuying: ??????

"Wh-what!!!" She said in disbelief, "Shi Yu... Shi Yu succeeded?"

No, don't joke around.

They had dozens of people plus a super brain working together, and the progress was still stuck here. How could Shi Yu be so fast?

Association President Lin said, "This matter doesn't need to be known by many people. Just send the Mythical Fossil to Shi Yu as soon as possible."

Dr. Mei looked shocked. So, it was true??

She still found it a bit outrageous!

"I understand." Whether it was true or not, she would know as soon as she personally delivered the fossil to Shi Yu later.

At the dinner, Shi Yu and the others talked about superpowers and the Phoenix Legion all night.

After learning that Zhang Qianyi had Phoenix bloodline qualifications and that Shi Yu had the idea of building a Phoenix Legion, Old Man Feng was extremely excited.

This matter had to be handled by Lu Qingyi's mother, his daughter!

He couldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders.

The Phoenix Legion sounded like a powerful legion force with a promising future.

In addition, after learning that Shi Yu planned to continue developing the Telepathy talent through the Talent Bead, Principal Feng and Lu Qingyi couldn't help but be silent at Shi Yu's bold idea.

They didn't expect that Mental Power wasn't enough for Shi Yu.

However, Shi Yu also said that he would try his best to let Senior learn Mental Power before the World Competition.

After that, Shi Yu went back to rest, planning to recover quickly and teach Rin Mythical Revival.

At the same time, he received a call from Dr. Mei, planning to wait for them to come to Ancient Capital University tomorrow.

After returning, in the ruins space, Shi Yu and Rin were both swallowing Memory Water Drops.

Rin was seeing if she could recall more dream memories through the Memory Water Drops.

But unfortunately, the situation wasn't good.

It was estimated that she would still have to start with Mythical Revival in the end.

Meanwhile, Shi Yu was searching for memory fragments of his "previous life".

He held the Talent Bead, continuing to develop the Telepathy talent.

After spending a total of more than two months, Shi Yu failed many ideas, but he had gradually confirmed the idea of developing Telepathy.

It was Eleven, it was Buggy that gave Shi Yu inspiration.

It was the profession of archeologist that gave Shi Yu inspiration.

It was the various experiences of his previous life that gave him inspiration.

The core of Shi Yu's current development idea was "idealism."

"Everything is born from the mind."

"The universe is my heart, and my heart is the universe."

"All existence is transformed by the heart."

In other words, Buggy's power of Imagination.

Buggy's power of Imagination could turn all imagination into reality.

In short, it was daring to think. The greater the imagination, the greater the heart, the greater the world.

Therefore, Shi Yu was thinking about whether he could rely on the power of his mind and imagination to strengthen his pets.

Believing in his heart that Eleven could defeat Divine Beasts would allow Eleven to gain powerful strength.

Firmly believing in his heart that Buggy could transform into the strongest dragon would definitely allow it to transform into the strongest dragon.

A power purely born from the heart.

However, relying solely on imagination was powerless. Shi Yu also needed more things to support his imagination and belief.

Just like Buggy's Imagination Phantom, it also needed to use equipment. Shi Yu also needed to use some "external forces".

And for these external forces, Shi Yu chose "the archeological discoveries of his previous life", "the mythical legends of his previous life", and "the spiritual thoughts of his previous life".

Before the transmigration, Shi Yu was a mythology scholar and archeologist. He had been in contact with more ancient ruins in his previous life than he had in the two years since he transmigrated.

It was just that the ruins on Earth didn't have extraordinary power, so they seemed unremarkable.

However, the current Shi Yu didn't think they were unremarkable anymore.

Because he had discovered the nine inscriptions engraved on Eleven at the Iron-Eating Beast Ruins, and he had also seen them at a certain ruin on Earth.

There was some kind of connection between Earth and Blue Planet, and Shi Yu had not forgotten it until now.

In fact, figuring out this connection was Shi Yu's biggest goal now.

If that was the case, could the power of those myths and beliefs that he knew, if they were partially true, be borrowed for his own use?

Relying on the power of mental imagination, he could transfer their power to his pets.

Using the Memory Water Drop, Shi Yu constantly wandered in the sea of memory. In the dark world, he saw a "First Chinese Map" carved on a stone wall. It was two intertwined black and white yin-yang fish. Using the Memory Water Drop, mental power, and meditation to observe them, they looked much more mysterious than when Shi Yu saw them himself.

Countless layers overlapped. Shi Yu seemed to see the process of the universe evolving from infinity to Taiji, to the generation of all things. He saw the chaotic state before the separation of yin and yang...

... and even the process of separating yin and yang.

What were these? As a transmigrator, Shi Yu naturally knew. They seemed to contain some kind of powerful force, and the concept of yin-yang Taiji didn't exist on Blue Planet in the Beast Taming Era. So Shi Yu was thinking, if this map really contained some kind of rule power, was it possible to rely on his own comprehension and the power of his mind to apply it to his pets?

In addition, in the dark meditation picture, Shi Yu also saw a starry sky and a constellation through the power of the Memory Water Drop. They were also carved on a stone wall, but the simple patterns were now vivid in Shi Yu's eyes.

There were a total of seven constellations, connected together to resemble a dragon. This was one of the Four Symbols of the Sky, the origin of the Azure Dragon.

The legend of the Azure Dragon existed on both Earth and Blue Planet, but the same thing was that both Earth and Blue Planet believed it was fictitious.

In both places, the Azure Dragon referred to the name of the Eastern dragon-shaped constellation, originating from the worship of ancient constellations. On Blue Planet, the Azure Dragon was first recorded in the Totem Era. It was said that the humans of the Totem Era had connected their beliefs to create this fictitious Divine Beast in order to scare other totems.

In the East of Blue Planet, the Azure Dragon was very famous and was one of the dragon-type mythical totems worshipped by humans. However, the orthodox Dragon Race, whether it was Dragon Palace City in the East Sea or the Western Dragon Race, did not recognize the Azure Dragon.

This was because Dragon Palace City and the Western Dragon Empire had detailed records that the ancestor of the Dragon Race was the World-Creating and World-Destroying Divine Dragon named "Progenitor Dragon," who was a Blue Planet native Divine Dragon born on the home planet, rather than the Azure Dragon totem created by humans and some sub-dragons through constellations.

If the Azure Dragon was a constellation, then it was not even a Blue Planet native creature. Therefore, the concept of the Azure Dragon was not orthodox on Blue Planet.

However, the concepts of the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise were very widely spread on Blue Planet. In fact, many extraordinary life forms believed it and evolved towards these concepts. There were even Totem-level creatures and demigods in later generations, but most Dragon Races still recognized the Progenitor Dragon more.

The main reason was that one had evidence and the other didn't.

However, at this time, Shi Yu had discovered some of the Azure Dragon's mysteries through the Azure Dragon diagram in his memory.

That's right. Even if the Azure Dragon was really fictitious, after being worshipped for so long, it should have given birth to a spirit like the Sea Sprite, right?

Unfortunately, Shi Yu still couldn't connect these mysteries to Eleven and Buggy...

"Is there still something lacking..."

Shi Yu opened his eyes. The Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram flashed and disappeared in his pupils, which reflected his mind. Shi Yu sighed. It must be that his understanding was not enough.

Damn it.

But no matter what, after seeing these mysterious patterns from the Earth ruins through the Memory Water Drop and the power of meditation, Shi Yu became more and more certain that he was not wrong to develop Telepathy in this direction.

Through mental connection, he would transmit the magical forces he sensed to his pets. Through the power of Imagination, he would apply this force to them and help them become stronger. As long as he dared to think, Eleven could step on the Yin-Yang Diagram and fight dragons with its bare hands, and Buggy could coil above the Seven Stars and transform into the Azure Dragon.

He felt that this should be the ultimate form of Telepathy for the archeologists of the Eleventh Bureau! In comparison, Mental Power was just something that was incidentally developed during the process.
