When Shi Yu was in Dragon Palace City, the legendary Beast Tamers Hinokawa Kika and Hinokawa Yui from Seven Islands arrived in Dong Huang.

Because they had a clear purpose, their destination being the Ancient Capital, Dong Huang delegated the reception to Feng, the former legendary Beast Tamer and principal of Ancient Capital University, and Lu Qingyi, the newly advanced legendary Beast Tamer.

"Teacher, do you think Shi Yu and Lu Bai are the same person?"

After Hinokawa Yui and Hinokawa Kika arrived in Dong Huang, they still had great doubts about this question.

Although no one in Dong Huang believed that Shi Yu and Lu Bai were the same person, they, having personally witnessed Lu Bai deciphering the Phoenix Ruins, held a different view.

Lu Bai was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface. He was definitely not a Beast Tamer who came purely for exchange, but should have been eyeing the Phoenix Ruins from the very beginning!

And within Dong Huang, the most likely person to decipher the Phoenix Ruins of Seven Islands was the archaeologist Shi Yu, who had a phoenix-blooded heroic spirit contracted. Plus, Lu Bai also had similar pets...

"It doesn't matter anymore, and we'll know soon enough." After arriving in Dong Huang, the two legendaries directly met the Ancient Capital legendaries waiting for them.

"Welcome." Principal Feng greeted the two legendaries from Seven Islands with a smile and introduced himself.

"And this is Honorary President Lu Qingyi of the Dong Huang Archaeological Association. She also knows a lot about the legendary Mu Huiyin and the history of the Empress."

Next to Principal Feng, Lu Qingyi nodded and gave a slight nod.

"Legendary Feng, Legendary Lu, hello." Phoenix God Hinokawa Kika said.

"Aren't Doctor Shi Yu and the others here?" However, what the two cared about was that Shi Yu and Lu Bai, whom they had expressed the most desire to see, were not present.

"Shi Yu and the others are on a mission and are currently away. They may not be back for a few days," Principal Feng said.

Hinokawa Kika and Hinokawa Yui were silent.

"Then can we know why Lu Bai was able to decipher the Phoenix Ruins?"

"We do have some research on this and can tell you both," Principal Feng nodded and said, "Let's find a quiet place first."

In order to win over Hinokawa Kika and Hinokawa Yui, it was impossible to say nothing.

In a quiet room, Principal Feng sat across from the two, saying, "According to our research, the reason Lu Bai was able to decipher the Phoenix Ruins,

and enter the ruins unharmed to retrieve the inheritance, is because his pet's bloodline is a direct descendant of the owner of the Phoenix Secret Realm."

"We already guessed that." Hinokawa Kika said, "So the bet agreement of the Dong Huang exchange group was made with a certain purpose from the beginning. Before coming to Seven Islands, Lu Bai knew that he would definitely be able to decipher the Phoenix Ruins."

Principal Feng smiled and said nothing.

But it was equivalent to saying everything. It would be foolish to play with bets without the certainty of winning.

"In other words, Dong Huang already knows the identity of the owner of the Phoenix Secret Realm?" Hinokawa Yui asked.

Lu Qingyi nodded and said, "The owner of the Phoenix Secret Realm was a strong member of the Phoenix Clan during his lifetime, whose race was named 'Sun God Phoenix'."

Sun God Phoenix...

Indeed, the secret realm was full of Yang Flame.

The two Hinokawa legendaries agreed.

"And this Sun God Phoenix senior is currently in Dong Huang. It was the guardian of Dong Huang during the Empress Dynasty and had a close relationship with Her Majesty the Empress."

"What, it's still alive?!" The two Hinokawa legendaries were shocked. Didn't you just say during his lifetime?

No, if it was still alive, how could it allow its ruins and secret realm to be scattered outside?

"Although it is alive, it is no different from being dead. Presumably, you two have also learned some of the history of Dong Huang before. The Empress Dynasty was destroyed a long time ago. The reason for the destruction was naturally the Totem War. As an important guardian during the Empress Dynasty, it was the first to bear the brunt during the impending destruction of the Empress Dynasty and was cursed by the enemy, forcing it to reincarnate."

"However, because this curse involved the power of rules, possibly originating from a demigod, even after reincarnation, it still carries a strong plague and secondary curse, a living disaster. Therefore, Her Majesty the Empress at that time could only seal it."

"Unfortunately, the Empress Dynasty was destroyed too suddenly, and it did not wait to be unsealed. Dong Huang at that time was already crumbling."

Hinokawa Yui and Hinokawa Kika's expressions changed slightly.

Lu Qingyi continued, "Although it was sealed, it still retained consciousness. As time passed, the power of the curse on it weakened, and its own consciousness became clearer. It also informed Dong Huang how to restore itself."

"Currently, Dong Huang is working hard to rescue and restore this senior."

"The location and cracking method of the Phoenix Secret Realm were also told by this senior. This is the treasure house it left behind before it was sealed. Some resources inside,

can be used to purify the curse on it."

"If you two want to truly confirm the origin of the Phoenix Secret Realm, you can come again after we rescue this senior."

"That makes sense." Hinokawa Kika's expression was complicated. She had also studied the Phoenix Secret Realm very deeply. Regarding Lu Qingyi's statement,

she already believed half of it.

Principal Feng said, "Phoenix God Hinokawa, as far as I know, the Phoenix Shrine mainly worships this senior, and you, Phoenix God Hinokawa, were able to rise because of the secret realm left by this senior. Why don't you bring the Phoenix Shrine and join Dong Huang?"

"I heard from Legendary Ba Hai that the guardian of Akagami Island even attacked you because of the Phoenix Secret Realm. This kind of thing will never happen in our Dong Huang."

"Impossible." Hinokawa Kika shook her head and said, "Don't say anymore."

She was alone, but many of the shrine maidens in the Phoenix Shrine were people who had families in Seven Islands, and some even came from large families. It was impossible to lead the Phoenix Shrine to join Dong Huang.

"I don't want to talk about other things. I just want to know if there is anything I can do to help rescue and restore this senior. I want to communicate with it with a clear consciousness as soon as possible."

Principal Feng: "Why don't you two stay in Dong Huang first? Lu Bai has a close relationship with this senior. When he comes back, we will have in-depth exchanges."

Principal Feng didn't expect to be able to poach people directly. Everything had to be done slowly.

Regarding the Undying Nether Phoenix, Principal Feng and the others didn't hide anything, because no matter whether what the Undying Nether Phoenix said was true or false, it didn't matter anymore.

Even if the Undying Nether Phoenix was an enemy, so what?

In Shi Yu's words, Phoenix Mom was so generous, and even sent mythical resources. Even if she was an enemy, he couldn't bear to hurt Phoenix Mom, so he would wait until Su Su became a demigod before rescuing the Undying Nether Phoenix. Even if the Undying Nether Phoenix had any conspiracy, under the purification of the quasi-divine skill Spirit of the Cleansing Sea, it could be transformed into a kind-hearted Dong Huang guardian and become a good phoenix.

It could be said that from the moment Shi Yu contracted the Spirit of the Ocean with the strongest purification power, he had checkmated the situation.

Who uses Yang Flame to purify curses?

While Bai Long was helping to run errands to form an environmental protection department exchange team, Shi Yu started experimenting with Spirit of the Cleansing Sea.

Spirit of the Cleansing Sea looked like a blue water spirit, identical in form to the Spirit of the Ocean. Like the undead, it could attach to other living or dead things to complete the purification.

After Su Su temporarily reached the overlord level using the Time Fruit, it tried its best to use the Ocean Contract to condense a maximum-strength Spirit of the Cleansing Sea before overloading.

At this time, this was not purely the Spirit of the Cleansing Sea, but a combination skill of Purification + Time Fruit + Ocean Contract + Spirit of the Cleansing Sea!

After condensing, it fused and attached to Eleven's body.

"Skill Point!"

At the same time, Shi Yu's hand landed on Eleven's furry head, performing Alloy Strengthening.

"Yi!" Beside him, Ginseng Baby worked hard to heal, each pet performing its duties, Chi Tong's possession, and Ling's loading, to increase Shi Yu's state as much as possible.

After some operation, Shi Yu looked at [Cooldown Time] and fell into deep thought.

[Cooldown Time]: 12 hours. With the support of the whole team, it only takes 12 hours to give a pet with overlord will a skill point for a super skill. The time has been shortened by half!

"Stable!!"

After being stunned, Shi Yu was overjoyed.

This meant that before the World Competition, he should be able to have three super skills at the extraordinary level in the team!

Extraordinary super skills were abilities that only powerful totem-level beings could master.

With three of them on his side, even if the opponent was an invincible overlord or a totem level, they might not be able to fight.

Su Su's mastery of Spirit of the Cleansing Sea was indeed an epic improvement for the team.

Originally, Shi Yu was in a hurry to develop his telepathy talent because he was worried that there wouldn't be enough time to add skill points, preventing him from dominating the World Competition and forcing him to look for new abilities.

But now, even if the talent wasn't successfully developed, the chance of winning the championship would increase by at least 3%, stable.

"Ning~!!" At this time, the team discussed who to add points to next.

Three opportunities for extraordinary super skills!

Eleven's Alloy Strengthening definitely had to take one, after all, it was currently the skill in the team closest to extraordinary level. Not adding points would be a waste.

Although Eleven wanted to add its Undying Golden Body to the extraordinary level, creating a true immortal body, it had already added one skill,

and it was a little embarrassed to continue competing for favor.

Su Su believed that her Frosty Cold Air should be added, and the time-based skill that combined assistance and attack would definitely shine and play a key role.

Ginseng Baby believed that its Plant Control should be added, and the Time Fruit transformed by extraordinary Plant Control would definitely be the best auxiliary item for the team, which could greatly improve the entire team.

Maybe, after letting the mythical race Ling eat it, it could have stable totem-level combat power.

Ling believed that although she didn't have the will of an overlord, the cost performance of adding Mythical Revival was still very high, after all, it was a skill that could tap into the power of the gods.

Worm and Chi Tong also had some small ideas. For example, Chi Tong wanted to add Undead Revival to the extraordinary level, so that he could control totem-level undead,

and his combat power would greatly increase.

Worm also had small ideas, such as extraordinary Magic Ban Domain, which could directly disable 99% of overlords, preventing them from controlling the power of nature... It was also super cost-effective.

"Um..." Shi Yu himself also had a headache. At this time, the best thing he could do was to temporarily give up adding points to Alloy Strengthening, after all, Eleven's potential and strength after evolution were unknown, which was equivalent to gambling.

But Alloy Strengthening was already so proficient, not continuing to add points would be a waste.

Anyway, he now had good luck bonus. Shi Yu decided to continue gambling. Maybe he could gamble on a mythical race with extraordinary evolutionary skills.

For the remaining two main positions, Shi Yu thought deeply and finally decided to give them to Ginseng Baby and Su Su.

They both had the will of an overlord, making it easier to add skill points. As for the follow-up, it would depend on the situation.

"Woop woop~~~" Shi Yu had a huge harvest here. After confirming the skill point plan, Bai Long ran back excitedly.

"Shi Yu, Shi Yu, ten dragons have been gathered~~"

This time, there was no need for too many overlords to be sent by Dragon Palace City for exchange in Courtyard Township. Ten was already a lot.

And picking 10 from the environmental protection department with nearly a hundred overlords was naturally easy.

Bai Long flew over quickly, and Shi Yu walked out of the room.

"Are they all gathered? Which ones are they?" Shi Yu asked.

"Uncle Hake... Second Brother... Doctor Saint-Be... Ice Dragon Sister..."

Shi Yu nodded, some were familiar faces.

Uncle Hake, the Leviathan Whale, a top overlord of the dragon family, with an energy value of nearly 90 million. He should be able to beat that Blue Scale Jiao.

The legendary players of Courtyard Township were about to cry.

Second Brother... It was estimated to be the Second Prince, the Primeval Thunder Dragon, who had been beaten by Eleven. Wasn't this guy a monarch level? It seemed that he had broken through.

Doctor Saint-Be... the overlord nurse who was responsible for treating the Poison Dragon Radiation at that time. Although she was not a dragon, it was normal to bring a healer on the exchange team.

"Ice Dragon Sister, which one is it?" Among them, this title alone made Shi Yu a little confused.

"Bing Yulong, is the adopted daughter of Senior Ice Dragon King. Senior Shi Yu, don't you know?"

"Ah, this." Shi Yu was stunned, he really didn't know!

Did he gain a sister for no reason?

It seemed that Bing Long had also gained a foothold in Dragon Palace City. He had even started adopting daughters. He should have gathered several overlords under his command.

"By the way, isn't your eldest prince also an overlord? Didn't you go call him?"

Seeing that the eldest prince was not on Bai Long's list, Shi Yu asked curiously.

Bai Long's face darkened and said, "How dare I? And that guy is a cultivation maniac who trains in the Dragon Palace Ruins all year round, wanting to break through to the totem level as soon as possible. He shouldn't be interested in exchange activities."

"I see." Shi Yu nodded. The eldest prince of Dragon Palace City was a Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, and should be the strongest dragon in Dragon Palace City under the totem Dragon King. As expected of the eldest prince, he was more promising than the third prince.

After the exchange team was gathered, Shi Yu saw that the time was almost up, and said, "I'll go call someone else, and then we'll prepare to set off."

"Okay~!!" Bai Long agreed repeatedly.

Shi Yu directly summoned Su Su and asked her to take him back to the sea.

Above the East Sea, after leaving the deep sea secret realm, Shi Yu took out his phone and dialed Senior Lu's number.

After a while, Senior Lu's voice came from the other side: "Shi Yu?"

"Senior, I'm almost ready here. Are you free? We can set off for Courtyard Township as we discussed last time."

"I'm here..." Lu Qingyi on the other side of the phone had black lines on her face and said, "The legendaries of the Phoenix Shrine have arrived."

"That legendary from Seven Islands named Hinokawa Yui is still pestering me and asking if Shi Yu and Lu Bai are the same person. When exchanging Phoenix pets, she said she could sense it. My Azure Spirit Phoenix Bird also ate the Phoenix Fruit. She asked if the Phoenix Fruit Lu Bai obtained was given to me."

"Well... She also wants to fight me. Shi Yu, Shi Yu, did you say something wrong to her?"

"And how does it seem like anyone can guess your disguise?"

Shi Yu: "..."

He almost forgot about these two legendaries from Seven Islands.

"Cough, mainly in the end, I didn't want to hide it anymore. Anyway, the resources have been obtained, and the Dragon Palace City army has also arrived."

"Forget about them for now, let Principal Feng receive them. Let's go to Courtyard Township first."

"Hmm?" Lu Qingyi asked: "Aren't you waiting for the Dong Huang side to form an exchange group?"

"I'm not waiting. Dragon Palace City is also forming a group to go to Courtyard Township. We'll go with Dragon Palace City."

"If you guys are done, hurry up and come over with Teacher Ying."

"Okay." Lu Qingyi nodded.

After getting the news from Shi Yu, Lu Qingyi, Jewel Cat, and Void Mantis set off for Dragon Palace City.

Shi Yu remembered that Elf Queen seemed to say that Dragon God would also go to Courtyard Township, but these days, there had been no movement from Dragon God and Elf Queen.

After throwing the exchange task to him, there was no news.

So, were they going together or separately?

Or had the two legendary big shots already left?

Shi Yu couldn't help but be curious, so he encouraged Worm to ask.

Above the Dragon God Palace, when Worm went to the Dragon God statue to train, he carefully asked when passing by: "Um, um, um."

Meaning, Senior Dragon God, the Beast Tamers are preparing to go to Courtyard Township soon. Are we going together or separately?

Inside the Dragon God Palace, Dragon God and Elf Queen had been exchanging cultivation experiences these days.

Dragon God was a demigod-level life, and Elf Queen, as a half-elf Beast Tamer, mastered Beast Taming talent similar to that of the Martial Emperor, and could also temporarily become a demigod-level life and master quasi-divine skills by borrowing the power of nine contracted elves.

Both legends were powerhouses who had come into contact with the power of rules, and both involved wind-type rules, so naturally there were many experiences to exchange. The two were so absorbed in the exchange that the days passed in a blink of an eye.

"It seems that they are ready." Elf Queen said.

"Then let's go." Dragon God said.

"What do you think about letting Shi Yu go to that mythical ruins with us?" Elf Queen said.

Dragon God glanced at her and said, "He's not even a legendary, are you trying to kill him?"

Elf Queen smiled and said, "How could I? Never mind, I just thought he might be able to help. Then, it should be no problem for him to mess around with those low-level ruins in Courtyard Township, right?"

Dragon God said, "Just ensure his safety."

"Don't worry, I can't bear for anything to happen to him either. He's a little genius who has contracted a mythical race." Elf Queen smiled and said, "If he's as unreliable as that Lin Feng, I'll have a headache, after all, I'm preparing to entrust a royal elf to him."

Back then, Lin Feng abducted a genius royal elf who was highly regarded by Elf Queen from Courtyard Township. As a result, Lin Feng disappeared directly not long after,

and Elf Queen was furious.

Elf Queen felt that she was not learning her lesson. This time, seeing Shi Yu's talent, she actually had the idea of ​​letting Shi Yu contract a Courtyard Township elf again, which could also deepen Shi Yu's connection with Courtyard Township.

Elf Queen was half-human and half-elf. Her family, which was now the royal family of Courtyard Township, involved three races: human, elf, and half-elf. Among them, the elf royal family could be contracted.

But it was still different. Lin Feng took the initiative to go to Courtyard Township to abduct elves, while Shi Yu was someone Elf Queen actively wanted to befriend. In Elf Queen's view, Shi Yu's talent was even stronger than Lin Feng's. After all, Lin Feng didn't even cultivate a mythical race pet with an evolution talent, but Shi Yu did it.

Although it was said that Shi Yu was an archaeologist and this profession was very dangerous, he might disappear like Lin Feng while exploring the ruins, but Shi Ning had the blessing of the wind to protect his luck, so he shouldn't be so unlucky.

Therefore, after careful analysis, Elf Queen felt that it was very necessary for Shi Yu to contract a Courtyard Township elf to deepen the connection between the two sides.

Especially in this era of great change, having one more trump card meant one more way out. Although Shi Yu was very weak now, no matter how you looked at it, contracting a mythical race would definitely lead to him becoming a legend in the future.

"He may not be willing to contract your side's elf." Dragon God said.

Shi Yu came to Dragon Palace City and directly contracted the reincarnated body of the Spirit of the Ocean.

Now he had another mythical race pet.

Even that bug was not simple. The power of fantasy it mastered, if cultivated into a quasi-divine skill, would undoubtedly be the strongest power of rules, a creation-type, genesis-type rule with extraordinary potential.

She felt that Elf Queen was just wishful thinking.

"You don't understand this. Why do you think Lin Feng coveted the elf race? Was it because the elf race was exceptionally talented and had outstanding talent?" Elf Queen said.

The beautiful elf race, as a humanoid life, was just like the mermaids and dragon girls of Dragon Palace City, and happened to grow on human aesthetics. Sometimes, what attracted Beast Tamers was not necessarily strength and potential, but also appearance.

What's more, Elf Queen was very confident in the talent and potential of her own elves. They were a group of arrogant guys who even looked down on the local genius legendary Beast Tamers of Courtyard Township.

"Did we forget to reply to that bug?"

"It seems so."

The result of Worm's inquiry was not ideal.

After waiting near the Dragon God Palace for a while without anyone responding, Worm immediately ran back.

"Um, um!"

Worm stammered in the air and told Shi Yu.

"Are they not there?"

Shi Yu shook his head, forget it, never mind, let's just go.

When Senior Lu and the others arrived, he would gather the environmental protection group and set off!

"Are you looking for us?"

On Ocean Cleansing Island, not long after Worm returned, Elf Queen's figure appeared in the sky, startling Shi Yu and Worm.

Didn't you say you weren't here!

Worm: orz, damn it, you didn't reply to my message again.

"Your Majesty the Queen." Shi Yu immediately looked over and said, "It's nothing, it's just asking when we're setting off."

Sylphie said, "You can set off whenever you're ready."

"Also, you're a Level 6 Beast Tamer now, right?"

"Yes." Shi Yu was stunned, what's wrong?

"It shouldn't be long before you become a legendary Beast Tamer, right?"

"Well... In another year or two, it feels about right." Shi Yu conservatively estimated.

Sylphie said, "Not bad, do you have any ideas for your seventh contract slot?"

"Seventh contract slot?!" Shi Yu was stunned, what was Elf Queen asking this for?

"Well, on this trip to Courtyard Township, are you interested in contracting an elf?" Sylphie asked with a smile.

Elf!

Shi Yu was very surprised and said, "If there is a suitable candidate, of course I'm willing, but in the short term, I may not be able to contract anyone. Even if I find a suitable and favorite partner, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time."

Shi Yu's initial idea was to have one pet of each type.

Animal, plant, elemental, undead, mechanical, humanoid... Currently, it seems that he does lack a humanoid pet!

Elf, mermaid, dragon girl, angel, demon, etc. are all good choices. Now that Elf Queen took the initiative to talk to him, Shi Yu directly abandoned other options.

Elf Queen clearly valued his potential and wanted to befriend him!!!

By contracting an elf, everyone would be family!

Of course, the premise was that he could find a suitable candidate. After all, his current requirements for the first team of pets were very strict, and their positioning must be beneficial to the entire team. Shi Yu estimated that if he could become a legend in the future, he would have three contract slots left.

For the seventh pet, Shi Yu really didn't have any ideas yet. His original idea was to see what kind of star beast egg would hatch, and if it was suitable, he would contract it. If it wasn't suitable, it would be for the second team, but now, there seemed to be another option.

"These are small matters." Sylphie said, "Before contracting, just treat it as getting along. If the compatibility isn't right, there's no need to continue contracting."

"Since that's the case, I'll introduce you to a few elves when we get to Courtyard Township."
