Weekend, the sky was clear and bright.

After leaving Dragon Palace City, Shi Yu and the others headed towards Sky Capital.

With the continuous Instant Transmission of the Gem Cat, transportation like airplanes was completely outclassed!

"Holy crap!"

Suddenly, amidst the incessant teleportations, Shi Yu exclaimed.

The Gem Cat was taken aback and slammed on the brakes, looking at Shi Yu, who was holding his phone.

"I'm driving so fast, how can you still be looking at your phone so calmly?"

"What is it this time?"

Shi Yu said, "I've discovered more big news. My Sequence ranking has jumped up a lot, reaching 11th place."

"It seems to be because of the exchange battle with Ming Hua a few days ago..."

"Hmm?" The Gem Cat paused.

Hmph, it thought it was something important.

What was there to be so surprised about for such a trivial matter? It's not like he was number one.

11th place didn't even come with an eighth-level resource reward...

"I'm just lamenting why it's 11 again..."

Shi Yu looked at the ranking, surprised. The person ahead of him was Zou Heavenly King...

Initially, Zou Heavenly King was ranked 11th, but he defeated the 10th place and successfully advanced.

So Shi Yu was now considering whether to publicly challenge Zou Heavenly King and get into the top ten for fun.

"As expected of me, I haven't even done anything, and my ranking is rising so fast," Shi Yu thought.

However, failing to directly replace Zou Heavenly King's tenth place meant that Zou Heavenly King's performance in subsequent exchange activities was even stronger than his?

Shi Yu turned his head suspiciously, looking towards the direction of Demon Capital. Was Zou Heavenly King really that strong?

At this time, inside the Dark Club in Demon Capital, in the rest room, Zou Heavenly King, who had finished the exchange activities, was lying on the bed resting. His face was pale, and he was breathing heavily. He was still physically weak.

He had been clear from the beginning that the ranking would be updated based on performance during this exchange activity. So, after seeing Shi Yu's overpowered performance, in order to prevent Shi Yu from successfully blowing him off, he had fought with all his might in subsequent battles.

Shi Yu was clearly fine, pretending to be weak, while he, on the other hand, had clearly overused his Beast Taming talent to the point of exhaustion, but pretended to be fine, which was how he managed to maintain his ranking.

"Damn it, if I don't upgrade soon, I'm going to be blown off by Shi Yu."

On the internet, the trending topics of Shi Yu and others representing Dong Huang in the exchange battle against the Ming Hua exchange group, Dong Huang's complete victory in the Ming Hua vs. Dong Huang exchange activity, and Shi Yu's Sequence ranking rising to eleventh had been trending for half a day.

Zou Yun was extremely envious. Clearly, so many people had fought with the Ming Hua Beast Tamers, but only Shi Yu was trending. He hated it.

Was this fair? Was this reasonable? Of course, Zou Yun was also clear that it was related to the fact that other people's rankings hadn't changed, while Shi Yu's ranking had increased dramatically.

And at this time, what made Zou Heavenly King the most upset was that there was also a discussion about when Shi Yu would challenge him that was about to trend... Zou Yun didn't know whether to be happy or sad that it might trend in this way later.

...

Shi Yu's Sequence ranking changes once again caused many Dong Huang Beast Tamers to fall silent.

The speed of advancement was too fast.

Like Gao Xuan of Imperial Capital University, after seeing the ranking changes, he threw himself wholeheartedly into researching new mechanical fields, intending to find another way to surpass Shi Yu with the resources from the Mechanical Assembly and come from behind.

...

At this time, the Ming Hua Beast Tamers, as stepping stones, were the most depressed.

They were all very dissatisfied with Shi Yu's ranking!!

The Dong Huang Beast Tamers... were very strong. This, they had already acknowledged. In later exchange battles, the Ming Hua contestants were still completely defeated.

Zheng Hai, the disciple of Tyrant Sea Legend, didn't need to be mentioned. He already had the strength to suppress two Ming Hua quasi-Legends, and no one could defeat a giant Kun.

And Zou Yun, although he looked gentle and refined, who would have thought that he would be even fiercer than Shi Yu when fighting, erupting with particular ferocity, as if he was fighting for his life.

That was fine, but the most tragic thing was that the Ming Hua contestants accidentally saw the video of Shi Yu in the National Competition later.

They had thought that Shi Yu's performance during the exchange competition was already his limit.

However, when they saw Shi Yu's over-hundred-meter-tall Jiuli Warbeast killing 100,000 fierce beasts with a single intimidation and displaying astonishing power in the National Competition video, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Your Iron-eating Beast wasn't like this during the exchange activity!

And the final blow against Gao Xuan, Shi Yu enduring the power of all his pets with one sword, looked much more imposing than enduring the possession of Chi Tong alone during the exchange activity. Shi Yu was fine when so many pets' powers were added to his body during the National Competition, and he could slowly eat fruit. How could he faint immediately during the exchange activity? What a scam???

After seeing these things, the Ming Hua contestants' worldview was shattered. They felt that Dong Huang was very dishonest. Seeing Dong Huang give Shi Yu this new ranking, they felt even more dishonest.

Not giving him a spot in the top ten and leaving it to confuse the exchange groups of other countries?? Insidious Dong Huang people!

...

Sky Capital.

In a large mountain called "Myriad Forms Mountain."

Surrounding the "Sky Emperor Relic" inside the mountain, it had been heavily sealed off by the Beast Taming Legion.

A temporary archaeological camp had been set up, gathering forces from all sides of Sky Capital, as well as higher-level organizations like the Eleventh Bureau.

Feng, the president of Ancient Capital University, Lu Qingyi of Ancient Capital University, Li Lianping, who specialized in fossil fields, and Chen Yuan, an archaeologist who studied ancient legendary emperors.

These big shots had all arrived at the scene.

As soon as the Sky Emperor Relic appeared, many members of the Eleventh Bureau turned their attention to it.

Unlike small relics like the Peace City Relic, the Sky Emperor Relic was of great importance and received very high-level attention.

In the camp, Lu Qingyi also discovered the updated Sequence ranking.

She silently let out a breath, looking conflicted.

At this time, she already knew what had happened during her closed-door training.

For example, Shi Yu going out to sea and destroying two overlords, Shi Yu breaking through to Totem with the Gem Cat, Shi Yu winning the national championship by himself... She knew all these things, so her mood was very complicated at this time.

Her original plan was to have Shi Yu go to university to learn something, and after graduating, be a little capable, do some hard work for her, investigate some relics, and be an archaeological assistant. How could it be that in just his freshman year, Shi Yu's archaeological achievements had surpassed her in all aspects, and even his strength had caught up with her?

Her initial plan wasn't like this!

"Senior Lu!"

"Little Qingyi~"

Lu Qingyi stood on the ground, looking at the black cross-shaped space entrance in the sky, lost in thought when suddenly, two familiar voices entered her ears, causing her to be visibly stunned.

She quickly turned her head and saw the afterimages of a person and a cat appearing not far away from her, looking at her happily.

"Shi Yu, Teacher Ying." Seeing them, Lu Qingyi was taken aback and said, "You're back from Dragon Palace City."

"Yeah." Shi Yu said, "I saw all the messages that President Feng sent me. Senior Lu, is this the entrance to the Sky Emperor Relic?"

After arriving at the scene, Shi Yu immediately looked up at the black cross-shaped space crack in the sky.

"Yes." Lu Qingyi nodded.

"No one has been able to crack it yet?" Shi Yu was surprised.

"Are the guardians really that strong?"

Lu Qingyi looked at Shi Yu with a helpless expression and said, "If you have a chance to go in, you'll know if you fight them."

...

At this time.

Inside the Sky Emperor Relic.

A top master, currently the vice president of the Beast Taming Association of Sky Capital, who was over fifty years old, was challenging the relic.

Although the Sky Emperor Relic stipulated the level, it didn't stipulate the age, so some middle-aged and elderly Beast Tamers with more experience than the young could also challenge it.

Compared to the top masters under 30 years old in the Sequence ranking, these older top masters had a stronger development of their talents and a higher degree of pet training.

The pet that this master sent out was a Floating Light Falcon, a quasi-overlord-level creature of the Light element with a normal energy value of 6 million. Under the amplification of his enhancement talent, its energy value instantly reached 14 million.

This pet was of the Light element and was known for its speed. It shuttled through the relic battlefield, with countless light and shadows weaving in the air, but beads of sweat were dripping from the forehead of the vice president of the Sky Capital Association. Standing opposite him was a transcendent life form about two meters tall, jet-black all over, similar to a mantis, with two organs like "black blades" in front of it.

Whoosh!!

The Floating Light Falcon's figure flashed past, turning into a beam of light and extending its claws to tear towards the mantis life form, but the mantis life form didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

With a light wave of its large blades, countless invisible spatial blades formed a sword domain. Under the tearing of space, accompanied by a shrill scream, all the feathers on the Floating Light Falcon's body were cut off, and it fell from the air covered in blood and flesh, causing the top master's face to turn pale instantly.

"Weak, weak, weak, next one." The mantis life form said boredly.

...

"Void Mantis, quasi-Mythical race, Space element, a pet personally cultivated by the Sky Emperor himself."

"Its position by the Sky Emperor's side is equivalent to that of the Sea Dragon King and the Butterfly God by the side of the Evolution Legend Lin Feng."

"And it's highly likely that it was a pet cultivated by the Sky Emperor after he became a Legendary Beast Tamer."

"Although this Void Mantis is only at the King level, its combat power is enough to rival some weaker overlords, and it's also the master of this relic."

"Its normal energy value exceeds 10 million, all skills below the Super level are mastered to perfection, and the proficiency of all four Super level skills is close to perfect... It's still a Space element. In a one-on-one fight, no one can win."

"This." Shi Yu was stunned. Listening to the description, he felt that even Eleven and the others would be under a lot of pressure.

Lu Qingyi slowly said to Shi Yu's side, "It is said that when the Sky Emperor was trying to explore the starry sky, he accidentally fell into an extraterrestrial secret realm. Many extraterrestrial life forms different from Blue Planet lived there. The Sky Emperor stayed there and obtained a star beast egg, which he brought back."

"At that time, the Sky Emperor's summoning slots were full, and he no longer had the idea of summoning new pets. Even for extreme-grade races like the Void Mantis, he only cultivated it as a secondary pet."

"However, the Sky Emperor valued this star beast egg very much, because the life structure of star beasts was somewhat different from that of Blue Planet's native transcendent life forms. It was a completely new life form different from animals, plants, elements, and the undead, and every star beast was ridiculously strong."

"The Sky Emperor wanted to see what kind of changes could occur between a Beast Tamer and a star beast after summoning it. At least at that time, there was no precedent for a Beast Tamer successfully summoning a cosmic life form. Therefore, the Sky Emperor sealed the egg and set up a test, intending to reward it to the genius of the dynasty."

"As long as a Beast Taming genius could defeat the Void Mantis he cultivated, they could obtain the egg and inherit the hatching and summoning methods of the star beast egg that he had summarized."

"But unfortunately, before anyone could defeat the Void Mantis, the Sky Emperor himself seemed to have fallen in the starry sky, and this challenge relic, because it was inextricably linked to the Sky Emperor himself, also underwent changes, causing the relic to self-seal, and the Void Mantis inside had to fall into a deep sleep until it was reawakened hundreds of years later."

"That's about all the information I got from challenging the Sky Emperor Relic, from that mantis. The information obtained from the Sky Emperor's pet should be more authentic than those unofficial histories and rumors, right?" Lu Qingyi shrugged.

Shi Yu opened his mouth slightly.

The Sky Emperor's secondary pet?

A star beast, cosmic life egg?

"Did the Void Mantis show anything after learning that the Sky Emperor was dead?" Shi Yu asked.

"No, because it said that the Sky Emperor wasn't dead, and the fact that the secret realm space hadn't completely collapsed was the best evidence." Lu Qingyi looked at Shi Yu with burning eyes.

"It said that it would continue to carry out its mission and wait for the Sky Emperor."

These words gave Shi Yu a jolt.

What, the Sky Emperor wasn't dead?

Although the Sky Emperor was the last emperor of the Dong Huang dynasty, he should be several hundred years old.

Even if he hadn't encountered any accidents, time would have naturally passed, and he should have died.

Unless... he was in a special place! Or, he had broken through to the Mythical level!

"The Sky Emperor Dynasty has already been destroyed, and this mantis still plans to continue carrying out the mission that the Sky Emperor left it?"

"Yes, that seems to be the case. Although this mantis is quite strong, it doesn't seem to be very smart and is quite stubborn. It should have been cultivating with the Sky Emperor since it was born and has no knowledge of the outside world, such as the Sky Emperor Dynasty." Lu Qingyi had a headache and said, "I wanted to trick the pet egg over, but it wouldn't fall for it. It insists that I win against it and follow the rules."

"In its understanding, it's within the rules. If you win against it, you can get the egg. If you don't follow the rules, it will use its identity as the master of the relic to expel those who don't follow the rules."

Shi Yu: "..."

Senior Lu, you've changed. How can you use tricks?

"I'll give it a try." Shi Yu looked at the crack in the sky.

Lu Qingyi said, "Hmm? I feel... you can't either."

Shi Yu curled his lips. Was it that you lost yourself and were unwilling to believe that others could win?

"Senior Lu, you can't, but I might be able to. By the way, Senior Lu, when are we going to battle?"

Shi Yu smiled hehe.

Lu Qingyi was instantly angry. It was too much. The little guy who was dug out more than a year ago was now challenging her?

"Let's fight later."

"Okay." Shi Yu was energetic.

However, if the opponent was the Sky Emperor's pet, it did feel difficult to deal with. Shi Yu was silent for a moment, intending to first teach Undying Golden Body to Eleven before going to take a look. Hmm, and then copy a Mythical Revival skill from senior. The more, the better.

At this time, the two suddenly noticed that the Gem Cat next to them was staring at the crack expectantly.

"Teacher Ying...?"

Gem Cat: "You said... what would a star beast egg taste like fried?"

Lu Qingyi, Shi Yu: !!

Shut up!

...

Shi Yu's arrival also alarmed President Feng and the others.

President Feng, Grandma Li who gave Shi Yu the Ginseng Baby, Dr. Chen Yuan, an archaeologist who studied ancient legendary emperors. Shi Yu also met them. These were all acquaintances. Even the usually low-key Dr. Chen Yuan had contacted Shi Yu several times to ask him about matters related to Emperor Shi and Emperor Wu. After all, Shi Yu's archaeological achievements involved these aspects. This Dr. Chen Yuan admired Shi Yu very much.

"Found it."

President Feng didn't care too much about Shi Yu's arrival, because the situation of the Sky Emperor Relic had been explored almost completely. Even Lu Qingyi couldn't defeat the Void Mantis, so he didn't expect Shi Yu to do it.

At this time, what President Feng was most pleased about was that he had initially locked onto the archaeological genius who had summoned the Sky Emperor Relic.

Five members of the Eleventh Bureau gathered in the conference room.

President Feng said with a smile, "Through some time-based transcendent skills, we have initially locked onto a Beast Tamer who is likely to have summoned the Sky Emperor Relic through prediction."

"This little girl, we want her at Ancient Capital University, Lao Li, Lao Chen, is that okay?" President Feng smiled at Grandma Li and Dr. Chen.

"Hehe, you old man is greedy." Grandma Li shook her head.

"Hehe." Dr. Chen also shook his head.

Your Ancient Capital University has Lu Qingyi, and you're already freeloading off an archaeological genius like Shi Yu. Now, another Beast Tamer with the talent to listen to the sounds of history has appeared. Do you still want her?

Lu Qingyi said, "Grandma Li, Grandpa Chen, why don't I go and contact this person? I think my experience in leading newcomers is quite rich."

Since Shi Yu's account was wasted, Lu Qingyi planned to cultivate a new account.

Grandma Li and Dr. Chen were speechless. They always felt that Lu Qingyi was unreliable, but they couldn't refute it, because Shi Yu could really be considered to have been brought out by Lu Qingyi? Although they didn't know what role Lu Qingyi had played in it...

Shi Yu sat next to them eating melon seeds.

"So who exactly is it, Lao Feng? Don't keep us in suspense." Dr. Chen urged, "It sounds like a young person?"

He revealed an envious expression.

Among these people, apart from President Feng, whose Beast Taming Space had reached level seven, the other three were at level six and had entered the relic, but they had been crushed out.

Senior Li and Senior Chen were both big shots in the Eleventh Bureau, but because they discovered their listening talent too late, they had missed the best age for meditation when they joined the Eleventh Bureau. Even with all kinds of resources poured into them later, they still hadn't reached Legend.

Not every talent for listening to history was as lucky as Lu Qingyi and Shi Yu to be discovered and cultivated early on.

Hearing that the newcomer was not old, they immediately felt that this person was extremely lucky. They had been discovered by the Eleventh Bureau so early and could receive good training. They couldn't guarantee becoming a titled Legend, but they had a high chance of becoming a Legendary level.

President Feng didn't keep them in suspense and immediately said:

"Her name is Fang Lan, a middle school student from Sky Capital. She has the talent for telepathy, and her parents are both teachers in the mechanical engineering department of Sky Capital University."

"And Fang Lan herself is a little mechanical genius. She has been cultivated as a mechanic since she was a child and is very interested in machinery. She has also won first prize in the National Middle School Mechanical Competition and is almost a genius designated by the mechanical engineering department of Sky Capital University. There is also a small chance that she will go to Star Capital University. So, it is quite difficult to persuade her to come to Ancient Capital University... After all, the mechanical engineering department of our Ancient Capital University... Qingyi, do you have confidence?"

Lu Qingyi was stunned. With such a family background, it would indeed be difficult to change her career to become an archaeologist and go to Ancient Capital University, which had a lackluster mechanical engineering department. However, not specializing in archaeology would be a waste of her talent. It would be good even if she studied both mechanical engineering and archaeology.

"Senior Lu, Senior Lu." Shi Yu said in a low voice next to her.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you need help?" Shi Yu asked quietly.

A little genius interested in machinery? Wasn't this easy to coax?

Give her a ride on a Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex, and wouldn't she come to Ancient Capital University happily? When Ancient Capital University's mechanical engineering department establishes a mechanical phantom beast major, even her parents will have to come and jump ship...
