"Let's try using other props to see if we can engrave it."

Dean Hao and the others became interested.

They thought the Iron-eating Beast's first evolution was the end, but it seems that, just as Shi Yu said, there are other secrets hidden within the Iron-eating Beast!

"I can help."

A small summoning array appeared in Dean Hao's palm.

He reached out and pulled out a hilt-like prop, and then a faint yellow laser suddenly surged from the hilt.

[Name]: Laser Sword

[Attribute]: Mechanical, Light

[Race Level]: High Commander

[Introduction]: Man-made lightsaber life.

"Damn, that's so cool."

Looking at Dean Hao wielding the laser sword, Zheng Yingjie and the other boys widened their eyes, their saliva almost drooling.

Isn't this more exciting than a beast-eared girl?

As expected of a top mechanic, he really knows how to have fun, actually contracting a lightsaber.

Shi Yu glanced sideways, good fellow, there are actually mechanical lives like this.

He's quite curious now, if a Beast Tamer has a fusion talent and contracts a lightsaber, will there be any need for other pets?

Envy.

"Are you going to use this to engrave?" Lin, the curator, nodded when he saw Dean Hao offering to help.

"Okay, thank you."

The Iron-eating Beast looked at the laser sword with a confused expression: ???

It feels okay to do it itself, but using swords and blades is a bit too much!

"Don't worry, it won't hurt." Dean Hao laughed.

"Awoo..." The newly evolved Iron-eating Beast was still a little apprehensive, but it nodded while enduring the pain.

Then, under the flashing sword light, this time, the laser sword left a mark on the Iron-eating Beast's armor without any obstruction.

The mark was a special symbol on the metal plate.

This time, during the process of engraving the symbol, neither the Iron-eating Beast nor the laser sword felt any obstruction.

But similarly, after engraving the symbol, the Iron-eating Beast didn't change at all.

This couldn't help but make everyone think.

So, the key point now is indeed the rejection between hardening and the armor.

Next, Curator Lin directed the Iron-eating Beast to make several more attempts.

No matter what they did, the results were still the same.

"Now it seems that the symbol shouldn't be as simple as a tribe's war emblem or logo."

"If we just wanted to engrave a war emblem, we could do it like Dean Hao, by engraving it with other objects."

"And according to my investigation, this special symbol should be engraved by the Iron-eating Beast itself using its hardened claws."

"Since it's so difficult for the Iron-eating Beast to engrave marks on itself, why are they still so determined to engrave this symbol on their bodies?"

Shi Yu crossed his arms, still wanting to know what this symbol represents.

"Awoo!!!" Curator Lin's Iron-eating Beast also became obsessive-compulsive.

It tried hard to leave a mark on itself, but it just couldn't do it.

Curator Lin himself was also troubled, what was going on.

Originally, the Iron-eating Beast's evolution and awakening of a new racial skill was double the happiness.

Why is there now such an unclear point that makes the old man very uncomfortable.

Shi Yu's words sparked a discussion among everyone.

"No matter how you look at it, this is another new problem..." Director Li pondered.

Discovering the Iron-eating Beast's first evolution method through the metal plate seems to be just the tip of the iceberg of this ruin.

Next, what needs to be explored is the secret of the Iron-eating Beast's evolved form and the secret of the inscription.

No wonder Shi Yu said this ruin was not simple.

The Iron-eating Beast evolving into a monarch race is just the starting point of research?

Curator Lin Hongnian's mouth twitched and said, "Isn't it really like Shi Yu said, it requires race skills with proficiency above the transcendent level?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "This kind of thing definitely cannot be determined at present, but it is not ruled out as a possibility."

"The Iron-eating Beast has just evolved, and there must be many secrets on its body. If you want to completely determine it, you still have to explore step by step."

"Otherwise, how about everyone forming an Iron-eating Beast research team to study together?"

Shi Yu suggested that he himself would study the transcendent-level proficiency route, while other possibilities would be explored by Panda Senior and Curator Lin.

Clear division of labor!

It is normal for a new pet race to appear with a large amount of unknown data.

The tens of thousands of biological data known to human Beast Tamers have also been explored and researched by predecessors bit by bit.

At present, the Iron-eating Beast's evolved form has just been born, and it is not surprising that there are unsolved mysteries on its body.

Shi Yu himself definitely doesn't have the energy to conduct a complete exploration, but Curator Lin should have plenty of energy in this regard, after all, he is a true lover.

Instructor Ding said, "Okay, count me in? Actually, we are already very lucky."

"At least, we discovered an exploration route just after it evolved."

Director Li also said, "I'm also very curious."

"Curator Lin, would you like to cooperate with Gudu University to study the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast?"

"You are too polite."

Curator Lin said, "I should be thanking you for being able to help."

Dean Hao laughed and said, "Then count me in too."

In a few words, several master-level Beast Tamers decided to explore the secrets of the Iron-eating Beast's evolved form together.

Panda Senior and the Seven Heroes of Archeology were on the side, unable to interrupt at all.

Their seniority was too low, and they felt like they couldn't help much.

"Forget it, let's put the inscription aside for now and study it later. This shouldn't be something that can be explored clearly overnight. By the way, shouldn't the Iron-eating Beast have a new race name after evolving?"

"This is the most critical thing at the moment..."

It is a tradition to change to a new race name after a pet completes racial evolution.

Although the Iron-eating Beast can still return to its original form by relying on its skills after evolving, it is no longer appropriate to call it an Iron-eating Beast.

"If you want to announce a new evolved form, you do need a new name." Dean Hao nodded.

Curator Lin looked at Shi Yu and said, "How about giving Shi Yu the naming rights?"

Although his Iron-eating Beast was the first to complete the evolution, it seems that Shi Yu is the most suitable person to name the Iron-eating Beast's evolved form.

After all, Shi Yu provided the evolution method this time.

"Me??" Shi Yu was stunned.

Although the person who names it will become famous, he is terrible at naming.

Are they really going to let him do it?

"Do you have any ideas?" Panda Senior became interested when naming was mentioned.

Shi Yu fell into deep thought and said, "Armed Iron-eating Beast? Armored Iron-eating Beast? Armor Iron-eating Beast? Mega Iron-eating Beast? Primal Reversion Iron-eating Beast?"

Everyone: "..."

Curator Lin: "Let's all think together."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Master Lin's Iron-eating Beast and Eleven also nodded.

For the future reputation of the Iron-eating Beast race, it's better not to give this arduous task to Shi Yu.

Shi Yu was helpless, hey, just call it Giant Panda or Panda King, it's all good except that it's a bit out of character.

"How about Metal-eating Beast, after all, the price of evolving once is not small."

At this time, Curator Lin finally realized a bit of heartache.

He seemed to have spent a lot of money this time, and this name is very artistic.

"That doesn't sound good."

Lin Xiuzhu was the first to object, and wasn't that her dowry?

"Iron Devourer?"

"Iron-eating Monarch?"

"Steel Behemoth?"

"..."

Everyone offered names, but the more they discussed, the more outrageous they became.

Shi Yu then realized that he was not the only one who was terrible at naming.

The names these people came up with didn't seem as good as his own.

"Forget it, let me do it."

At this time, after careful consideration, Shi Yu had another suggestion.

"The Iron-eating Beast's appearance after evolution is a change from its previous gluttonous and lazy image, so now it must be replaced with a name that matches its temperament. How about War Beast, a war beast born specifically for war and battle, and then add a prefix before War Beast."

"We found nine special symbols in this ruin, which may be related to the Iron-eating Beast, and the color of the alloy they used for evolution is black, and the word 'Li' also has the meaning of black, so how about calling it 'Jiuli War Beast'?"

Jiuli War Beast?

Hearing Shi Yu say this, everyone was stunned. It's true that in terms of temperament, it feels like it matches the armored Iron-eating Beast.

"Although it's a bit straightforward and far-fetched, it sounds pretty good?" Master Curator Lin nodded.

It's better than the Armed Iron-eating Beast Shi Yu said before...

"..." Shi Yu smiled, this is not straightforward, but has great meaning!

Jiuli was the tribe of Chiyou, the Lord of War. Legend has it that the Iron-eating Beast was Chiyou's mount. Calling the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast the Jiuli War Beast was purely to commemorate the myths and legends of Earth.

In addition, it is also equivalent to hoping that the Iron-eating Beasts in this world can really have mythical potential.

"If you can't think of a better-sounding one, then let's use this one." Panda Senior stroked her chin and pondered, isn't there a cuter name?

"Not yet, pending, pending."

Everyone discussed it and felt that the name Jiuli War Beast was feasible, but there was no rush to name it. That would be after the evolved form was announced. The application process alone would probably take at least a few months.

In this world, Beast Tamers have two choices for evolution methods.

One is to regard the evolution method as their own thing and pass it on in the form of a family or master-disciple relationship, without making it public.

Generally, this kind of evolution method is explored by individuals.

The other is to directly disclose the evolution method to the country, apply for a patent, and become the honorary evolution planner of this evolution route in exchange for fame and benefits.

90% of the Beast Tamers who master the evolution knowledge choose the former, and a few Beast Tamers choose the latter.

Most of those who choose the latter monopolize certain evolutionary resources or pets, which can bring greater benefits.

Or, they are experts who work for the state.

Whether it is the Eleven Bureau or Gudu University, they are obviously state institutions. This time, exploring the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast is the result of everyone's joint efforts and must be announced.

At that time, once the Iron-eating Beast's evolved form paper is published, Shi Yu, Curator Lin, and Gudu University will all gain huge fame and benefits.

Especially Shi Yu, who determined the evolution method. At his age, he is estimated to instantly become a rising star in the archaeological research field.

"It seems that I have to stay in Gudu for a while..." Curator Lin sighed.

The process of applying for an evolution patent is very complicated, and they will probably be busy next.

"I'll leave this matter to you." Shi Yu smiled slightly and said, "I have no experience, so I won't interfere, and the matter of studying the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast will also be handed over to you first."

Everyone: ???

Aren't you the highest person in charge of this project?

What does it mean, are you going to let go and be a hands-off shopkeeper?

"There are still three months until the professional assessment, and I haven't even reached the passing line for registration yet. I plan to practice seriously for a while..."

"Otherwise, I feel like I have to wait until next year."

Shi Yu gave a reason, but more of the reason was that he wanted to go back and explore the proficiency above the transcendent level.

This is a big project, and it is also a relatively important research route... He needs to have enough time to rest and recuperate, and he also needs to meditate to improve his Beast Taming level, so he can't spare any time to study the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast with everyone.

It is more suitable for him to directly wait for the existing research results and gains.

"Uh, professional assessment?"

Director Li and the others were stunned. They almost forgot that Shi Yu was still a trainee Beast Tamer.

"It doesn't matter, personal development is the most important thing." Curator Lin nodded.

Shi Yu's little Iron-eating Beast is still very, very far from evolving. Investing energy in studying the evolved form so early is indeed not as important as improving himself. Let him take care of the research for now.

Curator Lin felt that when Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast reached the evolution standard, he should also be able to plan the most perfect evolution method for Shi Yu.

He had to thank Shi Yu for the successful evolution of the Iron-eating Beast, and the best way to thank him was to help Shi Yu improve this evolution route and provide convenience for Shi Yu to use it in the future.

"The professional assessment is once a year, and missing it will indeed have a relatively large impact."

"And if you take the normal enrollment route, a professional identity is also necessary..."

After Shi Yu confirmed that he wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and concentrate on preparing for the professional assessment, everyone had no objections, and even agreed very much.

Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by the following things.

"Dean Hao, is there a suitable battle arena here? I want to see the current strength of the Iron-eating Beast." Curator Lin said expectantly.

Dean Hao laughed and said that he understood, "Of course there is."

"Not only you, we also want to see, let's go."

...

Inside the Mechanical Academy, Dean Hao activated a technological steel battle arena for Curator Lin to use.

And Curator Lin, in addition to the Iron-eating Beast already present, also summoned his true trump card in name, a monarch-level pet that helped him become a master-level Beast Tamer, the Vajra Ape King.

"Monkey, the Iron-eating Beast has finally evolved."

"Come, you come and test its strength."

"Wait, don't fight, don't move first, try its attack power first."

Vajra Ape King: ?

On the field, the huge golden-haired Ape King who appeared fell into deep thought.

Looking at the majestic and domineering Armed Iron-eating Beast with its expensive armor, it suddenly understood that this day had finally come.

The feelings faded, didn't they?

The trump card was going to be replaced, wasn't it?

The later ones are ultimately not as good as the original ones, aren't they?
