Shi Yu looked at the creature before him, his mood quite subtle.

The creature before him had a strong body seemingly made of ice and stone, the colors a mix of ice blue and deep purple, as if representing extreme cold.

Not only its body, but also its neck, head, long tail, sharp claws, fangs, four powerful legs, and a pair of wings, all had the texture of ice and stone. The scales exuded coldness, surrounded by swirling wind and snow, truly deserving of the name Ice Dragon.

"Roar!!!!!"

In the distant expanse, the newly formed Ice Dragon roared, its wings flapping.

During its roar, the Ice Dragon glanced over with its deep eyes, its sparse ice-blue whiskers fluttering in the wind, exuding a majestic aura.

But the problem was…

"It's so damn small."

Shi Yu looked at this "dragon" that was just over two meters tall, feeling like he had wandered into the set of a Pokémon movie.

You call yourself a dragon, but even if your title is impressive and your appearance is domineering, if your size doesn't match, it just feels a bit lacking.

The tiger is the king of beasts, right? But what's the difference between a little tiger and a cat!

After careful observation, Shi Yu determined from its size that this was clearly a shrunken version of an Ice Dragon.

Because orthodox dragons were almost never less than ten meters tall, with a rather spectacular size. Just with their physical strength, without using any skills, they could slaughter many creatures!

The title of the strongest race was naturally justified.

"This guy is still an illusion!"

In just an instant, Shi Yu made his judgment. This Ice Dragon was not a real lifeform, because his telepathy was useless!

Like the creatures from the previous five levels, it was just an illusion formed from ice elemental energy!

No… there was still something different. Although this Ice Dragon wasn't alive, it felt very real to Shi Yu, giving him a strange feeling he couldn't quite explain.

Whatever it was, there was no time for Shi Yu to figure it out now, because the guardian of the sixth level seemed to be this guy.

At this moment, the Ice Dragon released a strong Dragon Might towards Eleven!!!

The Dragon Might, like a cold wind, was no weaker than the Intimidation skill. It was a deterrent ability exclusive to the Dragon race!!

"Roar!!!!!"

Under the dragon's roar, the Ice Dragon emitted astonishing fluctuations of aura. The materialized aura seemed to turn into ice and snow, freezing the very air.

Shi Yu's heart was pounding, and while he felt danger, he couldn't bear to take his eyes off this beautiful creature.

"Awoo!!!"

At this moment, facing this terrifying Dragon Might, Eleven stood in front of Shi Yu, fully unleashing his mastered Intimidation skill to confront the Ice Dragon's Dragon Might head-on. With a "boom," the two auras collided as if the space itself was crashing together, enveloping the entire icy plain in the impact of this aura!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under the collision of the two auras, surprisingly, the Dragon Might, a variation of the Intimidation skill, was slightly inferior to the Panda King's Intimidation, almost being suppressed!

"I can fight it!!!"

At this moment, Shi Yu shouted.

Although it was a dragon, like the previous ones, the strength of this Ice Dragon, being an illusion, was limited to a certain extent!

Facing Eleven, whose skill attributes were absurd, it might not have much of an advantage!

[Name]: Ice Dragon (Phantom)

[Attribute]: Dragon, Ice

[Race Level]: ???

[Growth Level]: Awakening Level Ten

[Skills]: ???

So, this ruin was using the Ice Dragon phantom on the snowy mountain to test the clansmen?

How interesting!

Shi Yu's eyes lit up with excitement. Sensing Shi Yu's inner thoughts, the little Iron-Eating Beast Eleven also looked at its opponent fiercely.

"Awoo!!!"

This was a dragon!!

In the natural world, they were known as the strongest creatures.

Any slightly orthodox dragon had a race level no lower than the Monarch tier, and they were basically Overlord races. Dragons were also the subject of the most legends among mythical creatures!

Even among the subspecies of dragons, many had race levels above the Monarch tier, which showed just how superior this race was!

At this moment, Eleven's blood was boiling, and it had the thought of tearing a dragon apart.

It couldn't bully a real dragon, but couldn't it bully a phantom to enjoy itself?

Immediately, Eleven's aura completely suppressed the Ice Dragon, causing the Ice Dragon to roar in anger and fly over with its wings!

"Roar!!!"

As the Ice Dragon flew, it raised its dragon claw, which was surrounded by frost and cold air. It used the most basic ice-type skill, Ice Cleaving Claw.

"Awoo!!"

Eleven also rushed forward at this time, bending its arm back, its palm first covered in metallic substance, followed by lightning-like blue-white electricity, forming the sharpest Lightning Spear.

Zzzzzzzzz!!!

The combination skill of Perfect Hardening and Mastered Lightning Palm!

The Ice Dragon, on the other hand, was only using the single mid-tier skill, Ice Cleaving Claw!

Thanks to its super dynamic vision, Eleven clearly saw the enemy's movements. Just as the two were about to collide on the icy plain, Eleven narrowly dodged the Ice Cleaving Claw, causing the Ice Dragon to tear empty air, while its Hardened Lightning Palm pierced fiercely into the Ice Dragon's body!!

"Roar!!!!!"

Shi Yu and Eleven were both waiting for the Ice Dragon's pained roar. However, what happened next stunned them.

The super combination skill of Perfect Hardening and Mastered Lightning Palm, which Shi Yu and Eleven had worked hard for half a month to add points to, a combination skill just one stage away from the Domain of Truth, only left subtle, almost imperceptible, thread-like marks on the Ice Dragon's scales. The Ice Dragon seemed completely unaffected, directly resisting with its physical body.

At this moment, Eleven itself felt its Perfect Hardening collapsing, as if its Perfect Hardening skill was not as strong as the Ice Dragon's simple physical strength.

In addition, the lightning that should have spread throughout the Ice Dragon's body was instantly frozen by the cold air flowing from the cracked scales the moment it hit the Ice Dragon.

The cold air spread, even starting to corrode Eleven's arm!

Eleven: w(ﾟДﾟ)w Eek!!!!

Eleven, whose battles had always been smooth sailing, had never seen such a situation before and was instantly frightened.

"What the hell!!!" Shi Yu, as the Beast Tamer, was also dumbfounded at this time, completely unprepared for this situation.

This was unscientific!!!

It was usually the evaluation that others placed on Shi Yu and Eleven, but this time, Shi Yu himself wanted to say it.

Is this Awakening Level Ten?

Boom!!!

The previous exchange, as well as the psychological activities of Eleven and Shi Yu, all happened in an instant. Although Eleven had dodged one of the Ice Dragon phantom's Ice Cleaving Claws with its super vision, Eleven, whose arm was now frozen and whose reaction speed had decreased due to being surrounded by cold air, failed to dodge the second attack!

However, although it failed to dodge the attack, it still managed to quickly cover its entire body with Hardening, using the properties of high-speed flow in extremely dangerous circumstances, to meet the Ice Dragon's next attack.

The Ice Dragon's tail swept over, not using a skill, but simply sweeping with its physical strength, directly sending the fully Hardened Eleven flying, knocking it dozens of meters away.

During the backward flight, due to the huge impact, Eleven was forced to exit the Hardened state, directly returning to its normal state and being knocked to the ground, rolling for a long time before stopping.

At this moment, although he didn't know the Ice Dragon's specific race level yet, Shi Yu finally understood why dragons were called the strongest creatures.

In almost the same level of situation, this Ice Dragon seemed to be able to suppress Eleven with its terrifying physical qualities without even using skills…

"Eek, eek, eek."

At this time, although Eleven had been suppressed miserably, it was not so weak.

Hardening had still successfully helped it resolve this attack. It was just a pity that there wasn't enough time for Eleven to concentrate all the Hardening material on the area being attacked, otherwise it might not have been injured in the face of this attack.

Right now, Eleven quickly got up, and its minor injuries were instantly healed by its rapid healing. It looked at the Ice Dragon fiercely again.

Unconvinced.

Eleven was extremely unconvinced in its heart.

Not to mention Eleven, Shi Yu was also very unhappy right now.

The Panda King that he had painstakingly cultivated by working overtime was actually directly beaten up by an Ice Dragon, or rather, an Ice Dragon phantom, without using any skills?

It was clear that the Intimidation had gained a slight upper hand against the Dragon Might just now…

Even a level ten Overlord creature cub wouldn't be this fierce, right!

As for whether the Ice Dragon was a mythical creature, there was no need to even think about it. It was impossible. Mythical creatures had long disappeared during that historical period.

"Eleven, under normal circumstances, it seems like we can't beat it."

"We can only take a gamble and go all in."

"If we still can't beat it, we can only run away and come back after we've added points for a month."

Faced with this situation, Shi Yu immediately judged that they couldn't use a normal fighting style.

Eleven seemed to understand the Beast Tamer's meaning and nodded emphatically.

"Roar!!!!!"

The next moment, the Ice Dragon turned its head, locked its gaze on Eleven, and condensed a terrifying Frost Breath in its mouth!

Another basic ice-type skill!

As the strongest dragon race, it was impossible for the Ice Dragon not to have mastered high-level and super-level skills, but it had only used low-level and mid-level skills so far, and it had already given Shi Yu and Eleven a huge sense of oppression, causing them a headache.

Sorry, Ice Dragon Daddy, I shouldn't have laughed at your small size just now. It's all essence…

However!

Swish!!!

The Frost Breath, condensed like ice light, shot towards Eleven, freezing everything in its path. Eleven quickly rolled and ran to dodge it, aiming to get closer to the Ice Dragon.

With the help of super vision, it was relatively easy to dodge the skills. Soon, it arrived near the Ice Dragon.

At this time, the Ice Dragon also canceled the Frost Breath, flapped its wings, and swung its Ice Cleaving Claw at Eleven again!

"Awoo!!!"

On the ground, Eleven looked at the Ice Dragon fiercely. With a "buzz," its body quickly expanded to eight or nine meters tall. At the same time, an even more astonishing Intimidation was emitted. This change directly stunned the Ice Dragon, causing its movements to become sluggish.

This hesitation was the key to determining the victory.

The giant Iron-Eating Beast Eleven raised a fully concentrated and superimposed Hardening, combined with a Lightning Palm of maximum power, and directly smashed down this attack that consumed all its stamina!

Mastered Intimidation control + Mastered Multiplication amplification output + Perfect Hardening amplification output + Mastered Lightning Palm output!

This attack was Eleven's limit at the moment, all its power gathered on its palm, and this smash instantly became a super killing move that pierced through everything!

Boom!!!!

With Shi Yu and Eleven's hearts raised to the extreme, this time, no accident occurred. The Ice Dragon was finally completely broken through by Eleven's attack, and its entire body was directly pierced and cut in half by this huge Hardened Lightning Palm combination skill!

Truly tearing a dragon apart with its hands!

Thump!

After completing this attack, Eleven deflated like a leaky balloon, quickly shrinking from its giant state to a trinket state of a dozen centimeters.

The miniature Eleven sat on the frozen ground, panting as it looked at the dissipating Ice Dragon phantom, feeling only incredulity.

So strong…

Dragons are really so strong…

Eleven couldn't help but clench its small fist. Its efforts were still far from enough. From now on, it would use dragons as a reference!

When it had trained its physical body to the point where it could rival a dragon without using skills, then it would be initially qualified!

Before Eleven could finish swearing, it suddenly noticed that something seemed to have appeared below where the Ice Dragon phantom had dissipated.

"Are you okay, Eleven?"

At this time, Shi Yu also ran over quickly. He was also panting, his body was still weak. His mental fortitude as a Beast Tamer was not good enough. The battle just now had completely frightened him, and he was afraid that Eleven would lose.

Putting this thing on the sixth level of this ruin, were they really trying to let people pass?

If Eleven didn't have so many skills, if it had even one less, it would probably have been directly crushed.

"Eek." Eleven shook its head to indicate that it was okay. It weakly pointed forward, telling Shi Yu to quickly go and see what it was.

"I almost forgot." Shi Yu then remembered that there seemed to be a reward for passing the level!

After throwing some restorative food to Eleven, he immediately walked forward, looked at the area below the dissipated Ice Dragon phantom, and then fell slightly silent.

On the broken icy ground, a slender ice-blue hair, resembling an Ice Dragon's whisker, lay there quietly.

"This is… an Ice Dragon's hair?" Shi Yu was stunned.

He took out gloves and some essential exploration tools from his backpack, and gently picked up the hair. Nothing unusual happened.

After observing it, he silently put away this top-quality material.

In addition to that, there was also a shell.

Inside the shell was a gray stone bead.

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, then recklessly reached out his hand towards the shell.

However, the shell seemed to be a phantom, directly passing through the gloves, and even through Shi Yu's hand.

The next second, the shell phantom gradually dissipated, and the stone bead fell to the ground.

Crap, what's going on?

Then, Shi Yu didn't pick up the stone bead, but stood there in a daze.

Because, at the moment when his body touched the shell phantom or not, his Skill Encyclopedia talent gave him a hint.

After a long time, Shi Yu [Confirmed Recording].

The five new pages added to the Skill Encyclopedia after contracting Eleven were now completely filled.

On the tenth page of the encyclopedia, an image of a shell-like creature [Overlord Grade: Dream Shell] appeared.

Below it was a pile of text.
