"Time?"

Shi Yu followed up with the question.

He figured he'd take a dip in the hot spring before challenging the ruins.

Otherwise, if he cleared the ruins too early, and Icefield City didn't activate the Holy Spring, he'd be at a great loss.

Of course, that was just his thought. If this ruin was truly important and he conquered it, he could soak in the Holy Spring for as long as he wanted, until his skin peeled.

"The time is roughly one week later, after all, we need to give the other associations ample time to choose their candidates."

President Feng paused slightly before continuing, "I wonder what kind of Beast Tamers they will bring..."

To be honest, President Feng wasn't very confident.

Although Shi Yu's talent was monstrous, what if some second-generation tamer popped up with a pet contracted with a commander-level species from the start? That would be troublesome.

He hadn't paid much attention to the situation of the rookies in other districts and counties for some time. He really couldn't say what the situation had been in the past year.

He only knew that Cheng Gong wasn't the most outstanding in their school, only considered among the top tier.

But it wasn't a big problem. The Holy Spring resource was all about absorption efficiency. Even if you weren't the first to use it, the effect might not be much different.

President Feng gave himself a pep talk in advance.

"So, I have a week to prepare."

"Yes, prepare well. Pingcheng Association will allocate 1 million yuan in cash resources to you first."

"For subsequent resources, you can apply directly if you need anything."

President Feng took a sip of goji berry water.

1 million!

Shi Yu's eyes lit up. Although it wasn't a lot, it wasn't little either.

At least the cost of tonics consumed during this period could be directly compensated.

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded.

"Hehe, then I won't disturb you."

"It's a pity that Old Lin isn't here during this time, otherwise he could have given you some temporary guidance."

"Although I haven't cultivated an Iron-Eating Beast, you can come directly to me if you have any questions."

President Feng shook his head and put down his water cup.

"Okay." Although he didn't need guidance, Shi Yu still thanked him.

He didn't have any special requests. He just wanted President Feng to bring out all his pets for him to feast his eyes on.

Next, President Feng left.

After Shi Yu saw him off, he fell into thought in the yard.

He had another week to add points...

In order to be safe and strive to let Eleven soak in a hot spring, he should work overtime.

...

A week passed quickly when you had a goal.

Apart from going to the Zhushi Martial Arts Hall a few times, he had been staying at home cultivating hard.

After going to the Martial Arts Hall a few more times, Shi Yu learned that the head of the hall, Lin Hongnian, and Senior Lin Xiuzhu were no longer in Pingcheng...

The former was on a mission, while the latter seemed to have returned to her alma mater to handle some matters.

No wonder no one came to be shocked and ask questions after the news of his mastery of combination skills spread. They weren't around, how boring!

Without many acquaintances nearby, Shi Yu's life was tasteless and monotonous, cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate again.

In the blink of an eye, it was a week later.

Eleven's attributes had undergone earth-shaking changes.

[Name]: Iron-Eating Beast

[Attribute]: Metal

[Growth Level]: Awakening Level Seven

[Skills]: Hardening (Proficient +4), Thunder Palm (Proficient), High-Speed Healing (Proficient), Super Vision (Proficient), Intimidation (Proficient), Absolute Sleep (Skilled), Multiplication (Skilled)

From this terrifying panel, one should be able to see how hard Shi Yu had worked.

Compared to a week ago, the skills that had changed significantly were four:

High-Speed Healing, Super Vision, Intimidation, Multiplication!

Their effects had also changed more or less.

Compared to the Skilled level of High-Speed Healing, the Proficient level of High-Speed Healing completely reflected the word "High-Speed."

As long as enough energy was consumed, even the biggest injuries, within the curable range, could be instantly restored.

Secondly, there was Super Vision. Compared to the Skilled level, the Proficient level of Super Vision could achieve 360-degree blind spot detection.

At the same time, it could easily see through illusions of the same level.

With this, Eleven would be invincible on the battlefield even with his back to the enemy.

Reaching this milestone, Shi Yu felt that Eleven's cosplay was a complete success.

Observation Haki: Super Vision!

Armament Haki: Hardening!

Conqueror's Haki: Intimidation!

He couldn't become the Pirate King, but he was definitely the king of the panda family.

In seven days, Eleven's Intimidation skill had also reached the Proficient level.

This was currently its only Proficient level high-level skill.

It was just that the upper limit hadn't had time to be tested. The Green Silkworm was too weak.

However, Shi Yu and Eleven tentatively estimated that as long as the opponent was in the Awakening stage, even Awakening level ten, they might not be able to withstand Proficient level Intimidation.

After all, Intimidation mainly carried out spiritual intimidation.

And Eleven, who had Intimidation and Super Vision leveled up to Proficient and Absolute Sleep leveled up to Skilled, had been given a lot of mental power feedback. No one could say what level his mental power had reached.

As for Skilled level Multiplication, the improvement could only be described as mediocre.

In the shrunk state, Eleven's height could be reduced to 25 centimeters, ridiculously small, and the combat power was also ridiculously weakened, but it was quite cute. It seemed okay to put it on the body.

In the multiplied state, Eleven, who was originally one meter tall, could become a four-meter tall giant Iron-Eating Beast, with an astonishing increase in strength, but also an astonishing consumption.

At least the current Eleven couldn't maintain it for long and wasn't suitable for combat.

In general, it was still too lacking in mana.

Let's see if this trip to the Holy Spring can change Eleven's mana deficiency.

...

August 16th.

On this day of departure to Icefield City South District, where the Holy Spring was located, it was President Feng who came to pick up Shi Yu in person.

Next, the two of them would go to the destination together.

"How's your rest?" In the car, President Feng squinted his eyes and observed Shi Yu through the window with a strange expression.

Why did he feel that after a week, Shi Yu's mental state wasn't as good as he had imagined? Had he not rested well?

Could it be that he had been training hard for a week because of his words?

What did it mean to be a genius! President Feng's eyes welled up with tears.

With both talent and hard work, how could the city's development not be good if Pingcheng had more Beast Tamers like this?

"Not bad."

Shi Yu gave a thumbs up to show that there was no problem.

After saying that, he opened the car door and got into the car.

President Feng was in the front passenger seat, and he was sitting in the back. As for the driver... it was President Feng's female secretary.

President is so good.jpg.

"Don't be nervous. With your talent and strength, you are an elite even in a big city!"

"The rookies from other districts and counties who are competing with you for the Evolutionary Holy Spring are not necessarily as good as you."

President Feng was quite confident, mainly because Shi Yu was indeed very outstanding.

Shi Yu: "I'm not nervous. They should be the ones who are nervous."

President Feng and the female secretary: ??

Good fellow, that's quite the ego.

Before noon that day, Shi Yu and President Feng arrived at Icefield City South District.

As a city district, it was much better developed than Pingcheng's suburbs.

Coincidentally, the school Shi Yu attended and the place where he interned were in this district and county.

This wasn't the first time Shi Yu had come to the Beast Tamer Association in South District. It was still as grand and magnificent as before.

Inside the huge building complex, President Feng and Shi Yu didn't seem to have arrived early. After all, Pingcheng District was relatively far away...

Therefore, before they arrived, the association presidents of the other eight districts and counties, as well as the representatives of their respective districts and counties, had already arrived here.

It could be said that this place was currently a gathering of big shots and rookie elites from Icefield.

But Shi Yu suddenly remembered... Eleven seemed to like fighting elites!
