Iron Eating Beast Research Institute.

This research institute, established for studying the evolution of the Iron Eating Beast, is currently almost abandoned.

The evolved form of the Iron Eating Beast has already been announced. Although there are a few other research projects, Panda Senior Sister took most of the research materials back to Pingcheng for study.

Currently, only three small Iron Eating Beast cubs are left here as mascots, serving as a testament to the friendly cooperation between Panda Senior Sister's family and Gudu University!

These three small Iron Eating Beasts are about the same age as when Shi Yu first took Eleven away, just one year old.

All are at the adorable age.

They are currently being taken care of by the Archeological Seven Heroes in shifts.

When Shi Yu arrived, no one happened to be there, only a Moon Silver Wolf guarding the research institute. This was Zheng Yingjie's pet.

"Awoo!!!" The Moon Silver Wolf recognized Shi Yu as the head of the research institute, turned a blind eye, and continued sleeping.

Shi Yu ignored it and went straight to the backyard amusement park for the three little Iron Eating Beasts.

"zzzz~~"

Unsurprisingly, the three little Iron Eating Beasts, having just finished lunch, were piled together, sleeping in their nest.

"Ying." Eleven poked its head out of Shi Yu's pocket.

What a lazy atmosphere!

"This is what normal Iron Eating Beasts are like."

"Who trains every day if they're a normal Iron Eating Beast?" Shi Yu thought it was perfectly normal.

Eleven in Shi Yu's pocket: ???

So I'm abnormal!

"It's not that you're abnormal, but a balance of work and rest is necessary." Shi Yu coughed. If it weren't for Ginseng Baby and skills like Absolute Sleep and Shrink, Eleven would have been ruined long ago with its relentless training.

"Hmm??" Eleven was indignant. Wasn't it working so hard to make Shi Yu the strongest Beast Tamer, so as not to betray Shi Yu's recognition and cultivation?

"Ying!" Eleven strengthened its resolve. In any case, its determination would not change!

Train hard, strive to possess the strength to help Shi Yu cope with various situations, help Shi Yu become the most powerful Beast Tamer, and ensure that Shi Yu doesn't regret choosing it!

Perhaps due to the commotion of Shi Yu and the others' arrival, the three little Iron Eating Beast cubs groggily opened their eyes.

"Ying~" "Ying~" "Ying~"

They made successive noises, then looked at Shi Yu and Eleven with watery eyes.

Shi Yu and Eleven had lived here for a long time and were naturally familiar with these three Iron Eating Beast cubs. Although not as familiar as Panda Senior Sister, they had at least fed them a few times.

Seeing them, Shi Yu smiled, as if seeing Eleven as a child.

"Do you want to become stronger?"

Upon arriving, Shi Yu immediately acted like a charlatan, using telepathy to coax them.

"Ying! (Want to become stronger!)"

Eleven also jumped down, looking at these three younger siblings.

On the way, Shi Yu had already told Eleven about the hardening assisted training method and the purpose of this visit.

"Ying~?" "Ying~?" "Ying~?"

The three Iron Eating Beast cubs looked blank. Become stronger, can you eat it?

Now, they are fed every day, eating, drinking, sleeping, and playing after waking up. What's the point of becoming stronger? They love their current lives.

Eleven: ╥﹏╥

"Awoo awoo!" Eleven looked at Shi Yu, "Are they even serious? Are they even serious?"

The Iron Eating Beast clan is looked down upon because they are so unmotivated!

Take away their benefits! Iron Eating Beasts should be raised poorly!

Three little Iron Eating Beast cubs: (っ`-´c)ﾏ

Bad bear! Go away!

Shi Yu: "..."

"Calm down... I guess it can't be changed in one generation." Shi Yu smiled.

"Alright, go enlighten them."

"Awoo!" Eleven looked at the three little Iron Eating Beasts with disappointment, jumped off Shi Yu's shoulder, and slowly grew larger. Then, it went over and grabbed one little Iron Eating Beast cub in each hand, with another in its mouth.

A moment later, Eleven began to transmit its skill to them using Hardening. Eleven's max-level Hardening quickly flowed through the three little Iron Eating Beasts, circulating once.

At this moment, the three little Iron Eating Beasts were still blank, only feeling a gentle current flowing through their bodies.

But after a few minutes, after Eleven tempered their bodies several times with Hardening material, the Iron Eating Beast cubs could clearly feel that their physique had qualitatively improved!

Moreover, one of the little Iron Eating Beasts suddenly radiated the light of awakening and leveled up, reaching Awakening Level Four!

Needless to say, it was the increased proficiency in Hardening that drove the growth.

"As expected of max-level Hardening, it's much better than the transcendent-level Hardening described by Senior Sister." Shi Yu was stunned.

At the same time.

The three little Iron Eating Beasts, who hadn't cared much about becoming stronger, were surprised when they realized that their strength had been so easily improved.

"Ying ying ying!!!" What is this?

Eleven looked calm: "Awoo! (Add points.)"

The little Iron Eating Beasts didn't understand what it meant, but after a moment of silence, they shouted in unison: "Awoo! (Big bro, add points!)"

Eleven: ???

Eleven wanted to teach them a lesson, but then realized that this was its own catchphrase, and its face fell.

What goes around comes around, no one is spared from adding points.

Beside them, Shi Yu smiled slightly, and then said, "You guys play, I'll call Senior Sister back and stop by to get a card for you, I'll be back later."

"Awoo!!" A moment later, Eleven told Shi Yu to go with peace of mind, it was going to correct the thinking of these three kids. How come they don't have the awareness of a bug!

After speaking, it began to emit the Panda King's intimidation.

One of the effects of intimidation is to make the same clan worship, fear, and follow it.

Shi Yu almost fell over, startled by Eleven's use of intimidation!

Good heavens!

I just wanted you to experiment on them, and you want to use intimidation + hardening to instill the "work hard to become stronger" mentality in them!

……

"The effect is right."

"It can indeed be done."

"Really? Haha."

"Mm-hm, talk later, tell me before you come to Gudu."

Shi Yu walked towards the Battle Club while talking on the phone with Lin Xiuzhu.

Lin Xiuzhu was very happy to learn that Shi Yu had also succeeded.

Her father had researched the Thunder Palm and Cannon Fist secret manuals, Shi Yu had found a method to evolve the Iron Eating Beast, and she had finally made some contribution to revitalizing the glory of the Iron Eating Beast.

Lin Xiuzhu had been studying the Iron Eating Beast for four years in college, all for this day.

Pingcheng.

"Shi Yu also succeeded?" Lin Hongnian asked his daughter.

"Yes." Lin Xiuzhu nodded with a smile.

"He also asked me to go to Gudu, planning to use this method to have Eleven help my Iron Eating Beast improve its Hardening."

"Dad, I think it won't be long before Xiao Hehua masters transcendent-level Hardening. Remember to prepare the evolution materials, our family should at least produce a high-level monarch race."

In this day and age, where overlord race pets are potential strategic weapons and no country has a stable breeding channel for overlord race pets, high-level monarch races are incredibly powerful for Beast Tamers.

"What, he asked you to go to Gudu? How about I go with you?" Uncle Lin Hongnian was shocked.

Eleven's Hardening level must be high, at least higher than his Jiuli War Beast, otherwise it wouldn't be able to use the Railgun and carve marks on the armor.

"Let Eleven help my War Beast too..."

Lin Xiuzhu shook her head and said, "No, according to the data results, the Hardening material of the Jiuli War Beast only has a strengthening effect on the Hardening material of the Iron Eating Beast, and has no reaction to the evolved form... Of course, you can try it if you don't believe me, but please trust my data!"

Lin Hongnian: ༼༎ຶ෴༎ຶ༽

What a sin!

Lin Hongnian regretted being the first to try it, firstly because he didn't use enough materials during the evolution, and secondly because he missed the opportunity to improve Hardening by clinging to Eleven!

……

Gudu University Battle Club.

Before Shi Yu came, he had inquired about the student card from the beast-eared senior sister.

Besides the school, the Battle Club is also qualified to issue some training cards with quotas. Shi Yu's purpose this time was to get two for Eleven and the others.

Anyway, all expenses are reimbursed by the Battle Club, might as well take them.

"I heard you brought back a sword spirit that can possess people from the Ancient Spirit Ruins?"

When Shi Yu arrived, Bai Xi gave Shi Yu the two training cards he wanted, and then said with great interest.

Because of the confidentiality agreement, she only heard that Shi Yu contracted a sword spirit, but she didn't know the source.

"Yeah, thanks." Shi Yu took the training cards and smiled slightly.

"How's the combat power after possession? Want to have a match with me?"

"Possession vs. Combination." Bai Xi licked her lips, eager to try.

Shi Yu is worthy of being the junior she is optimistic about, his fighting style is becoming more and more to her liking.

A real man should fight himself, what's the point of hiding behind pets.

"This..." Shi Yu smiled wryly, and said, "Forget it, it's only at Awakening Level Two."

Although the little sword spirit is strong, the level difference is too great. Bai Xi is a ruthless woman who can smash away monarch-level pets after combining with her pet in the National Competition. Shi Yu doesn't want to be crushed on the ground by her.

"Hurry up and cultivate it, give it more resources, the club will reimburse you." Bai Xi said.

"Okay." Shi Yu said okay, but selectively ignored it in his heart.

"Ancient spirits are very strong in life, so their growth rate is still very fast as long as the resources are in place."

"Well, if your sword spirit can reach the Commander level during the vacation, and you can contract it, besides taking you to the capital, I can also take you to another competition." Bai Xi sat down, leaned back in her chair, and stretched.

"What competition?" Shi Yu asked casually.

"A niche competition specially prepared for Beast Tamers like us who fight on our own, the Martial Arts Tournament, which was quite popular in the era of Emperor Wu." Bai Xi smiled and said, "But the rewards are very ordinary, some body-building methods, ancient sword skills, martial arts, and some body-strengthening nutrients. You probably wouldn't be interested."

Shi Yu's hand trembled, and he casually said, "Well, we'll see. Let's prepare for the Capital University exchange activity you mentioned."

"Come on, work hard." The beast-eared senior sister cheered Shi Yu on, "Go, the future of the Battle Club!"

……

In just one day, Shi Yu returned to the Iron Eating Beast Research Institute, physically and mentally exhausted, after receiving gains from three rich senior sisters.

This time, when Shi Yu came back, he silently discovered that less than an hour had passed, and the three Iron Eating Beast cubs were already training in the backyard, looking hardworking. Eleven was still encouraging them!!

Eleven suddenly realized that it was more refreshing and fulfilling to bring the misguided little guys back to the right path than to train and become stronger itself.

Shi Yu: ???

"Eleven, don't force them, they're still children."

"Ying!" "Ying!" "Ying!" Before Eleven could speak, the three Iron Eating Beast cubs, who were doing sprint training, shouted solemnly and seriously.

It's not the leader's business, they suddenly woke up.

Youth needs to be filled with enthusiasm and cannot stagnate. This is the meaning of life!

Shi Yu: ???

You're only one year old, what youth do you have? Go back and drink milk!

Eleven: (｡◕v∀v◕）Where's the training card? I want to take them to the gravity room!!!
