Outside the Spirit Remains, all was silent.

Under the students' shocked gazes, Eleven slowly shrank from its giant beast form, returning to its usual self.

At this moment, Yu Shu and the others felt complicated as they watched Eleven's transformation.

They originally thought that Shi Yu's performance during the club assessment was his limit.

They originally thought that his trump card had briefly been replaced by Ginseng Baby…

But they never expected that Shi Yu simply wasn't taking the club assessment seriously.

His trump card had never been deployed from beginning to end.

He shattered their worldviews with just a new pet.

"Can we just not compete?"

Starting from the Survival Trial, after countless blows, Yu Shu completely lost his fighting spirit.

Even with his talent advantage, he didn't know how to compete anymore.

A sword spirit of a high-level overlord race!

This almost guaranteed that Shi Yu would become a legend.

This guy, getting the recognition of General Binglong's spirit, was just unbelievably lucky.

However, Yu Shu couldn't even feel jealous at this point because even if he were given the chance, he probably wouldn't have been able to pass the trial Shi Yu just went through.

Not only was Shi Yu's pet ridiculously strong, but he himself was also ridiculously strong.

Yu Shu even suspected that Shi Yu had planned the summoning of General Binglong's spirit himself.

Everyone had heard their conversation; it was clear that they both knew the same pet, Binglong.

"Shi Yu!" "Shi Yu!"

When everyone reacted, they saw that a metal-eating beast was still standing on all fours on the altar.

And Shi Yu wasn't riding on it anymore; instead, he was hanging on Eleven's back like a bow-shaped ornament, with his eyes closed, not looking conscious at all.

"Yi!!"

Besides Shi Yu, there was also a Ginseng Baby on the metal-eating beast, diagnosing Shi Yu's condition.

After a moment, Ginseng Baby concluded: Shi Yu was just too weak and had fallen asleep.

It condensed a nutrient-rich tendril, pried open Shi Yu's mouth, and let him hold it, feeling that it was about right.

As for Shi Yu's injuries, the metal-eating beast and Ginseng Baby had already used high-speed healing to make them completely invisible in an instant.

"What happened to him!"

At that moment, Director Li and others rushed onto the altar in a panic, looking at the collapsed Shi Yu, their bodies trembling wildly. Nothing could happen to Shi Yu now.

"Ying, zzzz~~"

Eleven closed its eyes and pretended to snore, using its acting skills to tell everyone Shi Yu's condition.

He was sleeping, so keep it down.

Everyone: "…"

"The Soul Seed has already merged into his body, right?" Director He looked at Shi Yu's side.

"It should be," Examiner Feng nodded.

"I wonder when it will hatch."

The Spirit Soul Seed was a very magical thing; no one could hatch or contract it except for the person it recognized.

It was basically bound to a certain beast tamer once it was formed.

It would merge into the beast tamer's body, waiting to hatch. Even if it wasn't contracted after hatching, it would protect the beast tamer like a guardian spirit.

Therefore, the Spirit was very different from other pets; it was difficult to be coveted. Even if outsiders obtained it, they would be rejected if they didn't receive the Spirit's recognition.

Everyone had clearly seen General Mu Huiyin's spirit and the sword spirit turn into light, condense into a Soul Seed, and fall into Shi Yu's hands.

This meant that General Binglong had already recognized Shi Yu.

"Director Li, take them to rest."

"Next, this area will be sealed off, and we have something else to do."

Instructor Feng looked at the crowd below.

"Yes," Director He nodded. They had to have everyone present today sign a confidentiality agreement.

The fact that Shi Yu obtained Mu Huiyin's spirit couldn't be exposed.

Mu Huiyin was the number one under the Shi Emperor of the Dong Huang Dynasty, and she must have participated in the first Totem War.

She was definitely a figure with a deep blood feud with the Totem aliens.

Perhaps there were still many Totem aliens alive who had grudges against Mu Huiyin herself.

If Mu Huiyin's achievements were true, then the hatred brought by her name would definitely not be small.

The Totem aliens had never stopped retaliating against the descendants of those war heroes.

Within the ancient Dong Huang Kingdom, no one could be sure whether there were spies planted by the Totem aliens.

At least, Dong Huang Country definitely had spies planted in the Totem Territory, so there must be no shortage of Totem alien spies in the country.

Before Shi Yu had completely grown up, it was better to seal off the news about Mu Huiyin to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Shi Yu just contracted an ordinary sword spirit, where did Binglong come from? They didn't know anything!

They didn't know anything!

"Seal off the news first," Director Li nodded. The rest would be handled by the Eleven Bureau internally.

Shi Yu… members of the Eleven Bureau were indeed not fuel-efficient lamps.

He had just arrived at the Spirit Remains and caused such a big commotion. He wondered if the old principal would faint after being notified…

…

Shi Yu had a very long dream.

In the dream, Shi Yu seemed to have turned into a red sparrow, and after being burned by flames, he was reborn like a phoenix that had risen from the ashes.

"Hoo--"

After a long time, Shi Yu suddenly woke up.

He quickly got out of bed and looked around.

It was a pretty decent infirmary…

Next to him, Eleven and Ginseng Baby were holding a phone, seemingly watching something…

When they noticed that Shi Yu had woken up, they quickly turned their heads.

"Awoo woo woo!!" Eleven waved its hands excitedly.

"Yiya!!" Ginseng Baby was also very excited; they had discovered Worm's daydream diary.

Shi Yu: "…"

Shi Yu stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.

In the next moment, a red orb of light, which was the sword spirit's Soul Seed, slowly floated up from Shi Yu's palm.

Looking at the Soul Seed, Shi Yu fell silent for a moment.

During the final blow, his consciousness and vision were almost blurred, but he could still see that General Mu Huiyin had also merged into it in the end.

So, Mu Huiyin's spirit had disappeared just like that?

Indeed, Mu Huiyin's spirit had said that she would eventually dissipate completely, turn into a Soul Seed, and form a new undead life form.

However, at this point, Shi Yu suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Mu Huiyin's main body died after suppressing the Glacier Totem, and now her spirit has also turned into a Soul Seed."

"What a pity."

Shi Yu still had many things he wanted to ask General Binglong. Compared to the Soul Seed, he wanted to know more about the early Dong Huang Dynasty, especially about the Shi Emperor.

However, there was still one thing that Shi Yu was very concerned about at this moment.

That was Mu Huiyin's bloodline and background.

What race and human mix was she?

From the beginning until now, Shi Yu had grasped two points.

First, the sun.

The sword spirit's flame felt very similar to the fire of the sun.

Second, the phoenix.

If the dream just now was related to this Soul Seed…

It seemed that Mu Huiyin was intentionally or unintentionally forcing him to use the sword spirit's power beyond his capacity to fight.

And after the battle, now that Shi Yu had recovered, he could clearly feel that he didn't have many negative effects.

On the contrary, his condition in all aspects was stronger than before the sword spirit's possession.

The state of being wrapped in flames just now was like being reborn from the ashes.

After enduring tremendous pain, a more perfect body was born.

The strength of his physique, spirit, soul, and even beast-taming space had almost increased in all aspects.

"Sun, phoenix?" Shi Yu was at a loss.

He was even more curious about Mu Huiyin's background now.

How could such an outrageous, almost mythical bloodline be born in a human?

Shi Yu couldn't help but be curious because the female emperor who established the third-generation peak Dong Huang Dynasty also had a phoenix bloodline and was a mixed-blood.

It could be a coincidence once, but for such mixed-bloods to appear twice in history and both become big figures, the probability of it being a coincidence was much smaller.

"It seems I have to ask the little female dragon in detail," Shi Yu muttered.

Maybe she knew something…

In addition, Shi Yu had another new discovery at this time.

After the spirit turned into a Soul Seed, it seemed to have been recognized as a special life form.

Shi Yu's illustrated book could already see its information.

[Name]: Soul Seed

[Attribute]: Undead, Fire

[Race Level]: ???

[Growth Level]: Unawakened

[Energy Value]: 100

Good heavens, Shi Yu exclaimed, "Good heavens," what could he say?

It just felt even more outrageous than Qing Mian Worm's cocoon.

This was equivalent to the young spirit not being born yet, still in egg form, but it had already been detected?

And the energy value wasn't low either, completely beating a normal Qing Mian Worm at awakening level ten.

"Ying!" "Yi!"

At this time, seeing Shi Yu staring at the Soul Seed, Eleven and Ginseng Baby also looked at the Soul Seed and asked about it.

Was this orb of light the big sister from before?

"Um," Shi Yu nodded and said, "Sort of, but not entirely."

However, regardless of whether it was or not, the little sword spirit in the future should be female, right?

Eleven, Worm, Ginseng Baby… Shi Yu felt that he should indeed have a female pet by his side to neutralize things.

Shi Yu looked at the orb of light and sensed his current state.

After thinking for a moment, he planned to awaken the Soul Seed now.

He also knew the special nature of spirits; spirits had very high loyalty, and even without a contract, they could still communicate mind-to-mind.

The premise was that the beast tamer had to use his own power to hatch it.

Shi Yu held the orb of light and slowly entered a meditative state.

However, Shi Yu was immediately interrupted by the awakened Worm as soon as he entered meditation and tried to hatch the Soul Seed!

"What are you doing…" Shi Yu saw that Worm wasn't sleeping properly and waiting for evolution but wanted to run out and watch the fun again, so he couldn't help but despise it.

"I know, I know, just this once."

Unable to resist Worm's persistence, Shi Yu summoned Worm in its cocoon form.

After coming out, Worm immediately looked over excitedly. Was a new teammate joining the team?

Or a little baby who hadn't hatched yet?

It had been sleeping just now and didn't know anything. It had been awakened because Shi Yu was injured and unconscious.

It had almost forcibly evolved to save Shi Yu.

It had only relaxed after learning from Eleven and Ginseng Baby that Shi Yu was fine.

"Ying." Eleven told Worm not to be too happy too soon.

"Yi." Ginseng Baby also told Worm not to be too happy too soon.

A fire-type teammate who was suspected to be of a high-level overlord race, were you sure that you could beat it after leveling up?

Ginseng Baby looked worried. Fire-type, and a high-level overlord at that.

It was going to burn Ginseng Baby to death!

"!!!" Worm was also startled and looked at the Soul Seed. You guys weren't kidding, right?

As a worm, it was also afraid of fire.

Among the three pets, even Eleven couldn't maintain a very calm state of mind.

Because Eleven could sense that Shi Yu liked the little sword spirit very much. Eleven imagined it and its expression gradually became serious.

This was the rhythm of the metal-eating beast knight continuing to go online!

In the future, it was probably going to change from the main output to a battery assistant.

Its power would all be absorbed by Shi Yu…

"Stop making noise." Shi Yu looked at the Soul Seed floating in his palm and glared at the three pets.

The three pets' worries were completely unnecessary in the short term.

Just now, he had felt that the load on the beast tamer in the sword spirit possession state was very large.

The sword pressure confrontation just now seemed powerful… but in reality, the sword spirit's growth level at that time was only at the transcendent level standard.

This was outrageous.

If the sword spirit grew to the commander level, Shi Yu felt that he would probably be drained immediately before he could even swing the sword.

Therefore, as a proper beast tamer, he must control the sword spirit's growth level and not possess it randomly.

The metal-eating beast knight, whoever wanted to be it could be it, he had no interest anyway.

It was best… for the sword spirit to always be one level lower than Eleven and the others, so that he could ensure that he wouldn't be suddenly drained if he had a whim one day.

Even if Shi Yu's physique was strong and Ginseng Baby was strong, Shi Yu was very sure that he couldn't contract and control a high-level overlord race, commander-level sword spirit in his current state.

Shi Yu was cautious.

He closed his eyes again and entered a meditative state.

He tried to communicate with the Soul Seed through his mind.

In the dark vision, he searched for that ray of fire.

One second… two seconds… three seconds…

Outside, the three pets stared intently at Shi Yu, who was hatching the Soul Seed in his palm.

After about a few minutes, Shi Yu finally established a certain connection with the Soul Seed.

At the same time, under Shi Yu's constant efforts, the light on the marble-sized red orb became even more dazzling.

Its form was also slowly changing under the light.

Eleven and the other pets were still staring intently at the Soul Seed, which was gradually changing shape, holding their breaths and not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Shi Yu and the Soul Seed.

And at this moment, although Shi Yu had his eyes closed, he could still feel the changes in the Soul Seed in the dark vision.

But after a moment.

Shi Yu opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the little undead in front of him.

At this moment, there was no Soul Seed in front of Shi Yu.

Instead, there was a "little sword spirit" with a translucent body, a dark red hilt, and a red blade.

The overall form was similar to Mu Huiyin's red sparrow, but perhaps because it was young, it didn't have so many tattoos.

It was indeed a sword spirit, but…

Shi Yu looked at the sword spirit in front of him, which was about the size of a fruit knife or dagger, and fell silent.

Wasn't it, did sword spirits also have to grow up slowly from a young age?

"Mi~~~?"

The little sword spirit floated in the air and turned around timidly, sensing the surrounding situation a little at a loss.

"Why 'Mi'? But that's not important…"

Shi Yu looked at the little sword spirit and completely confirmed that the newborn sword spirit was like a newborn baby, innocent like a blank sheet of paper. Also, it was very different from the sword spirit he had just held; it obviously had its own consciousness.

In addition, perhaps because there was some kind of connection, Shi Yu could now clearly sense its condition with the illustrated book, just like how he sensed Eleven and the others, even though he hadn't contracted the little sword spirit yet.

[Name]: Unknown Sword Spirit (Unnamed)

[Race Skills]: Soul Severing (High-Level Undead Skill, Soul Nemesis, can emit soul slashes, double damage to undead creatures)

Sensing the information fed back by the little sword spirit, Shi Yu's breathing became a little heavy for a moment. This was too strong!!!

It was only at awakening level one, but its combat power could probably cut down ordinary transcendent-level pets!

Shi Yu looked at the little sword spirit with surprise and joy.

"Mi~~~" At this moment, the little sword spirit had already stuck to Shi Yu's arm.

"Mi~~~" The little sword spirit interacted with Shi Yu in a spoiled manner.

It wanted to eat ice cream, it was so hot.
