Gudu University, at the school gate.

Just returning here, Shi Yu had an ominous premonition.

He put his hands in his pockets, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Chong Chong, Teleportation."

"Send me back to the dormitory first."

"Hmm?"

Chong Chong emerged from its Void Concealment state, appearing next to Shi Yu.

Since mastering Teleportation, Shi Yu has become increasingly lazy!

Shi Yu couldn't help it; it was just too convenient.

"Please." Shi Yu smiled.

With Chong Chong's current strength, teleporting him anywhere within the Gudu University campus was no problem at all.

How much time would that save?

Rounding it up, Chong Chong was practically half a Time-type.

Hmm... in the future, when Shiyi goes to training facilities and Can Bao Bao goes to class, they'll probably need Chong Chong to shuttle them around.

What Shi Yu thought of, Chong Chong naturally thought of too.

It couldn't help but show a desperate expression, its mental state slightly breaking down, but the work still had to be done.

Just as it was about to envelop Shi Yu with telekinesis and teleport him back to the dormitory, a cat was one step ahead of them.

"Meow!"

Before Shi Yu and Chong Chong could react, a flash of white light suddenly appeared in the air in front of them, and a large white cat materialized, landing lightly and looking eagerly at Shi Yu and the others.

The Gem Cat's proficiency in Teleportation... probably wasn't low either.

Shi Yu and Chong Chong twitched at the corners of their mouths as the Gem Cat suddenly appeared to greet them.

"That Dragon Ball... is it really the Dragon Ball of a Divine Dragon?" The Gem Cat still looked eager.

As if it had carelessly lost something extremely precious.

Shi Yu: "Die Shen said so, it should be right... but I still don't know what race it belongs to."

"Ugh~~" The Imaginary Butterfly Chong Chong thanked the wealthy cat, grateful for the big shot's evolution materials.

Chong Chong could be where it was today thanks to the Gem Cat's contribution.

It, Chong Chong, would remember this kindness and have Can Bao Bao repay it tenfold in the future.

"Ah, Divine Dragon Dragon Ball." The Gem Cat was crestfallen.

"This..." Shi Yu said, "Um, is there still enough Gem Fruits to eat? Otherwise, I'll have Can Bao Bao send 500 more another day?"

Shi Yu still chose to sell Can Bao Bao.

500?

The Gem Cat's eyes widened.

Did a single Dragon Ball make Shi Yu feel so guilty?

"Meow!"

The Gem Cat put away its aggrieved expression; that was exactly what it was waiting for him to say.

It patted the ground, indicating that it was acceptable.

The Dragon Ball didn't matter; it really didn't have enough Gem Fruits to eat.

But Can Bao Bao worked hard to make them, so it could only rely on Shi Yu and Can Bao Bao's awareness.

"Okay, then you'll have to put in some effort. This isn't a small project... the quality can't be skimped on!"

The Gem Cat was worried, afraid Can Bao Bao wouldn't be able to handle it.

It looked at Shi Yu and asked, "Is there still energy in that Wood-type Energy Crystal?"

Shi Yu had taken a Wood-type Energy Crystal from the Gem Cat, which was practically Can Bao Bao's power bank.

It took a lot of effort to produce a top-quality Nutritional Fruit, after all, it was a top-tier spiritual fruit that could increase evolutionary potential and vitality, more strenuous than a battle. Without the power bank, it couldn't perfectly sustain its recovery skills.

"Almost gone." Shi Yu shook his head.

"It won't skimp on the materials, but it's true that it's a bit pressured to produce Nutritional Fruits now. It'll probably take a long time to deliver 500 of them. But if Can Bao Bao could evolve like Chong Chong, it might be a lot easier. We already have an idea; we're just missing the evolution materials."

Shi Yu wagged his tail.

《Master Duel》.

Gem Cat: ???

You little brat, do you think I'm stupid?

After going around for so long, you're trying to get new evolution materials?

"Meow oww."

The Gem Cat fell into contemplation, but ah, it wasn't entirely out of the question.

Can Bao Bao's level was too low. Even if it produced high-quality Gem Fruits, the quantity wasn't enough, which was unsatisfying.

For it, it was like a food being incredibly delicious but only being able to take one bite, not enough to fill it up.

"Then go take another look when you have time." It rubbed its dizzy head.

Nurturing a chef was also for a better future.

"Alright." Shi Yu grinned. It wasn't him selling Can Bao Bao; Can Bao Bao was already a mature pet, it was time to work and earn evolution materials itself.

…

Later, he could go to the Gem Cat's warehouse and the Gudu University resource library to pick out more resources!

Shi Yu was excited, Chong Chong was happy for Can Bao Bao, and Can Bao Bao was in pain but also enjoying it.

Before, Shi Yu only paid attention to Chong Chong's evolution materials and hadn't really paid much attention to the others.

He had to take a careful look this time.

Before that, Shi Yu continued what he was doing earlier and had Chong Chong teleport him to his dormitory.

Back in the dorm, he immediately flopped onto the sofa.

However, before Shi Yu's butt even warmed up, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Shi Yu: "…"

"Chong Chong, open the door."

Using telekinesis to open the door was more convenient than having Shiyi and Can Bao Bao do it.

Including doing housework; it was also very convenient. Chong Chong simultaneously controlled multiple cleaning tools to work together, which was very efficient.

Now that Chong Chong was the strongest in the team, it was undoubtedly the top dog in the team when it came to life matters.

Chong Chong cried: (╥╯^╰╥)

Since returning this time, Chong Chong always felt that Shi Yu didn't dote on it as much as before.

Not like when it was in the chrysalis state, when he took such good care of it.

Instead, he ordered it around more than Shiyi and Can Bao Bao.

Logically, now that it was stronger, shouldn't Shi Yu be pampering it?

Sure enough, there was no unprovoked love. The enjoyment it had in the chrysalis state now had to be slowly repaid.

"Ugh…" Looking at Can Bao Bao eating a basin of ice cream and drinking iced soda, and the little Chi Tong hugging an ice cube, Chong Chong, who was about to drink juice, could only put it down and use telekinesis to open the door first.

Outside the door were two people.

One was the president of the battle club, the beast-eared girl Bai Xi.

The other was the old principal of Gudu University, who had always lived in the background.

"Grandpa Feng, why are you here too?" Bai Xi came to find Shi Yu and was very surprised to run into the old principal.

"Can't I come?" The old principal chuckled, stroking his white beard.

"Yes, you can, you can." Bai Xi lightly hit her head and smiled.

"Do you have something to talk to Shi Yu about? Otherwise, I'll leave first and come back to find him later."

"It's okay, I'll just chat about some household matters and leave. It's nothing important; let's go in together."

As the two were talking, the door opened directly.

But when they looked, there was no one at the door at all. It seemed like the door had opened automatically.

"Please come in!!" However, a shout soon came from inside.

At this time, Shi Yu had already gotten off the sofa, put on his shoes, and walked over to greet them.

When Shi Yu saw the two people at the door, he was immediately stunned.

Bai Xi... the other one was the old principal of Gudu University?

Shi Yu wasn't surprised that Senior Bai Xi came over; that was a frequent occurrence. But why had this legendary old principal of Gudu University suddenly come as well?

"Senior Bai, Principal Feng."

"Chong Chong, wash the fruit, make tea."

Shi Yu quickly entertained the two of them.

A moment later, the three of them sat down, and Shi Yu asked, "Principal Feng, Senior Bai... what's the matter?"

Bai Xi waved her hand and smiled, "It's nothing for me."

Shi Yu looked at Principal Feng.

Principal Feng laughed and said, "It's nothing big for me either. I just always hear Qingyi mention you, and then there was the Butterfly Transformation Conference. This time, I finally couldn't help but come and see you."

As the old principal finished speaking, Chong Chong had already controlled the tea and juice to fly over. Shiyi was also holding a few bottles of milk, and Can Bao Bao was holding two bottles of soda, also following along to deliver them.

Not knowing what you like to drink, I prepared a little of everything.

"Is this the Imaginary Butterfly? It's much prettier than in the photos." Bai Xi said enviously.

Girls, after all, like beautiful things.

Unfortunately, the butterfly's body was too fragile. Bai Xi preferred hand-to-hand combat and didn't like being a mage or assassin through fusion talent.

"It is indeed a very beautiful race." Principal Feng also nodded.

"But for this reason, Shi Yu, you have to be careful when you're outside."

The old principal looked at Shi Yu. A high-level overlord race Sword Spirit, a mid-level overlord race Imaginary Butterfly, and the Beast Tamer and pets were still very weak. In this situation, even people on their side might have some crooked ideas.

Just having the identity of the Eleventh Bureau wasn't enough to deter some crazy people who didn't care about their lives.

"I understand. I'll be careful." Shi Yu nodded.

"Even I'm envious, an overlord race... others will definitely be even more envious." Bai Xi looked eager. Her pet with the highest race was only a quasi-overlord race.

It was her Six-Tailed Light Fox, which had now evolved into a Nine-Tailed Light Fox, replacing her previous White Tiger pet and becoming her current highest-priority fusion target.

Even the Nine-Tailed clan, such a powerful pet, was still a bit short of the overlord race. Shi Yu contracting an overlord race was simply too lucky.

"Haha, it's good that the country is still very stable now, unlike a dozen years ago. If such big news came out then, it would probably be hard to have peace." The old principal of Gudu University laughed.

"A dozen years ago?"

Shi Yu had always felt that the atmosphere in Dong Huang was pretty good, which was too rare for a high-martial fantasy world.

"Yes, Dong Huang wasn't so stable a dozen years ago. There were many foreign cults, underground organizations, and underworld protection umbrellas. At that time, if a Beast Tamer without a background was lucky enough to contract a special mutated pet, the most likely thing waiting for him would be being forced to解除契约, having his pet taken away, and then the Beast Tamer himself mysteriously disappearing…"

"The current stability is the result of a long period of sweeping away crime and eliminating evil." Principal Feng didn't have any reservations and told Shi Yu about the situation in Dong Huang before.

"I know that." Bai Xi said, "I even heard my grandfather say that a legendary Beast Tamer in the Totem Domain was robbed of his pet when he was young and was falsely accused, resulting in his family being destroyed. In the end, he was the only one who was lucky enough to escape to the Totem Domain. As a result, he became an enemy of Dong Huang... Although justice came later and that consortium was uprooted, he still didn't choose to come back."

"Alas, there is indeed such a thing." Principal Feng sighed. Because of this kind of thing, Dong Huang lost a genius with legendary potential for nothing. This kind of consortium was really hateful. If they couldn't buy it by force, they would frame him and ruin his future and his whole family. At that time, the laws weren't perfect, and in the end, they created a great enemy for Dong Huang.

"I'll be careful." Shi Yu's mouth twitched. Don't scare him. He just wanted to happily nurture a pet and happily solve a ruin. Don't let him encounter this kind of annoying thing.

"So before becoming a master-level Beast Tamer, it's best not to run around. Even if there are potentially dangerous ruins, don't go for the time being. Just stay in the school for now." Principal Feng smiled.

Shi Yu's current potential was really too great; he had to be protected.

"That won't do. Senior Bai also asked me to go to the imperial capital to participate in exchange activities, to participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, to participate in the National Competition, to…"

Bai Xi: ?

Principal Feng looked at Bai Xi.

"Cough, there's not much of a problem with this kind of regular, public competition." Principal Feng said, "The main thing is not to go to some dangerous places. Without enough bodyguards or power, don't think about some unsolved ruins either."

"Don't repeat my mistakes when you're young."

Shi Yu was slightly stunned. Mistakes?

Senior Bai Xi's expression changed slightly, obviously knowing something.

Principal Feng chuckled and said, "You don't know yet, do you? I'm also a member of that place."

Shi Yu didn't react for a moment.

"The Eleventh Bureau?" After a moment, Shi Yu opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yes." The old principal chuckled.

Shi Yu was very surprised and said, "Senior Lu didn't tell me…"

Speaking of which, he was still hazy about the members of the Eleventh Bureau. He had to ask Senior Lu clearly another day.

"Haha, it was I who didn't let her tell you."

"I haven't used that identity for a long time. I withdrew from the field of archaeology a long time ago, so I'm currently just a nominal member of the Eleventh Bureau."

"Back then, I was also an archaeologist and even a legendary Beast Tamer. I contracted an overlord-level pet, but during an exploration of ruins, I encountered danger. The overlord war pet died, and I myself was greatly injured. Since then, after losing a close friend who had grown up with me since childhood, I withdrew from the field of archaeology. Sometimes, exploring the unknown is important, but other things are also important."

The overlord-level war pet died, and he had no intention of cultivating. The old principal of Gudu University became a pseudo-legend with only a seventh-level Beast Taming Space but no overlord-level combat power. There were many people like the old principal of Gudu University in the country, but Shi Yu was still the first time knowing Principal Feng's past.

"This… I understand." Shi Yu understood. Principal Feng hoped that he wouldn't be like him before he had enough strength. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.

Shi Yu tried to imagine that if he wanted to explore the ruins, and as a result, something happened to Shiyi, Chong Chong, Can Bao Bao and other pets because of him, he would probably be like Principal Feng and not want to touch these things anymore.

Bai Xi nudged Shi Yu and said, "I'll secretly tell you that Grandpa Feng is also Senior Lu's maternal grandfather."

Shi Yu: !!!!

Shi Yu opened his mouth slightly and looked at the smiling Principal Feng, feeling shocked in his heart. He didn't expect there to be this relationship.

He suddenly became a lot more restrained.

"You little girl, this is no longer a secret; it's a loud conspiracy." Principal Feng said.

"Hehe." Bai Xi smiled.

"Are you also a special telepathic talent?" Shi Yu asked Principal Feng. He vaguely remembered Senior Lu saying that the eleven members of the Eleventh Bureau, including him, all had this talent.

"Yes." Principal Feng nodded and said, "But that talent hasn't been activated since that accident, but it doesn't matter. The Eleventh Bureau is full of annoying things. I'm currently working in the First Bureau and the Eighth Bureau, and the retirement life I'm living is much more comfortable than it was back then."

Shi Yu: ???

First Bureau? Eighth Bureau?

"Can one person join three departments?" Shi Yu was slightly stunned. What the hell was going on?

The Dong Huang Thirteen Bureaus, aren't the members supposed to represent special talents in thirteen different fields?

Principal Feng chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. The Eighth Bureau is responsible for domestic education, responsible for discovering, guiding, and teaching talented geniuses. I'm currently responsible for archaeological education, so what's wrong with that? Gudu University has become the first in the country in archaeology under my leadership anyway. Qingyi was also brought up by me. You were discovered by Qingyi. Rounding it up, you were discovered by me."

"Who said one person can't get several salaries at the same time?"

"…" Shi Yu was actually speechless for a moment.

Was it that casual?

He suddenly understood why Senior Lu hadn't explored any dangerous ruins before graduating from university. With such a stable maternal grandfather, Principal Feng wouldn't rest assured that she would explore dangerous ruins before she had master-level strength.

"Then when I research some special breeding results, can I also join another bureau?"

Shi Yu muttered to himself. The Iron-Eating Beast's overlord race evolution method, the green worm's chrysalis evolution method, and a pile of skill teaching secrets. It shouldn't be a problem to say that he's a special talent in the field of breeding, right?

The Dong Huang Thirteen Bureaus should be spread across multiple fields such as breeding, medical care, education, commerce, intelligence, and strategy. There must be a breeding department.

"Research what breeding!! Archaeology is the foundation of Gudu University!" The old principal of Gudu University glared. It was fine to minor in battle, but Shi Yu wanted to minor in breeding?

How could one person have so much energy?

With such a good talent like the Listening Talent, Shi Yu should specialize in archaeology instead of running off to study breeding. What was he thinking?

It was impossible to research any results.

The breeding department and the battle department of Gudu University were both relatively lame.

"Understood, understood." Shi Yu didn't argue with the old principal. Whatever you say is what it is, but I just won't change it. I have a cheat!

"The breeding field is the Third Bureau. It's not interesting. It's not as good as the Eleventh Bureau. Don't think too much about it." Principal Feng said.

"Principal Feng, among the Dong Huang Thirteen Bureaus, what's the ranking of the overall combat power of the Beast Tamers of the Eleventh Bureau?" Having finally met an understanding person, Shi Yu couldn't help but ask more.

"Third." Without Principal Feng even needing to answer, Bai Xi answered first, "It's well known that the Beast Tamers of the archaeology department… are all very fierce in combat."

"There are two more powerful than the Beast Tamers of the Eleventh Bureau?" Shi Yu was stunned.

"Hmm…" Principal Feng thought carefully. Indeed, as Bai Xi said, it seemed that there were only two that could steadily surpass the Eleventh Bureau in overall combat power.

"The Eleventh Bureau can be ranked third. The second should be the Fourth Bureau. The first should be the First Bureau."

"The Fourth Bureau members are all composed of a group of the most talented mechanics. The overlord-level warships in the country were all made by them. They are also responsible for many other cutting-edge technologies."

"The Fourth Bureau is indeed very strong, and their strongest point is that they can quickly mass-produce some legendary Beast Tamers for Dong Huang. There are many Beast Tamers in the country whose Beast Taming Space has reached level seven, but they can't nurture overlord-level pets. If it comes to wartime, the entire military will be militarized, and each person will be assigned an overlord-level mechanical life…"

Principal Feng's expression was playful. In the past decade, the vast majority of Dong Huang's funds have been invested in the development of mechanical technology. He couldn't judge how many overlord-level mechanical lives were hidden in Dong Huang waiting to be activated. The numbers that the Strategic Bureau announced to the foreign races definitely couldn't be taken seriously, but without a doubt, the Fourth Bureau could steadily surpass the Eleventh Bureau. They were the real national defense force.

"The overall combat power of the First Bureau is even above the Fourth Bureau?? Wait, Principal Feng, you just said that you're still working in the First Bureau?" Shi Yu suddenly noticed the blind spot!

Shi Yu couldn't imagine what field could be more awesome than the mechanical field.

Could it be a department composed of the sealed legendary titles in the country?

That's not right. Principal Feng isn't qualified to enter.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, the Thirteen Bureaus didn't include combat departments. They were all departments in special fields. Beast Taming combat was the mainstream, and the Thirteen Bureaus were considered branch fields.

"The First Bureau is more secretive. Fewer people know about it than know about the Eleventh Bureau."

Principal Feng stroked his beard and said, "This bureau gathers a group of Beast Tamers with the most talent for making friends!"

Shi Yu: ?

"You have to know that there are quite a few guardian-level creatures sleeping in the country that are close to humans. Although no one has contracted them, the fact that they can choose to stay in Dong Huang must be due to some 'bonds'. There is a group of people who can communicate with them and ask them to take action. The First Bureau gathers a group of special people who can, to some extent, communicate with the guardians and ask them to take action when the country is in danger."

"They may be legends, they may be ordinary people, they may be descendants of ancient heroes… anything is possible."

"Now, you know why the overall combat power of the First Bureau is the strongest, right? Because the guardians on the land of Dong Huang are also included. If Dong Huang and the Totem aliens have another war, they will also be the absolute main force."

Shi Yu opened his mouth slightly, feeling unreasonable but unable to refute it. This bureau, this bureau, was just outrageous.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has the strongest combat power?

Calling it foreign affairs isn't appropriate either. Internal affairs…?

A deal-making bureau?

Can you enter the First Bureau if you can befriend the guardians and hug their thighs?

For a moment, Shi Yu had countless things he wanted to complain about, but he couldn't.

Damn it, he didn't have an in-depth conversation with Die Shen or make friends with her before.

Because the surprise brought by the Imaginary Butterfly and the Dragon Palace City certificate was too great, he didn't even have time to send Die Shen the insect-type nutritional fruit that Can Bao Bao had researched. Mainly because Die Shen was rushing people away too quickly.

It's not a big problem… Dragon Palace City, there's still Dragon Palace City!

However, could there be dangerous factors in Dragon Palace City? Shi Yu was conflicted for a moment.

"Okay…" After being silent, Shi Yu glanced at Senior Bai Xi.

How do you know so much? Which bureau is your family in?

Considering that Bai Xi had such a good relationship with Senior Lu and carried a ruin space with her, he guessed that Bai Xi's family background must also be terrifying.

"Let's talk about it here today." Principal Feng laughed and said, "I've said what needs to be said, so I should go too. You two can continue chatting."

"Won't you stay a little longer?" Shi Yu asked.

Principal Feng shook his head and said, "No… oh, wait, it seems like there's really one thing I almost forgot."

He looked at the Shiyi, Can Bao Bao, Chong Chong, and several other pets standing in a row in front of the wall, listening attentively to their conversation, and fell into contemplation.

"I've only heard about your transformation being magical before, as well as the strength of the Imaginary Butterfly and the strength of the Jiuli War Beast. I'm also a little curious. Old man, I want to see your current strength. Is there a chance?"

"I came here to spar with Junior Shi Yu too! Sword Spirit! Imaginary Butterfly!" Bai Xi's eyes lit up as she looked at Shi Yu and said, "How about I fuse with the Nine-Tailed Fox and fight you?"

Shi Yu: ???

Your Nine-Tailed Fox's energy value is ten times more than Chong Chong's, what are we going to fight about?

"You fuse with a commander-level pet, and I'll fight you." Shi Yu said.

Bai Xi: ???

Principal Feng laughed and suddenly thought of something. "Is your Beast Taming Space already at level four?"

Shi Yu was stunned and said, "How do you know?"

"I sensed it. It's just experience. But you haven't taken the advanced Beast Tamer assessment yet, right? The advanced Beast Tamer requires the Beast Tamer to have commander-level combat power. How about I ask Master Qu Jie from the association to seal your power and fight you? We'll just treat it as the promotion assessment."

"Good idea." Bai Xi nodded.

"…" Shi Yu's expression was strange, very strange, especially strange. It was Master Qu Jie again?
