"Shi Yu??"

Shi Yu fell into contemplation for a moment. Lin Hongnian asked, "How is it?"

"It's nothing." Shi Yu recovered and looked at Eleven.

"It seems Eleven can't do it either. Let's try again later."

"However, the effect of the inscriptions is already very clear. Each inscription should allow them to awaken a new racial skill."

"As for the conditions for activating new racial skills, and whether the activation process will lead to a second evolution, that remains unknown," Shi Yu said.

Shi Yu's words surprised the other three.

Awakening new racial skills?

Generally speaking, pets can only awaken new racial skills through evolution, mutation, or acquiring special bloodlines.

Can nine inscriptions achieve this? What exactly are these inscriptions!

Of course, Shi Yu felt that it definitely wasn't as simple as nine inscriptions. It might also be related to max-level Hardening.

He already had a guess.

Max-level Hardening can absorb the properties of other metal ores and transform them into Hardening properties.

But this property is essentially simulated external force, not truly its own power, and Eleven hasn't perfectly digested it.

Could it be that these inscriptions can permanently imprint the special metallic properties absorbed by the Iron-eating Beast in its bloodline, turning them into racial skills?

Each inscription represents a special metal, and only specific metals that resonate with the Iron-eating Beast race can form new racial skills…

If that's the case…

Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat. There are so many special metals in the world. Without a definite direction, even if he were the richest man in Gu Du, he wouldn't have the resources to try them all slowly.

Of course, it might not be this guess. The inability to continue engraving inscriptions might also be due to Eleven's insufficient growth level.

Sometimes evolution also has requirements for the growth stage. The most typical example is some pet races with "Monarch" in their name, which require reaching the Monarch level to evolve.

"That white light just now almost made me think it was going to undergo a second evolution."

Dean Hao took a deep breath, unsure what emotions he should be feeling.

Lin Hongnian and Lin Xiuzhu were both happy and disappointed. Happy that the inscriptions had such a special effect, and disappointed that they didn't have an Iron-eating Beast to engrave them on.

However, Eleven being able to engrave half of them and perceive the effect of the inscriptions was already a major breakthrough.

Perhaps given Shi Yu a little more time, he could really figure out all the conditions?

"Let's research it slowly." Although Shi Yu was anxious, he knew there was no way to rush it at the moment. Besides, he was already very satisfied with Eleven's current state.

"Yes," everyone nodded. Haste makes waste.

"Let's take a look at Eleven's newly awakened racial skill first," Shi Yu said.

With that, he looked at Eleven.

"Ying."

Eleven's body flashed with white light, immediately shrinking back to less than a meter in height, returning to its original appearance.

Surprisingly, during this process, its eyes also returned to the black color of an ordinary Iron-eating Beast.

Super Skill: Convergent Sharpness, Convergent State!

"Ji—" "Yi—" Right now, as Eleven shrank and its full-body armor disappeared, Buggy and Ginseng Baby revealed aggrieved expressions.

Eleven was more approachable in this state.

Its evolved form was just too powerful.

They had heard it, over 80,000 energy points. That was too exaggerated.

Could their energy values also increase tenfold after evolution and breakthrough?

Buggy calculated its own and felt that it should increase twentyfold to be reasonable. A tenfold increase didn't seem very high, damn it.

"Eleven, Electromagnetic Levitation."

Shi Yu gave the order. Hearing this, Eleven immediately nodded.

Blue-white electric arcs burst out around its body, and faint blue electric light emerged. In this state, its body slowly floated and flew.

"Electromagnetic Levitation—" Gym Leader Lin and Panda Senior showed envious expressions. It could even fly. How wonderful.

Because it was a newly awakened racial skill, Eleven wasn't very proficient. Perhaps after fully hardening, it could be improved by utilizing the special properties of the current hardening, but it still had a long way to go compared to the flight skills of wind-type flying pets.

Of course, this was the normal situation. The abnormal situation was Shi Yu immediately adding points to the level of Skill Proficiency Nearing Dao.

At that time, it could directly rely on Electromagnetic Levitation and wouldn't even need Railgun.

Perhaps it could even turn itself into an electromagnetic bear and launch itself into the air.

If its growth level was higher, it might even be able to pull down meteorites from the sky!

"Awoo wooo wooo!!!"

After flying around a bit, Eleven landed with an excited expression, clapping wildly, and then looked at Buggy and Ginseng Baby.

Did you see? Did you see? It could fly by itself.

In the future, it could handle the Yingji Sky Assault tactic all by itself.

"Ji…" Buggy cried. Was the affection fading? Did it no longer need Buggy after learning a new skill?

Was this electromagnetic force more impressive than its illusionary wings?

It seemed like it really was. Buggy became depressed.

"Yi!!" Ginseng Baby patted Buggy, It's okay, if Eleven doesn't want you, it wants you.

Ginseng Baby expressed that it also wanted to grow wings and fly around. Then, they would be the air force. Buggy would carry it, and it would throw energy fruits from the sky. Wouldn't aerial bombardment be great?

"Ji!!" Buggy nodded. Good, good!

Their "Incapable of an Yi Ji" duo would definitely be more powerful than the "Yingji Sky" duo. It wasn't that they were incapable of withstanding a single blow, but that the enemies were!

Ignoring Buggy and Ginseng Baby's little drama, Eleven, under Shi Yu's instructions, planned to see the combined effect of Charge Lightning and Convergent Sharpness.

"I'll leave the next part to you," Shi Yu said to Dean Hao.

"No problem," Dean Hao chuckled and immediately summoned a summoning array.

Dean Hao had previously summoned a Monarch-level, High-ranking Commander race Lightsaber to help Master Lin engrave inscriptions.

However, Lightsaber was a dual-type Machine/Light pet. This time, Dean Hao was clearly planning to summon another type of pet!

Rumble.

Light flashed.

The next moment, a huge machine body nearly five meters tall emerged from the summoning light, revealing its full appearance.

This was a purple, gigantic mecha, tall and handsome, with a humanoid form very similar to the Gundam in Shi Yu's childhood memories.

"Purple Electric Armor?" Through the illustrated handbook, Shi Yu quickly saw the racial information of this mechanical pet.

[Name]: Purple Electric Armor

[Attribute]: Machine, Lightning

[Race Level]: High-ranking Monarch

[Growth Level]: Monarch Level

[Racial Skills]: Discharge, Energy Wings, Energy Shield, Lightning Strike, King's Spear, Electromagnetic Interference, Purple Lightning Core

[Energy Value]: 1,779,648

"Gulp." Shi Yu swallowed and said, "1.77 million energy points??"

"Uh." Dean Hao glanced at Shi Yu and chuckled. "A very advanced detector."

To be able to detect the energy value of the Purple Electric Armor, it seemed that the Eleventh Bureau had equipped Shi Yu with some pretty good equipment.

"But it doesn't look like a mechanical life. Do you want me to upgrade it to a mechanical life?"

"No, no," Shi Yu said quickly. "I don't have that idea for the time being."

Turning the illustrated handbook into a handbook maiden would require adding points to all four pets. Shi Yu wasn't mentally prepared yet.

Besides, wasn't a mecha cool enough?

Shi Yu, Lin Hongnian, and Panda Senior looked at the tall mecha in shock.

"Dean Hao, can the Beast Tamer enter the mecha during battle?" Shi Yu asked.

"That's right," Dean Hao affirmed. "Although it's not as perfectly compatible as a fusion talent, more advanced mechas have a Beast Tamer talent connection system and a nutrient system installed, which allows the pet to connect more perfectly to the Beast Tamer's Beast Taming talent and keep the Beast Tamer in the most full state at all times."

"Of course, the value of this kind of mechanical life…" Dean Hao smiled slightly.

Mechanical pets were definitely the most money-burning type of pet.

A fully complete Monarch mecha was incredibly expensive. Even non-mechanical life war machines cost hundreds of millions to build. In comparison, the evolution materials of the Iron-eating Beast were nothing compared to the money-burning mechanical type.

"Ying!" Eleven looked at this cold, big guy and felt that its armor wasn't as cool as it.

Buggy and Ginseng Baby's eyes also lit up, especially Buggy, which felt that this thing wasn't inferior to a dragon.

It would try to create an illusion of it tomorrow. It looked at Shi Yu with glowing eyes, planning to please its Beast Tamer.

A perceptive Buggy.

However, what Shi Yu coveted most at this time wasn't actually the Purple Electric Armor.

It was this guy's super skill, Purple Lightning Core.

[Skill]: Purple Lightning Core

[Level]: Super Skill

[Introduction]: A dual-type Machine/Lightning skill that can convert ordinary lightning energy into purple lightning.

Through the illustrated handbook, Shi Yu only saw a very simple introduction, but this introduction, although it didn't go into detail, was described very similarly to Frost Qi; both converted ordinary energy into a higher-level energy!!

The power of purple lightning was definitely far beyond that of lightning of the same level!

Unfortunately, this thing had the word "Core" in it and was associated with the Machine attribute. Shi Yu really didn't dare to steal it.

Although it was also a Lightning-type skill, Eleven might not have the compatibility.

"It doesn't matter, even if I don't get Purple Lightning, I'll eventually get Eleven another special super-level lightning," Shi Yu muttered in his heart.

"I just don't know what color Eleven likes, red lightning? Black lightning?"

Currently, super skills didn't attract him as much as they did in the newbie stage. One reason was that he couldn't teach them, and the other was that his horizons had broadened.

There were many similar skills.

The fire, lightning, frost, and water in nature weren't exactly the same. There were many special elemental energy bodies that existed as spiritual objects.

Frost Qi and Purple Lightning were special types of energy. In addition, there were many different flames and different waters.

After absorbing these spiritual objects, corresponding attribute pets could potentially master new skills.

Even not only pets, but some Beast Tamers' special talents were similar forms of special energy.

For example, if a Beast Tamer had the "Cold Flame" talent, they could transform the flame power of their contracted pet into Cold Flame, giving it incredible properties.

"Purple Lightning, release lightning at that little Iron-eating Beast," Dean Hao said to the Purple Electric Armor.

"Ying!" Eleven took a step back.

It widened its eyes. It had just heard it.

Over 1 million energy points. Did it want it to die!

"Don't worry, the other party will definitely control the power. Your Charge Lightning skill can resist and absorb external lightning and store it in your body. As long as the power isn't too great, it's basically charging you," Shi Yu said.

"Ying…" Even though Shi Yu said that, Eleven was still flustered.

However, it endured it.

"Ying! (Come on!)" Convergent Eleven raised its head and was about to look at the Purple Electric Armor when a blue-white current fell!

It wasn't purple lightning, just ordinary discharge.

Moreover, it was discharge that had been weakened by the Purple Electric Armor by an unknown amount, leaving only a trace of energy points.

"This discharge is roughly equivalent to a Commander race, Commander-level Lightning-type pet's proficient-level Discharge power," Dean Hao said.

Zzzzzzzz!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning struck Eleven.

In its Convergent state, Eleven was essentially sealing its evolution power. Compared to its Sharpness state, Eleven's attributes in all aspects were greatly weakened.

The electric shock landed on it. Because there were no defensive measures, Eleven painfully "yinged".

But it didn't seem that painful?

"Awoo!!!" Eleven opened its eyes, opened its big mouth, as if it was eating lightning, and directly used Charge Lightning to swallow the lightning into its body and store it.

Although Charge Lightning couldn't restore physical strength like Charge Beam, Charge Beam couldn't devour violent energy like Charge Lightning. Both had their strengths.

After devouring it, Eleven patted its small belly with a satisfied expression and looked at the Purple Electric Armor, indicating to come again.

"It ate it."

Seeing this, Gym Leader Lin, Panda Senior, Buggy, and Ginseng Baby all showed surprised expressions.

The power of the discharge just now wasn't small.

Buggy and Ginseng Baby felt that this lightning bolt could easily severely injure them.

And Eleven, in its Convergent and weak state, swallowed it in one gulp?

Although it was Convergent, Eleven's current physical fitness was still ridiculously strong!

"Hehe." Dean Hao had an expression of "I knew it" and then signaled the Purple Electric Armor to continue discharging.

The next moment, currents of the same power but continuous intensity fell wildly.

"Awoo!!!" Eleven opened its big mouth, trying its best to absorb and store these lightning energies with its body.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Ten seconds later, Eleven was still absorbing lightning energy and charging!!!

"Charge Lightning and Convergent Sharpness can indeed be combined," Shi Yu said.

At this time, in his vision, he seemed to see a source of physical strength like a thunderball inside Eleven's body!!

Eleven's body had long reached its upper limit and could no longer accumulate lightning power.

But this thunderball was like an independent battery, taking a different approach to frantically absorb and devour external power beyond Eleven's body's tolerance limit.

Convergent Sharpness + Charge Lightning!

This meant that when Eleven released its Convergent state and entered its Sharpness state, the total amount of lightning it could release in one breath would be several times the power of its original entry-level Charge Lightning!!

Of course, there would definitely be some costs, such as a huge burden on the body, but it was still very strong, because it also meant that Eleven would become a Lightning-type nemesis!

"Not bad, not bad!!!" At this time, Dean Hao felt Eleven's state and said, "By the way, Shi Yu, has your Beast Taming Space reached level three yet?"

"Did you take the assessment to advance to a Middle-level Beast Tamer?"

"Not yet…" Shi Yu said.

"Then, do you want to bring it in this state and go to the Beast Tamer Association to advance to a Middle-level Beast Tamer now?"

"I remember that the requirement for advancement seems to be to last a few minutes against a Commander-level pet with all your pets combined."

"Uh." Shi Yu and the others had strange expressions.

Did you have to be so mischievous?

Are you sure that Eleven in this state won't slap the examiner's pet to death?
