The battle between Eleven and the Ancient Thunder Dragon perfectly illustrated the impact of skills on combat.

The Dragon race possessed formidable physical strength, but Eleven's hundred-meter Gigantification directly maximized its power, achieving perfect domination!

The Thunder Dragon's Black Dragon Lightning was powerful, but Eleven directly countered it with Thunder Immunity + Lightning Absorption skills!

Even though the Ancient Thunder Dragon's overall attributes were slightly stronger than Eleven's, it seemed somewhat helpless under the suppression of skills.

Skill proficiency was Shi Yu's pets' greatest advantage!

In a skill contest, aside from overlords who had trained super skills to perfection, or totems who had trained super skills to the point of mastery, few creatures below the overlord level could match Shi Yu's pets.

"Second Prince, let's end it here. You might still be a bit short of the core member standard."

"However, with your potential, I believe you can be promoted to a core member soon."

"Roar!!"

Eleven's hardened palms tightened, and the Ancient Thunder Dragon's face alternated between green and red, its teeth itching with anger.

Why was lightning ineffective against this guy?!

Why was this guy's strength greater than its own?!

It was the first time the Ancient Thunder Dragon had experienced such a frustrating battle.

"Hehe, you've done well. Shi Yu is, after all, a Beast Tamer I nurtured," Ice Dragon said happily.

"His aptitude has sixty percent of the brilliance of Emperor Shi back then."

"You should start as an ordinary member."

Countless sea beasts turned respectful gazes towards the Ice Dragon, worthy of being an old senior who had lived since the early days of the Dong Huang Dynasty!

Shi Yu: ?

Eleven: ?

What does this have to do with you!!!

You can't even beat Mu Huiyin, how are you dragging Emperor Shi into this again!

However, Shi Yu felt that the Ice Dragon's shameless demeanor suddenly resembled his own.

He hadn't contracted with the Ice Dragon, so it shouldn't be a gradual influence, what was going on…

"I, I understand." With the Ice Dragon King's totem-level authority speaking, the Ancient Thunder Dragon immediately surrendered obediently.

After all, continuing would be unsightly if it lost consciousness.

After the Second Prince conceded, Eleven released its giant palms, and its whole body flashed with light, shrinking to a form of a few tenths of a meter, "Ehh"ing once.

"…" Seeing Eleven suddenly turning back into a harmless panda, the Second Prince wanted to say something but stopped.

"Roar!! (May I ask, is there a chance for a commander-level to become a core member?)"

Among the monarch-level sea beasts, none spoke for a long time. Suddenly, a overlord descendant who was still at the commander level spoke up.

This was a giant shark, about ten meters long, with a dark blue body. Its sides had red, intelligent eyes and black gills, and its exposed sharp teeth seemed capable of crushing everything.

[Name]: Deep Sea Flood Dragon Shark

[Attribute]: Water, Dragon

[Race Level]: Low Overlord

[Growth Level]: Commander Level

[Energy Value]: 90,000

Shi Yu looked over and felt like he had heard of this guy somewhere, seemingly from Little White Dragon, who called it an idiot.

"Is there a chance for a commander-level to become a core member? Of course, there is." Shi Yu smiled, seeing that it didn't seem too smart:

"What the Ministry of Environment values in a core position is potential. Therefore, even if it's just a commander level, transcendent level, or awakening level, there's still a chance to become a core member. However, the conditions will definitely be more difficult."

"Roar?? (Really?)" The Flood Dragon Shark's expression brightened.

"Yes, as long as you defeat them, you can become a core member." Shi Yu pointed to Buggy, Ginseng Baby, Red Eyes, and Susu, who were still in the stage of suppressing their levels to temper their will, bypassing Eleven, who had just finished fighting.

"They are also commander level, of course, their strength is definitely good."

"Roar! (Then, am I free to choose the examiner?)" The Flood Dragon Shark asked excitedly.

"Yes, you can freely choose the examiner. Then, defeating the examiner will allow you to become a core member. If you lose, but perform well, you can become an ordinary member, but if you lose miserably… then…" Shi Yu said.

As Shi Yu finished speaking, the monarch-level sea beasts immediately resented why they were monarch-level and not commander-level.

Meanwhile, the commander-level sea beasts were overjoyed.

Putting everything else aside.

They looked at that water ball, wasn't that a Water Slime?

Good strength, what the hell?

They didn't recognize the Iron-Eating Beast, so they assumed its race was very strong, but a Water Slime, that was clearly… at the bottom of the water food chain!

And that red little sword shaking its head, it was fire-type! It had to be fire-type! It was countered by water!

And that flying Ginseng Baby, besides the unfamiliar wings, they had seen its appearance before!!

They looked at the ginseng whiskers imported from the ground in the banquet plates and fell into deep thought, silently putting them in their mouths and chewing…

Among the four pets, perhaps only that butterfly looked a little powerful.

The difficulty clearly seemed much lower than challenging the Iron-Eating Beast.

"Roar!! (Then I want to challenge that Water Slime examiner!!)"

The Flood Dragon Shark shouted, its intelligent eyes looking at Susu.

"Worthy of being my son, not too stupid." Behind the Flood Dragon Shark cub, the even larger Flood Dragon Shark overlord silently thought.

Most overlord-level sea beasts, although lacking perception-type or detection-type skills, could vaguely sense the strength of Shi Yu's pets in the sky based on experience.

Every pet Shi Yu summoned was very strong among its peers, the ocean overlords were sure of this. However, if they had to find the weakest one, then the overlords would undoubtedly choose that Water Slime.

Many overlords cast admiring glances at the Flood Dragon Shark.

Except for the Holy Clam Doctor and a few other overlords…

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded as the Flood Dragon Shark made its choice.

At the same time, below, Little White Dragon had just secretly mocked the Second Prince and then cast a look of pity at the Flood Dragon Shark.

Similarly, Yu Shu and others also gave a look of sympathy.

Damn, that was a Water Slime that could directly break through to the monarch level!

Even the Sea Dragon King's son was instantly killed by it, how dare you, a Flood Dragon Shark of a low-level overlord race!

If everyone might have had doubts about the Water Slime's situation before, then now, Yu Shu and others vaguely guessed why that Water Slime could temporarily break through.

It must have eaten the Time Fruit!

This Water Slime had the ability to store the properties of the Time Fruit without having to eat it temporarily!

"Susu." As the Flood Dragon Shark chose Susu, Shi Yu called out, and Susu immediately transformed into a stream of water and flew over, taking Eleven's place and looking at the Flood Dragon Shark below.

"Ninn!!" It was a little nervous in such a big setting.

However, it would try its best to defeat the opponent.

"Roar!" Compared to Susu, the Flood Dragon Shark seemed much more confident, a proper youthful version of the Second Prince. It confidently swam into the air.

However, as soon as it came out, its whole body suddenly jolted.

It felt the scrutinizing gazes from the Sea Dragon King, Turtle Prime Minister, Overlord Sea Legend, and a group of big shots.

"…" The Flood Dragon Shark suddenly panicked, wh-what did this mean?

"Don't be nervous, you can attack first."

Shi Yu smiled and said.

Then, he looked at Susu.

[Race Name]: Mutant Water Slime (Reincarnation of the Azure Sea Sprite)

[Attribute]: Water

[Race Level]: High Monarch (Quasi-Overlord)

[Growth Level]: Commander Level

[Race Skills]:

Low Level: Bubble (Technique Approaches the Dao), Lightning Resistance (Proficient), Poison Resistance (Proficient)

Mid Level: Water Regeneration (Proficient), Boiling Water (Proficient), Freezing Water (Proficient), Purification (Proficient)

High Level: Water Dragon Bullet (Proficient), Multiplication (Proficient), Rain Prayer (Proficient), Steam Explosion (Proficient), Guardian Water (Proficient)

Super Level: Water Element Control (Entry)

[Teaching Skills]:

High Level: Intimidation (Proficient), Absolute Sleep (Proficient)

Super Level: Infinite Devouring (Entry)

[Energy Value]: 90,000

The reason for letting Susu be an examiner was not just because it could store the properties of the Time Fruit in Infinite Devouring Space and use it at any time.

It was because after Overlord Sea Legend stopped him that day, Shi Yu temporarily gave Susu a small training session.

He just randomly leveled up some skills, not too high, but enough to give Susu strong combat power.

Plus, it could indeed cheat with the Time Fruit, without needing to use too much, just transforming a little bit of the properties to double its combat power, which was not something ordinary commander-level pets could contend with.

In addition, it was worth mentioning and somewhat regrettable that Susu still failed to awaken a super skill after devouring the million-year-old turtle shell.

Absolute Sleep also failed to become a race skill.

It only awakened a high-level water skill, Guardian Water.

However, this skill was somewhat useful.

As the name suggested, this skill could create a stream of water that could protect a designated target.

After training it to perfection, the stream of water created by using Guardian Water would have autonomous consciousness, could distinguish between friend and foe, and could sense dangerous auras. When danger approached, it would automatically protect the designated target, immune to most damage.

At the same time, after reaching the realm of mastery, it could detach from the user and exist independently in the outside world for a long time.

In summary, this was a very pet tamer-friendly move. Shi Yu planned to prioritize maxing out this skill for Susu in the future, so that it would not only have another talisman, but also another skill for making equipment…

"(Roar) Then I won't be polite!"

At the same time, under the gaze of many sea beasts, the Flood Dragon Shark roared and instantly gathered the Giant Devouring Shark skill in front of its mouth!

Buzz!

Around it, hundreds of water sharks the size of water bottles with fierce faces quickly condensed.

Instantly, these water sharks attacked Susu like a rain of arrows!

[Skill]: Giant Devouring Shark

[Introduction]: A water-type super skill that creates Giant Devouring Sharks composed of water elements. The Giant Devouring Sharks can devour the enemy's energy by biting and swallowing, and when the Giant Devouring Sharks return to the main body, they can replenish the devoured energy to the user.

It was unknown whether the Flood Dragon Shark was showing pity or taking the matter seriously. Although it used a super skill from the start and didn't underestimate the enemy, this super skill was relatively less lethal, only devouring the enemy's energy without causing any serious damage.

Hundreds of water sharks attacked Susu, but at this time, Susu only used a very simple skill.

"Puff!!!" Its body swelled up, round and round, and it blew bubbles, and then a huge bubble was blown up.

Seeing this scene, many sea beasts were slightly stunned.

Was it planning to use its low-level race skill to head-on collide with the Flood Dragon Shark clan's super race skill?

[Skill]: Bubble

[Introduction]: A low-level water skill that creates water bubbles. Water bubbles will cause a water explosion when touched.

No matter how they thought about it, these were not water skills of the same level.

However, the scene that followed exceeded the expectations of most sea beasts. Susu blew the bubble bigger and bigger. In the blink of an eye, the transparent water bubble became dozens of meters in size, and it immediately hid inside the bubble after blowing the bubble!

The attacking Giant Devouring Sharks failed to detonate the bubble at the moment of contact. Instead, they were absorbed into the bubble with a "thud" and stood there in a daze, not continuing to attack the Water Slime.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

In a short while, many Giant Devouring Sharks were counter-devoured by the bubble. After entering, they directly lost their intelligence. The Flood Dragon Shark also lost contact with them in a daze, startling it to immediately control the other Giant Devouring Sharks not to touch the bubble.

Unfortunately, under Susu's control, this huge bubble began to advance and continued to expand, suddenly swallowing a large number of Giant Devouring Sharks into it.

"Nin!! (I'll give it back to you!!)"

With the properties of the bubble wrapping skill enhanced by Technique Approaches the Dao, Susu directly cracked the opponent's skill. On its jelly pudding-like Water Slime body, it used the talent skill Elementalization to condense a water element hand. It made a finger gun gesture with its delicate hand.

It "biu~"ed once, raising its finger, and the huge bubble with a diameter of dozens of meters, unlike other bubble skills that flew slowly, flew towards the Flood Dragon Shark like a shot cannonball, a falling water star!

"Roar!! (Holy crap!)"

Seeing this wicked bubble skill, the Flood Dragon Shark was instantly dumbfounded, and the other sea beasts were also dumbfounded. When the Flood Dragon Shark reacted, it was already wrapped in the huge bubble.

At this time, Susu was already outside the bubble, watching the show quietly.

Seeing this, the Flood Dragon Shark roared, swung its body, and activated another extremely destructive super race skill, this time the "Deep Sea Teeth," known for its lethality and destructive power.

It was said that it could compress the power of the water flow comparable to a tsunami onto the clan's giant teeth, and combined with the innate giant teeth, form unparalleled tearing force, causing both physical and elemental damage!

Facing the bubble that wrapped it, the Flood Dragon Shark raised its head, its giant teeth turned into sharp blades, and it suddenly rushed towards the outside, trying to leave. However, these Deep Sea Teeth, which could cut off tsunamis, bit into the bubble, just like a fist hitting cotton. At this moment, the Flood Dragon Shark was dumbfounded again.

Countless sea beasts opened their mouths, watching the Flood Dragon Shark being played by the Water Slime.

Wait… this plot… isn't right!

Why was a Water Slime's ability so outrageous!

Low-level bubbles suppressing two super skills?

Even if the Flood Dragon Shark was weak and hadn't trained its super skills much, it shouldn't be crushed by low-level skills…

The next moment, something even more terrifying happened to the Flood Dragon Shark. The huge bubble suddenly began to shrink, instantly turning from a round bubble into a thin bubble film that clung to its body. At this moment, not to mention the skills that entered the bubble were out of control, the Flood Dragon Shark felt like it had instantly lost control of its body!

"I'll give you 10 seconds. If you can break free from the bubble, you can become an ordinary member of the Ministry of Environment."

"If you can't break free in 10 seconds, the bubble will explode, and you will fail this battle and this test." Shi Yu's squinting words were like the whisper of a demon in the Flood Dragon Shark's heart. It looked in horror at the distant, blurry Water Slime and struggled with all its might.

Then, it felt the bubble membrane clinging to its body becoming hot. Almost instantly, the Flood Dragon Shark felt like it was about to cook.

The current bubble was like a huge cooking pot boiling with hot water, making the Flood Dragon Shark miserable. Under the boiling water, its struggling became stronger and stronger, one second, two seconds, three seconds… eight seconds… nine seconds…

And this scene was even more outrageous in the eyes of many sea beasts.

A dragon of a low-level overlord race being controlled and tested by a transcendent-level Water Slime… They opened their mouths wide and quickly realized that Shi Yu was not lying, and there was no need to lie. This Water Slime, which they remembered as a chicken race, was ridiculously strong!

Like that Iron-Eating Beast, almost invincible at the same level, definitely comparable to an overlord race!

"Stupid kid—why did you pick it—something abnormal must be a demon, this Water Slime may seem weak, but there's obviously something wrong with it!" The Flood Dragon Shark overlord scolded its disappointing cub.

Wasn't it better to pick other pets? You screwed up!

Disgraceful!

A misfortune for the family!

"Roar!!!"

As time was about to run out, the Flood Dragon Shark roared. Finally, with Susu's release, it broke through the water bubble with a "pop" with an extremely excited expression and instantly swam away from the bubble.

There was no choice, it was an overlord descendant after all, it wouldn't be bad to take it in as an ordinary member to run errands. Shi Yu wasn't so unreasonable.

At the same time, the boiling shark-shaped bubble membrane reached its limit. The next moment, it exploded with a "bang," and almost instantly, the terrifying steam turned into a tidal wave of air, pushing in all directions. The Flood Dragon Shark, who had been happy to escape the bubble, was instantly pushed away in a daze and slammed heavily on the ground.

Then, the diffused steam produced a second explosion. The "rumbling" explosions swept across the entire air. On the Dragon Palace banquet, it was like fireworks, and the continuous explosions made the Flood Dragon Shark on the ground tremble.

It also made countless sea beasts open their mouths wide. They didn't expect a bubble to produce so many follow-up reactions.

The terrifying power made many sea beasts have no doubt that if this Water Slime hadn't given the Flood Dragon Shark a chance to escape, but had directly detonated the bubble, the Flood Dragon Shark would have been blown into rotten shark fins in an instant!

At this moment, the Flood Dragon Shark no longer had the desire to defeat the Water Slime and was just terrified.

"Congratulations on passing the ordinary member exam. Do you want to continue?"

In the sky, Shi Yu looked at the Flood Dragon Shark with a smile.

"Ninn!" Susu also crossed its arms, still not having had enough fun.

Below, the Flood Dragon Shark, with several burn marks on its body, was stunned and then shook its head frantically. What a joke!!!

If it continued, it would be dead!!

"I give up, I give up, being an ordinary member is also pretty good—" It said quickly.

Obviously, the Flood Dragon Shark, who wanted to pick a soft persimmon, directly suffered a big loss and didn't even let Susu convert the power of the Time Fruit!

Seeing this, the Sea Dragon King and other big shots all cast admiring glances at Susu. As expected of the Azure Sea Sprite reincarnation, it was awesome, different from ordinary Water Slimes, beating up overlord descendants!

Seeing that Susu hadn't been bullied, but had easily defeated the opponent, the Sea Dragon King was happy and very satisfied. However, the faces of those commander-level sea beasts instantly sank, just like the monarch-level sea beasts before.

When the monarch-level sea beasts complained that the commander-level test was also so outrageous, the commander-level sea beasts were even more crying. This Water Slime was obviously not easy to bully. They knew very well how much strength the Flood Dragon Shark had. Although it couldn't be said to be strong at the commander level, it was definitely not weak. Anyway, Shi Yu definitely, definitely didn't want them to easily become core members, they were sure of it!

At that moment, the little shark painfully touched its burn marks and seemed to feel that it couldn't be so embarrassed. Since it wasn't strong enough, it had to show its wisdom, ask more questions for the other sea beasts, highlight its sense of existence. It asked wisely:

"Minister Shi Yu, the commander-level test is so difficult, sob sob sob, what kind of test is the transcendent level, the awakening level?"

"Uh…" Little Shark's question really stumped Shi Yu. Shi Yu's idea was very simple, the overlord will, but he definitely couldn't say that directly, and the chances of finding it were really not high. He was silent for a moment, then felt that it wouldn't be good for Eleven, Ginseng Baby, and the others to use clones to test, so he thought for a moment and said:

"It's even simpler, the test for transcendent level and awakening level is to beat me, very simple, right." Now he had at least a 'bean of power', it shouldn't be difficult to deal with sea beasts below the commander level!

Sea beasts, Zhou Tianwang, and others: ???, Why was the test getting weirder and weirder!!!
