Grand Prime Minister Turtle introduced Ice Dragon and Shi Yu, and many overlords and monarchs fell silent.

This was truly explosive news...

They wondered what changes the addition of Ice Dragon and Shi Yu would bring to Dragon Palace City.

"Then, the Dragon Palace Banquet is now officially underway."

"I hope everyone has a pleasant time at this banquet~"

Grand Prime Minister Turtle said in mid-air, "Next, the banquet will be a free-for-all for everyone~"

With that, Grand Prime Minister Turtle descended.

The entire Dragon Banquet Island became noisy again.

The Dragon Palace Banquet was very simple.

Many sea beast overlords and sea beast monarchs could do whatever they wanted, such as showing off their children.

Besides eating, drinking, and chatting, the most lively activity was showing off offspring.

Usually, the corresponding ocean overlord elders would take out a rare resource as a gimmick.

For example, whoever defeated their child would receive the resource.

Of course, the Dragon Palace Banquet had even seen martial arts contests for marriage, turning into a large-scale matchmaking event.

In addition, some small forces could offer treasures to the Sea Dragon King or a certain overlord force.

Anything imaginable was allowed at the Dragon Palace Banquet. The Sea Dragon King would not interfere, only silently supervising from above.

With the Sea Dragon King watching, even with so many sea beasts, the Dragon Palace Banquet could maintain order.

Over the years, everyone had formed tacit rules.

"No matter what, you must obtain the Holy Pearl bestowed by the Saint Healing Immortal Clam Physician, do you hear me!"

Somewhere, a clam monarch said to its child, who was even better than itself.

"But I don't want to study medicine! Studying medicine won't revitalize Dragon Palace City!" said this White Star Clam, who had just entered the monarch realm and possessed an extraordinary temperament.

"Are you going to listen to me or to yourself?!"

At every Dragon Palace Banquet, the Saint Clam Physician would bestow a fixed number of Holy Pearls for the sea beasts to compete for. This Holy Pearl would allow clam creatures to learn a super-level healing skill. After learning it, they could also join the Saint Clam Physician's medical team and receive its guidance, making it a coveted resource for many clam clans.

"I heard that the Mermaid Queen intends to arrange a betrothal for the mermaid princess in her belly this time."

"Whether you can pass the test and marry a rich woman, bringing glory to your ancestors, depends on you!"

A group of grotesque, ferocious-looking monarch sea beasts said to their offspring.

"We must compete for the Amethyst Source Water."

"We must obtain the quasi-mythical quality dragon blood to improve our bloodline."

Over time, which overlord force would offer what resources had become fixed. Many sea beasts came specifically for the rewards of a certain force, even if it meant joining them.

Of course, this was for the monarch forces. For these overlord forces, the most important thing was to showcase the power of their forces and the outstanding talents of their descendants.

However, this time, none of the overlord forces took the lead.

The reason was simple. With Ice Dragon King becoming the most distinguished guest of this banquet, everyone wanted to see if Ice Dragon King had anything to offer.

Everyone looked over, and Shi Yu on Ice Dragon slowly floated up, quickly rising into mid-air, replacing Grand Prime Minister Turtle's previous position, becoming the focus of attention for many sea beasts.

"This time, let me start things off."

Shi Yu, unfazed by the gazes of tens of thousands of creatures, said.

Since he was recruiting, he had to start early, or else all the talented individuals would be snatched away.

"The Dragon Palace Environmental Protection Department is newly established. Currently, besides me, the sole commander, it lacks a group of capable, determined, and responsible members."

"I want to use this occasion to recruit some members for the Environmental Protection Department."

Shi Yu's words caused an uproar.

In fact, many ocean overlords were still confused about this Environmental Protection Department. Now, they wanted to see what Shi Yu had to say.

However, Shi Yu did not seem to intend to introduce the Ocean Environmental Protection Department in detail.

Instead, he directly said, "The Ocean Environmental Protection Department is not as complicated as you might think. The core is to purify the ocean and keep the sea its original color. It mainly targets monsters like the Poison Dragon Totem that release radioactive toxins and pollute the ocean."

"Therefore, the recruitment conditions for the Ocean Environmental Protection Department are: we hope you have purification abilities. If you don't, it doesn't matter. If you have enough combat potential, you can also join the Ocean Environmental Protection Department. The department will even tailor purification abilities for you."

Countless sea beasts looked at Shi Yu. At this moment, they were not concerned about this, but about the benefits of this Environmental Protection Department.

Even the most basic ocean legions of Dragon Palace City had clear promotion channels and merit rewards, allowing them to see a bright future. If the Environmental Protection Department did not have enough benefits, it would be difficult to attract some sea beasts to join.

Although Shi Yu's appearance was very mysterious and he might have big secrets, not many sea beasts were willing to gamble on a strange organization.

"Shi Yu is serious..." Zou Tianwang and the others exchanged glances.

Good heavens, openly forming factions at the Dragon Palace Banquet.

"Of course, joining the Ocean Environmental Protection Department also has certain benefits."

"For example, every member of the Environmental Protection Department can receive an Environmental Protection Badge. This badge is a symbol of being a member of the Environmental Protection Department." With that, Shi Yu took out a blue, flattened slime-like circular badge.

As Shi Yu took out this badge, many sea beasts were stunned.

However, before they could wonder for too long, Shi Yu immediately explained:

"You may be curious, what other functions does this badge have besides representing the identity of a member of the Environmental Protection Department?"

"I will now demonstrate."

Shi Yu lightly pressed the badge, and the next moment, astonishing cold energy erupted.

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying dragon roar instantly reverberated, causing many sea beasts to briefly lose their minds.

Even the overlord sea beasts were no exception, their spirits faltering for a moment, directly intimidated by the dragon's might, receiving suppression from their bloodlines.

At the same time, wind and snow condensed, and a terrifying Ice Dragon phantom was born beside Shi Yu.

This Ice Dragon phantom was massive, its body seemingly composed of ice stones, its color a mixture of icy blue and deep purple, representing extreme cold.

It was exactly the same as the Ice Dragon King next to it, with almost no difference except for its size!

Many sea beasts looked at the smaller Ice Dragon phantom and the Frost Giant Dragon Totem lying in the dragon nest, comparing them, and slightly opened their mouths.

"This badge is entwined with the Dragon Might of Ice Dragon King, and most importantly, through this badge, the user can summon a phantom of Ice Dragon Senior three times. The phantom of Ice Dragon King also possesses the super-level time-based skill, Frosty Sky Chill."

"This skill comes from Shi Di."

"Whether you want to learn time-based skills through the badge, or want to protect yourself and intimidate enemies with the badge, or want to feel the might of Ice Dragon King up close, you can do it with this badge."

Shi Yu squinted his eyes and said, "I forgot to mention, Ice Dragon Senior relied on the Frosty Sky Chill skill that can freeze time to possess a lifespan exceeding its own kind."

"If you are on the verge of serious injury, or encounter any special situation, you can summon the Ice Dragon phantom and use Frosty Sky Chill to freeze and seal your wounds. At this time, time is almost stopped, and you have ample time to wait for healing."

"The Poison Dragon Totem and the sea area polluted by it were sealed and frozen by Ice Dragon King with this skill."

"In addition, the user can also use the Environmental Protection Badge to self-freeze and enter a state of ice sleep. In this state, your life activities will be completely frozen, and the time on your body will stop. Even if ten years pass outside, you will still be the same when you wake up again."

"In a sense, it is a prop that can indirectly prolong life."

"Next, every member who joins the Environmental Protection Department will receive such a badge."

Shi Yu's words moved countless water-based sea beasts.

Damn, a badge that can summon Ice Dragon King's phantom three times?

It even comes with the super-level time-based skill Frosty Sky Chill?

What kind of equipment is this that can even preserve a time-based super-level skill!

How was it made?

"Tch." Ice Dragon curled its lips in the dragon nest. This kid Shi Yu let that bug run into its dream for a long time while it was sleeping. After it came out, that bug could even simulate Frosty Sky Chill. This was outrageous.

Although it only had entry-level effects and its power was super nerfed, it was still Frosty Sky Chill, custom-made for it by Shi Di!

That butterfly's dream-stealing skill was so abnormal that even Ice Dragon couldn't help but think.

At this time, under the cooperation of Shi Yu and Ice Dragon, the Environmental Protection Badge, with the Ice Dragon phantom as a guardian spirit and entwined with the deterrence of a totem-level Ice Dragon, was the most basic equipment for members of the Environmental Protection Department.

This equipment had a value that could be high or low. In terms of level and time limit, its shelf life was not long, and it was mass-produced. However, in terms of the power it contained, it was extraordinary. At this time, even some overlord-level sea beasts were very envious.

After all, the ice and water elements were inseparable. As long as they were water-based creatures, they could basically learn ice-based skills. Faced with the opportunity to come into contact with skills like Frosty Sky Chill, who wouldn't want to try, even though it was highly unlikely that they would learn it? But every life had a gambler's mentality.

Most importantly, such badges were given away upon joining the Environmental Protection Department, making them too easy to obtain.

Even some overlords wanted to have a name on the roster of the Environmental Protection Department to take one back and study it.

Imagine, if they encountered any special situation, such as an incurable injury or an unpurifiable poison, they could completely save their lives with the Environmental Protection Badge and wait for a cure or purification method to appear.

During the era of the Martial Emperor Dynasty, if the Martial Emperor could have encountered a totem with the power of time, he might have been able to extend his life for a long time.

This was the power of Frosty Sky Chill; all processes in the lifeform could be time-stopped.

This was the power of Buggy's skill-approaching-dao level Dream Stealing. As long as it was given enough time, it could even simulate the other party's super-level racial skills!

Equipment crafted with rare super-level skills as the core naturally had no need to mention their value. The most important thing was that it was unique, and it would be difficult to have duplicates.

"This..."

"I want it!!"

On the human side, Yu Shu was also extremely envious, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

Damn it, he had long coveted Shi Yu's ability to summon the Ice Dragon phantom.

Now, Shi Yu could even manufacture the phantom into equipment and give it away? Was it possible to be this outrageous?

"Can this resist aging?" The blue-haired girl was also envious.

"Probably..." Xia Qingwei was silent.

Bai Xi curled her lips. Wasn't it better to use the Time Fruit to transform into a loli? Shi Yu had even better things!

She didn't know if Shi Yu would take it out later. In her opinion, that was much more useful than Frosty Sky Chill.

Seeing this badge, Baha Legend also narrowed his eyes and nodded. The value of Frosty Sky Chill was not inferior to his Giant Kun's Infinite Devour. They were both top-notch super-level skills. Using this equipment as an enticement was indeed enough.

"Roar—"

"Hoo woo—"

This equipment was valuable because it was rare, involved the protection of Ice Dragon King's Dragon Might, and involved the dual time and ice elements of Frosty Sky Chill.

Many sea beasts became restless. If joining the Environmental Protection Department meant getting this, then joining didn't seem like a loss.
