Longgong City Secret Realm.

Azure Island.

This is an island in Longgong City specifically used to entertain distinguished human guests.

During the Longgong banquet, visitors from Dong Huang reside in the buildings here.

For example, Bai Xi and others are all here at this time.

…

Not long after Shi Yu returned from the Motley Islands, he was quickly sent here to rest.

Furthermore, Immortal Dragon King, Saint Shell Physician, Coral Physician, and Jellyfish Physician, among other healers, escorted him the entire way.

There was no other way.

Shi Yu was too weak.

No.

Even "weak" couldn't describe Shi Yu's current condition.

Soon after Shi Yu asked for life resources, the Saint Shell Physician, Coral Physician, and Jellyfish Physician, who could replenish life force among these sea beast healers, condensed life droplets to help Shi Yu recover.

However.

Shi Yu's body was like a bottomless pit. Although he efficiently absorbed the life droplets, he still looked half-dead, which was terrifying.

The three overlord healers were directly shocked.

They were, after all, overlord-level healers.

And Shi Yu was just a master-level Beast Tamer.

What surprised them even more was that Shi Yu could still talk to them despite such a serious condition!

How strong must his physical fitness be?

The Immortal Dragon King even regretted that she only knew purification skills and not life-replenishing skills. Otherwise, she would have tried Shi Yu's limit.

In fact, Shi Yu still approved of the life droplet skills of the three overlord healers.

The effects of their skills were much stronger than those of Ginseng Baby.

At least it reduced Shi Yu's teaching ultra-level skill cooldown period by almost half.

This was something Ginseng Baby's skills couldn't currently do.

Shi Yu estimated that if Ginseng Baby wanted to surpass them, it would have to reach the monarch level and practice the Source of Life skill to near perfection.

However, at this time, although the teaching ultra-level skill cooldown time had been reduced by almost half, Shi Yu's condition was still a bit poor.

Because this overdraft was too serious, the body's protective mechanism made it difficult for him to withstand such sudden and drastic ups and downs. The closer he got to recovery, the worse the recovery skill effects became. What Shi Yu needed now was the body's autonomous regulation.

After all, whether it was supplements or skills, they were still external forces and couldn't perfectly convert into the life force Shi Yu needed.

Although Shi Yu felt that he was fine, since the Dragon Kings wanted him to rest, he would rest.

Due to the Poison Dragon incident, the Longgong banquet was postponed for three days.

In these two days, Shi Yu could rest however he wanted.

The entire medical team of Longgong City was at Shi Yu's beck and call at any time.

Several bottles of level 6 to level 8 life resources, life droplets, were also sent to Shi Yu, as well as body-strengthening Dragon Blood.

It could be said that Shi Yu's treatment was something even Little White Dragon didn't have.

"Sigh."

Inside the independent residence on Azure Island, Shi Yu looked at the level 8 life droplet, ten level 7 life droplets, one hundred level 6 life droplets, and a bottle of level 7 Dragon Blood on the table, and fell into deep thought.

He felt that with these life resources, he wouldn't have to worry about adding a few more ultra-level skills.

At this moment, Shi Yu really wanted to stay in Longgong City to level up.

After all, there were overlord-level healers here, which were much more useful than Ginseng Baby.

However, he soon shook his head. The National Competition was more important!

Lao Wu had already joined the team, and the mechanical pet Lao Liu was still waiting for him!

Moreover, Dong Huang would definitely not want him to stay in Longgong City for a long time.

Compared to Longgong City, Dong Huang definitely wanted to invest in the growth of the Sea Elf.

If befriending Longgong City only allowed Dong Huang's Beast Tamers to travel unhindered in the East Sea, then befriending a complete Sea Elf meant they could travel unhindered in almost the entire ocean.

This was very important for the development of a country. Conquering the ocean meant being able to freely conduct worldwide trade and make the country stronger.

"I feel like I'm already very strong now."

Currently, Shi Yu didn't use these resources right away, mainly because he felt that he couldn't use them now, and it would be a waste to use them.

He clenched his fists and felt the physical strength after this recovery, sighing.

"Eleven!"

Shi Yu summoned Eleven and said, "Dou Dou Bear!"

Eleven: Ying ying ying???

Was he going to beat Dou Dou again?

"I just want to see my current physical strength."

"Ying…"

A moment later, a leader-level Dou Dou Bear was summoned by Eleven.

The dazed and cute Dou Dou Bear used the Hardening skill to armor its entire body.

Then.

A fist with a sweeping wind landed on it.

Crack.

A moment later, the hardening armor on the Dou Dou Bear disintegrated. With a "bang," the Dou Dou Bear was sent flying by Shi Yu, and its body twisted before turning back into a golden bean.

"Ying ying ying!!" Eleven quickly picked up the poor Dou Dou Bear with tears in its eyes.

After all, it was metal that had fallen from its body.

It was nothing when it was sacrificed, but it hurt to see Shi Yu use it as a sandbag to test his strength.

"With my current state… my normal combat power should be equivalent to a weaker leader-level ferocious beast, right? Even if the opponent uses skills!" Shi Yu murmured, looking at his swollen fist.

Very good.

Set a small goal to try to beat a fully powered Dou Dou Bear as soon as possible.

After all, the stronger his normal combat power, the more powerful the Sword God Shi Yu template would be after being possessed by Chi Tong.

Putting aside how much attack power could be added, the main thing was that it could withstand more hits.

Shi Yu hadn't been beaten badly in the possessed state yet, but everything had to be prepared.

"Cough."

After testing his strength just now, Shi Yu felt a pain in his body and quickly summoned Ginseng Baby to heal himself continuously.

"Iii…"

A moment later, Ginseng Baby rubbed Shi Yu's fist while sighing.

You had to bully Dou Dou Bear even though your body hadn't recovered yet. You're getting your just deserts.

"Ying!" Eleven nodded while repairing the bean next to it. That's right, that's right.

"Otherwise, should I use Su Su to test?"

Eleven, Ginseng Baby: ???

Was hitting a water slime even more cruel!

Wouldn't it just be beaten into mud all at once…

Put away your cruel thoughts!

"Eh."

Suddenly, Shi Yu, who was sitting on the bed, said, "How should I put it? I suddenly have a bold idea."

"Ying?" "Iii?"

Eleven and Ginseng Baby looked at Shi Yu with puzzled expressions.

Did he really want to hit a slime…

"Obviously not." Shi Yu said:

"Chong Chong, Chi Tong, Su Su, all of you come out."

Shi Yu summoned the other three pets as well.

Chong Chong and Chi Tong were fine.

But after Su Su was summoned by Shi Yu this time, its round eyes stared at Shi Yu.

"Hey." Shi Yu also smiled at it.

"Su Su, look at this."

Shi Yu took out the set of women's armor that the Ice Dragon had given him from General Mu Huiyin.

[Name]: Gemini Silver Armor (State: Damaged)

[Level]: Level 6 (Intact State: Mythical Level)

[Introduction]: Damaged level 9 battle armor containing strong Taiyin and Taiyang power that can perfectly coordinate intersecting forces.

"Ning?" Su Su looked at the armor, not understanding.

Was it edible?

"This… you can't eat it for now."

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Use your Elementalization ability combined with Water Element Control to transform into a human form, put on this armor, and then, Chi Tong, possess Su Su, and fuse water and fire!!"

"Chong Chong, materialize a phantom of General Mu Huiyin for Su Su so it can see General Mu Huiyin's body type."

"Uu uu uu… (Wait, wait?)" Chong Chong teared up. Wasn't it agreed that it would use the [Ice Dragon General Rebirth Combination Tactic] with Chi Tong?

How come it was becoming a tool insect again now that they had a water slime.

"It's definitely water and fire that are more in line with intersecting forces." Shi Yu stroked his chin.

"And I estimate that Chi Tong definitely likes Su Su more than your phantom."

Before long, under Shi Yu's arrangement, Su Su transformed into a water element form and put on the Gemini Silver Armor.

Because it was a water element, it could freely adjust its body size. At this time, it perfectly put on the equipment without any obstruction.

Shi Yu and the others stared at the water element general in front of them, silently observing.

"Su Su, use Water Element Control to simulate the properties of frozen water and make yourself a little colder."

"Ning." Su Su obediently did so.

The next moment, the water element general exuded a cold aura.

"Mi!!" In mid-air, the little sword spirit Chi Tong's eyes lit up instantly, like a female pervert.

Su Su, snuggle~

"Ning??"

"Possess." Shi Yu said.

The next moment, the little sword spirit possessed the water element general. The moment the two came into contact, a bright blue and red light shone on them. Under the flashing light, a taiji pattern composed of water and fire appeared before Shi Yu's eyes. Amidst the "whoosh whoosh" sound, Chi Tong and Su Su's fusion seemed to have undergone a qualitative change. The energy value changes regarding them rose sharply before Shi Yu's eyes!

Boom!!

A moment later, a water element general with red hair and eyes, holding a flame longsword, appeared before Shi Yu.

[Energy Value]: 2,400,000

"Ning mi." The water element general, who was taller than Shi Yu, made a sound, looking at its state in surprise.

At this time, Shi Yu blinked.

He looked at Chi Tong and Su Su's new form in surprise.

Damn.

It actually worked.

It was much, much, much higher than the energy value of Chi Tong possessing himself.

2.4 million.

It should be known that the sum of their two energy values was less than 240,000, and they were both leader level!

Although the Mu Huiyin armor had contributed, Shi Yu couldn't wear it at all, so this possession effect was undoubtedly extremely strong.

Generally speaking, the best possession target for a dead spirit was the Beast Tamer himself who had a contract with it. Even if Chi Tong possessed Eleven, Chong Chong's phantom, or Ginseng Baby, it wouldn't bring as much bonus as possessing Shi Yu. But now, because of the Mu Huiyin armor, Chi Tong temporarily had a more perfect possession target.

Chi Tong and Su Su's water and fire combination maximized the equipment effect of the Mu Huiyin armor!

Now, they were only leader level. When they both broke through to the monarch level and then combined, how strong would their power be?

Although it might not reach the outrageous ten times increase, it shouldn't be a problem to crush Eleven at full power.

[Eleven: ??]

"Uu uu." Chong Chong also felt the power of Chi Tong and Su Su after using the equipment. It wiped its tears. It had said that equipment was the most critical element of combat power!

It was also quite strong with the Ice Dragon's Whisker, Sea Dragon's Scale, and Tyrant Dragon's Fang. It suggested that the equipment system be permanent!

"Iii…" Ginseng Baby looked at Chi Tong and Su Su's combination with envy.

Why didn't it have such a perfect double-team partner?

Ginseng Baby looked bitter. If there was a pet teaming up with it, the pet would probably want to eat it the most and then become stronger itself.

It was better to not have this partner!

A moment later, Chi Tong and Su Su released the possession state.

Chi Tong returned to its sword spirit form, while Su Su returned to its water slime form.

After this recovery, Chi Tong's gaze towards Su Su changed.

So bouncy, so cold, so soft!

It suddenly liked this little slime that joined the team later.

"Ning!" At this time, Su Su was also very surprised by the change in its strength just now.

It felt that even defeating the Mud Dragon that invaded Shuiqi Island wouldn't be difficult for it now!

It looked at Chi Tong, and its gaze also changed somewhat.

Good sister!

"Ning!"

"Mi!"

A moment later, the two good sisters snuggled together to exchange possession experiences and combined skills.

Shi Yu, who had researched a new double-team tactic with extremely high potential, was sighing that he was indeed amazing. He had finally thrown away the hot potato Mu Huiyin armor, saving Little Chi Tong from thinking about letting him wear it every day.

As for Eleven, Chong Chong, and Ginseng Baby, they sighed beside them.

Damn it.

Out with the old, in with the new.

The classic Ying Ji Changkong, Buhan Yiji, and Yi Jia Wu Di Hongzha Ji tactics were gone forever, completely lacking the gorgeousness of these new tactics.

"Lord Shi Yu."

"Lord Shi Yu, are you there!!"

Just as Shi Yu and the others were messing with the new tactics with Su Su and taking the opportunity to integrate it into the team quickly, Prime Minister Turtle came again.

"What's wrong, Prime Minister Turtle."

After throwing the pets to the ruins to mess around, he directly invited Prime Minister Turtle, who was walking upright, in.

Although this Prime Minister Turtle was only at the monarch level and had an extremely low will level, its energy value was terrifyingly high, reaching 9.96 million, which Shi Yu couldn't understand.

This was much, much higher than Eleven at full power combined with Gao Xuan.

In other words, this seemingly unreliable Prime Minister Turtle was a super powerhouse!

He now suspected how many years this Prime Minister Turtle had lived.

If it had lived for hundreds of years, it had probably eaten countless treasures in Longgong City during this period.

Otherwise, this energy value was definitely unscientific.

"Lord Shi Yu, I found a few treasures with high quality and low levels that you mentioned from the treasure vault. Please take a look and see if any of them are needed by the Sea Elf."

"In addition to water-type resources, there are also resources of other types. Please take a look at them all."

Prime Minister Turtle handed over a booklet.

The pictures and information in the booklet were all just made with ink.

The meaning of high quality and low level was easy to understand.

For example, the Nutritional Fruit made by Ginseng Baby. Limited by its growth level, the energy level after exhausting its strength to make it was only level 4. However, because its Nutrient skill had been maxed out, the quality of the Nutritional Fruit it made was very high.

This was high quality and low level.

Similarly, the Dragon Pearl that Chong Chong absorbed came from the demigod-level Mirage Dragon. Initially, it was definitely a mythical-level resource, a level 9 resource. But because of the passage of time, energy loss, and exhaustion, the energy level had been reduced to level 4. However, because of its Dragon God's Dragon Pearl, the quality was definitely ridiculously high, something that other level 4 resources couldn't compare with.

And the Mu Huiyin armor that the Ice Dragon gave was also an example of high quality and low level.

Now, if Shi Yu wanted to further advance Su Su's race level, he could only find similar resources besides waiting for the Sea Inheritance.

After all, if the resource level was too high, limited by its growth level, it wouldn't be able to devour and digest it.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Turtle." Shi Yu took the booklet and looked through it one by one without being polite.

He wasn't very resistant to being invested in. Looking at Dong Huang, which of the five major consortia hadn't been built up by attracting investments everywhere? Looking at history, there was no powerhouse who hadn't accepted investments. It was fine to accept more investments now and then return them in double when he grew up. This was also the purpose of all investors. The current investment was for a greater return in the future.

Shi Yu was in need of resources right now. He wouldn't refuse for nothing.

Making friends everywhere and attracting investments everywhere was the fastest way to become stronger!

Of course, the reason he accepted so readily was also because Shi Yu knew that he had the ability to repay in the future, and others were also clear about this. Obviously, if he didn't have potential, he might not be able to get investment.

Tears of the Mermaid.

This was a gem-shaped resource. It was estimated that the Gem Cat would be overjoyed.

Black Water Pearl.

It was about the same, still Gem Cat's joy.

Spirit of Coral, Million-Year Turtle Shell… Shi Yu continued to look through them and discovered that Longgong City was really rich. Perhaps this wasn't even all of Longgong City's collection, but just Sea Dragon King's personal collection. Was this the wealth of a totem-level dragon?

"Umm…"

A moment later, Shi Yu aimed at a resource that seemed more suitable.

[Name]: Dead Fire Sea

[Level]: Level 5

[Introduction]: When the lava surface of an underwater volcano eruption was rapidly cooled by seawater at the bottom of the sea, a overlord race elemental spirit was born under the intertwined extreme heat and extreme cold. However, it died immediately after being born due to the harsh surrounding environment, leaving only the elemental core.

Shi Yu: "…"

Damn, unlucky child.

So it was called Dead Fire Sea?

After seeing this, Shi Yu immediately thought of the combined tactics that Su Su had just researched with Chi Tong. Su Su undoubtedly represented extreme cold, while Chi Tong undoubtedly represented extreme heat. The power of the two of them could perfectly exert the effect of the Intersecting Sword.

But obviously, the two of them, with the Intersecting Sword, had Chi Tong as the core of the tactic.

This Dead Fire Sea looked a little interesting. He wondered if Su Su could evolve some skills that were better adapted to extreme heat power by devouring this, so that their combined tactics could become a dual-core system.

In addition, this level wasn't very high…

Shi Yu continued to look through it. However, there weren't that many perfectly matched resources. He flipped through a lot, but he only found the Dead Fire Sea as the most interesting resource. As for the others, it wasn't that they couldn't be devoured, but the randomness was too strong, and the skills that were opened up might not have any value.

"Hmm??"

Suddenly, Shi Yu flipped to the back and found a strange picture.

Was this a sheep's horn?

No!

[Name]: Qilin Horn Fossil

[Level]: None

[Introduction]: Suspected to be a fossil of a mythical-level life form, the divine beast Wind Qilin.

"Damn." Shi Yu exclaimed suddenly.

"Uwa." Prime Minister Turtle was startled.

"Damn, damn, damn." Shi Yu exclaimed one after another, "Prime Minister Turtle, this fossil… seriously?"

"Fossil of a mythical creature?? No joke."

"This, that fossil, indeed, it is suspected to be a fossil of the mythical creature Wind Qilin, and at the very beginning, it may have been a mythical-level resource." Prime Minister Turtle said.

"It was obtained from the Dragon God Ruins by a certain generation of Dragon God countless eons ago. It is said that at the beginning, its energy level was close to a level 10 mythical-level resource."

"But the problem is, although the energy level is very strong, this fossil has almost no effect. It is just purely powerful in energy and has no use…"

"In the end, it was collected by Longgong City for generations, and then it was still useless. It has been transferred to the hands of Lord Azure Dragon King to the present. Its energy level has also been reduced to level zero under the scouring of several hundred million years, without a trace of energy fluctuation."

"However, because its origin is really not simple… no Dragon King wants to throw it away."

Shi Yu stared intently at the sheep horn, no, the qilin horn image, on the manual.

Fossil!!?!

Moreover, it was still a fossil of a mythical creature?!

At this moment, Shi Yu's heart was pounding. The first thing he thought of was not letting Su Su devour it.

Rather, it was a fossil, dream theft, to materialize the divine beast Wind Qilin, even if it was just a phantom with one hundred millionth of its power!

Then, using the divine beast phantom as a template, to create the sixth mechanical pet!

Originally, his initial goal was an ancient species like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but now, he had unexpectedly discovered a fossil suspected to be from the mythical era???

Damn it, he didn't want any ancient species. He would go for a divine beast species mechanical type.

Gundam Mecha Qilin, Super Battleship Qilin!

Of course, the premise was… this thing had a dream, and he and Chong Chong could enter and copy it.

But no matter what, Shi Yu was completely attracted by this qilin horn fossil at this time.

"Prime Minister Turtle, can we also choose this fossil?" Shi Yu asked.

"Of course, Lord Sea Dragon King, Lord Azure Dragon King, and Lord Immortal Dragon King said, choose whatever you want!" It said.

"But Lord Shi Yu, are you sure you want this… This has been studied by many generations of Dragon Gods and Dragon Kings, but it is basically useless…"

"I'll think about it." Shi Yu said.

"Okay… by the way." Prime Minister Turtle reminded, "Lord Sea Dragon King also said, would you like to go to the treasure vault to pick a few more resources to use as rewards for the Longgong banquet the day after tomorrow?"

"Hmm?"

"At the Longgong banquet, many overlords will take out some resources as rewards to let the younger generation of Longgong City compete and contend at the banquet. At that time, you and Lord Ice Dragon King will also attend the banquet as 'Longgong City's core high-level officials'. I don't know if you plan to participate in this Longgong banquet segment."

"According to Lord Sea Dragon King's intention, it would be a good choice to take out some resources to greet the younger generation of Longgong City. He will provide the resources."

Shi Yu: "…"

Good fellow, even he, the Minister of Environmental Protection, could test those overlord cubs, monarch cubs, and even Zou Tianwang, Bai Xuejie, Yin Zhengfan, and others with rewards like those overlord big shots??

Ah, this… However, because of his small seniority, Bai Xuejie and others might not know about the Poison Dragon Totem and even his situation…

"Cough, this is not necessary. Let me take a look. As for the resources as rewards, I should have some here…"

Shi Yu felt that it was better not to trouble Sea Dragon King with this kind of thing. Instead, it was better to lure those overlord cubs with time fruits, especially for the dragons who grew slowly. Time fruits, this kind of time-based treasure that temporarily obtained a higher realm, should still be very valuable…
