"Alright, alright."

"Then I'll leave it to you guys."

"Hurry up and let me see the power of that so-called forbidden weapon."

Seeing everyone so confident, the Ice Dragon said casually.

"No problem."

"However, I might need some time to prepare." Gao Xuan said.

After speaking, he looked at Principal Feng, Chairman Feng, and the others.

At the same time, his gaze also lingered for a moment on Shi Yu of the Imperial Capital University, who was taking advantage of his absence.

More accurately, it fell behind Shi Yu, trying to penetrate Chi Tong, who was clad in silver armor.

[Race Name]: Sword Spirit (No detailed classification data available yet)

[Growth Level]: Commander Level

[Energy Value]: 180,000

Seeing this little Sword Spirit, Gao Xuan understood why the Imperial Capital University had swept the battle against society.

This was the first time he had seen a Commander level pet with such a high energy value.

Little Chi Tong's energy value was indeed terrifying. It should be known that even the Third Prince of the Dragon Palace City, the offspring of two Dragon Clan Totems, who had grown up eating delicacies from the Dragon Palace City, only had an energy value of 160,000 at the Commander level.

Those ordinary Overlord races had even lower energy values at the Commander level, with most even having less than 100,000.

In Gao Xuan's opinion, after this Sword Spirit broke through to the Monarch level, its energy value could at least increase twentyfold... and this was still the norm. Furthermore, the undead could fuse with mechanical beasts like Mechanical Spiritualists... then it would be even higher.

[If this Sword Spirit breaks through to the Monarch level, it might pose a slight threat to the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast. To ensure a more stable national championship, it seems necessary to strengthen the fire immunity system.] Gao Xuan analyzed silently in his heart.

Mainly, this National Competition was too important to him, and all unstable factors had to be considered!

At the same time.

Principal Feng laughed and said, "Don't rush, Chairman Feng, please confirm the surrounding situation again."

"Little Gao, go prepare yours."

"Alright, Senior Feng." After Gao Xuan finished speaking, he directly entered the body of the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast and flew into the sky.

After Gao Xuan and the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast flew into the sky, Shi Yu below spoke.

"Speaking of which, aren't forbidden weapons supposed to be activated by Legendary Beast Tamers?"

"Why is there also a small, weakened version? What's the meaning?"

Principal Feng glanced at Shi Yu and said, "Um... it was also researched by the Mechanical Legend... but it's said that only Beast Tamers with awakened talents can use it. It's considered an exclusive trump card. Under normal circumstances, it's enough to unleash a blow that severely injures an Overlord."

"But well, the limitations are huge, and it's easily countered. Don't think that this kind of forbidden weapon can severely injure an Overlord, but it's completely helpless against skills like Void Concealment of space-type pets. Therefore, it can only be used in specific situations."

"Uh." Shi Yu said:

"Mechanical Spiritualists really have a lot of tricks..."

"Don't worry, the National Competition definitely won't allow the use of forbidden weapons, even small ones." Lu Qingyi said with a smile from the side.

"Do you have the confidence to snipe this Gao Xuan?" She continued.

Shi Yu was stunned, suspecting that Senior Lu was holding a grudge.

Because Senior Lu had been defeated by a genius from the Imperial Capital University when she participated in the National Competition.

Although that person wasn't Gao Xuan, and it was said that he later joined the Tenth Bureau, that didn't affect the fact that Gao Xuan was also from the Imperial Capital University.

"Shi Yu can definitely do it."

"No problem."

Although Chairman Feng, Master Lin, and the others didn't know if it was possible, they were definitely closer to Shi Yu.

The National Competition was still a relatively important event among young Beast Tamers, not only determining the educational funding that the association allocated to the nine major universities, but also bringing a lot of benefits to the hometowns of the players who achieved results.

Chairman Feng, Master Lin, and the others were still waiting for Shi Yu to promote Iron-eating Beasts in the National Competition.

Now, Shi Yu was the hope of the whole village.

Principal Feng coughed and said, "However, according to inside information, the situation for this year's National Competition is somewhat special. Gao Xuan is probably going to risk his life to win the championship."

"How so?" Shi Yu was stunned.

Senior Lu said, "Because the prize for this year's National Competition seems to be provided by the Fourth Bureau, and it's more luxurious than in previous years. It's a batch of top-tier mechanical resources."

"Although these resources seem ordinary to ordinary Beast Tamers, in the eyes of Mechanical Spiritualists, those materials are 'top-grade materials' that can be used to modify Overlord race mechs."

"It can be said that the Fourth Bureau has almost determined that Gao Xuan will be the champion of this National Competition, so they're being so generous to motivate Gao Xuan."

"Of course, I feel that this reward can also motivate you..." Lu Qingyi smiled slightly. Shi Yu had told her and Bai Xi about obtaining the Awakening Mirror, but they hadn't told anyone else yet.

The Awakening Mirror... could also be used for mechanical materials, and Shi Yu would definitely be interested.

Shi Yu: Shocked.

"Top-tier mechanical materials???" Shi Yu instantly felt the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain so hot, it was his body burning!

"Uh." From the side, Principal Feng was a little puzzled when he saw Shi Yu and Lu Qingyi talking in some kind of encrypted conversation again.

What, Shi Yu also wanted mechanical materials??

Oh right, it seemed... Shi Yu seemed to want a mechanical beast, and had previously asked Dean Hao if Gudu University could create Overlord race mechs.

Of course, the answer he received was definitely no.

"If you can get this batch of rewards, and then supplement it yourself, you might be able to find a Legendary Mechanical Spiritualist to help you create an Overlord race mech." Principal Feng said.

If it were before, he definitely wouldn't have encouraged Shi Yu like this.

After all, Gao Xuan had probably invested tens of billions of resources into the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast.

The Mechanical Spiritualist path was an even bigger money pit!

Such a Gao Xuan was simply invincible among his peers.

Considering these things, he would definitely tell Shi Yu to study hard and focus on archeology. Gudu University's combat level still couldn't compare to those top-tier universities.

But now, the situation was special, the times had changed... Principal Feng knew that Shi Yu had not only broken through to the Grandmaster level himself, but also had a 《bunch》 of Overlord race pets.

As long as all of these pets broke through to the Monarch level before the National Competition, he might be able to fight Gao Xuan.

Although Gao Xuan's Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast was a specially modified one, and had used a lot of resources to strengthen it, with an energy value far exceeding other Overlord races, he only had the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast as his pet, while Shi Yu had a bunch!

Even if Shi Yu had limited money, if one-on-one wasn't possible, could he not do a group fight?

"I understand." Shi Yu's motivation also increased.

However, he didn't want to find other Legendary Mechanical Spiritualists to help him create a mech with Overlord potential, but... wanted to create it himself!

Mechanical System Ancient Race!!

"That, what are the specific types and attributes of the materials??" Shi Yu asked curiously.

Principal Feng thought carefully and said, "It's hard to say, but based on the previous gains and research results of the Fourth Bureau..."

"The materials used as prizes are either wind-type or ice-type."

"I feel that the possibility of wind-type is higher."

"After Gao Xuan's Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast enters the Overlord level in the future, choosing to use wind-type natural energy as a power source would be a good choice. After all, the power of wind is almost always available."

From the side, Lu Qingyi agreed. Compared to fire-powered or electricity-powered mechs, wind-powered mechs were also quite good, with better adaptability.

Wind-type mech?

Shi Yu pondered, were there any ancient creatures that were wind-type?

"Sigh, it's been over 2000 years, and the competition between you humans is still so fierce..." The Frost Dragon muttered from the side.

Good heavens, people had already helped you destroy the Glacier Totem, and you were still coveting their mechanical materials!

Bad people!

However, it was willing to vote for Shi Yu. Just kidding, Shi Yu had contracted the spirit of its Beast Tamer!!

As long as Chi Tong broke through, and the spirit possessed him, how could anyone of the same generation be able to defeat Shi Yu!!

"If it comes down to it, we'll just self-destruct! If forbidden weapons aren't allowed, Moonburst definitely is." The Gem Cat also muttered.

If Shi Yu won the National Championship, the materials produced by Shi Yu in the future would be easier to sell!

However, blowing up other people's mechs wouldn't be good, right...

……

November, 178th year of the Alliance Calendar.

It had been more than a year and a half since Shi Yu transmigrated to this world.

Ping City, First High School.

A teacher wearing glasses was giving a lecture to a group of students on the playground.

His surname was Wang, and he was currently saying proudly: "A year ago, a small-scale gathering of fierce beasts occurred in the direction of the snow mountain."

"At that time, your teacher, I, lectured a few students about the legendary history of the Ice Field under a stone statue, revolving around this mutation."

"Among those people, there were your seniors Chen Kai, Zhuang Yue, and others..."

"Of course, there were also other people, and one of those students was very interested in this history. Under the careful guidance of your teacher, I, he embarked on the path of archeology. That's right, this person is the top scorer in the previous Gudu vocational assessment, Shi Yu! The pride of our Ping City!"

"After that, he lived up to my expectations and directly cracked the Ice Dragon Ruins."

"Thanks to him, today, our Icefield City can finally completely solve the hidden danger of the beast tide brought by the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain for more than 2000 years. It can finally be considered an explanation to the Beast Tamers and civilians who died in the beast tide 11 years ago."

Below, many students looked at Teacher Wang with starry eyes and said, "Teacher, can you ask Senior Shi Yu to come and give us a lecture?"

Teacher Wang: "..."

Basically... impossible. He had only met Shi Yu once and said a few words to him.

He wiped his sweat and said, "Shi Yu is very busy, so don't think about it. Instead, work hard to improve yourself and go to Gudu University to get to know Shi Yu yourself. If you're a guy, become brothers, if you're a girl, become a girlfriend. I heard he's still single."

"Alright, the countdown is about to begin. Let's wait and watch the beautiful scenery above the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain!"

At this moment, entertainment activities in various parts of Ping City were temporarily suspended, and countless Beast Tamers were watching the direction of the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain. There was Chen Kai, the top student after school whom Shi Yu first defeated, the pharmacist who had sold Shi Yu many tonics, and Chairman Feng's nephew with master potential...

The association presidents of the other eight districts and counties of Icefield City, and many masters, had also come to the vicinity of the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain, watching the tallest snow mountain with the Ice Dragon Ruins.

After a long time...

As the alarm sounded, many people in Ping District saw the sky suddenly turn red, with the clouds in the sky a fiery red, like a fire.

The sky was completely rendered crimson under the gathering of solar power, as if there was a volcano erupting below, which was dazzling.

In an instant, many people felt the temperature around them suddenly rise. The next moment, they heard a "boom", and dazzling golden light bloomed in the direction of the distant Ice Dragon Snow Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the golden light continued to expand, accompanied by earth-shattering loud noises, and rolling energy tides rose into the air like a volcanic eruption, blooming in the sky with a huge pattern that almost several cities around the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain could see clearly.

That pattern was like a dazzling red rose. The moment it bloomed in the sky, the energy it erupted quickly swept through the entire Ice Dragon Ruins, and the heat wave spread outward, melting countless snow and ice...

Ice Dragon Snow Mountain.

In a short while, this place had become a mountain of ice and fire. The outer area was still vast wind and snow, but the core area where the Ice River Totem was sealed had become a sea of fire.

The snow mountain was transformed into a volcano, connected to the sun, isolating external ice and snow energy, directly creating a spectacle where ice and fire coexisted.

In the distance, in the sky, a Flying Dragon Airship flew side by side with a Frost Dragon.

"Holy crap."

Seeing this scene, the Frost Dragon kept swearing "holy crap" in its heart, looking at the Flying Dragon Airship in disbelief.

Because the thing that had easily rewritten the environment of the snow mountain just now was launched by this big guy that wasn't even close to Overlord level.

But the Frost Dragon felt that the power of this strike could make itself feel tricky before it broke through!

Even when Shi Di was at the Grandmaster level, he couldn't use skills with such great power.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, what's going on? Isn't he a Grandmaster like you?" The Frost Dragon was shocked and telepathically said to Shi Yu.

"How can you beat this!!"

"I feel that the power of that thing's explosion is stronger than the power in Mu Huiyin's body."

"Little Chi Tong will be blown to death!"

"Moreover, this move is constantly drawing in solar power... I'm afraid that in a few decades, the entire snow mountain will be completely gone and become a volcano!"

Shi Yu: "..."

He responded to the Ice Dragon with a dark line:

"Didn't you listen carefully just now? This thing is one-time use only, and the preparation time is very long, and the usage restrictions are also great. The most important thing is that it's definitely forbidden to use in the competition."

I wonder if the power of the Ginseng Baby's self-destruction will hopefully catch up with this after it reaches the Monarch level... Shi Yu felt a bit discouraged.

After all, the Rose of the Sun could directly draw in the power of the sun, while the Ginseng Baby only borrowed the power of moonlight, and moonlight also originated from the sun, so the level was lower.

Huh... Since moonlight originates from sunlight, I wonder if the Ginseng Baby's Moonburst can also directly draw in the power of the sun after the level is high, so that the sun and moon can coexist!

"Oh yeah." After Shi Yu finished speaking, the Ice Dragon reacted.

Then, it looked at the sea of fire in front of it with a look of amazement.

But it was still amazing.

In the first Totem War, the lowest threshold for Shi Di's elite legion was also the Grandmaster level.

If those Grandmasters could unleash such power, then the first Totem War wouldn't have taken so long.

In minutes, the totems and overlords would be driven to barren lands.

The Ice Dragon had heard Shi Yu and the others boast about forbidden weapons for so long, and this time it finally gained some insight.

This was just a small forbidden weapon used by a Grandmaster.

Then, how strong would a normal forbidden weapon used by a Legend be?

The Ice Dragon shivered. What strange things had humans developed?

I really wanted Shi Di and Mu Huiyin to see it, but unfortunately... there was no chance...

"Mission complete."

After rewriting the topographical environment of Ice Dragon Snow Mountain with one strike, Gao Xuan walked out of the nutrient cabin in the Flying Dragon Airship with a calm expression.

But the coolness only lasted for three seconds.

Then, he tremblingly took out tonics and potions from his pocket and swallowed them. It seemed that the consumption was very high.

Shi Yu: "..."

Damn it, Mechanical Spiritualists also need to take medicine.
