After the team practice match, Shi Yu returned.

Having finally won the team practice match, Eleven also stopped training and kept wandering around Shi Yu, acting cute.

Shi Yu didn't hold back and pinched it for a long time.

I have to say, after getting used to petting Susu recently, grooming a panda again has a unique charm.

Eleven: (๑•ᴗ•๑)

"Ying ying ying."

Eleven's little thoughts were completely seen through by Shi Yu.

It meant, when would the reward for the team practice match arrive.

Putting so much effort into winning the team practice match was all for the legendary resources!

Good question.

Shi Yu also wanted to know.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Shi Yu's phone rang.

The caller was Principal Feng.

Shi Yu put Eleven on his shoulder and answered the phone.

"Principal Feng."

"Shi Yu, ah." Principal Feng's voice came from the other end.

"Do you remember what we talked about last time?"

Shi Yu was startled and looked sideways at Eleven.

Here it comes!

Whether your legendary resources arrive depends on what Principal Feng says next.

If it works out, then the resources will be available.

If it fails, we'll have to find other ways later.

"The Burning Gold has already been delivered to me. Are you coming to Gu Du, or should I give it to you in a couple of days when you go to Mo Du?"

This year's National Competition is held in Mo Du and is about to begin soon. In a couple of days, the team from Gu Du University will head to Mo Du.

Shi Yu will naturally go to Mo Du to participate in the competition then.

"Um, I'll go to Gu Du. I'll go to Mo Du with the school team then," Shi Yu said.

"By the way, Principal Feng, what about the legendary resources?"

Burning Gold!

This metal can allow Eleven to engrave a new inscription and awaken a new racial skill.

Shi Yu was naturally looking forward to this, but the legendary resources were also essential.

His money was all spent on buying evolution resources. Although evolution resources have the highest cost-effectiveness, once evolved, they can improve the potential of pets in all aspects. However, now, each of Shi Yu's pets has almost reached the end of its evolution, and it is very difficult to go further. Therefore, the cost-effectiveness of strengthening resources is now apparent.

Especially legendary resources, which are must-haves for both Monarchs, Overlords, and Totems.

They can allow a Monarch-level pet to be perfectly strengthened to the Overlord level, and allow an Overlord-level pet to have a chance to be strengthened to the Totem level, and can even allow a Totem-level pet to go further, saving countless years of hard work.

It's normal for a resource that has a chance to create a Totem-level pet to be difficult to approve.

"I knew you would ask about this," Principal Feng said with a chuckle. "Judging from the current progress of the approval, there is basically no problem, and the chances are still very high."

"The difficulty now is not whether you are qualified to obtain legendary resources, but whether it is too early for you, a Master-level, to hold legendary resources, and whether you can perfectly utilize the value of legendary resources, which is what the association is worried about now."

"By the way, tell me about your demands for legendary resources."

Hearing this, Shi Yu chuckled, realizing that it was stable. He said, "Metal element."

"It's best if it can strengthen vitality and energy value, a metal-type strengthening resource."

"I understand." Principal Feng nodded, knowing that it was for Eleven.

For a creature like the Jiuli War Beast, its racial three-dimensional stats have no shortcomings, but they can still be strengthened.

Their physique is comparable to that of a dragon and is among the top echelon of all pets.

Therefore, it is very difficult to continue strengthening their physique.

However, in terms of racial vitality and racial energy value, the Jiuli War Beast still has room for improvement.

Vitality determines a pet's lifespan, self-healing ability, recovery effect after receiving healing skills, and growth potential.

Under normal circumstances, in a battle with similar combat power, the pet with stronger vitality has a greater chance of surviving and winning.

Even with an extremely strong will, it is difficult to unleash miracles without the support of vitality.

Energy value represents how much energy a pet's body can withstand.

Although some pets can use the power of nature to fight, energy value is no longer so important to them. However, the more energy that can be tolerated in the body, the more benefits there will be. After all, the power of nature depends too much on the environment.

Like Susu and Baby Ginseng this time, their combat power was not perfectly displayed because they were fighting in an ice field.

If they were fighting in the deep sea, Shi Yu's other pets, except for Buggy, would probably be driven crazy, but Susu would definitely be in her element.

If they were fighting in a forest with a rich earth power, Baby Ginseng, relying on its endurance, might not be afraid of Eleven even if it couldn't hit it. Everyone could drag it out for ten days and ten nights.

Of course, an ice field is definitely not an excellent battle location for Chi Tong and Eleven. Everyone is about the same.

Only Buggy, because of the Power of Imagination, can ignore the adverse effects of various environments on itself.

From this point of view, Buggy is still powerful.

Therefore, Shi Yu's idea is that Eleven is already very perfect in terms of physique, so for the next legendary resources, it is better to strengthen Eleven's vitality racial value and energy racial value, so that it can become even more without shortcomings.

"Okay, I'll try to apply for suitable resources for you," Principal Feng said.

"No hurry, no hurry, take your time." Shi Yu was content.

This is indeed not urgent, because the concerns from above are also reasonable. Even if they give him legendary resources now, he won't be able to use them yet, just collecting them in advance.

To truly be able to use legendary resources, his Beast Taming Space must reach level seven, otherwise, if Eleven uses legendary resources now, it can indeed break through to Overlord, but he can't withstand it.

Moreover, if Shi Yu wants to cultivate a perfect Overlord, he has to raise their super skills to the perfect level in advance.

"Um, by the way, is the construction of the Marine Environment Protection Department going smoothly?" Principal Feng asked.

"It's going very smoothly. The Silver Sea Battleship is almost taking shape as a sea base. Brigadier General Xiao Qin is still very capable," Shi Yu said.

Although he hadn't visited the place often in the past half month, he could see the huge changes in the Silver Sea Battleship in just two occasional visits.

"That's good. Their family is indeed very powerful. Her sister and her mother are both very powerful mechanics, haha." Principal Feng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this year's special guest for the National Competition is Brigadier General Xiao Qin's sister."

"Legendary mechanic... Xiao Shuang?" Shi Yu was stunned.

Xiao Shuang is now nearly forty years old and was a super genius of the previous generation. Shi Yu's biggest impression of her should be that she possessed a huge dark mech built around a Ditto as its core!! It was very cool.

"Yes, she will present the award to this year's champion."

Shi Yu chuckled and said, "Oh, oh."

That's great.

Hopefully, with the relationship with Brigadier General Xiao Qin, he can touch the other party's mech and copy some powerful mechanical skills in advance, saving him the trouble of not knowing how to cultivate mechanical pets after obtaining a Ditto.

"I'm digressing, cough." Principal Feng said, "I just wanted to tell you that Dragon Palace City has invested a lot of resources in the Marine Environment Protection Department, right?"

"Besides investing in a base and a few talents, Dong Huang will also invest some resources later. See what you think is more suitable?"

If Shi Yu doesn't mention legendary resources, Dong Huang won't rush to give them to him. However, for the investment in the Environment Protection Department, even if Shi Yu doesn't want it, Dong Huang will desperately send things over.

It's not so much investing in Shi Yu as investing in the reincarnation of the Azure Sea Sprite.

If you don't treat a child well when they are young, don't blame them for not being close to you when they grow up.

Dragon Palace City has contributed both funds and beasts, and Dong Huang has nothing. Don't even mention befriending the Azure Sea Sprite.

"Then let's go with cultivation resources, cultivation resources for the reincarnation of the Azure Sea Sprite. Mainly some high-quality, but grade eight or lower, water-type cultivation resources." Shi Yu chuckled.

"Um, in addition to resources, the association seems to be preparing to open several top-level water-type pet training locations to you. I'll send you the information later."

"Understood." Shi Yu nodded.

"That's all I have to say, and there's also the matter of the National Competition... Um, you, just do your best. It would be great if you could win first place."

On the other end, Principal Feng had a strange expression. The last time Shi Yu was thinking about the reward for first place in the National Competition, he didn't think the chances were high.

After all, Shi Yu didn't have a single Monarch-level pet at that time, and Gao Xuan had been a well-known super genius for a long time.

In this situation, it was normal for him to think that Shi Yu's chances were slim.

However, who knew that Shi Yu would go to Dragon Palace City and cause such a big commotion. Not only did Eleven break through to the Monarch level, but after the breakthrough, it could even suppress the Thunder Dragon Prince!

In addition, Baby Ginseng shattered two Overlords, allowing Principal Feng to re-recognize the potential of the Time Fruit.

Although it can't achieve that kind of achievement, it should still be able to unleash an Overlord-level attack, right?

Now, as far as he knows, each of Shi Yu's pets has reached the Monarch level. In this situation, if Gao Xuan hasn't contracted a new pet for this National Competition, then Gao Xuan definitely doesn't have the ability to fight Shi Yu.

Having multiple contract slots but only contracting one pet was Gao Xuan's biggest weakness before, but it was also his biggest trump card.

If Gao Xuan chooses to use the empty contract slots to contract equipment to strengthen the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast this time, then his strength will probably skyrocket.

After learning about Shi Yu's strength, the Fourth Bureau of Emperor Capital University will definitely do everything they can to help Gao Xuan during this period.

Therefore, Principal Feng now has high expectations for Shi Yu, but he doesn't dare to have too high expectations. In short, it would be great if he could get first place, after all, the National Competition determines part of the education funding each year. But if he can't get first place, second place is also good. Anyway, he is content.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Shi Yu nodded. "I'll return to Gu Du tomorrow."

It was time for the Iron-Eating Beast Knight to reappear.

……

The end of this year can be said to be quite lively.

Not only is the National Competition in December worth looking forward to, but the National Professional Assessment in January next year is also a major hot spot.

In addition, the Sequence Contest, which has recently swept the nation, has filled the current Beast Taming field with vitality.

"Phew..."

In the high sky from the ice field to Gu Du, two people sat on each of the two white divine dragons.

Both of these people were wearing panda suits. The difference was that the young man was wearing black trousers, while the girl was wearing a black skirt with a panda tail decoration in addition to a loose white short sleeve.

"Are you used to it?"

Shi Yu asked Lin Xiuzhu next to him.

"Very exciting." The panda senior sister sat on the Dragon Palace City Third Prince materialized by Buggy, her face flushed, looking ahead.

This time, Shi Yu didn't choose to take a plane from the ice field to Gu Du, but directly traversed the wild areas, just like when he went to the neighboring Binhai City before.

Accompanying him to Gu Du and Mo Du this time was also Lin Xiuzhu. In Lin Xiuzhu's words, she couldn't miss the opportunity to promote the Iron-Eating Beast and Green Silkworm packages to the contestants who lost the National Competition on site.

After this competition, the Iron-Eating Beast and the Green Silkworm will definitely usher in another wave of enthusiasm.

Having witnessed Eleven's evolution and knowing that Eleven possessed several million energy points, Lin Xiuzhu was very confident in Shi Yu's strength.

Moreover, she also participated in Eleven's cultivation process in the early childhood rearing stage and the awakening of the royal bloodline stage. She had even greater expectations for how far Eleven could go in this National Competition than Shi Yu.

Not long after.

The two directly traversed the wild areas, arrived at the mountains cleared out by Gu Du University for students to train, and entered Gu Du University from here.

"Damn."

"What the hell is that."

The Gu Du University students who were training and training in the mountains all widened their eyes, looking at the two white divine dragons passing through the sky, with a ghostly expression.

After arriving at Gu Du University, Lin Xiuzhu chose to see the teacher and visit the three little Iron-Eating Beasts at the Iron-Eating Beast Research Institute. Now, these three Iron-Eating Beasts imprinted with "thought steel seals" have become the "school mascots" of Gu Du University. Although they have not yet become national treasures, they have taken the lead in becoming the "school treasures" of Gu Du University.

Gu Du University has decided that these three Iron-Eating Beasts will not be given away or contracted by students, and they will be raised for their entire lives with the resources of Gu Du University, just like Gu Du University raised a bunch of cats a hundred years ago, purely as a symbol of the campus.

Moreover, who said that pandas are not cats, haha.

It can also be regarded as an old tradition of Gu Du University.

The main reason is that these three pandas are very self-disciplined and train themselves every day, setting a very good example. If even the Iron-Eating Beasts are so hardworking, why shouldn't the students be?

Originally, the beast-eared girl senior sister wanted to contract one of the three, but later, she also changed her mind and planned to wait for a royal Iron-Eating Beast, the same royal family as Eleven. Now she has found a way to help the royal Iron-Eating Beast awaken its bloodline. In the future, royal Iron-Eating Beasts should appear one after another.

Bai Xi had already agreed with Lin Xiuzhu on this point, and even Senior Sister Lu had booked a royal Iron-Eating Beast with Lin Xiuzhu.

……

Inside Gu Du University, Shi Yu first found Principal Feng and got the Burning Gold from him.

Afterwards, he went to find Gem Cat.

The reason why he didn't go directly to Mo Du and came to Gu Du first was because Shi Yu planned to receive Gem Cat's treasure trove.

After returning last time, Gem Cat directly returned to Gu Du University to seclude itself. Shi Yu suspected that it was avoiding him.

However, it can avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth. He had seen the resource list of Gem Cat's treasure trove, and as agreed, not a single resource could be missing...

Although those resources were not comparable to a legendary resource, nor even half of one, selling them for a few billion should still be possible.

At that time, Shi Yu planned to use this money to strengthen his pets first.

If Shi Yu remembered correctly, Gem Cat also had an eighth-level treasure bead that sealed the soul of an undead Overlord. He wondered if he could unseal it and let Chi Tong chop it up, at least as half an Overlord-level undead, right?

There were also a bunch of other gems, treasure beads, and jade stones. From Gem Cat's collection of Dragon God Dragon Balls, one could know how rich its family was. It was a complete lucky cat, worthy of being the richest Overlord of Dong Huang's year.

"Where is your main body?"

In the resource area of Gu Du University, Shi Yu stared at this Gem Cat clone and asked.

"Forget it, a clone is the same. First, give me all the resources."

Gem Cat clone: (◑.◐)

"Meow. (I'm just a clone. The main body didn't tell me about any resources.)"

Shi Yu: ???

"Then do you know where it is? Go and call it over."

Gem Cat clone: (◑.◐)

"Meow. (I'm not sure, but I'll contact you immediately after I find it.)"

Shi Yu left. He suspected that Gem Cat was avoiding him.

But it wasn't a big problem. Anyway, the gem fruit Gem Cat took was not enough to eat for long. After it got hungry, it would definitely come out...

"First go back to the dormitory--"

Holding the Burning Gold, Shi Yu ran towards the dormitory. He would ignore everything else and see what skills this metal could awaken in Eleven!!!

……

Shi Yu's student dormitory.

It seemed like he hadn't been back for a long time.

Shi Yu instinctively wanted to release Buggy to clean up, but after thinking about it, he released Susu.

Its purified room, including the air, was fresh, and some harmful substances on the furniture would dissipate more thoroughly. Therefore, some decoration companies liked to contract pets with purification abilities, providing excellent service.

Susu: Ning ヽ(｀⌒´メ)ノ Leave it to me! Spotless!

After contracting Susu, Buggy became the biggest winner, not Chi Tong.

"Good child!"

After arranging the task for Susu, Shi Yu began to head to the ruins space, pulling Eleven to strengthen it.

On the spacious training ground outside Eleven's exclusive training room, Eleven excitedly looked at the Burning Gold that Shi Yu was holding.

This was a special metal the size of a fist, very irregular, containing blue flame patterns, as if the entire metal was about to burn!

At first glance, one would really think it was a special fire-type metal.

However, in fact, according to the research results of the Third Bureau, this metal was a special metal of the eighth level that could effectively strengthen the spirit.

Even if it was not used for Iron-Eating Beast evolution, it contained special energy radiation that could make the spirit and will of living beings "burn" and produce a huge fighting spirit.

Of course, this burning had nothing to do with flames, it was just a metaphor.

"It seems that the Burning Gold was the reward for breaking the record on the Majestic Platform of the Martial Emperor Ruins... It's a pity that Zhong Xuan said that the Burning Gold there was taken away by an ancient general, but now it can be regarded as making up for the regret." Shi Yu smiled and threw the Burning Gold to the expectant Eleven.

"An evolution resource that can make the spirit and will burn... I wonder if it can allow Eleven to break through in terms of will..." While Shi Yu was thinking, Eleven had already excitedly eaten the Burning Gold.

Boom!!!

Immediately afterwards, Eleven's eyes flashed, and a substantial blue coercion field slowly spread out from its body, causing its aura to rise steadily.

"Ying!!!" Because it had experienced engraving inscriptions several times before, it was very skilled this time.

It quickly engraved the corresponding inscription and began to use the digestive ability brought by the inscription to receive the power of the Burning Gold and transform it into potential!

Squeak——

Eleven hardened the claws of its right palm and slowly began to slide it on its body.

Then, under Shi Yu's nervous gaze, white light began to surround Eleven's body!

At this time, Eleven was very excited because it immediately felt the rising power that was faster!

"Awoo!!"

Eleven roared, and its body was completely wrapped in white light. At the same time, the illustration book in front of Shi Yu was quickly displaying Eleven's growth changes.

[Energy Value]: 4.62 million

It didn't increase much, because the Burning Gold was not a traditional strengthening resource. It didn't increase the various aspects of pets much, it just symbolically increased Eleven's mental strength. Otherwise, if it was replaced with other eighth-level strengthening resources, Eleven's power would be strengthened even more.

Of course, Shi Yu didn't expect this. What he was more looking forward to was Eleven's new skill!

Could it help with practicing Overlord Will?

It was his biggest regret that Zhong Xuan left so quickly that he couldn't ask clearly in advance what the Iron-Eating Beast's super skills were.

Soon, the white light and coercion on Eleven's body all gradually subsided in this process. At the same time, Shi Yu instantly knew the information of this new skill through the spiritual connection between the Beast Tamer and the pet!

[Skill]: Unstoppable

[Attribute]: Metal, Mental

[Level]: Super

[Introduction]: When in a desperate situation, it can unleash power beyond the limit, unstoppable, depending on the strength of the spirit and will.

Shi Yu: Hmm???

Damn, I wanted a skill that would help with practicing Overlord Will, I didn't ask you to awaken a skill similar to Overlord Will. Is this turning Overlord Will from passive to active??

"Awoo!!!" At this time, Eleven's eyes lit up. It felt that this skill was very powerful.

It was very compatible with Latent Edge!

Latent Edge could unleash power beyond the limit, but it would cause severe damage to itself. If it unleashed too much power, it would even enter a near-death state and fall into a desperate situation!

There was no need for the enemy to put itself in a desperate situation. It could manually activate the desperate mode through Latent Edge, and two consecutive waves of super explosions were really unstoppable!

"Ying ying ying!" Eleven thought it was great.

"Do you want me to teach you a 'Resurrection' 'Desperate Counterattack' skill so that you can explode three or four times in a row?" Shi Yu asked with a twitch of his mouth.

Eleven's eyes lit up. Each time was an explosion beyond the limit, each time it was near death after using it, but each time it could continue to explode after being near death, with endless trump cards. Becoming an unkillable panda king, it thought it was possible. At that time, Baby Ginseng would be nothing more than that.

"The hell you will. If you play like this, you'll crash sooner or later." Shi Yu's mouth twitched. One wrong move and you'll go from near death to real death. You won't be smug then, you don't have a resurrection skill...

These skills of the Jiuli War Beast were really dangerous. No wonder the Martial Emperor had hidden injuries... Even without Meteorite, this fighting method, when combined with the Beast Tamer and activated, would be dangerous for the Beast Tamer... Fortunately, he had Mind Induction.

It seemed that it was right to have Principal Feng help him apply for a legendary resource that enhanced the Iron-Eating Beast's vitality...

No... When he thought of Chi Tong's Crossing Sword, Shi Yu also had a headache. Although his body could now withstand Chi Tong's possession, using the Crossing Sword would still cause damage.

Sigh, in short, Eleven's skill was a bit dangerous. To use it, he had to be near death himself. Who could withstand that? Although, Eleven was used to self-harming, so perhaps it was used to it?

Shi Yu looked at the skill illustration.

Currently, Fast Healing felt that it wasn't enough for Eleven to toss around. He should copy more life-saving skills for Eleven another day.

After the National Competition, in order to prepare for the World Competition, he should give his pets a new round of strengthening. He had to arrange suitable low-level professor skills and super racial skills.

"Ying ying."

At this time, after eating a piece of eighth-level metal and awakening a new skill, Eleven didn't seem to be satisfied yet.

It returned to its mini form and poked Shi Yu, asking if there was another Meteorite fragment. Could it eat that? Susu's purification skill was already max level, and its strength was already at the Monarch level!

It should be able to protect it when it absorbed the Meteorite fragment to evolve.

If that didn't work, it could eat a Time Fruit, and the full-level purification of an Overlord-level Susu would definitely be safe and worry-free.

Shi Yu smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "That's right, that's what I think too, but let's try again after the National Competition. After all, absorbing Meteorite fragments isn't risk-free, unlike the Burning Gold. Next is the National Competition. If something goes wrong during the process, causing you to not be able to participate in the battle, a large sum of resources will be wasted..."

"Moreover, during the process of absorbing Meteorite fragments, according to Senior Zhong Xuan, the power of darkness will erode the will. I feel that it may also be a good opportunity to temper the will. It's best not to use Susu's help if possible. Let's wait until we have enough time to fully embrace the challenge."

Eleven: Awoo (Okay!)!!!

……

At the same time.

In a mechanical research institute in the capital.

Gao Xuan put down the tool in his hand and looked at the "Anti-Shi Yu Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast" in front of him, finally relieved.

Gao Xuan really knew about Shi Yu's achievements in Dragon Palace City. Even if he didn't know, as Shi Yu's name appeared in the top 100 of the Sequence Contest, he could judge that Shi Yu definitely had hidden strength.

Therefore, before the National Competition was held, he decisively upgraded and modified the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast with the help of seniors from Emperor Capital University and the Fourth Bureau.

He took out all his savings and awakened and contracted four new machines that could be used to combine with the Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast. All of them were Monarch-level races and Monarch-level new mechanical equipment. Among them, there were new energy sources, new converters, and new weapons. They were very complete. He originally planned to awaken and combine them after obtaining materials such as the Ditto, but he was forced to overwork in advance. This would cause him to have to readjust them at that time, which would be very energy-consuming.

"Now, with the combination of five pets, plus my Beast Taming, in the case of six-in-one, even the attack of an Overlord should be able to barely defend against, and the combined Ultimate Holy Dragon Beast can even launch an Overlord-level attack. Although it will be overloaded, I feel that it might be a bit of overkill."

Gao Xuan fell into deep thought. Forget it, let's just treat it as overworking in advance for the Sequence Contest. He was exhausted from desperately overworking to upgrade the machines recently. Before this, he really didn't expect that a freshman would temporarily become a threat to him.
