A week later.
Gudu, Gudu University.
In the student dormitory, Shi Yu and the others were packing their luggage.
This time I go to the imperial capital, it takes at least a week to prepare properly.
"Ouch!"
At this time, Eleven opened the door, his whole body was crackling, and he had obviously just returned from the charging room.
It is routine practice to fully charge the battery at the school's training facility before going on a long trip.
"Well…"
As Eleven returned, Chongchong, who had fallen on the fake tree in the living room, opened his eyes, closed them again, and continued to recharge his batteries.
Like Eleven, it has no interest in the Breeding Conference, but is very interested in the exchange activities with Teito University.
Shi Yu has been reluctant to hold team meetings, so it's okay for him to attack others!
In the past seven days, it has almost mastered the two super-level skills of Fantasy Domain and Fantasy Dragon.
Among Shi Yu's team, the only one who is more concerned about the breeding conference is the ginseng baby. After all, it is related to its evolution materials.
"Eh..." Baby Ginseng wiped his sweat and finished preparing a basket of gem fruits. This is something to honor the overlord, Meow, before going on a long journey.
Moonlight Gem, Soil of Time...one is related to the moon, and the other is related to time. Baby Ginseng feels that he will soon be invincible in the team. During this period, he must be obedient to ensure smooth evolution.
The most carefree one is Chitong. He has no interest in the exchange competition or the breeding conference. He just wants to wait for these two activities to end and go to the undead battlefield with Shi Yu to kill the undead.
"Are you leaving?"
When Shi Yu and the others were preparing things in the house, a whirlwind lingered over the sofa. With a flash of light, the figure of the gem cat appeared on the sofa, licking its paws and looking at Shi Yu.
"Yes, we'll leave in a moment." Shi Yu patted his luggage.
"Hey!!" Baby Ginseng called out to the gem cat and pointed to the fruit basket behind him.
"Good baby." The gem cat's glazed eyes lit up.
Teacher Cat, I didn’t hurt you in vain!
"By the way, Teacher Ying, it's been more than ten days." Shi Yu asked, "Is there any news about the mutated environment?"
When he went to the resource library to select resources, Shi Yu also asked about information about the mutated environment.
Gem Cat has lived for more than a hundred years, so in theory, he should be very knowledgeable.
But now it seems that there is no result?
After Shi Yu made his choice, he went to ask Hua Chuanqiu or Principal Feng and others.
"Ah, this."
The gem cat had already walked to the side of the ginseng baby. With a smack of its paw, the fruit basket was teleported to an unknown location.
It turned back, with a hesitant look on its face, and slowly spoke:
"The only thing that comes to mind is that it might be dangerous."
"Where?" Shi Yu asked.
"Huh?!" Shen Baobao was also startled.
Danger?
It seems that the last thing babies fear is danger.
Born in the Forbidden Zone of the Mysterious Realm, a place where kings roam everywhere, it has never seen any danger.
As for the danger that the power of mutation would pose to it... Shen Baobao doesn't even care.
It was a ruthless ginseng that managed to survive by eating eight-level resources in its infancy.
In order to become stronger, it even wants to take a few bites at itself before evolving to increase its evolutionary background, but it just doesn't know if it will work...
"A location on the battlefield of the undead."
Gem Cat recalled it and said: "Maybe, probably, it may still exist."
"It's more like a dangerous place than a blessed place."
"A vicious place...?"
"Well, the place of death, called the Immortal Pond, contains unparalleled power of death. Even if a king-level creature comes into contact, it may be eroded by the power of death. It is one of the seven most dangerous places in the battlefield of the undead."
"A large number of undead souls once came into contact with the pond, and they were all instantly eroded by the power of death, causing their souls to fly away."
"Uh..." Shi Yu and Shen Baobao's expressions froze.
A pool containing the power of death?
Shi Yu glanced at Ginseng Baobao. Ginseng Baobao was from the wood type and would definitely major in life force in the future. It didn't match him.
"Can this pool of water mutate plant pets?" Shi Yu asked.
The gem cat nodded and said: "Of course, first you have to understand how it was born."
"The Lake of Immortality was formed after the death of an overlord who majored in the power of death. Because that overlord was too powerful, it caused changes in that environment."
"Rewrite the environment..." Shi Yu nodded.
The hallmark of a king-level creature is awakening intimidation.
The sign of an overlord-level creature is that it has initially mastered special powers such as the power of nature. It can use natural power to increase the power of skills, and the aftermath of the power can almost permanently change the environment of a location.
This is also the reason why in the legend of Icefield City, it is said that the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain was formed after the arrival of the Frost Dragon.
However, the power of death is not a kind of natural force, but a special force like the power of life, spiritual power, and soul power. If the power of nature is an external force for cultivation, then the power of death and the power of life are Build your own strength.
The difference between the two is that different environments may have different effects on the strength of the overlord creature.
A dominant race and overlord-level water creature that specializes in natural power, in the ocean, with the help of the infinite power of the sea, it may not be able to defeat even a fire-based totem-level creature.
At the overlord level, the concept of energy value has even less reference value for the strength of the pet beast, because no one knows to what extent the pet beast has trained the power of nature. After all, no matter how strong its own strength is, it is rare that it can compete with nature. The forces compete with each other.
Site factors have a huge impact on the strength of overlord-level creatures.
Therefore, generally speaking, the overlord in the wild has his own fixed territory. Fighting in his own territory can greatly increase his combat power.
If you go to an area that is not conducive to you, your combat effectiveness will be sharply reduced.
This is why the ocean has always been a forbidden area that humans cannot set foot on.
After all, the Ocean Overlord simply causing a tsunami would be enough to feed most beast masters.
Compared with overlords who cultivate the power of nature, pet beasts who cultivate their own special powers such as life force and death force, the impact of the venue is not so great on them. Their own quality, if external forces are removed, is better than that of the same level. Pet beasts that cultivate the power of nature are stronger, but these special powers are also more difficult to cultivate than the power of nature.
Ginseng Baby's earth chain and energy-accumulating beam are actually the prototype of controlling the power of nature, and its source of life skills are skills for exercising one's own life force.
Naturally, it is not impossible for this kind of pet to train with itself, but the energy invested and the requirements for the race will definitely be greater. In most cases, it is the super-level skills of the pet that determine the direction of the pet's subsequent development.
If no new super-level skills can be awakened, Shenbaobao will definitely focus on training life force in the future. After all, there is the super-level ability of the source of life, and like the Earth Chain, even if it is trained to the full level, it is still a mid-level skill after all. , the potential of cultivating the natural power of the earth is definitely far inferior to developing the power of life.
"The overlord cultivated both the power of death and the power of water, which caused changes in the environment. The pond water also contains a strong power of death, which will corrode the living body. However, if the pet beast comes into contact with the pond water, it has the power of death. If you have relevant talents, or if your own vitality is strong enough to withstand the power of death, you can understand the true meaning of death." The gem cat symbolically licked its paws and continued:
"You humans had a legendary beast master who contracted with the Ancient Tree of Life before and wanted to purify this dangerous place. After all, this kind of place is left in the wild. Although ordinary undead spirits dare not touch it, in case there is an undead spirit who can benefit from it, , giving it an opportunity to break through to the overlord level.”
"However, during the process of purifying the Immortal Pond, the ancient tree of life of the beast master accidentally understood the power of death during the confrontation between the power of life and the power of death. It mutated itself and evolved into the first of its kind in Donghuang, a middle-level overlord race. The Ancient Tree of Life and Death controls the two special powers of life and death at the same time.”
"After that, he gave up purifying the Immortal Pond and chose to seal it with others. In this way, he could avoid contact with the wild undead. After all, there are too few environments in China that purely contain the power of death. Such places are very rare. It’s rare, and it would be a shame to completely purify it.”
The ginseng baby listened with gusto.
11. Chongchong and Chitong listened with great interest.
Chongchong couldn't help but sigh, this mess sounded more high-end than his own evolutionary materials.
Eleven is confused. I always feel that I am the most evolved person in the team.
Shi Yu was also slightly startled.
"Really, the Ancient Tree of Life and Death?"
Auntie the Ancient Tree of Life, can she still evolve?
The Tree of Life... The Ancient Tree of Life... The Ancient Tree of Life and Death... Next, is it time for the Ancient Tree of Reincarnation?
"Of course it's true. I participated in the crusade against that overlord, and even participated in the sealing of the Immortal Pond."
The gem cat raised its head proudly. Although it was not that strong at that time, it was more like participating in the subjugation of that overlord's subordinates than participating in the overlord's crusade.
[A special environment that may cause plants with strong vitality to mutate and control the power of death? 】
Shi Yu secretly noted that to be honest, this power was not in Shi Yu's plan at the beginning.
His original plan was to add more earth and light talents to the wood-type ginseng babies, so that he could use the power of nature to produce as many supplements as possible.
However, the weak power of time attached to the soil of time, and the pool of immortality mentioned by the gem cat, suddenly confused Shi Yu.
Can't keep up with the changes in plans?
Although I don’t know what changes the ginseng baby will have after learning the power of death, but it sounds so powerful, Shi Yu decided to think carefully before making any plans.
"How about, when we go to the battlefield of the undead together, you can take me there to see it?" Shi Yu asked quietly.
"Easy to say~" The gem cat yawned. If it was the original Pond of Immortality, it would definitely not take Shi Yu there, but now the power of the Pond of Immortality has been purified by more than half, and its power is relatively weak. With this overlord covering it, there will be no danger.
"Thank you!" Shi Yu smiled widely, while Shen Baobao beside him was lost in thought.
This mutated environment sounds much more dangerous than the Moonlight Gem and the Soil of Time.
Is it reliable?
Moonlight Gem + Soil of Time + Pond of Immortality + Ginseng Baby =? ? ?
Strange mutation routes have been added.
…………
Ancient Capital Airport.
Shi Yu, who had been chatting with Gem Cat for a long time, almost forgot about the business. If Hua Chuanqi and others hadn't called him, he would still be thinking about the evolutionary route.
After hurriedly packing up their luggage, Shi Yu asked Chongchong to teleport them to the School of Mechanical Engineering.
"I'm coming."
When Shi Yu saw Principal Feng, Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, Classmate Xia and even Dean Hao waiting here, he smiled and spoke.
This time they set off for the imperial capital, and no one planned to take the plane from the airport.
Instead, he planned to directly ask Dean Hao of the Mechanical College to pick him up with his King Race, King Class, and Secret Meteor Fighter. This is a mechanical life that is not inferior to the purple electric armor.
This speed is undoubtedly faster...
"Shi Yu, it's okay." When they met, Dean Hao said with great admiration.
What a little monster.
Dean Hao, who had just helped Shi Yu complete the evolution of the Iron-eating Beast a few months ago, thought that Shi Yu would quickly rise in the university with the help of the Jiuli War Beast. Who would have thought that not long after, Shi Yu would go to Shendu himself. The fantasy butterflies evolved into a medium overlord race.
With the joint support of Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, and President Feng, a huge research project was launched at Gudu University.
"Dean Hao, thank you for your hard work." Shi Yu laughed.
"It's not hard work. If you can contribute to Gudu University, it won't be hard." Dean Hao chuckled.
Everyone: "..."
Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, Xia Qingwei: Is this the school culture of Gudu University?
"Let's go." Principal Feng also said with a smile.
Several people immediately boarded the Secret Meteor fighter plane.
Driving this thing, you can go sideways to sweep the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain and the battlefield of the undead. Not many king-level creatures are willing to mess with it. Using it as a means of transportation can be said to be quite wealthy for a few people.
However, it is a pity that the Miyun fighter is not big and can only carry a few of them at most. Otherwise, Principal Feng might have planned to bring Bai Xi and other members of the battle club who were going to Imperial University for exchanges with him.
Now, Bai Xi and others can only go to the airport and take a plane by themselves.
"This is your first time going to the Imperial Capital."
After boarding the fighter plane, Principal Feng asked Xiang Shiyu.
"Yes." Shi Yu nodded.
"It's your first time to go there. You're going to be famous all over the country in the imperial capital. Are you nervous?" Dr. Zuo smiled slightly.
After researching the Crystal Butterfly, they actually made new breakthroughs in the follow-up.
A very huge breakthrough.
If they only had caterpillar cocoons, they still had doubts about taking first place in the breeding competition.
So now, in the eyes of Dr. Zuo, Hua Chuanqi and others, the first place in this breeding competition must be Shi Yu's.
"Shi Yu is still very low-key. If you think about it, he would have been famous throughout the country when he was in Shendu." Hua Chuanqi smiled.
After she finished speaking, Principal Feng and Dean Hao had strange expressions.
Shi Yu keeps a low profile?
Thinking too much!
Does a person with the title of Iron Beast Knight look like a beast master who can keep a low profile?
They suspected that Shi Yu was probably studying Butterfly Knight to hold back a big wave!
Shi Yu: "..."
"Ahem, I've been looking forward to the Imperial Capital for a long time." Shi Yu coughed dryly.
He looked ahead.
The Imperial Capital, the current capital and political center of Donghuang, has the largest number of legendary beast masters and the top academic institution with the strongest overall strength...
The headquarters of the Animal Controllers Association, the headquarters of the Breeders Association, and many other important association headquarters are located here. It is a place with a strong atmosphere of animal control.
Two hundred years ago, a totem war swept the whole world. Donghuang was temporarily left with only a piece of pure land in the imperial capital.
This Totem War lasted for decades and was an important opportunity for the seven countries to form an alliance. At that time, the representatives of the seven countries formally confirmed the alliance in the imperial capital of Donghuang. Later, after the Totem War ended, Donghuang The headquarters of the Beast Masters Association was established here.
Since then, this place has replaced those other historical capitals and become the new national center.
In addition, the level of economic development here is also very high, so the overall number of beast masters is also one of the top nine among the nine first-level cities. Someone has said that the nine universities are divided into two tiers. One tier is the Imperial City and the Magic City University. Headed by the top universities, one is the other top universities.
"We should be able to catch up on the exchange activities..." Shi Yu thought to himself. I wonder what Senior Sister Beast Ears and the others are doing now, traveling around?
Three days later there will be an exchange event between the two schools, and the breeding conference will probably be over by then...
At the same time, Teito University.
As the exchange activities between the two schools approached, a student from Teito University, a senior who had always taken good care of Yin Zhengfan, chose to inquire about Shi Yu out of curiosity.
Because at this point in time, the members of the exchange team of Gudu University should have been determined. Generally speaking, for this kind of exchange activities, the president brings the old members. After all, fighting is unavoidable, but if there are freshmen with great potential, bring them It is very possible for them to come and gain experience.
She opened her address book and locked a name. This person was a relative of hers. Because of her home address and not particularly outstanding talent, she chose Gudu University.
"Cousin?" A confused and anxious voice came from the other side of the phone.
On the other end of the phone, in Gudu University, Hong Xiao was confused and a little nervous. He was a genius cousin who rarely contacted him except for family gatherings. Why was it...so sudden this time?
"Hong Xiao, are you here for the exchange team from Ancient Capital University to Imperial Capital this time?"
"How can I go there with my strength?" Hong Xiao smiled bitterly.
Hong Xiao's cousin had an expected speechless expression... Why was she so unsatisfied?
"Let me ask you something."
"Is there a student named Shi Yu in your school?"
"Why are you asking him?" Hong Xiao's face darkened.
I remembered the fear of being dominated by Shi Yu’s ginseng baby during the battle assessment.
"I'm curious, has he joined your battle club?"
"Jia, joined."
"Oh? How is your strength?"
Hong Xiao: "...What are you doing?"
"I just wanted to ask if he has joined this exchange team."
Hong Xiao's face was extremely dark, how could he not join? When President Beast Ears was training them, he used Shi Yu as an example all day long!
He always says some obscure words such as, "I'm going to take Shi Yu to sweep Teito University soon", which is definitely a way to communicate with the team.
"He should be here too."
"What about strength?"
"I..." Hong said with a smile: "Why are you paying attention to a 'freshman'?"
"I asked for a friend."
Hong Xiao was silent and said: "This is not good. Although it is not 'important' or 'confidential' information, I am from the Battle Club of Gudu University. Cousin, are you asking me to betray information?"
"Pfft, as for that, okay, don't ask anymore, hang up, it's enough to know that he's coming too."
"Hey, wait a minute." Hong Xiao hesitated, feeling that it wouldn't be a good idea to say nothing. After all, they were relatives here.
"What else can I say?"
Hong Xiao took a deep breath and remembered the battle in which Shi Yu's Jiuli War Beast crushed the Thunder Beast. After brewing his emotions, he advised: "Listen to me, don't fight him!"
"That kid is not a human being, MMP."
"Remember, don't fight him."
"???"
In a classroom at Imperial University, Tang Yun looked confused. At this moment, a teacher knocked on the door.
"Hang up!" She said and looked at the teacher.
A female instructor wearing research clothes came in. She looked at Tang Yun speechlessly and said, "You just came back from training again."
"You are a student of the Breeding Department, and your talent is also in the Breeding category. If you don't major in this major, you will go to the battle club all day long to join in the fun."
Tang Yun smiled and said, "There is no separation between breeding and fighting."
"Thank you, teacher, is something okay?"
"I would like to remind you of the things to pay attention to in tomorrow's breeding conference. This is a rare opportunity to be a research assistant. Don't screw it up."
Tang Yun patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I've taken a leave of absence from the training at the war club. I promise to cooperate with you, instructor."
Before that, let’s go tell Zhengfan that Shiyu is here, and then prepare for the breeding conference with peace of mind!
