With a sword in hand, Shi Yu felt a surge of heroism.

He felt that this was the correct way to experience time-travel – wouldn't being a great swordsman be cooler than being a beast tamer?

Outside, Shi Yu's sudden action stunned the old caretaker, the beast-eared girl Bai Xi, and the panda Wang Shiyi.

"Ying? Σ(°△°|||)︴"

Shiyi looked at the screen, puzzled.

Shi Yu, what are you doing, Shi Yu? Calm down!

You're not cut out for this!

"It seems he's had an epiphany."

Bai Xi said after a moment of silence, "A true beast tamer must have the courage to face transcendent creatures himself."

"Although I've anticipated how miserable he's going to be, this will undoubtedly become a very valuable experience for him..."

While the human and panda were commenting, Shi Yu's figure was already swallowed by a group of ferocious beasts, leaving only a bone sword behind...

...

"What the heck!"

"That hurt."

Great swordsman? Whoever wants to be one can be one! He'll just add points from behind in the future, watching his pets fight is good enough!

Before long, Shi Yu was beaten out.

When Shi Yu emerged, the beast-eared girl Bai Xi was looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Ying." Shiyi covered its face, asking Shi Yu if he needed its help to avenge him.

Just now, Shi Yu wasn't cool for even three seconds before being ganged up on by a group of ferocious beasts, unable to get up at all, and only managed to escape by using Etherealization.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a brave young man."

The old caretaker also had a smile on her face; all the negative emotions from losing the game earlier had disappeared, and she was in a good mood.

From this, it could be seen that Shi Yu was a beast tamer who was good at bringing joy to others.

"I feel like I was just a little short," Shi Yu said, looking dejected.

The main thing was that there were too many enemies; he was controlled to death before he could even display the sword skills he learned on Earth...

Although there was no damage, there was still a slight sense of pain, and Shi Yu couldn't express his suffering.

Alas, when would he have Uncle Long's skills...?

Bai Xi said, "Don't worry about it. The most basic levels here are prepared for professional-level beast tamers and above."

"It's normal that you can't react. If you don't count Etherealization, relying on the physique of a trainee beast tamer, without relying on pets, being able to last a few seconds is actually a miracle."

Shi Yu: "..."

In other words, he was just challenging levels beyond his own?

Why didn't she say so earlier? If she had, he would have changed his method of challenging and just played it safe!

Etherealization + supplements, he could directly hold out until the training facility ran out of energy!

Of course, that was boasting...

Next, just as Bai Xi was about to continue speaking, her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone, listened to a few sentences, and immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, she looked at Shi Yu apologetically, saying, "Something suddenly came up. I'll take you on a tour another day."

"My suggestion is that you first use the training facilities here to practice Etherealization."

"After you're proficient in Etherealization, you can do partial Etherealization, instantaneous Etherealization, and use other beast taming talents to command, summon, and recall pets while in an Ethereal state. It's quicker and more convenient than hiding in the relic bead when you encounter danger."

"In battles at the legendary beast tamer level, beast tamers are basically in an Ethereal state throughout the entire process. Otherwise, beast tamers simply can't get involved in battles of that level."

"You have a relic bead, so you can experience this power in advance. Practicing early won't be a disadvantage. It's laying the foundation for becoming a legendary beast tamer in the future!"

"Okay," Shi Yu nodded, saying, "Then, Senior Bai, you can go ahead and get busy."

This Etherealization ability really needed to be practiced. It was completely a life-saving skill.

"Okay, that's it then. Oh, right, as for the other training facilities, if it's to improve your pet's strength, I think you can put that aside for now. Anyway, you have a relic bead, and your pet's training efficiency in other training facilities might not be as good as in the relic secret realm space."

"The training facilities with significant effects are inaccessible to you at your level, and the ones with insignificant effects are not as good as the relic bead... Going there would just be a waste of time."

Bai Xi clapped her hands and said, "But it's all up to you. Well, I'll go first. I'll contact you later to take you to the archaeology department."

After saying that, Bai Xi entrusted Shi Yu to the old caretaker and left in a hurry.

"Bai Xi is the vice president of the Gudu University Battle Club and has been preparing for the national competition recently, so she might be a little busy," the old caretaker said with a smile, watching Bai Xi leave.

"How about it? Do you want to continue challenging?"

The old woman didn't ask about Shi Yu's identity and directly treated him as an ordinary student of Gudu University, asking.

"No, thank you, Granny. I plan to go back and study carefully first."

"I'll come back to bother you another day. Thank you for your hard work, Granny," Shi Yu said to the old caretaker.

The old woman was probably at least a master-level beast tamer to be a caretaker in a place like this.

"Alright, then you guys hurry up and leave. I want to continue playing my game," the old woman said.

Shi Yu, Shiyi: ???

Shi Yu suddenly felt that Gudu University had no future...

...

Next, Shi Yu left the training facility with Shiyi in a daze.

After coming out, Shi Yu shook his head and sighed.

"I feel like I have something to do," he said, taking out the limited-time experience card Bai Xi gave him, feeling depressed.

During the open day, he could use that training facility for a period of half a month to practice Etherealization.

Not using it would seem like a waste.

Using it would mean having to be beaten by transcendent creatures every day. It was so agonizing.

"Forget it, no pain, no gain!" Shi Yu gritted his teeth and decided to go all out.

Although he could practice Etherealization privately, it definitely wouldn't be as effective as training in that kind of urgent but safe environment.

"Awu!"

On Shi Yu's shoulder, Shiyi felt that it made sense: no pain, no gain!

Shiyi: o(一︿一+)o So, when would it be able to go back to training?

Shi Yu was so focused on his own efforts but wouldn't let it work hard too; it was too much!

Shi Yu: "..."

Did it have to compete about this too?

It seemed that Shiyi would never experience the joy of slacking off in this life.

"It's already noon so quickly."

At the same time, Shi Yu glanced at the time, rubbed his stomach, and decided to eat a meal and then take a nap.

Etherealization was too tiring.

He would eat some supplements, wake up after sleeping, and then decide where to go in the afternoon.

He had made things difficult for himself this morning.

...

In the hotel.

After Shi Yu had eaten and drunk his fill, and after Shiyi and Qing Mianchong were able to fulfill their wishes to enter the relic bead for special training, he began to hug his pillow and prepare to fall asleep.

However, it was as if the heavens didn't want Shi Yu to rest well; a loud ringtone suddenly made Shi Yu get up.

"Who is it!"

There didn't seem to be many people who knew his phone number.

Besides deliverymen and food deliverers, there were also those three rich women, as well as Hall Master Lin, Chairman Feng, and others.

Wow, come to think of it, the proportion of rich women in his address book seemed a bit too high...

Shi Yu looked guiltily at the caller ID and was surprised to find that it was actually Hall Master Lin.

"Eh..."

"Hall Master Lin?" Shi Yu answered the phone.

On the other end, Hall Master Lin was silent for a moment before saying, "I heard you went to Gudu?"

Shi Yu said, "Yes."

He had informed the people at the Martial Arts Center and Chairman Feng before going to Gudu.

As for Hall Master Lin, he seemed to still be on an expedition to the snowy mountains when Shi Yu set off.

"Oh, right, you've been to the snowy mountains recently, right? How's the situation there?"

"Just a group of wild beasts, not worth mentioning. Regiment Commander Wang Meng and I have already cleared the periphery of the snowy mountains, and the situation is under control," Lin Hongnian said, "I heard that you cracked that trial relic?"

"Old Feng already told me everything after I came out."

He had indeed suggested that Shi Yu could go there to train, but he never expected that Shi Yu would be able to break through six levels and grow so quickly.

Clearly, Shiyi had only just begun to learn Thunder Palm when he decided to go on the expedition to the snowy mountains...

However, after he came out of the snowy mountains, the information he heard from Chairman Feng was increasingly outrageous.

A combination skill of proficient-level Thunder Palm and proficient-level Hardening?

A little Iron-eating Beast that had mastered proficient-level Intimidation?

The Iron-eating Beast seemed to have awakened an ancient bloodline after coming out of the Holy Spring?

The sixth level of the relic was an Ice Dragon phantom? Shi Yu had even defeated it?

After hearing this, Lin Hongnian suspected that he was still in the snowy mountains and hadn't come out, and that some Snow Woman in the snowy mountains had cast an illusion on him.

In short, the experiences that Chairman Feng described were outrageous.

It was as if he had been out for several years.

However, that wasn't important, after all, Shi Yu had been introduced by Lu Qingyi, that even more monstrous genius who had reached the master level in her early twenties.

With Lu Qingyi's help, it was normal for Shi Yu to be a little outrageous.

The thing that Lin Hongnian was most concerned about was actually the matter of the evolution Holy Spring and the ancient bloodline of the Iron-eating Beast.

He had originally wanted to go and ask Shi Yu in person, but unfortunately, Shi Yu wasn't in Pingcheng anymore, so he could only call Shi Yu first.

"I heard that your Iron-eating Beast gained something at the evolution Holy Spring and seemed to have awakened some ancient bloodline?" Lin Hongnian asked in a solemn tone.

"Can you tell me about it?"

On the other end of the phone, Shi Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "I think that should be an ancient bloodline, maybe what the Iron-eating Beast was like thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago."

"The form is actually not much different from what it is now, it's just as if the Iron-eating Beast is wearing a suit of armor, but it doesn't feel as simple as a transcendent-level Hardening skill."

The sign of a transcendent-level Hardening skill was the release of hardened material to form weapons and equipment; in addition, hardened material could be attached to other objects.

Currently, only Lin Hongnian Master's Iron-eating Beast in Icefield City had reached this proficiency.

Logically speaking, with transcendent-level Hardening, it was possible to create a suit of armor, but the feeling that the bloodline awakening gave Shiyi at the time wasn't as simple as a Hardening skill, but truly a completely new life form.

"Armor..." Hall Master Lin Hongnian fell into deep thought.

"With transcendent-level Hardening, it's possible to form armor, but if you feel it's not... then is it possible that transcendent-level Hardening is one of the evolution conditions of the Iron-eating Beast?" Hall Master Lin guessed.

"Meaning, using transcendent-level Hardening to form similar armament, and then through some method, fixing that form, is the evolution method of the Iron-eating Beast?" Shi Yu said, "Wouldn't that be a little too perfunctory..."

If that were the case, even if the Hardening skill could still be attached to the armor after evolution, with double-layer hardening, it wouldn't feel like there was much of a future.

Commander level would be the limit.

"It's just a guess." Lin Hongnian also felt that it was too simple and couldn't help but laugh it off.

"However, in any case, it's an experimental direction."

"Oh, right, after your Iron-eating Beast awakened its ancient bloodline, have there been any other changes?"

"Besides being a little healthier and developing a little slower, there are no other changes."

A normal Iron-eating Beast that had reached level nine of Awakening should be taller than Shiyi, but Shiyi was a little short.

However, compared to the ancient bloodline, Shi Yu felt that it was probably because the evolution Holy Spring had enhanced Shiyi's vitality.

"So that's how it is..." Lin Hongnian was silent. It was a pity that Shi Yu's Iron-eating Beast had only awakened a weak ancient bloodline; it would have been great if it had evolved directly.

That way, perhaps it would be possible to study the evolution route of the Iron-eating Beast more clearly.

At this moment, Hall Master Lin said again, "You should be going to Gudu to visit Gudu University this time, right."

"Yes."

"When are you free? I'll have Xiuzhu come find you. She's also at Gudu University."

"Huh??" Shi Yu was stunned and didn't react.

"Xiuzhu is a student in the feeding department at Gudu University. She's been there for the past month, and she's currently researching a topic that you'll definitely be interested in."

"What is it?"

"Gudu has discovered a ruin related to the Iron-eating Beast, and students from the archaeology department at Gudu University are currently studying it."

"Because Xiuzhu's main research topic at the university is the Iron-eating Beast, she was invited back by her teacher to be a consultant."

"Originally, I didn't pay attention to this news, after all, it's just a ruin related to the Iron-eating Beast, however, after hearing you say that the Iron-eating Beast has an ancient bloodline, my thinking has changed. Perhaps the ancient Iron-eating Beast really did have something special about it."

"I think it's necessary for you to go there."

An Iron-eating Beast ruin had appeared in Gudu, with some traces of what seemed to be ancient Iron-eating Beasts.

Originally, Lin Hongnian didn't care, but with Shi Yu discovering that the evolution route of the Iron-eating Beast was returning to its ancient form, the data on ancient Iron-eating Beasts immediately had reference value.

In addition, Shi Yu had cracked the Pingcheng relic, was related to the archaeology world's rising star, Lu Qingyi, and his own Iron-eating Beast had awakened an ancient bloodline, so, no matter how he looked at it, Hall Master Lin believed that Shi Yu had to investigate this Iron-eating Beast relic.

"Do you have time to go there? I can have Xiuzhu meet you there."

"It's just a pity that I still have some things to be busy with here, otherwise, I would definitely have gone too."

Lin Hongnian was in a delicate mood. For the first time, he felt that he was so close to discovering the evolved form of the Iron-eating Beast!

The dream of this father and daughter was to discover the evolution possibilities of the Iron-eating Beast.

Everyone in Pingcheng knew this, and Shi Yu was also clear about it.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Shi Yu nodded, looking surprised.

The evolution direction of the Iron-eating Beast? He himself was confused about it. Now that a relic related to the Iron-eating Beast had appeared, it was indeed worth seeing, and it was also in Gudu, how could he miss it.

"Just now you said that the archaeology department at Gudu University is currently in charge of this relic?" Shi Yu looked strange.

If he also enrolled in the archaeology department at Gudu University, would these people be his seniors in the future?

Lin Hongnian said, "Yes, they should all be Xiuzhu's juniors, after all, it's just a small ruin related to the Iron-eating Beast, not a relic space, so not many people care about it."

Shi Yu nodded and said, "Oh, right, Senior Lin also participated in the professional assessment at the Gudu Association back then, right, Hall Master Lin? How were her results at the time?"

After coming to Gudu University this time, Shi Yu realized how fierce the competition was for the exams here.

For Panda Senior to be able to pass the professional exam here and be admitted to Gudu University at the age of eighteen, she seemed very strong.

"Her?" Hall Master Lin said, "When she participated in the professional exam, her Iron-eating Beast was at the early transcendent level and had mastered the combination skill of proficient-level Thunder Palm and proficient-level Hardening."

"In addition, she had also contracted another transcendent-level creature with decent strength."

"However, it's pointless for you to use her as a reference. She took the exam several years ago, and the difficulty of the professional exam increases every year."

"But don't worry, you're stronger than her. The professional exam won't be a big problem for you."

Shi Yu: "..."

How did he feel like he was Hall Master Lin's own son? Hall Master Lin's attitude towards Lin Xiuzhu was that she was just so-so, but when it came to him, even though he didn't even have a transcendent-level pet yet, this uncle directly declared that he was stronger than Lin Xiuzhu.

It felt like Panda Senior would cry if she heard this...
