Shi Yu meditated, added points, and conceived the evolution of the Ginseng Baby.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

More than six hundred freshmen from the Battle and Archaeology departments of Gudu University were about to go to the vicinity of the Spirit Relic for military training.

During this period, Shi Yu pondered for a long time and still felt that the "Mutant" skill was more suitable for the Ginseng Baby.

Because his own Ginseng Baby was a mutant race in itself.

Normal Ginseng Babies could never have eaten the level eight life fruit without any problems at the Awakening level.

But his own Ginseng Baby did it and even underwent a mutated evolution, perhaps indicating that his Ginseng Baby had extremely strong adaptability!

Now, coupled with the Source of Life, which almost gives it an immortal body, perhaps it can truly complete mutated evolution again through some extreme environments.

Shi Yu had also thought about the so-called extreme environments.

He planned to create and simulate them himself.

Mainly in three aspects: soil, light source, and water source.

He planned to find some super-high-level exotic soil, exotic water, and special light to combine with the Mutant skill to assist the Ginseng Baby's mutated evolution.

Among them, Shi Yu's idea for these alien species was that they should ideally create tremendous pressure on plant growth but also play a positive promoting role.

In summary, Shi Yu planned to refer to the method of the Ginseng Baby's first mutated evolution and have it undergo another mutated evolution.

Of course, it wouldn't hurt to add more external conditions to this process, such as feeding the Ginseng Baby another high-level spiritual fruit.

By using more comprehensive and higher-level overloaded resources, he could allow the Ginseng Baby to mutate towards a stronger race!

Before that, Shi Yu would also try to raise the Mutant skill as high as possible.

Through this skill, perhaps as Shi Yu and the Ginseng Baby come into contact with increasingly harsh special environments, it could directly solve all of the Ginseng Baby's evolution problems, allowing it to mutate and evolve all the way to a Mythical race!

Planting the Ginseng Baby on the moon to mutate and evolve into a Moon Ginseng Baby.

Planting it on Jupiter, a Jupiter Baby...

Throwing it into the sun, a Undead Ginseng Baby...

As for the Luxuriant skill, Shi Yu felt that the chances of evolving through this were not high, but if there was an opportunity, it wouldn't hurt to copy it.

Luxuriant is actually a typical gardener's skill, a low-level Wood-type skill that can make plants grow luxuriantly, enhance the power of Wood-type skills, and allow some specific pets to evolve with suitable evolution materials, but Shi Yu wasn't confident in the Ginseng Baby's case.

The Ginseng Baby is already at the Ruler race, and it's a bit unrealistic to complete evolution solely relying on a low-level, non-racial skill. At that time, it would probably still require so-called specific materials, which are too difficult to experiment with, so mutated evolution is easier.

Rather than pinning his hopes on Luxuriant, Shi Yu might as well look forward to the Super-tier skill Plant Manipulation.

This skill includes the abilities of most Wood-type skills, not only can it control plant growth, but it can also improve plant quality. Perhaps, when Shi Yu raises this skill to "Divine" level, it can help him improve quality and complete evolution again, which seems to have a much higher upper limit than the Luxuriant skill.

And now the problem is... it's not easy to find an Aberrant Tree.

Shi Yu had already paid attention to relevant information, hoping that he could copy the Mutant skill before he had raised the Ginseng Baby's racial skills to a similar level.

And right now, Shi Yu had already boarded the school bus heading to the Spirit Relic.

...

"Has everyone been getting used to the school these past few days?"

Inside the armored school bus parked on campus, the students in Shi Yu's class were already in place.

Instructor Ding stood at the front, looking at the students with a smile.

The reason for not starting school early before the end of military training was to give the freshmen time to stroll around the campus, learn about it, and adapt to it.

"We're used to it!"

"Gudu University is the best in the world!"

"The training facilities are too awesome, but they're a bit expensive."

Inside the bus, the students were very active.

Several students with great social skills shouted loudly.

Gudu University, after all, is a top institution that has cultivated countless Master-level Beast Tamers, and even Legendary Beast Tamers. Its internal training facilities can naturally meet the requirements of these newly promoted professional Beast Tamers.

"Well, not bad." Instructor Ding smiled and said, "After arriving at the location, remember to listen to the class monitor's instructions. If you have any problems, you can also find Shi Yu. Don't cause trouble."

As soon as Instructor Ding finished speaking, many people's eyes simultaneously turned to Shi Yu, who was sitting in the front row and closing his eyes to rest, and the uneasy class monitor, Wang Ling, next to him.

Wang Ling was the class monitor, so it was natural to ask him if there were any problems, while Shi Yu... was because he was too strong, so Instructor Ding was particularly relieved. Whether in the field of archeology or in strength, Shi Yu completely outshone his fellow students.

But precisely because of this, Wang Ling was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. How could he be in the same class as Shi Yu? At this moment, his ambition to surpass Shi Yu a few days ago was directly extinguished by half after watching Shi Yu participate in the Battle Club's assessment.

The degree of stimulation he received was not necessarily less than that of Yu Shu...

Originally, he had been thinking of relying on this Spirit Relic to achieve a reversal, but now, Wang Ling, Yu Shu, and others were all feeling a little apprehensive...

...

Not long after.

A group of school buses began to depart from various locations within Gudu University.

The Spirit Relic was located in a relic protection zone on the edge of Gudu City, garrisoned by the Beast Taming Corps, and was considered a relatively safe relic. It had not experienced any danger in the past two thousand years, only bringing opportunities to later generations.

The distance was not very far, and two hours of driving was enough.

During the process, it was fine at first, but suddenly, Wang Ling, who was sitting next to Shi Yu, became a little nervous.

Something's not right with me!

His eyes glanced at Shi Yu, who was meditating, and he inexplicably felt that the scent on Shi Yu's body was a little pleasant, and he even had the urge to smell it more, causing him to call himself a pervert.

"What's that scent on you..." After a moment, Wang Ling couldn't help but ask, was it body wash or shampoo, or what brand of perfume was it?

Shi Yu could obviously rely on his face and talent to make a living, so why bother with these flashy embellishments?

Although, it really smelled good.

Shi Yu opened his eyes and looked at him.

Silently, he took out a sachet from his pocket that continuously emitted a sweet fragrance around him and waved it in front of Wang Ling.

"A sachet made from Divine level or higher Sweet Air, which can relieve fatigue, replenish physical strength, and increase meditation efficiency."

"How is that possible? It's not like I haven't used it before. How can it have so many effects? Where did you buy it?" Wang Ling didn't believe it.

Moreover, the scent was also very special.

"You haven't used it before. This is homemade. Do you need it? As a classmate, I'll give you a friend's price: 3 million each. It can probably be used for a month. I suggest you buy a year's worth, and it will definitely allow you to surpass Yu Shu." Shi Yu looked at him with a smile.

"I'm so strong all because of it."

Wang Ling was stunned.

It's a rip-off! It's so damn expensive!

The price was almost comparable to the level five resources used by Ruler-level creatures.

With this money, wouldn't it be better for him to buy Spirit Stones and other tonics?

"Stop trying to fool me!"

"Also, let me correct you. I'm already stronger than Yu Shu." Wang Ling said, "I don't need this thing."

"Then okay." Shi Yu put the sachet back in his pocket. He was giving him an opportunity, but he didn't seize it. He really wasn't lying.

Wang Ling, as a reinforcement-type talent, was also prone to weakness. This sachet was definitely a top-grade artifact for reinforcement-type talent Beast Tamers.

Not only could it assist the Beast Tamer in meditating, but it was also very useful for relieving the Beast Tamer's fatigue after using their Beast Taming talent to help their pets train. The cost-effectiveness completely crushed other tonics. 3 million was really a friend's price.

...

After discovering Shi Yu's "black merchant" nature, Shi Yu and Wang Ling remained silent the rest of the way.

"Everyone, pay attention to maintaining order."

Soon, everyone arrived at their destination.

After arriving at the location, Instructor Ding reappeared from who knows where.

The students from Shi Yu's bus, as well as the students from more than a dozen other buses nearby, lined up neatly under the guidance of their respective homeroom teachers.

"Such high walls..."

After getting off the bus, the students could immediately see the towering walls dozens of meters high in the distance.

In fact, every city near the wilderness had walls built around it. For example, Pingcheng had tall walls to defend against the fierce beasts of the Snow Mountain. These walls were made of special materials, making it difficult for even fierce beasts to easily break through them.

Seeing the walls, everyone clearly realized that this should be the edge of Gudu City.

It was also where a Beast Taming Corps of Gudu City was stationed and where the Spirit Relic was located.

"This year's freshmen from Gudu University are here."

"They're all good seedlings. I really want to pull them into the barracks and drill them."

"It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer talented Beast Tamers willing to come to the Beast Taming Corps now."

"You don't know anything. The country is pursuing comprehensive talents now. How can they all come to the barracks?"

When the students arrived, a group of Beast Tamers in camouflage uniforms in the distance looked at them and exchanged comments.

"Stop chatting and go receive the school leaders from Gudu University." Among them, an officer in charge said.

Facing them, Director Li and Director He from the Archaeology and Battle departments of Gudu University, who were in charge this time, walked towards the group of military Beast Tamers with smiles on their faces.

"Lao Xu, it's been a while."

"It's been a while."

While the students went to their assigned accommodations to put away their personal belongings, Director Li and Director He from Gudu University approached Lao Xu, whom they had mentioned.

"Yeah." The officer in camouflage uniform, Xu Kai, smiled and said, "How is the quality of the students this time?"

"It's naturally excellent. I'm striving for ten people to gain the Spirit's approval!" Director He of the Battle department said with a smile.

There were many psychics in his department, so the chances were high!

What was a pity was that Wang Ling and Shi Yu had been snatched away by the Archaeology department. He glanced at Director Li, who was also smiling.

"It seems that it's really good." Officer Xu Kai nodded.

Next, the homeroom teachers of each class and the various instructors from the relic protection zone also had a meeting.

And not long after, the students who had found their temporary accommodations and put away their personal belongings also came out.

Under the command of the instructors, the more than 600 students who came to the Spirit Relic for military training were quickly organized.

Shi Yu didn't need to think to know that it was time for the so-called speech segment again.

On the wide open space, the students stood neatly. After Xu Kai and Director Li and Director He exchanged a few words with smiles, they walked towards the conspicuous high platform.

At this time, seeing this dark-skinned, slightly stubbled, and burly officer take the stage and reveal a serious look, the students below began to discuss in low voices.

"That's Xu Kai, one of the top Masters in Gudu. He's a powerhouse in the Beast Taming Corps."

"He has a super strong record of leading a team to fight a overlord undead for half a day!"

"It's said that he's also a Beast Tamer who has gained the approval of a powerful ancient Spirit."

Below, the freshmen from Gudu University were all knowledgeable people. After all, apart from a few who came from humble backgrounds, most of them were from Beast Taming families, so they were not unfamiliar with the powerhouses in the field of Beast Taming in Gudu.

"Hello, I'm Xu Kai, one of the people in charge of your military training this time."

Xu Kai's gaze flowed over the crowd and said, "You are all the pride of the heavens, the elites of top universities. I'm very honored to be your instructor. This time, I will join your Director Li and Director He in leading you to experience the deeds of those ancient heroes!"

Not far from Xu Kai, Director Li of the Archaeology department and Director He of the Battle department both nodded with smiles.

The military training this time was of extraordinary significance. It was mainly to allow these students, who lived in a relatively peaceful era, to clearly understand who brought about the hard-won life they had today.

In addition to the Beast Tamers who were still guarding the edges of the cities and the borders of the country, there were also the ancient heroes who liberated humans from the Totems, whom they should be grateful to.

It could be said that the purpose of this military training was to cultivate the young Beast Tamers' sense of national identity.

Teaching and educating people, if they ended up teaching a bunch of traitors and foreign-worshiping soft-legged shrimps, it would all be for naught.

With countless external enemies, no one could guarantee how long the stable situation could be maintained.

After all, the ancient Dong Huang Dynasty was once extremely glorious, suppressing the Totem alien races to the point where they couldn't breathe. There were even dynasties that organized armies to attack the Totem region.

But they still couldn't escape the law of dynastic decline, because relatively speaking, human lifespans were too short, and the alien races couldn't be completely eliminated. Who could guarantee that the current peace would last forever? The small-scale frictions on the border had never stopped.

In this situation, it was very necessary to let these elite Beast Tamers, who were not on the military path, understand the history of Dong Huang and have a certain amount of enthusiasm.

Master Xu Kai was also a good speaker. In just a few words, he aroused the sense of national honor in many young students, making many people's blood boil, and they even couldn't wait to drop out of school and join the army to fight the alien races in the Totem region on the border battlefield.

"In order to protect future generations, the great Emperor Shi imprinted the traces of countless heroes of the first Dong Huang Dynasty within the Spirit Relic in front of us."

"All Dong Huang humans have the hope of gaining the Spirit's approval and activating their deeds!"

"In the subsequent millennium of turmoil in the Dong Huang Dynasty, many heroes and heroines rose up with the recognition of the Spirit Relic and launched counterattacks."

"And to this day, all the Spirits within the Spirit Relic have not yet been unlocked, waiting for the successors of later generations."

"In other words, if you have enough determination, belief, and aptitude, those ancient heroes may step out of the long river of history and, in the form of undead Spirits, assist you and continue to protect Dong Huang in another form!"

"During this seven-day military training, in addition to visiting the various ruins in the relic area and learning about the deeds of each hero, you can also actively try to communicate with those ancient Spirits who have never been summoned."

After spending more than an hour explaining the precautions, the student body disbanded again.

Unlike what Shi Yu had imagined, the military training here was very different from the so-called military training in his previous life.

There were no strict requirements for discipline, and there were no special instructors sent to manage a certain class. The students were given considerable freedom.

It was indeed as Instructor Ding had said; they seemed to be here for a trip.

Those instructors would act more like tour guides introducing the relics.

They hoped that through this relic protection zone, the students would learn about history, cultivate a sense of national identity, and gain some substantive ideological growth from this military training.

And some elite students might even gain strength from the Spirit Relic.

In comparison, it was meaningless and unnecessary to train this group of elites who had passed the professional assessment with some military-style training methods, and it would not have any significant effect.

Which one of them wasn't an elite among their peers? If you pulled them out individually, the instructors might not even be able to beat these students at the same level.

After the meeting.

The various classes gathered together again.

Wang Ling looked at the 32 students in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone heard it, right?"

"The most valuable thing about this military training experience is the chance to gain the approval of an ancient Spirit!"

"For seven days, everyone can try countless times. Also, as the class monitor, I can tell you a little trick to communicate with the Spirits, which will increase your chances of success."

Wang Ling was very responsible as the class monitor. As soon as he opened his mouth, the students in the class below immediately became restless and looked at him.

Including Shi Yu, who also looked at him, what little trick was it? Senior Sister Beast-Ear hadn't reminded him.

"Class Monitor is awesome, what's the trick?" Other classmates also began to ask eagerly.

"Really? I heard that the success rate of candidates in the Spirit Relic military training over the years is only about one percent. That is to say, out of our six hundred people, maybe only six people will succeed..."

This probability was neither high nor low, but for most ordinary students, it was still a bit hopeless.

"Anyway, if I can successfully communicate, I'll treat the whole class to a feast." Someone said.

Wang Ling looked at the excited students and smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me..."

"This little trick is that sincerity is key..."

Shi Yu: "..."

Everyone: "...Should we change class monitors?"

It feels like you're talking nonsense.

Who doesn't know that sincerity is key?

Are we supposed to communicate with the Spirits from the perspective of a foreign Totem?

Even if you could summon one that way, it probably wouldn't be approval, but a manifestation to kill the traitor.

"There's more, there's more." Wang Ling added.

"You should all have read the textbooks, right?"

"They record countless heroic deeds, and the power of these heroes must also be imprinted in the Spirit Relic."

"Generally speaking, the stronger your belief in someone and the more familiar you are with their deeds, the more likely you are to gain their approval."

"So, this week, if you fail to communicate for the first time, don't be discouraged. You can try reviewing the heroic deeds more and go communicate with a pious heart."

"Also, you must be single-minded and don't think that you can gain the approval of many Spirits. Just focus on one person."

"Also, do your research. Many Spirits have already been summoned. Even if you know them well, it's useless. They can't possibly appear again."

Wang Ling shared many little tricks he knew. This time, it was a little more like something, and the students nodded.

"Shi Yu, do you have any suggestions?"

At this time, a girl in the class with a pretty face looked at Shi Yu, who was slacking off, with shining eyes.

Shi Yu was known as a rising star in the archaeological world and was a famous figure among the freshmen. She also really wanted to hear Shi Yu's suggestions.

As soon as she spoke, a bunch of Shi Yu's fans in the class immediately looked at Shi Yu.

"Um." Shi Yu was at a loss. Suggestions?

Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll share my thoughts."

"It is said that Emperor Shi imprinted the power and deeds of all the people, objects, and beasts who had made contributions at that time in the Spirit Relic in a special way."

"One purpose was to hope that if later generations encountered disasters, their power and beliefs could be reproduced in another form to protect Dong Huang."

"And the other purpose was to hope that their achievements could be preserved in another way."

"This is also why, after someone summons a Spirit, not only will their power reappear, but their deeds will also be revealed."

"Emperor Shi's records should be without omissions, but later generations' records of the people, things, and objects at that time should have many defects. Therefore, if you can summon a hero who has not been recorded in history, their deeds should be considered a very valuable archaeological discovery."

"So, perhaps you can also communicate with the Spirit Relic from the perspective of an archaeologist..."

"Explore the unknown and restore the truth of history."

In this special place remodeled by Emperor Shi, theoretically, even without the talent of mental induction, you can make the relic manifest!

But after Shi Yu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that he had said a bunch of nonsense. It was too abstract and not as practical as Wang Ling's little tricks.

However, Wang Ling nodded at this time with an expression of understanding:

"Shi Yu is right. My little trick is actually more suitable for students in the Battle department. Now our identity is that of students in the Archaeology department. If we want to achieve something in this field, compared to gaining the approval of a powerful Spirit, it is more valuable to explore those people, objects, and events that have not been recorded in history, or whose information is vague and unable to determine historical facts."

"The Spirits in the Spirit Relic have not been completely unlocked to this day. Many archaeologists come here to investigate, mostly because they want to explore unknown events rather than gain the Spirit's approval."

"Indeed, Lu Qingyi, the legend of the Archaeology department, has investigated the Spirit Relic many times and refused to have a Spirit recognize her as its master, just to investigate some truths." Shi Yu nodded.

"We understand!" After Shi Yu and Wang Ling spoke, the students in Archaeology Class 1 all had expressions of understanding.

Although they didn't know what was happening, after Shi Yu and Wang Ling said this, they suddenly felt confident and had a feeling of having their meridians unblocked.

It's really nice to have a big shot and a good class monitor to carry them.

Shi Yu: "..."

You understand nothing.

While everyone was communicating, suddenly, a white light soared into the sky in the distance, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Not far away, an instructor widened his eyes and said, "Who is it? Are you students so efficient? So quickly, someone ran to the altar and successfully communicated with a Spirit?"

Many instructors also showed surprised expressions.

"Which class is it?"

"It's Battle Class 3. After the disbandment, they were led to the Spirit Relic by their class monitor, Yu Shu..."

At this moment, almost without hesitation, whether it was teachers, students, or instructors, they couldn't sit still and ran towards the Spirit Relic, wanting to see what Battle Class 3 had caused over there.
