Pingcheng.

Shi Yu returned to the small villa he hadn't been back to for some time.

Actually, if he could, he felt it was quite nice to live in the ruins space.

At this moment, the ruins space had long been built into a huge home by Shi Yu and the others.

Eleven's Beanie Bear training ground, Ginseng Baby's fruit research institute, Chong Chong's equipment research institute... and Shi Yu's residence away from these places, everything was available here.

In addition, there were also a planting area, a resource room, a canteen, and the recreation area most loved by Chi Tong.

Living in the ruins space was great in every way, except that it was easy to become isolated from the world and turn into a shut-in. After all, unless you actively wanted to go out, it was difficult for the outside world to quickly contact you inside.

The main thing was, there was no internet.

After returning to the villa, Shi Yu found a place for the Jewel Cat to live, and then called Principal Feng.

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

"Principal Feng, we've already met the Ice Dragon."

Somewhere, Principal Feng, who was representing Gudu University in negotiating cooperation with the Pingcheng Association, raised his eyebrows. So fast?

The Wu Ling Bai family wanted to ride the coattails of the Iron-Eating Beast's rise, and Gudu University naturally wanted to do the same.

In case the Iron-Eating Beast became popular in the future, and Gudu University became the only academy that could provide outstanding students with Iron-Eating Beasts and help Iron-Eating Beast Beast Tamers plan their evolution methods, what would be the point of Emperor Capital University and Magic Capital University?

The allure of a pet cub with Overlord potential was definitely greater than everything else.

"How was it? What was the Ice Dragon's reaction after seeing General Mu Huiyin's spirit?" Principal Feng asked quickly.

"Not bad, like mother and daughter." Shi Yu said.

Principal Feng smiled broadly. Good, good.

Although he knew that the relationship between the Ice Dragon and Mu Huiyin was not bad, he didn't expect it to be so good!

It seemed that General Mu Huiyin was also a bond-type Beast Tamer, actually raising her pet as a daughter. Not bad, not bad.

The reason why Dong Huang became stronger in later generations was not only because it was developing better and better, but also because a group of predecessors had left behind one pet after another that voluntarily protected Dong Huang.

Compared to humans, the lifespan of some pets was still very long, such as plant life forms, elemental life forms, and giant dragons and undead. As long as they absorbed enough resources to ensure their growth, they could live for a long time. If that didn't work, they could choose to hibernate and become hidden guardian deities.

The benefits brought by this point alone were enough for the Association to vigorously promote that the bond between Beast Tamers and pets should be placed first.

"What did the Ice Dragon say? What are its plans for the future?" Principal Feng asked.

"Thanks to the threat of the Undead Nether Phoenix, the Ice Dragon is willing to stay near Dong Huang and act as a guardian deity for Little Chi Tong, protecting it as it grows. After all, it's also afraid that the Undead Nether Phoenix will harm its daughter. You see, when two mothers fight, one is bound to get hurt..."

"Hmm???" Principal Feng suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait, wait a minute?

Who was whose mother?

"Principal Feng, can I enter the first bureau?"

Principal Feng was stunned, still not reacting. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "We'll talk about it later. It's not convenient on the phone. Either you come over, or we'll go find you later."

If he really had a PY relationship with the Ice Dragon, Shi Yu could only be considered a reserve member of the first bureau.

After all, it was impossible to say what level the relationship between the two sides had reached with this kind of acquaintance.

It wasn't that easy to become a formal member of the first bureau. At least, one had to have fought alongside a guardian deity once and resolved a crisis in Dong Huang to be considered officially initiated.

Only in this way could it be proven that the Beast Tamer had a certain bond with the guardian deity. It could be said that there were basically no Beast Tamers in the first bureau who were bluffing. All of them were Beast Tamers who had such a good relationship with the guardian deities that they could ask them to take action.

...

After informing Principal Feng, Shi Yu busied himself with his own affairs. With the Ice Dragon resolved, there was nothing important to do here next.

Oh, no, he still had to find time to teach the Metal-type Nurturing Method to Panda Senior, and then have her help awaken Eleven's Panda King bloodline.

At that time, Shi Yu would be able to level up Eleven's Intimidation skill to Skillful Dao to see the effect.

If the masterful Intimidation could be entangled with external objects for a long time, Shi Yu was a little curious about how powerful the Skillful Dao-level Intimidation would be.

"Ying, I'm going to go check out the ruins space first. Contact me if you need anything."

After dropping the Jewel Cat off at the villa, preparing a room for it, and leaving it with enough Jewel Fruit, Shi Yu set up a temporary ruins space teleportation channel and said.

"Hmm??" The Jewel Cat let out a lazy cry, feeling that Shi Yu was becoming more and more disrespectful, not even calling it teacher anymore.

It had even imparted knowledge about Overlord Will to Shi Yu. Oh, Shi Yu exchanged resources for it. Never mind, then.

*Crack.* The Jewel Cat took another bite of the Jewel Fruit, calmly watching "Tom and Jerry" on the sofa.

Inside the ruins space.

Shi Yu summoned all four pets and looked at them seriously and earnestly.

"Regarding Overlord Will..."

"Gulp." Apart from Eleven, Chong Chong, Ginseng Baby, and Chi Tong all swallowed.

They weren't too afraid of being injured or training, after all, they all had ways to instantly recover or heal themselves.

But the problem was that Shi Yu's description this time was too terrifying.

Requiring them to face life and death beyond their limits when they were exhausted and had no strength to use skills, and were covered in injuries, wasn't that making things difficult for the pets?

If they weren't careful, they could really die.

"If I could, I really wouldn't want to force you to train this." Shi Yu pondered.

These little guys, including Ginseng Baby, were still only in the child stage.

And Overlord Will was a product of those low-race pets who, in order to surpass their racial limits and break through racial bottlenecks, had honed their will and mind to the extreme in the tempering of life and death.

They really didn't need to suffer this pain now. It would be good for them to grow up happily.

From the fact that Shi Yu had hardly heard of Overlord Will before, it could be seen that this thing was difficult to condense and basically lacked universality.

But the problem was, could they not train it? If they didn't train it, they wouldn't have Super Skills.

Shi Yu estimated that pets with Overlord Will would definitely have a "high" success rate in absorbing Super Skill experience.

As for what this thing was, he understood it in Shi Yu's way.

For example, if Ginseng Baby didn't have Overlord Will and encountered a totem, it would definitely be so scared that it would wet its pants and obediently offer its Ginseng Baby whiskers to save its life.

But if Ginseng Baby had Overlord Will, although it might still die if the totem touched it, even if it was already dead, hey, it just wouldn't accept it. It wouldn't give in even when it was dead. Before it died, it would still want to slap the other party with its whiskers. Maybe, with the help of Overlord Will, it could even break through on the spot and kill the opponent.

It was a very important ability in certain specific situations.

He looked at Eleven and the others and said, "As Teacher Ying said, although your race levels are enough for you to smoothly grow to the Overlord level, what about the Totem level, the Mythical level?"

"You don't have mythical races and can't rely on natural growth to break through to the mythical level. Don't you want to become unique mythical creatures?"

"Overlord Will might not be of much help to you in breaking through to the Overlord level, but since it can allow low-race creatures to break through bottlenecks and reach higher levels, maybe it will be your greatest help in breaking through to the mythical level in the future."

Eleven, Chong Chong, Ginseng Baby, and Chi Tong blinked.

It was too far, too far away. The cake was drawn too far away. They hadn't even reached the Monarch level yet. It wasn't realistic at all.

"Forget it, I'll be honest with you. There was a problem with my skill point talent. Although my physique is now enough to withstand the skill points of Super Skills, the side being skill-pointed, which is you, can't absorb the experience of Super Skills without enough will."

"At best, your body will be exhausted. At worst, you'll be possessed. It's very dangerous. After all, the experience contained in Super Skills can't be compared to low-level skills. It already involves some rules."

Eleven, Chong Chong, Ginseng Baby, and Chi Tong's expressions changed. No wonder Shi Yu had never skill-pointed Super Skills!

"So you understand, right? The prerequisite for skill-pointing Super Skills is Overlord Will. If you can't train Overlord Will, you basically won't be able to enjoy skill points in the future. To put it another way, as long as you have Overlord Will, you're basically guaranteed to reach the Totem level, no, the Demigod level, which is the level of Meteorite, the Totem King."

"The effort you put in now is for the ease of the future."

Their expressions gradually became serious.

"But you're still young, and I don't want to force you. If you're interested, try to train it. If you're not interested, don't rush. Take your time. After all, even if you all have Overlord Will, I can't skill-point it all. There must be a first and a last. Whoever can train Overlord Will first will definitely be skill-pointed first..."

Suddenly, they all felt a sense of crisis.

"Before that, let me think... Should I just go to the wild and contract a wild pet that has already formed Overlord Will..." Shi Yu fell into thought.

"Before you train Overlord Will, I'll skill-point Super Skills for it first..."

Yay, that seems like a really good idea???

Go directly to contract one, in nature, that has already experienced life-and-death training and has a high success rate in skill-pointing Super Skills!

He just didn't know if such a pet would follow humans. What if it disdained the idea of getting something for nothing, it would be embarrassing.

"Ying ying ying!!!"

At this time, Eleven's expression gradually became serious. It shouted wildly, "No, no!"

It was determined to train Overlord Will!

For the skill points of Super Skills, charge!

It wasn't afraid of even more difficult training!

"Wu!!"

Chong Chong followed closely behind. The prerequisite for skill points of Super Skills was Overlord Will? He should have said so earlier!

At worst, it would re-experience the suffering of the Green Silkworm stage.

It would give it its all.

"Yi." Ginseng Baby was also jealous. If it became the first pet in the team to learn Overlord Will, it would be the first to enjoy skill-pointing Super Skills, and then the advantage would snowball, getting bigger and bigger...

"Mi." Chi Tong looked around. Seeing that everyone was so moved, it flapped its wings. Then, then, then it would work hard too.

"Very good!!!"

Seeing that saying a lot wasn't as effective as saying that Overlord Will was the prerequisite for skill-pointing Super Skills, Shi Yu teared up. The Ice Dragon had been dulled by the comfortable environment, the Jewel Cat had been dulled by money, and you guys had been corroded by skill points.

But it didn't matter. If the effort now wasn't for an easier time in the future, it would be meaningless.

After Shi Yu drew a big cake for the pets, the four little guys were eager to try.

However, they soon became at a loss, not knowing what to do.

The biggest problem now was actually that they were too strong. Because they had been skill-pointed very comprehensively, they had Absolute Sleep to quickly recover their stamina, High-Speed Healing to quickly recover from injuries, and the strength to fight the Monarch to face most dangers. Apart from some special environments, the training environment in the ruins space didn't seem to be enough to support their training.

"Don't worry for now." Shi Yu looked at the four little guys standing in place, a little unsure of how to train, and said, "In a few days, we'll go to the Time Secret Realm at Imperial Capital University."

"I heard that the environment there is harsh, and lives with weak will, poor concentration, and unstable minds are easily unable to withstand the baptism of the power of time. In other words, it's a good place to hone will and mind. When Ginseng Baby goes there to evolve in a few days, you can find a feel for it there first."

"Yi!!" Ginseng Baby's eyes lit up. Evolution, evolution.

"Before that, instead of relying on quickly training Overlord Will, it's better to spend time training your own Super Skills first. Although Super Skills are more difficult to improve their proficiency than low-level, intermediate, and high-level skills, with your foundation, it should still be possible to quickly achieve proficient proficiency through hard work." Shi Yu analyzed, stroking his chin.

The level from entry to proficiency wasn't out of reach even without direct skill points.

"For example, Eleven, because you have lightning and Electromagnetic Levitation, and have trained Energy Storage and Lightning to the extreme, your Lightning Rod skill is far from simple. It should be at the proficient level now."

"And Chong Chong, your Dream Domain and Dream Dragon are also close to the proficient level due to the influence of Illusory Image."

"Ginseng Baby, your Origin of Life has greatly improved your proficiency in Slow Healing and High-Speed Healing, and your proficiency level should also have been driven out of the entry level."

Super Skills could drive the proficiency of low-level skills. Conversely, low-level skills could definitely drive the proficiency of Super Skills, but the amplitude would definitely become much smaller, because Super Skills became more and more difficult to train later on, but there was no doubt that it still had an effect!

So Shi Yu was also considering whether he should teach them more low-level skills that were highly compatible with Super Skills to drive the improvement of Super Skills before they could be taught Super Skills! A little accumulation makes a big pile.

"In short, Eleven, you should mainly practice four Super Skills first. Your four Super Skills can be practiced simultaneously in a cycle, and the efficiency won't be low."

"After you use Condensed Bean Soldiers to summon 10 Beanie Bears, first enchant the Beanie Bears with space abilities, then use Lightning Rod to enchant them and yourself with lightning-attracting abilities to attract lightning storms. Then, let them use Shockwave to fight the lightning storms. If nothing unexpected happens, the lightning storms will kill them instantly. Of course, you'll definitely be fine. The lightning storms will be absorbed by you into the Origin of Stamina for training Inner Potential. In this way, the four skills will be cycled..."

Eleven covered its mouth with tears in its eyes. Chong Chong, Ginseng Baby, and Chi Tong also covered their mouths with tears in their eyes.

What level of capitalist could come up with this kind of training method?

Beanie, Beanie, Bears—!

"Chong Chong, your practice is also very simple. Practicing the essence of Dragon Finishing Touch is equivalent to training two Super Skills at the same time." Shi Yu said, "If you have extra strength, you can also use Telekinesis and Intimidation."

Dragon Finishing Touch was Chong Chong's strongest attack essence, combining Dream Domain, Dream Dragon, and other skills.

To use it, you must first set up the Dream Domain. In this way, Chong Chong's mental power would undergo a qualitative change, and its strength would greatly increase. In this case, using Dream Dragon again would grant it dragon attributes, increase its dragon affinity, and greatly increase its physique. Then, it would integrate Illusory Image and Dream Domain to create a divine dragon phantom in the domain, and the main body could perfectly integrate with the divine dragon phantom to launch a fatal blow to the enemy.

This move could use Telekinesis to accelerate the divine dragon's speed, use Dragon Might to entangle the phantom, and if it used the advanced dragon equipment in the Space Pocket, its power would be even higher, so high that Eleven would have a hard time resisting it. Therefore, Chong Chong with equipment and Chong Chong without equipment were completely different species.

"Wu wu wu." Chong Chong nodded.

"Ginseng Baby, you... Origin of Life... just self-harm and heal yourself."

Ginseng Baby: ???

"It means, let's just wait for evolution. There are too few Super Skills now."

Ginseng Baby: QAQ

It was also easy to say about Chi Tong. Just give it the Ice Dragon Blade to keep. Chi Tong could use ice power by possessing the Ice Dragon Blade. At this time, the Ice Dragon phantom inside the Ice Dragon Blade would use frost power to cooperate with Chi Tong's Yang Flame to use Crossing Swords, which would also be considered training Yang Flame and Crossing Swords at the same time.

The use of Crossing Swords would cause damage to the body and be extremely exhausting. Rebirth Flame and Healing Flame in the Spirit Release Phoenix Spirit state solved these problems and could also be considered training.

"You practice using the Ice Dragon Blade and Sky Thunder Cutter in turn." Shi Yu said to Chi Tong.

In fact, apart from the Ice Dragon Blade, Shi Yu and the others had also created other equipment in the Martial Emperor Ruins during these nearly three months.

Among them, Sky Thunder Cutter was the second long sword that Shi Yu and the others created after the Ice Dragon Blade.

If the Ice Dragon Blade was an ice-type weapon, then the Sky Thunder Cutter was naturally a lightning-type weapon.

It still used a similar crafting method to the Ice Dragon Blade, but the core of Ice Dragon Whiskers was replaced with hardened material given lightning properties by Eleven.

Inside the Sky Thunder Cutter, a phantom of Eleven created by Chong Chong was sleeping, controlling the lightning-attracting switch.

In short, when Chi Tong possessed the Sky Thunder Cutter, it could attract the power of thunder and cooperate with it to use Thunder Flame Crossing Sword.

Unfortunately, Eleven's Shockwave proficiency was too low, and its nature was not enough to grant it for a long time, so it couldn't create space weapons. However, the two weapons, the Ice Dragon Blade and the Sky Thunder Cutter, were enough.

Relying on the metal element, Ice Flame Crossing Sword and Thunder Flame Crossing Sword, the destructive power was already great enough, and the attribute crossing was perfect enough. With these two essences, Chi Tong would be able to practice enough in the short term.

"Go."

After coaxing away the four little guys, Shi Yu stretched lazily. After thinking about it, he wandered around the ruins space.

He found that there didn't seem to be any materials left here. They had all been used up in the Martial Emperor Ruins. It might be necessary to replenish some.

Now, there were only spiritual plants and fruits planted by Ginseng Baby in the planting area for the whole team.

There were high-level spiritual fruits to supplement the nutrition of Eleven, Chong Chong, and Chi Tong, and there were also delicious spiritual fruits that simply satisfied their cravings.

With Ginseng Baby's exuberance, these could barely maintain daily consumption and production. However, in addition to this, Shi Yu also planned to replenish some metal resources for Eleven, replenish some water and soil resources for Ginseng Baby, and soul crystals for Chi Tong. As for Chong Chong, well, it really just needed to eat fruits. It wasn't that Shi Yu was reluctant to buy other things.

After confirming the nutritional resources that needed to be replenished, Shi Yu came to the equipment research institute again.

In addition to creating the Sky Thunder Cutter, there had actually been a lot more equipment created during this time.

For example, the space equipment "Storage Bag" created by Chong Chong by fusing max-level space-type bug silk with a max-level Space Pocket.

After Chong Chong's Space Pocket reached max level, it gained the ability to temporarily open up a different space detached from itself at a certain node and on a certain medium. With this ability, Shi Yu and the others had researched and developed storage equipment.

But unfortunately, due to the limitations of Chong Chong's strength, the Storage Bag's ability to maintain the ability was still too short. Shi Yu estimated that if they wanted to commercialize the Storage Bag, the shelf life of the equipment had to be more than a year, maybe it could be done after Chong Chong reached the Monarch level.

And when it reached the Totem level, maybe it would also have the ability to open up secret realms.

In addition to the Sky Thunder Cutter and the Storage Bag, there were actually a bunch of miscellaneous things in the equipment research institute. These were at a lower level and didn't have a long shelf life. If Chong Chong's research institute was a pile of perfume and sachets, then this was a pile of talismans and jade pendants entwined with Intimidation and containing Illusory Image. They were all experimental toys for Eleven and Chong Chong.

If these were just small-scale experiments, then the mechanized fossil research institute next to the equipment research institute was a big project.

The Awakening Mirror and Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils were preserved here. In addition, although there were no mechanical parts, there was a pile of little Tyrannosaurus Rex phantoms running around in the backyard like chicks.

After Chong Chong's Dream Plunder reached max level, its ability effect became stronger. Even the Super Skills mastered by the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil's dream could be copied and given to the Tyrannosaurus Rex phantom.

In other words, the Tyrannosaurus Rex phantoms it created now were no different from the Tyrannosaurus Rex in terms of racial abilities and skills, except that they were not real living beings, had time limits, and did not have growth potential.

Now, around these phantoms, Shi Yu and the others were studying how to truly revive these phantoms, such as using the Awakening Mirror directly, or using Ginseng Baby's life-nutrient fruit. They had tried everything, but unfortunately it didn't work. So in the end, it seemed that they still had to return to the mechanical aspect.

The biggest drawback of Illusory Image was that it needed energy to maintain and had no growth potential. If they could rely on mechanical shells to maintain, they could solve the survival problem. If they could integrate mechanical life, then the problem of growth potential would also be solved. Mechanical lives of ancient species that had mastered ancient skills could be born as a result!

Inside the Martial Emperor Ruins, Shi Yu was restricted by materials and couldn't carry out follow-up research, but after coming out this time, Shi Yu planned to get this work on track.

First of all, he would buy a batch of basic mechanical materials!

He also wanted to enter the Fourth Bureau by researching ancient species mechanical lives...

After wandering around the ruins space again, Shi Yu found that he still had a lot of tasks, but at the moment, the most important thing was definitely Ginseng Baby's evolution. Shi Yu stepped into the resource room to take a look at the situation.

The moonlight gemstones sent by Jewel Cat, the time soil that was a prize from the Breeding Conference, the 13 death-mutated fruits condensed by Ginseng Baby itself, and a time-mutated fruit that was freeloaded from the Ice Dragon Ruins, were pretty much all the materials Ginseng Baby had prepared for evolution.

"Life and death, sun and moon, time, they're all high-level things. It's probably at least a mid-level Overlord race." Shi Yu looked forward to it very much.
