On the morning of August 4th, hunger woke Shiyu up.
A weak body is like this; missing one meal makes you feel famished, and you need to be full for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
"Haâ" After yawning and stretching, Shiyu got up.
Putting on his cat slippers, Shiyu pushed the door open.
In the courtyard, Shiyu wasn't sure if Shi Yi had slept at all that night. As soon as he stepped out, he saw Shi Yi sitting under a tree, pondering bear life.
In the birdcage on the tree, Qingmian watched Shi Yi quietly. Since it didn't sleep as deeply as Shiyu, it was woken up by this bear.
"Jiâ"
Qingmian shed a tear. Not only had it seen the steel plates at four in the morning, but now it had also seen an iron-eating beast staying up all night and emitting electricity!
Under the moonlight, the lightning was dazzling, like a thousand birds singing. How could it sleep!
"What's up?"
Shiyu casually asked Shi Yi.
"Ying!"
Shi Yi turned his head, stretched out his hand, meaning it was really difficult to combine Hardening and Thunder Palm...
Master-level Hardening + Proficient-level Thunder Palm, trying to combine them initially seemed quite challenging.
It studied all night, with snacks + absolute sleep + continuous attempts, but still couldn't successfully complete the combination move.
"That's just a matter of skill proficiency, no worries. Let's eat first, and I'll level you up later."
"Make up for it after working hard."
What a considerate beastmaster.
...
Using this breakfast, Shiyu made Shi Yi and Qingmian consume all the remaining food resources at home.
After that, they could just go to the martial arts hall for meals.
However, the martial arts hall was too far, and going there every day would waste time, especially since he didn't necessarily need to use the training equipment every day...
Well, he would ask later if they provided takeout and delivery services.
That day.
Shiyu came to the martial arts hall again.
But this time, not only was the panda senior not there, but Lin Hongnian, the hall master, was also preparing to go out.
This was normal. The panda senior spent most of her time at the breeding base studying iron-eating beasts, and as a master-level beastmaster, Lin Hongnian couldn't always stay at the martial arts hall.
"Shiyu."
"You participated in the Tianmang Mountain trial, wanting to explore that ruin, right?"
Before leaving, Hall Master Lin Hongnian asked.
"Yes." Shiyu nodded.
"According to the feedback from the apprentice beastmasters of the Beastmaster Corps, that ruin is indeed very suitable for training. With your strength, you might have unexpected gains."
"Jiang Rui and the others will also go to explore the ruin this time. You can compete with them again."
Hall Master Lin Hongnian looked towards the snowy mountains and sighed, "I will be away from Pingcheng for a while. If you have any questions at the martial arts hall, you can directly ask Xiuzhu."
Hall Master Lin left in a hurry, and Shiyu didn't have time to ask about the delivery service... Helplessly, he had to go to the cafeteria to ask.
In the cafeteria, the supply uncle said, "Of course, not just in Pingcheng, but in most of the Ice Plain City, the majority of iron-eating beast nutritional supplements and food are ordered here. We definitely have a delivery service."
"Hall Master Lin said you can freely use the martial arts hall's breeding resources, and we support delivery. You just need to tell me the quantity, address, and delivery time."
"Okay, thank you."
Hearing that they could deliver, Shiyu felt relieved. So... let's order three times the normal amount of food for iron-eating beasts every day.
However, it seemed that the panda senior's home was even more affluent than he imagined!
That's right, a normal family couldn't afford a private giant panda breeding base.
After reserving three days' worth of food resources, Shiyu left the martial arts hall.
"Three more days."
There were three more days until the beastmaster association's organized exploration of the ruin.
On August 7th, Shiyu could join the team to enter the ruin.
Since it was said to be a trial-type ruin, Shiyu decided to use the skill manual to boost Shi Yi's strength as much as possible in these three days.
With so many supplements and food, Shi Yi's strength would definitely see explosive growth.
After returning, Shiyu immediately prepared all the supplements and began teaching Shi Yi the Intimidate skill!
He planned to teach all the advanced skills first, then help Shi Yi improve the proficiency of Hardening and Thunder Palm to complete the combination move.
Shi Yi covered his eyes, leaving a small gap, silently bearing the weight.
ăSkillă: Intimidate
ăSkill Levelă: Advanced
ăDescriptionă: A mental skill that can intimidate, awe, and lead through aura. It can also make much weaker creatures faint, symbolizing the "qualifications of a king."
ăStatusă: Teachable
At a certain level, the Intimidate skill can also be considered a common skill, as extraordinary creatures above the King level can awaken it autonomously.
However, if a creature can master Intimidate before reaching the King level, it is a significant achievement.
Not growing to the King level but mastering Intimidate early almost symbolizes that the creature has the potential to reach the King level.
The Ice Plain City breeding base, as the largest official breeding base in Ice Plain City, truly harbors many talents. It seems that the owner of that snow wolf is not a simple person.
Shiyu didn't know much about the Intimidate skill.
He only knew the effects of the first three proficiency levels.
Beginner Level: Intimidate opponents, weaken their fighting spirit, enhance one's own will, and have a certain leadership effect on creatures of the same species.
Proficient Level: Can directly destroy the opponent's will, stun them, and cause mental damage.
Master Level: Can perform large-scale intimidation. A single glance can make countless creatures faint through mental aura.
As for the Perfect and Supreme proficiency levels, his phone didn't find any information, but Shiyu could guess a bit.
In short, being classified as an advanced skill, the potential of the skill is undeniable.
"Teaching."
"From today on, you are the Panda King, Shi Yi!"
Shiyu reached out and touched Shi Yi's head.
Light flowed in, and Shiyu struggled to swallow the divine bean, finally catching his breath.
At this moment...
In the spacious courtyard, as Shiyu completed the teaching, Shi Yi closed his eyes to receive the experience, and time seemed to stop.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A moment later, Shi Yi opened his eyes, and the fallen leaves on the ground trembled without any wind. Despite the lack of wind, every leaf rustled, creating an extraordinary scene.
Boom!!
At this moment, Shi Yi no longer seemed like a mere cub but exuded a tremendous aura with every move.
The young king of beasts was still a king.
Shi Yi opened his bright eyes, and every move revealed a natural dominance, radiating a ferocious and wild nature that made one's heart tremble.
"Is that it???"
However, soon Shi Yi couldn't maintain it and was questioned by the beastmaster.
Shiyu looked at the cute iron-eating beast in front of him and felt no dominance at all.
Damn, the appearance of an iron-eating beast cub is too harmless!!
Even with the mental intimidation, the effect was limited for now.
It seems that Shi Yi needs to grow a bit more or evolve to have a visual impact that truly intimidates enemies.
"Ying."
Shi Yi canceled the hard-to-control Intimidate skill and showed aĺ§ĺą (grieved) expression.
This skill doesn't seem that useful... It didn't even understand what effect it had.
"Jiâ"
However, just as Shiyu and Shi Yi were complaining about the Intimidate skill needing an upgrade, the Qingmian, which had been watching from the tree and was affected by the intimidation, fell down with white eyes.
Seeing the Qingmian lying unconscious in the pile of leaves, Shiyu and Shi Yi fell into deep thought.
Shiyu: "The Intimidate skill... doesn't it only have a mental intimidation effect after reaching the Proficient level???"
But this Qingmian...
His lips twitched, and he understood. A weakling in the beast world, you deserve it, to be scared like this?
