"Time?"
Shiyu asked immediately.
He felt that he should still go soak in a hot spring before challenging the ruins.
Otherwise, if he cleared the ruins too early and the Holy Spring in Icefield City didn't activate, he would be at a great loss.
Of course, he was just thinking this. If the ruins were really that important and he managed to conquer them, the Holy Spring would probably allow him to soak for as long as he wanted, until his skin was wrinkled.
"The time is about a week from now, after all, we need to give other associations ample time to select their candidates."
President Feng fell silent for a moment and continued, "I wonder what kind of Beast Tamers they will find..."
To be honest, President Feng wasn't very confident.
Although Shiyu's talent was monstrous, if a second-generation Beast Tamer suddenly appeared with a pet beast of a ruling species from the start, it would be tough.
He hadn't paid much attention to the situation of new talents in other districts and counties for some time. He really couldn't say what the situation was like in the past year.
He only knew that Cheng Gong, in their school, wasn't the most outstanding, only ranking at the top.
However, it wasn't a big problem. The Holy Spring, this kind of resource, was more about absorption efficiency. Even if he wasn't the first to use it, the effect wouldn't necessarily be worse.
President Feng gave himself a preemptive warning.
"That means I have a week to prepare."
"Yes, prepare well. The Pingcheng Association will allocate 1 million yuan in cash resources to you first."
"Subsequent resources, if you need anything, you can apply directly."
President Feng took a sip of goji berry water and said.
1 million yuan!
Shiyu's eyes lit up. Although it wasn't a lot, it wasn't insignificant either.
At least the cost of the supplements he had consumed during this period could be directly compensated.
"Alright." Shiyu nodded.
"Hehe, then I won't disturb you."
"It's a pity that Old Lin isn't here. Otherwise, he could have given you some temporary guidance."
"Although I haven't trained an Iron-Eater, if you have any questions, you can come to me directly."
President Feng shook his head, put down the water cup, and said.
"Alright." Although he didn't need guidance, Shiyu still thanked him.
He didn't have any special requirements. When the time came, he just wanted President Feng to show him all the pet beasts.
After that, President Feng left.
After seeing him off, Shiyu fell into deep thought in the courtyard.
He still had a week to level up...
To be on the safe side and ensure that Eleven could soak in the hot spring, he would have to work overtime.
...
A week passed quickly with a goal in mind.
Apart from visiting Bamboo Rock Martial Arts Hall a few times, he stayed at home to practice diligently.
After visiting the martial arts hall a few more times, Shiyu learned that the hall master, Lin Hongnian, and senior Lin Xiuzhu were not in Pingcheng...
The former was on a mission, and the latter seemed to have returned to her alma mater to handle some matters.
No wonder no one came to ask in shock after the news of his combination technique spread. They were all gone, how boring!
With few familiar people around, Shiyu's life was tasteless and monotonous, practicing, practicing, and practicing again.
Before he knew it, a week had passed.
Eleven's attributes had undergone a dramatic change.
【Name】: Iron-Eater
【Attribute】: Metal
【Growth Level】: Awakened Level 7
【Skills】: Hardening (Mastery +4), Thunder Palm (Mastery), Rapid Healing (Mastery), Super Vision (Mastery), Intimidation (Mastery), Absolute Sleep (Proficiency), Doubling (Proficiency)
From this terrifying stat sheet, one could see how hard Shiyu had worked.
Compared to a week ago, Eleven's skills had changed significantly in four areas.
Rapid Healing, Super Vision, Intimidation, Doubling!
Their effects had also changed to varying degrees.
Compared to the Proficiency level, the Mastery level of Rapid Healing truly embodied the word "rapid."
As long as the energy consumption was sufficient, even the largest injuries within the healing range could be instantly restored.
Next was Super Vision. Compared to the Proficiency level, the Mastery level of Super Vision could already achieve 360-degree detection without blind spots.
At the same time, it could easily see through illusions of the same level.
With this, Eleven would be invincible on the battlefield even if facing the enemy's back.
Reaching this level, Shiyu felt that Eleven's cosplay was a complete success.
Haki of Observation: Super Vision!
Haki of Armament: Hardening!
Haki of Conqueror: Intimidation!
He might not become a pirate king, but he would definitely be the king of the panda clan.
In seven days, Eleven's Intimidation skill also reached the Mastery level.
This was currently his only Mastery-level high-tier skill.
The upper limit hadn't been tested yet, as the Green Silk Worms were too weak.
However, Shiyu and Eleven initially estimated that as long as the opponent was in the Awakened stage, even at Level 10, they might not be able to withstand the Mastery-level Intimidation.
After all, Intimidation mainly targeted the mental aspect.
By bringing Intimidation and Super Vision to the Mastery level and Absolute Sleep to the Proficiency level, Eleven received a significant boost in mental power. No one could say exactly what level his mental power had reached.
As for the Proficiency-level Doubling, the improvement could only be described as average.
In the reduced state, Eleven's height could be reduced to 25 centimeters, making him incredibly small and weak in combat, but very cute, and seemingly safe to carry around.
In the Doubling state, the originally one-meter-tall Eleven could become a four-meter-tall giant Iron-Eater, with a significant increase in strength, but also a significant increase in energy consumption.
At least the current Eleven couldn't maintain this state for long, making it unsuitable for combat.
In summary, he was still too short on energy.
Let's see if this trip to the Holy Spring can change Eleven's energy shortage.
...
August 16th.
The day of departure for the Holy Spring in the southern district of Icefield City, President Feng personally came to pick up Shiyu.
They would also travel together to the destination.
"How are you feeling?" In the car, President Feng squinted his eyes and observed Shiyu through the window with a strange expression.
Why did he feel that after a week, Shiyu's mental state wasn't as good as he imagined? Did he not rest well?
Could it be because of his words, he practiced hard for a week???
What is a genius!!! President Feng was moved to tears.
With both talent and effort, Pingcheng wouldn't worry about its development with more Beast Tamers like him.
"Fine."
Shiyu gave a thumbs up to indicate he was fine.
After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.
President Feng was in the front passenger seat, and he sat in the back. As for the driver... it was President Feng's female secretary.
Being a president is great.jpg.
"Don't be nervous. With your talent and strength, you would be an elite even in a big city!"
"The new talents from other districts and counties competing for the Evolutionary Holy Spring may not be as outstanding as you."
President Feng was quite confident, mainly because Shiyu was indeed very outstanding.
Shiyu: "I'm not nervous. They should be the ones to worry."
President Feng, female secretary: ???
What a braggart, so arrogant.
By noon, Shiyu and President Feng had arrived at the southern district of Icefield City.
As a city district, it was much more developed than the suburbs of Pingcheng.
Coincidentally, the school Shiyu attended and where he interned was in this district.
Shiyu wasn't the first to visit the Beast Tamer Association in the southern district. It was still as grand and magnificent as before.
In the large building complex, President Feng and Shiyu seemed to have arrived relatively late, after all, Pingcheng was quite far...
So before they arrived, the presidents of the associations and representatives from the other eight districts and counties had already arrived.
One could say that currently, this place was a gathering of Icefield's bigwigs and new talents.
However, Shiyu suddenly remembered... Eleven seemed to like fighting elites!
