Shiyu followed the tree branch, his heart surging with excitement.
Look at this!
An ultra-class skill!
Shiyu felt that the greatest gain from this trip might not be the Evolution Holy Spring, but this plant control skill.
This Life Ancient Tree King casually used an ultra-class skill to lead the way, which was simply too adorable.
Shiyu briefly studied the skill's effects and exclaimed at its power.
Plant manipulation, of course, could likely evolve into many low-class and mid-class wood-type skills.
The truly impressive part was the abilities that followed.
The ability to control plant growth and enhance plant quality.
The former was relatively straightforward; for example, a sapling just planted could instantly grow into a towering tree after using this ability.
Of course, this sapling could also refer to a spirit plant, a capability that many gardener-type plant pets possess. However, those similar low-class and mid-class skills definitely wouldn't be as effective as an ultra-class skill.
The most powerful ability, however, was the one to enhance plant quality.
Perhaps, this ability could upgrade ordinary plants to spirit plants.
Combined with the ability to control plant growth, that would be absolutely delightful.
If we think a bit more broadly, considering plant-like life forms as plants, could this ability also help plant-type pet beasts develop their potential?
In short, this ultra-class plant control skill seemed to be a cornerstone skill for all plant-related abilities. Shiyu felt incredibly lucky.
"But the problem is, can this skill be compatible with Eleven and the Green Silk Worm? It seems unlikely."
"Should I cultivate the Green Silk Worm in the direction of plant control?"
"Or should I wait and contract a plant-type pet beast in the future?"
"Also, high-class skills already require a week of weakness, so what about this ultra-class skill..."
Shiyu fell into deep thought, and the thought of the weakness period felt like a bucket of cold water splashed on him.
He got excited too soon. This ultra-class skill might not be usable for a very long time.
"Ying ying ying!!!"
Eleven started crying.
...
"We have arrived."
Shiyu was lost in thought while being led by the tree branch.
As he was studying plant control, a gentle female voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Shiyu was slightly startled and then nodded.
"Thank you."
It turned out that the Life Ancient Tree King was a big sister.
After being reminded, Shiyu gradually came to his senses.
Indeed, he had already arrived at a spring.
Before him, among the scattered rocks, a clear spring gushed forth, emitting a strong aura of life.
This spring was quite small, and if a pet beast was too large, it might not be able to fully enter.
"Eleven."
Amidst the pleasant sound of the clear spring, Shiyu took a deep breath of the fresh air and summoned Eleven.
In the next second, Eleven, with a fresh face, walked out of the summoning array.
Eleven: (???????) "Ao???"
After coming out, Eleven excitedly looked at the spring, already smelling its deliciousness.
It was so hungry that its mouth was watering.
"This is the Evolution Holy Spring, Eleven. Go in, but don't drink it!!"
"The Evolution Holy Spring can only be absorbed through soaking. Absolutely do not drink it!!"
"After soaking for a while, your constitution will improve. Remember not to drink it!"
He emphasized the important points three times.
President Feng had told Shiyu that the Evolution Holy Spring could only be absorbed through soaking, and drinking it would harm the body.
Although he didn't understand the principle and found it unscientific, in this mystical world, Shiyu could only choose to believe it.
He couldn't let Eleven try drinking it, could he?
"Ying ying ying."
Eleven: o(╥﹏╥)o
Hearing that it couldn't drink, Eleven burst into tears.
Wasn't this making things difficult for the child?
"Improve your constitution!"
However, in the midst of its tears, Eleven suddenly realized something.
It hesitantly pointed at itself and then at Shiyu.
"Ao?"
It meant, "Why don't you soak in it?"
Eleven: "Are you sure the effect will be greater for me than for you?"
Perhaps if Eleven soaked, it could learn a few more skills.
But if Shiyu soaked, he might be able to learn dozens more!
Eleven quickly calculated this math problem and easily found the optimal solution.
Shiyu was more suitable for soaking in the Evolution Holy Spring.
"I..." Shiyu was speechless.
"If humans could soak in the Evolution Holy Spring, I would want to as well."
"It would be fatal."
At this moment, the Life Ancient Tree King spoke again, reminding him.
"Thank you..."
See, not only did President Feng say this, but the Life Ancient Tree King also said it. Shiyu didn't want to die young.
This was clearly not something prepared for human beast masters.
"Just go quickly, stop talking nonsense." Shiyu wished he could kick Eleven's butt and push it into the spring.
"Ao!"
Since the beast master said so, Eleven could only reluctantly soak itself.
Sigh, if the beast master could soak, it would be so much better.
If Shiyu's constitution improved, he wouldn't need to rest and recuperate every day...
Splash!!!
Thinking about it, Eleven directly leaped into the spring.
Instantly, a splash of water droplets rose.
At the same time, Eleven opened its eyes and held its breath, bubbling up from the spring.
Dangerous, dangerous... It almost accidentally drank some because it was too familiar with jumping due to its training method, leading to a lack of control over its strength!
"Focus on absorbing." Shiyu reminded again.
In the spring, the small Iron Eater Eleven immediately nodded and closed its eyes.
The Evolution Spring was not cold but warm.
"I wonder how efficient Eleven's absorption is..."
Shiyu thought by the spring.
President Feng said that different pet beasts, based on their species, talent, and potential, would have different absorption efficiencies for the Evolution Spring.
Some pet beasts could gain significant benefits, while others might only get a slight improvement.
As Shiyu was thinking, Eleven suddenly felt its body getting hotter and hotter in the spring.
Its body involuntarily used the hardening skill.
However, the scorching heat didn't make Eleven uncomfortable.
It just led it into an unknown realm.
Thump, thump, thump.
Eleven didn't know what this feeling was, as if the spring could awaken something within it.
Thump, thump, thump.
"What's happening."
As Eleven's beast master, Shiyu could more or less sense Eleven's strange state.
Should he say the blood was boiling, or the DNA was moving?
"Don't worry."
"It is searching for ancient bloodlines."
The Life Ancient Tree King said.
Ancient bloodlines?
Shiyu was stunned, not understanding what it meant.
He didn't know why, but he quickly closed his eyes.
He tried to deeply perceive Eleven's state through their mental and spiritual connection.
In the next second.
Shiyu felt as if he was in another world, seeing an Iron Eater.
This Iron Eater was like Eleven, yet not like it.
It was a giant Iron Eater clad in bronze armor.
This Iron Eater was strange, as if it had an additional layer of armor on top of its hardened body.
However, its appearance was still the same as a panda, feeling like a panda had achieved a divine level of hardening to create a suit of armor.
"The ancient bloodline, the lost evolutionary form..."
The Life Ancient Tree King murmured.
This Iron Eater had terrifying potential and talent.
It had directly found traces of its ancient evolutionary form from a faint bloodline.
"This thing, how is it so similar to the Iron Eater mount of Chi You I saw in a fan art?" Shiyu suddenly paused, feeling a bit dazed.
