A week later.

Ancient capital, Ancient Capital University.

In the student dormitory, Shi Yu and his friends were packing their luggage.

This trip to the Imperial Capital would take at least a week, so they had to be well prepared.

"Ah!"

At this time, Eleven opened the door, his body crackling, and he had obviously just returned from the charging room.

It was normal to fully charge the battery in the school's training facilities before going on a long journey.

"Hmm..."

As Eleven came back, the insect on the fake tree in the living room opened its eyes, closed them again, and continued to recuperate.

Like Eleven, it had no interest in the breeding meeting, but was very interested in the exchange activities with the Imperial Capital University.

Shi Yu was reluctant to hold an internal team meeting, so it should be okay for it to take action outside!

In these seven days, it has almost mastered the two super skills of Fantasy Realm and Fantasy Dragon.

In Shi Yu's team, the only one who cares more about the breeding conference is Shen Baobao, after all, it is related to its evolution materials.

"Eh..." Shen Baobao wiped the sweat off his face and prepared a basket of gem fruits. This is something to honor the Overlord Cat before going out.

Moonlight Gemstone, Soil of Time... One is about the moon, and the other is about time. Shen Baobao feels that he will be invincible in the team soon. During this period, he must be obedient to ensure smooth evolution. The

most carefree one is Chi Tong. He has no interest in the exchange competition or the breeding conference. He just wants to wait until these two activities are over, and then go to the Undead Battlefield with Shi Yu to kill the undead.

"Are we leaving?"

When Shi Yu and his friends were preparing things in the house, a whirlwind swirled over the sofa. With a flash of light, the figure of the Pokémon cat appeared on the sofa, licking its paws and looking at Shi Yu.

"Yes, we'll leave soon." Shi Yu patted his luggage.

"Eh!!" Shen Baobao called the Pokémon cat and pointed to the fruit basket behind him.

"Good baby." The Pokémon cat's glass-like eyes lit up.

Teacher Cat, I love you for nothing!

"By the way, Teacher Huang, it's been more than ten days." Shi Yu asked, "Is there any news about the abnormal environment?"

When he went to the resource library to pick resources before, Shi Yu also asked about the information related to the abnormal environment.

The Pokémon cat has lived for more than a hundred years. In theory, it should be very knowledgeable.

But now it seems that there is no result?

Shi Yu made the choice and asked Hua Chuanqi or Principal Feng and others.

"Ah, this."

The gem cat had already walked to the side of Shen Baobao. It clapped its paws, and the fruit basket was teleported to an unknown place.

It turned around, with a hesitant look on its face, and spoke slowly:

"I only thought of one thing, that is, it may be a little dangerous."

"Where?" Shi Yu asked.

"Huh?!" Shen Baobao was also stunned.

Danger?

The thing that Shen Baobao is least afraid of is danger.

Born in the forbidden area of ​​the maze where kings walk everywhere, it has seen all kinds of dangers.

As for the danger that the power of mutation will cause to it... Shen Baobao doesn't care even more.

It is a fierce Shen who ate level 8 resources and survived successfully in its infancy.

In order to become stronger, it even wants to eat a few bites of itself before evolving to increase its evolutionary foundation, but it doesn't know if it will work...

"A place in the Undead Battlefield."

The gem cat recalled and said, "Maybe, probably, it may still exist."

"Compared to a blessed land, it's more like a dangerous place."

"Dangerous place...?"

"Well, the land of death, called the Immortal Pond, contains unparalleled death power. Even if a king-level creature comes into contact with it, it may be corroded by the death power. It is one of the seven dangerous places in the Undead Battlefield."

"A large number of undead have come into contact with the water in the pond, and they were instantly corroded by the death power, causing their souls to fly away."

"Uh..." Shi Yu and Shen Baobao's expressions froze.

Pond water containing the power of death?

Shi Yu glanced at Shen Baobao. Shen Baobao is a wood element, and he will definitely major in life force in the future. It doesn't match.

"Can this pool of water have a mutation effect on plant pets?" Shi Yu asked.

The gem cat nodded and said, "Of course, first you have to know how it was born."

"The Immortal Pond was formed after the death of a hegemon who specialized in the power of death. Because the hegemon was too powerful, the environment there changed."

"Rewrite the environment..." Shi Yu nodded.

The symbol of a king-level creature is awakening fear.

The symbol of a hegemon-level creature is the initial mastery of special powers such as the power of nature. It can use the power of nature to increase the power of skills, and the aftermath of the power can almost permanently change the environment of a place.

This is also the reason why the legend of Icefield City says that the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain was formed after the arrival of the Frost Dragon.

However, the power of death is not a kind of natural power, but a special power like life force, spiritual power, and soul power. If the power of nature is to cultivate external power, then the power of death and life force are to train one's own power.

The difference between the two is that different environments may have different effects on the strength of the hegemon creatures.

A hegemonic species that mainly cultivates natural power, a hegemonic-level water creature, in the ocean, with the help of the infinite power of the sea, may not be unable to fight against the totem-level creatures of the fire system.

At the hegemon level, the concept of energy value has less reference value for the strength of the pet, because no one knows to what extent the pet has trained the power of nature. After all, no matter how strong one's own power is, it is rare to be able to compete with the power of nature.

The factors of the field have a huge impact on the strength of the overlord-level creatures.

Therefore, generally speaking, the overlords in the wild have their own fixed turfs. Fighting in their own turfs can greatly increase their combat power.

If they go to an area that is not favorable to them, their combat power will be reduced.

This is also the reason why the ocean is always a forbidden area that humans cannot set foot in.

After all, a tsunami caused by the overlord of the ocean is enough to kill most beastmasters.

Compared with the overlords who cultivate natural forces, the pets that cultivate special powers such as life force and death force are not so greatly affected by the field. If the external force is removed, their own qualities are stronger than the pets of the same level that cultivate natural forces. However, these special powers are also more difficult to cultivate than natural forces.

For example, the Earth Chain and Energy Beam of Sanbaobao are actually the prototypes of controlling the power of nature, and its Source of Life skill is a skill for training its own life force.

It is not uncommon for pets to train themselves and nature together, but the effort invested and the requirements for the species will definitely be greater. In most cases, it is the super skills of the pet that determine the subsequent development direction of the pet.

If no new super skills can be awakened, Sanbaobao will definitely focus on training life force in the future. After all, it has the super ability of Source of Life. For example, even if the Earth Chain is trained to the full level, it is only a mid-level skill. The potential of cultivating the natural power of the earth is definitely far less than that of developing life force.

"That Overlord cultivated both the power of death and the power of water, which caused changes in the environment. The lake water also contains a strong power of death, which will corrode living things. However, if the pets that come into contact with the lake water have talents related to the power of death, or their own vitality is strong enough to withstand the power of death, they will understand the true meaning of death." The gem cat licked its paw symbolically and continued:

"Before you humans, there was a legendary beastmaster who had a contract with the Ancient Tree of Life and wanted to purify this dangerous place. After all, if such a place is left in the wild, although the undead usually dare not touch it, if an undead benefits from it, it will give it an opportunity to break through to the Overlord level."

"However, during the process of purifying the Immortal Pond, the beastmaster's ancient tree of life unexpectedly comprehended the power of death in the confrontation between the power of life and the power of death. It mutated and evolved into the first ancient tree of life and death of the middle-level dominant race in Donghuang, and mastered the two special powers of life and death at the same time."

"After that, he gave up purifying the Immortal Pond and chose to seal it with others to avoid contact with wild undead spirits. After all, there are too few environments in the country that are purely filled with the power of death. Such places are rare, and it would be a pity to purify them completely."

Shen Baobao listened with relish.

Eleven, Chong Chong, and Chi Tong also listened with relish.

Chong Chong couldn't help but sigh, what a mess, it sounds like it's higher-end than his own evolutionary materials.

Eleven was confused, he always felt that he was the most normal one in the team to evolve.

Shi Yu was also slightly startled.

"Really, the Ancient Tree of Life and Death?"

Auntie Ancient Tree of Life, can it also evolve?

Tree of Life... Ancient Tree of Life... Ancient Tree of Life and Death... Next, is it time for the Ancient Tree of Reincarnation?

"Of course it's true, I participated in the conquest of that overlord, and even participated in the seal of the Immortal Pond."

The gem cat raised its head proudly, although at that time, it was not so strong, it was more like participating in the conquest of the overlord than participating in the conquest of the overlord's subordinates.

[A special environment that may cause plants with strong vitality to mutate and control the power of death?]

Shi Yu secretly noted it down. To be honest, this power was not in Shi Yu's plan at first.

His original plan was to let the wood-type ginseng treasure add more earth-type and light-type talents, so that he could use the power of nature to get energy for free and make as many supplements as possible.

However, the weak time power attached to the soil of time and the immortal pond mentioned by the gem cat suddenly entangled Shi Yu.

The plan can't keep up with the changes?

Although I don't know what changes will happen to the ginseng treasure after learning the power of death, it sounds so powerful that Shi Yu decided to think carefully before making plans.

"How about, when we go to the battlefield of the undead together, you take me there to see it?" Shi Yu asked quietly.

"No problem~" The gem cat yawned. If it was the Immortal Pond at the beginning, it would definitely not take Shi Yu with it, but the power of the Immortal Pond now has been purified by more than half, and the power is relatively weak. With it as the overlord, there will be no danger.

"Thank you!" Shi Yu smiled, and next to him, Shen Baobao fell into deep thought.

This mutant environment sounds much more dangerous than the Moonlight Gem and the Soil of Time.

Is it reliable?

Moonlight Gem + Soil of Time + Immortal Pond + Shen Baobao =? ? ?

The number of strange mutation routes has increased again.

…………

Ancient Capital Airport.

After chatting with the gem cat for a long time, Shi Yu almost forgot about the business. If Hua Chuanqi and others hadn't called, he would still be thinking about the evolution route.

After hurriedly packing up his luggage, Shi Yu asked Chong Chong to teleport them to the school's School of Mechanical Engineering.

"Here we are."

Shi Yu smiled and said after seeing Principal Feng, Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, Xia and even Dean Hao waiting here.

This time, they did not plan to take the plane from the airport to the imperial capital.

Instead, they planned to ask Dean Hao of the School of Mechanical Engineering to pick them up directly with his King Race·King Class·Mystic Mecha Fighter, which is a mechanical life that is no less beautiful than the Purple Lightning Mecha.

This speed is undoubtedly faster...

"Shi Yu, you can do it." Dean Hao said with great admiration as soon as they met.

He is really a little monster.

Dean Hao, who had just helped Shi Yu complete the evolution of the iron-eating beast a few months ago, thought that Shi Yu would quickly rise in the university with the help of the Jiuli War Beasts. Who would have thought that not long after, Shi Yu ran to the Divine Capital and evolved a medium-sized overlord race, the Fantasy Butterfly, by himself.

With the joint support of Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, and Principal Feng, they started a huge research project at Gudu University.

"Dean Hao, you've worked hard." Shi Yu laughed.

"What's the hard or not hard? If I can contribute to Gudu University, it's not hard." Dean Hao laughed.

Everyone: "..."

Hua Chuanqi, Dr. Zuo, Xia Qingwei: Is this the school culture of Gudu University?

"Let's go." Principal Feng also laughed.

Several people immediately boarded the secret mermaid fighter.

Driving this thing, you can go to the Ice Dragon Snow Mountain and the Undead Battlefield with ease. Not many king-level creatures are willing to provoke it. Using it as a means of transportation, several people can be said to be quite generous.

But it's a pity that the secret fighter is not big, and can only carry a few of them at most, otherwise Principal Feng might have planned to bring Bai Xi and other members of the Battle Club who were going to the Imperial Capital University for exchanges.

Now, Bai Xi and others can only go to the airport to take the plane by themselves.

"This is your first time to the Imperial Capital, right?"

Principal Feng asked Shi Yu after getting on the fighter.

"Yes." Shi Yu nodded.

"It's your first time going to the Imperial Capital, and you're going to be famous all over the country in the Imperial Capital. Are you nervous?" Dr. Zuo smiled slightly.

After researching the Mind Crystal Butterfly, they did have new breakthroughs.

A huge breakthrough.

If it was only the green worm cocoon, they would still have doubts about the first place in the breeding conference.

Now, in the eyes of Dr. Zuo, Hua Chuanqi and others, the first place in this breeding conference must belong to Shi Yu.

"Shi Yu is still very low-key. If he wanted to, he would have been famous throughout the country when he was in the Divine Capital." Hua Chuan laughed strangely.

After she finished speaking, Principal Feng and Dean Hao had strange expressions.

Shi Yu is low-key?

Overthinking!

Does a person with the title of Iron-eating Beast Knight look like a beastmaster who can be low-key?

They suspected that Shi Yu was probably studying Butterfly Knight, and was holding back for a big one!

Shi Yu: "..."

"Cough, I've been looking forward to the Imperial Capital for a long time." Shi Yu coughed dryly.

He looked forward.

The Imperial Capital, the current capital of Donghuang, is the political center. It has the largest number of legendary beast masters and the top-level academy with the strongest comprehensive strength...

The headquarters of the Beast Master Association, the Breeder Association and many other important associations are located here. It is a place with a strong beastmaster atmosphere.

Two hundred years ago, a totem war that swept the world broke out, and Donghuang temporarily only had the Imperial Capital, a piece of pure land.

This totem war lasted for several decades and was an important opportunity for the seven countries to form an alliance. At that time, the representatives of the seven countries formally confirmed the alliance in the Imperial Capital of Donghuang. Later, after the Totem War ended, Donghuang established the headquarters of the Beast Master Association here.

Since then, this place has replaced other capitals in history and become the new national center.

In addition, the economic development level here is also very high, so the overall number of beastmasters is also one of the best among the nine first-tier cities. Some people say that the nine universities are divided into two levels, one is the top universities headed by Imperial Capital University and Magic Capital University, and the other is other top universities.

"I should be able to catch up with the exchange activities..." Shi Yu thought to himself, I wonder what the beast-eared girl is doing now, traveling? The exchange

activities between the two schools will be held in three days, and the breeding conference will probably be over by then...

At the same time, Imperial Capital University.

As the exchange activities between the two schools were getting closer, a student from Imperial Capital University, who had always taken good care of Yin Zhengfan, chose to inquire about Shi Yu's situation out of curiosity.

Because at this point in time, the exchange team members of Ancient Capital University should have been determined. Generally speaking, such exchange activities are attended by the president and old members, after all, fighting is inevitable, but if there are new students with great potential, it is also possible to bring them here to broaden their horizons and gain some experience.

She opened the address book and locked a name. This person was a relative of hers. Because of the family address and the fact that his talent was not particularly outstanding, he chose Ancient Capital University.

"Cousin?" A puzzled and uneasy voice came from the other end of the phone.

On the other end of the phone, in the ancient capital university, Hong Xiao was confused and a little nervous. His genius cousin rarely contacted him except for family gatherings. Why did she come this time... so suddenly?

"Hong Xiao, are you with the exchange team from the ancient capital university coming to the imperial capital this time?"

"I don't have the qualifications to go with my strength." Hong Xiao smiled bitterly.

Hong Xiao's cousin had an expected speechless expression... Why is she so uncompetitive?

"I want to ask you something."

"Is there a student named Shi Yu in your school?"

"Why are you asking him." Hong Xiao's face darkened.

He remembered the fear of being dominated by Shi Yu's ginseng treasure during the battle assessment.

"Out of curiosity, has he joined your battle club?"

"Yes, he has."

"Oh? How's his strength?"

Hong Xiao: "...What are you doing?"

"Just asking if he has joined the exchange team this time."

Hong Xiao's face was extremely dark. How could he not have joined? When the beast-eared girl president was scolding them, she always used Shi Yu as an example!

She always said something obscure and difficult to understand, such as "I'm going to take Shi Yu to sweep the Imperial Capital University soon." This person must be in the exchange team.

"He should be there too."

"What about his strength?"

"I..." Hong Xiao said, "Why are you paying attention to a 'freshman'?"

"I'm asking for a friend."

Hong Xiao was silent and said, "This is not a good idea. Although it's not 'important' or 'confidential' information, I'm a member of the Battle Club of Ancient Capital University after all. Cousin, are you asking me to sell out information?"

"Pfft, is that so? Well, I won't ask anymore. I'll hang up. It's enough for me to know that he's here too."

"Wait a minute." Hong Xiao hesitated and felt that it would not be a good idea to say nothing. After all, this was a relative.

"What else do you want to say?"

Hong Xiao took a deep breath, and recalled the battle in which Shi Yu's Jiuli War Beast crushed the Thunder Beast. His emotions were stirred, and he advised: "Listen to me, don't fight with him!"

"That boy is not a human, MMP."

"Remember, don't fight with him."

"???"

In a classroom of Imperial Capital University, Tang Yun was confused. At this moment, a teacher knocked on the door.

"Hang up!" She said, and looked at the teacher.

A female instructor in a research uniform came in. She looked at Tang Yun speechlessly and said, "You just came back from training again."

"You're a student majoring in animal husbandry, and your talent is in animal husbandry. Why don't you focus on your major? Instead, you go to the Battle Club to join in the fun all day long."

Tang Yun grinned and said, "Earnings and battle are inseparable."

"Thank you, teacher. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm reminding you of the precautions for tomorrow's animal husbandry conference. It's a rare opportunity to be a research assistant. Don't mess it up."

Tang Yun patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I've taken leave for the training in the Battle Club, and I promise to cooperate with you, instructor."

Before that, he would go and tell Zhengfan that Shiyu was also here, and then prepare for the animal husbandry conference with peace of mind!
