Bingyuan City, Pingcheng District.

Master Lin Hongnian was meditating in the martial arts hall.

Suddenly, a phone call interrupted his practice.

"Xiuzhu?"

Seeing the caller, Lin Hongnian was slightly startled.

In the past half month, he took the initiative to call Lin Xiuzhu every day to inquire about the progress of the investigation of the iron beast ruins.

But the news he got was not very good, and there was no progress.

Today, his daughter actually called him on her own initiative. Did she gain anything?

With a nervous mood, Lin Hongnian answered the phone.

The other side gave him a big surprise.

"Dad, Shi Yu has preliminarily determined the evolution method of the iron beast, but it requires the iron beast to master the superb level of hardening. Do you want to try it?"

Swish!

Master Lin stood up suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Really?"

he asked with a trembling expectation.

"Well, but the experiment fee for the evolutionary materials may be a little expensive."

"Can you bear it?" Lin Xiuzhu said.

Level 5 resources are benchmarked against ordinary master-level beast tamers.

Level 6 resources are benchmarked against top masters.

Level 7 resources are benchmarked against legendary beast tamers.

The evolutionary materials of the Iron-eating Beast include two level 5, three level 6, and one level 7 resources. The price can be imagined.

Moreover, as the first group of people to try, if something goes wrong halfway, the experiment fee will definitely be inevitable.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. Money is something that is meant to be spent."

"Anyway, our family's savings will all be your dowry in the future. At worst, if the dowry is gone, Xiuzhu, you will have to rely on yourself in the future." Master Lin is really sincere.

Panda Senior:? ? ?

He is right, after all, Lin Xiuzhu is an only child...

"It doesn't matter!" said Senior Panda after a silence.

She doesn't need these things either, the evolution of the iron beast is more important!

Zhushi Martial Arts School and Iron Bamboo Breeding Base are all industries of Lin Xiuzhu's family.

In addition, they also own two energy crystal mines, and they have mines at home.

As for some additional food-related industries, they are incidental, purely icing on the cake.

Although Master Lin is just an ordinary master-level beast tamer, he is much richer than beast tamers of the same level, and can be said to be the richest man in Pingcheng.

After all, their family has been operating the iron beast breeding base for several generations, and their family property is rich.

However, because of this, he has an unusual obsession with the Iron-eating Beast.

If it were an ordinary master-level beast tamer, the Iron-eating Beast would have been eliminated from the team long ago.

But Lin Hongnian's family is different. Instead, they invested a lot of breeding resources in the Iron-eating Beast.

Generally speaking, the species level determines the upper and lower limits of the growth level.

For a creature with a species level of extraordinary, it is really not difficult to reach the extraordinary level under the condition of sufficient nutrition and good growth. It is just a matter of time.

However, when the growth level exceeds the species level, it is very difficult to continue to grow, and the difficulty of growth will gradually increase.

At that time, the breeding resources required will have to be increased exponentially, which is much higher than the cost of breeding high-species pets.

However, under such restrictions, the owner Lin Hongnian managed to cultivate the iron-eating beast of the medium-level extraordinary race to a level close to the king level.

If it weren't for the race restrictions, Lin Hongnian would even be willing to spend a lot of money to raise the iron-eating beast to the king level.

After all, a pet with a growth level of the king level is the standard for a normal master-level beast tamer.

Before there was a feasible plan, the owner Lin dared to spend so many resources on the iron-eating beast. Now that there is a definite and feasible plan, he is naturally more willing to invest resources.

"That's good, I'll go to the ancient capital now!"

At the moment, for the owner Lin, nothing is more important than the evolution of the iron-eating beast.

...

The ruins of the iron-eating beast in the suburbs of the ancient capital.

After notifying her father, Senior Panda fell into deep thought.

"How is it?"

Shi Yu and Senior Panda completed the inquiry work almost at the same time.

"Director Li said that Ancient Capital University will provide us with certain technical support."

"Experts will be invited to help us forge alloy armor." Shi Yu said.

Those metal minerals are high-level resources with very strange properties. It is not easy to forge

them into alloys. At least it is definitely not possible for students like Shi Yu to do it alone.

"My father also said that he will come immediately."

"So, as long as the evolution method is correct, it is basically stable?" Zheng Yingjie asked.

Everyone looked at Shi Yu.

So after talking for a long time, it still depends on whether the evolution method is reliable.

"Don't worry, history will not deceive people."

Shi Yu said confidently.

However, if the site dares to lie to him, he will definitely come here to be weird for a month before leaving.

"

It's getting late, let's go eat first." Shi Yu touched his stomach and said.

Everyone: "Second!"

...

That day, Director Lin arrived at the ancient capital.

No one knew whether he used his master-level privileges to jump the queue or flew here with his own flying pet.

After everyone arrived, Shi Yu, Senior Panda, the Seven Archaeological Heroes, Instructor Ding, Director Li, Director Lin and others gathered in a seminar room at the Ancient Capital University.

In addition to them, there was also an expert invited by Director Li, a mechanic.

A powerful mechanic, proficient in materials science, forging is also the basic skills, like those mechanical life pets, are all from their hands.

For them, as long as there are materials, it is not difficult to make a Gundam with bare hands.

High-level mechanics are elite talents that are rarer than dragon tamers. Normally, mechanics are at least one level higher than beastmasters who specialize in the breeding of other pets.

"This is Dean Hao, the dean of our Ancient Capital University's School of Mechanical Engineering, and a top mechanic."

Director Li introduced him to everyone very politely.

"Hello, Dean Hao!" Director

Lin was flattered. He didn't expect that this time, the study of the evolution of the iron beast would cause such a big scene by Shi Yu, Lin Xiuzhu and others.

The dean of the Archaeology Department of Ancient Capital University and the dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Ancient Capital University, and the presidents of all associations in Bingyuan City put together, are not as impressive as these two.

"Master Lin, you're too polite."

Dean Hao is in his sixties, but he doesn't look old. He looked at everyone with a smile, especially at Shi Yu who was sitting with Lin Xiuzhu, the Seven Archaeological Heroes and others.

He knew that this group of people gathered here because of Shi Yu.

He himself came here because of Shi Yu's identity.

After Dean Hao heard Director Li say that this project was led by a young member of the 11th Bureau who would join the Ancient Capital University in the future, he immediately decided to help without saying a word.

Although at his level, even when facing formal members of the 11th Bureau, everyone is equal, but this does not prevent him from doing a favor for this young member of the 11th Bureau. What

's more, Director Li also came forward to ask him, and it is common for several departments of the Ancient Capital University to cooperate with each other, so there is no need to refuse.

Everyone quickly got to the point.

"If we have that piece of metal as a reference, it is not difficult to forge these six materials into alloy equipment."

"If everything goes well, it should be done within three days."

"But the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing. After all, even with modern technology, it is not easy to complete such a craft."

Dean Hao gave everyone a reassurance.

What the ancient blacksmiths could do, their modern mechanics can do as well!

"The question now is, what style of equipment Master Lin plans to create."

Everyone looked at Shi Yu and Master Lin. After all, the information provided by Shi Yu said that the evolution of the iron-eating beast had no requirements for the style of armor.

Even just a pair of claws and a shield can help the iron-eating beast complete its evolution.

However, if you follow the normal way of thinking, you must think that the more materials used, the greater the potential after evolution.

Some people even think that the rarer and more advanced the materials used, the greater the potential for evolution.

The latter is obviously unreliable. Many pet evolutions require specific materials, and a slight difference may lead to failure.

The same food provides completely different nutrients to humans, animals, and plants. Compatibility and needs are the most important.

There have been countless examples in the research community of evolutionary experiments where high-level materials were randomly filled in, leading to evolutionary failures.

Now that we have certain evolutionary materials, trying to innovate would be putting the cart before the horse.

However, the situation at this time is that the types of evolutionary materials do not need to change, but the quantity of evolutionary materials seems to be able to change. It seems feasible that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Shi Yu has already talked about this with Master Lin.

No matter what size the armor is, it can assist in evolution. Everything depends on the decision of the Pavilion Master Lin.

Pavilion Master Lin said: "Then let's arm the whole body, from top to bottom, head, body, limbs, claws, fully armed."

He decided to play a big game.

After all, the amount of evolutionary materials may be related to the potential of the iron-eating beast after evolution.

"In this way, judging from the alloy ratio that has been determined, a lot of materials are used." After careful consideration, Dean Hao estimated a number and said it.

It is guaranteed to be nine digits, and it may take evolutionary materials priced in billions.

Such a huge number was said, and Shi Yu, Panda Senior, and the Seven Heroes of Archaeology all had blood in their hearts.

If the evolution fails, will all the efforts be wasted?

"Otherwise, let's just give it a try." Shi Yu touched his nose and said, this way even if he failed, he wouldn't lose much.

Master Lin Hongnian: "Then after evolution, can I still wear new equipment?"

"Uh." Shi Yu was stunned, feeling that it was not possible.

"That's it!" Master Lin also mustered up his courage, feeling that the family business passed down by his ancestors would probably be wasted on him and Lin Xiuzhu studying the evolution of the Iron-eating Beast.

However, in order to restore the glory of the Iron-eating Beast, everything is worth it.

Moreover, even if it fails, the forged alloy armor is not useless.

Even if it can't be used as an evolution prop, just wearing it like that is equivalent to buying a piece of clothing for the Iron-eating Beast.

Judging from the material of this metal plate, it seems that after the Iron-eating Beast puts it on, it will have no problem resisting the skills of the King-level creatures.

逼行不虧.jpg

At this time, Shi Yu felt the madness of the father and daughter, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Eleven on his shoulder.

Good guy, I was still lamenting that the evolution materials of the green cottonworm were expensive.

As a result, yours is not cheap either!

Eleven: Huh.

...

Next, with the help of the Mechanical College to build the armor, Shi Yu and his team temporarily put all their focus on studying the evolution of the iron-eating beast.

Not to mention the original team, this time, even Director Li and Instructor Ding came to the site of the iron-eating beast site to investigate again.

The reason is very simple, because the evolutionary materials of the iron-eating beast are expensive enough!

Generally speaking, with this level of evolutionary materials, the race level of the iron-eating beast after evolution must be at least the king level, right?

If it succeeds in the end, such a news will appear.

The Archaeology Department of the Ancient Capital University discovered "the method of evolving the iron-eating beast into the king race" through archaeology. This is undoubtedly a big news, and Director Li and Instructor Ding have to pay attention.

"It feels like it's at least a low-level king."

"It's even possible that it's a mid-level king."

"I've long thought that the potential of the Iron-eating Beasts is low. After all, their basic qualities are not bad. Now it seems that they, like the Green Cottonworms, need to train their race's pre-skills to a certain level before they can tap into their potential through evolution."

Everyone was talking about it.

The owner of the pavilion, Lin Hongnian, was smiling the whole time, as if the Iron-eating Beasts had already evolved successfully.

Lin Xiuzhu said: "Maybe the potential of the race is determined by the amount of evolutionary materials used. For example, if it is only armed with claws, the race level after evolution may only be the commander level, but if it is fully armed, it may reach the king level."

Her view was deeply agreed by Master Lin. It must be like this, otherwise our money would be wasted, right?

"Shi Yu, what do you think?" Master Lin looked at Shi Yu with a smile.

"I feel that the mythical level is guaranteed." Shi Yu said.

Everyone:?

Eleven:?

Shi Yu: "Just kidding."

Everyone:...

Shi Yu smiled.

However, although it is a joke, is it really a joke?

Now it has been discovered that this site has some connection with the earth's mythology.

So, is it possible that the iron-eating beast is Chi You's mount?

The evolved form of the iron-eating beast is almost always armed with various weapons and armor.

Shi Yu feels that this way of evolution is somewhat consistent with Chi You's title of "Lord of Soldiers".

At the same time, it is also recorded in the history of the earth that Chi You was the first person to invent metal smelting, and the tribe that forged armor for the iron-eating beast also happened to be very good at forging alloys.

Therefore, if the two histories are really related, he feels that it is not too much to say that the iron-eating beast has a mythical potential.

Of course, this potential is definitely not something that can be stimulated by one stage of evolution.

"I actually have another question."

Shi Yu continued.

"That is, what does the special inscription engraved on the metal piece mean."

"Could it be a medium to activate a certain skill, or even a requirement for the second stage of evolution." Shi Yu said.

In the images he saw, after the iron-eating beasts had special inscriptions carved on their bodies, their postures seemed to have undergone a second stage of evolution.

It was hard not to be suspicious.

"This kind of inscription is indeed strange. It's the first time I've seen it, but it's more likely to be the exclusive symbol of their own tribe." Director Li looked at the symbols on the mural and said.

"If a symbol can make pets awaken skills and evolve again, it's a bit unscientific."

"Well, as classmate Shi Yu said, it's only possible if the marks are carved with some other rare resources." Instructor Ding also judged: "But no other energy components were detected on the metal sheet."

It's not other resources, it's his own claws!

Don't say it, if Shi Yu hadn't seen the operations of those iron-eating beasts, he would have thought that what Director Li and Instructor Ding said was scientific.

It is normal for a tribe to have its own exclusive mark.

On the contrary, it is unscientific to evolve by drawing on oneself.

"It doesn't look bad anyway. If the iron-eating beast can really evolve, let it carve one as well, as a souvenir." Director Lin Hongnian stared at the stone wall and said casually.

Everyone laughed and said, "That's fine."

Just think of it as a way to thank this site for providing a way to evolve.

"The road has become wider." Shi Yu was stunned.

...

Time flies.

It only took one day for the School of Mechanical Engineering to build a set of alloy armor according to Director Lin's requirements.

This speed was something Shi Yu and his friends had not expected.

So, three days is still a conservative estimate.

Everyone was surprised.

It seems that it is always correct that it takes a few more days to complete a normal job.

Finishing ahead of schedule can be a surprise.

If you don't want to finish ahead of schedule, you can slack off while doing it.

"How is it, haha!"

In a huge exhibition room in the School of Mechanical Engineering of the Ancient Capital University, a set of exquisite armor is hung on the wall.

The material of the armor is more like bronze, and the color is darker than bronze, dark green, no, it is more appropriate to describe it as black and green.

If you don't look closely, it is actually a black armor.

"Perfect, it feels like the material is exactly the same as that metal piece." The Seven Heroes of Archaeology exclaimed.

Director Li and Instructor Ding also looked at the armor with interest.

Senior Panda's eyes were full of longing, and she imagined the scene of the iron-eating beast wearing this armor.

Although the big panda bed is gone, it feels very handsome in battle.

"How about trying the evolution method you mentioned now?" Dean Hao laughed.

This armor was made by himself.

He also wanted to see what this armor could make the iron-eating beast evolve into.

"Master Lin." Shi Yu looked at Master Lin Hongnian.

At this time, Master Lin Hongnian was more nervous than anyone else.

Of course, Shi Yu must be very nervous too. He asked Eleven on his shoulder through telepathy: "How is it? Do you feel handsome?"

"Uncle Lin is using his own Ironbeast as an experiment for your future development."

"Hmm." Eleven bit his hand and looked at the armor. He always felt that it was better to eat than to wear clothes...

"Foodie!"

Shi Yu was speechless. Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth!

"Let the Ironbeast wear the armor, and then use the superb hardened fusion weapon, right?" Under everyone's gaze, Master Lin took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Then he began to summon his own Ironbeast.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

In the blue transparent circular summoning pattern, a stern-looking, muscular, and extremely strong-looking Iron-eating beast walked out.

"Ah!!!"

After it came out, it immediately greeted the big guys present according to the instructions of the beastmaster.

Everyone looked at this Iron-eating beast that was cultivated to exceed the limits of its species and nodded.

Master Lin is indeed an expert in cultivating Iron-eating beasts. This Iron-eating beast may not be cultivated by ordinary beastmasters.

"Put it on yourself."

Lin Hongnian ordered the Iron-eating beast. At this time, the Iron-eating beast also looked at the armor hanging on the wall, and its heart was inexplicably tense.

Lin Hongnian had already taught the Ironbeast the evolutionary methods.

So at this moment, seeing this well-fitting armor, the Ironbeast did not hesitate much, and directly put it on himself according to the order of the beastmaster.

With the sound of metal colliding, the Ironbeast put on the armor and was fully armed. It looked even more majestic at this moment.

"It looks a bit like the rune war bear Volibear in World of Warcraft?" Shi Yu looked at its appearance and muttered in his heart, except that the bear in the armor was replaced by a panda.

"Ah!!!"

At this moment, under everyone's attention, the Ironbeast of the owner Lin Hongnian continued to follow the instructions step by step.

After putting on the armor, it began to use the superb hardening.

Buzz!

In an instant, the hardened material covered the entire armor. This is one of the signs of superb hardening. Apply, apply the hardened material to other objects.

After this operation was completed, the color of the armor became darker.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron-eating Beast began to proceed to the next step, using the second property of superb hardening, externalization, that is, externalizing the hardened material to fill the gap between itself and the armor, so that the armor can completely merge with itself through hardening!

After this operation was completed, in the eyes of everyone, the Iron-eating Beast seemed to have really become one with the armor, and the two sides were in unparalleled coordination!

And at this moment, the scene that excited everyone appeared.

"Ah!!!"

The Iron-eating Beast was startled at first, and then immediately, it began to radiate a powerful aura!

Everyone took a step back and looked at it in shock.

Then, the whole body of the Iron-eating Beast began to be filled with white light, and it began to grow and mutate, or it could be said to be a breakthrough!

No, while it was growing and mutating, it was also evolving!!

"Ah!!!!" With a roar, the Iron-eating Beast's body continued to grow larger and larger in the cage of light. In the blink of an eye, it and its previous armor unscientifically grew to a height of nearly three meters!!!

The light dissipated, and a three-meter-tall Iron-eating Beast appeared in front of everyone. Unscientifically, not only did the Iron-eating Beast grow larger, but the armor also grew proportionally larger!

"Success???!"

Everyone looked at the Iron-eating Beast with shocked expressions.

Especially Dean Hao, Director Li, Instructor Ding and others, all felt the state of the iron-eating beast at this time!

It has broken through to the king level!

It is very difficult for a pet of an extraordinary race to break through to the king level. At present, it has broken through so smoothly. The biggest possibility is that the iron-eating beast has successfully completed its evolution. The improvement of the race level has led to the improvement of the growth level!

The power just now was... the intimidation skill that was awakening!

Everyone looked at Master Lin. At this time, only Master Lin Hongnian, who had a contract with the iron-eating beast, could best understand its state.

"It has really evolved..."

"King level!"

Master Lin Hongnian was stunned for a long time, and then he was ecstatic, and he wanted to kiss Shi Yu who provided the evolution method!

"Not only has it evolved and broken through, in addition to awakening the intimidation, it has also awakened three other new skills!!!"
