Chapter 9: The First Battle

Two hours later.

 Shiyu came out of the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base tour with a satisfied heart.

 The sixth page of the iconography.

 [Skill]: Hardening

 [Skill Level]:Low-order

 [Introduction]: a gold system skill, capable of hardening the entire body, acting as if it were invisible armor, and moreover evolving into an attacking force.

 [Status]:No teaching object

 The process of replicating the Hardening skill was still easy and smooth for Shi Yu, he only did one simple thing and that was feeding a wild Iron Eater food.

 Unlike the small iron eating beasts that hadn't yet awakened their hardening ability and gnawed on iron bamboos as if they were bones, adult iron eating beasts would eat by first arming their teeth with their hardening skill.

 Then eat the iron bamboo that is as hard as steel immediately afterward, in this way, the efficiency of eating can be increased exponentially, one bite a piece, crunchy.

 Shi Yu feeds an iron bamboo and tenderly caresses it afterwards, the skill arrives.

 "There's no need to come back for at least the next month."

 Shi Yu, who had already become a true Imperial Beast Master, said after leaving the Iron Bamboo Breeding Base.

 At this time, in addition to taking away the Eleven Iron Eater Beast cubs, he also carried a backpack of fine bamboo shoots, which was Eleven's food for tomorrow.

 Unlike the Earth's bamboo, the mutated plants here are still very nutritious, the nutritional value is not inferior to some meat, and the iron eating beast's digestive organs are completely different from ordinary pandas, so as long as the quality of the bamboo is over the top, the iron eating beasts may not need to eat dozens of pounds of it a day in order to replenish a little bit of nutrition.

 But no matter what, after all, iron bamboo is only the most basic food for iron eating beasts, there must still be a lot of more expensive upgrades, just that Shiyu may not be able to supply them for the time being.

 Making money!

 After becoming an Imperial Beast Master, one would have to find a way to make money first.

 One's self is fine, just don't starve, the Iron Eater Beast wants to thrive quickly, just having various skills is not enough, the nutrition must also keep up.

 And before that, was to hurry back home and get himself and Eleven settled down.

 Food, drink, and shelter were all important.

 Not long after, Shi Yu arrived home.

 Ping City currently had many tall buildings, but Shi Yu's old home was a large bungalow compound.

 For Shi Yu, a bungalow was actually better than living in a tall building.

 After all, now that he had become a Royal Beast Master, living in a building was really inconvenient for training pet beasts.

 When the time came, one would still have to rent a venue, which was troublesome and a waste of money.

 On the contrary, this place, although it was a little bit old, but the place was empty, and it was a perfectly good training ground.

 After returning home and casually dropping off his luggage, Shi Yu realized that the place was covered in dust and decided to do a big cleaning first.

 But how can you work just by yourself ...

 Panda Eleven, my partner!

 On my turn, summon!

 The transparent texture of the circle-shaped array appeared in front of Shi Yu, and under the water-like ripples, the Iron Eater Beast Eleven climbed out.

 Depending on the level of the Imperial Beast Space, the color of the space barrier and the summoning atlas would be different.

For trainee Imperial Beast Masters like Shi Yu, the spatial barriers and summoning arrays were of transparent texture, tending to be colorless.

 At this moment, Eleven, who had been summoned from the Imperial Beast Space, had a rather confused look in its eyes, as if it had just woken up from a nap.

 It first shook its body rapidly for a few times, shaking its soft black and white fur, and after its whole body was much more relaxed, it began to turn its head to look at Shi Yu, who had summoned him.

 Eleven slightly wagged its short tail, it had already become Shi Yu's favorite beast, it was no longer like it was a moment ago, "Never be a slave!" "Fearless!" There was already a natural affinity between it and Shi Yu.

 This kind of connection between spirits was even more intimate than the connection between bloodlines.

 Eleven subconsciously walked to the side of Shiyu, rubbed his legs, and melted Shiyu's heart.

 It looks ... like it has behaved a lot!

 Shi Yu was pleased, revealing an old fatherly smile.

 "Come on, I'll teach you the hardening ability first!"

 Cleaning is enough with myself alone, the iron eater is so cute, how can I let it get tired, training is already tiring!

 Well, let's build up an excellent image of ourselves in the Iron Eater's mind first.

 "Ow?"

 Iron Eater Eleven stood up, hardening?

 Speaking of which ...

 It stretched out its fist, and in the next second, the fist with black fur immediately became even darker and harder, with a layer of metallic texture, precisely the hardening ability.

 After entering the imperial beast space to sleep for a while, Eleven finally awakened.

 There is really very comfortable, eleven feel there stomach is not hungry, sleep is also more fragrant, body warm, head also become clear.

 The hardening that he couldn't awaken before, he mastered it after a sleep.

 Tokyu: ????

 Shi Yu: ????

 Shi Yu rubbed his eyes and looked at Eleven's fist.

 What!

 Awakened on your own?

 I just said I'd teach you, but you ended up knowing it yourself ahead of time?

 Shiyu was silent, that Lin Xiuzhu was reliable or not, didn't he say it would take about a week for it to awaken the hardening skill.

 How come it's so fast.

 Shiyu was happy but his stomach hurt, he was looking forward to the iron eating beast's worshipful expression after teaching it hardening.

"Let's just clean the compound."

 Eleven: o((⊙﹏⊙))o.?

 Fight, clean?

 "Forget it." Seeing Eleven's blank expression, Shi Yu decided to forget it.

 There was no hurry to clean, and he suddenly thought that Skill Illustrations were able to teach learned skills, and teaching repeated skills could increase skill proficiency!

 Skill proficiency is also very important, the same skill, a favored beast has just mastered it and a favored beast has used it for ten years, the effect is bound to be different.

 It's not impossible for a low level skill with high proficiency to crush the effect of a high level skill with low proficiency.

 Shi Yu found out the Iron Eater Beast Basic Breeding Manual that Lin Xiuzhu had given him.

 The hardening abilities that Iron Eater Beasts mastered, no, or all the skills, the proficiency could basically be divided into five stages.

 The manual had summarized it well, skill proficiency, which could be roughly described in five words.

 Knowledge, Proficiency, Essence, Extinction, and Transformation!

 They represented Introductory, Skilled, Proficient, Perfection, and Exalted, respectively.

 Like the hardening ability that Eleven had mastered right now, the proficiency level was the introductory stage, which had just been initially learned, and could only be partially hardened on a certain body part.

 And according to the manual, after reaching the proficiency stage, one could almost harden the entire body.

 Generally speaking, a low-rank skill that wanted to be practiced from the introductory stage to the proficiency stage would require at least a month of serious training.

 Shi Yu was curious if teaching once with a Skill Illustration could be equivalent to a few days of proficiency.

 He looked to the side at Eleven who was observing the surroundings, then fell into deep thought.

 Speaking of which, teaching using Skill Illustrations seemed to be physically exhausting, right?

 How much physical energy would be consumed by teaching a low-level skill hardening once?

 Shi Yu, who didn't have the experience of trying it once, wasn't really sure, just now it seemed like he was in a bit of a hurry, what if teaching a low-rank skill let him die of exhaustion in the past.

 "How about, first experimenting with the consumption with the most trashy unranked skill in the Skill Atlas, Worm Silk?"

 After all, the lower the rank of the skill, the lower the consumption.

 It seemed like it was possible to give it a try ...

 But alas, Shi Yu would have to find another object to experiment with, as the Iron Eater and the Worm Silk skill simply didn't have a fit and couldn't be taught.

 It would also be too difficult for the Iron Eater Beast to spit silk.

 "Since you've already learned the skill, why don't ... we fight for the first time."

 Shi Yu suddenly looked towards the two persimmon trees in his yard.

 To be precise, it was looking towards a green figure on a certain persimmon tree.

 A Green Sheep Worm was lying on the branch of the tree, resting leisurely, so bold that it was not afraid of being eaten by passing birds.

 As the Transcendent Realm's disgraceful Green Sheep Insect's combat power was touching, even ordinary sparrows that weren't Transcendent creatures that were mortal spirits that hadn't gone through any evolution had a chance of finishing it off.

 At the same time, it could be found everywhere, and when Shi Yu saw it, he instantly felt that the experimental subject was none other than it.

 This Green Sheepworm was malnourished at a glance, thinner than the ones bred in the Pet Beast Base.

 Generally such a green woolly worm, basically forever impossible to evolve ... most fall into the food of birds ... but met him Shiyu, count this green woolly worm lucky.

 Give you a chance to white whore bug silk skill proficiency!

 "Iron Eater, grab it down, gently."

 Shi Yu ordered, and Eleven looked at the Green Sheep Worm, slightly stunned.

 The object of the first battle, this little guy?

 However, the Imperial Beast Eater's order still had to be carried out, it immediately climbed up the tree and slapped the branch that the Green Sheep Insect was staying on to break, the skill was not even used, the Green Sheep Insect then fell down along with the branch.

 This fall, immediately let the green sheep bug billion points confused.

 "Ow."

 Win win win, shouted a very happy Iron Eater Eleven in the tree.

 First fight with a hand.

 "Beautiful!" After all, the Iron Eater was still just a child, and Shiyu complimented it slightly.

 Breeding pet beasts was the same as raising a child, one should praise more and not always criticize.

 Green Sheep Worm: ????
