Luo Yu thought Yu Lei made sense; July definitely needed to work on her willpower.
Regarding July's willpower... Luo Yu was in a state of having some confidence, but not entirely.
Can it withstand the Sovereign's Pressure?
If it were the Bee Empress, Luo Yu would actually be more confident, since the "Insect Empress" talent itself represents a kind of will, as can be seen from its ability to easily ignore the might of the King Dragon's Might.
It was transformed into a ghost by its Obsession with becoming the King of the Sky. It has a strong will and is blessed by two major buffs. Apart from its physical strength, which may be temporarily inferior to that of the Monarch Species, its willpower is definitely not a problem.
Similarly, talents such as "Indomitable Heart" and "Fortitude" can represent willpower talents to varying degrees.
But July is different from the country Bee Empress. July's talent is "Intelligence". She doesn't even have the fearless stage of a newborn calf. Her clever little brain allows her to more clearly perceive the exact difference between herself and the Monarch Species.
When faced with a powerful enemy, the first thought shouldn't be to charge in head-on, but rather... a strategic retreat. Why engage in a direct confrontation?
At this point, individual talent actually becomes a negative buff.
Therefore, for someone like July, who is quick-witted and not stubborn, one must possess genuine strength and absolute Confidence in their power to disregard the majesty of a king when they are of Common Species.
This is also why Luo Yu plans to arrange for July to spar with the Water Devil Beast... In addition, with the Honey Water Bee's "Courage Enhancement Talent" and the dream pressure mentioned by Yu Lei, her willpower might be well tempered.
Of course, July wasn't without her own "Obsession." After all, Luo Yu had thought it over carefully. A powerful Monarch Species was a powerful Monarch Species, and Water Devil Beast was Water Devil Beast; the two couldn't be generalized. In July's eyes, a powerful Monarch Species might be troublesome, but there was no need to provoke it...
But the Water Devil Beast is its beloved family and friends, and its future fishing rod!
How could a seasoned angler possibly give up such a perfect fishing rod and let it backfire?
Perhaps this is what allows July to unleash boundless mental power and a strong will. In short, when facing the "fishing tools" and the "fished object," it might just suddenly unleash its full potential... Willpower can be unleashed flexibly.
After learning about the latest progress in the exploration of the Ancient Grotto, Luo Yu did not go there immediately. After all, he had just returned to Mirror Moon Island, had a lot of luggage to pack, and also needed to record the breeding progress.
At this moment, Luo Yu also learned about Chen Bo's research results and looked at him in surprise. "You're quite lucky."
"What do you mean by luck?" Chen Bo retorted, dissatisfied. "My experiments are all based on evidence; they're not just pure luck, okay?"
"Okay..." Luo Yu smiled and said, "Then could you do me a favor and prepare some ' Courage Enhancement ' for me?"
Chen Bo was overjoyed, sensing Luo Yu's approval, and said, "So you really intend to use this method to help July withstand the Sovereign's Pressure."
"... Take it or leave it." Luo Yu didn't refute it, but actually it wasn't like that... Even if he wanted to help July strengthen her courage, he would have to use a permanent injection directly. Time-limited ones are too limiting. This Courage Enhancement was something he prepared for his future guest, "Shi Qianqian".
After all, they're a young lady from the Alliance capital and her pet beast; they probably haven't undergone much rigorous training, and their levels were all achieved through resources. Even if the Sting Training Method is very effective, they might not be able to accept it...
This is where the Courage Enhancement comes in, allowing the Seedling Turtle to easily tense up when being handled.
Next, Luo Yu packed his things and inspected the breeding farm as usual. He had been away for more than ten days, and the Ink Fish and Honey Water Bee must have bred another round.
As for the Ink Fish, Luo Yu had already taken a look when selecting evolved individuals. With a large number of "Breeding Paragon" joining the breeding army, Senior Level talent individuals were being born in an explosive manner.
The "Mental Overload" Ink Fish have already bred dozens of them, and it won't be long before they gather over a hundred to conduct a round of Senior Level talent fusion evolution experiments.
That's how "Breeding Paragon" are: when their numbers are small, they're still impressive, but far less terrifying than when they're numerous. The term "exponential explosion" describes this situation perfectly: the more "Breeding Paragon" participate in mating, the more "Breeding Paragon"Breeding Paragon are born, and then even more participate in mating again...
Of course, now even the "Breeding Paragon" with only one talent are no longer Luo Yu's favorites. Now Luo Yu even has a few more that are more cunning!
For example, number...
[Race]: Ink Fish
[Individual Talent]: 1. Breeding Paragon
2. Rock Element Affinity. For example... No. 2.
[Race]: Ink Fish
[Individual Talent]: 1. Breeding Paragon
2. Eight-Sword Style
Yes, Luo Yu has bred various "Breeding Paragon + keyword entries" as mothers.
In this way, even more exceptional individuals can be bred!
If you pair up No. 1 and No. 2, there's a high probability that you'll produce an individual that possesses both "Rock Element Affinity" and "Eight-Sword Style".
Imagine 120 Ink Fish, 60 with Rock Element Affinity " and 60 with " Eight-Sword Style ".
Which has a more overpowered evolved ability: 120 or 120, both possessing "Rock Element Affinity" and "Eight-Sword Style"?
Both have 120 fusion evolutions, but the latter is definitely more overpowered, after all, it has twice as many talent attributes!!!
certainly...
Whether 120 is the limit of evolution remains to be seen, and Luo Yu will need to conduct further experiments. Although this evolution only involved the fusion of 120 Ink Fish, there may still be some influencing factors involved.
For example, could it be related to the hierarchy of the individuals being "Dominion"?
This experiment only used a level 2 "Dominion" individual. Could a higher-level individual be used to create more Ink Fish?
After checking on the situation with the Ink Fish, Luo Yu went to the Honey Water Bee breeding base.
The surprise for Luo Yu here was even bigger!
"It's finally here!"
[Race]: Honey Water Bee
[Individual Talent]: Rock Element Enhancement
Finally, a Rock Element Enhancement Honey Water Bee has been bred and mutated, giving us another way to strengthen our Rock Element power!
Evolution is necessary; this one must evolve into Knight Bee and be properly trained.
Besides this one, Luo Yu is also looking for other individuals suitable to become new members of the Bee Empress's household.
After looking around, I found that there was nothing that could compare to "Void Knight" and "Self-Destruct Knight"... Actually, there are some individuals with very strong functions, such as "Clairvoyance". This Honey Water Bee is only level 1, but it can already clearly see the slightest movement of the wind and grass several kilometers away.
If the level is high enough, Clairvoyance is not a dream. Luo Yu felt that this kind of functional talent was also very useful in certain situations. "Scouts" are an indispensable position for all fleets. The future Empress is also destined to engage in countless aerial battles. Facing those flying creatures with excellent eyesight, her own eyesight certainly cannot be bad.
However, the benefits these special talents can currently bring to the Bee Empress are far less than those from Power of Space and explosive power, so Luo Yu is not in a hurry to make arrangements.
Since the short-term goal is "Abyss Trial", even if new familiars are assigned to the Bee Empress, those who can directly improve combat power will definitely be prioritized.
After finishing his inspection of the Honey Water Bee, Luo Yu went to the research institute's No. 3 breeding farm... the sheep breeding farm.
That is, the QQ Ranch where the Rock Goat and the Fat Water Sheep live.
Since their arrival was brief, there are probably not many changes here.
Although, under Luo Yu's matchmaking, the "Crossbreeding Model" Rock Goat has already mated with a "Kindred Stenches" "Aroma Condensation" Fat Water Sheep, the gestation period of sheep, a mammal, is much longer than that of marine mollusks like octopuses or insects like bees.
A full six months!
It will take six months to produce!
Six months later, the Abyss Trial and the Tidal Corpse Transformation were over!
Therefore, Luo Yu, accustomed to breeding Ink Fish and Honey Water Bee, disliked breeding such long-cycle creatures. If it weren't for the "Crossbreeding Model" seeming quite interesting, and his curiosity about the offspring of Rock Goat and Fat Water Sheep, he definitely wouldn't have started this project. "Ultimately, Qianqian, hurry up and come!"
Luo Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart Shi Qianqian. The Seedling Turtle with the Time Acceleration ability could temporarily speed up his growth, so once the ability was fully developed, could it speed up the gestation period of other creatures?
This is also why Luo Yu values time-related resources so much...
If one had a pet beast that possessed time-related superpowers, then such a species with a long gestation period could have its birth accelerated.
After inspecting all three breeding bases and making some preparations, Luo Yu headed to the Ancient Grotto.
This way.
An Yao, who appears to be a little girl, is conducting archaeological research using a very novel method.
Angel Dolphin possess a racial ability called "Sweet Dream," a form of hypnosis that allows them to induce other creatures into Dream Entry state—a Perfect Sleep —which rapidly restores their physical strength and energy, relieving fatigue.
The Angel Dolphin also possesses a special ability.
It's called "Dream Entry," meaning being able to enter the dreams of other beings.
After discovering a way to allow avian mutant beasts to connect with the earth's vein memories through dreams, An Yao has been sending Angel Dolphin into the dreams of these mutant beasts to personally travel back to ancient times and explore the secrets of the grottoes.
"Scholar An Yao is still sleeping," said Bai Dong, the Hybridization Granny, after Luo Yu arrived. "No rush, I'll conduct an experiment first," Luo Yu said with a chuckle.
This time he brought something new.
The Rock Goat, fermented for over a month, is incredibly flavorful; the upgraded Rock Turtle honey, collected by Knight Bee, has even higher nutritional value; and there's also... the "Chen Bo Rock Element Enhancement," which Chen Bo synthesized using "Rock Element Enhancement Toxins" before leaving the house...
He planned to experiment with another Earth Penguin. Previously, he had only equipped it with the Heart of Rock for evolution without using any technology. This time... it would be all about technology and hardcore techniques. He intended to see if the Earth Penguin would evolve into a new form with a complete upgrade in resources!
