Gao Peng returned from the Tiange Academy and found that the familiars were training hard in the backyard of the villa .

“Dumby, what's going on here?” Gao Peng asked Dumby .

Dumby put down the Monster Collection Guide in its hands, ignoring Da Zi, who was trying to secretly gesture to it crazily .

“Master, after you left, Da Zi was promoting something to the other familiars, and then they became like this . ”

Da Zi glared at Dumby, and Gao Peng had already walked over to it . “You just had to fool around, didn't you? Naughty Zi . ”

Da Zi retorted, “I didn't fool around . I just want them to work harder…”

“Oh? Why would you need to work harder? Haven't you guys always been hard workers?” Gao Peng smiled .

“If we don't work harder, would you not want us anymore?” Da Zi suddenly asked Gao Peng seriously .

Gao Peng was dazed . He glanced at Da Zi and Moneymaker, who was earnestly doing sit-ups on the ground nearby .

Flowing Light, Xiao Cao, Silly… All of them were peeking in his direction . Gao Peng felt puzzled about what was wrong .

“Why would you have the illusion that I wouldn't want you anymore?” Gao Peng shook his head . After saying this, Gao Peng felt Da Zi's resentful gaze .

“How dare you ask that…? It's only been a few years, and you have so many familiars . Say it . Have you come to like the white-covered book?” It was better not to have mentioned it . Once it was mentioned, Da Zi was full of regrets .

“So I made them work harder to help everyone grow stronger so that you won't want other familiars anymore . ” As if he was afraid to anger Gao Peng, Da Zi only peeked at him after it had finished .

Gao Peng was speechless .

“All right . It's really been a bit boring lately . It's also related to the lack of your opponents on the Earth Star . ” Gao Peng nodded . “Continue to help them train well . ”

Following Gao Peng's words, it seemed that the familiars of the entire villa area became busy . The normally intense training conditions resumed again . In a valley in the backyard hill, a purple thunder-attracting bamboo had been planted, and it was surrounded by plenty of thunderstones . The valley soon turned into a valley of thunder, and the Thunder element in the air was particularly active . This made it very suitable for the survival of monsters with Electric attributes .

After the valley had been built, Da Zi had been spending much less time in the villa area . It spent most of its time training in the valley .

At the same time, an underground pa.s.sage had been cleared, with Stripey's help, in the mountain next to it . This had sparked the magma deep underground, and simultaneously, the Flamy Feather Tree that had previously been transplanted from the top of Mount Heng was planted on the summit . Some other Fire-attribute materials were also moved to the mountainside .

Then the temperature of this mountain rose slightly out of nowhere . Flamy had disliked it a little at first because after all, it was someone else's nest . It was second-hand . However, there must have been a reason that had caused the Nine-headed Flamy Sparrow to be so fond of the place .

The nest was warm, as if it was paved with a layer of geothermal heaters . It was steamy, and the temperature was just right .

After staying for a night, Flamy secretly snuck all of its belongings that were originally in its nest onto the mountain next to the villa .

“You came . ” The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture stood on the edge of the cliff with its wings closed . Its neck turned 180 degrees around to coldly scan Goldie .

Goldie raised its head and said loudly, “I'll accept my defeat . Don't worry, I will soon surpa.s.s you! I can do what you can do!”

The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture smiled . “Well then, I'll look forward to the day that you can press me onto the ground . Your talent is so strong that it's too much of a waste for you to only be at this level right now . ”

Goldie opened its mouth, not knowing how to refute . The grade of the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was two grades lower than its own, yet it had defeated it . It had really been slacking off…

“Are you only Perfect-grade now?” Goldie asked a little reluctantly .

“In the past half a year, I traveled around the mountains . I found the breaths of seven different elements, and I fused them together . ” The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture squinted its eyes . “Your master said that I could be promoted to the Epic grade if I fused the breaths of nine different elements together, but I've never believed in any prophecy in my entire life . I only believe that I create my own opportunities! So I gave up on continuing to fuse them . I'm going to continue to find three or more elements of different attributes and make the last fusion . ”

“Well, I wish you success . ” Goldie cheered for it .

“How do you normally train?” Goldie asked shamelessly . At the same time, it made a resolution from the bottom of its heart . After I follow your methods and succeed in training, I have to beat this bird up .

The day before, it had greatly embarra.s.sed Goldie in front of Flamy . For some reason, being ashamed in front of Flamy had made Goldie very unhappy .

“Extreme weights . ” The Blood Eye Bearded Vulture walked to the other side of the mountain . “Follow me . This is my usual training equipment . ” On the other side of the mountain was a pair of black stones that completely absorbed sunlight . They were dull in color and had very rough surfaces .

“These are the Black Core Rocks . They're rocks that condensed in the sinkholes six miles deep in the ground . They're scarce, and there are only enough for you and me to train with . ”

“Try their weight,” the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture said to Goldie .

Goldie stepped forward and tried to lift it . It didn't take it much effort to lift the Black Core Rock that was the size of a watermelon, but Goldie was stunned . Ever since it had been promoted to the Lord tier, all the rocks in the world were very light to it . It could even effortlessly raise a stone of its same height, but this Black Core Rock of a watermelon's size was heavier than a 15-foot-tall iron rock . It was at least a hundred times the weight of an ordinary stone of the same volume!

“Every day, I use my feathers to lift a Black Core Rock of this size . Only after so much hard work and training can I become invincible . Every one of my feathers was trained to the extreme, and with the help of the feathers, the muscles and skin underneath can also be trained together . They can also tell me the control I have over my muscles, and I can then use every muscle in my body when I fight…” the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture said in a deep voice .

Goldie stopped listening to its words after that . There was only one sentence floating in its mind . Every one of its feathers was trained to the extreme… Every single one of its feathers?? You must be joking me!

A strange scene appeared on the top of the mountain . On the left side, a beastly bare yellow and blue striped duck was standing upside down with one wing on the ground and the other wing next to its side . Its arms were crossed on its chest, and a piece of Black Core Rock that was as big as a house was hooked on its legs .

At the same time, the wing on the ground was still slightly undulating as it did inverted single-winged push-ups . Every push-up caused the body's muscle lines to become smoother, and hundreds of small muscle groups tightened and relaxed, constantly pus.h.i.+ng the limits .

On the other side, a gigantic Blood Eye Bearded Vulture was maintaining balance as it posed as a flamingo standing on one foot with its wings raised at the same time . The hundreds of feathers on its wings were erect, and on top of each of the feathers was a Black Core Rock the size of a watermelon . With its breathing pattern, each of the feathers fluctuated up and down rhythmically .

Flamy flew past in the sky and saw the scene beneath it . It couldn't help but shake its head in terror . “It's crazy . Goldie has gone crazy . ”
