Mental Defense Manual

On the shelves on either side, a teardrop-shaped blue crystal is placed in a small transparent box.

The inside of the teardrop crystal shimmers with light, like ripples in water.

Elsewhere, a fist-sized, deep blue crystal sat quietly on a shelf, shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist, emanating a chilling aura.

[Water Element Essence: A Tier 5, beginner-level beast-taming resource, an evolutionary resource condensed from a Lord-level water-type ferocious beast, capable of greatly enhancing the strength of water-type ferocious beasts.]

[Netherworld Crystal: A Tier 5, beginner-level Beast Taming resource, suitable for the evolution of Shadow-type ferocious beasts, enhancing their strength.]

Both resources are fifth-tier, low-level rare and precious materials, which are exactly the evolution resources that Su Yuan needs right now.

"With the essence of water element and the Netherworld Crystal, plus the fourth-tier auxiliary materials that I had the Huangfu family collect for me beforehand."

"Xiao You and Xiao Xuan can finally evolve! Then all my tamed beasts will be upgraded to perfect quality!"

Su Yuan glanced at the two beast-taming resources, his smile never fading, and murmured to himself.

He then stepped forward and took the transparent box containing the essence of water element and the piece of Nether Crystal from the shelf.

"We've acquired two beast evolution resources, and there's another reward to claim next. We can take our time to choose."

After taking down two fifth-tier evolution resources, Su Yuan's gaze once again fell on the shelves displaying treasures around him, searching for his desired target.

With the evolution resources from Xiao You and Xiao Xuan, Su Yuan lost much interest in other fifth-tier beast-taming resources.

Even though some of them contained mid-level fifth-tier beast-taming resources, Su Yuan did not intend to take them, as they were of no use to him at the moment.

After several selections, Su Yuan finally took a book off the shelf.

The book cover prominently displays the three large characters "Huang Tingdun".

Su Yuan opened the cover and saw the introduction to the book on the first page.

[Huang Ting Shield]: A mental defense manual. Cultivation allows one to condense a soul shield in the sea of ​​consciousness to resist mental attacks. Upon reaching mastery, one can even project mental power to form a psychic shield to resist material attacks!

"Upon mastering this technique, one can project their mental energy to form a shield. This must be the mental technique Mayor Zhao used to defend against Xiao Yan's Annihilation Flame Eye."

As Su Yuan looked at the introduction of the Yellow Court Shield, he couldn't help but recall the scene of Zhao Zhongyue facing Xiao Yan's attack.

"Huang Tingdun, this third reward is decided!"

Immediately, Su Yuan decided to adopt this method as his third option.

In terms of mental attacks, he already possesses the "Soul Arrow," a technique that the general public can learn.

Although the "Soul Arrow" is not a particularly advanced mental attack technique, Su Yuan's strength lies in his powerful mental strength. Even such a common and basic mental attack method can be used to exert tremendous power in his hands.

What Su Yuan lacked was only mental defense mechanisms.

Now that he has the Huang Ting Shield, he can make up for his weakness in mental defense.

Once he masters the Yellow Court Shield, he will be able to handle any mental attacks from enemies with stronger mental power.

After selecting the three treasures he needed, Su Yuan did not linger in the treasure room but turned and walked out.

After passing through the entrance hall, Su Yuan walked out of the treasure room and appeared in front of Zhao Zhongyue and the other two.

"Su Yuan, you've already chosen the reward you want?"

"This is a rare opportunity to enter the treasure room; you should choose some treasures that will be useful to you."

"There's still time, Su Yuan, you can go back and choose carefully."

Seeing Su Yuan emerge from the treasure room in less than three minutes, Zhao Zhongyue looked surprised.

Seeing the three items in Su Yuan's hand, Zhao Zhongyue was even more puzzled.

The Yellow Court Shield is alright; it's a decent mental defense technique, and Zhao Zhongyue himself is practicing it, so he knows how powerful this manual is.

But he had some doubts about the other two items in Su Yuan's hands.

If he wasn't mistaken, Zhao Zhongyue was certain that the other two items in Su Yuan's hands were water element essence and Netherworld Crystal.

Without exception, neither of these two beast-taming resources could be used by Su Yuan's beast, the Crimson Sun Bird.

Even if they were to be sold, Su Yuan should not have chosen these two resources.

After all, there are also mid-level fifth-tier resources in the treasure room, which are more valuable than these two low-level fifth-tier resources.

That's why Zhao Zhongyue spoke up to remind Su Yuan.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mayor. I only choose the right treasures, not the most expensive ones. These three treasures are all beneficial to me, so there's no need to go back and choose again."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan smiled faintly at Zhao Zhongyue and said gratefully.

"Since you've already made up your mind, I won't say anything more. Let's go, let's leave this place."

Su Yuan's answer caused a glint to flash in Zhao Zhongyue's eyes.

Seeing that Su Yuan had made his decision, Zhao Zhongyue said no more. After closing the door to the treasure room again, he left with Su Yuan.

After leaving the treasure room, Su Yuan returned to the city hall lobby and asked Zhao Zhongyue and Wang Gang for permission to leave.

Now that he had obtained the main materials for Xiao You and Xiao Xuan's evolution, Su Yuan did not want to delay the evolution of the two beasts for even a moment.

Neither Zhao Zhongyue nor Wang Gang refused Su Yuan's request to leave.

They had already pre-selected Su Yuan as the winner of this simulation battle, so Su Yuan would not need to participate in the next three days of simulation battles.

All Su Yuan needs to do is attend the final rankings of the third day of the simulation battle; it's just a formality.

"Old Wang, Su Yuan is a genius at your school. You know him better than I do."

"Are this kid's other two beasts water-type and shadow-type?"

After Su Yuan left, Zhao Zhongyue suddenly asked Wang Gang a question.

Upon hearing this, Wang Gang looked at Zhao Zhongyue with a slightly surprised expression, seemingly shocked by the other party's keen sense of smell.

"That's right, Su Yuan does indeed have a water-type beast and a shadow-type beast."

"Moreover, the quality of these two beasts is quite good, only slightly inferior to the Crimson Sun Bird."

"But Old Zhao, how did you know that Su Yuan also possessed these two kinds of tamed beasts?"

After Wang Gang finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhongyue with a curious gaze.

If Zhao Zhongyue had only mentioned that Su Yuan had a water-based beast, Wang Gang wouldn't have been so surprised.

After all, it's no secret that Su Yuan's first beast was a mutated water brethren obtained from the Tianyang City Breeding Center.

However, Su Yuan's second tamed beast was the Gale Shadow Cat, which he contracted in the Misty Forest.

Besides Su Yuan himself, only Wang Gang knew about this matter.

"How do I know? It's all because this kid selected a portion of water element essence and a portion of Netherworld Crystal from the treasure vault in Tianyang City. That's how I guessed it."

"Hehe, Old Zhao, you old fellow, your mind is as meticulous as ever."

"Of course, I am the mayor of Tianyang City after all."

"Stop joking around. The arena battles over in the central square have probably already started. Let's go check on the other core students."

"Almost all the geniuses in Tianyang City have gathered together this time, which is also the best opportunity for those traitors to make their move. We cannot let our guard down."

"That's true. We can't let those guys take advantage of this. Let's go."

After exchanging a few words, the two quickly left the city hall and headed towards the central square of Tianyang City.
