"Godzilla?"
Li Pu's expression tensed upon hearing this name.
Perhaps others didn't know, but he had heard this name from his grandfather before.
Though there wasn't much information besides the name, the fact that it was mentioned by his grandfather indicated that this magical creature must be quite remarkable or have some unique qualities.
"That's right, Godzilla."
"A magical beast said to be nearly or already extinct."
Fu Erdai continued with the introduction upon seeing Li Pu's interested expression.
"Legend has it that at the start of the Great Mutation, this magical beast already descended upon our world."
"However, traces of it can no longer be found; occasionally, there are rumors outside the Federation, but the truth remains uncertain."
"The combat power of this magical beast is terrifying, capable of rapidly destroying a city single-handedly."
"Whenever they appear, summoners are likely facing a fierce battle."
"However, the temperament of this magical beast is rather peculiar—sometimes completely neutral, sometimes full of aggression."
"In any case, its appearance doesn't always lead to a grand battle."
As they spoke, the two had already approached the area of the scales.
Li Pu had visited Fury Hall once before to use the beginner's blue talisman.
Back then, he was not yet a summoner.
Now, having become a summoner and returning, he experienced something previously unfelt.
That feeling was oppression.
Upon nearing the scales, he felt a strong sense of oppression.
"There's actually a small story behind these scales."
Similarly feeling the oppression, Fu Erdai stopped but it didn't stop him from speaking confidently three meters away.
"The scales were found and brought back by an alumni a dozen years ago during his travels outside the Federation."
"According to the school's research department's analysis, this Godzilla's growth could likely exceed 100 years."
"Moreover, the alumni predecessor only found the scales, never seeing the body, so whether the owner of the scales is still alive remains unknown."
At this moment, Li Pu also chose not to get closer.
Until adapting to the oppressive feeling, stepping forward proved difficult and he needed some time.
"Have these scales, fallen for at least a dozen years, retained such strong oppression?"
Listening to Fu Erdai's introduction, Li Pu felt a bit moved.
But this was good news for him, as the beast's aura retained well on the scales, indicating a higher chance of holding enough vitality inside.
"Indeed, and initially the school invested five years of research and exploration on them."
"Ultimately, due to the overly sturdy structure, few concrete results emerged."
"Yet, simply by imitating the ratio and composition of its constituent materials, they developed the new 'West Capital No. 01'."
"After making no further progress, they decided to showcase it in Fury Hall."
Li Pu couldn't help but gain a newfound respect for Fu Erdai through these words.
He hadn't expected this blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy to know so much.
Such a wealth of information is indeed an essential trait for a summoner, which perhaps sets him apart from Fu Erdai.
"Speaking of the Godzilla magical beast, do you know what its most powerful aspect is?"
Perhaps understanding Li Pu's expression, Fu Erdai became even more intrigued.
"Its most powerful aspect lies in its capability to enlarge."
"Reportedly, a regular Godzilla typically stands around three to four meters tall, similar to the Glowing Fang you saw just now."
"When faced with a formidable enemy, it can enlarge its size numerous times over."
"This enlargement is distinct from the non-combat forms of other summoned beasts."
"With its size increase, its power also grows."
"These scales were likely shed during such an enlargement."
"By their size, you can imagine just how large that Godzilla became."
However, the last sentence left Li Pu in disagreement.
Without knowing what Godzilla looks like, how could he imagine it based on just a scale?
Yet at this time, he felt he had adapted to the oppressive feeling.
After all, it was an old artifact; once accustomed, it wasn't as daunting as initially thought.
Thus, Li Pu set out once more towards the scales.
Upon close inspection, it differed from viewing from afar.
This was just a giant scale, but upon its surface lay many more tiny scales.
These small scales formed a diamond-like staggered pattern, interwoven as though a type of scale armor.
The deep green, almost eerie black hue subtly reflected light; judging by eyesight alone, its hardness might not be inferior to those renowned for toughness like metal.
"Careful, it's sharp."
Fu Erdai's reminder echoed from behind.
During Li Pu's adaptation period, Fu Erdai also adapted.
While Li Pu closed in, almost face-to-face with it, Fu Erdai halted a meter away.
Even reaching this point was impressive; few freshmen in Fury Hall could achieve this.
It proved that he too was an outstanding newcomer.
Li Pu heard the warning, but with the object before him, he couldn't resist touching it.
With caution, he gradually extended his palm to press upon the surface of the scales.
Almost immediately, a wave of dizziness surged through his brain.
Weakness flooded his feet; if not for his strong left leg, he almost lost his balance.
("So intense?")
Such an experience was unlike what he felt at the Taichi Snail Shell.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Responding to his classmate's concern, Li Pu simply waved his hand.
Despite this, he didn't give up, keeping his palm against the surface.
Applying a bit more pressure, the slight sting of pain woke him significantly.
He began focusing his mind, soon perceiving a stream of information entering his mind.
Even though this description might feel inappropriate, Li Pu had to use "magnificent" to describe the stream of information.
After expending considerable mental energy, the specific information finally presented itself completely.
[LV1-Godzilla's Power (S)]
Active Effect: Upon activation, gain Godzilla's Power
Attributes: 10 Chaos
Type: Fury/Balanced
Species: Godzilla Type
Ignoring the rest, the mere presence of an S-grade left Li Pu dumbfounded.
He initially assumed A-grade or A+ was the cap, but now an S-grade emerged?
Clearly, this was a divine skill!
The jackpot, friend!
"Are you sure you're alright?"
Seeing Li Pu unmoving for a long time, with complex emotions written across his face, Fu Erdai expressed concern.
"You..."
At this moment, Li Pu awoke from his reverie, turned back and asked Fu Erdai a question.
"Do you have 500,000 Crystal Coins on you?"
