Chapter 225: Qin Erlong: No One Understands Su Ping Better Than Me
Chapter 225: Qin Erlong: No One Understands Su Ping Better Than Me
Inside a vast, secluded laboratory of the Cultivator Association, three figures stood gazing at two colossal shadows before them, nodding from time to time.
The three were none other than Liu Fuhai, Qin Erlong, and Master Zhu Hong, who stood between them.
Their eyes were fixed on the scene before them.
At this moment, the two colossal shadows that appeared before them would undoubtedly astonish any ordinary person from the outside world.
These were two genuine behemoths.
With antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like a tiger, and ears like an ox, these two were authentic Eastern Divine Dragons.
However, there were significant differences and changes between them.
The one on the side had a body of greenish-yellow, resembling the texture of a tree trunk.
Its body was adorned with patches of leaves, creating an extremely refreshing appearance.
On its massive dragon head, the dragon whiskers seemed to extend like tree branches. The scales on its body were similar to those of a wooden dragon sculpture.
A Wood Dragon!
Moreover, it was a Wood Dragon of the Divine Dragon race, an incredibly rare attribute within the Dragon race.
This was indeed the case, even for someone of Qin Erlong's caliber, who served as the president of a provincial Cultivator Association and could be considered a high-ranking official. Despite his status, it was not easy to obtain a dragon of such caliber in the entire Dragon Country.
As Master Sang Sheng had mentioned to Master Zhu Hong during their previous conversation, this Wood Dragon was a reward from the upper echelons of the Dragon Country to Sang Sheng after he advanced to the Holy Spirit Rank. However, Sang Sheng chose not to contract this Wood Dragon as his companion beast and instead gifted it to his husband, who was lacking a companion beast contract at the time.
This gesture allowed Qin Erlong to become a Dragon Master.
Simultaneously, this was the primary reason Master Zhu Hong had sought out Qin Erlong.
At this moment, hovering in the air opposite the Wood Dragon was another Eastern Dragon.
It was also a member of the Eastern Dragon race, but unlike the Wood Dragon, which resembled a lifelike wooden sculpture, this Dragon had a brown-yellow body with scales as hard as marble.
Its dragon claws and the muscles on its body were distinctly rugged, giving it a rougher feel compared to the Wood Dragon's delicate appearance.
An Earth Dragon!
This companion beast was also not something that just anyone could obtain. Master Zhu Hong, recognized as a Master Tamer by the Cultivator Association, had made significant contributions to the Dragon Country, and it was only natural for him to possess such a companion beast.
"Brother Qin, your Wood Dragon is truly exceptional. It's no wonder it's a Dragon with a Holy Spirit Rank potential!" Master Zhu Hong exclaimed as he admired the two colossal dragons before him.
"Hehe, with an initial potential at the Holy Spirit Rank, this indicates a missed opportunity for an imperial-level evolution. For a top-tier tamer like you, Master Zhu Hong, such an evolution is the key to a companion beast's rapid strength increase. Even if my Wood Dragon, Big Tree, reaches the Holy Spirit Rank in the future, its strength will likely surpass that of your Earth Dragon!" Qin Erlong replied with humility, but from a certain perspective, this was indeed the truth.
For a tamer like Master Zhu Hong, the evolution process is a crucial opportunity for strength enhancement. Reaching the thresholds of the Imperial and Holy Spirit Ranks is challenging, and even with a potential at those ranks, it's not guaranteed that the companion beast will advance to the Holy Spirit Rank.
This depends on the individual's innate talent and aptitude.
"Therefore, I must thank you again, Brother Qin, for your assistance. With a drop of blood from the Wood Dragon each week, rest assured that I, Master Zhu Hong, will definitely compensate you!" Master Zhu Hong said with a smile.
Dragon blood is an invaluable treasure. For Master Zhu Hong to attempt the evolution of his Earth Dragon, the weekly blood extraction from the Wood Dragon is a significant sacrifice.
Without this, it's impossible for the Wood Dragon to enhance its strength through blood loss.
President Qin smiled and said, "It's just a few drops of blood; it's no big deal. Master Zhu Hong, there's no need to be so polite."
"Roar..."
It was evident that President Qin's generosity made Big Tree, the Wood Dragon, feel disgruntled, and it roared at its master.
Qin Erlong's face turned slightly red, feeling a bit embarrassed as his companion beast didn't give him face.
Master Zhu Hong, however, didn't seem to mind and laughed heartily.
Changing the topic, Qin Erlong soon said, "Speaking of which, Su Ping's victory in the Cultivator Competition was also thanks to Master Zhu Hong's care."
Master Zhu Hong quickly waved his hand and said, "President Qin, there's no need for such formality. Su Ping, along with the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf and the Sun Core, truly deserve the first place!"
"Oh? Is the Sun Core really that remarkable?" Liu Fuhai, standing beside them, glanced at Master Zhu Hong.
This old fellow was always putting on an act.
Master Zhu Hong had witnessed the effects of the Sun Core in the secret realm, yet he was still putting on an act now?
Unaware of this, Master Zhu Hong nodded and said, "It's indeed remarkable. It can gather solar power and directly trigger an explosion.
Such energy is unparalleled, and the Sun Core's energy recovery and other effects are also quite impressive..."
The few words Master Zhu Hong used to describe it were already high praise coming from him.
However, Master Zhu Hong went on to add, "This super-ranked skill has the potential to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Of course, it's just potential for now, and further observation and comparison are needed in the future."
Hmm...
The moment these words left his mouth, even before Qin Erlong could react, Liu Fuhai instinctively turned his head towards the speaker.
A Hall of Skills?
In the world of tamers in the Blue Star realm, this was an achievement of the highest order.
Only a select few exceptionally powerful Super Skills had the chance to be recognized by the world's tamers and enter this realm.
Within this Hall of Skills, only those that left their mark had achieved legendary feats in history and were revered by countless tamers for their formidable skills.
In this realm, there were reportedly less than a hundred skills in total.
Quite a number, it seemed.
But this was the standard by which the Blue Star was measured.
How many different pets were there in the Blue Star? How many unique skills? It was impossible to count!
One could only imagine what it meant for only a hundred or so to enter this realm.
This was the highest honor a skill could receive.
The Sun's Heart had the chance to enter the Hall and leave its name behind. Even though it was just a chance,
it still made even Liu Fuhai feel incredulous at first.
No mistakes, read the flawless version on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar, first release.
However, in reality, Zhu Hong was not joking with them.
After the competition ended, he had informed Sang Sheng about this skill.
Upon hearing how Old Sha nearly blew up the Linzhou Mystic Realm and how, under the sun's endless energy supply,
even Master Zhu Hong was speechless for a long time.
At this moment, even Liu Fuhai couldn't help but exclaim, "Not to mention his ability, this kid's luck is truly incredible!"
Indeed, the appearance and cultivation of such a skill was not just a matter of personal capability but also required a stroke of luck.
Master Zhu Hong nodded in agreement:
"It's just a pity that such luck is so rare, and grasping and realizing it is even more challenging. Fortunately, Su Ping has the capability, but it's not easy to encounter such an opportunity again."
Such sentiments were not shared by Qin Erlong, who perhaps didn't understand the intricacies of skill cultivation as deeply as the other two.
Or perhaps, after witnessing the seemingly impossible feats achieved by Su Ping over the past half a year, Qin Erlong had developed an enigmatic confidence in the young man.
For instance, when it came to the Heart of Wood, Liu Fuhai and Sun Chaoju didn't believe it.
The same went for the perfection of the Thousand Trees Wolf; Liu Fuhai was skeptical.
And later, when the Super Skill emerged, it was the same story.
So, it wasn't impossible for Su Ping to have more such research projects in the future, right? That's why he spoke up for the young man:
"Not necessarily. It seems like this kid didn't put in much effort from start to finish. I still have high hopes for him."
Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong glanced at the old man.
What did he know?
However, just then, a phone call came through, interrupting their idle chat. Liu Fuhai answered the call with a smile:
"What do you know, these people gossiping behind your back can't compare to you. The main person has called!"
The other two were taken aback and turned their attention to Liu Fuhai's phone.
After answering the call, Liu Fuhai put it on speaker:
"Hello, Xiao Ping?"
"Old Liu, where are you?"
Su Ping's cheerful and excited voice came through the phone.
"Where else would I be? I'm at the Association. What's up? Do you need something?"
"It's not a big deal. I've got some research directions recently and need some help..."
Su Ping's voice came through, and Liu Fuhai immediately smiled and asked, "What's the matter? How many people do you need? All the young lads in Linzhou want to go to your place and assist with the Super Skill research on the Thousand Trees Wolf!"
"Well... I don't need ordinary tamers. I was thinking of asking you, are you free these days? Can you come over? I don't really trust anyone else for this."
Hmm?
He wanted his help?
Although he would soon be promoted to president by the end of the year and wouldn't be as busy as before, he didn't think he'd be needed for such a minor matter.
Suddenly, Liu Fuhai seemed to realize something:
"Is it about the Ice Fang White Wolf?!!!"
Su Ping, hearing this name from the phone, scratched his head awkwardly. Liu Fuhai didn't mention it, and he almost forgot about this matter.
But at this moment, he could only speak the truth:
"It's not that, but it is about a new Super Skill."
"A new Super Skill?"
This time, even Master Zhu Hong was intrigued and asked subconsciously.
"Ah, Master Zhu Hong, you're there too."
However, at this moment, no one seemed to care about Su Ping's greeting. Liu Fuhai immediately asked eagerly:
"What Super Skill? On what pet is it being cultivated? What's the effect? How does it compare to the Sun's Heart?"
Su Ping answered, "It's about the Super Skill of Quintessence Energy! It's being cultivated on the evolved Origami Person I created! The effect is hard to say, but compared to the Sun's Heart, at least from what we know now, it might have an even more wondrous and interesting basic effect than the Sun's Heart."
Liu Fuhai: "????"
Master Zhu Hong: "????"
These two were still in a daze, seemingly unable to process the vast amount of information Su Ping had just shared.
Qin Erlong just spread his hands:
"I told you, no one understands this kid better than me."
