Chapter 265: Su Ping Returns to the Secret Realm to Test His Skills!
"Hey, Xiaoping!"
Qin Erlong picked up the phone and smiled when he saw the name on the other end.
Qin Xiaoxue and Sang Sheng, who were beside him, turned their heads to look at the old man.
"Hehe, aren't you busy working on that new pet breeding project with Old Liu? What made you think of calling me now?"
The two exchanged glances, but Qin Erlong didn't put the call on speakerphone. They were a bit distant, and it wasn't worth using spiritual power to eavesdrop.
"Good man! Congratulations! Has Old Liu returned to the city? I'll use this as an excuse to visit him and get a pot of tea."
Qin Erlong beamed with a smile, showing no surprise at Su Ping's words on the phone. In this regard, no one understood Su Ping better than him.
What kind of difficult breeding task is this?
It's just that these breeders' abilities are not up to par.
Talking about it is useless.
"Yeah, yeah! No problem! What's the big deal? You can come directly! I'll find you when you arrive, and the two of us will go and give it a try."
"Hahaha, don't worry. It's not a big deal. The Beast Tamer Association has the most professional equipment and facilities... Oh? You want something more advanced? That might be a bit troublesome...
But finding some open space is not an issue. The Beast Tamer Association has a sustainable secret realm! If all else fails, I'll take you there. That should be fine, right?"
Qin Erlong waved his hand, appearing very accommodating, patting his chest and making a promise. Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside him, rolled her eyes at Sang Sheng:
"Who knows what the old man is up to. He's probably up to something."
Sang Sheng glanced at her husband, but since it was Su Ping's matter, she wouldn't refuse.
Indeed, as expected, Qin Erlong was very generous and said to Su Ping on the phone:
"No problem! What could go wrong? I'm here, and Aunt Sang is here too! Listen to me, since you're so confident, come to the Beast Tamer Association. I'll wait for you at the entrance, and we'll go to the Flower Paradise Secret Realm together! I want to see what kind of skill it is!"
"Hahaha, although the Flower Paradise Secret Realm doesn't have the time attribute, it has an Emperor-level, or even a quasi-Sacred Spirit-level Emperor Peony, the Flower Paradise Queen, guarding it. What could possibly go wrong..."
"Yeah, yeah, come on. I haven't seen Old Liu and Master Zhu Hong for quite some time."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Erlong shook his head and sighed, "This stinker, when did he become so polite?"
However, at this moment, Sang Sheng had caught a piece of information. Although she didn't deliberately use her spiritual power to eavesdrop, she heard what the old man said very clearly!
It's related to the secret realm?
Especially this boy and the secret realm?
Sang Sheng thought for a moment and asked:
"Erlong, what's up with Su Ping?"
Qin Erlong stood up from the sofa and chuckled, "What do you think? I told you, Old Liu's skills are not up to par! Look at Su Ping's research speed. Old Liu wants to start a project, and every time he goes back and forth, it takes half a year to come up with something new.
That super-tier skill breeding for the Ice Tooth White Wolf has been going on for so many years, and they still haven't made any progress.
And what happened? Xiaoping told them about it during the New Year, and it was all done within half a month after the New Year! If you ask me, Old Liu is getting old..."
Qin Erlong rambled on, but Sang Sheng's eyelids twitched rapidly:
"So, this boy wants to test the power and effect of this skill, right? He's looking for a suitable situation to test it."
Qin Erlong had already put on his coat.
Sang Sheng asked again, "So you agreed, and you're even going to try it in the Flower Paradise Secret Realm?"
Qin Erlong gave his wife a strange look, "Yes, mainly because this stinker feels that the testing equipment at the Beast Tamer Association can't accurately gauge the effect, so he insists on a field test. But this is a minor matter, and Old Liu and Master Zhu are also coming along..."
Sang Sheng fell silent.
Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside her, blinked:
"Um... Grandma, Su Ping will definitely be careful."
Sang Sheng turned to look at her granddaughter.
That boy will definitely be careful.
Sang Sheng trusted this.
But she didn't trust the pets he bred!
Especially since she had already heard Qin Erlong mention that
When he invited Old Liu and the others, Master Zhu Hong also said that
This research might be on par with the Sun Core.
For this research to be completed in such a short time, she was naturally surprised and delighted for this stinker.
But when she heard that they wanted to test the skill's effect and even enter the Flower Paradise Secret Realm, one of the two cyclic secret realms in Linzhou, Sang Sheng couldn't hold back.
It wasn't that she had any particular opinion about Su Ping in this regard. It was because of the previous incident in the Pine Forest Secret Realm and what happened in the Mystic Snake Secret Realm.
The Snowfield Short-haired Dog was a pet that destroyed homes, but this boy was different. He destroyed secret realms!
Qin Erlong, seeing the expressions of his wife and granddaughter, scratched his head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Qin Xiaoxue didn't hide anything about Su Ping and told him about what happened in the Pine Forest Secret Realm.
Upon hearing this, Qin Erlong laughed and waved his hand:
"That's all? Aunt Sang, you're being too sensitive! I also heard about what happened last time. Su Ping's Sun Core is powerful, but another reason is the strength of that Ten Thousand Wood Wolf."
That Wood Wolf had already reached the Commander rank, and with the boost of an Ultimate Skill, it had accumulated power for so long that the resulting explosion was to be expected.
This time, the little guy said that the thing he cultivated was applied to his Origami Man, who was only at the Commander rank. Furthermore, the Flower Paradise Secret Realm had the Flower Paradise Queen, so there shouldn't be any problems!"
Obviously, Qin Er Long didn't care at all.
After all, what he had witnessed was the cultivation talent of this stinky brat. The only time he had seen him fight was during that one time in the Sword King Secret Realm.
But just as he said, at that time in the Sword King Secret Realm, Su Ping had activated the old sand.
The old sand's strength was unquestionable, but it wasn't Su Ping's contracted companion beast.
To be honest, when these words were spoken, even Sang Sheng, who had just felt that something was amiss, changed her mind and nodded slightly, as if it was indeed the case. However, this Sang Sheng, still being cautious, thought to herself:
"I'll go with you to take a look. It's a chance to see for myself."
"I want to go too!" Qin Xiaoxue jumped up and raised her hand to apply.
"Let's go!"
After a brief preparation, the three of them set off from their home and arrived at the Beast Tamer Headquarters in the center of Linzhou.
They didn't have to wait long before the same three people followed them.
Strictly speaking, this was Su Ping's first time coming to the Beast Tamer Headquarters in Jianghai Linzhou.
Compared to the vast area occupied by the Cultivator Association, this building, which stood tall in the very center of Linzhou, was not very eye-catching, even for the entire city and province.
Su Ping got off the car and saw the three grandparents and grandchildren chatting at the entrance.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Su Ping greeted them with a smile.
Qin Er Long shook his head; they were already familiar with each other, so there was no need for formalities.
After greeting them, they entered the Beast Tamer building.
"Um... Qin Senior, aren't we going to the Flower Paradise Secret Realm?"
Su Ping looked inside the huge building and saw that they were about to enter the elevator, so he quickly asked.
"Yes, the Flower Paradise Secret Realm is inside the Beast Tamer building. This is top-secret; you mustn't tell outsiders about it!"
Qin Er Long joked and then entered the special elevator, directly pressing the button for the -3rd floor.
Underground? Su Ping was slightly taken aback but didn't mind.
Previously, at the Devil's Capital Academy, he had seen many secret realm entrances gathered there and guessed that there must be some ability to attract such secret realm entrances. Therefore, it was reasonable for this 'Earth'-grade, non-recycling secret realm, which couldn't be seen on the Qintianjian backend website, to appear in the Beast Tamer Headquarters.
It must be said that Su Ping was very interested in such an ability.
In the future, if there was a chance to acquire a secret realm for himself, Su Ping also wanted to say, "I want one too!"
But obviously, there was no such opportunity yet.
Upon entering the third basement level, it was clear that this place was no ordinary location.
Not only did they pass through rows of corridors, requiring Qin Er Long's personal authorization, but mechanical detection was also everywhere.
After passing through a long corridor, what appeared before them was a place Su Ping had never imagined.
It was like an underground garden.
There was no stuffiness or darkness, but instead, it was filled with an indescribable natural atmosphere.
At the end of the garden, there was a rotating spatial secret realm entrance.
This secret realm provided the energy for the underground garden's operation, and its power leaked out from within.
"We're here!"
Qin Er Long took the lead, directly entering the non-recycling secret realm that was in an open state.
The Flower Paradise Secret Realm was slightly different from the Forest Secret Realm at the Devil's Capital Academy.
As its name suggested, the Forest Secret Realm was filled with countless forests and various types of plant companion beasts and fierce beasts.
It was a trial ground for the students of the Devil's Capital Academy.
However, the Flower Paradise Secret Realm was clearly different.
At the very least, upon entering, Su Ping didn't see any fierce beasts.
Even if there were companion beasts, they were harmless resource-type companion beasts that had become refined.
They were breeding companion beasts that could continuously produce resources.
And more importantly, there were various kinds of flowers and plants everywhere, along with the pervasive fragrance of flowers.
It was refreshing.
Su Ping was worried that using his abilities here might damage the flowers and plants.
"Flowers!"
Qin Er Long called out, and although there was no response, the flowers on the ground in front of them formed a staircase made of flower petals.
The group slowly stepped onto the staircase.
Each time they stepped on a stair, the scene before them changed.
Did this so-called Flower Paradise Queen also specialize in illusions?
Su Ping was amazed.
Finally, they arrived at an enormous platform made of giant leaves.
Before them, under the platform, were flowers several dozen meters tall.
A massive peony gently swayed in the center, appearing before the group.
"Flower, may I borrow your garden for a moment to test the power of my skill?"
"Swoosh~"
The giant peony nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
Su Ping, however, seemed puzzled.
"Su Ping, didn't you say you couldn't find a suitable place to cast your skill? Flower Flower is connected to the entire Flower Paradise, and all these flowers are a part of her. Although they're not as powerful as her main body, they possess extremely strong defensive capabilities. As long as the origin of the secret realm isn't destroyed, any flower can recover."
"Moreover, each of these flowers has different effects and attributes."
"You think that the advanced skill testing devices in the Beastmaster Association can't detect the power of your origami man's skill. So, just unleash your skill on these flowers!"
Su Ping's eyes lit up at the idea.
A place where he could cause destruction without worry was the dream skill laboratory he had always wanted.
The enormous peony stood tall like an imperial presence amidst the vast garden, unperturbed by the group's arrival.
Su Ping, too, could no longer contain his eagerness and summoned the little origami man, Qian Yi.
"Wow!"
The little origami man, who had not accompanied his master for a long time, appeared extremely excited.
Of course, the main reason for his excitement was likely because his master had given him new equipment, making him stronger.
At this moment, Qian Yi had changed slightly from before!
The massive sword vault on his back resembled a coffin.
It was several times larger than before.
And his attire was no longer the short robe and cloak he wore previously.
Instead, he now wore a colorful long-sleeved windbreaker, making the origami man's outfit seem a bit odd and comical.
However, upon seeing this, both Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong, standing nearby, couldn't help but reveal a hint of anticipation.
What kind of chemical reaction would this mutated origami man, paired with the familiar Five Elements Paper Chart, create?
"Little guy, try to activate the Five Elements Paper Chart windbreaker on these flowers, perfectly utilizing the Five Elements Mutual Control Array, and simultaneously release your sword techniques!"
"Wow!"
Qian Yi excitedly exclaimed.
Su Ping nodded and slowly retreated. If possible, he genuinely didn't want to trouble this side.
However, one reason for not daring to act on a large scale in the suburbs was the great concern from Zhu Hong's Yellow Dragon, Da Huang. Additionally, upon hearing that they would be fighting the completed evolution of that strange thing, even with Da Huang's dragon pride and confidence, it still decisively chose to refuse.
The Grey Sacred Dragon would never stand beneath a dangerous wall!
Even if that wall was made of paper!
Just then, a person's thoughts aligned with Da Huang's, and Sang Sheng, standing nearby, suddenly spoke:
"Su Ping, when testing a companion beast's power, you need to consider it comprehensively. It's not about accumulating power for a long time and then releasing the strongest attack. In battles and beastmaster duels, you won't have the time to prepare for so long! Do you understand?"
Su Ping understood Sang Sheng's concern and quickly nodded: "Don't worry, this time I'm observing Qian Yi's practical combat ability and long-term combat capability! Qian Yi, go!"
"Wow!"
Qian Yi excitedly shouted.
The peony in the center of the garden showed no concern. To the Flower Queen, named Flower, this insignificant origami man wasn't worth a glance unless instructed by her master.
What threat could a Lord Rank creature pose? So, its enormous stamen curled slightly, and then a pale yellow rose slowly swayed in front of Qian Yi. Clearly, this was Qian Yi's first opponent.
This was the weakest controlled flower in the Flower Paradise, but it still possessed Lord Rank capabilities! Dealing with an origami man seemed more than sufficient?
Qin Er Long, standing nearby, also watched Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai with great interest:
"With your confidence, I see. This skill matter, I've reported to the Saint Dragon. To commend Su Ping's contribution to the Dragon Kingdom's cultivation world, he awarded a Dragon Emblem, which should arrive in a couple of days!"
Huh?
Upon hearing this, everyone except Su Ping, who was directing Qian Yi in the distance, and the confused Qin Xiaoxue, stared at Zhu Hong in disbelief.
This Zhu Hong Master hadn't mentioned this before!
Su Ping hadn't officially become a Master Breeder or reached the Holy Spirit Realm, had he? Was it because of this skill?
This was one of the most valuable honors in the Dragon Kingdom!
Suddenly, Qin Er Long looked at the Flower Queen, the Empress Peonies of the Flower Paradise: Flower.
Old Qin suddenly felt that his wife's caution and prudence indeed made sense!
However, at that moment, Sang Sheng, standing nearby, spoke up:
"Su Ping, when testing a companion beast's power, you need to consider its overall combat ability. It's not about accumulating power for a long time and then releasing the strongest attack. In battles and beastmaster duels, you won't have the luxury of time to prepare! Do you understand?"
Su Ping understood Sang Sheng's concern and quickly nodded: "Don't worry, this time I'm observing Qian Yi's practical combat skills! Qian Yi, go!"
"Wow!"
Qian Yi excitedly agreed.
