Chapter 277: Isn't Super Rank Skill Just About Breeding?
Chapter 277: Isn't Super Rank Skill Just About Breeding?
North Chill City.
A massive city built amidst the cold winds and snow.
Resisting the harsh cold of the North, and the occasional rampaging waves of Cold Tide Beasts.
Two figures stood in a room at the very top of this city.
The warm air in the room was stagnant, and the high window was open, allowing the howling northwest wind to sweep through, dispelling the warmth.
However, these two figures seemed to feel no cold at all.
Standing by the window, they chatted idly, or rather awkwardly.
"Have all the breeders recommended by the various provinces arrived?" asked Cold Sir, a young man in his twenties with silver hair, to the person beside him.
The other was an old man with black hair, a complete contrast.
The corners of the old man's mouth were always curved in a smile, making him appear, at first glance, like a well-preserved, wealthy elder with a rosy complexion. But in reality, those who truly knew this man understood that a Necromancy Master was not like a normal person.
The man before him was no exception.
"Who knows? If you ask me, the very fact that Charles was able to develop the Hall-level skill 'Necromancy Dead Zone' is likely due to some astonishing secrets he discovered in the Sky Tomb!
And this might just be a side benefit; no one knows what other secrets might be hidden there.
The Holy Dragon Lord and those with authority are taking this exploration of the Sky Tomb very seriously. Although we are cultivating personnel, it's not the same as the Eagle Nation's approach of sacrificing lives. However, the higher-ups are skeptical about completing the exploration of the Sky Tomb in one go.
So, these breeders will record the breeding conditions of their pets. If something happens to this batch, we will quickly cultivate the next batch within five to ten years. The secrets of the Sky Tomb must be completely under our control."
However, Master Yin didn't seem to mind the Sky Tomb:
"Even if ancient secrets are discovered, what of it? Compared to ancient times, the development of our beast taming civilization is much more rapid."
Cold Sir didn't say much more.
From a certain perspective, the status of a Sacred Spirit-level beast tamer and breeding master was indeed vastly different.
But as someone who truly understood high-end combat power, Cold Sir was somewhat knowledgeable about certain matters.
He was also well-informed about some possible ancient secrets.
While this statement was mostly true, there was no doubt that modern beast tamers were more powerful than their ancient counterparts.
However, there were some secrets, whether rumors or truths, that he only partially understood. This ancient secret might be hiding unimaginable mysteries.
Otherwise, the Dragon Nation wouldn't have mobilized its underground network across the country to search for the remaining two keys to the Sky Tomb in the Eagle Nation.
The Sky Tomb, marked with bones, was located in the Necromancy Nation and the Lion Nation, known as the Empire of the Sun.
The attitudes of these two nations made it clear that the Sky Tomb was not as simple as it seemed.
The cold wind blew, and after a pause, the old man spoke:
"Old Zhu's Yellow Dragon has successfully evolved, and it even broke through the Sacred Spirit-level, using the Wood and Earth Dual System. It returned to Dragon City a few days ago and had an intense battle with that Ice Dragon."
Cold Sir nodded, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "It seems that Master Zhu will be promoted soon. Truly remarkable!"
The old man thought for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, Old Zhu completed his evolution in Linzhou, and he seems to have been staying at a young lad's home. I think he's the first-place winner of this year's breeding competition. Truly talented! I heard that the young lad's surname is Su. Do you know anything about him?"
"Isn't he from the Breeder's Association? Why are you asking me?" Cold Sir replied indifferently.
"Hehe, I heard some news that you visited Linzhou recently. I was wondering if..."
"Master Yin, this involves some confidential matters..." Cold Sir interrupted without hesitation.
Master Yin was slightly taken aback and glanced out the window at the cold wind howling outside. He did not speak further to the Ghost Saint, who was staring calmly at the window.
As a master breeder of the Necromancy system, he naturally understood the temperament of this Ghost Saint.
Moreover, breeders and beast tamers of the Necromancy system often had eccentric personalities, and Master Yin was no exception.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Cold Sir finally stretched lazily.
"Alright, Master Yin, I won't disturb your rest. There are some matters in the legion that I need to attend to. I'll go handle them first, and then come find you again during the selection assembly later!"
"No problem, you go ahead."
The old man waved goodbye with a smile, and after he left, a glimmer of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Cold Sir walked out of the rare high-end hotel in North Chill City.
The cold-faced man who had been waiting at the entrance followed behind and opened the car door, taking the driver's seat. He glanced at Cold Sir in the rearview mirror and asked, "Sir, are we heading back to the legion?"
"Don't rush. Let's go to the Rong Family Mansion in the southern suburbs first and pick up Su Anyong, that little brat. Then we'll head to the airport."
"The airport?" The driver, Xing Chen, was taken aback and blinked.
Cold Sir was in a good mood and rarely explained, "The top breeder in our competition, the youngest genius breeder, has come to Bei Yuan Province. It's only right for us to show some hospitality as hosts."
Xing Chen's eyelids twitched.
"Sir, Su Ping is only nineteen this year. Why are we going to those places?"
Cold Sir glared at him. "Are you refusing to do it? I'm just showing some hospitality. Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Xing Chen shrank back.
He really wanted to say that he hadn't mentioned which places, but Master Yin was being overly sensitive.
However, he didn't say anything. Having followed this Ghost Saint for many years, he was a trusted and loyal follower who understood his temperament well. In this situation, it actually indicated that the Ghost Saint wasn't angry.
They arrived at the southern suburbs, and it didn't take long before Su Anyong came running out of a large estate and got into the car.
"Second Brother, it's not easy to come to North Chill City, and you're in such a hurry to leave?"
Cold Sir glanced at him but didn't answer the question. Instead, he said with interest, "Su Anyong, you too? After finishing with your sister, you're going after your little sister now?"
If anyone else had said this, Su Anyong would have directly smacked them, but facing Cold Sir, he could only sigh in exasperation, "Second Brother, I really don't have anything going on with Xiao Qiu. We're like siblings."
"Tsk."
Cold Sir didn't respond but nodded meaningfully.
This made Su Anyong even more helpless, "Really, I came to the Rong Family to discuss with Old Man Rong about helping Su Ping evolve that mutated Poison System Wolf."
"Tsk."
"..."
Seeing Su Anyong's silence, Cold Sir said, "You're going to help his son evolve, and you're here chatting with us? I'll ask you, do you know what day it is today?"
S
"You're trying to surprise your own father? Su Ping is arriving in North Chill City today, and he's waiting for you and the Rong Family to complete the pet evolution. If this kid doesn't come to see him, you've probably forgotten about this son of yours, right?"
Cold Sir gave a cold laugh.
Su Anyong was too surprised to react and exclaimed in disbelief, "Su Ping is coming to North Chill City today?"
Cold Sir gave him a sidelong glance and didn't bother to respond.
At the same time, the vehicle slowly rose into the air and quickly flew across North Chill City towards the North Chill Airport.
...
Cold Sir stepped out of the plane, and with the first breath, the cold air filled his lungs, causing his spirit to tremble.
The chill in March was so intense that even some plants had already taken root and sprouted in Linzhou.
But in North Chill City, the vast expanse of snow-white landscape and the howling cold wind made Su Ping shiver. He quickly entered the airport hall.
In this era where planes were already an extremely luxurious means of transportation, the hall wasn't crowded, and Su Ping immediately spotted several figures standing out like cranes among the chickens.
"Cold Sir, Xing Ge, why did you come personally?"
Su Anyong looked at Su Ping with suspicion and then at the two men beside him with even more suspicion.
It was one thing for him to know Cold Sir, but how did he also know Xing Chen?
Filled with doubts, Su Anyong was even more surprised when Cold Sir burst into laughter, seeming even more friendly than he was. He walked over and patted Su Ping's shoulder, "You little brat, we're here to have some fun..."
Su Anyong quickly responded, "Second Brother, I'll take him to the Rong Family Mansion first. He can stay there."
Cold Sir pondered for a moment and nodded.
"That's true. How long do you plan to stay here, young man? It's not like we can't spare a day."
Su Ping also smiled, "I'll probably be staying for a while. I have some business in Bei Yuan as well."
"Alright, get in the car first. Speaking of which, the Rong family is like another home for you, a place you've probably never been to since you were little, right?"
Cold Sir was no stranger to human emotions. After getting into the car, he messaged Xing Chen or Su Anyong, "Let the old ghost of the Rong family know, and prepare well tonight. I'm taking my grandson to dinner. If they don't treat us well, I'll catch that big snake and fry it."
Su Anyong and Xing Chen looked helpless.
This man was truly straightforward.
But in the North Border, there was indeed nowhere he couldn't go.
After making the arrangements, Cold Sir finally asked curiously, "What brings you to Bei Yuan? And about that super-rank skill in the breeding competition, what was that all about?"
As Su Anyong asked, Su Ping leaned in to listen.
Ever since the last incident, Su Anyong hadn't asked about it.
But the Sun Heart on Old Sha's body, if he wasn't curious about that, he was just talking nonsense.
This time, Su Ping clearly couldn't joke around. He replied, "I'm here for the breeding business and Qing Shu's evolution. As for the super-rank skill Sun Heart, it's purely the Thousand Wood Wolf's innate talent and the result of Grandpa's breeding with the Wolf Wood Heart. It was just a stroke of luck and coincidence for me."
Upon hearing this, Su Anyong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew it. Where did you, a little rascal, get such an incredible breeding talent?"
Cold Sir, beside him, nodded, "So that's it. But luck is also a part of strength."
There was no denying that such results were quite impressive.
At his age, to breed a new evolved form was already remarkable, and to then create a super-rank skill on top of that was enough to remind people of the legendary Holy Dragon Lord.
It was from such circumstances that he rose, breeding a super-rank skill and embarking on a legendary path.
It was natural for a son to bring pride to his elders, but if he was too successful, it could also bring some pressure.
Looking at Su Anyong and Cold Sir, Su Ping's eyes lit up. "What do you mean by luck? It's just an ordinary super-rank skill, isn't it? Isn't it just a piece of cake?"
Hearing this, Su Anyong glared at him, "You little rascal, getting a little result and you're getting arrogant? Just a piece of cake? If you're so capable, breed another one! How did I teach you to be so arrogant?"
Su Ping didn't remember when this old ghost taught him to be humble. He ignored this old thing; there was no oil left to squeeze out of him.
The only Ultra Shadow, and he was looking at it like it was something special.
His main target was clearly Cold Sir.
So, Su Ping scoffed, "What if I breed another super-rank skill? Would you give me your Ultra Shadow? And Cold Sir, what if I can continue to breed another super-rank skill?"
Why was this little rascal always thinking about his precious Ultra Shadow? Although this time, Su Anyong did have an idea about the difficulty of super-rank skills. He had just completed the breeding of the Sun Heart earlier this year, and it hadn't been long.
But Su Anyong's understanding of his son made him wonder if he was being played by him.
However, Cold Sir, beside him, chuckled, "If you can do it again, not to mention the long-term future, but within this year, whatever conditions you want, I'll agree to them! How's that?"
Su Ping's eyes lit up, "You have my word."
Hearing Su Ping's words, Su Anyong's eyelids twitched, and he looked at his son suspiciously.
This scene felt familiar, like something he had experienced before. It was similar to the last time he returned home and was in the car.
"Su Anyong, what about you? Are you betting your Ultra Shadow?"
Su Anyong cleared his throat and said directly, "What's one Ultra Shadow? Can I still call you dad later? But if you can't do it, are you just bragging?"
Su Ping glared at this old thing. As expected, this old man was the one who wouldn't let it go.
"Can I call you dad too?"
Amidst the bickering between father and son, the vehicle slowly came to a stop in front of the Rong family's door, a place Su Ping had never been to before.
Strictly speaking, this was his maternal grandfather's home.
