Chapter 371: The Provincial Exam Ends Early! The Boiling Speculations!
Chapter 371: The Provincial Exam Ends Early! The Boiling Speculations!
Lu Xingming let out a long sigh of relief.
A smile then appeared on his lips.
Twenty-ninth in the Huaiyang Province Provincial Exam.
Although this was only the result after two days, there were still many freaks yet to emerge in the Huaiyang Province Mystic Realm.
However, Lu Xingming estimated that his final ranking wouldn't fall outside the top fifty, as the resources in the Mystic Realm were limited.
For a seeded contestant, failing to rank within the top ten might be hard to accept, but for Lu Xingming, this was already more than enough.
He could now give his fans a satisfactory answer.
Indeed, Lu Xingming had never intended to go to the Imperial Capital to participate in the final trial. To achieve this current ranking, he had already used many tricks and external factors.
As for entering the top ten in the end? Who would be that freak?
After all, being an idol wasn't easy. First and foremost, the most important thing was to be handsome. Secondly, the companion beast should be either majestic or cute. The powerful but eerie necromantic companion beasts couldn't be casually contracted.
Of course, styles varied, but no matter what, strength was still an important standard for an idol, especially for those who claimed to be powerhouses.
However, popularity was the most crucial factor.
Thus, Lu Xingming was quite confident.
His appearance, abilities, and the strength he displayed, along with the company's publicity, should be enough to top the popularity charts this time, right?
After finishing all his tasks, Lu Xingming eagerly took out his phone and checked the internet. However, the top search results that reflected the hottest trends didn't show his name at first glance.

...
Lu Xingming was a bit lost and incredulous as he looked at the search results. What were all these about?
Su Ping? Was he some new rising star recently promoted by a famous entertainment company? But his own entertainment company was also influential in the Dragon Nation, and even if other companies were promoting him, it was unlikely that they could surpass his popularity.
Finally, in Lu Xingming's observation, he found his name at the bottom of the top ten search results.
However, compared to the few search results above with the word 'hot' in bold red, his name and ranking seemed rather insignificant.
In fact, there were hardly any genuine discussions, and this dry search result was purely a result of paid promotion.
What the hell was this?
Lu Xingming was both confused and curious as he clicked on the top search result, and then he saw the face that appeared before him.
He nodded; as a new idol, although he was a bit young, his looks were indeed excellent.
It seemed he met the conditions to be an idol.
However, after Lu Xingming clicked on the live video of this 'traffic idol' named Su Ping, he was stunned by the most discussed video.
Are the requirements for the Jianghai Province Exam so low?
Why do these beastmasters all look like idiots, just standing there and getting beaten by that strange companion beast?
However, after reading the comments and bullet chats, Lu Xingming quickly scanned through them again, and finally, he fell silent, completely convinced.
And his final thought: Is this guy even human?
Lu Xingming's thoughts represented the thoughts of almost everyone.
Everyone who witnessed this live broadcast and those who later watched the video, which spread like a virus, had the same thought.
Was the companion beast and the beastmaster who raised it even human?
Or even beyond that.
Imperial Capital.
The special tower still stood in the real world and the mystic realm.
Although it wasn't the highest floor, those who could appear here were clearly no ordinary people.
Several figures were either sitting or holding crystal cups and standing aside, and the image that appeared was Su Ping's vibrant smile and the figure of a thousand swords flying in the air.
If Su Ping was here, he would recognize a few familiar faces among them, like Zhu Hong, Cold Sir, and Master Yin.
"This kid did well! The potential of the Origami Figure should be made known to the public!"
Zhu Hong smiled slightly.
As for Cold Sir beside him, he didn't express any concern. Although he hadn't interacted with Su Ping much, he knew this kid was quite skilled at showing off.
This time, he did a good job.
Indeed, the Origami Figure and the Heavenly Quintessence Body do give Su Ping the capital to act so arrogantly!
Master Yin, who was standing beside him, had a slight worry.
"Ghost Saint, the secret of the Origami Figure, being revealed so early, will it affect..."
Lord Leng shook his head.
"The Origami Figure is just an Origami Figure. That kid, as my appointed Master, if he only presents these ordinary Origami Figures to me as his tamed Companion Beasts, then you're underestimating this stinky kid."
Without saying more, when the time comes, this Heavenly Quintessence Body will still be there. Master Yin, it's not just the Origami Figure that's powerful. This skill is the real core!"
"That's right. The strength of the Heavenly Quintessence Body is the core display of the Origami Figure at present. The Origami Figure does have a future, but it needs time to develop and grow." Zhu Hong also smiled and said.
He was one of the developers of the Heavenly Quintessence Body, so he was qualified to speak on the matter.
Master Yin nodded, looking forward to meeting Su Ping again after some time.
There were many people present, but those who could appear here were indeed the core of the core. An elderly man with white hair and beard smiled and spoke:
"Zhu Hong, this Su Ping has the Dragon Emblem, but he hasn't entered Dragon City yet, right?"
"Yes, Elder Feng, but this time, when he comes to the Imperial Capital, Su Ping should be able to enter Dragon City."
Zhu Hong held great respect for this white-haired elder, even though he himself was not young. However, he still treated the elder with the courtesy of a junior.
The reason was simple. Not only was this elder higher in seniority and experience, but he was also higher in status.
In fact, in the entire Dragon Nation, there were very few people with a higher status than this elder.
This was the Master Association's Chairman.
However, the words of Chairman Feng caused a slight change in the atmosphere among those present.
Lord Leng coughed lightly first:
"There's no need to mention my relationship with Xiao Ping. His achievements in the Necromantic field are also well-known. In the Bone Grave, there hasn't been a young and promising Beastmaster. I can speak for Ghost Dragon King. If Xiao Ping chooses the Bone Grave, the rarest Phantom Dragon and Shadow Dragon in the Bone Grave can be granted as Dragon Seeds. All the inheritances can also be freely observed."
Upon hearing this, Yin Luo beside him chuckled:
"I believe in Ghost Saint's words. Ghost Dragon King will not refuse either."
The few people present glanced at these two old men. In this gathering, Ghost Saint was by no means old, and he was even considered part of the younger generation.
"I heard from Meng Yao that this kid, Su Ping, seems to be quite interested in the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"
A figure smiled and said.
"Since the Eastern Sea's water disaster and the revival of the Water Sovereign have been resolved, what is Meng Yao still doing with Su Ping?"
Someone was displeased.
"The Sea Dragon King has made a good plan..."
Finally, the white-bearded elder coughed lightly:
"Alright, let's discuss this matter after Su Ping arrives! Dragon City is Dragon Nation's Dragon City. The competition for Dragon Soul quotas is good, but don't resort to any underhanded means. Let nature take its course."
Obviously, among those present, Elder Feng's status was also very special and extraordinary. Even Lord Leng didn't say anything after he spoke.
The special nature of Dragon City and Dragon Companion Beasts led to inevitable competition among the various inheritance sites.
However, Dragon City was the biggest foundation of the Dragon Nation, so it was natural that they wouldn't fight to the point of spilling brain matter here.
But it was clear from the glances exchanged among the various figures that after Su Ping, this delicious cake, arrived in Dragon City, the various inheritance sites in Dragon City would definitely not give up easily.
At this moment, the scene on the lower floor was being watched by a figure above, a legendary existence of the Dragon Nation. He smiled as he watched the open and hidden struggles below, then turned his gaze to another figure in the tower:
"What do you think of this kid?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liushuba~~
A figure hidden in the vortex, its form and face obscured, spoke with a strange voice:
"Not bad! He has potential, and he has your shadow from the past."
This voice was obviously very familiar with the Legendary Holy Dragon before him.
The latter was also very polite to this figure:
"Hehe, that's quite a high evaluation."
"Tsk, you're still as thick-skinned as before."
Their conversation was simple, like old friends.
However, the figure hidden in the illusion didn't stay for long. Before disappearing, he left a final message:
"Keep this kid for me. Don't let those little brats get him.
The young man who came to the Imperial Capital had informed him. That boy's talent was wasted on nurturing those low-level dragon breeds."
The man couldn't help but feel a mix of laughter and tears.
While the Land of Inheritance was indeed something to be mindful of, it didn't warrant excessive concern.
At least, that's what he thought.
However...
The man glanced at the video playing beside him and smiled faintly. Then, he took out his special phone and dialed a number.
Ten minutes later, a figure appeared behind him.
It was a woman with a stern and resolute demeanor.
It was rare to describe a woman, especially one in her prime, with such adjectives.
But, in fact, that was the case.
She was around thirty years old, with short hair, and her narrow eyes showed no emotional fluctuations, making her seem cold and unfeeling.
"Dragon Two, I've met with Legend," she said in a low, hoarse voice that surprisingly matched her appearance.
The man nodded.
"How's the previous matter going?"
"Reporting to the Chief, it's been thoroughly perfected, and I'm ready for action at any time!" the woman replied.
The Saint Dragon Legend nodded in satisfaction.
"Being from the Dragon Team, I trust you. Head to Jianghai the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
The woman answered without hesitation.
It was clear that Legend was in a good mood today. He glanced at the woman and continued, "As one of the captains of the Dragon Team, do you feel slighted for being assigned to follow a young fellow like him?"
"Reporting to the Chief, I don't feel slighted!"
The man smiled.
"Go and prepare."
The figure disappeared.
In the top-floor penthouse office, only the man's figure remained.
He narrowed his eyes and turned his attention to another video.
This video wasn't the one where Su Ping had just summoned Qian Yi and fought against a thousand others.
Instead, it was from the very beginning, when Su Ping summoned Xiao Qing and Qian Yi to battle the East China Sea's calamity, Laosha.
His gaze was fixed not on Laosha, who had just displayed the power of the Sun Heart, nor on Qian Yi, who had perfected the Heavenly Quintessence Body.
Instead, it was on Xiao Qing, who, despite appearing bizarre and odd, was actually rather unremarkable, having just completed her evolution.
He raised his eyebrows and spoke with profound meaning, "Interesting..."
At that moment, Su Ping, who had attracted much attention, pressed the button on his wristband under everyone's watchful eyes.
He voluntarily withdrew from the Provincial Exam Mystic Realm.
In total, he spent thirty-seven hours.
It was barely a day and a half.
After eliminating all the beastmasters who dared to challenge him on Dream Island and killing the remaining beast groups, Su Ping saw no need to stay any longer.
There were still some scattered resources and beasts on Dream Island, but those exam credits held no significance for him.
At this moment, his ranking stood at the top with a score that could only be described as outrageous.
[Top 1: Student Su Ping, Current Credits: 18003!]
Indeed, compared to the second-place Yan Fan, who had only accumulated around 1500 points, Su Ping's score was more than ten times higher.
The majority of these points came from the beastmaster students.
Each of them was worth twenty credits, and this number was not an exaggeration.
Additionally, all the advanced beasts on Dream Island, along with the deeply hidden Dream Mist Stone, had become Su Ping's possessions.
Thus, this provincial exam, which had captured the attention of everyone in Jianghai Province, was almost single-handedly brought to an early end by Su Ping!
Su Ping didn't need to guess to know how the public opinion outside would be boiling.
As he stepped out of the mystic realm, facing countless people who had prepared their questions, Su Ping paid no heed. The journalists wanted to approach, but without permission, they didn't even dare to ask.
However, Su Ping had already prepared. He smiled slightly and looked at the famous provincial TV host, Yang Zhuqing, who was facing the cameras and holding a microphone. He waved his hand and said,
"Regarding the origami figure and my origami figure, I will hold a press conference at noon tomorrow. You are all welcome to attend."
After speaking, Su Ping ignored the suddenly excited crowd and the blinding camera flashes. He moved and disappeared into the crowd, heading towards the Beastmaster Association building behind him.
