Chapter 371: The Provincial Examination Concludes Early! The Boiling Speculation!
Chapter 371: The Provincial Examination Concludes Early! The Boiling Speculation!
Lu Xingming let out a long sigh.
A faint smile then appeared on his lips.
The 29th in the Huaiyang Province Provincial Examination.
Although this was just the result after two days, there were still many freaks within the Huaiyang Province Secret Realm who had yet to reveal themselves.
However, Lu Xingming estimated that his final ranking wouldn't be outside the top fifty, after all, the resources in the Secret Realm were limited.
For seeded contestants, not making it into the top ten in the Provincial Examination would be quite a blow. But for Lu Xingming, this was already more than enough.
Indeed, Lu Xingming never even considered going to the Imperial Capital to participate in the final trial. To achieve his current ranking, he had already used a lot of careful planning and external resources.
As for those who could make it into the top ten? They must be some kind of freaks!
After all, being an idol wasn't easy. First and foremost, one must be good-looking, and their companion beast should either be mighty or adorable. The Necromantic Domain, though powerful, couldn't be casually contracted due to its eerie nature.
Of course, styles varied, but regardless, strength was still an essential criterion for idols, especially for those who prided themselves on their abilities.
However, popularity was the most crucial factor.
So, Lu Xingming was quite confident.
His appearance, abilities, and the strength he displayed, coupled with his company's promotion, should ensure he secure the top spot on the popularity chart.
However, he scrolled down to see the video beneath the video, he saw the discussion and comments, and finally, he fell silent, convinced.
And the final thought: Was this person even human?
Lu Xingming's thoughts echoed those of almost everyone else.
All the viewers who witnessed the scene and those who later watched the video, which spread like a virus, shared the same thought.
Was this companion beast and its beastmaster even human?
Or even ordinary humans, for that matter.
Imperial Capital.
The special tower that existed both in reality and within the secret realm.
Although not at the top floor, those who appeared here were clearly not ordinary.
Zhu Hong, Lord Leng, and Master Yin were among those present, recognizable to Su Ping.
"This little rascal did well! The potential of the Origami Man should be made public!" Zhu Hong said with a smile.
As for Lord Leng, he didn't express any concern. With his understanding of Su Ping, he knew that the boy was quite adept at showing off.
This time, he had indeed done well.
Indeed, the Origami Man and his Heavenspan Quintessence Body were indeed worthy of Su Ping's attention!
Master Yin, standing nearby, had a slight concern:
"Ghost Saint, revealing the secrets of the Origami Man so early, will it affect...?"
Lord Leng shook his head:
"The Origami Man is just an Origami Man, and that's that! This kid is my appointed breeder, if he only brings out these ordinary Origami Men as my riding beasts, then you're underestimating this stinky kid.
Not to mention, that Heavenspan Quintessence Body will definitely be there eventually. Master Yin, the power lies not just in the Origami Men, but in this skill, which is the real core!"
"That's right," Zhu Hong also smiled and said, "The power of the Heavenspan Quintessence Body is the core of the Origami Man's current performance. The Origami Man does have a future, but it will take some time to develop it."
He was one of the developers of the Heavenspan Quintessence Body, so he was certainly qualified to make such a statement.
Master Yin nodded, now looking forward to meeting Su Ping again after some time.
There were many people present, but those who could be here were indeed the core of the core. An old man with white hair and beard smiled and spoke:
"Little Zhu, Su Ping has the Dragon Emblem, but he hasn't entered Dragon City yet, right?"
"Yes, this time when he comes to the Imperial Capital, Su Ping should be going to Dragon City."
Zhu Hong held great respect for this white-haired and bearded old man, even though he himself was not young. He still treated this elder with the manners of a junior.
The reason was simple: this elder was not only higher in seniority and experience but also in status. In the entire Dragon Nation, there were only a few who outranked him.
This was the president of the Breeder Association.
However, the words of President Feng undoubtedly changed the atmosphere slightly.
Lord Leng coughed lightly first:
"There's no need to mention Su Ping's connection with us. His achievements in the Necrotic Domain are also well-known. I can promise on behalf of the Ghost Dragon King that if Su Ping chooses to stay in the Bone Burial Ground, the rarest Phantom Dragon and Shadow Dragon can be granted as Dragon Breeds. All the heritage and knowledge can be freely observed."
Upon hearing this, Yin Luo, standing nearby, chuckled:
"I believe the Ghost Saint's words, and the Ghost Dragon King won't refuse."
The few people present glanced at these two old fellows. Even though the Ghost Saint was not the oldest among them, he was still considered part of the younger generation.
"I heard from Meng Yao that this little guy, Su Ping, seems to be quite interested in the Four Seas Dragon Palace?"
A figure smiled and said.
"Now that the Eastern Sea disaster and the revival of the Water Sovereign are complete, what is Meng Yao still doing with Su Ping?"
Someone was displeased.
"The Sea Dragon King has made a good calculation..."
Finally, the white-bearded old man also coughed lightly:
"Alright, let's wait until Su Ping arrives to discuss this matter. Dragon City is the Dragon City of the Dragon Nation, and healthy competition for Dragon Soul shares is good, but we shouldn't resort to underhanded means."
President Feng's words held significant weight, and even Lord Leng didn't insist further.
The uniqueness of Dragon City and the Dragon Beasts led to competition among various heritage sites, but this internal competition wouldn't escalate to violence among the higher-ups.
However, the various heritage sites within Dragon City would certainly not give up easily.
At this moment, a figure upstairs was watching the open and hidden struggles downstairs with a clear view.
A legendary existence in the Dragon Nation smiled as he observed the competition below, then turned his attention to the figure upstairs.
The figure hidden within the vortex, with an indiscernible body and face, spoke in a peculiar voice:
"Not bad! He has great potential, reminiscent of your younger self."
This voice seemed very familiar with the Legendary Holy Dragon.
The latter, in turn, was also very polite to the figure:
"Hehe, that's quite a high evaluation."
"Tsk, you're still as thick-skinned as ever."
Their conversation was simple, like old friends.
However, the figure hidden in the illusion didn't stay for long, quickly disappearing without a trace, but not before leaving behind a final sentence:
"Keep this kid for me. Don't let those brats snatch him away."
(End)
After arriving in the Imperial Capital, the boy will inform me. His talent is too good to be wasted on nurturing those low-level dragon breeds."
The man couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated at the same time.
The heritage site and such matters did require attention, but not to the extent of being overly concerned.
At least, that's what he thought.
However...
The man glanced at the video playing beside him and smiled slightly. 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 appearance.
It was rare to use such adjectives to describe a woman, especially one who seemed to be in the prime of her youth.
But, in fact, it was true.
She appeared to be around thirty years old, with short hair, and her narrow eyes showed no emotional fluctuations. She was so cold that she didn't seem like a human with emotions.
"Long Er, I've met with Legend."
The deep, hoarse voice was surprisingly harmonious with her appearance.
The man nodded:
"How's the previous matter going?"
"Reporting to the leader, it's been thoroughly perfected, and I'm ready at any time!"
The woman bowed.
The Saint Dragon Legend nodded in satisfaction:
"I trust the Dragon Group's origins. The day after tomorrow, head to Jianghai!"
"Yes!"
The woman answered without hesitation, her tone resolute.
It was clear that Legend was in a good mood today. After glancing at the woman, he continued to ask:
"As one of the Dragon Group's captains, do you feel slighted by having to closely follow a young boy?"
"Reporting to the leader, I don't feel slighted at all!"
The man smiled:
"Go and make preparations."
The figure disappeared.
In the top-floor office of the tallest building, only the man's figure remained.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he turned his gaze to another video,
This video was not the one Su Ping had just summoned Qian Yi, fighting a thousand enemies with one.
Instead, it was from the very beginning, when the Eastern Sea disaster occurred in Jianghai, and Su Ping summoned Xiao Qing, Qian Yi, and Lao Sha to battle.
His gaze was fixed on not the recently empowered Lao Sha, nor Qian Yi, who had just perfected the Heavenspan Quintessence Body.
Instead, it was on the seemingly bizarre and peculiar Xiao Qing, who had just finished her transformation and didn't stand out much.
His lips curled up, and he uttered two words with profound meaning:
"Interesting..."
At this moment, Su Ping, who was the center of attention, pressed the button on his wristband in front of everyone's watchful eyes.
He voluntarily exited the Provincial Secret Realm.
In total, it took thirty-seven hours.
It was barely a day and a half.
After eliminating all who dared to challenge him on Dream Island and killing the remaining ferocious beast groups on the island, Su Ping had no reason to stay. There were still some scattered resources and ferocious beasts on Dream Island, but those credits held no significance for him.
At this moment, his ranking credits stood at a staggering first place!
[Top 1: Trainee No. 0001, Su Ping, Current Credits: 18,003!]
Indeed, compared to Yan Fan, who was currently in second place with less than 1,500 credits, Su Ping's credits were over ten times more.
The majority of the credits came from the Beastmaster trainees.
With his own strength, he eliminated hundreds, nearly a thousand Beastmasters. Twenty credits for each, a figure that was not exaggerated.
At the same time, all the advanced ferocious beasts on Dream Island and the deeply hidden Dream Fogstone became Su Ping's possessions.
Thus, this provincial examination, which was watched by all 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 outside world would react.
So, as he walked out of the secret realm, facing the gazes of countless people who had been waiting, Su Ping didn't pay them any mind. The journalists wanted to approach, but without permission, they didn't even dare to ask questions.
However, Su Ping had already prepared. He smiled slightly and looked at the famous host Yang Zhuqing from the provincial television station, who had interviewed him earlier. Facing the cameras, he waved his hand and said:
"Regarding the Origami Man and my Origami Man, I will hold a press conference at noon the day after tomorrow to explain the situation. Welcome to come and join us then."
After speaking, Su Ping paid no heed to the instantly boiling crowd or the blinding flashlights. His figure moved, and he disappeared into the crowd, heading towards the Beastmaster Association building behind him.
