Chapter 374: Su Ping's Exclusive Fighter Jet!
Chapter 374: Su Ping's Exclusive Fighter Jet!
"It's me."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Su Ping frowned slightly.
His phone number had been changed, and it was rare for strangers to call him.
And the voice on the other end was indeed unfamiliar.
"Greetings, Master Su Ping. I am Long Er, a member of the Dragon Unit, a sixth-tier Beastmaster, and I have received orders from the upper echelons of the Dragon Nation to personally ensure your safety."
"At the same time, I will be driving your exclusive vehicle. Please let me know if you have any instructions. May I ask where you are currently located in Linzhou? Tomorrow morning, I will arrive in Linzhou and report to you."
The deep voice had an indescribable magnetic charm, but it made Su Ping pleasantly surprised:
"Oh? Yes, I'm still in Linzhou. You can just park at the top of the Beastmaster Association headquarters in Linzhou tomorrow morning. I'll be holding a press conference there!"
"Alright, then I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye."
The call ended, leaving Su Ping slightly disappointed.
This person seemed to be quite decisive and efficient.
But the call ended so quickly?
He still wanted to ask about the vehicle.
Would it be as fast as Lord Leng's Sky Splitter or as comfortable as the Soaring Cloud?
What type of vehicle was it?
This person didn't even mention it before hanging up!
However... the Dragon Unit?
Su Ping's current status placed him among the upper echelons of the Dragon Nation, and he had some understanding of the nation's upper-level affairs.
Especially after encountering the Sky Tomb Special Forces, he became extremely interested in some of the special Beastmaster units within the Beastmaster Legion.
However, the majority of the special Beastmaster units were beyond even Su Ping's knowledge.
Therefore, Lord Leng had once mentioned to him the most mysterious special Beastmaster unit in the Dragon Nation, one that was rumored by many to be the strongest and most divine—the Dragon Unit.
The Dragon Unit was indeed the most elite among the special Beastmaster units, and they were also ranked by grade.
Looking at Long Er, a member of the Dragon Unit, Su Ping felt a sense of pride.
Even his father couldn't compare!
Moreover, the most crucial aspect, as Lord Leng had mentioned, was that to enter the Dragon Unit, the mandatory requirement for a Companion Beast was to have a dragon among their tamed beasts.
Now, a member of the Dragon Unit, a sixth-tier Dragon Beastmaster, had become his personal bodyguard!
Such an honor was likely not held by many within the entire Dragon Nation.
Although Su Ping didn't care much about status, this undoubtedly represented the attitude of the upper echelons.
Su Ping calmed his emotions and soon looked ahead.
At this moment, he was not in the center of Linzhou.
After chatting with Old Qin yesterday, he returned to the Wanling Heart.
His achievements in the provincial exam were self-evident.
After returning to the Wanling Heart yesterday, Li Shu Baicang couldn't stop talking about it. Even Old Liu, who usually paid no attention to outside matters, came out to congratulate Su Ping.
Su Ping had a busy night and woke up early the next day.
At this moment, he was located at the third corner of the triangle formed by the Water Heart and the Forest Heart.
Indeed, this place had a special magnetic field.
Previously, Guan Qianshan had mentioned that after the exploration team's inspection and testing, they found that beneath this area, there was a Sovereign-rank resource, 'Yuan Magnetic Quake Gold,' and its vein was located here.
However, it couldn't be fully confirmed yet.
After that, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to this place.
He had too many things to handle.
Moreover, a mere Sovereign-rank resource vein wasn't that valuable to him.
The reason he came here was that a giant was lying in the large pit they had dug earlier, and it seemed extremely excited.
It was none other than the 200-point mobile Exam Mystic Realm he had brought back from the provincial exam secret realm.
The giant stone spirit, Tai Shan.
This creature had been well-behaved lately.
After witnessing Qian Yi's dominance in the secret realm, slaughtering Monarch-rank ferocious beasts as if they were mere pigs and sheep, this intelligent earth-attributed elemental Companion Beast followed Su Ping's commands without hesitation.
Upon returning to the Wanling Heart, Su Ping naturally decided to send Tai Shan to the Earth Heart, which was still under construction, but the land had been encircled.
After all, this creature was a perfect fit.
When Su Ping had free time, he would research and promote the number of lit-up beast records in the Wanling Records.
After returning to the Wanling Heart, this giant creature came here.
It seemed to like this place and wanted to stay.
Indeed, earth-attributed Companion Beasts had an extremely sensitive connection with the land.
Su Ping gave the giant stone spirit, Tai Shan, a strange look as it lay in the huge pit. According to his speculation, fifty meters below this land, or at most a hundred meters, was the vein of the Yuan Magnetic Quake Gold, a Sovereign-rank resource.
The land here was naturally highly concentrated with energy, capable of birthing Sovereign-rank resources.
It was indeed a suitable habitat for this giant creature.
"Tai Shan, where were you before? Where did the Beastmaster Association capture you? And who gave you the name Tai Shan?"
Su Ping asked the giant stone spirit, puzzled by its name.
In the wild, untamed beasts generally possess limited intelligence.
This giant was an exception.
It was for this reason, and due to the rarity of earth-attributed elemental companion beasts, that Su Ping captured it.
Tai Shan scratched his head, his granite-like skull rumbling, "Hmm... Tai Shan doesn't know, it's in the mountains! But I was born in a very high place, on top of a very tall mountain!
However, after evolving, I appeared in the mountains... The mother of the mountains nurtured me. As for my name, I chose it myself. I heard that the tallest and grandest mountain is called Tai Shan..."
Su Ping's eyebrows lifted slightly.
The name Tai Shan wasn't unusual; the reason was simple—there was also a Tai Shan on Blue Star in the Dragon Nation.
Moreover, it held a significant position on Blue Star.
If a human beastmaster's companion beast, an earth-attributed elemental beast, had this name, it would be normal.
So, there wasn't any particular secret behind Tai Shan's origin? But that made sense; while resources were crucial for skill and growth, innate talent also played a significant role in a companion beast's development.
Therefore, this giant rock spirit's rapid progress must be due to its exceptional talent and high innate intelligence?
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he scrutinized the creature.
Feeling a bit uneasy under Su Ping's gaze, the giant rock spirit quickly lowered its head. After a moment of thought, it added, "Hmm... Tai Shan remembers that I was born on a very high mountain! It was truly high, but after evolving, I found myself at the foot of the mountain.
Moreover, Tai Shan's evolution didn't feel like anything special; it just happened naturally..."
Su Ping didn't doubt that the giant rock spirit was lying to him.
However, he couldn't quite understand what it was trying to say.
The creature had been captured in the wild, and even with its relatively high intelligence, it was unlikely to recognize human geographical names. Its reference to the mountains was already quite clear.
Su Ping decided to inquire with Old Qin.
He acted promptly.
Su Ping wasn't one to procrastinate.
He made a phone call, and Old Qin's voice came through.
Su Ping quickly explained his question.
"Where was that giant rock spirit captured? Hold on, let me ask."
Within two minutes, Old Qin's phone rang again.
This person's efficiency was indeed impeccable.
"Su Ping, I found out. That giant rock spirit was captured in the Stone Mountains bordering Jianghai Province and Huaiyang Province.
It's not far, is it?"
Su Ping blinked, but it made sense that such a beast could only be obtained through purchase or capture.
Since it was captured in the wild, it was easier to understand.
"Old Qin, can you send me the exact location where it was found?"
"Hehe, no problem. You're right, that giant rock spirit has good potential. If it weren't for the urgent need for wild beasts in the Provincial Exam Mystic Realm, it wouldn't have been placed there.
But since you tamed it, it's yours. However, Su Ping, I must remind you—this beast is truly wild! If its ferocity erupts, and it harms someone under your care, that could be problematic. You should prepare some safety measures!"
Su Ping glanced at Tai Shan, who was lying obediently in the pit, seemingly as docile as could be.
After a moment of thought, Su Ping considered the surrounding environment. The ancient life tree in the adjacent room, and the towering fir tree that overlooked the entire Wan Ling Zhi Xin, would be the first to sense any disturbances.
Su Ping nodded, "Don't worry."
The call ended.
Old Qin sent the location, and Su Ping confirmed that it was indeed in a remote, mountainous region.
Trains and tunnel roads passing through this area were the only signs of civilization.
The distance from Su Ping's current location was significant.
This realization dampened Su Ping's curiosity about visiting the site.
After all, inspecting such a remote area would require a considerable amount of time.
This reminded Su Ping of his days searching for the Green Fairy Spring Ginseng in the Northern Plains.
Clearly, the importance of Tai Shan couldn't compare to that of the Green Fairy Spring Ginseng; they were not even on the same level.
There was no rush; he could visit later.
After settling everything, Su Ping instructed the giant rock spirit to stay put and seek the surrounding green vines if needed.
Then, Su Ping returned to the Wan Ling Zhi Xin.
He didn't conduct any further research.
Instead, he immersed himself in the Shui Xin once more, observing the Rainbow Glass Butterfly.
Seven days after the Provincial Exam, on the seventh day of the seventh month, they would depart for the Imperial Capital.
They couldn't wait until the start of the exam to leave; Su Ping, in particular, was eager to go.
He had already prepared and was ready to leave the next day after the Origami Figure was announced.
Now, he needed to relax and prepare for the journey to the Imperial Capital.
After leaving the Shui Xin, Su Ping went to the Feng Xin to check on the little crow, Ya Ya, who had been training the birds and had become the king of the Feng Xin.
The crow, according to the Beastmaster Association's research, is said to have the highest innate racial intelligence among avian beasts of the same level.
Indeed, this is evident as I look upon it now.
After giving a few brief instructions, Su Ping finally left.
He then called Qin Xiaoxue, and upon hearing that Su Ping would be departing for the Imperial Capital the next day, Qin Xiaoxue insisted on accompanying him.
After that, the two agreed to meet up in Magic City before traveling together to the Imperial Capital by plane.
However, Su Ping didn't rush to inform Qin Xiaoxue about his plans, as he wanted to surprise her with his exclusive vehicle that was about to arrive.
Before going to bed, Su Ping took out his phone and called Su An Yong.
The old man didn't answer the call. Su Ping even sent a message, but there was no response, leaving him feeling a bit disappointed after trying to impress the old man.
During the Province Exam, the old man hadn't called or messaged to check in either.
Just before the exam, he had sent a message, but Su Ping didn't know what he was busy with, wondering if the old man had guessed his intentions and cleverly avoided him. However, the Special Beast Taming Unit was indeed swamped with work.
Su Ping didn't bother to think too much about it.
The night passed quickly, and by 6 am, Su Ping was feeling refreshed and ready. He got into his car and drove to the city center of Linzhou.
He arrived at the headquarters of the Beastmaster Association once again, but this time, he wasn't alone.
Ray Saint yawned.
He glanced at the rabbit beside him with displeasure, "I really don't know how you manage to wake up so early. What's the deal? Is your bed hot in the morning or something?"
Ignoring Ray Saint's complaints, Su Ping exclaimed with radiant spirit, "You'll see soon enough."
Although Ray Saint was complaining, the fact was that even if Su Ping hadn't said anything, he would have come anyway. He was well aware of the significance of this day and what it represented.
Regardless, he wanted to stay by Su Ping's side to ensure nothing unexpected happened.
Qin Erlong had already known about Su Ping's arrival.
After learning that Su Ping and Ray Saint had come straight from waking up, the three of them had breakfast together in the Beastmaster Association's cafeteria.
Compared to the initial interactions between Cold Sir and Ray Saint, Qin Erlong didn't show the same level of deference. Aside from the necessary respect for a Ray Saint, the conversation between the two seemed to place them on equal footing.
Qin Erlong was puzzled by Su Ping's excitement:
"Su Ping, what are you doing here so early in the morning? Isn't the announcement not until noon? Even if you wanted to come and prepare, you didn't have to come right at dawn, did you?"
"Hehe, you'll see soon enough."
After taking a sip of soybean milk, Su Ping's phone suddenly rang with a notification. He picked it up and his eyes lit up:
"It's here, it's here! You two want to come and take a look with me?"
Old Qin and Ray Saint exchanged glances, curious about what this young man was up to. They nodded and followed Su Ping out of the cafeteria.
They headed to the rooftop of the Beastmaster Association's building.
Upon reaching the rooftop, Su Ping muttered:
"Speaking of which, it's a bit embarrassing. Although our family's home is quite big, we've always lacked consideration in building temporary helipads. So, I had it delivered here to the Association first, hehe."
Looking at this little rascal's expression, there was no trace of embarrassment.
Qin Erlong was suspicious, but Ray Saint's eyebrows rose, as if he had figured something out.
He looked at Su Ping with disbelief.
Before the two of them could speak, a dragon's roar echoed through the entire building.
High in the clouds, the source of the dragon's roar revealed a figure slowly descending towards the rooftop.
It was a fighter jet.
Qin Erlong stared in disbelief.
He had seen his wife's Tengyun Number before.
Its distinctive blue and white paint job was quite memorable.
This jet, however, seemed similar to the Tengyun Number.
The medium-sized jet's body was already impressive, but what truly stood out was the fully awakened mechanical core and the structure it had built, proving the grade of this aerial fortress.
The value of this machine was unimaginable.
In Dragon Kingdom, its symbolic status was even more so.
Compared to the Tengyun Number's simplicity and elegance, this jet was painted in black with gold accents.
The gold paint job resembled dragon scales, and from below, the jet's open wings looked like a giant golden dragon soaring in the sky.
Coupled with the crisp dragon's roar from earlier, it was clear that this jet was not just for show.
As they watched, the jet hovered slightly before slowly descending.
It came to a stop right in front of the three of them.
The jet's cockpit opened, and a robust figure leaped out, landing gracefully in front of them. She glanced at Ray Saint but approached Su Ping first, bowing respectfully:
"Breeder Su, I present to you the Proud Dragon Number and its pilot, Dragon Two!"
