Chapter 375: Dragon Pride and the Dragon Catalog

Dragon Pride, is this the name of this massive machine?

Su Ping's gaze was fixed on the dark and dark golden cross, and under the sunlight on the rooftop, the fighter jet shone brightly.

He could feel that this thing was incredibly vivid, just like the Cloud Ascender he had ridden before.

However, the Cloud Ascender had given him a sense of ethereal and refreshing feeling.

This Dragon Pride, on the other hand, had an aura of dominance and sharpness throughout its body.

Obviously, he hadn't entered it yet, so he didn't know what the interior was like.

But this was undoubtedly a fighter jet worthy of its rank.

One could feel its formidable presence.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Long Two, who was standing before him.

Judging by his appearance, with his short, gender-neutral hair, firm facial features, and wheat-colored skin, it was hard to tell his gender at first glance.

He looked to be around thirty years old, but given the rank of a Beastmaster like him, his age should be slightly older than what his appearance suggested.

"Hello, Long... Er Senior, I never expected you to be this fast."

"Su Ping, you don't need to be polite. The Legend himself instructed me to come as soon as possible. Now, please enter the Dragon Pride and let it complete the master recognition program."

Long Two spoke expressionlessly.

From beginning to end, she maintained this expression, showing no signs of emotion on her face.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, "Master recognition program?"

This was the first time he had heard of this term.

The Ray Saint beside him explained, "In the upper-level mechanical vehicles like this, a master recognition program is written into the mechanical core. Although it doesn't have as many effects as a soul contract, it can still make these mechanical lives prioritize the commands of the master recognized by the program.

My Breaking Waves, Cold Saint, and the other Holy Spirit-ranked Beastmasters all went through this process. The only slight difference is that most of them have fighters like this, while the others have different types of vehicles."

However, after explaining, the Ray Saint turned his gaze towards the Dragon Pride, "This Dragon Pride, in addition to its mechanical core, is also the initial application of the research results from Dragon City."

Hmm?

This time, not only Su Ping but the other three were also surprised and looked at Long Two.

Obviously, even a Holy Spirit-ranked Beastmaster like the Ray Saint didn't have as much information as Long Two.

Moreover, the significance and status of Dragon City in the Dragon Kingdom need not be mentioned.

"Research results from Dragon City? Which heritage site's research results? What type of research results?"

The Ray Saint asked directly.

Long Two shook her head, but she didn't hide anything, "Reporting to the Ray Saint, I don't know which heritage site it is, but I do know some details. In the past twenty years, Dragon City has been researching the Mechanical Dragon Clan."

Upon hearing this, the Ray Saint nodded, his thumb in his mouth, and his black eyes rolling as if deep in thought.

He occasionally glanced at the Dragon Pride, clearly curious and intrigued.

The old Qin, standing beside them, seemed to understand. He wasn't really interested in this so-called Mechanical Dragon Clan.

But from the looks of it, this machine seemed even more special than the Cloud Ascender that Ah San had.

So, the old Qin, who was closer to Su Ping, didn't hesitate and spoke up, "Su Ping..."

Before he could finish, Su Ping smiled slightly, "If you two are curious, come on in. It just so happens that I don't know much about this type of mechanical beast, and with your vast knowledge and experience, you can give me some advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ray Saint eagerly nodded, "Let's go, let's go in and see what this is all about."

With the Ray Saint's urging, Su Ping took the lead and walked to the front of the Dragon Pride. Long Two quickly walked over.

It was impossible to ignore the Dragon Pride.

At the front of the machine, the cockpit was indeed like the head of a giant dragon.

Behind the two large eyes was the semi-transparent cockpit in dark golden color.

Below, the 'mouth' was covered in dark golden dragon scales, with two fangs protruding, resembling a voracious evil dragon.

On top of the head, two dark golden metallic spiral horns extended from the center at a slanted angle.

When the wings unfolded, they added a sense of intricacy with the dragon scales.

Long Two spoke from the side, "The Dragon Pride has three entrances. The one I just came out from is the most common location, the entrance to the passenger cabin and the rest area. In addition to that, there's this one."

Long Two patted the front of the Dragon Pride, and then, this dragon-like fighter jet actually opened its mouth wide in front of Su Ping.

Inside the mouth, besides the several dark, ominous-looking gun barrels and fangs, there was a completely sealed dark golden door.

The four of them entered, and the dark golden door opened, revealing a cockpit filled with countless screens and buttons.

As expected, the position of the dragon's eyes at the front of the machine was where one could stand and observe the outside from the cockpit.

"It doesn't seem too different from other mechanical fighters, does it?"

Hmm, the cockpit is even smaller."

Ray Saint looked up at the cabin, at the slightly cramped cockpit, and muttered.

Long Two paid him no heed.

Instead, he walked forward and touched a crystal ball at the very center of the cockpit.

A wave of energy burst forth from it.

It was as if something was awakening rapidly.

Then, a crisp dragon's roar sounded once more.

At the same time, the entire cockpit seemed to light up, and a voice continued to echo:

"Dragon Pride program master recognition initiated. After master recognition is complete, Dragon Pride will fully awaken and activate! Upon master recognition, the biological mimicry function can be activated, and the mechanical AI core awareness will revive.

Please enter the master control mode exclusive position!"

A series of mechanical prompts left Su Ping somewhat perplexed.

So, had the Dragon Pride not been fully activated yet?

After the voice, Long Two turned to Su Ping: "Breeder Su, please come to the central position."

The central position?

Su Ping looked at the very center of the cockpit, and there, at that moment, a mysterious arc appeared.

Su Ping was perplexed, but he slowly walked to the center.

"Ding... Master recognition initiated, confirming master identity..."

"Confirmation complete. Countdown, five seconds to enter the master's exclusive stance, 5, 4..."

Su Ping blinked, feeling a little dazed.

Long Two, on the other hand, remained calm and waited for the countdown to finish.

As the five seconds passed, the voice continued, "Enter the master's exclusive driving position."

At that moment, Su Ping felt his body slowly floating up.

The previously closed ceiling above him seemed to open like a skylight, instantly rising.

The next second, Su Ping looked at the scene before him in disbelief, then at his feet.

He was no longer in the cockpit.

Indeed, at that moment, Su Ping stood atop the 'Dragon's Head.'

The position was directly above the nose of the aircraft,

and beside him were the two massive dark golden metal dragon horns.

A special energy held him steady, and even though he was outside, an energy shield extended from the dragon horns, protecting him within.

Su Ping seemed to understand something and decisively reached out to grasp the two dragon horns.

At that moment, he felt an electric current running through his entire body.

As expected, a voice sounded again.

"Dragon Pride master recognition complete! Dragon Soul awakening in progress..."

During this process, in less than five minutes, a voice came from the Dragon Pride below:

"Master! Thank you for awakening me!"

A crisp voice sounded.

"No problem."

As Su Ping opened his mouth, at the same time, as this voice sounded, the deepest part of Su Ping's soul suddenly opened the Ten Thousand Spirits Record.

To Su Ping's surprise, this time, the record that appeared was not one but two.

One was familiar, and the other was unfamiliar.

The familiar one was the record that Golden Element Sprite had opened, and the other was one that Su Ping had never expected.

On the cover of this record, there was also a golden dragon, but compared to the divine dragon before, this dragon had two enormous scaly wings and four limbs.

It looked somewhat like a large lizard with wings, but its body was more slender and graceful, and it exuded a stronger sense of power.

[Special Record 'Dragon' unlocked, current record level: 1, obtain special origin reward: Immortal Dragon Soul!]



Almost immediately after the Ten Thousand Spirits Record's prompt appeared, Su Ping felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if his brain was on fire.

Although it disappeared in an instant, it still caused his eyebrows to furrow.

Su Ping quickly sensed the special talent reward that came with the unlocking of the Dragon Record.

He had initially thought that, like with the other records, the level of the talent 'Dragon's Might' would be increased.

However, it seemed to be somewhat different.

Nevertheless, when Su Ping saw this talent, he was momentarily speechless.

[Immortal Dragon Soul: Special Beastmaster Talent, with no other special effects. After death, resurrection can be completed within the Beastmaster's space.

(Note: After resurrection, the realm will be reduced to the lowest stage of the current major realm, and meditation for improvement will not be possible for a long time. Only one chance to use. After resurrection, this talent ability disappears. Death due to the exhaustion of lifespan cannot be resurrected.)]



This talent...

Su Ping pursed his lips, momentarily speechless.

Is there such a Beastmaster talent ability? Humans are truly incredible!

However, this ability is indeed very critical and important.

In fact, it could be said to be one of the most miraculous and useful talents Su Ping had ever seen.

Being able to resurrect once, even though there is no additional boost except for this resurrection, what could be more important than life itself?

This ability is like an extra layer of insurance.

Nevertheless, the price is also extremely heavy. A significant drop in realm, an extended inability to improve through meditation, all indicate that even with this talent, one must not take risks lightly.

With this in mind, Su Ping stood above the Dragon Pride and, within the Ten Thousand Spirits Record, began to observe the situation of the Dragon Record.

[Record: Dragon]



[Belonging to the dragon race and possessing formidable combat power, the dragon race has the most elite strength!

Race Skills: Dragon Soul (Advanced Skill), Dragon Breath... Other skills vary depending on the branch.]



[Current Record Level: 1 (30/100)]



Unlocked Branch Types:

[Mechanical Dragon: An incomplete mechanical body combined with the Dragon Soul, possessing mutated gold element sprites and the characteristics of the dragon race.]



[Record Log:

[The dragon race is a rare race, and the experience required to level up the record is significantly reduced. The experience value for the dragon race record and the universal experience value are both exchanged at a 1:1 ratio!]

In the world of mechanical dragons, a unique creature emerged, a dragon named 'Jiao Long Hao' (Proud Dragon). With 30 points of experience in dragon breeding and 50 points in gold elemental sprite breeding, this special dragon was an incomplete being, unable to fully utilize its dragon traits.

However, with each passing day, as Su Ping gained a deeper understanding of dragons and advanced his knowledge of golden elemental sprite pets, he worked to perfect the dragon's cultivation.

This dragon possessed the ability to activate two different breeding charts simultaneously.

Su Ping could only marvel at the peculiar creatures in the pet world, there were indeed many surprises.

But this thing was truly remarkable.

Su Ping stroked the mechanical dragon's horn, and his spirit eyes activated, allowing him to see through the dragon's eyes. The dragon didn't resist this intrusion, giving Su Ping a clear view.

Su Ping almost fell off 'Jiao Long' in surprise.

While the skills were easy to understand, the sheer number of them caught Su Ping off guard.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed at the lack of an advanced skill.

Of course, this was just a case of wanting more than what was available.

Su Ping patted the dragon's horn and smiled, "Let's get down."

He stepped off the dragon's head, returning to the cockpit from the so-called master control position.

"Honorable master, 'Jiao Long' is at your service!" The mechanical dragon was obedient and subservient.

The master recognition program was also impressive, though not as deep as a soul contract. The connection between the pet and the beastmaster's soul, even sharing realms, was remarkable.

After gaining recognition, Su Ping once again returned to the cockpit.

Qin Erlong, standing nearby, wanted to mention that flying over Linzhou was prohibited. Flying without permission would result in a fine.

But after some thought, Old Qin decided against saying anything.

Su Ping, caught up in the excitement, didn't consider it a big deal.

Moreover, he was curious about the dragon's unique features.

"Jiao Long! Take off!"

"Roar!"

The dragon's roar echoed as a terrifying purple thunder light shot out, accompanied by raging winds.

Wind and thunder energy surrounded the dragon.

Not particularly large but not small either, the dragon ascended at an unimaginable speed, spraying out from the rooftop of the building.

In an instant, it was like a black and gold giant dragon with bared fangs and claws.

"Damn, too fast, too fast! Jiao Long, slow down, slow down!"

"Master, this is already the slowest speed... If it's too slow, the flying height will decrease."

"But master, we can enter the dragon transformation state. 'Jiao Long' will enter the simulated biological flight pet state, and the speed can be adjusted."

"Oh? Then let's go!"

In the sky, the dragon's wings flapped, resembling real feathers.

The dragon's speed, previously driven by jet propulsion, transformed into a massive, wing-flapping creature.

At that moment, Su Ping, standing atop the dragon, felt as if he were riding a true mechanical dragon assembled from countless metal pieces, a living pet!

It was truly magical!

Even Su Ping, standing atop the dragon, overlooking the entire Linzhou, couldn't help but shout in awe.

In this wondrous pet world on Blue Star, there were too many incredible things.

The people below, looking up, were excited, thrilled, and some even terrified, pointing at the black and gold dragon soaring in the sky, while others took videos with their phones.

Su Ping didn't mind.

He cherished these youthful days of recklessness, especially this playful mood he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Unfortunately, Su Ping had to cut his playtime short.

About thirty minutes later, a voice formed from psychic energy sounded in his ear.

"Hey, kid, are you done playing up there? You're having all the fun while we're stuck in this uncomfortable cockpit..."

Su Ping landed on the Beastmaster Association building, feeling a bit embarrassed as he noticed Qin Erlong with a bruised face from the fall.

Fortunately, Old Qin didn't seem to mind the minor injury, not even using a healing skill.

Old Qin waved his hand, "Alright, after all that, you should prepare for the press conference at noon!"
