Chapter 378: Charles' Gift? A Legend Arrives!
Chapter 378: Charles' Gift? A Legend Arrives!
"This little guy is indeed amazing! Zhu Hong, are you sure this skill is truly led by Su Ping?"
In the Imperial Capital, Dragon City.
Within a special pavilion that straddled the boundary between reality and the secret realm.
Several figures remained in this place.
Among them were Leng Ao and Zhu Hong.
They smiled as they watched the live broadcast on the screen, where a white-bearded old man with a celestial air about him still seemed incredulous as he spoke.
Zhu Hong smiled and said, "Old Feng, the Celestial Five Elements Body is the result of Su Ping's own development of the origami figure and the efforts of the female beastmaster from history. However, the former's contribution is actually greater."
"Although she figured out the principle, Su Ping at that time had already thought of this and began preparing to conduct research. It was only after discovering Xue Hongluan's hand drawings that he accelerated his progress."
"As for the credit for this skill, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is all Su Ping's achievement. I merely assisted him in carrying out the task."
"Incredible! Truly incredible!"
The group chatted and smiled, but their words and laughter abruptly ceased the next second as the scene on the screen changed.
The figure of 'Mu Hang' stood up, and his words, along with the slowly burning blood-red flames, made the atmosphere in the pavilion turn icy cold.
Then, a surge of energy erupted, and a pair of scarlet eyes seemed to open from the void.
Everyone instinctively looked towards Leng Ao, who was standing beside them.
This aura emanated from his body:
"Charles!"
The voice, as if squeezed through clenched teeth, caused everyone to feel a sense of awe.
Leng Ao, who was relatively young among them, had been improving his strength at an astonishingly rapid pace.
The next moment, Leng Ao's figure was about to flash out of the room.
Just then, a voice sounded, stopping Leng Ao, who was about to rush directly to Linzhou:
"Leng Ao, it's too late."
The speaker was none other than Feng, the president of the Beastmaster Association.
He was the only one who could stop Leng Ao at this moment.
Leng Ao's face twisted, and he tried to break free instinctively, but Feng quickly continued:
"Calm down, Leng Ao. Don't forget that Meng Yao is still there, and Charles has only descended as a consciousness. In this situation, Su Ping won't be in any life-threatening danger. Trust Meng Yao!"
"The Legendary Elder is also paying attention and awaiting his orders."
Indeed, almost in the next instant, a voice resonated in their hearts:
"Don't act rashly. I'll go there myself."
The voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
At the same time, outside the pavilion, it seemed as if a staircase pierced through space, connecting to the void. A figure walked up the steps and disappeared.
This sight finally allowed everyone present to breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no need to elaborate on the situation in the Imperial Capital.
At this moment, in the live broadcast hall in Linzhou, the atmosphere was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
However, the scene unfolding before them made everyone's hearts involuntarily shiver.
The scarlet flames enveloped the head, casting a sinister and terrifying aura.
The entire live broadcast seemed to flicker and distort due to the appearance of this figure.
Oddly enough, Su Ping didn't show much panic.
Perhaps it was because Long Er had already warned him earlier, or perhaps it was because such a significant event, if not for some unexpected twist, would be more surprising.
"Who are you? How dare you speak so arrogantly here?!"
A breeder standing beside 'Mu Hang' frowned and spoke up.
The head, already enveloped in blood-red flames, turned slightly to look at the speaker, but he didn't respond or take any action. Instead, he turned back to face the stage and continued to watch Su Ping:
"Su Ping, I regret not meeting you in person last time. Cold Saint is too rigid and domineering,
but at that time, I thought you were just a bait to lure out the snake. I never expected you to be so special. I apologize for my previous underestimation of you with my words and actions."
As he spoke, this figure actually bowed in apology to Su Ping, following the ancient customs of the Dragon Kingdom.
His demeanor was extremely gentle and elegant, although it didn't quite match his actions. However, he did have a bit of an old-fashioned Western air about him.
Of course, if not for the blood-red flames still burning on his head, which were incredibly eerie.
Su Ping glanced at the figure in front of him.
Long Er had already summoned his contracted beast, and the spiritual power of the Ray Saint had already spread out. The former was an instinctive reaction, while the latter, although unsure of what was happening, also sensed something amiss.
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and his aura slowly returned to calmness. He looked at the figure before him and spoke without arrogance or humility:
"Charles, your words are too kind. How could I, a junior, possibly deserve an apology from a legendary figure like you, a master breeder of the undead?"
Indeed, almost as soon as the flames ignited and the chilling undead aura filled the room, Su Ping had guessed the identity of this person. After all, Leng Ao had previously mentioned Mu Yu's situation to him.
And with these words, the entire hall fell silent once more.
On the internet, in the live broadcast, perhaps at this very moment, many people didn't know this name.
Some had never even heard of it and wondered who this so-called legendary breeder of the undead was and why he was so impressive.
But at this moment, everyone in the hall held their breath.
Especially the president of the Xihai Province Beastmaster Association and the breeder who had just spoken.
They now understood why this person had the qualification to acknowledge Su Ping's super skill as a hall-tier skill.
Indeed, he had the qualification! Even the Ray Saint's breathing became heavy, though compared to others, his eyes showed a hint of excitement.
At this moment, Qin Erlong was the first to react, immediately turning to the media broadcasting the live stream. A green vine suddenly appeared beside him, shattering several cameras that were recording the event.
'Bang!'
A crisp shattering sound echoed, and the live broadcast, which had been transmitting the scene, suddenly went black, leaving everyone who had been watching the ongoing press conference in confusion.
But it has to be said that such a situation surprised him.
At the same time, Mu Hang's body finally lost all its strength and fell backward with a thud.
The last trace of residual spiritual power slowly condensed into a faint shadow in the void, forming a pale human face. This face paid no attention to anyone, its gaze fixed on Su Ping, with a detestable smile always hanging on its lips:
"Su Ping, accept the gift I'm giving you. From now on, we won't be enemies!"
Su Ping didn't delve further, dealing with the situation as it came.
Not to mention, he still had the unyielding Dragon Soul as his trump card.
He calmly looked at the huge face formed by the last of the spiritual power.
Speaking word for word, the content of his words was something he had already said before:
"Sir Charles, as I said, I will definitely kill you!"
"Hahaha, in your Dragon Kingdom's words, I await my execution! I'm leaving..."
The illusory human face was just a mark left by the spiritual soul, and this mark gradually dissipated, leaving even the powerful Sage Yanshen helpless.
Continuing to attack would only accelerate this process.
However, at this moment, an unfamiliar calm voice sounded:
"Hold on!"
The voice was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.
It was as if the flow of time and space had frozen at the appearance of these two words.
The illusory face, which was about to dissipate, suddenly returned to its original state due to these two words.
Charles' human face became extremely vivid at this moment.
For some unknown reason, a figure appeared in the hall.
This figure stood there, yet it seemed impossible for anyone to see it clearly:
"If you're here, then come. If you're leaving, then go."
The calm voice, accompanied by footsteps, seemed to pound in the hearts of everyone present.
Su Ping looked at the figure with his back to him in disbelief, unable to react for a moment.
"Oh, my idol, I never thought I'd get to see you again. You're the most fervent believer and fan of yours, and I'm truly fortunate to meet you again..."
The illusory face opened its mouth exaggeratedly.
However, at this moment, everyone in the hall was stunned.
They had initially thought it was just an ordinary press conference. If it weren't for the leaked information that this conference was important, some of them wouldn't have even come.
But after Su Ping dropped two bombshells, followed by the appearance of the legendary Necromancer Charles, renowned throughout the world, everyone was in awe.
And now, even at the last moment, this legendary figure had personally arrived.
The illusory face, almost invisible, ignored the exaggerated reaction of the human face and spoke calmly:
"What is that? Take it out."
There was an undeniable authority in his voice.
The illusory human face showed a troubled expression:
"Sir, I told that little doll earlier that even with you here, you can't stop me from giving Su Ping this gift.
Now, I'll tell you, even if it's just the two of us, we can't take out that mark."
Silence.
The entire hall fell silent, and Su Ping had a bad feeling he couldn't quite explain.
What had this old monster given him?
After the silence, Charles continued:
"As for what it is, I can only say it's related to the Heavenly Tomb."
Heavenly Tomb? Mark?
A ripple flashed in Su Ping's eyes.
"Forget it, I'll take it out myself later. As for you..."
The illusory figure glanced at Charles' illusory human face:
"Do you think that by appearing in such a way, I can't do anything to you?"
"Are you saying that with your methods, I can't stop you? You're hailed as the most powerful Beastmaster in human history, and I believe in your abilities. But the times are changing, and a new era is about to arrive! And the essence of death lies in..."
The human face didn't finish its sentence.
Suddenly, it froze in place.
Because the figure slowly uttered four words: "Trace the source."
Across the ocean, in the gloomy cemetery research institute.
As Mu Yu was still somewhat bewildered and tense, staring at the black screen of the TV, his teacher, who was lying on the sofa not far away, suddenly sat up. Fiery red flames instantly enveloped him, almost burning his entire body.
"Ah..."
A shrill howl echoed throughout the entire tomb.
Mu Yu was astonished as he watched his teacher, whom he considered invincible, being burned like a drunken shrimp in the flames. In this burning, he didn't even have a chance to fight back,
And at that moment, in the heart of the city on the other side of the ocean, a hawk's cry that ordinary people couldn't hear echoed in the tomb.
The next moment, the raging soul flames on Charles' body gradually subsided, but even so, the legendary Necromancer, who had already transformed into a Lich form, had his soul flames resembling a candle in the wind.
Then, a cold voice echoed in the tomb's research institute:
"Your soul... Heh... So you have another reliance? But since you dare to provoke me, be prepared to face the consequences. This isn't over yet."
The authority in the voice made Mu Yu subconsciously kneel on the ground, his body trembling.
Meanwhile, in the hall.
The figure and Su Ping had disappeared without a trace.
Only Qin Erlong was left, sighing as he looked at the messy hall, never expecting such an ending:
"Alright, find someone to clean up, and also, everyone who came today, sign a confidentiality agreement."
In the back hall, Su Ping sat on the sofa. Before he could examine the figure in front of him, the figure extended its finger and spoke calmly:
"You rest first."
Almost as soon as the words left its mouth, Su Ping felt an inexplicable drowsiness, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.
