Chapter 380: The New Hall-Tier Breeder: Su Ping!
Chapter 380: The New Hall-Tier Breeder: Su Ping!
"What's going on? It's been several hours, and Su Ping hasn't come out yet."
"Yeah, that foreigner seemed to have some ill intentions. Could Su God have encountered some trouble?"
"I heard from my sister-in-law's husband's younger brother that he was at the Association, and although he didn't have the qualifications to enter the press hall, there was a huge commotion inside."
"Oh no, don't scare me..."
"Su God! Waaah..."
It was evident that this unique live-streamed event, coupled with Su Ping's impressive performance during the provincial exam, had attracted a massive viewership.
Now, several hours had passed, and the officials had yet to provide an update, naturally causing suspicion and worry. Could it be that this newly emerged, extraordinary genius breeder had encountered a problem?
Some doubted, while others were furious:
"How is our Dragon Nation's defense so lax? How could they let someone like this in so easily?"
"It's not his fault. I searched online, and this foreigner named Charles is incredible! He's a top-tier necromancy breeder, a high-level Archangel-rank beastmaster, possibly even having reached the Archangel-rank peak. He has developed numerous hall-tier super skills and evolved various contracted beasts."
"Oh no, what if Su God has really gotten into trouble?"
"Don't worry. There was an Archangel-rank beastmaster present, so even if that foreign guy is strong, he wouldn't be able to exert his full strength! Believe it!"
Just then, a special post appeared on the forum, shattering everyone's speculations:
"Stop guessing, Su Ping is fine. He's already here. Link:..."
Everyone clicked on the link, and as expected, it was a bystander's video secretly recording the scene.
Su Ping's figure emerged from the Beastmaster Association, followed by the same woman who had appeared in the previous video.
At the same time, there was also the smiling President Qin.
None of the three paid attention to the bystander's phone camera, and President Qin even waved:
"Don't forget tomorrow's expedition ceremony!"
Indeed, Su Ping's appearance in the video was unreadable.
Conspiracy theorists might assume that Su Ping's appearance at this moment was to quell the current public opinion, and that he must have encountered some issue.
Some even went as far as to suggest that the Su Ping in the video might not even be the real 'Su Ping', but an imposter using a contracted beast's ability to disguise himself.
The real Su Ping might be in a critical care unit or some other random place.
Online, there was no shortage of such conspiracy theories.
Those who truly understood the situation also knew that Su Ping's condition wasn't ideal.
However, only Su Ping himself knew that he was truly unharmed.
Not only was he unharmed, but his condition was better than ever.
After his promotion to the Overlord-rank, his psychic power surged, causing even Xiao Qing's power to tremble.
Fortunately, the difficulty of advancing from the Overlord-rank to the Monarch-rank was significantly greater than that of some lower-tier advancements.
Moreover, Su Ping also asked Xiao Qing to temporarily suppress her power.
As for President Qin's expedition ceremony, it was merely a formality for the top ten candidates from the provincial exam to meet in the imperial capital and participate in the final exam.
It wouldn't take long, but the symbolic meaning was significant.
As soon as Su Ping exited the Beastmaster Association building, he spotted a plain black sedan waiting by the roadside.
A white dress, long black hair, and a pair of sunglasses—it was Long Er.
Su Ping hurried over.
"Are you okay?"
"I already told you on the phone, didn't I? I'm fine, don't worry."
Su Ping smiled and waved, then introduced Long Er to Dong Muyun:
"This is Long Jie, sent by the higher-ups to protect me. She's a Water Heart-rank beastmaster. With Long Jie here, who could possibly harm me?"
Dong Muyun looked at Su Ping's playful smile and seemed relieved, letting out a long sigh. He turned to Long Er:
"Hello. Thank you for your help."
Long Er nodded slightly and shook hands with Dong Muyun, then remained silent.
Dong Muyun didn't mind and got into the car. Just as he was about to ask a question, Su Ping's private phone rang again.
Seeing the caller, Su Ping knew he had to answer.
"Hello! Su Ping, are you okay? I'm so worried here. I was supposed to go to Linzhou, but my grandmother stopped me, saying I couldn't help. After my grandfather called, I decided to call you.
Who is that guy? Did he do something to you? I'm heading to Linzhou now!"
Qin Xiaoxue's words poured out like raindrops, overwhelming Su Ping.
Su Ping felt a mix of helplessness and warmth, as even Qin Xiaoxue, with her carefree nature, was concerned about him. It was good to have someone care:
"No need to worry. Just stay at the academy, and I'll come to see you myself tomorrow. Then, we'll go to the imperial capital together. You can see for yourself tomorrow if I'm okay."
"Really? Great, hehehe, it seems like you're really fine, that's good, that's good, Su Ping, don't worry. In the future, when I become stronger, I'll definitely avenge you!"
As Miss Qin spoke the last sentence, the sound of teeth grinding could be heard over the phone, and one could imagine the expression on Qin Xiaoxue's face at that moment.
Su Ping chuckled.
Long Er, who was sitting beside him, glanced at Su Ping, who was chatting endlessly on the phone, although most of the time, Su Ping was the one listening.
She took another look at the driver's seat, and although there was no change in expression, the speed reached nearly 200 miles after leaving Linzhou City.
This captain-level figure, who had always served in the special forces, revealed a hint of admiration.
Despite resisting the mental interference from the Celestial Tomb Mark, he remained calm and composed in front of these two concerned women, and indeed, with such achievements, his willpower was far beyond that of an ordinary young beastmaster.
After chatting with Qin Xiaoxue for a while, by the time the sky had turned dark, they finally returned to the Spirit Beast Codex. Su Ping decisively declined everyone's inquiries.
He no longer wanted to repeat what Qin Xiaoxue and Dong Muyun had said multiple times.
Coincidentally, his recently broken-through psychic power still needed a little recovery.
After saying this, he decisively went back to rest.
He indeed needed to continue resting.
Today, he had faced quite a few things:
- Revealing the secret of the origami figure's evolution and the Celestial Five Elements Body.
- Encountering Charles's interference.
- The descent of the Dragon Legend.
- The joy and sorrow brought by the Celestial Tomb Mark.
- The aftereffects of the psychic power breakthrough.
All of these had indeed left Su Ping feeling exhausted.
Upon returning to his study, he had just lain down when he fell into a deep sleep.
However, the impact of today's noon press conference on the world had only just begun.
...
Lion Country.
The Lion Country, known as the Empire of the Sun, now seemed to be lagging behind compared to the rising Dragon Country and the Eagle Country, which had gained the most benefits from the mechanical beast revolution.
However, as the beastmaster empire occupying half of the western continent, Lion Country's foundation was still solid.
Inside the highest laboratory of the Lion Country Imperial Library.
An old lady with deep-set eyes, a hooked nose, and wrinkles like the skin of a shriveled orange, frowned at the strange creature in front of her.
It was a peculiar creature, humanoid in shape, but with white wings growing from its back.
"Is this a Light Element Beast, the Light Spirit, a Saint-level evolution of the Light Angel? No wonder this small religious country of beastmasters has been rising so rapidly in recent years."
The old lady muttered in the Lion Country language, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, her white hair hanging loose, resembling a witch from some Western stories.
However, just then, the laboratory door opened, and a platinum-haired girl with glasses walked in. The old lady turned her head, slightly annoyed:
"Ilo? What is it? I told you, when I'm in the lab, don't disturb me."
The visitor took a look at the imprisoned Light Angel and swallowed, then hurriedly said:
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but something big has happened."
This work is uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar~~
Seeing her assistant's expression, the old lady also walked out of the lab and into the adjacent office: "What's the matter?"
After sitting down, the assistant girl said:
"Ma'am, the Dragon Country from the East has submitted a Hall Tier Super Skill certification, and Charles from the Eagle Country has already approved this super skill's qualification to enter the Hall Tier.
At the same time, that existence from the Dragon Country entered the starry sky three hours ago, destroying an Eagle Country fleet of starry sky-class warships, including the mechanical warship 'Icarus', which is a Spirit Beast Peak, quasi-Saint-level vessel, and twelve Spirit Beast-class starships.
Additionally, the Eagle Country beastmasters in the starry sky suffered casualties of over a hundred, including four Emperor-level beastmasters and dozens of Monarch-level beastmasters. The Eagle Country's Saint-level beastmaster, Beldich, was critically injured and near death.
The Eagle Country's parliament member who entered the starry sky allowed Mr. Beldich to be rescued before his death on the 'Icarus' by its cover. Both parties engaged in unknown activities in the starry sky, but it is said that the person ultimately did nothing and returned to the Eagle Country.
The old lady blinked, her cloudy eyes looking at the assistant in front of her: "Ilo, are you testing my wisdom and experience?"
The assistant helplessly spread her hands: "Ma'am, this is real. You can log into your Hall account and check if there's a proposal from the Dragon Country."
The old lady didn't waste any more words and decisively logged in. After seeing a proposal in the backend, she fell silent.
The old lady saw that in the video, this handsome young man was incredibly young.
However, if it were any other time, the old lady might have taken a look at this rare Eastern handsome young man, but at this moment, she obviously didn't have the mood for it.
She stared at the video of the super-tier skill, deep in thought, before the phone in the office rang, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere.
The elderly woman answered the call. She barely spoke, nodding a few times before hanging up and falling into a daze.
Her assistant quickly asked, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
"It's true..." The elderly woman murmured.
The assistant, named ILO, continued, "Ma'am, will the Eagle Nation let this go? Regardless, the Eagle Nation's strength shouldn't be something the Dragon Nation fears, right? After all, it's said that the Eagle Nation has two legendary-level Beast Taming Masters."
The elderly woman shook her head. "You don't understand."
She then ignored the young assistant and began to operate the computer, her movements slightly clumsy.
The assistant, a young girl, turned to her, "Ma'am, do you need my help? What are you doing?"
"I'm approving the application for the Celestial Tomb skill of the young Dragon Nation tamer, Su Ping. He's only nineteen years old, truly remarkable."
"Nineteen years old?!" The girl exclaimed, covering her mouth in disbelief.
The elderly woman paid her no mind and continued her focused work. The assistant, who clearly had a close relationship with the elderly woman, asked curiously, "Ma'am, can this Easterner really be selected?"
The elderly woman nodded. "This Celestial Five Elements Body... What a strange name. Are all Eastern Beast Taming skills named so oddly? But this one should be fine. We just need to wait for the other nomination result."
"Another nomination?" The assistant was puzzled.
Ignoring her, the elderly woman accessed a special authentication website. After completing the authentication with her iris and psychic power, a clear electronic voice emanated from the computer:
Dear Duchess Olivia Connor, good morning. What are your thoughts and questions regarding these two proposals?"
The elderly woman cleared her throat.
"I have no objections or questions. I approve the Dragon Nation Breeder, Su Ping, and his Celestial Five Elements Body skill for Hall of Fame skill qualification.
Additionally, I support Wind Edge's proposal to accept Su Ping as a member of the World Hall of Fame Breeding Masters Committee."
After a brief pause, the electronic voice responded, "Your vote has been recorded, and the other Hall of Fame Breeding Masters will be informed of your decision. Please await the final voting results."
The elderly woman sighed in relief, reviewed the video of the proposal twice, and then closed it. Turning to her perplexed assistant, the latter quickly asked,
"Ma'am, is that Dragon Nation breeder really only nineteen years old? Does he truly qualify to be a member of the Hall of Fame Breeding Masters Committee?"
The elderly woman smiled faintly, "Ilo, as a member of the Connor family, you have the best talents and education. But there are many remarkable people in the world.
Whether he qualifies or not depends on the final voting results. Moreover, this young man from the East already meets the conditions, doesn't he?"
"But..."
The elderly woman knew what the 'but' implied. As a member of the Connor family, only she and her sister, Ilo's true grandmother, Erlsyn Connor, the female breeding master sentenced to death by the World Court, had achieved such a feat within the family.
Now, a nineteen-year-old youth from the East was making a name for himself. Why?
She shook her head, "The Easterner is just showing off his strength. As for whether the Eagle Nation will retaliate, Charles' visit this time might have angered that person, and the timing is just right.
The internal changes in the Eagle Nation have intensified over the years, with growing friction between the Parliament and the Golden Heart.
Unless they can truly put aside their differences and unite, they'll have to endure it.
However, achieving unity is extremely challenging. The Parliament and the Golden Heart are not just represented by two legendary-level Beast Taming Masters;
they also symbolize the two directions of the Eagle Nation. In this regard, neither side will compromise.
Moreover, the breeding master faction led by Charles in the Eagle Nation has already approved this young man's proposal. Isn't this the best proof?"
Looking at the young assistant, who was nominally a girl but actually a younger family member, the elderly woman said,
"So, remember this name from the East. This young man will likely become the third Hall of Fame Breeding Masters Committee member after Wind Edge and Zhu Hong.
He will also be the ninety-eighth Hall of Fame skill's crowned breeder! His name will remain in the history of Blue Planet's breeding masters, a figure for modern times to look up to."
The assistant, Ilo Connor, adjusted her glasses and repeated the Easterner's name in her mind, "Su Ping..."
