Chapter 382: To the Imperial Capital! The Search for Meng Huangliang!
Chapter 382: To the Imperial Capital! The Search for Meng Huangliang!
Outside the window, white clouds drifted leisurely.
Su Ping smiled as he watched the three young ladies in front of him.
Qin Xiaoxue could hardly contain her anger as she glared at Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu, who were exploring the interior of the cabin.
These two ladies seemed to ignore the gaze of their close friend and acted like curious tourists in a luxury apartment.
They thoroughly inspected every corner of the ship, except for the cockpit:
"Lu Xiaolu, look here! There's even a refrigerator, so we can really enjoy some cold drinks!"
"Yes, yes! This place is more luxurious than our dorm room. Ling Xiaoxiao, look here, there's even a dedicated meditation room to consume resources and increase energy density!"
The two girls jumped around excitedly, not settling down for a moment.
However, what surprised Qin Xiaoxue was that Su Ping also showed a look of astonishment:
"So, it has this function?"
Qin Xiaoxue was so taken aback that she almost choked on her water:
"You didn't know either?"
Su Ping followed Ling Xiaoxiao and Lu Xiaolu, nodding in agreement as he looked at the mechanical meditation room:
"This is my first long-distance trip, and when I arrived before, I never had the time to take a good look. This is indeed my first time."
"Wow! What a huge rest area, and such a big bed!"
The group entered the rest area, and Lu Xiaolu exclaimed dramatically. Then, she turned to Su Ping:
"Well, Su Ping, aren't you glad I came with Ling Xiaoxiao? Otherwise, you'd be in danger! Who knows what Qin Xiaoxue might do to you!"
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Su Ping blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.
Qin Xiaoxue's eyes widened, and her face turned red with anger:
"Lu Xiaolu, you're asking for trouble!"
Qin Xiaoxue quickly grabbed Lu Xiaolu, who was pleading for mercy. Su Ping also felt helpless, but at that moment, his phone in his pocket rang.
He took out his phone and saw a message from a rather special person.
It was from Sun Chaoju, the intermediate breeder from Wolf Park in Jianghai, with whom Su Ping had a minor disagreement but who was actually the source of the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf.
After returning from the Breeder's Association, Su Ping had rarely been in touch with Sun Chaoju.
Su Ping's rapid progress meant that many of his acquaintances struggled to keep up with him.
This time, Sun Chaoju's message was simple:
[Mu Hang's funeral is over.]
Su Ping pursed his lips.
He didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he wasn't that close to Mu Hang, but Sun Chaoju was a longtime friend of his.
From their limited interactions, Su Ping had developed a favorable impression of this gentle shadow wolf breeder.
His father had nearly killed Su Ping, and that incident was the closest Su Ping had ever come to death.
However, Su Ping knew that Mu Hang had nothing to do with Mu Yu, even though they were father and son. Their father-son relationship was not close.
Mu Hang was the kind of person who would abandon everything, even his wife and child, and betray his country to go to the other side of the ocean.
Indeed, it seemed like Mu Hang had nothing to do with Mu Yu.
But Mu Hang was different.
At least, from what Su Ping had heard from Sun Chaoju, he hadn't seen this side of Mu Hang.
Because of that incident, Su Ping had come to understand Mu Hang better, and he quite admired this unique breeder.
Now, he never expected that Mu Yu would summon his teacher, even at the cost of abandoning his own son.
But still, Mu Yu was Mu Yu, and Mu Hang was Mu Hang.
One could even say that Mu Hang died because of Su Ping.
Although he didn't feel guilty to that extent, he did feel a sense of regret. At the same time, he felt anxious that his rising status could inadvertently lead to the deaths of some good people around him.
Power.
Aside from identity and status, the most important thing was his own protective strength.
Mu Hang's death was one thing, but what about the future?
Su Ping didn't know, so these past few days, he had been meditating more diligently than ever. Combined with the partial torment of the Celestial Tomb Imprint, which was always active, Su Ping's psychic power had increased significantly over the past two days.
He had always been exceptionally talented in meditation.
Back in middle school, he had quickly risen to the top of his school, even though he didn't meditate frequently.
So, Mu Hang's death held a special significance for Su Ping.
Now, upon receiving news of Mu Hang from Sun Chaoju, Su Ping could only respond with a silent message:
"My condolences. Does he have any family left?"
"He was alone."
"..."
Qin Xiaoxue, who had been playfully fighting with Lu Xiaolu, noticed Su Ping's unusual expression and quickly let go of Lu Xiaolu, coming to his side:
"Su Ping, what's wrong? By the way, you still haven't told me what happened back then.
Su Ping shook his head, "It's nothing. That foreigner came to provoke, but later, the Holy Dragon Legend descended and took him away, that's all."
"Of course, this matter should not be discussed casually outside."
Looking at the three curious individuals, Su Ping did not elaborate further.
Qin Xiaoxue nodded, and the three women remained silent, making the atmosphere somewhat stifling. However, just then, a phone call rang, and when Su Ping checked it, he was slightly taken aback. It wasn't Sun Chaoju, who had just sent a message, but Master Zhu Hong.
Su Ping quickly answered the call, and on the other end, Master Zhu Hong's laughter could be heard:
"Su Ping, congratulations! You are now ranked top 98 among the Hall Tier Super Skills, and you are a Crown Breeder for the Hall Super Tier Skill 'Celestial Five Elements Body'!"
"Really? Has it succeeded?"
"Yes, just log into your Breeder account and check the Hall Tier Super Skill's backend."
Su Ping's eyes lit up.
This honor, for him, did not currently offer any tangible benefits.
However, it seemed very important to the Dragon Nation, otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have paid so much attention.
After hanging up the call, Su Ping quickly turned on the computer, logged into the Breeder Association's backend, and navigated to the Hall Super Tier backend.
Before he could even click on the skill ranking, he noticed that the global breeder discussion on the homepage seemed to have a very clear and detailed understanding of the changes in Hall Super Skills.
This special Hall forum, which gathered breeders from various countries, obviously had a very clear and specific understanding of the changes in Hall Super Skills.
【Top 98! The Dragon Nation's most talented young breeder?】
【A brief discussion on this brand new Hall Super Skill.】
【Five Elements? Can the Dragon Nation's ancient understanding of energy theory create such a super skill?】
【...】
There were many messy discussions.
However, after a quick glance, Su Ping didn't find them very interesting, because at this moment, after logging into his breeder account and entering the Hall Super backend, he noticed numerous notifications.
Su Ping clicked on them and indeed found a private message from the so-called global breeder hall:
【Respected Master Su Ping from the Dragon Nation, your signed super skill 'Celestial Five Elements Body' is ranked top 98, and you have the authority to modify all skill information. You can also view all the essence posts in the Breeder Hall forum. We wish you success in creating more works!】
It was indeed quite interesting to have such a relatively unique post in a forum owned by various countries.
In addition, there were some red dots.
However, when he clicked on them, they seemed to be special private messages, and most importantly, they were not in the Dragon Nation's language. Su Ping took a quick look but didn't bother to use a translation software to read more.
Finally, he clicked on the most eye-catching news on the homepage.
The number '98' occupied the entire website banner.
As expected, it was the video from his press conference two days ago.
Su Ping didn't have time to indulge in self-admiration before Qin Xiaoxue exclaimed in surprise:
"Su Ping, you were so handsome that day!"
Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiaoxiao, standing beside her, had to nod in agreement.
Su Ping raised an eyebrow, dispelling the previous gloom: "What do you mean? Am I not handsome now?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Liu Book Bar~~
Qin Xiaoxue was taken aback, then thought for a moment before looking at him and nodding seriously: "That's true."
It must be said that Miss Qin provided the right emotional support.
Su Ping didn't pay much attention to the video, as he had experienced it firsthand and there wasn't much to see.
He scrolled down to read the introduction of the skill.
【Top 98: Celestial Five Elements Body (Super Skill of the Five Elements), Crown Breeder: Su Ping (Dragon Nation), Contracted Beast: Origami Figure】
Looking at this line, Su Ping felt a bit dazed.
Six months ago, when he returned from the Metropolis, he first came across the Hall Tier skills and was amazed at how these skills were bred. They were truly extraordinary.
And now, his name was listed among them.
He had become one of them.
There were less than a hundred names on this list!
From ancient times to the present, only a tiny number of people, less than a hundred, had achieved Hall Super Skills for all known beasts!
But now, he was one of them!
What did this represent?
It almost represented the highest achievement in the breeder field.
It showed that Su Ping's skill in this area had reached a level that only a hundred people in history had attained.
Although it wasn't entirely accurate, it was enough to prove his prowess.
This incomparable sense of achievement indeed felt like a dream come true.
Su Ping immediately clicked on the notifications.
The skill introduction was similar to what the True Eye had observed:
【Super Celestial Five Elements Body: Su Ping's Super Skill based on the Dragon Nation's ancient understanding of the Five Elements Generation and Suppression Doctrine.
The Five Elements Generation: By utilizing the principle of the Five Elements Generation, one can temporarily increase their energy to several times their strength within a certain period. During this state, the energy recovery rate is significantly enhanced.
The Five Elements Suppression: Against any enemy's Five Elements-based energy attacks, as long as it does not exceed the maximum limit of one's own Five Elements Generation, such attacks are completely ineffective, and can be converted into one's own energy for use!
The Five Elements Control: Able to control and release energy skills related to the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
These skills have specific details, but some information is omitted, such as the principle of the Five Elements' mutual generation and some details about the duration.
However, unlike other Hall Tier Skills, the founding history section below is mostly blank.
For living breeders, they would not write too much about this, allowing breeders to leave their own breeding insights.
Of course, this is entirely voluntary, and they can say whatever they want.
Su Ping scratched his head and still left some words:
"In ancient times, the Five Elements theory of the Dragon Nation lasted for thousands of years. During the Liang Dynasty, Xue Hongluan, the Five Elements Divine King, pioneered a brand new method of circulation. I, along with Master Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai, the President of Liu, were fortunate enough to research and obtain this skill.
I, as a Crown Breeder, am listed among them, and I feel a bit ashamed.
The culture of the Dragon Nation is profound and vast, and the Five Elements are just one aspect of it. I hope that in the future, there will be more powerful Hall Tier Skills."
In such a place, it's natural not to reveal any breeding experiences.
Su Ping took a glance and, as expected, after he published it, he was immediately discovered. Many people in the forum started discussing it.
These people came from all over the world, all of them renowned breeders.
And Su Ping, at such a young age, has become one of the giants standing at the top of them.
Unfortunately, Su Ping had no time to read their comments. Instead, he thought of something and opened a special skill.
He had already looked at this skill more than once before.
But now, after logging into the Hall Tier Skill's backend, he opened it again.
Not for any other reason, but for the skill 'Dream Entry'.
This skill, even by its name, does not seem like a Hall Tier Skill.
And that legendary spy from the Dragon Nation, Meng Huangliang.
Previously, when he asked Ray Saint, the latter did not know.
Su Ping did not know if it was because he genuinely did not know or because his identity was special, and he could not casually reveal it.
But Su Ping thought that by now, he should be able to know the real situation of this person, right?
This Hall Tier Skill is related to the future of Fifi, his third Beast, and her upcoming path.
Regarding Fifi's future, whether to focus on the development of the Psychic System or to find a way to regain control over Mechanical Beasts, Su Ping had not yet reached a conclusion.
Just right, taking this opportunity to come to the Imperial Capital, he will figure this out.
So, he thought about it and called Zhu Hong again.
"Haha, Su Ping, have you finished reading? Did you leave any breeding insights? But let me tell you, don't be too honest. These so-called breeding insights are just a place to show off in front of others, and there's not a single bit of practical knowledge."
"Rest assured, I know that. I'm calling to ask you about something. In a while, I will arrive at the Imperial Capital. I want to ask you if you know about Meng Huangliang's situation. Is he dead?"
Su Ping spoke frankly.
On the Proud Dragon, their conversation with Zhu Hong would not be leaked due to any external factors.
Instead, there was nothing to worry about.
Zhu Hong was slightly startled, seemingly not expecting Su Ping to bring up this name.
However, he did not explain anything but paused for a moment and said:
"Meng Yan... Why are you interested in him? I can tell you the truth. He's indeed not dead, but the situation is special. His whereabouts...
How about this, since you're about to arrive at the Imperial Capital soon. After arriving, come to Dragon City first and meet that person. You can ask that person directly when you see him."
"Okay..."
Hearing Zhu Hong's words, this Meng Huangliang seems quite special?
Su Ping put down his phone and looked again at the private chats on the backend, all of which were inquiries about the Celestial Five Elements Body. He casually glanced at them and replied to the more pleasing ones, then stopped paying attention.
On the Proud Dragon, the time passed by as Su Ping chatted with Qin Xiaoxue. In less than two hours, a vast city appeared beneath them, soaring like a dragon.
They had arrived at the Imperial Capital.
