Chapter 384: Yama Trinity! Fantasy Manifestation! The Legacy of Dragon City!

Chapter 384: Yama Trinity! Fantasy Manifestation! The Legacy of Dragon City!

One must admit that the Dragon Dynasty Club, as recognized by numerous Holy Spirit-ranked individuals and even Master Zhu, is indeed a top-tier club.

Even on his way from the helipad to the Skill Power Testing Hall, Su Ping couldn't help but be amazed.

There were all sorts of facilities and venues.

Some were even specially designed for Elemental Companion Beasts, creating an environment rich in elemental energy.

The energy in the environment formed energy particles.

There were also many play areas dedicated to companion beasts, including simulated hunting environments that Su Ping had been longing for. These hunting environments were the secret realm entrances that had been moved into the club's estate.

After a quick glance at the Dragon Dynasty Club's estate, Su Ping understood some of the shortcomings of his Heart of All Spirits. After all, the Imperial Capital was the center of the Dragon Kingdom.

The facilities, environment, and resources used by the Dragon Dynasty Club's estate, which was among the top clubs in the Imperial Capital, might even be the best in the world.

Although Linzhou was the center of Jianghai, it was still just a provincial area, and Su Ping had indeed seen less of many things.

With this thought, Su Ping made up his mind. When he had time, he wouldn't waste his trip to the Imperial Capital. Besides the Dragon Dynasty Club, there were other Beast Breeder bases he wanted to inspect. As a Hall-ranked Breeder, it made sense for him to visit other breeders' workplaces.

Following Wang Delong, Su Ping and the others finally arrived at the Dragon Dynasty Club, a specialized combat arena for testing and sparring.

Su Ping felt that the combat arena in the Heart of All Spirits, which was inherited from the Cloud Heart, was already quite large.

Especially the central arena, which could accommodate combat between Sovereign-ranked Beast Masters and their beasts, covering an area of nearly two thousand square meters.

It was large enough for battles involving giant companion beasts.

But now, facing this internal combat arena that exceeded two square kilometers, a space as big as a small neighborhood, Su Ping was awe-struck. The internal arena, when measured by its normal area, was about ten stories tall.

And this was just the fighting platform.

There was also a massive Skill Testing Device capable of withstanding the impact of Holy Spirit-ranked companion beasts' energy, showcasing the club's immense wealth.

Seeing Su Ping's astonished gaze, Wang Delong quickly explained, "Forgive me, Breeder Su. 'Seed Crystal' is an extremely precious resource, so I can only slightly expand the arena here, which might seem crude."

Su Ping blinked, as he was never one to shy away from asking questions. "Seed Crystal?"

Zhu Hong, standing beside him, smiled and said, "A Holy Spirit-ranked Spatial resource, an extremely rare and special resource with unique effects. It can emit a special Seed Light that causes all affected Beast Masters and their beasts to shrink in size according to their cultivation level.

Even Sovereign-ranked and lower Beast Masters and their beasts will instantly become ant-sized when affected by the Seed Light, regardless of their original size.

Furthermore, even the power of their skills can be reduced. It's an incredible effect, but it also has significant limitations. Once outside the Seed Crystal's influence, they will immediately return to their original size.

The energy outside the crystal cannot affect those within, and the energy inside cannot affect those outside. Therefore, this special material is used in the highest-level trial and sparring arenas.

Even Holy Spirit-ranked Beast Masters and their beasts can unleash their power without worrying about damaging the environment. In Dragon City, there's a Seed Crystal Arena covered by twelve complete Seed Crystals."

Su Ping took a sharp breath.

He was amazed by the wondrous effects of various special resources and materials in this world, and also impressed by Dragon City's wealth.

But then, a thought crossed his mind:

"Can this sparring arena support battles between Holy Spirit-ranked Beast Masters and their beasts?"

Zhu Hong shook his head decisively.

"Su Ping, Holy Spirit-ranked and Legendary-ranked are two different concepts. Beast Masters and their beasts of such levels, unless they are like the ancient Water and Fire Dragons, who completely disregard the world and Blue Sphere's energy field, would need a better sparring arena. One that doesn't require any resources and is accessible to all."

"Oh? Where?"

Su Ping genuinely didn't know.

Zhu Hong pointed upwards.

Su Ping looked up at the white ceiling, feeling perplexed.

Then, he realized,

"Space?"

Zhu Hong nodded.

"Yes."

Su Ping blinked again, deciding not to overthink it. He turned his attention back to the present.

He hadn't even seen the Seed Crystal, so why bring up space? However, Su Ping's mind began to wander in its usual way.

If there's a Spatial resource that can shrink size, could there be one that can expand it? Even if not, what's the principle behind the Seed Crystal?

According to the ancient teachings of Dragon Country, besides the Five Elements, there's another equally important concept: Yin and Yang.

Generally, some things are binary opposites. If there's shrinking, shouldn't there be expansion as well?

Although Su Ping himself wasn't sure if applying Yin and Yang in this context was reliable.

However, this wasn't the time to ask such questions. Su Ping buried the thought in his heart and finally focused on the present.

He indeed hadn't decided which legacy to choose.

Now, he found the legacy of Dragon City quite appealing, and he was also interested in Mental-type beasts.

Therefore, the Five Color City and Emerald Dreamland were what Su Ping had in mind.

However, these individuals were willing to showcase the strength of their respective Dragon Clans, and Su Ping was naturally eager to witness it.

Lord Leng, the same as always, wasted no time with idle chatter. With a swift gesture, he summoned forth a dragon.

The entire trial ground seemed to dim as a sinister and chilling sound of a dragon's roar echoing with a sinister and starkly different appearance.

At that moment, a pair of crimson eyes appeared, and a sinister chill emanated from them.

Ghost Dragon!

Ghost Dragons and Bone Dragons were relatively common among the Necromantic Dragon Clans, with the former belonging to the Divine Dragon Clan and the latter to the Giant Dragon Clan.

In the darkness, a massive figure loomed like a sinister shadow, and only the crimson eyes and the chilling aura within them could be seen.

The temperature in the air dropped several times, causing a bone-chilling cold.

"Xiao Ping, the Ghost Dragon is a powerful soul from the Necromantic Dragon Clan. As the strongest of the Dragon Clan's souls, the Ghost Dragon's abilities are different from ordinary dragons. It is almost completely immune to all non-energy attacks, and in the Bone Land, there exists an extremely powerful Supreme Skill passed down by the Ghost Dragon!"

At this point, Lord Leng turned his gaze towards the Ghost Dragon and, smiling at everyone, spoke:

"Old Ghost, Ghostly Descent!"

"Woof!"

A piercing dragon's roar sounded.

The Ghost Dragon named Old Ghost had its body covered in a crimson explosion.

In an instant, the ghostly dragon, hidden in nothingness, seemed to be drenched in blood.

Terrifying energy waves spread.

"Ghostly Descent can greatly enhance the Ghost Dragon's combat power. During this time, the Ghost Dragon is nearly invincible, and the skill's power is significantly enhanced. It's a status-altering Supreme Skill, and not only that..."

Lord Leng waved his hand:

"Old Ghost, Fickle Cord!"

"Woof!"

The Ghost Dragon roared, and a crimson beam of light suddenly pierced through the air, directly attaching itself to the skill testing device.

'Crack!'

A teeth-grating sound echoed, causing Wang Delong to wince in pain.

The seemingly sturdy and special skill testing device emitted a crisp sound:

"Testing complete. Skill power unknown. Death Domain Special Skill, with instant death effect on all soul-bearing creatures..."

The test results appeared, causing everyone present to gasp in shock.

The speed of the Death Domain Skill was so fast, making it impossible to defend against!

However, this was just the beginning! Lord Leng, at his age, was highly regarded in the Dragon Kingdom, and naturally, he had extraordinary abilities.

"Old Ghost, Judge's Pen!"

The Ghost Dragon's body was covered in crimson, ready to burst.

The next moment, the crimson beams of light, like a series of lightning bolts, flashed and popped in an instant.

It was as if the life force was being drawn out and added to the Ghost Dragon, but no effect was visible.

It wasn't over yet.

"Yama Decree!"

In the presence of the Ghost Dragon, a ghostly figure seemed to condense, and a crimson beam of light, several times thicker than before, directly enveloped the skill testing device.

This attack was unavoidable, and even same-ranked companion beasts and beast masters couldn't resist it!

However, this skill was special. If this strike had hit the testing device, it was questionable if the device or even the entire venue would remain intact.

Thinking of this, Wang Delong turned to Su Ping, wondering what this young man was hesitating about. Such a rare inheritance, wasn't it powerful enough?

Everyone's hearts trembled.

Lord Leng had indeed brought out his exceptional skills.

All eyes turned to Lord Leng with apprehension, acknowledging his prowess.

This unique three-in-one skill wasn't unseen, but all three skills had reached the Perfect Rank, and their auras were distinct. The death aura was so thick it was almost exaggerated.

Lord Leng didn't seem to mind, smiling slightly:

"Fickle Cord, Judge's Pen, Yama Decree—these three skills, if not a three-in-one skill but a complete fusion, would be extremely powerful among Supreme Skills! However, these three skills are very special, and currently, Bone Land hasn't found the medium to merge them or the final puzzle piece! But as rare death-type breeding skills, each release of these three skills, upon hitting their target, greatly increases the instant death effect probability on the opponent, and..."

Su Ping nodded, intrigued. He knew something others didn't—he had his reasons to believe in his Golden Finger. With this skill's inheritance and cultivation method, he could perfect it with universal experience! And it was a genuine rare death-type skill.

Su Ping nodded again.

Before he could respond, the master Zhu Hong smiled:

"When Ghostly Descent is used, resistance to Light and Life Domain Skills is reduced, and they can be suppressed by these two skills. Saint Yun's words were a bit biased."

Lord Leng glared at the old master with displeasure.

However, he didn't say anything.

"Saint Yun rarely fights, and what she shows is mostly the Li Huo Cai Feng. I wonder how strong the Sprite Dragon is!"

Master Zhu Hong waved his hand, causing Lord Leng to pout.

Saint Yun didn't mind, extending her hand as ripples of nothingness spread.

The next moment, a strange figure appeared in everyone's vision.

Indeed, it was an extremely peculiar dragon.

Unlike the previous Divine Dragon Clan dragons,

this dragon had a swan-like slender neck and elegant dragon head, and while its body was like that of a Giant Dragon Clan, it had four wings and its entire body shimmered with five-colored light, like a strange butterfly.

Sprite Dragon!

A special dragon of the Life and Mental Clans.

Even in Emerald Dreamland, it seemed to be a rarely seen dragon clan?

"Emerald Dreamland is mainly composed of Light, Life, Wood, and Mental Clans, with Sprite Dragons, Wood Dragons, Fairy Dragons, and Light Dragons as the main dragon clans. Among them, there are five inherited Supreme Skills: two from the Life Clan, and one each from the Wood, Light, and Mental Clans."

Amongst my collection, Lan Meng has mastered the Mental Clan's Advanced Skill, 'Life Sharing', a very special Life Domain Supreme Skill that can be used both offensively and defensively."

The Sprite Dragon raised its head and let out a sound akin to the low call of a phoenix.

Then, a ray of light, at some unknown moment, connected with Su Ping.

"The first effect of Life Sharing is to link with many friendly Companion Beasts and Beastmasters. Lan Meng can share approximately one-tenth to one-third of the effectiveness of the healing skills she uses on herself with all linked Companion Beasts and Beastmasters, without any additional energy consumption!"

At these words, Su Ping stared in disbelief.

Sure enough, a glimmer of life flashed on the Sprite Dragon's body, and the next second, Su Ping felt an indescribable warm current flowing from the shared life connection, filling his entire body with strength.

"The second effect, you've probably guessed it, is to establish a connection with an enemy. Any injury Su Ping receives can also be applied to the enemy. However, the healing effect will not work. Su Ping can continuously injure and heal himself, while the enemy will continuously suffer the same."

Of course, this skill also has its limitations. Sharing life with allies is fine, but when sharing injuries with enemies, it requires the enemy's blood or soul essence as a medium, and the difference in cultivation realms cannot be ignored."

Su Ping was amazed at the words of Yun Sheng.

This skill is indeed versatile and aligns with Su Ping's understanding of some Advanced Skills.

Yun Sheng's explanation was comprehensive and clear. For Su Ping, aside from the choice of Dragon Companion, the most concerning aspect was these Advanced Skills, and the Mental Domain Skill from Emerald Dreamland was a prime example:

"As for the Mental Domain, Lan Meng's proficiency is relatively average. However, I also know of the Mental Domain Supreme Skill in Emerald Dreamland, called 'Fantasy Manifestation'.

Its effect is simple: it can manifest corresponding Companion Beasts through mental illusions and bring them into reality, capable of displaying strength not inferior to Su Ping's own combat prowess.

However, this skill also has its restrictions. First, the manifested creatures must be ones the Companion Beast is familiar with. Second, the manifested creature's cultivation realm cannot exceed Su Ping's."

Su Ping licked his lips, and he was indeed tempted.

This Fantasy Manifestation sounded very good and reliable!

But...

Su Ping asked again:

"Elder Yun Sheng, can this Virtual Manifestation only be cultivated on a Dragon?"

Sure enough, Yun Sheng nodded:

"Virtual Manifestation is an exclusive skill of the Fairy Dragon. It's not something that even the Sprite Dragon has been able to master. However, Su Ping, if you join the Emerald Dream, you might be able to give it a try."

It was evident that everyone could see Su Ping's temptation.

While others may not have known, Lord Leng was well aware of the young man's intentions.

He knew exactly what this stinker was up to.

His peculiar mechanical core was of the Mental Domain!

A Mental Companion Beast was something Lord Leng had never heard of before.

Although it seemed unlikely that a mechanical core could master an Advanced Skill exclusive to the Fairy Dragon, Su Ping was not one to follow conventional logic.]



At this thought, Lord Leng spoke up:

"Master Zhu, where's your Yellow Dragon? Isn't it your turn now?"

Zhu Hong smiled slightly, just about to extend his hand to summon the Yellow Dragon that had merged with the Wood Clan, but suddenly his expression changed, his old face stiffening slightly. He then said to Su Ping:

"Su Ping, since you're so familiar with the Yellow Dragon, let's skip it. In any case, the Five Color City has thoroughly researched pure Elemental Dragons, and joining them will definitely be the right choice!"

Everyone present gave Zhu Hong a strange look, wondering what he meant.

But soon, they understood.

Within two seconds, hurried footsteps rushed in from outside.

A girl with an odd appearance, seemingly around the same age as Qin Xiaoxue, ran in while muttering:

"Here I am, Meng Yao. Why didn't you just come to Dragon City directly?"

Su Ping was taken aback. Was she also a Hall Level?

Apparently not.

But soon, the girl looked at the crowd in surprise, her bright eyes falling on Zhu Hong:

"Master Zhu, is the Yellow Dragon here? It's just been promoted to Hall Level, and it's supposed to play with me. But we agreed that if the Yellow Dragon loses again, it has to agree to become a member of my future harem."

Zhu Hong smiled slightly, not paying attention to the girl's words, and instead, he respectfully bowed:

"Greetings, Ice Dragon Queen!"

Su Ping was surprised that not only Master Zhu but everyone present, including Lord Leng, seemed unaware that the visitor was such a person, and they all followed suit:

"Greetings, Ice Dragon Queen."

Su Ping blinked, taken aback.

Before him was a blue-haired girl with snow-white pupils and translucent skin.

Ice Dragon Queen?

Wasn't she human?

But the girl didn't seem to mind Su Ping's scrutinizing gaze. She turned to look at Su Ping and addressed the person next to him:

"Little Meng Yao, is this the genius breeder?"

Meng Yao nodded, acting like a sycophant:

"Ice Sister, this is Su Ping. After Su Ping's Rainbow Coral Worm received the Rainbow Dragon breeding heritage from our Four Seas Dragon Palace, it quickly developed an entirely new evolutionary form in a short time, and its potential is enormous!"

Rainbow Dragon.

Everyone present had heard Meng Yao mention this more than once. The ability to develop such a corresponding Dragon evolution clearly showed Su Ping's talent in this regard.

The Ice Dragon Queen's snow-white pupils fixed on Su Ping,

and then she smiled and said, "Handsome human, do you want to become my harem member?"

Su Ping's eyelids twitched rapidly.

What was wrong with this so-called Ice Dragon Queen?

"Handsome human, my strength far exceeds your imagination!"

The Ice Dragon Queen was full of pride.

Finally, the Ray Saint spoke up:

"Ice Sister, Su Ping is..."

"The Ice Dragon Queen showed no concern and waved her hand dismissively, "What's the difference?"

The Ray Saint pondered for a moment and glanced around, noticing that most of the people present were outsiders.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxue and her companions stood at the outskirts of the trial ground, and finally spoke up, "Ice Sister, the Holy Dragon Legend mentioned that if Su Ping has a strong will, he can attempt to let him come into contact with the Dragon Gate."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present visibly froze, including Su Ping.

What is the Dragon Gate?

He vaguely recalled hearing about it once; it seemed that the birth of the Dragon Clan in Dragon City was related to the Dragon Gate.

As for the rest, he didn't know much.

However, for everyone present, the implications were obviously completely different.

But at this moment, no one spoke up again.

Even the Ice Dragon Queen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Su Ping seized this opportunity to quietly ask Zhu Hong beside him, "Master Zhu, this..."

This Ice Dragon Queen seemed to have some issues with her mind?

Zhu Hong smiled, "The Ice Dragon Queen is currently a Dragon King-level existence in the Four Seas Dragon Palace. She's a blood relative of the Sea Dragon King, and is hailed as the most promising Holy Spirit Rank Dragon King with the potential to advance to the Legendary Rank."

Zhu Hong paused and continued, "To be precise, from a certain perspective, this Ice Dragon Queen has one foot in the Legendary Rank. And the other foot is already lifted, just waiting for the final step."

Su Ping's pupils dilated, and he no longer dared to underestimate this peculiar human-shaped mother dragon.

However, blood relative?

Aren't dragons asexual?

Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he thought of what Qin Erlong had said about the peculiarity of dragon eggs. Perhaps there was a connection?

The Ice Dragon Queen didn't seem to mind Su Ping and Zhu Hong's whispered conversation. After a pause, she spoke, "Interesting, you want to come into contact with the Dragon Gate? Then it's indeed a bit troublesome to recruit for the harem."

Although the Ice Dragon Queen had transformed into a human-shaped girl, she licked her blue-white lips, and her gaze at Su Ping seemed to grow even more fervent.

Su Ping's heart pounded with trepidation.

This mother dragon didn't seem like a good thing at all.

Clearly, after the Ice Dragon Queen's appearance, Su Ping decisively passed on the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

For the sake of his chastity, he absolutely wouldn't take this risk.

However, what Su Ping didn't expect was that after a pause, the Ice Dragon Queen spoke, "The Four Seas Dragon Palace doesn't lack Beastmasters or Breeder Masters. As for powerful Breeders, my father and the various heritage sites are too meticulous. A Breeder like Master Zhu, as long as he has the capability, if any heritage site needs him, he won't refuse as long as he has the time."

"Haina Baichuan?"

Su Ping didn't have time to marvel at the Ice Dragon Queen's peculiarities but her perspective and vision were sound. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Zhu Hong watched Su Ping's expression, and before he could speak, the Ray Saint spoke up, "That's right, the Four Seas Dragon Palace obtained the Vast Ocean Whale Soul from Nie Chuan before. Although the soul is incomplete and the memories aren't entirely intact, most of it is preserved.

Among them is the information about the Hall Rank Advanced Skill that Nie Chuan cultivated. Zhu Hong has been trying to find the right words.]



"Recently, in the Four Seas Dragon Palace, Zhu Hong has been working on restoring this Advanced Skill. If we can successfully cultivate this skill on a dragon, it would be even better!"

A Hall Rank Advanced Skill?

Su Ping couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

In the outside world, how rare are Advanced Skills?

And it seemed that every heritage site had them, and not just one.

As the Dragon Nation's most profound heritage, Dragon City was indeed extraordinary.

However, after this revelation, Su Ping was completely dumbfounded.

He suddenly realized that he didn't even know which heritage site to choose.

They all seemed good, huh?

And they all had some appealing aspects.

Su Ping was intrigued.

As for choosing a dragon companion for his impending advancement to the Sovereign Rank, Su Ping hadn't thought about it either.

He was confident in taming the little crystal dragon, making it willingly become his companion beast.

Regarding the dragon companion's contract, he hadn't really thought it through.

After witnessing such a variety of dragon companions, Su Ping's initial resistance to contracting with dragons had diminished, and the Omnipotent Beast Codex's requirements for dragons were more lenient.

However, Su Ping hadn't decided on which dragon to contract with either.

He was particularly interested in the crystal dragon from the final trial reward.

But the crystal dragon belonged to the Giant Dragon Clan, and if it were a Divine Dragon Clan, he might consider it.

For a Giant Dragon Clan, keeping it as a pet at home was one thing, but contracting was another matter.

Everyone present understood that in the end, it was up to Su Ping's decision.

Lord Leng turned to Su Ping, "Brat, what are your thoughts? Do you have any ideas about these heritage sites?"

Everyone looked at Su Ping, and Su Ping scratched his head.

"Not yet, can I join all of them?"

The few people glanced at this greedy young fellow, but none spoke up.

They couldn't bring themselves to say it.

Others would definitely not be allowed, but this young fellow had earned the recognition of the Holy Dragon Legend! That was the most infuriating part.

Seeing their silence, Su Ping continued, "How about this, after I enter Dragon City and meet the Holy Dragon Legend, I'll ask for his opinion?"

"You little rascal, that's fine too. Since the Holy Dragon Elder holds you in such high regard, you can't let down the Holy Dragon Elder's hopes!"

What Su Ping didn't expect was that Lord Leng didn't say much, nodding and patting Su Ping's shoulder.

A discussion about the heritage sites in Dragon City was halted by the Ice Dragon Queen's arrival and words.

However, it was evident that the Ice Dragon Queen was merely a preparatory trial, and the real challenge Su Ping needed to treat with caution was the Dragon Gate he would finally enter tomorrow morning!
