Chapter 384: Yan Luo's Three Techniques! Fantasy Manifestation! Dragon City's Heritage!
Chapter 384: Yan Luo's Three Techniques! Fantasy Manifestation! Dragon City's Heritage!
Indeed, the Dragon Soul Club is worthy of its reputation as a top-tier club, recognized by numerous Archangel Rank individuals and even Master Zhu.
Just walking from the helipad to the Skill Power Testing Hall, Su Ping couldn't help but be amazed.
Various facilities and venues were on display.
There were even some special facilities exclusively designed for Elemental Beast pets.
The environment was rich with Elemental energy, forming energy particles.
Additionally, there were numerous play areas dedicated to pets, including the simulated outdoor hunting environment that Su Ping had been longing for. This hunting environment was the secret realm entrance that Su Ping had wanted to bring to the club's estate.
After a quick glance at the Dragon Soul Club's estate, Su Ping realized what his All-Beast Heart was lacking. No wonder the Imperial Capital, being the center of the Dragon Nation, had such a top-tier club like the Dragon Soul Club.
The facilities, resources, and environment used in this club might even be among the best in the world.
Although Lin Hai is the center of the Jianghai region, it is still just one province, and there are many things that Su Ping has not had the chance to see.
With this thought, Su Ping made up his mind. When he has the time, he must not waste his visit to the Imperial Capital. He plans to visit the Dragon Soul Club and other Breeder bases to inspect their work. After all, he is now a Hall-level Breeder, and it is only natural for him to check on the work of other Breeders.
Following Wang Delong, the large group finally arrived at the Dragon Soul Club, a place dedicated to testing and sparring.
Su Ping felt that the combat arena in his All-Beast Heart, inherited from the Wind Heart, was already quite large.
Especially the central arena, which could accommodate combat between Overlord-tier Beastmasters, covered an area of nearly two thousand square meters.
It was large enough to accommodate battles between giant pets.
But now, facing an internal combat arena that exceeded two square kilometers, a space the size of a small neighborhood, Su Ping was truly amazed. The height of this giant arena was approximately ten stories tall.
And this was just the sparring platform.
There was also a massive Skill Testing Device capable of withstanding the impact of Archangel-rank pet skills, showcasing the club's immense wealth and power.
Noticing Su Ping's astonished gaze, Wang Delong quickly explained:
"Forgive me, Beastmaster Su. The 'Si Zi Crystal' is an extremely precious resource, so I could only slightly expand the arena here, which might seem laughable to some."
Su Ping blinked, as he was never one to shy away from asking questions. He inquired directly, "Si Zi Crystal?"
Zhu Hong, standing beside him, smiled and said, "A rare and special resource of the Holy Spirit Rank, it has a unique effect, emitting a kind of Si Zi light that causes all Beastmasters and their pets to shrink in size according to their cultivation realm.
Overlord-tier and lower Beastmasters and their pets, no matter how large they are, will instantly become the size of an ant when affected by the Si Zi light.
Even the power of pet skills can be reduced, an incredible effect. However, the limitations are significant. As soon as they leave the Si Zi Crystal's influence, they will immediately return to their original size.
The energy outside the crystal cannot affect those within the Si Zi Crystal, and the energy inside cannot affect those outside. This unique material is used in the highest-level trial and sparring arenas.
Even Holy Spirit Rank Beastmasters and their pets can battle within without worrying about causing destruction. In Dragon City, there is a Si Zi Crystal Arena that utilizes twelve complete Si Zi Crystals."
Su Ping took a sharp breath.
He was amazed at the wondrous effects that various special resources could bring about in this world, and at the same time, he sighed at the wealth and power of Dragon City.
However, a thought suddenly struck him:
"Can this sparring arena support battles between Legend-rank Beastmasters and their pets?"
Zhu Hong shook his head decisively:
"Su Ping, Holy Spirit Rank and Legend Rank are two different concepts. Beastmasters and pets of such caliber, unless they are like the ancient conflict between light and darkness, disregarding the world and Blue Star's energy field,
Otherwise, there is a better sparring arena! One that doesn't require any resources and is accessible to everyone."
"Oh? Where?"
Su Ping was genuinely curious.
Zhu Hong pointed upwards.
Su Ping looked up at the white ceiling, perplexed.
Then he realized:
"Space?"
Zhu Hong nodded.
Su Ping blinked again.
Then he decided not to think further and focused on the present.
He hadn't even seen the Si Zi Crystal, so how could he possibly consider space? However, Su Ping's mind began to wander, as was his habit.
Could a space-based resource that shrinks size be used to cultivate a skill that reduces size? Of course, this in itself wasn't groundbreaking. Su Ping assumed that some pets might already possess similar skills, like the paper body compression of origami beasts.
If there is a skill to shrink, is there one to enlarge? To increase body size?
Su Ping suddenly felt a sense of deja vu.
It was a scene of a monkey and a strange man with a three-pronged, double-edged sword, both growing taller.
Controlling the heavens and commanding the earth?
Su Ping quickly shook his head again, trying to dismiss this unlikely image.
However, the picture remained in his mind, leaving him with an itchy feeling.
If there is a space resource that can shrink, is there one that can enlarge? Even if there isn't, what is the principle behind the Si Zi Crystal?
According to the Dragon Nation's ancient teachings, besides the Five Elements, there is another essential theory—Yin and Yang.
Generally, things are binary opposites. If there is shrinking, there should also be enlargement, right?
Although Su Ping himself wasn't sure if this Yin and Yang theory applied in this context.
However, now wasn't the time to delve into these questions. Su Ping simply buried this thought in his heart and finally turned his attention to the present.
He hadn't decided which heritage site to choose when entering Dragon City.
Now, the path of the Holy Dragon, as mentioned by Master Zhu, seemed enticing. At the same time, Su Ping, being a Spiritual Attribute Beastmaster, was also drawn to the Spiritual Attribute path.
Therefore, the Five-Color City and Emerald Dreamland were among Su Ping's preferred choices.
However, these individuals were willing to showcase the strength of their Dragon Race heritage, and Su Ping was naturally pleased to witness it.
Leng Ao was still Leng Ao. After arriving, he didn't waste any words and directly extended his hand.
The next moment, the radiance of the entire trial field seemed to dim instantly.
Then, an extremely eerie sound, completely different from a normal dragon's roar, echoed.
Simultaneously, a pair of crimson eyes appeared.
Ghost Dragon!
Ghost Dragons and Bone Dragons are relatively common among the Necromancy Dragon Race. The former belongs to the Divine Dragon Race, while the latter is from the Giant Dragon Race.
In the darkness, the massive body was like a chilling ghostly shadow lurking in nothingness. All that could be seen were the crimson eyes and the chilling murderous aura within them.
At the same time, the temperature in the air dropped several times, making it bone-chillingly cold.
"Xiao Ping, the Ghost Dragon is a Necromancy Divine Dragon. As the most powerful Dragon Soul among the Dragon Race, the Ghost Dragon's abilities are also different from those of ordinary dragons. It is almost completely immune to all non-energy attacks. Moreover, in the Bone Burial Site, there is also an extremely powerful Super Tier skill heritage belonging to the Ghost Dragon!"
As he spoke, Leng Ao directly looked at this Ghost Dragon and, smiling at everyone, said:
"Old Ghost, the Ghost God Descends!"
"Roar!"
An ear-piercing dragon's roar sounded.
On the Ghost Dragon named Old Ghost, a crimson explosion erupted.
In an instant, this Ghost Dragon, hidden in nothingness like a ghost, seemed to be stained with fresh blood all over its body.
Terrifying energy fluctuations spread.
"The Ghost God Descends can significantly enhance the Ghost Dragon's combat power. At the same time, during this period, the Ghost Dragon will almost never die, and the skill's power will be greatly increased. It's a state-class Super Tier skill. Not only that..."
Leng Ao waved his hand:
"Old Ghost, Unchanging Rope!"
"Roar!"
The Ghost Dragon roared, and on its body, a crimson beam of light suddenly penetrated and directly tied itself to the skill testing instrument.
'Crack!'
A sound that made everyone's teeth sour, as Wang Delong looked on with a pained gaze.
The seemingly sturdy skill testing instrument emitted a crisp sound:
"Testing complete. Skill power unknown. Death-attribute special skill. Upon contact, it has an instant death effect on all living beings with souls..."
As the test results appeared, many people in the room gasped in shock.
A Death-attribute skill! And the activation speed was so fast that it was impossible to defend against!
However, this was just the beginning! At such a young age, Leng Ao was highly regarded in the Dragon Country by that person, so it was natural that he possessed extraordinary abilities.
"Old Ghost, Judge's Pen!"
The Ghost Dragon's crimson body suddenly exploded.
The next moment, the crimson beams of light, like a series of lightning bolts, flashed rapidly.
It seemed to draw out the life force and impose it on the Ghost Dragon. However, no effect was visible?
But there was more.
"Hell Command!"
As the Ghost Dragon's figure condensed like a ghost god, a crimson beam of light, several times thicker than the previous one, suddenly emerged from above the skill testing instrument.
No one could dodge such an attack, and even same-level beasts and beast tamers couldn't resist it!
However, this deadly attack didn't land, allowing Wang Delong to breathe a sigh of relief. If it had hit, it wasn't just the skill testing instrument that would be destroyed; it was questionable whether the entire venue could withstand it.
Thinking of this, Wang Delong looked at Su Ping. Why was this young man still hesitating? Wasn't such a heritage powerful enough? The others also felt indignant.
This old fellow was indeed bringing out his ultimate skills.
Everyone looked at Leng Ao with apprehension. Such means were indeed worthy of this person.
These three special skills combined were not unheard of, but all three skills had reached the perfect level, and their auras were very different. The death-attribute aura was so thick that it seemed a bit exaggerated.
Leng Ao didn't seem to care at all and smiled slightly:
"Unchanging Rope, Judge's Pen, Hell, these are the skills inherited from the Bone Burial Site!
If these three skills were not three separate skills but instead a combination of three, they would likely be quite powerful among Super Tier skills! However, these three skills are extremely special. Currently, the Bone Burial Site has not found a medium or the final puzzle piece to combine them.
But as rare Death-attribute breeding skills, each use of these three skills, as long as they hit, will greatly increase the probability of instant death effect on the opponent. Hell, the ghost god is hard to save!"
Are there such skills? Combination skills? And the combination skills haven't even become Super Tier? Missing a medium?
Su Ping pursed his lips. He had to admit that he was also quite interested. Others might not know, but he did. Su Ping had every reason to believe in his golden finger. If he could obtain the heritage breeding method for these skills, perhaps he could perfect them using general experience!
Moreover, these were genuine rare Death-attribute skills.
Su Ping nodded.
Before he could express his opinion, Zhu Hong smiled slightly:
"When the Ghost God Descends, resistance to Light-attribute and Life-attribute skills is slightly reduced, and they can be restrained by these skills. Elder Gui Sheng's words were a bit biased."
Leng Ao gave this old fellow a disapproving look.
However, he didn't deny anything.
"Since it's like that, let's see Zhu Master's demonstration?"
"Su Ping and Da Huang are quite familiar. Let's have Yun Sheng make a move first? Speaking of which, Yun Sheng usually doesn't like to show off. The most she displays is her Fire Phoenix. I really don't know how powerful the Spirit Dragon is!"
Zhu Hong waved his hand, and Leng Ao pouted.
Yun Sheng didn't mind. She extended her hand, and ripples of void spread out.
The next moment, a strange figure appeared in everyone's field of vision.
This was indeed a very strange dragon.
Unlike the previous Divine Dragon Race dragons,
this dragon had a swan-like slender neck and a graceful dragon head. At the same time, its body was like that of the Giant Dragon Race, but it had four wings and its entire body flashed with five-colored light, like an enlarged strange butterfly.
Spirit Dragon! A special Dragon Race of Life and Spirit attributes.
Even in the Emerald Dreamland, this dragon seemed to be rarely seen?
"The Emerald Dreamland mainly focuses on the four attributes of Light, Life, Wood, and Spirit. It primarily features Spirit Dragons, Phoenix Dragons, Fairy Dragons, and Light Dragons. Among them, there are five Super Tier skill heritages, two in Life, and one each in Wood, Light, and Spirit."
In the Emerald Dreamland, Lan Meng had mastered the life-attribute super-tier skill called 'Life Sharing'. It's a very special life-attribute super-tier skill with both offensive and defensive capabilities."
The sprite dragon raised its head and let out a sound akin to the low cooing of a phoenix.
Suddenly, a beam of light connected Su Ping and the sprite dragon.
"The first effect of Life Sharing is that it can connect with many friendly beasts and beast tamers. Lan Meng's healing skills will have approximately one-tenth to one-third of their effectiveness shared with all linked beasts and tamers, without any additional energy consumption!"
Su Ping stared in disbelief at this revelation.
As expected, a beam of life energy flashed on the sprite dragon, and the next moment, Su Ping felt a warm current flowing through the life-sharing connection, filling his body with strength.
"The second effect, as you might have guessed, is that it can also establish a connection with enemies. Any injuries I receive will be shared with the enemy, but the healing effect will not work on them. I can continuously heal my injuries, while the enemy will experience the same pain."
"Of course, this skill also has its limitations. Life Sharing among allies is unrestricted, but for enemies, their injuries can only be shared if their blood or soul essence is used as a medium. Additionally, the difference in cultivation levels cannot be ignored."
Su Ping was impressed by this skill's versatility, which aligned with his understanding of some super-tier skills.
The Cloud Saint's explanation was comprehensive and clear. For Su Ping, aside from the choice of dragon beasts, the most important aspect was these super-tier skills. The Emerald Dreamland's mental-attribute super-tier skill was a prime example:
"Regarding mental-attributes, Lan Meng's proficiency is relatively average. However, I'm aware of the Emerald Dreamland's mental-attribute super-tier skill, which is called 'Fantasy Manifestation'. Its effect is simple: it can manifest corresponding beasts through mental imagination and bring them into reality!
"This skill also has its limitations. First, the manifested beasts must be those that the user has encountered and is extremely familiar with. Second, the manifested beasts' cultivation level cannot exceed the user's."
Su Ping licked his lips, feeling genuinely tempted.
Fantasy Manifestation sounded impressive and reliable. However...
Su Ping asked again:
"Senior Cloud Saint, can Fantasy Manifestation only be cultivated on dragons?"
As expected, the Cloud Saint nodded:
"Fantasy Manifestation is an exclusive skill of the Fairy Dragon. Even for mental-attribute sprite dragons, there's currently no way to master it. However, Su Ping, if you join the Emerald Dreamland, you might be able to give it a try."
It was evident that everyone could see Su Ping's interest.
While others might not know, Leng Ao was well aware of this young man's intentions. He had a clear understanding of this mischievous kid's plans.
His peculiar mechanical core was of the mental attribute!
He had never heard of a mental-attribute mechanical beast before.
It seemed highly unlikely that a mechanical core could master a super-tier skill exclusive to the Fairy Dragon.
However, this mischievous kid couldn't be judged by common sense.
Leng Ao quickly spoke up:
"Master Zhu, where's your yellow dragon? The Cloud Saint has made it clear; it's your turn now, right?"
Master Zhu smiled slightly and was about to summon the yellow dragon that had merged with the wood attribute, but suddenly his expression changed. His old face stiffened slightly as he turned to Su Ping:
"Su Ping, since you're so familiar with Big Yellow, let's skip it. In any case, the Five-Color City has conducted extensive research on pure element dragons like the Saint Dragon. Joining the Five-Color City is definitely the right choice for you!"
Everyone in the room gave Master Zhu a strange look, wondering what he meant. But soon enough, they understood.
Within two seconds, hurried footsteps approached from outside.
A girl with an appearance as strange as Qin Xiaoxue's entered, muttering:
"Here I am, Xiao Yao. Why didn't you just come directly to Dragon City?"
Su Ping was taken aback. Was this girl also a Holy Spirit-level being?
It was clear that she wasn't.
The girl looked around at the many people in the room, her eyes landing on Master Zhu:
"Master Zhu, you're here too. Where's Ah Huang? It just ascended to the Holy Spirit level, and it's supposed to play with me. But if it loses again, it promised to become a member of my future harem."
Master Zhu's lips curled slightly, unbothered by the girl's question. He bowed respectfully:
"Greetings, Ice Dragon King!"
Su Ping was surprised to see that not only Master Zhu but everyone in the room, including Leng Ao, seemed unaware of the identity of the newcomer. They all followed Master Zhu in greeting:
"Greetings, Ice Dragon King."
Su Ping blinked in confusion.
Before him was a blue-haired girl with snow-white pupils and translucent skin.
Ice Dragon King?
But the girl didn't seem to mind Su Ping's scrutinizing gaze. She turned to the Ray Saint beside Su Ping and asked:
"Xiao Meng Yao, is this the genius beast tamer?"
Meng Yao nodded, looking like a loyal dog:
"Ice Sister, this is Su Ping. Su Ping's Rainbow Coral Worm, after receiving the Rainbow Dragon cultivation heritage from our Four Seas Dragon Palace, quickly developed a brand-new evolution in a short time, and its potential is immense!"
Rainbow Dragon.
Meng Yao had mentioned this to everyone before. The fact that Su Ping could develop such a corresponding dragon evolution demonstrated his talent in this field.
The Ice Dragon King's snow-white pupils locked onto Su Ping,
and she smiled: "Handsome human, do you want to be my concubine?"
Su Ping's eyelids twitched.
What was this so-called Ice Dragon King's problem?
"Handsome human, my strength surpasses your imagination!"
The Ice Dragon King showed no concern for the ambiguity of her words, her face full of arrogance.
Finally, the Ray Saint spoke up:
"Ice Sister, Su Ping is different."
"Ice Dragon King didn't care at all and waved his hand dismissively, "What's the difference?"
Ray Saint thought for a moment and looked around; most of the people present were not outsiders.
Qin Xiaoxue and the other two, standing at the outskirts of the trial arena, finally spoke up, "Ice Sister, Holy Dragon Legend mentioned that this time, when we go to Dragon City, if Su Ping can remain steadfast in his will, he can try to let Su Ping come into contact with the Dragon Gate."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was visibly evident that everyone present was taken aback.
Including Su Ping.
What is the Dragon Gate?
He vaguely remembered hearing about it once before; it seemed that in Dragon City, the birth of the Dragon Race was related to this Dragon Gate?
As for the other details, he didn't know much.
However, for everyone present, the significance was evidently completely different.
But at this moment, no one spoke up again.
Even the Ice Dragon King's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Su Ping took this opportunity to quietly ask Zhu Hong, who was standing next to him, "Master Zhu, this..."
This Ice Dragon King seemed to have some issues with his mind?
Zhu Hong smiled, "Ice Dragon King is currently a Dragon King-level existence in the Four Seas Dragon Palace. He is a blood relative of the Sea Dragon King and is hailed as the most promising candidate to ascend to the legendary Holy Spirit Dragon King rank."
Zhu Hong paused and continued, "To be precise, from a certain perspective, this Ice Dragon King has already stepped into the legendary rank with one foot. The other foot is also raised, and all that's left is the final step of landing."
Su Ping's pupils contracted, and he dared not underestimate this eccentric human-shaped mother dragon any longer.
However, blood relative?
Aren't the Dragon Race asexual?
Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he thought about what Qin Erlang had said regarding the peculiarity of the Dragon Race's eggs. Perhaps there was a connection?
The Ice Dragon King didn't seem to mind Su Ping and Zhu Hong's whispered conversation. After a moment of hesitation, she spoke, "Interesting, you have a chance to come into contact with the Dragon Gate? Then it would indeed be a bit troublesome if you wanted to add me to your harem."
Although the Ice Dragon King, in her human form, licked her blue-white lips, her gaze towards Su Ping seemed to become even more fervent.
Su Ping felt a chill run down his spine.
This mother dragon didn't seem like a good person at all.
Clearly, after the appearance of the Ice Dragon King, Su Ping had decisively rejected the Four Seas Dragon Palace.
For the sake of his chastity, he would never take such a risk.
However, what Su Ping didn't expect was that after a moment of hesitation, the Ice Dragon King spoke up, "The Four Seas Dragon Palace doesn't lack Beast Tamers or Breeder Masters. As for exceptional Breeders, my father and the various Heritage Sites are too meticulous. A Breeder like Master Zhu, as long as his abilities are sufficient, will not refuse if any Heritage Site needs his services."
"This time, with the Ocean Embracing Hundred Rivers of Nie Chuan, why make things complicated with the Dragon Soul Rebirth quota in the Imperial Capital? As for taking action, forget it. The Imperial Capital is our territory, and I don't want to be scolded by my father again over such a trivial matter.
So, handsome human, don't feel burdened. Just choose the Dragon Race you're interested in."
"Ocean Embracing Hundred Rivers?"
Before Su Ping could marvel at the Ice Dragon King's peculiarities, Su Ping could marvel at the Ice Dragon King's peculiarities, he was also impressed by her perspective and vision.
Zhu Hong, seeing Su Ping's expression, didn't get a chance to speak as Ray Saint spoke up again, "That's right. The Four Seas Dragon Palace obtained the soul of Nie Chuan's Ocean Spirit, although the soul is incomplete and the memories aren't entirely intact, most of it has been preserved.
Among them is information about the Hall-level Super Skill, Ocean Embracing Hundred Rivers, that Nie Chuan cultivated. Master Zhu has been at the Four Seas Dragon Palace recently, trying to restore this Super Skill. If it can be successfully cultivated on a Dragon, that would be even better!"
A Hall-level skill?
Su Ping couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
In the outside world, Super Skills are incredibly rare.
But here, it seems like every Heritage Site has one.
Dragon City, as the largest city in Dragon Country, indeed holds many treasures.
After this revelation, Su Ping was completely bewildered.
He didn't even know which Heritage Site to choose.
They all seemed pretty good, right?
Moreover, each one had some appealing and intriguing inheritances.
As for choosing a Dragon Beast as his contract companion upon his imminent promotion to the Monarch rank, Su Ping hadn't given it much thought either.
Although the little fire dragon was a bit unruly, Su Ping was confident he could tame it and make it willingly become his companion.
Regarding the contract with the Dragon Beast, he hadn't really thought about it.
Despite witnessing so many diverse Dragon Beasts, Su Ping's initial resistance to contracting with a Dragon Beast had diminished, and the requirements for Dragon Beasts in the Omnipotent Beast Codex were also lower compared to other companion beasts.
However, Su Ping hadn't considered which type of Dragon Beast to contract with.
He was quite interested in the crystal dragon that was the final trial reward.
But the crystal dragon was a giant dragon, and if it were a divine dragon, he might have considered it.
For a giant dragon, he could just keep it at home, and he hadn't thought about contracting with it yet.
Everyone present understood that ultimately, it was up to Su Ping's decision.
Leng Ao turned his head and looked at Su Ping, "Kid, what are your thoughts on these various Heritage Sites?"
Everyone's gaze fell on Su Ping, who scratched his head and said, "Not yet, can I join all of them?"
They glanced at this greedy kid with disapproval but didn't speak up.
It was impossible for outsiders, but this kid had earned the recognition of Holy Dragon Legend, and he might just have a chance! That was the most frustrating part.
Seeing their silence, Su Ping spoke up, "How about I wait until I enter Dragon City and meet with Holy Dragon Legend? Maybe he can give me some advice?"
"You kid, that's a good idea. Since Holy Dragon Legend holds you in such high regard, you shouldn't disappoint his expectations!"
To Su Ping's surprise, Leng Ao didn't say much more. He nodded and patted Su Ping's shoulder.
The discussion about the Heritage Sites in Dragon City came to a halt, but the real challenge for Su Ping was the upcoming entry into Dragon City the next morning!
