Chapter 386: The Mystery of Legends! Unfounded Rumors in Dragon City!

Chapter 386: The Mystery of Legends! Unfounded Rumors in Dragon City!

Time Attribute.

The most mysterious, unique, and rare attribute.

Even with Su Ping's current status, it would be difficult to encounter a Time Attribute Companion Beast if he wasn't actively seeking one.

However, Su Ping never expected that such an existence would be in Dragon City.

He now had a better understanding of the Dragon Kingdom's heritage.

As for the proposal from the person before him, Su Ping didn't immediately agree. Instead, he turned to look at the Holy Dragon Legend beside him, who was also watching with great interest.

"Holy Dragon Sir, what do you think?" Su Ping asked.

The man smiled, seemingly surprised that this young man had directed the question to him.

But he didn't hide anything and nodded, "Yes."

This guy was indeed high and mighty.

Su Ping secretly mocked him in his heart.

But it made sense; such an existence couldn't possibly be like an ordinary person, chattering away without end.

A person with a heart as deep as a thunderous lake and a face as calm as a peaceful lake could only be a Supreme General. Such a person would naturally not reveal too much to others.

However, since this person had already agreed, Su Ping decisively chose to follow his arrangement and nodded.

"Candle Elder, from now on, I'm your man!"

Nonsense!

Leng Ao's burial site, the Colorless Dragon City, and the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

Even with a powerful Dragon King, would there be such an existence?

This Candle Dragon was not only an ancient divine beast but also a powerful existence of the legendary ninth tier! With such a thick thigh to hold onto, along with his curiosity about the Time Attribute Dragon Race, Su Ping indeed had nothing to worry about.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad! In Dragon City, not only are there Space Attribute Dragon Seeds, but there are also several of them."

"Indeed, the Time Attribute Dragon Seeds are very rare. Even I, the old dragon, didn't expect that such a strange Companion Beast would have the potential of a Time Attribute Dragon Seed during the Dragon Gate's inspection!"

Su Ping wasn't in a hurry to satisfy his curiosity about the so-called Time Attribute Dragon Seed. Instead, he continued to look at the Holy Dragon Legend.

"Holy Dragon Sir, if I can, may I participate in the research of the other heritage sites in Dragon City?"

The man and the dragon looked at each other, both unsurprised.

They had already guessed that Su Ping, with his insatiable ambition, would make such a choice.

The man smiled again, "Although you have already proven your abilities..."

As he spoke, the void in front of them automatically displayed the scene from a few days ago when Su Ping held the press conference.

Before Su Ping could be amazed by the incredibly realistic projection that seemed to be created at will, the man continued, "But the rules of Dragon City still need to be followed. How about this: as long as you complete the research on Candle Elder's Dragon Seed, you can participate in the research of the other heritage sites."

Su Ping raised his eyebrows, and for the first time, he looked at the old dragon with the crimson dragon head beside him with some doubt.

"Complete the research? Do you mean that your Time Attribute Dragon Seed hasn't returned from the River of Time? What about my dragon?"

Su Ping suddenly felt cheated!

Wasn't it said that there would be a Dragon Companion with the Dragon Emblem?

Even though he hadn't formed a soul contract yet, it was still his!

But now, it hadn't even been created yet? Was this just an empty promise?

Candle Elder finally spoke, "Little guy, don't be impatient! It's still in the River of Time and hasn't returned. I can assure you that it will be the most suitable dragon for you!"

Even the Holy Dragon Legend beside him nodded in agreement, "That's true."

Su Ping believed in the Holy Dragon Legend, but he now had some doubts about this Candle Dragon who was talking nonsense.

What did he mean by 'not yet returned from the River of Time'?

These four words made him feel a bit humorous.

Not to mention the legendary Candle Dragon before him, even if there was a mythical-level Companion Beast with the Time Attribute, could it possibly touch a place that existed only in imagination?

And it was said to have returned from the River of Time?

However, from the sound of it, it seemed reliable?

It seemed that there was indeed such a Companion Beast.

Su Ping slightly anticipated.

And clearly, after obtaining Su Ping's promise, the Candle Dragon was also satisfied.

"In any case, wait until that little guy completes its awakening. Then, you can come to Dragon City again. I'll have to leave first, as Elder Dragon and I still have things to discuss with Ah Xuan."

The Candle Dragon shook his head, and the candle flame on his head flickered slightly before disappearing without a trace.

In the entire room of the pavilion, only Su Ping and the Holy Dragon Legend remained.

Facing the Holy Dragon Legend alone, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Su Ping thought for a moment and then asked, "Holy Dragon Sir, what exactly is this Time Dragon?"

The man smiled slightly and then said, "It's a special Companion Beast that has never appeared in Dragon City..."

As his voice fell, the void boiled again, and a strange shadow, resembling a butterfly but also quite different, emerged from it.

However, just as this shadow appeared, it was instantly extinguished by the man's wave.

The man sighed, "Su Ping, let's change the way we communicate."

"Eh?" Su Ping was taken aback.

The man slowly extended his finger and lightly touched Su Ping's forehead. The next moment, Su Ping felt his consciousness being pulled, similar to entering the Dream Heart.

But compared to the virtual space created by the Dream Heart, this consciousness channel was much more private.

The next moment, Su Ping felt as if he had arrived in a strange world of colorful clouds and mist.

The Holy Dragon Legend remained seated beside him, watching calmly.

Su Ping subconsciously spoke, "What are you..."

"Talking outside is too troublesome. The rules are difficult to control. Understand this, hehe."

The man smiled slightly and said something that Su Ping didn't quite understand.

"Rules... what do you mean?" Su Ping asked in surprise.

The Holy Dragon Legend patiently explained, "A power beyond energy... Generally, only those who reach the Legendary Rank can initially control this power! The Beast Tamer's source power, aside from the soul contract, is the talent formed during awakening.

Talents, after entering the Legendary Rank, will also bring about improvement and transformation. Of course, talents can be enhanced in advance through rare resources like the Heart Fruit, and corresponding meditation techniques can also be developed.

This allows the effects of talents to be more evident. However, usually, these meditation techniques are extremely rare and precious.

Su Ping was stunned by the man's words.

Beastmaster Talent?

In Su Ping's opinion, among all the Beastmaster talents, only True Eye and Mind Communication were truly useful. His own Ten Thousand Spirits Home talent and the somewhat decent Dragon Aura still felt like a waste.

Mind Communication could lead to Words Follow Actions?

And it even had negative effects.

Su Ping had no idea that the man before him was a master of boasting.

However, he wondered if having so many talents was a problem.

For the first time, Su Ping questioned the influence of the Omnipotent Beast Codex's carrying effect on him.

So, he thought for a moment and asked, "Then, is there a Beastmaster who possesses two or even three talents?"

The man smiled and glanced at Su Ping, making his skin crawl. Then, he nodded:

"Of course! Beastmaster talents are very special.

Usually, human Beastmasters complete their awakening by using Awakening Stones, gain talents, and then improve their realm through meditation.

But there are also some with strong innate spiritual power who can awaken without Awakening Stones before the age of eighteen and even contract Beast Companions.

There are also some who naturally awaken to a second talent or even acquire a second talent later on.

For example, one of the rewards for the top rank in this professional assessment is a special resource called 'Spirit Seed' that can help awaken a second talent."

Hmm?

Su Ping was taken aback. Was this reward included in the professional assessment?

But it made sense; this man could decide such matters with a single word.

Spirit Seed?

"Then, are the other talents beneficial or detrimental to the Beastmaster?"

"Of course, they are beneficial. Otherwise, the Spirit Seed wouldn't be so precious! After acquiring a second talent, a Beastmaster's meditation progress will be much faster.

However, there are some limitations. For example, talent improvement is not just about realm and resources but also the Beastmaster's mastery.

Moreover, if the talent's mastery is not up to par, there will be significant restrictions when breaking through certain realm checkpoints.

This restriction is not very noticeable before the Monarch rank but becomes very apparent afterward. The talent's effect on the Beastmaster's meditation will also increase.

At this stage, the various meditation techniques that help Beastmasters control their talents are very precious and are the main reason why ordinary Beastmasters find it difficult to advance beyond the Monarch rank. They rarely have access to these techniques."

Is that so?

Su Ping nodded in understanding, then looked a bit dazed.

Now, what should he do about these talents? No wonder he had broken through to the Commander 9th Tier in just a year of pure meditation, without relying too much on his numerous talents.

But talent improvement...

For others, this is a challenging task, requiring precious resources like the Mind Fruit. However, Su Ping is different due to the Omnipotent Beast Codex. By lighting up the corresponding entries in the codex, he can increase the level of the first talent he lit up.

This is how he advanced his Mind Communication and Spirit Communication talents.

Seeing Su Ping's thoughtful expression, the Holy Dragon Legend smiled but didn't say anything.

He could guess that Su Ping had some secrets or was even a Beastmaster with a one-in-a-million second talent. However, at his level, he didn't need to worry about such things.

He only knew that in Candle Elder's observation, Su Ping's future was not bound by the Heavenly Tomb Mark. From what he could see, Su Ping's spirit was indeed not significantly affected. That was enough.

"Your Dream Heart is very interesting and has great potential."

Su Ping was surprised that the man was talking about Fatty's Dream Heart.

"You know about this?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Hai.

"Of course. Not only me, but even the Mechanical Association has taken notice. I estimate that they will proactively seek you out during your stay in the Imperial Capital."

"Huh?"

Su Ping blinked. He never expected that the Mechanical Association, mentioned by this man, would be interested in his Beast Companion. They must be influential figures if they could be brought up by someone of this caliber.

He initially thought it was just his Beast Companion playing around, but could it attract the attention of such high-level beings?

"In the future, if possible, you can appropriately reduce some costs. This is beneficial for the country and the people."

The Holy Dragon Legend spoke with a hint of restraint. Su Ping felt bitter:

"Holy Dragon Sir, the value of the Mechanical Core is not something I can decide. Even the price of a failed Awakening Core is this high. What can I do?"

The man smiled:

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to lose money."

He didn't elaborate further on this topic, and Su Ping didn't continue pleading poverty. The situation of the Pingyun Group was clear to everyone.

"By the way, has the Water Lord Jiao Ji contacted you again?"

The man changed the topic and asked another question.

Su Ping paused for a moment, then nodded slightly guiltily but didn't respond verbally:

"What do you mean?"

"The struggle between them is an opportunity for the Dragon Kingdom.

During the ancient times, although many Beast Companions were not yet developed, some possessed the bloodline inheritance of ancient times. Within this bloodline memory, there are numerous ancient cultivation methods.

These cultivation methods were lost with the passing of these ancient beings. Getting close to both of them offers a chance to obtain some ancient cultivation methods that have disappeared from history.

Your luck is truly remarkable! The Flame Lord's absolute hatred towards the Dragon Kingdom's Beastmasters, and all Beastmasters in general, is well-known. Gaining the trust of one of them is of great significance.

Therefore, the Dragon Kingdom will mobilize the entire country's strength to help you search for other Flame Lord Fire Spirit messages and assist your Fire Spirit in obtaining more ancestral memory."

(End of Chapter)

Su Ping's eyes lit up.

"As for the Water Lord, in fact, compared to the Flame Lord, the Water Lord's threat is even greater! In ancient times, the individual combat power of the Water Lord was actually stronger than the Flame Lord.

Although they are incompatible, the Water attribute ultimately has a greater advantage over the Fire attribute. At the same time, the Water Lord has mastered a certain Sea God's Will. If it weren't for the human royalty of the Great Qian Dynasty, the outcome of the conflict between Water and Fire would be uncertain."

Is that so?

Hearing the words of the person before him, Su Ping looked at the little flame again, which was broadcasting this sentence to the space inside. The little flame responded angrily with a hiss.

Su Ping nodded.

"The Sea God's Will is..."

"It's a legendary rule power left behind by a myth-level existence. When you reach that level, you'll understand. On Blue Star, there should have been the appearance of a myth-level existence."

On this matter, the man rarely elaborated further and instead continued to bring the topic back to the Water Lord:

"External Avatar is an extremely powerful ancient skill! Now that you've become a Hall Breeder, you should also understand its meaning. I heard about what happened last time from Meng Yao.

The Jiao Ji, as an External Avatar, has developed her own will and wants to break free from the Water Lord's main body. She even wants her will to take the lead!

If she can accomplish this, not only will the Dragon Kingdom gain a legendary-level combat power, but the Endless Sea can also be conquered. Even if she doesn't succeed, I remember the little wolf companion beast you bred seems to have a clone-type skill as well.

In this regard, it will be of great help to you, won't it?"

Su Ping pursed his lips. That would indeed be very helpful.

The problem was that he didn't need it!

He had already perfected the External Avatar skill!

Although this skill was indeed powerful, it wasn't very noticeable on the Overlord-ranked Little Qing at the moment.

But it was enough to prove her infinite potential in the future.

The key was how to explain this?

He could only nod silently, looking determined.

"Rest assured, I won't let you down!"

"Haha, even if you can accomplish this, there's nothing more I can reward you with. However, at that time, you can freely observe the breeding of the Dragon Kingdom's inherited super skills, or even the Hall's super skills."

Su Ping's eyes lit up. For him, this was the best promise.

"You still don't understand. There are many skills, and even if you see the breeding method, it's very difficult to replicate them!"

The Holy Dragon Legend shook his head, understanding Su Ping's enthusiasm.

When he first debuted, he was also an extremely talented breeder. After seeing so many breeding methods, he was also filled with excitement. However, these skills couldn't be copied just by knowing the breeding method.

With a very low success rate, the companion beasts and resources required were extremely rare and precious.

Not just anyone could casually attempt it.

Su Ping smiled. He naturally wouldn't mention his system.

He could only discuss it from this aspect:

"You won't be satisfied until you try it, right? For a skill to make you so emotional, it must be very difficult, right?"

"It's very, very difficult. For example, one of the skills passed down from ancient times, I don't know if you've seen it among the Hall skills, is a super skill from the early days of the Wu Dynasty, inherited by the Xie family, called Skill Grafting."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping nodded.

"I've seen it. It's said that it can copy any skill of the opponent and even enhance the skill level to the Skill Mastery level?"

The Holy Dragon Legend glanced at him with appreciation:

"Yes, that's the skill. The difficulty of breeding this skill is unimaginable. You've met Bing'er, right? She's the Ice Dragon King from the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

Su Ping was stunned again. The man's words were too abrupt.

How did he jump from Skill Grafting to the Ice Dragon King?

But he still nodded: "I've met her. It left a deep impression."

"Bing'er's personality is indeed a bit naughty, but her talent is truly remarkable. She surpassed the Sea Dragon King and became the Dragon King with the most potential to break through to the Legendary rank in the Four Seas Dragon Palace. Do you know why?"

"I don't know."

"I mentioned before that Mind Communication, which is related to some rule power.

The basic requirement for promotion to the Legendary rank is to perceive and master a little of this rule power. So, do you know how a companion beast can master rule power?"

Su Ping shook his head again.

This field was no longer within his reach.

"Haha, it's simple. Enhance the skill level of the corresponding attribute to the Skill Mastery level, and you'll have mastered the rule power derived from this skill!

The stronger the skill, the stronger the rule power it masters when reaching this level. The greater the chances and assistance for breaking through the Legendary rank and its various stages in the future!"

Bing'er has two Ice-type skills at the Skill Mastery level and one Water-type skill at the Skill Mastery level. Although they aren't super skills, the chances are already very high!"

Su Ping pursed his lips. "So, that Skill Grafting..."

The man laughed.

"Haha, that's enough. Not only the External Avatar of the Water Lord, but also the Time Dragon Seed of Candle Elder, and the Elite Troop of the Heavenly Tomb. Won't the pressure be too much for you?"

Su Ping shook his head. "Rest assured, I have confidence!"

"Very good."

After the promise, Su Ping was still curious and asked:

"Holy Dragon Legend, what exactly is that Time Dragon Seed?"

The Holy Dragon Legend shook his head.

"It's very, very special. It's a mutated form of an originally ordinary companion beast. By chance, it underwent the Dragon Gate Appraisal and was found to have the potential for Dragon Transformation, and the difficulty of the transformation is not high.

So, your main research direction later will be to research how this ordinary companion beast mutated into the subsequent mutated form.

I heard from Cold Pride and Ah Sang that you're very interested in mutated companion beasts. All your contracted companion beasts are mutated forms.

The Dragon City's inherited lands, so they prepared the most rare and special mutated Dragon Seeds to attract you.

That's why Candle Elder and I said that this is the most suitable companion beast for you! How about it?"

This time, Su Ping blinked, feeling a bit lost.

So, it was like this?

A mutated form of a companion beast has the potential for Dragon Transformation?

No, no!

What he needed to think about now was why such untrue rumors were spreading in the world!

When did he ever like mutated companion beasts?

He, Su Ping, the breeder, had made a vow that after Little Flame, his next companion beast would definitely not be a mutated one!
