Chapter 405: Killing in the Dream Realm! Breaking Through Meng Huang Liang's Defenses!
[The Top 12 Emerge! The Top Ranks are Dominated by the Academies!](https://www.example.com/top12)
[The outstanding candidates from the High Academy occupy the top 12 spots, indicating that the future of education reform may lie in the relatively widespread educational resources of the High Academy!](https://www.example.com/highacademy)
[Su Ping, Shen Fu, are the only candidates from the provincial exams, let's analyze in detail why the candidates from the provincial exams are not as good as the academy beastmasters?](https://www.example.com/provincialexams)
[The final trial is over, and the top three, as well as the top ten and top twenty rankings, will be decided on the third day! Who are your top three picks?](https://www.example.com/top3)
[...]
These headlines flooded the entire internet, capturing the attention of the entire nation.
However, at this moment, no one disturbed Su Ping.
In recent days, even Uncle Guan at home hasn't called again to report on the possible situations within the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
As for Li Shu, Dong Muchuan, and the others, unless Su Ping initiates contact, almost no one would disturb him at this time.
The upcoming battles are all of utmost importance.
It's worth noting that with just one more victory, there's a 66% chance of obtaining the dragon pet reward for entering the top six!
Although Su Ping has more opportunities to acquire dragon pets than others, this is obviously unknown to outsiders.
Thinking of this, Su Ping glanced at the posts and news that popped up as soon as he opened his phone, casually clicking on one.
[The Top 12 List, along with the Abilities and Characteristics of Their Pets, and Analysis of Their Beastmaster Combat Styles!](https://www.example.com/top12analysis)
[The final trial is complete, and the top 12 are officially announced!
First is Su Ping from Jianghai Province, and Shen Fu from Qilu Province, who are also the only two non-academy beastmasters in the top 12.
Third is Ye Zhou from Maddo Academy, and Qin Xiaoxue, the third-place finisher from Maddo Academy.
Chen Zhan, the first-place finisher from the provincial exams and the son of the Yuan Sheng family, is also the first-place finisher from the Capital City Academy. As one of the highest-level academies in the country, the Capital City Academy consistently ranks first among the high academies. With such results, it's likely that the Yuan Sheng family and the other academy directors won't be satisfied.
First is Sang Sheng from Tianfu Academy, who successfully advanced to the top 12 with the Kung Fu Panda pet that was only developed last year.
Qin Feng from Xijing Academy and Xie Qiong, the second-place finisher, both made it into the top 12. Xijing Academy has been on a strong run recently, showing potential to surpass Maddo and Capital City Academies.
Pan Xiaoyu from South Sea Academy demonstrated impressive strength when facing off against Dong Muchuan, the second-place finisher from Maddo Academy.
Following closely behind is Mu Hanchan, known as the Ice Goddess from Bingyuan Academy.
Zhao Ling from Shanhe Academy was eliminated, but the previously less notable fourth-place finisher, An Hong, advanced to the top 12, which was a surprising upset for everyone!
Additionally, Feng Rong, the first-place finisher from Yingling Academy, which is ranked last among the eight academies, narrowly defeated his opponent to secure a spot in the top 12.
First, let's take a look at Su Ping, the Beastmaster Trainer...](https://www.example.com/siping)
Su Ping quickly skimmed through this news article.
It's fair to say that this media outlet has some credibility.
Their analysis of the top 12 candidates is indeed spot-on.
This time, the promotions seem to be quite evenly distributed, perhaps due to the random nature of the trials.
According to previous estimates,
Maddo and Capital City Academies were expected to occupy half of the spots.
However, the results surprised everyone, with only three candidates making it.
On the other hand, the remaining academies, especially the least notable Yingling Academy, managed to secure a spot in the top 12.
Su Ping had also heard about Yingling Academy before.
The reason is simple; although each academy has its own specialties,
For instance, South Sea Academy excels in water-based and aquatic pets, Bingyuan Academy specializes in ice-based and elemental pets,
Xijing Academy focuses on tool-based pets and some unique pets.
Despite their specialties, it doesn't mean they are lacking in other areas; on the contrary, expanding into various fields is a continuous effort for all academies.
Maddo and Capital City Academies, as the two largest high academies, are even more inclusive.
However, among the eight academies, Yingling Academy stands out as a unique one.
It is located in Yunmeng Province, right next to the famous Yunmeng Lake.
Additionally, there is the Xuanming Ancient Battlefield.
This is the largest ancient battlefield site left in the country to date.
Its area covers almost half of a province, combined with Yunmeng Lake, making Yunmeng Province one of the most unique inland provinces.
Yingling Academy was established based on this unique location.
Therefore, their pet research is more singular and purer than any other academy, focusing solely on undead pets.
Additionally, they have basic tool-based pets like the Sword of Decay and the Blade of Ruin, which overlap with Xijing Academy to some extent.
This time, the top 12 list has caused some complaints about favoritism.
However, it's also undeniable that every candidate who made it to the top 12 has genuine skills.
Even Su Ping, with the help of this post and the accompanying videos of his opponents' battles, has gained a lot of valuable insights. At the same time, the poster also pointed out Su Ping's weaknesses.
Yes, it's an old issue that's been discussed time and time again. Compared to the three pets of other opponents, Su Ping is at a disadvantage with only two pets to defend against them.
It's true that beastmasters usually focus on quality over quantity when it comes to pet cultivation. But having one less pet than others is still a significant challenge.
Relying solely on Qing to block increasingly powerful attacks, the poster clearly doesn't think it's feasible.
Su Ping just smiled and didn't mind.
In fact, everyone knows that the top twelve contestants in this competition have backup plans.
They all have secret techniques that they don't use in front of others.
Like Pan Xiaoyu's Vast Ocean.
The Grand Hall Ultra Skill is a real game-changer, a secret technique that can truly decide the outcome.
But has Su Ping ever fully utilized all of his pets' abilities?
Not to mention, in fact, Qin Xiaoxue, Sang Sheng, and Qin Erlong all know that when Qian Yi activates his Five Elements Rotation, he doesn't just stand still in one place!
He's not unable to make a move!
Instead, he can complete the rotation during combat, eventually reaching the peak of the Heavenly Cycle Pentacle Fire.
Outsiders really think that breaking through Qing's defense and interrupting Qian Yi's charging will guarantee victory.
But if Qing can't control the opponent's three pets, Qian Yi will give them a surprise!
However, can anyone really break through Qing's defense so easily?
Su Ping doesn't think it's that simple.
Even now, almost no one can force Qing to use all of her abilities!
From start to finish, Qing's abilities are all based on the Green Demon Body's Green Demon Poison!
The Exoself's abilities haven't been revealed at all!
Of course, Su Ping also knows that back when Jianghai was exposed to the Exoself's abilities, he believed that other opponents would be prepared.
But if the Exoself is so easy to guard against, then it's not a Grand Hall Ultra Skill.
This ancient Ultra Skill is powerful in combat,
But its true strength lies in its unparalleled battlefield synergy and rapid improvement outside of battle.
From start to finish, the Exoself hasn't been fully utilized, at most, it just secretly poisoned the split shadows.
It's important to know that the three Exoselfs are no different from Qing's original body.
Thinking of this, Su Ping shook his head.
He lay on the bed and spoke again:
"Fifi, how's Meng Huangliang doing?"
He's been busy with the final exams these past few days, so he hasn't paid much attention to Meng Huangliang.
However, the exams are important, and Meng Huangliang's situation is equally crucial.
Fifi's mechanical voice quickly responded:
"Master, in the past few days, Player 0062 has been entering the Dream Core, and his improvement and progress have been very fast!"
"Hmm?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar~~
Su Ping was slightly stunned:
"Could it be that his level has caught up with the top players? I remember you saying that the gameplay of the Dream Core is seasonal, right? And level improvement is accompanied by more dungeon challenges, so fast?"
Fifi 'shook his head':
"That's not the case, this player's level is still at one, but his improvement and progress are mainly in practicing his combat skills and proficiency with the assassin class's daggers!
According to the rules of the Dream Core, players can gain insights into skills within the game, and in the past few days, this player has gained insight into three skills.
One of them requires reaching level ten before spending 100 gold coins to learn."
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
As expected, Meng Huangliang's talent is indeed exceptional.
Thinking of this, Su Ping once again recalled the dream skill he saw with Qin Xiaoxue before the competition.
Every night during his free time, he gathered some information about this.
He also came up with a few ideas for the dream skill.
However, it's still difficult.
Thinking of this, Su Ping didn't rush to rest but instead put on his Dream Core helmet.
He wanted to try to contact Meng Huangliang in the Dream Core.
...
【Player 'Su Ping' requests to add you as a friend. Do you accept?】
In the beginner village, Meng Huangliang, who was practicing with a training dummy while wielding a dagger, paused slightly, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
He didn't resist entering the Dream Core again.
He's still human, and even with strong psychological suggestions, it's impossible to completely abandon emotions and desires or discard all thoughts and self.
He still wants to bring a crucial secret back to Dragon Nation, back to his country.
So, he can't die!
Not resisting entering doesn't mean Meng Yan truly believes in the reality of this world.
Despite adopting the pseudonym Su Ping, this individual, whose real name remains unknown, has managed to contact me. Since then, my life has taken a different course.
However, my self-imposed isolation remains unwavering.
When this seemingly intrusive name appeared, Meng Yan gave it some thought and eventually agreed.
Compared to the countless generic intruders, this person who entered my dream world seemed genuinely different.
[Player 'Su Ping' requests to team up. Do you agree to join the team?]
(Note: After teaming up, you and your teammates can enter the dungeon together. Additionally, your teammates can access the private village where you reside for online play.)
Meng Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he chose to accept the request.
The next moment, a figure accompanied by an electromagnetic stream appeared beside Meng Yan.
Su Ping's face didn't differ much from his real-life appearance, as the Dream Heart technology could recognize real faces.
"Senior Meng, it's been a few days since we last met. I've been busy with the final trials of the professional assessment, and I haven't had the chance to contact you. My apologies!"
Meng Huangliang put down his dagger, glanced at Su Ping, and smiled, saying, "Congratulations! I heard from Ah Mei's broadcast that you made it to the top twelve, and you're the youngest among them!"
Su Ping smiled slightly but didn't respond.
He knew that Meng Huangliang was just being polite, and he didn't believe in the so-called professional assessment or the top twelve.
All the respect and admiration from this person were unnecessary, and it was better to get straight to the point.
So, Su Ping spoke directly, "Senior Meng, I've had an idea about dream skills recently. Would you mind listening to it and assessing its chances of success?"
Meng Yan opened his mouth, his eyebrows furrowing, but he sighed and said, "Never mind. This dream world is so boring that it's rare to have an interesting idea. What's on your mind?"
Su Ping hurriedly replied, "It's like this. Regarding entering dreams and counter-dreaming, and the frequency of dream mental waves in the dream skills, I understand that even if I ask, Senior Meng, you won't tell me. So, I'm asking about an idea I had. How can we silently harm enemies in dreams?"
Meng Yan's expression turned serious. "Little guy, this field is beyond your comprehension, both in the dream world of dreams and in reality. I've said it before; the effect of entering dreams can only guide the opponent's consciousness, not harm others. After all, even if you erase the opponent's consciousness in the spiritual world, they'll only lose a portion of their spiritual power.
At most, they'll feel uncomfortable for a while. Causing direct substantial harm is simply impossible!"
Su Ping paid no heed to Meng Yan's denial and continued, "No, I don't think it's impossible! Senior Meng, do you understand fear?"
Meng Yan's eyebrows furrowed. "Of course, I understand. Do you want to scare someone to death in a nightmare? Haha, little guy, I don't know if it's possible to scare them to death, but this idea of yours will make people laugh to death."
Su Ping ignored the other's mockery and said excitedly, "Senior Meng, the mystery of spiritual power needs no explanation. Using remote spiritual power and the virtual dream extension, it's impossible to kill opponents directly.
But what if the opponent themselves can't distinguish between dreams and reality?"
Meng Yan's smile seemed a bit forced at this moment. "What... what do you mean?"
The Dream Heart's complete simulation even allowed Meng Yan to see the excitement in the eyes of this crazy young man.
"If that's the case, the spiritual power of the beast can't harm the opponent through the extended spiritual power. But what if the opponent's spiritual power is completely controlled in the nightmare?"
"This..."
"The spiritual power attack is too weak. Even with an equal impact, it has to face the opponent's spiritual power and the body's isolation.
But what if we use this to control the opponent's spiritual power and attack themselves?"
Meng Yan's smile seemed a bit forced at this moment. "What... what do you mean?"
The Dream Heart's complete simulation even allowed Meng Yan to see the excitement in the eyes of this crazy young man.
"If that's the case, the spiritual power of the beast can't harm the opponent through the extended spiritual power. But what if the opponent's spiritual power is completely controlled in the nightmare?"
"This..."
"The spiritual power attack is too weak. Even with an equal impact, it has to face the opponent's spiritual power and the body's isolation.
But what if we use this to control the opponent's spiritual power and attack themselves?"
Meng Yan's expression turned serious. "Little guy, do you understand how difficult it is to construct a dream? The slightest mistake can lead to the dream being exposed as unrealistic, causing the opponent to leave the dream!"
"No!"
Su Ping was adamant. "It's possible! Fear leads to confusion! Deep nightmares and some people can't distinguish between reality and dreams!"
"It's impossible to distinguish between reality and dreams!"
Meng Yan muttered to himself, then before Su Ping could react, his body turned into a data stream and disappeared.
He had logged off.
Su Ping sighed. As expected, when people are in their area of expertise, they are more likely to break through.
