Chapter 406: Suppressing Su Ping? The Holy Spirit-ranked Participants!

Chapter 406: Suppressing Su Ping? The Holy Spirit-ranked Participants!

Fear...

Meng Huangliang took off his helmet, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

Could it be possible? In fact, as a genius Beastmaster specializing in Psychic Beasts, he had achieved groundbreaking results in the field of extending consciousness into the dream world. Naturally, he had also considered this aspect.

Being able to kill an opponent invisibly during a battle.

In the new world within the dream, existing as an overlord.

After slaying an opponent in the dream, the same would happen in reality.

However, only Meng Huangliang himself knew how difficult it was.

It was fundamentally unimaginable.

The impact on Meng Huangliang was immense and beyond imagination when a young man in the dream he acknowledged told him that it was possible to achieve such a feat.

It even made Meng Huangliang involuntarily doubt himself again.

Could it be that it wasn't a dream?!

Otherwise, why would a dream figure appear here, telling him that he had a deeper understanding of dreams?!

The dream itself is a world created based on one's self-perception.

A pure world that exists only in imagination.

However, in Meng Huangliang's previous understanding of dreams, where did these theories come from? If they didn't exist, why would this dream world appear? Shouldn't it collapse under such circumstances? At the very least, there should be bugs and loopholes, right?

Or perhaps this cunning eagle who created the dream was so carefree that he didn't deal with the various affairs of the parliament, didn't pay attention to the other forces above Blue Star, and didn't continue fighting with the 'Golden Heart'?

Otherwise, how could this dream world remain so stable?

Obviously, it was unscientific!

Confusion.

Meng Huangliang looked up at the countless stars in the night sky outside the window. In the short time since meeting Su Ping, he was once again filled with confusion.

However, he soon became resolute!

Perhaps, in the real world, there was indeed a top genius cultivator in the field of Psychic research, but all of this was just speculation! Only when it was truly realized and proven in this so-called dream world would he believe it.

But...

Meng Huangliang glanced at the Dream Heart helmet on the bed.

The bright moonlight shone down, casting a slightly pale silhouette in the darkness.

Su Ping didn't know about the legendary spy senior's turbulent past.

Although he hadn't gained any inspiration from Meng Huangliang, he had a feeling that perhaps this accidental speculation was indeed highly feasible.

The morning sun rose, and the day's Beast Taming Arena, where Su Ping had spent two days, was about to witness the elimination of twelve participants, leaving only three. The top twenty rankings would also be determined.

So, although the morning had arrived, Su Ping, Qin Xiaoxue, and the others had nothing to do in the morning.

Instead, they sat in the contestant seats, closely watching the battles on the arena.

Undoubtedly, the competition for the top twenty rankings, and the future top ten and top five rankings, would be even more intense than the twelve-to-six elimination!

According to the Professional Assessment rules.

Only those who made it into the top twenty would receive additional rewards! Only those in the top ten would receive Imperial-ranked Beast eggs as rewards! And for the top five, the reward was even greater—the qualification to choose Dragon Beasts after eliminating one contestant!

Could Dragon Beasts be compared to ordinary Imperial-ranked Beast eggs? Obviously not!

Therefore, the final rankings were what the audience was most eager to see.

But for the eliminated contestants, the rankings after elimination were the moments when they truly gave their all!

Today was such a day!

The top twenty-four contestants, apart from the chosen twelve, had eight more spots.

Among the twelve eliminated contestants, the four weakest would be eliminated, and only then would the final eight contestants within the top twenty be determined!

In such a competition involving personal interests, the idea of friendship coming first was nonsense.

At the same time, in this competition, the influence of luck needed to be minimized as much as possible.

Obviously, in this competition where personal interests were at stake, friendship came first was just nonsense.

At the same time, in such a competition, the influence of luck needed to be minimized as much as possible.

And so, the only solution is to have high-frequency single-entity combat! Out of the twelve contestants, each will randomly face three enemies, and the one with the fewest victories will be eliminated.

It's time to go all out! Su Ping, who had been continuously competing for two days, was sitting leisurely in his seat, ready to watch the upcoming battles of others.

However, just as Qin Xiaoxue was about to join him, a staff member approached and whispered something to Su Ping.

Su Ping was slightly taken aback and turned to the staff member:

"Is this something they require?"

"No, Su Peiyu, it's not a requirement, the staff member explained. "It's just a request for your opinion. If you're not comfortable, you can tell me, and I'll convey it to the others."

The staff member quickly spoke up.

Su Ping thought for a moment and shook his head:

"Never mind, I'll pass. I have a competition in the afternoon, and it wouldn't be respectful to my opponents if I did this. Please apologize to them on my behalf, and if there's an opportunity later in the competition, I'll take it."

"Okay," the staff member quickly agreed and left.

Qin Xiaoxue, who had just arrived, was surprised and asked:

"What's going on? Is there something wrong?"

Su Ping shook his head:

"It's nothing. The vice-president, Lu Guangming, invited me to his office for a chat and to comment on the other contestants' companion beasts, but I declined."

Qin Xiaoxue raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"What's Lu Guangming thinking? You have to fight two consecutive battles in the afternoon, and now you're going to be a commentator?"

Su Ping smiled:

"It's just a simple request, and I declined."

However, Qin Xiaoxue's eyebrows remained slightly furrowed.

Qin Xiaoxue, known for her straightforwardness, didn't have much common sense in certain matters, especially when it came to complicated situations. But having grown up in such a family, she thought a lot about these things.

"Is this old guy trying to suppress you because you refused to give a speech at the Imperial Capital Academy last time?"

Su Ping was slightly taken aback but then shook his head:

"No."

Qin Xiaoxue glanced at Su Ping, who, just a year ago, had been so immature, but now, his slender body exuded a quiet strength, and his eyes held a confidence that couldn't be described.

"You're so sure? Lu Guangming is not even fifty years old, and as an Imperial-ranked peak Beastmaster, he might even be promoted to Holy Spirit rank in the future. He's probably more capable than my grandpa."

This statement made Qin Xiaoxue blink for a moment, but then she couldn't help but blink again, unable to say anything else for a while.

Su Ping's confidence came from his contact with the Dragon Sovereign.

To be honest, if it was just an Imperial-ranked Beastmaster, it wouldn't be that impressive.

However, Su Ping didn't hear a response and turned to look at Qin Xiaoxue, noticing that her eyes held a strange expression, as if she was thinking about something.

Su Ping waved his hand, interrupting Qin Xiaoxue's thoughts. He then asked:

"What are you thinking about?"

Qin Xiaoxue came back to her senses and adjusted her sitting posture slightly unnaturally. She then asked:

"Why did Lu Guangming invite you?"

"There's no need for such deep thoughts. He might just want to hear my opinions as a Beastmaster on the other contestants' companion beasts."

Su Ping shrugged his shoulders.

These special young masters from influential families always thought too much.

However, Su Ping's thoughts on this matter were a bit too simple.

In the room, several figures were chatting when the office door opened, and Lu Guangming, the vice-president, entered. He was followed by a gray-haired man with his hair tied like an ancient Taoist, a gentle-looking woman with an ordinary appearance but a radiant aura, and the Wood Saint and Ghost Saint.

Lu Guangming nodded, and before he could speak, the white-browed old man glanced at him:

"This little guy is really not giving me face! First, it was one thing, and now it's another."

Cold Lord glanced at him disdainfully, "Don't go around making baseless accusations. Su Ping is merely a lazy commentator, not someone personally invited by the Yuan Sheng."

"Tsk, why are the youngsters these days so reluctant to stand out? Back in my youth, I was the center of attention. Speaking of which, I'm genuinely interested in this young fellow."

White Browed Elder shook his head, lost in his own thoughts, and added nonchalantly, "In certain aspects, he's a tad too arrogant."

"Su Ping has the capital to be arrogant."

This time, it was Sang Sheng who spoke up, her eyes curving in a subtle smile as if she had just envisioned Su Ping and his granddaughter whispering to each other in the contestant seats of the arena.

"Tsk, this capital is indeed not something ordinary people possess."

White Browed Elder spoke again, his words carrying a profound meaning.

Cold Lord scoffed, his face growing colder, "Only you, an old thing, believe that in the current Dragon Kingdom, without you, or even without us, someone else will rise."

"The decay of noble families stems from this mindset. If the Chen family doesn't change, by the time Chen Laotou passes away, there won't be any difference left between them and the Wang family! And you still plan to create another Azure Dragon for your descendants? Even if it's not one, but three or five, it won't matter!"

White Browed Elder paid no heed to Cold Lord's disdain, seemingly accustomed to the foul mouth of this relatively young and radical Ghost Saint among the Holy Spirit ranks.

"They're all the same. Whether it's dynasties or noble families, they all end up the same. Su Ping, Ah Sang, and even those who rose in recent years, when they have children and grandchildren, the future will still be the same."

"In this world, aside from the great Dragon Ancestor and the current Dragon Lord, who can truly take that step?"

"So, no matter what happens to the Chen family, it's the business of their descendants. Thinking about it is tiring."

Obviously, Yuan Sheng was quite open-minded about this. After a pause, he asked about the main issue that brought them here:

"Speaking of which, does the Dragon Lord really intend to send the top performer of this Professional Assessment to do that? Isn't that a hasty decision?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them furrowed their brows but remained silent.

After so many years, they had grown accustomed to following his orders.

Cold Lord shook his head, "It's not a decision to be made in a short time. It's just an idea. The last time the Flame Lord revived... the situation was special. This time, with the Water Lord's revival and some unique circumstances in the Endless Sea, it's worth paying extra attention to!"

"The top performer, naturally, is the strongest young Beastmaster. If there's a special opportunity, it's indeed necessary to utilize."

"Of course, there will be someone accompanying him."

The four of them fell into silence, none speaking again.

Instead, Cold Lord turned to look at Su Ping, his brows knitting tighter.

It had to be said, although Cold Lord didn't get along with Chen Laotou, this old thing had spoken one truth.

People were hypocritical and protective of their own.

If possible, Cold Lord wouldn't want his family to face any danger.

So, after some thought, he directly instructed those behind him, "Go and bring Su Ping. Tell him I requested it. I have something to discuss with him."

Lu Guangming was startled and cautiously glanced at his Dean, noticing that the latter didn't react. He quickly nodded, "Yes!"

This time, it was Vice Dean Lu Guangming who went personally.

After he left, White Browed Elder chuckled but didn't say more, although his unspoken meaning was clear.

Cold Lord's face grew colder, but he added, "With Su Ping's expertise in cultivation, there's no need or possibility for him to take on such a risk! Moreover, he has important matters to attend to!"

White Browed Elder quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, I understand."

Cold Lord glanced at him, suppressing the urge to punch this old thing, and exhaled a long breath.

However, he still calmly watched Qin Xiaoxue preparing to observe the upcoming match with Su Ping. Just then, he spotted Vice Dean Lu Guangming walking towards them with a clear purpose.

Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue exchanged a glance, thinking, 'Why did he personally come for such a minor matter?'
