Chapter 407: The Ice Dragon King's Promise! Hai Na Bai Chuan's Study Qualifications!
Chapter 407: The Ice Dragon King's Promise! Hai Na Bai Chuan's Study Qualifications!
The atmosphere in the office was slightly dull at this moment, until the door was opened.
However, just as Cold Grandpa turned around, thinking that Lu Guangming had brought Su Ping back so quickly, he was stunned when he saw who it was.
At the same time, everyone who noticed this surprised expression also froze slightly, turning their heads to look at the unexpected visitor.
A head of ice-blue hair! Skin so white it was almost transparent, and blue pupils that exuded an indescribable mix of liveliness and solemn dignity.
The Ice Dragon King! One of the most unique Dragon Kings in Dragon City.
Having the opportunity to advance to the level of legend, or even being considered half a step away from legend, there was a world of difference between a regular Holy Spirit-ranked existence and a Beastmaster with a Companion Beast.
However, it was clear that none of the people present had expected the Ice Dragon King to appear at this moment.
"Ice Dragon King, why are you here?"
Sang Sheng spoke up unconsciously.
The Ice Dragon King smiled, his crystal-like face resembling a meticulously carved flower, radiant with sunshine and splendor.
"The Dragon Lord specifically asked me to come and inform you that you are invited to watch and pay attention to the battles of the younger generation of Beastmasters in the Dragon Kingdom. He is very pleased that you are here,
However, you should also be mindful of your identities and not interfere with the smooth progress of the competition, especially in terms of influencing the results and rankings."
Upon hearing this, Cold Grandpa's eyebrows furrowed slightly, while the white-browed elder looked at Cold Grandpa with interest, and then smiled.
"Of course, this year's youth professional assessment is conducted under the principles of absolute fairness, justice, and openness."
The Ice Dragon King smiled again.
"That's wonderful, of course..."
However, at this moment, Cold Grandpa spoke up.
"Ice Dragon King, at the end of the day, this professional assessment is still a young assessment for the Dominance Peak. Why send a young child to the Boundless Ocean? There are so many other Beastmasters..."
The Ice Dragon King's beautiful eyes glanced at Cold Grandpa in front of him and said calmly.
"Do you doubt the Dragon Lord's decision, Ghost Saint?"
Cold Grandpa's eyes narrowed, but he didn't say anything.
The Ice Dragon King smiled again.
"Why are you in such a hurry, Ghost Saint? This professional assessment has only reached the halfway point, and it's still uncertain who will come out on top! Moreover, this matter hasn't been completely settled yet, and it might take a long time to finalize everything.
Furthermore, we don't even know which part of the Boundless Ocean it will take place in, so what's the rush?
Additionally, I can reveal in advance that I will personally go there! With that, Ghost Saint, you should be at ease, right?"
Cold Grandpa raised his head and looked at the Ice Dragon King, who had a notorious reputation in Dragon City, and said nonchalantly.
"I'm concerned precisely because you will be accompanying him."
The Ice Dragon King's coquettish smile froze, and the temperature in the office dropped sharply.
However, just at that moment, the office door was knocked on again.
Lu Guangming and Su Ping's figures slowly entered the room.
"Ghost Saint..."
Su Ping looked at the people present and raised his eyebrows. "Greetings to all of you."
Cold Grandpa nodded and then said to Lu Guangming.
"Alright, you two can go now."
Lu Guangming quickly nodded and closed the solemn door.
Su Ping looked curiously at the people in the room, clearly not realizing what was going on.
"Su Ping, come here, let me introduce you to everyone."
Cold Grandpa didn't speak, but the smiling Sang Sheng waved his hand.
"This is Yuan Sheng, the current Dean of the Imperial Capital Academy and a senior Holy Spirit-ranked Beastmaster."
Sang Sheng pointed at the white-browed elder and smiled.
Su Ping was surprised and quickly said, "Greetings, Senior Yuan Sheng."
"Hello, Su Ping."
Yuan Sheng waved his hand, acknowledging the introduction.
Su Ping turned his gaze to Cold Grandpa beside him.
"Second Grandpa, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, Cold Grandpa paused for a moment. It was clear that with the arrival of the Ice Dragon King, some words were best left unsaid.
Moreover, since the Dragon Lord himself had personally intervened and offered a suggestion, Cold Grandpa couldn't very well argue against it.
He could only sigh and reluctantly say, "How have you been doing lately?"
"It won't affect you too much, right? And Chen Lao is quite interested in you and wants to get to know you."
Su Ping shook his head, "It's fine now."
As for Chen Lao...
The white-browed elder glanced at Leng Ye with a smile and then nodded.
"Su Ping, about the matter of Little Lu coming to find you the other day, can I ask you to speak up for the old man?"
Su Ping was helpless, "Chen Lao, I really don't have any experience in this regard, and I don't want to draw too much attention to myself. After this professional assessment, I'd rather have some peace and quiet."
"Tsk, they say that fame should be sought early, but you, as a young one, don't want to seize this great opportunity to make a name for yourself."
"But that's a good thing. 'The wood shows its strength in the forest,' as they say. It's not a bad thing."
The old man didn't say that just now, did he?
The people present glanced at him.
And it was clear that another person present was also very interested in Su Ping.
It was none other than the Ice Dragon King, who had just arrived.
"Su Ping, I heard that you came into contact with the Dragon Gate the other day. The Dragon Ancestor has never mentioned this matter. How is it? Have you ascended the first stage of the Dragon Gate?"
It was clear that the last time, Meng Yao had spoken about this matter in front of some people.
And those present also knew what the Dragon Gate represented. It was not appropriate for outsiders to ask about this, even if it was the Ghost Saint asking the question.
Even the choice of Su Ping's cultivation site was not questioned, but the secret inquiries were self-evident.
So, only the Ice Dragon King present could speak up.
Su Ping felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his nose.
But he didn't squirm.
Instead, he activated his spiritual power, and the special Dragon Mark from ascending the fourth stage of the Dragon Gate appeared on Su Ping's wrist.
The dazzling golden light of the dragon-shaped mark caught the attention of the entire office.
It became incredibly quiet.
Most of them had never truly come into contact with the Dragon Gate.
Because ascending the Dragon Gate represented mastering a part of the dragon's power rules.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the significance of this was self-evident.
Even in Dragon City, only a few had the qualification to touch upon the Dragon Gate.
However, they were quite knowledgeable about the Dragon Gate.
They naturally understood that at this moment, the Dragon Mark on Su Ping's hand represented something extraordinary.
Sage Sang looked at the young man before him with a puzzled expression.
Unconsciously, scenes from the past year flashed through his mind.
A year's time.
No, they had only known this stinky boy for about half a year.
But their old Qin had called long ago, mentioning this special young man.
The first time they heard this young man's name was last summer, probably around this time as well.
Old Qin called to complain that their good granddaughter was causing trouble again.
Then, unexpectedly, she was told that a local cultivator in Linzhou had a Crown Wolf pet beast, a candidate for the evolution of the Forest Wolf, and had cultivated an extremely rare Wood Heart skill! Moreover, it was said that their little cabbage might have taken a liking to this boy.
She was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but with Qin Chuan's previous experience, she still respected her granddaughter's wishes to a certain extent, but she wasn't too concerned.
However, the cultivation of the Wood Heart skill indicated that this boy indeed had potential, and since Wood was her main attribute, she could just give him some guidance.
But after some time, Qin Erlong called again, saying that the boy had cultivated a completely new evolution of the Forest Wolf, called the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf.
She was surprised and remembered the name of the boy, Su Ping, and was very curious, planning to see this talented young man later.
To master an entirely new evolution, even if there was an element of luck, still showed potential and promise.
Afterward, Qin Erlong called again, telling her that not only had the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf been successfully cultivated, but according to Liu Fu Hai, it had a model of an advanced skill, and it was very likely that in the near future, a complete advanced skill would be mastered.
Unexpectedly, an incident occurred, and her foolish son was almost led into great trouble by someone, but it also revealed the terrifying background of this stinky boy.
Ghost Saint's cold arrogance.
Then, she finally saw the little guy.
Because this little guy came to the Capital Academy.
And as soon as he arrived, he completely refreshed the records of the Trial Tower! Drawing the attention of the entire Capital Academy.
Finally, on this New Year's Day, she witnessed the Advanced Skill! At that moment, she truly understood that a rising star in the Dragon Kingdom was about to emerge from her witness, and it completely appeared!
Afterward, half a year of busyness, in preparation for the educational reform, and for this once-in-a-lifetime Professional Assessment that had the nation's attention,
Half a year later, she finally paid attention to this stinky kid again.
But what were the results? Hall-level Breeding Master? Hall-level Advanced Skill?!
And now, after seeing that Dragon Mark, Sage Shang once again remembered that unrealistic idea from before.
This stinky kid, could he really be the private son of the Dragon Lord Legend?
Being able to manifest such a Dragon Mark means he already possesses the power of the Dragon Gate!
Having gained preliminary recognition from the Dragon Gate, he can now exercise a portion of the Dragon Gate's power! Even if that person wanted to find a successor to cultivate, there's no need to rush this early.
The Dragon Lord is still in his prime! Moreover, with his strength...
Of course, Sage Shang didn't believe it at all. She was certain that this wasn't achieved through Su Ping's own abilities.
She was very clear about what the Dragon Gate was.
That thing wasn't about talent or ability; it was mainly related to dragons.
This stinky kid had almost no interaction with dragons,
So, the truth was only one! This little guy was absolutely the private son of the Dragon Lord Legend!
Suddenly, even Sage Shang couldn't help but believe this claim. Because aside from this explanation, she couldn't think of any other reason!
It was the oldest Yuan Sheng who reacted first, looking at Su Ping with an odd expression, but he still said, "Alright, Su Ping, put it away. Remember, if it's not necessary, don't casually reveal it!"
Su Ping nodded and retracted it.
The Ice Dragon King then said, "Su Ping, after the assessment, do you have any plans or destinations in mind?"
Su Ping was taken aback, "I'll probably stay a few more days, and then I'll leave. As for plans, I haven't thought about it yet."
The Ice Dragon King pondered, "If possible, you can stay longer. I've been struggling with 'Sea Accepts a Thousand Streams' lately, and there hasn't been any progress."
I heard that you're now a proper Master-level Breeding Master. If you want, shall we research it together later?"
Researching a Hall-level Advanced Skill, how could I not be interested?
Su Ping blinked, "This... is it possible? I mean, I didn't choose the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Lord..."
The Ice Dragon King patted his chest, "If the Dragon Lord doesn't agree later, I'll speak up. Moreover, you don't need to worry. I've heard about the Dragon Palace's location from the Dragon Lord, and there's room for negotiation. Hehe, that person even woke up because of it. Your face is quite big. But rest assured, I'll support you later! If you have any requests in Dragon City, just ask me!"
Su Ping nodded excitedly, "Okay, thank you, Ice Dragon King!"
Although he didn't have a water-type beast, it didn't mean he wouldn't have one in the future.
The Water Heart and Xi Long Lake were so vast!
Moreover, interacting more with dragon beasts, especially water-types, would allow him to gather more dragon beast data, which would be extremely beneficial for the Rainbow Dragon's second evolution!
Indeed, this Ice Dragon King, if he was the Four Seas Dragon Palace, it would be a sure thing.
This time, it wasn't a wasted trip!
Chatting with several Saint Spirit-level individuals, and that extraordinary Ice Dragon King.
Even bringing up rare experiences and insights about skill breakthroughs, after all, the Dragon Lord Legend himself said that this person's skills had broken through to the Transcendence level three times.
And Transcendence-level skills were one of the key conditions to enter the Legend rank.
As for the other two.
That Phoenix Saint was always gentle but didn't talk much. However, that Yuan Sheng was very enthusiastic.
Especially after seeing the Dragon Mark.
This enthusiasm continued into the afternoon, after the twelve-to-six and six-to-three elimination battles, which were almost equivalent to 'semifinal' ranking matches!
