Chapter 407: The Ice Dragon King's Promise! The Study Qualification of Accommodating All Streams!
Chapter 407: The Ice Dragon King's Promise! The Study Qualification of Accommodating All Streams!
The atmosphere in the office became slightly stifling for a moment, until the door was opened.
Just as Cold Grandpa turned his head, thinking that Lu Guangming had brought Su Ping back so quickly, he was taken aback by the sight before him.
At the same time, everyone who noticed this surprised expression also paused, turning their heads to look at the unexpected visitor who had arrived at this moment.
A head of icy blue hair!
Skin as white as it was almost transparent, and in the blue irises, there was an indescribable mix of liveliness and stern, imposing qualities.
The Ice Dragon King!
One of the most unique Dragon Kings in Dragon City.
Having the opportunity to advance to the Legendary rank, and already considered a half-step away from it, was worlds apart from ordinary Spirit Core-level existences. Even if one was a beast tamer and the other was a pet beast, there was a vast difference between them.
However, it was evident that none of the people present had expected that at this moment, the Ice Dragon King would appear here.
"Ice Dragon King, why are you here?"
Sang Sheng subconsciously spoke up.
The Ice Dragon King smiled, and on his ice crystal-like face, it was as if a carefully carved face was as radiant as a flower in the sunlight:
"Saint Dragon King specifically asked me to come and say that he is very pleased that you are able to come and watch the battle of the younger generation of beast tamers in Dragon Kingdom.
However, you should also be mindful of your identities and not affect the smooth progress of the competition, especially in terms of intervening with the results and rankings."
Upon hearing this, Cold Grandpa's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the whitebrow elder looked at Cold Grandpa with interest before laughing:
"Of course, this year's youth profession assessment is conducted under the principles of absolute fairness, justice, and openness."
The Ice Dragon King smiled again:
"That's even better then."
However, at this moment, Cold Grandpa spoke up:
"Ice Dragon King, to be honest, this year's profession assessment is only for Overlord Rank young professionals! Sending someone to the Endless Sea, why send a young child? There are so many experienced high-level beast tamers..."
The Ice Dragon King's beautiful eyes glanced at Cold Grandpa and said indifferently:
"Saint Dragon King's decision, do you have any doubts, Ghost Saint?"
Cold Grandpa's eyes narrowed, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
The Ice Dragon King smiled again:
"Why are you in such a hurry, Ghost Saint? This profession 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 decided yet, and it might take a long time!
Furthermore, we don't even know which part of the Endless Sea it is, so what's the hurry?
And I can reveal in advance that when the time comes, I will go personally! With that, Ghost Saint should be at ease, right?"
Cold Grandpa raised his head and looked at the Ice Dragon King, who was notorious in Dragon City, and said nonchalantly:
"It's because you're coming along that I'm not at ease."
The Ice Dragon King's coquettish smile at the corner of his mouth instantly stiffened, and the temperature in the office dropped abruptly.
However, just then, the office door was knocked on again.
Lu Guangming and Su Ping's figures slowly walked in.
"Ghost Saint..."
Su Ping looked at the people present and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Greetings to all the seniors."
Cold Grandpa nodded and then said to Lu Guangming:
"Alright, the competition is about to start. You two can go now."
Lu Guangming quickly nodded and closed the solemn door.
Su Ping curiously looked at the people present, obviously not having reacted yet.
"Su Ping, let me introduce you to everyone."
Cold Grandpa didn't speak, and Sang Sheng, who was standing beside him, smiled and waved.
"This is Yuan Sheng, the current Dean of the Capital City Academy, and a veteran Spirit Core-level beast tamer!"
Sang Sheng pointed to the whitebrow elder and smiled.
Su Ping was startled and quickly said, "Greetings, Senior Yuan Sheng."
Yuan Sheng also smiled and squinted his eyes, nodding in response but not saying more.
"This is Feather Saint, who specializes in medical-type pet beasts and has extensive knowledge of life and light systems."
Sang Sheng pointed to the female who was like a surging wave but had a relatively ordinary appearance.
"Greetings, Senior Feather Saint."
"Hello, Su Ping."
Feather Saint waved her hand, acknowledging Su Ping.
Su Ping turned his gaze to Cold Grandpa beside him:
"Second Grandpa, why did you come to find me?"
Upon hearing this, Cold Grandpa paused slightly, and it was evident that with the arrival of the Ice Dragon King, there were some things he naturally couldn't say.
He could only hesitate for a moment before speaking helplessly:
"How have you been doing lately?
The impact on you wasn't too great, right? And Chen Lao is quite interested in you and wants to introduce you to everyone."
Su Ping shook his head. "I'm much better now."
As for... Chen Lao? The whitebrow elder chuckled and glanced at Cold Grandpa before nodding.
"Tsk, they say fame should be seized early, but you, a little kid, won't even seize this great opportunity to stand out."
"But this is not a good thing. A tree that stands out in the forest will often be the first to be chopped down." The old man's words from earlier seemed to have changed.
The few people in the room glanced at each other.
And it was evident 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 had contact with the Dragon Gate. Saint Dragon Lord has been keeping this matter to himself. Did you ascend the first tier of the Dragon Gate?"
It was clear that Meng Yao had mentioned this matter in front of some people before.
And these people knew what the Dragon Gate represented. Even if the Ghost Saint asked about this matter, it would be inappropriate.
Not only that, but no one had inquired about Su Ping's choice of inheritance site, but there was undoubtedly covert investigation going on.
Therefore, only the Ice Dragon King present could ask about this matter.
Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his nose.
However, he didn't hesitate.
He didn't answer or say more.
Instead, he directly activated the special Dragon Seal within his soul using his psychic energy. This seal had appeared after ascending the fourth tier of the Dragon Gate.
A dazzling golden light in the shape of a dragon's imprint appeared on Su Ping's hand, so obvious and dazzling.
The entire office fell into a moment of silence.
It was genuinely quiet.
Most of them hadn't truly come into contact with the Dragon Gate.
Ascending the Dragon Gate meant mastering a portion of the dragon's power and rules.
In the Dragon Kingdom, the significance of this was self-evident.
Even in Dragon City, only a few people had the qualification and recognition to touch the steps of the Dragon Gate.
Although they hadn't come into direct contact, they were still quite knowledgeable about the Dragon Gate.
They naturally understood that at this moment, the Dragon Seal on Su Ping's hand represented something extraordinary.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liushujiuba.
Sang Sheng looked at the little guy in front of her with a bit of bewilderment.
Unconsciously, scenes from the past year flashed through her mind.
A year's time.
No, she had only known this stinky kid for about half a year.
However, her old friend Qin had called her early on to talk about this special little guy.
The first time she heard this kid's name was last summer, probably around this time as well.
Old Qin complained about how his beloved granddaughter was causing trouble for him again.
Then, out of the blue, he told her that there was a small breeder in Linzhou who had cultivated Qin Xiaoxue's Tree Crown Wolf into an extremely rare Wood Core skill! And that her little cabbage might be interested in this guy.
She was a bit dissatisfied, but with Qin Chuan's previous experience, she still respected her granddaughter's wishes and didn't pay it much mind.
However, being able to cultivate such a rare Wood Core skill indicated that this guy had potential. Moreover, Wood Core was her primary attribute, so if possible, she could nurture him a bit.
However, after some time, Qin Erlong called her again and suddenly told her that the little guy had cultivated an entirely new evolution for the Forest Wolf, called the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf.
She was surprised and remembered the name Su Ping, the little guy, and became extremely curious. She decided to check out this exceptionally talented kid later.
Being able to master an entirely new evolution might have been partly due to luck, but it also indicated a promising future and potential.
After that, Qin Erlong called her again and told her that not only had the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf been successfully cultivated, but according to Liu Fu Hai's words, it also possessed a super skill module. It was very likely that in the near future, it would completely master a super skill.
However, an unexpected incident occurred. Her foolish son was almost led astray, but it also revealed the terrifying background behind this stinky kid.
The Saint of Ghosts, known for her cold and arrogant demeanor, finally laid eyes on the little guy.
The moment he arrived at Maddo Academy, he shattered all records in the Trial Tower, capturing the attention of the entire academy.
On the first day of the New Year, during the highly anticipated Professional Assessment, she witnessed the legendary Super Skill firsthand. At that moment, she truly understood that a rising star was born in the Dragon Kingdom, and under her watchful eye, a legend emerged.
After half a year of preparation for educational reforms and this widely anticipated assessment, she turned her attention back to the stinky kid.
But what did she find? A Hall-level Breeder? A Hall-level Super Skill?
Upon seeing the Dragon Mark, Saint Sang Sheng recalled her initial unrealistic idea.
Could this kid be the secret child of the Saint Dragon Legend?
The appearance of the Dragon Mark meant he had already gained preliminary recognition from the Dragon Gate, allowing him to wield a portion of its power.
Even if the Saint Dragon Legend wanted to find a successor, there was no need to be in such a hurry at such a young age.
The Saint Dragon was still in his prime, and with his strength...
Of course, Saint Sang didn't believe that Su Ping had achieved this solely through his own abilities.
She knew what the Dragon Gate was all about.
It wasn't about talent or ability, but rather, it was primarily about dragons.
This stinky kid had barely any interaction with dragons, so there could only be one truth!
He must be the secret child of the Saint Dragon Legend!
Suddenly, Saint Sang couldn't help but believe this explanation, because aside from this, she couldn't think of any other reason!
This was unbelievable!
The oldest Yuan Sheng was the first to react, glancing at Su Ping with a peculiar look. He said:
"Alright, Su Ping, put it away. Remember, if it's not necessary, don't casually show it off."
Su Ping nodded and retracted it.
The Ice Dragon King then asked:
"Su Ping, after the assessment, do you have any plans or intentions?"
Su Ping was taken aback:
"I'll probably stay a few more days, then I need to return to Linzhou. My family probably has a lot of important matters to attend to."
The Ice Dragon King paused for a moment:
"If possible, you can stay longer. Master Zhu has been struggling with 'Sea of All Rivers' lately, with no progress.
I heard that you're a proper Master now. How about we research it together?"
Researching a Hall-level Super Skill was an enticing offer.
Su Ping blinked: "Can I? I didn't choose the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and Saint Dragon..."
The Ice Dragon King patted her chest:
"Don't worry. If Saint Dragon disagrees, I'll speak to him. Plus, you won't need to spend much effort or time on this. Just let me know if you have any ideas."
As for the Dragon Clan's inheritance, she heard Saint Dragon say there's room for negotiation. After all, that Elder woke up because of this, so your face carries weight. Don't worry, I'll back you up! In Dragon City, if you need anything, just ask me!"
Su Ping nodded enthusiastically:
"Thank you, Ice Dragon King!"
Although he didn't have a Water-type pet, the future might bring one.
The Water Core and the West Dragon Lake were vast.
Moreover, interacting with dragon pets, especially Water-type ones, would help gather more dragon pet data, which would greatly benefit the second evolution of the Rainbow Dragon.
Indeed, the Ice Dragon King seemed to be the decision-maker of the Four Seas Dragon Palace. With her support, everything would be smooth sailing.
This trip wasn't in vain!
Chatting with the several Saint-level Breeder and the extraordinary Ice Dragon King, and even discussing experiences and insights about skill breakthroughs. After all, the Saint Dragon Legend himself said that this Breeder had three skills at the Out of the Ordinary level.
And Out of the Ordinary skills were a key factor in reaching the Legendary level.
There were two others.
The Feather Saint remained gentle, but the Yuan Sheng was full of enthusiasm.
Especially after seeing the Dragon Mark.
This enthusiasm lasted until the afternoon, when the top twenty contestants' elimination battle ended, allowing Su Ping to leave.
He would participate in the afternoon's twelve-to-six and six-to-three matches, which were akin to 'semi-final' ranking battles!
