Chapter 426: The Most Special Time Dragon!
Chapter 426: The Most Special Time Dragon!
Hall of Time?
Su Ping nodded.
He slowly walked in, but when he turned around, the figure of the Holy Dragon Legend had already disappeared, clearly not intending to accompany him inside.
Su Ping exhaled and pushed open the creaking wooden door.
An indescribable aura filled the air, not a high-level energy fluctuation, nor a hazy mist, but a sense of age with a hint of decay.
The taste was hard to describe, but instinctively, he could feel that this place had probably existed for a very long time.
In fact, it was indeed so.
The dimly lit library was illuminated not by energy bursts but by oil lamps that had been lit.
Bookcases lined the walls, filled with books.
Civilization, in the distant past, was passed down in this manner.
Even Su Ping, without seeing the content of these books, felt as if he was immersed in the river of time.
Although this feeling was obviously a stretch.
Su Ping snapped out of his reverie and looked at the strange, smiling Wax Dragon.
It was indeed odd to see such an expression on a dragon's face, but Su Ping respectfully bowed:
"Greetings, Elder Wax!"
The Wax Dragon nodded.
"I heard that you placed first in some professional competition outside, and your little pet even achieved the Supreme Mastery level in a skill! Not bad, no wonder Ah Xuan has such high hopes for you!"
"Please forgive my rudeness, Elder!"
The Wax Dragon winked and then said:
"I suppose this little guy doesn't have the patience to chat with an old dragon like me. Let me show you this little thing first!"
The Wax Dragon's understanding made Su Ping quickly nod in agreement.
He was indeed curious.
This dragon pet was said to be extremely special by the Holy Dragon Legend.
Moreover, it seemed to be the only time dragon pet in Dragon City, aside from the legendary Wax Dragon in front of him. So, what did it look like?
Su Ping sat on a rattan chair in anticipation, and thankfully, he didn't have to wait too long.
A few minutes later, the Wax Dragon, which had disappeared, reappeared.
However, Su Ping looked behind and around the Wax Dragon but didn't see any other dragon shadows.
The Wax Dragon also sat on a rattan chair next to him and then took something from his sleeve, handing it to Su Ping.
This object was the most ordinary thing in the entire Hall of Time!
It was a book.
Although it was small, Su Ping didn't notice it at first glance.
Su Ping looked at the Wax Dragon in front of him with some doubt.
Then, after the Wax Dragon finally spoke, Su Ping's guess was completely confirmed:
"This is the little thing. Take a look!"
Just this book?
Su Ping lowered his head and looked at the book on the tea table, which was slightly larger than a palm and grayish. For a moment, he didn't react.
Was this the time-type dragon pet?
Time-type dragon pet?
Su Ping looked at the Wax Dragon in front of him with confusion.
The Wax Dragon winked and nodded, seemingly pleased with Su Ping's expression.
Then, Su Ping, somewhat incredulous, placed his hand on the book. He wanted to check if his perception was correct, thinking that this was not a book but a box or something similar.
However, after opening the cover and turning to the first page, Su Ping exhaled.
The slightly yellowed blank pages could only prove that this was not a book but a blank diary!
Because there wasn't even any writing!
Was this a pet?
Although Su Ping naturally couldn't know all types of pets, when he first saw this object, he still had some doubts.
However, just as this thought appeared, he paused and then stared at the previously blank page.
Because on the slightly yellowed blank page, in the next second, it was as if ink had stained it, as if an invisible hand held a pen and quickly wrote on it.
Black ink characters appeared in Su Ping's field of vision:
'Lowly human, what are you looking at? Are you looking down on this Dragon King? Do you know who you have before you?
And, human, didn't you use too much force when you opened this? Do you want to hurt this Dragon King to death? Why did Old Ghost give this Dragon King to you?'
Su Ping instinctively let go of the book and looked at the quickly appearing words, blinking.
Then, he looked at the Wax Dragon in front of him with a shocked expression, his eyes full of disbelief:
"So, this is a time-type artifact pet?"
Indeed, only this explanation made sense.
As expected, the Wax Dragon continued to wink and nod, not taking offense at the disrespectful 'speech' in the 'book'.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Su Ping was a bit dazed.
A time-type artifact pet shouldn't have shocked him.
After all, just yesterday, he had fought his 'mortal enemy', and the opponent's main battle pet was a time-type artifact pet.
But Su Ping never expected that the day before, he had just fought a time-type artifact pet, the Hourglass.
The next day, the dragon pet he had been waiting for in Dragon City turned out to be a time-type artifact pet?
However, the problem was, why would a book like this be a dragon?
Was this reasonable?
Su Ping couldn't hold back any longer, and his Spirit Vision was about to activate.
And just like that, the blank book that had just opened suddenly closed.
A few seconds later, the perception and observation of the Spirit Vision only provided a faint feedback in Su Ping's mind:
【Time's Tome???】
【???】
Apart from the question marks, Su Ping couldn't even see the cultivation realm of this thing.
Just as Su Ping was about to react, the so-called Time's Tome suddenly opened again, and black ink characters appeared on the blank pages:
'Humorous yet foolish human, you still dare to use such a petty trick to pry into this Dragon King. Although your abilities are slightly stronger than ordinary humans, how could you possibly fathom the might and means of this Dragon King?'
Not only that, at the bottom of the blank pages of this Time's Tome, there was even a special expression drawn in the same ink:
'^^'
Su Ping's eyebrows twitched.
He had to admit that this thing was a little bit irritating.
The most important question was, where did this thing come from?
Finally, the Wax Dragon slowly extended its hand, which was not much different from a human's, and gently patted the Time's Tome before speaking:
"Alright, no more rudeness. Su Ping is one of the greatest breeders in the Dragon Nation, and perhaps even in the world. Your future growth, your contract, and everything else might all be related to Su Ping!"
After that, the Wax Dragon directly grabbed the Time's Tome, not giving it a chance to speak further, and finally began to explain this object to Su Ping:
"Su Ping, have you ever come across Time's Tome before?"
Su Ping shook his head.
"Time-type, artifact-type Monarch-rank upper limit companion beasts are usually born from special materials and extremely ancient books. The main combat ability of this type of companion beast is that the beastmaster can write about battles on the book, and as long as it's not too outrageous, it can be realized in combat. It's an extremely powerful and relatively rare companion beast.
Of course, time-type companion beasts themselves are extremely rare!
However, the special thing about this little creature is not only its absolute wisdom and many other unique abilities, but also its firm belief that it is a dragon and the future Dragon King.
The most crucial point is that the Dragon Gate Mark's detection also acknowledged this claim! You can try it."
The Elder Wax also shook his head in surprise.
Su Ping was slightly startled, and then continued to hold the strange Time's Tome in his hand. However, this time, instead of using the Spirit Vision, he directly summoned the Dragon Gate Mark from his soul.
The mark on his left hand lit up.
A faint dragon roar echoed, and in the Dragon Gate Mark, Su Ping received feedback similar to that of the Spirit Vision:
【Leap Dragon Gate Ability Detection...】
【Leap Dragon Gate Lifeform Type: Artifact Elemental】
【Leap Dragon Gate Attribute: Time】
【Probability of Leap Dragon Gate: Tenfold】
【Estimated Number of Evolutions: One】
【Estimated Form: Time Dragon】
So it's really like that?
Su Ping blinked. Now he understood why even the Holy Dragon Legend had given such an evaluation to the object before him.
After obtaining the Dragon Gate Mark, he had used this detection ability to assess other companion beasts, such as the Lin Wolf Origami that he carried with him.
In the Dragon Gate detection, the probability of Leap Dragon Gate was 0.
For companion beasts with a Dragon Gate detection probability of 30% and below, they would need to evolve an incalculable number of times before having a minuscule chance of evolving into the final Dragon Race form.
The Rainbow Coral Worm was in this category.
For companion beasts with a Dragon Gate detection probability of 60% and below, they would also need to evolve twice or more to have a chance of becoming a Dragon Race form.
As for companion beasts with a Dragon Gate detection probability of 90% and below, they would also need to evolve once to have a chance of becoming a Dragon Race form.
However, this evolution only required natural growth and subsequent promotion with a portion of Dragon Race resources, making it an extremely low difficulty.
Initially, Situ Yan's Sub-Dragon was at this stage.
However, companion beasts at this stage were already extremely rare and precious, and they could be considered Sub-Dragon breeds.
But a 100% probability was no longer just a possibility.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
This thing is a dragon's offspring!
As long as it grows and strengthens naturally, it can be called a dragon!
Some don't even need additional evolution.
Apparently, the Time's Tome's assessment was the latter.
Although, according to the Dragon Gate's assessment, it still needed to evolve once to become this estimated form of a Time Dragon.
But why? This doesn't make sense! Su Ping now understood why the Wax Dragon before him had gone to such lengths to bring him here, wanting to figure out what this mutated Time's Tome was all about.
And what was the reason for the mutation?
If they could figure it out, this rare time-type Dragon Race might truly have the potential to grow and flourish! It might even be possible to create a brand-new Dragon Palace within this Dragon City.
Just as he was thinking this, the Time's Tome opened again, and the words appeared on their own:
'Such a rich dragon aura! Human, you've gained the recognition of the future Time Dragon King!'
Su Ping's eyes twitched again. What a guy, a real-life 'Dragon King' indeed.
But he was indeed interested, and he smiled as he looked at the little creature:
"Since it's like that, can I see the Time Dragon King's abilities?"
As expected, as soon as Su Ping spoke, the blank page quickly displayed:
'Enough, enough. Humans who don't use their abilities naturally don't know the difference between this Dragon King and those other foolish lifeforms. But human, are you prepared? Since you want to see this Dragon King, this Dragon King will also see you!'
Su Ping smiled.
"How will you see me?"
As he thought of this, the Spirit Vision activated once more, and he turned his gaze to the so-called Time Tome in front of him.
At this moment, the Spirit Vision's mental probing finally met no resistance, but instead, the most direct observation appeared in Su Ping's heart:
【Mutated Time Tome (Wild) Age: None】
【Attribute: Time】
【Current Level: Overlord First Rank】
【Racial Potential: Overlord Fifth Rank】
【Skills: Super Time Shuttle (Entry), Super Illusory Dragon (Entry), Time Compression (Proficient), History Rewind (Entry), Fate Ledger (Proficient)】
Is this little thing just an Overlord rank?
And, super-tier skills?!
Su Ping's pupils flashed with light, and he looked at these special skills:
【Super Time Shuttle (Entry): To a certain extent, one can enter the projection of the current Time River, using oneself as a vessel and shuttle, traveling and ferrying.
When activating this skill, observing the past can only be done in an observational manner, and when observing the future, one will not have complete memory of the Time River and there is a high possibility of encountering numerous time paradoxes, with unknown consequences.
To activate this skill, one must use a person, object, or time as an anchor point. Otherwise, one will be completely lost in the Time River.】
(Note: After mastering this skill, the upper limit of the beast companion's racial potential is greatly reduced, and the speed of natural realm advancement is also significantly lowered!)
(Note 2: One cannot use a life form beyond one's own realm as an anchor point for the Time Shuttle.)
What the fuck?
Su Ping almost blurted out a curse.
So, what the Wax Dragon said was true?
This thing can actually enter the so-called Time River?
This is a bit ridiculous, isn't it?
Su Ping blinked and looked at the Time Tome in front of him.
However, he quickly froze.
The Time Tome was wide open at this moment.
On the open page, there was a lifelike portrait, and this portrait was none other than Su Ping himself.
Then, below it, a small illusory dragon was swaying slowly.
The pages kept turning, and this little dragon seemed to be in a comic strip, floating and moving.
With each page turn, it changed.
It was like the simplest 'cartoon'.
Is this the 'Time Shuttle'? So, at this moment, it is using itself as an anchor to see the future and the past?
Su Ping sucked in a breath of cold air and then continued to look at the remaining pages:
【Super Illusory Dragon: A special skill unique to the mutated Time Tome. By virtue of its origin, its soul can enter the observation of time, and even after the destruction of the Time Tome, its soul will not dissipate, and it will recreate the Time Tome.】
This skill is a bit like the Dragon Soul of the Dragon Race!
Perhaps this is why it considers itself to be of the Dragon Race!
Thinking of this, Su Ping nodded, perhaps this skill itself is a mutated Dragon Soul.
Compared to these two abilities, the following three skills also reveal some clues through their names.
Time Compression is a combat skill that compresses time's power.
Fate Ledger is the Time Tome's racial skill, allowing one to write on the pages and unleash powerful attacks in battle.
History Rewind allows one to observe things from the past through traces and remnants.
When Ye Zou's Hourglass first reflected the Ancient Flame Crow, it was this time-type skill that was used.
Su Ping thought for a moment and then continued:
"So, is it currently in the Time River? How long will it take for it to finish?"
"It's almost done. When you're just observing and not playing, time-type abilities have a great exemption from time itself."
Apparently, this seemed to be the case.
As soon as the Wax Dragon finished speaking, the Time Tome, which had been acting like a comic strip, instantly merged and closed tightly.
Then, to Su Ping's surprise, in the next second, his Bestiary, deep within his soul, suddenly surged forth!
The Bestiary flickered, and a strange new entry appeared in his heart with a prompt:
【Beast Companion Tome illuminated, reward obtained: Talent 'Historical Echo'!】
Hmm?
Su Ping was perplexed. How did this tome get illuminated?
There was clearly only one copy of this Time Tome.
But the problem was, how could the intimacy level be satisfied so easily?
However, apparently, this was the case.
And just as Su Ping was wondering what had happened, suddenly, the closed mutated Time Tome quickly opened by itself.
On the blank page, a line of ink quickly appeared, and its content, well, even the Wax Dragon beside Su Ping, the flame on its head, flickered and almost went out.
The previously disdainful tone took a sharp turn:
'Great Master! Meeting you is the greatest fortune for this Dragon King (strikethrough) little dragon!'
'(〃▽〃) (Cute)'
