Chapter 428: New Memories! Fatty's Intelligence Quiz!

Chapter 428: New Memories! Fatty's Intelligence Quiz!

As Su Ping anxiously awaited, Little Flame, who had been motionless, began to stir once more.

The abstract flame face, akin to a human visage, seemed to burp.

Sensing Su Ping's gaze, Little Flame appeared before him, saying, "Ssss... (I'm so full...)"

Su Ping smiled. Of course, Little Flame was full, having directly skipped several minor realms and reaching the Elite Peak.

Such a breakthrough speed, even for a pet beast, was unimaginable.

It was only because of this Flame Lord's unique ability that such a special effect was possible.

"How about it? In the memories I obtained this time, did you find any clues to the question I asked you last time?"

After defeating Chen Zhan yesterday and witnessing the combination of Chen Zhan's Azure Dragon with the Wind and Thunder Wings, Su Ping became curious about the secrets behind the fusion of this elemental pet beast.

The fusion of a Hurricane Elemental Sprite and a Thunder Elemental Sprite with an Azure Dragon was a skill cultivation method far beyond Su Ping's comprehension.

He was intrigued.

As a breeder with an insatiable curiosity, he instinctively sought answers whenever he encountered something interesting.

The result was rather helpless.

Little Flame shook his head, indicating that the Flame Lord's memories obtained this time did not provide an answer to this question.

Su Ping sighed in disappointment.

However, he quickly recovered and returned to normal, as it was only natural that the Flame Lord's memories, filled with countless knowledge and secrets, would not conveniently provide the answers he sought.

So, he curiously asked, "What about this time...?"

Little Flame's fiery figure swayed.

"Ssss... (Human... Su Ping... we are... friends! Without you, it would have been difficult for me to become the main body... friend, so I am grateful to you... rest assured!)"

Indeed, within Little Flame's spiritual connection, another unique memory emerged.

This memory contained three distinct things, revealing that Little Flame's massive consumption had awakened a significant portion of the Flame Lord's memories.

These three things were remarkably well-balanced.

Each was incredibly precious.

An ancient demonic elixir formula!

A fire-based elemental spirit layout!

And a fire-based skill cultivation method!

As expected, Su Ping's decision to keep Little Flame was absolutely correct. Aside from Little Flame's inherent value, the additional benefits were numerous!

With Su Ping's knowledge, the contents of these memories were unlike anything he had heard of before, likely ancient techniques lost in antiquity!

However, the first two were impossible to replicate in the imperial capital, and Su Ping was not in a hurry.

The last item, the fire-based skill cultivation method, was particularly noteworthy.

It was a skill type that Su Ping had some expertise in: Flame Avatar!

Indeed, this was an extremely unique type of avatar skill, somewhat similar to the External Body Incarnation, but with less impressive effects.

Nonetheless, it had its merits.

It could create minuscule flames, making them difficult to detect, and could even infiltrate an enemy's body for an internal assault.

This was the primary reason it was called Flame Avatar instead of Flame Clone.

It was a highly practical avatar skill.

However, for Su Ping, who had already mastered the External Body Incarnation cultivation method, it was merely an added bonus.

Smiling, Su Ping condensed a flame fruit with the current stage of his cultivation and offered it to Little Flame.

"Not bad, thank you! This is for you! But remember, don't quickly devour the other Flame Lord's fire spirits. Advancing too fast might not be a good thing!"

Su Ping's concern delighted Little Flame, who swayed his body again.

"Ssss... (Su Ping, you are a... good friend! If you don't force me... to contract... and become a pet beast, I will always be your friend...)"

Su Ping chuckled and nodded.

"Good! If you truly don't wish to, I won't force you."

This time, Su Ping did not deceive Little Flame. After spending so much time together, they had developed a deep bond.

Initially, Little Flame's aversion and rejection of humans were almost instinctual, but after learning about the Flame Lord's experiences, Su Ping could understand.

The most crucial factor was that Su Ping now had an excellent alternative.

The Timebook, when young, indeed had great potential and met Su Ping's expectations for a pet beast?

Although it seemed abstract as a dragon companion, the Super Time Shuttle skill was incredibly alluring to Su Ping.

He couldn't wait to explore and develop this little thing.

Upon hearing this, Little Flame paused slightly, seemingly surprised that Su Ping, who had been relentless, suddenly changed his attitude. With the increase in his intelligence accompanying his realm advancement, he seemed to have an indescribable feeling.

However, Little Flame quickly nodded and rushed towards a flame fruit, but then paused and said,

"Ssss... (Right, Su Ping... my friend, after this time, I have a better understanding...)"

"Ssss... (You and the other main body fire spirits... it's not devouring but... a fusion, so don't get it wrong...)"

Is there a difference?

Su Ping couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, but three seconds later, his brows furrowed.

Fusion?

He turned to look at Little Flame, but at that moment, Little Flame had already pounced on the flame fruit, beginning a true 'devouring.'

Seeing this, Su Ping did not interrupt with questions.

Instead, his brows furrowed deeper.

He seemed to have discovered a unique blind spot.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The Bestiary suddenly flips open at this moment.

A strange bestiary, once gray and dull, gradually lights up.

【Mechanical Companion Bestiary 'Fire Element Spirit' unlocked, granting the talent 'Elementalization' effect increase (1/5)!】

The commotion from the Bestiary interrupts Su Ping's thoughts, prompting him to take a glance:

【Bestiary: Fire Element Spirit】

【A special basic element spirit-type companion, a creature born from an elemental core, yet possessing a myriad of bizarre forms and extremely unique growth abilities.

Its racial potential is Elite Rank, and its racial skills are Elemental Body, Fireball Technique, Fire Heart, and more.】

【Current Bestiary Level: 1 (2500/5000)】

Known evolution charts and special cultivation methods:

【Fire Sovereign Flame Spirit: A basic form split from the legendary Fire Element Supreme Totem, possessing nearly limitless growth potential that ordinary fire element spirits lack.】

Likes and Habits:

【Feeds on flames and fire-type foods, enjoys high-temperature environments, has an active and playful personality, but is also prone to anger and irritability, being the most enthusiastic element spirit for combat.】

Log Record:

【Discovered and interacted with the special evolution chart 'Fire Sovereign Flame Spirit', fulfilling the intimacy requirements, gaining 2500 Bestiary experience!】

【This fire element spirit is a special branch evolution form. From now on, each day spent with it will grant 80 Bestiary experience!】

What a good fellow!

The previous hour of enlightenment was already extraordinary, but I didn't expect this little flame to be so remarkable too!

However, although it doesn't provide as much experience as the Timebook, it still indirectly proves that after such a long period of tireless effort, this little flame has thoroughly acknowledged me.

Thinking of this, Su Ping smiles, and his spiritual consciousness finally leaves the Beast Taming Space.

Let's not worry about the elemental fusion for now.

After all, in front of him, there are still the Origami Figure's Sovereign Rank evolution, Fatty's evolution, the exploration of Dream Skills, the independent consciousness clone of the Water Venerable's external body incarnation, the analysis of the mutated reason for the Hourglass, and the next evolution of the Rainbow Dragon.

The Bestiary has already prepared the analysis of the Crown Wolf King Tree's Extreme Yin Ground Spirit cultivation method, the cultivation method for the Cold Lord's external body incarnation, and the cultivation of the Cold Lord's external body incarnation.

Wow.

If I didn't calculate, I would have been truly startled.

I came to Dragon City for a trip, but how did I accumulate so many things to do?

Not to mention, back at my place, there's also the super-tier skill cultivation for the Ice Fang White Wolf with Old Liu.

Moreover, these are just the tasks related to companion research; there are also some optional tasks, like plugging some secret realm holes for the Imperial Astronomer's Yellow Sky Soldiers.

This is also quite important, as it is beneficial for me.

Thinking of this, Su Ping feels a bit of a headache.

He really wants to research and see if human beastmasters can learn the companions' 'External Body Incarnation' skill.

If so, he can complete these tasks simultaneously.

Unfortunately, this is a luxury wish.

However, Su Ping thinks for a moment and decides to prioritize these tasks.

Undoubtedly, the most important is the Origami Figure, as the situation at the Celestial Grave is special, and if he personally enters later, he will naturally need to prepare thoroughly.

Next is Fatty's evolution, dream skill development, and the exploration of the Cold Lord's external body incarnation. The realization of the fantasy manifestation in the Jade Dreamland is unlikely, as he can't obtain that inheritance.

As for the rest, it's relatively up to fate.

But...

These few days in the Imperial Capital shouldn't be wasted; from the situation, the cultivation of the Extreme Yin Ground Spirit, the further analysis of the Rainbow Dragon, and the Oceanic Convergence can all make progress in the Imperial Capital.

Therefore, during the upcoming stay, he will mainly focus on these aspects.

As for the other minor tasks...

Similar to the three special cultivation methods that the Little Flame just obtained, these can be given to the students of the Beast Taming Heart later.

Indeed, there's a reason and logic for breeding masters to mentor students.

Thinking of this, Su Ping recalls a matter he's been wanting to do.

As the knowledge of cultivation methods he grasps increases, it's not feasible to keep everything in his mind.

Currently, he has five students: Li Shu, Bai Cang, Guan Lili, Ding Xiaolong, and Zhao Qingqing.

In the future, if there are more and more students, it will be impossible for me to take care of them all, as I'm not that kind of teacher who can adapt teaching methods to individual students.

Therefore, the Beast Taming Heart also needs to build a library to collect and store this knowledge.

This is a necessary step for the Beast Taming Heart's rise to greatness.

Thinking of this future scene, Su Ping nods in satisfaction. Coincidentally, during a previous chat with 'Hourglass', this little fellow expressed great fondness for libraries.

Moreover, if I collect numerous Timebooks in the future, there's no better place to store them than a library.

Thinking of this, Su Ping sends Guan Qianshan a text, asking him to select a location for a library. After finalizing the library's site, Su Ping finally exhales in relief, opens the room door, and accepts Chen Zhan's invitation to have dinner with this young master of the Chen family.

This is a good opportunity to ask him about some questions and knowledge regarding elemental fusion.

Where three walk together, there's always a teacher among them. Su Ping's personality has always been open to learning from others.

And at this moment, in Su Ping's Beast Taming Space, a book slowly floats, its pages fluttering like wings, revealing lines of text:

'Truly worthy of being the future master's Beast Taming Space, so magnificent! Is this the extent of such a realm?!'

'Are those my two seniors? Hello, seniors! I'm the future contracted companion of the master!'

Hourglass waves its pages in front of Xiao Qing,

Xiao Qing takes a glance, seemingly not understanding why a book can fly.

'Senior is so cool! But wow, what a powerful clone skill! Indeed worthy of being the wolf king meticulously cultivated by the future master!'

'Oh, the senior's sword skills also seem extraordinary.

However, compared to the Sword Immortal recorded in history, there seems to be a gap in ability.

But as the master's pet, your future is indeed bright! Well, compared to me, who has the love of heaven and earth, there is still some disparity!

Qian Yi gave the object a dubious glance.

What is this thing doing, fluttering and swaying in the air?

However, it seems to be made of paper, and it's also Master's pet. Qian Yi couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Qian Yi flipped through the pages of the book and then left with a shake of his head, arriving at the place of flames, the Fire Cultivation Domain:

'Even possessing the ancient energy trait, the master is truly remarkable!!'

'Ah, such abundant energy!'

Soon, the little guy saw a small flame suckling on a fruit not far away.

It was truly 'visible'.

Because on the yellowed page, there was a lifelike eye drawn with ink, and it even blinked.

Clearly, Su Ping's situation here was clearly visible to Qian Yi.

Therefore, the little guy who had been flying straightened his back and approached the little flame.

On the yellowed page, a line of text slowly appeared:

'Truly a foolish elemental spirit! Actually refusing to become the master's pet... tsk tsk tsk...'

'But it's also good, compared to the wise and intelligent Dragon King, there is indeed a significant gap.'

'However, it's also good, this way, I can become the great master's contracted pet faster!'

The little flame stopped suckling the fruit, and the anthropomorphic flame eyes blinked, looking at the constantly appearing text on the strange book, tilting its head in apparent confusion.

Obviously, such actions made Qian Yi even more disdainful:

'Another illiterate? Tsk tsk tsk...'

'But it's also good, since ancient times, elemental spirits have never had that wisdom and brains, compared to the wise and intelligent Dragon King, there is indeed a huge difference.'

'But it's also good, this way, I can become the master's contracted pet faster!'

Qian Yi shook his head and continued to leave.

However, just as he turned around, a voice came from a distance:

"Who are you? Are you the master's new pet? Who are you calling illiterate?"

This voice made Qian Yi startled, and he looked towards the oval mechanical ball not far away, from which the voice emanated.

'Hmm? Another foolish elemental spirit, oh, this must be the so-called mechanical pet!'

'Huh, it's Senior! Greetings, Senior, I am the master's future contracted pet! Senior, please don't misunderstand! I'm saying that the master's pets are all extremely powerful, and they like to be straightforward.'

Qian Yi's book pages greeted the newcomer.

Fei Fei curiously 'looked' at this thing.

The master's new pet? Illiterate? Foolish?

Although he didn't know why it was written in the book, but...

This little thing is a bit arrogant!

So, Fei Fei thought:

"Is your knowledge and cultural level high? Since that's the case, let me test you!"

Qian Yi's 'wings' fluttered, and the ink on the page wrote: 'Senior, what kind of test do you want to give?'

Fei Fei thought again:

"Since you highly value culture, I'll give you a trial question!

Please listen carefully, the first question, what is the next line after 'A waterfall of three thousand feet'?"

Fei Fei's electronic voice still carried no emotion.

Qian Yi relaxed a little:

'A waterfall of three thousand feet, it seems like the Milky Way falling from the sky! It was written by the Saint Spirit-level Artifact-type Beastmaster, Qinglian Sword Immortal, one hundred and eleven years ago...'

Before Qian Yi could finish writing, Fei Fei interrupted:

"Wrong! This question has many answers, but the one you gave is not the correct one. Can the answer in the eyes of the world be the correct answer?"

'Huh?'

Qian Yi was a bit perplexed; this was different from what was written in the book!

Can the answer in the eyes of the world not be the correct answer? Fei Fei continued:

"A waterfall of three thousand feet, it's not the Yellow River that makes one fearless..."

'Huh?'

Qian Yi's book pages showed another question mark, but this '?' was much larger than the previous ones!

"Well, the next question, 'No worries on the road ahead without a companion'..."

'...'

"No worries on the road ahead without a companion, it's the west gate without an old friend..."

"Worn-out shoes, yet no place to find..."

'...'

"Worn-out shoes, yet no place to find, but the person is at the dimly lit place!"

"A dying man suddenly sits up and asks, where did the guest come from!"

'...'

"..."

After a long while,

Fei Fei looked at the book pages filled with question marks, and he had already started to doubt Qian Yi. He nodded in satisfaction:

"Little guy, wanting to become the master's pet, you still have a long way to go! You must learn to grasp this rebellious thinking!"

After speaking, Fei Fei rolled to the side, leaving only Qian Yi, who was perplexed by the wind.
