Chapter 432: Ye Zhou's Arrival! Jiang Xuanji's Legacy!
Linzhou Airport.
Su Ping yawned and scanned the figures emerging from the exit, quickly searching for a familiar silhouette among them.
He felt a bit weary.
But he immediately spotted the young figure in the crowd, wearing silver-framed sunglasses and a distinctive silver shirt with oversized pants.
The shirt, made from the snow-scaled skin of the Silver Snow Python, was not only aesthetically pleasing but also kept him cool and spotless during the scorching summer days.
This was a true luxury garment.
Not the kind of trashy luxury brand, but a top-tier item that was truly exquisite in both cost and craftsmanship.
This shirt alone was worth several million.
After all, it was genuinely woven from the scales of a Sovereign-Class Beast.
This was also the reason why many people at the exit stared at this figure with curious gazes.
And it was clear that the wearer of this eye-catching shirt was none other than Ye Zhou, scanning the hall in search of Su Ping.
Soon, he locked onto Su Ping's figure and quickly walked over.
Ye Zhou opened his arms for a rare embrace, but Su Ping pushed him away, looking at his attire with suspicion:
"I didn't realize you were such a flashy person."
What status and wealth did Su Ping, the Beastmaster, possess? Even so, he was still wearing a regular silk T-shirt, while Ye Zhou was dressed in this extravagant outfit?
Su Ping was indignant!
Ye Zhou sighed with emotion:
"After graduating from the Foundation Academy, I was fortunate enough to receive the inheritance of Master Jiang Xuanji's legacy by chance, and then smoothly admitted to the Mysterious Capital Academy, has been in the academy for nearly four years,
The scholarship money I earned has always been donated to the orphanage where I grew up. Now that I've graduated, I've realized that making money isn't so difficult!"
Seeing Ye Zhou's emotional reaction, Su Ping was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Ye Zhou explained:
"A company in the Imperial Capital produced an ad in my name, and they paid me 20 million in advertising fees. I originally wanted to donate it all to the orphanage, but it scared Old Director Wang so much that he fell ill. Later, I returned the money.
Old Director Wang said there was no need to send money anymore and told me to live for myself. I didn't know how to spend this money, so I bought some things I couldn't afford before..."
At this point, Ye Zhou confidently turned around:
"Well, how's this outfit?"
Looking at his senior, several years older than him, with a confident look, Su Ping couldn't help but smile:
"Alright, you can go and impress the ladies later. Hurry home, and I'll take a rest."
Ye Zhou looked at Su Ping with suspicion:
"Did you slack off after your Professional Assessment? Su Ping, we've only just begun the Beastmaster's path. Overlord Rank is just..."
Su Ping waved his hand:
"What are you talking about? Get in the car."
Ye Zhou glared:
"Then what are you doing? Logically, with your cultivation realm strength, you shouldn't be tired after not resting for a day or two. Could it be..."
Ye Zhou patted Su Ping:
"I know Qin Xiaoxue and you are a perfect match, but you should still exercise some restraint..."
Su Ping glanced at him. He hadn't realized Ye Zhou was like this before. Could it be that after graduation, he had completely let go of himself?
"Restraint? I have important matters to attend to. Come on, I'm not in the mood to talk..."
After getting into the car and greeting Long Er, Long Er nodded, and the vehicle started, heading back to the All-Souls Heart.
Su Ping didn't deceive Ye Zhou about this.
Last night, he had indeed been busy with important matters all night.
Besides categorizing and storing the resources he brought for easy access when needed.
He didn't rush into research or other tasks.
Instead, he focused on something closely related to him.
Fatty's evolution.
Ever since the Ten Thousand Spirit Codex analyzed Fatty's mutated reason, and the host's devouring, which was like an epiphany, Fatty's evolution path became clear.
With the host's fusion connection, Fatty reached the Elite Ninth Rank, the peak limit of his original form.
In this state, Fatty's evolution became extremely frequent.
Under these circumstances, he only needed a powerful Psychic Attribute resource to complete his basic evolution.
In truth, Su Ping had the same thoughts.
Fatty's situation was truly unique.
Even the Mechanical Association had no such examples, and he could only continue to explore, especially since Fatty wasn't like Xiao Qing, born with a 'golden key'.
Hence, he first conducted a basic foundation evolution to test the waters, which wasn't a big deal.
However, Fatty clearly didn't agree with this approach.
The little guy looked a bit aggrieved.
But then again, he had indeed witnessed Su Ping's evolution and cultivation process for Qian Yi and Xiao Qing, which had consumed a lot of energy and resources.
When it came to Fatty, it seemed that Su Ping had indeed been a bit unfair.
It wouldn't be right to dismiss Fatty just because he wasn't good at combat, would it?
So, during the latter half of that night, Su Ping began to customize a last-minute cramming cultivation method for Fatty's upcoming evolution.
First, the cultivation method for entering dreams was unlikely to be achieved in a short time.
Su Ping couldn't possibly focus all his energy on this either.
Hence, the cultivation of advanced skills had to be placed entirely on the already-analyzed Fantasy Incarnation.
Additionally, he no longer used other high-level psychic-type resources to forcibly stimulate evolution with higher energy.
Instead, he chose another direction.
In the special magnetic field of the All-Souls Heart, there was a region formed by the mineral veins of Yuan Magnetic Gold.
Yuan Magnetic Gold was a designated mineral vein metal at the Imperial Capital Mechanical Association, which could potentially birth a Gold Elemental Core.
Therefore, during this late-night session, Su Ping could be said to have wracked his brains for Fatty.
He prepared to pull off something big.
Coincidentally, he delved deeper into the cultivation methods summarized in the Universal Beast Catalog.
Indeed, he had an abundance of Yuan Magnetic Gold.
Since that was the case, could he use a large amount of Yuan Magnetic Gold to create a special Gold Elemental Core, and awaken it as a mechanical core, thereby pushing Fatty's evolution to a higher limit?
Could this help develop the potential of Fatty's mutated skill, 'Host'?
To plan all this, Su Ping not only stayed up all night, but also exerted a lot of mental effort.
Obviously, Ye Zhou was unaware of these plans. After glancing at Long Er, who was driving, Ye Zhou finally couldn't help but ask: "Su Ping, that thing you mentioned on the phone..."
"What's the rush? You can always look at it later. But I want you to be prepared. That little thing... it's indeed quite special."
Hearing this, Ye Zhou became even more anxious.
But no matter how anxious he was, he could only wait at this moment.
Finally, they arrived at the All-Souls Heart's entrance. After the vehicle entered, Ye Zhou made his way to the reception room, where he eagerly looked towards Su Ping.
A bright light flashed.
The Timebook's figure appeared within the reception room.
Seeing Ye Zhou's bewildered gaze, Su Ping thought back to himself a few days ago in Dragon City.
Indeed, his gaze and expression were the same back then.
Back then, he had also felt the impact of the world view on himself.
"The Timebook's special mutation has led to changes in dragon-type companion beasts. Normally, after completing an evolution, it would become a true Time Dragon."
Before Su Ping could finish, Ye Zhou, who was currently in shock, began to caress the Timebook:
"Time, this is the wonder of time! I can feel it..."
Obviously, Ye Zhou didn't finish his sentence either. The Timebook's body suddenly opened, pulling away from Ye Zhou's palm. As the pages flipped, on the yellowing paper, lines of text appeared:
'Foolish human, your time-type talent is indeed impressive, but compared to the great Timebook, it's like nine cows to one hair. Moreover, I am destined to be your contracted beast. Don't harbor any foolish thoughts!'
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction.
He may be aloof and arrogant to outsiders, but to his master, he was loyal and trustworthy. Although the contract wasn't complete yet, such a good beast was worthy of becoming his contracted time-type beast.
Su Ping fully acknowledged this.
Hearing this, Ye Zhou's heart raced even faster. His second awakened talent was also time-related, and he understood this unique Time Dragon companion as well as, if not better than, Su Ping.
And it was precisely because of this that he knew Su Ping would never hand over such a beast.
Moreover, he didn't have the thick skin to ask for it.
Despite the pressure from Dragon City, there was something else on Ye Zhou's mind.
Suddenly, Ye Zhou's voice deepened. "Su Ping, can your little companion beast see into the past?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows, having already acknowledged Ye Zhou, he had nothing to hide, and nodded. "In theory, it's not just the past, but also a glimpse into the future. However,..."
Ye Zhou waved his hand, interrupting Su Ping's words with a hint of urgency. "The future is too uncertain, with countless minor time branches leading to billions of parallel timelines. Let's not even mention that. But the past is fixed, allowing for a clear and accurate glimpse. Its value and significance are far greater!"
At this point, Ye Zhou frowned slightly, then hesitated before finally making up his mind.
"Su Ping, in the legacy of Master Jiang, I received a special request from him—a skill concept so unique and extraordinary!"
However, even with Master Jiang's exceptional talent, he couldn't complete this cultivation. He only provided an idea.
Initially, I also believed that cultivating this skill was impossible. At most, one could use clever methods, determine the energy remnants of time, and perfect the time projection.
But after seeing your time-based companion beast, I see hope and potential!"
Looking at Ye Zhou's expression, Su Ping didn't rush to ask anything.
Instead, he rubbed his temples.
He already anticipated that he would encounter something that piqued his interest, but with his current time constraints, it wasn't suitable to explore a new research direction.
He had plenty on his plate already.
Nevertheless, Su Ping sighed, then spoke up directly. "What skill is it? Tell me about it!"
Ye Zhou exhaled and said, "Master Jiang's lifelong wish was to reverse time, using this to achieve his ultimate goal. However, reversing the flow of time is beyond human capability.
Even if there were time-based deities, achieving this step would still be impossible.
So, later on, he settled for a less ambitious goal—to develop an entirely new and unique skill. This skill would allow the deceased to be resurrected within historical contexts!"
Su Ping extended his hand, "Alright, stop talking..."
It wasn't that he didn't believe Ye Zhou's words.
It wasn't that he didn't acknowledge Master Jiang's ambition for a time-based ability, a feat unparalleled in the history of time manipulation.
It was just that he couldn't stand listening anymore.
He feared that if he continued listening, he might uncontrollably alter his plans again, incorporating this time-based skill into his research agenda.
His schedule was already packed.
Despite this, Su Ping's heart stirred.
Therefore, he once again faced the question that had been plaguing him these past few days.
Why can't humans learn the art of cloning themselves?
