Chapter 434: Su An Yong's Return! The New Ice Super Rank!
Chapter 434: Su An Yong's Return! The New Ice Super Rank!
Beiyuan Province.
Even at this time of year, the scorching heat from other regions of Dragon Nation was absent here.
In the land of Beiyuan, Ice-type Beast Companions dominated, and Undead-type Beast Companions were also prevalent, all belonging to the Yin-Cold energy category. Over time, the very air they breathed had a lasting effect on the temperature.
At this moment, within the Beiyuan Legion...
Cold Sir stretched lazily, then calmly looked at the perplexed man before him and smiled, "What's wrong? Breaking through to a higher realm is something that others would be overjoyed about. But why do you look so lifeless, young man? Could it be that you're not prepared for the resources needed for the breakthrough? That's not right, is it? The Manjusaka, after all, has the ability to enhance the Beastmaster's space attributes after breaking through, doesn't it?
And it's quite rare to have special space attributes like Undead, Wood, and even Poison, all at the same time, right?"
Su An Yong scratched his head and then nodded, "Of course, I'm happy. The Emperor Rank is something even the old man couldn't achieve in his lifetime. But, Second Uncle, there's something off about this, isn't there? Now that I've been promoted, how will I lead those kids into the Heavenly Tomb? Weren't we told that only Sovereign Rank Beastmasters are allowed to enter the Heavenly Tomb on the Eagle Nation's side? But now..."
Cold Sir smiled and replied with a hint of mockery, "You don't need to go. The leader for the Heavenly Tomb expedition will be someone else!"
"Hmm?" Su An Yong was taken aback and then frowned, "But those kids were trained by me..."
After a moment of contemplation, he cautiously asked the man above him, "Is there some dissatisfaction from higher-ups regarding my connection with the Heavenly Tomb expedition and my family?"
Cold Sir laughed and said, "Yes, I did tell you, didn't I? Even Lord Wolf has spoken up, asking if this Heavenly Tomb Beastmaster Unit belongs to Dragon Nation or the Su family. It's a serious matter."
"But initially..."
Just as Su An Yong was about to speak, he paused and looked at the handsome man above him with suspicion. He was so young-looking that he seemed more like a junior than Su An Yong's Second Uncle, "Second Uncle, even if someone said that, it couldn't have been Lord Wolf, could it?
And if it wasn't Lord Wolf, why would you care about them?"
Cold Sir smiled, acknowledging that the Su family father and son were indeed sharp and not easily fooled. "Why think so much? As a member of the legion, just follow the orders."
It was clear that the more Cold Sir said this, the more suspicious Su An Yong became.
"So, are you willing to provide the Manjusaka for me? Just to help me break through to the Emperor Rank, isn't that a bit extravagant?"
Cold Sir waved his hand, unable to withstand the intense gaze from Su An Yong any longer, "Alright, this item is your son's achievement! Remember, you owed Su Ping a favor, and this little guy has been getting more and more promising. So, we don't need that favor anymore.
A few days ago in Dragon City, the two of us decided to give it to you."
Su An Yong blinked, although what Cold Sir said made sense and the logic was sound, at this moment, Su An Yong felt that something was amiss.
After thinking for a while, Su An Yong finally spoke, "Can I ask, since I won't be leading the expedition into the Heavenly Tomb, do I still need to continue training and leading the Heavenly Tomb Beastmaster Unit?"
Cold Sir nodded, "Yes, you should continue leading them. After all, you have so much experience, and changing leaders at the last moment is a major taboo in military strategy."
As expected, upon hearing this, Su An Yong's suspicions grew even stronger.
Then, he abruptly asked, "Second Uncle, can I ask who will be leading the expedition into the Heavenly Tomb in my place?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense. After an awkward ten seconds, Cold Sir slammed the table in anger, "Su An Yong, are you questioning my orders? Are you planning something?"
To be honest, under normal circumstances, Su An Yong would have been intimidated.
However, today seemed different. Su An Yong stared at Cold Sir with suspicion and said, "Second Uncle, do I even need to seek revenge? Entering the Heavenly Tomb isn't a pleasant task. If not for the Heavenly Tomb, I could have broken through to the Emperor Rank by now, right?
And for such a task, why would there be a sudden change in leadership?
Moreover, if it were a simple change in leadership, why would you give me the Manjusaka?"
As the discussion continued, Su An Yong's expression grew increasingly grim, his face turning ashen. He slammed his hand on the table, addressing the man before him.
"Old Master, I and Chun'er have only this one son! Su Chong Guang has only this one grandson. And what right does Su Ping have to take such a risk?"
"Nonsense! What's this about an Emperor Rank and a Manjusaka? I don't need my son's life to break through!"
Cold Ao, let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation for this, I'll go underground and talk to the old man himself. This is how you treat the Su family?"
Watching Su An Yong's eyes turn red with anger, his heavy breathing resembling that of a wind machine, Cold Ao poured himself a cup of Cold Snow Frost Tea, a drink he rarely indulged in himself.
"Isn't there a reason for this? Moreover, it's useless to get angry about this matter. Not only has Su Ping requested it, but the Holy Dragon has also agreed."
"What? He's going there? You agreed to his request?"
This little rascal has grown wings? Does he think he's number one in the Youth Assessment and can do whatever he wants?
And that man, is he..."
Su An Yong opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to curse. He managed to hold back his words, but the latter was too much for him to utter.
Cold Ao paused before continuing,
"The situation is... it's quite complicated. The main culprit is Charles, that bastard from across the ocean. But that good-for-nothing Meng Yao, he's always thinking about playing around. Even with the means of an astral body, he couldn't stop him."
Cold Ao smacked his lips and continued,
"You know about the press conference your son held, right? After that, Charles showed up and used some tricks, planting a Heavenly Tomb Imprint on Su Ping. That imprint is extremely special; even the Holy Dragon couldn't remove it without affecting Su Ping's soul and consciousness.
Only by entering the Heavenly Tomb can it be removed, of course with some risks involved. But there are also many benefits.
Not to mention, if Su Ping can complete this successfully, his status in the Dragon Nation and even on Blue Star will be unshakable. He will become the Holy Dragon's undisputed successor. I estimate it's almost time now."
"What?"
Su An Yong glared.
"Is this brat going to the Heavenly Tomb because of this?"
Cold Ao sucked on his teeth.
"That's not it. Speaking of which, I think your boy isn't too interested in being a successor. His mind is entirely focused on your family's territory.
Damn it, in this regard, he's a bit like Su Chong Guang...
The reason he wants to go is probably because he's curious about the Heavenly Tomb and extremely resentful towards Charles. He wants to study the man's methods and eliminate him in the future.
Moreover, the Heavenly Tomb has some influence on him, so he naturally wants to remove it quickly. Of course, the influence can also be considered a fortunate opportunity..."
At this point, Cold Ao scratched his head in frustration.
"Damn it, aren't we going to Linzhou soon? If you have something to say, go ask your live-in father yourself. I said from the beginning that if he has something to say, he should tell you himself.
But he's using the Heavenly Tomb Imprint to morally blackmail me. At my age, I still have to let the two of you spit water to bear the first wave of attacks.
Damn it, I'm only doing this for Su Chong Guang's sake. Humph..."
Su An Yong looked at Cold Ao, who was grumbling in discontent. This old man is acting like a victim now?
But he's right. There's nothing more to say to this old ghost. After returning, I'll have that little rascal explain himself.
"When are we leaving?"
"After Old Ghost Yin finishes, he'll bring his female apprentice. Oh, and we need to make a stop at the Imperial Capital. Zhu Hong will also be joining us on the trip to Linzhou."
Thinking of this, Cold Ao rubbed his face.
"Damn it, these two old guys are like they have a sickness. They have their own private jets, but to save on energy cores, they have to hitch a ride with me. I must've owed them in my previous life."
Half an hour later.
The unique triangular shape of the Sky Splitter reappeared in the sky,
Inside the cabin, Jian Yue, slightly nervous alongside Yin Luo,
But thinking about the upcoming trip, she was finally about to meet the legendary Su Ping, the Dragon Nation's renowned breeder. Jian Yue's excitement grew as she anticipated this encounter.
The development of the Origami Beast, she had already seen. If not for her task within the legion, she would have eagerly tried it out.
And now, it's time to go and see that person again.
This opportunity is even more precious than meeting Jian Yue's teacher. Even the Dragon Nation's only Undead-type breeding master, who is also the sole master in Linzhou, is more valuable.
But after boarding the plane, why did Instructor Su and Ghost Sage remain in the private lounge and not come out? What are the two of them discussing?
Indeed, that's the case.
Cold Lord rubbed his brow, repeating over and over:
"It's fine, really, it's fine. I've already said it. The Heavenly Tomb Imprint only has a certain degree of spiritual disturbance.
But, Holy Dragon personally created that Calming Spirit Potion with the Spirit Dragon King in the Emerald Dreamland. Didn't you see that Su Ping had no issues during the assessment?
Not only that, there are some benefits. Haven't you seen that the kid has already reached Overlord Rank 10?
This includes the influence of the Heavenly Tomb Imprint."
Su An Yong still asked with reluctance:
"But, no matter what, under spiritual disturbance, there will be some impact, right? Won't it affect the mental state? Will it also affect the development of beast breeding research?"
Cold Lord's eyebrows furrowed slightly:
"Well... it's hard to say. But, Holy Dragon also said that Su Ping doesn't need to rush any research progress. After the Heavenly Tomb matter is resolved, everything will be fine!
I guess, for beast development and breeding, there will be some impact, right?"
Su An Yong's eyebrows also slowly furrowed:
"Indeed, that's how it is. Old Master Yin, why don't you say it? Let's change the breeding of those origami beasts in the Heavenly Tomb a little, without disturbing Su Ping's meditation and realm progress.
Old Master Yin, why don't you just take charge? After all, he's also our Dragon Nation's only Undead-type breeding master..."
"Are you fucking telling me this is useful? You're the instructor! He's the breeding master, why don't you go and tell his old man yourself?"
For the first time, Cold Lord felt that this most valued late-generation relative, even more capable of tormenting him than the Holy Dragon on the phone.
He quickly grabbed the intercom and spoke to the cockpit:
"Xing, order the Skybreaker to proceed at full speed to the Imperial Capital Breeder Association building rooftop."
As he finished speaking, Su An Yong quickly added:
"Old Master, what's Instructor Zhu going to Linzhou for? Is it because of Su Ping?"
Cold Lord was about to lose his temper, wishing he could open the window and throw Su An Yong out of this high-altitude aircraft.
But after a few seconds, he forcefully regained his composure:
"Rest assured, if that old man goes, it won't be Zhu Hong but Holy Dragon. So, from now on, don't call me 'Old Master' anymore. You're my grandson, right? Let's keep quiet, shall we?"
Su An Yong opened his mouth, then turned to look at Cold Lord, whose eyes were wide open. Obviously, he was about to speak, but Cold Lord was ready to force him to sleep. He closed his mouth and looked out the window at the clouds.
Finally, in the quiet, after a while, the Sky Splitter arrived at the Imperial Capital Breeder Association building rooftop.
Zhu Hong, who had been waiting, boarded the Sky Splitter with a smile.
As the vice-president of the Breeder Association, and with the prospect of soon advancing to Holy Spirit Rank, Cold Lord and the others accompanied him back into the cabin. They welcomed his arrival.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they sat back in the cabin, and Cold Lord finally asked the question that Su An Yong had posed earlier:
"By the way, what's Instructor Zhu going to Linzhou for? Does Su Ping have something to ask of you?"
Obviously, Linzhou was the only place Su Ping could be.
Indeed, that was the case. Zhu Hong, facing everyone's questioning gazes, nodded and smiled:
"That's right. He also told me last night. This little guy is indeed a breeding genius that our Dragon Nation rarely sees in a thousand years.
Just now, after returning to Linzhou, it seems he and the president of the Jianghai Breeder Association, Liu Fuhai, bred an unprecedented Super Rank Ice Attribute skill.
Wow, another Super Rank skill. Since knowing this little guy, it seems Super Rank skills are like nothing to him.
As a breeder with some achievements in elemental breeding, he asked me to go and help with the evaluation and record it in the Dragon Nation Breeder Association's archives.
Tsk tsk, he's truly remarkable. This time, in Dragon City, although our research was unsuccessful, but this little guy..."
Speaking of Su Ping, Zhu Hong smiled and spoke with admiration and even a hint of reverence.
However, at this moment, Su An Yong, who should have felt proud, turned his head slightly and looked at Cold Lord beside him with a puzzled expression:
"Wait, didn't you just say something different?"
