Chapter 577: The Crucial Question! Legendary Bodyguard!
Chapter 577: The Crucial Question! Legendary Bodyguard!
Once a year, the Breeder's Competition arrives, and it holds immense significance for all breeders across the Dragon Nation.
During this time, breeders from all provinces gather to showcase their breeding achievements.
Before the competition, the excitement builds up, and leaks of special materials and information fuel heated discussions online.
Many breeders feel a surge of anticipation.
However, those closely following the competition would never imagine that at this very moment, in the eastern suburbs of Linzhou, an event worthy of being recorded in history books is unfolding.
A day passes in the blink of an eye.
During this day, Su Ping doesn't rest for a moment.
Undoubtedly, his primary focus is on the Sea King's Arm, a matter of utmost importance.
Nothing could surpass the significance of this task.
Even after Xiao Huo Miao devoured countless Monarch-rank Flame Sovereign Avatars and broke through to the Imperial Rank, Su Ping didn't have much time to spare.
Indeed, there was no need for Su Ping to pay much attention.
Just like in the undersea volcano, as long as Xiao Huo Miao had the corresponding memories, it could master the Flame Sovereign's skills without much resource assistance. It only needed precise control over flames and complete energy circulation to comprehend and integrate them.
This ability and technique were enviable to other beasts, unless they also had a Legendary-rank soul origin.
Therefore, there was no need to worry about Xiao Huo Miao. Instead, Su Ping, after receiving its feedback, achieved the first rank breakthrough in the Imperial Rank, becoming a second-rank Beastmaster.
This didn't bring about any significant changes for Su Ping, except perhaps that he could now use his 'Overclocked Spirit' talent for a slightly longer duration.
At this very moment, an extremely secretive aircraft arrived from the Imperial Capital and hovered above the Ten Thousand Souls Heart.
The passengers on this aircraft were none other than the two individuals from the Imperial Capital—the Holy Dragon Legend and the President of the Breeder's Association, Elder Feng, who was at the top of the breeding industry in the Dragon Nation.
This further highlights the immense allure and power of an entirely new category of beast.
Their arrival brought great relief to Su Ping and Zhu Hong.
This matter was of utmost importance.
As soon as they arrived, they informed Elder Feng and the Holy Dragon Legend about the situation.
No one else, not even Cold Grandpa, spoke up.
The implications were enormous and unimaginable.
The Holy Dragon Legend and Elder Feng, who had maintained their composure even in the face of great challenges, couldn't contain their excitement.
They almost lost their composure.
Elder Feng, over 130 years old, led the way, and they headed straight to Zhu Hong's laboratory.
Seeing their excitement and awe, Su Ping understood the gravity of the situation.
The three of them returned to Zhu Hong's laboratory, where they immediately spotted the creature in the water tank.
In just one day, the Sea King's Arm had advanced in rank again, reaching the Ordinary Ninth Rank.
This was not surprising, given that it was the remains of a Holy-rank beast with an extraordinary foundation.
With Meng Yao and Zhu Hong's almost unlimited resource supply, the Sea King's Arm had ample nourishment. It slept well, digested its advancements, and could advance again in just a few days, possibly reaching the Elite Rank.
"Saint Dragon?"
"Elder Feng?"
Two voices echoed, but they ignored Zhu Hong and Meng Yao, moving directly to the Sea King's Arm.
Gazing at this creature, it was hard to believe it was a pet beast. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and turned to look at Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't attempt it this time; he had tried many times throughout the day. Instead, he looked directly at Meng Yao.
Meng Yao understood and picked up the creature again. With a closer soul connection, he instantly completed the fusion.
Meng Yao's arm transformed into a piece of azure-blue kirin arm, and he once again activated the water shield, a skill he had used countless times.
"Is it really like this? It can allow a beast tamer's spiritual power to merge with the skill ability of a pet beast, enhancing the tamer's combat power even further!"
Although it was just a water shield skill, the two observers' eyes were sharp, and they instantly grasped the essence of this technique.
Currently, it was just a water shield, but what about future breeding? Once fully cultivated, if it reached the Holy Spirit Rank and merged with its owner, the combat power it unleashed would likely far exceed the sum of 1+1=2.
Such an enhancement.
It was uncertain if it could rival the revolutionary impact of mechanical pet beasts.
However, it would undoubtedly boost the combat power of Dragon Country's beast tamers significantly.
Holy Dragon Legend saw the potential in combat power, while Elder Feng, considered the breeding aspect. Unlike Holy Dragon Legend's excitement, Elder Feng slightly furrowed his brows and looked at Su Ping.
"Su Ping, the creation process of this beast... Of course, I don't mean to pry, but I want to say that if only you can create this unique pet beast, it can only be considered a remarkable and distinctive one.
It cannot form a new type of pet beast with a massive impact in a short time. You understand what I mean, right?"
Indeed, the president of the Beast Breeders Association hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.
A new species of pet beast could be mass-produced or even farmed.
Although mechanical pet beasts couldn't be bred and were quite luxurious, the gold elemental core and information activation still made their birth process complete.
They could be mass-produced.
However, this possessing-type pet beast, from a certain perspective, was a variant of an elemental pet beast. If only Su Ping could create it, it wouldn't qualify as an entirely new type of pet beast but merely a mutated special elemental beast.
Therefore, this was the most crucial decision!
Upon hearing this, Su Ping fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, even Su Ping couldn't guarantee that he could mass-produce this pet beast. Whether it was life carving or soul sculpting, it was inseparable from Su Ping himself.
Such an ability could either be taught to others or completed with semi-finished resources.
However, it was obvious that this would be extremely difficult.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Ping nodded.
"Although I don't have a complete method yet, everything is possible with effort. The most challenging step has already been developed. The rest may not be as difficult; it's just a matter of time!"
Su Ping's confidence stemmed primarily from his unique abilities.
The second evolution of the Ten Thousand Souls Heart's Annihilation Eye was Su Ping's ace, and if that wasn't enough, the newly opened simulation of an entirely new type of pet beast in the Ten Thousand Souls Heart would allow him to quickly find the essence and perfect it without any damage.
Elder Feng nodded.
"Su Ping..."
He wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words.
The young man before them had accomplished in a few short years what a beast breeder would dare not imagine in a lifetime.
Even leaving a legacy in history was a certainty for this young man, but achieving it in such a way would be like engraving a more brilliant king pearl on the crown of a beast breeder, an exhilarating thought.
No one asked about Elder Feng's hesitation.
It was because the impact of what they witnessed was unparalleled.
Even though it wasn't yet fully perfected.
However, there was a crucial outcome, just as Su Ping said. The rest was a matter of polishing.
Holy Dragon Legend, having regained his composure, spoke slowly.
"Su Ping, although you understand the importance, this matter must remain confidential. Not even those present here should let others know about it!"
His solemn expression ensured everyone took it seriously, including Meng Yao, who was all attention.
This is indeed a matter that cannot be taken lightly.
The birth of a new type of pet beast!
If news of this were to leak out, not to mention anything else, even the legendary existence in Eagle Nation, that cunning hawk, would likely come to assassinate Su Ping personally.
This is no exaggeration.
The emergence of a brand-new species of pet beast represents immense potential and countless new breeding paths, which undoubtedly signifies a golden path yet to be paved.
If they don't get a share of this, those legendary beastmasters, and even the Ferocious Beast Empire, will go crazy with assassination attempts.
At this thought, even Su Ping shuddered.
Even with Qian Yi's presence, he can directly confront a Holy Rank opponent, but it doesn't mean he can truly defeat other Holy Rank beastmasters, let alone a legendary one.
So, he spoke up directly, "Apart from Elder Zhu and Jiaojie, Naya should also know about this, but she probably doesn't know that I've succeeded yet."
The Holy Dragon Legend frowned, "Jiaojie... How's her situation?"
If he had known that Su Ping could achieve this in just two years, he would never have agreed to let Jiaojie mess with that external incarnation.
Compared to a completely new type of pet beast, an external incarnation is nothing!
Su Ping nodded, "It's almost done. I've found a reasonable solution. Once the materials and preparations are ready, it should be resolved."
"That's good. Speaking of which, she's also a potential ally, and compared to the Water Sovereign's original body, she holds much less ill-will towards my Nine Dragons Country."
The Holy Dragon Legend breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the front is united, there usually won't be any trouble.
Moreover, most people probably wouldn't believe it even if they heard about it.
Despite Su Ping already creating countless miracles, if someone were to say that he could create an entirely new type of pet beast, others would think he's either gone mad or crazy.
This is what common sense would dictate.
However, this Holy Dragon Legend is known for his meticulousness, so after some thought, he extended his hand, and a beam of light appeared before everyone.
A small, white figure lightly leaped into view.
It was none other than the White Tiger.
"From today onwards, I won't be bringing Xiao Bai with me. Xiao Bai, from now on, you will personally protect Su Ping's safety."
"This... Saint Dragon, is this appropriate?"
The Holy Dragon Legend didn't speak, but the White Elder beside him said,
"Alright, Su Ping. Since the master has said so, from now on, I, the Great Elder, will protect you, meow! Work hard, meow!"
Throughout history, few have received the personal protection of a legendary-ranked pet beast.
Even Su Ping felt it was too much to bear.
However, he seemed to remember something and took this opportunity to ask the White Elder a condition he had forgotten before:
"Saint Dragon, may I make a request of you?"
The White Elder waved his hand, "Speak directly. Once the possession-type pet beast is successful, even if you want to empty my treasure trove, it's no problem."
Thinking of the White Elder's incredibly luxurious treasure trove, Su Ping's heart stirred, but he still said, "It's not about that. It's about something else. I want to ask you to move Elder Meng's cultivation place to the Ten Thousand Souls Heart. Is that possible?"
"Meng..."
The Holy Dragon Legend instinctively glanced at Meng Yao beside him.
But he quickly realized that Su Ping was referring to someone else, "Meng Yan? Or should I say Meng Huang Liang?"
Su Ping nodded.
This legendary spy, who had reached the pinnacle of dream cultivation, was no longer a threat to Su Ping.
If possible, he wanted to take the time to perfect the cultivation he had long wanted to cultivate.
"No problem. I'll give the order, and I think the assassination attempts from Eagle Nation have stopped. You should be safe here.
But, you should prepare for the upcoming Breeder Competition. Let's see if we can discover a genius like you."
Everyone laughed, but they all knew it was impossible.
