Chapter 606: The Event Ends! Stay Tuned!
Three First-Place Prizes!
Three companion beasts to be evolved!
Su Ping wasn't sure if Fifi had secretly rigged the results, but he doubted it, as he had strictly instructed it not to do so beforehand.
After all, there was still Little Eight to consider.
All the little ones present couldn't help but look at the two winners with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Old Sha, they wouldn't feel envious or jealous, Laosha knew.
Even Little Crow understood that they, as latecomers, could never compare to Old Sha's place in Su Ping's heart.
Moreover, Old Sha hadn't made any significant breakthroughs in a long time.
Old Sha's advancement and evolution wouldn't evoke envy or jealousy.
But that damn Bloodbone Skeleton Tree, who had no regard for a strong fighter's dignity, and the lazy Little Eight, who only knew how to bask in the sun, had been in the Soul of All Spirits for a year and hadn't even reached the Monarch-level racial limit. Currently, it was only at the Overlord-level peak.
What made these two worthy?
If this wasn't sheer luck, then what was it?
However, it was clear that luck was the most elusive thing of all.
No one could explain it well.
The only thing worth mentioning was that Little Eight didn't have any real competitors, and as the mascot of the Soul of All Spirits, it was only natural that no one would challenge it. As for Bloodbone Skeleton Tree, it was evident that many of the little ones were glaring at it with ill intent.
Facing this scene, Su Ping didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "The three first-place prizes have been decided. I believe you three wouldn't choose the 4000 points, right?"
Old Sha, with a beaming smile, didn't seem to mind. He looked at Bloodbone Skeleton Tree and Little Eight with the indulgent gaze of a doting elder towards their mischievous offspring. The two quickly waved their hands in refusal.
A chance to evolve, especially for their grades, was far more valuable than a few thousand points.
After the atmosphere calmed down a bit, Su Ping spoke, "Since that's the case, I'll announce the final grand prize draw for the Soul of All Spirits!"
Grand Prize.
"Last year, the winner could ask me for anything. At that time, the grand prize winner was Little Crow, Ya Ya. Ya Ya asked that the Soul of All Spirits family stay together.
This was a promise I made to the little one, and it wasn't a condition they proposed. Later, this little one asked me to give it a name!
This year's grand prize is the same. The winner can ask me for anything, but it must be something I can do and accomplish; otherwise, it won't count!"
Su Ping said with a beaming smile.
Suddenly, several who hadn't won yet looked expectantly at the big screen.
As Su Ping spoke, Fifi caused the numbers on the big screen to flash rapidly.
In fact, there were only a few companion beasts left out of the hundred or so, and after excluding Su Ping's contracted and breeding beasts, as well as the dragons who were just there for show, the suspense was limited to a few.
The numbers on the big screen slowed down.
The entire venue held its breath, waiting to see who would win the ultimate grand prize.
Finally, a number slowly appeared.
'044!'
All the little ones checked their numbers.
Soon, they turned their gaze to a large figure not far away.
Yes, it was him!
Boulder Mountain Spirit Taishan looked around and up at the stands, still dazed from the intense battles during the duel competition, where he had fought against Sword Forest and subsequent opponents, consuming a lot of energy.
Although Su Ping had prepared plenty of food for him, he still felt a bit hungry.
At this moment, he was somewhat dazed.
Instantly, all the little ones' eyes were on him.
Taishan looked up at the stands, then suddenly realized what was happening and glanced at his number. He jumped up in excitement, causing the entire ground to tremble.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
His belated excitement left many of the little ones feeling indignant.
How could such a fool win the grand prize?
Would a fool like this know what kind of condition or request to make?
As it turned out, Taishan wasn't stupid.
After all, he was a Monarch-level elemental companion beast.
Although earth element spirits were generally known for their honest and simple-minded nature, Taishan's intelligence was far superior to that of ordinary companion beasts, something Su Ping had experienced firsthand.
Su Ping, too, looked at this fellow with great interest.
He was also very curious about what kind of request this creature would make.
Would it be for a powerful resource, a super skill, or perhaps the cultivation of an evolutionary body?
Companion Beasts, by their very nature, instinctively seek strength; it's only natural.
This is the innate drive of every living being.
It's quite normal, after all, not every little one can possess the kind of awareness that Little Crow has.
However, this time, Su Ping's guess was off.
He had underestimated this seemingly simple-minded but actually quite cunning Boulder Mountain Spirit, Taishan.
Taishan pondered for a moment and then spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "I want the Soul of All Spirits, and I also want my kin and their habitat!"
Indeed, this request seemed reasonable and even aligned with Su Ping's interests.
Taishan's insight was far superior to that of the other companion beasts.
The Heart of Earth is the Heart of Earth, and a Heart of Stone is not an absolute necessity.
But over the past six months, Taishan had not just been sleeping all the time.
This creature had keen observation skills, especially after sleeping in various places and interacting with numerous companion beasts.
It must have realized that in every region of the Soul of All Spirits, Su Ping would focus on nurturing a companion beast as a role model for the others to follow.
For example, in the Heart of Phoenix, there was Little Crow, in the original Heart of Wood, there was Old Sha, and in the Heart of Water, there was the Dreamlight Aurora Butterfly. There were even more in the Heart of Forest.
Because of this, Taishan, being the only Earth element spirit among the giant stone mountain spirits, clearly noticed this pattern. If it could also become the representative companion beast of a region, what couldn't it have in the future?
Making such a request in public was not unreasonable, and it was certainly not selfish.
Therefore, after some thought, Taishan proposed these conditions.
This not only let those foolish companion beasts know that this seemingly insignificant large stone was also a part of the Soul of All Spirits, but it also made Su Ping, the 'master', aware of Taishan's sincere dedication to the Soul of All Spirits.
Indeed, when Taishan voiced this condition, Su Ping was momentarily surprised and looked at this big fellow in awe.
He nodded, "Good, it's perfect timing. In a while, the secret realm entrance in the Crumbling Stone Mountains will open soon. I'll try to find some of your kin then!"
Five months ago, when the Proud Dragon was damaged, the Mirror Saint from the Dong family, who Su Ping had helped join the Celestial Surveillance Bureau, had promised to help Su Ping relocate the secret realm entrance from the Crumbling Stone Mountains.
After the relocation, it would take a few months to half a year for the spatial entrance to stabilize, becoming a sustainable resource-type secret realm of immeasurable value.
Based on speculation, this secret realm was likely to be Earth-attributed, and the original Taishan might have even come from there.
Naturally, there would be no better place than that secret realm to find Taishan's kin.
However, what slightly troubled Su Ping was the matter of location.
If they were to build the Heart of Stone, and if all the creatures were as large as Taishan, the development of the Heart of Stone would be an enormous project.
Although the entire area east of Linzhou, covering several dozen li around Xulong Lake, now belonged to the Su family, finding such a place would not be an easy task.
As for whether to place the Heart of Stone in the unknown Earth-attributed secret realm, Su Ping was not optimistic. The dangers within such a secret realm would likely be immense, and while it could be developed, making it as safe as their backyard seemed unlikely.
Therefore, he didn't consider Taishan's deeper intentions for the time being and focused entirely on the challenges of implementing this proposal.
In summary, he had a lot to learn.
With the final draw coming to an end, the entire lottery segment concluded.
Please...Collect...Book...6191...(Six...Nine...Book...Bar!)
The conclusion of this final segment also marked the end of the two-day-long New Year celebration at the Soul of All Spirits.
Su Ping exhaled and said, "The new year has come to an end. You can exchange your points later at your convenience. In the coming year, I hope we can all strive together to take the Soul of All Spirits to the next level! And let's make the future of you little ones even brighter!"
"Roar!"
"Whoosh!"
"Huff!"
"..."
The entire Soul of All Spirits erupted into a sea of excitement once again.
The members of the Sky Grave Troops sat on the sidelines, witnessing this scene, and for the first time, they truly understood that Su Ping, the seemingly carefree shop owner, held a significant place in the hearts of all the companion beasts in the Soul of All Spirits. They finally realized how important he was to them.
The young Beastmaster above, no longer a boy, seemed to always have a radiant aura around him.
Not only did he captivate countless people, but also countless companion beasts, who willingly followed by his side.
This was the simplest thought in the hearts of all the Sky Grave Troops members.
However, if Su Ping knew of their thoughts, he would firmly interrupt them and reveal an unknown fact.
Among those willingly following him, there were definitely not the majority of aquatic companion beasts!
Those were genuine, hard-to-tame white-eyed fish!
At this moment, Ah Mei beside them sighed and spoke, "Master Su, at such a young age, already possesses such charm. It seems the rumors are true!"
"What rumors?"
Meng Huangliang, beside her, asked in surprise.
Although he still firmly believed that this was just a dream designed to deceive him, he wanted to know the dream's setup.
The spiritual consciousness of this unknown young boy had indeed left a deep impression on him.
It was an extraordinary experience he had never had in over a decade.
Ah Mei smiled, "Old Meng, aren't you uninterested in Master Su?"
Meng Huangliang turned to her, "Never mind, don't say it."
Ah Mei quickly replied, "Alright, alright, these are just rumors, and they involve that person. It's all hearsay, and no one knows if they're true or not."
She continued, "But there's a legend among the higher-ups that Master Su might take over Dragon City in the future!"
Meng Huangliang showed no surprise or any other emotion. Instead, he scoffed lightly, "Take over Dragon City? Is that how your Eagle Nation designed the dream? To let a young man in his early twenties take over Dragon City?
Do you even know what Dragon City represents? Do you think the Sacred Dragon Lord of my Dragon Nation is some commoner?
Perhaps only the cunning eagles of your Eagle Nation, with their lack of grand ambitions and their focus on petty schemes and small-mindedness, could come up with such a lowly method to create a self-consistent dream world!"
He was extremely disdainful, almost as if he had seen through everything, which made Ah Mei smile and roll her eyes at him.
After so many years together, their relationship had indeed grown beyond that of a typical caregiver and patient.
"Hmph, when you regain your sanity and realize which world is real, you'll understand how it feels when your own words come back to hit you like a boomerang!" Ah Mei said, not bothering to get angry.
Meng Huangliang frowned slightly.
Having spent many years with Ah Mei, he could sense that her personality was quite stable, and there was likely no other consciousness controlling her from behind the scenes.
Therefore, he had already simulated the temperament of this 'agent' from the Eagle Nation.
Logically, Ah Mei would never speak so confidently, so why was she so certain today?
He was puzzled and directly asked, "You've never been this confident before. Do you really believe I'll succumb to the dream you've created? Ah Mei, have you finally exposed yourself?"
Ah Mei was speechless but still replied, "I'm not confident in others, but I'm confident in Master Su!"
"Master Su?"
Meng Huangliang looked up at the young boy again.
He couldn't understand what kind of consciousness could make Ah Mei so confident.
Ah Mei smiled and said, "Based on what I know of Master Su, if he says he can do something, he will definitely do it!"
She turned to Meng Huangliang and said for the first time, "So, Master Su said that within six months, he would research and strengthen the Dream Entry technique, and he will definitely succeed!"
Meng Huangliang's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously under Ah Mei's gaze, and he coldly laughed, "Impossible!
Besides me, no one can know the secrets of Dream Entry!"
"Wait and see!"
The last sentence was not spoken by Ah Mei but by Su Ping, who was standing on the platform.
And Su Ping's words were not directed at Meng Huangliang but served as the final words of the Soul of All Spirits' dialogue.
However, at this moment, they perfectly fit together.
Meng Huangliang also turned his gaze towards Su Ping above.
So, wait and see!
