Chapter 652: Imperial 6th Tier! Blue Flaming Island!
Chapter 652: Imperial 6th Tier! Blue Flaming Island!
Boom!
At this moment, even the esteemed Yoshino Yukitsuki and Yoshino Haruki were left in awe, experiencing an indescribable sense of explosion.
Their scalps tingled with a sudden surge.
The scene before them was beyond their imagination.
They had held the utmost respect for Su Ping due to his status as a Hallowed Breeder, his special position in Dragon Country, the two formidable bodyguards by his side, and his future accomplishments.
However, they had never imagined the true extent of Su Ping's strength.
Regardless of how exaggerated and terrifying his talents might be, he was still just a young man in his twenties.
While age might not be a determining factor among Beastmasters, strength was typically associated with age, with older individuals possessing greater power.
This was an inevitable truth.
Advancing realms extended one's lifespan and prolonged the peak condition of their bodies.
Most Beastmasters, with the exception of a few extraordinary geniuses, could only begin their cultivation and advancement after awakening their talents and Beastspace at the age of eighteen.
Su Ping had not awakened prematurely, and at present, he was barely over twenty years old.
At such a young age, it was unreasonable to expect exceptional strength.
However, the scene before them proved them all wrong.
This young man, aside from his breeding abilities, future achievements, and status in Dragon Country, possessed formidable personal strength.
They could clearly see that the three dead beasts bore sword wounds, indicating that they were not killed by the Mermaid Princess or the White Tiger.
Could a single Imperial-Ranked Beast slay three Divine-tier beasts alone?
What was this?
At that moment, they all stared in disbelief at the paper man swordsman, standing tall in the sky, his gray cloak fluttering in the wind, exuding the aura of a true master.
Compared to the dead beasts, they seemed less significant.
But Su Ping had no time to dwell on this.
The souls of these beasts had been gathered and absorbed by Qian Yi's Death Sword Lord's skills.
These corpses were valuable, especially the mechanical principles of the Iron-Winged Angel, which could be studied by Feifei for large-scale mechanical legion cultivation.
The Earth Element Giant and the Earth Dragon were equally precious, the latter being a treasure trove of resources.
The core of the Earth Element Giant could be utilized by Su Ping's 'Taishan' and might even directly facilitate its evolution.
Unlike Qian Yi, Su Ping had no interest in studying these corpses. With a casual wave of his hand, he effortlessly collected the three corpses and the old man's body into his Beastspace.
However, it was only after completing this task that Su Ping realized he had misjudged Qian Yi.
Perhaps it had been too long since they last fought, and he had forgotten Qian Yi's ways.
If Qian Yi wanted to show off, he would have started chanting in the sky.
But now, he merely stood motionless, with the Dragon Slayer Sword and the Supreme Demon Blade by his side.
Then, a blast of sword light erupted, accompanied by a surge of mental fluctuations on Su Ping's body.
Only then did Su Ping truly understand.
Qian Yi wasn't just showing off.
Among the Death Sword Lord's abilities was a soul-reaping skill, allowing him to enhance his realm without any side effects by slaying living beings.
This ability was finally put to use.
Previously, when Qian Yi had bathed in the Sword Pool with Su Ping, he had evolved from the Imperial 3rd Tier to the Imperial 5th Tier.
Now, they were on the same level.
And after slaying the three Divine-tier beasts, Qian Yi's realm had further advanced to the Imperial 6th Tier.
Su Ping, too, benefited from this battle, as the feedback from the beasts allowed both of them to advance together, reaching the Imperial 6th Tier.
Currently, Qian Yi, Su Ping, and Lao Sha were all at the Imperial 6th Tier.
This progress and speed were indeed astonishing.
Su Ping also realized that slaying three Divine-tier beasts would have been slightly embarrassing if it only resulted in a single realm advancement. But the real reason was that, through Qian Yi's soul link, he had witnessed something peculiar.
Among the slain beasts, one was special.
The mechanical Iron-Winged Angel's soul had been absorbed, not refined by the soul-reaping skill, but instead, it had become a Sword Wraith within the Mortuary Blade Domain.
And the Earth Dragon, slain by the Dragon Slayer Sword, held a peculiarity. After the sword cut down the Earth Dragon, its dragon soul was also absorbed by the Dragon Slayer Sword.
So, in reality, Qian Yi's advancement to this realm was primarily due to the demise of that Earth Giant.
He had only absorbed the power and soul essence of this Earth Giant.
Upon understanding this, Su Ping finally nodded in satisfaction.
Qian Yi didn't have the opportunity to showcase his abilities in front of this large audience. After all, Su Ping still wished to maintain an air of cold brilliance and the aloofness of a genius when presenting himself to outsiders.
If this guy were to speak up, the refined image he had painstakingly cultivated would likely be shattered by this creature.
Hence, he directly absorbed Qian Yi into his Beast Space, turned around, and looked at everyone present. Only then did he speak in a faint tone:
"Please excuse my embarrassment!"
However, none of the people present could bring themselves to laugh.
It was the Python King from Snake Country, who could be considered a somewhat reluctant ally of Dragon Country, that made a hissing sound:
"Hiss... With Su Ping in Dragon Country, the country's future glory can be restored! May the friendship between Dragon Country and Snake Country last forever!"
Su Ping smiled, "That's natural. Dragon Country has never refused those who wish to be its friends!"
Upon hearing these words, Yoshino Yukitsuki's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, but he lacked the courage to say more.
As for the outcome of this exchange, it goes without saying.
The Golden Heart's Division Founding was completely ruined. Many people from various factions who had come to witness this spectacle would spread the word throughout Blue Star within the next few days.
Su Ping didn't rush to leave; or rather, he couldn't rush to leave. This was his first time appearing in a foreign country in his own capacity, and in such a setting, it was natural for these people to want to establish connections with him.
Gu Tuo from Elephant Country, Python King from Snake Country, and even that old ghost Yoshino Haruki shamelessly approached him.
Su Ping didn't say much, but he received them all with proper etiquette.
After meeting with some of the people present, they all left.
Especially Gu Tuo from Elephant Country.
He seemed to be a breeder as well, for before exchanging contact information and preparing to leave Cherry Land, he had told Su Ping that he would see him again in Lion Country in a few months.
Obviously, he was also planning to attend the Lifetime Achievement Award for Breeders.
Compared to the others, one person in the room seemed slightly nervous.
It was none other than Hato, the Governor of the Eastern Archipelago in the Ten Thousand Islands Country.
"I never imagined that I would have met you, Su President, so early! What a blessing!"
Hato's face was filled with bitterness.
He was obviously recalling the previous auction.
And the legendary-tier being beside him, who had left a deep impression.
However, what he didn't expect was that Su Ping would blink:
"Met? When did Governor Hato meet me?"
Hato was stunned for a moment and quickly responded:
"My apologies, I mistook you for someone else, President Su! Please don't blame me!"
Su Ping, of course, wouldn't blame him, as he had a request for this person.
"I heard that Governor Hato's headquarters is on the Blue Flaming Island in the Eastern Archipelago of the Ten Thousand Islands Country, right?"
Hato quickly nodded:
"That's correct."
Su Ping revealed a smile:
"I heard that the Blue Flaming Island is a famous 'Flame Mountain' Archipelago in the Eastern Archipelago of the Ten Thousand Islands Country, known for its numerous flame-type pet beasts. Even in a water-based island country like the Ten Thousand Islands Country, most of their fire-attribute pet beasts originate from the Blue Flaming Island, right?"
Hato continued to nod:
"Well, that's a bit exaggerated. Although such pet beasts are indeed rare in the Ten Thousand Islands Country, there are also import channels. For example, the Desert Nation, a fierce beast empire west of Dragon Country, and the like."
Su Ping had also heard of this. Although the Desert Nation is adjacent to Dragon Country, in reality, it is thousands of miles away from the Western Desert Province, serving as a buffer of uninhabited desert areas. Therefore, they don't have much contact with Dragon Country.
However, as a high-yielding region for wind-type, fire-type, and sand-type pet beasts, the production is indeed considerable.
But what Su Ping wanted to hear wasn't this.
He smiled and looked at Hato, as if he hadn't heard his previous words, and said:
"Coincidentally, you invited Miss Dong to the Blue Flaming Island earlier. Miss Dong is busy with various matters, and the situation in Pingyun is quite hectic, so let's forget about it. How about I accompany Governor Hato for a visit?"
Hato stood up and, just like at the auction, he immediately knelt down with a loud thud:
"President Su, I really didn't mean it back then. I truly didn't know it was you. Please spare me this time!"
A Holy Spirit-tier Beast Master knelt before him, and Su Ping quickly helped him up:
"What are you talking about?
Let me be frank with you. I need to find ten Imperial-tier Fire Attribute Pet Beasts for a breeding project, and it has nothing to do with you. I'm just asking if Blue Flaming Island has such a place and these types of beasts."
Hato hesitated and pondered, and Su Ping chuckled, "Of course, the situation in Ten Thousand Islands is indeed unique. I've heard that the Ten Thousand Islands have long had their eyes on the Golden Heart, and it seems they've already joined in quite a bit, right?"
Cold sweat trickled down Hato's forehead.
"Yes! Rest assured, President Su. My Blue Flaming Island may not have much, but it has the most Fire Attribute Pet Beasts! Moreover, I have a specialized guard team dedicated to clearing them from the volcanic islands around the Blue Flaming Archipelago."
"If you're willing to lend a hand, that would be truly wonderful!"
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, "Since it's like that, let's not delay. Let's go today!"
"Today?!" Hato was taken aback.
Su Ping nodded, "Of course. Do you think there's any reason to stay in Cherry Land any longer?"
Hato quickly responded, "No, no, President Su. Will you be taking my private jet?"
"Sure!"
The abrupt end of this auction caught everyone off guard.
Dong Muyun undoubtedly became the most notable figure in this event.
This incident would be hard to keep under wraps.
However, no one seemed to mind, just as Su Ping had demonstrated. He wasn't even in a rush to return.
He knew that the Dragon Country was likely undergoing a special purge at that moment!
After Su Ping's thunderous actions, the core members of the Golden Union, such as Shenqiu's Moutain and River Group and the Fire King Group led by Yandong, couldn't escape the consequences.
At this moment, he didn't need to rush back.
He could simply find a time later to inspect the results.
So, when Dong Muyun also boarded the Golden Union's plane to return, accompanied by the Mad Saints from the Dragon Country who were responsible for guarding the prisoners, Su Ping had already taken a step ahead and arrived at Blue Flaming Island with Hato.
Blue Flaming Island, located in the eastern part of the Ten Thousand Islands, occupies a significant position in the southeastern region of the Dragon Country's continent.
As the core of the east, Blue Flaming Island is not small in size. Apart from the main island, which is as large as an ordinary province in the Dragon Country, there are hundreds of large and small archipelagos surrounding it, densely packed like stars in the sky.
This unique arrangement forms the Blue Flaming Island, resembling a volcanic landscape.
After disembarking from the plane and standing on the land of Blue Flaming Island, Su Ping ignored Hato's attentive arrangements and diversions, instead getting straight to the point.
He did have some spare time, but after his thoughts about the Kongxiang Stone, he had new ideas and progress regarding dream research. The primary purpose of this visit was to help Little Fire complete the second small segment of the second major segment of Nanming Lihuo's breeding.
To ignite and enhance Little Fire's Fireseed Skill to the Proficient level.
This was Zhu Que's skill, and Su Ping had spent a considerable amount of money to acquire it, so he had to be careful with it.
Hato seemed surprised that Su Ping wasn't joking, but fortunately, Blue Flaming Island did have what they needed.
It wasn't just Hato's empty talk.
After a brief pause, the two of them hurried towards one of the islands in the Blue Flaming Archipelago.
This place was on the eastern fringe of the Blue Flaming Archipelago.
However, as they drew closer, Su Ping noticed that it was a rather unique small island.
Although it was called a small island, it appeared more like a special prison surrounded by a barrier.
Or a giant steamer trapped within.
Hato explained from above, "President Su, this is a special place on Blue Flaming Island. Below the island's geothermal pulse lies a massive active volcano, which has formed countless volcanic eruption points.
Later, the governors of Blue Flaming Island found a way to redirect the energy, ensuring that the volcanic eruptions still occur, but the energy is mainly released through specific outlets.
Therefore, it erupts at regular intervals, spewing out magma and a large number of Fire Attribute Pet Beasts, including Imperial-tier ones. It's the most dangerous place on Blue Flaming Island!
So, President Su, if you're looking for Fire Attribute Pet Beasts, this is the best place!"
Su Ping's eyes lit up as he looked down, "Not bad."
