Chapter 657: Meng Yan's Secret! Jixie Jian Shen!
Chapter 657: Meng Yan's Secret! Jixie Jian Shen!
A terrifying mental fluctuation, uninhibited, spread throughout the Wanling Heart in an instant, causing the majority of the creatures within to tremble unconsciously.
The Holy Spirit Level, without a doubt, represented the absolute upper echelon of the Beastmaster society's civilization. They were the undisputed top-tier powerhouses.
At this stage, Beastmasters themselves also possessed considerable combat strength and no longer relied solely on their Beast Companions. Such mental intimidation was especially evident on Meng Huangliang at this moment.
This was quite normal.
Meng Huangliang, with his own Mental-type Beast Companion as a foundation, had conducted extensive research on mental power. After years of suppression, the sudden release upon breaking the seal, combined with the vibrations of promotion, naturally led to this outcome.
In an instant, two figures arrived. One was Meng Yao, who had just disembarked and immediately sensed the unfamiliar Holy Spirit-level fluctuations. The other was Zhu Hong.
The two figures looked at Su Ping; one was a genuine Holy Spirit-level Beastmaster, and his gaze naturally fell upon Meng Huangliang. The other, Zhu Hong, looked at Su Ping and patted his chest, saying, "Damn, you scared the hell out of me!"
Su Ping gave him a strange look. "Scared of what? Do you really think a Holy Spirit-level Beastmaster can do anything to me now?"
Zhu Hong shook his head. As a high-ranking official in Dragon Nation, he was naturally aware of the affairs in Cherry Land.
Su Ping had heard about his slaying of a Holy Spirit-level Beastmaster in the skies above Yingdu, but it was clear that this was not what Zhu Hong was concerned about.
"Damn, I almost thought you were about to break through to the Holy Spirit level. You scared the life out of me!"
Su Ping was speechless. What was going on in Zhu Hong's mind?
"Do you think I'm riding a rocket?"
Zhu Hong nodded. "What else could it be?"
Su Ping pursed his lips. It seemed that it was indeed the case for others.
However, Meng Yao had no time for their banter. He fixed his gaze on the closed-eyed Meng Huangliang, and with disbelief, he asked, "Is he about to advance to the Holy Spirit level?"
Finally, Zhu Hong focused on the matter at hand. They had both been in Wanling Heart for a while, so it was impossible for them not to know each other.
How could they not recognize Meng Huangliang?
Su Ping nodded.
"How is that possible?" they both exclaimed in unison, incredulous.
A smug smile appeared on Su Ping's lips. What was so difficult about this? It was merely a special mental power ailment that even the Holy Dragon and Feicui Mengxiang had failed to resolve.
What challenge could there be for him to personally handle?
However, before he could even put on a show, the two exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously.
"That's acceptable."
Su Ping's eyelids twitched. What did they mean by acceptable? How could they accept this?
This was an issue that even the Holy Dragon and Feicui Mengxiang had failed to resolve, yet he had solved it. Shouldn't they be expressing shock and awe?
Su Ping was indignant.
Zhu Hong, who was already familiar with Su Ping, couldn't help but ask, "Su Ping, how did you do this? Have you completed your research on Dream Surfing?"
Su Ping glanced at him. "Didn't Old Liu tell you?"
Logically, Liu Fuhai should have informed Zhu Hong about Su Ping's groundbreaking research on Dream Surfing. But it seemed that Liu Fuhai had indeed nodded in confirmation.
"Old Liu has been working with me on Hai Na Bai Chuan during this time!"
Su Ping nodded. The allure of a super-tier skill could indeed make Liu Fuhai forget about this matter, and Su Ping had also requested that this information be kept confidential.
Old Liu's mouth was quite tight!
Su Ping nodded.
"The preliminary research on Dream Surfing has been completely successful. However, this skill is not a super-tier skill, nor is it even a super-tier skill. It's merely a mutated application of a Mental-type skill.
"Elder Meng must have his own insights, meditation techniques, talents, and the coordination of other skills to bring out the full effect of Dream Surfing! However, I have lost interest in further exploration in this area and plan to adjust the direction of my breeding research. I will adopt a new approach and apply this skill to combat.
"I will fully realize the Dream Surfing skill recorded in the super-tier skill hall! And... make it even more powerful than what is documented!"
Su Ping's eyes blazed with intense fervor.
The two people present were already accustomed to the unusual.
They didn't even pay attention to Su Ping, who was clenching his fists with a serious and expectant expression. Instead, they turned to Meng Huangliang, who was slowly waking up from his mental breakthrough.
Su Ping, not receiving any feedback or response, followed their gaze to Meng Huangliang.
It must be said that mental power, though an invisible force of the mind, held unimaginable value and effects for beastmasters.
Previously, Meng Huangliang's temples had already turned white, and he was indeed over fifty years old.
He had spent over twenty years undercover in Eagle Nation, less than two decades, and after returning to Dragon Nation, he had spent a full ten years in this mental rehabilitation facility.
One could say that most of his life had been filled with pain and hardship.
This was why Su Ping was determined to heal him.
And at this moment, with his mental power completely unsealed and even advancing to the Holy Spirit Level under such impact, he seemed to have aged over ten years younger.
He looked even younger than Su Anyong.
Meng Huangliang looked around with a dazed expression, seeing two familiar faces and one young face with a faint smile. His expression became extremely complex.
At this moment, he no longer had the previous cynicism and disdain for the world. All that remained was a sense of vicissitudes and emotion.
Finally, a long sigh broke the silence:
"It was all a dream."
Indeed, his life was closely tied to dreams.
Not only his undercover years in Eagle Nation but also the past decade back in Dragon Nation.
Wasn't it all like a dream?
A great dream, enough to describe his experiences.
And now, even more importantly, the dream had ended.
His dream had finally come to a complete end.
So, as Meng Yao and Zhu Hong watched, Su Ping extended his hand and smiled, saying:
"Welcome back, respected legendary agent Meng Huangliang!"
Meng Huangliang smiled slightly, extending his hand. His face, compared to the previous years without sunlight, now had a special charm enhanced by mental power.
Responding to Su Ping, he said:
"My name is Meng Yan. Thank you, Su Ping, for your help! The mark I left behind should have been easily removed upon returning to Dragon Nation,
But at the time, that cunning eagle left a new mark, making it impossible to undo my self-suggestion. Su Ping, if not for you, I might never have woken up."
Meng Huangliang, or Meng Yan, expressed his sincere gratitude.
He extended his hand, and within the villa, beams of summoning light appeared, revealing his beast companions. The first among them was a butterfly the size of a human head.
Dream Butterfly...
Su Ping looked at the butterfly and narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't pry. He still held great respect for Meng Yan.
"Old buddy, you've been through a lot."
Meng Yan rubbed the heads of his beast companions, whose cultivation realms were even lower than his own.
However, he knew they had plenty of time to catch up. Su Ping glanced at the two of them, and they took a step back. Su Ping then said:
"Senior Meng, please take a moment to rest and recover. We won't disturb you any further!"
But just as he was about to turn and leave, Meng Yan suddenly spoke:
"Wait! Su Ping, my rest and the recovery of my beast companions can wait. But now, I have something very important to tell you, and I need to speak to you alone."
Meng Yao's eyebrows furrowed. He still didn't fully trust Meng Yan.
Who knew if that cunning eagle had left some means of control over him?
After all, for someone to be named Cunning Eagle, one could imagine the kind of person he was.
However, Su Ping waved his hand and said, "Okay!"
Aside from the fact that White was still in his arms, Su Ping's mental power and soul foundation, though not at the Holy Spirit Level, were indeed formidable after the Wanling Catalogue refined the rule origin of the Ming Shen. He wasn't afraid of ordinary methods.
Moreover, Su Ping could guess that Meng Yao must have discovered some secret in Eagle Nation and needed to report it immediately, even if that secret might no longer hold any value.
However, just as the two were about to turn and leave, a set of quick footsteps suddenly approached, and Liu Fuhai, his bald head glistening in the sunlight, rushed over.
Su Ping's eyelids twitched.
At this moment, upon witnessing the scene before him, Liu Fuhai, like Zhu Hong, patted his chest and hastily said, "You startled me, old man! I thought you had already broken through to the Holy Spirit level!"
Black lines appeared on Su Ping's forehead, and he waved his hand dismissively at these elders.
Finally, in the room of the villa, only Su Ping and Meng Yan remained.
Su Ping didn't rush to ask any questions. Instead, he went to the tea table, poured a cup of tea that exuded a refreshing aroma, and handed it to Meng Yan. After pouring another cup for himself, he spoke, "Is there something you want to tell me, Senior?"
Meng Yan didn't rush to speak. Instead, his expression became somewhat strange and complex as he said, "Su Ping, you... When I was hinted at and misled, the messages I heard, were they real?"
Su Ping chuckled, "You'll have to be more specific about what messages you're referring to, and I'll answer them one by one."
It was clear that Meng Yan was suspicious of his own status and whether he was qualified to hear Su Ping's secrets.
Meng Yan blinked and then decided to ask one by one, "Were you the 98th Hall-level super-tier skill breeder in the Breeder Hall last summer?"
"Yes, I was. I possess the Five Elements Body, but I'm embarrassed to say that the skill wasn't entirely my cultivation. It was a combination of many coincidences, the efforts of seniors, and even the help of Master Zhu. It was only by luck that I was able to cultivate it."
Su Ping humbly replied.
Meng Yan continued, "You were the top-ranked youth in the assessment, and this year, you're only twenty years old, a young Beastmaster?"
"Yes! To be precise, I just celebrated my 20th birthday a few days ago, so you're correct."
"And then, you became the Vice Chairman of the Dragon Nation Beastmaster Association?"
Su Ping blinked. Wasn't this question a bit too far-fetched? How could he convince Meng Yan with such a question?
After some thought, Su Ping said, "There should be many things you don't know about in between. For example, in the Heavenly Tomb, I confronted a Mythical-level Monster, the partial consciousness of Ming Shen.
Or the fact that I have a certain connection with another Mythical-level existence, the Spring God. And before the New Year, I barely managed to create an entirely new type of Beast Companion.
Also, in reality, I currently have two or three Hall-level super-tier skills in my possession.
However, what you said is correct. I am indeed the Vice Chairman of the Dragon Nation Beastmaster Association. So, you don't need to have any reservations about me. If there are any secrets, feel free to speak openly.
Of course, if you still don't trust me, I can inform the Divine Dragon right now. Once he arrives in person, you can speak to him directly as well!"
Su Ping's words caused Meng Yan to blink.
In fact, Su Ping's words weren't entirely unknown to Meng Yan. For instance, he was aware of the matter regarding the creation of the latest type of Beast Companion.
However, even though he already knew about it, now that it was the real world, he still couldn't accept it.
It was simply too far-fetched.
But the smile on the young man before him, that faint smile, was enough proof. The youth in front of him was beyond comparison, capable of helping him break free from the influence of the cunning eagle's mark and his own self-suggestion.
So, Meng Yan exhaled, "Of course I believe you, Su Ping. If it weren't for you, I'd still be trapped in that hazy dream, tormented by my own thoughts.
Your previous idea was fascinating and insightful. If possible, even though I've ascended to the Holy Spirit level, I don't want to continue living outside.
Su Ping, from now on, I'll stay here at the Wanling Heart with you. Staying here is far better than anywhere else!"
Su Ping chuckled, "Of course, no problem! However, as a newly ascended Holy Spirit, you're still entitled to some benefits. In Dragon City, you can choose a Dragon Companion as your Holy Spirit level reward and a token of appreciation for your years of service to the Dragon Nation!"
Meng Yan didn't seem to care about these rewards. After a pause, he finally spoke, "Enough of this. Let's get to the main topic! Su Ping, the reason I revealed myself was because I discovered a secret related to the research of mechanical principles in the Eagle Nation!"
"What secret?"
Su Ping's expression remained unchanged.
However, what Meng Yan said next caused his eyes to narrow.
"Mechanical God!"
