Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 829 - 357: Qian Yi’s Limiters Released! (Part 2)

It's practically set now. Beyond Paperman's cultivation, the crucial part is checking if the advanced skill you've trained can leap right into Hall of Fame level!

Go on and flaunt it freely! The Jianghai preliminaries will provide the ultimate spotlight for Paperman."

Su Ping's eyes narrowed just a bit, a gleam flashing suddenly within them.

Hall of Fame level.

As Master Zhu Hong pointed out, for any breeder, who wouldn't crave their feats listed there?

That's a true honor, revered and acknowledged by breeders across the globe.

Yet...

Su Ping harbored lingering doubts: "Old Qin, isn't this jumping the gun a little?"

"Haha, early? What's early here! Think you're still that obscure newbie from before? The Heart of the Sun in the cultivation contest—though local media clamped down hard, folks tracking national news caught wind ages ago.

Once they spotted it, overseas eyes turned too. And Hall of Fame level? Don't see it as mere personal glory! Each Hall-tier advanced skill embodies a nation's legacy, a strategic powerhouse!

It showcases Dragon Nation's global heft and brawn against other Tamer Kingdoms and Ferocious Beast Empires!"

Qin Erlong brushed it off casually, gesturing dismissively:

"No need to fret over timing. Want low profile? Local media can still dial it back, keeping your fame sharp only in select circles."

Truth be told, with Old Qin's pitch hitting this far, Su Ping had scant grounds to balk, despite inner unease.

"Old Qin, doesn't this smack of overkill? And given the setup, can Zhou Tian Five Elements Body truly hit Hall of Fame tier?"

Su Ping struggled to buy it.

He knew Hall-level advanced skills well, having delved deep before. Global authorities judge entry, plus battle showings and foe impacts as benchmarks.

The national youth career evaluation boasts a grand arena, but against rivals, could Zhou Tian Five Elements Body truly meet Hall standards as a lasting advanced skill? Su Ping wasn't convinced.

"You'll see when it happens—as long as you perform steadily, it ought to work, especially recreating that Hundred Flowers Secret Realm spectacle fully!"

Qin Erlong grinned, then grew earnest: "Bullying? Kid, if that's your angle, Jianghai prelims are safe, but Imperial Capital finals might not yield top spots."

Su Ping arched a brow; last time, he nearly wrecked Hundred Flowers Secret Realm. That power display couldn't snag national career honors?

Qin Erlong caught Su Ping's ire and explained:

"In Hundred Flowers Secret Realm last time, Paperman's might centered on probing that skill's effects and potency!

Prelims won't faze me for your win—that skill's ridiculously overpowered!

Plus, Jianghai prelim format lets you unleash it fully, but heed this: no skill's utterly unbeatable or perfect, got it?"

These words sank in, prompting Su Ping to ponder.

They sparked fresh realizations for him.

Exactly—Su Ping agreed Old Qin nailed it; no skill's flawlessly supreme.

Some might exist, but he hadn't met them yet.

For even Zhou Tian Five Elements Body held minor flaws.

"Jianghai prelims run battle royale style; top ten advance to Imperial Capital finals! Finals shrink to classic one-on-one beast taming duels, honing pure combat prowess of tamed beasts.

Zhou Tian Five Elements Body needs time to hit peak operation. That setup could exploit it."

Qin Erlong smirked, dropping insight that narrowed Su Ping's gaze.

Indeed, as Old Qin noted, Paperman Qian Yi's Five Elements cycle isn't instant to max; Qian Yi must gradually attune and activate it.

Against swift combat pet beasts, it risks huge peril in fights!

Let alone tricky time-space element ones.

This thought quelled the thrill from Old Qin's hype about Qian Yi's free rein.

After a beat, Qin Erlong pressed on:

"But no sweat. For others like Xiao Xue, Ye Zhou, this assessment's prime chance to shine.

You? No need! Cultivation contest already spotlights you; Paperman's debut will steal the career assessment show.

Rankings? For you, just bonus prizes."

Su Ping eyed the carefree elder prattling on—prizes irrelevant? Crystal Dragon for average folk?

"By the way, what's the career assessment's prize lineup?"

Su Ping queried, intrigued.

"Beats me; top brass still hashing it. Sounds like killer rewards brewing—hang tight, won't disappoint."

Qin Erlong shrugged, then leaned in slyly:

"Word is... Ah Sang slipped it, true or not. Rewards include a dragon!"

Qin Erlong halted teasingly, eyeing Su Ping expectantly.

No stunned reaction came; Su Ping shot a weird look: "So?"

Qin Erlong coughed, persisting mysteriously:

"Know its type? Kid, ever heard space-attribute Crystal Dragon?"

Su Ping pressed lips; pair locked eyes three seconds, spotting Qin Erlong's 'exclusive scoop' vibe. Finally, Su Ping feigned awe, exclaiming:

"Whoa! Incredible! They went all out! Man, space-attribute dragon, Crystal Dragon! Gotta push for top rank, snag that Crystal Dragon!"

Qin Erlong eyed Su Ping's overplayed act, rubbing nose sheepishly:

"Chatting with you is dull; dunno who spilled first, but that performance's painful."

Su Ping shrugged; Qin Erlong sighed, resuming:

"Oh, skip Jianghai registration—just show ID seven days out! Skipped approvals, internals for you. Cool, got stuff to handle, heading out."

Eh? Such open backdoor fine?

Su Ping stared at Qin Erlong—this old fox? Basic tests no biggie for him, right?

Still, dodging hassle's nice.

Bidding Qin Erlong farewell with a wave, Su Ping geared up for prelims' final push!
