Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 847 - 364: Su Ping’s Strength! Seizing Dream Island Alone? (Part 3)

The young man's words, it had to be admitted, were genuinely spoken from the heart.

Nevertheless, it was quite apparent that he had a misunderstanding regarding Su Ping, or rather, Su Ping had absolutely no intention of causing any trouble for the referee team in this particular aspect.

"Thank you, but I'll have to decline!"

Su Ping's eyebrows lifted slightly, and without even bothering to cast a backward glance at them, he directed his full attention toward the heart of Dream Island.

His gaze seemed to possess the ability to penetrate the dense layer of mist, peering deep into the mysterious Dream Island.

This Dream Island, aside from the encircling river, also presented a rather peculiar topography.

It was a valley, completely enclosed on all sides.

The sole point of entry was the very same river from which the Blackwater Mysterious Snake had previously emerged.

This fact established it as the singular route for entering Dream Island.

Naturally, one could also opt to utilize a Flying Pet Beast for entry into the inner valley of Dream Island, but this particular approach imposed incredibly demanding conditions.

This was due to the occasional sight of indistinct shapes soaring through the sky in the vicinity where the low-hanging clouds and mist converged.

It was evident that flocks of formidable flying beasts also patrolled the skies.

Humans, after all, are not naturally endowed with the ability to fly; once airborne, their reliance on pet beasts escalates considerably.

Unless there was absolutely no alternative, no sane individual would willingly court such a perilous risk.

Therefore...

Su Ping's gaze settled upon the river leading to the valley entrance, the undisputed sole access point to Dream Island, and a smile subtly played on his lips.

Given that he had already displayed such blatant arrogance prior to the competition, he might as well maintain that same audacious stance!

With this thought solidified, Su Ping motioned towards Qian Yi, who stood upon the water's surface, then gently patted Xiao Qing's head. The beast immediately comprehended his intent and leaped across the river.

The young man observed Su Ping's unyielding posture, feeling a sense of profound helplessness.

Prior to entering the Provincial Exam Secret Realm, he had harbored the conviction that his own formidable strength would render alliances unnecessary; ascending into the top ten should have been a trivial matter, shouldn't it?

However, upon breaching the confines of the secret realm, the harsh hand of reality had delivered a resounding slap.

The Su Ping standing before him was, without doubt, a worthy adversary.

Yet, since the other party had so definitively refused, there was nothing further he could do; he, Li Han, would not stoop to shamelessly imposing himself.

Currently, within the Provincial Exam Secret Realm, skilled cultivators were as common as blades of grass, and among the contracted beasts, there existed those possessing skills of the super-rank!

Considering this, a sharp, bright light flickered within Li Han's eyes as he gazed at Su Ping's retreating figure; after all, this provincial examination had only just commenced.

A full three days remained!

With Dream Island established as the focal point of contention for every participant, it was inevitable that an increasing number of powerful competitors would converge here as time progressed. At that juncture, he would eagerly observe how long Su Ping could sustain his defiant arrogance?!

As this thought took root, the young man named Li Han drew a deep, steadying breath. Regardless of the outcome, the opponent had already vanquished the formidable Blackwater Mysterious Snake. Dream Island harbored Emperor Level resources, specifically the Dream Mist Stone.

No matter the circumstances, he had to venture inside and investigate, perhaps even have the good fortune to discover the singular Emperor Level resource within this entire Provincial Exam Secret Realm?

Thus, with a decisive wave of his hand, three pet beasts were deployed to secure the perimeter. He then followed in Su Ping's wake, traversing the river and fending off those audacious Commander Level Cold Wave Python ferocious beasts.

Subsequently, he successfully landed on Dream Island, keeping a watchful eye on the figure steadily advancing towards the central valley from a moderate distance, and followed suit.

Meanwhile, it wasn't merely Li Han who had made the crossing; with the formidable Monarch Level Blackwater Mysterious Snake no longer obstructing the path, numerous individuals had already begun to traverse the waters and set foot upon the island.

However, just as the throng of participants was converging towards the valley entrance, Su Ping, positioned at the very front of the group, abruptly turned to confront them.

His faint, enigmatic smile engendered a palpable sense of foreboding among all those who trailed behind him.

As it transpired, their instincts proved to be entirely accurate.

The peculiar figure, resembling a paperman adorned with an enormous conical hat, stood directly before Su Ping, positioned precisely at the nexus of the valley's entrance.

Then, Su Ping finally broke his silence, his voice carrying a clear, authoritative tone:

"Effective immediately, Dream Island is declared off-limits to all! Should any among you wish to enter, the requirement is simple: you must first defeat this pet beast of mine."

These pronouncements immediately triggered another wave of astonishment, echoing both from within and without the island!
