Su Ping attempted to recruit the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit, Tai Shan, into his Heart of Myriad Spirits, but the beast initially resisted, viewing it as enslavement. After being swiftly defeated by Su Ping's pet beast, Xiao Qing, Tai Shan acknowledged Su Ping's strength and offered its submission. Su Ping, feigning skepticism to gauge its sincerity, threatened to kill it, prompting Tai Shan to pledge its loyalty and offer assistance in finding more opponents.

[Skills: Hardened Skin (Perfection), Mountain-Shaking Power (Proficient), Earthquake Technique (Mastery), Rock Body (Perfection), Sandstorm (Perfection), Earth Tremors (Beginner), Petrification Ray (Beginner).]

A grand total of seven skills were displayed!

While this might be considered average, Su Ping's lips still formed a thoughtful frown.

Three skills had already achieved the pinnacle of perfection.

This wild pet beast, barely seven years old, how could this colossal creature have achieved so much?

Still, the pressing questions could wait; Su Ping recognized he had stumbled upon an extraordinary find within the Provincial Exam Secret Realm.

Of course, such a discovery demanded sufficient backing in terms of strength!

Despite its impressive array of skills and abilities, it was apparent this Giant Rock Mountain Spirit possessed minimal actual combat experience.

Furthermore, Xiao Qing's own formidable capabilities were somewhat overwhelming for it.

If Su Ping hadn't continuously signaled Xiao Qing through their Soul Contract to refrain from delivering a finishing blow, the Green Demon Body's terrifying toxicity, coupled with Xiao Qing's Spring of the Demon, would have already obliterated and poisoned this Giant Rock Mountain Spirit into oblivion.

Yet, even though Su Ping sensed hidden depths to this creature, the current situation did not permit deep inquiry.

The provincial exam was the paramount objective at this juncture.

With this thought solidified, Su Ping gave a nod.

"Given your apparent sincerity, I shall tentatively accept your offer! Xiao Qing, nullify the poison!"

Immediately, green vines coiled back around the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit. The creature, identified as Tai Shan, trembled inwardly, but then felt the essence of its debilitating weakness being steadily extracted as the vines enveloped it.

As these green vines transformed into serpentine, purple tendrils, the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit finally exhaled a breath of relief.

"Esteemed Human Beastmaster! Your power and compassion are truly astounding."

Su Ping observed the creature with evident interest. He then approached it directly, leaped lightly, and settled himself upon its broad shoulder.

"Very well, let us proceed onward!"

Registering Su Ping's weight upon its shoulder, the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit seemed to swallow audibly. Nevertheless, it ultimately inclined its massive head and continued its lumbering steps forward.

Witnessing the Giant Rock Mountain Spirit exhibit no signs of malice, Su Ping felt a sense of satisfaction and nodded.

In truth, even if it had suddenly turned hostile, he harbored no fear; his Elementalization Talent and Time Potion were always at the ready. Should his actions be scrutinized in the live broadcast, Su Ping could readily employ the Illusionary Heart Potion as a plausible explanation.

However, if the creature lacked genuine sincerity in its submission, Su Ping would never permit a truly malevolent Monarch Level Pet Beast to enter the Heart of Myriad Spirits, regardless of any concealed secrets it might possess.

Judging by the current turn of events, the outcome appeared quite favorable. This Giant Rock Mountain Spirit demonstrated remarkable wisdom and adaptability.

Perhaps, as it had claimed, its sole desire was to discover a tranquil place for rest?

Su Ping ceased his contemplation, comfortably seated upon his newly acquired, oversized mount. He then initiated a more efficient sweep of Dream Island's central regions.

Unbeknownst to Su Ping, the recent events had once again sent ripples of astonishment through the watching audience.

During the provincial exam, he had actually subdued a Monarch-level Vicious Beast to serve as his accomplice?

At this very moment, Cheng Cheng, having already been eliminated, was receiving treatment from the dedicated medical team for his three severely injured pet beasts. He was simultaneously observing Su Ping's live, first-person perspective feed.

Having witnessed the entirety of the unfolding scene,

Cheng Cheng felt an overwhelming urge to immediately report Su Ping to the chief judge, Vice President Xu, of the judging panel.

He intended to accuse Su Ping of cheating!
