Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 866 - 371: Nationwide Attention! Death Descend!

"Not bad, huh?"

At the Jianghai Beastmaster Association’s office, located within the towering structure, Su Ping reclined with his legs crossed. Despite occupying the top floor, the actual elevation wasn’t imposing. From his vantage point, he observed the bustling crowds in the association’s courtyard below.

Qin Erlong, though not particularly impressed by the young man’s confident demeanor, conceded with a nod: "It’s more than just good! Jianghai hasn’t even fully launched its promotional efforts, and it’s already capturing nationwide attention. The impact couldn’t be better!"

Qin Erlong recognized the significant stir Su Ping had created. Taking on a thousand opponents simultaneously! On Blue Star, while it was true that elite beastmasters often found numerical superiority insignificant against lower-level foes, few, if any, at a comparable level had demonstrated such formidable combat capability. Of course, throughout Blue Star’s history, countless prodigies had emerged, making an absolute statement difficult. However, such an accomplishment was undeniably rare.

Consequently, Su Ping’s remarkable achievement naturally warranted the widespread public interest it garnered. Furthermore, Qin Erlong understood this was merely the prelude.

On the second day of the provincial examinations, most participants remained engrossed in their respective competitions. Their primary focus was still fixed on their own provincial exams. It wasn't until the evening, when the examinations temporarily ceased and public attention shifted, and after the provincial contests concluded entirely, that the comparative performances would truly ignite a sustained and escalating wave of public fascination. The explosiveness of Su Ping’s battle was thus easily anticipated.

Su Ping smacked his lips and then shook his head: "Ah, in truth, I don’t actively seek such a high profile; it’s just unavoidable!"

Qin Erlong cast a sideways glance at him: "Enough of that, you scamp! The day after tomorrow, during the official announcement conference, don’t falter. That’s when you’ll experience true nationwide acclaim!"

Su Ping nodded. Beyond the progression of Paperman, the primary objective of this heightened attention was to prepare for the Great Revolution Five Elements Physique’s ascension to Hall Super Rank skills.

Su Ping then turned his gaze to Qin Erlong: "Old Qin, are there any specific rewards for achieving first place in the Jianghai provincial exam?"

Qin Erlong offered a look of exasperation at the young man: "I never realized you were such a gold-digger! Don’t you already possess the Dream Mist Stone? And heading to the Imperial Capital for the final trial, isn’t that enough?"

"As you mentioned, isn’t that item considered a drop? How can it possibly count as a formal reward?" Su Ping inquired, blinking.

Qin Erlong sighed: "I do have some reserves stashed away, but given your current standing and capabilities, I suspect you wouldn’t find them particularly noteworthy. When you travel to the Imperial Capital, present this data drive, and give those old fogies in Dragon City a piece of your mind! Consider it settling a score for me!"

Those old acquaintances. However, Su Ping remained unconcerned; he was merely engaging in casual conversation. If Old Qin were to actually bestow something upon him, he might feel a touch of awkwardness. Old Qin was correct; with his clearance level, Su Ping could readily access Emperor Level resources. Yet, such resources held limited sway over him. Once recognized as a Breeding Master, he could apply for a substantial number of Emperor Level resources annually. As for the Spirit Saint Level, Su Ping harbored no immediate aspirations in that direction.

Nonetheless, hearing Old Qin shift the conversation in this vein piqued Su Ping’s interest: "Settling a score for me? Do you have adversaries in Dragon City?"

Qin Erlong quickly waved his hand dismissively: "You give me too much credit! What adversaries could I possibly have there? It’s purely related to my Mu Long. As you know, that Mu Long was granted Dragon Emblem privileges after Ah Sang achieved Spirit Saint Level. When it comes to selecting pets at that tier, the choices are significantly more flexible. At that juncture, Ah Sang already had a preferred candidate for his sixth pet, and the right to enter Dragon City to select a dragon companion couldn’t simply be left unused, could it? Thus, Ah Sang bestowed it upon me..."

From this explanation, even without further elaboration from Qin Erlong, Su Ping could readily surmise the nature of the lingering animosity with certain individuals in Dragon City.

Su Ping pursed his lips: "Thirty years east, thirty years west?" He found such dramatic narratives quite appealing.

Qin Erlong nodded, appearing somewhat resigned: "Regrettably, my westward journey is unlikely to materialize within this lifetime. Even if a future opportunity arises to ascend to the Spirit Saint Level, confronting and discrediting those elders in Dragon City would remain a formidable challenge. Furthermore, even with a Spirit Saint Level advancement, due to Ah Sang’s status, I wouldn’t qualify to reclaim the Dragon Emblem and re-enter Dragon City to pursue an inherited lineage. However, Su Ping, your situation is distinct! I can already surmise that within Dragon City, certain factions, including the Dragon King Lords presiding over various Inheritance Lands, may already be initiating covert and overt maneuvers!"

At this point, Qin Erlong’s eyes widened with palpable excitement.

"Those ancestral lands within Dragon City, they are truly overflowing with treasures! It's possible that even Legendary Level resources can be found there! When the opportune moment arrives, ensure you extract every last valuable, taking revenge for me."
