Su Ping inquires about legendary resources and the internal workings of Dragon City's Lands of Inheritance, learning about the competition surrounding dragon breeding and evolution. Meanwhile, across the ocean, powerful figures observe Su Ping's battle, recognizing the potential emergence of a legendary skill and expressing surprise at his prowess.

Charles spoke with a hint of self-deprecation.

Mu Yu, however, countered with firm conviction:

"Teacher, how can those be comparable? The Undead Death Domain's capabilities are suited for vast battlefields and possess evident high developmental potential. With sufficient Qi, it can forge an endless legion of undead pet beasts during a single war.

No matter how potent the Paperman's skills are, how could they possibly measure up to yours? Furthermore, it remains uncertain whether it's truly the skill's effect or a unique evolutionary ability of this mutated pet beast!"

Charles shook his head, electing not to elaborate further.

His crimson flames danced gently, and his eyes narrowed slightly:

"Regardless, this little one is causing quite a stir; its skill's inclusion in the hall of fame is beyond question."

His extensive knowledge allowed him to readily grasp the implications, akin to discerning the direction of ocean winds.

Mu Yu remained silent this time, though his distrust of that rascal was evident, he had to place his faith in his teacher!

Charles continued, "If that is the case, when the time comes, shall I dispatch a grand gift?"

Mu Yu was taken aback: "Teacher, over at Dragon Nation right now, there isn’t a chance..."

Charles abruptly turned his head, his crimson flames flickering with an indistinct waver.

Even Mu Yu felt an indescribable dread seep into his spirit.

His teacher no longer resembled a human but appeared as a pure undead entity!

"How did you discover my initial experiment with 'Death's Arrival'?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu shivered, memories flooding back, causing him to involuntarily tremble.

Charles, seemingly unaffected, went on: "People consistently believe that my development of super-rank skills, with the Undead Death Domain being the pinnacle, is quite accurate.

However, in terms of practical functionality, the modified 'Death's Arrival' indeed proved quite effective.

Originally, the skill stemmed from the specialized pet beast, the 'Blood Demon'! Ah, the Vampire Viscount possesses a unique conversion evolution at the count stage.

What effect does the 'Blood Demon's Death Arrival' have?

The Blood Demon can implant blood seeds into any flesh-based beings, including humans; once this human perishes, or the blood seed is activated,

it will instantly refine all the blood within their body, and the consciousness left by the Blood Demon within the blood seed will assume control and exert influence!

This transforms them into a puppet of the Blood Demon or a low-level blood avatar-type skill.

Ah, this skill drew its inspiration from ancient legends within Dragon Nation; the initial concept was to christen it the 'Blood God Avatar'."

When the topic shifted to pet beast research, this normally reserved teacher would become remarkably talkative.

Yet Mu Yu dared not interject, and Charles continued:

"Back then, I conceived it this way: as the effect was merely that, though the resulting blood puppets were rather crude.

Bestowing the name 'Blood God Avatar,' while somewhat forced, did carry a certain weight, especially since the skill placed no real restrictions on the number of blood puppets created.

However, I later realized that employing the skill for these fodder puppets was a waste, so I implemented a slight modification. I merged the consciousness soul seed with the blood seed, creating a blood soul seed.

This not only allows for free activation but also enables the skill caster's consciousness to merge into the detonated body!

Furthermore, based on the potency of the initial blood soul seed released, a portion of its inherent abilities can manifest after detonation.

Moreover, if a Blood Demon wields it, the complete consolidation of the blood soul seed facilitates an effect akin to long-distance teleportation, resembling rebirth!

Thus, the skill was ultimately christened 'Death's Arrival'! Later, during the 'Heavenly Tomb' harvest, my lich form aided me in mastering this very skill I had created."

With that, Charles offered Mu Yu a smile:

"Mu Yu, previously I tasked you with conveying a greeting gift to the child across the ocean on my behalf, correct?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu's unseen face turned ashen.

Then, recalling his original body, felled by the advanced undead breeder Cold Ye’s Blue Flame Heart Demon:

"Indeed, Teacher!"

Charles’s crimson soul fire betrayed a trace of amusement.

He had previously stated that he selected students based on temperament, not solely on talent.

The student residing across the ocean possessed a temperament quite similar to his own.

Or perhaps, akin to 'it'."
