Qin Xiaoxue withdraws from the exam after ranking third, believing Su Ping might have performed poorly. She encounters Ye Zhou, who hints at future rivalries. Concerned, Qin Xiaoxue checks Su Ping's live broadcast, only to find it ended prematurely. Misinterpreting this as elimination, she sends him a message of encouragement. Her roommates arrive, celebrating their own success, and reveal Su Ping actually achieved first place, leaving Qin Xiaoxue flustered and embarrassed by her premature message.

"It’s me."

Upon hearing the voice on the line, Su Ping’s brow furrowed slightly.

He had changed his phone number, making it quite challenging for unknown callers to get through. Furthermore, the voice belonged to someone unfamiliar.

"Esteemed Breeder Su Ping, greetings. I am Long’er, a member of the Dragon Group under the Special Beast Taming Forces, and I hold the rank of Emperor Sixth Rank Beastmaster. I have received directives from the highest echelons of the Dragon Nation to personally ensure your safety. Additionally, I will be the driver of your exclusive vehicle. You are welcome to issue any instructions directly to me. Could you kindly inform me of your current location in Linzhou? I shall arrive in Linzhou early tomorrow morning to commence my duties."

The deep timbre contained an inexplicable, unique magnetism, which, however, filled Su Ping with a sense of satisfaction.

"Is that so? Yes, I am indeed still in Linzhou. You may land directly on the rooftop of the headquarters at the Beastmaster Building in Linzhou tomorrow morning. I will be conducting a press conference there!"

"Understood. I shall not impose any further. Goodbye."

The call concluded, leaving Su Ping with a trace of disappointment.

This individual certainly acts with great decisiveness, doesn’t he?

Did they hang up rather precipitously?

He had intended to inquire about the specifications of the vehicle he would be provided.

Would it possess the remarkable speed of Leng Ye’s Sky-splitter, or perhaps the luxurious comfort of Sang Sheng’s Cloud Soarer?

What class of vehicle fighter would it be?

Yet, this person didn’t even deign to mention it before unilaterally ending the call!

But… the Dragon Group?

Su Ping’s current standing was considered quite significant within the Dragon Nation, granting him a degree of insight into the nation’s upper echelons. Particularly after his interactions with the Heavenly Tomb Special Forces, his interest had been piqued regarding certain Special Beast Taming Forces within the broader Beast Taming Corps.

However, even to Su Ping, a great many of these Special Beast Taming Forces remained largely shrouded in mystery.

Previously, Leng Ye had informed him that the Dragon Group was the most enigmatic and highly esteemed special force within the entire Dragon Nation, a unit steeped in legendary exploits.

The Dragon Group, indeed.

It was evident that even among the Special Beast Taming Forces, a distinct hierarchy existed.

Observe this member of the Dragon Group, Long’er, an Emperor Sixth Rank Beastmaster!

Su Ping felt a surge of honor. Even his own family elders could not command such a subordinate!

Moreover, the most crucial detail, as mentioned by Leng Ye, was that the Dragon Group represented the apex special force in the Dragon Nation, imposing stringent requirements on their pet beasts, including the mandatory presence of a dragon among their companions!

Now, a Beastmaster from the Dragon Group’s Special Forces, an Emperor Sixth Rank Dragon Tamer no less, was to serve as his personal protector!?

Such an honor was exceptionally rare across the entirety of the Dragon Nation; one could scarcely imagine many others receiving the same distinction, could they?

Although Su Ping felt he didn’t particularly require such protection, it undeniably signaled the high regard of the nation’s leadership.

Su Ping adjusted his state of mind and promptly turned his attention forward.

At this precise moment, his location was not within the bustling Linzhou City Center.

After a brief exchange with Old Qin yesterday, he had returned to the Heart of Myriad Spirits.

There was little need to elaborate on the triumphs achieved during the recent provincial examination.

Upon his return to the Heart of Myriad Spirits yesterday, Li Shu and Bai Cang had offered effusive praise, and even Old Liu, typically disinclined towards external matters, had emerged to extend his congratulations to Su Ping.

Following a night of revelry, Su Ping had risen at an early hour.

His current position was situated at another apex of the triangular region delineated by the Heart of Water and the Forest Heart.

Indeed, there had been mentions of a locale characterized by a peculiar magnetic field.

Previously, Guan Qianshan had shared that a survey team had investigated the area, yielding results that indicated the presence of an underground Monarch Level metal resource – a vein of ’Monarchic Magneto-Gold’.

However, this discovery had not yet been definitively verified.

Subsequently, Su Ping had not allocated significant attention to this particular area.

He was, after all, burdened with an abundance of responsibilities demanding his focus. Furthermore, a mere Monarch Level resource vein did not hold exceptional value for him.

The reason for his presence here was the sight of a colossal creature resting in a previously excavated pit, exhibiting an air of intense excitement. This being was none other than the Giant Rock Mountain Elf, Tai Shan, who had earned a movable two hundred credit points from the Provincial Exam Secret Realm.

This creature was now remarkably compliant. Having witnessed Qian Yi’s overwhelming prowess within the secret realm, effortlessly dispatching Monarch Level ferocious beasts as if they were mere livestock, this Elemental Pet Beast with Earth Attributes, endowed with intelligence surpassing that of typical ferocious beasts of equivalent rank, now followed Su Ping’s directives with unwavering loyalty.

Upon arriving at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, Su Ping’s initial intention was to situate Tai Shan directly within the yet undeveloped Heart of Earth zone, which had only recently been demarcated. Given its inherent nature, this location seemed exceptionally fitting.

In his pursuit of providing suitable resting places, whenever Su Ping found himself with moments of respite, he contemplated methods to augment the number of illuminated entries within the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas. Indeed, upon his arrival at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, the colossal beast had gravitated towards this very spot.

It seemed to fancy this spot, wanting to make it its sleeping place.

There was no denying that Earth Elemental Pet Beasts possessed a sharp intuition for the land's inherent energies.

Su Ping observed with interest as Tai Shan settled into the expansive pit. Based on his surmises, a mere fifty to one hundred meters beneath this very location lay the very source from which the Monarchic Magneto-Gold mineral vein seed originated.

For resources of Monarch Level to emerge, the land's energy must undoubtedly be exceedingly dense.

Truly, it was an ideal location for such a colossal creature to reside.

"Tai Shan, where exactly did you hail from before this? How did the Beastmaster Association come to apprehend you, and who bestowed upon you the name Tai Shan?"
