Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 875 - 374: The Mechanical Dragon Jiao Long! Giant Dragon Catalog Unlocked! (Part 2)

Long'er gently stroked the nose of the Jiao Long, and before Su Ping's eyes, this warship, shaped like a colossal dragon, unfurled its maw.

Within its cavernous opening, beyond a few menacing dark cannons and fangs radiating a palpable aura of dread, lay a completely sealed door of dark gold.

The four of them proceeded inside, the dark gold door swinging open to reveal a cockpit adorned with an overwhelming array of screens and buttons.

As anticipated, the eyes of the colossal dragon, positioned at the very front, served as the cockpit's observation point, precisely where they were now standing.

"It doesn't appear significantly different from other mechanical warships? Hmm, though the cockpit does feel a tad smaller."

Ray Saint surveyed the cabin, his voice a low murmur as the group clustered together in the somewhat confined space.

Long'er paid him no heed.

Instead, he advanced directly and placed a hand upon a crystal ball situated at the cockpit's center.

A surge of energy emanated from it.

It was as if something was rapidly stirring from slumber.

Soon, a sharp dragon's roar echoed once more.

Concurrently, the cockpit seemed to blaze with light, and a voice announced:

"Jiao Long program owner recognition initiated. Upon successful completion of the recognition process, the Jiao Long will fully awaken and activate!

Once program owner recognition is achieved, the biological mimicry function can be deployed, and the mechanical intelligence core consciousness will revive.

Please, Jiao Long owner, proceed to the designated captain's mode position!"

A sequence of mechanical pronouncements left Su Ping somewhat perplexed.

So, the Jiao Long hadn't been fully activated yet?

Following the voice's conclusion, Long'er turned to Su Ping, "Breeder Su, kindly proceed to the central position."

Central position?

Su Ping's gaze flickered towards the cockpit's center, where an archway suddenly materialized.

Feeling a prickle of confusion, Su Ping slowly made his way to the designated spot.

"Ding... Program owner recognition commencing, verifying owner identity..."

"Verification complete, commencing five-second countdown, entering owner's exclusive stance position, 5, 4..."

Su Ping blinked, a sense of mild disorientation washing over him.

Long'er, however, remained unruffled, calmly observing the countdown's conclusion.

As the five seconds elapsed, the voice resumed: "Entering owner's exclusive driving position."

At that precise instant, Su Ping felt his body gently lift upwards.

And the ceiling above, formerly sealed, transformed as if an open skylight had instantaneously appeared.

The very next second, Su Ping stared in disbelief at the unfolding scene below.

He was no longer within the confined cockpit.

Indeed, at this moment, Su Ping was standing atop the very 'dragon's head'.

The position was situated directly above the aircraft's nose,

and flanking him were two immense dark gold metal dragon horns.

A special energy anchored his feet, and even exposed as he was, an energy shield extended from the dragon horns, forming an invisible enclosure around him.

A sense of understanding dawned upon Su Ping, and he decisively reached out, grasping each dragon horn.

Instantly, an electric current coursed through his entire being.

As anticipated, a voice resounded once more.

"Jiao Long program owner recognition complete! Awakening Dragon's soul..."

This process was remarkably swift, lasting no more than five minutes, when a voice emerged from the Jiao Long beneath his feet:

"Master! Thank you for awakening me!"

A clear voice echoed.

"It is nothing."

As Su Ping uttered these words, simultaneously, within the deepest recesses of his soul, the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas unfurled.

What Su Ping had least expected was the appearance of not one, but two Atlases this time.

One was familiar, the other entirely unknown.

The familiar one was none other than the Gold Elemental Elf, previously illuminated by Feifei.

The other, however, was something Su Ping had never conceived of.

The cover of this new Atlas depicted a golden dragon; yet, unlike the previous Divine Dragon, this dragon possessed two magnificent scaled wings, powerful limbs, and a lengthy tail.

It bore a resemblance to a winged lizard but was more slender, elegant, and exuded a greater sense of power.

"[Special Catalog 'Giant Dragon' illuminated, current Catalog Level: 1, received special origin reward: Immortal Dragon Soul!]"

Scarcely had this notification from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas appeared when Su Ping experienced a sharp, stabbing pain in his mind, as if his brain were engulfed in flames.

Though the sensation vanished as quickly as it arrived, it caused him to knit his brows.

Su Ping swiftly grasped the nature of the special talent reward accompanying the illumination of this Giant Dragon Catalog.

He had initially presumed the illumination would follow the established pattern of other Catalogs, enhancing the Dragon's Might level.

However, it now appeared to deviate somewhat.

Nevertheless, upon reviewing the details of this newfound talent, Su Ping found himself initially struggling to fully comprehend its implications.

"[Immortal Dragon Soul: A unique talent for a beastmaster, possessing no other special effects, enabling one to revive within their Beast Taming Space subsequent to death.]"

(Editor's Note: Upon resurrection, an individual's cultivation realm reverts to the lowest tier within their current Great Realm. Furthermore, they are barred from meditation for recovery over an extended duration. This particular ability is limited to a single use. Revival from death due to a naturally expired lifespan is not an option.)

This extraordinary talent...

Su Ping's lips tightened, rendering him momentarily silent.

Could such a beastmaster ability actually exist? Mortals who practice beast taming are truly astonishing!

Yet, to speak candidly, this specific power is undeniably vital and holds immense importance.
