Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 884 - 377: Charles’s Gift? The Arrival of a Legend!

"This little fellow is truly formidable! Zhu Hong, are you certain that this skill was indeed initiated by Su Ping?"

This scene unfolded in the Imperial Capital, specifically within the Dragon City. It was situated in a peculiar pavilion that seemed to exist between the fabric of reality and the Secret Realm.

Several individuals were present within this special chamber.

Among them were Leng Ye, Zhu Hong, and several other notable figures. A group of them, observing the live broadcast on a nearby screen, exchanged smiles. An elderly man, distinguished by his flowing white beard and ethereal, immortal-like appearance, voiced his astonishment.

Zhu Hong responded with a smile, saying, "Elder Feng, this Great Revolution Five Elements Physique was primarily developed by Su Ping, drawing inspiration from the Paperman concept. It also incorporates insights from a historical female Beastmaster. However, Su Ping's contribution is the more significant one.

While the latter discovered the underlying principle, Su Ping was already operating at that conceptual level during that period and had commenced his research. It was only when he discovered Xue Hongluan’s schematic that the pace of his work accelerated. As for who deserves the credit for this skill, from any perspective, it unequivocally belongs to Su Ping. My role was merely to offer some assistance."

"Remarkable, truly remarkable."

The conversation and laughter among them were abruptly silenced within mere seconds.

The broadcast then displayed the events that had just transpired. Mu Hang’s figure had risen, and the words he spoke, along with the slowly intensifying crimson flame in the immediate vicinity, cast an intensely cold atmosphere over the pavilion.

Following this, a colossal wave of energy erupted, and a pair of scarlet eyes appeared to materialize from the void itself.

Instinctively, everyone’s gaze shifted towards Leng Ye.

The immense aura emanated directly from him.

"Charles!"

The words, forced out from between clenched teeth, elicited a palpable sense of concern from all those present.

Leng Ao, though considered young amongst them, possessed a truly astonishing rate of strength progression.

In the subsequent moment, Leng Ye's form was poised to erupt and depart instantly.

At that precise moment, a voice echoed, halting Leng Ye just as he was about to make a direct dash towards Linzhou: "Leng Ao, it is far too late."

The speaker was none other than Chairman Feng of the Breeder Association.

He was also, at that juncture, the only individual capable of restraining Leng Ye.

Leng Ye’s face contorted with intense emotion, his body straining to break free. Chairman Feng quickly interjected, "Calm yourself! Leng Ao, do not forget that Meng Yao is still present. Charles's manifestation is merely a projected consciousness; under these circumstances, Su Ping will not face any life-threatening danger. Place your trust in Meng Yao!"

"The Legendary Lord is also observing, awaiting his command."

As if on cue, almost in the very next instant, a voice resonated within their minds: "Do not act rashly. I will personally undertake this matter."

This voice, though calm, was undeniably authoritative.

Simultaneously, outside the confines of this pavilion, what appeared to be a spatial stairway materialized, connecting to the void. A figure stepped onto it and vanished.

This turn of events brought a slight easing of the palpable tension amongst everyone present.

There was no need for further elaboration regarding the situation in the Imperial Capital.

However, within the broadcast hall in Linzhou at this very moment, an unnerving silence had fallen, so profound that one could almost hear a pin drop.

Compounded by the unfolding events on screen, the atmosphere invariably sent shivers down people's spines.

The scarlet flame enveloped the figure’s head.

It was an eerie and terrifying spectacle.

The entire broadcast image seemed to flicker and distort due to the manifestation of this imposing figure.

In stark contrast, Su Ping himself displayed a notable lack of panic.

Perhaps it was due to Long’er's prior warning, or perhaps, in the face of such a significant event, any unexpected occurrences were no longer a source of true surprise.

"Who are you? How dare you make such grand pronouncements here!"

A breeder standing near 'Mu Hang' frowned and addressed the newcomer.

The head shrouded in the crimson flame turned slightly, casting a glance at the inquirer, but offered no response or action. It simply redirected its gaze towards Su Ping on the stage:

"Su Ping, it is indeed regrettable that I did not have the opportunity to meet you in person last time. Leng Sheng was far too overbearing. At that moment, I mistakenly believed you were merely bait to draw out the real target! I never anticipated you would possess such unique qualities. I offer my apologies for my prior underestimation."

Having said this, the figure surprisingly executed an ancient Dragon Nation salutation, a fist-and-palm gesture, directed towards Su Ping.

The demeanor displayed was exceptionally refined and graceful, and despite the incongruity with the menacing aura, it did possess a subtle hint of the outwardly sophisticated, albeit somewhat arrogant, demeanor of old Western aristocracy.

Of course, this impression would have been entirely different if not for the still-burning, frightfully intense crimson flame adorning the figure's head.

Su Ping's gaze shifted forward.

Long'er had already summoned its Beast Pet, and Ray Saint's spiritual power had dissipated. The former's action was a subconscious protective response, while the latter, unaware of the precise nature of events, sensed that something was amiss.

He felt a slight sense of relief, his mood calming somewhat. He then looked towards the approaching figure and spoke, his tone neither subservient nor overly assertive: "Senior Charles, you flatter me. How could an individual like myself possibly warrant an apology from the globally renowned Undead Breeder Grandmaster?"
