Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 892 - 379: The New Hall Breeder: Su Ping!
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
Su Ping let out a soft chuckle.
Beside him, Long’er observed Su Ping, who was engaged in a lengthy phone call, mostly as a listener. She shifted her gaze to the driver’s seat, where Dong Muyun, her expression unchanged, was now piloting the vehicle at nearly two hundred miles per hour, having already cleared the Linzhou City district.
This captain-level operator, a veteran of the special forces, displayed a flicker of admiration. Resisting the mental onslaught of the Celestial Tomb Mark while maintaining such composure before two women he deeply cared for was indeed remarkable. It was no wonder he had achieved his current standing; his willpower was undeniably beyond that of ordinary young Beastmasters.
After a brief exchange with Qin Xiaoxue, as dusk enveloped them, they finally arrived back at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. Su Ping promptly parried all inquiries. He had no desire to reiterate what he had already explained to Qin Xiaoxue and Dong Muyun multiple times.
Conveniently, his recently enhanced spiritual power required a period of stabilization. With a simple word, he retired for the night, genuinely needing the rest.
The day’s events had been incredibly demanding.
The unveiling of the Paperman’s evolutionary secrets and the Great Revolution Five Elements Physique.
The intervention by Charles.
The appearance of the Legend of the Holy Dragon.
The profound emotional roller coaster caused by the Celestial Tomb Mark.
And the residual effects of his spiritual power breakthrough. All these had left Su Ping thoroughly drained.
Returning to his study, he had barely settled down before succumbing to a deep sleep.
However.
The repercussions of the press conference held earlier that day were just beginning to ripple across the globe.
...
Lion Nation.
Often referred to as the Sun Never Sets Empire, compared to the ascendant Dragon Country and the Eagle Country, which had greatly profited from the mechanical pet beast revolution, the Lion Nation’s national strength appeared somewhat diminished. Nevertheless, as a Beastmaster Empire dominating a significant portion of the Western Continent, the Lion Nation retained a formidable foundation.
Within the most advanced laboratory of the Lion Country Imperial Library, an elderly woman, her eyes deeply set, a hooked nose, and a face etched with wrinkles like parched orange peel, peered critically at the specimen before her. This was an extraordinary being, a humanoid entity adorned with pure white wings sprouting from its back.
"Is this the Spirit Saint Level evolutionary form of the Light Element Pet Beast, the 'Light Angel'? It's no wonder this small, faith-driven Beastmaster nation, the Kingdom of Light, has experienced such rapid growth in recent years." The old woman murmured in the Lion Nation’s tongue, her brow furrowed, her silver hair cascading down, lending her an appearance reminiscent of a sorceress from ancient Western folklore.
At this precise moment, the laboratory door swung open, and a girl with platinum blonde hair and spectacles entered. The old woman turned, a hint of annoyance in her voice, "Ilo? What is it? I’ve instructed you not to disturb me unnecessarily when I’m in the laboratory."
The newcomer’s gaze fell upon the Light Angel in its enclosure. She swallowed hard and quickly stated, "My apologies, ma’am, but something significant has occurred."
Noticing her assistant’s agitated state, the old woman exited the laboratory into the adjoining office. "What has happened?"
Settling into a chair, the assistant explained breathlessly, "Ma’am, the Dragon Country from the East has submitted a certification for a Hall Level Super Rank Skill, and Lord Charles from Eagle Country has validated this Super Rank Skill’s eligibility for Hall Level entry. Furthermore, the entity from Dragon Country ventured into the cosmos three hours ago, obliterating an Eagle Country fleet comprising cosmic-grade warships. This included the quasi-legendary Spirit Saint Peak mechanical warship, the 'Icarus,' and twelve Spirit Saint Level starships. Simultaneously, during the indiscriminate barrage, over a hundred Beastmasters mining in Eagle Country's cosmic territories were killed or wounded, four of whom were Emperor Level Beastmasters and dozens more were Monarch Level Beastmasters. The Spirit Saint Level Beastmaster Beldeh, stationed in Eagle Country's cosmic territory, sustained severe injuries and was on the brink of death. However, a representative from Eagle Country's council entered the cosmos and managed to rescue Mr. Beldeh just moments before he succumbed under the 'Icarus’s' protective cover. The specifics of their encounter in the cosmos remain unknown, but it is reported that the entity ultimately took no further action and returned to Eagle Country."
The old woman’s eyelids fluttered. Her somewhat clouded eyes regarded her assistant with disbelief. "Ilo, are you attempting to test my intellect and seasoned judgment?"
The assistant helplessly extended her hands. "Ma’am, it is the truth. You can log into your Hall account to verify the proposal submitted by Dragon Country."
The old woman ceased speaking and immediately logged in. She then fell silent, engrossed in the proposal within the system and two accompanying video recordings.
The ancient woman observed the young man in the video, his handsomeness striking and his youth unparalleled. Normally, such a rare, handsome Eastern face might have garnered her attention. However, her current mood offered no space for such observations. She stared intently at the Super Rank Skill showcased in the video, silence stretching. Amidst this heavy atmosphere, the office phone jangled, breaking the stillness. The old woman picked up. After a few nods and little else, she ended the call and drifted into a deep trance. Her assistant rushed to inquire, "Ma'am, what is it?" "It is true..." The old woman became lost in contemplation.
