Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 895 - 380: Departure! Journey to the Imperial Capital! (Part 2)

"Breeder Su, there’s absolutely no need for you to trouble yourself. This journey to the Imperial Capital includes not just a few youngsters, but also their families and staff. Therefore, we won’t be consuming the resource space on the Dragonus. You can proceed on your own."

Su Ping cast a glance at Yan Fan and the others, who displayed a mix of intrigue and curiosity but remained silent. He offered a nod:

"Understood. We hail from Jianghai, so if there should be any need, you know how to reach me. Once we arrive in the Imperial Capital, should you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me."

Vice President Xu quickly affirmed:

"Indeed, if anything is required, we will notify you without delay."

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

"Mm, we shall see you in the Imperial Capital then."

Vice President Xu offered no further words, and Su Ping rose to his feet.

He carried no luggage.

After all, any necessities he required were safely stored within his Beast Taming Space.

As Su Ping and the woman with the unyielding expression departed the backstage area one after another, Yan Fan turned his gaze to Vice President Xu, the team's supervising teacher:

"President Xu, is Su Ping departing now? What exactly is this Dragonus?"

Vice President Xu met his gaze:

"Do you truly wish to hitch a ride to the Magic Capital with him? Do not hold me responsible if you attract animosity, you young rascals."

It was evident that facing Su Ping and these elite young Beastmasters, Vice President Xu, now an Emperor Level Beastmaster himself, adopted a distinctly different demeanor.

"President Xu, what do you imply?"

"Why is Breeder Su heading to the Magic Capital now? Didn’t he just state the reason?"

"To pick someone up. What’s the issue?"

Yan Fan appeared somewhat slow on the uptake.

"To put it plainly, he’s collecting a girl."

"Ah? Who?"

This declaration clearly ignited a spark of interest in many present.

Gossip, a fundamental human instinct, especially when entwined with a prominent figure like Su Ping, was evidently quite the thrilling prospect.

Vice President Xu surveyed the surroundings. Finding no extraneous individuals nearby, he leaned in and whispered:

"Who else could it be? What is our president’s surname? And what is the surname of the young lady participating in the final test from Magic Capital Academy?"

It became immediately apparent to all those who had diligently gathered intelligence on potential rivals, given that the Magic Capital and Imperial Capital represented the most prestigious academies:

"Qin..."

"Your awareness is sufficient; refrain from spreading rumors! Thus, when they are traveling together, why insert yourselves and become awkward third wheels?"

"Su Ping may not be petty, but Miss Qin is certainly not someone easy to handle."

Vice President Xu spoke no further, a slight smile gracing his lips:

"As for the nature of the Dragonus, hehe, I too benefited. Just a few days ago, I had the privilege of observing it alongside President Qin. Fortunately for you, the Dragonus is currently housed within the association. You shall witness its ascent shortly."

A wave of bewilderment washed over everyone, their expressions reflecting a degree of confusion at his statement.

However, their understanding soon followed.

From the vantage point near the window in the backstage broadcast room, one could see the rooftop of another building belonging to the association.

Approximately a few minutes later, a metal hatch on the rooftop slid open. Subsequently, an unusually shaped aircraft, adorned with an extravagant design and coated in a dark gold finish, gradually emerged.

Everyone’s eyes widened. In the subsequent moment, Su Ping’s silhouette emerged and entered the aircraft. Then, in under thirty seconds, the machine emitted a roar akin to a dragon's and propelled itself skyward, vanishing beyond the horizon.

Gazing at the fiery jet trail soaring upwards, everyone present swallowed audibly:

"Is that... the Dragonus?"

Vice President Xu offered a nod, a subtle trace of envy and sentiment coloring his tone:

"Indeed, it is the exclusive aircraft that signifies the Dragon Nation's status. It is rumored that with sufficient energy, these craft are capable of traversing the energy layer and venturing amongst the stars. We are fortunate to witness it; it is seldom seen."

"Apart from designated storage areas, the majority are kept within specially crafted space capsules. However, this specific aircraft belonging to Breeder Su is an anomaly; it cannot be stored in such a manner, nor does he possess a suitable location at home. Hence, it is temporarily housed here."

None of the young individuals present could resist the sheer allure projected by this magnificent vessel.

Their gazes were alight with envy and profound aspiration, particularly Yan Fan, who looked towards Vice President Xu with eager anticipation:

"President Xu, what are the prerequisites for obtaining such a conveyance?"

Vice President Xu acutely understood their unspoken desires. Confronting their longing stares, he let out a sigh:

"You ambitious youngsters, always aiming for the stars. Even President Qin does not possess one yet. Beyond achieving the same level of excellence in breeding as Breeder Su, the most direct path is to attain the Spirit Saint Level."
