Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 898 - 381: To the Imperial Capital! The Whereabouts of Meng Huangliang! (Part 2)

Su Ping’s swift response was met with a booming laugh from Zhu Hong on the other end of the line:

"Su Ping, congratulations! You’ve officially become the 98th ranked Grandmaster Trainer for Hall Level Super-Rank Skills!"

"Is that so? It's already official?"

"Indeed. Just log into your breeder account and navigate to the Hall Level Super-Rank Skills section."

Su Ping’s eyes brightened considerably.

While this distinction might not offer immediate tangible advantages, its significance to the Dragon Nation was evident, explaining the heightened concern from higher authorities.

After concluding the call, Su Ping promptly accessed his computer, logged into the Breeder Association’s backend system, and expertly navigated to the Hall Super-Rank section.

Even before perusing the skill listings, he observed the lively discussions on the World Breeder forum, prominently displayed on the homepage.

This specialized forum, frequented by breeders from across the globe, possessed detailed insights into the latest developments concerning Hall Level Super-Rank Skills.

[Top 98! Is this the most gifted young Breeding Master in Dragon Nation?]

[An in-depth look at this groundbreaking new Hall Level Super-Rank Skill.]

[The Five Elements? Could Dragon Nation’s ancient, somewhat simplistic understanding of energy principles give rise to such Super-Rank Skills?]

[...]

The forum was awash with a jumble of varied opinions.

However, a cursory scan revealed little to pique Su Ping’s interest. The moment he accessed the Hall Super-Rank section using his breeder credentials, a cascade of notifications appeared.

Upon opening them, he confirmed they were private messages from the World Breeder Hall:

[Esteemed Breeding Master Su Ping of Dragon Nation, your officially recognized Super-Rank Skill, ’Great Revolution Five Elements Physique,’ has achieved Hall Level Rank 98. You are granted full authority to amend all associated annotations.

Furthermore, you may access all exclusive paid content within the Breeders’ Hall forums. We wish you continued success in creating further remarkable works and achieving greater accomplishments!]

It was true, this specialized international forum certainly possessed its unique charms.

Additionally, several unread message indicators, marked by red dots, were visible.

Clicking on them, he discovered they were private chat messages, notably not in the Dragon Nation’s language. Su Ping gave them a brief glance but refrained from immediately employing translation software, deciding to focus on the most prominent announcement on the homepage first.

This was the striking banner featuring the bold numeral ’98’ that dominated the site.

Clicking through, as anticipated, led him to a recording of his press conference from two days prior.

Before Su Ping could even rewatch his moment of triumph, Qin Xiaoxue, standing nearby, let out an exclamation:

"Su Ping, you looked incredibly dashing that day!"

Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiaoxiao, also present, could only nod in agreement.

Su Ping arched an eyebrow, his previous somber mood momentarily lifting: "Oh? Are you implying I’m not handsome now?"

Qin Xiaoxue hesitated for a second, then considered his question before looking at him and sincerely replying: "Well, you still are."

Miss Qin certainly knew how to offer the right kind of emotional reassurance.

Su Ping spent little time viewing the video, having already lived through the experience firsthand, he found little new to glean.

He scrolled further down, focusing on the skill’s detailed description.

[Rank 98: Great Revolution Five Elements Physique (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth Element Super-Rank Skill), Grandmaster Trainer: Su Ping (Dragon Nation), Pet Beast utilized: Paper Man]

Reading this assertion, Su Ping felt a sense of profound disbelief wash over him.

Merely half a year ago, upon returning from Magic Capital, he had first encountered and familiarized himself with the Hall Level domain.

At that time, gazing upon the listed skills, he had marveled at the ingenuity behind their creation, considering them astonishingly potent.

And now, his own name was inscribed among them.

He had become one of the elite.

The number of recognized individuals on this list barely reached triple digits!

Throughout history, among all known Hall Level Super-Rank Skills for pet beasts, only a select few, less than a hundred individuals, had ever attained this level!

Yet, he was now counted among them!

What did this achievement signify?

It represented, almost unequivocally, the pinnacle of accomplishment within the breeding field.

It was a testament to Su Ping’s mastery of this skill, placing him within the historical top one hundred.

While not perfectly absolute, the implication was undeniably clear.

This unparalleled sense of accomplishment imbued the moment with an almost dreamlike, indescribable quality.

Su Ping continued his reading.

The skill description closely mirrored the insights gleaned from his ‘Eye of Truth’:

[Super·Great Revolution Five Elements Physique: A Super-Rank Skill conceived by Breeder Su, drawing upon the foundational Five Elements theory inherent in the ancient energy cultivation practices of Dragon Nation.

Five Elements Cycle: Through the strategic application of the Five Elements Cycle principle, the user’s physical energy can be amplified to magnitudes far exceeding its base level for a limited duration! This enhancement also confers a significantly accelerated rate of energy regeneration while active.]

Regarding the Five Elements Counteraction ability, it functions as follows: any offensive technique utilizing the power of the Five Elements will be rendered entirely useless against an opponent whose own Five Elements Cycle is at its peak. Furthermore, such attacks will be transformed into personal cultivation energy for the defender!

The Five Elements Mastery skill grants the user the ability to manipulate and unleash energy-based techniques drawing from the five fundamental elements: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

In essence, the core functionalities of this skill align closely with the protagonist's existing understanding.

However, certain nuances, such as the intricate operational principles of the Five Elements Cycle and precise details regarding energy release timing, remained undisclosed.

Curiously, within the section detailing the skill's historical creation, this particular area is conspicuously sparse, a departure from the norm observed in other hall skills.

Generally, cultivators who are still active tend to refrain from extensive documentation here, opting instead to impart their individual insights on beast breeding.

Naturally, the decision to share such personal reflections rests solely with the individual; they are at liberty to express whatever thoughts they deem appropriate.
