Su Ping cast his gaze upon the peculiar creature beside him, a being with a draconic head of a dark crimson hue, a mischievous smile gracing its features, leaving him momentarily speechless.
Just then, a voice, both familiar and tinged with a hint of exasperation, broke the silence:
"Zhu Hong, you may proceed with your business. Su Ping, come over here."
As the words were uttered, the world seemed to warp around Su Ping. The surroundings blurred and receded at an astonishing pace, his body propelled backward involuntarily. When his senses fully returned, he found himself standing atop a pavilion suspended in the sky.
The preceding events felt akin to a fleeting dream.
Yet, upon turning, the enigmatic red-and-dragon-headed creature remained by his side, its smile unwavering, its nature still undecided between man and dragon.
Su Ping’s eyelid gave a slight twitch. Finally focusing on the figure now within his sight, he hastened to speak:
"Greetings to the Saint Dragon, and to this esteemed elder!"
The legend known as the Holy Dragon was a man of unassuming appearance.
His visage bore the resemblance of an ordinary man, perhaps around thirty years of age.
Now, meeting this individual with a clear and present mind, Su Ping felt a surge of genuine excitement.
"Su Ping, at last we meet. You have truly surpassed my expectations!"
The man's smile was calm as he spoke:
"You managed to withstand the influence of the Celestial Tomb Mark!"
Su Ping's eyelid twitched once more, surprised that this person could discern it so readily.
However, his gaze quickly shifted to the smiling, ancient dragon beside him.
Indeed, the man acknowledged the elder with his eyes before continuing:
"You were perhaps a bit too eager. Nevertheless, Su Ping, allow me to make an introduction."
The man gestured towards the ancient, peculiar dragon, stating:
"This is Elder Zhu. As you can see, he too is of the Dragon Clan, though distinct from others. Lord Candle is, at present, the sole dragon within Dragon City who truly commands the Time attribute. Furthermore, he holds the esteemed position of the most senior Dragon King in Dragon City. His realm rests at the Legendary Ninth Rank."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping’s jaw dropped. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the peculiar, ancient dragon, which possessed two bodies but a single head.
A Time Series Dragon Clan? A Legendary Ninth Rank?
Could Dragon City truly harbor such a high-ranking Legendary Dragon King?!
And Candle? The Candle Dragon?
Wasn't this entity one of those legendary beings from ancient myths and legends?
Seemingly pleased by Su Ping’s astonishment, the ancient dragon let out a chuckle:
"Young one, your future holds great intrigue! Would you care to share some personal details so I may glimpse your destiny? This Old Dragon possesses considerable skill in such matters!"
Su Ping’s pupils contracted once more.
Of all the attributes possessed by Pet Beasts, the one he most deeply dreaded was the Time Series.
It was undeniably too eerie and mysterious.
Even though such Pet Beasts were few in number, each one exhibited exceptionally unique abilities.
And here stood one whose mastery over the Time attribute had reached the Legendary level, and it was a dragon – its power was surely beyond imagining.
Could it truly perceive the future?
Despite this, Su Ping couldn't help but feel the claim was somewhat preposterous.
The man, unperturbed by Su Ping's astonishment, proceeded:
"I understand you have numerous doubts and questions you wish to pose, but today, I have ample time. We can relocate later and discuss at our leisure. Since Elder Zhu has made your acquaintance first, let us address his matters initially."
The man fell silent, but the Candle Dragon, with its face that was both human and draconic, spoke:
"Regarding the matters within Dragon City, this Old Dragon is already aware. You, little one, are quite remarkable! However, the affairs concerning those younger individuals are not pressing, much like the Mechanical Dragon currently undergoing intensive research."
"Little one, I possess the most singular dragon species Pet Beast here. Are you intrigued?"
Su Ping opened his mouth, but before a question could be formed, the ancient dragon anticipated Su Ping’s unspoken query and stated directly:
"Indeed, it is a Time Series Dragon! Furthermore, I can assure you, within all of Dragon City – including this Old Dragon, including Ah Xuan’s Divine Dragon, and even the Mechanical Dragon bestowed upon you – none are as unique as this dragon species!"
"Not just within Dragon City, but even across Blue Star, this is undoubtedly the rarest type of Pet Beast species! Moreover, it is undeniably a member of the Time Series Dragon Clan!"
Su Ping's lips parted slightly.
A dragon species of the Time Series – such an allure felt incredibly difficult to resist!
