Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 913 - 385: The Mystery of the Legend! False Rumors about Dragon City! (3)
Previously on Beast Taming: the More the Better...
To Su Ping’s astonishment, the man’s words were actually concerning Feifei’s Heart of Dreams.
"You are aware of this as well?"
"Naturally. Not only I, but several individuals from the Mechanical Association convened a meeting to deliberate on it. My estimation is that upon your arrival in the Imperial Capital this time, they will seek you out for a discussion."
"Oh?"
Su Ping’s eyes widened. He hadn’t anticipated that the individuals mentioned, being part of the Mechanical Association, would be anything less than significant figures, perhaps even those renowned individuals.
He had initially considered it a minor quirk of his pet beast and never imagined it would draw the attention of such influential people.
"In the future, if feasible, perhaps you could slightly reduce some of the expenditures. This would be advantageous for the nation and its people."
The Holy Dragon spoke with a degree of subtlety, prompting a wry expression from Su Ping:
"Holy Dragon, the value of this Mechanical Core is beyond my control. Even the failed mechanical cores used for awakening are priced this way, so there is naught I can do..."
The man let out a chuckle:
"Fear not, I am not suggesting you sell at a loss for mere publicity."
Further discussion on this subject ceased, and Su Ping did not resort to claims of hardship. He was acutely aware of the Pingyun Group's circumstances.
"On a separate note, has the Water Lord Jiao Ji been in contact with you recently?"
The man steered the conversation to a new inquiry.
Su Ping contemplated for a moment before nodding with a hint of guilt, refraining from a verbal reply:
"What do you imply?"
"The conflict between the two of them presents a significant opportunity for Dragon Nation.
During the era of the Ancient Tribes, though primitive, many pet beasts had yet to be fully developed. However, some possessed the bloodline inheritance of ancient divine beasts. Within the memories of these bloodlines lie numerous unique breeding methods.
These methods were lost with the demise of these ancient beings. Associating closely with these two individuals holds the potential to uncover these long-lost ancient breeding techniques.
You are truly fortunate! The Flame Venerable harbors intense animosity towards the beastmasters of Dragon Nation, and indeed, towards all beastmasters. Gaining the trust of one of them is of immense importance.
Consequently, Dragon Nation will marshal its full national resources to assist you in uncovering further information about the Flame Venerable Fire Spirit, thereby aiding your fire spirit in accessing more of the Flame Venerable’s inherited memories."
Su Ping’s eyes gleamed with renewed interest.
"Regarding the Water Venerable, in truth, compared to the Flame Venerable, the Water Venerable poses a greater threat! In antiquity, the Water Venerable’s individual combat prowess actually surpassed that of the Flame Venerable.
While it is said that water and fire are opposing elements, the Water Element ultimately holds dominion over the Fire Element. Concurrently, the Water Venerable had attained a measure of the Sea God’s Will; had the Daqian Royal Family not been human, the outcome of the water versus fire confrontation would have been uncertain."
Is that so?
As he listened to the man’s account, Su Ping glanced towards Little Flame within the spatial realm. The beast let out an indignant hiss upon hearing the statement.
He nodded in understanding.
"The Sea God’s Will is..."
"A power of dominion left behind by a Mythical Level entity; you will comprehend its nature once you reach the Legendary Level. There must have been a Mythical Level being on Blue Star."
On this particular matter, the speaker surprisingly offered no further details, instead redirecting the focus back to the Water Venerable:
"The External Incarnation is an exceptionally potent ancient skill! Now that you have ascended to the rank of Hall Breeder, its implications should be clear to you. I learned of the recent incident from Meng Yao.
Jiao Ji, acting as an external incarnation, has developed its own sentience, aspiring to sever ties with the Water Venerable’s main entity. It even seeks to assert its own consciousness as dominant!
Achieving this would not only grant Dragon Nation a legendary combatant but also facilitate its entry into the Endless Sea Domain, even if complete success is not attained. I recall your pet beast, the little wolf, seems to possess techniques related to cloning skills.
In this context, it could prove beneficial to you as well, could it not?"
Su Ping’s lips tightened; the benefit would be immense.
The issue was, he had no need for it!
He had already achieved mastery of the External Incarnation!
While the skill was undoubtedly formidable, its potential was not yet fully apparent in the Commander Level Xiao Qing.
However, it was sufficient to indicate boundless future prospects.
The crucial question was, what should he say?
He could only offer a silent nod, his expression resolute:
"Rest assured, I shall not disappoint you!"
"Hehe, even if you manage this, I won't have much to reward you with. However, once the time is right, you'll gain free access to some of Dragon Nation's leftover Super-Rank Skills, and even their Super-Rank Skill breeding methods."
Su Ping’s eyes lit up; for him, this was the most excellent promise.
"You still don't quite grasp it, many skills, even with the breeding method laid out, are incredibly difficult to achieve!"
Legend of the Holy Dragon shook his head, unable to fathom Su Ping’s excitement.
He himself was an exceptionally gifted breeder in his early days. Initially, the sheer number of breeding methods available made his heart race, but these skills simply cannot be replicated even with the detailed instructions.
The success rate is exceptionally low, demanding exceedingly precious and rare pet beasts along with the necessary resources.
It’s truly not something just anyone can casually attempt.
Su Ping merely chuckled, of course, he wouldn’t reveal his possession of a cheat.
He could only engage on this topic:
"One must strive to be satisfied; for something that makes Your Lordship the Holy Dragon so emotional, is it truly that difficult?"
"Indeed very difficult; for instance, among them is a skill passed down from ancient times. I wonder if you've encountered this super-rank skill within the hall skills? It originates from the early gates of the Wu Dynasty, the inherited skill of the Xie Family Clan, a technique known as Transferring Flowers and Trees!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping nodded:
"I have seen it. It's said to be capable of replicating any opponent's skill, and moreover, elevating the skill level to Divine Perfection?"
Legend of the Holy Dragon regarded him with admiration:
"Correct, that's the skill. The difficulty in breeding this specific skill is beyond imagination. You've seen Bing'er, haven't you? She is the Ice Dragon King of the Four Seas Dragon Palace."
Su Ping was once again taken aback; this person's conversation flowed too erratically.
How did it transition from Transferring Flowers and Trees to the Ice Dragon King?
Nevertheless, he still nodded:"I have seen her; she left a profound impression."
"Bing’er's disposition is indeed somewhat mischievous, but her talent is undeniable. She has already surpassed the Sea Dragon King, becoming the most promising dragon king within the Four Seas Dragon Palace poised to break through to legendary status. Do you comprehend the reason why?"
"I do not."
"As I mentioned earlier, Telepathic Communication involves a certain amount of rule power.
And the fundamental prerequisite for advancing to the legendary stage is the perception of a fragment of this rule power. Do you understand how a pet beast can grasp rule power?"
Su Ping shook his head once more.
This particular domain was already far beyond his comprehension.
"Hehe, it's quite straightforward: a skill's level corresponding to its attribute must reach 'Divine Perfection.' That is considered the mastery of the rule power derived from that skill!
The more potent the skill, the greater the rule power mastered at this level, and consequently, the higher the chance and assistance in breaking through various realms at the legendary level in the future!
Bing’er possesses two ice-element skills that have attained the Divine Perfection level, along with one water-element skill that has also reached Divine Perfection. Although none are super-rank, her prospects remain significant!"
Su Ping pursed his lips:"So, that Transferring Flowers and Trees skill..."
The man chuckled:
"Haha, alright, let's not dwell on that. There's the External Incarnation of the Water Venerable, Elder Zhu's Time Dragon Seed, and the elite forces from the Heavenly Tomb. Isn't the pressure on you quite substantial?"
Su Ping shook his head:"Rest assured, I am confident!"
"That is good."
After this exchange, Su Ping still inquired with curiosity:
"Your Lordship the Holy Dragon, what precisely constitutes a Time Series Dragon Seed?"
Legend of the Holy Dragon shook his head:
"It is indeed very special. It's a mutation of a pet beast that was originally ordinary yet not quite so. It was unexpectedly detected by the Dragon Gate as possessing the potential for Dragon Transformation, and the difficulty of achieving this transformation isn't high.
Therefore, your primary research focus at the time should have been to investigate how that ordinary pet beast mutated into the subsequent variant.
I heard from Leng Ao and Ah Sang that you have a keen interest in mutated pet beasts; all your contracted beasts are indeed mutants.
For those inheritance grounds within Dragon City, they have prepared the rarest and most peculiar mutant dragon species pet beasts specifically to recruit you.
This is precisely why Elder Zhu and I asserted that this is the most suitable pet beast for you! What do you say?"
Su Ping, at this moment, blinked in a state of mild bewilderment.
Is that truly the case?
A mutated pet beast possesses the potential for Dragon Transformation?
No, no!
What he truly needed to ponder now was:
Why were such outlandish rumors circulating through the martial world!?
Since when did he develop a liking for mutated pet beasts?
Breeder Su had firmly resolved, after Little Flame, that his next pet beast would absolutely not be a mutated one!
