Su Ping contemplates his recent gains regarding dream manipulation and his mechanical pet Feifei's potential evolution. He requests a Dreamheart Helmet from Dong Muyun for Feifei. The next morning, Su Ping finds his room at the Dragon Dynasty Club besieged by visitors, including the highly-regarded young dragon tamer, Chen Zhan, a prominent candidate for the upcoming professional assessment.

The conversation topic had yet to materialize.

Indeed, among the trio who had arrived presently, the one leading them was Chen Zhan.

And the two individuals accompanying Chen Zhan, if Su Ping were present, he would have instantly recognized them as Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao, the second and third place contenders in Jianghai’s provincial examination this year.

"Brother Chen, is Su Ping truly here? This place appears to be a restricted zone, doesn't it?"

Li Yaoyao cast her gaze upon the grand courtyard entrance before them, encircled by towering walls. As an individual who had never set foot in the Imperial Capital before, she obviously had no grasp of the kind of person capable of carving out such an expanse within the very heart of the capital.

"Yes, the Dragon Dynasty Club is indeed an exclusive establishment within the Imperial Capital. I frequent it occasionally, or host gatherings here!"

Compared to Li Yaoyao, Yan Fan was undoubtedly more seasoned in worldly affairs:

"A venue like this, and Brother Chen can even host events here? That's truly remarkable! I observed earlier that there seemed to be a senior Emperor Level Beastmaster entering the premises..."

"Haha, I've merely managed to secure ordinary membership thanks to my family's backing. The Chen and Wang families have a long-standing cordial relationship, which affords me occasional access.

Regarding the individual who just entered, I have encountered them once before. They are a person of considerable standing in the Imperial Capital, the Chief Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, which also oversees the Secret Realm Administration. Not only are they an Emperor Level Beastmaster, but they also hold a significant official post!"

Chen Zhan offered a slight smile, elucidating the identity of the person who had just passed through the gates of the Dragon Dynasty Club.

"I see. As expected of the Imperial Capital, such prominent figures are few and far between in Linzhou."

Yan Fan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Here, it felt as though one might hit a multitude of Monarch Level Beastmasters just by tossing a brick.

"Don't disparage yourselves! Even the mightiest dragons may emerge from humble waters! Linzhou producing a figure like Breeder Su proves that exceptional individuals can rise to prominence anywhere, much like yourselves, Brother Yan and Yaoyao."

Chen Zhan remarked with a smile.

His bearing was exceptionally refined, and his words were beyond reproach.

At this juncture, Yan Fan also inquired with a hint of curiosity:

"But returning to the core matter, Brother Chen, what precisely are you seeking Su Ping for? You even requested that Yaoyao and I accompany you, despite our limited acquaintance with Su Ping."

Chen Zhan felt a measure of helplessness within his heart, recalling his father's directives from the previous night. Then, he offered a subtle smile:

"I have heard of Breeder Su's renown and hold him in high regard, thus I wished to have the opportunity to meet him."

Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao offered nods in response, refraining from further comment.

The individual before them was truly one of prestigious lineage.

Regardless of the underlying reason, the fact that this elite second-generation figure had personally come seeking Su Ping was sufficient testament.

However, from Chen Zhan's perspective, he believed he was exerting his utmost effort.

After all, his Chen family in the Imperial Capital was among the select few still boasting Spirit Saint Level Beastmasters within their ancestral line.

And unlike certain families that experienced suppression in the past, they remained favored by that influential figure and Dragon City.

Were it not for this standing, he would not have been promised a Dragon Pet as a bestowal upon reaching Commander Level, having awakened his talent early at the age of sixteen.

If not for his father's explicit instructions, someone of his stature would not have personally condescended to engage with these two provincial individuals from Jianghai, merely to find a means of connecting with someone two years his junior.

Chen Zhan genuinely struggled to comprehend the source of Su Ping's success, let alone his ability to breed two Super-Rank Skills.

He had encountered Super-Rank Skills previously; his own Azure Dragon possessed one, a Wind-elemental skill in addition to the Soul of Dragon.

Breeding Super-Rank Skills? What was the grand significance of that?

Were they inherently more potent than the might wielded by his grandfather and great-grandfather as Beastmasters?

Within the hierarchy of the Beastmaster Society, ultimate importance was placed upon the combat prowess of both the Pet Beast and the Beastmaster.

Naturally, these inner musings were something Chen Zhan would never overtly display. Whether he was willing to comply with his family's mandate was one matter; whether he could execute it effectively was an entirely different consideration.

Yet, it was opportune.

His family consistently advised him against frequenting Dragon Dynasty.

And Chen Zhan, in truth, derived considerable pleasure from visiting this place, as many of its facilities and diversions were unavailable within his ancestral estate.

Now, being able to visit the Dragon Dynasty Club under a legitimate pretext was hardly a wasted endeavor?

Merely with these two provincial companions...

Chen Zhan cast a glance at Yan Fan and Li Yaoyao standing beside him, a subtle smile gracing his lips:

"Alright, let's go in and have the front desk announce our arrival. You two are both from Jianghai, with Breeder Su. Please introduce him to your younger brother."

"Oh no, Brother Chen, you are too kind. Although we might be a few years older than you, when it comes to Beastmaster skills, we still have much to learn from you... As for the introduction, we will do our best..."

"Very well, let's discuss this inside."

At the Dragon Dynasty Club, privacy was naturally not an issue.

Individuals staying here were generally left undisturbed unless they happened to meet others within the various venues and facilities. However, for those actively visiting someone, entry was only permitted after an announcement and the host's explicit consent.

Nevertheless, as they stepped into the reception hall, a few receptionists, individuals who could easily make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry, found themselves looking helplessly at the figure standing before them.

To the trio's astonishment, this figure causing such a stir among the young ladies was none other than the Chief Supervisor of the Qintian Monitor, the Emperor-Level Beastmaster that Chen Zhan had just mentioned.
