Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1008: Chapter 421: Crystal Dragon in Hand! The Biggest Winner of the Bet! (Part 2)

Among the broadcast images, there seemed to be a fleeting phantom figure, but it was impossible to see clearly.

Until the sequence of flickering images, under the reflection of the sunset light, a dragon that appeared to be made of diamond refracted diverse and dark red light, did everyone finally see what kind of dragon it was.

“The last one is a space element Crystal Dragon. Even in the Dragon Nation, the space element Crystal Dragon is one of the rarest among the Dragon Clan. The Crystal Dragon not only possesses many space element abilities, but can also produce Monarch Level special space resources ‘Space Crystal’ during its upbringing…”

As Liu Xu explained, even Ye Zhou expressed some envy. However, it was clear that even if they wanted it, they would have to wait for Su Ping to make his choice first.

“With the introduction of the five dragon eggs complete, as per the previous rules, Su Ping, who has claimed first place, is invited to select his dragon pet first!”

The five dragon eggs were arranged in sequence, appearing before Saint Yuan and Sang Sheng.

Everyone’s eyes turned red, but at this moment, no one dared to make any illicit moves.

It’s laughable; regardless of the presence of figures like Sang Sheng and Saint Yuan, who could leave the Imperial Capital even if they stole it?

Amidst everyone’s gaze, Su Ping cleared his throat, prompting Ye Zhou and Chen Zhan to express regret:

“I choose the Crystal Dragon.”

As expected.

Sang Sheng smiled faintly, picking up the crystalline, diamond-like Crystal Dragon egg, and walked up to Su Ping:

“Su Ping, congratulations on securing first place! This is your reward! To hatch the dragon egg, pierce it with your own blood, drip it in to invoke the dragon’s power, and the hatching will complete.”

The Crystal Dragon egg is not heavy; it’s even quite light.

Like a plastic bag, it’s cold to the touch, yet Su Ping could feel an indescribable life force brewing within.

However, Sang Sheng paused and then smiled subtly, quietly saying:

“Come up here later! You little rascal have caused many of us a big loss!”

A big loss? Come up here?

Su Ping was slightly stunned, but quickly nodded nonetheless.

He was curious to see what kind of loss it was.

With the choice of Crystal Dragon, Chen Zhan and Ye Zhou were slightly disappointed, but eventually, both confirmed their choices.

Ye Zhou chose the Iron Dragon next.

He possessed time-reversal abilities, giving more advantage to the Iron Dragon in melee combat.

And Chen Zhan, after some thought, chose the Lava Giant Dragon.

He wasn’t particular; either the Lava Giant Dragon or the Frost Dragon would suffice.

Besides, his original Azure Dragon belongs to the Divine Dragon Clan, so having one from the Giant Dragon Clan would be nice too.

Of course, the main reason aligns with the rationale that Su Ping mentioned earlier.

That Frost Dragon? Anyone with sharp eyes could see that the Ice Mountain Goddess, Mu Hanchan, was set on acquiring it.

Every time someone chose, her little fist would clench. Only when it wasn’t the Frost Dragon did she seem relieved.

After Chen Zhan, it was Qin Xiaoxue’s turn.

Miss Qin glanced at Mu Hanchan,

who also glanced at Qin Xiaoxue, the Ice Mountain Goddess revealing a rare, cautious expression.

Miss Qin chuckled.

Her temperament finds such aloof personas rather irksome.

Intentionally teasing the Ice Mountain Goddess, for Miss Qin, was undoubtedly a fun thing.

Thus, Miss Qin acted hesitantly, and after seeing Mu Hanchan’s face turn red, she playfully paused and then said:

“As for me, I’ll choose that Ghost Dragon, alright?”

Evidently, Mu Hanchan let out a long breath of relief.

Finally, under Liu Xu’s commentary, Saint Yuan presented the last Frost Dragon egg as a gift.

At the end of this career evaluation, Liu Xu introduced, and then Sang Sheng stepped onto the stage and gave a speech.

The speech was simple.

It addressed the reform of pet beast education.

The expansion of Advanced Colleges across provinces.

And the allocation of annual Advanced College assessments to regional campuses from various provinces.

Moreover, the personal assessments for professional beastmasters would no longer be conducted as competitions, but as individual participations at local Beastmaster Associations.

Besides that, similar national assessments like this.

Given the complete success of this event, it’s decided that such a competition will be held every three years, not as a career assessment for beastmasters, but as the current name suggests.

That is the Young Beastmaster Competition.

Taking into account the family situations of some young beastmasters, so in ordinary beastmaster institutions using Awakening Stone for a beastmaster’s awakening.

If they cannot obtain satisfactory pet beasts or cannot afford them,

all students who successfully graduate may choose to receive a completely free pet beast egg from their respective academies as their first pet beast, particularly for majorly impoverished families.

Graduation pet beasts are random, varying in grade from ordinary to Commander Level—although Commander Level chances are extremely low—and ensuring fairness through entirely random distribution…

A series of news almost altered the future paths for young beastmasters across the Dragon Nation.

Undoubtedly, such news marked this evening as a sleepless night.

Heated discussions surrounded not only Su Ping and tonight’s competing beastmasters but also the massive changes in the Dragon Nation.

But unquestionably, these changes are moving in a positive direction.

However, for Su Ping and the young beastmasters competing tonight, it was irrelevant.

Su Ping followed Sang Sheng’s guide to reach the uppermost broadcasting room.

Sure enough, familiar faces were present.

Yet, before Su Ping could greet Elder Feng, Mad Saint, and the relatively unfamiliar ones, a figure suddenly appeared before him like a predatory beast and embraced him tightly:

“Su Ping, from now on, you are my best brother!”

Su Ping rolled his eyes, glancing at the waist-high Ray Saint with a bit of speechlessness:

“What are you…?”

Following closely, entering the room was Saint Yuan, with a gloomy expression:

“Su Ping, didn’t Sang Sheng tell you? You’ve cost the old man a major loss!”

Hmm?

Su Ping was puzzled and looked at Leng Ye, who scoffed lightly:

“Old Chen, the bets were your idea; don’t be a sore loser.”

Immediately, upon hearing these words, Su Ping understood.

Soon after, Sang Sheng said with a laugh:

“Cold Ao, Meng Yao, and Elder Feng bet on you to win in the end; we all lost.”

Su Ping blinked, Elder Feng beside also laughed:

“This time, we acquired many good things from these guys, thanks to you, Su Ping. So Su Ping, my bet on you was promising one condition.

How about this, Su Ping, the condition I promised will be transferred to you because you helped me acquire many good things from these guys.

Whatever I can assist with, just ask!”

At these words, everyone was stunned.

No one seemed to expect Elder Feng to speak like this at the moment.

Su Ping also blinked, surprised at such an unexpected reward.

Leng Ye also lifted his lips:

“Sang Sheng’s Red Spider Lily, I find it useful, so, kid, my bet was that Emperor Level Ji Yin Earthbound Spirit cub, also given to you as a favor!”

Hmm?

This time, it wasn’t just Su Ping who was surprised, but Meng Yao who had just let go.

At this moment, Meng Yao realized that everyone else was looking at him.

Meng Yao blinked.

Can I compare with these two?

Elder Feng is the President of the Breeder Association!

Leng Ao is the Commander of the Northern Legion,

What about me?

No, why are all of you looking at me?
