Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 921 - 388: First Encounter with Meng Huangliang! Constructing the Dream! (2)

Meng Yan smiled and shared his thoughts.

However, these words made Su Ping feel unprecedentedly absurd and inexplicable; he now somewhat understands why not even the Legend of the Holy Dragon could do anything about the current situation of the person before him.

This legendary spy is indeed outstanding, so much so that his excellence, along with the switch between reality and the Dream World, has led to slight problems in his understanding of the world and self.

Moreover, due to his meticulous logic and careful mind, he can find the opponent’s flaw in any situation and complete a self-logical closed loop seamlessly!

As long as I believe that everything before me is fake, no one can get even a tiny bit of intelligence from my mouth!

So, how can we change this without harming him?

Unless we find his flaw, but it’s Su Ping’s first time meeting him, and he knows almost nothing about this person; how could he possibly achieve that?

He furrowed his brow slightly and then smiled:

"Interesting, Zhuangzi dreams of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreams of Zhuangzi? Is this a symptom of Dream-Entering?"

"Hmm?"

Meng Yan paused slightly: "Zhuangzi dreams of a butterfly? What does that mean? Is it about the Dream Butterfly Pet Beast?"

Su Ping didn’t hide anything either, sharing the original story briefly.

For such a lunatic who couldn’t distinguish the Dream World from reality, a fun little tale like this seemed insignificant.

As for Long’er?

She never bothered with unrelated minor matters outside of her tasks.

"Hahaha, interesting, Zhuangzi dreams of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreams of Zhuangzi, has oneself in the Dream World become a Pet Beast, unable to tell the Dream World from reality?

This time, the tactics of that Cunning Eagle were quite good; the illusionary characters created were intriguing and could even tell such a fable to mock me."

Meng Yan shook his head and laughed happily, seemingly finding such a small story greatly amusing.

Su Ping laughed too; he didn’t try to change anything.

So many entities, possibly even Holy Spirits of the Psychic Element or legends, couldn’t accomplish this; why should he?

He actually finds the person before him fairly interesting.

"You think this is the Dream World; then, why would you say things to the caregiver looking after you?"

"You’ve asked this question before, even having the Holy Dragon himself ask? I know it’s your way to psychologically suggest to me that the questioners are independent entities, proving here is reality.

I won’t fall for it, don’t waste your efforts. So you asked, I’ll tell you; within such Dream Worlds, such a person’s existence is necessary.

It helps stabilize the foundational setting of building others’ Dream Realms, Ah Mei is Ah Mei, but doesn’t necessarily have to be Ah Mei; it could be Ah Lan, Ah Hong, anyone really.

The key is, this foundational setting is necessary for the Dream World; without this person, my existing Dream World would be incomplete.

Of course, upon hearing this, you suggested having Ah Mei leave, right? But so what? In this Dream World, I am a regular person through and through,

when on the verge of starving or dying of thirst, ’Ah Mei’ will still appear."

Su Ping stared wide-eyed and speechless at the man before him.

His mental extrapolation ability is truly unbeatable.

So, according to his logic, can only his ’death’ truly unravel this grand ’Dream World’ of reality? The problem is, in Dragon Nation, letting him die isn’t truly feasible!

Isn’t this darn near unsolvable?

Had Dragon Nation previously tried inducing a false death?

But Su Ping quickly realized, such things that he could comprehend, wouldn’t the Legend of the Holy Dragon and other Psychic Beastmasters have thought of it too?

Yet, in the end, the outcome is still the same, clearly showing that speaking of results proves unnecessary.

And soon, Su Ping captured another piece of information:

"Construct the Dream World?"

"You’re right, Dream Worlds are an extension of spiritual power, even abstract, illusionary worlds formed by spiritual power.

Yet they must observe basic logic within the real world, else those immersed in the Dream World or Pet Beasts will intuitively sense there’s something wrong.

If they realize this is the Dream World, humans and Pet Beasts, once clearly aware they’re dreaming, the world of dreams becomes exceptionally unstable instantaneously or even collapses directly!"

Meng Yan explained freely to Su Ping with a smile.

His words plunged Su Ping into contemplation.

"Dream..."

He muttered to himself.

His third Pet Beast.

Feifei, always the most particularly mutated Psychic Element Mechanical Pet Beast; its Heart of Dreams was the very curiosity of his exploration of the Dream World.

And the only Breeder of Hall Super Rank Skills involving Dream-Entering was right before him.

Su Ping pursed his lips and asked a rather inexplicable question:

"Can a Dream World create a real, fantasy realm?"

"Hmm?" The man before him slightly paused, eyeing Su Ping with suspicion:

"Little one, what are you talking about? What does that mean? Illusion and reality are completely opposite, independent words; what does it mean to form a real fantasy realm?"

A brilliant light seemed to flash through Su Ping’s mind.

Such a sensation made him excited and thrilled.

Because back then, when he first saw the Five Elements circulation chart left by Xue Hongluan, he had felt this way.

And now, that feeling surprisingly reappeared.

"Can a Dream World entirely connect the dreams of all living beings in a certain area? Use spiritual power to condense a real Dream Realm? Not to mention, Elder Meng, your Dream-Entering skill can achieve this, right?

I recall, your Dream-Entering skill can enter others’ dreams; even if you kill them in the dream, that person dies in reality too, doesn’t it?

That’s the main manifestation of how dreams affect reality! If all dreams were connected..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Huangliang froze slightly, then laughed helplessly:

"Little guy, where did you hear that?"

Su Ping raised his brow: "Among Hall Super Rank skills, Dream-Entering..."

"Haha, Dream-Entering can indeed affect reality, and can similarly use this skill to kill opponents.

But it’s not as you imagined, it’s not realizing the influence through the connection between dreams and reality.

It’s within the dream realm that the opponent’s spiritual soul faces annihilating spirit category attacks, likely differing a bit from what you were thinking."

Hmm?

Su Ping paused slightly, is that so?

He thought it was akin to methods like those of ’Ghost Chaplin’ Freddy.

"Moreover, Dream-Entering actually has many restrictions, even, in my opinion, for my Dream-Entering to reach Hall level, it’s quite inflated.

Purely due to the incompetence of people like you, allowing me to steal critical information with this skill, thereby the Cunning Eagle elevated the opponent,

letting Dream-Entering enter Hall level; structurally, Dream-Entering scarcely qualifies as a Super-Rank skill, it formed through fortuitous coincidences."

Su Ping’s brow furrowed again.

Originally, he thought perhaps combining Dream-Entering with the principles of forming the Heart of Dreams might genuinely establish a unique real Dream Realm.

In this world, Feifei’s combat power could be perfected and raised, simultaneously discovering some directions for this entity’s evolution.

Yet it seems now, it’s not really the case.

Su Ping was lost in thought.

On the other hand, Meng Yan didn’t urge anything but was intrigued while examining the ’npc’ formed by the Dream World before him.

This time, the npc appeared quite distinct from any others before.

It indeed seemed quite a bit like the real deal.

To Meng Yan’s surprise, after pondering for a while, Su Ping abruptly stood up and slightly bowed towards him:

"Thank you, elder, for your guidance; this visit was greatly rewarding. I’ll come back tomorrow, then, and present you with a gift.

That item, derived from my Pet Beast, is an outcome from the Dream World that I hope you’ll appreciate!"

Su Ping wishes to see Meng Huangliang’s perspective on the Heart of Dreams, possessing such insights on the Dream World.

Simultaneously, Su Ping has comprehended his next completely independent research direction.

A breeding research direction centered around ’Feifei’.
