Jiao Long, is this the name of this big guy?
Su Pingâs eyes were fixed on the fighter jet with its intertwined black and dark gold, shining brightly under the rooftop sunlight.
He could feel that this thing was incredibly vivid, just like the Cloud Soarer he had ridden before.
However, the Cloud Soarer gave him a sense of etherealness and freshness back then.
Whereas this Jiao Long, which belonged to him, exuded an aura of dominance and sharpness.
Clearly, the interior of this thing is unknown as he hasnât gone inside yet.
However, this is undoubtedly an airborne fighter that lives up to its level.
You can sense it from its aura alone.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Longâer in front of him.
From the looks, with short hair leaning towards androgyny and similarly solid features along with a wheat-colored complexion, at first glance, it was hard to tell the gender.
Appearing to be around thirty, but presumably, a Beastmaster of this level should be older than they appear.
"Hello, Dragon... uh, senior, I really didnât expect your speed to be so fast."
"Breeder Su, no need for courtesy. The Legendary Lord personally instructed me to come here quickly. Now, please enter the Jiao Long for it to complete the recognition procedure."
Longâer spoke expressionlessly.
Throughout, she maintained this expression, showing no hint of emotion on her face.
Su Ping was slightly startled: "Recognition procedure?"
This was the first time he had heard of this term.
Next to him, Ray Saint explained:
"In such upper-level mechanical vehicles, there is a recognition program written into the Mechanical Core. Although it doesnât have the numerous effects of a Soul Contract, it still allows such mechanical life to prioritize the commands of the owner itâs bound to.
My Po Lang, Leng Shengâs, Sang Shengâs, and other Spirit Saint Level Beastmasters all went through such a process. However, mine is a giant ship navigating the sea, while most of the other Spirit Saint Level existences are like your fighter jet."
However, after explaining, Ray Saint turned his gaze to the Jiao Long:
"This Jiao Long seems even more unusual?"
Longâer glanced at the inquisitive Ray Saint and explained to Su Ping:
"Besides the Mechanical Core, Jiao Long is also an initial manifestation of the research and development achievements in Dragon City."
Hmm?
This time, not only Su Ping but the other three were also surprised as they looked at Longâer.
Apparently, even someone like Ray Saint, at the Spirit Saint Level, wasnât as informed about certain aspects as Longâer was.
Moreover, the significance and status of Dragon City to the Dragon Nation need no explanation.
"Research achievements from Dragon City? From which Land of Inheritance? What type of research achievements?"
Ray Saint asked directly.
Longâer shook her head, neither hiding anything nor providing an answer:
"In reply to Ray Saint, Iâm not sure which Land of Inheritance specifically, but I do know some things about the effects inside the Jiao Long. Itâs the result of the last twenty years of research on the Mechanical System Dragon Clan in Dragon City."
Upon hearing this, Ray Saintâs eyes widened dramatically.
Incredulously, he looked at Longâer.
"The birth of the Mechanical System Dragon Clan? The research succeeded?"
Longâer continued to shake her head:
"Sorry, Ray Saint, I donât know the specifics of this either, itâs just that the chief told me this before."
Ray Saint nodded, biting his thumb with lips red and teeth white, eyes black and gleaming, seemingly pondering something.
He kept glancing at the Jiao Long in front of him, clearly curious and moved.
On the side, Old Qin seemed to understand, as he wasnât particularly interested in the Mechanical Dragon Clan.
However, it seemed that this was even more special than Ah Sangâs Cloud Soarer.
Thus, Old Qin, being closer to Su Ping, spoke up directly:
"Su Ping..."
Before he finished, Su Ping smiled slightly:
"If the two seniors are curious, feel free to come up as well. Iâm not very familiar with this kind of Pet Beast, and both of you have extensive knowledge, so you can provide me with some insights."
As he finished speaking, Ray Saint eagerly nodded:
"Letâs go, letâs quickly go inside and see whatâs going on."
Urged by Ray Saint, Su Ping took the lead, moving ahead first, arriving in front of the Jiao Long, with Longâer quickly coming over.
Standing before this fighter jet, one couldnât help but personally sense the sharpness and ostentatiousness of its appearance.
This was the most ostentatious fighter jet Su Ping had ever seen.
Compared to the Cloud Soarer, which apart from the paintwork, wasnât much different from normal medium and large aircraft, this exclusive fighter had a design like the head of a Giant Dragon.
Behind two large eyes was the dark gold, semi-transparent cockpit.
And beneath, the âmouthâ area covered by dark golden dragon scales had two fangs visible externally, resembling a fierce dragon ready to devour.
Simultaneously, at the top of the nose, two similarly dark golden metallic spiral steel horns spread out from the center at an oblique angle.
The wings spread out, adding a dense sense of dragon scales.
Longâer spoke from the side:
"Jiao Long has three entrances, and I just came out from the one for the passenger and rest cabin, which is the most common. Besides this, thereâs also here."
