Chapter 106: Riddle Master, Die! Xiao Qing's Breakthrough
Chapter 106: Riddle Master, Die! Xiao Qing's Breakthrough
"This time, follow closely and learn from each other. It will greatly benefit your future endeavors!"
In the office of Vice President Liu of the Beastmaster Association, he addressed several Beastmasters standing before him, "Yes!"
Standing in front of Vice President Liu were a group of young Beastmasters, mostly under thirty years old. They were newly promoted intermediate Beastmasters sent by Jianghai Province to exchange and learn in the neighboring Huaiyang Province.
After sending them off, only two people remained in the office.
These two individuals were none other than the two intermediate Beastmasters specializing in Forest Wolves from the Jianghai Province Beastmaster Association.
One was undoubtedly Sun Chao Ju, whom Su Ping was very familiar with, and the other was another Forest Wolf specialist from Linzhou City.
Vice President Liu glanced at them, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and smiled, "Alright, what's there to be gloomy about? Legion tasks are not easy to come by. Now you finally understand that there are always greater talents out there, right?"
Sun Chao Ju and the other Forest Wolf specialist exchanged helpless glances.
Sun Chao Ju, feeling closer to Vice President Liu, turned to him with a sigh, "Teacher, if it were a proper competition, it would be fine. I had just made contact with the vice commander, but the next day, I was replaced. He didn't give any explanation. The same happened with Old Wang and the instructor of the Forest Wolf Battalion. They had just set an initial intention, but then the contract was declared void. Do you know what's going on?"
Vice President Liu took another sip of tea and looked at them helplessly, "The Legion is making big moves. This is just an appetizer, an internal change. However, your abilities are indeed not enough to get involved in this mess."
Sun Chao Ju and the other Beastmaster exchanged glances, realizing that their teacher indeed knew something.
Vice President Liu was a good man, except for one thing—he loved keeping secrets.
The more anxious the two in front of him were, the more he calmly sipped his tea before continuing, "The higher-ups are dissatisfied with the Beastmaster Legion's breeding department for only taking resources without doing their job. Therefore, the Legion plans to outsource elite breeding.
Aside from you two, who specialize in Forest Wolf breeding in Linzhou, there's only Su Ping's boy. But that kid is solely focused on the evolution of the Thousand Trees Wolf. I doubt he's in the mood to deal with this matter.
However, you should know that this is a revolution for the entire Linye Ground Force!"
Vice President Liu's expression turned serious, "The race limit for Forest Wolves is the Elite Rank Peak. Even with the consumption of advanced resources, breaking through the race limit doesn't offer much help!
However, this time, the Legion's internal competition has an upper limit of the Overlord Rank! So, you should understand what this means!"
The two Beastmasters were momentarily stunned before realizing the implication, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They now understood what this meant.
The breeding limit for the Legion's competition was the Overlord Rank, but the race potential of Forest Wolves was only up to the Elite Rank. There was only one solution—evolutionary breeding.
However, evolutionary breeding was not an easy task.
They were aware of the two well-known evolution methods for Forest Wolves—the Forest Wolf and the Spirit Wolf. But even these methods didn't have a high success rate.
Most importantly, could these two most common and widely known evolved forms of Forest Wolves meet the requirements of the Forest Wolf Battalion within the Legion? The answer was clearly no.
So, why did the Forest Wolf Battalion change their mind after initially reaching out to them? The reason was simple—they had found a stronger Forest Wolf breeder.
A breeder capable of evolving Forest Wolves could secure a spot in the upcoming internal Legion competition.
This breeder had confidently challenged the mysterious Forest Wolf breeder.
Was the commander of the Forest Wolf Battalion unable to discern who was more powerful?
Obviously, no one was a fool.
This was an impossible situation.
After being dealt a blow by their teacher, Sun Chao Ju and the Beastmaster Wang, who stood beside him, had an even more curious question. They both turned to Liu Fu Hai, "Teacher, do you know who this advanced Forest Wolf breeder is? Is he from our Jianghai Province?"
What kind of Forest Wolf breeder was it, and what breeding method could satisfy the requirements of the Forest Wolf Battalion?
They were even denied the chance to continue negotiating, and a choice was made.
As Beastmasters specializing in Forest Wolves, they naturally wanted to learn a thing or two.
Even if they couldn't learn anything, broadening their horizons would still be beneficial!
Unfortunately, Vice President Liu shook his head, "Legions and local authorities cannot interfere with each other unless under special circumstances. That's the rule.
Looking at the disappointment in the eyes of his two students, Elder Liu smiled and said, "However, when the time comes for the Legion Combat Training, I will also be among the spectators. I assume the Beastmaster Corps will be invited as well, so we can see who this mysterious person is."
That was all he could do.
Sun Chao Ju and Wang Beastmaster exchanged glances, and the former sighed slightly, "Speaking of which, if Su Ping were here, with his Wooden Heart, no matter what, he would be able to collaborate on the breeding, right?"
The Wooden Heart skill was too versatile and exceptionally effective in any Forest Wolf Evolved Form breeding, it was obviously impossible to ignore!
However, Elder Liu, the Beastmaster Association's Vice President, merely shook his head.
Forget about him; these past few days when he visited Qin Erlong, that old man had been rambling non-stop.
In his words and actions, he was complaining about Su Ping.
Complaining that Su Ping didn't understand a girl's thoughts.
Complaining that Su Ping wasn't proactive enough as a guy.
Complaining that Su Ping hadn't called Xiao Xue in ages.
All sorts of nonsense, as if he was teaching Su Ping how to flirt step by step.
It was clear that Qin Erlong had probably won over that woman with such methods.
Of course, Qin Erlong did have some serious things to say.
For example, Qin Xiao Xue told him that Su Ping's family had a Secret Realm about to appear, and if Su Ping asked for help, he should keep an eye on things.
Apart from that, most of Qin Erlong's complaints were about himself.
Why did he have to come up with the Thousand Trees Wolf Evolved Form direction? It missed the opportunity for the two of them to take their relationship further.
For Qin Erlong's iron-hearted yet supportive complaints and his pure boredom, Elder Liu truly despised him from the bottom of his heart.
A Beastmaster like Su Ping, it was precisely because of this attitude of detachment, with his heart only focused on Beast breeding, that he could achieve such high cultivation and research at such a young age!
Elder Liu looked at the two in front of him, if these two had even a third of Su Ping's research spirit and effort, they wouldn't have been directly rejected without even showing their faces at the Wolf Battalion.
Damn it, they lost Elder Liu's face, and now they come to complain to him. How shameless can they be?
The more Elder Liu thought about it, the angrier he became. He waved his hand and said, "Get lost! Instead of thinking about how to improve your breeding skills, you're wasting time here."
After sending away these two unmotivated students, Elder Liu looked down at his phone, and a new message flashed on the screen.
The sender of this message surprised Elder Liu even more.
He had just been talking about the Legion Combat Training, and now, the main character of this training had sent him a message.
However, this message was strange.
Elder Liu frowned slightly as he read the message on his phone:
"Elder Liu, congratulations! You've been hiding it well! Haha!"
Congratulate for what? What did he mean by hiding it well?
So, Elder Liu thought for a moment and sent the message back:
"What's up?"
Ding dong, the reply from the other side came quickly.
But it made Elder Liu even more confused.
"Hahaha, I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell outsiders. Elder Liu, you rarely get a chance to show off, and I won't spoil your fun!"
Looking at the message from Zhao Degang, Elder Liu's confusion deepened.
What do you understand?
I don't even understand what you're talking about!
This riddle is so annoying.

However, Elder Liu didn't bother to reply. As the Beastmaster Association's Vice President, who was actually the true President, he wasn't just sitting in the office and chatting all day. He had plenty of official business to attend to.
He didn't have the time to chat with these old folks.
...
At this moment, Elder Liu didn't know that Su Ping had already completed the breeding of the Thousand Trees Wolf and had even started using it.
But it wasn't Su Ping's fault for not informing the Beastmaster Association's Vice President, who was still waiting for his help.
It was because Su Ping was too busy, just as he had said.
Once he entered this busy phase, Su Ping was indeed neglecting his sleep and meals to some extent.
Especially with the Wooden Heart, the excitement of making quick money motivated Su Ping to remove the restriction of only accepting one Wooden Heart Forest Wolf breeding request per week.
Of course, the official reason given was that the breeding technique had matured further, allowing for a significant increase in success rate and breeding speed.
So, Su Ping's days were incredibly fulfilling! Meditation, communicating with the Forest Wolves from the Legion, brewing and consuming the Wooden Heart elixir for breeding, and combat training!
Indeed, with the Mind's Eye, Su Ping could finally train the Forest Wolves without just passively releasing skills; he could now start combat training as well.
And the training method was also something Su Ping learned from Zhang Lie.
Lao Sha supervised, and the fifty Forest Wolves from his own pack were divided into two squads.
They wore red and blue badges representing their respective camps.
Then, they engaged in an ambush and annih the forest for an ambush and annihilation battle.
Of course, the annihilation battle was not a real annihilation; if they died during training without facing an enemy, it would be a great waste. As long as the vital buttons were hit, and a sound was made, they would be considered 'dead.'
If one had to put it in words, it was somewhat similar to a legion's training exercise.
Through Heart Vision, Su Ping could observe a portion of the connected Forest Wolves' combat reactions and tactics.
With further adjustments and micro-management, he could fine-tune their training.
It was a bit of a pity that they were all Forest Wolves, and the combat methods in the forest were rather monotonous, so after a few times, the effect diminished.
If he could develop different races of companion beasts and have them engage in a training exercise, Su Ping would probably have a lot of fun.
Undoubtedly, the most crucial thing needed to achieve this was money!
So, after these days, Su Ping, in addition to awakening the remaining twenty-plus Forest Wolves to the Heart of Wood, he had bred ten of them, leaving him with over 30 million in funds after taxes and expenses.
Then, he spent a large portion of this 30 million.
With a contract, this 30 million secured the use and development of a large piece of land and a barren mountain south of the Spirit Stream River for the next hundred years, all under the responsibility of Su Ping and his Heart of Wood breeding base.
As for the remaining funds, Su Ping did not let them sit idle.
Although he still needed more money to complete his blueprint and renovation plans, he could start planning.
After all, with the Heart of Wood's growing reputation and high breeding success rate, his business was booming, and his wealth was increasing day by day.
However, it was evident that Su Ping had overlooked one thing.
After finishing training with Xiao Qing, he returned to the reception and residential experiment zone from the forest and grassland behind.
There, he saw Old Guan, looking resentful and having lost a significant amount of weight over the past few days.
"Uncle Guan, when is your daughter coming to breed companion beasts?" Su Ping asked, "With so many Forest Wolves now, I can breed one for her."
Indeed, when he mentioned this, Old Guan sighed and said helplessly, "Xiao Ping, let's not talk about other things. The business is getting better and better, and we need to hire some reception staff. I'm really swamped!"
Su Ping nodded in agreement, and then suddenly had an idea, "Right, what does your sister plan to do in the future? How about this, let her come and help me, and I'll pay her salary as usual. I don't trust anyone else for this."
Speaking of which, he had called Li Shu to ask about it, but he kept saying he was busy with important matters, and Su Ping didn't bother to pursue it.
So, Su Ping didn't bother to manage it.
"This..."
Guan Qianshan hesitated.
But Su Ping, holding Xiao Qing, said, "Alright, Uncle Guan, I have important matters to attend to. Leave this to you. If your sister doesn't know what to do in the future, have her come to us!"
Watching Su Ping rush into the medical room, Guan Qianshan shook his head helplessly.
However, Su Ping was not lying to Old Guan.
He indeed had important matters to attend to.
After meditating for a few days, Xiao Qing's stability made him eager to try.
This little fellow wanted to attempt an Elite Rank breakthrough by consuming Devil Willow Leaves.
