Chapter 124: Is this Evolutionary Form so Powerful?
Chapter 124: Is this Evolutionary Form so Powerful?
Battle Wolf C Division Command Center.
Inside Lin Lei's office.
Lin Lei, the division commander, sat behind his desk, listening to the report from one of his subordinate battalion commanders about the progress and achievements over the past month.
"Sir, the evolution of the Sandstorm Wind Wolf has been completed, but..."
"But what?" Lin Lei glanced at him.
In a sense, the Battle Wolf C Division had several bottom-ranked battalions.
The Timber Wolf, Sand Wolf, and Snow Wolf battalions were undoubtedly the lowest-ranked.
And the man standing before him was none other than the commander of the Sand Wolf Battalion, Wang Feng.
"Sir, there's less than half a month left before the big tournament. I can't seem to find any brother battalions for internal training and sparring. Old Yang's Snow Wolf Battalion has already started training with Instructor's Shadow Wolf Battalion. I was thinking of asking Old Zhang, but he said his Timber Wolf Battalion hasn't finished breeding yet..."
Lin Lei gave him a look.
"Indeed, they haven't finished breeding. Why don't you reach out to the other battalions or arrange some cross-training? There's still half a month left, why the rush for training and sparring? Let me tell you, if you embarrass me in front of the entire army this time, I'll make you go study sow's postpartum care!" Lin Lei threatened.
Wang Feng didn't seem to care about Lin Lei's threat and instead, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he said, "Sir, I heard that Old Zhang's Timber Wolf Battalion seems to have bred something incredible?"
Lin Lei took a sip of water, his expression unchanged.
"Where did you hear that from?"
"Is it true?" Wang Feng asked, his eyes widening.
"What does it matter if it's true or not? It's none of your business. Get out of here and start training," Lin Lei said impatiently.
Wang Feng was taken aback by Lin Lei's anger but didn't dare to argue. As he reached the door, Lin Lei's voice boomed from behind him.
"I don't care where you heard this, but I'm telling you, keep your mouth shut! It's fine if it spreads within our division, but if it reaches the ears of other divisions, I'll be the first to come after you!"
Wang Feng froze, then his face turned bitter, but his heart was certain:
Could it be true?!
That turtle son, Zhang Lie, must have bred something extraordinary.
For a moment, Wang Feng felt a strong urge to ask more, but he dared not continue. Just as he reached the door to leave, it was abruptly pushed open in a hurry.
"Sir! It's done, the breeding is successful..." Zhang Lie's voice trailed off.
Wang Feng's curiosity peaked as he saw Zhang Lie's expression.
"What's done, Battalion Commander Zhang?"
Wang Feng winked, but before he could say more, Lin Lei's furious voice from the office startled him.
"Don't you know to knock before entering? And you, get out of here if you have nothing else to do!"
Wang Feng regretted his missed opportunity but quickly straightened his posture.
"Yes, sir!"
Finally, once they were alone in the office, Lin Lei spoke.
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Lie's excitement returned instantly.
"Sir! Chai Xiaowei's Timber Wolf has evolved successfully! And he himself has advanced from Commander Rank 1 to Commander Rank 2!"
Lin Lei was taken aback.
"Your platoon leader?"
"Yes!"
Seeing Zhang Lie's enthusiasm, Lin Lei finally understood.
"So, you came here to..."
Zhang Lie chuckled.
"The other brats couldn't hold back either. With less than half a month to go, we can't train anything significant in our battalion. I was thinking of taking them to see and maybe train with that side. Can I?"
It was undoubtedly a great torment not to be able to personally witness the evolution of one's own pet beast.
Moreover, Zhang Lie also wanted to see for himself what his ace pet beast looked like.
Seeing Zhang Lie's eagerness, Lin Lei opened his mouth to speak, and he almost wanted to rush to General Zhao's office to report and ask if he could go and see for himself.
Of course!
A brand new evolutionary form that had never been seen before!
And it was a Monarch Rank potential race!
Who wouldn't want to see it?
Unfortunately, at his position, it was impossible to leave the legion base freely.
However, what Zhang Lie said made sense.
Breeding was one aspect, but during the tournament, it wasn't just the pet beasts that entered the arena; there were also the beastmasters. Only when the beastmasters and their pet beasts complemented each other could they achieve even greater results.
Lin Lei didn't hesitate and said, "Fine, but they can stay there. As for you, come back after you drop them off! And don't forget to write me a 10,000-word self-criticism!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, in the bright midday sun, a military vehicle sped out of the legion base.
Silence filled the vehicle.
The ten bred warriors, each excited and tense, clenched their jaws, their dark faces unable to hide their joy and anticipation.
Zhang Lie couldn't help but grin at their enthusiasm.
"Damn it, listen up! You're the elite warriors of my Timber Wolf Battalion, so don't act like country bumpkins who've never seen the world! Got it?"
"Yes, sir!"
Time passed slowly. After a hearty lunch, Su Ping, who had just finished breeding Xia Qiang and Lao Sha, arrived at the arena with more than ten elite Timber Wolves.
After merging with Cloud Heaven Resort, Su Ping could finally conduct pet beast battles without worry.
With a dedicated arena, they could freely use their skills and unleash their power.
There was no longer any concern about damaging the ecological environment of the Forest Wolf Woods.
In the open-air arena, bathed in sunlight, Lao Sha and Xia Qiang enjoyed the warmth, squinting their eyes in pleasure.
Su Ping spoke up, "Alright, Xia Qiang!"
"Woof! (Yes, sir!)"
The Lin Wolves within the legion responded swiftly to the roll call, which pleased Su Ping greatly.
"Next, I want to test your combat power!"
"Woof! (Yes, sir!)"
At this moment, Xia Qiang was already in the form of the Thousand Wood Wolf.
The green horns atop its head swayed slightly as it listened for Su Ping's further instructions.
"Your first challenge is to face over ten Elite Lynx Wolves. But you don't need to defeat them. If you can't take them down quickly, then my evolution will be considered a failure.
Your task is to control them for ten seconds, then release them. Once they attack you again, observe if you can exhaust them to the point of complete loss of combat ability!"
This was a rather unique battle method.
However, it was a very useful training method, allowing for the maximum observation of Xia Qiang's sustained combat power and, more importantly, the training of his brainpower.
Su Ping turned his attention to the summoned wolf pack:
"As for you, you must fight with all your might and kill it, understand?"
"Woof!"
"Alright, begin!"
Both sides stepped into the arena.
Meanwhile, a military vehicle had already parked outside the Heart of Wood.
Lao Guan, seeing Zhang Lie's arrival, smiled and said, "Xiao Ping is training the evolved Timber Wolves in the arena. Zhang, follow me."
Zhang Lie nodded, and behind him, ten legion warriors were focused. One of them was particularly excited, and even after boarding the sightseeing vehicle with Lao Guan, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
This was Chai Xiaowei, Xia Qiang's current Beastmaster.
He had felt the changes in Xia Qiang through their soul contract and had even witnessed a small boost in his level!
Zhang Lie looked at him and smiled, "I've seen this Thousand Wood Wolf before, and I have some understanding of its abilities. The Thousand Wood Wolf's capabilities lean more towards controlling the battlefield and creating the forest terrain that Timber Wolves excel in. It might not be as strong in individual combat, but it's more powerful when combined with others."
Indeed, he had witnessed it firsthand, as he was the first to see Lao Sha's evolution.
As they stepped off the vehicle and followed Lao Guan, they entered the arena rented by Su Ping.
The arena was unusually quiet, even though it was outdoors with an open roof. A circular wall surrounded the perimeter.
However, as soon as they entered, a series of whistling sounds filled the air.
Zhang Lie immediately spotted Su Ping standing before the fence.
But at that moment, his gaze slowly shifted to the arena.
In the vast arena of thousands of square meters, which was once spacious, was now densely packed:
Trees!
Nothing but trees, roots, and leaves!
If not for the surrounding walls and fences, Zhang Lie would have thought this place was a small grove.
But clearly, it wasn't. Even a normal forest wouldn't be this densely overgrown.
The trees were piled and pressed together, resembling overgrown weeds in a flower pot, magnified a thousand times.
The next moment, he saw a figure strolling leisurely above the forest in the arena.
It wore branches that slowly flowed down from its body, like a strange old wolf in a raincoat.
But the bright green Y-shaped horns atop its head resembled those of the legendary auspicious beast, the Qilin.
At this moment, everyone realized that the strange Timber Wolf on the stage, resembling a Qilin, was the Thousand Wood Wolf!
It was the very same beast they had sensed through the soul connection in the contract.
Beside him, Chai Xiaowei's eyes widened with excitement, and he clenched his fists in anticipation. However, he remembered the captain's warning and refrained from making any excessive movements, expressing his excitement only through his eager gaze at the scene on the stage.
However, soon enough, everyone's calmness vanished. They now noticed that within the tangled branches and stretching tree limbs like an ink-green python, there were also figures leaping and jumping around.
These figures were all too familiar.
They were ordinary Timber Wolves.
There were over ten of them!
All of them were Elite-ranked Timber Wolves.
Yet, these Timber Wolves rushed forward, one after another, attacking Xia Qiang on the stage.
But the small grove before them seemed like an insurmountable barrier.
The tree branches moved faster than their actions, and with the slightest movement, they would be bound and restrained for ten seconds.
It was like a cat toying with mice, endlessly enjoying the sight of these struggling little fellows attempting to challenge the Tree Wolf King in the forest!
Even with the difference between Overlord and Elite ranks, was the gap not too wide?
At this moment, they finally understood the true charm and power of this evolved Timber Wolf.
Instantly, the nearby warriors looked at their captain with admiration. No wonder!
No wonder their captain had been so confident and willing to pay such a high price for their evolution!
Such a powerful evolved form was indeed worthy of the captain's attention.
However, a single evolved form wasn't that strong in individual combat?
What would it take to be considered strong?
Just then, Zhang Lie, who had been quiet, couldn't hold back any longer as he watched the leisurely Thousand Wood Wolf and the captured Elite Timber Wolves.
"Damn... Is this evolved form that fierce?!"

I'm not feeling well these past few days, so I'll adjust and continue with 8,000 words.
