Chapter 126: Heading to the Legion! Who is the Breeder of the Forest Wolves?

[Blinding Technique (Beginner): Harnessing the sun's light, a blinding radiance that greatly affects an enemy's vision! It is a skill that initially utilizes the power of the sun.]



This is the skill description of the Blinding Technique.

It seems simple.

The effect is also quite ordinary.

After Su Ping's testing, this Blinding Technique causes the Thousand Wood Wolf to emit a dazzling light that is even more blinding than staring directly at the sun. When the enemy looks directly at it, they will be temporarily blinded.

However, this type of skill has significant limitations.

First, it is useless against plant-type creatures.

The enemy might even be delighted and fight with more vigor.

Second, for elemental and necrotic creatures, Su Ping is unsure of the effect, but for origami creatures, there is not much impact either.

At most, due to attribute suppression, the origami creature might feel some aversion, but it will not cause any substantial damage.

Lastly, if the enemy takes precautions and closes their eyes or turns away, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Of course, if the enemy closes their eyes or turns away, the effect and purpose of the Blinding Technique may still be achieved.

However, Su Ping does not neglect this at all.

His breeder's intuition tells him that this difficult-to-awaken skill of the Thousand Wood Wolf race is likely to be highly interconnected and of great significance.

As Su Ping looks at the Thousand Wood Wolf's profile once again, a profile he has viewed countless times:

[Thousand Wood Wolf Evolution Form: The Forest Wolf's further evolved form based on the Wood element, with initial control over sunlight's power and advanced natural plant power. It has high growth potential and future development, making it the top choice for Forest Wolf evolution.]



In the Spirit Beast Encyclopedia, it specifically mentions initial control over sunlight's power!

Su Ping's intuition tells him that compared to previous skills like Tree Prison and Life Field, and even the mutated Wood Body, this Blinding Technique's significance is likely greater.

The other skills increase the Thousand Wood Wolf's combat capabilities.

However, the significance of the Blinding Technique skill itself is likely connected to the Thousand Wood Wolf's evolution!

Is the path of further evolution also related to sunlight?

Su Ping keeps this question in mind, as now is not the time to research and consider these matters.

The upcoming time is too tight.

There are less than ten days left until the Legion Competition.

And Dazhuang is still in the process of accumulating energy.

It's not that Su Ping's time calculation is wrong; it's just that these two months have been truly challenging in terms of sunlight availability.

Despite being in the season of autumn, the sunlight is less abundant than before, making the accumulation of sunlight power scarce and slowing down the Forest Wolf's evolution.

This is also a learning experience for Su Ping, making him realize how significant sunlight is for the Thousand Wood Wolf's evolution.

Fortunately, with some risk, after two days, Su Ping fed Dazhuang the prepared Elf Tree Leaves and a Golden Oak Fruit.

Dazhuang's evolution finally proceeded smoothly.

Within fifty days, all ten Forest Wolves in the Legion completed their evolution from Forest Wolves to Thousand Wood Wolves!

None of them failed, with only slight differences in their potential.

At the same time, after completing their evolution, all Forest Wolves were equipped with the Heartwood Skill.

Even Erzhuang's Heartwood Skill level reached the same level as Old Sha, becoming the only one among the ten Thousand Wood Wolves to achieve the Master level as an evolved form.

Erzhuang's Heartwood Skill level matched his Sunlight Absorption and Photosynthesis levels.

And Su Ping's prediction was indeed correct!

The three skill levels formed a perfect combination, like a well-connected water pipe, allowing sunlight to continuously transform into power, making Erzhuang's skills highly efficient.

However, even with the same Master level for the three skills, the effect was only slightly better than before.

He wanted to see a more significant qualitative change, but it did not happen.

This made Su Ping doubt his formulas and predictions, but it was clear that this was not something to worry about at the moment.

Su Ping would not become idle just because the Forest Wolves' evolution was complete.

Instead, he became even busier in the following days.

He even had to postpone some scheduled and booked Heartwood Skill training sessions for customers.

The Thousand Wood Wolves still had one final step, ensuring seven days of activity, and Su Ping must ensure this last step is flawless.

Undoubtedly, the Beastmaster Legion Competition is more important than earning a small amount of money at this moment.

As the time draws near, Su Ping's focus intensifies on this matter.

Especially in these last two days, with Zhang Lie's continuous phone calls! Finally, there are only two days left of the two-month period.

"Mission accomplished!"

Looking at the arriving Zhang Lie, Su Ping smiled tiredly.

Zhang Lie gazed at the ten Forest Wolves in the forest.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Leader Ninth Rank, Leader Seventh Rank, three Leader Sixth Ranks, Leader Fifth Rank, and three Leader Fourth Ranks! These were the ten figures before him.

These ten figures stood behind Su Ping, as if standing in an endless wilderness forest, their presence exuding an aura of endless danger.

No!

These are the Thousand Wood Wolves!

Because beside these ten Forest Wolves, their Beastmasters also stand with them.

After these days of training, neither he nor they have been idle.

But all of this is worth it.

Zhang Lie said nothing, raising no questions, and bowed respectfully to Su Ping, who was the same age as him.

"Breeder Su, the legion competition starts tomorrow. Director Zhao and Commander Lin have invited you to watch. Will you accept?"

As expected, Su Ping nodded.

"How many days will the competition last?"

"It officially begins the day after tomorrow, but tomorrow we need to return to the base for preparations. The competition will last for two days!"

"Alright! I'll prepare tonight and leave with you guys tomorrow."

Finally, he's going to the legion base!

Su Ping's heart was filled with excitement.

It's not a place that ordinary people can visit!

Influenced by his father, Su Ping had always admired and been curious about the Beastmaster Legion.

And tomorrow, he was finally going to set off. How could he not be excited?

During dinner, he informed Old Guan, who nodded and advised Su Ping to be careful outside, assuring him that he would take care of matters at home.

After the incident where Su Ping fell into the water, Old Guan never mentioned the idea of having him cultivate the Heart of Wood for Guan Lili again.

Furthermore, Old Guan didn't even ask for any compensation for the family involved in the drowning incident.

Su Ping understood that Old Guan didn't want to cause any trouble for him.

The couple's humility was due to Dong Muchun.

However, Su Ping didn't know much about the relationship between Dong Muchun, the former chairman, and himself.

If he accepted their favor, it might lead to complications later on.

Old Guan, who had diligently served for so many years, naturally didn't want his greed to cause any hidden troubles or concerns for Su Ping and the Heart of Wood.

Su Ping was well aware of all this and understood Old Guan's intentions.

However, he didn't say anything more.

After the legion competition was over, it wouldn't be too late to discuss it.

By then, he could also give this diligent manager a reassurance and a big gift.

As night fell, Su Ping returned to his room and lay on his bed. Before he could enter a meditative state, the phone rang again.

Su Ping initially thought it was Qin Xiaoxue, as she had been calling quite frequently lately. However, upon checking, he was surprised to see that it was his father, whom he hadn't heard from since that time.

"Hello?"

"Son, have you missed me?"

"Just get to the point."

"Tsk, aren't you thinking about the upcoming legion competition in Jianghai Province? Are you done with your preparations? I've been boasting about you, so do you have confidence?"

As expected, his father, who had discussed this matter with Zhang Lie previously, naturally remembered it.

Su Ping snorted:

"Piece of cake!"

In front of Su Anyong, Su Ping's confidence was evident!

"That's right. I've seen Old Sha's abilities, and if it weren't for bad luck, or unfair rules or terrain, there's no doubt about a top five finish!"

This time, Su Anyong didn't argue.

However, Su Ping snorted again:

"Top five? Who do you think you're talking to? First place! It must be first place!"

"You little rascal, don't be too arrogant. The connections within the Beastmaster Legion are not as simple as you think. You're only cultivating one type, but I estimate that there will be some elite breeding for different types of battle groups.

In a five-person combat group, there will be complementary groups of the same species but with different evolved forms. Although the Thousand Wood Wolf has versatile abilities, it still has obvious weaknesses!"

Indeed, Su Anyong's words were accurate.

The Thousand Wood Wolf, aside from other things, still has a significant weakness similar to other Wood-type companion beasts.

Weakness to Fire-type companion beasts.

But Su Ping didn't mind. With a quick turn of his eyes, he asked:

"Dad, you just mentioned the competition rules. Generally, what are the rules like in the legion competitions? Give me a detailed explanation."

Su Anyong smacked his lips:

"There are many, and the most retro and widely used is the one-on-one battle. It's a draw-based tournament, but a few years ago, this competition system was slightly improved.

They added the ability to choose terrain and no longer relied on draws, instead using a challenge point system.

However, this format was criticized for lacking real-world combat and being too performance-oriented, unable to showcase the full combat capabilities of beastmasters and companion beasts in adapting to random situations in the wild. They only knew how to fight in the arena.

Read the flawless version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar first release of this novel.

So, in recent years, most competitions have been large-scale escape-style battles on vast maps. They throw everyone into a realm, and whoever emerges victorious is the best.

However, this format also emphasizes luck and randomness too much. In summary, that's how it is. I estimate that this time's legion competition will also be an escape-style battle.

After all, this format is the most realistic in terms of the wild..."

At this point, Su Anyong suddenly paused, as if his mother had grabbed his throat mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something.

As expected, Su Ping's voice finally echoed:

"Su Anyong, you're quite knowledgeable."

Su Anyong chuckled:

"Hey, didn't I tell you? I spent a few years in the Beastmaster Legion, so I know the competition rules."

"Oh, so you learned about the competition rules during those years of loafing around?"

Su Ping didn't believe him.

Su Anyong continued:

"Can't I have comrades? You little brat, what do you know about the depth of camaraderie?"

"Such deep camaraderie, and yet in all these years, I haven't seen anyone looking for you, their old comrade, to catch up."

Su Anyong immediately replied:

"Alright, your mother just woke up, so I'll stop here. Also, if you can truly make the Thousand Wood Wolf come out on top in this legion competition, I'll bring your mother and a gift for you when I come!"

"Hello? What gift..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

Hearing the phone hang up, Su Ping thought to himself, this old guy is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, there's a high possibility that he's either a member of the Beastmaster Legion or some sort of official.

Of course, it's also possible that he used to be one and is now in a different situation, but Su Ping didn't bother to think too much about it.

He was too lazy to think about it, and this old guy would eventually tell him everything.

He began to meditate.

With cultivation complete, he needed to focus on meditation to make up for the progress he had missed during this period.

After all, Qin Xiaoxue had mentioned the professional beastmaster assessment next year, which was still on his mind.

Overnight, the time passed slowly.

In the early morning, at the Beastmaster Legion Base located over a hundred kilometers away.

At the core of the base, the Eastern Forest Plain Army Command Center.

A special aircraft arrived, and two figures descended from the sky.

Zhao Shouzhang, dressed in military attire, stood there with a beaming smile, accompanied by several other leaders who also smiled warmly at the visitors.

"President Qin, President Liu, your presence to guide the Legion is greatly appreciated. We should have welcomed you earlier, we should have welcomed you earlier!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the two figures, Zhao Shouzhang's face was filled with laughter.

The two figures who had arrived were none other than Qin Erlong and Liu Fu Hai.

Although the local area and the Legion were not under the same jurisdiction, they would usually communicate on matters, and this tournament was undoubtedly one of those occasions.

Most importantly, one of them was the spouse of a renowned representative from Mogu Academy, and the other was also a steadfast supporter of the Beastmaster Association's reform, and he and Old Zhao were undoubtedly comrades from the same camp.

This time, the Legion had begun preliminary reforms, and since it involved the elite's training, it was natural to invite these two to come and observe.

"Hahaha, we're just here to join in the fun. It seems like Old Zhao, your move this time is not small. It looks like that person is finally freeing up their hands to start a cleanup?"

Qin Erlong's words were not spoken with any intention of lowering his voice, and he even raised his voice slightly, smiling as he glanced at the other leaders who had arrived.

Zhao Shouzhang naturally understood his meaning, and in his heart, he also felt that having a good wife was truly without any worries. These words were spoken without any hesitation.

Liu Fu Hai, standing beside him, also chimed in:

"Hehe, after the reforms of the Beastmaster Association and the Beastmaster Association are completed, the next step is the issue of the Legion and education. Old Zhao, you're the one who fired the first shot!"

"Alright, let's not stand here in the wind. Let's go inside."

Some of Qin Erlong's words were spoken without any reservations, and Liu Fu Hai was also not afraid of anything.

However, in this massive military camp, occupying the most important military base in the east, there were some words that Zhao Shouzhang obviously couldn't say.

The rest of the leaders, those who were from the same camp and had a good relationship, greeted Qin Erlong and Liu Fu Hai, while the others directly left.

The two of them didn't mind.

Among these people, some were from influential families, and some were those who would lose out in this internal reform.

However, in the end, they were all just like a mantis trying to block a carriage.

The smooth conduct of this outsourced elite tournament is proof!

Back in the command center's office, Zhao Shouzhang poured a cup of tea for the two of them and then smiled:

"The tournament will officially start tomorrow. I'm sorry to have troubled you two to stay here overnight."

Qin Erlong laughed and said directly:

"Stop the nonsense. Isn't it just that you want me and Old Liu to give a little shock to those uncooperative fellows in the Legion?"

Vice President Liu waved his hand:

"Don't drag me into this. I'm just here to watch the show. If you want to fight, you guys go ahead."

Vice President Liu then asked:

"Old Zhao, I have a question for you."

Zhao Shouzhang nodded. Although Vice President Liu's rank was only at the Elite Peak, and his beastmaster abilities were indeed inferior, but he couldn't resist the influence of the beastmaster.

Old Liu was indeed at the Elite Peak, but his connections were top-notch!

Wolf companions were one of the most common beast companions. As a renowned wolf companion breeder in Dragon Country, Old Liu had met countless such experts.

Beastmasters, especially renowned ones, were terrifying in this regard.

Therefore, Zhao Shouzhang dared not be negligent towards Old Liu.

"Go ahead!"

"Will the external beastmasters who outsourced the tournament also come to observe?" Liu Fu Hai asked, blinking.

Zhao Shouzhang nodded:

"Of course. After all, this is the work of various beastmasters, and the Legion has provided a lot of resources. We must let them see the Legion's sincerity and our capabilities!"

Liu Fu Hai didn't care about sincerity or anything, and he quickly asked:

"I've heard about the beastmasters of the Snow Wolf, Sand Wolf, Hunting Wolf, and Shadow Wolf. I know that the Sand Wolf is supervised by our own Yang He from Jianghai Province and partially by me. The Snow Wolf is said to be a senior beastmaster from Beiyuan Province? As for the Hunting Wolf and Shadow Wolf, I've also heard some things, but what's the situation with the Forest Wolf?"

Liu Fu Hai had not specifically inquired about this, but with such a significant event happening in the Legion, beastmasters from several eastern provinces and cities had already caught wind of it.

However, regarding the Forest Wolf, from top to bottom, not a single piece of news had emerged.

Liu Fu Hai was also puzzled. Usually, such beastmasters were at least intermediate-level, and even senior-level beastmasters wouldn't be surprising.

In the entire Dragon Country, the most skilled Forest Wolf beastmasters were probably only in Jianghai Province and its surrounding areas, right?

Unexpectedly, there was no news about them at all.

Zhao Shouzhang also paused slightly, looking at Old Liu in front of him, and he finally realized what was going on:

"You don't know?"

"What am I supposed to know?"

Old Liu's expression didn't seem fake.

He had indeed been busy during this time, helping Yang He with the Sand Wolf's breeding, accompanying the exchange beastmasters from Huaiyang Province, and organizing the materials for the upcoming Beastmaster Tournament this year, etc.

With the Beastmaster Association's president absent, all the work fell on him, and he was indeed very busy.

Zhao Shouzhang scratched his head, and he finally realized why Old Liu had said those words earlier:

"The beastmaster for the Forest Wolf Regiment is actually from your Jianghai Province, and it seems like they're from your Linzhou City."

"Ah?"

Liu Fu Hai raised his eyebrows.

Beside them, Qin Erlong seemed to have guessed something, and his heart stirred.

Old Zhao didn't want to waste too much time with Old Liu, as he had only glanced at the document earlier. Now, if he were asked to recall one of the dozens of names on the list, it would indeed be difficult. So, he directly said:

"How about this, later this morning, beastmasters from various places will be leading their bred companions back to the Legion base. At that time, you can go and see for yourself."

Liu Fu Hai frowned but didn't refuse, nodding his head.

However, it was clear that Old Liu didn't notice the seemingly knowing smirk on Qin Erlong's face.

At the same time, in the suburbs of Linzhou City, Su Ping had already boarded the vehicle with Zhang Lie and the others, excitedly heading towards the Legion base.
