Chapter 127: The Thousand Wood Wolf? Already Completed?

Chapter 127: The Thousand Wood Wolf? Already Completed?

Previously, when Zhang Lie mentioned it, Su Ping had already prepared himself.

However, after seeing the military base hidden deep in the mountains with his own eyes, Su Ping was still a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn't because of the actual size of the military base before him.

But because it was too small!

Although he had expected it to some extent, after all, establishing a military base in such a remote and dense forest was extremely challenging, and the location of the base was relatively confidential.

Naturally, they couldn't make too much noise, but wasn't this place a bit too small?

What appeared before Su Ping was an area no bigger than a small village, at least from the entrance he had come through.

This was the base for two armies!

One from the Eastern Forest Army and one from the Eastern Mountain Army!

The naval base of the Beastmaster Legion was on West Dragon Lake, but the bases of these two armies seemed a bit too small.

Over ten thousand Beastmaster soldiers were crammed into such a tiny space?

Anyone would find it hard to believe.

Su Ping looked out the window with a puzzled expression, then at the smiling Zhang Lie:

"Zhang Tuan, is this..."

Was this the long-awaited military camp?

Su Ping was taken aback and felt a bit disappointed.

However, Zhang Lie's face was filled with laughter:

"What's wrong? Does it seem too small to you, Cultivator Su?"

Su Ping nodded.

It wasn't just small; it was tiny!

After entering through the gate of this 'town,' Su Ping didn't see many soldiers, although there were some with a distinct military air about them. But in this town, Su Ping didn't see any command center; instead, he saw convenience stores and small restaurants.

And some places selling daily necessities.

There were even two shops without signboards, where several Beastmasters were looking around and sneaking in.

Was this a military camp?

A legion camp?

Su Ping felt like the image of the Beastmaster Legion in his mind had suddenly crumbled.

Seeing Su Ping's obvious misunderstanding, Zhang Lie finally explained:

"Strictly speaking, this is just the outer area of the legion. Most of the people here are either family members of the legion or retired legion members. As for that..."

Zhang Lie pointed at the shop without a signboard where the Beastmasters had sneaked in, and said with a smile:

"It's a pet shop specializing in catnip, and its main customers are those bastards from the Tiger Division. They sneak out during the legion's tournaments when security is more relaxed to buy catnip. If it weren't for bringing Cultivator Su along, we'd catch a few of them and hand them over to the inspection team."

"..."

Zhang Lie's words made Su Ping look at the shop on the other side with surprise, still trying to process the information. But his doubts remained, not diminishing in the slightest.

The outer area? But the problem was, where was the inner area in this small town that could be seen at a glance?

This doubt was soon resolved.

As they reached the back of the town, leaning against a large mountain, Su Ping witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life!

In front of the massive mountain,

there were over twenty spatial vortices floating in the air!

Compared to the so-called Fengdu Sword King's inheritance secret realm's spatial vortex that had appeared in his backyard.

Each of the twenty-plus spatial vortices was enormous, each measuring several dozen meters in size.

Among them, there were even two particularly massive ones.

The entire mountain was covered by these spatial vortices.

"This is..."

Zhang Lie was pleased with Su Ping's astonishment and chuckled:

"This military region is a combined army group consisting of two large land forces, and it's also one of the most important military bases in the east. The actual location is top-secret, so stable spatial vortices are used for connection and transportation."

As he spoke, the vehicle he was driving didn't even slow down; it headed straight for a spatial vortex.

Moreover, on that spatial vortex, there were several faintly visible characters:

Eastern - Forest Army - A Division, B Division Entrance.

It was clear that these spatial vortices were the entrances to the various legions within, connecting to the legion bases organized by division.

Su Ping let out a long breath. What a grand plan!

Using stable spatial vortices for connection?

Before he could think further, Zhang Lie extended his wrist, and an electronic mechanical sound rang out again:

"Identity confirmed, Wolf Fang A Division, Forest Wolf Battalion Commander Zhang Lie, granted entry."

Without even stopping the vehicle, they entered the spinning spatial gate.

Unlike the previous dizzying sensation when entering the Sword King's secret realm, this time, it felt like crossing a mere layer of water, so comfortable that even the prepared Su Ping was caught off guard.

The next moment, everything became clear.

An endless sky, training grounds enclosed by high walls, and wide roads that stretched in all directions without an end in sight.

The vast complex of buildings stretched as far as the eye could see, nestled within the deep mountains at the horizon's edge.

Standing guard at the watchtowers and walls were the Beastmaster Warriors.

The scene before him finally matched Su Ping's expectations of a legion camp.

As Su Ping marveled at the sight, Zhang Lie's phone call had already been made:

"Chief, yes! Su Cultivator has arrived and is about to reach the entrance of your Command Center!"

"Good!"

In the Wolf Fang A Division Command Center, Lin Lei, in his office, stood up, hung up the phone, glanced at the few people beside him, and smiled slightly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the last cultivator of my division has arrived, and he is a rather special one. I'll go out to welcome him, and you all can do as you please."

Hmm?

With these words, several figures in the room looked at Lin Division Commander in surprise.

Who was this person that made Lin Division Commander show such importance?

It was worth noting that there were even Senior Cultivators present, especially the Snow Wolf Cultivator from Beiyuan Province, and a woman in black standing beside him, who was also a formidable figure in Beiyuan Province.

However, even so, when this person arrived yesterday, Lin Division Commander did not show such a warm welcome, although it was because he was busy with official duties. Still, it was evident that this late-arriving cultivator held a special place in Lin Division Commander's heart.

In the Wolf Fang Division, had six Wolf Battalions.

The Forest Wolf, Hunter Wolf, Shadow Wolf, Snow Wolf, Desert Wolf, and Flame Wolf.

These six types of wolf pets shared a common trait: their racial potential was typically at the Elite Apex.

This was the Legion's assessment of the most suitable foundation pets for battalion-level units.

Of course, the Wolf Fang Division wasn't limited to these. There were also several elite companies, such as the Thunder Wolf Company and the Moon Wolf Company, which were directly under the division's command and not included in the battalion-level calculations.

At this very moment, the cultivators of the other five Wolf Battalions were present.

One of them thought for a moment and said:

"This last arrival must be the Forest Wolf Battalion under Lin Division Commander, right? As the birthplace of the Forest Wolf, I wonder if the cultivator who came this time is from Jianghai Province?"

As he spoke, he glanced at a figure beside him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Yang He's face changed slightly.

This person was the one who had been introduced to Su Ping by Sun Zhaoju when he attended the Cultivator Association classes.

A specialized cultivator of the Desert Wolf, he had mastered not just one but several skill cultivation techniques, even mastering multiple evolution methods for the Desert Wolf, making him one of the top Intermediate Cultivators in Jianghai Province.

Additionally, he was not only proficient with the Desert Wolf but also with several types of plant-based pets, such as the Huayang class. Compared to Sun Zhaoju, this person was truly Liu Vice President's most cherished disciple.

Otherwise, Yang He would not have been able to take on the task of cultivating the Desert Wolf Battalion, and even Liu Fuhai personally oversaw the evolution of the highly capable Sandstorm Wind Wolf.

However, the person who spoke at that moment seemed to have a hidden meaning in his words.

The speaker was the cultivator of the Flame Wolf Battalion, one of the only two Senior Cultivators present.

However, compared to the Snow Wolf Cultivator from Beiyuan Province who was traveling in Jianghai, this cultivator named Ding Yan had some connections with the Cultivator Association of Jianghai Province.

Ding Yan was originally a cultivator from the Jianghai Province Cultivator Association,

but due to internal strife, resource allocation, and various other reasons, Ding Yan left his hometown and went to Huaiyang Province.

Two years ago, he developed the new evolution body of the Flame Wolf, the 'Ash Wolf Lord,' and became a Senior Cultivator of the Flame Wolf.

Although, with the internal reforms of the Cultivator Association, many corrupt officials were removed, including the former president of the Cultivator Association, who remained in the capital. The Cultivator Association of Jianghai Province had undergone a significant transformation.

However, Cultivator Ding still held strong prejudices against the cultivators of Jianghai.

This was evident in his current words.

It was clear he was making fun of them; everyone knew that Jianghai Province was the birthplace of the Forest Wolf, but the specialized cultivators of the Forest Wolf were indeed not that impressive.

Over the years, aside from the Forest Wolf and the Spirit Wolf, these two old evolution bodies from a decade ago, there had been little progress.

Although this cultivator had caught Lin Division Commander's attention, it was precisely because of this that he believed the newcomer was not a Forest Wolf cultivator from Jianghai Province.

However, before Yang He could speak, Lin Lei, who had stood up, smiled and said:

"It seems Cultivator Ding was right. The specialized cultivator of the Forest Wolf who arrived this time is indeed from Jianghai Province!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan's face darkened slightly. According to the information he had gathered, there had been no significant progress in Forest Wolf cultivation in Jianghai Province over the past few years.

Meanwhile, Yang He was taken aback.

Hmm?

A cultivator of the Forest Wolf from Jianghai Province?

He blinked, having spent the past two months in Linzhou. If there was a Jianghai Cultivator, would his teacher not have mentioned it to him?

But, as far as he knew, weren't Old Sun and Old Yang both eliminated?

When his teacher brought up this matter, he scolded these two guys for several days.

Yang He knew that there was one more Intermediate Timber Wolf Cultivator in Jianghai Province, and that was Su Ping, whom he had met before.

But that's impossible.

Hadn't Su Ping just cultivated the so-called 'Heart of Wood'?

He was a very promising young Cultivator, and Yang He was also willing to befriend him. But with such a young age, he hadn't even mastered the cultivation of Forest Wolves and Spirit Wolves, right? How could he possibly come to the Beastmaster Legion to cultivate pets?

Did Jianghai have a hidden Timber Wolf Specialist Cultivator that he didn't know about? But it was quite clear that there was more to it.

After Lin Division Commander finished speaking, he didn't continue with any more nonsense. He walked straight out of the office and waited at the door of the command center.

Not long after, a car slowly approached from a distance.

Several figures leaped out of the car.

"Reporting to the commander, Su Cultivator has arrived!"

"Alright, we're heading to the military headquarters tomorrow, so you guys go back and prepare well!"

"Yes, sir!"

Lin Lei stepped past Zhang Lie and finally saw Su Ping standing there. He laughed, "Hahaha, after waiting for so long, we finally have Su Cultivator here!"

Lin Lei was a man with a less rugged appearance, but he hugged Su Ping exaggeratedly.

This made Su Ping, who was initially a bit tense, slightly startled.

Was this Lin Division Commander a bit too enthusiastic?

Indeed, he was overly enthusiastic.

Lin Lei couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

Damn, that kid's platoon leader dad had extorted a promise from him, and he didn't even dare to tell the other squad Cultivators about it.

After spending so much effort and capital, he finally got to meet this kid in person.

The last time Zhang Lie sent someone back, he praised the evolved Thousand Wood Wolf to the skies, making Lin Lei also eager to try.

Moreover, although the kid's dad was despicable, he was still family.

So, this kid was also considered half-family.

And he was such a talented Cultivator.

Who knew if he would have a chance to latch onto him in the future?

What's wrong with being enthusiastic at this moment?

"Lin Division Commander, you're too kind..."

Before Su Ping could finish his sentence, he saw Yang He standing behind Lin Lei, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

At this moment, seeing the astonishment on Su Ping's face, Yang He finally confirmed his suspicions.

Damn, the most unlikely scenario in his mind had actually happened right before his eyes.

Su Ping?!

Is it really Su Ping?

Although they had only met once, when they were in the Cultivator Association classroom, Yang He had memorized Su Ping's appearance deeply.

He couldn't help but remember it vividly.

This was a young Intermediate Cultivator.

His face seemed to clearly spell out the words 'young and promising' and 'bright future', as if afraid others wouldn't notice.

But no matter how young and promising, how bright his future, this little guy shouldn't be here, right?

Could it be that his teacher was secretly giving this kid special treatment behind his back?

Had he secretly shared the cultivation methods of the Timber Wolf's evolution from the Cultivator Association with him for free?

It was indeed possible.

Because during this time, Liu Fuhai had been talking about Su Ping.

He said Su Ping was talented and exceptionally hardworking, and his future was bright. He even mentioned that it was a pity he didn't have a granddaughter or something like that.

Although he didn't understand why Su Ping was valued by President Qin, or how he was connected to Teacher Liu without a granddaughter, he only knew that Teacher Liu truly valued him.

However, Teacher Liu also mentioned that Su Ping had been focusing on studying the evolved Thousand Wood Wolf that Sun Zhaoju had cultivated during this time, right?

How did he get involved with the Legion?

But just as this question arose in Yang He's mind, his body stiffened, and he stared incredulously at Su Ping, who was being tightly embraced by Lin Lei.

As expected, the Lin Division Commander spoke again:

"Hahaha, it's not too much! Old Zhang has praised the Thousand Wood Wolf to the skies, even saying it's the most perfect evolution of the Timber Wolf! Of course, I want to see what kind of cultivation genius he is!"

Indeed!

Yang He's pupils suddenly constricted.

Thousand Wood Wolf? Had this little guy already completed it?
