Chapter 128: Snatching Talent! Su Ping, the Coveted One

Chapter 128: Snatching Talent! Su Ping, the Coveted One

What kind of wolf is this?

The Thousand Wood Wolf?

At this moment, after Yang He's initial shock, he became surprisingly calm.

However, the other Beastmasters who had followed to see which Breeder would receive Lin Shizhang's attention were all taken aback upon hearing this name.

What kind of Evolved Form is this?

A Forest Wolf?

It was clear that this should be an entirely new and unique Evolved Form that had never been seen before.

Instantly, some people's eyes lit up as they looked at the young Breeder before them.

Hearing Lin Shizhang's words, it seemed that this young man had successfully bred this creature?

At this moment, they understood.

Ding Yan, in his forties, had become a prominent figure in Huaiyang Province after researching and developing the breeding method for the Ash Wolf Lord's Flame Wolf three years ago. Now, this young fellow had achieved such success at his age?

Who wouldn't be amazed by this?

Even Ding Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and subconsciously purse his lips.

He genuinely disliked those Beastmaster Association members from Jianghai Province.

Including Yang He,

But he wouldn't let regional discrimination affect his judgment of this outstanding young Breeder.

Instead, like the other Beastmasters, he had only one thought at this moment:

Poaching!

Such a talented Beastmaster from Jianghai Province, not to mention the indication from Lin Shizhang, Yang He, as a core member of the Beastmaster Association, should have a deeper understanding of him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unaware that he was a Forest Wolf Breeder.

Even if they knew, even if he was registered, what could they do?

With sufficient benefits, they could easily modify his registration to make him a Beastmaster from their province.

Indeed, this was their plan! After the rise of the new leader, the internal reforms within the Beastmaster and Breeder Associations in Longguo have led to resource allocation based solely on breeding performance in various regions. Every talented individual has become a coveted asset within the Beastmaster and Breeder Associations of each province.

This is because it involves the distribution of benefits.

This is the primary reason for Longguo's unprecedented national strength in recent years.

The emphasis on talent has reached an unprecedented level, no longer hindered by narrow-minded individuals or partisan control, nor are there instances of suppressing or even seizing the achievements of other Breeders, as was the case in the past.

If such incidents still occur today, it would either lead to murder or direct complaints and registered with the Breeder Associations of other provinces, which would cause significant trouble for the local organizations.

However, murder? In this modern era, it's not that easy.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps someone with connections like Dong Muchun could suppress it, but a registered Breeder?

Do they think the monitoring departments in Longguo are a joke?

Clearly, at this moment, everyone's gaze towards Su Ping was filled with a gleaming light.

Such a genius Breeder, if they could recruit him, it would be a significant achievement, and they would undoubtedly receive internal credit rewards.

However, this was not the right time to make a direct offer, as there were too many people around.

Nevertheless, Yang He, at this moment, seemed unaware of this.

Instinctively, he took out his phone and sent a text message to Liu Shuhai, who had accompanied him early in the morning:

'Teacher, big trouble! Do you know about it?'

...

In the heart of the face-saving architecture, in the highest command office of the Eastern Forest Plain Army, Liu Fuhai, who was still drinking tea and chatting with Zhao Deguang, frowned slightly.

He took out his phone and glanced at it.

Old Liu blinked.

Yang He's message.

This, he thought, was truly his first real disciple.

Old Liu valued this disciple greatly.

Therefore, upon seeing Yang He's message, Old Liu was momentarily stunned.

Big trouble?

What big trouble?

Wasn't this brat with him this morning at the military camp?

Shouldn't he be with the Wolf Warriors Division discussing the details of tomorrow's tournament?

What trouble could occur in a military camp?

Did the Eagle Kingdom launch an invasion?

Obviously, that was pure nonsense.

If there were an invasion from another country, Old Zhao would be the first to know.

So, what big trouble could occur within the Legion?

However, to be cautious, Liu Fuhai replied with a message:

'What big trouble? What do I know?'

Putting down his phone, Liu Fuhai didn't pay much attention, continuing to chat and drink tea. However, to his annoyance, after a while, this unlucky disciple didn't even reply.

It wasn't that Yang He didn't reply; it was that Su Ping, after releasing Lin Lei from his embrace, directly greeted him:

"Breeder Yang? It's really you here, too."

Hearing Su Ping's words, Yang He thought for a moment and, after shaking hands with Su Ping, muttered to himself, 'Damn, shouldn't I be the one saying this?'

Yang He was already a well-known Intermediate Breeder.

If he hadn't been working on developing new Evolved Forms of Sand Wolves and other specialized Companion Beasts, he would have been promoted to a Senior Breeder long ago.

He had also mastered the breeding and evolution methods of the Sand Wolves, a skill originally developed by his teacher, Liu Fuhai.

It was only natural and reasonable for him to be here.

But damn, where did this kid come from?

Of course, he wouldn't say this aloud, but he couldn't help but ask this pressing question:

"The Thousand Wood Wolf from last time, did you complete it?"

Although Lin Lei and the recently arrived Zhang Lie had already proven this, he still wanted confirmation from Su Ping's mouth.

Su Ping nodded.

Yang He eagerly asked,

"What grade of racial potential?"

Su Ping smiled helplessly and didn't rush to answer, which made Yang He realize his mistake.

Not only was Lin Lei standing beside him, but there were also many other Breeders present.

In fact, Su Ping didn't even want to tell Yang He.

Damn, even though they were all from Linzhou, they were competitors in this tournament!

The Legion Competition was a team-based combat,

Racial potential wasn't a big deal.

However, after asking about the race's potential, shouldn't they also inquire about the race's skills?

The key to the Thousand Wood Wolf lies in the absolute confidentiality of information.

Skills and such are unknown to the outside world!

Only under these circumstances can they catch the Beastmaster Warriors from other legions off guard to the greatest extent.

Now, if I tell this guy, what if he sells me out later?

Although there's a suspicion of judging others by oneself, it's always better to be cautious in everything.

After all, I've already boasted to my father about it.

Yang He also seemed to realize something and glanced at the person beside him. Especially after seeing the meaningful looks from several Breeders around, his eyelids twitched.

Especially the previously hostile Ding Yan towards them in Linzhou and Jianghai Province, even took the initiative to speak:

"Lin Shizhang, who is this young brother? Please introduce him to us."

Lin Lei didn't refuse, but he still chuckled:

"Let's go back to the office first."

Back in the office, Lin Lei then introduced Su Ping:

"Come, Su Ping, let me introduce you."

He pointed at Ding Yan, who had been looking at Yang He with a sour expression, but now facing Su Ping, he was all smiles:

"Su Ping, this is a senior breeder from the Huaiyang Breeder Association and also one of the council members of the association. He is the senior breeder of Flame Wolves, Ding Yan. Three years ago, he discovered and researched the evolved Flame Wolf, 'Ash Wolf Lord', which won the third place in the Breeder Tournament that year!"

Ash Wolf Lord?

A Monarch-tier evolved Flame Wolf.

However, placing third in the Breeder Tournament? Obviously, either there were some groundbreaking research discoveries among the contestants that year, or the evolution of the Ash Wolf Lord might have some shortcomings.

It could be in combat power, potential, or even the resources required for evolution are relatively high, making the breeding cost-effectiveness relatively average.

But regardless, a senior breeder is already a prominent figure.

There are over a hundred, or even several hundred, intermediate breeders in Jianghai, but there are only a handful of senior breeders.

This is the difference.

Su Ping nodded and took the initiative to extend his hand:

"Su Ping, an intermediate breeder from Jianghai."

Ding Yan hurriedly shook hands with the young breeder in front of him, smiling and saying:

"Su Breeder, you're so young and promising. We're both from the same hometown, and our situations seemed similar back then. It seems we're both not highly regarded in Jianghai, hehe."

He didn't rush to say anything, as it would be pointless now. No one is a fool; secretly discussing and promising conditions is the way to touch people's hearts.

However, just this one sentence made Yang He slightly narrow his eyes.

Damn, this guy who had a stinky face like a dog before, he's holding back something now!

And he's calling me a fellow townsman, why didn't he talk about being townsmen with me earlier?

Damn it, at this moment, Yang He finally remembered that he hadn't finished talking with his master yet.

Yang He could already see what these guys were up to.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out his phone again.

As expected, his master had already replied.

And it was clear that the master was still waiting for his response:

'Master, please come to the Wolf Warriors Division quickly, something happened!'

'What happened? Who the hell taught you to be so mysterious now?'

Yang He really wanted to say that he learned it from the master, but unfortunately, he didn't have the time to be cheeky at this moment.

Without thinking:

'Su Ping is here!'

'?'

...

On Yang He's side, the message was sent quickly, and Lin Shizhang's introduction wasn't slow either.

At this time, Lin Lei was already pointing at the next black-clothed woman:

"This is Rong Qiu, a council member of the Breeder Association in Beiyuan Province, and also a senior breeder specializing in Snow Wolves. Six years ago, she created the evolved Snow Wolf, 'Cold Water Wolf'."

A Snow Wolf, an evolved pet beast with a unique combination of water, ice, and wind, is quite interesting. Su Ping continued to extend his hand.

"Nice to meet you, little brother."

Rong Qiu smiled.

This woman, regardless of her appearance, always gave him a heart-pounding feeling, and he subconsciously didn't want to get too close to her.

Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+book_bar, the first to publish this novel.

However, this woman seemed to want to get very close to him:

"If you come to play in Beiyuan Province in the future, you can call me, little brother Su!"

Su Ping chuckled. He wasn't really interested in going there, but thinking about his father in Beihan City, which seemed to be under the jurisdiction of Beiyuan Province, he nodded.

The next two breeders, the Shadow Wolf and Hunter Wolf breeders, were also not from Jianghai Province. The Shadow Wolf breeder was from Minyue Province and was said to be a friend of the leader who was the instructor in the school.

Although he didn't have the evolved Shadow Wolf that he created, he had bred several evolved Shadow Wolves. This breeding seemed to be the same this time.

The Hunter Wolf breeder was from Anqing Province.

Su Ping remembered all their names and even exchanged contact information with Ding Yan and Rong Qiu, who were relatively more friendly towards him.

The more friends, the more paths, especially since these were not ordinary connections.

Although Su Ping wasn't thinking about contacting other Wolf pet beasts for the time being, no one could predict the future.

After the introductions, Ding Yan couldn't hold back first.

He truly looked down on Jianghai Province. The young guy in front of him was indeed impressive.

"Su Ping, the Thousand Wood Wolf that Lin Shizhang just mentioned..."

Sure enough, the topic turned to this.

Su Ping awkwardly rubbed his nose:

"It is indeed the latest evolved form that I researched, but it can't be considered solely my achievement. The initial direction discoverer was Sun Chaorju, a breeder from Linzhou."

These humble words not only didn't cause others to have any negative thoughts about him but instead made their eyes shine with admiration.

Not seeking credit, not being arrogant.

As for the one who discovered it, Sun Chaorju? They really didn't care, even Yang He didn't care.

On the entire Blue Star, many kinds of evolved forms have appeared, various wild evolved forms, and even some in the wild.

However, the ability to transform the discovered wild evolved forms into methods that can be used by Beast Tamer and Beastmaster is what is truly important.

As for the discoverer? It's just that.

Otherwise, why would Su Ping be the one to come for this Legion Competition, and not Sunchaorju?

Sunchaorju himself spent a few years but didn't achieve much.

That in itself already indicates the problem.

"That Forestwolf, what is its racial potential grade?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Su Ping didn't refuse to answer: "Sovereign level. However, what specific skills it has, I'll leave that as a suspense. You'll all know tomorrow during the competition, won't you?"

Everyone nodded and didn't continue asking. They knew that if they continued, Su Ping wouldn't say anything more.

But that was already enough.

Sovereign level, which means this is the higher-evolved form of the Forest Wolf.

This is enough to prove that the evolved form has been successful.

And it's not the type of evolved form that requires a lot of evolution difficulty; otherwise, the army wouldn't have let Su Ping cultivate the Forest Wolf Regiment.

Finally, Ding Yan couldn't hold back. He truly looked down on Jianghai Province, and now, with such a good Beast Tamer appearing in Jianghai, it was truly a pity for him to stay.

Despite only meeting for a short time, Ding Yan directly spoke up: "Little Su, do you mind having a private chat?"

Su Ping was slightly stunned, but Lin Lei, who was standing beside him, didn't show any surprise.

Although the Legion and local areas have little connection, he could guess some things.

"Mr. Cultivator, what's the matter?"

Ding Yan smiled and said: "Let's talk privately, I have something to discuss with Su Ping."

However, before he could finish, Rong Qiu beside him already laughed: "There's nothing to hide, everyone knows what it is, it's just about poaching, right? Su Ping, do you want to change to another province's Beast Tamer Association?"

Rong Qiu directly revealed the truth, causing the others' faces to change, and Ding Yan gl glared at this woman.

This woman from the north is just not smart.

What benefit does directly exposing bring to them? Isn't it losing face to poach someone and offer conditions in front of everyone?

But Rong Qiu clearly didn't care, shrugging her shoulders, completely ignoring Ding Yan's glare.

Su Ping finally understood what this was all about. Previously, President Liu had mentioned this to him once.

The achievements and resource allocation of various regions, but he didn't expect that he would also have a chance to be involved.

Seeing the matter exposed, Ding Yan didn't pretend anymore. He directly ignored Yang He's angry glare and said:

"Su Ping, what future do you have staying in Jianghai Province? Others might not know, but I do. Jianghai Province is rotten to the core. Otherwise, why would a genius like you have a treatment that's not even as good as this Yang Cultivator's?"

Su Ping was stunned again.

Ding Yan didn't waste time and continued:

"I can promise here, as long as you join the Huaiyang Province Beast Tamer Association, this time advancing to Senior Beast Tamer is a certainty. Additionally, an annual research fund of over 5,000 points.

Other various benefits and advantages, we can discuss in detail later!"

He is a councilor of the Huaiyang Province Beast Tamer Association and naturally has some decision-making power in this regard.

And the conditions are quite good.

5,000 points, how much did the sun crystal cost back then? With these 5,000 points, several Sovereign-level resources can be exchanged, and even some Imperial-level resources if saved up.

"This... thank you for your good intentions, Mr. Ding. However, I'm used to living in Jianghai, and I have no intention of moving to another city."

"Habits can be changed, I guarantee that once you come to Huaiyang, you won't regret it. I came over the same way..."

Ding Yan continued to persuade, and it was clear that this Mr. Cultivator indeed admired him greatly.

But this was just the beginning.

The other representatives of their respective provinces also joined in the competition.

"Su Ping, Minyue Province..."

"Su Ping, Anqing Province..."

Suddenly, the large commander's office of the master's command center turned into a bustling market.

Lin Lei didn't mind, instead, he watched this scene with interest.

Similarly interested was Rong Qiu, who had revealed the truth.

This Beast Tamer from Beiyuan Province, after exposing their intentions, remained silent.

Her narrow eyes sized up Su Ping, a smile of unknown meaning hanging on her lips.

However, while they could watch with interest, Yang He couldn't sit still anymore.

If the teacher hadn't arrived, Su Ping, this piece of Tang Tang Priest's flesh, would really be divided and eaten by these monsters!

Su Ping didn't expect that after coming to the Legion, before the competition even started, the competition for him among the Wolf Warriors Division would begin first.

But he naturally couldn't leave Jianghai. The investment in Mu Xin Zhi (Wood Heart) wasn't just about money; it was also their family's heart and blood.

Moreover, Su Ping believed that these people's conditions, Old Liu wouldn't be stingy about.

But with this current situation, he really couldn't handle it.

It was truly about to eat someone!

However, at this moment, an angry and familiar voice finally sounded from outside the door:

"Who wants to poach my Jianghai Province's people?"

Su Ping and Yang He both breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the office door was pushed open, and Liu Fuhai, with a face black as ink but filled with unimaginable joy, appeared at the door.
