Chapter 138: Special Beastmaster Corps Breeding? Back to the Heart of Wood!
Chapter 138: Special Beastmaster Corps Breeding? Back to the Heart of Wood!
Aboard the aircraft.
Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai exchanged a glance.
Ever since Su Ping emerged from Zhao Deguang's place, he had been in a daze.
The two were curious, but they didn't rush to ask.
Liu Fuhai mentioned the confidentiality agreement to Zhao General.
Su Ping glanced at Er Zhuang and Sun Xiao once more, and then Lin Lei secretly slipped him a third-class merit badge. Su Ping then took his leave with the two old men, heading back to Linzhou City.
The initial promise was that if he made it into the top five, Lin Lei would find a way to secure him a second-class merit, plus a third-class merit from their master.
However, the reality exceeded their expectations. Zhao Deguang had gone above and beyond, presenting him with a first-class merit. Lin Lei's third-class merit now seemed like an added bonus.
But throughout the journey, Su Ping's mind was elsewhere, consumed by the words Zhao General had shared with him.
Special Beastmaster Corps?
Did the Legion truly have such a thing?
Could it be that even now, with countless breeders and evolved beasts in Dragon Nation, they still couldn't meet the requirements of this special force?
What kind of beasts did this so-called new Special Beastmaster Corps require?
Zhao General had indeed shared some insights on this.
When the time came for the selection process, the instructor of the Special Beastmaster Corps and several renowned breeders would personally conduct the interviews.
Only during the actual interviews and selection process would they reveal the desired breeding direction and the requirements for the evolved beasts.
However, Zhao Deguang didn't leave them completely in the dark. He continued, "It's likely to be a necromantic breeding direction. The higher-ups emphasized that breeders skilled in necromantic breeding would be prioritized, but it's not a strict requirement. So, you can give it a shot; even if you're not selected, it's no big deal."
Necromantic.
Su Ping's first thought naturally went to his precious little paper man, Qian Yi.
However, considering Qian Yi's appearance, calling him a necromantic beast seemed a bit far-fetched.
Moreover, the Special Beastmaster Corps!
Although Su Ping had never encountered them before, he could glean some insights from the special forces of his previous life.
The rigorous training process, formidable individual combat abilities, and unwavering willpower.
They represented the most elite and top-tier forces within the Legion.
And in today's Beastmaster society, this was even more evident.
They were likely even more powerful and mysterious.
In the current Dragon Nation, even the legions under Zhao Deguang's command didn't have direct control over a Special Beastmaster Corps.
Every Special Beastmaster Corps was shrouded in mystery, answering directly to higher authorities and having no connection to local legions.
One could only imagine how enigmatic these Special Beastmaster Corps were.
Furthermore, for this particular mission, even the selection of breeders would be overseen by renowned breeders and the enigmatic members of the Special Beastmaster Corps themselves.
Such prestige and depth—could a beast like the paper man possibly qualify for such a place?
Although Su Ping had already found a direction and believed that with his research and development, the paper man's future would be extraordinary, he lacked the confidence and assurance.
However, Zhao Deguang had mentioned that the selection process for breeders in the Special Beastmaster Corps would officially commence in the spring of the following year.
Before the Lunar New Year, all breeders who wished to participate in the preliminary selection had to register.
Could he present the paper man's direction and satisfy the Special Beastmaster Corps instructor or even the renowned breeders before the New Year?
Su Ping wasn't sure, and even he lacked the confidence to do so.
But it was so alluring!
Zhao Deguang observed the honest and straightforward man, knowing that he wasn't entirely trustworthy.
He shared enticing information:
'Once you join the Special Beastmaster Corps, all resources, even those of imperial grade, will be at your disposal.'
'With successful completion, the honorary major rank will be further elevated, and the monthly welfare battle merit points will be abundant.'
'Special Beastmaster Corps breeders to access specialized resources that accelerate meditation, enhancing their meditation realm.'
'There are even resources like the Creation Stone, a treasure that can modify the Beastmaster's space attributes during each significant breakthrough, elevating the Beastmaster's innate talent.'
The old man even claimed, 'The Legion possesses a treasure that can enhance the Beastmaster's innate talent, a resource that the higher-ups control.'
Su Ping had never heard of such things, not even during his school days.
A whole lot of enticing information.
However, the reality was...
By the time Zhao Deguang reached the third point, mentioning resources that could accelerate meditation and rapidly elevate one's meditation realm, Su Ping had already fallen under their spell.
As General Zhao had said, there was no harm in trying.
"Su Ping, what did Zhao Deguang give you? You still haven't snapped out of it?"
Finally, as they approached the outskirts of Linzhou City, Liu Fuhai spoke up.
Su Ping suddenly snapped out of his thoughts, withdrawing from his contemplation and scratching his head in realization.
"Sorry..."
"Su Ping, what exactly did General Zhao tell you?"
Qin Erlong, standing beside them, was also curious.
Su Ping felt a bit helpless.
The matter of the Special Beastmaster Corps was something General Zhao had discussed with him, but it was not something he could casually reveal to outsiders.
Although the two individuals before him were not outsiders, General Zhao hadn't specified whether he could share this information with them.
The Special Beastmaster Corps was an absolute secret.
Every Special Beastmaster Corps unit, from its members to its breeders, instructors, beasts, and even the types of beasts they possessed, was strictly prohibited from being disclosed to the public.
Seeing Su Ping's hesitant expression, Qin Erlong was taken aback.
Liu Fuhai, on the other hand, seemed to understand:
"Can't say? Is it like the matter you mentioned to me before?"
Su Ping nodded.
Liu Fuhai nodded in response:
"Alright, then we won't ask. After all, there are many taboos when it comes to legion matters, and not knowing is sometimes better."
This time, it was Qin Erlong's turn to be perplexed. He turned to Liu Fuhai:
"What did you tell Su Ping?"
Liu Fuhai gave him a sideways glance:
"Didn't I just say it can't be said?"
"Can't you be more human?"
This time, Qin Erlong experienced the same feeling of frustration that Liu Fuhai had felt when he was being cryptic.
This heart-wrenching and liver-scratching sensation caused him to shift his resentful gaze from Liu Fuhai to Su Ping.
Su Ping helplessly rubbed his nose:
"Well, Old Liu, didn't you say you could tell Old Qin about it? There's no one else here..."
Liu Fuhai hummed twice,
and Qin Erlong immediately understood the implication.
"A few days ago, the Capital of the Dead sent me a pound of Dragon Blood Tea..."
Liu Fuhai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Erlong with gleaming eyes:
"What dragon blood?"
He gave the old man, who was acting like a tease, a speechless look:
"What else could it be? The best-tasting Ice Dragon Blood..."
"Eight ounces!"
"Nonsense! At most, three ounces!"
"Deal."
Read the flawless version at 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first release novel.
Old Liu was content, feeling as if the frustration that had been bottled up in his chest for so long had finally been released.
He felt refreshed and relaxed all over.
"Alright, speak up. What's going on? Earlier, I saw you acting all mysterious with General Zhao."
Liu Fuhai paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice:
"During the final round of the competition, the massive light emitted by the Thousand Wood Wolf and the state of being enveloped by the light was the initial combination of a super-rank skill's prototype skill module!"
Thousand Wood Wolf, massive light, super-rank skill, prototype...
These four keywords, when connected, caused Qin Erlong, despite his composure, to involuntarily exclaim:
"Holy shit!"
Perhaps he wasn't a professional breeder, and thus, Qin Erlong didn't have extensive knowledge about breeding matters.
However, as a powerful beastmaster, Qin Erlong was very clear about beast combat.
Therefore, he naturally understood the significance of a super-rank skill.
Qin Erlong turned to Su Ping, his eyes widening in surprise, and this time, he couldn't help but feel a bit perplexed.
He was indeed perplexed.
Previously, he had thought that it was just this old man, but now, considering his wife, his unfilial son, and Xiaoxue's innate talent, even if Su Ping had some breeding talent, he would still be a good match for this stinky boy.
Moreover, from the perspective of family background and status, they were not quite compatible.
However, if his granddaughter was interested, it wouldn't be a problem.
But now, it seemed like it wasn't as simple as that. How could this stinky boy repeatedly surpass his expectations?
Was this reasonable?
Previously, his granddaughter had used the example of the Sovereign of Holy Dragon to refute Yu Xing Shao Jiao, and it turned out to be prophetic? Although it was likely that this boy would face immense challenges compared to the Sovereign of Holy Dragon in the future, this starting point was still too much to bear.
At this moment, Qin Erlong understood why Old Liu wanted to keep this matter secret.
After a brief sigh of relief, Qin Erlong nodded:
"Indeed, this matter must be kept confidential, at least until the breeder tournament."
By then, Su Ping might come under the scrutiny of certain individuals, and some people would hesitate to use underhanded methods.

Liu Fuhai stood there, staring at the woman in black dress, feeling a mix of confusion and surprise. He took a tentative step forward, trying to decipher the situation. "Xiao Ping,9, are you really back? I am your father, and I am calling you as my godmother. But I guess this is not the case, and you are indeed Liao Ping. Why don't you recognize me? After all, you've been away for so long, why is it that you've returned just now? I've been waiting for you to come back. I've been training hard to recognize the signs, but I can see that you've grown stronger. I've been practicing to see through the eyes of others, and I can tell that you've been working on understanding the deeper connections. I've learned to recognize the subtle hints and gestures that indicate someone's intentions. I am still learning, and I am eager to understand you better. However, the woman in blackdress standing before him was a reminder that sometimes, the simplest way to show your presence is through the subtle hints and gestures. She might be trying to tell you something without saying it outright.
Liao Ping, you are indeed back. However, why don't you recognize me? I am your friend, and I am calling you. I've been waiting for you, and I've been trying to understand you. However, if you are indeed Liao Ping, why don't you recognize me as your father? I am still learning, and I am eager to understand the deeper connections. I've been practicing to see through the eyes of others, and I can tell that you've been working on understanding the subtle hints and gestures that indicate someone's intentions. I am still learning, and I am eager to understand you.
