Chapter 14: Mutant Skill: Poisoned Heart of Wood!
Chapter 14: Mutant Skill: Poisoned Heart of Wood!
A Mutant Skill.
This was something the school had taught before.
Some companion beasts, due to resources, growth environment, or even personality, would experience mutations in their originally awakened skills.
These mutant skills varied in strength, some powerful and others weak, and couldn't be generalized.
And now, Xiao Qing was undoubtedly one such example.
As the True Eye observed her at this moment, it immediately provided feedback to Su Ping.
【Mutant Forest Wolf (Contracted)】
【Current Level: Common Fourth Rank】
【Race Potential: Lord Third Rank】
【Skills: Sunlight Absorption (Beginner), Poisonous Vine Strangle (Beginner), Mutant Poisoned Heart of Wood (Beginner)】
Even though he was prepared, Su Ping couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The breakthrough in the Common Fourth Rank wasn't particularly remarkable, and it was even one rank lower than Little Dot's breakthrough.
However, this wasn't the crux of the issue. The real problem lay in the sudden elevation of the race's potential!
The Forest Wolf had an Elite Rank race potential!
Even Old Sha, with all his past opportunities, had only managed to break through the race's potential and become a Lord Rank.
But when observed through the True Eye, it was clear that Old Sha's race potential hadn't truly broken through, indicating that his advancement was due to personal opportunities rather than racial factors.
Even if Old Sha had offspring, it wouldn't affect the race's potential.
But Xiao Qing, at this moment, was different.
After consuming the Heart of Wood and undergoing an unknown mutation, her race's potential had further improved!
Even without evolution or the need for precious resources and magic potions, with proper nurturing, Xiao Qing could break through to the Lord Rank in the future, as long as she wasn't too lazy.
For a moment, Su Ping couldn't help but consider raising his prices slightly.
However, he also understood that while the Heartwood Elixir played a role, Xiao Qing's extraordinary talent was equally significant.
Although Xiao Qing's skill levels hadn't changed on the panel, through their soul bond, Su Ping could clearly sense that her Poisonous Vine Strangle had significantly improved.
Each level of skill proficiency represented a substantial difference in power.
This was why beastmasters and their companion beasts needed to practice and cultivate continuously.
The enhanced power of the Poisonous Vine Strangle, being an offensive ability, was a significant improvement.
Unfortunately, there weren't any suitable opponents for a battle at this time.
Shaking his head, Su Ping finally turned the True Eye towards Xiao Qing's main transformation.
This rare and precious mutant skill!
【Mutant Poisoned Heart of Wood (Beginner): A unique mutant skill, merging the Poison Type with the Heart of Wood, resulting in increased power, casting time, and effect for both Poison and Wood Type skills.
Additionally, it can absorb the essence of plant power for self-recovery or consume Poison Type resources to accelerate realm advancement and skill proficiency.】
As the True Eye's effect faded, Su Ping blinked, momentarily stunned.
Even though the school had taught that mutant skills could be either stronger or weaker than their original forms, this was still astonishing.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Xiao Qing's 'Poisoned Wood Heart' was clearly a more powerful mutation.
But Su Ping never imagined it would be this powerful.
Other than the fact that it enhances the effects of Poison Type skills, just like the Heart of Wood, there's something else...
However, the clause that followed was something Su Ping had never expected.
By consuming Poison Type resources and related items, it can accelerate the improvement of one's realm and skill proficiency?
Previously, Su Ping had thought of earning money to buy some Poison Type resources for Xiao Qing.
He wanted to fully develop Xiao Qing's Poison Type abilities, but there was always a certain risk.
Why are there so few Poison Type companion beasts? It's because, many times, the use of Poison Type resources for these beasts can easily be fatal if not carefully administered.
But now, with this mutated Poisoned Wood Heart, does it mean that Xiao Qing has an additional layer of insurance?
The thought excited Su Ping, and his eyes lit up with enthusiasm.
He picked up Xiao Qing, who was still reveling in her newfound power, and kissed the top of the little wolf's head, still covered in green.
Indeed, the price of a mutated bloodline companion beast far surpasses the rest, and the reason is evident.
With a mutated bloodline, no one knows the limit, and who knows when it might give its master a rare surprise.
Like right now.
Su Ping's desire to unlock the reason for the Wolf Chronicle's Poison Type bloodline mutation, which requires a whopping 50,000 experience points, intensified.
Suddenly, Su Ping's body, tired from making three batches of Heartwood Mana Potions, felt reinvigorated.
He immediately took Little Dot, who had regained her size and learned the skill 'Accelerated Growth', to the estate's forest.
First things first, he began training Little Qing in combat and skill practice.
He also aimed to bond with the remaining twenty-plus wolves, as reaching the bonding requirement would expedite the upgrade of the Wolf Chronicle!
Thanks to Little Dot and Little Qing's breakthroughs, the Wolf Chronicle's experience points had reached 222/500, bringing it one step closer to Level 2!
Watching the pack of wolves, led by Old Sha, basking lazily in the dusk sunlight, Su Ping felt energized.
He shouted at the wolves:
"To make Heartwood the world's top Companion Beast Breeding Base! To become Dragon Kingdom's top Beast Trainer! Wolves, give me your Love Tackle!"
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
Only Little Qing and Little Dot responded, while the others, including Old Sha, looked at their young master with adoration.
Su Ping laughed and, without a care, took out the tree fruits he had prepared earlier from the Beastmaster Space.
The wolves' main food was dispensed by the feeder, but these treats were Su Ping's impromptu idea.
Undoubtedly, these opportunistic wolves, upon seeing the buckets of snacks and fruits, lined up eagerly, ready to share the treats.
