Chapter 14: Mutated Skill: Toxic Heart of Wood!
Chapter 14: Mutated Skill: Toxic Heart of Wood!
A mutated skill.
The school had taught about this before.
Some companion beasts, due to their resources, environment, or even their personalities, end up with mutated skills instead of the ones they were supposed to awaken.
These mutated skills vary in strength, some powerful, some weak, so it's hard to generalize.
And now, Xiao Qing is undoubtedly one of those examples.
After observing Xiao Qing with the True Eye, it immediately provided Su Ping with feedback.
【Mutant Forest Wolf (Bonded)】
【Current Rank: Ordinary Fourth Rank】
【Species Potential: Overlord Third Rank】
【Skills: Sunlight Absorption (Entry), Poison Vine Strangulation (Entry), Mutated Toxic Heart of Wood (Entry)】
Even though Su Ping was prepared, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The rank advancement from Ordinary Fourth Rank wasn't a big deal, and it was even one rank lower than Little Spot's advancement.
However, this wasn't the main issue. The real concern was the leap in species potential!
Forest Wolves have Elite Rank species potential!
Even Old Sha, with all his opportunities, only managed to break through his species potential and reach the Overlord Rank.
But when observed with the True Eye, Old Sha's species potential hadn't actually advanced, indicating that his breakthrough was due to personal opportunities rather than a racial change.
Even if Old Sha had offspring, it wouldn't affect the species.
But Xiao Qing was different.
After consuming the Heart of Wood and undergoing an unknown mutation, her species potential had advanced even further!
Even without evolution or the need for precious resources and potions, if Xiao Qing wasn't too lazy, she would be able to break through to the Overlord Rank in the future!
For a moment, Su Ping fell into deep thought. Was the effect of the Heart of Wood that outrageous?
It seemed that if someone were to seek his help in cultivation, he could set a slightly higher price.
However, Su Ping also understood that while the Heart of Wood potion's effect was one aspect, Xiao Qing's incredible talent was another.
Although Xiao Qing's skill levels hadn't changed on the panel, Su Ping could clearly sense through their soul bond that her Poison Vine Strangulation had significantly improved.
Each level of skill proficiency had a noticeable gap in power.
This was why beastmasters and their companion beasts needed to practice and cultivate continuously.
The increased power of Poison Vine Strangulation, an offensive ability, was naturally the main focus.
However, there wasn't a suitable opponent for a battle, which was quite a pity.
Shaking his head, Su Ping finally turned the True Eye to observe Xiao Qing's main changes.
This rare and precious mutated skill!
【Mutated Toxic Heart of Wood (Entry): A special mutated skill, fusing the Toxic Lineage with the Heart of Wood, resulting in increased power and reduced casting time for Poison Skills.
Additionally, it allows the absorption of plant essence for self-recovery and the consumption of Toxic Resources to accelerate rank advancement and skill proficiency.】
Su Ping blinked, and the effect of the True Eye vanished, but he was momentarily stunned.
Even though the school had mentioned that mutated skills could be either stronger or weaker, there was no doubt that Xiao Qing's 'Toxic Heart of Wood' belonged to the former category.
Su Ping never imagined that he would reach such a powerful level.
The effects of the Heart of Wood were one thing, enhancing the capabilities of Toxic Skills, but what came next was truly unexpected.
The ability to accelerate one's Realm and Skill Proficiency by consuming Toxic Resources and related items was a revelation.
Previously, Su Ping had considered earning money to purchase Toxic Resources for Xiao Qing's consumption, aiming to develop her Toxic abilities.
However, this endeavor carried risks, as the use of Toxic Companion Beasts and resources often led to fatal consequences for the beasts if not handled carefully.
The scarcity of Toxic Companion Beasts was a testament to this.
But now, with the mutated Poisoned Heartwood, could Xiao Qing's safety be further ensured?
Su Ping's eyes lit up with excitement at this thought.
He picked up Xiao Qing, who was still intoxicated by her newfound power, and kissed the little wolf's head, which was still a vibrant green.
The unerring version is available on 69shu! 6=9+shu_bar first release novel.
Indeed, Companion Beasts with mutated bloodlines were often priced higher due to their unpredictable potential.
No one knew the limits of these mutated beasts, and they might surprise their owners with unexpected gifts at any moment.
Take the current situation, for example.
Su Ping thought about the Wolf Bestiary, where a Forest Wolf's Toxic bloodline mutation required a whopping 50,000 Bestiary Experience points, and his desire to achieve this grew stronger.
Suddenly, Su Ping's body, tired from making three batches of Heart of Wood Potions, seemed to regain its strength.
He took Little Spot, who had regained his size and learned the Rapid Growth skill, and headed outside the Manor Forest.
First things first, Su Ping decided to train Xiao Qing in combat and practice skills, while also bonding with the other two dozen Forest Wolves to increase their Affinities.
This would accelerate the upgrade of the Wolf Bestiary!
Speaking of which, the Wolf Bestiary had already advanced significantly due to the breakthroughs of Little Spot and Xiao Qing, and its Experience Points had reached: (222/500).
It was now one step closer to Level 2!
Su Ping's spirits lifted as he watched the wolf pack, led by Old Sha, lounging lazily under the evening sunlight.
He shouted at the wolves: "Let's make the Heart of Wood the world's top Beast Breeding Base! Let's make me the top Breeder in Dragon Nation! Wolves, give me your Love Tackle!"
"Awoo..."
"Awoo..."
Only Xiao Qing and Little Spot responded, while the others, including Old Sha, looked at their young master with caring yet slightly puzzled expressions.
Su Ping laughed it off and took out some tree fruits he had prepared earlier from the Beast Mastery Space.
The wolves' main meals were automatically fed through feeders, but these treats were a spontaneous idea of Su Ping's.
Undoubtedly, these quick-witted wolves, upon seeing the fruits and snacks, hurried over and sat in a row, eagerly awaiting their share.
