Chapter 183: Transformation! The Arrival of the Tree Crown Wolf King's Evolution!

Chapter 183: Transformation! The Arrival of the Tree Crown Wolf King's Evolution!

Before dawn, the Breeding Master Association Center in Jianghai was extremely serene.

However, in the laboratory of the Breeding Master Association, the atmosphere was still as bustling as ever.

Several figures worked swiftly, analyzing the numbers on the instruments, and howls of wolves occasionally echoed.

Leading them was none other than Liu Fuhai.

Throughout the night, Liu Fuhai hadn't left, remaining in the office.

This was his daily routine.

Ever since the nominal Left President of Jianghai Province went to the capital and never returned, Liu Fuhai, as the Vice President, had been busier than ever.

Fortunately, during the winter, other places were generally busier, while the Breeding Master Association was relatively quieter, giving Liu Fuhai some respite.

As a result, he finally had some time to visit the Association's dedicated laboratory and continue researching his current unsuccessful experimental direction.

The super-tier skill combination of the Snow Wolf's evolved form, the Ice Fang White Wolf.

After the previous declaration of failure, Old Liu had already lost hope.

However, while in the Legion, upon seeing Su Ping's Ten Thousand Trees Wolf's super-tier skill seed, Old Liu once again felt inspired.

If Su Ping could do it, why couldn't he after all these years?

Should he continue researching other companion beasts?

Obviously, that was out of the question. If he did so, the amount of energy required would be immense, unless he was incredibly lucky. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make any further progress within five years.

It was better to continue researching the Ice Fang White Wolf.

Clearly, Old Liu was still unwilling to give up.

Regardless, he had learned something from Su Ping this time.

As a result, after searching through numerous ice and snow-related skills, Liu Fuhai did find a few potential special skills that might have a chance to interact with the Ice Fang White Wolf and produce some chemical reactions.

In reality, super-tier skill cultivation is extremely unique.

Skill combination is just one aspect of cultivation, but it's not everything.

For example, many people are familiar with a well-known super-tier skill combination.

Elemental Core!

Previously, both Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping had mentioned this skill.

One of the combinations for Elemental Core is Wood Core.

Among the other combination skills, Metal Core, Water Core, Fire Core, and Earth Core are also required.

Even some Wind Core and Thunder Core skills can slightly contribute to forming the Elemental Core.

But what creature can cultivate five or more Elemental Core skills?

From an attribute perspective, it's already impossible. While there are creatures with multiple attributes, they are usually not bred.

Moreover, some super-tier skills cannot be combined and fused just by breeding.

Skill level, associated attributes, and the creature's talent and comprehension are all crucial factors that may significantly impact the outcome.

Under these circumstances, the difficulty of developing a cultivable super-tier skill is unimaginable.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be considered a field for master breeders.

"Teacher, Snow Swallowing Technique and Ice Fang White Wolf's Ice Seal Bloodline don't have any direct reactions..."

After all the work was done, one of the Snow Wolf breeders spoke up, and Old Liu's brows furrowed once more.

Although he had anticipated the outcome, Old Liu was still somewhat disappointed.

Where does the Snow Wolf's super-tier skill path lie?

The Ice Fang White Wolf's Ice Seal Bloodline skill has great potential.

According to his years of speculation, there is definitely a chance to form a true super-tier skill with other skills.

But, it failed again.

Old Liu sighed and glanced out the window.

The darkness outside had quietly dissipated, replaced by a faint glow of dawn. He finally felt energized and encouraged the other breeders who also showed disappointment:

"Alright, super-tier skills are not so easily understood. Otherwise, everyone would have achieved them. We have plenty of time, let's go eat breakfast first! After breakfast, we'll come back and try again."

The laboratory door opened.

No one said anything because they knew that Liu Fuhai was the one feeling the most pressure at that moment.

After all, this was Liu Fuhai's hard work, and they were just here to assist.

And as expected.

After everyone left, Liu Fuhai sat in his seat with a frown.

Looking at the Snow Wolf before him, his brows furrowed. They had accompanied this Ice Fang White Wolf for over half a month.

Their goal was to teach it the special skill 'Snow Swallowing Technique', but after all this time, they still couldn't find a single connection between the skills.

Half a month's efforts were in vain, and they had to start searching for new possibilities.

Although he was used to it, Liu Fuhai still felt helpless.

He suddenly thought of that stinky brat for no reason.

Unfortunately, the brat's pet research didn't continue with wolf pets. Even if he didn't want to research the Forest Wolf, he could have tried other wolf pets.

If that kid was here and had studied the Ice Fang White Wolf, perhaps he could have come up with some interesting ideas and possibilities.

Unfortunately, he went astray and started researching that shameful Undead pet, the Origami Man.

What's even more infuriating is that he actually managed to produce results.

His mutated Origami Man successfully evolved.

This made Old Liu realize that it was even less likely for the kid to change his mind and continue researching wolf pets.

He wondered what the kid would think if he were in this situation.

As he was thinking about this,

A phone call interrupted his thoughts.

The early morning call caused Liu Fuhai to furrow his brows, but he quickly relaxed.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Liu Fuhai's worried expression from the night before turned into a smile:

"Hey, Su Ping."

After the last attack, they hadn't had a chance to chat again.

Liu Fuhai really wanted to have a good talk with the kid.

Unfortunately, the kid had no sense of martial etiquette and dropped a bombshell right away:

"Old Liu, do you want to come over to the Wood Core side? Lao Sha, the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, seems to be starting the fusion of his super-tier skill."

...

A moment later,

Liu Fuhai looked at Lao Sha in front of him.

Even though he had calmed his breathing countless times on the way here.

But when he saw the state that had been recorded in the books, his chest began to thump rapidly.

The kid wasn't bluffing about this! The Ten Thousand Trees Wolf before him looked completely normal.

However, the light points on its body, the special aura, and many other details, all corresponded to the descriptions in the breeding books.

Old Liu let out a long breath.

There was no longer any hint of fatigue or disappointment in his eyes.

Although his side had failed.

Jianghai had produced an extraordinary talent! He looked at Su Ping with a complex expression and said:

"The super-tier skill breeding manual records that after all the combination skills of the super-tier skill meet the corresponding conditions, it will enter the skill fusion state.

The duration of this state depends on the strength and complexity of the super-tier skill being fused!

Usually, it's between three to fifteen days. During this time, the fusion can be fully completed!"

Su Ping was speechless.

Damn it, did he just waste his time staring at Lao Sha?

So, it was a waste of time?

However, Su Ping could afford to wait, and Old Liu could afford to wait too.

"It's still more than half a month until the New Year's Eve. After this breeding master competition, you, stinky brat, will become famous!"

Liu Fuhai sighed with emotion.

Su Ping didn't react to this sigh, only smiling faintly.

Half a year ago.

When he first contracted with Xiao Qing, lit up the Forest Wolf chapter in the Universal Codex, and saw that his Wood Core potion could be perfected with experience, Su Ping knew that one day, he would become famous throughout the world.

In this era of Beastmasters, breeding masters are considered the foundation of the nation's Beastmaster civilization development.

The status of every breeding master is the best proof.

Although powerful breeding masters may not be strong Beastmasters, Su Ping knew that he had taken the first step.

But it was only the first step.

Breeding masters, and their own Beastmaster strength.

Both hands must be strong.

Of course, if the former achieves results, it will naturally be reflected in the latter.

Thinking of this, Su Ping once again felt a longing for the breeding master competition.

"What's the situation with this breeding master competition? Did you get any inside information?"

Old Liu smiled and said:

"What inside information could there be? The provinces are keeping things tightly under wraps! At this time, not many people know what discoveries these guys will use to participate in this competition.

But our side should have the information! After all, many people in the legion have seen the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf."

As he spoke, a mischievous smile appeared on Old Liu's lips.

For some people,

New evolved forms are naturally valuable, but for evolved forms like the Forest Wolf, which has already reached the Elite Rank and is climbing even higher, especially for those climbing two rank levels in racial potential, they are even more precious.

Many times, in breeding master competitions, new evolved forms can indeed achieve good rankings.

However, practicality is also important. If it's a low-level pet, a common-rank-and-above evolved form, every time such a discovery is made, it's almost like a national fortune-changing boost.

New basic-rank evolved forms represent a new blue ocean.

This chapter represents those ordinary low-level Beastmasters, providing them with more options and opportunities for advancement. Among them, there may be many who will rise to prominence through this aspect.

The more choices one has, the greater the potential for national strength and development.

Therefore, in the eyes of many, the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf is indeed powerful, and its ability to claim the top spot in the Legion Battle is a testament to its potential.

However, the problem lies in the fact that it is still not enough!

To win the top spot in such circumstances seems extremely challenging.

But will these guys know that the Lin Wolf's evolved form, the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, has the potential for advanced skills? An evolved form with the potential for advanced skills is completely different from ordinary evolved forms.

This can be seen during the Legion Battle, where the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, with its Sun Formula, was able to suppress other Companion Beasts, proving its superiority.

I can't wait to see the expressions on those turtle-like sons! At this moment, Old Liu also reveals a sinister smile.

Finally, it's Jiang Hai's turn to feel triumphant. He has been waiting for this day for far too long.

The more he looks at the young man in front of him, the more Old Liu feels pleased.

However, Old Liu suddenly speaks up, as if remembering something:

"The correct version is on BookBar 69! 6=9+Book_Bar"

"Regarding the incident you mentioned last time, Mu Hang has already been informed, and he asked me to convey his apologies to you."

Su Ping was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "I understand, it's not his fault!"

Through Cold Grandpa's Soul Search, it can be seen that this incident had nothing to do with Mu Hang from start to finish. Otherwise, with Cold Grandpa's ruthless and meticulous nature, he would not have shown any mercy.

Old Liu speaks again:

"It's estimated that in a few days, we'll be heading to Beast Capital. You'll finally get to meet that Miss Sang Sheng!"

Sang Sheng.

This title has been circulating for a while now, but Su Ping only has a vague understanding of her.

She is the mother of Qin Xiaoxue, the grandmother of Qin Daxiao, and the mother-in-law of Qin Chuan. A Saint-level Beastmaster specializing in Plant Type, and the Dean of the Advanced Beastmaster Academy in Beast Capital.

"This Miss Sang Sheng, is she very powerful? Compared to Cold Grandpa, who is stronger?"

Su Ping asked curiously.

Although it must be said, comparing anyone to Cold Grandpa is quite foolish.

However, Old Liu understands Su Ping's thoughts and asks, "In terms of Companion Beast strength, Ghost Saint is probably slightly superior, but in terms of influence, starting next year, Sang Sheng will likely surpass her!"

"Oh?"

Su Ping raised his eyebrows, showing a look of interest.

Seeming to understand Su Ping's curiosity, Old Liu cleared his throat and subconsciously lowered his voice:

"Starting next year, all education-related schools and industries will undergo a major reform!

I've heard about this before."

However, this matter has no relevance to him at all.

He has already graduated.

As for joining the Advanced Beastmaster Academy, he hasn't even considered it.

He can easily obtain knowledge from the Advanced Beastmaster Academy, but the practical training opportunities with his Wood Core are far more valuable.

Nevertheless, as the conversation reaches this point, Su Ping puts on a patient listening expression.

"First of all, there are two certain things!"

Old Liu extends his fingers and says, "First, all basic Beastmaster Academy graduates will be provided with a free first Companion Beast contract by the Beastmaster Associations across Dragon Country!

"Ah?!"

Su Ping's eyes widen in surprise.

A free first contract Companion Beast?

Old Liu seems to have anticipated this reaction and smiles, saying:

"Of course, there are restrictions. First, these Companion Beasts will mostly be in egg form for distribution, and direct contracts will be made without any resale allowed. Moreover, the distribution will be completely random.

Most will likely be ordinary Companion Beasts, with at most one in a thousand having elite-level potential or higher.

It can also be said that schools can independently contract Companion Beasts. This policy is mainly to accommodate those Awakened Beastmasters who are unable or find it difficult to use their family's financial resources for contracting."

Su Ping nods.

Beastmastering is a high-consumption industry.

Anything related to Companion Beasts is extremely expensive.

Elite-level Lin Wolf cubs are sold for several hundred thousand, while ordinary ones are still priced at several tens of thousands.

Many families find it difficult to afford them.

Even after contracting, many Beastmasters spend a large sum of money but still see no results.

Now, this expenditure is being covered by Dragon Country.

It must be said that this is a major reform to enhance national strength.

"Second, the Beastmaster assessment will be significantly reduced in difficulty. From the previous assessment every three years, it will change to an annual national assessment! However, there is a stipulation that Beastmasters above the age of twenty are not eligible to participate in this assessment!

Of course, even if one misses it due to certain reasons and then rises again, they can still take a personal supplementary assessment..."

The assessment is somewhat relevant to Su Ping.

After all, Su Ping still remembers how Qin Xiaoxue told him to wait for him during the professional Beastmaster assessment.

Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Liu Fuhai in surprise:

"So, the Beastmaster exam next year..."

Liu Fuhai nodded:

"Next year's Beastmaster exam will be the last time with the current rules! However, for this educational reform, next year's professional exam will also undergo some changes.

Moreover... the intention is to make this exam more exciting, allowing all Beastmasters who have not yet passed the exam to showcase the talents of Dragon Country's young Beastmasters on a national or even global stage!"

Su Ping scratched his head.

Damn, once these things are mentioned, and these terms are used, it's not a casual matter.

Make it more exciting? How exactly?

"Do you know some of the exam rules?"

Su Ping nodded, but there weren't many rules. Only those above the Elite Rank, below a certain age threshold, could participate.

Passing a series of exams in the local province and city would be considered passing.

This was also why Su Ping previously thought that even if Qin Xiaoxue hadn't taken the exam, whether he participated or not wouldn't have much to do with her.

However, it was evident that things had changed.

Old Liu paused and continued:

"This time's Beastmaster exam will still follow the same rules, and in terms of cultivation realm, as long as one hasn't reached the Monarch Rank, all young Beastmasters can participate. At the same time, there will be provincial selections!

Then, the top performers from various provinces nationwide will have a final Beastmaster battle to determine the ultimate ranking.

"Holy shit!"

Su Ping spoke up directly, "Below Monarch Rank can participate? As long as they haven't participated before, they can all join?"

Liu Fuhai nodded helplessly:

"Yes, Monarch Rank is a special level. Reaching this level means you're already an upper-tier Beastmaster, and it's difficult to break through. So, many are stuck at this rank."

Su Ping was speechless.

Below Monarch Rank? Miss Qin really holds him in high regard.

This professional exam will be held next year.

It's been just a year since he became a Beastmaster.

Liu Fuhai continued:

"However, don't get your hopes up too much. Many young Beastmasters, due to various circumstances or prior knowledge of rumors, like Miss Qin, have been preparing, waiting for this opportunity to showcase their skills."

"Su Ping, your battlefield is not in the exam, but in the realm of Beastmaster trainers. That's what you should focus on and care about."

Liu Fuhai worried that Su Ping might 'stray off the path', and quickly advised him.

After all, if this exam is held next year, there might be a few chances.

But if it's happening in just half a year, it's undoubtedly less favorable compared to those Beastmasters who are eagerly waiting and well-prepared.

Might as well not worry about it. With Su Ping's abilities, whether he participates or not doesn't really matter.

Of course, for this event, it's said that Dragon Country's upper echelons have prepared numerous treasures as rewards.

However, Su Ping fell into deep thought.

Miss Qin's words still echoed in his ears.

Moreover, if his own pet beast doesn't have a chance to showcase its strength, what's the point? But, his abilities and those who might be well-prepared are indeed superior, and he must make full use of all available resources to close the gap and have a chance to compete!

At this thought, a determined look appeared in Su Ping's eyes. He really wanted to give it a try.

Therefore, he had to quickly find a way to help Xiao Qing evolve, and also make progress with Fei Fei.

Just then, his phone rang, and he was momentarily surprised.

His private phone number was known to many.

However, the caller made Su Ping pause, and he couldn't help but think of Miss Qin.

Indeed, it was Miss Qin calling him.

Why was Miss Qin calling him at this time?

But Su Ping didn't hesitate and answered the call.

"Hey, Xiao Ping! How are you doing?"

Miss Qin's voice came through the phone, still as clear and cheerful as ever.

Apparently, she was unaware of Qin Chuan's situation.

"Why are you calling so early in the morning?"

"Hehe, mainly to let you know that in about ten days, Wood Crown Wolf King will evolve! Didn't I tell you I'd let you know?

When are you planning to come to Megapolis? Originally, I wanted to come to you for the evolution, but Grandpa said you're also going to Megapolis..."

Su Ping was taken aback.

Miss Qin's Wood Crown Wolf King is about to evolve?

Didn't sleep at all last night due to insomnia, and only had a three-hour nap during the day, so the state is not good. Another chapter tomorrow during the day.
