Chapter 193: Sage Sang's Recruitment! The Wolf King Cultivation Method!

Chapter 193: Sage Sang's Recruitment! The Wolf King Cultivation Method!

People, so many people.

All kinds of people.

At this moment, as Su Ping stepped out of the trial arena, he felt like he wasn't a person but some rare and exotic Companion Beast, surrounded and gawked at in a cage.

In fact, Su Ping's thoughts weren't far off.

Because at this moment, for those surrounding him outside, seeing the figure that emerged from within, he was even rarer than a giant panda from his previous life.

Nonsense, what normal person could reach the fifteenth wave in the Elite Rank?!

Since the establishment of Demon Capital Academy and the appearance of the Trial Tower, they had never heard of such a thing.

And most importantly, at this moment, standing at the forefront of the crowd, the first to see the figure that emerged, they could only exclaim.

This was indeed not a human!

If the person who came out was in their twenties or even younger, and had been immersed in the Elite Rank for countless years, perhaps they would feel a bit more balanced.

They could convince themselves that the person before them was just old in age but lacked the necessary mental strength for meditation.

However, the figure that emerged was clearly younger than all of them.

Looking at his youthful yet handsome face, and his astonished and dazed gaze, many of them were reminded of their own eighteenth birthdays.

Unfortunately, at that age, they were still rejoicing over finding suitable Companion Beast contracts and celebrating their rank promotions.

Some were even thrilled to have finally held hands with their crushes.

Yet, this young man, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, had casually broken a record that had stood at the Demon Capital Academy for an unknown number of years.

Even Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiao Xiao were in awe.

They exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

They never expected that Miss Qin would have such a young partner.

However, it was undeniable that Su Ping's first visit to the Demon Capital Academy had caused such a stir, and he indeed deserved Miss Qin's favor.

But just as everyone wanted to take a closer look, a blurry spatial fluctuation appeared once more.

The figure of Su Ping, who had just stepped out, had already disappeared from sight.

"Damn, where did he go?"

"How did he leave?"

"I haven't even seen what this immortal looks like!"

The spatial fluctuation vanished, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Not only were they stunned, but Su Ping himself was also momentarily dazed.

Were space-type Companion Beasts so common?

As he looked around, sure enough, the mechanical passage had disappeared.

The distant sunset and swaying willow branches indicated that he had left the Trial Tower.

In the distance, a figure seemed to sense the return of its young master and ran over with its short tail wagging.

Old Sha.

This must be the residence of Sage Sang.

After all, they had sent Old Sha here before circling the Demon Capital Academy.

Which meant...

Sure enough, Su Ping looked towards the area with the spatial fluctuation.

Three figures appeared alongside him once more.

The woman's gaze fixed intently on Su Ping, not blinking.

Strictly speaking, this was their first real meeting.

However, in the previous videos, the woman had seen Su Ping several times.

But this time, she seemed to truly recognize the young man before her.

The appearance of this young man had caused her judgment to falter.

Her confident prediction of five to six waves had gone awry.

No, it wasn't just 'some' error.

If the difference between the fifth wave and the fifteenth wave could be considered a minor error, then there would be no major data mistakes in the world.

However, the woman showed no anger; instead, she stared intently at Su Ping.

Su Ping felt a bit awkward under her scorching gaze.

She was truly eager to see what other surprises this young man had in store.

Greeting the three, Su Ping, as the junior, showed respect and said after regaining his composure:

"Greetings, Senior Sage Sang!"

He bowed slightly and then took out a small box.

It was a bit embarrassing to say, but Dong Muchuan had helped him obtain this item.

Moreover, it was done using the sexual intercourse between a man and a woman.

A box of precious tea leaves of the Sovereign Grade.

Although this was insignificant to the woman before him,

But when giving gifts to elders, especially those of such status, it's the thought that counts.

Sure enough, a faint smile appeared on the woman's lips as she took the box, glanced at it, and said:

"You and Old Qin have similar tastes. If you enjoy tea, I'll send you some of the Spirit Infused Ancient Tea when it's ready."

Su Ping's eyes lit up as he heard this. "In that case, I, the junior, shall respectfully follow your instructions."

He loved drinking tea, especially tea leaves like the Spirit-Infused Ancient Tea.

The small amount that Qin Xiaoxue had given him, he couldn't bear to drink much of it himself. After Su An Yong returned, he somehow managed to find it and took it all.

Su Ping felt a twinge of anger every time he thought about it.

Su An Yong had his own explanation. After drinking it once, the tea enhanced the effects of meditation, but subsequent drinks didn't have much effect.

However, Su Ping's smile froze when he saw Qinyi standing beside him.

Qinyi gave Su Ping a teasing glance. "You like drinking tea?"

This guy liked drinking tea? On the Cloud Ascension, while the other three were drinking tea, he was drinking cola? But at this moment, she naturally wouldn't point out such a minor detail.

Sage Sang didn't seem to mind either.

Her cheeks showed no signs of aging.

Yet, there was an indescribable sense of vicissitude about her.

On the contrary, her demeanor seemed youthful, and one could feel a vibrant aura just by getting close to her.

This feeling was the exact opposite of Leng Ye.

Leng Ye's appearance was extremely handsome, and even compared to Su Ping's age, he didn't seem much older.

However, his demeanor gave off an extremely aged vibe.

He seemed like a withering, decaying life form on the brink of death.

Were all beings who reached such a realm this bizarre?

Su Ping didn't know, after all, he had only encountered two beings of this caliber.

The woman didn't seem to mind Su Ping's gaze. Her eyes shifted slightly, focusing on Old Sha, who was standing beside Su Ping.

Old Sha had been standing tall and proud.

He was brought by his young master.

He couldn't let his young master down.

He represented the Heart of Wood.

When Qin Xiaoxue first arrived at the Heart of Wood, he had seen her.

He didn't know much about Qin Xiaoxue, but he did know that this time, she had come to meet the family of Qin Xiaoxue.

So, as family, he couldn't lose face!

Old Sha tried his best to stand tall, facing the woman's probing gaze and the terrifying aura that felt even more clear and distinct to him, like a bottomless abyss or an inescapable prison.

The woman smiled slightly, reaching out to ruffle Old Sha's head, especially the Y-shaped horns on his head.

Feeling her touch, Old Sha closed his eyes in contentment, sticking out his tongue.

What a good boy! A Sovereign Grade 'Dragon Eye Fruit', this should be the most luxurious tree fruit, right? Under Su Ping's disdainful gaze, Old Sha closed his eyes in contentment, swallowing the Dragon Eye Fruit in one go?

"Is this evolved form of the Forest Wolf the Thousand Wood Wolf?"

The woman looked at Old Sha with interest, asking a question she already knew the answer to.

But soon, her eyes narrowed slightly.

The aura around Old Sha was extremely unique, and she couldn't help but understand.

It was true!

Old Qin hadn't lied.

Not only the woman, but even Qin Xiaoxue, who was standing beside her, looked at Old Sha with curiosity. Then, she took a step forward and slapped Su Ping's shoulder, "You, after not seeing you for half a year, you've become so amazing? Also, have you made a fortune by breeding pets? Tell me about it!"

Su Ping shrugged helplessly. After half a year, this Miss Qin was still as straightforward as ever.

But surprisingly, her words also made the woman shift her gaze from Old Sha to Su Ping.

She stopped staring at Old Sha with interest and turned to look at Su Ping.

However, at this moment, Qinyi reacted, "Xiaoxue, let's go inside and talk."

Su Ping nodded and finally entered the Dean's room.

"Quickly, that guy Ye Zhou's record has been broken by you. Has your Xiao Qing grown to this extent?"

Qin Xiaoxue, of course, knew about Xiao Qing.

Su Ping shook his head, "It's not Xiao Qing, it's my second companion beast."

"Second companion beast?"

The three of them were stunned.

This meant that Su Ping had contracted this companion beast after reaching the Elite Rank, further reducing the already compressed time.

In just a few months, he had bred this companion beast to this level?

The woman was also curious and asked, "Is it that Necrotic Lineage Companion Beast of yours? What makes a Necrotic Companion Beast so powerful?"

"It's an origami man."

Su Ping smiled slightly and then, as a matter of course, enjoyed the trio's astonishment.

"An origami man? The shame of the Necrotic Lineage?"

This title, the shame of the Necrotic Lineage, was too well-known!

However, if it were anyone else, he would have hidden some of the origami man's secrets, but facing the woman before him, he could reveal a thing or two. Moreover, there was another reason; Su Ping believed that she had the ability to see the methods used in the recent Trial Tower battle. So, he decided to be straightforward:

"Senior, I've only informed you three, and no one else knows about this!"

Seeing Su Ping's serious expression, even the woman raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had realized something, and then she glanced at the two people beside her:

"A-Qin, go and bring the recording of Trial Chamber 21, and at the same time, delete all video records using my authority!"

"Yes!"

Qinyi didn't wait to hear the rest of the conversation and quickly left, heading back to the Trial Tower.

Qin Xiaoxue even wanted to stand up, but Su Ping quickly said:

"No need, Qin Xiaoxue is one of us."

Qin Xiaoxue first glared at him, clearly dissatisfied with his persistent use of this nickname. But the smile that lifted the corners of her mouth revealed her true thoughts.

The woman also smiled slightly and then said, "Now you can tell us."

Su Ping's expression turned serious again:

"My origami man is a mutated form, created from a special mutation using a Holy Spirit Grade Soul Seed and the origin of Holy Spirit Grade Sword Intent, left behind in the secret realm of the Sword King Yu Liangqing of Fengdu."

"Oh..."

Both of them were stunned.

There was no way around it; the Holy Spirit Grade resources were a huge draw.

However, this wasn't the most important part.

The real bombshell was yet to come.

"The origami man I've contracted with, through my research, has revealed some of the origami man's secrets, and I've developed several brand-new evolutions for the origami man!"

"..."

Silence filled the air, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet. Qin Xiaoxue didn't seem to be deeply affected.

New evolutions were indeed important and eye-catching, but for the countless Companion Beasts in Longguo, it didn't seem like a big deal.

However, at this moment, Sang Sheng pursed her lips and looked at Su Ping with a complicated expression. After a while, she asked:

"These so-called several evolutions of the origami man, do they have the potential for further evolution?"

She emphasized the word 'several' in her question.

And this was the most crucial question.

If it were just an evolution similar to the armored paper man, then such an evolution would hold no significance?

But Su Ping nodded firmly:

"I can assure you that not only is there potential for further evolution, but the potential is so vast that it surpasses any other Companion Beast evolution I've seen!"

Sang Sheng seemed a little lost.

Any evolution?

She didn't quite understand.

Compared to the Thousand Wood Wolf, which could cultivate super-tier skills, was this evolution even more significant? What kind of evolution was it?

As if sensing her question, Su Ping smiled and said:

"This type of evolution requires..."

"Stop!"

As Su Ping was about to speak, the woman interrupted him with a firm tone.

She looked at Su Ping seriously:

"Su Ping, this is your breeding achievement. Before you make it public, there's no need to disclose everything to others!"

Su Ping was taken aback. He hadn't expected the senior, Sang Sheng, to speak up like this.

He trusted her.

After all, with Cold Grandpa as his backer, he could afford to be a little bolder than before.

In fact, the origami man's evolution would eventually be made public, as more and more people would notice the clues as the little paper man fought in front of others.

Moreover, Su Ping didn't intend to hide it.

The more people researched the origami man, the more combinations and assemblies they could develop, and the greater the potential of the origami man would become.

As the true breeder and developer of this Companion Beast type, Su Ping could empathize with his grandfather Su Zhongguang's feelings for the Forest Wolf.

He genuinely wanted the origami man to become better and better.

Not only did he want to shed the title of 'The Shame of the Necrotic Lineage,' but he also wanted it to become the 'Strongest of the Necrotic Lineage!' After all, this was a relatively unique Companion Beast with infinite potential.

As if sensing Su Ping's thoughts, the woman in front of him sighed softly and then suddenly asked:

"Xiao Ping, do you want to study at the Demon Capital Academy?"

Su Ping was taken aback by this sudden question, and Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside him, was also surprised. Qin Xiaoxue looked at Su Ping expectantly.

But soon, Su Ping shook his head, disappointing Qin Xiaoxue's gaze:

"Senior Sang Sheng, I do want to return to campus, but my family business needs my attention, and my father is not around, so I can't just abandon it."

The woman smiled and didn't mind.

For a genius like Su Ping, it's not that he needs the school, but rather the academy needs him.

As for such research results, the old woman dared not even think about it.

The Origami Man, a well-studied basic Companion Beast among the Necrotic Lineage, but this young man before her claimed to have cultivated and evolved it into an unprecedented form.

Moreover, the potential of this evolved form was so high, and its development space so vast, that it was hard to imagine.

Naturally, these achievements belonged to Su Ping, but if they could be associated with a student of the Demon Capital Beastmaster Academy, it would greatly benefit the academy.

Of course, all of this was based on Su Ping's claim that the Origami Man could indeed achieve such effects.

Su Ping wasn't lying; he was indeed very interested in the Demon Capital Academy.

However, only with his own Heart of Wood could he freely interact with the numerous rare resources and fully utilize the potential of the Divine Bestiary.

Perhaps he could do it at the academy, but it wouldn't be as free.

He didn't lack those rare resources at the moment, so there was no need to bother.

Sage Sang spoke again:

"Xiao Ping, you came to the Demon Capital this time to participate in this year's Breeder Championship, right? Are you planning to announce the evolved form of the Origami Man during the competition?"

Su Ping scratched his head. If possible, he would still have additional research results to participate in the Breeder Championship.

However, the matter of the Special Beastmaster Unit made him hesitant to reveal his full capabilities just yet.

So, in response to Sage Sang's question, Su Ping shook his head:

"This time, I'm mainly entering the Thousand Wood Wolf for the competition!"

"Oh?"

The old woman smiled slightly, her eyes gleaming with a hint of light.

Then, she said with a smile:

"It seems you have great confidence in that Thousand Wood Wolf! And rightly so, because...

This time, you should also pay close attention to Xiaoxue's Wood's evolution into the Crowned Wolf King."

"Even if you didn't mention it, I would have done so. To be honest, I'm also very interested in the evolution of the Crowned Wolf King."

He wasn't lying; he was genuinely curious about the known highest evolution of the Forest Wolf, the only Imperial Peak form.

The old woman looked at the unassuming young man before her with growing satisfaction.

"Su Ping, would you like to become a visiting professor in the breeding department at the Demon Capital Academy?"

"Huh?"

Not only Su Ping but also Qin Xiaoxue, who was standing beside him, exclaimed in surprise as they turned to look at the old woman.

Su Ping blinked.

Could this be possible? Could he become a teacher without even being a student first?

Noticing their astonishment, the old woman chuckled, "What's the matter? You little one, you've not only bred a brand new evolution of the Forest Wolf, but you've also developed a Super Skill! You're already at the threshold of becoming a Master Breeder!

Not to mention the yet-to-be-seen evolved Origami Man, and the ancient elixirs you created in Linzhou are more than enough to qualify you as a visiting professor in the breeding department. It's just a bit rushed, and some might criticize the haste."

Su Ping's eyelid twitched, but he paid no attention to the old woman's words.

Instead, he focused on one thing: the ancient elixirs from Linzhou? Although he didn't hide it, his interest was evident from his fluttering eyelashes.

The old woman seemed to know that these elixirs were a result of Su Ping's collaboration with Dong Muchuan.

However, she didn't seem to mind Su Ping's reaction and continued as if it were a passing thought: "Never mind, this isn't something to rush. I might have been a bit too eager. Don't take it to heart."

Su Ping could only smile awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Senior, may I see the evolution and cultivation method of the Crowned Wolf King?"

The old woman nodded. "Of course, but it's with Xiaoxue. You two can discuss it at your leisure. I'll go meditate for a while. At 7 o'clock, we'll go upstairs for dinner."

After saying this, she went upstairs.

Only Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue remained.

In their company, Qin Xiaoxue's previous boisterousness faded, and after a brief silence, she took out a scroll of parchment from her Beast Control Space:

"Here, this is the evolution and cultivation method of the Crowned Wolf King!"

Su Ping didn't hesitate.

His purpose for coming here was to obtain this very method.

Initially, he wanted Wood to evolve and gain experience for the Divine Bestiary, but now that he had ample experience, he was purely interested in the Crowned Wolf King.
