Chapter 196: Woody's Challenge! Xiao Qing's Evolution Begins!
"The Villa District of Demon Capital Academy, with a cost of three thousand credits for eligibility to live here, is quite valuable. Not many people can afford to spend their credits this way."
As they rode their Forest Wolves back to their residence, Qin Xiaoxue explained enthusiastically.
Indeed, her words were true.
The area was located near a massive lake. Under the moonlight, the lake's reflection created an especially serene atmosphere.
Although situated in the outskirts of Demon Capital, it was only natural for the Academy to occupy such a large area, providing an ideal environment for its students.
Under the credit system, the competition for status was somewhat mitigated in society, but within the elite Demon Capital Advanced Academy, which cultivated high-level Beastmasters, the status gap due to strength was inevitable.
Seeing Su Ping's silence, Qin Xiaoxue glanced at Old Sha:
"Is this the evolved form of the Thousand Wood Wolf?"
Su Ping nodded, snapped out of his thoughts, and smiled, ruffling Old Sha's head.
Qin Xiaoxue sighed, "I wonder if Woody will be as powerful as your evolved form after his evolution."
Su Ping glanced at Woody, the little guy still exuded arrogance, but showed no resistance towards Su Ping, instead, he seemed quite affectionate.
However, seeing Old Sha walking alongside, towering two heads higher, Woody couldn't help but display a challenging demeanor.
Hearing Qin Xiaoxue's words, Woody let out a loud howl, clearly dissatisfied with his owner's lack of trust in him.
Su Ping smiled, "The Crowned Wolf King's race level is higher than the Thousand Wood Wolf, but to say that after evolution, it will definitely be stronger than Old Sha is unlikely! After all, Old Sha is already a Sovereign Rank Companion Beast."
"Sovereign!"
Qin Xiaoxue was taken aback, then looked at Old Sha, who straightened his spine.
"Awooo!"
The howl didn't come from Old Sha but from Woody beside him.
Obviously, the little guy was discontent with Su Ping's lack of faith in him, even challenging.
Especially now, with the Thorned Crown atop his head, a crown woven from thorns, as if it were a symbol of royalty.
Hearing this howl filled with indignation and provocation, Su Ping also smiled.
This little guy was quite unyielding?
Su Ping looked at the little guy, "What's wrong? Do you think it's because Old Sha's rank is higher than yours, otherwise, if you were of the same rank, he might not even be your match?"
"Awooo!"
Woody's neck raised high, and under the moonlight and streetlights, the yellow-jade-like Thorned Crown atop his head shone brilliantly.
Old Sha shook his neck, also looking at the little guy beside him.
No, this little guy was a distant relative, with a difference of a billion points.
Old Sha glanced at his little great-grandson, snorting loudly, the meaning was clear.
Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue exchanged glances, both with smiles in their eyes.
Then, the two arrived at Su Ping's villa.
This villa district, which required three thousand credits to stay, was naturally exceptional.
A high-level Companion Beast battle training room was also available.
Indeed, since Woody was unyielding, Su Ping didn't mind letting Old Sha teach this little guy some manners.
"Old Sha, control your energy at Leader Rank One!"
"Awooo!"
Woody was ready for action.
Looking at Old Sha before him, his eyes gleamed with excitement!
He was no longer the same!
The current him, had broken through the race limit, breaking the race's restrictions,
and at the same time, mastered the Thorned Crown, his application of this powerful imperial resource had reached an extremely proficient level.
"Awooo!"
Woody's eyes shone with determination, then, the Thorned Crown atop his head lit up,
Old Sha shook his neck, also looking at the little guy beside him.
A wooden spear suddenly appeared, aiming directly at Old Sha.
However, in less than 0.2 seconds, the wooden spear, as sturdy as steel, transformed into a limp noodle, its rigidity gone.
Right before their eyes, the wooden spear softened in mid-air.
The once intimidating Woody, now looked dejected, lying on the ground, his entire body trembling slightly.
"Woody..." Qin Xiaoxue exclaimed, speaking without thinking. She then realized that Woody was unharmed, and his reaction was purely out of fear and submission towards Old Sha.
Woody's eyes, filled with fear and grievance, spoke volumes:
Despicable!
So despicable!
He actually used Wolf King Authority!
Cheating! This is cheating!
Old Sha, seemingly aware of Woody's indignation, strolled casually to his side, even circling him once.
This was humiliation!
Woody was furious.
But then, the terrifying authority from within his soul suppressed him once more.
This was too unreasonable.
The Wolf King Authority skill, a skill of Wolf Companion Beasts, should not have such an effect on lower-ranked Wolf Companion Beasts!
What's more, how could this former Forest Wolf have learned this skill?
Woody, feeling aggrieved, turned to Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping for help:
"Woof!"
Rematch! Rematch!
Unfair! Unfair!
Watching Woody, nearly rolling his eyes under the suppression of Old Sha's Wolf King Authority, Su Ping couldn't help but laugh:
"Alright, Old Sha, no more Wolf King Authority."
"Woof!"
Old Sha didn't mind.
He retreated to his original position.
But in Old Sha's eyes, Woody saw disdain and arrogance.
Woody had never endured such humiliation.
So, as the effect of Wolf King Authority gradually faded, Woody stood up again.
The Thorned Crown on his head glowed with a yellow jade-like radiance, and in the next moment, wooden spears, vines, and even thorny vines, enveloped the entire arena.
However, Old Sha's gaze remained calm.
Then, Woody's gaze shifted from anger to shock.
Gigantic trees sprouted instantly.
Even though Woody's energy level was only at the Leader Rank, far from the Forest Sea Mystic Zone, the arena was now filled with a sea of branches.
The thorns, vines, and wooden walls were kept at bay, and the trees seemed to exert an inexplicable absorbing force, drawing the vines and thorns into the trees.
Then, on the branches, thorny branches appeared.
The trees, using the Language of Nature, absorbed and controlled the wooden plants!
And so, Woody, who had just regained his composure, was easily subdued again.
Both being Wood-type Companion Beasts, and even though Su Ping had bred them, even at the same rank,
even with Woody's power from the Thorned Crown fusion,
he was still far inferior.
"Woof!"
Bound by branches and lifted into the air, Woody's life magnetic field was greatly weakened, and he no longer had the vigor he had before.
"Alright, Old Sha!"
Old Sha had no intention of harming the little guy, just wanted to show him who's boss.
Old Sha, in his old age, could still eat two big buckets of tree fruit!
His body swayed slightly, and the endless forest sea disappeared without a trace, while Woody fell from the sky.
"Woof..."
Woody ran straight to Qin Xiaoxue's side, whimpering.
Looking at her Forest Wolf, Qin Xiaoxue couldn't help but laugh:
"It was you who provoked him, and now that you can't beat him, you come to me?"
"Woof!"
Woody looked aggrieved.
Old Sha, who was already in the twilight of his life, had improved more in half a year than Woody had in all his life.
"Alright, alright, Old Sha has already evolved, and you're still in the process of evolving. With Su Ping's help, your evolution will speed up significantly. It should be just a matter of days now!"
"Woof!"
Woody felt it too. His body was calling out, his bloodline's call growing stronger, summoning a greater power.
As long as he evolved...
As long as he completed his evolution, he would get his revenge on Old Sha!
With this thought, Woody resolutely left his owner's embrace, wagging his tail flatteringly as he approached Su Ping.
It turns out that humans are truly formidable, capable of enhancing Old Deng's strength so significantly in such a short time.
Unfortunately, his master isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, choosing to seek out that human breeder, Old Deng, for his evolution instead of a more capable one.
Woody didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from being affectionate and fawning towards Su Ping.
Su Ping couldn't help but chuckle at Woody's over-enthusiastic licking. He wondered why he hadn't noticed earlier that this little guy was such a character.
Old Sha, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind.
"It's good that the young ones are eager to challenge themselves."
Moreover, since they were close to his little master, they were considered family.
"Alright, you've been busy all day. Take a rest, and I'll be on my way."
"I'll walk you out."
Su Ping quickly stepped out, but Qin Xiaoxue waved her hand, looking embarrassed.
"No need, it's not that far anyway..."
Then, to Su Ping's bewildered gaze, Qin Xiaoxue didn't take the main road. Instead, she led Woody back to the wall, leaped over it, and landed on the wall of the neighboring villa, not far away.
Su Ping blinked, watching Qin Xiaoxue waving from atop the wall.
He finally realized that Sage Sang hadn't been lying; his residence was indeed not arranged by Sage Sang.
However, he didn't dwell on it. As he watched Qin Xiaoxue leap down from the wall like a child, he returned to his room in the villa with a spring in his step.
Indeed, a lot had happened in just one day.
On his first day at the Demon Capital Academy, he had already made a name for himself, it seemed.
But at that moment, after Su Ping finished washing up and sat down, he didn't dwell on that thought. Instead, a flash of light appeared, and a figure materialized in the room.
"Woof..."
Xiao Qing's call was deep and resonant.
Her emerald green fur shone like jade in the dimly lit room.
Xiao Qing nuzzled Su Ping's palm with her head, relishing the warmth of her master's hand, clearly showing her affection.
Su Ping smiled and ruffled Xiao Qing's head, who had now reached the Elite Sixth Rank. It wasn't far from what Rong Qiu had mentioned about Xiao Qing's evolution, which would be discussed once she reached the Elite Eighth Rank or higher.
However, Su Ping didn't care much about ranks.
Even the promises made by the Rong family held little weight in his heart.
From the very beginning, Su Ping had trusted only himself.
After witnessing the evolution and cultivation of the Crowned Wolf King and gaining a better understanding of it, Su Ping had a clearer vision for Xiao Qing's vague evolution.
With Old Sha and countless other Forest Wolves, there was no need for Xiao Qing to continue specializing in the Wood element.
On the contrary, the Wood and Poison elements could form a perfect combination, as evidenced by Xiao Qing's skill 'Poison Blossom' being able to activate with the 'Tree Prison' of the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf.
With sufficient energy, it could even evolve from 'Tree Realm Descent' to 'Flower Tree Realm Descent'.
Su Ping didn't need to think much about energy attributes; his focus at this moment was on the form, shape, and core skills of evolution.
The elemental evolution of the Spirit Wolf had given him a great inspiration.
Elemental transformation was extremely valuable and practical.
Xiao Qing's future didn't have to be like Qian Yi's, fighting solo. Instead, she could be a powerful asset in group battles, significantly boosting the overall combat strength.
Elemental transformation ensured basic survival and adaptability.
Therefore, Su Ping wanted to preserve this ability as much as possible.
At the same time, the clone skill was indeed a skill with great potential.
Moreover, Su Ping was curious about the combination of elemental transformation and clone skills. What kind of unique synergy could they create?
However, Su Ping knew that realizing this idea would be no easy task.
The evolution and cultivation of the Crowned Wolf King had given him great inspiration, but it wasn't enough to completely outline Xiao Qing's mutated evolution.
With this in mind, Su Ping showed no signs of rest. He patted Xiao Qing's head and then went straight to the computer, opening the Breeder Association's backend network.
He began searching for information related to clone skills and the intricacies of elemental transformation.
