Chapter 2: The Mutant Toxic Attribute Wolf and the True Eye!
Chapter 2: The Mutant Toxic Attribute Wolf and the True Eye!
Before Su Ping stood a little wolf pup.
This was not unexpected for Su Ping.
The Heart of Wood was primarily known for breeding these wolf pups.
However, Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed as he instantly noticed something peculiar about this pup; it did not seem like an ordinary wolf.
The Wolf, a beast with elite-level racial potential, was a rare companion.
On Bluestar, beasts, beastmasters, and resources were categorized into ordinary, elite, overlord, monarch, emperor, sage, legendary, and mythic ranks.
Each beast had corresponding evolution methods and channels discovered by beastmasters.
Generally, without evolution, the racial potential of a beast was its maximum limit.
In other words, under normal circumstances, without the right connections and resources for evolution, the natural growth limit of a wolf was the elite rank.
But in this vast world, anything could happen, and rare occurrences were not uncommon.
This was known as bloodline mutation.
Typically, wolf cubs had predominantly grayish-yellow fur, only turning bluish-green during their growth or adulthood.
However, the cub lying in the automatic milk feeder was entirely different.
Its body was emerald green, and at first glance, it seemed less like a living creature and more like a jade-carved masterpiece.
Round, pitch-black eyes gazed at Su Ping, who was observing from outside the box, emitting a 'whine' sound.
Su Ping chuckled and immediately called his father.
"Hey, Su Ping? Are you home?" came the cheerful voice of his father, Su An Yong.
"Yeah, what's up with this little wolf?" asked Su Ping.
Su Ping didn't bother asking his father how he could just leave the breeding base to him or why he left without saying goodbye to find a stepmother.
After all these years, he had long since gotten used to his father's ways.
"Hehe, do you think I'd cheat my own son? This little wolf has a bloodline mutation. Its Wood attribute bloodline has purified, gaining a Toxic attribute.
If cultivated in this direction, it might possess both Wood and Toxic attributes in the future.
I refused an offer of 12 million, so how could I sell it? I need a first contract beast for my son's beastmaster awakening, and as a father, I can't let you down..."
Su Ping hung up the phone, his eyes now shining with excitement.
A mutant toxic attribute wolf? Now, this was interesting.
While not as rare as mental, spatial, or temporal attribute beasts, toxic attribute beasts were still considered uncommon.
His father had surprisingly made a sensible decision for once! With this thought, Su Ping didn't hesitate. His classmates had already formed their first beast contracts, and he was the only one still undecided.
The wolf, a creature he had grown up with, was an excellent choice, especially with its toxic attribute mutation.
The soul contract slowly connected with the little wolf cub before him.
The newborn cub showed no resistance.
In less than ten minutes, Su Ping opened his eyes and looked at the little guy in front of him.
At the same time, inside the incubator, through the glass cover, the little wolf also opened its eyes and looked at Su Ping.
In that moment of eye contact, an indescribable sense of closeness seemed to emanate from their souls.
The soul contract connection was, after all, the most intimate bond.
As Su Ping established a contract with the little wolf before him, its body visibly grew slightly stronger in that instant.
This was the bond and connection between a Beastmaster and their Companion Beast.
The Beastmaster's mental power could facilitate the growth and advancement of their Companion Beast, and in turn, the Beast's breakthrough and progress would also enhance the Beastmaster's realm through their soul connection.
They were truly complementary to each other.
Su Ping reached out and took the little wolf out of the incubator. Its emerald green body was incredibly soft, but instead of the expected warmth of a living creature, it felt slightly cool to the touch.
"With your appearance, I'll call you Xiao Qing," Su Ping said, not particularly skilled at naming. His Companion Beast was unique to him.
Xiao Qing seemed to respond to Su Ping's words, opening its mouth to reveal a pink tongue and emitting a howl that sounded slightly odd due to its still-maturing vocal cords.
Su Ping smiled faintly.
However, just at that moment, he suddenly froze.
In his mind, the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, which had not changed since his awakening, opened slowly without his control for the first time.
Amidst the rustling pages, it quickly settled on a specific page. The image on the page depicted a fully grown, quintessential Lin Wolf.
Simultaneously, a line of text appeared on the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits in front of Su Ping.
【'Lin Wolf' entry unlocked. Current Catalog Level: 1. Obtain Source Reward: True Eye】
【True Eye (Beastmaster Ability): Able to discern the Companion Beast's condition through mental power】
Huh?!
Before Su Ping could even react, he felt a mysterious influx of information from the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits.
While the True Eye wasn't an overpowered Beastmaster talent, it was still one of the most common talents. Approximately half of all Beastmasters possessed either the talent for quick recovery or communication with their Companion Beast.
Regardless of its commonality, this was a genuine Beastmaster talent with no known acquisition method.
Su Ping had initially imagined that the Book's rewards would be limited to special resources, perhaps unique evolution plans for Companion Beasts, or something else entirely.
But he had never expected that the very first reward from unlocking an entry would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
With this realization, Su Ping stroked Xiao Qing in his arms as he eagerly turned his attention to the now-unlocked 'Lin Wolf' entry.
