Chapter 214: The Grand Gathering of Talents! Su Ping's Debut!

Chapter 214: The Grand Gathering of Talents! Su Ping's Debut!

Compared to the second team from the West Capital Province, their results were not as stunning as the Demon Capital Academy's, merely passable.

Their final score, compared to Ye Zhou's team, was significantly lower, only managing to reach 277 points.

This was to be expected, as the impact and achievement of perfectly cultivating a skill for a companion beast, while significant, still paled in comparison to the previous demonstration.

This Terracotta Warrior unique companion beast was quite intriguing.

The War Spirit skill was impressive, but it couldn't hold a candle to the mind-boggling effects of the Time Potion, leaving no doubt as to which was superior.

Although the value score wasn't high, and the difficulty score was even lower than that of the Time Potion,

the difficulty score was slightly more impressive, and the required resources and challenges for cultivation were relatively minor.

At this moment, sitting in the backstage room, Su Ping was deep in thought. He wondered how his Wood Core skill cultivation would fare in this competition, estimating that it might only score slightly higher than the West Capital Province team, but not by much.

He figured it would be around 300 points,

but Su Ping also knew that this score was already quite high in the context of the breeding competition, especially when comparing cultivation skills.

The effectiveness of the Wood Core skill was beyond question.

The ability of the Wood Core, when applied to ordinary Wood-type companion beasts, held unimaginable significance.

The difficulty score wouldn't be too low either, as the cultivation costs of the Wood Core were not excessive.

With a consumption of over 200,000 common elite-level resources, the value score would likely be around 60 to 70, and the difficulty score would be approximately 80 to 90.

Seeing this, Su Ping was shocked, wondering if his grandfather, Su Chongguang, was truly a genius.

Achieving a score of around 300 points in the breeding competition was already an impressive feat.

Moreover, Su Ping hadn't fully comprehended the mysterious aspects of Old Sha's body.

The Wolf King Authority, when used on wolf-type companion beasts of lower levels, was an otherworldly ability. Even Wood, who had evolved into the Crowned Wolf King, showed no signs of comprehending this skill.

Who knew how Su Ping's grandfather had cultivated it?

Su Ping shook his head and continued observing the other teams.

All the non-participating members were waiting in their respective rooms and dressing rooms.

As the second-to-last team to take the stage, it was evident that they were among the last to perform.

In fact, with a quick calculation, they wouldn't be able to compete until the afternoon session.

However, Su Ping's calmness, he was not feeling anxious at all. Instead, he was thoroughly enjoying the performances.

The results from each province over the past year were incredibly captivating.

They were all unique and fascinating cultivation outcomes.

Besides companion beast skills and potions, there were even new resource materials being grafted and cultivated, all of which had a significant impact on companion beasts.

However, by noon, over twenty teams had taken the stage, but only one had surpassed the Time Potion of Ye Zhou's team, which was the first to perform.

This was the most talked-about cultivation result of the morning session.

It came from Minyue Province.

During the legion competition, Su Ping had met a breeder from Minyue Province, but they hadn't interacted much.

Unexpectedly, in this breeding competition, Minyue Province had achieved something extraordinary, even causing a stir backstage.

Their score was a terrifying 365 points, just 35 points shy of the perfect score of 400!

It was 48 points higher than the Time Potion.

Minyue Province's cultivation result wasn't a new potion formula or a novel companion beast skill cultivation; it was the only outcome related to companion beast hybridization.

Indeed, this was the birth and cultivation of a new mutated companion beast.

According to the breeding team, they could guarantee stable new births.

This was a very special mutated companion beast.

It possessed both flying and water-based abilities!

The new mutated companion beast, named 'Skysoaring Eagle' by the Minyue Province breeders, left Su Ping perplexed.

The reason was that the breeding mother was a combination of the Water-type Commander Rank companion beast 'Black Spot Flying Fish' and the Elite Rank companion beast 'Diving Gull'.

This was absurd!

How did these breeders come up with such an idea?

These two completely unrelated creatures had produced something extraordinary.

It could dive into water, fly in the sky, and its very existence was fascinating.

It even reminded Su Ping and many others of a mythical creature from legends.

In the legends of the Dragon Kingdom, there was the Qunpeng, but its true nature in the previous life was unclear. In the current era's study of historical companion beastology, the Qunpeng was believed to have existed in ancient times.

For the Skysoaring Eagle to have a slight connection to the Qunpeng of ancient times was already an incredible feat.

One could imagine the shockwaves that the Skysoaring Eagle's appearance would cause. However, despite its impressive appearance, it also had its flaws.

If not, the significance of the emergence of a brand-new mutated beast is almost comparable to the new evolution of an origami person.

Naturally, it couldn't have just been 365 points.

First of all.

This type of mutated Skysoaring Eagle cannot reproduce and give birth to offspring on its own.

In other words, similar to the mules of the previous life, although they possess some advantages of both donkeys and horses, they lack the ability to continue breeding.

In other words, each mutated Skysoaring Eagle must be personally bred through the breeding techniques of Minyue Province.

At the same time, among the breeding requirements, there are several Commander Peak resources, which undoubtedly greatly reduce the difficulty score.

Secondly,

At the end of the day, this is just a newly bred creature,

The evolved body in Minyue Province has only grown to the Ordinary Ninth Stage, and although it has mastered some skills from both parents, the future is still uncertain. Whether there are unknown flaws is still unknown.

These are all highly probable events.

And they cannot be ignored.

Therefore, after some consideration, this mutated Skysoaring Eagle, with a value score of 196 and a difficulty score of 169, took the lead and firmly sat on the top spot in this Beastmaster Competition! It also made some of the participating Beastmasters who were scheduled to appear in the afternoon take notice.

The new breeding evolution is the highlight within the highlights of the Beastmaster Competition.

However, whether it's the Time Potion or the appearance of the Skysoaring Eagle, they all sense a certain threat.

Three hundred and sixty-five points, the top three scores from previous years, hovered around this score.

Even the first place was within this range.

In just a short morning, many Beastmasters across the Dragon Kingdom who were paying attention to the competition were engaged in heated discussions.

However, for those Beastmasters from various provinces participating in the Demon Capital TV station, it was a different story.

At this time, those who had already competed, even if their scores weren't high, had already laid down their hands.

But for those who hadn't competed yet, they naturally didn't have the leisure to discuss anything with others.

This was the case for Su Ping, Old Liu, and the others.

Su Ping even put aside his hand game. He casually ordered some takeout and ate a quick bite.

Lying on the sofa, Su Ping took out his phone and scrolled through various social media platforms. As expected, several large characters dominated the top of the trending searches on some authoritative platforms!

'Beastmaster Competition Commences, Beastmasters from Across the Nation Showcase Their Skills!'

'Skysoaring Eagle! 365 Points!'

'Minyue Province Beastmaster Association's New Achievement After Five Years of Hard Work!'

'Rare Special Mutant!'

'Time Potion, a Magical Potion that Allows One to Return to the Past!'

'...'

These trending searches were all dominated by the Beastmaster Competition that morning.

Su Ping casually clicked on a few to read the comments, which were filled with intense discussions. Among them, there were some knowledgeable commentators offering their insights:

'With my years of experience watching the Beastmaster Competition, I'd say the Skysoaring Eagle is a sure bet! It's a guaranteed top three contender, maybe even fighting for the top spot!'

'That's right! Now it's up to the Beastmasters from other provinces who have bred new evolutions in the second half of the competition.'

'It's looking good.'

'...'

Su Ping smiled slightly, but soon his eyebrows furrowed as he saw a comment under the official trending topic about the start of the Beastmaster Competition that made his eyelids twitch:

'Supporting Jianghai Province, this year's breeding results from Jianghai Province are undoubtedly the best! Beastmasters from other provinces, just wait and see!'

This message wasn't anything special.

Similar messages could be found in the comments under other trending topics.

Below, those who disagreed started arguing, each supporting their own favored teams.

As the debate heated up, it naturally became a top-rated comment.

However, what caught Su Ping's attention was the username of the commenter: Suiping Suiping.

Yes, this somewhat old-fashioned username belonged to none other than Su Ping himself!

The problem was, when did he post such a comment?

Su Ping sighed, then tapped the screen:

"Fifi, get out here!"

"Ding-dong~ Your cutest virtual assistant Fifi is here!"

A Q-version cartoon character, Fifi, appeared on the phone screen, leaving Su Ping speechless. He pointed at the comment on the platform and asked in an annoyed tone:

"Is this your doing?"

Fifi blinked, "Huh? Do you think this is a good thing too?"

"..."

Fifi then explained,

"Some guys were saying nasty things in these comment sections, targeting Jianghai Province. This time, the participants are your hard work, so Fifi must support you! Hehe, there are quite a few supporters below."

Su Ping glanced at the top-rated comment, which had accumulated over 300,000 replies in just that morning, no wonder it was the top-rated comment.

And those supporters, without a doubt, were all from Jianghai Province.

However, Su Ping didn't truly blame Fifi. Fifi's actions were well-intentioned, as she argued with clear logic, pinpointing the flaws in others' arguments, almost as if Li Shu would want to take her as a disciple.

"Aren't you playing a mobile game? How did you start engaging in these online discussions?"

2. Use the "Key Terms" for translating, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

3. Adapt the translation to the world and setting, maintaining the original intent.

4. Avoid unnecessary repetition and ensure a fluent, natural output.

Although it didn't possess the same exaggerated abilities as the Crowned Wolf King, it still utilized a 'Earth Core Magnetite', an Imperial-grade resource.

Additionally, there were six Sovereign-grade Earth and Gold element resources.

As a result, the difficulty score for this Earth Goat wasn't particularly high.

After the judges' deliberations, it ultimately received a score of 139, barely passing the threshold by 19 points.

The final total score was locked in at 313, a mere 19 points above the passing mark.

This score, not only fell short compared to the Sky Tomb Eagle from the morning session, but also lagged behind the first contestant, the Time Healing Water, by a small margin.

Evidently, the Lingnan breeding team wasn't particularly satisfied with this score.

The first contestant to take the stage in the afternoon session, a new breeding evolution, scored lower than the morning's two, although those two were indeed exceptional, they sparked ideas in many hearts.

This one, wouldn't really flop, would it?

However, the next contestant, from the Southwest Advanced Beast Taming Academy of Tianfu Province, let out a sigh of relief for those yet to perform.

This was a unique, precious beast from Tianfu Province.

A new evolution of the Iron-Eating Beast, the Giant Panda.

As one of the representatives of the Gold element beasts, the Iron-Eating Beast's production was relatively scarce, and as a unique beast of the Dragon Kingdom, it was a representative of Tianfu Province.

The Elite-grade Iron-Eating Beast's Sovereign-grade evolution:

'Kungfu Panda!'

Upon hearing this name, Su Ping almost choked on his own saliva.

But it was indeed this name.

And this Kungfu Panda's evolution was quite interesting.

The Iron-Eating Beast, a Gold element beast, primarily known for its strength and sharp claws in battle.

However, after evolution, it changed.

"Kungfu Panda, also a Gold element, Sovereign Fifth-tier potential evolution! After evolution, it possesses skills: Weapon Mastery, Invincible Body, Golden Spear Technique, Flexible Body, Golden Swallow Technique, and more! Among these, Weapon Mastery and Flexible Body allow the Kungfu Panda to wield various weapons of the human world, and our evolved beast has chosen the halberd category!"

As the breeding master from the Southwest Advanced Beast Taming Academy of Tianfu Province spoke.

A panda standing tall, almost the height of a person, with black and white patches, held a halberd, a whopping six feet long.

Su Ping was momentarily speechless.

What the heck is this?

However, this creature's performance was quite impressive.

That massive halberd, of unknown origin, when wielded, faced the skill power testing instrument, and it was on par with the Giant Ram.

But the Kungfu Panda's combat flexibility was even more outrageous than the Giant Ram.

It was understandable, although the Kungfu Panda's potential wasn't as high, if it could reach this level in its current stage, it would occupy an absolute advantage.

Moreover, in the future, with Master Zhu Hong's praising gaze, the Kungfu Panda's final value score reached a terrifying 192! Just 8 points shy of a perfect score.

If not for the consideration that the Iron-Eating Beast, although at an Elite-grade, is unique to Tianfu Province, might add a few more points.

And the Kungfu Panda's value score was still passable.

The required materials were one piece of Sovereign-grade metal and five other Commander-grade metals.

However, according to the breeding master, in the breeding of this Kungfu Panda, the material requirements weren't high, so some points were added accordingly.

In the end, the difficulty score was slightly higher than the Giant Ram.

With a score of 157, the Kungfu Panda's breeding score reached 349.

Nearly 350 points, was already impressive! But, compared to the Sky Tomb Eagle's 365, it still fell short by 16 points!

However, this was the second-place contestant so far.

The Sky Tomb Eagle's derived mutated hybrid beast was indeed a historical advancement, different from the others.

Moreover, there were still nine more to come! According to the rules of the competition, the later contestants might even surpass the previous ones.

Not to mention, just the appearance of these two new evolutions had already made the entire Dragon Kingdom quite lively.

In fact, it was understandable for the Lingnan team to feel aggrieved, because before this, no one had bred an evolution of the Giant Ram.

This Giant Ram was a unique case.

Although unique, the breeding difficulty lowered the score, but in the outside world, the Giant Ram's price had already skyrocketed.

This was just the beginning, the breeding masters' impact on the Dragon Kingdom's beast breeding ecosystem was unprecedentedly huge! In the afternoon's third round, the contestants were from the Northern Ice Advanced Beast Taming Academy, a college from the Dragon Kingdom's northeastern region,

and this new evolution was a flying beast!

A Commander-grade beast, the 'Feathered White Eagle'. But the evolution was only a Sovereign-grade.

"Feathered White Eagle, also a Gold element, Sovereign Fifth-tier potential evolution! After evolution, it possesses skills: Weapon Mastery, Flexible Body, and more! Among these, Weapon Mastery and Flexible Body, allow the Feathered White Eagle to wield various weapons from the human world, and this evolution chose the halberd category!"

The Feathered White Eagle's final score, was actually two points higher than the Kungfu Panda.

Although the Feathered White Eagle's final value score was slightly lower than the Kungfu Panda, its overall performance was still commendable.

The reason is simple; this Northern Ice Advanced Beast Taming Academy's evolution method does not require the use of Sovereign-level resources. It only needs several Commander-rank resources to achieve such a feat.

Although the Commander-rank beast cub, the Wind-Summoning Phoenix, has a relatively high difficulty of acquisition.

However, such an evolution cost provides a great choice for some small-capital Beastmasters, yet without further financial investment.

Therefore, the significance of the Wind-Summoning Phoenix is undoubtedly immense.

Obviously, during the Breeder Competition in the morning, more than twenty Breeder teams appeared, and there was still relatively ample time.

But in the afternoon, when these new evolution bodies appeared, each team's time naturally increased.

However, while watching the emergence of various new evolution bodies, Su Ping did not feel the slightest sense of time flowing swiftly.

By seeing the wonders of various local representative beasts, and also seeing the emergence of various new evolution bodies, as well as through those evolution bodies and the information revealed by the Beastmasters, to slightly speculate on the breeding process and specific methods.

For Su Ping, it is an indescribable joy.

Like the Elite-rank Water Element Sprite's Sovereign-rank evolution body: Sea Tide Sprite.

Like the Commander-rank Flame Giant's Emperor-rank evolution body: Lava Giant Lord!

...

And finally, as various evolution bodies continue to appear, each local beast appears, leaving scores, making the online community, and some corresponding Beastmasters excited, while also making countless Beastmasters interested in these kinds of beasts, continue to pay attention.

Time is also slowly moving.

Scores are also constantly updated.

Finally, seeing that the old man stood up, looking at the screen with a thoughtful expression, seemingly still immersed in the just-concluded Beastmaster Competition.

But he licked the corner of his mouth, patted the side that was equally boring, and still didn't have the sun-tanned Old Sha:

"Old Sha!"

Old Sha, a sudden jolt, stood up, then, with these three words, came from behind, even able to see the situation on the front stage, as well as the feedback of the echo in the microphone sound.

Dianzang Province Breeder Association, is before they go up.

From the back, the evolved beast's evolution body, is a relatively rare plant-type beast, a colorful mushroom.

It is obviously a poison-type beast.

If it was before, Su Ping, how could he not seriously look, this poison-type plant-type beast's evolution body is what, maybe it can give Xiao Qing's subsequent evolution, develop some brand new ideas.

But at this time, that kind of tension from the bottom of the heart, also let him take a long breath.

Su Ping raised his head, and finally discovered that even if it was Old Liu, although his expression was calm, his palms were slightly trembling, his gaze firmly fixed on the stage, but his eyes were straight, obviously without half a thought on the Dianzang Province's breeding research.

And Sun Zhaoju is even more, quickly pacing back and forth around the periphery, while preparing for the speech on the stage, while also soothing his own extremely anxious mood.

Unfortunately, he didn't relieve Su Ping, but, with these three words, Sun Zhaoju's back and forth pacing, muttering about something, Su Ping's mood became even more tense.

Continue to take a deep breath,

Then discover that there is no effect, and finally take out the phone, wanting to disperse his own attention.

Subsequently, Su Ping thought about it, and in the back, he called Su An Yong, who hadn't called in a long time.

This old thing doesn't know what he's busy with?

"Hey, Su Ping?"

Hearing Su An Yong's voice, Su Ping's heart calmed down a lot at this moment, and then he said:

"What are you doing?"

"Hey hey, and you, Second Grandpa, exchange some experience with the girls, do you want to do it together?"

Su An Yong's oily and slippery voice resounded again in the phone.

Even so, the smile is still so lewd.

If it was before, Su Ping could even automatically brain-supplement the image of a middle-aged uncle, an old white-haired man, lewdly facing each other and commenting on the live review.

If it was before, after knowing the identity of this Second Grandpa, such a brain-supplement image, obviously would not appear.

Lord Leng's image in his mind is indeed too lofty.

Let him not even think about this kind of lewd appearance.

If it was before, hearing Su An Yong's words, Su Ping would definitely not think about it and hang up.

But this time, let the Su An Yong on the other end of the phone not think of is, Su Ping slightly silent for a few seconds, then said:

"Okay, then you say it!"

This time, instead, let Su An Yong not understand.

Little Su Ping, who was only a few years old, was so naughty and unruly that he didn't want to study. Su Ping, who was busy with his work, received a call from Su An Yong, who was in the office of Lord Leng.

Su An Yong's voice came over, and Su Ping was so relaxed that he almost threw the phone away.

However, it must be said that this old thing was so distracting that Su Ping's tense mood was truly relaxed.

So, Su Ping didn't continue to talk to this unreliable old thing.

"This New Year's, can you come back?"

"Huh?" Su An Yong, who was on the phone, pretended to be confused.

Su Ping didn't care.

"New Year's Day is also the start of the breeding competition this year!"

"Oh?"

"I'm coming with Old Sha to participate. I don't care what you're busy with now, open your phone and watch the live stream!"

Su Ping's voice made Su An Yong smile.

"Okay, I got it."

"Su An Yong, I'm not joking with you. Now, open it, and you'll be surprised!"

'Beep beep beep...'

The last segment of Su Ping's voice came through, followed by the beeping sound of the call ending.

At that moment, Su An Yong, who was in Lord Leng's office, was slightly stunned.

Lord Leng glanced at him:

"What did the kid say?"

"He told me to watch the live stream, and then he said there would be a surprise!"

Su An Yong looked at Lord Leng.

"Second Uncle, didn't you investigate this kid before? What surprise did he have?"

Lord Leng narrowed his eyes, but he didn't know what Su Ping would bring out.

The reason he recognized Su Ping's breeding ability was because of what he saw when he searched for souls the last time.

Even Mu Mu, who was interested in the origami person that the kid had evolved, and as a master beastmaster of the necromancer class, Lord Leng also knew that the origami person represented a unique companion beast.

Therefore, Su Ping was quite praised.

As for the rest, Lord Leng didn't really know.

"New Year's Day is also the start of the breeding competition this year!"

Su Ping nodded, and the tension in his heart slightly eased.

Then, when the atmosphere reached its peak, Su Ping spoke up:

"Su An Yong, you know what day it is today?

```

The two hosts reappeared on the stage, hanging a passionate smile, and continued to speak:

"After sending off the teachers from Dianzang Province, next up is the breeding team from Jianghai Province! Jianghai, is an important coastal province in the Dragon Kingdom, and also the birthplace of countless unique companion beasts!

Here, countless moving stories and legendary beastmasters have been left behind. Here, various unique companion beasts are active among them!

The teachers from Jianghai Province, who have brought with them, are the new breeding evolution of the Lin Wolf: the Wood Emperor Wolf!"

"Let's welcome Vice President Liu Fuhai of the Jianghai Province Beastmaster Association, Senior Beastmaster Su Ping, and Intermediate Beastmaster Sun Zhaoju!"

With these words, the stage finally lit up.

Letting countless people hold their breath at this moment.

In various places of Jianghai, including the breeding association in Linzhou, many Wood Core people, Dong Muyun, and those who were in Lord Leng's office at this moment, were all waiting for this moment.

Accompanied by the host's voice on the stage, the people from the Dianzang Province breeding team looked at each other and smiled, while many were surprised to look at Lord Leng, who was in the office, with an ancient and strange appearance.

Finally, facing the faint music, the two hosts walked through the dark corridor of the stage, and came to the stage where countless spotlights were focused!

The chapter is divided here.
