Chapter 216: The Shock of a Super Skill!
Chapter 216: The Shock of a Super Skill!
Silence.
At this moment, in the competition hall, everyone was silent.
The judges' eyes held a sense of bewilderment, and they stared at each other, momentarily thinking they had misheard.
A super skill?
For ordinary people, a super skill is just a powerful skill that is slightly stronger than the abilities of common companion beasts.
In essence, there didn't seem to be much difference in understanding.
But at this moment, all the judges present knew exactly what this represented.
It represented the pinnacle of companion beast abilities and hinted at a touch of the realm and achievements of a breeding master!
And now, a recent graduate had made it to the stage of the highest breeding competition in the province, which was already unbelievable and defied common sense.
The evolved creature he bred was extraordinary,
But now, this unexpected young man suddenly told them that he had another surprise in store.
Backstage, on either side of the dark corridor.
All the members of the Huaiyang Province Breeder Association watched the silence on the stage, and not a sound escaped their lips.
At this moment, others might have been indifferent, but Ding Yan felt like thunder had struck, roaring in his ears.
He recalled the light wave that the final Wood Sage Wolf had emitted back when he was in the legion.
When he had told his Legion Leader Han about it, the latter had thought it was a skill with a huge cost, and using it might result in a severely injured state.
But now, it seemed their estimation had been off.
And it was a serious mistake.
However, Ding Yan would never blame Leader Han for his limited knowledge.
Because no one would have thought of this possibility!
A super skill!
How could it possibly appear in a newly bred Monarch-rank Forest Wolf's evolved form?
But here, everyone understood that Su Ping wouldn't joke around with them.
Northern Province
Su Anyong and Lord Leng rested their chins on their hands.
One sat in a chair, the other on a sofa, both staring at the screen without blinking, watching the little guy on the screen who seemed incredibly calm as he spoke words that were shocking to hear.
Neither of them was ordinary, and they both understood the significance of a super skill.
But at this moment, they shared the same reaction as the judges sitting there, slightly stunned.
Bewilderment.
Initially, Su Anyong was utterly bewildered.
The last time he went back, this little rascal had claimed to be a breeder, not only perfecting the Wood Core breeding potion left by the old man but also extending Old Sha's life with it.
Over time, Su Anyong's pupils had even begun to lose focus.
Solar Heart, what kind of skill was this? What kind of super skill was it?
However, Lord Leng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, he knew that it was not right to scold Su Ping. As an elder, he should have been the first to help this unmanageable young man.
But what kind of super skill was this? Lord Leng was curious, as anyone would be.
At this moment, not only them but everyone who had been watching the breeding competition all day long had the same thought.
Solar Heart, what kind of skill was this?
However, just as this thought emerged, the screen suddenly went blank, leaving only the buzzing sound of static.
After less than five seconds, the static and scrambled images disappeared, replaced by an advertisement of a woman feeding a Windchaser Dog with a dog food package:
"Woof Woof Gift Pack, the ultimate gift for your beloved dog, rich in various nutrients beneficial to your furry friend..."
Bewildered, all the viewers were momentarily stunned, and then they reacted, cursing out loud:
"What the heck? Did they cut the feed?"
"Is the Magic Capital TV station going out of business? Can't they be less annoying?"
"I said it before, all the previous competitions were held in the Imperial Capital. This time, they moved it to the Magic Capital, and now they're cutting to an ad? Don't they know it's bad luck to do this during a competition?"
"Damn, I'm blocking this Woof Woof Gift Pack..."
"Wait, what was that super skill?"
"This isn't a regular ad break; the production team cut the signal on purpose."
Amidst the chorus of curses, there were those who understood what had just happened.
They had a clear understanding of the situation.
"Exactly, a super skill? Why would there be a super skill?"
"Is this super skill that powerful? Isn't it just skill-based breeding? Didn't someone say that skill-based breeding isn't that impressive in breeder competitions?"
"You can think of it like this: in your initial profession assessment, an Imperial-grade Beastmaster has shown up."
"..."
"Huh??"
"..."
"It's understandable. The effects and specific abilities of a super skill cannot be exposed during the breeding competition, so it's normal for the program to cut the live feed at this point."
"Damn, I get the logic, but it's still frustrating. One day, with a blade in hand, I'll slay all the scum!"
"I've got a question. This super skill, can Su Ping and the Jianghai Breeder Association help me breed it? I've just reached the Overlord Rank, and I haven't decided on my third companion beast yet... I'm interested in a Forest Wolf."
"It's highly unlikely. And trust me, even if a super skill could be bred, it's definitely not something an ordinary beastmaster could afford."
"..."
A chorus of curses echoed across the Dragon Kingdom, while many others were intrigued by the unprecedented interest in the Forest Wolf companion beast.
Several people, already considering the vacant spot for an uncontracted companion beast, desired to contract a brand new Forest Wolf.
After all, achieving a high score of 380 points in the competition, even without the super skill, indicated the potential and effectiveness of the Wood Sage Wolf.
However, at this moment, Master Zhu Hong reacted swiftly, using his Emperor Apex-level mental power to sever the live broadcast signal. He then instructed the TV station to insert a commercial break, finally allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
As some netizens had predicted, the super skill's specific effects and abilities were not to be disclosed publicly, even during the competition.
This would be unfair to Su Ping.
Super skills, unlike other evolved forms, are meant for the masses, and many beastmasters would eventually use them.
Super skills are different.
When it comes to true super skills, there aren't many beastmasters who can personally experience their power.
Therefore, Master Zhu Hong cut the signal at once.
He was well-versed in such matters.
But at this moment, he was still reacting after the fact.
As a young and newly graduated breeder, it was already impressive to breed an entirely new evolved form.
But for this evolved form to also possess a super skill? Well, there are no precedents for that.
However, that example couldn't be casually mentioned in public.
But this was enough to spark wild imaginations.
After all this, Master Zhu Hong finally spoke:
"Su Ping, this is no joke!"
Facing the Vice President of the Breeder Association, Su Ping smiled slightly and, without further hesitation, said, "Feel free to inspect it, seniors with the True Eye!"
As he had said before, the True Eye is one of the three most common beastmaster talents. Some in the audience possessed it, though Master Zhu Hong didn't. Among the ten judges, there were one or two who had this talent.
As they looked on, exclamations of surprise filled the air.
An elderly judge, his voice trembling, turned to Su Ping:
"Young man, is this skill of your breeding?"
Su Ping nodded and then shook his head:
"It's an inherent trait of the Wood Sage Wolf, and I was lucky enough to discover some clues. Overall, it was mostly due to good fortune."
No one took Su Ping's modesty seriously. Even if it was luck, breeding a super skill wasn't a matter of mere chance.
Su Ping exchanged glances with the others, then asked:
"Judges, do you want Old Sha to test the power of this skill?"
Everyone realized what was happening. No one spoke; all eyes turned to Master Zhu Hong.
Master Zhu Hong pursed his lips, then, amidst the expectant gazes, nodded:
"The live signal has been temporarily cut. So, Su Ping, you can demonstrate without worry. But after this, everyone will come to my place to sign a confidentiality agreement!"
No one resented Master Zhu Hong's caution. They all understood the significance of a super skill.
Even if Master Zhu Hong didn't say it now, everyone believed that a Mythic Spirit-level figure would personally call soon.
But at this moment, no one cared about confidentiality agreements. They could deal with that later; satisfying their curiosity was the priority.
All eyes turned back to Su Ping.
Su Ping nodded. He had no reservations; since it was already public, he had no hesitation.
With Old Sha, he returned to the skill power testing instrument. Su Ping explained, "Solar Heart can absorb solar energy, providing the Wood Sage Wolf with abundant energy recovery. It can also store energy over time and then release it through skills, causing massive explosion-type damage!"
As he finished speaking, the giant wolf, resembling a majestic qilin, raised its head. It opened its mouth, and a faint light flickered within. The next moment, a light ball the size of a fist formed, and under everyone's watchful eyes, it blasted towards the skill power testing instrument.

An additional chapter is added, although it's only around three thousand words, it demonstrates the author's sincerity. The author's luck is absolutely not an issue! It's not intentional to end on a cliffhanger; the word count triggered an automatic chapter break. Apologies to my dear readers.
