Chapter 226: Two Masters as Assistants! The Requirements to Become a Master!

Bewilderment.

At this very moment, Old Liu and Master Zhu could only describe their current state as such.

What bewildered them was not just how Su Ping had once again discovered a super-tier skill within such a short period, but also the question: What is meant by a "normal Origami Beast's evolved form"?

Even though neither of them was an Undead Beast Tamer, they were equally perplexed by the idea that a normal Origami Beast could have an evolved form.

The Origami Beast, known as the shame of Undead Beast Taming, was a pet beast with only a crippled evolved form.

Countless Undead Beast Tamers, through numerous attempts, had gained experience that clearly showed that normal Origami Beasts absolutely did not have evolved forms.

Su Ping did indeed have an evolved form before, but unfortunately, that evolved form had mutated.

A mutated evolved form had no relevance or reference value for normal Origami Beast pets.

Whether or not an Origami Beast could evolve had nothing to do with normal Origami Beasts.

The mutated attributes and physical forms of mutated pets could lead to the emergence of additional evolution charts and possibilities. In such a situation, how could one possibly aim to make a normal evolved form evolve like a mutated evolved form?

But now, Su Ping was telling them that not only did he have an evolved form, but even more outrageously, this so-called evolved form had even cultivated an entirely new super-tier skill?

A skill comparable to the Sun's Heart, or even more miraculous?

Liu Fuhai and Master Zhu exchanged a glance, quickly snapping out of their daze, and without a moment's hesitation, Master Zhu put away his Earth Dragon pet beast, and together with Liu Fuhai, they rushed outside.

Seeing the three individuals who had descended from the sky in less than ten minutes, Su Ping glanced at the flying vehicle above and furrowed his brows in suspicion.

In the city center, wasn't the use of private flying abilities prohibited?

These three individuals were indeed incredibly fast.

However, Su Ping also understood that what he had just mentioned over the phone was highly enticing to Beast Tamers like Old Liu and Master Zhu.

"Su Ping, what's going on? Isn't your Origami Beast mutated? How did it suddenly produce a mutated form and gain a super-tier skill?"

Liu Fuhai couldn't wait to ask.

Su Ping smiled but didn't keep them in suspense. Nonetheless, he had something to say first:

"Old Liu, Old Qin, and Master Zhu, all three of you are my seniors, and even my mentors on the path of Beast Taming. I owe you a debt of gratitude. However, this matter concerns a certain issue, so after you three see that thing, please don't spread the word!"

Su Ping always spoke his mind, as he knew that if he waited until later, it might be too late to find a solution.

Seeing Su Ping's serious expression at this moment, everyone present also realized that their visit might not be as simple as they thought.

Especially Master Zhu.

Compared to the other two, Master Zhu and Su Ping's relationship had not reached such a level.

A previously defined-as-waste Undead Beast's shame, a completely new evolved form, what did it represent?

There was no need to say more about that.

Such a thing, if not a research team member, dared to plot, was certain, thinking of here, Master Zhu even directly wanted to wave:

"I'm sorry for my rudeness, I won't listen anymore, you and Liu president talk about it is good!"

However, he did not expect that he would shake his head with a smile:

"Don't be so polite, you old is just right, my Origami Beast, also has some ideas, only you old can give some help."

This statement, Master Zhu felt much better, but still exchanged a glance with Liu Fuhai, then said:

"Su Ping, I won't tell anyone about this matter."

Su Ping smiled slightly, and only then did he completely put down his heart, leading the three to the underground room entrance that he had entered and exited countless times that day.

"Su Ping, what's the story with that Origami Beast's evolved form?"

As they walked, Su Ping smiled and said:

"In the past, Mu Yu's Beast Tamer notes explained some insights about Origami Beasts. Once, this Mu Beast Tamer mentioned that Origami Beasts' souls are not complete, and they are truly defective pet beasts.

Liu Fuhai nodded:

"That's right, I've also read Mu Yu's diary. This old thing... sigh."

When Mu Yu was mentioned, Liu Fuhai's expression remained complex, but Su Ping didn't care and continued:

"However, any pet beast, as long as it's a pet beast, it shouldn't make sense for it to have such a defect. Therefore, when I read Mu Yu's diary, I proposed a bold idea. That is, Origami Beasts' soul defects can be mended!

In fact, it's indeed possible."

They re-entered the underground room's staircase.

Liu Fuhai and Master Zhu were completely captivated by Su Ping's words: "What do you mean?"

Su Ping spoke with conviction:

"Origami Beasts' folding ability allows two or more Origami Beasts to be combined more directly. So, if one Origami Beast's soul is defective, and if a group of Origami Beasts are combined to form a common body of paper, energy, and soul fusion, then...

Su Ping's voice echoed throughout the empty basement, reverberating off the walls.

At that moment, Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong felt as if an electric current was running through their bodies, from their tailbones to the top of their heads.

It was as if Su Ping's words had awakened them from a dream, or perhaps it was his outrageous and extraordinary breeding concept that shocked them.

Zhu Hong looked at Su Ping in disbelief, "So... you succeeded?"

Su Ping nodded.

"The connection between the soul and the body, a new path for the assembly of multiple Origami Beasts?"

Both men's pupils flickered slightly, clearly stunned by Su Ping's words.

Then, their footsteps quickened with anticipation.

They couldn't wait to see the evolution of the Origami Beast that Su Ping had just mentioned.

A faint smile of confidence appeared on Su Ping's lips.

Although his explanation was slightly off, he couldn't directly reveal the assembly of the paper body from the Universal Spirit Catalog to others.

Nevertheless, Su Ping had great confidence. Anyone who witnessed the assembly form and evolution of the Origami Beast would be greatly shocked.

Indeed, it was precisely as he had expected.

Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong, who had taken the lead and walked ahead, were now standing dumbfounded at the basement stairs, gazing at what was happening before them as if they had never imagined it.

Su Ping smiled slightly, "Teachers, the assembly form of this Origami Beast... um..."

Su Ping opened his mouth, and both Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong stood in place, looking at the not-too-distant figure in front of them.

On the little Origami Beast Qian Yi's body, seven or eight swords were inserted haphazardly, and he lay on the ground in an extremely odd posture, resembling a large paper spider rather than a human at first glance.

"Su Ping, is this the assembly form of your Origami Beast?"

Zhu Hong pointed at Qian Yi, and Su Ping covered his face in exasperation before hastily saying, "Qian Yi!"

"Huh?"

Qian Yi flipped over like a turtle, stood up from the ground, and looked at his owner in surprise.

"Disperse the swords!"

"Huh!"

At that moment, Liu Fuhai recognized that this little Origami Beast was Su Ping's Soulbound Companion. The true protagonist, whom he had seen earlier, was now revealed.

Indeed, when they were at the Cultivator Association, this mutated Origami Beast, the so-called Paper Swordmaster after evolution, had astonished them with the swords it held in its hands.

One by one, the swords slowly disassembled in front of their astonished eyes, transforming into three Origami Beasts.

What surprised them was that each Origami Beast had a slightly different color and released distinct energy fluctuations.

Without waiting for the others to react, Su Ping immediately instructed Qian Yi, "Qian Yi, the five little guys, assemble into the Quintessence Elemental Paper Diagram formation!"

"Wow!"

Qian Yi effortlessly summoned the five unharmed Origami Beasts, and in the astonished gazes of the others, they slowly assembled into the previous Quintessence Elemental Paper Diagram formation.

"This Quintessence Elemental Super Skill was obtained by chance from a predecessor. Based on the principle of the five elements' mutual generation and restriction, each energy conversion during the mutual generation of the five elements results in a stronger energy conversion than the original energy."

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"Holy shit?"

Zhu Hong said 'hmm', Liu Fuhai said 'what', and Qin Erlong exclaimed 'holy shit'.

Although Qin Erlong wasn't particularly interested in beast taming, he still understood the significance of Su Ping's description.

Liu Fuhai looked at Su Ping with suspicion, "Su Ping, these words aren't to be taken lightly. Even for Quintessence Elemental Masteries, there are some underlying principles. If we follow your logic, as long as the five elements continue to generate and restrict each other, wouldn't an ordinary beast be able to continuously transform and rival an elite beast with terrifying power?"

His question was well-founded.

Then, Liu Fuhai noticed the even more suspicious look the young man was giving him, "Su Ping, Quintessence Elemental Masteries aren't calculated like that. If we follow your logic, wouldn't the energy of the Sun's Core continue to accumulate and rival a Holy Spirit Rank beast? For any skill related to energy, we must consider the beast's endurance. To reach the maximum limit a beast can endure in such a situation is already an impressive Quintessence Elemental Mastery."

Liu Fuhai's face reddened, meow, in this aspect, this young man indeed had more say than him.

Zhu Hong nodded in agreement.

The moment the Master Tamer Zhu Hong stopped speaking, all eyes in the room were fixated on the slowly forming Quintessence Elemental Paper Diagram.

Their gazes were filled with fascination and excitement.

It was simple; although Master Zhu was not a Necromancer Breeder, the Origami Beast's remarkable abilities and the current situation were relevant to many Elemental Breeder specialties.

Undoubtedly, Master Zhu was an Elemental Breeder.

Suddenly, they witnessed such an intriguing Beast, and how could they not be interested? Furthermore, Master Zhu was able to discern the principles of the Quintessence Elemental Diagram from Su Ping's explanation, allowing him to understand the evolution of his Earth Dragon.

At this moment, no one spoke again as Qian Yi skillfully controlled the Origami Beasts. The Origami Beasts slowly converged on the Quintessence Elemental Paper Diagram, and changes began to occur.

It started with the Fire Element.

Fire generates Earth.

Then, the three of them watched as the energy of over a hundred units directly underwent a transformation in the diagram. After a single rotation, the energy reverted to the Fire Element, reaching over three hundred units, leaving everyone in awe.

This was truly an advanced skill!

Especially Master Zhu, who was astounded by Su Ping's abilities. Aside from the Beast's wonders, the energy-transforming diagram also impressed them with its strength.

This was too unbelievable! How could this kid's mind work like this?

Unaware of their thoughts, Su Ping continued his explanation:

"A single rotation is currently the limit. If we proceed further, the Origami Beast's body cannot withstand such immense energy, and it will explode. Therefore, this time, I asked Elder Liu to help me observe and nurture the Origami Beast's growth and its potential evolution."

"I have a premonition that as long as the Origami Beast's body strength significantly improves, and it can endure a few more rotations of the Quintessence Elemental Diagram, then the advanced skill of the diagram will likely reveal itself."

If it were anyone else speaking to Elder Liu in such a tone, asking him to assist, Liu Fuhai would have slapped them away.

But at this moment, Elder Liu was like a novice Breeder, following a senior Breeder who was willing to teach Beast Taming skills. He showed no trace of dissatisfaction, only eagerness and obedience.

Moreover, if it weren't for the presence of Qin Erlong, Elder Liu would have directly asked Master Zhu:

"Do you have any other instructions? Should I review your daily Beast Taming records or oversee the use of Beast resources?"

This was truly an advanced Beast Taming process.

In the future, when he applies for a rating as a Master Tamer, although it won't be solely based on his individual development or the critical assessment, it will still be more impressive than others!

This time, Elder Liu's heart once again rose with the idea of becoming sworn brothers with this young man.

Blood brothers are like this!

Ignoring Elder Liu's slight excitement, Su Ping smiled and turned to Master Zhu, who seemed deep in thought:

"Master Zhu, what do you think of this?"

Master Zhu, who had been observing the Quintessence Elemental Diagram, snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at Su Ping with a complex expression, as if he were seeing something extraordinary. After a moment's pause, he sighed:

"It's awe-inspiring! Now I understand why you're so focused on nurturing the Elemental Heart in these Origami Beasts!"

He paused briefly before continuing, "I now realize why you're so interested in nurturing the Elemental Heart in these Origami Beasts!"

Elder Liu was taken aback, then quickly reacted.

Su Ping nodded, "The Quintessence Origami Beast is extremely pure, and it shares similarities with Elemental Beast lifeforms. Therefore, I believe the Quintessence Origami Beast has great potential in mastering the Elemental Heart."

Master Zhu's eyes flashed with light, and he turned to look at Qin Erlong, who had been in a daze the entire time:

"Brother Qin, may I discuss something with you? For the next period, regarding the matter of extracting blood from the Wood Dragon, can you come to Su Ping's place?"

His words implied a request for Qin Erlong to stay with Su Ping for the upcoming period.

Damn it! So, Master Zhu and Liu Fu Hai, these two (Advanced) Master Breeders, are going to stay here and assist this young man?

Qin Erlong had no reason to refuse. He nodded, "No problem. I can come to Su Ping's place to fish when I'm free. Nowadays, news has already spread in Linzhou that there's an impressive fishing spot in the eastern suburbs!"

Su Ping chuckled and scratched his head.

The four of them did not linger in the underground room.

Although it was evident that Master Zhu and Liu Fu Hai were reluctant to leave the Origami Beasts, they did not show any signs of leaving.

But there was still a long way to go.

As the two Beast Masters chosen by Su Ping, they were not worried about future interactions with these Origami Beasts.

As night fell, it was time for dinner.

Knowing that they had important guests at home, Guan Qian Shan did not hesitate and coordinated with the cafeteria to prepare a table of delicious food.

At the dinner table, the guests were all in high spirits.

Finally, Su Ping had the opportunity to ask about the other two matters that were on his mind:

"Master Zhu, you personally promised me back then that you would apply for the Master Tamer's treatment! I wonder how it's going now?"

Zhu Hong laughed:

"I was going to tell you about this even if you didn't ask. Chairman Feng has already agreed, and it will officially take effect from this year onwards. However, your age is really too young, and the experimental results currently only have the Thousand Woods Lynx. So, let's forget about the rest. There are restrictions on the resources that can be used for free experiments."

Ordinary Master Tamers have annual breeding funds, and other low-level resources are also fine. They can freely mobilize three pieces of Emperor-grade resources! However, currently, you only have one! But this is only temporary. Not to mention, if the results of the Origami Beast's breeding are reported, none of these will be a problem!"

Mobilize Emperor-grade resources can be mobilized?

Su Ping's eyes turned green.

He didn't know how much effort his father had put in to obtain such a Natural Essence from Beihan City.

However, if he had the title of a Master Tamer, he could mobilize three Emperor-grade resources every year!

What a concept! But it made sense.

Master Tamers were already at the pinnacle of the Tamer's profession.

Although Emperor-grade resources were precious, they couldn't compare to the rarity of Master Tamers.

Su Ping nodded, unable to express his excitement.

Looking at Su Ping at this moment, Zhu Hong thought for a moment and laughed:

"You know, Su Ping, your age is really too young. Even Chairman Feng at the Tamer's Association couldn't guarantee your abilities.

So, when it was mentioned, Chairman Feng said that if you don't produce equally impressive results within five years, your Master Tamer's treatment will be revoked.

Of course, it seems Chairman Feng underestimated you!"

Indeed, he was underestimated. Only by witnessing the spectacle of the Five Elements' rotation could one truly understand and appreciate the significance of such a groundbreaking research result within the Tamer's field.

Su Ping nodded, not bothered by the title of a Master Tamer.

It was normal for Chairman Feng to have such concerns.

After all, Master Zhu Hong must have faced some opposition within the association for advocating such conditions for Su Ping.

However, just as Master Zhu Hong said, once the results of the Origami Beast's breeding were known, any doubts would turn into praise!

Liu Fuhai, who was sitting beside them, smiled slightly:

"By the way, Su Ping, in a couple of days, your Honorary Vice President position at the Linzhou Tamer's Association will be finalized. Originally, you were only participating as a senior Tamer specializing in the Lynx Wolf. Now, looking at it, I estimate that in a short time, you might really become a legitimate Master Tamer!"

Su Ping's heart stirred. Although he wasn't interested in these empty titles, it seemed that these titles could bring him something useful.

"What conditions are there for a Master Tamer?"

Liu Fuhai laughed and explained:

"You really don't know the specifics, but let me tell you. First, senior Tamers are divided into two types: senior Tamers of a broad category and senior Tamers specializing in a specific type of beast. You know this, right?"

Su Ping nodded.

"To become a Master Tamer, you must meet the first condition: the ability to breed at least three to five types of beasts that senior evolution Tamers can breed. The rarity of the bred beasts determines the rank.

Secondly, you must have independently developed a super-tier skill, which is the most challenging condition to become a Master Tamer.

Additionally, you must have bred over ten intermediate Tamers.

Lastly, and most challenging for you, your beast taming level must reach Emperor-rank or above!"

Hmm? Su Ping frowned: "Master Tamers also require a certain taming level? This is unreasonable!"

Master Zhu Hong coughed beside him: "This is also a normal requirement. After all, someone like you is indeed relatively rare."

Su Ping shook his head, not wanting to think further about the legitimate Master Tamer title.

Emperor-rank was indeed quite distant for him at the moment.

The group quickly changed the topic.

Liu Fuhai suddenly remembered something: "By the way, in a few days, that woman of Han Erlong will send the Sea Heart Spirit Turtle that she lost to Su Ping. At that time, we'll keep it in your base! Also, have you decided on the resources and breeding rewards for this breeding competition?"

Su Ping's heart stirred. Of course, he wouldn't forget about this.

He had already targeted a few rewards for the breeding competition, but he hadn't finalized them yet. This wasn't urgent! Moreover, it was quite important because it was related to the evolution path he had planned for Xiao Qing.
