Chapter 25: The Evolution of the Forest Wolf: The Thousand Trees Wolf!
Chapter 25: The Evolution of the Forest Wolf: The Thousand Trees Wolf!
In the world of beastmasters, what is the most precious and valuable?
It is the companion beasts, and everything related to them.
If one were to ask what holds the highest value, then the evolution and cultivation paths would undoubtedly be among the top contenders.
Aside from some inherently high-potential, high-class companion beast races, the cultivation and evolution of most companion beasts require a specific process.
For those who embark on the path of professional beastmasters, evolution and cultivation are essential steps.
The Forest Wolf is no exception.
However, obtaining an evolution method is no easy feat for ordinary people.
Even when some evolution methods are publicly known, the required resources are incredibly challenging to acquire.
While the authorities encourage beastmasters to explore and share their discovered evolution paths and cultivation methods, people often have ulterior motives.
Such cases are rare, as discovering a companion beast's evolution path is not something an ordinary breeder can accomplish.
Developing a new evolution and cultivation path requires extensive experimentation and substantial financial backing.
Evolution paths are highly prized, and at this moment, Sun Chaoju made a bold wager.
Feeling the astonished gazes of everyone present, Sun Chaoju couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he looked towards Su Ping.
However, the crowd quickly recovered from their surprise, and Qin Erlong finally spoke up:
"How incomplete is it? What type of evolution is the Thousand Trees Wolf?"
This person's knowledge and insight were indeed impressive, immediately pinpointing the crux of the matter.
As expected, when asked this pointed question, Sun Chaoju scratched his head:
"It's a pure wood-element evolution of the wolf species. As for the other abilities... I once accidentally completed an evolution, and after the evolution, the Thousand Trees Wolf died three days later. I've tried multiple times since then, but I've only succeeded once, and it also lived for only two days before dying."
At that moment, everyone present understood. Qin Xiaoxue, standing nearby, scoffed:
"Can this even be considered an incomplete evolution path? It's just a research direction."
Sun Chaoju couldn't help but feel helpless. If this method were truly that valuable, he wouldn't have brought it up.
After spending all the money that Wolf Den had saved over the past few years, they still couldn't figure out the reason behind it. Even if he didn't use it as a wager, Sun Chaoju wanted to sell it or offer it to the Breeder Association for joint research.
Qin Erlong and Vice President Liu remained calm, with the latter asking:
"Why did it die?"
Sun Chaoju, being an intermediate breeder, quickly replied:
"Teacher, as you know, the wood element is a relatively special attribute. Most plants possess this attribute, but animal companion beasts with this attribute are extremely rare. The reason lies in the difficulty of awakening the wood element.
Furthermore, most life-element companion beasts are primarily healing types, which doesn't align with most people's expectations for the Forest Wolf.
Most evolved Forest Wolves aim to suppress the wood element and evolve towards the life element or derive other attributes. However, the Thousand Trees Wolf, on the contrary, strengthens the wood element even further! This enhancement results in a more robust wood element ability, but after the evolution, the Thousand Trees Wolf's internal fibers harden, and its organs fail, leading to death and transformation into a withered plant-like body."
Upon hearing this, Vice President Liu nodded and fell into deep thought.
Then, he turned to Su Ping:
"Su Ping, you heard it too. Although this is an incomplete evolution method, its flaws are evident, and the cultivation and evolution methods might be challenging, if not impossible. You need to consider this carefully."
What else did Su Ping need to consider?
In fact, during this brief moment, he didn't hear a word of their conversation, as all his attention and focus were on the 'Thousand Trees Wolf'.
As for the imperfections and incomplete evolution method? To others, these might be crucial, and they might not even hold much value. But to me, with my Wolf Bestiary, I can even analyze the reason for Xiao Qing's Toxic Lineage mutation."
Not to mention the proposed evolution method!
As long as the experience in the Wolf Bestiary is sufficient, Su Ping has absolute confidence that the Omniscient Beast Atlas can perfect the evolution method for the Thousand Trees Wolf! Evolution!
This is the most exciting step in companion beast cultivation.
However, facing everyone's probing gazes, for such a high-stakes gamble, he pretended to contemplate for a moment before nodding:
"I can give it a try. Maybe I can perfect the evolution method for the Thousand Trees Wolf!"
His face exuded the unique confidence of a young Beastmaster.
He resembled the rising sun in the morning,
Radiating a brilliant light.
He seemed to have no worries about the possibility of his bet failing; instead, he had already shifted his gaze to the cultivation of the evolved Thousand Trees Wolf.
His confident words impressed the others, and Vice President Liu even laughed and spoke directly:
"Hahaha, if you can do it, Su, I'll personally apply for your Advanced Breeder qualification. When the time comes, if you want to participate in the Master Breeder assessment, I'll vouch for you and contact the examiners from the Breeder Association headquarters!"
Being able to develop a new evolution method is proof of an Advanced Breeder.
In the entire Jianghai Province, there aren't many Advanced Breeders! It's evident how significant his offer is.
However, Qin Xiaoxue clearly wasn't convinced. She scoffed lightly beside him:
"Just now, wasn't someone saying that if Su Ping could cultivate the Heart of Wood, they would grant him the Intermediate Breeder qualification?"
Su Ping was startled, and the bald Vice President Liu felt a bit embarrassed and touched his nose, quickly saying:
"Su, what are the chances of your Heart of Wood cultivation?"
Su Ping looked at everyone's suddenly tense gazes, and his heart had some reassurance. Seeing this situation, he could show a bit of his ability, so he thought for a moment and said:
"Probably around sixty or seventy percent!"
Upon hearing this, the others were fine, but Sun Chaoju's breathing became slightly rapid again.
No one doubted Su Ping because the best proof was right beside them!
Having a sixty to seventy percent chance of cultivation was already enough.
Vice President Liu made the decision:
"Su, we still need to go through the process, but rest assured. Since I, Old Liu, personally made this promise in front of Miss Qin, it will definitely be kept.
Give me your personal information, and I'll help you complete the procedure. I'll personally deliver the certificate to you tomorrow! Then, you'll be an officially registered Intermediate Breeder with the Breeder Association!"
The assessment for Breeders is much simpler than for Beastmasters, but there are even fewer qualified individuals.
Su Ping didn't refuse. In the days Qin Xiaoxue wasn't around, he had realized that without fame and official endorsement, this breeding work was not something just anyone could do.
Anything that can make money is a good thing! However, at this moment, compared to all this, Su Ping's entire mind was captivated by the evolved Wolf.
Nodding, he exchanged a few polite words with these individuals and formally confirmed the wager before sending them off.
