Chapter 331: New Student! The Beginning of Atavistic Evolution!

Chapter 331: New Student! The Beginning of Atavistic Evolution!

Jin Yan glanced at his nephew, nodding in satisfaction.

This nephew of his had quite the talent, which was why he had arranged for him to become a breeder, and even had some ideas about Su Ping.

Indeed.

Jin Yan knew more about Su Ping than others, and they occasionally chatted when they had free time.

Previously, Su Ping had asked Jin Yan to do something for him.

It was when he obtained Xue Hongluan's Five Elements Blueprint.

The Zhang brothers from Huaiyang Province, who were tomb raiders, had a younger brother who was a beastmaster of the Flame Wolf. At that time, to express his gratitude for the blueprint, Su Ping introduced Jin Yan to them.

Jin Yan successfully bred the younger brother's Flame Wolf, cultivating it to the peak of the Monarch Rank with the potential to become an Ash Wolf Sovereign.

Jin Yan also knew that Su Ping's Heart of All Souls was short-staffed.

Of course, he couldn't go there himself.

After all, Jin Yan had left Jianghai Province many years ago. Back then, he was forced out and had no choice but to join the Beastmaster Association in Huaiyang Province. The people there had treated him well, and Jin Yan couldn't possibly forget their kindness.

However, his older brother's child was a different story.

If he could cultivate this child and have him learn from Su Ping, his future would be limitless.

With this in mind, Jin Yan looked at Ding Xiaolong, his nephew.

Although this kid was proud and arrogant, he had the talent to back it up.

Jin Yan had been teaching him on and off for about three years, and now the boy had not only learned the Flame Wolf skill 'Flame Wave Technique' but also grasped the advanced evolution method of the Ash Wolf Sovereign! Additionally, his awakened talent, the 'Wolf Howl', was also quite impressive, and even the current president of the Jianghai Beast Tamer Association, Liu Fuhai, possessed this talent.

This talent could greatly increase the loyalty of wolf companions and even activate their potential, making them even more powerful.

Whether as a breeder or a beastmaster, this talent was truly remarkable.

Of course, any so-called geniuses couldn't compare to that freakishly talented guy.

Thinking of this, Jin Yan pondered how he would broach the subject with Su Ping.

Just then, the examination hall's door opened, and two figures walked in.

The first one was, of course, Liu Fuhai, easily recognizable by his bald head throughout Jianghai.

However, the person beside him was unexpected to everyone present.

The first to react was the female breeder with the surname Lin, who stood up:

"President Liu, Breeder Su, welcome to your guidance. The rental companion beasts for the examinees have been sent out, and the association staff will deliver them soon."

All eyes turned to the two newcomers.

Liu Fuhai, unperturbed, smiled and nodded:

"I and Su Ping are just here to observe."

Su Ping scanned the room and noticed Li Shu and Guan Lilili, who were also surprised by his presence. He smiled and nodded, then saw Jin Yan, who was equally taken aback:

"Breeder Jin, what are you doing here?"

Jin Yan, also surprised by Su Ping's presence, didn't expect him to be there and was taken aback.

"Su Ping, you..."

However, Su Ping's presence made sense, while Jin Yan's was the surprise.

"My nephew is taking the Intermediate Breeder Examination, and I came to take a look. I'm only here because President Liu and Breeder Lin allowed it."

Jin Yan explained, then his eyes lit up as he looked at Ding Xiaolong, who was staring intently at Su Ping.

"Xiaolong, come here. This is the Su Ping I've been telling you about!"

This time, Ding Xiaolong didn't react and approached Su Ping and Jin Yan:

"Greetings, Breeder Su."

Although he was competitive and proud, he was different from his former classmate Zhou Shuchen.

Regardless, Su Ping's achievements were undeniable. At a young age, he represented Jianghai Province in the breeding competition, winning first place and developing a super-rank skill.

These accomplishments were beyond comparison.

Ding Xiaolong paused, his eyes sparkling:

"Breeder Su, one day, I'll become a powerful breeder like you."

Su Ping was taken aback, then smiled:

"Keep up the good work. With Breeder Jin's guidance, I believe in your future."

Meanwhile, Liu Fuhai, who had a good relationship with Su Ping, chatted with the female breeder Lin and, hearing the commotion, smiled:

"Little guy, becoming a breeder like Su Ping isn't just about researching wolf companions."

After Liu Fuhai and Su Ping exchanged a few words, Jin Yan, instead of continuing the conversation, looked at Su Ping and said with a smile:

"Are those two your students from the Heart of All Souls?"

Su Ping nodded and gestured to Li Shu and Guan Lilili:

"Li Shu, Lilili, this is them."

The two had been observing Su Ping's actions and, upon hearing this, greeted Jin Yan:

"Greetings, Breeder Jin."

Jin Yan replied:

"Being able to learn under Breeder Su is a blessing beyond the imagination of countless breeders. Cherish this opportunity!"

Everyone was silent.

The relationships between people were inescapable.

These three young people, with their backgrounds and connections, would naturally pass the examination.

(End)

Compared to the other participants, who had to rely on their own efforts, some even participating multiple times without success, they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect and admiration for the young man standing before them.

The reason was simple; the person standing before them was the best example.

The Su Ping of the past had no guidance from others and solely relied on his innate talent to reach this stage.

It was also because of this reason that when everyone, including Li Shu and the others, looked at Su Ping, who was of the same age, their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.

At this moment, the Lin-surname Beastmaster beside them, who had been leading the companion beasts from outside, spoke up:

"Alright, the rental companion beasts have arrived. Everyone, please collect your assigned beasts and choose your laboratories. You can start the breeding process now. Note that there are cameras in the labs, so if you have special breeding methods that you don't want to disclose, you can choose to cover the cameras during the breeding process! But remember, the camera concealment time in the lab cannot exceed six hours per day! You may begin!"

Su Ping didn't say much more and watched as Li Shu and Guan Lilili entered the individual breeding labs.

After chatting for a while, Ding Yan finally revealed his true purpose:

"Su Ping, your Wan Ling Zhi Xin, I spent some time there recently!"

Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he looked at Ding Yan, "Oh? Is there anything you need to point out, Ding Ge? By the way, I still haven't found a place for the batch of young Flame Wolves that President Liu gave me. You're an expert in this field, do you have any insights?"

Ding Yan shook his head, "With President Liu here, what can I possibly show off?"

It was clear that Ding Yan had been harboring some prejudice and resistance towards the Jianghai Province Beastmaster Association since last year. However, after more than half a year, he had managed to improve his relationship with Liu Fuhai.

Liu Fuhai, standing beside them, wasn't foolish. In fact, he had already guessed that Ding Yan had been keeping his nephew in Jianghai for some ulterior motive. Initially, it was because Ding Xiaolong was still studying in Linzhou, and their family was also from there.

But after graduation, with Ding Yan's capabilities, he could have easily sent his nephew to Huaiyang Province to follow him.

The reason he hadn't done so was that he had other plans.

Liu Fuhai recalled the events of the past and said, "Su Ping, that batch of wolf companions of yours needs someone to take care of them. How about this: why don't you bring Xiaolong to Wan Ling Zhi Xin? I've also been paying attention to this kid, and he's indeed a promising seedling."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan's eyes lit up with anticipation as he looked at Su Ping.

Su Ping, on the other hand, scratched his head in hesitation.

"I don't have much expertise in other wolf companions, especially the Flame Wolves. Forget about developing exclusive evolution methods like Ding Ge, even the common breeding and evolution methods for the general public, I haven't mastered or tried them. I'm afraid I might mislead others!"

Li Shu and Guan Lilili were close to Su Ping, and he had confidence in Lin Lang and the Plant Type.

However, he didn't know Ding Xiaolong well, and their relationship wasn't as close. Recently, Su Ping hadn't given much thought to the Flame Wolves, so if Xiaolong followed him for an extended period without learning much, it might create resentment, which wouldn't be good.

In fact, Su Ping's initial plan was to find a wolf companion breeder, preferably a beginner, to start from the basics.

"Su Ping, you're being too modest. Without going into other details, just now, your insights into the super-rank skills of the Ice Fang White Wolf have already surpassed the ordinary breeding evolution stage.

This time, I have some hope that we can truly create super-rank skills in this direction. When I work on super-rank skills in this direction,

if you need some breeding methods for Flame Wolves, Snow Wolves, and Sand Wolves, my Ice Fang White Wolf, Magma Giant Wolf, and Crazy Sand Wolf are at your disposal.

These three evolved wolves can indeed make up for your shortcomings in this area.

"This... it's not appropriate..."

"What's inappropriate about it? Last month's incident, I took a huge advantage from you, kid! Although I only assisted you and Master Zhu in cultivating that skill,

my name might be recorded in history because of you, and such a resume will play a significant role in my future assessment to become a breeding master! As for the evolution of these wolf companions, with your talent, it's unnecessary to waste time on ordinary breeding and evolution methods!"

Liu Fuhai spoke without hesitation.

However, these words left Ding Yan and the Lin-surname breeder beside them feeling puzzled.

They were well aware of Su Ping's Ten Thousand Trees Wolf and its Sun Core.

But what was President Liu referring to? Assisting in cultivation? And with Master Zhu?

Could simply assisting in cultivation and with such a master leave a mark in history? Moreover, could such a resume be considered in the assessment for becoming a breeding master? What kind of skill was this?

Su Ping looked at Liu Fuhai with a puzzled expression. He knew very well what the Zhou Tian Five Elements Body represented.

However, Su Ping wasn't entirely clear about the extent of Liu Fuhai's assistance.

Now that he heard it, it didn't seem like much of a big deal.

And as he always said, if the Ice Fang White Wolf's evolution could be mastered...

Being able to understand the evolution of the Ice Fang White Wolf was of great significance to Su Ping.

With this in mind, Su Ping nodded, "Since that's the case, thank you, Old Liu."

Although they were curious, neither of them intended to ask about it directly.

As it involved research results, until they were officially announced, other breeders couldn't covet them. These academic achievements were easily susceptible to plagiarism.

Understanding this, Ding Yan wisely changed the topic, "Su Ping, since the breeding competition this year, Little Dragon has been looking up to you. I was thinking that if he could train with you..."

Su Ping thought for a moment and glanced at Liu Fuhai before replying, "That's good. If Little Dragon is willing, it's true that Wan Ling Zhi Xin lacks a breeder in this field. However, I have a tight schedule, and most of the time, they have to practice on their own. If Little Dragon can't adapt, he can tell me directly later."

Although they were of the same age, Su Ping's words carried an air of seniority, and it didn't seem inappropriate to the others.

The achievements of the young man before them were indeed impressive enough to make them subconsciously overlook his age.

Li Shu's future focus would primarily be on breeding common plant-type companion beasts and managing the Lin Zhi Xin.

Guan Lilili's main task would be breeding Lin Lang, and she might also be involved with other wolf-type companion beasts in the future.

As for Ding Xiaolong, he would be responsible for the flame wolf and other wolf-type companion beasts.

There was also Bai Cang, who was currently working as a designer at the Soul of the Heart. He specialized in breeding undead companion beasts, which was one of the main focuses for Wan Ling Zhi Xin in the future.

However, yesterday evening, Master Yin Luo called to inform them that his arrival in Linzhou might be delayed.

As a result, the Soul of the Heart's improvements had not yet officially commenced.

But it would happen soon.

As Su Ping was deep in thought, Liu Fuhai turned to Ding Yan and said, "Little Ding, why don't you return to Jianghai? I'll talk to the mother tiger in Huaiyang. What do you think?"

"Thank you, President Liu. But President Han values me greatly, and I can't just abandon him like that..."

"Haha, I was just saying. Regardless, your hometown is in Jianghai, so you can visit whenever you have free time."

"Of course, of course..."

The three of them chatted casually in the examination room while observing the others' performances through the surveillance cameras.

Guan Lilili and Li Shu, of course, did not choose the 'Wood Heart' ace.

Even with Su Ping's current status, choosing a companion beast bred with magic potions would easily invite criticism.

Such a way of obtaining an intermediate breeder status was too dishonest.

In fact, both of their breeding choices were relatively difficult.

One was breeding the evolution of the Forest Wolf, and the other was breeding the evolution of the Sprite Wolf.

As for the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf, they had already mastered its breeding to a preliminary level.

However, the evolution of the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf was too time-consuming, and it wasn't necessary to go to such lengths.

As for Ding Xiaolong, he seemed to be working on the breeding and evolution of his uncle's Ash Wolf Sovereign.

After observing their performances for a while, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to them.

This wasn't a big deal, after all.

He had only come to take a quick look.

Just as Ding Yan invited Su Ping and Liu Fuhai for dinner that evening, Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Through the soul contract, Qing's consciousness allowed Su Ping to sense what was happening.

It wasn't that Qing had encountered any trouble; she had been quite busy since her evolution.

She was so efficient that she could even outdo Qian Yi's sword training frequency, and this little thing also had that ability.

At that moment, something was happening within Su Ping's beast taming space.

Su Ping closed his eyes, focusing his mind on the now vast beast taming space, and immediately saw what was happening.

In the Fire Nurturing Domain,

Little Crow stood amidst the flames, her black feathers seemingly reddened by the fire and smoke.

Little Flame hopped around her affectionately.

Now that Su Ping knew the true identity of Little Flame, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The Flame Spirit was the most powerful tribal totem of the ancient human tribes.

It represented the highest level of strength during the Qian Dynasty, the predecessor of the ancient dragon tribes.

Even if it hadn't fully recovered, its foundation was still formidable.

No wonder that arrogant earth dragon, Da Huang, had kept his tail between his legs when the Fire Phoenix initially took shape.

However, at this moment, Little Crow was the focus of Su Ping's attention.

In the Fire Nurturing Domain, Su Ping still didn't understand the ancient-era energy aura and the package it produced.

Strange lights flickered on Little Crow's body.

Indescribable energy fluctuations emanated from her.

The evolution lights, slightly different from the usual ones, flashed rapidly.

Su Ping paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

Little Crow was undergoing atavistic evolution.
