Chapter 337: Understanding Su Ping
Chapter 337: Understanding Su Ping
The Origin Rewards from the Versatile Ledger, all these talents, were like icing on the cake for Su Ping, but their effects were not particularly significant.
At most, they were useful in critical moments, but most of the time, they were not needed and were easily forgotten.
For example, Su Ping did not use the Awakened Beastmaster Talents like Elemental Transformation and Rain Summoning very often.
However, among them, the True Eye was definitely not included.
In fact, Su Ping used this talent more frequently than even his own Companion Beasts.
After all, as the most common and widely used talent, there was a reason for its popularity.
And Mind Link, during the previous Plant Ledger's bountiful harvest, had upgraded the talent, evolving from Mind Link to the more practical and stealthy Psychic Link.
So, if the True Eye were to be enhanced again, what kind of advancement and changes would it bring? Su Ping had never really considered this before.
Therefore, it seemed that after lighting up a Ledger and gaining an Origin Talent, lighting up a similar Ledger would indeed enhance the first Origin Talent obtained, and even complete an advancement.
With that in mind, Su Ping decided to light up all the Companion Beast Ledgers related to wolves and dogs.
As he thought this, his actions in the experiment were not slow at all.
As expected, after consuming the Basic Flame Core Flame Wolf again, although the skill's power increased once more, the extent of the increase was significantly reduced, by a full 20%.
Whether this was due to the short-term consecutive consumption or simply the weakening effect of repeated use was unknown.
These specific details could be further tested by Pingyun later through repeated attempts.
So, Su Ping's main focus turned to the Ash Wolf Sovereign:
Its physique was not particularly large, only slightly taller than an ordinary wolf dog.
However, on its ashen-red fur, flickers of red light occasionally flashed, like sparks igniting in the midst of ashes.
A scorching aura enveloped its entire body.
This was the Ash Wolf Sovereign.
Previously, during the Legion Sparring, Su Ping had also seen it once in the sparring footage.
But this was his first time encountering it in person.
Su Ping smiled:
"Brother Ding, let's begin!"
"Alright, Little Ash, unleash your skill 'Ash Decay'..."
Without further ado, Ding Yan gave the command to the Ash Wolf Sovereign.
Su Ping mentally mocked the name, thinking that it was even worse than his own naming skills. He even wondered if the father of this Ash Wolf Sovereign was called Grey Wolf. But in the next moment, he watched the Ash Wolf Sovereign with great interest.
Among the Fire Attribute's energy transformations, this one seemed to have more variations than the others.
Ash, the remnant of burnt flames, was a direct display of Fire Attribute's power.
It represented the power of destruction and annihilation.
The Ash Wolf Sovereign did not howl, but on its body, small sparks surrounded by ash-black feathers, flew out in the next moment, instantly locking onto the experimental dummy.
A sizzling sound! Even the dummy's defense was no match, as several terrifying pits appeared, burned by the flames. Moreover, the dark red scorch marks continued to spread.
It was as if the high temperature had curled up the grey-white metal skin.
There was no bright, intense flame, but the internal burning directly turned it into ashes!
This Ash Wolf Sovereign indeed had something special.
Su Ping nodded, and at the same time, the feedback sounded:
[Fire Skill Attack, Skill: Ash Decay (Ash Wolf), Skill Attack Power: 19,520, Flame Temperature: 3,000 degrees, the skill effect lasts longer and comes with a series of fire poisons, ignoring most energy defense abilities. Skill power is for reference only.]
Nineteen thousand!
This skill's power value, compared to the Ash Wolf Sovereign, which had reached the Sovereign Rank, was actually not very high.
The skill power value of Sovereign Rank Companion Beasts ranged from 4,500 to 25,000.
There was a difference of about 20,000.
This value was relatively low among Fire Attribute Companion Beasts.
However, just as the dummy's feedback indicated, the Ash Decay's effect was difficult to defend against and cure.
On the battlefield, once injured by this skill, if not promptly addressed, one would likely perish in the scorching heat of the fire poison.
It was indeed a tricky skill.
"Su Ping, the weakness of my Ash Wolf Sovereign is indeed its relatively ordinary flame temperature, which results in insufficient direct killing power from the skill. Let's see the effect of your Flame Core."
Su Ping was also very much looking forward to it.
Among the Flame Lord's memories, the potion recipe he held was the true True Flame Soup.
As for the other Flame Cores, they could only be considered weakened versions without the Flame Fruit, or what was known as Ancient Flame-enhanced.
They couldn't be considered the real deal.
Now, it was time to see the effect of the genuine article.
As the test tube opened, Ding Yan also nervously handed it to his Companion Beast, named Little Ash.
Gudong.
After swallowing the True Flame Soup, the atmosphere became quiet.
"Ao Wu~"
A deep roar emanated from the Ash Wolf Sovereign's mouth for the first time, and in an instant, its originally ashen-red fur seemed to be ignited.
At this moment, the Ash Wolf Sovereign transformed into a true Ash Fire Wolf, with dense sparks appearing on every strand of its fur.
Adorning its entire body.
This Ash Wolf Sovereign, who had already reached the Monarch Rank's eighth level, underwent a sudden transformation, taking another step forward.
Then, the same Ash Decay,
However, this time's feedback was vastly different:
"Fire Skill Attack, Skill Name: Ash Decay (Ash Wolf Sovereign), Skill Attack Power Intensity: 26348, Flame Temperature: 5200 degrees, the skill's effect lasts for a long duration, and it comes with a series of Fire Poison effects, ignoring most energy-based defensive abilities. The skill power intensity is for reference only."
5200 degrees, with a skill power increase of nearly seven thousand, reaching the peak and limit of what a Monarch Rank could achieve.
In fact, compared to just consuming the Intermediate Flame Core, the improvement of less than a thousand degrees seemed not as significant.
But seeing Ding Yan's awe-struck gaze at this moment, Su Ping smiled slightly.
The higher the flame's temperature, the more challenging it is to increase it.
After reaching a certain peak, wanting to raise it by a hundred degrees is far more difficult than increasing it by a thousand degrees before.
Especially for controllable fire skills, unlike explosive skills.
The difference is immense.
"Su Ping, this Flame Core of yours..."
Ding Yan licked his dry lips, and the heat emanating from the released skill caused beads of sweat to appear on his forehead.
But this couldn't conceal his excitement.
"This thing is too precious. Even with the resources of an ordinary Monarch Rank peak, or even an Imperial Rank, it's hard to achieve such an extreme effect. Su Ping, I..."
Su Ping waved his hand, "Brother Ding, there's no need to be polite. If you think this thing is precious, then stay here and study it thoroughly!"
"Of course..."
Ding Yan patted his chest in agreement, completely forgetting that just a moment ago, he had promised someone that he would return as soon as he sent his grandnephew to the Heart of All Souls.
...
While Su Ping and Ding Yan were excitedly experimenting with the effects of the Flame Core, on the other side.
In Linzhou, at the Breeder Association Headquarters.
In Old Liu's office.
President Han, who had come from Huaiyang Province and met Su Ping during the breeding competition, was sitting on the sofa:
"Why hasn't Ding Yan returned yet?"
Liu Fuhai was a bit helpless; it was because of this tigress's arrival that he couldn't move to the Heart of All Souls yesterday to start researching the Super Skill cultivation of the Ice Fang White Wolf with Su Ping.
As a result, he had wasted a whole day here.
"Don't worry, he won't get lost! He's a grown man, he can't be lured away, right?"
"That's not certain. Su Ping wouldn't have such ulterior motives, but some people, when they get lucky, become greedy and insatiable."
President Han was obviously still brooding over certain matters.
Liu Fuhai didn't get angry, "I've said it before, we in Jianghai have no interest in Ding Yan, and I have even less interest in him. Where would I find the time to poach someone?"
"I understand, this is the eleventh time you've said this to me in the past two days. Having a research direction doesn't guarantee success; we're still far from it."
President Han shot him a glance.
Liu Fuhai paused, then spoke seriously,
"Maybe Su Ping has made a research discovery or had an idea, or maybe he's just chatting with Ding Yan about Ding Xiaolong's matter."
It was fine until this topic was brought up, and President Han's chest rose and fell again,
"What idea could Su Ping have to discuss with Ding Yan? He's not a fire-type breeder."
Liu Fuhai shook his head, indicating that this woman didn't understand Su Ping well enough.
However, before he could say more, a phone rang, it was President Han's phone.
The latter, upon seeing the call, finally heaved a sigh of relief,
"Ding Yan, are you back?"
"President Han, it might take a while longer. Su Ping has created a universal mana potion for fire types, and he wants me to try it! President, this potion's effects are outstanding. Our association can introduce it on a large scale later. If you have time, you can come and see it for yourself..."
The voice on the other end of the call wasn't loud.
As a Monarch Rank Beastmaster, Liu Fuhai's keen senses needed no explanation, and he could hear clearly. Seeing the tigress in front of him still not reacting, Liu Fuhai nodded.
Hmm, it seems she understands now!
