Chapter 345: Hall of Fame, First Place! The True Eye's Enhancement!
Chapter 345: Hall of Fame, First Place! The True Eye's Enhancement!
At the recently designated Earth Core's entrance,
Seeing Su Ping's listless and somewhat hollow gaze, Old Liu was puzzled.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Ping waved his hand:
"I haven't been getting much rest these days. Never mind that, how's your breeding progress?"
In fact, ever since he suggested continuing the breeding of Ice Fang White Wolf, he had almost stopped overseeing Liu Fuhai's breeding evolution.
It's not that he completely disregarded it. After all, this project was crucial for Old Liu's chance to become a Breeding Master candidate. Su Ping could casually comment on it, but constant interference might blur the priorities.
At that time, he could just step in and reap some Universal Exp.
However, now that Old Liu had taken the initiative to seek him out, Su Ping naturally wouldn't refuse.
As expected, when Liu Fuhai brought up the topic, he immediately changed the subject, excitedly saying:
"Hahaha, the reason I called you here is to talk about this. The breeding of the Water Core is about to be completed, and Master Zhu's method and experience are indeed invaluable."
Su Ping's eyebrows lifted slightly, Master Zhu?
As expected, when Old Liu previously studied the Origami Beast with Master Zhu, he had established a profound connection with Master Zhu.
No wonder he could figure out the Water Core breeding for the Ice Fang White Wolf in such a short time.
So he sought advice from Master Zhu?
Su Ping nodded. There was nothing unusual about it. Master Zhu, as the leading figure in elemental breeding, was renowned even in the world of breeding masters.
Breeding the Water Core in a non-elemental beast like the Wolf Companion was somewhat tricky for others, but for Master Zhu, it was indeed not a difficult task.
"Master Zhu's understanding and insights into the Elemental Cores are indeed beyond our comparison."
Su Ping also nodded, deeply respecting this elemental breeding master whom he had spent two months with.
He wasn't spent two months with.
He wasn't in a hurry to see Old Liu's results. After all, he knew Old Liu's capabilities inside and out.
Since he said the Water Core breeding was almost done, it was as good as done.
"The Elemental Cores are the most fundamental and yet the most potent potential Ultimate Skills. Being ranked first among the Hall of Fame Ultimate Skills is only natural, as any single Elemental Core, when combined with elemental skills, exhibits a mutually enhancing effect."
Old Liu also sighed, but his words made Su Ping slightly startled:
"Hmm? First place in the Hall of Fame?"
In fact, Su Ping hadn't paid attention to what the first skill in the Hall of Fame was.
Among the top twenty Hall of Fame Ultimate Skills, most were ancient, dating back thousands of years according to the Dragon Kingdom's history, with little reference value or significance. They were mostly preserved in their respective heritage sites, except for the 'Out-of-Body Incarnation' skill, which was an exception.
At most, it was just a feast for the eyes, so Su Ping didn't pay attention again.
In fact, except for glancing at the legendary spy from the Dragon Kingdom's 'Dream Invasion' skill, Su Ping hadn't paid attention to the Hall of Fame skills again.
Because it had no meaning.
It wasn't entirely without reference value, but what was the point of just looking at it?
Hence, although Su Ping knew that Out-of-Body Incarnation was the second-ranked Hall of Fame Ultimate Skill, he hadn't paid attention to what the first-ranked Hall of Fame Ultimate Skill was.
Seeing Su Ping's expression, Old Liu was surprised:
"Yes, didn't you pay attention? The Elemental Cores are the most fundamental. I thought you'd have known by now, given how you named your regions."
Origin?
Su Ping instinctively narrowed his eyes, recalling the feedback from the Origami Beast Compendium when it reached Level 5, mentioning the 'Origami Beast's Origin Rule Completion'. Now, he heard the same words from Old Liu.
"What is Origin?"
This question also surprised Old Liu: "How would I know? But Master Zhu mentioned it last time. I'm just repeating it for you."
However, it's probably just a simple adjective."
Su Ping thought about it, and it seemed to make sense:
"The Elemental Hearts, so that's the origin of their power?"
"You, my boy, were so focused on breeding Origami Beasts last time that I think you should discuss and learn from Master Zhu Hong about his insights and understanding of the elements.
But since we're on the topic, let me explain it to you."
"The Elemental Hearts contain the fundamental extensions of the elements of the world, encompassing all known elements except for the Mental Lineage.
Aside from the most basic Elemental Hearts, to initially form a higher-tier Elemental Heart, you need the five elemental hearts of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, or the three attributes of Ice, Thunder, and Wind, to come together to form a true advanced skill on a Beast Companion's body.
As for the other eight Elemental Hearts, even those like the Heart of Wind and the Heart of Thunder, are ordinary skills when they appear alone.
However, in addition to these eight, there are other rare basic Elemental Hearts, such as the Hearts of Light and Darkness, Time and Space, and even Life and Death. These six Elemental Hearts are incredibly rare, and even when they exist alone, they are considered advanced skills."
Old Liu spoke with enthusiasm, knowing that Su Ping had some gaps in his theoretical knowledge.
Indeed, as Old Liu spoke, Su Ping understood.
Now it made sense.
After a pause, Old Liu continued with a smile:
"Moreover, a single Elemental Heart can also undergo changes and have the potential for great mutations. According to my speculation, your Sun Heart should be related to the Heart of Wood or the Heart of Light, right?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows and nodded without denying it.
"Indeed. The Heart of Wood plays a decisive and crucial role in this."
Moreover, Su Ping thought of the 'Poison Wood Heart' on Xiao Qing, which was also a mutation based on the Heart of Wood, combining the Poison and Wood Lineages.
Su Ping had previously attempted to develop this skill but failed, so he shifted his focus to breeding her clone-type skills instead.
"That's it. The Elemental Hearts have an incredibly powerful ability to branch out in breeding. As long as you breed Beast Companions with skills named after Elemental Hearts, you'll unlock their potential.
Of course, this doesn't mean that all skills named after Elemental Hearts are the same, there are always exceptions. But the Elemental Hearts are indeed crucial hubs in forming many advanced skills, and this is recognized by the world's breeders.
The reason Master Zhu has such high prestige and was nominated as the president of the Breeder Association even before breaking through to the Holy Spirit Realm is because he is unparalleled in breeding Elemental Hearts."
Old Liu's face was filled with reverence.
Seeing Old Liu like this, Su Ping became curious about what Master Zhu had said to captivate him so much.
It seemed that during this time, Old Liu had indeed learned a lot from Master Zhu while breeding the Water Heart.
"Let's get back to the Elemental Hearts themselves. Now you should understand why the Elemental Heart is ranked first among the Hall-level advanced skills, right? Although Hall-level skills aren't ranked based on their ability effects, the Elemental Heart, as an ancient advanced skill with the potential to contain everything, deserves its top position."
Old Liu sighed:
"It is said that once the Elemental Heart contains more than eight elements and accommodates the six advanced Elemental Hearts, there will be a significant boost in power. Perhaps only at that level can the true might of a Hall-level skill be displayed?
I wonder what kind of effect and ability would be achieved if all fourteen Elemental Hearts, including the eight basic attribute Elemental Hearts and the six advanced Elemental Hearts, were fused together to form the ultimate Elemental Heart?"
Old Liu's words sparked Su Ping's curiosity, and his thoughts were even more logical and well-founded than Old Liu's.
While others might not know, Su Ping believed in the potential of Origami Beasts.
The Light and Dark Origami Beasts had just been bred, after all. Although Su Ping wasn't sure if he could create the so-called advanced Dark and Light Hearts from them, he had his doubts.
Additionally, the Five Element Origami Beast could achieve perfect splicing and merge the Elemental Heart advanced skills due to the rotation of the Five Element Formation.
When Master Zhu Hong successfully bred the Elemental Cores, he mentioned this matter.
Even if he bred the Ice, Wind, and Thunder Origami Beasts, he could cultivate the corresponding Elemental Cores from them. However, once they are spliced, it would be impossible to easily fuse the Ice, Wind, and Thunder Cores with the Five Elements Cores.
However, Master Zhu Hong also said that if there was an opportunity and time in the future, he could continue to delve deeper into this research.
It seemed that Master Zhu Hong was not joking, as Origami Beasts indeed had great potential in this aspect.
"Speaking of which, if your advanced skill succeeds, and even if it's based on the successful creation of the Water Core, this skill can also be considered an extension of the Elemental Cores."
Su Ping shifted the topic to Old Liu's skill cultivation.
"Theoretically, it is indeed like that, but it's uncertain if it will succeed in the end. Moreover, it won't show results in a short time, and it will also require a lot of effort afterward."
Obviously, Liu Fuhai was right.
Even if Liu Fuhai succeeded in creating the Water Core, it wouldn't immediately become an advanced skill. Currently, for this type of skill fusion, it would likely require the Water Core skill level to reach a certain degree, not to mention other factors.
This was why Liu Fuhai sought out Su Ping, and Su Ping came out of seclusion, followed by Old Sha.
Previously, Su Ping had said that Liu Fuhai was responsible for breeding the batch of Snow Wolves and Ice Fang White Wolves to create the Water Core, and Su Ping was responsible for training to increase the Water Core skill level.
With the Shared Connection ability, the skill levels of the beasts under Su Ping's command increased tenfold, or even several dozen times faster than normal.
Although Liu Fuhai was present to oversee the process, it was impossible to artificially inflate the skill levels to such an exaggerated extent. Still, it could undoubtedly accelerate the process significantly.
"But speaking of it, with you here, I'm sure there won't be any issues with skill cultivation. However, this time, you've brought me so many other types of wolf pets. What are you planning to do?"
Returning to the topic, as they entered the Earth Core, Liu Fuhai looked at the divided wolf pens before him, filled with Flame Wolves, Forest Wolves, Snow Wolves, Sand Wolves, Hunting Wolves, Shadow Wolves, Thunder Wolves, Moon Wolves, and even low-level wolf species without elemental attributes like Fang Wolves, Ice Wolves, and Giant Claw Wolves.
There were over ten different types of wolf species.
Liu Fuhai, as a senior breeder of wolf species pets, managed to gather all these with just a few words.
Su Ping smiled slightly, as this was his purpose for coming this time.
After the Flame Wolf's catalog was lit up and the True Eye talent's level increased, Su Ping had already made up his mind.
The effect of the True Eye was too important, as it directly analyzed and observed the pet's level and skills, which were indeed crucial.
If he could increase the talent level of the True Eye, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him.
Su Ping smiled and didn't explain anything to Old Liu.
Instead, he opened the temporary wolf pen gate of the Earth Core and led Old Sha inside.
"Old Liu, you go and fetch those bred Ice Fang White Wolves and Snow Wolves, and I'll interact with these little guys first."
Liu Fuhai nodded, knowing that Su Ping had a good method for cultivating pet skills, but he didn't ask further.
After Old Sha was promoted to the Overlord rank, the Wolf King's aura became even more powerful, and all the wolf pets at this moment were extremely quiet.
Lying on the ground, they looked at Su Ping and Old Sha with awe.
They were as obedient as they could be.
Su Ping already had experience dealing with these little guys, so he prepared various resources and food for different races in the Beast Taming Space.
With this combination of rewards and threats, even with the strength increase of several wolf pets, the requirements for lighting up the Versatile Ledger were quickly met:
【Catalog 'Snow Wolf' lit up, current level: 1, obtain origin reward: Talent 'True Eye' effect increase (2/10)!】
【Catalog 'Sand Wolf' lit up, current level: 1, obtain origin reward: Talent 'True Eye' effect increase (3/10)!】
【...】
【Catalog 'Thunder Wolf' lit up, current level: 1, obtain origin reward: Talent 'True Eye' effect increase (10/10)!】
【Requirements met, talent 'True Eye' upgraded to 'Spirit Eye'.】
