Chapter 346: The Origin of Old Sha! The Heaven-Sent Wolf?
Chapter 346: The Origin of Old Sha! The Heaven-Sent Wolf?
As expected, upon illuminating the remaining Wolf Companion's catalog, the perfected ability was the True Eye that he had obtained when he first illuminated the Little Qing Forest Wolf's catalog.
A radiant light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Unconsciously, Su Ping closed his eyes, feeling an indescribable tingling sensation, but it wasn't a direct physical effect; instead, it seemed to emanate from his spirit and soul.
However, this sensation came and went quickly, lasting only a few seconds before gradually fading away, replaced by an indescribable coolness that spread from his eyes.
Su Ping even felt that even without opening his eyes, he could sense the gazes of the Wolf Companions around him through a very special perception.
This was an extremely clear and intuitive perception of the companions.
At the same time, it seemed that this was one of the most useful talents alongside Mental Communication.
Soon, the sensation completely dissipated, and Su Ping finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, Su Ping felt an unprecedented clarity.
The entire world seemed to transform from standard definition to Blu-ray in an instant.
Su Ping's vision had always been quite good, after all, the True Eye itself was a special Beastmaster talent that required activation through the eyes.
With the stimulation of mental power, the maintenance of the eyes was excellent.
But after this talent upgrade, his vision had obviously improved again.
However, this was just an additional effect of the talent upgrade; the most important thing was the enhanced stimulation.
Suddenly, Su Ping's unchanged dark eyes locked onto a Lynx nearby.
[Lynx - Wild, Age: 9 months]
[Attribute: Wood]
[Current Realm: Elite Rank 1]
[Race Realm: Elite Rank 10]
[Skills: Vine Strangle (Proficient), Accelerated Growth...]
That was it.
Su Ping blinked, momentarily thinking he had misread.
Was that it?
He had waited for so long, and the upgrade and breakthrough of the True Eye had turned into the so-called Spirit Eye, which only revealed the age of the companion?
What's the use of this?
He had thought that with a glance, he could analyze the evolution and breeding channels, just like the other Heaven-Sent Children,
seeing all the discovered and undiscovered evolution channels at a glance.
But what was this? Thinking about it, it made sense.
Upgrading the Versatile Ledger's talent wasn't too difficult,
being able to directly discern evolution and enhancement paths was pure nonsense.
Or perhaps Su Ping was hoping to see the health and mana bars above the companions' heads, like in a game.
This was obviously even more absurd and impossible.
At this thought, Su Ping shook his head.
Even he couldn't fully comprehend the principle behind the True Eye's observation ability, a Beastmaster talent that could analyze companion abilities at a glance.
It seemed that there was only this one additional effect.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on Su Ping.
The effects of the upgraded Spirit Eye appeared in his mind.
[Spirit Eye: Can determine the specific level, skills, race, and age of others through mental power, and can see through some illusion-type skills. Also possesses strong perception of resource items.]
As expected!
Su Ping felt the change from the True Eye to the Spirit Eye, a smile tugging at his lips. For observing companions, this upgraded Spirit Eye seemed to only have the additional ability to discern their age, which wasn't too significant.
But the talent upgrade also brought other effects! Like the initial Mental Communication, the Spirit Eye was not only more discreet but also had a charm effect that Su Ping often used on Little Flame and the other companions who hadn't yet met the catalog requirements.
This was one of the reasons why Su Ping was able to fulfill the bonding requirements with these Wolf Companions so quickly.
Now, the change in the Spirit Eye, in addition to seeing through illusion-type skills, also enhanced the perception of resource items! Previously, Su Ping had encountered many resources he didn't recognize, but fortunately, the Breeder's Association had organized many resources.
And needless to say, with a simple search online, one can easily find information about such traits.
For instance, the items shown in the footage sent by the previous Spring Jade Toad.
Take high-level resources, for example.
Thinking of this, Su Ping pondered and casually retrieved a resource from the Beast Taming Space.
With the Spirit Eye's lock-on, as expected, Su Ping's mind received the Spirit Eye's feedback:
【Earthstone: Overlord-class Earth-type resource, rich in abundant Earth-type elemental energy, suitable for consumption, absorption, and research. Its formation is relatively simple; below 500 meters underground, there is a chance of birth, with varying grades, up to the Imperial grade...】
It must be said that Su Ping felt very confused and abstract about such innate abilities, similar to the appraisal skill in the game.
However, Su Ping was aware of this situation, and with his current abilities, even if he racked his brains, he wouldn't understand what was going on.
Racking his brains was useless, just like his own Versatile Ledger. With Su Ping's current abilities, he couldn't even fathom what was happening.
Before Su Ping could try a few more times,
Old Liu was quick, and in no time, he brought over an Ice Fang White Wolf and the few Little Snow Wolves he had been cultivating these past few days.
As expected, these little guys were surrounded by a faint white mist, which was the result of the Water Core's encirclement, causing the abundant water element to condense into ice mist due to the constant decrease in the Snow Wolves' body temperature.
Apparently, the cultivation was complete.
Su Ping didn't hesitate and quickly established an intimate relationship with Old Sha and these experimental subjects.
At the same time, he continued to have Old Liu cultivate the remaining Water Cores.
The more Snow Wolves that learn the Water Core, the faster their skill level will rise.
Although Old Liu was unaware of this, as his super-tier skill cultivation, he couldn't help but pay attention.
He spent the entire afternoon connecting and sharing the few Snow Wolves that had learned the Water Core, then had Old Sha supervise these little guys' practice. After dinner, Su Ping and Old Liu returned to his study room, a rare occurrence.
He didn't go to the Spirit Hall to create Origami Beasts.
Instead, he pondered about the situation during the day.
The enhancement of the Spirit Eye was one thing, but now he was thinking about another matter that Su Ping had always kept in mind.
Therefore, Su Ping rarely picked up the phone and dialed one of the numbers.
After two rings, the call was answered, and a voice came from the other end:
"Hey, Su Ping, the great Beastmaster, how come you have time to look for me today?"
Su Ping's face darkened: "Su An Yong, are you sick?"
"If you say so, Su Ping, the great Beastmaster, then I must be sick. Who would've thought that Su Ping, the great Beastmaster, is the owner of the Dragon Emblem, and is my leader..."
Su An Yong spoke in a strange tone.
This old thing.
Ever since returning from Beiyuan, this old guy has been acting like this after being caught off guard a few times.
Su Ping snorted lightly and didn't bother arguing with this old guy. The two of them rarely chatted idly when there weren't any major issues:
"I have a serious question for you. Where did Grandpa get Old Sha from?"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone, Su An Yong, fell silent at this moment.
Apparently, he hadn't expected Su Ping to call and ask about this matter.
Old Sha was almost the same age as Su An Yong, a genuine and solid old wolf. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become senile due to old age.
Now, Su Ping increasingly felt that the seemingly inconspicuous but incredibly powerful 'Wolf King Aura' on Old Sha's body wasn't something an ordinary Lynx could possess.
After advancing to the Overlord rank, even though the Ice Fang White Wolf brought by Liu Fuhai today wasn't 'Midnight,' it was still a Monarch-ranked Wolf Companion. However, even though it wasn't 'Midnight,' a Monarch-ranked Wolf Companion, it still showed great respect to Old Sha.
The hierarchy among Beast Companions is even stricter than that of human Beastmasters. Wolf Companions of the same rank would typically not show such reverence to each other.
If it weren't for Su An Yong, he would have simply said that Grandpa raised Old Sha.
Although Su Anyong was aware of his son's peculiar behavior, he also knew that if Su Ping sincerely wanted an answer, he could directly ask Second Grandpa, and Cold Grandpa would not hide it. His rambling was pointless, and it wasn't something shameful.
"Old Sha's background is indeed unique. I should have mentioned it to you before. The old man also served in the Legion for some time, but his primary posting wasn't in the North Border Legion of the Northern Frontier, nor was it in the Jianghai Legion. It was in the Western Desert Province."
The Western Desert Province, located in the northwestern border region of Dragon Country, faced similar geographical threats as the Northern Frontier. However, over the past few decades, the situation had slightly improved as the Beast Empire of the Great Prairie, the Wolf Kingdom, gradually stabilized.
Despite this, the Wolf Saint had always been stationed in the Western Desert Province. The old man served there, and Old Sha's background was from the Great Prairie.
"The Western Desert Province? The Great Prairie? The Wolf Kingdom? The Wolf Saint?"
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He had heard these names more than once, especially the last one.
The Wolf Saint.
One of the most famous Holy-Class existences in Dragon Country, and seemingly the strongest publicly known Holy-Class existence.
However, these were all rumors, and such high-ranking beings rarely appeared in public, except for some state-sponsored programs. For instance, during the recent flood, only the Eastern Sea Army made an announcement, and the Ray Saint did not publicly appear.
Su Ping wasn't surprised by the old man's involvement in the Northwest, but what he didn't expect was Old Sha's background.
"So that's how it is..."
Su Ping nodded.
However, it was evident that the matter wasn't that simple, and the words 'Wolf Kingdom' couldn't fully explain it.
Su Anyong quickly continued, "Of course, Old Sha's Wolf King Aura is indeed not something an ordinary Wolf Beast could possess. In fact, it's true. Old Sha is the 42nd son of the current Wolf King of the Qingya Heaven Wolf Kingdom. Although he was expelled from the Wolf Kingdom and considered a disgrace by the Qingya Heaven Wolf King, he still has the bloodline of the Heaven Wolf."
Heaven Wolf bloodline? Su Ping was taken aback.
What was the Heaven Wolf?
It was a highly revered Beast species often used metaphorically in Dragon Country phrases.
For example, in Su Ping's Ten Thousand Spirit Heart couplet, the Jade Dragon and Heaven Wolf were contrasted.
It was also well-known that the Wolf Beast with the potential to reach the Holy-Class was the ultimate Wolf Beast.
Old Sha's abilities were indeed impressive, but before Su Ping helped him evolve, he was just an ordinary Forest Wolf, albeit one that had broken through the racial limit and possessed a so-called Wolf King Aura from an unknown source.
However, what couldn't be changed was his rank and race.
Could Old Sha, with such abilities, have had the bloodline of the Heaven Wolf King before?
Noticing Su Ping's disbelief, Su Anyong continued with some exasperation, "The Beast Empire is different from us. That Wolf King has over three hundred biological children, and that's just the living ones. Who knows how many have died.
Of course, Old Sha's father, the Qingya Heaven Wolf King, is considered one of the most promising among the Wolf King's children, with the potential to succeed the Wolf King in the future.
Old Sha is the product of the Qingya Heaven Wolf King and an ordinary Forest Wolf. The Heaven Wolf's reproduction is different from other high-ranking Beast species, mainly Wolf-type Beast species. As long as one parent has the Heaven Wolf bloodline, the offspring will have some degree of the Heaven Wolf bloodline. But Old Sha is an exception. From birth, he was a complete Forest Wolf with a unique aura. If not for that aura, the Qingya Heaven Wolf King would have suspected he was cuckolded.
According to the Wolf Pack's rules, if a newborn pup is weak, it will either be bitten to death by the Wolf King or abandoned by the pack. Although the Wolf Kingdom is part of the Beast Empire, the intelligence of high-ranking Beasts is not inferior, but they still retain this rule.
After that, some other things happened, and Old Sha ended up in the hands of the Western Desert Province Legion, staying by your grandfather's side."
As Su Ping listened to Su Anyong's explanation, he felt a bit slow on the uptake.
The more he listened, the stranger it seemed.
Wasn't this the perfect protagonist template for a weak-to-strong story?
The most critical point was that Old Sha's rise seemed to confirm this.
Thinking of this, Su Ping became suspicious.
Could Old Sha also be a child of destiny?
Pfft, a child of destiny wolf?
