Chapter 357: One Month! The Pre-Assessment Warm-up!
Chapter 357: One Month! The Pre-Assessment Warm-up!
The scorching weather had proven that Jianghai had fully entered the peak of summer.
Indeed, it was true.
Today was an extremely special day.
June 20th.
On this day a year ago, Su Ping also completed his awakening of the Wan Ling Tu Lu and became a true Beast Tamer, officially embarking on the path of a Beast Tamer.
Although he had to stay in Linzhou for a while due to certain circumstances and didn't immediately return to Wan Ling Xin to inherit the family business, this day still held great significance for many.
This year's batch of graduating Beast Tamers, with the help of the Awakening Stone, awakened their spiritual power talents and Beast Taming Space, becoming true Beast Tamers with high expectations for the future.
However, aside from this graduation season, the most important event was undoubtedly something else.
This could be seen in all the major cities across Dragon Kingdom, where discussions and excitement about the upcoming profession assessment were rapidly escalating at an unimaginable pace! All young Beast Tamers who met the conditions and requirements were eagerly preparing for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, aiming to achieve a good ranking in the Beast Duel and make a name for themselves in front of the entire nation after this transformative assessment.
The sun shone brightly, but Su Ping didn't show any signs of anxiety or special attention.
Whoosh!
A terrifying sound tore through the air, like a sharp sword capable of piercing through everything, and it pierced through a strange green demon wolf.
Terrifying energy spread out, and the sharp sword aura only lasted for an instant before shattering the body of the figure.
Gradually, a green flame dissipated in the air.
Heaven and Man as One!
Qian Yi's body emanated white light, forming a giant sword shadow that enveloped the surroundings.
"Ow-woo!"
A crisp wolf howl echoed, and countless wolves with similar appearances quickly surrounded him. The burning green demon wolf shadows were like ghosts under the blue sky and white sun. Demons in broad daylight.
They surrounded the figure holding a long sword in the center.
Every time the figure struck, it would directly shatter a wolf spirit shadow, but those wolf spirit shadows seemed endless.
Like a tidal wave, they continued to overwhelm the figure in the center.
The sun shone brightly.
Su Ping lay on the grass nearby, a processed wolf tobacco stalk hanging from his mouth. The bitter taste kept him from falling asleep, and he watched the scene before him with a faint smile and resignation.
Beside him were two more figures, none other than Lao Sha and Xiao Qing.
Indeed, the one fighting with Qian Yi at this moment was also Xiao Qing, but it was just one of her numerous clones.
It had been exactly one month since Qian Yi comprehended the Sword Dao Incarnation super-rank skill.
During this month, Su Ping had a peaceful time.
Although the Water Sovereign's clone had said it would arrive soon, there hadn't been any news.
Even though Su Ping already knew the true purpose of the Water Sovereign, and its arrival could solve Su Ping's external incarnation issue, he still wasn't keen on interacting too much with this being beyond his understanding.
Being able to spend a peaceful period before the profession assessment was already quite good.
As time passed, the entire Dragon Kingdom seemed to be getting more and more excited about the upcoming profession assessment.
During this month, Su Ping also didn't rush to do anything else. He focused all his attention on nurturing and training his companion beast.
The results were indeed outstanding.
Aside from the fact that Qian Yi, Xiao Qing, and Su Ping's cultivation realms had all improved, their companion beast's cultivation realms had also reached the upper limit of the High Commander Tenth Rank, the same as those Beast Tamers who had been preparing for years for this assessment.
As for Qian Yi broke through to the High Commander Seventh Rank after comprehending the Sword Dao Incarnation, he also improved by one rank during this month, breaking through to the High Commander Eighth Rank! Su Ping also achieved the same.
The previous phone call from Saint Dragon Legend made Su Ping realize that while nurturing was important, with the help of Wan Ling Tu Lu, he could save a lot of time and energy in this aspect. Instead, he should focus more on meditation and spiritual power cultivation, which he had always been slightly lacking in.
In the lower ranks, the status of a Beast Trainer is naturally higher, but once one reaches the higher levels and attains the Holy Spirit rank like Cold Grandpa or Saint Ray, the strength of a Beast Trainer becomes even more crucial unless they are of a similar caliber to Charles of the Eagle Kingdom.
During this time, apart from overseeing Liu Laoshou's cultivation of the Water Heart skill for the Ice Fang White Wolf and experimenting with the cultivation of the Origami Person in the simulated evolution, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to cultivation.
Of course, he wasn't completely neglecting his duties. Aside from other matters, within the Wood Heart, Su Ping still needed to oversee the cultivation of the new evolution of the Forest Wolf, the Thorn Wolf.
Guo Lilili's talent was indeed impressive, and her progress over the past year had been remarkable. The evolution of the Thorn Wolf was also incredibly smooth.
It was a success without any major issues.
Simultaneously, this also earned Su Ping two thousand experience points for the Forest Wolf Catalog.
As for the Water Heart of the Ice Fang White Wolf, this was not something that could be rushed.
Firstly, according to their agreement, to reach the level of altering the weather on a large scale, one would need to at least reach the Perfect Rank. Even with the cheating effect of the Ten Thousand Spirits Catalog, it was impossible for Su Ping to cultivate from the Beginner Rank to Perfect in just one month.
Not to mention drawing attention, even if they weren't afraid of being noticed, Su Ping couldn't do it!
He wasn't only responsible for the Water Heart of the Ice Fang White Wolf, but he also had to cultivate the Paper Body Fold and Paper Body Compression of the Origami Person, which were more important to him!
While the Ice Fang White Wolf was important, wasn't the cultivation of the Heaven's Tomb even more crucial?
Fortunately, Liu Fuhai understood this, or perhaps he was unaware of Su Ping's thoughts, and naturally assumed that Su Ping had done his best.
In the eyes of everyone, Su Ping had indeed given his all.
In such a short period, the skill level of the Water Heart of his Ice Fang White Wolf, Bai Ye, had already surpassed the Skilled rank and reached the Mastery rank. Although it had just been promoted yesterday, this speed was something that even Liu Fuhai, if he personally cultivated it, would never be able to achieve.
So, Liu Fuhai was indeed very satisfied during this time. Although the Water Heart had only reached Mastery yesterday, the Ice Fang White Wolf's Ice Super Rank still showed no signs of appearing, leaving Old Liu somewhat disappointed and even wavering in his determination.
It was Su Ping's persuasion that calmed the mind of Liu, who was about to become obsessed.
This wasn't Su Ping trying to fool Old Liu. A month ago, when the Water Lord arrived, Su Ping had carefully observed the combat style of the Water Lord Jellyfish.
Although it was just a test, the Jellyfish couldn't use any powerful abilities.
However, Su Ping could sense that within that strange ability to gather water and form a beast, there was a similarity to the Ice Super Rank skill that Old Liu wanted to cultivate.
The only difference was that Old Liu's skill, as an Ice-type concentration, was much stronger than the Water Lord's simple ability to gather water and form a beast.
Nevertheless, Su Ping guessed that the core of both skills was related to the Water Heart.
The Element Heart was indeed worthy of its reputation as the top skill among the Hall-level skills!
In the cultivation of various Element-type Companion Beasts, the Element Heart was almost always a core component of their skills!
This was also the reason for Su Ping's confidence.
But still, they had to wait!
Just like when Old Sha's Sun Heart evolved, it also required the Wood Heart to reach the Perfect Rank.
Otherwise, if the Wood Heart and the other formula skills were at the same rank, at most, they could only unleash a burst of power like the Ten Thousand Trees Wolf in that Legion Battle, but they couldn't completely transform into the Sun Heart.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Liu Book Bar~~
Regarding the Ice Fang White Wolf, Su Ping wasn't too concerned. He had already mastered the evolution method, which Old Liu had taught him all at once.
If it succeeded, the future Ten Thousand Spirits Heart would naturally include the cultivation method for the Ice Fang White Wolf and its corresponding Super Rank. For now, his primary focus was on the upcoming Beast Taming assessment!
During this month, apart from improving his realm, Su Ping and the two little guys had sparred countless times.
However, the outcome of these spars was never in doubt.
If Qian Yi used the fusion of the Five Elements Paper Scroll, she would possess an overwhelming advantage and directly defeat Xiao Qing without giving her any chance to retaliate.
Especially after comprehending the Sword Dao Incarnation and entering the states of 'Heaven and Man As One' and 'Five Elements Rotation', Qian Yi was almost invincible.
Xiao Qing's external incarnations would be instantly killed by the terrifying Five Elements Sword Qi without any chance of survival, unless she prepared a separate medium for her soul to escape.
Of course, it was just a friendly spar, and there was no way they would actually fight to the death.
If Qian Yi didn't have the Five Elements Rotation state and the combined strength of the Five Elements Paper Scroll, the outcome would be obvious.
Su Ping, with a wolf-smoke cigarette in his mouth, watched as Qian Yi's Heaven and Man as One state disappeared, and he was completely overwhelmed by the endless army of Xiao Qing's clones. Even after activating the Heaven and Man as One state, Qian Yi only managed to eliminate one of his true external incarnations.
The other two external incarnations were still alive and well, and the vast array of split shadows seemed infinite. Unless they could quickly finish off these clones within a short time, in less than a minute, dozens of split shadow legions would be formed.
Eventually, the little paper man would be overwhelmed.
It had to be said that after the first few times, Su Ping watched with great interest, thinking about how his two companion beasts could improve in combat. But after that, he didn't want to think about all the messy stuff anymore.
There was no choice; it was just too predictable.
And it was a 360-degree, completely predictable situation.
Qian Yi's combat power was already incredibly strong. Especially during this time, Su Ping had evolved some of the paper figures from the Dragon Spirit Hall into various paper swords, and Qian Yi had once again comprehended several sword techniques.
There was even a large-scale sword technique skill specifically created to counter Xiao Qing's external incarnations. But even so, it still wasn't enough!
Xiao Qing's external incarnations were indeed worthy of being a Super Rank Skill that even the Sacred Dragon Legend valued.
Combined with the Green Demon Ginseng's Green Demon Body, unless they could directly eliminate all of Xiao Qing's clones within a short time, or have enough energy to completely deplete Xiao Qing's energy, and do it even faster than the energy recovery provided by the Super Rank Skill Green Demon Body, Xiao Qing would be almost invincible in such a battle.
Of course, if Qian Yi activated the Five Elements Rotation of the Five Elements Paper Scroll, it wouldn't be as simple as being invincible.
This doesn't mean that the Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body is much stronger than the external incarnations.
In fact, during this testing period, Su Ping also gained a realization that in the future, as the rank of the paper figures increases, the limit of the Five Elements Rotation will also decrease.
At the Overlord Rank, a paper figure with a fully developed Heavenly Cycle Five Elements Body naturally has a huge advantage.
However, if their cultivation base improves in the future, and Qian Yi and Xiao Qing both reach the Emperor Rank, or even the Holy Spirit Rank, then it's hard to say who will win.
Moreover, the effect of external incarnations is not limited to combat! They have advantages in strategy execution, survival ability, and even self-improvement.
Just during this period, the significant improvement in Xiao Qing's other skill levels is proof of that!
As Su Ping watched the scene that had been repeated countless times, he couldn't help but shake his head in exasperation. Just then, his phone rang, and he was slightly taken aback when he saw the caller.
It was none other than Qin Erlong, whom he hadn't been in contact with for a long time.
"Su Ping, where are you?"
"I'm at the newly opened Earth's Heart, on the vast ground. What's up?"
Soon, Qin Erlong arrived in front of Su Ping.
Seeing Su Ping lying on the lawn, Qin Erlong said, "You little guy, you're so relaxed! Even Xiao Xue and the others are busy preparing for this professional assessment. Only you can be so carefree!"
"Hehe, President Qin, I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule."
President Qin obviously had something important to discuss. After a brief pause, his expression turned serious.
"I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you!"
Hearing President Qin's words, Su Ping raised his eyebrows. During this time, President Qin had indeed been very busy.
After the appearance of the Ray Saint, the resolution of the East Sea water disaster, and for over two months, Su Ping hadn't seen President Qin. They hadn't even contacted each other by phone.
However, this was normal. The education system, the establishment of the Jianghai Linzhou Elite Beast Taming Academy, and the promotion and preparation for the professional assessments in various regions were all matters that President Qin, as the president of the Beast Taming Association, personally oversaw.
But at this time, when he should be even busier, he sought out Su Ping, leaving Su Ping puzzled about his intentions.
However, Su Ping also restrained his smile and turned to Qin Erlong, "What's the matter, President Qin? Just speak your mind."
Hearing Su Ping's words, President Qin didn't hesitate. He sat down beside Su Ping, took an interested glance at Xiao Qing beside Su Ping, and then said:
"Regarding this professional assessment, there's an issue with your paper figure companion beast participating in the assessment!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping's expression turned solemn.
