Chapter 412: Thorn Garden? The Wolf King's Power Unveiled
Chapter 412: Thorn Garden? The Wolf King's Power Unveiled
Countless thorny vines swayed wildly, resembling a giant serpent with backward-facing spikes, rapidly undulating across the vast jungle battlefield.
As they rolled, even the two Verdant Demon Wolf Spirits that had already reached Qin Xiaoxue's front were slightly forced back due to the momentum!
Skill comprehension in battle? This wasn't an uncommon occurrence.
Throughout the history of beast tamers, there had been numerous instances of exceptionally gifted pets comprehending skills during combat, even breaking through their own limits.
However, the scene before them left everyone, including Su Ping, momentarily stunned.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he watched Xiao Qing retreat to a short distance in front of him, and the air around her seemed to sharpen, causing her Spirit Eye to squint slightly.
During the initial stages, when Mu Tou had completed his nurturing, the evolution of the Tree Crown Wolf King, after Su Ping's modifications, had resulted in the addition of a hidden racial skill in the Wanling Tulu's records compared to its initial state.
However, at that time, Mu Tou had just finished evolving, and it was evident that he hadn't mastered this skill yet. Only Su Ping knew about it, and naturally, he couldn't reveal this information.
Thorn Garden.
However, he recalled that in the evolution chart of the Tree Crown Wolf King in the Wanling Tulu, there seemed to be no indication of the level of this skill.
He never imagined that it would turn out to be a super-tier racial skill.
Indeed, with the racial cap reaching the Imperial level, it was possible for pets to possess super-tier racial skills.
What surprised Su Ping even more was that this Thorn Garden was not only a super-tier skill but also a domain-type skill!
Indeed, Su Ping's current achievements, including becoming a nurturing master with a title awarded by the Nurturing Master Association, were not solely due to the help of the gold finger's billion points. His learning and self-improvement had never ceased.
Even without the perception of the Spirit Eye, the skill that Mu Tou unleashed was undoubtedly a domain-type skill!
[Super Thorn Garden (Entry): Inherited from the Wood-type Imperial-level peak pet, the Thorn Queen's skills such as 'Thorn Whip' and 'Wild Growth', as well as the perfect evolution of the Tree Crown Wolf King, have formed a unique racial domain-type super-tier skill!
Prerequisites: Summon more than 50 Thorn Demons, with at least 5 Thorn Demons alive on the field!
Thorn Halo: Most attacks from opponents, including energy attacks, will be partially rebounded back at them! The rebound power is determined by the gap in cultivation between the skill user and the opponent!
Gardener's Whip: Greatly increases the power and growth speed of all thorns. All Thorn Demons within the domain can be resurrected by consuming energy after death or wait for 30 seconds to revive automatically.
(Note: Energy consumption and domain size of domain-type skills are related to the skill level and the user's cultivation.)
Indeed, it was a super-tier skill, and domain-type skills held an unparalleled advantage in arena battles.
Even Su Ping couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
However, a smile appeared on his lips.
He had nothing to fear, whether it was his victory or Qin Xiaoxue's advancement to the top three.
Moreover, he felt a hint of joy because of this.
Although the Tree Crown Wolf King wasn't a nurturing method he had developed, the modifications in the Wanling Tulu had allowed Mu Tou to awaken a super-tier skill. This achievement was also his honor.
However, Su Ping didn't care, but someone else did!
No, not a person.
Xiao Qing's verdant eyes, devoid of whites and pupils, fixed on the Tree Crown Wolf King within the Thorn Garden, where countless thorns danced like backward-facing spikes of a giant serpent.
It had encountered this fellow before.
Its master had nurtured it at home.
Xiao Qing vividly remembered the first time this fellow arrived at their home, its arrogant demeanor.
However, it indeed had the capital to be arrogant. At that time, Mu Tou's skill count, level, and cultivation were all reasons for it to look up to in awe.
Later, it had witnessed this fellow's evolution firsthand. Although Old Master Sha had directly taught this youngster how to be a wolf, Xiao Qing had planted the seed of ambition since then.
Defeat this fellow!
It was as if confronting its inner demon.
"The battle situation is ever-changing! We all could see that facing Su Ping's three clones and the main body's attacks, along with the pervasive poison, left Qin Xiaoxue with little resistance if she didn't use her trump card!
But what surprised everyone was that Qin Xiaoxue's Tree Crown Wolf King comprehended a brand-new, never-before-seen special skill at the last moment! Moreover, this skill might be of a super-tier level!"
Lu Guangming's voice became high-pitched at this moment. They were commentators, not traditional announcers, so they didn't need to excessively hype up the atmosphere; providing the most accurate evaluation was sufficient.
Evidently, no one had expected Mu Tou's transformation.
"Indeed, Su Ping, who initially held the upper hand, might not be so certain now! Some of you might remember that the battle time with Zhou Yuan was around seven minutes!
And now, with three minutes remaining, will the Tree Crown Wolf King, which has comprehended a new skill, lead the Life Ancient Tree and the Flower Fairy, who hasn't shown her strength yet, break through the final barrier?"
"Is it Su Ping's legendary breeding continuation, or Qin Xiaoxue's successful interception? Without a doubt, this is a future Wolf King contest! These two pets, having achieved realm breakthroughs, are both equally qualified for the Wolf King position, and there's not a shred of doubt about it!"
Just then, Zhang Lan, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up:
"Speaking of which, wasn't it just said that Qin Xiaoxue's Crowned Wolf King was bred by Su Ping? I also remember that the discoverer of the Crowned Wolf King was Professor Li Zhi from Magic Capital Academy. However, in the records of the Beast Breeders Association, it seems that Professor Li's Crowned Wolf King didn't possess this skill, right?"
With these words, the remaining two people in the room also gasped in surprise.
If the Crowned Wolf King could inherently master this unknown super-tier skill, Professor Li Zhi's ranking in the Crowned Wolf King breeding competition back then wouldn't have been limited to the top ten; instead, it would have been off the charts!
However, it's evident that the primary key factor, aside from this wood-type pet's innate talent, is Su Ping himself.
Indeed, this is the truth.
At this moment, inside the employee dormitory of Magic Capital Academy, reserved for professor-level beast tamers.
Although it's called a dormitory, the accommodations for professor-level beast tamers are naturally of high standards.
However, on a luxurious sofa made from the fur of a precious ferocious beast, Professor Li Zhi, with his Mediterranean-style strongman haircut, sits in an extremely ungraceful posture, squatting on the sofa, staring blankly at the scene before him.
He didn't pay attention to a single word spoken by those old guys on the screen.
Instead, he waved his hand, summoning his old partner.
The Crowned Wolf King, having reached the pinnacle of the Monarch stage, shook its head, its eyes, slightly drowsy and dazed, gazing at its owner.
Professor Li Zhi pursed his lips, then decisively recalled it into the Beast Taming Space.
But almost immediately, the lit-up phone screen and the incoming call from the Deputy Dean on the screen clearly told him that he seemed to have, by pure chance, gained an enormous advantage.
Needless to say, countless thoughts raced through everyone's minds.
However, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing!
"Awoo!"
A vibrant wolf howl rang out, and the comprehension of this new skill seemed to instantly rejuvenate Wood, even seemingly suppressing the Verdant Demon Poison it had been affected by.
The Verdant Demon Poison hadn't reached the point of invincibility; even when the Bone Dragon was directly exposed to it earlier, it didn't achieve the same instant-kill effect.
Some pets indeed had resistance to poison, and as a Wood-type pet, Wood naturally had some resistance.
Moreover, Wood's Verdant Demon Poison had never come into direct contact with Xiao Qing; it was only infected through the Wood Division's contagion.
Relatively speaking, the exposure was minimal.
Su Ping took a glance and knew that if he wanted to win, what had been displayed so far wasn't enough.
However, it was evident that the whimpering sound from Xiao Qing, which had merged with the wolf pet, represented the pet's unwillingness to back down.
"Then let's see! Aside from Old Sand, which one of you two is the strongest Forest Wolf Evolution at this stage! Xiao Qing, show me your full strength!"
Su Ping said with a smile.
"Awoo!"
A wolf howl, even more resonant and crisp than Wood's, echoed through the air.
At this moment, everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the scene.
Amidst the thorny vines that resembled giant pythons with barbs, the bodies of the three Verdant Demon Wolf Spirits were slowly enveloped by yet another figure.
Including the original, there were now four figures in the face of the onslaught of thorns, the bodies of the three Verdant Demon Wolf Spirits slowly revealed another figure—a total of four figures, including the main body!
However, on the four giant wolves surrounding Su Ping, shadows rapidly gathered, forming a dense cluster.
Su Ping had used this skill before, but the number of split shadows was too small, making it less noticeable.
In fact, almost no one noticed it.
But this time, facing the same situation as her own owner's breeding, and as a competitor for the 'Wolf King' title, Xiao Qing, as a wolf pet, would not allow herself to face the same setback and failure as a year ago.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Shu~~
In fact, her so-called setback was just a year ago, when she was just born, the young forest wolf's subconscious fear.
Even if it's like this, Xiao Qing, as a wolf pet, would not allow 'outsiders' to interfere.
Therefore, the split shadow army, one of Xiao Qing's trump cards, finally appeared from the outside of each split shadow, like different angles of light and shadow, countless shadows appeared in the forest's shadow!
"What ability is this?"
At this moment, everyone saw countless wolf shadows.
Because there were too many, in just a moment, there were more than twenty, one after another, blocking the thorns that quickly penetrated.
"Are they clones? And each of them can split into even more clones? The original clones can further split into entirely new clones? What kind of cloning skill is this?"
At this moment, Lu Guangming's shock seemed even greater than before.
Previously, they had already suspected that Su Ping might have even more secretive means, but after Qingyaoyao no longer hid her true strength, the ancient skill "Body Outside Body" finally revealed its terrifying power in battle.
Each split shadow clone had a cultivation level of Commander Sixth-Tier!
And on each clone, there were five major combat skills: Spring of Demons, Poison Wood Heart, Poison Vine Strangulation, Life Burst, and Poison Blast.
Most importantly, none of these skills were below Proficiency level, and the lowest was Mastery level!
Even the racial skills, Spring of Demons, Poison Wood Heart, and Poison Vine Strangulation, had reached Perfection level.
It seemed almost unbelievable.
However, this was the power of Body Outside Body. For Qingyaoyao, it meant that at every moment, there were three exact copies of herself 'cultivating' and improving these skills.
She wouldn't even feel tired.
This was the true terror of Body Outside Body.
Of course, there was also the skill "Die for Me," and when the clones were recalled, the main body's energy recovered and increased.
The strength of Body Outside Body wasn't limited to direct combat.
But it didn't mean that in a real battle, it would be any less formidable.
On the contrary.
At this moment, Qingyaoyao truly unleashed the full power of Body Outside Body.
And the final result was displayed within just half a minute.
The split shadows faced the thorns, which were already weak and lacked sufficient energy, but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were crushed like dry weeds.
"Woof!"
Mutant Tree was unwilling to accept this.
It even looked at its owner with some resentment, as if blaming him for not letting Fairy Flower use that skill.
Indeed, in the end, Qin Xiaoxue sighed, and in the end, she didn't use the skill that her grandmother personally helped cultivate:
'Tidal Life'
A skill that could almost alter the situation on the battlefield, allowing all pets in the arena to have nearly infinite energy within a short period and making injuries almost non-existent.
But, as before, it wouldn't make much difference.
It allowed Mutant Tree to have its moment, but the result of the battle remained unchanged.
Because Qian Yi still didn't make a move.
There seemed to be an unspoken agreement between the two.
And under this agreement, even though Mutant Tree went all out, it still lost.
However, Qin Xiaoxue accepted her defeat willingly and wholeheartedly.
Only those who had truly experienced that bizarre cloning skill would understand that amidst the countless split shadows,
even with the presence of Thorns,
the infected Verdant Demon Poison, and the energy-depleted Mutant Tree, which had previously expended a lot of energy to activate Jungle Carnival, couldn't even put up much resistance.
In the end, Mutant Tree's skills, or rather, the skills of the Crowned Wolf King, whether Jungle Carnival or Thorns, were all energy-consuming.
And Mutant Tree's only means of energy recovery was the meager Poison Wood Heart.
It was too lacking.
If Mutant Tree had Lao Sha's Solar Heart or Zhou Tian Five Elements Body, which provided virtually infinite energy, it would be difficult for Qingyaoyao to defeat it, even with her full power.
But there were no ifs. Neither Solar Heart nor Five Elements Body was easy to cultivate.
Qingyaoyao's skills also consumed a lot of energy, but her Body Outside Body allowed her main body and the three real clones to have self-sustaining energy.
Additionally, although the Verdant Demon Body couldn't recover energy like Solar Heart or Five Elements Body, its recovery speed was still far superior to ordinary bodies.
Under these circumstances, Mutant Tree's defeat was understandable.
However, this battle undoubtedly made everyone finally realize that compared to Qian Yi, Su Ping's wolf pet was equally formidable, if not more so!
Compared to the majority of the ordinary audience and even some high-level viewers who sighed in admiration,
among those who witnessed this battle was a very special figure.
Lin Zhou.
The Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits.
In the reception room of the Wood Heart.
Guan Lili, Li Shu, Bai Cang, Zhao Qingqing, and others sat in the reception room, watching Su Ping's battle on TV.
Their admiration needed no explanation.
What they didn't notice was a faintly damp spot where a phantom figure watched the TV screen, looking somewhat dazed.
On the mermaid's exquisite face, which was no different from a human's, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she muttered in disbelief:
"Clones and sub-clones? The real Body Outside Body seems to be just this? This kid..."
After a long while, the mermaid finally nodded:
"It seems that he wasn't lying to me after all. A mere Commander-level beastmaster has a chance to decipher the secret of Body Outside Body? It looks like I'll have to prepare well and meet this little guy again."
