Chapter 413: Cultivating the Thorn Garden? Unlocking the Combination of Racial Skills?
The Top 3 Emerge! The Predestined Strongest Wolf King!
The Wolf King's Contest: Can Lin Lang be the Elite-level Pet with the Most Potential?
The Sun Heart of the Ten Thousand Wood Wolf, the Crowned Wolf King's Thorn Garden. Is the Evolution of Lin Lang Stronger, or is it the Power of Su Ping's Cultivation?
The True Legendary Journey!
Does Qin Xiaoxue Have the Strength to Fight Again? What is the Truth Behind the Flower Fairy's Inaction?
A Performance Battle to Repay a Favor? Is Su Ping's Victory Unfair?
...
News headlines, as expected, once again emerged from the late-night hours, well-prepared and ready to be released.
It was evident that the moment the top three emerged from the highly anticipated professional assessment, the news was immediately released.
Equally evident was that among these three battles, the one that attracted the most attention was undoubtedly the last one: the confrontation between Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping.
After all, it was the more sensational topic.
The relationship between Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping, the Crowned Wolf King's cultivation, and Lin Lang's evolution—all these factors undoubtedly made the final battle a hot topic.
Especially for some smaller media outlets seeking attention-grabbing headlines, the last battle provided the perfect opportunity. They seized the moment when Qin Xiaoxue chose to concede rather than deploy the Flower Fairy, creating a buzz-worthy story.
Indeed, this story garnered significantly more views than typical battle report media coverage.
Where there is discussion, there is a topic, and compared to mere discussion, what captures attention even more is controversy.
Undoubtedly, Su Ping's supporters strongly disagreed with this narrative.
However, these online discussions had no impact on Su Ping and Qin Xiaoxue themselves.
At this very moment, the two of them stood in the testing arena of the Dragon Dynasty Club.
And the subject of the test was none other than the mighty Wood, who had just unleashed his power on the arena.
All the countless thorny lashes that Wood had not fully displayed on the arena were now unleashed to their fullest extent.
Simultaneously, the testing equipment in the arena provided immediate feedback.
Wooden Skill Attack, Skill Judgment: Thorny Whip (Thorn Queen), Pet Level: Commander Tier 10, Estimated Skill Level: Mastery, Skill Attack Power: 5072
The testing equipment offered the most direct feedback.
The power of this skill was not exceptionally high.
Generally, the skill power of a Monarch-tier pet typically ranged from 4,000 to over 20,000.
Of course, 4,000 was considered the lowest value.
Theoretically, a pet reaching the pinnacle of the Commander tier, especially one with high racial potential, could possess skill power approaching this level.
As a super-tier skill, reaching just over 5,000 seemed less than satisfactory.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see that at this very moment, on the testing equipment, similar prompts appeared dozens of times, and almost every second, they appeared ten or more times. Clearly, this was not a simple concept.
Evidently, the direct attack of the 'Gardener's Whip' skill from the Thorn Garden alone had this level of power. As a domain-type skill, the attack frequency and domain characteristics of the Thorn Garden were the real keys.
Compared to directly testing the skill's power, the assessment of Wood seemed somewhat unfair.
"Not bad!"
Su Ping smiled and nodded, rubbing the neck of Wood, who had just stopped using his skill, feeling a bit of pain from the rough wolf hair.
"Little guy, do you hold grudges?" Su Ping asked, seeing Wood's affectionate expression.
"Woof!"
Wood let out a mournful howl, making Su Ping and the nearby Qin Xiaoxue smile and purse their lips.
"Alright, next time I'll prepare some Thorny Red Crystal Fruit for you to eat."
Wood immediately changed his expression, grinning widely, then extended his bluish-pink tongue to lick Su Ping's face playfully, leaving the latter covered in drool before stopping.
Compared to Little Qing, Wood had a less arrogant temperament.
After all, there was Lao Sha's previous experience in the Devil Capital Academy as a lesson.
Wood could be arrogant towards anyone except the person in front of him.
The thoughts of pets were simple, and even a pet with imperial-level potential like Wood was no exception.
If Qin Xiaoxue was the master, then the person in front of him was like an 'external cheat' existence.
—The reason Wood was so strong at this level was because of the 'external cheat' cultivation given by the person in front of him. How could the wolf, constantly cultivated by the 'external cheat', defeat Wood?
In just ten matches, the Mediterranean Dragon's evolution has already proven to be a pain. But as for their own Dragon, they know that it's because of their rich owner's lavish resource investment.
Of course, Wood knows that it's not bad to be in Qin Xiaoxue's hands as one of her main battle pets. However, occasionally, Wood also thinks that if he could be a contract pet under Su Ping, he might have a broader and more open future.
So, understanding this logic, Wood doesn't feel too troubled about it.
His acceptance of this result is even faster than his own owner.
Ignoring the few tree fruits that pacified the pets, Qin Xiaoxue turned to Su Ping:
"For tomorrow's finals, are you confident?"
Su Ping thought about it and still nodded:
"I definitely have confidence. Even you are not my opponent, let alone others?"
"Hmph!"
Miss Qin snorted lightly: "That's because I let you. Shen'er still has an ace up her sleeve."
Su Ping didn't bother to inquire further, as they still had some tacit understanding. The Thousand One, which has never been used, is also a factor. He asked a similar question:
"In tomorrow's finals, entering the top five shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Qin Xiaoxue shrugged:
"Mu Hanchan might be a bit troublesome, but Shen Fu shouldn't be a problem. The top five shouldn't be a big issue! However, I'm not that keen on Dragon pets. Moreover, among these five Dragon pets, there isn't a Wood Dragon or any other Dragon I desire."
Qin Xiaoxue had mentioned this to Su Ping before.
Among all the people, probably only Miss Qin could say such words without a care.
However, it's not entirely baseless.
Su Ping nodded: "Can't we make a change?"
Qin Xiaoxue shook her head:
"How is that possible? If we could freely choose and replace, suitable Dragon pets wouldn't be so hard to come by! Initially, the old lady, after breaking through, didn't have a suitable Dragon pet at hand, so she gave the subsequent qualification to the old man.
Perhaps, in the entire Dragon City, there might not be a suitable Wood or Life Dragon pet for me to contract.
Since the five rewarded Dragons have already been prepared in advance, there's no reason to allow for a change. The Crystal Dragon, Lava Dragon, Frost God Dragon, Wraith God Dragon, and Steel Dragon, these five shouldn't change."
At this point, Qin Xiaoxue suddenly looked at Su Ping:
"By the way, you're now in the top three, and choosing a Dragon is a done deal. Among these five, which one will you pick?"
Su Ping thought for a moment:
"Any of them is fine. But if I get to choose first, I'd probably pick the Crystal Dragon."
The Crystal Dragon, though considered a Western Dragon in the conventional sense, doesn't carry much weight in this context on Blue Planet. In Dragon Country, a Dragon is a Dragon, whether it be a Giant Dragon or a Divine Dragon.
Relatively speaking, Su Ping values the spatial Dragon more.
After all, the Divine Dragon Legend and the promise made by the chatty Candle Old Man are both related to a time-related Dragon.
Having both space and time, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Qin Xiaoxue wasn't surprised, as she understood Su Ping too well.
Moreover, spatial Dragons are rarely seen in Dragon Country's history, and they not be attractive.
"And the next choice?"
Qin Xiaoxue asked.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Each person can only choose one. What do you mean by 'next choice'?"
"Come on, tell me!" Qin Xiaoxue said in a rare tone.
"Hmm, next would be the Wraith God Dragon."
Su Ping thought for a moment.
"Why?"
Qin Xiaoxue was surprised: "Among the five Dragon pets, three Giant Dragons and two Divine Dragons, I thought you'd choose the Frost God Dragon!"
Su Ping shrugged:
"Second Uncle has been kind to me. Previously, he wanted me to join Dragon City's Burial Ground inheritance to contribute to the research on undead Dragon species, but due to my special circumstances, I couldn't fulfill his wish.
The Wraith God Dragon, as an undead Divine Dragon, would fulfill Second Uncle's wish."
He paused and continued:
"As for the Frost God Dragon... it's also excellent, being a Dragon Seed of the Four Seas Dragon. However, if Mu Hanchan enters the top five, no one would be foolish enough to compete with her for it."
Qin Xiaoxue didn't express any opinions on this, instead nodding in agreement.
No one is that foolish.
For everyone, any of these Dragon Seeds might hold the same significance.
And Mu Hanchan was different.
As a pure Ice-type Beast Master, if she could make it to the top five and claim Frost Dragon first, the rules allowed for such a move.
But wouldn't that be a blatant provocation? Why antagonize a Beast Master with almost a hundred percent potential to become an Imperial Beast Master?
Even a wealthy and influential family like the Chen family wouldn't do something so foolish.
Moreover, Frost Dragon, being an Ice-type, held no particular interest for Su Ping, just like the Lava Giant Dragon.
It was even less appealing than the Steel Dragon.
The Steel Dragon, being a Gold-type Dragon, was special in Su Ping's hands, especially with the Proud Dragon, a unique Mechanical Dragon, given to him by Saint Dragon Legend.
The Proud Dragon might inherently possess Gold-type attributes.
Naturally, Su Ping's interest in the Steel Dragon was only average.
Even though he heard that this Steel Dragon was different from the typical Gold and Silver Dragons of the Gold-type Dragon race.
"Alright, what's the point of talking about this now? Don't let that Crystal Dragon be snatched away by Ye Zou if we don't get first place! Time and Space correspond to attributes, and without a Time-type Dragon this time, this guy is definitely eyeing the Crystal Dragon!"
"Go rest early. Tomorrow is the last tough battle!"
Su Ping exhaled deeply, stretching his lazy body.
When today's professional assessment ended, it was already past ten o'clock.
After returning to the club and testing the power of the Wood Thorn Garden skill, it was already past midnight.
Qin Xiaoxue nodded, storing the Wood Beast in her Beast Control Space.
However, just as Qin Xiaoxue was about to turn and leave the testing ground, she turned back and saw Su Ping standing in place, as if dazed, lost in thought.
"What are you doing? Why aren't you leaving?"
Su Ping blinked, nodded, and hurriedly followed Qin Xiaoxue out.
Qin Xiaoxue looked at Su Ping strangely, puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand what he was thinking.
However, as he took his first step, Su Ping's consciousness and attention were not on his departure but were instead focused on the Ten Thousand Spirit Tome, which had suddenly displayed unusual changes!
Indeed, at the moment Qin Xiaoxue stored the Wood Beast, a special feedback appeared on one of the pages of the Ten Thousand Spirit Tome.
It was on the Forest Wolf Tome, which had already reached level 4.
Moreover, this feedback was invaluable to Su Ping:
"The evolved 'Crowned Wolf King' has mastered the super-tier skill 'Wood Thorn Garden.' Gain 2,000 points of Forest Wolf Tome experience and 200 points of general experience."
This number wasn't very high.
Compared to the experience gained from cultivating the Sun Heart and the Five Elements Body, it was even less.
Describing it as barely acceptable wouldn't be an exaggeration.
However, Su Ping understood that the Crowned Wolf King wasn't his creation. In fact, its cultivation and perfection were achieved through the Ten Thousand Spirit Tome.
Usually, cultivating such a super-tier skill might not even yield experience rewards.
What shocked Su Ping so much was not just the experience gain but also another feedback from the branch records of the Forest Wolf Tome:
"The evolved 'Crowned Wolf King' has mastered the racial super-tier skill 'Wood Thorn Garden.' It can consume 10,000 points of Forest Wolf experience to analyze the combination and requirements of this racial super-tier skill!"
Indeed, what left Su Ping momentarily speechless was this special feedback.
"Analyze the skill combination and requirements!" In a sense, this was almost equivalent to solving the cultivation method for this super-tier skill! Although there were some differences, for Su Ping, it was as simple as that.
The existence of super-tier skills was incredibly rare and precious.
Most super-tier skills were racial skills.
Whether it was Chen Zhan's Wind Domain or Mu Hanchan's Absolute Zero, they existed in this manner.
These racial super-tier skills were naturally mastered by the young Beast after reaching a certain level of growth.
Cultivating another super-tier skill was challenging and didn't need further explanation.
If one could cultivate a Beast with a racial super-tier skill and then transfer that cultivation method to other Beasts, there was no doubt that this person would be considered a Master Breeder.
Su Ping hadn't thought about this aspect before.
But he never imagined that it could actually be done!
