Chapter 44: Proficient-Level Poisonous Vine Strangulation! Xiao Qing's Advancement! (Part 3)
Hmm?
As Su Ping observed the feedback from Xiao Qing in the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Although he didn't see any progress in Xiao Qing through the Real Eye, the manifestation in the book indicated her condition.
Aside from everything else, the mere fact that the experience value required to analyze Xiao Qing's bloodline mutation using the consumed Wolf experience had decreased was already excellent news.
Even though it was just a decrease of a mere ten experience points, this was only the beginning. If Xiao Qing's toxic bloodline was enhanced accordingly and helped her consume toxic resources, would the experience value needed for analysis continue to decrease in the future?
Compared to the toxic resources that could be bought with money, there was no doubt that the experience value in the book was more precious.
Over time, although there were no other Wolves that met the intimacy requirements, causing a significant increase in the book's experience, Su Ping's experience value in the Wolf record had risen again to over a hundred, nearly reaching two hundred, through daily training and the continuous improvement of these little guys.
Although it was still a distance from two thousand, the experience value was not only used for upgrading the book.
What concerned Su Ping was the improvement of the remaining cultivation methods and the evolution method of the 'Thousand Wood Wolf' that Sun Chaoju would soon lose to him.
With such an incomplete evolution cultivation method, it would undoubtedly require a large amount of experience to compensate.
Su Ping knew he had to prepare himself.
After patting Xiao Qing's head, which still seemed a bit dazed, Su Ping had a new concern.
Mutated beasts were indeed excellent, possessing abilities and development different from other beasts, and even capable of breaking through racial limits like Xiao Qing.
However, there was also a downside: there would be some uncertainty in future evolutions.
Although breeders could modify the materials used during cultivation and evolution based on the mutated attributes, such breeders were extremely rare and hard to come by.
Su Ping's current status was entirely attributed to the power of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits; when it came to cultivation and evolution, he was still a novice.
At this thought, Su Ping's eyes became determined.
There was no doubt about the power of the Book of Ten Thousand Spirits, and perhaps with its improvement, it might be possible to develop a perfect evolution form for mutated beasts like Xiao Qing in the future.
But not now; what Su Ping needed to do now was to improve his breeding skills and truly become an elite breeder!
Thus, he could find a way for Xiao Qing to evolve perfectly in the future!
With this thought, Su Ping's spirit was suddenly rejuvenated.
Time was of the essence.
However, these things couldn't be achieved overnight.
The most important task at hand was to bring Xiao Qing for a test.
Leading Xiao Qing, who had regained her spirits, they arrived outside the forest.
This time, Su Ping didn't use Little Dot as the test subject but instead found a Wolf that had reached the Elite rank.
"San Ha, come here!"
Su Ping was more casual in naming these Wolves, as long as he could recognize them, that was enough.
The Wolf named San Ha strode over with a proud and majestic gait.
Then, in San Ha's resentful gaze, Xiao Qing's purple vines instantly wrapped around him.
The serrated thorns on the vines struggled to pierce through San Ha's unresisting fur.
Su Ping knew his own beast better than any other Wolf.
Soon, he noticed something.
Although Xiao Qing's rank and skill level hadn't improved, Su Ping could sense from San Ha's reaction that the toxicity of Xiao Qing's poisonous vine entanglement had increased.
As for how much and to what extent, it would require extensive testing to determine.
Just as he was about to call off the battle, suddenly, the purple vines on San Ha's body deepened in color, and the vines seemed to have an indescribable quality.
Even the previous vines, which were only as thick as a finger, suddenly transformed into vines as thick as a baby's wrist in an instant!
"Ow~"
The previously slightly resentful and indignant San Ha suddenly let out a painful cry.
Obviously, the recent vine strangulation had made it somewhat uncomfortable, but this sudden change made it feel an indescribable pain, and even a sense of threat!
Su Ping instantly reacted, and his True Sight immediately locked onto Xiao Qing. As expected, at this very moment, Xiao Qing's vine strangulation skill had advanced from the beginner level to proficient!
Although Su Ping was also aware that his pet's skill level would increase rapidly due to the shared connection, Xiao Qing's progress was still beyond his expectations.
Currently, Xiao Qing hadn't even fully mastered her racial skill, with one remaining skill, Accelerated Growth, yet to be comprehended.
However, both Sunlight Absorption and Vine Strangulation had already reached the proficient level.
Of course, this was also due to Xiao Qing's exceptional talent.
At the same time, Su Ping confirmed something else—the 'Tree Vine Strangle' practiced by the Forest Wolf could be shared with Xiao Qing's 'Vine Strangulation.'
Apart from the recently comprehended Self-Healing skill, the only remaining one was Poisonous Wood Heart.
However, this ability was considered a semi-passive skill, and for now, it was only partially effective for Xiao Qing, Wood, and Lao Sha.
Of course, the next issue wasn't much of a problem either!
Su Ping suddenly felt energized as he realized that he had been waiting for this moment after purchasing so many materials for the Heartwood Potion.
He also wanted to try out the other effects and functions of the potion.
Su Ping waved his hand, instructing Xiao Qing, Mu Tou, and the others to continue their previous training. While one group acted as the attackers, the other focused on practicing the 'Self-Healing' skill.
As for Su Ping himself, he shouted:
"Lao Sha!"
"Ow~!"
Lao Sha, who hadn't been called upon by his young master for a long time, immediately perked up his ears, like a loyal old butler, waiting for his master's instructions with his neck stiff.
"Let's go pull some weeds!"
Lao Sha's ears immediately drooped:
"Ow~..."
His voice became weak and powerless because he understood all too well what pulling weeds implied!
Fortunately, this time, apart from the master and servant, there was another helper...
Finally, as night fell, Li Shu, who had been busy all day, returned to his room.
His father, Li Senlin, also called him via video call:
"Son, how is it going with Su Ping? Let me tell you, you rarely meet such an outstanding and impressive classmate. Learn from him diligently, don't be afraid of hard work or fatigue!
This is a rare opportunity. It's our family's good fortune that he's willing to teach you. But we shouldn't forget our manners. When I come to pick you up, I'll bring some gifts for Su Ping. That kid likes... "
Li Shu pursed his lips as he saw his father's earnest anticipation.
He didn't know how to respond to his father.
At this very moment, Li Shu's eyes were filled with profound bewilderment.
Breeder, an intermediate breeder registered with the Breeder Association, according to his father's words and his own understanding, was a genuine superior among men.
In his imagination, a breeder's day would be spent surrounded by pets, casually guiding them to learn various incredible skills.
The speed of improvement was countless times faster than under a beastmaster's guidance, making them revered by countless people.
But today, at the Heartwood Base, he had witnessed Su Ping's day, and he couldn't have understood it better.
What had he done all day following Su Ping?
Or rather, what had Su Ping done in his eyes?
In short: shoveling manure, pulling weeds, and watching pets fight.
In a nutshell, his illusions were shattered.
