Chapter 66: Su Ping? What a Familiar Name! (Part 1)
Chapter 66: Su Ping? What a Familiar Name! (Part 1)
The second floor of the Breeder Association building was filled with various meeting rooms, offices, lecture halls, and classrooms. However, the laboratories of the breeders were not located in the main building.
In reality, the main building only had two floors.
Despite the relatively low number of floors, the size of the second floor was quite substantial, as evidenced by the spacious lobby on the first floor.
If not for Zheng Yong's guidance, Su Ping might have gotten lost trying to navigate the building on his own.
Zheng Yong had mentioned his familiarity with the Breeder Association, and it seemed he wasn't boasting. He confidently led Su Ping through a series of twists and turns to a classroom on the second floor.
Surprisingly, unlike the sparsely populated areas in other realms, there were several people gathered at the entrance of this classroom.
As the classroom door opened, a few individuals who appeared to be of a certain age entered with smiles on their faces after Su Ping's arrival.
The younger Beastmasters sitting outside the classroom door watched these figures with a mix of excitement and envy.
"Alright, let's wait here for a while."
Zheng Yong took a seat on one of the rowed chairs outside the classroom.
Su Ping blinked,
He wasn't foolish and quickly understood that the seats outside were designated for the wolf companion Beastmasters awaiting their turn.
Those who had just entered the classroom were the breeders waiting for Liu Teacher's lecture.
Although they arrived together, their positions were clearly distinguished based on their status and rank.
Even a junior breeder held a much higher status than an ordinary Beastmaster. After all, anyone who reached the age of eighteen and formed a contract with their first beast could be considered a Beastmaster.
However, becoming a recognized breeder within the association was an incredibly challenging feat.
Su Ping didn't pay much attention to these distinctions. Sitting outside was perfectly fine, especially since he didn't know anyone within the Breeder Association.
Going inside would only mean enduring a dull wait.
It was better to chat with Zheng Yong.
Unfortunately, just as Su Ping sat down, a voice called out from behind him:
"Su Ping?"
Turning around, he saw Sun Chaorju, the intermediate breeder from Shuhua City, standing not too far away. Beside him was a younger man who also looked at Su Ping with surprise.
Since their previous encounter, Su Ping had developed a slightly better impression of this breeder. Hearing his voice, Su Ping smiled and nodded:
"Breeder Sun, you're here too?"
"Of course! How could I miss Liu Teacher's lecture? What are you doing out here? Come on in, and I'll introduce you to some friends from the Breeder Association. They should get to know you, the rising star."
Sun Chaorju spoke with a hint of teasing, but his words were true.
The ordinary Beastmasters who frequented the lobby on the first floor were one thing, but among the breeders listed in the current Breeder Association, very few were unaware of Su Ping's name.
The reason was simple: he was too young.
Although Linzhou City was vast, secrets were hard to keep within specialized circles.
The bet between Sun Chaorju and Su Ping, witnessed by Vice President Liu himself, was no longer a secret.
In the upper echelons of the Breeder circles in Linzhou, and even across Jianghai Province, who didn't know that one of Vice President Liu's disciples, Sun Zhongpei, had lost to a newly graduated student in wolf companion cultivation? And he lost so convincingly.
This time, Vice President Liu's course was titled "The Direction and Growth Potential of Wolf Companion Evolution and Subsequent Training."
This course was relatively advanced, and even with Vice President Liu's renowned teaching skills, it's not something an ordinary breeder can easily grasp.
Beast evolution is one of the most critical topics in a breeder's curriculum.
One of the reasons for the large turnout for this course was to personally witness the young genius breeder who has been making waves in Linzhou. Su Ping, who had been invited by Sun Chaoru, seemed helpless and glanced at Zheng Yong with a puzzled expression.
"I have something to attend to, I'll be going now," Su Ping said as he started to leave.
Zheng Yong cautiously glanced at Sun Chaoru. He didn't recognize Sun Chaoru personally, but the seal on his chest clearly indicated he was an Intermediate Breeder.
Zheng Yong quickly responded, "No problem, you go ahead."
Su Ping nodded and followed Sun Chaoru towards the classroom, while Sun Chaoru continued talking as they walked, "Su Ping, this is Mu Hang Mu, a breeder. Don't let his youth fool you; he's also an Intermediate Breeder, specializing in Shadow Wolf cultivation, which is rare in Jianghai Province..."
"So, you're Mu Hang Mu, I've heard of you before," Su Ping replied.
"Haha... Old Sun is teasing me. Who can be as young as Su Ping? I wish I had such youth," Mu Hang Mu said with a laugh.
Zheng Yong was left bewildered as he watched them walk away.
At that moment, a young Beastmaster who was clearly acquainted with Zheng Yong approached him.
"Old Zheng, who's that guy? He seems pretty close to those two breeders," the young man asked.
Zheng Yong glanced at the speaker, his face filled with suspicion.
How could he know the guy's background? Who knows who you might bump into in the lobby downstairs? And he had never seen this stranger before.
Although they seemed to get along well, it wouldn't be appropriate to inquire about someone's background upon the first meeting.
Zheng Yong opened his mouth to speak, "I don't know, but I assume he's related to that breeder somehow?"
He wasn't entirely sure.
However, seeing the warm interaction between the two, Zheng Yong felt a twinge of envy. Having relatives or friends who are breeders can provide unimaginable advantages for a Beastmaster's future development, allowing them to avoid many detours.
Although Zheng Yong had some connections within the Breeder Association, which granted him the opportunity to be a 'model' for Vice President Liu's class, he still had a long way to go compared to an Intermediate Breeder.
"What's his name?" the young man asked curiously.
Zheng Yong thought for a moment before replying, "Su Ping, I think his name is Su Ping."
"Su Ping? That name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere," the young man said.
Zheng Yong looked at him suspiciously, wondering why the name sounded familiar to this guy as well.
"What are you still doing here? Get ready, President Liu has arrived," Zheng Yong said, bringing the conversation to a close.
