Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 22 - 22 Thereʼs No Such Thing as Impossible!

”This is impossible!”

The speaker was none other than Sun Chaoju, head of the Wolf Den base and an Intermediate Breeder personally recognized by the Breeder Association.

However, as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt Qin Xiaoxueʼs icy stare and quickly tried to explain, ”Miss Qin, please donʼt misunderstand. Itʼs just that, how could a student who has just graduated possibly...”

”Why couldnʼt it be possible?”

It seemed that after receiving a text message, Qin Xiaoxue, who had been slightly anxious, relaxed a great deal. She huffed, ”In the Dragon Nation, the current Master of the Divine Dragon was also nineteen when he discovered the special evolutionary path of the Yellow Scaled Snake, leading to the True Dragon Blessing we have today!”

Sun Chaoju opened his mouth but couldnʼt find anything else to say. If sheʼs comparing this unknown kid with the Legendary Divine Dragon, what more is there to say?

The bald President Liu asked doubtfully, ”Xiao Xue, within the soul connection, havenʼt you felt anything abnormal with your Pet Beast?”

Looking at the three people before her—even her own grandfather—all wearing expressions of disbelief, Qin Xiaoxue grew impatient. She had no intention of wasting time bickering with these old men; she just wanted to see how much her beloved Pet Beast, Woodhead, had improved in strength after mastering the Heart of Woods.

”If you donʼt believe it, just come with me and see for yourself.” The three people present had clearly been waiting for exactly this.

Taking the Beast Master Associationʼs flyer, it only took twenty minutes to travel from the Linzhou City Center directly to the suburbs.

Looking over the Lingxi River territory, Qin Erlong nodded. ”Say what you will, the environment is still quite nice. It seems that recent development here has been good.”

Qin Xiaoxue wasnʼt in the mood to listen to her grandfatherʼs work guidance. She quickly walked to the gate and rang the doorbell, calling out as she did, ”Su Ping! Hurry up and open the door, Iʼm here!”

No sooner had her words fallen than the gate opened.

Su Pingʼs voice came from the intercom, ”Come in. Itʼs in the guest room!”

Qin Erlong and President Liu said nothing, following behind their granddaughter, who seemed almost ready to take flight.

Only Sun Chaoju looked around disdainfully. The place is indeed not small, but can this Cultivation base even be called a Cultivation base? Itʼs a bit too shabby, isnʼt it? He still couldnʼt believe that an unknown nobody could cultivate a Forest Wolf with a rare Skill like the Heart of Woods. Having studied the Cultivation of Forest Wolves for many years, Sun Chaoju understood all too well what this Skill meant for a Forest Wolf!

At this thought, Sun Chaojuʼs spirits lifted, ready for action. Just now, Qin Xiaoxue showed me no respect at all, and she even used this unknown whippersnapper as an example, comparing him to the Master of the Divine Dragon? Wait until I expose this kidʼs deception.

Sun Chaoju prided himself on his research on the Forest Wolf; in Linzhou City, he believed few could compare. He not only possessed a secret technique to cultivate the Rapid Casting Skill in Forest Wolves but could also increase their Racial Skill learning speed. He had even set a record for the fastest improvement: a Forest Wolfʼs Sunlight Absorption Skill upgraded from Beginner to Proficiency in just half a month.

It was precisely because of such secret techniques that the Wolf Den had gained a certain reputation in Jianghai Province.

He previously had no idea that Miss Qin had visited their Wolf Den in disguise for Cultivation. Otherwise, wouldnʼt he have worshipped her like an ancestor? However, it seems a bit late now to start cozying up to her. Since thatʼs the case, I can only make Miss Qin realize that our Wolf Den is the best Forest Wolf Cultivation base in all of Linzhou! I have to make Miss Qin believe in our Wolf Den again. But what method did this kid use to deceive people? Does he have some kind of simulation Ability, allowing other Pet Beasts to temporarily possess a certain Skill, like the Mirror Heaven Reflection Talent among Beast Tamers? That could achieve a similar effect. Or perhaps some forbidden method was used, like overdrawing the Forest Wolfʼs Life Force and then forcing it to master the Heart of Woods through training. All these are possibilities.

Finally, under Sun Chaojuʼs eager anticipation, the four of them pushed open the main doors. As soon as they stepped inside, not just the others, but Qin Xiaoxue too couldnʼt help but widen her eyes in amazement.

What am I seeing? Nobody understands Woodheadʼs character better than I do. Or rather, most Pet Beasts from the Wolf Tribe are like that: proud and aloof, looking down on everyone except their master and their own kind. Even Breeders, in Woodheadʼs eyes, are just servants there to serve it. But now... Woodhead is like the most obedient pug, squatting on the ground, affectionately licking Su Pingʼs outstretched palm! Thatʼs right! Am I seeing things? Is that... sycophancy... from my Woodhead?

”Youʼre here... Huh? Who are these people?” Su Ping asked, wiping his damp palm on Woodheadʼs temple fur before turning to see Qin Xiaoxue and the others who had entered.

Qin Xiaoxue clearly had no intention of introducing them to Su Ping; her eyes glowed as she stared at Woodhead. During the past few days of Cultivation, to ensure Woodheadʼs intimacy with Su Ping reached the required level, Su Ping had strictly limited Qin Xiaoxueʼs contact with her Pet Beast, as its owner. She had missed Woodhead terribly.

Now, she threw her arms around Woodheadʼs neck and nuzzled it.

”AWOO!” Woodhead also let out an excited howl.

Meeting Su Pingʼs inquiring gaze, Qin Erlong coughed lightly. ”Hello, Student Su. I am this girlʼs grandfather. I heard you were cultivating my granddaughterʼs Pet Beast? I didnʼt expect Linzhou to have such a young and promising Breeder, so I came to take a look.”

Su Ping was startled, then quickly nodded. Thatʼs more like it! No matter how rich the family is, itʼs normal for them to come and confirm the spending of several million on Cultivation fees.

Realizing he was dealing with the financiers, Su Pingʼs face instantly wreathed in smiles as he nodded again.

However, Su Pingʼs gaze soon shifted to another person present, his expression somewhat strange.

Following Su Pingʼs gaze, Qin Erlong couldnʼt help but turn his head. Sure enough, the other two beside him were staring intently at the sole massive Forest Wolf in the room. Sun Chaoju, in particular, had streaks of data flickering in his pupils; clearly, his Talent as a Beast Tamer was one of the more common ones: the Eye of Truth.

And at that moment, reflected in the eyes of the Wolf Denʼs head, an Intermediate Breeder, the huge words ʼHeart of Woods (Beginner)ʼ emanating from Woodhead were blindingly bright. Was the Cultivation really successful?

”How is this possible!?”

This time, the exclamation, even louder than Sun Chaojuʼs earlier one, came not from the Intermediate Breeder but from Vice President Liu of the Breeder Association, who was staring fixedly at Woodhead.
