Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Experience Enhancement, Invaluable Lessons! (Second Update)

”Su Ping, this is Mr. Zhao, a Breeder from Linzhou City. He specializes in breeding Snow Wolves. Old Zhao is the most experienced among us,” someone introduced.

”Hello, Mr. Zhao...”

”Oh, oh, oh, a hero emerges from youth...”

”Su Ping, this is Breeder Yang He. Old Yang is not a simple man; not only does he specialize in breeding Sand Wolves, but he also has deep research on plant-type Pet Beasts like the Poplar variety,” someone continued.

”...”

It was evident that Sun Chaoju was quite adept at social interactions. He knew all seven Intermediate Breeders present and, by the looks of it, had good relations with all of them.

Su Ping didn’t put on any airs either. Everyone helps carry the sedan chair; unless there was a special circumstance, there was no need to be overly distant. The same went for the even more numerous Junior Breeders.

Moreover, although Su Ping didn’t particularly enjoy social occasions, it was undeniable that establishing good relationships with these people was necessary.

What if he could get some benefits from them?

Sun Chaoju’s Accelerated Casting, transformed through the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, had remarkable effects. Those who could stand here were obviously elites, each with their own Pet Beast Cultivation Skills.

This time, no one showed any disdain for Su Ping’s young age. Those who had made it this far were no fools; Su Ping’s youth wasn’t a detriment but rather an incredibly positive factor.

It’s better to deceive an old man than to deceive a youth in poverty.

Moreover, this particular youth wasn’t ’poor’ at all.

After Sun Chaoju’s formidable achievements, even the coldest Breeder cracked a smile and nodded when introduced to Su Ping.

Su Ping remembered these people, exchanged contact information with them, and then started talking about recent events.

The Shadow Wolf Breeder Mu Hang, who clearly had the best relationship with Sun Chaoju, joked with a laugh, ”You sly old Sun, secretly discovering a new Evolution path for the Forest Wolf and not sharing it with your brothers. Now look, Su Ping has won.”

”Su Ping winning was something I wholeheartedly accepted. Besides, that Wanmu Wolf was too difficult. I experimented with materials worth hundreds of millions, but in the end, ah, I can only pin my hopes on Su Ping...” he trailed off, and his expression said it all about the outcome.

Nobody felt much sympathy for him, and someone even teased with a laugh, ”This guy is putting on an act again. I’m torn right now. I hope Su Ping can work out a stable Evolution path for the Wanmu Wolf, bringing fame to Jianghai Province once more.

”Yet, I don’t want it to succeed so that old Sun can boast about his discovery and earn a huge pile of Points.”

At those words, everyone turned their gaze to Su Ping. Breeder Zhao, the oldest among them—who, despite being as senior as Vice President Liu, looked more ancient due to a lower Beast Taming Level—asked with a smile, ”Su Ping, are you confident?”

Was I confident? I had already figured it out and was just waiting to gather the materials at the Breeder Association before heading back to start the formal Evolution and Cultivation.

Regrettably, Su Ping clearly couldn’t state this outright.

An Evolution route that Sun Chaoju nearly spent two years on and couldn’t develop, yet I completely figured it out in less than a week? This was no longer about being exceptionally talented; it was astonishing. Although unlikely to end up sliced for study, there was no need to attract such attention at this time.

So, in response to Mr. Zhao’s question, Su Ping simply smiled. ”I’m confident!”

”Confidence is a good thing. It seems that Linzhou might produce the youngest Senior Breeder in Jianghai Province!”

A smile-filled voice resonated from a distance, and everyone looked up. Sure enough, Vice President Liu had already entered the classroom unnoticed.

”Good day, President Liu.”

”Mr. Liu!”

”Hello, Old Liu!”

A series of greetings ensued, and Old Liu responded to each with a nod and a smile. Then, quite swiftly, his expression turned serious. ”Alright, let’s save catching up for later. Everyone knows what today’s topic is.”

Old Liu got into the groove incredibly fast. He stepped directly onto the podium above, which gave Su Ping a sudden flashback to a few months prior. However, the material Old Liu taught was much deeper and more complex than the basics imparted at the Beast Taming Academy a few months ago.

Yet, the lesson Old Liu was teaching now actually had some relevance to Su Ping. It was about the direction of Wolf Pet Evolutionary Bodies, their growth and development potential, and their subsequent Cultivation!

The lecture began with the direction of these Evolutionary Bodies.

Wolf Pets, with their broad appeal among Beast Tamers, had many developed evolutionary pathways. For example, the Forest Wolf had evolved forms like the higher-ranking Forest Wolf and the Elf Wolf.

Of course, I now know about the Crown Wolf Emperor, the highest-level superior Evolutionary Body I’ve learned of so far.

And Old Liu’s class was all about deciding future Evolution based on skill levels, the Pet Beast’s character, and developmental trajectory. From this, they would even deduce and experiment with new evolutionary paths, noting the issues and characteristics to look out for.

The course was deep, but Old Liu explained it in a very simple way. Even a half-baked student like Su Ping could understand it.

In fact, Su Ping was so engrossed in the hour-long lecture that he didn’t feel the passage of time at all. If possible, I truly wish such classes would never end.

The reason was simple: just five minutes ago, a new notification had appeared in the journal and record section under the Forest Wolf entry in his Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas:

[Your understanding of Forest Wolf evolutionary analysis has deepened, corresponding breeder knowledge increased, Forest Wolf Catalog Experience Points +250.]

Could attending classes have such benefits? Well, that made sense. For each Catalog entry in the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, one needed a comprehensive understanding and recognition of the corresponding Pet Beast. My ongoing close association with those Forest Wolves was indeed for this very purpose.

Thus, Su Ping listened more attentively than anyone, prompting Old Liu, who had been quietly observing him from the podium, to nod approvingly to himself.

Finally, when Old Liu at the podium paused to take a drink of water, the class evidently moved into a new phase. ”Okay, now let’s do a test. A few colleagues, come up. Based on the Ability types and even the temperament of your Pet Beasts, analyze the corresponding evolutionary choices...”

”Su Ping...”

As expected, Su Ping was the first to be called. He was an Intermediate Breeder specializing in Forest Wolves. Counting him and Sun Chaoju, there were three such specialists in total, but only Su Ping himself came forward. The others who came forward were Breeders of other Wolf Pets.

And all who came up were Intermediate Breeders; after all, the topic of Pet Beast Evolution and Cultivation already fell under the purview of Senior Breeders. Junior Breeders could, at best, only grasp the basics.

Once a few people stepped forward, Old Liu turned to his assistant and said, ”Alright, let those little fellows who have prepared their Pet Beasts come over.”
