Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Busy, Prospects of Space Characteristics!

Linzhou City Center.

Atop a towering skyscraper, Dong Muyun, dressed in a sharp business suit, looked down at a person kneeling on one knee before her in the vast office on the highest floor. It was hard to imagine that the practice of kneeling still existed in this day and age. Yet, neither of them felt the slightest bit uncomfortable, and the kneeling person began to speak directly.

”Miss, the information on Su Ping that you asked me to investigate has been gathered.”

”Speak.”

”Su Ping, eighteen years old this year, graduated from Linzhou’s Sixth Basic Beast Taming Academy. His grandfather, Su Zhongguang, was a Monarch Level Beastmaster who sacrificed himself to defend against the Beast Tide in Linzhou twenty years ago, leaving behind the Heart of Woods Pet Beast Breeding Base. His father, Su Anyong, is a layabout who has never shown any Beast Tamer abilities; his strength is unknown. Recently, he left Linzhou for Beihai City. Our family’s influence doesn’t extend much into the northeast region, so the purpose of his trip there remains unknown...”

Dong Muyun was getting impatient. ”Don’t tell me that after all these days, this is all you’ve found? I don’t need this kind of information!”

”Yes. After Su Ping graduated, in a very short time, it seems he adjusted and improved upon the secret breeding formula left by his grandfather, Su Zhongguang. He developed the cultivation results of the Forest Wolf’s Heart of Woods. Then, by a stroke of fate, he met Liu Fuhai and subsequently obtained the Intermediate Level Breeder certification from the Breeder Association...”

If Su Ping were here, he would surely realize that the speaker was now revealing all his recent activities quite clearly. Apart from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, everything Su Ping did in contact with the outside world over the past month had been thoroughly scrutinized.

And the more she heard, the darker Dong Muyun’s expression became. ”Qin Erlong’s granddaughter? How did she come to know this brat and form a close relationship...”

The person kneeling on one knee was also puzzled. ”It seems to be precisely because of the connection through the Heart of Woods cultivation. Moreover, Miss Qin clearly values this Su Ping very highly... Some days ago, she even used her connections to send him an extremely precious resource through the mail.”

”What resource?” Dong Muyun looked at her servant with suspicion. This family servant had served the Dong Family for decades and was naturally well-informed. If he called it extremely precious, what could it be?

”The Stone of Creation.”

Dong Muyun’s eyes widened in shock. ”What?”

”The Stone of Creation, a resource used by Emperor Level Peak Beastmasters, can awaken additional Space Characteristics like ’ecological cycle’ within the Beast Taming Space.”

Of course, Dong Muyun knew what the Stone of Creation was, but what she didn’t understand was, what kind of enchantment did this brat work on that young lady to make her give up such a thing? She hadn’t even used such a thing herself! Even the unknown Secret Realm’s highest-valued resources might not compare to the Stone of Creation—it was still uncertain.

”Dong Si, I want accurate information, not some baseless rumors! This Qin Xiaoxue, even as the granddaughter of Qin Erlong, the head of Jianghai Province’s Beast Master Association, doesn’t have the authority to mobilize resources of that level from the Magic Capital Academy for an outsider, does she?!” Dong Muyun immediately felt like the person before her was talking nonsense.

Dong Si gave a wry smile, then slowly stood up, moved beside Dong Muyun, and whispered something into her ear. Afterward, under the young lady’s astonished and horrified gaze, he returned to his original position and continued speaking before she could react, ”Miss, the fact that she didn’t deliberately suppress the news from spreading indicates a certain vague attitude. Even the Dong Family wouldn’t dare to take that gamble...”

Dong Muyun slowly came to her senses, her teeth biting her red lips. She said fiercely, ”So you’re telling me, I really can’t do anything about that little bastard?”

”...”

BANG!

A piece of precious crystal porcelain shattered into fragments.

「...」

PHEW!

Lying in bed, Su Ping finally let out a long breath. So tired. During the day, training the Forest Wolves required constant attention to their movements. He had to run back and forth due to their large numbers to prevent serious injuries, leaving him physically exhausted. Then, Old Sha began its evolution. For the next three to four days, he had to watch over Old Sha, ensuring it chewed wood, consumed Wood Spirit Herbs, and Hundred Herbs Juice to facilitate moisture while also absorbing sunlight. He also had to record everything that happened during this evolution process, so his brain was tired. Now, at night, he needed to increase contact with the little Paperman, trying to further improve their relationship and begin cultivating Accelerated Casting, which made him mentally even more drained. Overall, for the past two days, apart from exhaustion, he really couldn’t identify any other feeling. Of course, alongside the tiredness, there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

The Heart of Woods now, compared to when he took over a month ago, was completely transformed and vastly different. Beyond Old Sha and Xiao Qing, he had a total of fifty Forest Wolves. The previous twenty-five all now possessed the Heart of Woods, and their strength was growing with extreme rapidity. Originally, there were only seven at Elite Level, but in this short period, the number of Elite Level Forest Wolves had directly broken through to fifteen. Although Xiao Qing hadn’t advanced her Realm like he had, she could also feel some improvement. Then there was the effect of the linked Skill Cultivation. After Su Ping’s Level rose to Ordinary Ninth Rank, the linking effect could simultaneously cover nineteen of them. The speed of skill improvement was so fast that almost every day, one or two Forest Wolves completed their advancement. If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably unrealistic and impossible for all these Forest Wolves to achieve Perfection Level, but reaching at least Proficiency, with the top ones becoming Proficient, was absolutely no problem.

Such an elite Forest Wolf team, once Su Ping made his breakthrough, could be placed into the Beast Taming Space. When that time came, whoever dared to defy him would face a direct release of the hounds! Thinking of this scene made Su Ping reveal a slight smile, but then his thoughts turned to another matter. It wasn’t about Old Sha’s evolution. Old Sha was still absorbing sunlight, and the time had not yet come for him to comprehend Photosynthesis. What Su Ping was thinking about was something else. These past two days, as he further interacted with the little Paperman and began to cultivate its Accelerated Casting, he could feel that its closeness to him had increased again. Therefore, Su Ping asked the little Paperman about that Secret Realm. As for whether there would be any movement from Dong Muyun’s side regarding this Secret Realm, Su Ping still didn’t know. Thus, he wanted to understand as much as possible, but unfortunately, although the little Paperman had no intention of hiding anything, it didn’t make itself clear enough. Its expressions were not clear. After all, although the little Paperman’s intelligence was stronger than many Ordinary Level Pet Beasts, it was still an Ordinary Level Pet Beast.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t enter now; the little Paperman also expressed that it couldn’t bring other people back ”home.” Of course, even if he could enter, Su Ping was not foolish enough to just enter indiscriminately at this time. Who knew what might be inside? Regardless, he would have to wait until he had a certain level of strength. The little Paperman was safe there, but he was not so naive. Its Sword Soul Mark had a significant connection to this Secret Realm, but he was a genuine outsider. At the very least, he had to wait until Old Sha completed its evolution and truly became the Wanmu Wolf, and with the help of the wolf pack, only then would Su Ping have some confidence. It would be even better if he could find a bodyguard!

He shook his head. Who knew when the Secret Realm would truly appear. Moreover, its emergence would definitely be preceded by signs. The sudden appearance of the little Paperman was probably a special case. Unfortunately, on one hand, Su Ping’s understanding of some of the advanced knowledge and experiences in the world of Beast Tamers was really not extensive, making him actually want to go back to school. And now, he couldn’t casually talk or ask about the little Paperman’s situation to avoid arousing others’ covetousness. It was better to wait until he reached the Elite Level himself and completely formed a contract with the little guy, making it a Contracted Beast, before feeling a bit of confidence.

With this thought, Su Ping slowly closed his eyes and once again immersed his spiritual power into the Beast Taming Space. That narrow and cramped, dim space now had a special feeling of emerging from darkness into the light. It was as if a single lamp instantly illuminated a thousand-year-old dark chamber, dispelling all gloom and darkness with a trace of light. At the same time, he even felt wisps of wind in his own Beast Taming Space! That’s right, for the first time, there was airflow in his Beast Taming Space! This was the divine effect of the Stone of Creation. These past few days, Su Ping had been so busy that he hardly touched the ground, yet his Meditation Realm still improved to a certain extent. All thanks to the Stone of Creation. And now that there was the first change in airflow inside the Beast Taming Space, its significance was extraordinary. The ecological cycle, a Space Characteristic, makes the ecological environment basically similar to the rules of the outside world and is suitable for almost all Beast Taming Spaces. It also enhances the effects of many other Space Characteristics.

Satisfied, he nodded. He was really looking forward to seeing what Space Characteristics, in addition to this ecological cycle, would appear after his breakthrough to the Elite Level. He hoped to get some that had high potential and strong effects. As for whether they would be combat-oriented, healing, cultivation, or Resource Type Space Characteristics, Su Ping didn’t mind any particular type. All four had their benefits. However, if he had to choose, Resource Type characteristics were certainly more flexible, allowing for the production of resources that could be sold or exchanged if not needed, right? True, Resource Type characteristics were very average in effect when a Beast Tamer’s Realm was low. However, combat and cultivation Space Characteristics demanded higher requirements from Pet Beasts; if they didn’t share the same category or Attribute, the effects would diminish.

With this curiosity and anticipation for the future, Su Ping could no longer hold on. Without even washing up, he simply fell into a deep sleep.
