Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 134: Chapter 114: Paperman’s Diary, the Concept of Paper Body Joint!_2

The words of that Sword Spirit from the secret realm still echoed in his ears. Whether for himself or for the little Paperman, he had to find a powerful path to strength for Papermen!

However, Su Ping soon became somewhat speechless.

Sun Chaoju had called, saying, ”I’ve asked around. Forget Linzhou City, even in the entire Jianghai Province, there’s almost no Breeder proficient in Papermen. Let alone an Intermediate Breeder capable of developing Cultivation Skills for them.”

”Oh?” Disappointed, Su Ping knew the other party hadn’t called just to tease him.

Indeed, that was the case.

”However, when the teacher heard it was about you, he gave you something.” At this point, the scoundrel’s tone paused slightly.

Su Ping was speechless. He wanted to jump up and give this master-disciple duo, who were just as bad, a blast from an electric cannon. Can’t they speak properly? Why do they love to be so coy!

But obviously, since the other party was helping him, he naturally followed the lead and hurriedly asked, ”What is it?”

”Heh heh, it’s a journal from a former Senior Breeder in Jianghai who specialized in research on the Necromancy Series. Of course, it’s not all his notes and insights. However, that predecessor also took an interest in Papermen and recorded some findings.”

Su Ping’s eyes lit up. It was perfect timing. The area by the banks of the Lingxi River had been fenced off and barely counted as a new zone. It was time for him to purchase some Papermen.

To elevate the Catalog Level of Papermen...

When he reached Elite First Rank, the Forest Wolf Catalog’s sharing ability expanded from twenty people to thirty. Now, at Elite Second Rank, the upper limit had increased by another two, reaching an astounding thirty-two shared connections.

He couldn’t wait for the Paperman to gain the same capabilities.

After setting a meeting place with Sun Chaoju, Su Ping, basking in the noon autumn sunshine, sat by the bus window and arrived in Linzhou City Center before dinner.

Getting off the bus, Su Ping once again thought of the ’Super Shadow’ bike owned by his old man. The mechanical core he was supposed to get from Dong Muyun had also fallen through. Damn it, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

This time, Sun Chaoju didn’t beat around the bush and directly handed the notebook over. He even joined Su Ping for lunch and inquired about the Wanmu Wolf.

This time, Su Ping didn’t spill the beans. ”It’s alright, there has been some progress.”

Damn it, this master and disciple were better at being coy than anyone. I’ll have to keep a card up my sleeve to give these old guys a big surprise later.

”It’s good that there’s progress.” Upon saying this, Sun Chaoju thought for a moment and added, ”Lately, the teacher hasn’t been in a good mood, so you’d better not go see him. Also, Su Ping, as for researching Papermen, just dabble in it. Consider it a diversion at most, and don’t invest too much into it. Focus mainly on the Wanmu Wolf.”

Then, something unexpected happened. Old Sun directly took out three small boxes. These weren’t just any boxes! They were three Sun Crystals!

”This is what the teacher asked me to give you. Consider it temporary research funding from the Breeder Association. Let us know if you’re short on any resources. However, the teacher also said that while the instruments are not an option, you can freely use the laboratory.”

So Old Liu was actually putting up serious capital? Truth be told, Su Ping was beginning to feel a twinge of guilt. If I keep Old Liu in the dark like this, won’t he get angry later? Considering Old Liu is in a bad mood, it seems I definitely shouldn’t tell him!

As for the Papermen, Su Ping clearly understood Sun Chaoju’s intention. However, he didn’t tell him that he had in fact contracted a Paperman as his Pet Beast. For the sake of his own Pet Beast, he had to put more effort into this area.

Naturally, it wasn’t appropriate to say such things. After chatting more about Pet Beast cultivation and the Wanmu Wolf at the dinner table, Su Ping headed straight for the market that specialized in selling Undead Pet Beasts. He spent a total of 500,000 and bought ten Papermen of reasonably good quality.

Only then, as dusk approached, did he return to the Heart of Woods.

Su Ping didn’t even rush to release the ten Papermen he had put into the Beast Taming Space. Instead, he went straight to his study and took out the thin notebook.

Clearly, when Sun Chaoju made those comments, he must have been pessimistic about the cultivation of Papermen, and the reason likely lay within this journal. The insights of an Advanced Level Undead Cultivator were indeed worth reading.

The notebook belonged to a Breeder named Mu Yu.

As he flipped open the cover, he saw the yellowed pages, inscribed with words aged by time:

”The essence of Necromancy Series Pet Beasts lies in the condensation of a Pet Beast’s spiritual soul. They can appear as pure souls or with other media. Regardless, any Undead Pet Beast, even those with sturdy bodies like Skeleton Soldiers and Zombies, is fundamentally a soul.

——Blue Star Undead Breeding Master: Charles Lee”

”I deeply agree and believe that, aside from physical strength, the power of the soul is essential and even more important for most strong Pet Beasts. The fact that some powerful Pet Beasts can transform into an undead form after death is proof, with the most direct examples being Bone Dragons and Phantom Dragons.”

”However, the soul’s condensation apart from the body requires both opportunity and talent. Thus, many Undead Pet Beasts may originate from the soul power of deceased living beings, which, after losing consciousness, coincidentally condense.”
