Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 192: Chapter 136: First-Class Merit? Honorary Major Su Ping!

”Hmm?” Su Ping turned his head and glanced at Liu Fuhai, whose face was marked with a peculiar expression. A Super-Rank Skill? What Super-Rank Skill? Blinking, Su Ping quickly came to his senses and looked at Vice President Liu with amazement. ”Is this the cultivation of a Super-Rank Skill?”

Vice President Liu pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He didn’t answer Su Ping’s question. Instead, he looked up to the heavens, speechless and choked with emotion.

Super-Rank Skills were the domain and expertise of Breeding Masters. Only those who had truly perfected the cultivation of Super-Rank Skills and made breakthroughs in the path of cultivation could rightfully be called Breeding Masters. But what exactly was the concept of a Super-Rank Skill? It’s too difficult!

As the saying goes, not every Emperor-Level Pet Beast even has the opportunity to master a Super-Rank Skill. The effects and power of Super-Rank Skills far exceeded those of ordinary skills, sometimes even defying common sense. Of course, Super-Rank Skills also varied in strength.

For so many years, Vice President Liu’s research into Super-Rank Skills had never ceased, not even for a moment! Especially in the past two years, he had focused his entire being on the Super-Rank Skill cultivation for the Icefang Whitewolf. Yet, he still hadn’t achieved the slightest result. The specific combination of Skill Modules, intended to produce an extraordinary synergistic effect, stubbornly refused to undergo a qualitative transformation. This highlighted just how difficult it was to cultivate Super-Rank Skills through nurturing.

But what about this situation right now? Vice President Liu could clearly and distinctly feel that the Wanmu Wolf’s ability was incredibly powerful, almost beyond comprehension. Its final outburst, in particular, made him one hundred percent certain. This was the Skill Module of a Super-Rank Skill!

Yet this blasted kid looked completely clueless, asking him such an exasperating question.

However, Vice President Liu knew Su Ping might not actually be pretending. For countless Breeders, the cultivation of Super-Rank Skills was undoubtedly an enigma. This was because very few people truly knew how Super-Rank Skills were actually cultivated into existence. During his lectures, Vice President Liu had only ever scratched the surface of the subject. Never mind Intermediate Level Breeders; even some Advanced Level Breeders had limited understanding of Super-Rank Skill cultivation.

Watching the live feed as the logistics and medical teams carried away the fainted Beast Tamers, marking a rather unique conclusion to the match, Vice President Liu paused. Eventually, he couldn’t resist asking, ”If you didn’t know, how did you discover it?”

Su Ping genuinely hadn’t been very clear on the matter before. He only knew that, according to theory, skills formed using the ’Solar Formula’ were supposed to undergo a qualitative change. However, he had never imagined that this change would be of *this* nature. A Super-Rank Skill? So, does this mean the ultimate composition of the Solar Formula results in a Super-Rank Skill?

Hearing Old Liu’s question, Su Ping didn’t hide anything. The Wanmu Wolf had been born from his own hands; he was the origin, so Su Ping wasn’t worried. He also trusted Old Liu’s character.

As it turned out, he had trusted a bit too soon. An internal struggle was evident on Old Liu’s face before he finally sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, ”Apart from me, this matter can, at most, be mentioned to Qin Erlong and Miss Qin. No one else must disclose it recklessly. In a little while, I’ll have a word with Zhao Deguang. I’ll get everyone who witnessed this battle to sign a partial non-disclosure agreement.”

Su Ping was taken aback. He eyed the old fellow suspiciously, ”Is it really necessary? Is it that serious?”

Old Liu glanced at this clueless brat who completely failed to grasp the gravity of the situation and shook his head helplessly. ”Although it’s highly probable that your discovery was largely due to good luck, I’m worried that some people with ulterior motives might not see it that way. Of course, right now, probably not many people understand what truly happened, but it’s always better to be safe than sorry!”

Su Ping genuinely had no idea what this ’just in case’ scenario entailed.

But Vice President Liu understood better than anyone. This ’just in case’ referred to an event twenty years prior to Su Ping. A man had risen from obscurity to fame in one fell swoop, his key to success being the cultivation of the Sand-Eating Jiao and its Super-Rank Skill, ’Quicksand Stomach.’ He was the current Master of the Holy Dragon of the Dragon Nation. After his ascension, his sweeping reforms over just a few years had, if not turned the Dragon Nation completely upside down, then at least thoroughly revitalized it.

Vice President Liu was also more aware than anyone of how the ancient, established families, those with lineages stretching back to antiquity, gritted their teeth in hatred at this Master of the Holy Dragon, yet were powerless against him.

Therefore, the Dragon Nation could not allow another new Master of the Holy Dragon to emerge.

Even if the possibility was minuscule—perhaps only one in ten, or even one in a hundred—after all, just because their breakthrough creations were similar didn’t mean their subsequent growth and achievements would also be comparable. But again, one had to prepare for the unexpected. He believed those ancient families felt the same way.

Fortunately. Vice President Liu looked around. He realized that very few people truly understood what had happened; it was too complex for most to grasp. For the vast majority, the Wanmu Wolf’s final burst was merely an incredibly powerful trump card, a burst-type skill. Nothing more. As a Breeder himself, he just needed to steer the conversation in that direction later. Naturally, no one would then consider other possibilities.
