Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1078 - 447: Scorching Soul’s Whereabouts! Time Projection Returns!

The phone rang with a crisp clarity.

Su Ping blinked; the phone that had previously given him a headache was, for once, a call he’d decisively answered.

"Hello, Director Huang?"

Su Ping spoke with a cheerful smile.

On the other end, Huang Tianbing was a bit flattered, quickly responding:

"Oh my, little ancestor, you’re too polite. If you don’t mind, just call me Little Huang."

Without paying much attention to Huang Tianbing’s demeanor, he smiled again:

"What’s the matter?"

Even though he could guess, Huang Tianbing had mentioned the same thing to him countless times.

"Isn’t it still about those secret realms? So, do you have time recently? There’s a tricky one, but it won’t take you long; it’s just in the neighboring Huaiyang Province..."

Su Ping blinked; Huang Tianbing had told him countless times about the final handling of these secret realms.

He had declined many times.

Yet this time, it was obviously different.

He paused, not picking up on Huang Tianbing’s words, but instead, with Yun Sheng’s gaze in mind, he asked:

"Director Huang, do you have any news or whereabouts of the Scorching Soul? If there’s any information about this pet beast, I don’t mind taking some time to help you..."

Times have changed.

Their identities and statuses were no longer what they used to be.

Back then, Su Ping entered the Qintian Monitor relying on Leng Ye’s connections, and Huang Tianbing indeed had some jurisdiction over him.

But now, aside from those miscellaneous honorary titles, the most important thing is that Su Ping is the holder of the Dragon Emblem, not to mention the Dragon Mark.

Moreover, he is a legitimately recognized honorary vice president of the Breeder Association and a director of the Mechanics Association.

With just these alone, there is no inherent subordinate relationship between him and Huang Tianbing.

On the contrary, under normal circumstances, if he makes a request, the Qintian Monitor would need to fully cooperate.

Su Ping understood this logic, and so did Huang Tianbing.

In fact, Huang Tianbing was more than willing for Su Ping to speak up.

The reason is simple; as long as conditions can be negotiated, it becomes easier to manage.

If conditions can’t be negotiated, that’s when it becomes truly difficult.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Huang Tianbing was initially stunned, then delighted:

"The Scorching Soul, right? Su Ping, hold on, let me ask..."

With that, the call was abruptly disconnected.

Yun Sheng, who was evidently listening as well, smiled and nodded:

"That’s indeed a method. In recent years, the frequency of secret realms appearing has been increasing, as well as their numbers. Additionally, some incredibly ancient secret realms have emerged too.

In these secret realms, it’s possible there are ancient pet beasts that have already gone extinct! However, Su Ping, are you not very familiar with the Scorching Soul?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ping was about to instinctively reply, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat, his expression unchanged:

"Of course, I know a bit about it. It’s just that while going through ancient texts, I came across some traits and abilities, particularly the special skill ’Jade and Stone Burn Together’ of this pet beast, which left a deep impression. This current idea and attempt also start from this aspect.

However, I hadn’t intentionally searched for it and didn’t expect it to have gone extinct."

"Oh... no wonder. It seems you really have quite a broad range of reading."

Yun Sheng nodded, and the hint of doubt in his eyes disappeared.

Su Ping smiled and touched his nose, finally breathing a slight sigh of relief.

If not for his quick thinking, he would have easily been suspected.

Even though his status and position are steadily rising, matters where one could easily slip up require caution.

If he’s not very knowledgeable about the Scorching Soul, why would he consider using it to cultivate the Nanming Li Fire’s First Segment?

The truth is, he really didn’t know that the Scorching Soul had already gone extinct.

In the future, he mustn’t casually share his breeding ideas; he should at least collect proper materials first.

Fortunately, he was able to improvise in time.

In fact, besides the help from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping himself has been almost continuously studying.

Unfortunately, with the countless resources and unimaginable abundance of skills among pet beasts in the world, it’s not something that can be entirely mastered in a short period.

Su Ping can only try his best to ensure his learning and absorb the breeding results feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas at each stage to gain some experience from it.

Yun Sheng didn’t continue to dwell on it but instead looked at Su Ping:

"Su Ping, where do you think this breeding should begin?"

Su Ping blinked:

"Very simple, transform the flame itself. I think, for a Fire Type Pet Beast, it’s nothing short of an earth-shattering change! This must be addressed from the root!"

"The root?"

Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a bit puzzled.

"The root of living beings is the soul! Coincidentally, Little Flame has a special skill called Flame Soul on it! I’ve never seen this skill on any other Fire Type Pet Beast before."

Su Ping explained, while also setting the stage for his monstrous talent.

It’s precisely because of Little Flame’s presence that he could have such insight and understanding.

He could think this deeply.

As expected, upon hearing this, Yun Sheng nodded:

"Your ability to find and capture the Flame Venerable’s Avatar is your luck, and also the luck of our Dragon Nation! Then? Is your idea to convert the soul of pet beasts into such a Flame Soul, is that necessary?"
