Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1301 - 533: The Strange Second Method! Start Breeding!

According to the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, low-level skills consumed fewer experience points, followed by advanced-level evolutionary bodies, and finally, top-tier skills.

Besides that, there were relatively special circumstances. For example, analyzing the cause of a pet beast’s mutation had also been a major drain on experience points.

But as of now, the most demanding consumption was for the terrifying Nanming Li Fire.

This was to be expected. According to Su Ping’s guess, the ultimate form of the Nanming Li Fire might be a rank higher than even a super-rank skill. That was an entirely different domain.

Yet, even for the Nanming Li Fire, after breeding the fire seed of the Day and Night Fire from Little Flame, and after Su Ping gained a deeper understanding and formulated further hypotheses about it, the required experience points had only been twenty thousand universal experience points.

That was the skill of the legendary Flame Mythical Vermilion Bird! It was the ability the Fire Supreme Flame Venerable had pursued his entire life!

But what the hell was this thing in front of him?

Why did a mere—albeit slightly unusual—evolutionary body require a staggering twenty thousand experience points just to unlock its so-called second Evolution Breeding Method? This didn’t make any scientific sense, right?

Su Ping blinked and scrutinized the breeding method for the Eye of Annihilation from top to bottom once more.

Looking at the first breeding method, he didn’t see anything earth-shattering about this Eye of Annihilation. Could it be that the so-called Eye of Annihilation produced by the second breeding method was infinitely more heaven-defying and incredible?

However, unless it directly evolved to the legendary level, Su Ping simply couldn’t accept the cost of twenty thousand universal experience points. Converted to the Eye Demon Catalog, that was a whopping two hundred thousand experience points!

Judging from the first segment of the breeding method, the Eye Demon would likely undergo some morphological changes. But even if it transformed into an elemental series—or even a light element series—entity, or took on other differences, such as the pure wandering soul energy body of the undead... It still shouldn’t be this exaggerated! This was completely unreasonable!

Suppressing the flutter in his heart, Su Ping carefully reviewed the prompt for the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas’s second breeding method. His brows furrowed slightly as he quickly noticed some clues.

*Lacking a critical breeding result, rendering it impossible to unlock the so-called second breeding method.*

So, what was this critical breeding outcome?

Or rather, in a sense, the previous Breeding Body Evolution Method that cost three thousand points should already completely encompass these two breeding methods.

What was truly worth the full twenty thousand universal experience points was this so-called critical breeding result. Then, what kind of breeding result could it be?

Su Ping sat on a small stool in the breeding laboratory, pondering for an entire morning. Yet, he couldn’t come up with a single clue. Even if there were some possibilities, in Su Ping’s eyes, they weren’t worth twenty thousand universal experience points.

Perhaps the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas’s experience calculation method was simply flawed?

Su Ping shook his head. Since he couldn’t figure it out, there was no need to dwell on it.

However, after this minor interlude—known only to Su Ping himself—he, who had initially been at most quite interested in the Eye Demon and the breeding of this Eye of Annihilation, was now thoroughly intrigued. He truly couldn’t wait to breed it and see exactly what kind of thing this Eye of Annihilation was, and why its so-called second breeding method required such a ridiculously exaggerated twenty thousand universal experience points.

Su Ping had always been the type of person who acted the moment he made up his mind. Moreover, with his "cheat" activated, the difficulty of breeding and evolving this Eye of Annihilation wasn’t actually that high. Following the instructions to the letter, if Su Ping still encountered any breeding issues, his nearly year-and-a-half-long life with this cheat would have been in vain.

With this thought in mind, Su Ping put away the four Little Eye Demons and walked out of the breeding laboratory at the Heavenly Tomb base.

Beiyuan Province had no spring or autumn. In this October weather, the cold wind was already howling. However, despite the low temperatures, the crisp and clear autumn atmosphere still lingered. A warm, un-scorching sun scattered its rays from high above. Not a single trace of discoloration could be seen across the azure sky, as if a colossal sapphire had been inverted over the heavens.

Unfortunately, before Su Ping could narrow his eyes and enjoy this pleasant northern autumn afternoon, a voice rang out from nearby.

"Su Ping, come here for a moment."

Su Ping turned his head and saw Su Anyong standing at the entrance of an unnamed building with a stern face. Beside him was Captain Li Feng, whom he had seen that morning.

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. A sudden sense of foreboding washed over him, but he walked over anyway.

"Su Ping, this is Captain Li Feng of the Heavenly Tomb Army. I heard you two met this morning!" Su Anyong spoke evenly. "Originally, it would’ve been fine if you hadn’t come. But since you’ve arrived in Beiyuan and have already made preparations to enter the Heavenly Tomb...

"Then I have nothing else to say. From now on, you will train together with all the members of the Heavenly Tomb Army, especially in the internal simulated training of the Heavenly Tomb’s terrain! Do you understand?"

Su Ping frowned. "That... shouldn’t be necessary, right..."

"Su Ping, I’m not discussing this with you," Su Anyong’s brows knitted together before he could finish. "Even if you went to Ghost Saint, he would agree with me. This isn’t just about being responsible for yourself; it’s also about being responsible for the other members of the Heavenly Tomb Army who will enter alongside you!

"Perhaps your lack of acclimatization, or a slight mistake on your part, will not only cost you your own life but also lead to their deaths!"

With words like that being said, Su Ping sighed helplessly. However, he had to admit that his old man had a point. He nodded.

"Alright, but it’ll have to wait a few days. I have other things to busy myself with over the next couple of days."

His dad frowned. "What are you going to do? Su Ping, you don’t really need to get heavily involved in the Ghost Tide incident. Only by resolving the matter at the Heavenly Tomb will we truly solve the problem at its source. Do you not understand that?"

Of course Su Ping understood. It wasn’t that he was reluctant to part with the massive gains from the Ghost Tide. Just the harvest from last night would require Death Reincarnation some time to digest, so there was no need to be greedy.

"It’s not that. It won’t be too late to train after I finish breeding the Destruction Eye Demon over the next two days. Captain Li, have you finished collecting the data I asked for?"

Li Feng nodded. "It’s collected. Including myself, there are a total of seventy-one members in the Heavenly Tomb Army who have the Eye Demon as their secondary pet beast. The fourth pet beast, however, is relatively mixed and difficult to count uniformly."

Su Ping smiled. "From the looks of it, you were all pre-selected for the Annihilation Special Forces back then."

Li Feng scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Beside them, Su Anyong frowned at Su Ping. "What the hell are you playing at, kid?"

Su Ping couldn’t be bothered with him. How did this old geezer end up with two completely different faces once he was in the army?

He immediately looked at Li Feng. "In that case, is Captain Li willing to lend me your Eye Demon for a bit?"

At these words, Li Feng visibly hesitated.

Su Ping didn’t know, but they certainly remembered the tragic state of the Destruction Eye Demon’s breeding back then. If one wasn’t careful and lost a contracted beast, it would be a severe blow that was difficult to recover from in a lifetime.

Su Ping saw through Li Feng’s worries at a glance. He didn’t mind the other party’s suspicion toward him and instead explained, "I’m not going to use your Eye Demon directly for breeding. Instead, I need your Eye Demon to help out during the breeding process. Besides, I can’t guarantee success, so I’ll primarily use a wild Eye Demon for the attempt."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Then of course, no problem!"

"Since that’s the case, Captain Li, please inform Master Yin. In twenty minutes, we will officially start attempting to breed the Destruction Eye Demon! Once it succeeds, the Heavenly Tomb Army’s combat power will be elevated to a whole new level."

Ten minutes later, Yin Luo rushed over, looking as if he had just seen a ghost.
