Su Ping investigates the exorbitant experience cost for a special breeding method for the Eye of Annihilation. He discovers a 'critical breeding result' is required but remains unknown. Later, he is informed by Su Anyong and Captain Li Feng that he must train with the Heavenly Tomb Army for their upcoming expedition. Su Ping agrees, but requests a few days to first attempt breeding the Destruction Eye Demon with the help of Captain Li's Eye Demon and a wild one.

On the training grounds of the Heavenly Tomb Breeding Team.

A group of members from the Heavenly Tomb Special Beast Taming Force, having just emerged from the Heavenly Tomb Environment Simulation Room and the Death Energy erosion training, leaned against the glass a short distance away. Looking out at the training grounds, they whispered among themselves.

"Tell me, what are the instructor and Captain Li doing out there? Sunbathing?"

"Even if they’re sunbathing, there’s no need to do it for several hours straight, right? I heard Captain Li didn’t join the afternoon training just to do whatever this is."

"Master Yin is there too. They must be Breeding Pet Beasts!"

"Nonsense. Didn’t the instructor say the Breeding of Pet Beasts was already over? The main focus of this trip to the Heavenly Tomb was supposed to be Breeding the Papermen and Strawmen. What else could there possibly be to Breed?"

"True. But speaking of which, those Papermen are way too fierce. That Five Elements Paper Spirit—good lord, when it goes all out, it seems capable of effortlessly fighting above its weight class and defeating an Emperor Level existence!"

Someone exclaimed in awe. Clearly, after returning from their trip and witnessing the strength of the Five Elements Paper Spirit during their first simulation training, everyone was extremely satisfied.

"Cut the crap. Do you guys even know what it means to be selected for the Special Beast Taming Forces? Don’t just focus on the formidable strength of the Pet Beasts. You have to understand that greater Ability comes with greater responsibility!" reprimanded a young man of similar age.

"Yes, Vice Captain!"

"Captain Zhao, do you know what Captain Li and the instructor are up to?"

Evidently, after a brief tangent, the topic circled back to the scene before them.

Captain Zhao shook his head. However, his gaze soon shifted toward a young man among the group whom he had never seen before, as well as the two Eye Demons positioned in front of him. One of them was undeniably Li Feng’s Mature Body Eye Demon. He was, of course, all too familiar with it, considering he owned one himself.

But as for what they were doing over there right now, he genuinely had no idea. However, he did recall that, earlier that morning, Li Feng had asked him for help inquiring about a certain matter: Out of the hundred members in the Heavenly Tomb Team, how many of them had an Eye Demon as their Pet Beast?

Could it be that the scene before them was related to this question? Were they actually Breeding that Eye Demon?

But the problem was, this posture for Breeding was way too bizarre, wasn’t it?

Vice Captain Zhao also crouched behind the glass wall of the training room, watching the few people lying on the training grounds chatting idly, along with the two Eye Demons lying on the ground, seemingly sunbathing as well.

As Undead Type Pet Beasts, Eye Demons were inherently averse to sunlight. Yet now they were just basking in it—was this considered Pet Beast Breeding?

He didn’t understand.

Compared to him, a few others present clearly didn’t understand either.

Because compared to Li Feng, who was rather nervous and deeply invested in this Breeding process; Su Anyong, who similarly understood the significance a formidable Pet Beast held for the Heavenly Tomb Army; and Yin Luo, who knew just how difficult Breeding and Evolving the Destruction Eye Demon would be...

At this very moment, Su Ping was a bit too relaxed.

"Zzz... Zzz..."

The soft snoring wasn’t loud; in fact, it was extremely faint.

But was this really freaking appropriate? They were in the middle of Breeding Pet Beasts right now. And the confident brat beside them didn’t even have a pillow. He had just lain down directly on the training grounds and fallen asleep.

The glaring sunlight didn’t seem to affect his excellent sleep quality in the slightest.

The ongoing Eye Demon Breeding beside him also failed to demand much of his mental energy. After briefly explaining the specific precautions for the Breeding process to Li Feng and Yin Luo, he had simply drifted off to sleep. And he was sleeping quite soundly at that.

This left the three people and two Eye Demons present staring blankly at one another.

However, they still remembered Su Ping’s words vividly, and they certainly hadn’t been idle throughout the afternoon.

Using the Sun Spring Water as Eye Drops, Li Feng’s Eye Demon exerted its "Visual Deprivation" Skill to its limits. This ensured that the Evolutionary Body for this round of Breeding and Evolution—the sole Mature Body Eye Demon that Yin Luo had brought that morning, casually named "Big Eye" by Su Ping—remained in a constant state of vision loss. In this state, it was made to stare motionlessly at the Sun.

This staring process alone lasted for an entire afternoon.

This brat was sleeping soundly, but the three people beside him didn’t dare relax in the slightest.

Staring directly at the Sun without sustaining damage was something only Beastmasters who had reached the intermediate or Advanced Level could achieve, thanks to their enhanced physical constitutions. Meanwhile, Undead creatures like Eye Demons were practically natural enemies of the Sun.

Even though Yin Luo knew this was a necessary Breeding step for the Eye of Annihilation, compared to the original version, no one could be completely certain about the modified Evolution Law Su Ping had produced. Even with his absolute trust in Su Ping, he still wanted to observe some changes from this process to serve as a learning experience for his own Breeding theories.

As for Li Feng, it went without saying. He needed to control his own Eye Demon, ensuring that just as the Visual Deprivation effect on Big Eye was about to wear off, his Pet Beast would immediately reapply the Skill.

He had spent the entire afternoon concentrating intensely. Only Su Ping himself was sleeping comfortably.

However, this process was not just a one-afternoon affair.

Although Su Anyong felt exasperated, he had to admit that whenever his son arrived at a new place, he would always stir up a lot of things. With Li Feng absent from the Heavenly Tomb’s training, there were bound to be some issues given his role as captain.
