Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 367 - 196: The Mysterious Breeding Master!_2
With that thought, Old Li suddenly felt enlightened.
In just a few seconds, Old Li’s expression underwent a complete turnaround.
Qin Xiaoxue had been watching Old Li’s facial expressions all along. As expected, the old fellow’s thoughts were exactly as Su Ping had conjectured.
The once-frowning Old Li now had an almost reverent expression, looking excitedly towards Qin Xiaoxue.
"Xiao Xue, that person is..."
Qin Xiaoxue smiled, still not speaking directly, but said lightly, "A Breeder who will be coming to the Magic Capital in a few days for the Breeders’ competition."
"I understand, I understand!" Old Li was full of excitement, hastily saying, "Then, may I know what guidance that person had?"
Finally getting to the main topic, Qin Xiaoxue did not beat around the bush and took out the notes she had made yesterday. "That Breeder said the main thing is to resolve two issues. Firstly, to optimize the Forest Wolf’s progress in handling the Thorny Crown and accelerate its control over it, thereby significantly shortening the thirty-day Cultivation time."
"Hmm?" Old Li’s eyes brightened.
The Cultivation of the Crown Wolf Emperor involved significant resource consumption, but it also had extremely high Talent requirements. Controlling the Thorny Crown was the truest test of a Forest Wolf’s aptitude and Talent. It might seem like everything in Cultivation goes smoothly, as if it automatically completes when the time is up, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Old Li nodded in approval. "What else?"
"Also... it’s about the clone control issues after the Crown Wolf Emperor evolves!"
At those words, Old Li was completely stunned. "Clone control!"
"Indeed. That Breeder said that with such an Evolution method, after the Crown Wolf Emperor’s Evolution, the Wood Clone Skill it masters will surely face the same extreme control difficulties as other Pet Beasts with clone-type Skills, except for those of the Psychic Element. If the clone, as a core aspect, cannot be controlled, won’t the Crown Wolf Emperor’s evolutionary strength be greatly reduced? However, refining this clone’s control ability after Evolution would require extensive experimentation and concentrated spiritual cultivation. It would be better to harmonize the growth of spiritual power during the Cultivation process for Evolution, allowing it to adapt in advance. Then, when the Evolution reaches the momentous metamorphosis akin to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, it can perfectly master the clones with its spirit!"
Qin Xiaoxue said all this in one breath, then glanced at her notebook.
Qin Xiaoxue was quite pleased with herself.
However, Old Li, standing before her, was already bewildered.
He, of course, understood this principle. Evolution is the stage where all Pet Beasts undergo metamorphosis. Many aspects can be completed quickly during this process. That’s the significance of Evolution.
He knew all too well that the Crown Wolf Emperor’s evolutionary defect lay in clone control. This wasn’t just true for the Crown Wolf Emperor, but for any Pet Beast possessing Clone Skill Techniques, aside from those of the Psychic Element. Controlling clones was tremendously troublesome. He also knew that after completing its Evolution, the Crown Wolf Emperor would find it extremely difficult to master its clones. After all, his own Crown Wolf Emperor had not achieved it yet.
Of course, he could guess some solutions—adjustments were needed during the evolutionary steps. But how to begin? The Crown Wolf Emperor’s evolutionary steps were extremely complicated and involved numerous precious resources. In such a situation, he couldn’t even figure out where to begin, let alone start experiments.
Uncle Li’s breathing grew a bit rapid as he eagerly looked towards Qin Xiaoxue, "Xiao Xue, has that teacher already solved these two problems?"
Qin Xiaoxue pursed her lips slightly, subconsciously glancing at the university professor with his somewhat receding hairline.
"Xiao Xue?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, that’s right. That Breeder has already resolved those two problems. I’ve taken notes; let me show you."
Qin Xiaoxue efficiently took out the notes.
When Su Ping had initially presented the formula for the effects corresponding to the further enhanced First Segment of the Heart of the Wolf, he hadn’t seemed to care much about it.
