~3 minute read · 683 words

Hmm?

Su Ping raised his eyebrows as he felt the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas regarding Xiao Qing’s recent changes. Although he hadn’t seen any progress in Xiao Qing through the Eye of Truth, the display from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas indicated Xiao Qing’s condition.

Over the past few days, even though no other Forest Wolf had reached the required affinity for a significant rise in Catalog Experience, through daily training and the continuous improvement of these little ones, Su Ping’s Forest Wolf Catalog Experience had risen to over one hundred, nearing two hundred. Although it was still far from two thousand, Experience Points were not solely used for upgrading the Catalog.

Su Ping resolved.

After patting Xiao Qing’s head, which was still somewhat confused, Su Ping began to worry anew.

Mutated Pet Beasts were indeed excellent, possessing Abilities and development different from other Pet Beasts; Xiao Qing, for instance, could break through its race limit. But there was a downside: the uncertainty in their future Evolution.

With this in mind, Su Ping’s gaze hardened.

With that thought, Su Ping’s spirits lifted suddenly.

For now, the most important thing was to take Xiao Qing for a test.

He led Xiao Qing, who had regained its spirit, out of the woods. This time, Su Ping didn’t pick one of the Little Ones as a test subject but directly found a Forest Wolf that had reached the Elite Tier.

"San Ha, come here!"

Su Ping was casual with naming these Forest Wolves. As long as they could be recognized, it was barely acceptable.

The Forest Wolf called San Ha trotted over proudly and energetically. Then, under the resentful gaze of San Ha, Xiao Qing’s purple vines swiftly wrapped around it. The serrated barbs painfully pierced San Ha’s unresisting fur.

Su Ping naturally understood his own Pet Beasts better than the other Forest Wolves. Quickly, he noticed something.

However, just as he was about to stop the fight, the purple vines around San Ha suddenly darkened dramatically, and their texture acquired an indescribably different feel. What was previously as thin as a finger, in a split second, thickened to the girth of a baby’s wrist!

"AROOO!"

San Ha, who had only been somewhat resentful and discontented, suddenly let out a scream of agony. Clearly, while the Poison Vine Strangulation had caused it some discomfort, this sudden change brought an indescribable pain, even a sense of threat!

Su Ping reacted instantly, his Eye of Truth locking onto Xiao Qing. Sure enough, at this moment, Xiao Qing’s Poison Vine Strangulation had unexpectedly advanced from Beginner to the Proficient Level!

Instantly, Su Ping waved his hand, instructing Xiao Qing and Woodhead to continue their prior training, one acting as the attacking party while the other focused on practicing the ’Self-Healing’ skill.

Meanwhile, he called out in a loud voice, "Old Sha!"

"AWOO!"

Old Sha, who hadn’t heard the young master call him individually for a long time, immediately perked up his ears like the most loyal of butlers, stiffening his neck in anticipation of the young master’s command.

"Come on, it’s time to pull weeds!"

Instantly, Old Sha’s perked ears drooped.

"AWOOO..."

His voice became listless.

Luckily, this time, aside from master and servant, there was another helper...

「Eventually, night fell.」

Li Shu, after a busy day, returned to his room. His father, Li Senlin, initiated a video call.

"Son, how is it going, learning with Su Ping? I tell you, you’ve encountered such an outstanding and formidable classmate. Study hard with him; don’t fear hardship or fatigue! It’s a rare opportunity, and his willingness to teach you is a blessing for our family. But we also can’t neglect courtesy. When I come to pick you up, I’ll bring some gifts for Su Ping. What does that little guy like..."

Watching his father’s earnest expectation, Li Shu pressed his lips together.

Even at this moment, Li Shu’s eyes were filled with deep confusion.
