A powerful breeder observes Su Ping's progress in the Jianghai Forest Province exam, noting his potential with the Paperman. Meanwhile, Su Ping begins the exam, heading directly for the Emperor Level resource location, intending to intercept other participants.

"A warm welcome to all our viewers, both those watching on television and those connected through the live online stream. I am your main host for this momentous occasion, Wang Luo, and I am joined by the esteemed Master Hu Yue and the distinguished Miss Zhan Shuang."

"Over the course of the next few days, the three of us will be providing intermittent live broadcasts of the provincial examination, taking place in the primary world! For those interested, you may also input a contestant's number to experience the event from their first-person perspective."

Three individuals were seated, Wang Luo addressing the cameras with a smile. Numerous cameras were strategically placed before them, capturing every angle.

"It is truly an honor to serve as a commentator for our provincial career assessment. I am incredibly pleased to be witnessing this provincial assessment alongside Teacher Wang Luo and Miss Zhan."

Hu Yue adjusted his spectacles, projecting an image of scholarly refinement.

Zhan Shuang, conversely, was a woman whose presence exuded a coolness that matched her name.

She offered little in terms of words, merely inclining her head and mustering a faint smile.

The other two were well-accustomed to Miss Zhan’s reserved nature. The primary host, Wang Luo, smoothly continued the conversation:

"Do either of you possess any insider knowledge regarding the young Beast Tamers participating in this league? Who do you foresee achieving a commendable score in this provincial examination? I, myself, have conducted some preliminary research."

Zhan Shuang responded first with a shake of her head: "My knowledge on the matter is limited, but I anticipate a considerable number of participants will exhibit strong capabilities."

Hu Yue added his thoughts: "While I cannot speak for others, it appears that Su Ping will be participating in this provincial exam."

Wang Luo turned his gaze towards Hu Yue. He was somewhat hesitant to discuss this particular individual during the broadcast, aware of how quickly information could spread online.

Furthermore, the topic of Su Ping, while highly sensational, involved a deeply unique identity, and extensive discussion often resulted in unforeseen complications.

Nevertheless, Hu Yue had brought him up immediately, and as the main commentator, Wang Luo felt compelled to acknowledge it. He smiled and stated:

"Breeder Su is indeed the pride of Jianghai Province, recognized as the most exceptionally talented young breeder in Dragon Nation in recent times.

However, due precisely to his youth, even if Breeder Su participates in this year's provincial exam, it might prove challenging for him to replicate the extraordinary success he achieved in the previous breeding contest, wouldn't you agree? Has Master Hu had some interaction with Breeder Su? Speaking of which, Master Hu is also affiliated with the Breeder Association; could it be that you have access to some confidential information?"

His intention was to inject some lighthearted banter into the atmosphere. To his surprise, Hu Yue actually nodded:

"Indeed, I have had some interactions. At the time when Breeder Su successfully fostered the evolution of his Soul Contract pet beast, I was present, and we engaged in a Beast Tamer battle exchange."

"Oh?"

This revelation elicited an exclamation not only from Wang Luo but also caused Zhan Shuang to look with surprise at the young master of the Lingxi Dojo, someone she had previously paid little attention to.

"What would Master Hu like to share?"

"Truth be told, it was a singular event, and at that juncture, Su Ping's pet beast was merely at the Elite Level, so it may not have been entirely conclusive. However, one detail worth noting is that Su Ping’s contracted beast was a Paperman!"

Hu Yue disclosed with a smile.

Wang Luo's eyes widened, and he responded with an exaggerated tone:

"A Paperman, that pet beast infamously known as the disgrace of the Necromancy Series?"

"Precisely, but Su Ping's specimen is a mutated Paperman, not a standard one, and it successfully underwent an evolution!"

"Ah, I understand. Say, by the way, we have already entered the Secret Realm, and the live broadcast perspectives are now ready!"

As Wang Luo spoke, the television screens simultaneously illuminated with countless camera feeds. Clearly, following their discussion, the live broadcast's first-person views shifted, and Su Ping's image materialized on the screen.

At this precise moment, everyone could also observe the peculiar Paperman that Hu Yue had mentioned.

"What in the world is this?"

It was evident that among the audience observing on televisions, computers, and phones, approximately half could not refrain from posing this very question.

And in observing the unfolding battle, the three commentators, though they did not voice it aloud, appeared to be harboring the same sentiment.

This was evident because even the typically loquacious Wang Luo remained silent for a considerable five seconds.

This silence was particularly pronounced when they witnessed the Paperman gradually ascending into the sky, its cloak billowing behind it, reminiscent of a superhero's cape from certain cinematic productions, proudly displaying the advertisement 'Heart of Myriad Spirits Breeding Base' fluttering in the wind.

"Uh... Mutated pet beasts possess distinct characteristics compared to their regular counterparts, and Breeder Su, being a uniquely gifted breeder, must certainly have his reasons for selecting this Paperman as his chosen pet beast. Let us await further developments..."

Wang Luo cleared his throat, breaking the palpable silence.

"Speaking of which, what is Breeder Su's other pet beast?"

Zhan Shuang, who had been notably reserved throughout the discussion, inquired instinctively, her curiosity piqued.

All eyes turned from the peculiar Paperman to a different beast, one that appeared to be engulfed in an emerald blaze. "It looks like an Elemental Pet. However, I recall President Liu mentioning earlier that Su Ping’s other pet beast is a Forest Wolf, which explains his exceptional success in breeding Forest Wolves. But..."
