Chapter 155: Chapter 124: The Martial Contest Approaches! Legion Formation Training! Blinding Technique!
Zhang Lie ignored the strange looks from his teammates.
At this moment, he had only one thought:
Outrageous! This is utterly outrageous!
Generally speaking, a Commander Level Pet Beast naturally held an absolute advantage over Elite Level ones.
But could the advantage truly be this significant?
He just watched. For a full ten minutes since they had entered, those Forest Wolves hadn’t even touched Xiao Qiang once. The forests that kept springing up seemed to appear at their feet at any moment. Most importantly, the control and growth rate of these forests were just too fast!
Logically, the energy consumed in this process should be substantial, right?
But!
So much time had passed! They had already been inside for ten minutes, and who knew how long Xiao Qiang had been fighting before they even arrived!?
Yet, despite such wide-range and frequent manipulation of the forest, Xiao Qiang showed no signs of energy depletion at all.
On the contrary, those Forest Wolves were clearly starting to run out of steam.
Trapped by the Wanmu Wolf’s Tree Prison and then forced to relentlessly attack once released, they were still running a deficit, even in broad daylight with Sunlight Absorption for replenishment.
Incomprehensible!
Zhang Lie truly couldn’t understand.
He didn’t get how such large-scale terrain-modifying Abilities could consume so little Energy! All he knew was that he hadn’t misjudged the Wanmu Wolf bounding above; it was like a Kylin, a truly magnificent sight! This was the best Forest Wolf Evolutionary Body.
Su Ping paid no attention to the crowd that had entered; his gaze was firmly fixed on Xiao Qiang above.
He understood what was happening even better than Xiao Qiang’s owner did.
The reason he had so ostentatiously tested Xiao Qiang’s strength was precisely because of this understanding.
Xiao Qiang’s Sunlight Absorption was only at the Proficient Level.
Thus, the evolved Photosynthesis was also only at the Proficient Level.
And most importantly, after completing the Evolution, Xiao Qiang’s Heart of Woods had also risen to the Proficient Level!
These three Skills formed a formulaic iron triangle, creating a continuous synergy within Xiao Qiang.
It was simply too difficult to advance to Perfection Level! For Old Sha’s Heart of Woods to reach Perfection Level was not something achievable in a day or two. Thus, this first experimental Evolutionary Body, where the Heart of Woods Level matched the other two Skills, held great research significance.
Indeed, that was the case.
At this very moment, Xiao Qiang’s Energy cycling within its body was much smoother and more natural.
The physical strain from extensively using these three linked Skills—similar to how Old Sha had in the Secret Realm—would be minimized.
However, the mental fatigue from rapid Skill usage was still inevitable.
But, this was already quite impressive.
It also highlighted the power of this Skill formula.
It’s a pity that Sunlight Absorption, the source, being only at the Proficient Level, was indeed too low. It couldn’t achieve a qualitative change, making it impossible to further observe the upper limits of this Skill combination.
「Half an hour later」
Xiao Qiang was still in the arena. Its movements showed hardly any signs of disorder, yet in front of it lay numerous Forest Wolves.
Some of the Forest Wolves with lower Elite Levels had already fainted.
Even those at higher Elite Levels, including two at the peak Elite Level, were barely hanging on in this battle.
It was almost impossible for them to resist again.
This outcome wasn’t entirely unexpected, but the process was certainly awe-inspiring!
One against sixteen!
Wanmu Wolf, a complete victory!
「Two hours later」
Zhang Lie stood at the entrance of the Heart of Woods, a look of reluctance on his face, but he still remarked to Su Ping as he was leaving, "I was a bit worried before, but now I’m not afraid at all! Breeder Su, these ten rascals will stay with you for now. Don’t hesitate to order them around as you see fit! If any of them dare to act up, call me, and I’ll skin ’em when I get back!"
Zhang Lie glared fiercely at the ten people behind Su Ping.
Not a single one of the Beast Tamer soldiers denied it. In fact, one who had a good relationship with Zhang Lie even spoke up directly, "Commander, you don’t even have to say it. If anyone dares to disrespect Breeder Su, we brothers will beat the living crap out of him!"
To be honest, Zhang Lie absolutely believed him.
In this whole world, who else could cultivate a Pet Beast like the Wanmu Wolf? Was this Su Ping before him just some young kid? No, he was the guide to their bright future!
Zhang Lie shot them a look. "You rascals got lucky this time! So, in the Legion competition half a month from now, if anyone dares to mess up, you’ll all suffer five times the punishment I get from the Division Commander!"
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
After receiving a satisfactory response, Zhang Lie finally turned to Su Ping and said with heartfelt sincerity, "Breeder Su, sorry to trouble you. Any expenses these rascals incur here will be fully reimbursed by the Forest Wolf Troop! We absolutely won’t let you waste a single cent of your money."
Su Ping smiled and shook his head, "Commander Zhang, you’re being too distant."
Let alone the Forest Wolf Troop offering reimbursement, Su Ping himself was eagerly awaiting the arrival of these ten Legion Beast Tamers!
