Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Ordinary Ninth Rank, Evolutionary Cultivation Begins! (Three More)
Su Ping knew he owed a big favor and could only think of repaying it later with some special Cultivation method.
Although he was somewhat emotional, Su Ping was not the type to be excessively sentimental or affected.
Qin Xiaoxue already mailed it over, Su Ping thought. How could I possibly be so difficult as to send it back? Send it back? With her personality, would she even accept it? Now that I’ve taken it, I’ll just have to find ways to reciprocate in the future.
Of course, this was also because Su Ping had confidence in himself. Otherwise, if he lacked the ability, forcibly accepting such a gift might indeed require a commitment of a more... personal nature.
Currently, Su Ping was only of an Ordinary Tier.
He could not even enter his own Beast Taming Space, only able to use Psychic Perception and control.
The Creation Divine Stone, no larger than a pebble and with a three-leaf clover growing on it, slowly disappeared from sight and then merged into Su Ping’s Beast Taming Space.
The dreary, silent Beast Taming Space, a mere concept of existence, slowly encompassed it.
A streak of vibrant life burst forth from it, prompting Su Ping to unconsciously let out a soft breath.
An icy sensation spread, seeming to emanate from the deepest part of his soul.
His mind felt a wave of clarity. A cool stream spread from the depths of his consciousness throughout his body, involuntarily guiding him into a state of meditation.
The Spiritual Power in the Beast Taming Space quickly gathered towards it.
In an instant, Su Ping broke through the slight Spirit Barrier—one not even considered a bottleneck—and his own Realm advanced from Ordinary Eighth Rank to Ordinary Ninth Rank.
This is Emperor Level Peak material!
Moreover, it was a special material effective for human Beast Tamers, its value beyond the comparison of ordinary items.
Even if it didn’t directly increase a Beast Tamer’s Spiritual Realm, its contribution to Realm advancement was entirely natural and smooth.
And the Beast Taming Space was the foundation of a Beast Tamer.
Many Advanced Level resources not originating from Pet Beasts were actually discovered within the Beast Taming Spaces of High-Level Beastmasters.
Therefore, managing the Beast Taming Space is the most important task for a Beast Tamer, second only to their Pet Beasts.
Su Ping occasionally wondered what his first Space Characteristics would be once he broke through to the Elite Tier and his Beast Taming Space began to show its effects. He also pondered his future plans for the Beast Taming Space.
But he never dreamed that he would start with such an amazing stroke of luck.
He focused on the sensation for a moment. Perhaps the slight intoxication had long since faded, or perhaps it was due to the day’s events, but Su Ping felt no desire to sleep.
He first went to check on the Paperman. Seeing the little fellow was still diligently practicing, Su Ping decided not to disturb it further.
Instead, he went to the edge of the forest. Sure enough, nothing in the vast woods could escape Old Sha’s perception.
The moment he appeared, Old Sha left the training wolf pack and quickly approached Su Ping:
"AWOO! (You’re back!)"
Su Ping rubbed Old Sha’s head. The old wolf showed a contented expression, and Su Ping finally said,
"Old Sha, are you ready for Evolution?"
Evolution? Even without Mind Sensing, Old Sha understood human language quite well.
At first, it looked at Su Ping perplexedly. Then its eyes, already eerily green in the night, suddenly became incredibly bright.
As an old wolf who’s lived for so many years and seen so much, how could I not know what this means? How could I not understand what Evolution represents? Stronger Abilities, a brighter future, and an extended lifespan.
This youngster in front of me... I watched him grow up from when he was tiny. Back then, he was just a child in split pants. But he’s also my most important family. My new little master, whom I must continue to silently care for.
Many years ago, I also thought about Evolution and even attempted it. However, my early opportunities led to an improvement in my Sunlight Absorption Skill, even allowing me to break through the limit of my Race. Yet, this very breakthrough might have, under certain circumstances, become a shackle. After several attempts, spending a huge amount of Money and resources, all ended in failure. Eventually, even I gave up.
My greatest wish then was to see this boy grow up and restore the Heart of Woods to its former glory. Now, I’ve seen it. Essentially, I have no regrets. I was just waiting for the end, for my vitality to completely fade and to pass away. But I never imagined that today, at this very moment, this little fellow I watched grow up would say such things to me.
In that instant, the aged wolf seemed to shed twenty years, returning to the prime of its youth from decades past.
It suddenly straightened its tall body. At this moment, the spirited Old Sha was even slightly taller than the upright Su Ping.
Towards the bright moonlight in the sky, Old Sha raised its head and howled.
In that howl, it was as if an old soldier on the verge of death was boldly declaring to a young general, "Though I am aged, my arrows are still sharp!"
My little master hasn’t given up on me, so why should I give up on myself? That Magic Potion from the Heart of Woods... it made me completely unable to see through my little master. And now, in these final moments, I’m willing to believe in Su Ping!
Su Ping also laughed heartily and patted Old Sha’s back. "Good! Starting tomorrow morning, Old Sha, prepare to undergo my Evolution Cultivation!"
"AOOUU!"
Beneath the bright moonlight, the ear-piercing Wolf Howl echoed far and wide...
「And right outside the gates of Heart of Woods.」
A small flying vehicle instantly flew over from the road above.
It passed by the gates of Heart of Woods and returned to Yuntian Resort.
This vehicle had no intention of stopping but went straight to the highest level of the central building, by the window outside.
Then, in a transformation reminiscent of Iron Man, the flying vehicle retracted into a watch, revealing the figure within.
This figure was none other than Dong Muyun, dressed only in underwear.
This kind of personal flying vehicle wasn’t as good as those combat armors developed through Mechanical Pet Beast Cultivation.
Dong Muyun didn’t mind. She casually walked into the bathroom for a shower, then put on pajamas, took a glass of red wine, and pressed a button.
It wasn’t long before a figure walked in. "Chairman."
"How has that little fellow next door been while I was away from Linzhou?"
"Reporting to the Chairman, Su Ping hasn’t visited again. His business seems to be thriving. The weekly Cultivation fees are bringing in four to five million."
Dong Muyun exhaled, a hint of urgency in her eyes. "I understand. Tomorrow, you come with me to find that little fellow. Then, we’ll do this..."
"This... Yes."
I must meet this kid, Dong Muyun thought.
