This was the assessment, which made Su Ping somewhat embarrassed.
At the same time, Su Ping also got a taste of the Beast Tamer Legion’s canteen food. Perhaps because it was a special meal, the flavor was surprisingly good.
As for Vice President Liu, he didn’t seem interested in eating at all. He bombarded Su Ping with questions at the dinner table about Cultivation processes, trigger conditions, and more.
Su Ping didn’t really have anything to hide. The Evolution Law for the Wanmu Wolf would have to be presented at the Breeder Competition anyway, and it was a good idea to give President Liu a heads-up.
While Su Ping was engaged in a lively conversation, Yang He, at that moment in the headquarters, had just finished his tasteless military meal. He immediately returned to his resting area and took out his mobile phone.
There were various messages on the phone: some news, some notifications, and some messages that were read but he didn’t feel like replying to.
Almost without thinking, Yang He clicked into a group chat. Inside this group chat, there were quite a few messages mentioning him.
The name of the group was also quite distinctive: ’Jianghai Wolves’.
At first glance, the group name seemed a bit informal. But in fact, it was quite formal, and there weren’t many members—just about twenty or so. However, the people in this group were all prominent figures within Jianghai Province, and those mentioning him at this moment were among them.
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: @Sand-in-Yang, Old Yang, what’s it like inside the Legion? Can you take some photos for the brothers to see?]
[Shadow of the Wolf (Mu Hang): Stop talking nonsense! What kind of place is the Legion? You think they let you take photos there? Don’t go looking for trouble!]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: I’m just curious, damn it! If it weren’t for some Breeder who popped out of nowhere, a spot in the Legion’s Cultivation would have definitely been mine!]
[Li Weiwei: Then why didn’t you get in? In the entire Jianghai Province, it seems like only Old Yang got the chance for the Sand Wolf Cultivation, right?]
[Shadow of the Wolf (Mu Hang): If Old Zhao hadn’t been too busy working with President Liu on that Icefang Whitewolf project, I bet he would have had a chance to get in too, right?]
[Old Zhao: No, no, no. I heard that this time a Senior Breeder from Beiyuan Province came. And the evolved Ice System and Poison Type hybrid Pet Beast they’re cultivating is apparently quite rare. I really don’t have that kind of skill...]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: Enough chatter, where’s Old Yang? @Sand-in-Yang, isn’t the official competition tomorrow? Have you seen who this Forest Wolf Breeder is?]
A series of mentions made Yang He scroll through them for quite a while. In the end, he reached the bottom, only to find Sun Chaoju still pestering him about the identity of the Forest Wolf Breeder.
Clearly, this guy is bothered because he was edged out and missed the chance to be involved. He’s dead set on finding out which Breeder came out of nowhere to take what he thought was rightfully his. Too bad for him. Yang He clicked his tongue.
However, in their small group chat of Wolf Pet Breeders within the Jianghai Breeder Association, there weren’t really any secrets.
Everyone knew that the identity of this Legion’s Forest Wolf Breeder was the only one not yet revealed. Naturally, many people were curious and tagging him.
[Sand-in-Yang: Didn’t Vice President Liu also arrive today? Why don’t you guys ask him?]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: You finally show up! Stop beating around the bush and spill it! Have you seen that Forest Wolf Breeder or not?]
[Sand-in-Yang: I’ve seen him, and we had a great chat. Old Sun, Old Wang, you two can stop feeling resentful. He’s simply better than you!]
[The Old Wang Not Next Door: Hey, Old Yang, I didn’t do anything to you, did I? What’s this got to do with me?]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: When I get back, I’ll treat you to three rounds at the Di Hao. How about that? Spill the beans, quick!]
Seeing Sun Chaoju’s promise, Yang He chuckled.
[Sand-in-Yang: Actually, you all know him.]
[Shadow of the Wolf (Mu Hang): Who is it? If you keep stringing us along, forget about the Di Hao when you get back. You’ll be going for a winter swim in the Lingxi River!]
Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe and everyone else was sufficiently intrigued, Yang He decided to stop holding back.
[Sand-in-Yang: Su Ping!]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: What?!]
[Shadow of the Wolf (Mu Hang): ?]
[Old Zhao: ?] Google seaʀᴄh novｅlfire.net
A flood of question marks exploded in the chat, even drawing out a few "old turtles" who had been lurking silently. This undoubtedly gave Yang He’s ego a huge boost.
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: What the hell?! The Legion’s Breeder for Forest Wolves is Su Ping? Is that the Su Ping I know? Su Ping from Linzhou, the one with the Heart of Woods?]
[Sand-in-Yang: No kidding. Do you know another Su Ping? When he arrived this morning, it shocked the hell out of me. I almost thought I was seeing things.]
[The Old Wang Not Next Door: So, Su Ping went to cultivate Forest Wolves... then what he cultivated is...]
This time, Yang He didn’t keep them in suspense.
[Sand-in-Yang: The Wanmu Wolf.]
In an instant, the previously boisterous group chat fell silent at this revelation. Everyone watching the chat seemed to be digesting this piece of news—information that none of them had initially been able to process.
The Wanmu Wolf... succeeded?! A brand-new, never-before-seen Evolutionary Body of the Forest Wolf has emerged? And from the hands of a kid who just graduated?
Indeed, such news required some time to sink in.
After all, those present were Intermediate Level Breeders of Wolf Pets. After many years of hard work and study, they had all strived to create their own novel Evolutionary Bodies, hoping to advance to Senior Breeder.
But was it really that easy?
In their view, common Pet Beasts like Wolf Pets had been thoroughly researched over the years. Where would there be new Evolutionary Bodies left for them to discover?
Yet, reality had just slapped them across the face.
A kid who had just graduated... had succeeded!
However, the brief silence was shattered by a barrage of messages that almost instantly flooded the screen.
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: Holy crap?!]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: I always said the Wanmu Wolf was absolutely feasible! See! I was damn right!]
[Wolf Den-Sun Chaoju: Damn it! When that kid met me last time, he totally kept me in the dark! He just casually said he’d made ’a bit of a breakthrough’? No way! When I get back, I’m making that brat treat me!]
[Shadow of the Wolf (Mu Hang): Su Ping wasn’t wrong, though. It *was* ’a bit of progress.’ But damn, Sun Chaoju, you really hit the jackpot with luck, stumbling onto this. *You’re* the one who should be treating!]
[Li Weiwei: Jackpot luck +1]
It really was incredible luck!
Sun Chaoju, who was currently in Shuhua City, was grinning from ear to ear.
Even though I wasn’t the one who perfected the Evolution, just being the discoverer is enough! It’s unlikely to make me a Senior Breeder, but this is still huge!
This was a chance to make a name for himself. The new Evolutionary Body of the Forest Wolf, the ’Wanmu Wolf,’ was first discovered and researched by him.
It wasn’t just about fame, but also tangible benefits!
As the discoverer, never mind the popularity it’ll bring to my Wolf Den, just my share of the academic credits alone will allow me to get many valuable resources that money can’t buy on the open market!
For a moment, Sun Chaoju felt that the money he’d promised to spend treating Yang He was utterly worthwhile.
As for Su Ping? He’s no longer just that Genius Breeder junior I once knew.
At this moment, Sun Chaoju’s thoughts mirrored Li Shu’s.
Towards this Breeder, who was more than a decade younger than him, Sun Chaoju only wanted to say one thing:
"Sire, if you would not abandon this humble one, Chaoju is willing to acknowledge you as his foster father!"
Yang He ignored the commotion in the group chat and contentedly put down his phone.
While this minor earthquake was shaking the Breeder circles of Linzhou, the day at the military camp proceeded in an orderly fashion.
「And so, the day slowly passed.」
Finally, under the expectant gazes of the entire Legion, the long-awaited and momentous competition began.
