"A Wanmu Wolf with Monarch Level potential..."
"A perfected Heart of Woods recipe..."
"An Intermediate Breeder... no, a Senior Breeder now..."
Su Anyong kept muttering these phrases, clearly still in shock.
However, Old Sha was hopping around energetically. Su Anyong used his spiritual power to continuously check him. Whether it was physical Skills, intelligence, or the smooth flow of Old Shaâs own Energy, there wasnât the slightest problem. Not only that, but the abundant Life force, which even he found astonishing, also seemed to prove it.
Had Old Shaâs lifespan crisis truly been so easily resolved by his own son?
He looked at his son beside him, stroking Old Shaâs head.
Without any reason, Su Anyong suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. His son had been opinionated since he was little. Of course, growing up with a father like him, it was normal to have opinions. After all, truth be told, apart from finding Su Pingâs first Contracted Beast, Su Anyong felt he hadnât truly fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. And now, in this short span of a month, Su Ping evoked a feeling in Su Anyong that he couldnât quite describe. It was a feeling that every father has when they see their child achieve something extraordinary. Complex, unfamiliar, and of course, mostly pride. He had every right to be proud! Even within his understanding, how many people could boast achievements like his sonâs? The perfected Magic Potion of Heart of Woods... a brand-new Forest Wolf Evolver. And it was right before his eyesâan Evolutionary Body whose strength and potential he fully acknowledged.
Seeing his fatherâs gaze finally change slightly, Su Ping eventually couldnât help but speak again, "Does what you said earlier still count?"
Su Anyong finally snapped back to reality. Remembering what had just happened, he chuckled, "I was just kidding with you, kid. You actually took your old man seriously?"
Su Ping nodded.
"Hey, hey, relax. Isnât your old manâs stuff yours anyway? Iâll definitely give it to you, but I still need it right now..."
Su Ping shook his head.
"Youâre at the age for studying; that thingâs too flashy..."
Su Ping remained expressionless.
Pleading in vain, Su Anyong finally exploded, "You little rascal, donât think you can overturn the heavens just because youâve made a little progress!"
The slap aimed at Su Pingâs head was blocked by a tree branch.
Old Sha let out a clear AWOO from the side.
Old Shaâs gaze was hesitant and complex. On one hand was Su Anyong, who had been with him the longest. On the other was his young master, Su Ping, who had also helped him evolve. It was really difficult for him to take sides! But no matter what, hitting someone is definitely wrong!
Su Anyong sullenly withdrew his hand. Even if Old Sha hadnât intervened, he wouldnât have had the heart to truly strike him.
Now, it seemed, the kidâs head was precious. What if he damaged it?
Su Ping also hurriedly said from the side, "We agreed earlier that if I really did it, you would give me your car."
That darn two-hundred-million-worth hovering sports car! How could the old coot drive something so expensive without worrying about throwing out his back! As such a filial son, Su Ping naturally had to relieve him of this heavy burden with gusto.
Unfortunately, if Su Anyong could be so easily figured out, he wouldnât be Su Anyong.
Facing Su Pingâs excited gaze, Su Anyong said directly, "From now on, youâre my dad, okay?"
Su Ping blinked, then glared furiously at Su Anyong, "Su Anyong, are you really going to be a sore loser? Shamelessly going back on your word with your own son like this?"
"What shameless tricks am I playing?" Su Anyong sneered, arms crossed over his chest. "Didnât we agree before? If you could pull it off, Iâd call you âDad.â So? Now Iâve called you that, and youâre the one too scared to accept it, kid? As for the rest, hmph! Nothing!"
Su Ping was truly at a loss, glowering fiercely at the old man.
However, Su Anyong seemed to suddenly get enthusiastic, "Dad, hurry up and fetch your son a basin of water to wash my feet."
Su Ping ignored him.
The old fellow was acting more and more undignified with age.
He simply went back into the house, leaving the old fellow to spend more time with Old Sha.
With his father back, Su Ping gave himself and his âlittle onesâ a rare break, immediately entering meditation.
He had now reached the Common Tenth Level.
He was only a step away from the Elite Tier. Once he broke through to the Elite Level, he would be able to contract the Paperman and awaken the Space Characteristics, becoming a true Beast Tamer.
Speaking of which, among the Pet Beasts required for the Meditation Method Qin Xiaoxue had given him, the Paperman was indeed one of them.
However, Su Ping suspected that any Beast Tamer who had the opportunity to access the Modu Advanced Academyâs Meditation Method would, under no circumstances, choose the Paperman as one of their other Contracted Beasts.
Su Ping plunged into Darkness.
And indeed, that was the case. Elsewhere, after Su Ping and Lao Guan had both left, Su Anyong finally composed himself. He then began to speak to Old Sha at his side, sharing words that only the two of them would truly understand:
"I truly never expected it. I tried so many methods back then, even helping you, Old Sha, break through your race limit, yet you still didnât complete your Evolution. But this kid of mine actually did it."
"Itâs just a shame I couldnât personally accompany you through your Evolution. Seeing you like this now, Iâm still not quite used to it."
"But... damn, you look so cool! It makes me kind of regret it. Back then, my old man tried to force me to contract a Forest Wolf as a Pet Beast. I refused, and he nearly broke my legs."
