Ding Yan glanced at his nephew and nodded with satisfaction. His nephewâs talent was indeed commendable. Otherwise, Ding Yan wouldnât have planned to train him as a Breeder, and he had even begun to consider some possibilities involving Su Ping. Indeed, Ding Yan knew more about Su Ping than others; occasionally, when he had free time, they would interact.
Previously, Su Ping had asked for Ding Yanâs help with something. This was when Su Ping obtained the Five Elements blueprint from Xue Hongluan. The Zhang Family Brothers hailed from Huaiyang Province. Su Ping had introduced Ding Yan to the younger Zhang brother, the Beast Tamer of the Flame Wolf, as a gesture concerning Xue Hongluanâs blueprint. Ding Yan had successfully bred the younger Zhangâs Flame Wolf into an Ashen Wolf Lord with potential at Monarch Peak.
Ding Yan also knew that Su Pingâs Heart of Myriad Spirits was in dire need of more hands. Of course, he couldnât possibly go himself. After all, Ding Yan had left Jianghai Province many years ago. He had been ostracized back then, with no choice but to leave Jianghai and join the Beast Master Association in Huaiyang Province. Since Huaiyang Province had treated him very well, Ding Yan naturally couldnât betray their kindness.
However, his elder brotherâs son certainly could. If the boy could be properly cultivated and learn from Su Ping, his future would be boundless.
Thinking of this, Ding Yan looked at Ding Xiaolong with satisfaction in his heart. Though the young fellow was proud and haughty, he had the substance to back it up. Ding Yan had been teaching him intermittently for about three years. Now, the youngster had not only begun to learn the Flame Wolfâs Skill, âFire Wave Technique,â but had also started to grasp Ding Yanâs prized Evolution Law: the breeding evolution of the Ashen Wolf Lord!
Moreover, the Talent he awakened, "Wolf Howl," was also quite impressive. In fact, President Liu of the Jianghai Breeder Association also possessed this Talent. This Talent could greatly increase a Wolf Petâs affinity for its master, significantly reducing any likelihood of rebellion. Furthermore, it could actively stimulate the Wolf Petâs potential, enabling it to exert even greater strength. Indeed, he was a very promising prospect, whether as a Breeder or a Beast Tamer.
Of course, any so-called genius pales in comparison to that monstrously talented individual.
Thinking this, Ding Yan inwardly pondered how he should swallow his pride and approach Su Ping about the matter.
However, just at that moment, the doors to the examination hall were pushed open, and two figures walked in slowly.
The person in the lead was, of course, unmistakable: Liu Fuhai. His bald head was the most conspicuous âpassâ in all of Jianghai. Yet, the figure beside him surprised everyone present.
The first to react was the female Breeder surnamed Lin, who stood up and said, "President Liu, Breeder Su, welcome. The rented Pet Beasts for the examinees have been dispatched and will soon be delivered by Association staff."
All eyes turned to the two newcomers. Liu Fuhai, unfazed by their gazes, simply smiled and nodded. "Su Ping and I just came to have a casual look."
Su Ping glanced around. He nodded with a smile upon seeing Li Shu and Guan Lili, who also hadnât quite reacted. Then he saw Ding Yan, who seemed equally surprised, and asked, "Breeder Ding, what are you doing here?"
Ding Yan clearly hadnât expected Su Ping and was momentarily speechless. "Su Ping, you..."
But Ding Yan quickly recovered. He realized it was perfectly natural for Su Ping to be here; his own presence, however, was rather unexpected. "My nephew is here for the Intermediate Breeder examination. I just came by to check on him. Iâm grateful that President Liu and Breeder Lin allowed me to observe."
After his brief explanation, Ding Yanâs eyes lit up. He turned to Ding Xiaolong, who was staring intently at Su Ping. "Xiao Long, come here. This is the Su Ping Su Cultivator I often tell you about!"
This time, Ding Xiaolong didnât falter. He approached Su Ping and Ding Yan and said, "Breeder Su, itâs a pleasure to meet you."
Although he was competitive and arrogant, he was somewhat different from the former class monitor, Zhou Shuchen. Regardless, Su Ping representing Jianghai Province at a young age in the Breeding Contest, securing first place, and developing a Super-Rank Skillâthese were all undeniable achievements. He couldnât hope to compare with such accomplishments.
Therefore, Ding Xiaolong paused, his eyes shining as he looked at Su Ping. "Breeder Su, one day, I too will become a powerful Breeder like you."
Su Ping was taken aback. Then he smiled warmly. "Do your best. With Breeder Dingâs guidance, I believe in your future."
Meanwhile, Liu Fuhai, after exchanging a few words with the female Breeder surnamed Lin, overheard this and smiled. "Kid, becoming a Breeder like Su Ping isnât as simple as just studying Wolf Pets."
Liu Fuhai had a strong relationship with Su Ping. The matters concerning the Dragon Emblem and the Paperman, if publicized, would directly overshadow Su Pingâs achievements with Wolf Pets. If not for his insufficient Spiritual Power Realm, he would likely have already been certified by the Breeder Association as a true Undead Breeding Master.
