Beast Taming: the More the Better

And Sun Chaoju's idea was that it was fine to turn over the cultivation rights, but only after five years had passed, starting from next spring.

This guy's idea was actually quite reliable. It was foreseeable that after this year's Breeder competition, the Wanmu Wolf would become explosively popular. By then, only their Heart of Woods and Wolf Den would be capable of cultivating the Forest Wolf, ensuring they would make a killing.

Of course, the two had a clear agreement that one-tenth of the cultivation fees collected by Wolf Den would go to Su Ping as a royalty for being the primary researcher.

Sun Chaoju didn't care about this at all. The profits from cultivating the new Evolutionary Body were so substantial that this amount was negligible.

After five years, once the craze had died down, they would turn over their research to the Breeder Association again. This would earn them another batch of academic credits and also duly compensate Old Liu.

Therefore, for the past few days, Sun Chaoju had been at the Jianghai Breeder Association, attempting his first cultivation of the Wanmu Wolf in their laboratories and facilities. He could directly consult Su Ping if he encountered any difficulties. Moreover, whenever Su Ping visited the Breeder Association, he could also check on Sun Chaoju's progress.

That was the current situation.

"It's still about that previous matter. Remember when Huaiyang Province sent that batch of exchange Breeders to our Jianghai Province? Teacher Liu took those youngsters through the various cultivation facilities for some basic cultivation and training, fostering exchange and learning!"

Sun Chaoju shrugged. Previously, because of the last incident, Liu Fuhai had found those youngsters from Huaiyang Province quite disagreeable.

Now, after receiving the incredibly good news from Su Ping, he no longer cared and was just superficially maintaining a decent appearance.

Su Ping nodded. "Okay, take me there. I have an experiment that I need Teacher Liu to keep an eye on for me. Only then can I truly be at ease."

Throughout all of Linzhou, and perhaps the entire Jianghai Province, Su Ping was likely the only one who could so casually ask Liu Fuhai to 'keep an eye' on his experiment.

Never mind others; even Sun Chaoju and Yang He, who were nominally Old Liu's disciples, would have been met with a disdainful glare from him for such a request.

What status do you think you have? What kind of cultivation experiment are you conducting that you'd ask an esteemed elder like him to supervise it for you?

But with Su Ping, it was different. Even if Su Ping hadn't asked, had he merely come to the Breeder Association to conduct an experiment, Old Liu would have eagerly volunteered to observe.

The disparity between people truly was immense.

Su Ping said, "Let's go."

This was Su Ping's first time visiting the cultivation facilities and laboratory clusters located behind the Breeder Association's main hall.

Each cultivation facility within was clearly marked, and the different types of Pet Beasts were all segregated. It resembled a zoo with a special layout, only even more meticulous.

Beyond these, there were rows of continuous buildings housing all sorts of laboratories.

All kinds of Breeders were coming and going, carrying Pet Beasts in and out of the various cultivation facilities. Meanwhile, specialists inside recorded the status and experimental data of Pet Beasts being taken out or brought back.

It was clearly a very mature system.

On the way, many people recognized Sun Chaoju and greeted him, but most were relatively unfamiliar with Su Ping.

They might have heard Su Ping's name, but very few actually knew him personally.

Moreover, Old Liu had instructed those Breeders who were already aware of the matter not to disclose the information indiscriminately.

Therefore, only those Breeders within the small circle of Wolf Pet Breeders knew that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this prominent figure the crown prince of the Jianghai Breeder Association.

Of course, no one objected.

If anyone disagreed, they were welcome to develop a brand-new Evolutionary Body at his age; then they too could be so imposing.

In this world of Beast Tamers and Pet Beasts, strength was always the primary measure, regardless of the era.

Only true personal strength could command respect.

After stepping down from the association's sightseeing vehicle with Sun Chaoju, they arrived in front of a specialized Pet Beast facility.

At the entrance of the facility stood a signboard. It depicted a flame-wolf's head with the words 'Flame Wolf' written in large characters underneath.

A Flame Wolf cultivation facility?

Su Ping's interest was piqued, and he followed Sun Chaoju inside. As they entered the uniquely sealed, hyper-realistic facility, a wave of heat inconsistent with the current season enveloped them.

Su Ping momentarily felt a sense of suffocation.

However, this was just the outer area.

Moving further inside, Su Ping saw that the entire massive facility was encased in a layer of complete thermal insulation glass. Within this enclosure, furry, flame-colored Flame Wolves strolled leisurely.

There were no plants inside, only dark stone tiles paving the ground. Large flame projectors were placed at intervals throughout the space.

As Su Ping watched, a blast of fire erupted from one of the projectors. An Elite Peak Flame Wolf hurried underneath it, seemingly bathing in the flames. Its fluffy fur billowed as it shook its body, appearing extremely relaxed and content.

Pet Beasts truly are remarkable.

Su Ping watched with keen interest.

Following Sun Chaoju's lead, they eventually reached a small, sectioned-off area, separate from the main Flame Wolf habitat.

There were over a dozen people inside this section, most of whom were strangers to Su Ping.

However, among them were three familiar figures.
