Beast Taming: the More the Better

One was the bored Vice President Liu, and another was Ding Yan, the Senior Breeder of the Flame Wolf and developer of the Ashen Wolf Lord, whom Su Ping had encountered in the Legion a few days prior.

The last one, Su Ping only found familiar. He was likely one of the Intermediate Breeders from when Vice President Liu had given a lecture. However, Su Ping had no significant interaction with him, knew little about him, and didn't even remember his name clearly.

"The Flame Wolf's temperament is volatile, so to approach and command it, one needs a profound understanding of its habits."

"Here in Jianghai Province, Teacher Liu once discussed the simplest method of bonding with a Flame Wolf..."

In the partitioned room, a Flame Wolf Breeder from Jianghai Province was chattering incessantly to the Breeders from Huaiyang Province who had come for the exchange.

However, the Junior Breeders from Huaiyang below clearly weren't paying the slightest attention.

Because the teacher leading their team this time was a Senior Breeder of the Flame Wolf, speaking of these matters in front of him was like performing a sword dance in front of Guan Yu.

Even Vice President Liu hadn't developed his own new Evolutionary Body for the Flame Wolf. So, in their hearts, when it came to expertise on the Flame Wolf—aside from other Pet Beasts—it was better to listen more to their own teacher.

Neither Tian Xinghuo, the Breeder sitting at the head of the table, nor Vice President Liu cared much anymore.

This exchange, supposedly for sharing ideas, was in reality an opportunity for the Breeders from Huaiyang Province to show off.

But it had to be said, some promising young talent had indeed appeared this time.

The young man with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, who had previously spoken of the Forest Wolf's low cultivation value, was particularly noteworthy. He was a disciple of an equally high-ranking Senior Breeder from Huaiyang Province.

Reportedly, he had successfully cultivated the 'Temperature Elevation' Skill for a Molten Canine.

Had the success rate not been so low, perhaps this 19-year-old lad could already have become an Intermediate Breeder over in Huaiyang Province.

There were one or two others in the team with similar achievements, but their contributions weren't as valuable or significant as the Molten Canine's 'Temperature Elevation' Skill.

Previously, Vice President Liu had been quite envious of Huaiyang Province for producing so much promising young talent. But now, Old Liu was indifferent. He regarded these youngsters with a calm, detached gaze, as if observing a passing breeze.

The gap between one genius and another is even greater than that between a genius and an ordinary person. In his heart, ten thousand of these so-called cultivation geniuses didn't amount to a fart when compared to Su Ping.

Ding Yan seemed to feel the same way. Since returning from the Legion, he had lost the desire to show off, and his attitude toward the Jianghai Province Breeder Association had somewhat improved.

It was only these youngsters he'd brought along who clearly hadn't realized what had transpired. They still carried an air of superiority, not particularly caring about the Breeders from Jianghai Province.

A bunch of little brats who have yet to be battered by society and have never seen a real genius. Look at Su Ping. He possesses such talent and ability, yet not a trace of arrogance. His entire focus is on the cultivation of Pet Beasts.

After such reflections, when they looked back at these youngsters, everyone adopted a more laissez-faire attitude.

The current situation was no different. However, as Old Liu was teasing the Flame Wolf at his side, he glanced up and was momentarily taken aback. His eyes lit up when he saw two figures outside the high-temperature glass.

He quickly stood up, briskly opened the door, and let Su Ping enter.

"Su Ping, what brings you here?"

Before Old Liu could speak, Ding Yan, who had also noticed Su Ping, spoke up.

All eyes turned to the two newcomers.

They recognized Sun Chaoju, the Intermediate Breeder of Forest Wolves, who was with the newcomer. He had spoken to them about the pros and cons of the Forest Wolf before, but they had been utterly uninterested.

The person next to Sun Chaoju, however, was a young man around their age.

Does our Teacher Ding know him? And to be so enthusiastic? Didn't their teacher say that these Breeders from Jianghai Province were all incompetents, only good at infighting, petty individuals with no ambition?

Su Ping smiled slightly. "Senior Ding is here too. I have something to discuss with Old Liu."

"What is it?" Old Liu asked with a smile, glancing at Ding Yan from the corner of his eye. Little bastard, still dare to look down on us Breeders from Jianghai Province?

"I'm working on an experimental project, and I don't have many wolf-type Pet Beasts at my place. So, I came to our association to borrow some Pet Beasts for the experiment. I'd also like you to take a look to prevent any accidents."

An experiment!? Not only did Liu Fuhai's eyes light up, but Ding Yan's did as well. Wolf-type Pet Beasts—obviously, this was an experiment involving wolf-type Pet Beasts.

Vice President Liu laughed heartily. "Just this? Come on, I'll take you to get the Pet Beasts. Let's go to my lab!"

Old Liu was inwardly excited. This cheeky youngster finally remembered him, a Senior Breeder of Wolf Pets at the Breeder Association! At last, he could be of use.

After a quick word of instruction to Tian Xinghuo, Old Liu, practically buzzing with impatience, was ready to lead Su Ping away, completely ignoring everyone else behind him.

Meanwhile, Ding Yan, fidgeting beside him, ultimately couldn't hold back. Under the astonished gazes of all the Junior Breeders from Huaiyang Province, he spoke up,

"Uh... Su Ping, do you need any help from me?"

Su Ping was taken aback. He turned his head to look at Breeder Ding and, after a moment's thought, said,
