Beast Taming: the More the Better

Swordsmanship comprehension could continue, and the accumulation of Evolution Energy could be enhanced using resources!

Without a doubt, Su Ping's Contracted Beast seemed to have finally, truly, touched the edge of evolution. The significance of this was self-evident. The most significant difference was that Su Ping might not only be a Breeder in the future but also a true, combat-capable Beast Tamer!

Thinking of this, Su Ping looked towards the little fellow who was still reveling in his self-satisfaction.

"Qian Yi, the comprehension of swordsmanship is for dealing with all kinds of possible combat situations. The One-Word Electric Sword is just the beginning, certainly not the end! Are you ready for the second swordsmanship technique?"

"WAH!"

The little Paperman was brimming with confidence. Clearly, having completed the comprehension of the One-Word Electric Sword, the little Paperman not only achieved a deeper understanding of himself but also of the sword in his hands. Some energy conversions that he couldn't complete on his own could now be done through the sword. After all, if Heart of Woods had nothing else, it certainly had plenty of swords. The number of Papermen that could combine to form sword shapes was even greater.

So, the little Paperman patted his chest confidently. As long as there were swords, and as long as 'Master' could make them, he would have no problem.

However, the One-Word Electric Sword had been Su Ping's experiment. In such a short time, he really couldn't think of any other swordsmanship techniques to create. Thus, as the master, Su Ping decisively delegated this responsibility to the little Paperman.

"Qian Yi! A true Swordsman also needs to create his own swordsmanship techniques! Do you understand?!"

Qian Yi blinked. "WAH? Create my own?"

He then nodded resolutely. "WAH! I understand!"

「...」

Qian Yi returned to the necromancy basement to practice his so-called self-created swordsmanship, and Su Ping also began his preparations. He needed to prepare Necromancy System and Metal Element resources, from Elite to Commander Level—three of each type and for each level. Furthermore, to avoid any special circumstances, Su Ping had even exchanged for a Monarch Level Necromancy System resource from the Legion: the 'Frozen Soul Flame'. This was a precaution.

Besides this, Su Ping looked once more at the legacy of the Fengdu Sword King. Dong Muyun had initially given it to him after he was blasted out of the Secret Realm; Dong Muyun himself had received it as a gift to be passed on. From the outside, this item was a sword-shaped pendant, but in reality, there was a small space inside. This small space held the knowledge legacy of the Fengdu Sword King.

Previously, Su Ping would occasionally look at this legacy, but only in his free time. Because the books of the Sword King's legacy were made of sheepskin parchment, they were quite troublesome to handle, so his reading progress was not fast. However, these past few days, because of its connection to swords and the little Paperman, Su Ping had been studying it closely. Once he started, he found it hard to stop.

This was normal. After all, it was a notebook left by an ancient Beast Tamer who had reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Level. Containing the entire life's work of an Emperor Peak Level Beast Tamer, it wouldn't make sense if it were simple.

The idea of blindly revering antiquity was inadvisable in the era of Beast Tamers. The development of Pet Beasts was ever-changing; modern Beast Tamers were not necessarily stronger than those of ancient times, but they were definitely not weaker.

Therefore, Su Ping acknowledged some parts of this Fengdu Sword King's legacy notebook, while others he didn't care much for. After all, it was primarily a record of experiences and some Sword Device Cultivation and training methods. However, it lacked the most important thing!

As the Spirit of the Secret Realm had said, the Fengdu Sword King's two truly secret Sword Device evolution methods—the ordinary Rotten Sword evolving into the Commander Peak Immortal White Bone Sword, and the Emperor Peak Extinguishing Spirit Yama Sword—had both been offered to some Glazed Saint Master. They would never again be imparted to others.

Without these Secret Techniques for Cultivation and evolution, this notebook naturally only had referential value. Having read it all in one go, Su Ping's understanding of Sword Device Cultivation had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.

Although he didn't possess any Sword Artifact Pet Beasts, nor did he plan on contracting one, he had Paperman and now Qian Yi! The 'Paper Swords • Thunder' form the Paperman had evolved into this time made Su Ping realize just how tremendous its evolutionary potential was!

So, could he use the Cultivation and evolution methods for Instrument Type Pet Beasts to combine with the swords formed by the Paperman?

It had to be said, this was indeed quite possible! The Paperman was too flexible! If it was just a matter of forming a sword, then he could cultivate it according to its corresponding parts. He could use Sword Device experience to cultivate the Paperman!

It was a pity that although Su Ping now possessed a wealth of experiential theory, he lacked a genuine Sword Device evolution Cultivation method to experiment with, even indirectly.

Picking up the parchment, Su Ping was about to return it to the cabinet. However, Su Ping's eyebrows soon furrowed. The last page of the parchment book was blank.

Although Su Ping was puzzled as to why the Fengdu Sword King would leave the last page blank, he still respected the Sword King. Even though he had ultimately parted on bad terms with the Sword King's Sword Spirit, Su Ping still respected the Sword King. He resolved that if an opportunity arose in the future, he would try to fulfill the Fengdu Sword King's final wish.
