Beast Taming: the More the Better

Secondly, there was the mastery and acquisition of the Blinding Technique. Of course, if one were to argue, Second Strong had been trying its best to protect its master back then, choosing to step forward when its master was on the brink of life and death. However, this theory wasn't very plausible. Second Strong wasn't an unintelligent wild beast. Su Ping also believed that during the Legion's combat exercises, its master had definitely told the little guy that it wasn't a life-or-death struggle, so why push so hard? Therefore, this theory about its manifestation was, in Su Ping's assessment, unrealistic.

Moreover, various situations could occur in Pet Beast cultivation; perhaps some Pet Beasts were cultivated in an unanticipated instant, like the Paper Body Joint. But Pet Beast cultivation still had its fundamentals. The appearance of Super-Rank Skills was based on very strict foundational prerequisites. For instance, with Second Strong, its three Skills had not reached the Perfection Level, and a sudden power surge combined with an overload might have been required for it to achieve a breakthrough. However, if a Pet Beast had reached Old Sha's current level, where all Skill level requirements were met, then needing a sudden power surge would clearly be unscientific. Pet Beast cultivation also had to adhere to scientific principles. For Su Ping, all conditions concerning Old Sha had already been met, so there was no reason to expect any further surprises.

As Su Ping was contemplating this, the values on the Life Detector finally began to slowly change. The most noticeable was the Energy fluctuation. Old Sha's Energy value began to surge, rising from the previous 91% to 93%, then 97%, 102%, 111%, and onward.

It was unclear if it was an illusion, but within the already quite bright Sunlight Spring Water, under the illumination of the simulated sun lamp, a ray of light intensified further. At the same time, Old Sha's heartbeat and pulse also started to slowly increase. However, its life wasn't in any danger. This made Su Ping nod slightly, relatively satisfied. After Old Sha advanced to the Monarch Level, its ability to digest Monarch-grade resources also clearly improved by a tier. Its digestion and absorption of the Sun Crystal have become quite proficient!

However, Su Ping quickly thought of something annoying. Now that it's advanced to the Monarch Level and its absorption is enhanced, could it be that the effectiveness of the Sun Crystals will also decrease? After all, a single one of those is worth tens of millions. If I could save a few, I definitely would.

The brightness continued. The Sunlight Spring Water in the huge bathtub slowly became as clear as plain water, while Old Sha's fur and branches, under the lamplight, seemed to reflect a dazzling golden hue. It was dazzlingly eye-catching. The scene he had witnessed during the Legion's combat flashed through Su Ping's mind. At that time, the Wanmu Wolf, bathed in sunlight, had appeared white, almost transparent. Now, Old Sha's body was golden yellow. Under the light, it looked even more like a golden sculpture.

Su Ping watched Old Sha's condition while observing the changes on the Life Detector. Old Sha's Energy value continued to climb. However, the speed of the climb, compared to before, had become even more gradual. Finally, the upper limit of its Energy seemed to reach a threshold. Reaching 150%, it then began to recede.

And at this moment, Old Sha suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were no longer their previous deep green but had become extremely bright, lively, and vivid. The next moment, a flash of light burst before Su Ping's eyes. For a moment, Old Sha's eyes seemed to transform into large sun lamps. But it was only a brief flash; as if sensing Su Ping was right in front of it, the light abruptly ceased.

Su Ping revealed a slight smile. It was a success! The resource-intensive method really is effective. Sure enough, when Su Ping looked again with his Eye of Truth, Old Sha indeed possessed a new Skill: Blinding Technique (Beginner).

Su Ping once again looked at the experimental data. However, he didn't rush to remove the monitoring equipment from Old Sha, instead asking directly, "Old Sha, do you feel anything?"

Old Sha looked a bit confused. Clearly, the question was somewhat difficult for it. Undoubtedly, even among Pet Beasts of the same Level, there are differences. Su Ping didn't know how the Life Ancient Tree, a Monarch Peak Pet Beast, managed to speak human language, but Old Sha was still unable to do so. It could only let out a howl, which served as its response.

Su Ping's brows furrowed slightly. Then, without a second thought, he commanded, "Prepare to activate Sunlight Absorption, Photosynthesis, and Heart of Woods Energy, then unleash the Blinding Technique with all your might!"

Old Sha was taken aback. This is the laboratory, after all! Even though it isn't the most precious one for Magic Potion decomposition and configuration, it's still home. I'm not a shorthaired snow dog; I don't have a talent for wrecking the place! However, Old Sha executed Su Ping's orders even more thoroughly than a Pet Beast bound by a Soul Contract. Since its young master had commanded it, Old Sha had no reason to hesitate.

As Su Ping stepped out of the laboratory, a dazzling light burst forth from the laboratory's windows and doors, instantly illuminating the entire Heart of Wood Cultivation Base as if it were daytime. All the light emanated from the Old Wolf inside that laboratory.
