Beast Taming: the More the Better

It wasn't yet dawn, and the center of the Breeder Association in Jianghai was extraordinarily peaceful.

However, inside the laboratory of the Breeder Association, it was still bustling with activity.

Several figures were rapidly checking the numbers on the instruments, and the sounds of Wolf Howls could be heard from time to time.

Among these people, the one leading was none other than Liu Fuhai.

He had not left all night and had been in his office the entire time.

This was his routine.

Ever since the nominal chairman of Jianghai Province went to the Imperial Capital and did not return, his work as the vice chairman had never ceased.

Fortunately, while other territories grew busier in winter, things at the Breeder Association were conversely quieter, giving Liu Fuhai a little respite.

Therefore, he finally had some time to come to the exclusive laboratory of the Association to continue researching his experimental direction, which had not yet succeeded:

The Super-Rank Skill combination of the Snow Wolf's Evolutionary Body, the Icefang Whitewolf.

After the last announcement of failure, Old Liu was originally disheartened.

But when he saw the Wanmu Wolf's Super-Rank Skill Seed that Su Ping possessed while in the Legion, Old Liu's hopes were rekindled.

If Su Ping could do it, why couldn't he, after so many years?

Should he switch to experimenting with other Pet Beasts? Clearly, that was even more impossible. The energy required would be immense, and unless he was incredibly lucky, he likely wouldn't see much progress within five years.

Naturally, it would be better to continue studying the Icefang Whitewolf.

Clearly, Old Liu was genuinely unwilling to give up.

Besides, he had gained some experience from Su Ping this time.

As a result, after sifting through numerous ice- and snow-based Skills, Liu Fuhai actually found a few that might have a chemical reaction with the Icefang Whitewolf's Special Skills.

In fact, the Cultivation of Super-Rank Skills is extremely special.

The combination of Skills is one aspect of Cultivation, but definitely not the whole picture.

For example, there is a Super-Rank Skill combination well-known to many: Heart of Elements.

Previously, Qin Xiaoxue and Su Ping had both mentioned this Skill.

And Heart of Woods is one of the combination Skills that make up Heart of Elements.

Among the other combination Skills, Heart of Gold, Heart of Water, Heart of Fire, and Earth's Heart are also needed.

Even some Wind Heart or Heart of Thunder could, to some extent, help piece together Heart of Elements.

But what creature could cultivate five or even more Heart of Elements Skills?

From an Attribute standpoint, this was already impossible. Creatures with so many Attributes did exist, but such Pet Beasts hardly needed Cultivation.

Moreover, some Super-Rank Skills cannot be simply fused and combined just because they have been cultivated.

The Level of the Skills, their degree of association, and even the Pet Beast's Talent and comprehension were all potentially critical factors with significant influence.

Under such circumstances, the difficulty of fully developing a cultivatable Super-Rank Skill is unimaginable.

Otherwise, cultivating a Super-Rank Skill wouldn't be considered venturing into the Domain of a Breeding Master.

"Teacher, there's no direct reaction between the Snow Swallowing Technique and the Icefang Whitewolf's Frozen Bloodline Skill..."

After everything was completed, Liu Fuhai's eyebrows knitted together again as he listened to the words of a subordinate Snow Wolf Breeder.

Although he had anticipated the result, Old Liu was still somewhat disappointed.

Where on earth was the path to the Snow Wolf's Super-Rank Skill?

The Icefang Whitewolf's Frozen Bloodline Skill had so much potential.

According to his years of conjecture, it definitely had the potential to combine with other Skills to form a true Super-Rank Skill.

But it had failed again.

Liu Fuhai sighed, glancing out the window.

The darkness outside had already quietly faded, replaced by the pale light of dawn. This sight seemed to lift his spirits. He then turned to encourage the other Breeders, whose faces also showed unspoken disappointment:

"Alright, discovering clues about Super-Rank Skills isn't that easy, is it? Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be able to succeed? We still have plenty of time. Let's go for breakfast first! After breakfast, we'll look for another opportunity to try again."

The laboratory door was opened.

No one said much because they knew that the person having the hardest time right now was actually Liu Fuhai.

After all, this was all Liu Fuhai's hard work; they were only there to lend a hand.

And as expected, after everyone left, Liu Fuhai sat in his chair, his brow deeply furrowed.

Looking at the Snow Wolf before him, his brow furrowed. They had spent a good month and a half with this Icefang Whitewolf. Their goal was to cultivate it and teach it the Special Skill 'Snow Swallowing Technique.' Yet, even after successfully cultivating the Skill, they still hadn't found the slightest connection between it and other Skills.

Another half month's painstaking effort had gone down the drain, and they had to start searching for new possibilities all over again.

Although he was used to it, Liu Fuhai still felt somewhat helpless.

He couldn't help but think of that brat.

What a pity that brat's Pet Beast research hadn't continued in the direction of Wolf Pets. Even if he didn't want to research the Forest Wolf, he could have tried other Wolf Pets!

If that brat had researched the Icefang Whitewolf, perhaps he could indeed have proposed some interesting ideas and possibilities.
