"Would you like to consume?"

Feeling the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping's expression grew slightly focused.

Truth be told, the Catalog Experience required for this seems quite low from my current perspective. After all, researching Xiao Qing's mutation initially required a full 50,000 Experience Points—though now it only needs 40,000. But for an Emperor Level evolutionary body like the Crown Wolf Emperor, further perfection only requires 3,500 Catalog Experience. Granted, that's the total experience needed to level the Catalog from Lv. 1 all the way to Lv. 3. However, my Forest Wolf Catalog already has nearly 20,000 Experience Points and is approaching Lv. 4. Considering that, 3,500 really isn't much.

However, I can understand. Perfecting the Wanmu Wolf back then required roughly less than 1,700 Catalog Experience. Further enhancements for the Elf Wolf and Forest Wolf needed 1,200 and 800 points, respectively. The Crown Wolf Emperor's evolution is already relatively complete, so this kind of improvement is naturally different. Viewed this way, perfecting the Crown Wolf Emperor is indeed quite normal.

Su Ping blinked.

If it were someone else's Pet Beast evolution, I might not be willing to spend this much Catalog Experience. However, Qin Xiaoxue has treated me very well, and the evolution of a Contracted Beast cannot have the slightest mistake. If I can help Qin Xiaoxue and make Woodhead—who is also one of my own close Pet Beasts—even stronger, I naturally wouldn't mind this small amount of Experience Points.

Therefore, without much hesitation, as soon as the prompt from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas appeared, he chose to confirm.

Qin Xiaoxue watched Su Ping intently stare at the parchment without saying a word, not daring to interrupt. However, when Su Ping actually closed his eyes a short while later, she was somewhat baffled.

In some stories, anime, and films, there are cases of Pet Beasts having sudden enlightenments during battle or gaining insights from studying Skills manuals. But damn it, I've never heard of anyone, any Breeder, having an enlightenment just from looking at a Breeder's manual, right?

Qin Xiaoxue didn't understand. Still, she refrained from interrupting and waited quietly.

Before long, Su Ping opened his eyes.

Qin Xiaoxue quickly asked, "How is it? Any discoveries? Do you have any other ideas about Woodhead's evolution?"

Without a doubt, I could swear on my life right now that I was just asking politely. After all, initiating a conversation with a boy is a first for me, Miss Qin, and quite a troublesome matter. So, this is really just a way to start a conversation.

And yet, to this simple attempt to make conversation, the darn kid in front of her met her gaze and actually nodded.

"Indeed there are some! The evolution of the Crown Wolf Emperor does have some hidden issues!"

"Ah? Oh... Oh, then tell me."

Qin Xiaoxue looked at Su Ping, her face filled with confusion.

Su Ping didn't seem to mind Miss Qin's usual eccentricities and nodded, pointing to the third and fourth stages of the evolution on the parchment.

"If I'm not mistaken, aside from strengthening the absolute control over natural forest power, one of the Crown Wolf Emperor's core evolutionary Skills should manifest after this stage—something akin to a Clone Skill, right?"

This much was undeniable. Qin Xiaoxue nodded. Since they were planning this evolution for Woodhead, she naturally had a good understanding of such Pet Beasts. Not only did she understand, she had even seen the true form of this evolutionary body with her own eyes. Although the Crown Wolf Emperor's evolutionary body was rare, procuring a lively one wasn't difficult for someone of Sang Sheng's status.

Naturally, Qin Xiaoxue knew that the Crown Wolf Emperor possessed a Clone Skill. Moreover, that Clone Skill was indeed one of the Crown Wolf Emperor's most wondrous Skills. However, thinking about that Skill's Ability, Qin Xiaoxue's mouth twitched slightly, as if she recalled something amusing.

She nodded.

Qin Xiaoxue also wanted to see what Su Ping had discerned in just this short period.

And sure enough, what he said next genuinely took Qin Xiaoxue completely by surprise.

"From my perspective, the Crown Wolf Emperor's clone originates from a basic projection Ability. However, the true clone shouldn't be a mere projection. Nourished by the Seed of Life, the solidified clone should be able to temporarily form a true flesh-and-blood copy of the Crown Wolf Emperor.

No, calling it flesh and blood might be an exaggeration. The growth of a Wood Element Pet Beast likely involves substituting plant fibers for a body. After undergoing changes from the Thorny Crown and Natural Essence, its body would also develop in a woody direction.

So, the Crown Wolf Emperor's clone is somewhat like a wood clone, then? Controllable, possessing most of the original's Abilities, and having extremely strong combat power—perhaps even indistinguishable from the main body?"

As soon as he said this, Qin Xiaoxue was truly shocked. Her eyes widened as she stared at Su Ping in astonishment.

"Have you looked up information on the Crown Wolf Emperor before?"

Su Ping shook his head. After all, I'm a genuine Breeder. I didn't get this far just by relying on some exploit. Now that I have the Crown Wolf Emperor's complete evolutionary cultivation path, analyzing its foundational cultivation principles to understand these things isn't a problem for me.

"Then tell me, what's wrong with the Crown Wolf Emperor?"
