The matter in the Magic Capital resolved, upon returning to Linzhou, it seems necessary to have a serious inquiry with the Zhang Family brothers about this Secret Realm. Of course, there is an even more important matter at hand right now, which is to finish reading the content of this notebook.
However, Su Ping estimated from the title of the notebook that it should indeed be about the issue of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, and then the cycling of Energy of the Five Elements. Just as Su Ping was returning to the dormitory with Old Sha, who had been bored waiting downstairs, a message suddenly came through on his phone.
The sender of the message caused Su Ping to be slightly startled. It was none other than Liu Fuhai, who hadn't contacted him again since his arrival in the Magic Capital a few days ago:
"Xiao Ping, it's only been a few days since you arrived in the Magic Capital, and you've already stirred up such a big fuss behind my back?"
「In the dean's office.」
The woman returned to her office feeling frustrated and anxious. The Linhai Secret Realm's repairs weren't completely finished, and now there were more visitors?
Alas, she could ignore other visitors. She didn't even need to bother with a personal reception, even when the branch president for the southeastern region came to visit. However, Zhu Hong was obviously different; after all, she had just paid him a visit a few days prior for some private matters. Now that he had come to her territory, it would be unacceptable not to offer some hospitality.
Yet, surely enough, just as she entered the office, a figure hastily stood up.
"Dean, has Xiao Xue's evolution been completed?"
It was none other than Li Zhi.
The woman gave him a glance and asked, "If you're so concerned, why did you run off this morning?"
Li Zhi's face turned red.
Earlier, he had left because he heard it was Master Zhu Hong's guidance. Knowing that the Breeder Association was having their morning meeting, he had wanted to join in and build a relationship with Master Zhu. It turned out he didn't manage to forge any connection, but he did receive this piece of news.
The woman sat down and then said, "Don't worry, it's already completed. Moreover, Woodhead directly mastered the basic use of duplication during the third phase of its evolution. Perhaps it can begin the final evolution as early as tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi finally relaxed and then said helplessly, "Dean, about what Xiao Xue said before—the cultivation for the Crown Wolf Emperor's evolution—who is the expert you've invited for this task?"
The woman glanced at Li Zhi but didn't pay him much attention, instead turning her eyes toward the two people beside her. Zhu Hong still maintained his usual calm and cold demeanor. After a look at Zhu Hong, her gaze settled primarily on the other figure beside him, none other than Liu Fuhai. She said, "Vice President Liu, thank you for your mediation in the matter with Xiao Chuan in Linzhou."
Liu Fuhai glanced at Lord Sang Sheng and just shook his head, saying, "It's unrelated to me; it was Su Ping who didn't hold a grudge. Besides, the one from the north primarily showed consideration for your sake!"
The woman calmly replied, "Regardless, it's my failure in his upbringing."
Liu Fuhai neither agreed nor disagreed.
The woman didn't say anything more and turned back to Zhu Hong. "Master Zhu," she asked, "what brings you here this time?"
She and Zhu Hong hadn't met many times and didn't have much of a personal relationship. However, they were both part of Dragon Nation's elite circles. So, even if they hadn't met often, their relations naturally grew closer, and they were considered to be from the same faction.
Zhu Hong smiled faintly and said, "No rush, we can talk about it when there's time. I'm here now to see that Genius Breeder you mentioned last time. I want to see for myself what kind of young fellow can have such incisive insight and confident techniques pertaining to Clone Skill Technique."
The woman nodded. She knew this was not the time to go into details.
Speaking of Su Ping, although the young man had just caused her significant trouble, she couldn't help but feel very pleased with him. Subconsciously, a smile touched the corners of her mouth as she said, "This young fellow, without any exaggeration, is the most talented Beast Tamer and Breeder I've ever seen in my life!"
"Oh?!"
Master Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly. This praise was frighteningly high, wasn't it? Could someone be more talented than the current prodigy?
Liu Fuhai, on the other hand, agreed with Lord Sang Sheng's judgment.
Indeed, worthy of being the Dean of Magic Capital Academy; she certainly had such insights. Su Ping had refreshed his understanding over and over again in the past six months. Now, at less than twenty years old, the results he had achieved were astonishing. He had cultivated the Heart of Woods, meeting the requirements of an Intermediate Level specialized Breeder, and created a new Evolutionary Body, meeting the standards of an Advanced Level specialized Breeder. As a result, a Super-Rank Skill had been directly conjured on such a deeply cultivated Pet Beast! Unlike ordinary Breeders, who would follow a specialized Breeder path and then slowly broaden their breeding lines and types, this little guy was different. He had taken a huge leap beyond just one specialization. Geniuses were never bound by rules and regulations.
However, what Liu Fuhai could not understand was that while he would wholeheartedly accept and believe Su Ping was an extremely talented Breeder, a genius Beast Tamer? He had never really seen the strength of Su Ping's Soul Contracted Beasts. He had only heard about a mutant Forest Wolf and a Paperman—a disgrace of the Necromancy Series. The latter wasn't worth mentioning, but the former, it seemed, hadn't yet completed its Breeding Evolution, right? What kind of strength could it possibly have?
Liu Fuhai was puzzled, while beside him, Li Zhi was utterly befuddled. What in the world was going on? It seemed that Master Zhu Hong and Lord Sang Sheng had known the answer all along? And judging by Liu Fuhai's behavior, he too was in the know. The question was, why the hell was he, the Breeder of the Crown Wolf Emperor, the last to find out? It was like his wife had cheated on him; all the relatives and friends around him knew, even his own children knew, but he, the husband, was the last to be kept in the dark!
Li Zhi was filled with grief and indignation.
Fortunately, the woman glanced at him before speaking, "You know Su Ping, right? The temporary student who reached the fifteenth wave in the Elite Trial Tower a few days ago?"
Li Zhi's eyes widened as his grief deepened at that moment.
Damn it, he would have been better off not knowing! Now, the 'other man' in his 'wife's affair' wasn't a tall, rich, and handsome guy like Master Zhu Hong, but some little brat he'd never heard of? However, clearly, no one there cared about his thoughts.
Liu Fuhai chuckled, saying, "Just as I thought. When Master Zhu Hong mentioned it, I knew it must have been this little guy's doing!"
"Oh?" Zhu Hong glanced at Liu Fuhai and asked, "Master Liu knows this little guy?"
"Not to hide it from you," Liu Fuhai said, "the project Jianghai Province is entering in the Breeder competition is one that Su Ping developed. He holds absolute research dominance in it."
"Hmm?" Zhu Hong was truly shocked this time.
However, his professionalism remained intact; he didn't continue to inquire about the specific project they would participate in. After all, he would find out in due time.
Lord Sang Sheng, who was beside them, did not interrupt Liu Fuhai's proud boasting. Yet, in her heart, she knew better than anyone. Even if that Wanmu Wolf was astonishing, and even if the Super-Rank Skill of the Heart of the Sun was formidable, they still didn't amount to much compared to what Su Ping claimed: the epoch-making discovery of the Paperman's foundational evolution. No matter what, these achievements were already enough!
And just then, Liu Fuhai gave it some thought and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't chatted with this little guy for a while. It might be good to ask Su Ping how he did it!"
Master Zhu Hong also nodded, remarking, "His control and perfection of this Clone Skill Technique is very significant!"
So, after receiving this affirmation, Liu Fuhai sent that message to Su Ping: "Xiao Ping, you've only been in the Magic Capital for a few days, and you've already caused such a big commotion behind my back?"
"What big commotion?" Su Ping's reply came back even quicker than Liu Fuhai had imagined. The illusory phone projected a blue light screen in front of everyone, and Su Ping's question was already displayed.
"What else but the cultivation of the Crown Wolf Emperor?" Liu Fuhai sent with a smile.
However, Su Ping's reply was still swift, but it left everyone present unable to react:
"???"
"This counts as a big commotion???"
Liu Fuhai blinked. He looked at Master Zhu Hong, who was also slow to react, and then at his old friend, whose eyes seemed about to pop out. He smacked his lips. Damn it, caught off guard again; this kid had managed to show off once more.
