Liu Fuhai naturally looked toward Su Ping, clearly expecting him to answer the question himself.
As for Sun Chaoju standing beside him, Liu Fuhai had given up hope.
His student has some nerve when showing off in front of others, always blustering, but in situations like this, he's as stiff as a board.
Su Ping gave a slight smile. "I'm nominally eighteen. Of course, by this New Year's, I'll be nominally nineteen!"
Both hosts' eyes lit up.
Eighteen, nineteen?
"So, does that mean Breeder Su only awakened half a year ago?" one host asked.
"That's correct," Su Ping nodded.
"Did Breeder Su have some exposure to Pet Beast Cultivation before awakening?"
After thinking for a moment, Su Ping nodded again. "You could say that. My family runs a Pet Beast Breeding Base in Linzhou. Growing up, although I never personally tried it, I was constantly exposed to it."
The two hosts nodded; that seemed to ease things slightly.
The watching audience also let out a collective sigh of relief.
With this information, it seemed a bit more understandable.
Though still an unbelievably hard-to-accept genius, at least there was some groundwork laid?
But at this moment, only Su Anyong, in Beiyuan Province, felt his old face flush with embarrassment for the first time, especially under Leng Ye's disdainful gaze.
Constantly exposed to it?
Exposed to what?
To watching Su Anyong, this bumpkin, squander the meager inheritance Su Zhongguang had left behind?
To watching Su Anyong, who couldn't even manage Pet Beast Skill Cultivation, let alone ordinary Pet Beast fostering? He couldn't even properly look after a Forest Wolf boarded at their home, nearly causing the client's Forest Wolf—thinking it had been abandoned by its master—to fall into such despair that it almost committed suicide by ramming a tree?
Only they knew that while Su Ping's success to this day might indeed have a slight familial element, the primary reason was his own personal Ability.
"Truly remarkable! Su Ping, are you from Linzhou? That makes us fellow townspeople, doesn't it? Which school did you graduate from? Do you have a girlfriend?" Host Lu, clearly very curious about Su Ping now, asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Her co-host shot her a sidelong glance.
Is this the time to ask such things? While it might liven up the atmosphere, many Breeders are watching, and Master Zhu Hong is here too!
Fortunately, unlike her co-host, Su Ping understood the propriety of the situation.
"That's personal privacy, I'm sorry, but I'd rather not disclose that. Do you two have any further questions about the Wanmu Wolf?"
Host Lu felt slightly embarrassed.
It was her male co-host who then asked, "What kind of Pet Beast is the Wanmu Wolf? I am familiar with the Forest Wolf. In what aspects has the Wanmu Wolf's Evolution diverged from it?"
Su Ping had actually wanted Sun Chaoju to speak. However, seeing Sun Chaoju looking down, utterly silent, and with Vice President Liu also not interjecting, Su Ping simply continued, "It's also a further enhancement in the Wood Element direction. However, the Wanmu Wolf is different from all other Evolutionary Bodies—I can guarantee that!"
"Oh? In that case, I, along with the esteemed judges and our national audience, will eagerly await it!"
The two hosts smoothly exited, shifting the camera's focus entirely onto the three of them.
Everyone's gaze also focused on them.
The Breeder's background, a young, talented Breeder—these were indeed engaging topics and a good hook.
However, in the Cultivation competition, the Breeder's identity would not ultimately affect the score.
What truly needed to be assessed was the quality of the Evolutionary Body itself!
That was the ultimate deciding factor.
Zhu Hong regarded the three with keen interest. He had become quite familiar with Liu Fuhai and Su Ping over the past few days due to his earlier trip to the Magic Capital Academy. However, even with this familiarity, he wouldn't show the slightest favoritism. Even if Sang Sheng had implied that Su Ping's relationship with her was significant, in his own area of expertise, Zhu Hong would not tolerate any impropriety.
So, what could this young fellow possibly present that would satisfy him?
This young lad, with this brand-new Forest Wolf Evolutionary Body that didn't seem to have any obvious differences from previous ones—why was he so brimming with confidence?
Zhu Hong was very curious and expectant, although, for him, what truly held his interest was highly unlikely to appear at this Breeder convention.
Meeting the gazes of all the judges present, Liu Fuhai remained silent, once again ceding the spotlight entirely to Su Ping.
"The Wanmu Wolf is a special Evolutionary Body cultivated from the Forest Wolf. It is an Evolutionary Body with Monarch Level potential. Its Race limit corresponds to three Cultivation tiers:
The highest tier: after Evolution, the Race limit is roughly Monarch Seventh Stage to Monarch Ninth Rank.
The intermediate tier: Monarch Fourth Order to Monarch Sixth Order.
The initial tier: the Race limit is Monarch First Stage to Monarch Third Order."
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, many of the judges present were slightly stunned.
A Pet Beast Evolutionary Body that could have Cultivation tiers? Although it was merely three Minor Realms within the same Great Realm, the variations were already considerable. Moreover, it would make the Cultivation choices for Beast Tamers much more flexible and varied.
Just this division of the Evolutionary Body into three tiers could allow the difficulty score to reach a considerably good result.
