Therefore, when he returned to the backstage resting room, Leng Ye's call had already come in, discussing reducing public discourse, and Su Ping readily agreed.

Now that he had earned both ranking and profit, who cared about face? Whoever wanted it could use it. Anyway, Su Ping didn't care much.

He only cared about one thing now. There were, of course, the trophy and the previously promised rewards, such as the Breeder Association's Points and various treatment benefits. However, the top prize of this Breeder Competition also included additional rewards!

These additional rewards were nothing short of lavish: two Cultivation Methods to be chosen at will, housed within the Breeder Association. These could pertain to a Pet Beast's Evolution or the attainment of specific Skills. Next, a Spiritual Level Resource, also to be chosen at will. And finally, a Soul Fruit.

It went without saying how precious the two optional Cultivation Methods were, saving a great deal of Points that would otherwise be needed for exchange.

The entire knowledge base of the Breeder Association was virtually open to them. However, since this was a joint win for the three of them, they decided it would be better to discuss it thoroughly upon their return before making the exchanges.

What a Spiritual Level Resource represented need not be overemphasized. In the eyes of many outsiders, this resource was the most precious prize of this Breeder Competition. A Spiritual Level Resource! This was not something money could buy.

Su Ping still remembered seeing the exchange value for the Sword Intent Origin in the Legion's backstage area.

Back then, such a Spiritual Level Resource was beyond his imagination. But now, even though he was allowed to choose one, Su Ping temporarily had no specific preference.

What really garnered all of Su Ping's attention was the Soul Fruit.

This item was given together with the trophy on the spot, and its high value needed no further mention.

It enhanced the Talents of the individual, somewhat similar to the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas's effect of lighting up and upgrading other Catalogs.

But the specifics of the effect were unknown. Moreover, which Talent would it enhance?

With the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping's number of Talents was more than a little above the average person.

Eye of Truth, Telepathic Communication (Psychic Communication), Fast Recovery, Rain Summoning Technique, Elementalization, as well as his accompanying 'Pet Beast Home.'

If Su Ping had to choose, he would naturally lean towards the Eye of Truth. However, it wasn't up to him to decide just by saying so.

The fruit was only the size of a lychee, its surface covered in lines of strange patterns that could make one's eyes dazzle with a single glance.

Liu Fuhai and Sun Chaoju glanced at it. The former remained unmoved, while the latter seemed envious but didn't make any pointless remarks.

These things were all rightfully Su Ping's. For Sun Chaoju, just tagging along to gain some fame was already a stroke of incredible luck.

The top three stepped onto the award platform.

The two hosts, smiling at the cameras zooming from near to far, announced, "Dear audience friends, with the final award ceremony concluded, the 225th New Year's Breeder Competition officially comes to an end. We want to thank every Breeder who presented a marvelous creation. Without them, Dragon Nation's Pet Beast industry wouldn't be flourishing, and the innovation and strengthening of Pet Beasts would be much slower.

"We also want to thank all the viewers. Let's meet again next year!"

The screen froze, then flashed through the production credits, contestant lists, participating members, and the judges' identities, before finally fading to black.

It marked the end of this Breeder Competition.

Some were happy, some were sorrowful, but Su Ping was definitely one of the happy ones.

Leaving contentedly through the rear door of the Breeder Competition venue, Su Ping waved at Liu Fuhai and Sun Chaoju, "Sang Sheng asked me to go to the academy, so I won't return with you guys. After I'm back in Linzhou in a day or two, let's celebrate together!"

Hearing Sang Sheng had summoned him, Liu Fuhai and Sun Chaoju naturally had no objections.

However, as Su Ping boarded the bus waiting for him, he paused slightly. Aside from the driver, there were others on board: none other than the ever-smiling Ye Zhou and Professor Wang from Magic Capital Academy.

"Su Ping, come and sit," Ye Zhou beckoned with his hand, gesturing for Su Ping to join him in the last row.

Everyone cast a complex glance at Old Sha, who had re-boarded the bus and put on his Psychic Interference Device. Then, their gazes returned to the young Breeder who had just triumphantly proven his dominance.

However, Ye Zhou clearly had a different purpose at this moment.

He casually praised Su Ping for a few sentences, then suddenly asked, "Su Ping, have you had any thoughts about that research direction you had before?"

Previous research direction? Su Ping was startled, then realized Ye Zhou was referring to Pet Beast regression.

He shook his head. This matter couldn't be rushed for now.

But he could tell Ye Zhou was very interested in this area.

What Su Ping didn't expect was that, after a pause, Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "As for regression, I have some hypotheses."

This man seemed to be more than just interested.

While they were only hypotheses, in the field of Pet Beast Cultivation, having a hypothesis was invaluable. After all, researching the essence of Pet Beasts is a process of continuous conjecture and then verifying those conjectures.

Although Su Ping wouldn't have time to focus on this in the coming days, discussing it while still in Magic Capital wasn't a problem.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Su Ping gave him a look and then said thoughtfully, "Let's talk in detail after we return to the academy."
