"Secondly, bloodline genetics is an extremely complex field of Pet Beast bioengineering. The knowledge involved isn't something that can be figured out with a mere snap decision. To succeed, one needs to know the ultimate source of the bloodline regression and have a profound understanding of the original Pet Beast!"

Ye Zhou listened very seriously and nodded.

He also felt somewhat bewildered. Clearly, even if the person before him was incredibly strong, and even if both he and Su Ping were prodigies who had participated in the Breeder competition at a young age—Ye Zhou having even surpassed Beast Tamers of the same rank at Magic Capital Academy—they were ultimately still just young men.

In this respect, they had some creative ideas, but it was very, very difficult to know where to begin.

However, Su Ping smiled faintly and said, "Your idea is interesting, but I probably won't have the leisure to research this in the near future. However, if you encounter any trouble, you can ask me. In my free time, I can help you! Therefore, I suggest you first find a Pet Beast that has a clear case of regressive evolution. Then, trace its bloodline and search for its source through archaeological history. After that, you can focus your efforts on such a Pet Beast."

Ye Zhou blinked. His eyes firm with resolve, he nodded. After regaining his composure, he said, "Good! As for what you mentioned about Pet Beasts' strength regressing after Evolution in this sort of post-modern era, I also have some ideas, though I just haven't tried them out yet."

"Oh?"

Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Actually, the principle is quite simple. Evolution isn't just the morphological changes brought about by an increase in one's own Energy; it's also a transformation of the soul..."

...

At the dinner table, Sang Sheng and Qin Xiaoxue spoke up repeatedly. While Qin Chuan didn't say anything, he kept looking at Su Ping.

However, Su Ping had found his mind wandering many times in just that short while.

The others didn't mind, and they certainly didn't blame Su Ping.

After all, the events of this one day had indeed been overwhelming for someone Su Ping's age.

Because of this single day, many people would likely remember Su Ping.

Only, they clearly didn't know that Su Ping wasn't actually concerned about such trivial matters at this moment; he was purely contemplating what Ye Zhou had said to him earlier.

Su Ping had never underestimated anyone else.

But it had to be said that after arriving at Magic Capital Academy, the Paperman Qian Yi had effortlessly broken the Elite Level record Ye Zhou had set in the Trial Tower.

He didn't say it outright, but in his heart, he felt quite proud and self-satisfied.

However, after further contact with Ye Zhou and their chat about Evolution and regression, Su Ping also understood that Dragon Nation was not lacking in true geniuses like Ye Zhou.

Such conversations were beneficial to them both.

For Su Ping especially, it was tantamount to opening up a completely new path.

It was just a pity that the so-called soul of Pet Beasts was a completely unknown field.

Perhaps, when he had time and met Leng Ye again, he could inquire with Ghost Saint—the one unparalleled in Dragon Nation in the domain of souls.

"Su Ping, when are you planning to return to Linzhou?"

Sang Sheng's question brought Su Ping back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he replied directly, "In a couple of days, preferably tomorrow or the day after. I've been out for more than half a month now. Haha, there must be quite a few things at home waiting for me."

Sang Sheng smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, there are quite a few matters. Although the news and public opinion on the internet have been suppressed, as long as you don't stir up anything new, the attention will die down. But in Linzhou, it probably won't be that simple. I expect there will still be quite a few people coming to your door."

Qin Xiaoxue, at the side, pursed her lips. "You're not short of money now. If you ask me, that cultivation base might as well just stop operating."

Dong Muyun would never say such a thing.

Su Ping, however, didn't mind Miss Qin's thoughtless remarks.

Besides, operating Heart of Woods didn't really affect him much at this point anyway.

Yet before Su Ping could speak, Qin Chuan, who was beside them, interjected, "How can a man not have a career he loves? Whether it's the cultivation industry, the business industry..."

Qin Chuan hadn't finished speaking when he saw his mother looking at him with a smile. He instantly stiffened, like a mouse seeing a cat, and after a couple of mumbles, he managed to say, "Um... and the education industry..."

Qin Xiaoxue pursed her lips, not bothering to acknowledge her father's twisted logic.

Seeing that no one was paying him any mind, Qin Chuan couldn't be bothered to say more and refocused his attention on the dull dinner before him.

Su Ping paid no mind to this perpetually discontented man and said with a smile, "Heart of Woods is my grandfather's painstaking effort. He has always wanted to see it flourish."

Qin Xiaoxue nodded and didn't pursue that topic of conversation further.

However, Sang Sheng suddenly smiled and said, "Right, Su Ping, your grandfather also had a military career back then, didn't he?"

Su Ping was taken aback, then nodded. "It seems so. I think I heard my dad mention it once."

"Hehe, back when Ghost Saint was young, he also experienced defending the frontier in Ximo with a certain esteemed figure."

Su Ping was startled. However, Sang Sheng didn't elaborate on this topic, changing the subject instead. "You've been away for quite a while now; it's good to return early. Actually, I'll have Ah Qin take you and Master Zhu Hong to Linzhou tomorrow. Master Zhu Hong's visit to Linzhou is an opportunity for you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask for his advice. It will always be beneficial for you."
