[Su Ping: ??? What do you mean, shameless? You know the saying, 'A lean horse can have long fur and fat hooves,' and 'a son helping himself to his father's things isn't really stealing!' Besides, it wasn't stealing; I won it from you fair and square!]

[Su Anyong: Get lost! Quit your damn blabbering. What rank is Xiao Qing now?]

[Su Ping: Seventh Rank. He's currently using resources for rank advancement cultivation. I estimate he'll reach Eighth Rank in a few more days. Su Anyong, don't change the subject!]

[Su Anyong: Have you figured out which direction to evolve him?]

[Su Ping: Yeah, I've already started on it.]

[Su Anyong: Good.]

After this exchange, Su Ping didn't reply further, falling silent. That Super-Shadow is a lost cause anyway. Might as well let the old codger stew for a bit.

Su Ping knew that Su Anyong was also anxiously waiting for something. Father and son had engaged in these conversational battles of wills more than once, seeing who would crack first. Usually, in such competitions, it was Su Anyong who emerged victorious. But now, the initiative was in Su Ping's hands. Thus, Su Ping remained perfectly calm and composed, not flustered in the slightest.

Finally, after three minutes, Su Anyong couldn't hold back any longer.

[Su Anyong: Su Ping, what's the real deal with Old Sha?]

[Su Ping: What do you mean 'what's the real deal'? Oh right, Su Anyong, do you know how Old Sha got his Wolf King Majesty skill?]

[Su Anyong: How the hell would I know? Damn it, Old Sha is even a few years older than me! He's old enough to be a wolf that belonged to your eldest uncle! It's all you, you little whelp, dragging Old Sha around and putting him through all sorts of things every day!]

After pausing for a bit, Su Anyong's message came through once more:

[Su Anyong: However, back when Old Ghost was serving in the Northwest, his highest-ranking commanding officer primarily used a Wolf Pet. Old Sha was likely brought back from Ximo around that time.

In Ximo, there are primarily three threats to guard against. One is the Beast Tides of wind-and-sand type Elemental Sprites from the desert storms in the southwestern part of Xihai Province.

Another is the Ferocious Beast Tides within the desert, which includes all sorts of types. Decades ago, we also had to guard against the wolf packs on the Great Prairie of the Northwest.

Of course, that's not so much of a concern nowadays. Alright, enough idle talk! Hurry up, what's the deal with Old Sha's Super-Rank Skill?]

Su Ping didn't know much about Ximo and had no interest in it at the moment.

[Su Ping: Oh, you mean that?]

Then, Su Ping didn't reply.

Clearly, Su Ping was just trying to whet the old man's appetite.

He put down his phone, planning to reply after a while. However, the day had been packed. He had attended the Breeders' competition, witnessing countless diverse Breeders and their cultivation results. His mind had cycled through excitement, then numbness, and finally, profound exhaustion. Now, at last able to relax, drowsiness washed over him. He couldn't fight it and simply drifted off to sleep.

「Deep night in Beiyuan Province.」

Within his personal quarters in the Beiyuan Legion, Su Anyong had waited for the better part of the night, his eyes red raw from staying up. He glared with bloodshot eyes, still waiting.

Then, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and sent out the message:

[Su Ping, where are you?] (January 2, 225, 1:32)

[Seriously? What's the situation with that Super-Rank Skill?] (January 2, 225, 1:37)

[Hurry up, what exactly is the Heart of the Sun about?] (January 2, 225, 1:40)

[?] (January 2, 225, 1:57)

[??] (January 2, 225, 2:05)

[?????] (January 2, 225, 2:22)

[Fine, fine, fine!] (January 2, 225, 3:01)

[Su Ping, come on, answer the damn phone!] (January 2, 225, 3:26)

[Are you itching for a beating, you little brat?] (January 2, 225, 3:39)

[Alright! Fine! Just you wait till I get back!] (January 2, 225, 4:02)
