Chapter 1248 - 512: Gone Viral! The Booming Heart of Soul!

Chapter 1248: Chapter 512: Gone Viral! The Booming Heart of Soul!

"Fear Demon?"

Su Ping raised an eyebrow. As always, there were simply too many Pet Beasts in this world for him to know every single one.

When it came to the Undead Series, his knowledge was limited to the most common types.

He was relatively well-versed in Advanced Level ones, but the sheer number of Low Level Pet Beasts was overwhelming. There were countless evolutionary branches forming a chaotic, tangled web.

This Fear Demon was a prime example.

"That’s right, the Fear Demon. It’s a unique Pet Beast originating from Sakura Country and the Southeast Islands," Bai Cang said, his tone filled with a shared sense of pride. "Although the Dragon Nation has imported some, their numbers aren’t high. However, for the Heart of Myriad Spirits, getting our hands on them wasn’t difficult at all."

However, he quickly caught Su Ping’s implication. Having spent quite some time with Su Ping, he had come to understand his thought processes, so he quickly continued.

"The Fear Demon is a Psychic Element Undead Pet Beast. It maxes out at the Elite Level. It is a physical Undead Pet Beast, but its main ability is very weak. It can only generate Fear Energy and lacks any actual lethal power. Due to its low potential, no Beastmaster has ever bothered to deeply research or pursue its Breeding over the years."

Su Ping nodded, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Back in the Imperial Capital, when he was researching the Dream-Entering Skill, he had considered the many extensions of the Dream World.

He had theorized terrifying applications, such as using the Spiritual Frequency of the Dream-Entering Skill to kill someone within the Dream World and having that lethal outcome reflect in reality.

At that time, the only answer Su Ping had arrived at was relying on the Power of fear.

However, these theories remained just that—theories. Without substantial progress, they were meaningless. Even his Dream-Entering Skill hadn’t improved after all this time, let alone anything else.

Now, this so-called Fear Demon had reawakened Su Ping’s Memory regarding this exact topic.

Once Old Liu finished his recent workload and the Breeding of the Dream Butterfly reached a certain stage, Su Ping could finally put some effort into this area.

Of course, his top priority right now was not the Dream Butterfly. After a little preparation, Su Ping needed to begin Qian Yi’s Breeding.

Qian Yi was stuck at its race limit and couldn’t advance much further.

Although the little guy’s combat prowess remained unmatched, its Realm was its biggest gap and restraint. At this rate, the disparity between it and Xiao Qing would only continue to widen.

Su Ping knew exactly how anxious the little guy was.

Furthermore, Su Ping’s own Realm was advancing too rapidly.

The Heavenly Tomb had a restriction: no one above the Monarch Level could enter.

Although the Celestial Tomb Mark didn’t have much of an impact on him at present, he genuinely wanted to go inside. He wanted to see exactly what kind of tricks Charles and the Heavenly Tomb were playing.

Besides, the Monarch Level Breeding for the Papermen was mostly complete.

Once Qian Yi finished helping with the Breeding of the Great Revolution Five Elements Physique, the Papermen belonging to the Heavenly Tomb’s Special Beast Taming Forces would have to return to Beiyuan Province.

However, Su Ping hadn’t contacted Beiyuan recently. Rumor had it that the Undead Beast Tide over there had been raging for over a month with no signs of stopping.

Thinking of this, Su Ping shook his head. For now, the Evolution of ordinary Papermen had shown promising leads. Although Qian Yi was unique, Su Ping could still deduce a path forward using the same principles.

He was quite confident in that regard.

After all, Qian Yi’s potential was absolutely immense.

With that thought, Su Ping stood up.

"Alright, keep a close eye on things. Remember the most important point: keep these deployed Undead Pet Beasts under strict control. There must be zero accidents regarding personal safety! Ensure the medical team is on standby at all times."

"Rest assured, sir. The player wristbands have a simulated shriek of a Shadow Charm Spirit installed as a failsafe. If any danger arises, it will trigger automatically."

Su Ping nodded and turned to leave.

The Heart of Soul had gone viral.

It wasn’t just a local sensation in Jianghai. As discussions grew more heated, minor leaks of its content—and most importantly, its luxurious rewards—drew the attention of many young Beastmasters from neighboring provinces, who closely monitored the progression within the Heart of Soul.

However, not many could actually make the trip.

On the Blue Star, flying was a genuine luxury. The average family couldn’t afford a cross-provincial flight to Jianghai just to experience the Heart of Soul.

But within Linzhou, and especially at the newly opened Jianghai College, it had undoubtedly sparked massive excitement.

This was particularly true for the Undead Series department.

In just a few short days, Su Ping had received multiple complaints from Qin Erlong.

The dean of the Undead Series had even taken his grievances directly to him, complaining that attendance for regular classes, extracurricular Secret Realms, and Skill training sessions had plummeted.

Even when students did show up to class, many spent the entire time discussing various clues.

The moment they had free time, these Undead Series students would sprint straight to the Heart of Soul.

They didn’t act like students at all!

Su Ping felt utterly helpless about the situation. He subsequently made a phone call and promised one thing.

His very first lecture would be hosted at the Undead Series department. He would focus on Breeding techniques for Undead Pet Beasts, as well as his trials and processes before and after discovering the Paperman’s Evolution.

By deploying such an Ultimate Ability, the highly dissatisfied Undead Series dean naturally had no more complaints. Not only did he stop complaining, but later that very day, he even released a major announcement within the department.

Whichever student from the Undead Series college could clear the Heart of Soul the fastest would receive an extra 300 academic credits as a reward!

The moment this news broke, it shocked even netizens from other provinces.

Some argued that Jianghai College was willing to sell out its own students just to curry favor with the Heart of Myriad Spirits and Su Ping.

Others defended it as learning through play. They argued that exploring the Undead Series elements within the Heart of Soul would be beneficial for the future of Undead Series Beastmasters, and that Pet Beast Breeding in this new era shouldn’t be bound by convention anyway.

The two sides bickered endlessly, exchanging insults back and forth.

Yet, the more they argued, the higher the popularity of the Heart of Soul soared.

Conversely, the locals in Linzhou paid little attention to these online debates.

It was a no-brainer! To them, the Heart of Soul represented tangible resources and academic credits. Even those who weren’t Jianghai College students had their curiosity and passion ignited, vowing to clear the attraction and unlock its hidden endings within seven days.

That’s right—the existence of hidden endings had been subtly leaked by ’interns’ working at the Heart of Myriad Spirits. These leaks also confirmed that those endings came with hidden rewards.

Under these circumstances, the massive Heart of Soul had guests lining up day and night.

In just a few days, ticket sales had raked in around two hundred thousand.

Of course, this ticket revenue seemed trivial, almost like taking a loss just to generate hype.

But in reality, that wasn’t how the math worked. The Heart of Myriad Spirits had incredibly comprehensive supporting facilities. Spending time in one attraction naturally drove consumption in numerous other areas.

Over this period, coinciding with the official opening of Jianghai College, the foot traffic and general spending had skyrocketed. Profits from the biggest money-makers—the Heart of Cloud, the Heart of Water, and the core Heart of Woods—had multiplied several times over.

Moreover, ticket prices for the Heart of Soul would either drop or drastically increase in the future, depending on updates to its ’storyline events.’

The current setup was merely dipping their toes in the water.

However, the clamor outside the Heart of Soul couldn’t penetrate the Breeding rooms located in its inner core layer.

This had been taken into account during the initial design phase, ensuring that the two areas remained completely undisturbed by one another.

This was true not just for the Heart of Soul, but for the entire Heart of Myriad Spirits.

Although Su Ping was physically inside the Heart of Myriad Spirits, the outside noise and foot traffic had virtually no impact on his daily life.

As time passed, the decoding of the Heart of Soul progressed methodically.

Finally, the highly anticipated first closer—the very first person to clear the attraction—emerged.

On that very day, Su Ping had just received the news. He was about to head over and see this first victor, who had finally emerged after a grueling five days.

But to his surprise, another matter that had also been dragging on for several days finally yielded some promising news.

It was none other than Meng Yao’s ship, the Wave Breaking. Out on West Dragon Lake, they had finally found a reliable set of coordinates with a suitable distance and location...

...to station the Wind Heart Island!
