Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 654: Chapter 301: Perfection! The True Body of Fire Phoenix? The Needs of Little Flame!_2

After all this time, these 1,200 Experience Points were exactly the right amount. This time, Su Ping felt no sting of regret at their depletion. After the Forest Wolf Catalog reached Level 4, it seemed the use of Experience Points was less significant for further upgrades. To progress to Level 5, what was required were no less than ten Evolutionary Body branch lines. Of course, Experience Points could substitute, but it clearly wasn’t worth it. Thus, using these Experience Points to perfect a single evolutionary path was a highly profitable move from any perspective. In an instant, the Experience Points were expended like flowing water. And upon the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the Evolution Law for this Thorn Wolf was also fully perfected.

The first step was the selection of the wolf species. Before perfection, it was necessary to see if the Forest Wolf felt a connection to the Iron Thorn Tree. But after perfection, the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas indicated a change. An Elite Level resource called ’Serrated Grass’ could now be directly used with several common resources to complete the process. This also accelerated the first step. Subsequently, the five Commander Level resources necessary for the next phase were fully optimized, now requiring only a single, specific Commander Level resource. This greatly optimized both the cost and time involved.

The Thorn Wolf had scored 305 points at the previous Cultivation Competition. This score was not high, especially considering that at the time, Ye Zhou and Magic Capital Academy had presented Time Water, a Magic Potion developed through research, which had scored 315 points. For a Cultivation Competition, achieving seventh place with such a score already indicated that the quality of that year’s competition wasn’t particularly high. However, after Su Ping’s improvements, if he were to present it at a Cultivation Competition again, he was confident it could rank in the top five, with scores potentially reaching 340-360 points. The primary reason was that although the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas had perfected the evolution, the Thorn Wolf’s inherent potential had a ceiling. An Elite Level species evolving to the Commander Level was considered a Low-level evolution path.

Shaking his head, Su Ping committed the perfected evolution of the Thorn Wolf to memory, then set it aside. For the time being, I have no intention of giving it to Zhao Lintian for nothing. Our exchange was meant to be fair. Moreover, if Zhao Qingqing is impressive and manages to stay at the Heart of Myriad Spirits and become my student, then Zhao Lintian will have made the better deal. Besides, it only took me a few hours to fully perfect the Evolutionary Body that they researched for years. Although I don’t need to mind the opinions of others now, doing so would be undeniably too conspicuous.

The night was silent as Su Ping slowly sunk his consciousness back into the Beast Taming Space. The space remained as before. Besides its Space Absorption trait, four great traits—All Things Breeding, the ecological cycle, the Fire Cultivation Realm, and Dishui Chenghai—defined Su Ping’s current Beast Taming Space. Within it were a pool, a patch of red soil, and scattered resources appearing on a grassland. His two main Pet Beasts were resting there. As for Feifei, it never stayed in the Beast Taming Space, preferring Su Ping’s backpack instead—being in the Beast Taming Space would block its spirit signal connection to his phone. Beyond these, the first thing Su Ping noticed again in the space was undeniably the Little Flame.

A few days ago, for some unknown reason, the Biyao Chunshen had awakened the consciousness of this Little Flame, which had since become fully alert. Even Su Ping’s Eye of Truth could now see its information:

[Mutated True Spirit Flame (Wild)]

[Attribute: Fire]

[Current Level: Ordinary First Rank]

[Racial Potential: ????]

[Skills: Burning (Beginner), Elemental Body (Beginner)]

True Spirit Fire. It also had another name: Fire Elemental Spirit juvenile. Different names, different ways of calling it, but essentially, they were the same thing. This was because as this entity continued to grow, it could transform its form and become what was known as a ’Fire Elemental Spirit.’ Similar to the Gold Elemental Elf that Feifei had kindled, Fire Elemental Spirits were considered relatively numerous among the Elemental Pet Beasts of the various Elemental Sprite types. Not to mention, the Blue Flame Heart Demon that was once under Leng Ye’s command had evolved from such an entity.

However, from any angle, this was no ordinary True Spirit Fire, nor one of those most basic juvenile fire elemental lifeforms. Indeed, this is the first time I’ve seen a Pet Beast’s Racial Potential marked with ’????’ in the Eye of Truth. Su Ping had already learned from prior events that this creature’s Racial Potential should have reached the Legendary Level. Perhaps the reason its potential isn’t displaying is largely due to my own low Realm?

Although the flame seemed to have an indescribable repulsion and aversion to humans, Su Ping maintained a friendly and kind attitude towards the little fellow.

“Good to see you again, little guy!”

“HISS HISS HISS!” The Flame Bird, formed from the Little Flame, made a series of sounds. Clearly, it was extremely wary of Su Ping’s reappearance.

Su Ping didn’t mind. He quickly concentrated his spiritual power, forming a Flame Fruit in the hand of his conscious projection within the Beast Taming Space.

As expected, upon the formation of this supremely pure Flame Energy, the eyes of the bird that the Little Flame had transformed into were fixated, unable to look away.
