CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 156: LIGHTNING FLASHES! QIAN YI EVOLVES!_2

"What a pity."

Mu Yu nodded. "Researching the Paperman is destined to be a waste of energy and time. Didn’t I leave a note here at the Breeder Association back then? Hmm, didn’t Liu Fuhai show it to this kid?"

Mu Hang nodded. "Of course he has seen it, but Su Ping probably has his own thoughts..."

"Right, a genius after all..." Mu Yu mused.

The group of four chatted as they walked into the main hall of the Breeder Association.

「Meanwhile, in the office of Liu Fuhai.」

Old Liu looked rather oddly at Su Ping before him. "You’re saying you’ve come today to have your mutated Paperman complete its evolution? Are you sure?"

Are *you* sure? Whether Su Ping was sure or not, Old Liu didn’t know. But Old Liu was genuinely uncertain.

As an Advanced Level Wolf Pet Breeder, he had experience assisting various mutated Wolf Pets in researching their evolutionary paths. The difficulty was exceptionally high, completely different from the evolution of other Pet Beast types. Under such circumstances, it was normal for the evolution to take three to five years. Old Liu wouldn’t blindly trust Su Ping just because of the Wanmu Wolf’s successful evolution. After all, although the Wanmu Wolf’s evolution was incomplete, there were aspects that could serve as references.

However, the evolution of a mutated Pet Beast was a complex process. It required finding the evolutionary direction, clarifying the path, determining the details, and meeting all necessary conditions. If it were that simple, mutated Pet Beasts wouldn’t be so rare, nor would they be synonymous with high risk and high reward.

Now, after three months, Su Ping had come to tell him to help his mutated Paperman complete its evolution?

In truth, Su Ping, seeing Old Liu’s startled face, was still struggling with whether to tell him about the Paperman’s discovery. But looking at him, he was really afraid that Old Liu’s little heart couldn’t take it.

And it had to be said, the matter concerning regular Papermen was significant. Su Ping was also unsure about it. The matter of cultivation for the Special Beast Taming Forces, which Zhao Deguang had mentioned to him, was still lingering in his mind. If possible, I should make it public after I’ve finished that matter, Su Ping thought. It wouldn’t be too late then.

Could others discern clues from my little paper figure? Possible, but difficult. Firstly, the little paper figure was a mutation; mutated Pet Beasts were inherently different from regular Pet Beasts. Secondly, even if someone possessed a talent similar to the Eye of Truth, it was not an ability to be wielded casually. If the Pet Beast itself resisted, others could not spy on it. In this case, even if someone spied, they would only see the little paper figure itself. After all, ordinarily, no one would examine the sword held by a Paperman. To most people, that was just a part of the Paperman.

After receiving an affirmative response from Su Ping, Old Liu pursed his lips and then nodded. "A Beast Tamer specialized in Sword-type Pet Beasts, or other similar humanoid Swordsman Pet Beasts? And preferably one that can strike without reservation? Let me think..."

Old Liu stroked his chin and quickly thought of something. "Your Pet Beast’s battles... it doesn’t matter if it wins or loses, right?"

Su Ping shook his head, telling the truth. "I don’t know. That’s why I asked you for help, so we can try more options!"

"Well then..." Old Liu nodded and made a phone call. "Hello, Hu Yue? Yes, yes, it’s me. I need your help with something. Are you at the dojo or at the Association now? Oh? That’s perfect. Come directly to the simulation battle room on the second floor. I have something to discuss."

After hanging up, Old Liu stood up. "Let’s go!"

Following Old Liu, Su Ping curiously asked, "Old Liu, who was that?"

"Heh, the young master of the Linzhou Spirit Fox Dojo, Hu Yue. His family’s inherited Pet Beast, which they also cultivate, is the Spirit Fox Sword. Although in recent years, Artifact Pet Beasts have become less popular and the Spirit Fox Dojo’s research has shifted towards fox-type Pet Beasts, the Spirit Fox Sword is still Hu Yue’s primary Pet Beast. It may not be his strongest, but it’s definitely good enough!"

Su Ping’s eyes lit up. The simulation battle room was obviously different from the combat arenas in the hall downstairs. Old Liu confidently approached the nearby controller and pressed a few buttons. The massive battle room transformed as if it were alive, changing from an ordinary arena into a bamboo grove clearing in an instant.

Soon after, the man called Master Hu finally arrived. This was a man who looked to be around thirty, pale-faced, wearing black-rimmed glasses. He had a slender, bookish appearance, not at all like a dojo master.

"President Liu!"

"Hu Yue, I need your help with something. Su Ping needs a Sword-type Pet Beast for a battle. I remember your Spirit Fox Sword once had the strength of Commander Tenth Rank, right? Limit its strength a bit and have a bout with Su Ping’s Pet Beast."

"Su Ping?" Hu Yue looked towards the figure beside him. Su Ping hurriedly reached out his hand.

"Hello, Senior Hu!"

Hu Yue nodded, shook hands with Su Ping, and smiled. "Hello, Su Ping! What’s the realm of your Pet Beast?"

"Uh... I guess it’s Elite First Rank!"

"Alright, then I’ll limit Hu Hu to Elite First Rank!" Hu Yue appeared quite agreeable.

Su Ping hesitated. "Actually, never mind Elite First Rank. Elite Peak would be fine..."

"Ah, Su Ping, you don’t understand," Hu Yue said. "Without my restrictions, my Pet Beast is quite prideful. It won’t hold back and will go all out..."
