"That's impossible!"

The speaker was none other than the man in charge of the Wolf Den Breeding Base, an intermediate breeder personally accredited by the Breeder Association: Sun Chaoju.

But the moment the words left his mouth, he felt Qin Xiaoxue's icy gaze on him and hurriedly explained:

"Miss Qin, please don't misunderstand. It's just that a mere student who's only just graduated couldn't possibly..."

"Why couldn't he?"

After receiving the message, Qin Xiaoxue seemed to relax considerably, the anxiety that had begun to rise in her heart subsiding. She gave a soft huff.

"Our Dragon Nation's current Holy Dragon Lord discovered the Yellow-Scaled Snake's special evolution method when he was nineteen, which led to the True Dragon's Blessing we enjoy today!"

Sun Chaoju opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out another word. She was comparing this utterly unknown brat to that legendary Holy Dragon Lord. What else could he say?

The balding Vice President Liu asked suspiciously:

"Xiaoxue, didn't you sense anything unusual about your pet beast through your soul link?"

Seeing the disbelief plastered across all three faces, even her own grandfather's, Qin Xiaoxue grew impatient.

She had no patience to waste arguing with these old fellows. All she wanted now was to see how much stronger her precious Wooden Head had become after mastering Woodheart.

"If you don't believe it, just come take a look with me."

Clearly, those were the very words the three men had been waiting for.

They boarded an aircraft belonging to the Beast Tamer Association, and in just twenty minutes, they traveled from downtown Linzhou City straight to its outskirts.

Looking over the area around the Spirit Creek River, Qin Erlong nodded.

"Whatever else you might say, the environment is quite good. It seems this area has developed nicely over the past few years."

Qin Xiaoxue had no time to listen to her grandfather offer guidance on local development. She hurried to the gate and rang the bell, calling out as she pressed it:

"Su Ping! Open up, I'm here!"

The gate opened as soon as she finished speaking.

Su Ping's voice came through the doorbell speaker:

"Come on in. We're in the reception room!"

Neither Qin Erlong nor Vice President Liu said anything. They followed behind his granddaughter, who was practically flying ahead.

Only Sun Chaoju looked around, disdain creeping into his eyes. The place was certainly spacious,

But this breeding base actually qualified as a breeding base? Wasn't it a little too shabby?

Clearly, even now, he didn't believe some nameless nobody could train a Forest Wolf to acquire a rare skill like Woodheart.

After studying Forest Wolf breeding for so many years, Sun Chaoju knew all too well just what the skill "Woodheart" meant for a Forest Wolf!

At that thought, Sun Chaoju composed himself, suddenly feeling invigorated.

Qin Xiaoxue hadn't spared his dignity at all earlier. She had even brought up the Dragon Lord as a comparison for this unknown little brat!

Just wait. He would expose that rotten kid's scam.

When it came to researching Forest Wolves, Sun Chaoju prided himself on having few equals in Linzhou City. Not only did he possess a unique secret technique that could train Forest Wolves to acquire the skill "Rapid Casting,"

He could even increase the speed at which Forest Wolves learned their species skills. He had once set a record for the fastest improvement, taking a Forest Wolf's Sunlight Absorption from Beginner to Proficient in just half a month.

It was precisely because of this secret method that Wolf Den enjoyed a certain reputation throughout Jianghai Province.

He genuinely hadn't known that Miss Qin had once visited Wolf Den incognito to have her pet beast trained.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have worshipped her like an ancestor?

But it was clearly a little too late to cling to her coattails again. In that case, he could only show Miss Qin that Wolf Den was the best Forest Wolf breeding base in all of Linzhou!

He had to restore Miss Qin's faith in Wolf Den.

He just wondered what method this kid was using to pull off his scam.

Was it some sort of mimicry ability that temporarily granted other pet beasts a particular ability, such as the Beast Tamer talent Heaven-Mirroring Reflection,

Which could achieve a similar effect?

Or had he used some forbidden method, such as exhausting the Forest Wolf's life force, then making it learn and master Woodheart through training?

All of those were possible.

Finally, under Sun Chaoju's expectant gaze, the four of them pushed open the door. Whatever the others thought, Qin Xiaoxue's eyes went round the moment she stepped inside.

What was she looking at?

No one understood Wooden Head's temperament better than she did.

Or rather, the vast majority of wolf-type pet beasts were like that.

Proud by nature, they held everyone except their masters and their own kind in contempt.

Even breeders were merely servants there to attend to him, as far as Wooden Head was concerned.

But now, Wooden Head was sitting on the floor like the most obedient lapdog. Su Ping held out his hand, and Wooden Head affectionately licked the young man's palm.

Yes!

At that very moment, Qin Xiaoxue, who nearly thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, actually saw something in her own Wooden Head that looked like... fawning?

"You're here... huh? Who are these gentlemen?"

Su Ping rubbed his damp palm against the fur along Wooden Head's neck before turning to look at Qin Xiaoxue and the men who had entered beside her.

Qin Xiaoxue clearly had no intention of introducing them to Su Ping. Her shining eyes were fixed entirely on Wooden Head.

Over these past few days of training, Su Ping had strictly limited contact between Qin Xiaoxue and her pet beast to ensure that Wooden Head's bond with him reached the required level.

Qin Xiaoxue had missed him terribly.

Now, she threw her arms around Wooden Head's neck and nuzzled him.

"Awooo!"

Wooden Head let out an excited howl as well.

Meeting Su Ping's questioning gaze, Qin Erlong gave a light cough.

"Hello, young Su. I'm this girl's grandfather. I hear you've been training my granddaughter's pet beast? I never imagined Linzhou had such a young and accomplished breeder, so I came to take a look."

Su Ping paused, then hurriedly nodded.

Now that made sense!

No matter how wealthy she was, with training fees running into the millions, it was perfectly normal for her family to come and check things out.

So he was the financial backer. Su Ping immediately beamed and nodded along.

Soon, however, his gaze shifted to one of the other men.

His expression turned a little strange.

Following Su Ping's gaze, Qin Erlong couldn't help turning his head. Sure enough, the other two men were staring, their eyes fixed firmly on the sole enormous Forest Wolf in the room.

Especially Sun Chaoju.

Streams of data flickered before his pupils.

Clearly, Sun Chaoju's Beast Tamer talent was one of the more common ones: True Eye.

And at that very moment, the enormous words "Woodheart (Beginner)," fed back from Wooden Head, appeared before the eyes of this intermediate breeder and head of the Wolf Den Breeding Base.

They were dazzling enough to sting his eyes!

He had really succeeded?

"How is this possible!?"

Before everyone's eyes, the one who blurted those words out even faster than the intermediate breeder was Vice President Liu of the Breeder Association, who was staring at Wooden Head.

His voice was even louder than Sun Chaoju's earlier cry!
