It was a small, thin book.
It had a rather quaint, old-fashioned feel.
In fact, however, it clearly was not a book passed down from ancient times, but an entirely modern creation.
And written in this book was the breeding method for the Thorn Wolf!
Lying on the guest-room bed at Anling Treehouse, Su Ping opened the breeding method Zhao Lintian had given him directly, along with Zhao Lintian's breeding insights from this period.
The Thorn Wolf was a Commander Rank evolution of the Forest Wolf, adept at close-quarters combat, with formidable offense and defense.
Su Ping turned the pages, reading every word and sentence.
Sure enough, after reading just a little, Su Ping nodded. Zhao Lintian had not simply been lucky like Sun Chaoju back then, whose Ten Thousand Woods Wolf had changed and evolved on its own.
Zhao Lintian had glimpsed a possible direction for the Thorn Wolf through a chance occurrence.
According to these notes, Zhao Lintian had discovered that some Forest Wolves in the jungle liked to rub their bodies against an ordinary plant called the Iron Thorn Tree, in addition to eating fruit.
From then on, Zhao Lintian had kept observing them. Gradually, he discovered that Forest Wolves that frequently rubbed against Iron Thorn Trees not only had tougher bodies and sharper claws, but even the vines they summoned with Tree Vine Strangulation became tougher and sharper.

However, the resources it consumed were quite expensive among Commander Rank Evolution Forms. Otherwise, it would not have placed only seventh in that year's Breeding Competition.
Still, the Thorn Wolf's combat strength was quite good
