• Su Ping opened his class group chat and saw Zhou Shuchen describe buying a Red Fang Tiger with commander-rank species potential and teaching it Flame Pounce.
• Zhou Shuchen implied Su Ping had high standards for refusing a Scythe Giant Centipede, and Su Ping questioned why his former classmate was now making snide remarks.

Su Ping ignored Zhou Shuchen’s mockery in the class group chat and focused on Xiao Qing’s imminent advancement. The next morning, he found that his Forest Wolf Record had gained experience and the Woodheart Potion was ready.

• Old Sha reluctantly accepted the potion, believing Su Ping needed to test his brewing and protect his confidence.
• Old Sha swallowed the potion and gave Su Ping a mournful farewell before its effects appeared.
• Emerald light surrounded Old Sha, nearby shoots rapidly sprouted, and its aura caused the other Forest Wolves to bow.
• The phenomena faded, and Old Sha let out a joyful howl.

• After watching Old Sha, Xiao Qing produced purple vines and learned Poison Vine Strangulation.

After gaining Forest Wolf Record experience from the encounter, he announced a plan to help every Forest Wolf at Woodheart awaken the Woodheart skill, leaving Old Sha worried about the potion-making involved.

Su Ping turned away Manager Guan’s offer to buy Forest Wolves but agreed to discuss renting them after two days. After using up Woodheart’s remaining potion ingredients, he focused on finding enough money to fund his plans for the Forest Wolves.

• Manager Guan waited outside Woodheart for three hours before Su Ping opened the gate in protective gear amid a foul odor.
• Manager Guan offered to rent or buy Forest Wolves and brought up Yuntian’s interest in Woodheart’s land, but Su Ping postponed the land discussion and refused to sell the beasts.
• Manager Guan offered daily rental rates and battle fees, and Su Ping promised to visit him in two days to make a deal.
• Su Ping used up the ingredients for four batches of Woodheart Potion and realized renting out Forest Wolves alone would not quickly fund potions for his twenty-odd beasts.
• Su Ping stroked Xiao Qing and pondered how to obtain the large sum of money his plans required.

Su Ping decided to earn money by offering Forest Wolf boarding and training rather than selling the wolves or revealing his Woodheart Potion formula. He placed an advertisement through Li Shu’s father, then prepared to test two newly cooled potions on Little Dot and Xiao Qing.

• Su Ping planned to use his perfected Woodheart Potion to offer Forest Wolf training services and raise money for his breeding plans.
• Su Ping called Li Shu, who agreed to arrange an advertisement in the Linzhou Pet Beast Daily.

• Su Ping paid for the advertisement and set aside one of his last three Woodheart Potions as startup capital.
• Su Ping noticed the remaining potions had finished cooling and prepared to try them on Little Dot and Xiao Qing.

Su Ping gave Little Dot and Xiao Qing Woodheart Potion, which raised Little Dot's strength and awakened its Accelerated Growth skill while triggering a poison-type mutation in Xiao Qing. The Forest Wolf Record identified Xiao Qing's new Mutated Poison Woodheart skill and offered to reveal the mutation's cause and training method for 50,000 experience, leaving Su Ping eager to examine Xiao Qing's changes.

Su Ping discovered that Xiao Qing’s Woodheart mutation had raised the Forest Wolf’s species potential and granted it a powerful poison-based skill. He took Xiao Qing and Little Dot into the woods to train and planned to build intimacy with the rest of the pack to advance the Forest Wolf Record.

• Su Ping used True Eye and learned that Xiao Qing had reached ordinary fourth rank, gained commander third-rank species potential, and awakened Mutated Poison Woodheart.
• Su Ping discovered that Mutated Poison Woodheart strengthened poison- and wood-element skills, restored Xiao Qing with plant energy, and let poison resources accelerate its growth and skill proficiency.
• Su Ping became eager to obtain the Forest Wolf Poison-Type Bloodline Mutation Cause entry and took Xiao Qing and Little Dot outside for combat training.
• Su Ping noted that the Forest Wolf Record had reached 222 out of 500 experience and called the pack over to improve their intimacy.
• The Forest Wolves ignored Su Ping’s speech until he brought out fruit snacks, then gathered in rows for their treats.

Su Ping spent his days improving his Forest Wolf Record and meditating while his advertisement brought in almost no customers. A furious young woman finally arrived at the breeding base, leaving Su Ping unsure whether she would become his first walk-in customer.

• Su Ping collected Forest Wolf dung and reflected that the ordinary wolves had reached the affinity needed to enter his Forest Wolf Record.
• Su Ping noted that his meditation had raised him from ordinary fourth rank to ordinary fifth rank, while Xiao Qing had grown stronger.

• Qin Xiaoxue arrived at the Wood Heart Pet Beast Breeding Base seeking a breeder who could train a Forest Wolf in Woodheart, but initially dismissed Su Ping when he introduced himself as the owner and Beast Tamer.
• Su Ping asked Qin Xiaoxue to give him a chance and promised to waive all preliminary expenses and material costs if Timber failed to learn Woodheart.

• Su Ping printed a contract for a training fee of three million five hundred thousand and declined Qin Xiaoxue’s offer of an additional favor.
• Qin Xiaoxue signed on to the wager and wondered whether Su Ping might truly succeed.

After Qin Xiaoxue confronted her grandfather, Qin Erlong, over a previous failed training attempt, she told him she had found a breeder who could develop Woodheart, leaving him doubtful and curious about the Linzhou breeding base.

• Qin Xiaoxue left Wooden Head at Su Ping’s breeding base, where Su Ping prepared to experiment on the wolf.
• Qin Xiaoxue returned to the Beast Tamer Association and accused Qin Erlong of recommending a base that charged her three million and failed to teach Wooden Head Accelerated Casting.

• After Qin Xiaoxue left, Qin Erlong wondered whether the Linzhou breeder was real and called to investigate.

Su Ping focused on raising his Forest Wolves until the Forest Wolf Record met its upgrade requirement, while Qin Xiaoxue noticed the woman who appeared to be the chairman connected to Manager Guan’s visit. The chapter ended with Su Ping receiving the option to upgrade the record to LV2.

• Su Ping raised the last Elite tier-nine Forest Wolf’s intimacy until the Forest Wolf Record reached 514/500 experience and prompted him to upgrade it.

Su Ping unlocked Connection Sharing after the Forest Wolf Record reached level 2, gaining the ability to share skill-training experience among compatible Forest Wolves. He realized the ability could strengthen his pack and inspire a new skill-training service at his breeding base.

• Su Ping accepted the Myriad Spirits Codex prompt and upgraded the Forest Wolf Record to level 2, which deepened his understanding of Forest Wolves and made them more affectionate toward him.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex granted Su Ping Connection Sharing, allowing up to fifteen nearby Forest Wolves to share experience from training, using, and improving skills they already possessed.
• Su Ping recognized that Connection Sharing could greatly accelerate his Forest Wolves’ skill development, though wolves could not gain skills they did not know from other connected wolves.
• Su Ping considered using the ability to perfect his Forest Wolves’ standard skills and offer paid skill-proficiency training at the Woodheart Forest Wolf Beast Breeding Base.

Su Ping used Connection Sharing to train fifteen Forest Wolves in Sunlight Absorption, rapidly improving their skills and ranks. Wooden Head gained affinity with Su Ping, and he prepared the Woodheart Potion for it.

• Su Ping assembled the Forest Wolves and selected fifteen, including Xiao Qing, Little Dot, and Old Sha, to practice Sunlight Absorption together.
• Xiao Qing advanced from ordinary fourth rank to ordinary fifth rank and quickly raised Sunlight Absorption to proficient level.

• Sun Chaoju apologized to Qin Xiaoxue for the Wolf Den Breeding Base’s mistake and offered to refund her fee and retrain Wooden Head for free.
• Qin Xiaoxue asked Qin Erlong about Dong Muyun of Skycloud Group, then refused Sun Chaoju’s refund and declined further training at Wolf Den.

• Qin Xiaoxue defended her trust in Su Ping and prepared to leave without explaining why she believed him.
• Qin Xiaoxue received Su Ping’s message that Wooden Head’s training had succeeded, and everyone in the office objected that it was impossible.

Qin Xiaoxue brought her grandfather and two breeders to Su Ping’s base to verify that Wooden Head had learned Woodheart. Sun Chaoju and Vice President Liu saw the skill confirmed and were left stunned.

• Sun Chaoju insisted that a newly graduated student could not teach a Forest Wolf Woodheart, but Qin Xiaoxue defended Su Ping and took the group to his base.
• Qin Xiaoxue arrived with Qin Erlong, Vice President Liu, and Sun Chaoju, who suspected Su Ping was using a trick.
• The group entered and saw Wooden Head affectionately licking Su Ping’s hand, then Qin Xiaoxue embraced her excited pet beast.
• Qin Erlong introduced himself as Qin Xiaoxue’s grandfather, while Sun Chaoju used True Eye to inspect Wooden Head.
• Sun Chaoju saw that Wooden Head had learned Woodheart at Beginner level, and Vice President Liu exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Ping demonstrated his Forest Wolf Wooden Head’s Woodheart cultivation before Qin Xiaoxue and the breeders, earning the recognition of Qin Erlong and Vice President Liu. After Qin Xiaoxue paid him 5 million yuan, Sun Chaoju offered free skill training, but Su Ping said his Woodheart provided the same service for a high price.

• Su Ping acted dismissive when Vice President Liu questioned whether he had bred Wooden Head, and Qin Xiaoxue’s confidence in his abilities convinced the older men he was a genius breeder.

• Qin Xiaoxue paid Su Ping 5 million yuan, leaving him with 4,451,562 yuan after taxes and his previous balance.
• Sun Chaoju offered Qin Xiaoxue free skill training for Wooden Head, but Su Ping said Woodheart offered the same service for a high price.

Su Ping challenged Sun Chaoju to a wager over training Wooden Head’s Self-Healing skill, using the contest to pursue Sun Chaoju’s Accelerated Casting method and other valuable stakes. Sun Chaoju raised the stakes by offering an incomplete Ten Thousand Wood Wolf Evolution Breeding Method, leaving everyone stunned.

• Qin Xiaoxue agreed to Su Ping’s offer to train her Forest Wolf, and Su Ping set fees for improving its racial skills and Woodheart.
• Sun Chaoju criticized Su Ping’s skill-training prices and bet that he could raise Wooden Head’s Self-Healing from beginner to proficient within a month.
• Su Ping countered that he would achieve the same result in half a month or lose, and demanded a stake more valuable than Sun Chaoju’s Accelerated Casting method.
• Qin Xiaoxue and Vice President Liu objected that Sun Chaoju’s proposed wager was unfair.
• Sun Chaoju offered an incomplete Ten Thousand Wood Wolf Evolution Breeding Method as an additional stake, shocking everyone.

Sun Chaoju offered an unstable Ten Thousand Woods Wolf evolution method as the stake in his wager with Su Ping. Su Ping accepted the challenge, confident he could perfect it, and Vice President Liu promised to register him as an Intermediate Breeder.

• Sun Chaoju revealed that his Ten Thousand Woods Wolf evolution experiments had repeatedly ended in the evolved wolves dying from fibrosis and organ failure.
• Qin Erlong and Vice President Liu questioned Sun Chaoju about the method’s flaws, while Qin Xiaoxue dismissed it as only a research direction.
• Su Ping decided to accept the wager, believing the Forest Wolf Record and Myriad Spirits Codex could help him complete the evolution method.
• Vice President Liu promised to apply for Su Ping’s Senior Breeder qualification if he succeeded and agreed to register him as an Intermediate Breeder after hearing his claimed sixty-to-seventy-percent success rate for cultivating Woodheart.
• Su Ping formally confirmed the wager and saw the others off, eager to raise a Ten Thousand Woods Wolf.
