Chapter Summaries

Su Ping used a Sun Crystal, Sunlight Springwater, and simulated sunlight to awaken Old Sha’s Blinding Technique. The four sunlight-related skills began a special fusion, which was still in progress after an entire night as Su Ping called Vice President Liu for help.

• Old Sha returned to Woodheart after reaching Monarch Rank, and Su Ping brought him into the laboratory to examine his skills.
• Su Ping placed Old Sha in Sunlight Springwater under simulated sunlight and gave him a Sun Crystal to awaken the Blinding Technique.
• Old Sha’s energy surged as he gained Blinding Technique (Beginner), then unleashed a dazzling flash throughout Woodheart Base when Su Ping ordered him to use it at full power.
• Su Ping saw that Sunlight Absorption, Photosynthesis, Woodheart, and Blinding Technique were all marked as being in special fusion in progress.
• After watching Old Sha through the night and seeing the fusion remain unfinished, Su Ping called Vice President Liu.

Liu Fuhai’s failed attempt to develop a Super-Rank Skill for the Ice Fang White Wolf gave way to excitement when he saw the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf entering skill fusion. He told Su Ping about the coming national Beast Tamer assessment, and Su Ping resolved to compete before Qin Xiaoxue called to say her Canopy Wolf Emperor evolution was ten days away.

• Liu Fuhai’s team found no connection between Snow Swallowing Art and the Ice Fang White Wolf’s Frozen Bloodline, leaving him disappointed after weeks of research.

• Su Ping decided to compete in the assessment and resolved to accelerate Xiao Qing’s evolution and help Feifei progress.
• Qin Xiaoxue called Su Ping and said Wooden Head would evolve into a Canopy Wolf Emperor in about ten days, asking when he planned to visit Demon City.

Su Ping arranged Woodheart’s expansion and agreed to take in more wolf pets after the Breeder Competition, while Liu Fuhai introduced him to the Ice Fang White Wolf and its Frozen Bloodline skill. Su Ping had no immediate solution for Liu Fuhai’s attempt to develop a Super-Rank Skill, but he agreed to study the new wolves and prepare land for them.

• Qin Xiaoxue arranged for Aunt Qin to take Su Ping to Demon City in a few days for the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s evolution.

• Liu Fuhai showed Su Ping Bai Ye, an Ice Fang White Wolf whose Frozen Bloodline transformed its body into ice crystal.
• Su Ping suggested combining Frozen Bloodline with Iceheart, but Liu Fuhai explained that he had not managed to develop Iceheart for the species.
• Su Ping agreed to have someone contact the landowners and buy the land, and asked Liu Fuhai to advise him on creating habitats for the wolves.

Su Ping prepared to leave for Demon City by using Feifei to plan a five-day sweep of Jianghai Province’s abandoned mystic realms, while Dong Muyun drove him between them. As the Celestial Observatory’s Huang Tianbing tried to gauge Su Ping’s interest in a dangerous Mystic Realm on Yanxun Island, Feifei’s training ended with a new lesson about intelligence and wisdom.

• Su Ping told Li Shu and Guan Lili he would be away and discovered that Feifei could access phones and networks through simulated psychic signals.
• Su Ping let Feifei use his account under strict rules, then had Feifei find Jianghai’s remaining mystic realms and plan a route through all twenty-two within five days.
• Dong Muyun drove Su Ping around the province as he destroyed mystic realms, while Huang Tianbing learned that Su Ping’s reports accurately matched the disappearances and considered seeking help with the dangerous Mystic Realm on Yanxun Island.
• Huang Tianbing sent Su Ping a message hinting at further cooperation, but Su Ping dismissed it as a routine automated reply and used it to teach Feifei how to recognize customer-service responses.
• Feifei sent Huang Tianbing a question about whether the five-colored chicken or egg came first, then recorded a document distinguishing intelligence from wisdom.

After returning to Linzhou, Su Ping checked on his expanding botanical garden and planned research into Paper-Folding Man and Forest Wolf. With Qin Xiaoxue’s call, he finally set out for Demon City with Old Sha and his companions, four days before the Canopy Wolf Emperor evolution.

• Su Ping returned to Linzhou with his mental power at Elite Tier Nine and a Beast Taming Space expanded to more than six hundred square meters.

• Six days after Qin Xiaoxue’s previous call, she contacted Su Ping, and he departed for Demon City aboard the Cloud Soarer with Liu Fuhai, Sun Chaoju, and Old Sha.

Su Ping traveled to Demon City aboard the Cloud Soarer, then toured Demon City Beast Taming Academy and learned about its Trial Tower. Aunt Qin offered him the dean’s promise of any one request if he reached the Elite Tier top hundred, leaving Su Ping eager to test himself and wondering whether he could get a Trial Tower built at Woodheart Base.

• Sun Chaoju took pictures aboard the Cloud Soarer, showed them off online, and was kicked out of the Wolves of Jianghai group chat.
• Su Ping questioned Cloud Soarer about Mechanical Pet Beasts, and Aunt Qin told him where he could find mechanical blueprints in Demon City.

• Qianyi cleared the first wave in 2.74 seconds and prepared for the second wave during the one-minute rest.

Su Ping and Qianyi cleared the Trial Tower’s first five waves with extraordinary speed, including a three-on-one battle, before the arena transformed into a mountain peak for the next challenge. Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxue left the Forest Sea Mystic Realm and tried to shake off her gossip-hungry roommates, but they followed her toward the dean’s vehicle, convinced she was hiding a meeting with Su Ping.

• Qianyi defeated the first four Trial Tower waves in under three seconds each, then cleared the fifth wave’s three elite-tier opponents with One-Word Lightning Sword: Lightning Flashes in Succession.
• After the fifth wave, the Trial Tower announced a 200-second interval and changed the battlefield from grassland into a perilous mountain peak above an abyss.

• In the eleventh wave, three flying Emperor Rank cubs battered Qianyi through the air, and Su Ping prepared to stop the challenge.
• Qianyi returned two swords to their sheaths, drew the Wind Sword, and summoned fierce winds as he rose into the air.

Little Paper Figure Qianyi mastered the Wind Sword and defeated the flying beasts through wave twelve, while Su Ping continued the Trial Tower challenge. Outside, Qin Xiaoxue and the academy president learned that Su Ping had broken the Single-Target Elite record and was still fighting in wave thirteen.

• Qianyi combined swordsmanship with wind control, killed the Divine Wind Sparrow and Netherworld Ghost Butterfly, then defeated the Ice Dragon with a wind-powered strike.

• Su Ping gave Qianyi an energy recovery potion, returned him to his Beast Taming Space, and left the arena to find the passage filled with people.

After Su Ping broke the Trial Tower record with his Paper-Folding Man, he told the Sang Sage about his research into new Paper-Folding Man evolutions and declined her offer to study at Demon City Academy. The Sang Sage invited him to become a guest professor, and the chapter ended with Su Ping unrolling the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s evolution and breeding method.

• Su Ping emerged from the Trial Tower after reaching the fifteenth wave, then was transported to the Sang Sage’s residence, where he reunited with Old Sha and Qin Xiaoxue.
• The Sang Sage learned that Su Ping’s Paper-Folding Man was a mutant made with Saint Spirit Tier resources and that he had developed several new evolutions with further potential.
• The Sang Sage stopped Su Ping from revealing his breeding methods and invited him to study at Demon City Academy, but Su Ping declined because he had to manage his business at home.
• Su Ping said he planned to enter the Breeding Competition with the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf, and the Sang Sage suggested he observe Wooden Head’s evolution into a Canopy Wolf Emperor.
• The Sang Sage offered Su Ping a guest professor position, then left him with Qin Xiaoxue, who gave him the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s evolution and breeding method.
• Su Ping unrolled the parchment to examine the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s method.

Lady Sang watched Qianyi’s Trial Tower recording and was astonished by the Mutated Paper-Folding Man’s abilities. Meanwhile, Su Ping studied the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s breeding method, and the Myriad Spirits Codex offered to improve the evolution path.

• Lady Sang reviewed Su Ping’s achievements and watched Qianyi battle through the Trial Tower, marveling at its mastery of multiple attributes and combat talent.
• Su Ping read the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s breeding method and learned its demanding preparations, Crown of Thorns bonding, mirror-projection process, and final evolution stage.
• Su Ping considered whether the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s cloning process could work alongside a clone-type skill.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex discovered the Canopy Wolf Emperor evolution path and offered to improve it for 3,500 Record experience points.

Su Ping used the Myriad Spirits Codex to improve Wooden Head’s Canopy Wolf Emperor evolution and gave Qin Xiaoxue advice to pass on to the breeder. At dinner, Sang Sage offered to help with his interests, and Su Ping asked to learn about mechanical pet beasts, leaving with a promise to meet the academy’s Mechanical Department head.

• Su Ping spent Record experience to analyze the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s evolution and identified ways to improve its clone control by strengthening its mental power.
• Su Ping advised Qin Xiaoxue to use a Soul-Splitting Crystal and mental-strength resources during evolution, and suggested a potion mixture to help Wooden Head adapt to the Crown of Thorns faster.

Su Ping watched Wooden Head challenge Old Sha, who easily defeated him and exposed the gap between them. After Qin Xiaoxue left, Su Ping considered how to evolve Xiao Qing by combining elementalization, poison, and cloning, then began researching the idea.

• Qin Xiaoxue brought Su Ping back to his villa and discussed Wooden Head's coming evolution and Old Sha's strength.
• Wooden Head challenged Old Sha, but Old Sha suppressed him with Wolf King's Majesty and then defeated his attacks with Language of Nature.

• Qin Xiaoxue left by leaping across the villa walls, and Su Ping returned to his room.
• Su Ping summoned Xiao Qing and considered an evolution combining elementalization, poison, and cloning.
• Su Ping opened the Breeder Association's backend network and searched for information about cloning skills and Elementalization.

Qin Xiaoxue brought Su Ping’s breeding improvements for Wooden Head to Uncle Li, who mistook the unnamed young Breeder for a Master Breeder and successfully tested one of his methods. The chapter left Su Ping preparing to visit the Mechanical Association with Sang Sage.

• Lu Xiaolu and Ling Xiaoxiao questioned Qin Xiaoxue about Su Ping after she returned to the villa.
• Qin Xiaoxue told Uncle Li that a Breeder introduced by Sang Sage had identified two problems with the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s evolution method and offered solutions.
• Uncle Li studied Su Ping’s notes and tested the method for helping Wooden Head absorb the Crown of Thorns, confirming that it worked.
• Uncle Li asked Qin Xiaoxue about meeting the Master Breeder, then called Liu Fuhai to learn that Master Zhu would judge the upcoming Breeder Competition.
• Sang Sage called Su Ping and offered to take him to the Mechanical Association while visiting the City Center, and Su Ping agreed.

Su Ping visited the Mechanical Association with Wang Quan to study mechanical pet beasts and inspect blueprints, but found the available designs too reliant on weapons and electrical power. As he approached the Exchange Factory, a dispute over supposedly impossible energy-replenishing blueprints caught his attention.

• The Sang Sage brought Su Ping to the Mechanical Association, where Wang Quan welcomed him and introduced him to Haotian, the president’s Emperor Tier Three Mechanical Titan.
• Wang Quan gave Su Ping introductory materials and blueprints, and Su Ping learned how mechanical cores, bodies, and evolution worked.
• Su Ping judged the blueprints he examined to be overly dependent on mechanical weapons and electrical energy, and Wang Quan explained that those were essential supports for current machines.
• Wang Quan let Su Ping explore the association while he attended to other matters.
• At the Exchange Factory, a burly man accused a young blueprint seller of fraud for claiming his designs could replenish energy automatically, and Su Ping stopped to listen.

Su Ping followed two brothers who had staged a scam at the Mechanical Association and discovered that their supposed energy-recycling blueprint came from an ancient Mystic Realm relic. He bought the brothers’ original materials and arranged to meet them in Linzhou after New Year’s Day to learn the relic’s origins.

• Su Ping suspected the muscular man and the scrawny young man were partners, followed the man from the Mechanical Association, and caught the Zhang Brothers dividing their profits.
• Su Ping inspected their Five Elements Generation and Restriction blueprint and recognized its potential for an energy device for Qianyi.
• Su Ping pressured Zhang Chaoqun and Zhang Bufan into showing him the original materials by threatening to expose their dealings with Council Member Shen.
• The Zhang Brothers revealed an ancient thread-bound book and a strange artifact, and Zhang Chaoqun identified himself and Zhang Bufan as descendants of Mystic Realm explorers.
• Su Ping arranged for the Zhang Brothers to visit him in Linzhou after New Year’s Day and explain where the relic came from.

Su Ping studied an ancient Five Elements Formation and mechanical blueprints, but found his Paper-Folding Men research still faced a bottleneck. After returning outside, he discovered Old Sha was absorbing the morning sunlight as his Super-Rank Skill fusion neared completion.

• Su Ping spent two days studying the ancient notebook, the Five Elements Formation, and mechanical blueprints, confirming the formation could convert energy between elements but finding the machinery unsuitable for Paper-Folding Men.
• Su Ping learned that Qin Xiaoxue had taken Wooden Head to the Forest Sea Mystic Realm for the Canopy Wolf Emperor’s Third Stage of evolution, and he replied to her message.
• Su Ping went outside to take Old Sha for a walk and found him sleeping unusually deeply in the courtyard.
• As the sun rose, Old Sha absorbed the sunlight, his body turned golden, and his antlers turned white, signaling that his Super-Rank Skill fusion was almost complete.

Su Ping watched Old Sha complete the fusion of his Sun Formula skills and gain the Super-Rank Skill Sunheart, raising his racial potential to Emperor Rank First Stage. Wanting to test Sunheart’s explosive power safely, he accepted Qin Xiaoxue’s invitation to the Forest Sea Mystic Realm, which was empty before its noon reset.

• Old Sha’s golden transformation ended as he awoke and howled at the sun, revealing the permanent changes to his appearance.
• Su Ping used True Eye and discovered that Old Sha had gained Mastery of Super-Rank Skill Sunheart and that his racial potential had risen to Emperor Rank First Stage.
• Su Ping examined Sunheart’s ability to absorb and store solar energy, strengthen energy skills, and detonate stored sunlight, but decided not to test it at Demon City Academy.
• Su Ping exchanged messages with Qin Xiaoxue, who told him that Wooden Head’s training was nearly complete and that Uncle Li wanted to meet Su Ping.
• Su Ping asked Qin Xiaoxue where he could test a large-scale skill, and she invited him to the Forest Sea Mystic Realm because it was empty before its noon reset.
• Su Ping checked the academy map and headed for the mystic realm plaza.
