Chapter Summaries

Su Anyong negotiated military rewards for Su Ping’s breeding work with Division Commander Lin Lei, using the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf’s potential and secrecy as leverage. Lin Lei agreed to rewards tied to the Forest Wolf Regiment’s tournament results, then suspected Su Anyong belonged to a confidential Special Beast Tamer Corps, while Su Anyong returned home to find a Little Paper Figure wielding a Paper Sword.

• Zhang Lie told Division Commander Lin Lei that Su Anyong wanted military merit in addition to Merit Points, so Lin Lei spoke with Su Anyong by video call.
• Su Anyong argued that the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf’s Monarch Rank potential and unknown abilities deserved more than a few Merit Points, and challenged Lin Lei’s promises of military rewards.
• Lin Lei offered Second-Class Merit if the Forest Wolf Regiment placed in the army’s top five, and Third-Class Merit if it did not; Su Anyong secured an additional Third-Class Merit for a top-five finish.
• Lin Lei agreed to provide breeding resources and told Zhang Lie to bring the selected Forest Wolf Regiment elites to Woodheart before Su Anyong left in two days.
• After the call, Lin Lei guessed Su Anyong might belong to a secret Special Beast Tamer Corps and ordered Zhang Lie to make the breeding effort succeed.
• Su Anyong returned home and stared in disbelief at a Little Paper Figure brandishing its Paper Sword.

Su Ping investigated the Little Paper Figure’s connection to a Mystic Realm and questioned what Su Anyong told him about the Paper-Folding Man’s skills and potential. After selecting Forest Wolves for the Beast Tamer Corps to breed, Su Ping learned that his Forest Wolf Record had enough experience to upgrade.

• Su Anyong warned Su Ping that Paper-Folding Men had only one racial skill and poor evolutionary potential, while Su Ping decided to investigate the species further.
• Su Ping trained Forest Wolves and studied with Old Sha before returning to his room for the night.
• Zhang Lie arrived at Woodheart Breeding Base with ten elite Beast Tamers and their Forest Wolves for Su Ping to evaluate.
• Su Ping selected ten Forest Wolves, including one with Proficient-level Sunlight Absorption and one with Perfection-level Sunlight Absorption, and asked Zhang Lie to bring resources in two days.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex reported that Su Ping had reached the experience requirement to upgrade his Forest Wolf Record.

Su Ping advanced the Forest Wolf Record to LV3 and gained Mind Vision, which let him observe and command connected Forest Wolves remotely. As Su Anyong departed, Su Ping reflected on his plans for Woodheart and prepared for Xiao Qing’s next breakthrough.

• The Forest Wolf Record reached LV3, granting Su Ping Mind Vision and allowing him to share the views of up to twenty connected Forest Wolves.
• Su Ping tested Mind Vision by commanding Old Sha to distribute fruit and found that Forest Wolves struggled to adapt to shared viewpoints.
• Su Anyong prepared to leave without giving Su Ping his sports car, but he gave him the Natural Essence he no longer needed after Old Sha evolved.
• Su Ping planned to expand Woodheart and cultivate more kinds of pet beasts, while postponing a decision about joining Yuntian Resort to explore the approaching Mystic Realm.
• Xiao Qing reached Ordinary Tier Ten after mastering Sunlight Absorption, and Su Ping planned to use Devil Willow Leaves to help him break through to the Elite Tier.

Su Ping planned to evolve the army’s Forest Wolves into Ten Thousand Woods Wolves while realizing that expanding Woodheart would require far more money than he had. General Zhao discovered the unfamiliar evolution plan in the army’s competition documents and became interested in Su Ping and Woodheart Breeding Base.

• Su Ping scheduled Woodheart training first, then planned to breed the army’s Forest Wolves into Ten Thousand Woods Wolves and leave time for combat training.
• Su Ping reviewed Old Guan’s expansion plans and costs, realized development and future pet-beast purchases would require enormous funding, and decided to focus on making money and acquiring nearby property deeds.
• General Zhao reviewed the army divisions’ breeding plans and noted several promising tiger and other pet-beast evolutions.
• General Zhao found the Forest Wolf Regiment’s plan to breed Ten Thousand Woods Wolves and cultivate Woodheart, then searched unsuccessfully for information about the evolution form.
• General Zhao learned that the plan came from Su Ping at Woodheart Breeding Base and texted Liu Fuhai, congratulating him on keeping the discovery secret.

Vice President Liu learned that the Forest Wolf Regiment had turned to an unknown breeder for the upcoming Legion Grand Tournament, while Su Ping remained too busy to tell him that he had completed the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf breeding. After expanding his Woodheart business and planning a new breeding base, Su Ping prepared to help Xiao Qing attempt a breakthrough to the elite tier.

• Vice President Liu told Sun Chaoju and Breeder Wang that the army was outsourcing breeding and that the Forest Wolf Regiment had found a breeder capable of evolving Forest Wolves for its tournament.
• Sun Chaoju wondered whether Su Ping could contribute with his Woodheart, but Vice President Liu dismissed the idea and later received a cryptic message from Zhao Deguang.
• Su Ping trained his Forest Wolves in combat exercises, bred ten Woodheart Forest Wolves, earned more than thirty million, and secured a hundred-year contract for land south of the Spirit Creek River.
• Guan Qianshan urged Su Ping to hire reception staff, and Su Ping suggested that Guan Qianshan's daughter come work at the breeding base.
• Su Ping carried Xiao Qing into the infirmary so the pet could try consuming Devil Willow Leaves and break through to the elite tier.

Su Ping helped Xiao Qing consume Devil Willow Leaves, and Xiao Qing broke through to Elite Tier One while awakening the new skill Poison Flower. After testing Xiao Qing’s growth, Su Ping returned to his room and prepared to advance to the Elite Tier himself.

• Su Ping checked Xiao Qing’s abilities and gave him half a Devil Willow Leaf under close monitoring.
• Xiao Qing absorbed the remaining leaf, broke through to Elite Tier One, and awakened the Poison Flower skill.
• Su Ping examined Poison Flower and received Myriad Spirits Codex experience and a reduced cost for analyzing Xiao Qing’s mutation.
• Su Ping took Xiao Qing and Old Sha outside to test the new skill while Guan Qianshan watched them training late at night.
• After eating a late-night snack and returning to his room, Su Ping prepared to begin his own advance to the Elite Tier.

Su Ping advanced to Elite Tier, and the Creation Stone transformed his Beast Taming Space into a miniature ecosystem while he awakened Spatial Absorption. He decided to cultivate Smiley-Faced Sunflowers and prepared to make Little Paper Figure his second contracted pet beast, but paused to consider what name to give him.

• Su Ping's Beast Taming Space expanded and gained an ecological cycle, complete with soil, a sky, and a miniature sun.
• Su Ping discovered his new Spatial Absorption trait, which could absorb the origins of ownerless Mystic Realms under specific conditions.
• Su Ping ordered Smiley-Faced Sunflower seeds to grow in his space and celebrated becoming an Elite Tier Beast Tamer.
• Su Ping reaffirmed his choice of Little Paper Figure despite the pet beast's low potential and asked him to follow him as a core disciple.
• Little Paper Figure agreed, but Su Ping hesitated before forming a Soul Contract because he realized he needed to give him a name.

Su Ping named his newly contracted Paper-Folding Man Qianyi and discovered that pouring its energy into the Sword Soul Mark opened a gateway to its Mystic Realm. In Linzhou City, Dong Muyun sensed the disturbance and flew toward the site to investigate.

• Su Ping named the Paper-Folding Man Qianyi, formed a Soul Contract with it, and the bond raised Qianyi to ordinary tier ten.
• Su Ping took Qianyi to the Spirit Creek River and learned through their soul connection that other creatures lived in its Mystic Realm.
• Qianyi used the Sword Soul Mark to return to the Mystic Realm, then spent its energy on the mark at Su Ping's instruction.
• A sword-shaped shadow appeared over Qianyi, and a person-sized gateway to the Mystic Realm opened beside the Spirit Creek River.
• Dong Muyun sensed a strong reaction at her spatial marker, activated her flight armor, and flew out of her apartment to investigate.

Su Ping and Dong Muyun negotiated a deal to explore the Sword Mystic Realm, then signed a contract with Qin Erlong present to oversee it. When the Mystic Realm reappeared, Su Ping headed inside with his companions, leaving Qin Erlong stunned by the unusual pet beast he brought.

• Su Ping recognized that Little Paper Figure’s Sword Soul Mark had opened the Sword Mystic Realm, and he agreed to let Dong Muyun explore it for twenty-four hours in exchange for Yuntian Resort and four Mechanical Cores.
• The Mystic Realm gate faded before Dong Muyun could enter, so she arranged for Su Ping to come to Yuntian the next day to sign a contract.
• Su Ping arrived at Yuntian with Qin Erlong, who reviewed the contract and ensured that Su Ping and Dong Muyun signed their agreement.
• During lunch, Dong Muyun learned that the Mystic Realm had reappeared, and she, Su Ping, and Qin Erlong rushed to the Spirit Creek River bank.
• Dong Muyun entered the vortex, while Qin Erlong warned that he could not follow because of the Mystic Realm’s restrictions; Su Ping returned with two Commander Rank Forest Wolves and a qilin-like pet beast that shocked Qin Erlong.

Su Ping entered the Sword Tomb Mystic Realm with Old Sha and a pack of Forest Wolves, then faced a group of hostile sword-type pet beasts. Old Sha turned the barren hillside into a jungle, giving the wolves the advantage as Qin Erlong watched their battle from outside.

• Qin Erlong recognized Su Ping’s Ten Thousand Woods Wolf and gave him a device that could protect and extract him from the Mystic Realm.
• Su Ping entered the Sword Tomb, learned he needed to find a Sword Soul Mark to unlock the Sword Inheritance, and released his Forest Wolf pack to head toward the summit.
• Su Ping and his wolves encountered a flying Decayed Sword, which Dazhuang destroyed with vines.
• A group of swords, including an icy Commander Tier azure longsword, attacked Su Ping and his wolves.
• Old Sha used Tree Prison and Language of Nature to turn the hillside into a jungle, allowing the wolves to fight and recover within it.
• Qin Erlong watched the battle on his device, marveled at the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf’s ability, and messaged Vice President Liu that he owed him a favor.

Su Ping reached the Sword Tomb’s highest peak, where he found Dong Muyun beside an enormous sword and activated the Sword Soul Mark with Little Paper Figure. The sword inheritance began as a beam of light pierced the sky.

• Liu Fuhai guided junior breeders from Huaiyang Province through the Forest Wolf grounds and grew angry when Qin Erlong sent him a cryptic message.
• Qin Erlong watched Su Ping’s Forest Wolves defeat successive groups of sword beasts without casualties, while Su Ping considered how Old Sha’s skills replenished its power from sunlight.
• Su Ping reached the battered highest peak and found Dong Muyun beside an enormous black sword, frustrated after failing to find the Sword Soul Mark.
• Su Ping summoned Little Paper Figure and directed it to activate the Sword Soul Mark, sending a beam of sword light into the sky before Dong Muyun and Qin Erlong.

Su Ping learned that Little Paper Figure carried the mark of a Sword Soul made from two Saint Spirit Tier resources, but extracting it would erase Little Paper Figure’s intelligence. He refused the inheritance, escaped the collapsing Mystic Realm after the sword spirit attacked him, and left Dong Muyun to claim the Fengdu Sword King’s remaining inheritance.

• The sword spirit revealed that the Fengdu Sword King had created a Sword Soul from a Soul Seed and Sword Intent Origin, and that Little Paper Figure carried its mark.
• Su Ping learned that extracting the Sword Soul would erase Little Paper Figure’s existing intelligence, so he refused the inheritance and put Little Paper Figure into his Beast Taming Space.
• The furious sword spirit attacked Su Ping, who used Qin Erlong’s protective button and his Pet Beast Home talent to escape the collapsing Mystic Realm with his pets.
• Dong Muyun rejected the sword spirit’s command to kill Su Ping and instead demanded the inheritance for herself.
• The sword spirit gave Dong Muyun a small sword-shaped necklace pendant before the Mystic Realm crumbled.

Su Ping survived the collapsing Mystic Realm, refused the Sword Soul legacy to protect Qianyi, and received the Fengdu Sword King's legacy from Dong Muyun under their contract. He absorbed part of the Mystic Realm with Spatial Absorption, advanced to Elite Tier Two, and began examining the legacy as Qin Erlong shared footage of the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf with an expert in his family.

• Qin Erlong praised Su Ping for refusing the Sword Soul and protecting Qianyi, while Dong Muyun emerged from the collapsing Mystic Realm and confronted him about his plan.
• Qin Erlong learned that Su Ping had developed the Ten Thousand Woods Wolf, and Dong Muyun returned the Fengdu Sword King's legacy but kept Yuntian Resort instead of paying for the remaining exploration time.
• After Dong Muyun and Qin Erlong left, Su Ping used Spatial Absorption on the collapsing Mystic Realm, expanded his Beast Taming Space, and advanced to Elite Tier Two.
• Su Ping returned home and began examining the Fengdu Sword King's legacy, intending to fulfill the sword king's final wish if he could.
• Qin Erlong sent footage of Su Ping's Ten Thousand Woods Wolf to an expert in his family, who called to ask where he had found the wolf.

Su Ping received Breeder Mu Yu’s diary about attempts to evolve Paper-Folding Men, which described failed experiments and a dangerous Soul Devouring Experiment. The Myriad Spirits Codex revealed that Paper-Folding Men had exceptional potential and a racial skill called Paper Body Splicing, prompting Su Ping to investigate it.

• Qin Erlong invited Su Ping to Demon City during winter break, when Qin Xiaoxue was expected to evolve her Canopy Wolf Emperor.
• Su Ping continued cultivating the Ten Thousand Woods Wolves, with four of the ten Legion Forest Wolves learning Photosynthesis.
• Sun Chaoju told Su Ping that no breeder in Jianghai Province was proficient in Paper-Folding Men, but gave him Breeder Mu Yu’s research diary and three Sun Crystals from Liu Fuhai.
• Su Ping bought ten Paper-Folding Men and read Mu Yu’s diary, which recounted failed attempts to strengthen their souls and an illegal Soul Devouring Experiment that killed a subject.
• Su Ping checked the Paper-Folding Man entry in the Myriad Spirits Codex and found that it described exceptional potential and the racial skill Paper Body Splicing.
• Su Ping went to the area he had prepared for Undead-type pet beasts to investigate Paper Body Splicing.

Su Ping realized that Paper Body Splicing might join Paper-Folding Men’s incomplete souls as well as their paper bodies, and tested the idea by assembling three of them into a sword. The new Paper Sword displayed Paper Body Splicing (Beginner), leaving Su Ping ecstatic and Little Paper Figure captivated by the result.

• Su Ping asked Little Paper Figure Qianyi how he made his sword and watched him weave paper into its core, blade, guard, and hilt.
• Inspired by Qianyi’s demonstration and Mu Yu’s manuscript, Su Ping suspected that Paper Body Splicing could transform Paper-Folding Men by joining their bodies and souls.
• Su Ping drew detailed plans for a sword divided into three components and had Qianyi demonstrate each shape so two Paper-Folding Men could imitate him.
• Su Ping assembled the three transformed Paper-Folding Men into one seamless Paper Sword while Qianyi watched closely.
• A light appeared on the Paper Sword, and Su Ping’s True Eye identified it as Paper Body Splicing (Beginner).

Su Ping discovered that ordinary Paper-Folding Men could use Paper Body Splicing to combine into a stronger Paper Sword, then rapidly reassemble after the Paper-Folding Man Record leveled up. Although Qianyi could not splice his complete soul with them, Su Ping realized he could wield their swords instead, and Qianyi’s three-sword attack triggered a light of skill comprehension.

• Su Ping used True Eye to confirm that three Paper-Folding Men had become one fourth-rank Paper Sword with the new skill Paper Body Splicing, and tested its strength and separation.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex upgraded the Paper-Folding Man Record to level two and granted Connection Sharing, after which the three Paper-Folding Men quickly assembled into a Paper Sword on command.
• Su Ping tried to splice Qianyi with other Paper-Folding Men, but the attempt failed because Qianyi had a complete soul; the ordinary Paper-Folding Men could still combine freely among themselves.
• Su Ping gave Qianyi a Paper Sword to practice with, then formed two more swords and urged him to wield all three.
• Qianyi drove one Paper Sword through his chest to secure it, wielded the other two, and struck the dummy with a powerful slash that left a deep mark as a light of skill comprehension appeared.

Qianyi gained the mutated skill Mutated Paper Control, displayed a powerful three-sword technique, and left Su Ping thinking its evolution should become his focus. After Su Ping read the Fengdu Sword King's sword legacy and agreed to help Guan Lili cultivate Woodheart, news arrived that someone had fallen into the Spirit Creek River where a monster was present.

• Qianyi gained Mutated Paper Control and showed Su Ping how it let it command paper from its own body and other Paper-Folding Men.
• Qianyi demonstrated its swordsmanship and pierced a steel dummy with a thrown paper sword, then passed out from exhaustion along with the nine Paper-Folding Men forming its swords.
• Su Ping decided to focus on Qianyi's cultivation and dreamed of a sword immortal whose face and flying swords turned into paper.
• Su Ping read the Fengdu Sword King's sword techniques while Guan Qianshan told him Guan Lili had arrived with classmates.
• Su Ping agreed to help Guan Lili cultivate Woodheart after learning she had contracted a Forest Wolf.
• A person ran from the Spirit Creek River and warned that someone had fallen into the water and a monster was there.

After a Backstone Turtle was injured in the Spirit Creek River, Su Ping learned that the visitors had ignored warnings and gone fishing, then confronted the boy’s parents when Lu Xiao’s mother slapped Guan Qianshan. Dong Muyun arrived as Su Ping demanded an apology.

• A group of young visitors told Su Ping that Lu Xiao had jumped into the river, where a dark fish attacked him and injured his Backstone Turtle.
• Su Ping learned the visitors had sneaked past warnings and asked what kind of creature they had seen, but they could only describe a black fish over a meter long.
• While Guan Qianshan met Lu Xiao’s parents, Lu Xiao’s mother slapped him, and Su Ping stepped in to confront her.
• Su Ping demanded that Lu Xiao’s mother apologize, but she refused and Guan Lili warned him that Lu Xiao’s family was powerful.
• Dong Muyun entered and asked Su Ping whether he had run into trouble.

Su Ping accepted Dong Muyun’s investment in Woodheart and received the Forest Wolf and Elf Wolf evolution plans. Studying them led him to consider researching how powerful species might regress to ancient forms, and he left with Dong Muyun to investigate the dangerous pet beast in Spirit Creek River.

• Dong Muyun dismissed the couple who had confronted Su Ping and left her secretary to handle the dispute while she took Su Ping upstairs.
• Dong Muyun offered Su Ping an investment in Woodheart, and he accepted her offer of a hundred million for a one-percent share of its profits.
• Dong Muyun gave Su Ping complete evolution plans for the Forest Wolf and Elf Wolf.
• Su Ping read about species optimization and developed the idea of researching regression to uncover ancient base species and new evolutionary branches.
• Su Ping explained his idea to Dong Muyun, who could offer no advice, then both of them set out to investigate Spirit Creek River.

Su Ping and Dong Muyun discovered a dense gathering of aquatic pet beasts in the Spirit Creek River, drawn to a rare Rainbow Coral Polyp. Dong Muyun explained its unusual abilities and scarcity, and Su Ping began considering whether it could help Woodheart expand its business.

• Dong Muyun sent Yunying underwater, where it found a huge number of aquatic pet beasts gathered in the river.
• Yunying followed a distant rainbow glow to an enormous Rainbow Coral Polyp surrounded by circling fish.
• Dong Muyun explained that Rainbow Coral Polyps attracted fish, fed them with rainbow-lit water, and could help them grow and learn Rainbow Aurora.
• Dong Muyun described the polyp's rarity, fragile reproduction, and short lifespan, noting its potential value to Skycloud Group.
• Su Ping wondered whether bringing the Rainbow Coral Polyp to his artificial lake could create a new business opportunity for Woodheart.
