Chapter Summaries

At Demon City Advanced Beast Taming Academy, Qin Xiaoxue’s grandmother learned of Su Ping’s Ten Thousand Woods Wolf and warned her son to stop interfering in Xiaoxue’s choices.

• Su Ping estimated that Wolfheart could improve absorption efficiency by ten or twenty percent, leaving Dong Muyun stunned.

Su Ping completed Wolfheart, a potion recognized by the Myriad Spirits Codex, and went to the Breeder Association to test it on wolfhound-type pet beasts. His experiment impressed the visiting Huaiyang Breeders and left them considering Jianghai’s recruiting offer.

By the end of the trials, breeders were already asking to place large orders, while Su Ping realized the potion could become a major source of business.

As Dong Muyun prepared the new factory’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, Su Ping invited Division Commander Lin and several Breeders, leaving the ceremony set for the next morning.

• Dong Mutian told his father that Dong Muyun had given Su Ping land and resources, but his father told him to stop pursuing the matter and assigned Dong San to stay with him.

• Liu Fuhai noticed Dong Muyun staring admiringly at Su Ping and reconsidered Qin Erlong’s earlier concerns.

Su Ping used a Spirit Communing Stone to break through to Elite Tier Four, and the breakthrough triggered Qianyi's advancement from Ordinary Tier Ten to the Elite Stage. Su Ping arrived in the basement just as Qianyi displayed a newly comprehended skill.

Su Ping trained him through the night and, convinced sword techniques might lead to evolution, prepared to teach him the One-Word Lightning Sword.

• Qianyi demonstrated a new skill, and Su Ping used True Eye to identify it as Beginner-level Mutated Sword Body, which allowed him to comprehend swordplay skills.

• Su Ping chose the One-Word Lightning Sword as Qianyi’s first technique and asked whether he was ready to learn it.

Su Ping struggled to turn Qianyi’s sword techniques into a new skill until Su Anyong’s advice led him to experiment with Lightning-type resources on the Paper-Folding Men that formed its swords. When the electrified Paper-Folding Men combined, they began to evolve, leaving Su Ping stunned.

• Su Ping tested Qianyi’s sword strike and found its power too low to form a new swordsmanship skill, despite a week of training.
• Li Shu told Su Ping he had decided to become a Breeder and focus on Forest Wolves, then began helping at Woodheart.
• Su Ping explained Qianyi’s situation to Su Anyong, whose suggestion about Lightning-type energy made Su Ping realize the swords themselves could use Lightning-type resources.

Su Ping discovered that Qianyi’s new sword technique had brought the Paper-Folding Man close to evolution, then uncovered the Fengdu Sword King’s hidden sword cultivation methods. After wasting most of his Record experience on failed deductions, Su Ping received a call from Dong Muyun, who said she had brought the big toy he had been waiting for.

• Dong Muyun called Su Ping and told him to meet her at Yuntian’s main entrance to collect the big toy he had been longing for.

Su Ping received Black Blood, a half-awakened mechanical-core sports car whose intelligence, Feifei, could not connect to a mechanical pet body.

Su Ping’s Little Paper Figure completed its evolution into a Paper Immortal Swordsman, reaching Elite Tier Nine and raising Su Ping’s mental power to Elite Tier Six.

Su Ping refused Mu Yu’s request to show his evolved Mutated Paper-Folding Man and rejected Mu Yu’s appeal to put breeding above national borders. After Su Ping left, Mu Yu ordered Harman to secretly steal Su Ping’s soul fire, Mutated Paper-Folding Man, and sword-shaped spatial pendant.

Su Ping was ambushed on a suburban road, where Qianyi killed the attacker’s Steel-Armed Ape before the dying Beast Tamer revealed a bomb. Black Blood teleported Su Ping to a hospital, but Feifei and the car were caught in the explosion, leaving Su Ping stunned and unsure whether Feifei had survived.

After surviving a mechanical-weapon attack, Su Ping traced the attackers’ possible motive to the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal around his neck and alerted powerful allies, setting Linzhou’s authorities in motion. His search also alerted a northern military figure who recognized Su Ping as Su Chongguang’s grandson and hurried to Linzhou after learning he had been attacked.

• Dong Muyun found the attack site in flames, confirmed Su Ping was safe, and checked that Feifei’s Mechanical Core had only been damaged.
