CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 56: UNIVERSAL CULTIVATION METHOD, THE BIRTH OF WANMU WOLF! (THIRD RELEASE)

Excitedly, he inserted the USB drive into the computer.

Su Ping was practically rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

This posture reminded him of his previous life when he first encountered something on the computer that opened the doors to a new world.

At the same time, while looking at the computer, he also paid attention to any activity in the Myriad Spirits Catalog in his mind.

Finally, the first folder on the USB drive opened, and a document appeared before Su Ping’s eyes:

[Accelerated Casting is an extremely practical passive Pet Beast Skill, speeding up a Pet Beast’s casting time and skill release speed. In battle, a second’s difference can decide life or death, and Accelerated Casting can make skill use smoother and more fluent...]

Upon opening the document, the introduction that appeared first went on and on about the effects and abilities of the Accelerated Casting Skill.

However, Su Ping wasn’t the slightest bit impatient, reading each word carefully—this was, after all, Sun Chaoju’s cultivation labor of love.

Beyond the method for cultivating Accelerated Casting, it also contained his cultivation insights and his years of understanding in nurturing the Forest Wolf.

It goes without saying that such knowledge was like a treasure to a Beast Tamer who had just stepped through this door.

Su Ping was so engrossed that he almost lost track of time.

It was only after he finished reading everything that a new prompt appeared in the Forest Wolf log within the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas in his mind, and Su Ping snapped back to reality.

[Detected Catalog ’Forest Wolf’ special cultivation method: Accelerated Casting Secret Cultivation Technique.]

[Detected ’Accelerated Spellcasting’ Secret Cultivation Technique has certain flaws and biases. Do you wish to spend 500 Catalog Experience Points to fully perfect it into a universal Pet Beast cultivation method?]

Huh?

What?

Su Ping felt the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas in his mind, and his first thought was simply:

What?

At first, he was puzzled. The Skill effect of Heart of Woods seemed far more precious than that of Accelerated Casting. Moreover, Heart of Woods was a Magic Potion formula. Compared to the now fairly complete cultivation method for Accelerated Casting, why would perfecting it cost more Experience Points than perfecting Heart of Woods?

This clearly didn’t make sense!

But after carefully sensing all the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping finally understood.

It wasn’t that it didn’t make sense, but that he hadn’t believed in the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas’s wondrous abilities!

Now, Su Ping believed!

Because according to the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, the effects and abilities of this Accelerated Casting could be perfected into a universal cultivation method!

What did that mean?

Before this, Sun Chaoju’s Secret Cultivation Technique for Accelerated Casting could only be used on the Forest Wolf, allowing only the Forest Wolf to achieve comprehension.

But now, after his own perfection, it was no longer limited by Race! Instead, it could be used by all Pet Beasts!

Such a leap in advancement, Su Ping believed, not even Vice President Liu could have conceived of, let alone achieved.

Yet with the feedback from the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas, Su Ping could achieve it with just a thought.

Restrain himself!

He absolutely had to restrain himself!

Su Ping took a long, deep breath. The big gift package from Sun Chaoju contained another trump card, and Su Ping suspected that this one was likely the big pit that would require Experience Points to fill!

Although 500 Experience Points weren’t much for Su Ping at this stage, he still needed to finish reviewing the other document before he could feel at ease.

Still wanting to explore it further, Su Ping closed the document and opened another.

To his surprise, this document was ten times larger than the other one!

One could easily imagine the extent these experimental data and the Wanmu Wolf’s evolution had reached.

Indeed, that was the case.

From the very first glance, with the accompanying illustrations and explanations, Su Ping became deeply engrossed.

From this research report, Su Ping also learned how Sun Chaoju and the Wolf Den breeding base had discovered the evolution method for the Wanmu Wolf.

The Wanmu Wolf was a special evolutionary type of Pet Beast, created by further intensifying the Forest Wolf’s Wood Element Attribute.

The focus of enhancement was on that Wood Attribute!

Previously at the Wolf Den base, an odd Forest Wolf had emerged. It seemed to have eaten too much meat and one day suddenly started gnawing on a tree stump.

At first, the Wolf Den paid little attention.

But later, they noticed that after gnawing on those trees, the Forest Wolf, in addition to its normal behavior, started displaying new actions, such as standing perfectly still or burying its paws in the ground.

It truly seemed as if it was developing into a plant.

This situation was very strange. Initially, they thought it might be some kind of illness. However, the Wolf Den was a substantial operation; after tests revealed nothing abnormal, they didn’t pay much mind to a single Forest Wolf.

Until one day, after basking in the sunlight for several days without moving, eating, or drinking, the Forest Wolf comprehended a Special Skill, one that a Forest Wolf would absolutely never comprehend:

Photosynthesis.

This Special Skill, which Su Ping had seen before on a Luozisong (Pine)’s offspring, was a Special Skill unique to all Plant Type Pet Beasts.

This Skill had some similarities to Sunlight Absorption, but its effect was entirely different.

In other words, at this point, the Forest Wolf, under these strange circumstances, having ingested a large amount of plant matter and mimicking plant growth, had begun to take on plant characteristics.

Su Ping pondered this, then continued reading the research report.

The changes in this peculiar Forest Wolf quickly attracted Sun Chaoju’s attention.

Afterward, several more days passed as the Forest Wolf fully simulated becoming a plant. During these days, Sun Chaoju was far from idle.

Anomalies in Pet Beasts often represented huge opportunities and new research directions!

And indeed, this proved true. During those few days, Sun Chaoju adopted methods used for nurturing Plant Type Pet Beasts, purchasing considerable Water and Earth Element resources to use on the Forest Wolf, which was now in a plant-like state.

And, not unexpectedly, after the Forest Wolf consumed a massive amount of these resources, its Energy accumulation reached a peak, and evolution began!

However, as Sun Chaoju waited with eager anticipation, the final result was, predictably, tragic.

Three days. Three days later, the evolving Wanmu Wolf completely lost all remaining traces of its animal form. Its organs, viscera, and flesh all underwent plant fiberization.

Ultimately, even the plant-like husk did not remain; it completely rotted away and vanished from the world.

After that, Sun Chaoju and the Wolf Den began secretly researching this subject, pouring vast amounts of effort and resources into their attempts.

The results, in the end, were all the same, without exception.

All ended in failure!

And as Su Ping finished reading all the research logs, just as he had expected, the Catalog for the Forest Wolf within the Myriad Spirit Beast Atlas in his mind slowly lit up once more.
