Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 585: Chapter 271: Mysterious Flame! The Rapid Expansion of the Heart of Myriad Spirits!_2

Ye Zhou looked aggrieved and indignant.

Su Ping scratched his head.

If Ye Zhou hadn’t stormed over, Su Ping would have completely forgotten about his existence, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed:

"Hahaha, sorry, I forgot."

Ye Zhou looked utterly resentful.

But he also helplessly shook his head:

"I really don’t know what you’re busy with every day. I came over to tell you that I’m going back to Magic Capital; school starts tomorrow."

"Eh? So soon?"

"Soon?"

Ye Zhou glared at him. Is this considered soon?

For students like them, the start of the semester at Magic Capital Academy was quite flexible.

These were already the last few days; not returning to report by now would be utterly unreasonable.

"Er... how are you getting back? Let me see you off."

"The Dean and Miss Qin will be here in a while; they’ll take Dong Muxuan and me with them. Seriously, what on earth are you busy with every day? Are we still going ahead with the ancestral evolution or not?"

"I’ve genuinely been busy lately. But on the other hand, aren’t you graduating in a few months? Won’t you have plenty of time then?"

Su Ping didn’t seem to mind.

"Who’s as carefree as you? There’s always something to do after graduation. Forget it, I can’t be bothered arguing with a laid-back young master like you. But no matter how busy you are, don’t forget the mid-year assessment. I heard from Miss Qin that you’ve developed a sensational Pet Beast."

"I’m looking forward to facing you on the battle platform and seeing just what kind of sensational Pet Beast you have!"

Ye Zhou reined in his expression. His true temperament, which only surfaced around a few people, disappeared, replaced by the indifferent and arrogant demeanor that Su Ping quite disliked.

He looked as if everything was under his control, brimming with confidence, like a master strategist.

What gives this guy so much confidence?

Is his Pet Beast’s strength really that impressive?

But could it really be stronger than Qian Yi in its Fifth Gear state?

That’s clearly impossible!

But then again, when it actually comes to the assessment competition, whether Qian Yi can use abilities that rely on external power is indeed an unknown.

Chatting idly with Ye Zhou, Su Ping stepped out of the room. Accompanied by Dong Muxuan, he went to the top floor of the Heart of Cloud.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the familiar Cloud Soarer arrived above the building, hovering in the sky.

Sang Sheng and Qin Xiaoxue, who were also heading back, descended from it.

After some pleasantries, Su Ping waved goodbye, seeing off his young friends who were returning to Magic Capital.

Dong Muxuan was one thing, but he had become quite good friends with Ye Zhou during this time.

Hmm, his relationship with Miss Qin was somewhat more special.

After seeing them off, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the upcoming period would be entirely his own.

It was also the final stretch of time before he had to head to Beiyuan.

In fact, not many days remained before he had to go to Beiyuan Province to join the Special Beast Taming Forces as a Breeder.

The reason was simple: mid-March, by the Gregorian calendar, was just over two months after New Year’s Eve.

Now that the winter vacation was over, less than a month remained.

Thinking of this, Su Ping stood atop the Heart of Cloud’s main tower, overlooking the entire Heart of Myriad Spirits, and stretched lazily.

In the coming period, his task was to make all the necessary preparations for Xiao Qing’s evolution.

For instance, he needed to cultivate the two skills he had acquired to apply to Xiao Qing’s clone: Life Burst and Poison Blast!

However, Ye Zhou hadn’t been idle during his stay either.

One very important matter he handled was also intimately related to Su Ping.

Ye Zhou had previously reached an agreement with Dong Muyun to transfer a portion of the sales rights for the Time Potion to Pingyun.

Although it wasn’t an exclusive deal—after all, the Time Potion wasn’t solely Ye Zhou’s creation. While he had provided significant help, it was primarily the work of numerous research professors and teachers at Magic Capital Academy.

Such a treasure, capable of saving lives at critical moments, was valued no less—if not more—than the Heart of the Wolf and the Illusionary Heart currently sold by Pingyun.

Clearly, this cooperation was not just a favor to Su Ping but also due to Dong Muxuan’s involvement.

Dong Muyun had been discussing the specifics of the profit-sharing agreement with Magic Capital recently. Su Ping couldn’t be bothered to delve into the details, content to remain a hands-off owner. This was also why she hadn’t had time to pester him lately.

Time passed slowly in this manner.

「In the blink of an eye, several days had passed.」

Su Ping, having finally, more or less, completed his preparations for Xiao Qing’s cultivation, went to his office to hear Lao Guan’s progress report:

"The construction of the Heart of Myriad Spirits is proceeding smoothly."

Lao Guan got straight to the point, knowing that Su Ping’s time was tight:

"The Heart of Soul is already taking shape. The first scenario, the Death Wheatfield you designated earlier, is almost complete. Excluding the Pet Beasts, the construction cost is around 10,000,000.

Simultaneously, the foundational structures for the Zombie Settlement, the Tomb Sun Primary School, and the Third Mental Hospital have begun construction."

"Hmm! How’s the training of Bai Cang’s Pet Beast progressing?" Su Ping nodded, satisfied with the speed.

"I don’t know much about that; you’ll need to check on it yourself when the time comes." Lao Guan didn’t presume to comment on Pet Beast cultivation, as it wasn’t his area of expertise, and he couldn’t discern much anyway.
