Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 610: Chapter 283: The Mentor and the Student! Master Yin Wants to Take a Disciple!

"Master Yin! We meet again."

Despite his displeasure towards Master Yin, Leng Ye greeted him. After they arrived in the office, Leng Ye introduced the man beside him, "This is the person in charge of the Heavenly Tomb operation and also the head instructor of the Beast Taming Special Forces this time, Su Anyong."

Su Anyong, looking at the black-haired Master Yin, quickly nodded and reached out his hand. "Master Yin, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Yin Luo smiled and nodded, extending his hand for a handshake.

Clearly, this reaction showed considerable respect to Su Anyong, whose rank was much lower. And it was even more apparent that Master Yin’s favorable treatment was not because Su Anyong himself held much prestige.

While shaking hands, Master Yin said with interest, "I heard before that Instructor Su has a promising son. Seeing him now, it seems like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree."

"You flatter me. Su Ping’s journey is still long, and compared to an Undead Breeding Master like yourself, he still falls far behind," Su Anyong humbly replied.

Clearly, there was still some time before the start of the Breeder selection, so a casual chat and some mutual flattery were to be expected.

"Instructor Su is too modest. Being able to develop the Heart of the Sun at such a young age in this breeding competition... haha! It has greatly shaken the entire Breeder Association headquarters. If it weren’t for Ghost Saint and Sang Sheng speaking up, I would have wished to visit Linzhou myself to see what kind of person this young genius, who has achieved so much at such a young age, truly is," Master Yin said.

Leng Ye watched with a smile as this old man, who was even older than him, skillfully adapted his words to his audience, and finally said, "That kid was just lucky; it wasn’t significant enough to cause a stir at the Breeder Association."

"Being lucky is no excuse. The emergence of a Super-Rank Skill isn’t something that can be achieved in a short amount of time, even with great luck. Definitely not in a short amount of time."

These words made Su Anyong and Ghost Saint exchange a glance. They were reminded of the events from a few days ago.

It was clear from that boy’s words that he must have made some breakthrough with Super-Rank Skills. Otherwise, why would the Dragon Emblem have appeared?

It was important to understand that every Dragon Emblem represented either a Saint Spirit-level Beast Tamer, a Breeding Master, or someone who had made an extraordinary contribution. For instance, the ace special agent from Dragon Nation who had infiltrated Eagle Country—such individuals would be awarded the Dragon Emblem.

So, although Master Yin’s words were complimentary, no one would have guessed that such polite praise was actually an understatement for Su Ping.

However, such things were not easy to verbalize.

Moreover, not just Su Anyong, but even Ghost Saint only knew of the matter; they were unaware of the specifics and the inside story. How exactly Su Ping obtained that Dragon Emblem, and the origins of the Super-Rank Skill that might reappear—Ghost Saint knew none of it.

But obviously, Master Yin, this master of the Necromancy System, was not aware of the thoughts passing between these two at this moment.

After pondering, he continued, "I’ve heard some things before. It seems that this young man’s second Pet Beast is also from the Necromancy Series, isn’t it? He seems quite interested in necromancy breeding?"

A faint glint passed through Leng Ye’s eyes as he glanced at this old man. When he first met Master Yin a few days ago, the man had subtly expressed his interest in Su Ping and even made indirect inquiries about Leng Ye’s trip to Linzhou.

What was this old fellow’s interest in Su Ping?

Without thinking too much, Su Anyong nodded. "Indeed, Su Ping is very interested in the Paperman, an Undead Pet Beast. His second Pet Beast is a mutant Paperman..."

"A Paperman..." Master Yin’s eyes, clear and sharp, narrowed slightly with a glint. "The disgrace of the Necromancy Series, reputed to be the most useless Undead Pet Beast—bar none. This young man’s thinking is quite interesting."

Leng Ye suddenly spoke up, "Speaking of which, his mutant Paperman has already completed its evolution."

"Oh?!"

Both Master Yin and Su Anyong were surprised. Clearly, neither of them knew about this.

It was one thing for Su Anyong to be unaware, but Master Yin nodded thoughtfully. "Impressive. Although the evolution of a mutated Pet Beast can sometimes be more bizarre than that of a regular Pet Beast, the Paperman, even as a mutant, must have presented considerable difficulty in evolving."

With this thought, as if having made up his mind, Master Yin then asked, "I also have some accomplishments in the breeding of Necromancy Series Pet Beasts. I wonder, does Su Ping have a mentor?"

At this question, Leng Ye, who had been somewhat puzzled and suspicious, suddenly realized the Old Ghost’s intention.

So that’s what he was aiming for?

Was he looking to take on a student?

Dragon Nation has had a tradition of apprenticeship since ancient times, which persists in the modern era, having become more modernized and even spread across the globe. In the study and breeding of Pet Beasts, the relationship between mentor and disciple is indispensable.
