Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 611: Chapter 283: The Mentor and the Student! Master Yin Wants to Take a Disciple!_2

Just as Master Zhu Hong had once said to Su Ping.

However, at that time, Master Zhu Hong had wanted Su Ping to take on students, while clearly, Master Yin now wanted to take Su Ping as his student.

This was normal. Master Zhu Hong himself did not like to eagerly teach disciples. Also, during their time at the Heart of Woods, he had witnessed Su Ping’s own abilities and naturally knew that with Su Ping’s talent and capabilities, there was no reason for him to be someone else’s disciple at this point.

But the person before him, obviously, did not know.

In many cases, especially within the Breeder Association, the relationship between a mentor and a student is quite solid.

As long as there were no serious problems between the two, it was rare to see students reporting mentors or mentors expelling students.

A mentor’s connections, experience, and cultivation insights.

The student’s time, energy, future earnings, titles, and so forth.

Such a structure and pattern were indeed mutually beneficial.

Undoubtedly, for both parties, finding a mentor with high status, wide connections, abundant resources, and extensive knowledge, as well as finding a student with immense potential and extraordinary abilities, were both exceptionally rare opportunities.

At first, Liu Fuhai did indeed have the idea of taking Su Ping as an official student.

However, after just a month or so, seeing the Wanmu Wolf during the legion competitions completely made him abandon the thought.

And now, it was clear that the only Undead Breeding Master in Dragon Nation also harbored such thoughts.

Clearly, with such a statement, both Su Anyong and Leng Ye understood.

However, though they understood, they did not know how Su Ping would respond.

It had to be said, Leng Ye did not think too highly of Master Yin. He considered the Super-Rank Skill, through which Master Yin had barely advanced to Master status, to be of little practical use. Compared to the myriad Super-Rank Skills Charles had cultivated over the years, including the Hall of Fame level Undead Death Domain, this old man was no match. Regardless, he was currently Dragon Nation’s only Undead Breeding Master.

The influence he could exert and the resources he could mobilize were still quite considerable.

If Su Ping could have such a title, it would certainly make things much smoother for him within Dragon Nation.

With this in mind, Leng Ye spoke up, "Well, we don’t know. If Master Yin is interested in Xiao Ping, perhaps it’s best to ask him directly."

"Oh?!" Master Yin was momentarily startled. "What do you mean?"

Su Anyong quickly explained, "It’s like this: Su Ping arrived in Beiyuan Province four days ago and has reportedly been around Heavenly Mountain these past few days. If you wish to take Su Ping as a student, I can call him over, and the two of you can chat."

Su Ping is in Beihai City?

Master Yin’s eyes lit up, just as Leng Ye and Su Anyong had surmised.

He indeed had this very intention.

He had many students, but there weren’t many worth mentioning.

Over the years, Dragon Nation’s upper echelons had greatly supported the cultivation of Undead Pet Beasts.

But as the only Undead Breeding Master among Dragon Nation’s upper echelons, he had yet to achieve any particularly outstanding accomplishments, which left Yin Luo somewhat anxious.

In Eagle Country, Charles’s influence had been rapidly increasing worldwide over these past years.

Their Undead cultivation standards had even surpassed those of the ancient mummy nation, which primarily utilized Undead Pet Beasts.

Now, with the emergence of the Heavenly Tomb, Undead Cultivators were the main force in studying it.

If a young, exceptionally talented Genius Breeder like Su Ping joined his research team, it would undeniably be a significant boost for Master Yin.

Regardless of how impressive his earlier statements had been, the selection for the Heavenly Tomb Special Beast Taming Force was, in fact, very important and critical.

Beyond the Special Forces, he also had to choose members for the research team that would study the tomb once it was unearthed.

This was a chance for the Undead Cultivators within Dragon Nation to overtake others on the curve!

It was also the best opportunity for these Undead Cultivators.

It was a chance to silence those voices within the Breeder Association who claimed that Undead Cultivators only consumed resources without producing results.

Otherwise, with Master Yin’s status, he would not have personally resorted to such an indirect approach to recruit a junior as his student.

The Breeders who wished to become his students could form a line from the Imperial Capital all the way to Northern Cold.

However, the only concern now was whether this youngster might have already been snatched up by that fellow, Zhu Hong.

After all, both Sang Sheng and Ghost Saint had spoken up at the time. It also coincided with the New Year, which prevented some from attending. This gave Zhu Hong a perfect reason and excuse to stay in Linzhou for a while.

Who knows if such a talented Breeder genius hasn’t already been snatched up by that fellow?

Nowadays, being able to get in touch with him was undoubtedly excellent.

"That’s fine, then. I’ll trouble Instructor Su! If Su Ping is willing, naturally everything can be discussed," Master Yin said hastily.

Everything can be discussed?

Leng Ye chuckled. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it also be possible for him to offer that treasured Super-Rank Skill of his?

Of course, he wouldn’t say this out loud, mainly because he wasn’t very familiar with this Master Yin.

Seeing Yin Luo’s demeanor, Su Anyong mentally scoffed, but he had to admit that when it concerned his son’s future, Su Anyong was very reliable.

The selection hadn’t officially started yet, so it was a good opportunity to call his son.

The boy had been in the Heavenly Mountain area these past few days; it was a good time to tell him to come over.

With that thought, Su Anyong took out his mobile phone. "In that case, I’ll give the kid a call."

"Then I’ll be troubling Instructor Su." Master Yin looked at Su Anyong with anticipation.

Given the situation, Su Anyong had no choice but to make the call in front of them.

"Hello?"

"Hey! What’s up?" Su Ping’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Su Anyong turned on the speakerphone and hurriedly asked, "It’s like this: regarding your path as a Breeder, do you have any registered mentors at the association?"

Su Ping, on the other end of the line, gave the phone a strange look. What kind of question is this Old Ghost asking?

"No, why do you ask? Don’t tell me that after forty or fifty years, you’ve finally decided to follow in your father’s footsteps? But even if you wanted to now, it wouldn’t be appropriate, right? How about the father follows in the son’s footsteps instead? It’s more fitting for you to be my student. You, wanting to be my mentor? Isn’t that completely reversing the natural order?"

Leng Ye was already accustomed to the conversational style between the father and son.

However, Master Yin’s eye twitched. Listening to this kid, he doesn’t sound like someone who respects his elders and teachers at all, does he?

Su Anyong coughed awkwardly. "Ahem, you brat, watch your words! Me, become a Breeder? I was just asking about you! Anyway, where are you now? Still at Heavenly Mountain?"

"I just got back. I’m in Beihai City now. What’s up?"

"Yes, there is something. Come to the Beihai City branch of the Breeder Association around five or six this afternoon. I’ll take you out for a meal."

Clearly, such an important matter, especially involving a figure like Master Yin, couldn’t be properly discussed over the phone.

Both Leng Ye and Master Yin nodded, satisfied with Su Anyong’s arrangements.

"That’s all? Alright, I got it. But are you sure it’s at the Beihai City Breeder Association?"

"Yes... Why?"

"Nothing. Alright, I have some things to take care of here too. Talk to you later."

The call ended. Su Anyong looked at his phone, then turned around. "Master Yin, is this arrangement acceptable?"

Master Yin nodded with a smile.

Then, the staff from outside finally came in. "Gentlemen, it’s about time."
