Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 197: Chapter 137: Special Beast Taming Forces Training? Return to the Heart of Woods!_2

General Zhao had told him that the matter of the Special Beast Taming Forces was not to be spoken of to outsiders.

Although the two before him were not strangers, Old Zhao hadn’t specified if *they* could be told.

The Special Beast Taming Forces were an absolute secret.

Every detail about these forces—from members to Breeders, instructors, and Pet Beasts, even down to the type of Pet Beast and the names of the forces—was not permitted to be divulged in the slightest.

Seeing Su Ping’s troubled expression, Qin Erlong was also taken aback.

It was Liu Fuhai who asked, ”You can’t say it? Is it like that matter you told me about before?”

Su Ping nodded.

”Alright then,” Liu Fuhai also nodded. ”We won’t ask. Legion matters are, after all, fraught with taboos, and it’s better not to hear about them.”

This time, it was Qin Erlong’s turn to be suspicious. He turned to Liu Fuhai. ”What did you and Su Ping talk about?”

Liu Fuhai shot him a glance. ”Didn’t I tell you? I can’t say!”

”Can’t you act like a human being?”

This time, Qin Erlong experienced the same maddening frustration Liu Fuhai must have felt when he himself was being cryptic earlier.

This agonizing curiosity made him shift his resentful gaze from Liu Fuhai to Su Ping.

”Uh, Old Liu,” Su Ping touched his nose somewhat helplessly. ”Didn’t you say before that you could talk it over with Old Qin? There’s no one else here now...”

Liu Fuhai hummed twice, and Qin Erlong immediately understood.

”A few days ago, Magic Capital sent me a package with a jin of Dragon Blood Tea...” Qin Erlong began.

Liu Fuhai’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Erlong eagerly. ”What Dragon Blood?”

Qin Erlong shot the old coot—who wouldn’t lift a finger unless there was something in it for him—a speechless glance. ”What other Dragon Blood could it be? The best-tasting kind—Ice Dragon Blood...”

”Eight liang!”

”Nonsense! Three liang at most!”

”Deal.”

Old Liu was utterly satisfied, feeling as though a heavy burden that had been weighing on his chest for some time had finally been lifted.

He felt thoroughly refreshed from head to toe.

”Alright now, spill it. What exactly happened? I saw you being all secretive at Old Zhao’s place earlier.”

Liu Fuhai paused for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, ”At the end of the previous competition, that immense radiance emitted by the Wanmu Wolf, and its state of being enveloped in light—that was the initial combination of a nascent Super-Rank Skill’s Skill Module!”

Wanmu Wolf, immense light, Super-Rank Skill, nascent...

The moment these four keywords connected in his mind, even with Qin Erlong’s considerable composure, he couldn’t help but blurt out, ”What the fuck?!”

Perhaps because he wasn’t a specialized Breeder, Qin Erlong didn’t know much about certain aspects of Cultivation.

But as a powerful Beast Tamer, Qin Erlong was crystal clear about matters related to Pet Beast combat.

So naturally, he understood what Super-Rank Skills represented.

Qin Erlong looked at Su Ping, his eyes wide with a newfound worry.

Indeed, he was worried.

Because before this, he had thought that—concerns about his own old age aside—with his wife, their unfilial son, and Xiao Xue’s own Talented Ability, Xiao Xue was certainly a good enough match for this rascal Su Ping, even if Su Ping only possessed a modicum of talent in Cultivation. In fact, from the standpoint of social standing, they weren’t perfectly matched.

But if his granddaughter fancied him, that wasn’t a major issue.

But now, it seemed things weren’t quite so simple, were they?

How did this rascal keep shattering his perceptions time and again?

Is this reasonable?

Previously, his granddaughter Xiao Xue had used the example of the Master of the Holy Dragon to refute Sun Chaoju. And now? Had it turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Although this kid will likely face enormous difficulties compared to that Master of the Holy Dragon in the future, starting off exactly the same way is still too much to handle!

At this moment, Qin Erlong understood why Old Liu had kept this matter under wraps.

”Indeed, this matter must be kept secret for now,” Qin Erlong nodded after exhaling slowly. ”At least until the Breeder Competition.”

By then, Su Ping might enter the sights of certain influential people, and those who might want to resort to underhanded tactics wouldn’t dare.
